Quick Note – I didn’t read through as many items this week, so this is an extra short list. I’ll get back to my regular reading schedule in a week or two.
o1 isn’t a chat model (and that’s the point)
By Ben Hylak
I thought this was an interesting observation about how to get the most out of o1/o1 pro. I hadn’t really been making too much of a distinction between o1 and 4o as far as how I prompted. I’ve tried this approach a few times now and I do get more useful answers. It’s not bad with a “regular” prompt, but it does seem to be more helpful when you don’t guide it to the answer.
I Ditched the Algorithm for RSS—and You Should Too – Joey’s Hoard of Stuff
By Joey Einerhand
I’ve been using RSS for a very long time. I usually use NetNewsWire, but my usage is really just blog feeds. I like the idea about even pulling RSS for Reddit and several other sites. I have an automated MailBrew-like tool that pulls Reddit & Hacker News and emails me each day, but I’d prefer that to be in RSS…I hadn’t really thought about whether that was possible or not. This gives me several ideas about new RSS sources I should be using.
