By my estimation token quota for Opus on @antigravity went from zero rate limits on Ultra in 6 hour window to about 30 minutes of usage. This game ended quickly.

Dancing is all you need.

They buried the lede on this new study. It's not that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression treatment, but that *just* dancing has the largest effect of *any treatment* for depression. That's kind of beautiful.

I forgot to launch my serverless vector DB 2 months ago called Whiplash. 🫠 It's open source and it wraps around DynamoDB. github.com/ericmillsio/whipl…

It's based on LSH approx nearest neighbor search, which has fairly weak recall, but this can be swapped out for other strategies.

Another was launched today so I figured I'd throw it out there. The ecosystem definitely needs something like this. xitter.cf/Sirupsen/status/170960…

After 4 months of focused work, I'm launching what is, to my knowledge, the first truly serverless vector database: turbopuffer.com/ $1/month per million vectors (10-70x cheaper than others) $4 per million queries

Fraud payments on a @stripe subscription goes for 4 months, disputes filed on 3, and @stripe charges dispute fees for each transactions! The 4th I refund to avoid dispute, the refund gets returned by the bank. Dispute fees > Cost of product. Isn't it @stripe's job to stop this?

We are open sourcing Dolly, a ChatGPT-like model that can do instruction following, created for $30, trained 3 hours on 1 server. The secret in magical human-like interactivity probably lies in a small dataset. databricks.com/blog/2023/03/…

Hello Dolly: Democratizing the magic of ChatGPT with open models

Introducing 'Hello Dolly,' a project to democratize AI by integrating ChatGPT and open models, making advanced AI accessible to everyone.

Insane that Zapier integrated into #ChatGPT... Realistically @OpenAI is completely replacing their glue code with plugins, rendering their business model obsolete. This is why existing companies need to think harder about their current positioning.

It's certainly possible it was also an act of desperation

LLMs might be the most incredible application of Occam's razor we will ever witness. Data science got so complicated and then converged to a single simple interface and a static model.

Not surprised. LLMs give no guarantees to the app owner, nor the user, that it follows instructions 100% of the time. LLMs also end up in a conflicting situation where the ask of a user disobeys the app owner's instructions.

It turns out you can use an undocumented model (Whisper?) on the OpenAI API to transcribe audio! All you need is a valid API key and a spoofed form.

Images of code examples are useless on blogs. Just leave it plain text instead of making it pretty.

SVGs (scalable images) are important for artists so they can easily edit tattoos in @Procreate as well as print clean tattoos that aren't pixelated.

I'm excited to see what tattoos people make with this new style!
