He's training a two layer CNN on MNIST. Set dropout to 0.95. Good, now set the learning rate to 10^-8 and remove all of the 7's from the train set.

It has never, ever been a better time to be a software engineer. Compared to 3 years ago, learning everything is so extremely easy and quick, if you actually care.

no hemos levantado 40 kilos y somos open source. mola saber que vamos en la direcciĂłn correcta @_archeproject
Most AI at work is still single-player. The gains stay trapped with each individual. Nothing compounds across the team. Today, we're announcing @DustHQ $40M Series B to scale multiplayer AI: humans and agents working in parallel, with shared context, shared tools, and shared goals. đź§µ

Proximity to SF doesn't matter if you use Twitter Correctly. X.com is 2 months ahead of SV/founders/eng (if you curate your feed correctly and are in the right group chats)
People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA "The future is here, just not equally distributed" - Robert Heinlein

How do you scale LLM inference without the "Day 2" operational headaches? We just shared a new deep dive on the llm-d blog: building a production-grade stack with KServe vLLM llm-d. Collaborative work with Red Hat & Tesla. Read the full breakdown: llm-d.ai/blog/production-gra…

Día 1 automatizando la operativa de mi startup con IA. Objetivo: reportes de progreso y estado. No tener que estar revisando el jira, Linear o kanban de turno; se acabó estar solicitando reportes a tus compañeros:

Archē is live! An open-source, AI native operating system for your company. One goal: Bring the best tools together and create shared context for more efficient day to day operations. It is built around @opencode and adds a layer of sugar. Custom tools, a shared versioned knowledge base, multi user remote workspace, and centralized configuration. Best part. One click deploy on a cheap VPS. Up and running in minutes with its templating engine. If you like it, try it and share. Still early stage. PRs welcome. Cc: @p3rd0mo @ixJosemi

Esta combinación de agentes con knowledge base es la que disparó la idea de algo muy top que estoy construyendo. Hice un mvp para Calisteniapp y ya lo uso todos los días. Lo comparti con @p3rd0mo y @ixJosemi y no pudimos evitar montar un oneclick deployment para que cualquiera pueda sacarle partido. más sobre esto sooooon.
Si no capturas una idea en el momento exacto en que surge, la pierdes. Así de simple. Durante el último año probé todo tipo de métodos: notas de voz, papel y boli, Notion, mi propia app... Todos fallaron por lo mismo: demasiada fricción. Creo que encontré el sistema definitivo:

Okay so I need to talk about what’s happening with Yann LeCun because this is genuinely one of the wildest exits I’ve ever seen in tech. For those who don’t know—LeCun is one of the “godfathers of AI.” Not a marketing title. The man literally won the Turing Award (basically the Nobel Prize of computer science) for helping invent deep learning. He’s been at Meta for over a decade as their Chief AI Scientist. An absolute legend. So here’s what happened. Zuckerberg got frustrated. Llama wasn’t moving fast enough. The AI race was heating up and Meta felt like it was falling behind. So what does Zuck do? He drops $14 BILLION on Scale AI and hires its 28-year-old co-founder, Alexandr Wang, to run a brand new “Superintelligence Lab.” And then—and this is the part that still blows my mind—he makes Wang… LeCun’s boss. Think about that for a second. A 65-year-old Turing Award winner. Four decades of groundbreaking research. The guy who helped BUILD this entire field. Now reporting to someone whose company… labels data. (Scale AI is impressive, don’t get me wrong, but they don’t actually build AI models. They annotate training data for other companies.) LeCun just did an interview with the Financial Times and honestly? He chose violence. Called Wang “young” and “inexperienced.” Said he has “no experience with research or how you practice research, how you do it. Or what would be attractive or repulsive to a researcher.” And then dropped this absolute gem: “You don’t tell a researcher what to do. You certainly don’t tell a researcher like me what to do.” I mean. The man said what he said. But wait—it gets better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it. LeCun straight up confirmed that Meta’s team “fudged” the Llama 4 benchmark results. Like, actually manipulated them. Used different models on different tests to make the numbers look better. Remember when everyone was suspicious about those benchmarks back in April? Yeah. Turns out they were right to be. Apparently Zuckerberg was furious when this came out internally. LeCun says he “lost confidence in everyone who was involved” and basically sidelined the entire GenAI team. And here’s the thing that really gets me—LeCun has been saying for YEARS that LLMs are a “dead end.” That you can’t get to real intelligence just by predicting the next word. That we need “world models” that actually understand physical reality, not just language patterns. Everyone at Meta wanted him to stop saying this publicly. Bad for the narrative, you know? But LeCun refused. His exact words: “I’m not gonna change my mind because some dude thinks I’m wrong. I’m not wrong.” That’s not arrogance. That’s a scientist who’s seen enough hype cycles to know when something doesn’t add up. So now he’s out. Launching his own company called AMI Labs—Advanced Machine Intelligence. They’re targeting a $3 billion valuation. Building those world models he’s been talking about. Says he’ll have a “baby version” ready within a year. Oh, and apparently French President Macron personally texted him after the news dropped. LeCun won’t say what the message said but like… the man is getting DMs from heads of state now. I don’t know if LeCun is right about everything. Maybe LLMs will surprise us. Maybe Meta will figure it out. But when one of the three people who literally invented modern AI walks out the door saying your entire strategy is fundamentally flawed? I don’t know man. I’d at least ask some questions. The AI wars just got very, very interesting

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Are you running vLLM on Kubernetes and tired of guessing concurrency thresholds? This new Red Hat article walks through how to autoscale vLLM on OpenShift AI using real service metrics instead of generic request counts. KServe and KEDA work together to scale GPU model servers based on token latency and other signals, which delivered better results than Knative concurrency based autoscaling in performance tests. Worth a read if you are looking to improve efficiency and responsiveness in LLM workloads: developers.redhat.com/articl…

i’m convinced you can get good at anything if you just do it enough. exhibit a: - I sucked at math → became a cs major at harvey mudd - terrible runner my whole life → just finished an ultramarathon - too shy to call & order pizza → now I host events - too homesick as a kid for sleepovers → moved across the country & now solo-travel across the world
