I was looking for a dictation tool on my iphone that’s better than the built-in, but still not a cloud, and lo and behold, there is one! I just tried superwhisper’s local model, and it provided me with flawless transcripts in both english and hungarian, all made locally. yap walks here we come!!

Hey #duckdb friends! I am endlesy fascinated by the tool, and I’m yet to try it, but the one thing that I’m worried about is the lack of autocomplete during my data wrangling in Python. Is there some magic way to get SQL completion inside Python? Some Neovim magic perhaps? Or is this a no-issue?

Yes, vision LLMs are pretty good geo-guessers (I had wondered about this) easily beating humans Bigger LLMs are more accurate and data leakage (having seen the same picture in training) does not seem to be a big problem. The models are better at urban & more developed areas arxiv.org/pdf/2502.11163

I was looking for a free, simple Couch to 5K app to get back into running, and I was disappointed to see that all of them tried to shove a subscription fee down my throat Then I found “Just Run”. Indie developer, free and ad-free, the only IAP is “support Gary who makes the app”. Never paid quicker

starting the day with “what would done look like for today” is such an underrated move it really gave my todolist a different tone, shoutout @austinkleon.bsky.social and @oliverburkeman.com for the inspiration

This week I gave a presentation on how to run LLMs locally! We touched on models, tools, and technical stuff (like quantisation), I designed this in a way that it gives a good baseline to explore afterwards. Enjoy🫶 #llm #ai

Surely adding AI to printers is somehow against the Geneva Conventions

I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon graph neural networks for my research I was out of the ML game when they first started getting traction, so I’m late to the party, but oh boi do they scratch the “networks and ML” itch😃

Since learning vim motions, my LLM use for coding dropped significantly Turns out my pain of “really hate renaming variables by hand” doesn’t need “reasoning”, it needed “getting good at search and replace”😃 Also snippets👌

As a researcher, real personal growth comes from INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE OUTSIDE ACADEMIA. That’s why communicating your research matters. Why? Because these interactions spark new questions and ideas. Not my words, but those of @martecwsolheim.bsky.social, prorector at @unistavanger.bsky.social 🧵

Hey #PhDSky, I made a quick video that I wish I had seen when I stared out, hope it can help some of you out there! youtu.be/qM0t68qPovE

hi #dataengineering friends! I have a master student that got a .sql dump file from Postgres, that we’re trying to analyze. Initially we’d just like to learn about the schema/tables/etc, then if needed, do some ETL. Is there a more elegant solution than a local postgres db? @duckdb.org maybe?

hey @edzitron.com is there a way to pay and get an ad-free version of the Better Offline pod? Would love to listen sans-interruptions😃

To round out the “Paper in 6 Weeks” project, here’s a summary that distills all my takeaways from the process! Hope it helps make your writing smoother🫶 #AcademicSky #PhDSky

As somebody who types and feels lost in front of a computer for a living (ie a phd student), I find doing some manual labour an extremely gratifying change of pace Lending a hand at a renovation, laying flooring really gave me a true break from staring at the screen😃 Can’t wait to have a garden

Also broader advice from #phdsky #AcademicSky is also appreciated! How do you find your way around theory?

hi #mgmtsky! I’m curious how people who arrived to management from an applied side (industry/methods/other fields) learned their way around the vast theory? I came from data science, and have a fix dataset, and I grapple with finding the right conversation to join, given my empirical context.

Sometimes recording a storytime, rambly video just hits different It feels like something that’s been trying to get out finally breaks free, super liberating

Last night I said I found the sociology of the discipline super interesting and my friend goes ‘so what you mean is that you like gossip’

It is surprisingly hard to shift out of the “MUST DO STUFF CONSTANTLY” mindset that came with pushing for a manuscript deadline I’m taking some actual vacation now, and this is a pretty new experience
