The paradox of self-explanation in the light of AI

A smart person once said: if our minds were simple enough such that how they work could be explained then we would be too simple that we couldn't. There's an inherent paradox within human intelligence (unless someone comes up with a perfect explanation I guess) but - with AI- we can at least explain how they simulate intelligence. I thought this was worth pointing out.

Why are clothes sexy?

The need to enhance attractiveness artifcially seems to go completely against natural evolution so the phenomenon of finding certain clothing sexy is a bit anomolous innit?

Huge model loaded on my Spark

This clever chap created a way to intelligently load a 284B model (deepseek-v4-flash) Compatible with Sparks and Macs. Tested it- works beautifully. If nothing else it is a innovative model management and quantisation technique.

Reprises in Albums

Don't you just love it when the boys compose reprises (repeated musical themes) I know there are at least three- Duke's End reprises Guide Vocal; Los Endos reprises Dance on a Volcano and Squonk (thank you for the correction) and Im sure there are several in The Lamb but I can't put my finger on them. Do y'all know of more?

Employment propsects for amateur devs

I have never been a professional developer but have always been "dev-adjacent"- I have written code, scripts, api-using examples etc as a technical account manager. Now I am self-training on LLMs (testing out local models on my DGX Spark for example and loving every second of it) my question is- in the "new economy", will healthy appreciation of model parameter optimisation (or similar experience) be a sought-after skill? Many thanks.

Stevie Nicks and George Harrison having a casual jam session in Maui, Hawaii, around 1978. George was working on material for his upcoming self-titled album, and the two spent hours just sharing music and collaborating. You can see Stevie writing away in her notebook while George plays.
