Obsidian uses local files, so all your standard terminal commands work for editing/moving/searching/etc Obsidian CLI adds everything else: - interacting with the UI - internal functions e.g. base queries, orphans, etc - devtools, console, screenshots, eval, etc See the CLI docs!

Hell yeah I'm slowly & surely just living in the command line. Soon enough, it'll be like GUIs never existed on my computer

My impression, not based on trying this myself, is that finetuning on good stuff and then using some smart planning/structuring of prompts should get you most of the way there. I'm not sure who, if anyone, has made a serious attempt at this?

So far “telling a satisfying and well-written medium-length story” has proved far harder for LLMs than mathematical proofs, music generation, research reports, code, and many other forms of work. The technical reasons are pretty clear, but they are supposed to be language models

As a person with a liberal arts education, I’m egotistically biased to strong agree with this. But legit my whole day is just doing tons of critical thinking, meta thinking, and design thinking - the kind I learned in my crunchy lib arts school - in order to decide what to prompt the bots to make

Hello #NLProc #ACL2026NLP community, I'm looking for an emergency reviewer for an ARR submission on LLM interpretability. If you're available to complete a review before Feb 15, please reply or DM 🙏

Hello #NLProc #ACL2026NLP people. I am looking for **two emergency reviewers** in the Safety and Alignment in LLMs track for ACL/ARR. Reviews are due Feb 15th. Please DM if interested and available. Happy to offer drinks/food if you live in/pass by Lisbon ☀️

Basically just a sign this is proxying a bazillion other things imho. Like extreme behavior relative to the norm is a signal of things going wrong in some way

Check out our new paper on the demographic foundations of trust in science in @poqjournal.bsky.social The tldr is that w/ all of the radical shifts in trust in the US over the last 50+ years, the demographic predictors of trust in science have been rock steady(!) academic.oup.com/poq/advance-...

Introducing Oz: the platform to orchestrate agents in the cloud. Spin up hundreds of agents from your terminal, browser, the API, or your phone. Each agent gets a Docker environment to build, test, and write PRs. Here's the blog post to learn more about how it works 👇 warp.dev/blog/oz-orch...

I could use an emergency reviewer for an ACL submission involving interpretability and syntax. Please DM me if you might be able to provide an emergency review before February 15!

I am looking for 2 emergency reviewers for the ARR Ethics, Bias & Fairness track. Please DM me if you are available 🙏

Ppl have been sharing an HBR summary of a paper on AI leading to burnout. The original paper was more nuanced. Female engineers were punished more for using AI than male engineers, with lower code review ratings. meaning that AI use is a stigma for women, not for men papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I wrote about how I don’t know math but still am somehow a successful computer scientist. I have strong feelings about this. But I also want to understand. togelius.blogspot.com/2026/02/math...

Friends with a new, renewed, or amplified interest in the Spanish language and Latin America, consider checking out the work your colleagues/neighbors in departments of Spanish/Romance Languages/Modern Languages/etc--they're likely in the corner of an old campus building 1/

Am I the only one out here using Warp with Claude? I'd love to hear experiences from others and if you've switched away (to Claude Code or another interface), why you switched. My current take is that I love Warp (both the terminal and the AI coding experience) but it's expensive!

Recent publications arguing against the use of genAI in reflexive qual research inspired us (Elida Ibrahim and @andreavoyer.bsky.social) to write our own perspective. Not to convince anyone to use genAI but for those who might be interested and are looking for guidance. osf.io/preprints/so...

I also pay for Kagi and as Paul, I derive an ton of value from it My favorite feature is the ability to demote (and even ban) certain URLs in search results It’s a powerful way to filter out slop of all kinds

help we built a client and now it is being used to bully us

@mariaa.bsky.social and I have been building a custom client that we'd like to make public in the near-term BUT we want to make sure we've gotten the security right. Anyone with some expertise open to helping us out a bit?

and now all 10 of our users can go to town on each others posts

Opus 4.6 saturates my Lem test, which I've done since GPT-3.5 SciFi author Stanislaw Lem wrote of two rival constructors of robots. One creates a robotic poet & the other challenges it to write an impossible poem, it does Opus does it as a 6 line poem, sonnet, & 🤯 a sestina. I am pretty impressed

And how many missed opportunities because women are (rightly) warned away from certain prestigious people and places. I can say from my own career and observations of friends’ careers that this happens frequently but is rarely discussed.

PhD admissions visits/open houses are starting to happen, and I got a comment on an old Reddit post where I was offering advice, and realized that it's actually really good advice. So here it is! (And this applies whether you've already been admitted to the program or not.) 🧵

From the Wiki page of this Yale CS prof: He "has spoken out against women in the workforce, saying working mothers were harming their children & should stay at home." He "condemned 'belligerent leftists' & blamed intellectualism for the disintegration of patriotism & traditional family values."

"This how men behave." NO IT IS NOT. Not once in my career have I offered a description of someone's appearance, nor I have I ever been asked. WTF. This dude should not be teaching. And we ask ourselves why women fall out of fields like CS, as if it is a mystery with guys like this out there

For absolutely no reason, let me remind people of this banger of a paper by @caroartc.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

Finding #3: Respondents were more comfortable with the use of race than with widely-proposed alternatives like zipcode or income. Said one respondent: "What does my paycheck have to do with a genetic mutation?" Don't assume switching to these factors will automatically improve trust.

Wow I love this.

New paper on Why Slop Matters w/ great group of co authors (@hoytlong.bsky.social @eduede.bsky.social @ari-holtzman.bsky.social + others not on Bluesky) from ACM AI Letters. We try to move the debate re: AI Slop past normative, neg claims & towards parsing its social uses. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Deepfake pornography isn’t going away just because we are passing laws and taking down a couple of big websites. Our new pre-print, led by @aedcv.bsky.social suggests that the sharing of this material continued to prosper even after platform and policy shocks. arxiv.org/abs/2602.02754

Interested in #Moltbook? Social scientists have been studying whether LLMs can simulate entire social media platforms for some time. 2.5 years ago we published the paper below, and there have been dozens of studies since then which I reviewed last year in this piece: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Doo do doo

We find: 1️⃣ Stories in mid- and low- resource langs have more misreps 2️⃣ Stories from tier-2 and 3 regions had more factual and cultural misreps 3️⃣ Most misreps are about social norms, practices, & food Lots of other analysis in paper! Clear avenues of improvement! 6/10

🎭 How do LLMs (mis)represent culture? 🧮 How often? 🧠 Misrepresentations = missing knowledge? spoiler: NO! At #CHI2026 we are bringing ✨TALES✨ a participatory evaluation of cultural (mis)reps & knowledge in multilingual LLM-stories for India 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2511.21322 1/10

If you're reading about Epstein and his friends today, could you also take time to read this document? I guarantee that someone at your university right now is a sexual harasser and/or abuser. Maybe you could stop them.
