Bad "AI" content is just bad content, written faster.

While agents sound like wizardry they aren't, here's 6 basic Claude projects each w/ a specific function & instructions to turn ideas into quality posts.

A short post about a really cool video that appeared on the internet a couple days ago, from MindOn tech. It’s the most fluent and fluid home robot video I’ve seen, I’m pretty sure it’s real, and here is how/why.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

From a CTO at a startup:

"We interview devs by giving them a task to build an app on the spot, from scratch (2x BE endpoints, some frontend.) They can use AI, ofc - and we dig into why they did this or that.

What is surprising: 14/15 devs from Meta failed this screening."

Gemini 3 on par with experts

this riveting (surprise!) tale from a determined 18th-19th century historian explains

1. OCR can be difficult, excruciatingly difficult

2. Gemini 3 seems to do true reasoning to decipher old hand written ledgers, beyond GPT-5-Pro

open.substack.com/pub/generati...
If this behaviour proves reliable and replicable, it points to something profound that the labs are also starting to admit: that true reasoning may not require explicit rules or symbolic scaffolding to arise, but can instead emerge from scale, multimodality, and exposure to enough structured complexity. In that case, the sugar-loaf entry is more than a remarkable transcription, it is a small but clear (and I think unambiguous) sign that the line between pattern recognition and genuine understanding is beginning to blur.

Looped LLMs

Unlike RNNs, HRM, etc., this starts with an already pretrained LLM, adds a loop, and trains a little longer

it’s a very frugal approach to creating deeper models

github.com/mcleish7/ret...
A schematic diagram comparing a layered model architecture (left) with a modified recurrent design (right). On the left, a vertical stack of labeled blocks represents model layers from L0 to L21: • The top layers L0–L1 are in light blue, with a dotted arrow leading right. • Middle layers L2–L15 are shaded gray and marked “Removed.” • Layers L16–L19 are dark green, connected by a green dotted arrow to the right. • The bottom layers L20–L21 are red, connected by a red dotted arrow. On the right, a corresponding vertical flow shows the new structure: • At the top is a Prelude block (light blue). • Below it, a small dark green box labeled s₀ ~ N(0, σ²)ᵛᵃʳᶦᵃᵇˡᵉ appears beside e and sᵢ. • Next comes an Adapter (orange). • A large Recurrent Block (dark green) includes a looping green arrow that feeds back into itself, showing iteration producing sᵢ₊₁. • At the bottom are Coda (red) and p. The diagram overall illustrates converting a deep stack of transformer layers into a compact recurrent architecture, where early layers form the prelude, middle ones are replaced by a recurrent block, and the final layers form the coda.

The Present Tragedy Strikes Whatever happened to dhh? I regret to inform you that, after a long struggle, he eventually lost his fight against the parasitic fungus that was taking over his brain,14 and died. The exact timeline is unclear, but we suspect he succumbed to his illness sometime in 2020. A morbid side-effect of his condition is that his body is still alive, walking around, delivering keynote addresses at confs and screeds on social media. Yet he exists only as a macabre meat puppet, his sinews pulled taught, controlled entirely by the brain parasite he contracted from a WhatsApp group chat. This state of affairs is upsetting, and confusing, but it bears repeating: the man we knew and loved as dhh is gone. All that remains today is an unsettling creature better known to us as David Hamburger Helper.

I dug into progressive image rendering and found a bunch of common assumptions aren't quite true.

➡️ JPEG & WebP progressive-renders worse in Safari
➡️ AVIF _does_ support progressive
➡️ But JPEG XL in Safari doesn't
➡️ JPEG XL decodes much slower than AVIF
⬇️ and more

I tried to AI code some in-browser video decoding stuff. It made a mess.

So I learned the APIs somewhat properly, and did a much better job, but it was still messy.

Then I found mediabunny.dev and it just worked. Yay!

@marcelorinesi.bsky.social FYI on Feedbin your RSS post content looks like raw markdown. just wanted to let you know
A few of the ideas, topics, and commonplaces that have been gaining steam on arXiv during the last few months (yes, I do a lot of filtering to keep away most of the genAI stuff; explainer ). **1\. Altermagnets:** The Wikipedia entry warns _This article may be too technical for most readers to understand,_ and it might not be wrong; here's a less technical article . Some recent articles: * Theories of Superconducting Diode Effects * Spin-Orbit Coupling-Driven Chirality Switching of Spin Waves in Altermagnets * A large spin-splitting altermagnet designed from the hydroxylated MBene monolayer * All-Altermagnetic Tunnel Junction of RuO2/NiF2/RuO2 * Relativistic Spin-momentum locking in altermagnets **2\. Einstein Probe:** A Chinese-European X-ray space telescope designed to find very quickly variable or transient events that other instruments can look at right away; being able to study an object or event through multiple tools is very useful, but for fast-changing or disappearing targets you need to have good global coordination and the right early detection systems. Some recent articles: * Hard X-ray Emission in AU Mic Flares: A Minor Contributor to Planetary Atmospheric Escape * Detecting Population III Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Era of EP and SVOM * Radio observations point to a moderately relativistic outflow in the fast X-ray transient EP241021a * A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf * Comparative Statistical Analysis of Prompt and Afterglow X-Ray Flares in Gamma-Ray Bursts: Insights into Extended Central Engine Activity **3\. Cosmic noon:** The moment in the Universe's history, about 3 billion years after the Big Bang, when star and galaxy formation peaked (stars kept being formed afterward, of course; the Sun is billions of years younger than that). Some recent articles: * Feedback and dynamical masses in high-$z$ galaxies: the advent of high-resolution NIRSpec spectroscopy * MEGATRON: the impact of

it really cannot be overstated how good a tacit knowledge database is

"is the best practice to do it like this, or like this?" unlocks soooo much in any domain
gordon.bsky.social Gordon @gordon.bsky.social · 12d
One incredible thing about LLMs is that they encode a bunch of best-practice knowledge you would otherwise only pick up through apprenticeship, or by spending months digging through blogs and docs. any% speedruns in new domains are much faster now.
