In the beginning, Docker DID have "standalone mode" where it would launch just one container as a child process. That was actually an easier way to manage the mounts and cgroups necessary to stand up a container. I made a ticket t

I was using gevent to get async benefits in Python 10+ years ago. It's a much nicer programming paradigm than async/await, in my opinion. Now working in Go where the same pattern is built into the language, I'm even more conv

Krispy Kreme donuts is my favorite example of this. When they opened their Utah store and turned on the "fresh" light they'd get people lined up out the doors. Then they started putting their boxes of donuts in every gas stat

What did you train the model on? Assuming it was trained on all the music online, without permission, it's kinda shitty to take all musicians' work like that and use it to make a product to put them out of business. I draw a disti

What marketing department on earth is going to pay for an ad campaign so subtle that they can't even tell if it's running? Ad budgets aren't bottomless. People making decisions about them have a lot of options for where to sp

I know it's practically cliche to say so these days, but that picture is giving strong AI vibes. Look at the joints between the big beams. If you needed beams that large to hold up a building, you wouldn't cut them in the middle l

Thank you for doing this work, though. My first stab at trying ChatGPT last year was asking it to write some Rust code to do audio processing. It was not a happy experience. I stepped back and didn't play with LLMs at all for a while
