Great to see the innovation we did at @verifeyemedia that was enabled by a @GoogleNewsInit grant covered in the @FT

@joehas I wonder if he is a cousin of Mark E Smith.

Michel Houellebecq lived in rural West Cork near the village of Ballydehob, not far from Schull, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He chose a remote house in the countryside, which suited his preference for isolation and privacy And yes the tax exemption.

@steipete Love it. So much of my workflow captured there. I am not as bullish on Codex after trying it via Droid. Perhaps I need to give it another go.

📢 Time for an update on my workflow. This one's a 23 min read, so buckle up. 100% organic and hand-written, like an animal. steipete.me/posts/just-tal…

@PierreDeWulf Nice. I lived near a hamlet in the French countryside in Bourgogne for a while, 5 minutes from the nearest village and 20 mins from a town with a good weekly market and 30 mins from a small city. With kids and schools I am in a city for now, school there was not a good option.

When I was 25, my dream was to live in New York City. Today, I can’t even imagine living in a city. I’m deeply grateful to live in a time where you don’t have to be a farmer to make a living in the countryside.

We have a busy Hackers & Founders meetup this week with @mattpovey from @SambaNovaAI speaking about about building agentic AI applications with open source models and high speed inference. We are in private room at the excellent Café de Muurbloem meetup.com/hackers-and-fo…

@petercluskey What do you make of this Peter.?

@pierre_nel Yeah it rules

Claude Sonnet 3.5 is sofa king good hooooly shitballs.

@IrishLitTimes Nice to see with @libersligo in the mix.

Ditch Amazon and buy your books from these independent Irish stores instead image.ie/living/ditch-a…

@Boretti_com My oven is less than 3 years old & stops working. My service request sits for days in your support inbox, not even read. I am told on the phone that that it takes at least 2 1/2 weeks to get service once its input in your system, why would I buy your products again?

@pierre_nel lol. It’s kind of useless indeed. You will have better luck with Anthropic Claude-3-opus

Me giving Code Llama a whirl: --->3--- >>> what is the latest version of Next.js that you are familiar with? The latest version of Next.js that I am familiar with is Next.js 10. This version was released in September 2020. --->3--- 😐

@FrancoisPittion Indeed it was quite something

@mattpovey @MistralAI Tapping foot……

Well. This is exciting. @MistralAI

Interesting discourse on the present day of programming in the era of AI chat bots. All programmers can now become 10x coders for coding output but the best will still need to be able to reason with the machine. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

@mattpovey There is hope. Sad that it only comes with the self interest of some national governments.

Europe might be realising that over-regulating AI is just a way to stop European companies competing before they've even tried. euractiv.com/section/artifi…

Star Trek the Next Generation built a smart watch.

@GergelyOrosz Congratulations Gergely! 👏

Day 3 that my book is the #1 bestseller on Amazon, across all books sold in the Netherlands. You can tell this is where I live! The book has been awarded the coveted "#1 Amazon Best Seller" badge. Usually mainstream books w major publisher backing that get this badge. Surreal!

@FrancoisPittion Got another ?

@wprosupport really ? This is not even a forecast for anywhere in this country.

Interesting to see Signal has layered in a Post-Quantum Cryptography algorithm on top of its current public key system. signal.org/blog/pqxdh/

@mattpovey Best to just take it to Maarten maps.app.goo.gl/py1SLKWxSsEXTM…

Replacing an inner tube on the rear wheel of a modern city bike is a monumental pain in the arse. Actually, knees and fingers mostly, but still a colossal pain.
