Worth reading for the discussion of the LLM watermark technique alone.

Perhaps not so strange in that from a practical standpoint many "AI problems" are actually "Data Problems" when you start peeling things back.

That's a good trick (the "get ready" ping). It reminds me of how early Instagram was considered fast because they did the photo upload in the background while you were typing your caption so that by the time you hit "upload" it was already there and appeared instantly.

Goofy sideprojects:

https://dnsisbeautiful.com - clean, ad free dns lookup tool.

https://evvl.ai - combination of Github Gists and AI output comparisons (evals)

https://finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com/ - free mac app to intelligently rename any kind of file (photos, videos, audio, text) based upon their contents.

I like finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com Now you don't have to worry about getting domain names, you can version them all the way with the vX. The final boss can be finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3_final.com

It was genuinely quite frustrating that all of the "normal" domain names were taken for this, but not actually used (basically everything "moniker.TLD").

What was surprising was that all the prefix+suffix variants of app/now, etc. were also taken so this was really just me trying to push it hard the other way.

Read to the end of the article to learn about NASA's Space Poop challenge and the award winning astronaut diaper the author created.

I'd add AWS + Gravitron to that list as well.

Lately I've made making some AWS Lambda functions to do some simple things in Python and chose to use the ARM-based instances because there wasn't any reason not to.

Yeah, we migrated a bunch of compute to Graviton a few years ago at a previous employer and the result was better performance at a lower price point.

Tahoe introduced some changes to the windowing code that badly disrupted my DisplayPort device that was rock solid on Sequoia. I ended up switching to a new device as a workaround. Window memory use (I have a lot of virtual desktops and extra screens) is much higher and there's a peristent bug where taking a screenshot with CleanShot somehow resets the DisplayPort driver and everything flips out for a minute and it has to rediscover the external monitors. Infuriating.

"signal/noise" possibly?

Well, there are definitely people who care about the vision and style of movies from certain directors. It's not so much "story" like plot, but story in the sense of a "brand story" where there's recognizable elements in all the work, repeated themes, changes and decisions and evolution to how they approach things.

I love using Kindle's as single purpose tablet/interfaces/displays. I'm the weirdo who actually prefers the LCD displays vs eInk and it's incredibly easy to set Kindle Fire's into dev mode which lets you display a webpage, never turn off while connected to power and never show ads.

You can regularly find the Kindle Fire HD10s for ~$40

Good to know about Kindle Fire. And hah, I can totally see why you'd prefer LCD's over e-ink - no ghosting + readable in pitch dark would be a sweet upgrade to the dashboard.
