How on earth are you supposed to register/log into a Bluesky app? Every time I try I just get a 401 error. I grab an app password too. Sigh.

Tiny pixel of the deep universe, imaged by JWST as part of search for supermassive black holes and distant active galaxies. Processed by @landru79.bsky.social 🔭 🧪
This NIRCam image reveals a rich field of galaxies in the distant universe, potentially including the Hercules Cluster.  Various galaxy shapes and colors are visible, indicating a diverse range of distances and ages. The image provides a glimpse into the distribution and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time, showcasing a tapestry of galaxies, some with distinct spiral structures, others appearing as faint, diffuse objects. The varying colors suggest different stellar populations and redshifts within this deep field observation, offering a window into the early universe.

Dear normal winters of my childhood, I’m sorry I was mean to you. Sincerely, Adult Me
-Miles and Kevin walking through he snow.
Miles: Winter is annoying. The sky is always gray and it’s too cold to have much fun outside. 
Miles: Plus, it never snows enough around here to miss much school. But just enough to turn everything into a black slush. I hate winter. 
-The walk past a sad looking, mostly melted snowman that look almost resigned to its fate. Kevin looks back at it as the pass with a sad expression. 
Miles: Yet, somehow I’m always a little sad to see it end.

If you want a version of DeepSeek-R1 or GPT-o1 that does a really good job on exactly one task, you can do that for ~$30 www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr... Which is to say that technical implementation of o1/o3/R1 style models are relatively easily achieved. Big tech AI companies have no moat.

Lots of obsession over what to do as AI gets better, but I would love to see more attention to addressing some of the obvious and necessary problems we are encountering right now (which would make me feel better about our ability to handle even harder problems later).

Some near-term problems that need to be solved at current levels of AI capability: 1) AI audio and video and can be produced in real time. How do we establish identity & authenticity? 2) How do we manage the transformation of LLM-exposed jobs (writing, coding)? 3) What skills should we be teaching?
