node fetch is WAY better than axios (easier to use/understand, simpler); didn't really know people were still using axios

the project isn't AI at all, but the writeup is definitely AI. It overuses clickbait / hijacking / hook patterns that makes it really jarring: - poses a lot of questions: "Me? I turned mine into a server that saves me mo

Having just moved to the Bay Area, I've met a few AI "safety researchers" who seems to come from this EA / Rationalist camp, and they all behave more like preachers than thinkers / academics / researchers. I do

I'm curious if chunking is different for embeddings vs. for "agentic retrieval" e.g. an AI or a person operates like a Librarian; they look up in an index at what resources to look up, get the relevant bits, then piece them t

They have some singing in their demo! So I’m guessing that’s baked into the model

updating benchmarks and evals is something closer to test engineering / qa engineering work though

Everyone's young in some way. I've been looking at getting a Miata, and have been eyeing a nice 2016ish Miata because their prices seem so much lower. Then I read a post from someone saying their transmissions are "like glass

Considering the long list of awful pharma, insurance, and marketing firms in the world out there, Regeneron is probably one of the better outcomes

Yes please! Even if we have to add the tailwind as a CDN, this would be useful — as we don't have to use npm / yarn to build the project anymore. (I like building pure html files in alpine)

I’ve been toying with building remote MCPs on Cloudflare workers. I came in with the idea that “you could probably use REST APIs for everything” then implemented both REST, and MCPs side by side. Also built an SSE and a “streamable http” ve

ever since I paid $8 for jumping in and out of a BART station b/c I meant to go into a Muni station... I lost all respect for them.
