Hi, thank you for the write-up.

> Once we have a grid, we try to fill it with words! I use simple backtracking search for that, with a timeout to stop the search on grids that are likely impossible to fill. In practice it's easy to generate a new filled grid from scratch about once every two minutes.

Have you explored other search techniques?

> After the grid is full of words, we use an LLM to generate some clues. I've iterated over many models and prompts for this.

Could you share the prompts and the models you tried?

Shameless plug: I've been interested in crossword generation for a while as well and made that toy: https://github.com/super7ramp/croiseur. No grid generation but automatic filling and clue generation. Clues are not really good, currently using gpt-4o-mini.
>Older generations used to cautiously appreciate the sensitivity of such and tread carefully. Younger generations seem tired of hearing it from Israeli politicians.

I think it's much simpler than that. Younger Generations are just sick and tired of walking on eggshells when it comes to calling out jewish-exceptionalism[0] and that trend was accelerated after having witnessed the self declared "jewish-state" commit livestreamed terrorism and genocide for more than a year with absolute impunity. Israel was[1][2][3] and Israel still is the biggest terrorist organization in the region by far and has been since its inception[3].

The US spends more on its military than any other country, and actively gets involved in foreign affairs on this front constantly.

And has bases in every country in the Middle East except Iran - [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_military_in...]

The dollar is strong because the US military is everywhere. The US military is everywhere because the dollar is strong.

And oil is the strongest and biggest motivation for all this, but not the only one.

Though the US military burns massive amounts of oil to operate.
while i understand the sentiment and having an app for everything is annoying, there’s a reason ppl prefer app: most web developers are either incompetent as hell or don’t care and write horrible websites, and forcing ppl to make a native app at least ensures some basic level of saneness and performance

i think there’s maybe two or three popular websites that work well on my phone, everything else is unuseable, while apps still work okay
Sure, but I also think there's nothing wrong with calling it an "app" if that's the buzzword that will tip some people from dismissing it towards trying it out.

I used to run Ubuntu in a VM years before switching to installing a Linux distribution on my PC and the constant distro upgrades got on my nerves.

The way I started was by installing Arch Linux on a 32GB flash drive. No I did not write the ISO onto the flash drive. I used Virtualbox to load the arch Linux iso and mounted the flash drive into Virtualbox and installed onto the flash drive as if it was a regular HDD/SSD. The only annoyance was figuring out the bootloader for this particularly exotic way of installing Arch Linux.

After that I spent most of my time really just doing everything in a web browser for several months. I did this, because I wanted to have a less distracting computing environment where almost nothing was installed. The fact that games didn't run on Linux was supposed to be a feature, until I realized that they mostly run on Linux anyway. Then I bought a 512GB SSD and installed Arch Linux on it in 2018 and never even thought or cared about what Linux distribution I am using ever since.

Functional groups which work well together, include open sharing of research and ideas, persistence of best output, are dedicated to realism, and are more focussed on problem solving than status display, will be smarter. The group works like a filter which generates multiple solutions and selects, remembers, and abstracts the best.

Dysfunctional groups which do the opposite will be catastrophically stupid.

There have been plenty of dysfunctional groups in history.

I dislike apps and avoid installing them in general terms. They're bloated and frankly I have better things to store on my phone (mostly music, but also photos, conversation histories etc). I do not need an "app" for submitting a form. Looking at a website. etc etc

I'm 100% an outlier. My friends don't blink twice to install all manor of loyalty, news, social media, lifestyle, games etc etc and rarely clean up. It's all just choices and preferences - the world does not suit me.
Bluetooth mice work great with Android, despite not being a popular accessory for phones

In German there is "Mäusewein" which translates to mice wine. It's when you have bad microbes while fermenting wine and the product tastes a bit like mouse urine.

Not sure if that had anything to do with the origin of the emulator's name though.

Stop calling lootbox dispensers "games" please. I prefer paying for a game in advance instead of being monetized.

An LLM is, famously, a "stochastic parrot". It has no reasoning. It has no creativity. It has no basis or mechanism for true originality: it is regurgitating what it has seen before, based on probabilities, nothing more. It looks more impressive, but that's all is behind the curtain.

