I’ve been playing around with Jev for retrieval annotation and, while not perfect, it’s somewhat comparable to gpt-5.6-luna while being ~10x faster and cheaper.

I’ve thought about buying the Ray-Ban Meta many times. With two young kids and the idea of having a POV camera attached to my glasses that can be used for taking pictures and videos of them without pulling my phone out is really enticing. Until I realize it’s Meta. And how creepy they can be.

I really, really dont understand how some people/companies get the raw, clearly LLM-written text and just slap it on a corporate email and send it along. Do they really think it "looks good"? Or that no one will notice?

Why didn't anyone made a 3D-printable shim for keeping you laptop slightly opened for when you need to walk around while an agent is doing stuff?

Pokopia's meta-story is about a generation of adults who disappeared from Pokémon fandom, and now must return to their dusty memories, clean them off, and use them to rebuild their affection for dozens of little critters they'd long ago forgotten. It's a literal re-entry point for the series.

AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers. We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/build-m...

Just officially finished(?) Blue Price, or at least as far as the community is aware of its end. My life goal is to make someone else play it without touching Google, and make them rely on me for tips and guidance. Is that how DMs feel like?

Same story with the no-code movement of some time ago. Specifying precisely what you want (call it prompting, call it no-code) is just… programming.

AI tools will reduce the need for software engineers the same way that no-code tools reduced this. Being able to specify what software you want to build, how it should be structured, and how *exactly* it should work is... programming. And getting into the weeds, when needed.

Next week I will be going on a 15-days trip to Brazil for two weddings. It’s the first time since high school that I will spend that long without working (or at least trying). And the first time in 5 years I will spend that long without wife and kids. I think I will die of boredom.

Agents are all the rage - and for good reason. While the concept of agents has been around for decades in traditional software engineering, recent AI breakthroughs have brought them back into the spotlight.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, NIST? One of the last bastions of old-style web UI in our IR community is dead! (just kidding, the site looks so much better now)

I’ve said on the other network, but I’ve been bullish on listwise methods for a while (When I was at Naver, I wrote a paper about this, but it wasn’t accepted). Biggest drawback is the lack of large scale training datasets with multiple relevant judgments per query.

Have you ever thought about what my “I’m filthy rich now” personal project would be? Mine would be to start a space launch company in Brazil. We have the geography and basic infrastructure (Alcântara Space Center). We have the brains (ITA, IEAv). Money and political will are missing.
