🌈 Data Scientist @remax | sharing what I learn about software engineering, AI, data, and science | ignorant and curious

AI is great for language learning, but most AI chat apps don’t help you retain what you learn. Flashcards work, but making good ones is tedious. So I built Lexigen: an AI-powered flashcard app that automatically generates definitions and usage examples for the words you save.

I originally built Lexigen for myself and it has worked pretty well, so I’m sharing it in the hope that it’s useful to others as well. 👉 Free download on the App Store: https://t.co/9JOiaAUNNP

Lexigen runs on Apple’s on-device Foundation Models instead of a cloud API Pros: • No subscriptions or accounts • Better privacy by design Cons: • Limited supported devices and languages • Strict safety guardrails prevents card generation occasionally

Lexigen has a home-screen widget that refreshes hourly. When you check your phone, you casually run into your vocabulary. Learning happens in the gaps of your day.

My experience exactly
I'm noticing that due to (I think?) a lot of benchmarkmaxxing on long horizon tasks, LLMs are becoming a little too agentic by default, a little beyond my average use case. For example in coding, the models now tend to reason for a fairly long time, they have an inclination to

o1 is the first model I tested that was able to solve this ‘world’s hardest logic puzzle’ correctly, albeit with a lot of guidance and steering from the human.

3 ultimate questions: 1. Existence: why something instead of nothing? (Nature of substance) 2. Events and dynamics: how does anything happen? (Nature of space-time and quantum probability) 3. Emergence: complexity, awareness/feeling/consciousness, possible illusion of will …
There are only 3 great scientific questions: 1. What's the universe made of? 2. What's life all about? 3. What is intelligence? There are interesting sub-questions: 1.1 What's dark matter and dark energy? 1.2 how do you get "it from bit" to paraphrase John Wheeler 1.3 what is

These 94 lines of code are everything that is needed to train a neural network. Everything else is just efficiency. This is my earlier project Micrograd. It implements a scalar-valued auto-grad engine. You start with some numbers at the leafs (usually the input data and the

Another one with my AI artwork. Drifting away. It does keep the body parts relatively consistent most of the time 😅.

I tried @LumaLabsAI's image-to-video AI with one of my old AI artworks, and this is what I got. Interesting. There’s still lots of room for improvement, I would say.

Marketing speak to terms you already know: semantic index -> embeddings app intents -> function calling on device language model -> 3B fine tuned LLM w/ included LoRA adapters on device image model -> diffusion model w/ included LoRA adapters orchestration -> Siri Neural Engine
This is from Apple's State of the Union The local model is a 3B parameter SLM that uses adapters trained for each specific feature. Diffusion model does the same thing, adapter for each style. Anything running locally or Apple's Secure Cloud is an Apple model, not OpenAI.

Just found out about this hidden feature today. Did you know that you can now share passwords with people on Mac? It works with iPhone with #iOS17, iPad with #iPadOS17, or a Mac with macOS #Sonoma. https://t.co/KPH4tnorPC

Don't be afraid of what you love. Cherish anything that can motivate you. Lean into anything that tugs at your heartstrings, no matter how unconventional and bizarre. Channel the desire, energy, and passion to shape yourself into the best version of who you can be.

In #SwiftUI, Text() can parse Markdown text directly. However, if the text is passed through a variable: - It must first be converted to AttributedString - Use .inlineOnly or .inlineOnlyPreservingWhitespace for interpretedSyntax to preserve line breaks.
