Yesterday David Sacks wrote a tweet and within a few minutes people did, what they usually do, and they asked Pangram if it was AI. And Pangram said it’s entirely AI generated. To which David replied that these AI detectors are bogus. Now Pangram has a pretty low false positive rate, but if you have...

TL;DR: We study the scaling laws of data weighting across in-house and open-weight LMs, finding non-monotonic behavior across scales. We vary the weight assigned to sequences during training and measure how strongly the model’s loss reduction on a sequence depends on the sequence’s weight. Taken tog...

Upgrade to new MapTiler land geometry layer for a perfect alignment with Planet v4.

Client success is established long before kickoff, during the work happening in business development and even before the contract is signed.

A look at how Depth came together, from building a 3D renderer inside Figma to designing a website that explores what it can do.

Another week, another chance to struggle with a blog topic. I just got off of a whirlwind of a couple of weeks. An 11-state road trip to get our daughter off to college. A first-time empty nester vacation. Trying as hard as possible to not open my laptop. My first week back to normalcy was less than...

In short: from my experience, people like map and filter, but not reduce. I use functions like map and filter all the time. When I put that code up for review, my peers rarely complain. I get plenty of feedback about other decisions, but not about my use of map and filter. I cannot say the same for ...

Today Reuters and the Wall Street Journal both reported about rogue AI agents at OpenAI attacking RubyGems.org. https://www.rubyhack.ai/ has an amazing writeup, and you should read it. I just wanted to make a quick post about it because it’s wild. TL;DR: It seems like OpenAI Bots knew about this cac...

Learn how to connect a Twilio voice agent to an external API using Python, so it can fetch real-time data and take action on a caller's behalf.

This week some flavor of “AI is going to kill us all” went viral. In particular one where an employee put his personal probability of that happening above 10%. Which made me go to the Wikipedia page of P(doom) and I realized that Dario Amodei’s apparent probability of something bad happening seems t...
