The fm CLI got a big upgrade in today's macOS 27.2 update!
You now get easy access to AFM 3 Cloud running on Private Cloud Compute (in addition to the on-device LLM), right from the terminal. Zero setup!

One of those things that seems simple but is way more complicated and annoying in reality is dealing with timestamps.
Here we have a fun deep dive on timestamps with Postgres and how British Columbia in particular highlights an interesting wrinkle.

Lots of people whining about getting rejected from elite schools despite their high ACT/SAT scores (lol), but live players with agency find a way in anyway. Some actual paths:
- 3-2 engineering: 3 years at a liberal arts college, 2 at an elite (Dartmouth, WUSTL, GT). Mira Murati did this.
- Backdoors like Columbia GS (arguably Barnard too) or Penn LPS.
- Transferring from feeder CCs like SMC, Foothill, or DVC into Berkeley or UCLA
- SUNY-contracted schools at Cornell (CALS, ILR) with higher admit rates but same Cornell degree
- Taking spring admission or first-year abroad offers at USC and NYU
… and many others. Chinese kids figured out the meta and have been exploiting these paths for years instead of crying on social media

In a joint paper with @OwainEvans_UK as part of the Anthropic Fellows Program, we study a surprising phenomenon: subliminal learning.
Language models can transmit their traits to other models, even in what appears to be meaningless data.

transit thoughts: something that bugs me a bit about the meme of "induced demand" and joking about "one more lane, bro" is that… sure, when you add another lane, traffic eventually comes back–but don't you at least have the +EV of "more people are able to go places they'd like"?
like look, we should strive for "people should be able to go where they'd like, within a reasonable time, while minimizing env. impact". ideally, that often means improving env-friendly options (transit, biking infrastructure, etc), and that should be the highest priority.
