Heard on the Internet: "Using #openai Sora to produce quality video is like playing a game against a retard and only he knows the rules."

PerplexiPy 1.1.4 released - ciurana.eu/blog/2025/01... - support for the latest Perplexity API models, resolved minor bugs.

Happy birthday, amigo.

Another small earthquake to start the morning.

It took a while... silver, International Speed Skydiving Association World Series, event 7 2024 Go fast! #speedskydiving #gofast #safetythird

Using the PerplexiPy with the @perplexity_ai back-end and the Llama-3.1-70b model rendered these results. Good times.

"Agile is killing software innovation" - Moxie Marlinspike. In a nutshell, so much high-level abstraction and black boxing robs programmers of understanding of how systems work and interact - from #BlackHat2024 and @TheRegister - www.theregister.com/2024/08/09/m...

Borderlands from @Lionsgate is super fun in a what-a-craptastic-film way. Furiosa on Acid. Enjoyed it more than Furiosa, have never played the games - B-movie with a good budget, would love to see the MST3K treatement. So bad it's enjoyable.

PerplexiPy Codex AI playground 1.1.2 released. The Mixtral 8x7B model is restored, faster responses from CLI requests. Get the library and executable from pypi.org/project/Perp... and the Codex AI Playground tutorial here: github.com/CIME-Softwar...

PerplexiPy 1.3.1 with Codex Playground released, keeping up with the latest API models available from @perplexity_ai - Codex supports "human" and "coding" interactions, faster responses - PyPI: pypi.org/project/Perp... and Codex HOWTO: github.com/CIME-Softwar...

#RSAC2024 pen testing. Yesterday I passed through the north entrance with this in my pocket by accident once, and twice thru the south entrance (pocket, laptop backpack) on purpose. It was X-rayed. @RSAsecurity - you know better than security theater. Pointless delays to enter.

Happy Songkran!

Happy Songkram!

sopel_ai - @perplexity_ai plugin for the Sopel IRC bot v1.0.13 is out - pypi.org/project/sope... enables per-user model selection, extends Sopel's infobot capabilities. Concise or in-depth replies. Uses pypi.org/project/Perp... - Discord and Telegram versions coming soon.

This is why I have trust issues when it comes to all AI providers. @perplexity_ai gave this answer. The correct answer is 338 vs 315, so the model's response is correct. The math makes no sense, though. AI has a longer way to go before being actionable than people fear.

PerplexiPy high level package for @perplexity_ai now in PyPI. Simple integration for single message, batches, or streaming interactions - only strings exchange between front and back ends. BSD-3. API docs, instructions, key management at pypi.org/project/perp...

When you tell the generative AI to help you design an economic electric car based on the Citröen 2CV.

Lots of goodies arrived in the mail today - #canadian #panic is a good reason as any. I already owned one (with improved firmware), two friends sent me the others because cool friends are cool - cheers to @KF, thanks to our pals at @flipper_zero.

AI girlfriends are iPhone based, AI-driven sex fantasy tamagotchi for lonely men. According to @Gizmodo and first-hand research, they're a privacy and data harvesting nightmare. The kawaii, anime personas are the creepiest - gizmodo.com/your-ai-girl...

More Sunday fun - #rustlang #datascience to figure out integration with Lucyfer. Polars started this itch.

Nerding out Sunday. Complete 1BRC in (g)awk.

The Vision Pro tear down by @iFixIt - www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVJP... - Impressive technology.

Analysts find that Generative AI may benefit banking with up to $340b in new value. Improvements will come from productivity gains and application to new business models. Via @McKinsey

This week's film: Poor Things. The whimsy of Amélie, the thrills of Frankenstein, and unrivaled stunning visuals. Emma Stone's performance is fantastic. Overall 8.5/10.
