Dan Davies had the definitive Citrini response btw. Possibly one or two days before Citrini.

It's likely driven by fear. It's understandable and probably fair to be scared, but not to hate on anyone and anything related to AI.
Best of luck at OpenAI!

A breakthrough for tabular ML: better prediction and faster runtime than alternatives, work by Jingang Qu, David Holzmüller @dholzmueller.bsky.social , Marine Le Morvan, and myself 👇
Lots of insightful observations in this post.
An important one is that IDEs need to change dramatically, given that we'll spend most of the time reviewing AI-written code.
Who knows, they might have discovered XGBoost
It took me weeks, but finally it's there: an overlong blogpost on synthetic pretraining. vintagedata.org/blog/posts/s...
This is one of the sharpest analyses of international affairs that I've heard from a Canadian leader - or any national leader - in a long time. And I suspect he wrote the main bits himself. paulwells.substack.com/p/the-carney...
Thanks for sharing! I'm curious to understand why or when you prefer Streamlit over a BI system.
Highly interesting podcast on robust causal inference. Richard Hahn is an expert and a great communicator!
ignore the title about caching, this is the best explanation of how LLMs work, period
Super interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing!
so pumped for the ty beta to finally be here, we did so much great work it rules! astral.sh/blog/ty
Thanks for your great work on FastAPI, Sebastián. It's a joy to use!

What is the benefit of the git integration? In case you don't know it, @joplinapp.bsky.social is solid. I've been happily using it for over a year.
But it doesn't have git.

A selection of illustrations and commissions including an album cover design of a vintage radio, a book cover design with an illustration of George Harrison, architecture illustrations, a Listening Party turntable design, a music pattern design and a photo of me wearing glasses.
If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.
It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.
Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk
Gorgeous designs! I'm looking forward to receiving my record player print.
Thanks @threepeacesweet.bsky.social for sharing!
Our didactic review on machine learning for causal inference, now open access:
• identifiability (theory of when the data can answer a causal question)
• machine-learning estimators
• study design (asking well-framed questions + loopholes, eg with timewise data)

Could you share the source? I didn't see any announcements on their blog

Deep Agents
this is a great 10 min video that’s absolutely worth your time
Deep Agent = planning tool (TODO lists) + subagents + filesystem + long detailed system prompt
seems like a deconstruction of why Claude Code works so well

Recommended watch. Although the war is not as often in the news any more, help is as important as ever. And we can all have a direct impact on defending democracy.
You won 🏆
So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts has just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet two years ago where I said "90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up 1000x". And this is exactly what I'm talking about - having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now compared to knowing where to put the amperands and the stars and the brackets in Rust. — Kent Beck, interview with Gergely Orosz
I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important

I recently bought a deal of 1 year of Perplexity Pro for $2. I doubt they would offer it if things were fine... we'll see.
