[@gla](https://mastodon.social/@gla) A couple of months ago, someone told me they allow the LLM to create its own file and use a diff tool to jump quickly from typo to typo. I think if I switch to a new system, that’s what I’ll go with.

But I would like to see your system if you have it posted somewhere.

Flexoki 2.0 introduces 88 new colors that feel like watercolor pigments on paper. This is a continuation of my attempt to bring the feeling of analog color to digital emissive screens.

Flexoki is open source under the MIT license, and already available for most text editors, terminals, and many other apps. Flexoki 2.0 makes it into a more capable color system for UIs and more complex projects.

I built a new plugin for LLM called llm-jq, which lets you pipe JSON into the tool and provide a short description of what you want, then it uses an LLM to generate a jq program and executes that against the JSON for you <https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/27/llm-jq/>

Example usage:

llm install llm-jq
curl -s 'http''s:api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues' |
llm jq 'count by user login, top 3'

"Evaluating LLMs is a minefield"
Arvind Narayanan & Sayash Kapoor
<https:www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/talks/evaluating_llms_minefield/>

"In short, many things can go wrong when we are trying to evaluate LLMs’ performance on a certain task or behavior in a certain scenario.

It has big implications for reproducibility: both for research on LLMs and research that uses LLMs to answer a question in social science or any other field."

Great slidedeck!