It surprises me that so many people expect an LLM to do something "clever" or "original". They're compression machines for knowledge, a tool for summarisation, rephrasing, not for creation.

Why is this not that widely known and accepted across the industry yet, and why do so many people have such high expectations?

Kai-Fu Lee describes the culture so well in AI Superpowers. The roots are well before GPU restriction. Absolute cut throat competition.

Imagine Sam Altman throwing a chair out a window in a meeting lol.

The message of AI Superpowers is that China will lag the US at first but once things stabilize this will happen because China has a lot more engineers and a lot more data.

Anyone who hasn't read AI Superpowers should really make it a point to read it in 2025. It is an incredible book.
When possible, sure, but this is often not viable. Just to give an example, looking for information on a local performance or exhibition. I can go and dubquote the name of it, but that still gives me 20 "authoritive" websites with vague info on last year's edition, not the few smaller local blogs that have info on this year's edition. Even if I add e.g. "2024". This got far worse since the December update, and many times there's no reasonable way to craft an arcane search query that fixes it.

Contributor to panel-graphic-walker and Panel here.

Its actually primarily a wrapper around graphic-walker https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker as we have optimized the implementation for Panel usage in notebooks and data apps.

Its built on Panel https://panel.holoviz.org/index.html which is "The Powerful Data Exploration & Web App Framework for Python". Its a fully open source and community driven project. Part of the larger HoloViz https://github.com/holoviz/holoviz ecosystem for data visualization.

My motivation for creating the panel-graphic-walker extension is that its one of the most powerful ways in Python to let users interactively, explore large datasets as it can send heavy calculations to the backend instead of transferring all data to the frontend.
I wonder if Time Travel Debugging would have helped narrow it down.
A small discussion regarding the industry:

https://ehs.org.uk/bees-in-the-medieval-economy/
Yeah; I've long argued that software should be divided into two separate professions.

If you think about it, lots of professions are already divided in two. You often have profession of inventors / designers and a profession of creators. For example: Electrical engineers vs Electricians. Architects / civil engineers and construction workers. Chefs and line cooks. Composers and session musicians. And so on.

The two professions always need somewhat different skill sets. For example, electricians need business sense and to be personable - while electrical engineers need to understand how to design circuits from scratch. Session musicians need a fantastic memory for music, and to be able to perform in lots of different musical styles. Composers need a deeper understanding of how to write compelling music - but usually only in their preferred style.

I think programming should be divided in the same way. It sort of happens already: There's people who invent novel database storage engines, work on programming language design, write schedulers for operating systems and so on. And then there's people who do consulting and write almost all the software that businesses actually need to function. Eg, people who talk to actual clients and figure out their needs.

The first group invents React. The second group uses react to build online stores.

We sort of have these two professions already. We just don't have language to separate them.

The line is a bit fuzzy, but you can tell they're two professions because each needs a slightly different skill set. If you're writing a novel full-text search engine, you need to be really good at data structures & algorithms, but you don't really need to be good at working with clients. And if you work in frontend react all day, you don't really need to understand how a B-Tree works or understand the difference between LR and recursive descent parsing. (And it doesn't make much sense to ask these sort of programmers "leetcode problems" in job interviews).

ChatGPT is good at application programming. Or really, anything that its seen lots of times before. But the more novel a problem - the more its actual "software engineering" - the more it struggles to make working software. "Write a react component that does X" - easy. "Implement a B-tree with this weird quirk" - hard. It'll struggle through but the result will be buggy. "Implement this new algorithm in a paper I just read" - its more or less completely useless at that.
That seems like the least "compromising" data, compared to other things we let them get.

Imagine there are whole countries out there where income is public and accessible to anyone ;)
Closer to the end the fonts became well nigh indistinguishable for me. I ended up with Roboto Mono but would probably be unable to distinguish it from close contenders on blind testing.

You still missed the part where I noted:

> These are specific scenarios with specific hardware optimized for each use case. Desktop Linux encompasses the sheer amount of available PCs and laptops that one might install it on, and there is a miles long list of “just about everything works except $x thing” articles.

This is and has been the thorn in Desktop Linux's side for the last ~20 years.

