Dear medievalist and medieval-curious friends, please help spread the good word about a new opportunity to enroll in the Advanced Certificate in Medieval Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. CUNY may not be rich, but we are uniquely rich in medievalists! www.gc.cuny.edu/events/medie... #medievalsky

ICYMI, Friday was my last day at @redmonk.com I am excited about what’s next for me (more on this next week). For now, just want to say how grateful I am to my RedMonk colleagues for my time as a monk. Also, I left you a post on my way out: redmonk.com/kfitzpatrick...

I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Here's my end-of-year review of things we learned out about LLMs in 2024 - we learned a LOT of things simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/... Table of contents:

    The GPT-4 barrier was comprehensively broken
    Some of those GPT-4 models run on my laptop
    LLM prices crashed, thanks to competition and increased efficiency
    Multimodal vision is common, audio and video are starting to emerge
    Voice and live camera mode are science fiction come to life
    Prompt driven app generation is a commodity already
    Universal access to the best models lasted for just a few short months
    “Agents” still haven’t really happened yet
    Evals really matter
    Apple Intelligence is bad, Apple’s MLX library is excellent
    The rise of inference-scaling “reasoning” models
    Was the best currently available LLM trained in China for less than $6m?
    The environmental impact got better
    The environmental impact got much, much worse
    The year of slop
    Synthetic training data works great
    LLMs somehow got even harder to use
    Knowledge is incredibly unevenly distributed
    LLMs need better criticism
    Everything tagged “llms” on my blog in 2024

Jumping on the bandwagon by calling out my 5 star reads of 2024. It was not the best reading year for me, I'll admit. I DNF'd probably around 15 books, finished 45, and was pretty disappointed in a large majority of those. But here are some I loved!
