My last-standing personal litmus test for new AI models that's easy to judge: create a novel joke w/ some random elements to incorporate so it doesn't repeat existing ones. The reasoning models certainly make a better attempt at it but still come up way short, doesn't seem like it's far off though.

Wrote a longish post explaining why Bluesky is enshittification-resistant (not enshittification-proof, mind you, but resistant). I expect some people to get mad about this, but for folks who are concerned/trying to understand... The key: it has a tech poison pill. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/21/t...

Artificial intelligence has given me a voice. chadkovac.blogspot.com/2025/01/were...

While recovering from Influenza A (πŸ€’πŸ˜£), I made a simple looping system that uses Gemini's free tier (15 RPM) with an editor and a writer. Feed it in some starter for a short story idea and let it run. There's some of my initial test runs included, they're pretty good IMO! github.com/quartzjer/lo...

Now that Bluesky seems to have basically restored the premise and dynamics of Twitter, can someone build the thing that does the same for Instagram? All I’m asking is to see the photos from my friends (as opposed to ads and accounts I don’t follow.)

Fun little winter break side project to help me explore more of atproto - I made a fun Bluesky - IRC bridge! github.com/quartzjer/AT... Built in python using @marshal.dev's awesome atproto module, definitely spent too much time fiddling with how to display rich/media posts in an IRC-friendly way πŸ˜…

@dholms.xyz @divy.zone is this currently the best method for a client to monitor the timeline for new posts? github.com/MarshalX/atp... cc @marshal.dev

LLM: how many e's in 3? 4o: The word "three" contains two "e"s. o1: In English, if you spell out the digit 3 as β€œthree,” there are exactly two e’s in the word. Gemini 2: There is one "e" in the English spelling of the number 3, which is "three". Sonnet 3.5: There are zero "e"s in the number "3".

My first published python utility! Fell into a rabbit hole and made this: github.com/quartzjer/bo... It's a command line app that synchronizes clipboards across any number of (mac or linux) systems, and supports cross-platform copy/pasting images, rich text, and even files. pip install bounceboard

This is one of my favorite things I’ve seen in a while!

Made a few improvements to my little AI sketching playground, now supports Claude and Gemini (2.0 flash), both are still pretty toddler in their SVG drawing abilities πŸ‘Ά github.com/quartzjer/dr...

Colin Farrell’s performance in The Penguin (Max) is world class, absolutely astounding. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Playing around w/ the new Gemini 2.0 real-time API today, made some notes that include full message examples. Google's doing a good job of de-enterprising their new AI APIs but the docs aren't all the way there yet πŸ€“ See here: gist.github.com/quartzjer/96...

Hey it'd be super cool if you reposted this post to let all your cool friends know that @slashdot.org is on Bluesky now!

A few weeks ago I also threw together a little testing util of Anthropic's new computer use API beta, code largely written by Sonnet itself πŸ˜‰ Handy for seeing how well it understands visual/UX cues, draws an X over where it would move the mouse to given a text command: github.com/quartzjer/pi-c

Been playing with the idea of using the bones of OpenAI's Realtime API as an audio streaming "protocol", coining it PCMux since it's just base64'd PCM in JSON events. Had fun today throwing together some tiny utilities to explore the idea using STDIO: github.com/quartzjer/PC...

This morning I read about github.com/yael-vinker/... and figured that using SVG paths as the base would be more effective, so while the πŸ¦ƒ food is cooking I threw this together: github.com/quartzjer/dr... (with great help from copilot!)

I really like this idea of a Betterment metric!

@jeremie.com inspired me to give o1-preview a crack at an old project, and it’s killing it. Made me realize that perhaps the best evals for new models is the boneyard of stuff you tried and failed to acvomplish over the last 6 months. You need to be failmaxxing to stay on top!
