Watching OpenAI’s new o3 model guess where a photo was taken is one of those moments where decades of science fiction suddenly come to life. It’s a cross between the …
I turned a forest trail near my apartment into a playable neural world. You can explore that world in your web browser by clicking right here :
How to use AI coding assistants without letting your hard-earned engineering skills wither away.
AI coding tools boost productivity but may sacrifice the flow state and deep satisfaction developers experience when writing code by hand. What are we losing?
It turns out that LLMs can make CAD models for simple 3D mechanical parts. And, I think they’ll be extremely good at it soon.
MCPs—Model Context Protocols—are set to transform AI from passive chatbots into powerful, action-taking agents. But the real story isn’t what MCPs enable—it’s who controls them.
An essay about bad AI app design
High-degree polynomial features aren’t inherently unstable: the power basis and unscaled inputs are. This post shows how regularization and Bernstein polynomials make polynomial regression behave.
Demand consolidation, changing compute mix, custom silicon, and distributed training will hurt NVIDIA's pole position.
How LLM-powered programming tools amplify developer capabilities rather than replace them
For the past two and a half years the feature I’ve most wanted from LLMs is the ability to take on search-based research tasks on my behalf. We saw the …
Don't let AI erode your focus.
New models and new thresholds
$3 billion seems high to me. Google is on a warpath. And Apple shoots itself in the foot, twice.
Extensive new documentation from Anthropic on how to get the best results out of their Claude Code CLI coding agent tool, which includes this fascinating tip: We recommend using the …
A field guide to responsible AI-assisted development
I truly and passionately hate hype. From the fakeness of it to the sheer stupidity it represents, but perhaps most of all, because of the devastating consequence it often results in.
The economy will literally double every year afterwards
Last month I asked people to hack part of my YouTube video, specifically to de-pixelate the contents of a folder I had pixelated starting at the 4:57 mark. Your browser does not support the video tag. For years, people have used the censor tool to blur or pixelate out parts of videos where there's sensitive…
An article from dylanbeattie.net
In the two and a half years that we’ve been talking about prompt injection attacks I’ve seen alarmingly little progress towards a robust solution. The new paper Defeating Prompt Injections …
Before we go any further: I hate to ask you to do this, but I need your help — I'm up for this year's Webbys for the best business podcast award. I know it's a pain in the ass, but can you sign up and vote for Better
There’s a lot of hype these days around patterns for building with AI. Agents, memory, RAG, assistants—so many buzzwords! But the reality is, you don’t need fancy techniques or libraries to build useful personal tools with LLMs.
Explaining the Model Context Protocol and everything that might go wrong.
