Hur kan man lägga 5,5 miljarder för ett digitalt journalsystem som inte ens tar med sig de tidigare journaler? Vad lever vi i för bisarr värld?

Today I'm open sourcing @timelinize, an ambitious project that organizes your life's data from your online accounts, photo library, phone, etc, onto a single unified timeline on your own computer. It will benefit from the community's help. 🧵 github.com/timelinize/tim…

This is so true. It's hard enough building regular software and then finding that end users instantly break it in weird ways you didn't expect - the scope for ways they can break anything with an LLM involved is effectively unbounded

Small victory but 2 years later no one says “web2” any more… because “web3” has mostly disappeared. It was a term fueled by select VCs invested heavily in crypto companies. I just feel sorry for devs who fell for it and believed it’s somehow superior to normal engineering.

Can we please stop calling web development “web2”. It’s “web”. There is no “web3”. It’s embarrassing to associate unregulated securities with a splash of code with this term.

OMG, the AI Winter Break Hypothesis may actually be true? There was some idle speculation that GPT-4 might perform worse in December because it "learned" to do less work over the holidays. Here is a statistically significant test showing that this may be true. LLMs are weird.🎅

A viral paper "Language Model Represents Space and Time" recently claims that LLMs learn "world models". As much as I like @tegmark's works, I disagree with their definition of world model. World model is a core concept in AI agent and decision making. It is our mental

@_mql But I guess we could mount a folder from a DB to file system for easy access?

@_mql I tried it way back from MongoDB, so not fully self-contained. It works as long as there is a cache/CDN in front, I would say. But a part I didn’t like is that it feels a lot easier to reason with and debug a folder of files vs extracting the data from the DB

The adoption of cellphones by Keralan fishermen is, I believe, the most stunning example of the contribution of information technology to market performance. Take a look at this graph for background: in three different regions of Kerala, phones were adopted at different times. Kozhikode got cellphones before Kannur, who got them before Kasaragod. Adoption by fishermen was fast when phones were finally introduced: Now look at what happened to the price of fish after phones entered the scene: The dispersion in prices virtually disappeared! The author of the study wrote about this that: "Before any region had mobile phones, the degree of price dispersion across markets within a region on any given day is high, and there are many cases where the price is zero (i.e., waste). However, within a few weeks of mobile phones being introduced in Region I, there is a sharp and striking reduction in price dispersion. Prices across markets in the region rarely differ by more than a few rupees per kilogram on any day, compared to cases of as much as 10 Rs/kg prior to the introduction of mobile phones. In addition, the prices in the various markets rise and fall together and the week-to-week variability within each market is much smaller, since catchment zone-specific quantity shocks are now spread across markets via arbitrage. Further, there are no cases of waste in this region after phones are introduced. "By contrast, price behavior in regions II and III appears largely unchanged after phones are introduced in region I. However, after mobile phones are introduced in region II, prices again become much less dispersed across markets on any given day, less variable within markets over time, and waste is ultimately eliminated, whereas region III again remains unchanged. Finally, the same pattern holds once region III adds phones." Efficient information transmission enables efficient markets. It's amazing what technology can do.

It was always going to happen, but this is a great illustration how the once king Google Search is now falling. Sure, Google might save the situation by moving faster into AI but it will be really hard for them to kill their darlings. (Now, we just need AI that links to sources)

To illustrate the difference. Here's me asking ChatGPT, and getting the answer I needed (the GLB class, that I was trying to find). And the first 3 pages of Google results: Page 1: only ads Page 2-3: zero results for Mercedes gas cars: only about electric ones. Zero!!

@gorillotaur Håller med, tänker vilken lyx det hade varit att ha AI-konst när man satt med sina egenskrivna kampanjer under årens alla lopp, och avundsjukt sneglade på de som faktiskt kunde rita.
