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

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 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

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 Or am I out of date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)
