I was on a flight without internet back from HKG on Saturday. After we landed, the woman next to me 'they shot another person in Minneapolis'. My heart sank... These horrific events prompted me to post my thoughts as a Canadian in the US right now. ericmigi.com/blog/on-bein...

Would you prefer phone calls and emails instead of instant messaging for communication with friends? I think there's certainly something about mail that was lost with IM. The friction of being unable to edit or delete what you've written makes you more present and think more when composing

Game engines are O(n) in scene complexity. Diffusion models are O(1), so the same cost whether you’re rendering an empty room or a million polygons. What if you made the engine differentiable and optimized the diffusion model against it directly, rather than sampled frames? Has anyone tried it?

I recommend reading The Math of Why You Can't Focus at Work.  Excellent visualization about how we lose valuable focus time because of interruptions and what we can do about it.  justoffbyone.com/posts/math-o...

The perfect Claude Code machine acquired

My latest PR to pebble-tool adds the ability to press emulator buttons via CLI, so now Claude Code can build complex apps and navigate PebbleOS fully autonomously! @repebble.com @rebble.io @ericmigi.com

lmao jfc

@ericmigi.com Congrats on the launch! I was wondering why you guys ditched the speaker in the new Round? This is a dealbreaker for me :(

Here's to the crazy ones.

Releasing Wrist & Biases for @repebble.com. Now fellow ML engineers and researchers can obsess over eval/loss right from their wrist. apps.repebble.com/en_US/applic...

ignore the title about caching, this is the best explanation of how LLMs work, period

As sexy as toolbars get

It turns out that if you add Recents to your dock, the icon hasn’t been updated for over a decade

That's what I call a "base" model (of 2025). Models pre-trained on data post-2022 are magically aligning themselves

Someone is training neural nets on their new Pebble 2 Duo, of course... github.com/breitburg/pe...

Designed a fun thing :)

Should I be seeing this? lol

Claude 4 claims to have subjective experiences

Claude 4 is (not) conscious

I tried switching from Claude to open-source LLMs for 10 days. It's really disappointing. On benchmarks they're great, but in most practical tasks the alignment is really not there.

www.flickr.com/people/insec... Very inspirational

I estimated the token consumption for my Claude usage within the last month to figure out what the API cost would look like: 251 chats in April Total output: 7,704,378 symbols ≈ 1,926,094 tokens Total input: 66,016,919 symbols ≈ 16,504,229 tokens So is $20/month for AI worth it?

I've long searched for a decent LLM-agnostic chat app. @raycast.com is excellent, but is proprietary. Open WebUI comes really close, but doesn't feel native and lacks a mobile app. Yesterday I got fed up with that, so I recreated ChatGPT desktop app but without vendor lock-in.

Not wrong

Gotta prepare for iOS 19 in advance

Vibe coding killed hackathons

27 June 2024 was fun

Superset releases a new research Al model — ConNER It’s lightweight transformer-based model (4.3 million parameters), designed to highlight academic concepts within any given text. It has been trained on students' class notes & synthetic data. Full article & resources: superset.be/news/2024-11...

I'm launching a new website: sdk.blue - a list of all libraries/SDKs for building things on #ATProto, grouped by language 🙂 If I forgot anything important, or you have an ATProto/Bluesky library that you think would be a good fit there (or if I should remove anything), please send me a PR :) #atdev

Teenage Engineering Music Player, anyone?

What do you hate most about the #Bluesky app?

Second prototype of an open-source Humane Ai Pin/Rabbit R1 alternative I’m building. This thing lasts 1 to 3 weeks on a single charge depending on usage. Inference speed feels pretty good already! Any creative form-factor suggestions? (other than the pin) #buildinpublic #ai

Sharing another unshipped prototype of an app. During my first exam period at university I made a simple chat with my study materials. It was just RAG, but the animations were fun #designsky #uxsky #ui #buildinpublic

Was your social experience in university any different from your high school social experience? If yes, how exactly? I’m trying to figure out something

In early 2023, my friends and I were building a university class timetable app with social features. It never shipped, so I'm dumping the prototypes. I still think it looks very fun and enjoyable, like the idea of 'autographs' instead of avatars. What do you think? #designsky #buildinpublic #uiux

Inside Elon Musk’s messy breakup with OpenAI

That’s somehow beautiful

Since Gen Z made dumb-phones popular again, I’ve built a Claude client for a Nokia. I use it every day now, it’s a great destruction free experience, just like Rabbit R1 or Humane Ai Pin. Planning to add features like access to calendar, phone, texting, etc. What would you add? #ai

What’s the oldest tech you use daily?

Now that "scale is all we need" has predictably faltered... 1. Small AI models often perform better in context. 2. Obsession w bigness has bad consequences, from climate, to power concentration, to research capture. Me + @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social @sashamtl.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2409.14160
