Blogs should be written to be read and not just for SEO slop. RSS feed helps a lot with that.

I think this is different than the press release.

Ironically just told the founder of my company that it was mission critical our blog had RSS. He had never used it before somehow and didn't know why it would be a big deal lol.

Why is there nowhere on the site where I can figure out how much I would get paid by adding my GPU to the network?

To me, Western ideals are things like freedom of speech, democracy, and individual rights.

I hear you though.

I should! It sounds like it would be an amazing and eye opening experience.

>Deliver growth, maintain order, forget the voting. It's spreading.

I think it's mostly this that makes me uncomfortable. I value Western ideals and am hopeful that they continue to spread.

Sounds good, but reads surface level to me.

I'd be interested to see something with more detail and citations. Or maybe even a rebuttal piece.

No, it's just slow and less accurate. Wrong tool for the job when you care a lot about understanding the reasoning and internals of what the model is caring the most about.

Most definitely! LLMs are amazing tools for generating synthetic datasets that can be used alongside traditional NLP to train things like decision trees with libraries like cat/xgboost.

I have a search background so learning to rank is always top of mind for me, but there other places like sentiment analysis, intent detection, and topic classification where it's great too.

SpaCy is criminally underrated. I expect to see it experience a new wave of growth as folks new to AI start to realize all of the language tooling they need to build more reliable "traditional" ML pipelines.

API surface is designed well and it's still actively maintained almost 10 years after it initially went public.

I'm going to phrase the explanation like this in the future. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm excited to see Chroma be fully available! They're already differentiated from Turbopuffer/S3-vector with regex support and I think they will only get more so with sparse vector support and some kind of API surface which enables LTR.

bearblog has gotten way more usage than i ever would have expected

Louis Rossmann and everyone he works with are all doing amazing work on this. I'm incredibly grateful that they are fighting the good fight.

I use the openrouter chat UI more often than any other, because I really enjoy getting the chorus of LLMs to respond to my queries instead of a single one.

First, it's confidence inspiring when they all agree. Second, when they don't, it's useful to see the wide variety of opinions.

Fun idea. I like how plain the website is.

Actually less than I would have guessed

Oh hell yeah, I see it now. You have a new daily active user in me.

It would be awesome if there were a microphone button so I could record on the site instead of having to upload an audio file.

No self hosting guide in the README :(

I think of simplicity as the ease of reading and writing and less so parsing. Sure there are many ways to parse markdown, but regardless of which one you choose it's easy to engage with.

I feel like this article was written by a clanker

Not only is Ryan good, but he has brought on additional staff who are equally good. Incredibly impressive creator and team.

autoplay my fault and will fix

dark mode idk, that is a very tiny piece of JS which should run near instantaneously

yes, i was very annoyed

Let me ammend my statement. *"Anyone who succeeds at publishing research deserves to be in a postgrad program."

Plenty of people in postgrad programs don't know the foundations. It's ok. You are there to learn.

Completely unfair to expect someone already doing research to slog out 4yrs of classes not furthering their career.

Working on that skill and ability is the entire point of postgrad. If those are the skills you're working on then you should be in a postgrad program.

exactly

If you do research during your 4 year undergrad. You shouldn't have been undergrad. It's really that simple.
