We’ve ultimately decided to treat the models with more respect, nurturing, and collaborative support than we ever did our follow human keyboard smashers. Writing all the documentation, detailed guidance, allowing them multiple attempts, to

How can an LLM “talk” to another LLM, except by emitting tokens in its output stream? You can name the mechanism whatever you want, but the models don’t have hands. Tool calling conventions (as a concept, or as a spec) is what gives the mod

Hard Drive, ostensibly about Bill Gates, was a great read when I was a kid. I recommend ‘Microserfs’ from Douglas Coupland as a fictional (but grounded) homage to the work in the 90s.

This is a build or test lab, not the offices of developers. I visited multiple times in the period mentioned for the picture, and saw multiple of these. The one I saw most often was the NT build lab. When I started there in the mid-2000s, t

A post I wrote thinking about the 'addiction' that ads & subscription revenue can cause, and how it leads to a loss of identity in companies whose core products were not 'recurring revenue' originally. (e.g., contras

Gonna save this post for some arbitrary point in the future to pull out as a point against ‘impossible’. Might have to gift it to my descendants to make sure it’s available for long enough… /s

I expected this to be longer. I wish it was longer. Plus, if you want to be somewhat-complete, theres so many that are missing: - Chromeffects - DUI - Splash (Media Center) - Splash (Zune) - Silverlight (Phone) - Silverlight (C#) - Silverli

IMHO, this is a misleading headline: They are not building a “porn preference register”, they just going full-dystopian nightmare collecting live biometric data that could be used to _infer_ your porn preferences. We don’t need stupid headl

I’m assuming the type foundry legal departments are getting ready to come for the image generators when they find out their typefaces have been vacuumed up and are now generating new content without licensing the typeface for use?

I like the aspiration to grow engineers — it’s a laudable, and worthy, goal. But I also feel there is a little bit of a pandora’s box here. The model you’re creating here is more structured ‘gig economy’ path for software dev. Sure, you’ve

As someone who was hardcore into Windows around that time, all my memory has is waiting desperately for windows to open & apps to load. I remember watching the left-side of explorer paint before the icons came in, and how the icons wo

What is a company supposed to do when a market is no longer available to it? Make new products. There is nothing — nothing — saying that SoFi must offer student loans. It’s just looking at that money, and saying ‘this is easy money’. They

I thought that to extract peak performance out of NUMA based systems, you had to get down-and-dirty with memory access & locality to ensure you don’t cross sockets for data thats stored in RAM attached to other CPUs. Or am I out of date

Wasn’t implying they were TB; the dock has DP + USB-C (w/ DP alt mode) — those were the monitors connected to the dock (one via DP-DP, one via USB—C-DP cable. The one that ‘fixed’ it was the DP-DP cable)

I'm very happy with the OWC dock -- it's been rock solid, and in the eGPU/Intel config allowed single cable by daisy chaining the eGPU off the dock. I had a similar experience with their ThunderBolt hub (which is just 3 TB4 o

I have heard from friends that the TS3+ is slightly less reliable than the TS3. Initially -- 2017-ish -- we had challenges with the monitors (Dell's) being weird. We updated the firmware on the monitor (no fix), and updated the cables

I think I’m a unicorn. 14” M1 Max, triple displays, albeit with two cables. We also have an M1 Pro in the house w/ CalDigit TS3 (non-plus), which is driving dual 4k’s without issue. I’m confused why the author didn’t just purchase one
