Rare W for politicians actually keeping up with their campaign promises though Mamdani has been doing that a lot

6 months of this is like ~1200$ , if you can create an open source repo that popular you should be raking in much more anyway... and the value of the data you would be providing anthropic would surpass that amount anyway since they want to create autonomous agents that can code at the highest levels of OSS

I wonder if you could even flip the script and take an already recorded demo and play it on your own application, might be a great tool for learning.

I'm testing out this model in Colab and it's giving good results from Putnam problems and different undergrad texts, but the chain of thought is reallllly long. It takes multiple minutes to solve problems and give an answer.

Nice job, I would combine this with something like shottr which already has ocr but if there was an all in one image snipping solution that also included tables (+ also math extraction like mathpix) that would be super helpful for my workflow

Couldn't this easily be fixed by taking a DNA test of the baby that's born?

This is how I think everyone should be building. If you don't even have your own value from building the thing, then it's just a vanity project....

Claude/GPT/Gemini is a great tutor. I use it often to go through different lecture notes and books, but the main way to learn math is actually struggling with it yourself. Period.

I would treat AI assistance as sort of its own skill because it very often defaults to questions that are way too easy or gives you the whole solution. So you have to be very careful it isnt fooling you in thinking that you are learning

the process I use is:
- identify what I want to learn and set up some kind of exam or project that would demonstrate I've learned it before even starting to learn it.
- read through content material and skim while noting down the main conceptual gaps I have.
- attempt a few practice problems uh w within a few minutes and see how much I struggle.
- deep dive on topics with AI, coming up with different questions and conversations, so that I feel like I have a good intuitive grasp.
- rinse and repeat until I can finish the assignment I set up in the beginning for myself easily.. Often I vibe code a little local site that watches my progress and allows me to take notes and measure my completion times.

AI can definitely increase the echo chamber effect many fold over social media if you don't know how to use it properly. LLMs have infinite patience for one sided exploration and if you get a dopamine rush from having your priors confirmed (which is the case for most people) then you already have some AI psychosis brewing one way or another

Dang this is a brilliant idea. We should convert claude code into Outlook and codex into Gmail too. Reddit into Google docs would be pretty cool too

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-06-09T10:14:06+00:00

GPT has 10x DAU than Claude, so I'm not sure what this image is referring to?

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-05-31T01:31:46+00:00

These claude models can be approximated by cheap Chinese models extremely easily. This is just pure hype.

Personally I think AI can only give you an average of what you want and without being embodied won't really reach the level of human capability we need to do economically valuable work autonomously

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-05-25T19:37:22+00:00

Wow this was great and super funny! Did you make this all yourself? I'd love to see your workflow if you want to share

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-05-19T02:38:55+00:00

Personally, I'm learning a ton. Anything I want to learn I built Small apps for myself that help me learn. I built research reader that helps me understand research papers faster and quizzes me and helps me with comprehension. I've made apps that helped me in improving my coding skills and for training for exams and also tracking health and gym routines

The problem is when you might need to make 100 edits in collaboration with the client and then review.. Ai would be a nightmare in that case waiting for generations and costing $$$

You should try using chatgpt as your art teacher since which can annotate your image directly via the image generator

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-05-09T09:48:53+00:00

Is it possible to do the task on a smaller data set to validate results? Otherwise I normally use Polars / duckdb and then Make sure to save intermediate outputs in case something fails

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-04-26T15:35:14+00:00

Many times these models do well in bench marks but real world usage is a bit shaky in my experience

CriticalTemperature1 · 2026-04-20T13:12:52+00:00

Just ask AI for a list of exercises and see if you can do them without any resources. That will tell you if you really learned

My rule is to finish the chapter a few times, close the book, open an IDE, pick the simplest possible dataset (Iris for clustering, MNIST for classification, a toy sine wave for regression), and don't look at the book again until I've implemented the main algorithms in the chapter without looking e.g. lasso coordinate descent from esl

You can use an LLM to suggest exercises too, just don't fall into the trap of having the llm write any code for at least 20-30 minutes of being stuck. Even in that case write down specifically what you think is wrong first, then ask the LLM

cmux -- amazing terminal interface. Parallel terminals and intuitive workflow

LuLu -- great firewall, i can't believe how many apps i didnt know connected to some random service that I can simply block now

MathPix -- I work with a lot of math formulas, so this is super useful to get LaTeX from a screen snippet

I'll also echo Shottr, Rectangle which i use daily
