Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Not being able to deploy to the most powerful devices is a real constraint of actually using the API

The weather ones are so annoying: "Is it going to rain today?". "It looks like it's going to rain today". "What time is it going to rain today?". "It looks like it's going to rain today".

Very good piece. It really does feel different this time. Lots of McKinsey BS about job creation...but where?

Agree. I’m seriously thinking of starting a GradCert in October thanks to his teaching.

Recently did London to Auckland (via SF) with United and selected 'Asian Vegetarian' as my meal. Best decision I've ever made travelling long haul: curry wins hands down over bad pasta or the grim 'chicken or fish'

This is a pointlessly religious dimissal of the comment you're replying to. Yes, there's a counterfactual to the comment but this sort of mysticism is ridiculous.

I think OP is more disappointed in the base get rich quick hype that’s blown up, after obviously hoping for a bit more of a cultural renaissance.

Definitely true on the whole, but perhaps identity is not the most productive lens to look through. As a white expat/immigrant to the UK, I think it's more about whether you've committed to never returning. It's a very d

I feel like we're the same person (8 years for me though). But of course, this is by design and exactly how the most powerful people here want it. It's an endless struggle at the moment between love of our life in London and feeli

Um, really? You think your average 'growth hacker' who is using ChatGPT to exponentially increase the amount of SEO junk they can churn out is checking each answer before they press publish? Purity, accuracy and relevance of data

But there’s almost no way to tell at scale which part of the training set is your novel, useful stuff and which is pure bullshit.

Auckland had the same thing with art and a fun party and music diy scene from the late 2000’s through early 2010’s. Extinguished by the property bubble by about 2015. Lots of fun at the time. Bit of a wasteland now.

Came here to say this. Go through the actual course methodically though - readings, summaries, problems solutions. It's incredible. Miles ahead of coursera equiv. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06sc-linear-algebra-

They’re fine with a stroller mostly. From personal experience around Hackney, Islington and Haringey.

Cars literally kill people. They don’t always block the pavement. They deliver far more to the city than they inconvenience. I say this as someone who has to push a stroller around.

The API is fine and quite flexible. There are things that are very annoying (hello deploying updates from sandboxes to the production instance), but the APIs work, are generally well documented and have lots of options to generally get what

Just spent a few days there and man, talk about living off past beauty. It sure is one of the most beautiful urban environments in the world: the geography, the variety of the architecture, but fuck me, so expensive and just weirdly hostile
