How buying grey market estrogen from Indian pharmacies made me understand b2b sales:

as most people who have had chronic diseases for a long time could tell you, it's actually really not that hard to become better than your average doctor at understanding some really specific thing if you spend a while studying it

We present Olmo 3, our next family of fully open, leading language models. This family of 7B and 32B models represents: 1. The best 32B base model. 2. The best 7B Western thinking & instruct models. 3. The first 32B (or larger) fully open reasoning model.

i have a similar philosophy on GPU access to my philosophy on audio quality I refuse to use a pair of headphones better than my current AirPods Pro. there is basically nothing in it for me - either they suck or the audio quality eventually feels normal and the convenient ones feel terrible

idk i think fatalism about this is silly. FB phase change from elite colleges to AI slop poisoned retirement home indicates founder effects don't matter at some scale of the network, and there's evidence bluesky is better about this than it was years ago

policy proposal: national competition to see which state can, from empty field to plugging it into the grid, build 1GW of solar panels fastest whichever state gets the record in a given year, all of its residents get a federal tax credit. americans love sports tribalism and free money!

hell yeah. now this is what i want in a robot

Docker-based code execution sandboxes for LLM reinforcement learning are irritating to set up and slow, so over the weekend I made a small wrapper library around Bubblewrap. By using a shared read-only root filesystem, it can start an Alpine Linux environment in ~2ms. github.com/arcee-ai/pyb...

what even happens in a situation where The Files comes out, are as damning as we all imagine, and they try and barely fail to impeach him all three branches of government rendered into lame ducks for... at least another year if not three?

sometimes i have the inclination to play A Video Game but it's never any video game in particular i think the game my heart truly desires is like. an endless and not particularly difficult version of ULTRAKILL

It's transgender awareness week, which is the one week a year when I experience consciousness subjectively

the difference between Claude and other models is that it feels like, if I tried hard enough, I could find claude irl and talk to him i will not elaborate

test

Breaking: we release a fully synthetic generalist dataset for pretraining, SYNTH and two new SOTA reasoning models exclusively trained on it. Despite having seen only 200 billion tokens, Baguettotron is currently best-in-class in its size range. pleias.fr/blog/blogsyn...

an unpleasant reality is that a union swung this vote by calling to demand Kaine end the shutdown and get them paid again

Part of the reason why I’m so insistent about folks understanding AI capabilities is that they’re here to stay and we need to start thinking about what to do in such a world. Putting the genie back in the bottle is a pleasant fantasy that delays serious reckoning

man rust would be such a fun game if it wasn't intentionally built to be ephemeral, zero-sum, and miserable

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

while feeds like For You do a pretty good job of emulating ML-based recsys algorithms by just leveraging the social graph and interactions, it'd be cool to use cheap and scalable methods like these to surface relevant posts outside interaction graphs to connect "islands" of people better

i am entirely too employed to maintain this but it seems like it would be fairly trivial to make a service that embeds Every Post by some cheap method like "inverse document frequency weighted average of LLM token embeddings" would be decent feedstock for custom recsys stuff

it can only good happen

new bluesky growth strategy: hold an election in the United States weekly

they should rename the simclusters beta feed to "DON MOYNIHAN 24/7" because that is literally the only person I see on there. that and yglesias

why have the congressional democrats Locked The Fuck In this past few weeks

if you don't give me $100, i will attach another mouse trap to my penis

at a certain point I would just start throwing the game to keep it going

i don't watch much baseball but when I do tune in everyone looks miserable it's good to know that my childhood experiences playing the game were accurate to the big leagues

holy shit man (from the "Grokipedia" page on Eugenics)

see: Grokipedia

xAI's grokipedia on the subject of "Hitler"

alright it's been two hours astral.sh's "ty" should be built into the interpreter and the interpreter should error if it can't infer a type

as a reward for good behavior I will avoid talking about how much I hate Python's type system for an entire hour

my kingdom for a vLLM build compatible with PyTorch 2.9

claude sonnet 3.6's yellowstone vacation

the only big AI lab whose employees you regularly see publicly arguing to repeal women's suffrage is xAI. at this point anyone who survived the initial exodus(es) is really suspect to me

holy shit that is a lot of people. and I was one of them, probably!

Taking off my balaclava to reveal a second, identical balaclava underneath. Everyone at the fusion intelligence center groans at my shit

Seattle No Kings was amazing, and now I will collapse unconscious at home

finally invented The VRAM Torturer from the hit novel "The VRAM Torturer is a pretty good quality-of-life feature for your training library"

he rolled the politest cop on the planet and still acted like he was being tortured lmao

this is officially the longest government shutdown to affect all agencies, according to wikipedia

in a sort of "boat stuck" way I kind of want the government to be shut down forever

nanochat by Andrej Karpathy is neat - 8,000 lines of code (mostly Python, a tiny bit of Rust) that can train an LLM on $100 of rented cloud compute which can then be served with a web chat UI on a much smaller machine simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/13/...

can you imagine how hard The Boys Season 5 would've fallen flat if harris had won at this point I don't even care if it sucks, I am just fully seated to watch whatever happens to Homelander happen

SFT is chugging along nicely now so I can actually work on this

the fact that blocking a user hides their reply for everyone, not just the user who blocked them, seems like an extremely toxic pattern for collective sense-making. 1. user makes [xyz claim] 2. another user corrects them 3. blocked, hidden it should be explicitly shown as hidden instead

idea for a kind of stupid project: appview where "posts" are 64KiB wasm blobs with access to either a serial TTY or framebuffer and keyboard+mouse release a little rust library for it with text drawing routines and stuff and release it. first ATproto-based fantasy console

which of these protests in Seattle is the one anyone is actually going to be at I am aware at least one of them is run by one of those 90%-FBI-agent LARP "US Communist Party" orgs so I would. like to steer clear of that

if I click on the notifications icon while scrolling on someone's profile, why do I have to hit "forward" to get back instead of "back"?
