An explanation of DeepSeek: China had the past two years to close the gap and develop a base model comparable to GPT-4. They got that good of a base model last year. On top of a good base model, recent reasoning advances (e.g., o1) do not require that much compute to replicate.

so I 3D printed some santa froges as an easter egg for the @OpenAI livestreams and now $FROGE is up 2800% today

The coupling components are all 3D printed, and I designed the mount to fit around the 100Whr batteries that I use to power my Burning Man bike. I also designed and printed a custom flight case for it!

The brains of the totem is an ESP32 that has a microphone attached, which analyses the ambient sound to perform beat detection and analyze musical energy level. It connects to my phone via Bluetooth so I can change the shaders and servo speeds.

I put a technical writeup about the totem on my blog: https://t.co/b24D8guNLq Each aluminum ring is connected on one side by a servo which spins the ring inside it, and on the other side by an electrical slip ring that passes power and data signals through.

wanted to share a recent art / engineering project I’m pretty proud of: I built a music-reactive gyroscope totem for EDC!

my hottest take is that scientific computing should be done in TypeScript

Majorly improved GPT-4 Turbo model available now in the API and rolling out in ChatGPT.
GPT-4 Turbo with Vision is now generally available in the API. Vision requests can now also use JSON mode and function calling. https://t.co/cbvJjij3uL Below are some great ways developers are building with vision. Drop yours in a reply 🧵

Check out my new preprint! I uncovered details about how a protein, Gal1, is internalized into cells and showed that we can use this as an alternative to ASGPR to deliver siRNAs!

Galectins are a family of mammalian glycan-binding proteins that have been implicated as regulators of myriad cellular processes including cell migration, apoptosis, and immune modulation. Several...
