vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Check in with your friends, we're about to enter a turbulent time at the tail of the exponential and the psychological onslaught is going to get ugly. I already have one that I very much regret not reaching out to sooner.... 140
vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 09/02/2026it required me telling it to "focus on the actual process" and then a small feedback on "the roll looks right but it's not triangular shape"...I love it's reasoning though 010
vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I hate that these are in Farenheit, but the funny thing is that the south pole station is below the limit where Celsius and Farenheit become equal (-40) so the relationship flips and (F>C now becomes C>F) 120
vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 08/02/2026opus 4.5 sort of sucked in ML tasks, it constantly got architecture stuff wrong, had to be corrected on data loader stuff, claude code would really go back and forth so many times if you deviated just slightly from training data...but 4.6 just nails it man, wth 141

vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Drifting models are neat but it does seem we lost something when the field started being obsessed with few shot distribution deformations instead of focusing on informative processes 000

vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Excellent point, if you in any way move you'll be only accelerating towards the singularity, except if it's a ring singularity, you might be able to maneuver and miss it. Good luck. 020
vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Every few months I revisit my pet project of doing optimization on exotic spaces (particularly for discrete things). It's really really hard to find something that beats recasting the problem as gradient descent. Ironically, the approach that has come closer is LLM guided optimization 050

vi🌸 @pinkddle.bsky.social · 29/01/2026The Alphagenome paper is good work, but it's interesting to see how small the improvement is in many of the tasks compared to relatively simple baselines...sort of tells you that we are missing measurements/modalities, not models per se 000
