I hope they fix issues on macos. It blows up my M1 MacBook Pro’s battery life. Their threads seem to lock the UX under heavy processing, with video/app stuttering and frames being dropped. Zoom on the other hand no issues whatsoever. S

This is the type of toxicity I experienced at most companies in a top third world country (that shall not be named). I worked there for about 3-4 years and people would try to make you feel bad or guilty for all kinds of things. Sharing you

This sounds like JavaScript: The Good Parts revisited. Agree with everything you’ve written. However, in the rare situation that one has to go down this path, a linter/static code analyzer can prove to be a life saver. Found some on th

TL;DR Sorry for the long comment. This should have been a blog post somewhere (but I don’t have a blog). Companies and people have a mutual agreement that either can walk away from. There may be a slight power disbalance in the company’s fa

On a slight tangent from the core topic.. > we are all 'stochastic parrots' like large language models, statistical generators of learned patterns that express nothing deeper, is a form of nihilism to mean: “life is meaningless

My scores are getting progressively better and I’ve reached 4481 by the 5th game! I guessed better with photos that had telling elements such as hair styles, clothing, cars, beards - and preferably more than one instance of them. Bigger sam

Username checks out. Jokes aside, I’m excited about any future additions to Fortran, esp. to make it appealing to direct data science use.

I’ve been following along Whisper.com’s incredible progress. It is a high quality piece of software which performs better on its intended hardware than any other implementation. It can easily be embedded anywhere. This is truly remarkable.

Do you have a family? I find that with a family + a young kid, a lot of my mental capacity/ability to focus for longer periods has diminished. Maybe you can pair with one of the other developers? If they are junior, they could benefit

I believe you. It’s a best kept secret even among Data Science folks.

The more I read about Fortran the more fascinated I become with it. Its treatment of arrays is similar to Pandas/Numpy. The performance is close to C without any optimizations. Without the pointer laden complexity and gotchas that come

It’s very likely this isn’t their first time running behind on rent.

I have both and I’ve often thought the same. There are so many symptoms in one that are synonymous with the other. Asperger’s is just a tad bit more on the socially awkward side: inability to understand social cues being a big one. I learn

We give ourselves (humans) too much credit. How does a child learn? By copying observing, copying and practice (learning from mistakes). ChatGPT differs only in that it has learned from the experience of millions of others over a period of

I respect your experience and opinion, but you’re missing the point here. VSCode delivered a fantastic user experience. It reached a product market fit other editors could only dream of (let alone any editor based on browser tech). This, mu

Yep. And he lives in a $40M penthouse apartment overlooking the ocean. That is sure to get people riled up (a jury - if it every goes to trial).

I should hope so. The timing of their intimate relationship will play a big part in the entire timeline. What a hot mess.

A true AI will not have one opinion. It will realize there are many truths - one persons truth is really a perspective based on their inputs which are different than another's. Change the inputs and you’ll often get a different output.

Pando shut-down? That’s a shame. They did some decent reporting, were my source of truth through my startup days (after TechCrunch sold to AOL, and it lost any credibility for me).
