thinking i need to update this part of the embeddings paper, this was the case when i wrote it but likely no longer true - is everyone using 768 (min) now?

#HBD to arXiv!🎈 On August 14, 1991, the very first paper was submitted to arXiv. That's 34 years of sharing research quickly, freely & openly! Some baby pictures to show how far we've come . . . when we were just a computer under desk . . . & in our 1994 punk phase . . . 👶💾

machine learning practitioner discourse in 2025 is either “vibe coding with GlorboCode CLI 2.05 dramatically changed my life in 5 minutes” or RL implementation details from leading labs, nothing in between, but we still out here, looking at data and building services by hand

what's the current best way to work with local models and agents? want a claude code-like experience but with gguf models. have so far looked at aider, goose, and openhands, none quite interop with lm studio. i really wanna do this on my laptop!

hey did you see that CoderBuddyCLI 3.1 came out with the BehemothFlex Pro RHLFxx DDPO KPI Model hosted on the Flex++ Text Inference plan? i was using PalCode but now I might switch

One of my core engineering beliefs is that if you are building something you should always be walking around the app vickiboykis.com/2025/09/09/wal…

For a few years, I've been struck by how hyperaware this place is of everything happening in AI while remaining completely obvious to so much else going on in tech.
