Looks like it affected Vercel, too. https://www.vercel-status.com/ My website is down :( (EDIT: website is back up, hooray)

Yeah, my experience has been similar. On the one hand, it's exciting to have new features every few months. Some of those features very much so addressed pain points in my code and I was excited to adopt them. Other times, changes were

Why not keep going and write the assembly to truly get the performance you could eek out! Who needs increased efficiency through layers of abstraction :p

Someone didn't live through peak Bootstrap and it shows. :p What's old is new again. (also I think you can get far more variety from LLM-designed website with just a tiny bit of inspiration in your prompts)

I think the answer, like almost everything in software engineering, is, "It depends." How well defined are your requirements? Do you need/want a prototype to play around with to get a better perspective on your needs? What sc

So this is like that fish camera thing where humans would identify when the fish ladder gate needed to be opened to let fish through, but this time it's for feeding stray kitties? Or maybe there's no human interaction? I don'

I have a 120" ALR projection screen, 4K UST projector, modular semi-circular couch that seats 12 and a decent sound system. I host ramen + movie nights where I make some ramen from scratch and we watch a sci-fi movie together. I also d

Gotcha, thanks. I did skim the article to try and find that but I missed it.

Sorry about the impact on your son, but that's a hilarious story.

Hummm. Okay. I guess I'm aware of this for like, grocery pickup or calling ahead for something like a BestBuy order, but I always envisioned those things being situations where the customer parks in a parking lot out in front of the st

Sorry, I'm confused. I think it's totally reasonable to expect the customer to pick-up the food from the Waymo by walking to it. I feel that's what you were responding to, but I'm interested in the dynamic between the re

I guess I'm not quite as doom and gloom about this as you. Population demographics are trending downward in advanced societies and the trend is worsening. Finding solutions for the reduction in low training required workforce is necess

Who takes the food from the restaurant to the Waymo? The restaurant employees? Or is this more akin to the drone model where a Dasher is still involved and transports the food from the restaurant to the autonomous vehicle?

Do you never entertain guests with your home theater system? I believe you when you say that it could replace the experience for yourself, but, at least for me, hosting with my home theater is the main driver for improving it.

I guess I was much more interested in being able to work with an LLM to create good, synergistic Commander decks and less interested in generating custom Magic cards. I'm sure I can dig up info on how to do this and piece it together,

yes to both. absolutely requires longer training time and more compute. once trained, predictions need to hold through many more steps because each step processes one token. if a token early in a sentence heavily implies a token will occur

ELI5 for anyone else (I had to have this explained to me): When you train a language model, it tries to predict the next token. We measure how good it is at that using loss aka how surprised it was by the real answer. Different models might

This makes sense, right? It's a relatively novel thing to be writing. I don't find it to be a damning remark like other comments here seem to be concluding. If anything, the fact that Karpathy reached towards Claude/Codex in

Didn't they offer free compute? IIRC all free compute on the Internet went away with the advent of cryptocurrencies as it became practical to abuse the compute and translate it directly into money.

Wow, what a lucky fluke to have caught it. Makes me wonder how much construction material has contaminated materials in it that go undetected.

You bet that it becomes increasingly likely to regress to the mean as prices diverge and step in/out as you factor those odds into your bet. The solution isn't binary. You don't have to be fully exposed/unexposed to the
