This is honestly wild. 99% of devs would have found a work around and moved on. Going so far as to create a multi-kernel test bench to narrow down the source of the instability is a level of dedication I have not personally seen, and I resp

Yeah "Millennial qualified to be on a board" is almost certainly not bringing a "Millennial perspective" to said board.

When you know the underlying consumer is an AI model, you can do a lot more to make the input data useful.

I shot a .50 a couple times and didn't feel much of anything tbh. Less of a shockwave than fireworks on July 4th.

Is this true or a bit of humor? Of the three startups I worked for, the one that had the best exit also had the best code. Ime shitty code hamstrings startups into slow execution during the growth phase, and kills them despite pmf, because

I could not agree more. Fentanyl enforcement is obviously not feasible to anyone that has been, or known, an addict. Its incredibly cheap to buy, and you can store enough to kill 1000 people in a bag in your pocket. You might as well have c

I could be wrong, but it is probably using json encoding for the object body, and implementing the transport for grpc instead of http. Proto objects support json encode/decode by default in all the implementations I've seen. http

Os that due to some thermodynamic scaling trade off or just a matter of fault tolerance (i.e. we cant machine them well enough at that scale to be as efficient)?
