I am an AI researcher at Decart, where I work on real-time generative video and multimodal models. Previously, I worked on brain-inspired computational model...
I try to keep my email inbox as clean as possible. The rules are as follows: I never subscribe to newsletters or blogs via email. I always prefer RSS, and if that’s not available, I use Feedbin newsletter support to convert newsletter emails into RSS feeds (consider also Kill the Newsletter! as a free alternative). Email should not be the gateway to news or new information, that’s what I use RSS…
A week ago, ARC-AGI-3 came out. A third benchmark in a series trying to measure the gap between what AI models can do and what humans can do. The basic idea is to find tasks that are easy for humans but hard for AI. I think it is one of the most interesting benchmarks in recent years for model progression, both because of what it measures and how it measures it. In previous episodes: ARC-AGI-1…
I have been training in the gym for a few years now, mostly doing strength training. A nice side adventure that comes with it is trying out new apps to track my workout metrics. While the real purpose is doing the actual training, I cannot deny the joy of trying new apps and tech, and admit that it motivates me to do even more. For the past two and a half years, I have been using the Hevy app. It…
Coding is solved right? Everything is great, AI is replacing us, we just need to press “allow”. But on which model? Which agent? Coding agents move fast, and every Tuesday another great model is now the golden standard. Codex 5.3 xhigh? Of course it is better than Opus 4.6, but make sure to use it only with the Claude Code harness okay? Also, have you tried Gemini Pro 3.1? The problem is there is…
I haven’t written here for about six months. The idea always seemed to be drifting away from me, and there was always some excuse to put it off and say, “Not today, maybe tomorrow.” A huge source of this feeling for me is the need to put everything in its right place. Things have happened and my life has changed; how can I post about some random thought without updating my home page? Dependencies…
Two weeks ago, my friends and I started a competition to reduce our phone usage. Each morning, we’d share screenshots of our iPhone Screen Time, and whoever spent the most time had to pay up. We all love to talk about how much we scroll on social media and how we want to be more intentional with our screen time. I’ve even written about it before . Putting money on the line made things real. I…
Browsers have always been an arena for fighting and flaming over why your browser is the best and has the most features, while all others are inferior and unusable. I’ve never liked to fight those wars (not with browsers and not with code editors, another hotly debated topic), and I’ve never really understood how people get so religious about their tech choices. So, first of all, use whatever you…
I remember the first time I learned about RSS. I was young, curious, and taking my first steps on the internet, exploring (mostly) tech blogs. I had this ritual: whenever I sat down at the desktop PC in the living room of my parents’ house, I’d move my mouse to the toolbar with my bookmarked websites and open them up, tab after tab, just to check each one for new content. So when I discovered a…
I am not a native English speaker. Although I read and write in English frequently, I am most comfortable with Hebrew, my native language. Growing up, I read a lot in Hebrew, which shaped my love for and knowledge of the language (is that one of the reasons I chose to study linguistics? Perhaps...). Given that, I find it odd not to spend most of my writing in Hebrew. So why am I writing in…
I have been eyeing iA Presenter for a long time. In general, I really like iA as a company. Their products feel thoroughly thought out, with every element in place for a reason. They are beautiful yet functional, and they have agendas that guide them. Even though I may not always agree with them, I appreciate that they have those agendas. iA Presenter is their version of a slides app, and it is…
