So, what happens when Google AI meets The Onion? 🤔
I was excited to tell my kids that there's a sequel to Encanto, only to scroll down and learn that Google's AI just completely made this up

The work happening with things like Large Concept Models, byte latent transformers and fine tuning is giving me an impression that in the near future we will see more of structured semantic information getting into the core of neural networks.

Falling in love with Feed Readers again. I recovered one of my old OPMLs.
1. More than 50% of the feeds were no longer working.
2. Some were working but no longer maintained. Authors had moved on to new domains/hosts.
I currently have 877 feeds in my reader.

Do you take notes with your laptop or the good old fashioned way using a pen and paper?

So excited to know that adding a /rss to the end of a Bluesky profile gives me its RSS feed!
For Mastodon, it's simply suffixing with .rss!
Here are my RSS feeds as an example:

Of late, I am spending more time reading feeds the old fashioned way using feed readers. I am finding it way more useful than sifting through tons of noise to find the gems in social media apps.

@openvibe.social My Bluesky account stopped working in Openvibe and when I add it back it gives me an authentication error. I created a new App password and tried with it, but it doesn't seem to work.
I am using Openvibe on Android. Mastodon and Threads are fine.

Reasoners not only have a way to determine the answer but to verify if the answer is right.
This final answer is true, because these statements/equations are true. And this intermediate step is true because the previous statement is true and so on until we traverse back to the initial assumptions.

Mathematical calculations and inferencing make use of temporary memory or pen and paper as a scratch pad to store intermediate results. Can we say that the intermediate output of a Chain of Thought is equivalent to that?

Knowing the sum of 2 and 3 as 5 is not the same as calculating the sum of 2 and 3. Knowing that there are 3 Rs in strawberry is not same as counting and determining it. Inference is a form of computation and is not just recall.

Did you know that Python classes are writable at runtime?
We can add functionality (eg: methods) to the class and immediately access it from instances. Here is an example.

Strongly recommend that you watch this video.
This Keynote by DHH is less about Rails and more about how the web application ecosystem must be.

Exactly! There are multiple decentralized architectures and not everything has to be cryptocurrency based.
Bluesky is proof that cryptocurrency isn't a core tenant of decentralization. The team demonstrated extreme levels of pragmatism by leveraging new and existing technologies to produce something people actually use.

I can't believe that the Internet of the 2000s was way better than the Internet of the 2020s.
It was way more open, interactions were more honest, social networks were more about socializing than monetization!
