I wrote about AI again. On some level I don't now why I do this to myself
https://jenniferplusplus.com/what-is-a-token/
Actually, I wrote most of it months ago, for work. But, it was well received, so I put it on my blog. This is the more generic version.
The short version is that AI is not magic. It's a real phenomenon with real behavior and tradeoffs. I'm deeply tired of *****ALL***** the tradeoffs being handwaved away. And so much imagination fills in for the actual behavior. So I tried to describe how it's built, because that informs how it works, which informs what it actually does. And to be clear, it does things. It's not useless. But that's not the same as being useful, or worthwhile.
Anyway, I already put ~4k words on this in the article, so I'll shut up and let it speak for itself.
@jenniferplusplus
Good article! I have a similar stance, as an academic computer scientist. I do have one minor quibble, though: transformers do not generate tokens. They generate a probability distribution of potential next tokens, and are dependent on a "second system" to collapse that distribution into a concrete token. I've demonstrated this here:

I am very confused by how after migrating Mailcow from Alma Linux to Alpine, it is now using significantly less memory 
I mean before it was also somehow memory leaking and I think that stopped too?

Our project roadmap is now fully up to date for the next two releases ✨ https://wagtail.org/blog/our-roadmap-for-the-next-6-months/ That’s 11 improvements planned; half in #Python / #Dango for devs, half for CMS users!
A long interview with Jimmy Lovine (The founder of Beats and later Apple Music), about John Lennon, Steve Jobs and the state of the streaming platforms.
Instead of people like him, we got MBAs and Shareholders steering everything against the wall.

📰 Claude Code Remote Controlが登場。ソファでも移動中でも、ローカルセッションをスマホから動かす (👍 87)
🇬🇧 Claude Code's new Remote Control feature lets you access local PC sessions from your smartphone - perfect for coding on the go from couch or train.
🇰🇷 Claude Code의 새로운 Remote Control 기능으로 스마트폰에서 로컬 PC 세션에 접근 가능 - 소파나 이동 중에도 코딩할 수 있습니다.

Back in December, we had a large outage at work. The internal investigation took a while and the internal report was roughly 40 pages long. For the public, we managed to try and condense it to a much shorter format that we think can still offer useful insights to other organizations:

I am now officially an iNaturalist ambassador 👨🌾🕵️♂️🪿🍄🐝🌻
My first project is organizing a BioBlitz (people come together at a place and identify all the living beings they can find) for the marsh near my apartment.
It's happening on April 25th to coincide with the City Nature Challenge.
It will be co-lead with Ryan Bartlett, a local native bee expert, who'll be bringing fun gear to safely catch insects and ID them.
Our findings will lay the groundwork for more intentional stewardship of that land.

As a leader for R&D/innovation teams, I learned quite a while ago that EVERY structure I had in mind was going to be bespoke. Many "roll for persuasion" moments to get these magical things to work :)
I didn't go into this on the podcast, but I also had to advocate for the right to have a software engineer report to me, which subverted organizational assumptions that OTHER people could report TO engineers, but engineers would only ever report to engineering leaders. Which was a fascinating dynamic that I have heard from many clients is similar in their orgs. But to have truly cross-disciplinary work we wanted that role in the lab, and made it happen. Fascinating collaboration resulted.
Posting this one a few times because this conversation really meant a lot to me.
Along with all the good nerdy stuff about measurement in engineering orgs, it was a chance to share some very authentic thoughts around building for trustworthy diversity-informed social science in tech at a time when all "DEI" is under attack, and I'm so grateful that Autumn brought that nuance to the surface. I pull the curtain back a bit on how the DSL was able to do what we did.
I also share about the importance of things like building accurate career ladders that are SKILL based, not just based on stereotypes about roles; this mundane but important detail is critical if we want to have computational social scientists succeed in tech, because our skills are frequently split between two career ladders with large financial consequences. You get penalized for working on human stuff when it drags people away from recognizing your computational skills.

Firefox is experimenting with native WebAssembly Component support in the browser and giving it access to the DOM! It removes pretty much all of the overhead Wasm on the web has today compared to JS. Making it possible for web apps written entirely in Rust to start outperforming JS.

Thanks to 
@docDr. ir. Brian R. Pauw and 
@shervin we’re just a $5/mo pledge away from covering 50% of our Gaza Verified volunteer 
@aseelfromgzA S E E L (and her family’s) rent so they can move out of their tent and into an apartment.
Would you consider being a patron so they can be assured of their rent and not live in precarity? If so, please reply to this thread with your pledge.
Once we’ve hit our goal, I’ll be in touch so we can coordinate :)
And thank you again 💕