“As microbial and genetic discoveries were made, pathogenesis studies were required to integrate the new knowledge into useful clinical advances. Those advances include a creative model of enteric bacterial disease (Moon), demonstration of the transmissibility and pathogenesis of scrapie, a proposal that human kuru was a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (Hadlow), and the isolation of bovine leukemia virus (Miller) and bovine immunosuppressive retroviruses (Van Der Maaten)—5 years before AIDS and HIV appeared. Now modern molecular and genetic sciences and their applications in integrative, whole-animal biology make possible exciting advances for the benefit of both animals and people” [1].

Obsidian is an Electron app (I don't know if it belongs to the Block editor category). It loads just as fast as your app. I tried copying and pasting the text file War and Peace (66035 lines) from Notepad into both apps and, interestingly, Obsidian is slightly faster. Also, scrolling through this large chunk of text is slightly faster on Obsidian, too. Obsidian memory consumption (4 processes) is 172 MB and Daino Notes consumption (1 process) is 352.7 MB.

This is true of every voluntary social thing.
I kinda want to run some of our CEOs emails through summarizing, because I feel that there's a very real chance that I'll just get a black page back.

Other than that, I'm with you. The need for summarizing is a symptom of our increasingly poor communication and degrading writing skills. That, and SEO optimization which attempts to hit as many keywords as possible.

We're heading in a direction where people will use LLMs to pad their writing, so it will appear more substantial then it actually is. The receiver will then parse it though another LLM, because the writing has now become to convoluted, or they simply don't have the time for a ten page essay (in which case the none padded draft would have sufficed).

Admittedly I have found a few useful cases for LLMs, mostly related to text parsing and information extraction, which can be seen as summarizing I suppose, but mostly I have a pretty negative view of LLMs. Part of it may be me getting older and not fully understanding how they work, partly it's also their deployment in areas where I believe communication should be human to human.
Wait, there are only 400 social media networks?
The training of the LLM itself would still use the human language. But you could add an extra channel that's never given any text or direct dataset training. Keep it purely a connection between hidden layers of different instances of LLM and train using the usual loss of perplexity or similar metric.

The interesting thing then would be - does it converge to similar embedding space as the input, or can LLMs create a more efficient "language".
Your opinion. To me it seems like actual innovation, and delivery on the cost promise of EVs (vastly simpler internals, so they should cost less)

The west is going to screw around with tarrifs which will delay the inevitable for a few years, at massive cost to their consumers, while the rest of the world jumps ahead to cheap green cars.
No, it's the same. Cryptography is like a lock that you can overcome with mathematical force. It's just in different domain than physical objects.

If you know how the lock is built, you can rule out existence of master key for instance. You don't know if your TPM chip has API where three letter agency can just download the keys from it. You are in the dark.

Same with cryptography, you can choose the method, just like you can choose type of lock. There are locks that have not yet been picked, but you can use a hammer, similar with cryptography - you can use quantum computer etc.

Please stop making web apps, the web is for documents, not to be hijacked by Google in their attempt to wrestle personal computing from Microsoft.

This issue becomes even worse if you try to make software that can both be used with keyboard & mouse and on a small touchscreen. With very few exceptions, you end up with something that works poorly with both interfaces, instead of working great on one of them. Trying to do that in a browser rather than the OS only makes the issue worse (what happens when you press "Alt" ?).
The kernel side of drivers is already published under a FLOSS license, it's just that the code quality is usually subpar and the important changes are crammed into a tarball together with (sometimes) millions of other lines of changed code.

I find that the gushing around deepseek is fascinating to watch.

To me there are a few structural and fundamental reasons why deepseek can never outperform other models by a wide margin. On par maybe--as we reach the diminishing returns with our investment in the models, but not win by a wide margin.

1. The US trade war with china which will place deepseek compute availability at disadvantages, eventually, if we ever get to that.

2. China censorship which limits the deepseek data ingestion and output, to some degree.

3. Most importantly, deepseek is open source, which means that the other models are free to copy whatever secret source it has, eg: Whatever architecture that purportedly use less compute can easily be copied.

I've been using Gemini, chatgpt, deepseek and Claudie on regular basis. Deepseek is neither better or worse than others. But this says more about my own limited usage of LLM rather than the usefulness of the models.

I want to know exactly what makes everyone thinks that deepseek totally owns the LLM space? Do I miss anything?
