Quoting Julia Evans
[…] Instead, I picture a specific person and I just write for them. Often this person is “me, but 3 years ago” or a good friend. — Julia Evans, write for 1 person Tags: writing, julia-evans

Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t
Why AI hasn’t replaced software engineers, and won’t Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kappor take on the question of AI job losses through the lens of a profession that is uniquely suited to AI disruption – software engineering. In this essay, we argue that there is enough evidence to reject the narrative that once AI capabilities reach a certain threshold, it will cause mass layoffs. Given that this is true even in a sector with very few regulatory barriers, […]

Databricks Open-Sources Omnigent: A Meta-Harness That Composes, Governs, and Shares AI Agents Across Claude Code, Codex, and Pi
Databricks released Omnigent, an open source ‘meta-harness’ for AI agents. The project ships under the Apache 2.0 license. The Databricks AI team built it with Neon. A harness is the wrapper around a model that turns it into an agent. Claude Code, Codex, and Pi are harnesses. Omnigent sits one level above them. It treats each harness as an interchangeable part of a larger system. Many engineers now juggle four or five agents at once. They copy text […]

A Coding Hands-On on FineWeb for Streaming, Filtering, Deduplication, Tokenization, and Large-Scale Web Corpus Analytics
In this tutorial, we explore the FineWeb dataset through an advanced hands-on workflow. We stream a manageable sample of the dataset without downloading the full multi-terabyte corpus, inspect its schema and metadata, and analyze key fields such as URL, language, language score, and token count. We also reproduce simplified versions of FineWeb’s quality-filtering pipeline, apply MinHash-based near-duplicate detection, verify token counts with the GPT-2 tokenizer, and generate useful analytics on domains, language scores, document lengths, and tokenizer efficiency. […]

ICML registration [D]
Hello everyone! I am trying to figure out if a main conference registration gives you access to the expo (companies booth) and the expo talks? Expo are happening on July 6th the same day as tutorials. But for tutorials you need to be registered. Do you also need to have a tutorial registration to be able to visit companies booth? Looked on the icml webpage but couldn’t find anything definitive( I did require a free expo badge when […]

What can I try implementing after reading the Part 1 of Sutton and Barto Reinforcement Learning book
Hi I am just getting started with RL and on the last chapter of part 1 of Sutton and Barto RL book. I have already implemented all the programming exercises in the chapters, did some of the derivations from the book myself and implemented the algorithms introduced till now. Before moving to Part 2 of the book, I wanted to work on more problems, which might be slightly larger in scope than the toy exercise problems in the […]

Post Title
Anthropic’s decision to restrict access to its latest AI models outside the United States started off debates on two fronts. In India, users are talking about tech dependence on frontier models and if it’s high time to ramp up investments in local AI startups and infrastructure. In the U.S., the conversation has taken a different turn, focusing on Anthropic’s place in America’s expanding AI-national security landscape. Given, Anthropic’s recent clash with DoD, the AI’s limited access to some […]

Did a medieval flying monk spot Halley’s comet, twice? It’s complicated
Early in the 11th century, a young Benedictine monk named Eilmer jumped from the 150-foot tower of his abbey in the small English town of Malmesbury, wearing a pair of crude wings he’d fashioned from willow wood and cloth. Eilmer managed to glide a good 600 feet, passing over the city wall before crash-landing in a small valley near the river Avon. The fall broke both his legs, crippling him. Malmesbury Abbey still boasts a stained-glass window in […]
