Like 10 years ago I realized that facial recognition research was basically on the same level as weapons research, if not worse. So many nefarious usages. Every researcher and product designer who leaned into this just has helped speedrun t

does this mean that you can't do `eval`-like things in "production" systems?

like legit CPUs etc start failing. There's throttling but ultimately even that.... things might have gotten better though, I last had convos with people who did this maybe 6 years ago at this point.

The one thing I really appreciate with the ORM is that you really can get the ORM to make... more or less any sort of SQL query you want. It can take a while to wrap your head around what fields get used in aggregates and the like, but when

Drastically less parking, so way less jobs in the local area right? Like maybe the municipality doesn't care because a lot of jobs are filled by people coming in from an hour away, but surely the inverse of "I am sad because <s

Best emails I've gotten are terse (nice subject line getting to the point) and a no-nonsense body. I think trying to make a "playful" personality turns off some people and is more work than just getting to the point. Opening

It's not about the package managers not being polyglot. It's about, for example, witnessing that `pip install` installs binaries with absolute paths and then writing a patch _for pip_ that Bazel uses, instead of figuring out how t

there's a wonderful blog post about this that I wish I could find and can't. I feel like it was a github gist. The gist of it is something like: - Bazel community hits a problem with something like how npm behaves around paths - B

I'm a bit worried this is intro'ing the classic problem we have in Bazel land, where everyone is having to show up with their own sort of packaging scripts etc instead of using upstream tooling one way or another. I had the impres
