I accidentally launched a podcast search app on Product Hunt this morning

it's currently closing in on #9: www.producthunt.com/posts/vol-2

why accidental?

after hitting publish I wanted to polish the svelte app a bit more, but couldn't cancel so yeeted it into the future

then forgot about it...

I think most of my bsky network is either 'ML researcher' or 'AI sceptic'.

If you're in the latter group you're going to violently disagree with this: mbanerjeepalmer.substack.com/p/should-pro...

Gmail bizarre spam filtering reaches new level as it filters out Google's own culture newsletter

Mightily tempted to build 'study LLM behaviours as a service'.

So many of these scientific papers are literally just evals.

1. We wrote a set of questions
2. We assigned scores to types of responses
3. We asked the questions to a set of LLMs and scored the answers
4. Journal article

2/2 I think Rich's attitude towards LLMs contrasts with the attitude that first got me into Svelte.

LLMs open up programming. The 'robot holding your hand' is a *good* thing for new coders.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think a positive direction is possible here.

Shout out to @logfire.pydantic.dev for being surprisingly helpful.

Certainly lots of rough edges. But compared to other platforms, which seem to be built for an o11y in-group, Logfire says "read the docs? lol we know you cba, copy-paste this instead"

The best docs are by @pydantic.dev

1. To me IPO counts look relatively flat, apart from a spike in the dot com bubble.
2. The data cuts off six years ago. So it cuts off the enormous spike.
3. Companies staying private longer is an important drag.

(Only skimmed the paper, maybe I missed something that explains this.)

A fun thing about using LMArena as a daily driver is you get to see *just what an absolute lemon* Llama 4 was on a regular basis.

(And yes, it was, inevitably, CORS.)

IMO this diagram, 'Musk barely follows anyone left wing' would have been sufficient.

If NYT needs to pad it out then make your audience smarter by pointing out the limitations, instead of making them seem clueless overdrawing conclusions.
