Ah I love an open source e ink project. TRMNL and their whole approach is great https://youtu.be/eIcZZX10pa4?si=az6S7L2LDLGjWrMq

ORTBO is an anagram of ROBOT #severance

Looking like it’s going to be Liverpool in the final. Our H2Hs against them are poor, but we are one of the few teams to take points from them this season. I genuinely think we can beat any side in Europe on our day. Challenge will be bottling up that St. James’ Park atmosphere for Wembley. #NUFC

Great to see SMRs making headway

Bold statement, but clearly impressive!

Mad efficiency saving if true. I wonder what the bottleneck in the vendor’s approach was? Presumably they were doing some kind of traditional ML OCR.

Loving these design changes 👌🏻 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFqhTkpTpT7/?igsh=MTJ2Y3BoZ2gwMnI3

he dumb?

Mistral just dropped Mistral Small, a 24B model that matches Llama 3 70B Instruct but runs 3x faster. Another big push towards efficiency over raw scale. Details: https://mistral.ai/news/mistral-small-3/

Alexander was the people’s winner

Reflecting on last night’s win and our recent run of results, Newcastle have to one of the most in form teams across Europe right now.

Interesting. Been contemplating a switch to a photo sharing app that gets back to photos and a chronological feed.

This week’s Sampled: From Perfect Days to protest embroidery, it’s all about finding meaning in the details https://onthemanifold.substack.com/p/sampled-6

A new year and a return to regular editions of Sampled, my weekly collection of recommendations. https://open.substack.com/pub/onthemanifold/p/sampled-5

Merry Christmas 🎄

This week's recommendations range from the role of sound, the life of Mondrian, and things to keep your skeptical eye on regarding the recent o3 model announcement. https://open.substack.com/pub/onthemanifold/p/sampled-4

Both Manchester sides look devoid of a playing style.

From metrics and maps to medical breakthroughs, this week’s Sampled explores how technology shapes what we see—and what we miss https://onthemanifold.substack.com/p/sampled-3

@profwoodward.bsky.social thought your segment on BBC on Google’s quantum announcement was terrific 👏🏻 just watched it back on YouTube

This week was a blur of past and future: Murakami’s magical realism, Postrel’s lost optimism for tomorrow, Morozov’s call for AI that sparks creativity, and Kimmerer’s gift economy reframing resources—all grounding reads against AI’s relentlessness. onthemanifold.substack.com/p/sampled-2

Great to see Pydantic working on an Agent framework; looks pretty intuitive https://ai.pydantic.dev

Really cool DB of what everyone’s using for LLMOps.

I’ve taken the leap and started curating my favourite reads and links on my Substack! This week’s edition of Sampled covers a mix of topics, from Alibaba’s intriguing QwQ model to the elegance of cleverly designed Dutch intersections. open.substack.com/pub/ontheman...

All this clever tech and my phone still doesn’t know to silence the highlights notification when my team lose.

An interesting push towards standards in this space. I’m here for it! www.anthropic.com/news/model-c...

Perhaps we shouldn’t characterise this as any more than intrigue, but I do love the way objects can transport us to different moments in time and space, sometimes ones we never even experienced mainichi.jp/english/arti...

A very handy copy and paste prompting trick for your LLM session that just got too long, or that you just want to try with another model: “I want to ask another LLM to do everything I’ve already asked you do to so far in this chat session. Can you provide me with a suitable prompt?”
