interesting to read the reactions here regarding wfh even though it was less than a minute of the whole conversation. all i would say about that is this: it appears that we haven't found a way that has made "better" working c

there seems to me tons of gatekeeping in this field to put it blunt. but if you want to mix full stack with AI/ML use cases, i think it might be a good idea to just keep track of high-level news and services that allow you to interface

as a "youtuber" (yet to paid for their videos), SW was from my memory the only public leadership face of youtube. being ignorant to her role in the parent company, i like many directed all of our frustrations of the platform at he

completely valid, but i would like to think the org is still designing for accessibility for newbies in mind. like you said, the connector does not have to follow the standards. i have seen hdmi ports being used to carry pcie signal (not a

devil's advocate: cables for an average user is a different story. also not to forget the vast range of cables already existing out there. also "proper" usb-c support is another can of worms, and maybe sticking to an older st

decent phone from past 5 years are excellent candidates for stuff like this, but i personally did not find much use besides basic stuff like an FTP server. for content, i had a budget android phone whose battery swole within a year of use.

the underlying assumption for these systems for most people seems to be that all songs are treated equally. this is clearly no longer the case for any major streaming platform. their own logic to promote might be too egregious now. same see

having been through this stuff recently, i find that "speculative application" is a wasted opportunity for all this "AI" bs. if both sides are going to blindly spam with llm, why not only send one application and let the

document search, an llm use-case almost all companies want for their white-collar workers, currently follows creation of a RAG. vector search is the first step of the process, and i argue that getting top n results and letting the user proc

the way these models are being pushed, it seems like more of one-upping each other through iterative improvements than actual breakthroughs. these benchmarks are as good as random hardware ones apple or intel pushes to sell their stuff. in
