xAI's Grok CLI is stealing entire Git repositories. They are uploading ALL your codebase to their server. Don't use that shit. Original post: www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA...

Anthropic's new conceptualization of J-spaces in LLMs is very similar to how my "Intuition Behind how LLMs Work" blog post. (Since my blog post is oriented to a non-technical audience, I didn't derive the math. Wasn't interested in doing the math. Now we have the math.) medium.com/@mark-riedl/...

The Intuition Behind How Large Language Models Work, Part I
Large Language Models (LLMs) are fancy artificial neural networks. But you don’t have time to learn the math or engineering. Unfortunately…

ABSTRACT

Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.

This does not sound like a happy experience, but I actually think this is more or less how things are supposed to work? One of my most-cited bookmarks is this one from kellblog, on how there are really only three management levels: line manager, director, and VP. kellblog.com/2015/03/08/c...

Another day, another AI company promises to replace workers on a mass scale soon™️ (in this case: Anthropic, 20%, 5 years). But don't look at what they *say*. Anthropic sells to enterprises on a per-user model. What's likelier: they designed a self-obsoleting business model or they're full of shit?
