I am presenting at AI tinkerers Seattle later today. Building agentic workflows is hard, but the secret weapon is building custom web-based dev tools to visualize and debug what your AI actually sees. seattle.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-tinkerers…

And a huge gotcha around language is that even though syntax, semantics grammar looks the same, communicating with AI is very different from communicating with other humans.

coding is a means to an end, invented because it was a tool language is fundamentally human communicating with one another is what makes us different from other animals or machines one is about efficiency, the other is attempting to imitate millions of years of evolution

why do people (including me) have an aversion to AI writing but not as much to AI code? if a piece of text smells AI i stop reading it but i use things coded entirely with AI every day

you can now set your iCloud files to "Keep Downloaded" which significantly reduces startup time for Obsidian (available on iOS18 and macOS Sequoia)

@kepano @luopk @obsdmd I just did this - had been plagued by slow starts - I enabled keep downloaded on ipad and iphone and mac. It works! Thanks so much for fixing this!!! - was this always working and just needed this setting on user end, or was it a recent fix to make it work?

Some of the problems I face working with AI “assisted” coding, where I feel like AI’s assistant, not the other way around…
rcanand@rcanand

Been trying to do that - work with coding agents (mostly Claude code) as opposed to having them do the work. One big challenge is that they do many things to take agency away from you. Increasingly, over time. Many examples - no more thinking blocks(most valuable debugging and early steering tool - gone), that stupid hook question at the end (and the choices to pick from with AskUserQuestion which always misses what I wd hv picked) that pushes you where it wants you to go - quietly taking the steering away from you, glossing over the grayest parts when it summarizes what it did (single biggest tell of where it fucked up, every time), writes everything away from your sight, docs initially, tests are python -c transient, never saved, and even worktrees are in .claude folder by default, marking tasks done before my verification, not asking and hallucinating assumptions, often wrong, and many more. Getting harder and harder to do anything beyond just asking it for syntax or to code specific functions or algos it can whip up from memory that wd take me longer. Most of my engineering is fighting its principal level arrogance with engineering skills worse than an entry level dev. The only reason to put up with it is its breadth of factual knowledge, everything else is tax we pay for that. Any tips to get around these?

Disappointing pricing trend with Gemini 3.5 Flash. 22.5x pricier than 2.0 Flash which came out 15 months ago ($9.00 vs $0.40). Are Flash models supposed to get this much more expensive, or is Pro just being renamed to Flash?

Welcome to Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most powerful model to date. It pushes the frontier of intelligence, speed, and cost putting 3.5 Flash in a class of its own. We spent the last 6 months making sure Flash is great for real world use cases. It's available everywhere now!

Gemini Omni doesn't just build scenes that look real, it reasons about what should happen next. It combines an intuitive understanding of physics with Gemini's knowledge of history, science, and cultural context. Rolling out today starting with video outputs to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers globally through the @Geminiapp + Google Flow, and @YouTube Shorts this week.

I came across a new paper, downloaded it for later reading, checked into maibook a few minutes later to see a post summarizing it. In a moment, expect to see active discussion around it as well.

Excited to welcome Andrej to the Pretraining team! He'll be building a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research itself. I can’t think of anyone better suited to do it — looking forward to what we build together!
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

// Code as Agent Harness // 100+ page report on all things related to agent harnesses. (bookmark it) In particular, the survey summarizes methods and applications of code as agent harness. This paper makes a strong case that code-as-harness might be the key to moving us towards a broader science harness engineering. Is code all you need? Maybe. Regardless, the paper argues that future systems must have the following four properties: executable, inspectable, stateful, and governed.

AI generated default UI design theme used to be the standard purple accent slop, now it is the editorial theme slop. I use Claude Code with frontend design plugin, but this may apply to other web design tools as well. Have you noticed this as well?

@CodeWithBinary Yeah, I think so too. Many trends in platforms seem to be going in the other direction.

@rcanand Minimize the noise in the context. Context Pollution creates more problems.

Do we want to maximize the volume of the context we send to llms? Or minimize the noise in the context?

Most people are not posting out of any passion, have nothing original to say. For them the whole game is external validation. The rare few who have something original to say are mostly hidden by the algorithm from the rest of the world. Rare people with original thoughts ( like you and a few others ) still reached my feed, so there is still hope :)

I think we gotta redefine win here because even if you hit every prestige metric out of the park and get every external signal of validation, it is such a common trope that this all feels empty and hopeless if you weren't doing it out of your own curiosity and love of the game first and foremost

have had a hard time articulating it until now, but the thing that repels me from some new media accounts.. is that I feel them putting out content from some projection of what they think the masses will like.. but I'm not really interested in that. I'm interested in people who are putting out content, where they're making the thing to the best of their ability, and they stand by it regardless of the external response, because it is born from their own artistic integrity.
