Claude 3.7 is now the state of the art.

Anthropic also released an agentic coding tool on the CLI.

Cursor has already updated to add support for 3.7.

o3-mini is nice. The code generation feels pretty good, but as @simonwillison.net pointed out, it’s “understanding” of what’s going on makes it great for documentation.

Ok @duolingoverde.bsky.social let’s give this another try again again tea vex…

This is pretty incredible, they reproduced DeepSeek R1-Zero in the CountDown game for < $30 and the results seem to scale with model size/quality. Does this represent an order of magnitude jump in performance/size?

I always see the meme about being stuck in Vim, we have a good laugh and move on. But for countless individuals each year it is a real problem. For those of you truly stuck, try <esc> <shift>-Z-Z to save and quit or <esc> :q! to quit without saving.

I think these are the two best guides on installing a PDS and migrating data to it.

A really nice high level description of hosting your own PDS.

Hmm thinking about self-hosting my PDS. Do I have the attention span to keep it going indefinitely since you can’t migrate back…

Sometimes I think I should write a book, but whenever I explore the idea further, I find that someone else has already written it, often better than I could.

The irony is that this doesn’t seem to deter those who write books. Either they haven’t noticed, or they simply don’t care.

Gah! That moment you make a change to a live music mix and it snaps together and you wonder who was running sound 5 minutes ago.

Maybe this is self-evident, but I think the reason generative AI and LLMs in particular are so striking is that they pertain to language. Humans are relational creatures. Part of our intelligence and productivity is derived from our interconnectedness.

I’m refining my Obsidian setup this year by adding an archive vault to declutter search results. Also shifting from PARA to a more Evergreen notes approach.

My note-taking and journaling keep evolving. After testing countless tools, I realized success depends on sticking to your system—and refining it over time.

MSFT spending 80b on AI data centers is maybe the one thing that has me believing that maybe we get AGI this year. Or something worse.

The or worse is that we fail to achieve AGI and instead enter a spiral of creating ever more powerful cognitohazards that gradually destroy humanity.
January 5, 2025 at 6:01 PM
There is a lot of debate about what AGI means and when we will be achieving it. I would like to put forth the following definition, “I think for practical purposes it is the point at which human productive value begins to drop. Especially in relation to applications of AI.”

I also made some minor changes to my Obsidian workflow. I feel like I’m at the point where I could write a book about it.
