Amazing and promising trends!

PS! Claude/ChatGPT are both good at explaining the post...

Solar and batteries for generic use cases

A brief note on using solar and batteries as generic power sources. Over the last few years of work at Terraform Industries, we’ve developed several useful heuristics to understand how rapid …

4 years of Brandolini's Law fallout -- what will be the effects?

Brandolini's law - Wikipedia

Classic 80/20 rule: took 3 tries to get the initial working form, then 30 more tries to get it to properly implement HistoryAPI, a missing field, UX tweaks (me to discover a schema record was causing UX issues), etc, etc.

Still, the 0 to 1 step is incredibly important and liberating!

LiteLLM's Model Prices

No shocker that Claude 3.5 Haiku expertly solves the "99% to 98% blue marbles" question. A bit surprised it's not faster. Note that CoT is baked into the model, with no system prompt provided!

**The Great Acceleration**
Preparing Society for Exponential AI Evolution

As AI evolves at breakneck speed, we face an unprecedented challenge: adapting to cognitive partners that may soon rival our intelligence. This essay explores how we can consciously shape this transformation, balancing institutional responses with personal agency to ensure AI enhances rather than diminishes our humanity in the years to come.

OpenAI's CHatGPT Search is good, and Google should be concerned, BUT:

Its crawler violates publishers' robots.txt policies and the model is excerpting and summarizing news articles from publishers with which OpenAI does NOT have agreements (e.g. Gannett)

Is incapable of reasoning on follow up questions: it is more similar to a one-and-done search than an AI Chat

Amazingly makes use of Google's cache of each source's Favicon (presumably for UX rendering speed)

A colleague came across https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/blob/main/model_prices_and_context_window.json and shared it with me, thought we could maybe convert to a row based format and use in a spreadsheet.

10 minutes later we instead had this, created in 3 tries by Claude 3.5 Sonnet (new aka 20241022). It was harder deciding how to host it than to "code" it!

The newly updated #Claude 3.5 #Sonnet #AI (20241022) is anecdotally a grade level or two better than the old one. I had no doubt it would be able to solve the 99 to 98% reduction question, but wanted to see its reasoning (and speed). It excelled as expected, but then added a bonus: it verified its answer -- that's a new one!
