iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

the only interview question i need to ask is: how many sqlite databases do you have on your machine and what do you use them for? if you're able to answer with a specific number, you're not ready yet unless you have a custom cron job cleaning up unused sqlite files.

saving all of my generated deepseek r1's reasoning traces to a USB drive so when the time comes i can send it back to my 12 year old self to prevent him from bashing his head against the desk for being stuck on the 2nd problem of an AMC 12.

good thing i'm intentionally curating everything to discreetly bend the ai agents to my will.

DeepSeek, a LLM trained for a fraction of the cost of GPT-Xx models, in 2 months for 6 million, on limited GPUs due to export restrictions, and competing head to head. This is crazy. It's not the AI part I'm excited about, it's the level of efficiency. github.com/deepseek-ai/...

engineering blogs and white papers from the heyday of pre-AI tech are a treasure trove of insights and decision making processes without the burden of validating AI slop. don't discount them merely on their being of outdated.

plus if you do decide to pause the 9-5 lifestyle to become an AI consultant, you'll have a solid foundation and not have to start from scratch.

if you're a cs student aspiring to become a software engineer in 2025, make sure to hone adjacent skills like writing, marketing, & sales. in the age of agents, establishing human connection & building an audience organically will make set you apart from the rest.

supercharge your LLM apps with smolagents 🔥 however cool your LLM is, without being agentic it can only go so far enter smolagents: a new agent library by @hf.co to make the LLM write code, do analysis and automate boring stuff! huggingface.co/blog/smolage...

the intersection between hardcore biotech, precision therapeutics, & AI is an interesting one. i'm particularly bullish about the work being done with organoid intelligence - mainly because of more energy efficient computing as well as possible contributions to neurodegenerative disease research

every PR is another step towards the dream of having a universal near zero latency jarvis+second brain ai mesh seemed like a gargantuan task back when i discovered obsidian/roam in college but current tech & capabilities make it easier to bootstrap a decent representation of this.

when you've been on the internet as long as i have, you would understand that everything can be used for anything and leaves a trail. the difference today is a lot more security theatre & forced transparency it's why i've always written stuff envisioning that they'd be immortalized by a super AGI

How do LLMs learn to reason from data? Are they ~retrieving the answers from parametric knowledge🦜? In our new preprint, we look at the pretraining data and find evidence against this: Procedural knowledge in pretraining drives LLM reasoning ⚙️🔢 🧵⬇️

you never truly appreciate the simplicity of lxml until you start berating a crewai agent for botching docx xml runs.

so everyone can build their own ocr solution as a personal project

you never truly appreciate the simplicity of a .txt file until you try looking for something in unzipped docx xml files
