Hi Reader, Last week, I announced that a new course is coming soon and invited you to guess the topic. Hundreds of guesses were submitted, and four people who guessed correctly got the course for free! (I've already notified the winners.) I'll tell you about the course next week. In the meantime, I've got a new Tuesday Tip for you! π π Link of the weekβOpenAI just unleashed an alien of extraordinary ability (Understanding AI) If you're curious about what makes OpenAI's new "o1" models so special, I recommend checking out Timothy B. Lee's excellent analysis. π Tip #47: Upgrade your terminal applicationI've spent a fair share of time in terminal applications over the years, and have generally found them to be pretty bad:
A few months ago, I went on a hunt for a new terminal application, and found one that I really like: Warp. Here are a few of my favorite Warp features: 1. Navigate your history with "blocks" Input and output are grouped together in blocks, making it much easier to browse through your history. 2. Filter block output If your command generates a large output that you need to search through, you can filter the output within Warp (rather than exporting it to a file and filtering it in a text editor). 3. Customize your prompt (and everything else) You can edit your prompt with a drag-and-drop interface, and also customize a ton of other interface settings. 4. Browse previous commands When searching for a previous command with the up arrow, you can see all of your recent commands at a glance. 5. Open folders If there's a path in your output, you can Cmd + Click to open the folder directly from Warp. 6. And much more...

Hi Reader, Most of us access Large Language Models (LLMs) through a web interface, like ChatGPT or Claude. Itβs highly convenient, though there are two potential drawbacks: Cost: Some amount of usage is free, but heavy usage (or access to premium models) costs money. Privacy: Depending on the service, your chats may be used to train future models. (Or at the very least, your chats may be accessed if ordered by a court.) One solution is to run an LLM locally, which has gotten much easier with...
