For what it's worth, I did check over many hundreds of them. Formatted things for side by side comparison and ordered by some heuristics of data nastiness. It wasn't a one shot deal at all. I found the ambiguous modalities in the

100% agree. I had Gemini flash 2 chew through thousands of points of nasty unstructured client data and it did a 'better than human intern' level conversion into clean structured output for about $30 of API usage. I am sold. 2.5

I'd consider drinking raw milk only if I was on a first name basis with the cow that produced it. Otherwise I would at least demand it be fermented into kefir so the food microbes can muscle out the bad.

I'll buy an expensive hat and eat it, though, if the chans aren't already crawling with sinister propagand-anon-automatons playing tug of war with the Overton window of edgelord discourse.

So now it just sounds like my favorite imported soy sauce will be more expensive. Can't wait for the Pittsburgh soy sauce brewery industry to be onshored again!

It's funny. I view it as a common modality of fraud among the 'cufflinked bozo with a sharp haircut' founder crowd. That is, they probably could have actually pulled off their business plan if they had any ability beyond bei

Borgmon readability was my... least favorite readability. Is 'monarch' still a thing? It was newish around the time that I left.

Davinci Resolve is a lifetime license for an extremely powerful video production platform. It's a great value even at a serious-hobbyist level.

I don't know.. I've maintained skepticism, but recently AI has enabled solutions for client problems that would have been intractable with conventional coding. A team was migrating a years old excel based workflow where no less th

Or, more likely: "the wicked and deceptive establishment have yet again managed to sabotage the brilliant and noble efforts of America's best ever leader. The only way America can be saved now is to suppress these treacherous anti

Why aren't we training llms to load the data into R/pandas/polars/duckdb and then interrogate it iteratively that way? It's how I do it. Why not our pet llm?

I had a lucky experience taking HS calculus the semester before as physics. I saw other students torturing themselves memorizing the formulae from the physics text and even then struggling to apply it to novel problems. For the most part, k

I'm not convinced that this is more than the market having a jump-scare at an incremental leap in model building technique. Say DeepSeek has worked out how to do more with less - that's great! I don't think it means that the

I feel like diffusion algorithms are going to make headway into the procedural generation space soon. With WFC you can have your rules for how a city is credibly composed of certain tile selections at some scales. But I'm imagining a f

One thing I was waiting for the article to mention is that basic has a REPL. I started on Atari basic in the 80s and having a REPL, even though I didn't know to call it that, was revelatory. Writing a line of code or a little for loop

Not discounting larger cultural forces and momentum at play, but I have to wonder how big a role inflated healthcare costs play in parents' level of protectiveness over their young children. Even adjusted for inflation, a visit to the

This is cool! A long time ago I wanted to make something a little like this for my 20% project at Google/YouTube - a page that rained thumbnails of uploaded videos as soon as they became available. Unfortunately, the idea was nixed sin

I regularly use duckdb on datasets of 1B+ rows, with nasty strong columns that may be over 10MB per value in the outliers. Mostly it just works, and fast too! When it doesn't, I'll usually just dump to parquet and hit it with spar

I did non trivial work with apache spark dataframes and came to appreciate them before ever being exposed to Pandas. After spark, pandas just seemed frustrating and incomprehensible. Polars is much more like spark and I am very happy about

I had just been playing the splendid voxel game teardown recently, and noticed on reading this headline that characters in the game are named after Amanatides and Woo! What a fun Easter egg.

This looks pretty good! Results of roughly this caliber are already really common with local, and freely usable tools and models though. Picking one randomly: https://github.com/jtscmw01/ComfyUI-DiffBIR The Reddit Sta

I'm a big fan of the film grain modelling in HEVC over h264 at almost any bit rate. It just makes everything look way less 'compressed' to me.

I'm reminded fondly of the opening chapter to QNTM's Fine Structure, which sets up the story with a similarly baffling (yet self consistent, in my opinion) but wildly evocative narration of a blazing dogfight across a multiverse o

I've found the Unicode cat emoji to be an effective delimiter to avoid escaping more common chars in my cat-separated-value artifacts. Of course the cat emoji is escaped by the puppy emoji if it occurs in a value. The puppy emoji escap
