Something I generally dislike in video games is secondary game mechanics. I bought the new DOOM b/c I enjoyed the 2016 reboot. I spend like 25% of the game flying dragons & operating mechwarior robot things. The main FPS feels great, but then flying the dragon feels like an amature IOS game :(

Was working on a codebase connected to an llm. I was getting some 400 malformed input, and in the try/catch I just told the llm to fix the input and try again. I AM NOT DOING THIS FOR FOR REAL, but it did work and made me think about LLMs potential role reactive exception handling.

Every time a politician begins answering a question with "Look, ..." You just KNOW it's going to be complete BS and not address the question.

I actually don't know what vibe coding is 🤷‍♂️

That makes sense. For technical documentation, I'm finding it very, very useful. I pretty much write entire documents/proposals in point form and then ask LLMs to word it. (Note: it's very important to proofread the outcome)

HotTake: A country is not the same as a private business, and running a country like a private business is not a great idea.

What Canada needs to do is finish the pipelines to the oceans. My understanding is Canada's oil is landlocked and piped to the US for an insane discount. That has more or less worked because of mutually benificancial alliances. But turns we are no longer appreciated, so I say sell the oil to China.

Emerging Patterns in Building GenAI Products Patterns from our colleagues

NEW POST

My colleague Bharani Subramaniam has started to write patterns from our recent work building production Gen AI applications. We begin with Evals - ways of assessing if they are working effectively.

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek massively undercuts OpenAI on pricing — and that's spooking tech stocks DeepSeek challenges OpenAI with drastically cheaper models, prompting discussions on the viability of proprietary versus open-source AI efforts.

If you are building an agent powered by DeepSeek the cost of tokens is 20-40x cheaper than OpenAI. Once again, compute becomes commodity & value is pushed up to the application layer.

The Illustrated DeepSeek-R1

Spent the weekend reading the paper and sorting through the intuitions. Here's a visual guide and the main intuitions to understand the model and the process that created it.

I did a full grocery shop today. Every product was #Canadian expect Frank's Red Hot sauce. Unfortunately, I can't find a CAN equivalent.

There will always be a current crisis.

YouTube video by Rotten Tomatoes Trailers Love & Mercy Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Brian Wilson Biopic HD

As a general rule, I don't love bio-pics, but I very much enjoyed `Love and Mercy`. It's the story of Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys! youtu.be/lioWzrpCtGQ?...

Love that a lab with a fraction of the GPU power, budget and staff of the big American AI whales has dethroned them and then open sourced their trained model and documented all their secret sauces.

Without any of the bullshit of “we can’t open it, it would become sentient and turn against us”

`Deep Seek - R1` beats OpenAI's best model and is MIT licensed (meaning: do whatever you want with it). github.com/deepseek-ai/...

I recommend focusing on things you can control. It's much better for your mental health ;)

Whenever I see a band consisting of all dudes and a hot girl on vocals, I'm instantly critical. I don't think it's completely fair, nor do I think it can't work, but that is my initial reaction 🤷‍♂️

*Threads - I want NO integration with FB/IG

IG - use it, but I want a news source
FB - dead, but I'll be there until all my family leave (events are useful)
Tiktok - fun to consume
X - seriously fucked
Threads - it's sorta working honestly, but I want integration with FB/IG
Mastodon - requires a college diploma to operate
BlueSky - maybe?

I feel social media homeless. Maybe I'll camp here for a bit.
