My favourite iOS apps: 1. Things 3 A beautiful task manager for iOS and Mac. Truly a pleasure to use. @culturedcode apps.apple.com/gb/app/things-…

For AI applications - if you can nail Automated Evaluation of what good looks like, combined with some Durable Execution (which supports streaming/steps/retries/complex flows) - then you’re a lot further on than most!

We’re here at #TheAISummit at stand 3-2-1 in the South Expo Hall. We solve difficult problems through great software engineering and design. @parallax Come say hello 👋

Better add this to the fucking list

We got GMail (full interface) working in @ladybirdbrowser, let's fricken gooooooo! 🚀 This one is nice because I've been told by many people "you'll never be able to handle modern web apps like GMail" Don't listen to armchair defeatists. We can build whatever we want! 🤓

Getting your head around sampling (and constrained sampling - like used for Structured Outputs) is a good area to get stuck into.

Some interesting advantages to having greater insight into underlying probabilities is knowing when it might be wrong, debugging models issues, and for learning purposes.

- Quantized it so it doesn't crash my M3 Mac. - Started a llama.cpp server, and use the raw (non-OpenAI-compatible) API to delve into the underlying logprob data. - Built a basic UI on top of this to start exploring.

Another weekend project, I've built another visualisation. Commercial LLMs often don't expose their logits/logprobs. This is the chance that the next token/word appears. What I've done: - Pulled Llama3.3 locally from HuggingFace, converted it to GGUF for llama.cpp.

Collection of insane and fun facts about SQLite. Let's go! SQLite is the most deployed and most used database. There are over one trillion (1000000000000 or a million million) SQLite databases in active use. It is maintained by three people. They don't allow outside contributions.

@jesse_altman @GoodReddit Things like copying the product name can trigger an exit intent on some sites

When you shop online; move your mouse like you’re leaving the site. A growing # of sites offer some sort of “exit intent” coupon code to (hopefully) capture your business before you abandon your cart. The ecom software recognizes what leaving a site “looks” like. Obviously not all but I’m seeing it more and more.

Add your own words or compare predefined sets. I'm working on a way to visualise the famous king - man + woman = queen example. Any other ideas?

I've made a tool that lets you explore Text Embedding Vectors (an important step for AI tools which use Retrieval Augmented Generation) in a 3D space. You can choose between different dimension reductions, which helps you compare features.

@taylorotwell See you there! ✨

Flying to re:Invent today. Can I build a URL manipulation feature for Laravel while traveling? Let’s find out.

@levelsio I’m getting this weird [object Object] thing on mobile Safari

✨ I made a new thing today: 📑 JSON.pub Whenever I need to quickly copy paste a raw JSON data dump from my app and view it I'd always use json . parser . online . fr but it seems unmaintained, keeps going down, doesn't have HTTPS, and other JSON viewers are full of spyware/malware/tracking scripts So I made this today with a lot of help from ChatGPT to solve it for me and everyone else: JSON.pub visualizes raw JSON data for you, and does it 100% on the client without sending any data to the server But it also secretly supports a lot of other data formats like XML, PHP serialized data, hexadecimal, base64 encoded data, and even binary! And it also works well on mobile! Another one of my little hack projects :D If you want me to add other data types, let me know and I'll add them

@DanMilmo Hey Dan, great article yesterday. Small typo at the top, needs to read "ChatGPT" not "ChatGP" - theguardian.com/technology/202…

@vortuosity hey could you follow me back so I can DM you? Just finished Secret of Scent and it’s amazing

I wrote a post about our conference dream team following this year's conference, featuring @philhawksworth, @MrRio and @_mrBevan 💪 stac.works/articles/the-c…

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n
