Oh yes indeed. April is shaping up to be a real doozy of an AI release blitz. It feels like a group of large warships has just gathered offshore, and they're now priming their cannons.

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.

I thought it was possible to just block, and moderate words you don't want. I've got a ton of blocks in place and it seems OK for me. Along with the 'less of this' setting?

I was just thinking that reasoning time seems to be unlocking gains that no-one expected vs scaling massive amounts of compute?

This paper is wild - a Stanford team shows the simplest way to make an open LLM into a reasoning model They used just 1,000 carefully curated reasoning examples & a trick where if the model tries to stop thinking, they append "Wait" to force it to continue. Near o1 at math. arxiv.org/pdf/2501.19393

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.

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books? They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good* www.thriftbooks.com

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

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.

AI research team claims to reproduce DeepSeek core technologies for $30 — relatively small R1-Zero model has remarkable problem-solving abilities
It's cheap and powerful.
