I made pdftext, a small tool that extracts text like pymupdf, but with an Apache license (mupdf is AGPL). It can pull out blocks and lines or plain text. Find it here - github.com/VikParuchuri/p… .
I built and sold Frame.io for $1.3 billion to Adobe, and along the way, I received plenty of advice that turned out to be entirely off the mark. Here's a look at some of the most glaring misdirections: 1. "As CEO, focus on executive business tasks." This couldn't…

Since launching STORM code & web preview, thousands have tried it & offered feedback. - Can I run STORM with open LMs? - Can I change its report style? - Can I contribute to new info source support? Yes! We refactored our codebase for smoother running, customization & dev! 🔗🧵

I'm so tired of being in rooms where people whisper about the absolute ARMY of Big Tech-funded people (most, but not all, ex-Googlers) that have popped up in nearly every corridor in DC where people are working on literally anything to do with AI. So let's talk about it! 1/12

As the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I can say with confidence that this bill is the biggest expansion of the government's warrantless surveillance power since the PATRIOT Act. I'm still doing everything in my power to stop it passing the Senate.

MYSTERY SOLVED! Why does ChatGPT use the word "delve" so much? We've seen a 10x increase in the proportion of medical studies using the word "delve" from 2022 to 2024. But why? @alexhern at The Guardian might've just solved it. Thread below, complete with the trail of clues:

With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an…

WSJ reported yesterday that Trump strategized behind the scenes with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to pass the war funding bill. All three voted YES on final passage. There's no longer any doubt: Trump's fingerprints are all over this

@kahnvex Thanks for the suggestion! Of course this is how I would implement it in practice, but I wanted people who don't write code to understand the joke that the fancy algorithm is just an if statement, which is less clear if there's no if statements.
This bill represents one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history. I will do everything in my power to stop it from passing in the Senate.
NEW: House votes 273-147 to extend FISA Section 702 surveillance powers for two years. After rejecting an amendment to bolster warrant requirement when spying involves US persons. 126 Rs and 147 Ds voted for the bill. Now to Senate. Deadline: April 19 nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
When Joe Biden, Mike Johnson, and others tell you a warrant requirement for FISA 702 is “unworkable,” what they’re really saying is they don’t give a damn about the Fourth Amendment or your rights. Don’t waste an ounce of energy supporting a politician who has contempt for you.
@deedydas Try the same prompt without feeding in any of the books at all to see how much it knows about Harry Potter characters already
I’m sad—and frankly baffled—to report that the House voted today to reward the government’s widespread abuses of Section 702 by massively expanding the government’s powers to conduct warrantless surveillance. 1/14
@karpathy I think you can largely do this with torch.compile tbh :P We actually support codegening into C++ with no PyTorch dependency
People worry about AI stealing jobs, but it’s not the point here. Don’t you see?- the world that we know of is gone. All resources (including art) is decentralized and will be abundance. What you really should worry about is to find new life meanings, once you’ve got everything.
Udio is a free beta product, so expect some rough edges! Everyone can generate up to 1200 songs per month, so have fun 💗 We can't wait to hear what you create. 11/11
🧵 Many people have been misled today. There was not a vote on the FISA bill. There was a vote on a resolution that would have allowed FISA, as well as 6 amendments to it, including a warrant requirement amendment, and three other pieces of legislation to come to the floor.
