1/ I am excited to announce the new Playground: Design graphics like a Pro. You can make T-shirts, Logos, Social Media Posts, and even invent new kinds of memes. Powered by our next image foundation model Playground v3 (beta). Go to playground.\com. No wait list.

@glcst @penberg Reminds me the very cross discipline work that @displague and @thebsdbox led for us back in the day. Really a key part of the product experience to get right!

I may open a new position for the Turso team. @penberg and I are debating if the person we are looking for even exists, but if you think you can prove to us that you can do this job, we'd love to chat. The job is to work on the Turso SDKs. The reason we find this position very hard is that you would have to understand Rust and C well enough to work on the interfaces and build systems of SQLite (not the database itself), write FFIs, understand how to build and link shared objects, and other low level stuff. But at the same time be comfortable working in higher level languages and ecosystem. Each ecosystem is very unique, and to thrive in each of them, you need to be able to understand not just how to code in that language, but details of the ecosystem. For example: in Javascript, many non-node runtimes make it essentially impossible to link to our binary, so you need to have an HTTP implementation. In go, it is possible to link to a binary, but that requires CGO, which the community dislikes. This requires much more than the technical ability to work in many languages, but the human empathy to understand those communities and what matters to each of them. We'd like to not only improve our existing SDKs, but also have SDKs for Swift, Dart, Java, Android, Elixir, you name it. Is this you? Do you exist? If yes... DM =)

Best feature regression yet!

@grhmc @rawkode @nixos_org @ProgrammerDude @Bashfulrobot You know a guy? ;)

@rawkode @nixos_org @ProgrammerDude @Bashfulrobot Yes. :)

Can someone who's a little better at @nixos_org help me? This module looks like it can't be successfully run, because it's trying to query an undefined option: espanso.wayland. This needs fixed at line 9, right? cc @ProgrammerDude @Bashfulrobot @grhmc #L18" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/…

@jimmyzelinskie Wonder what the folks @FrameableInc think about such dark magic?

would pay for a slack/ms teams bridge

@rawkode Anything we can help with David?

The only bit of colour left is the fire extinguishers. The doors in this photo are the only exit from my 4th story office, and also where the fire started. I'm very lucky I wasn't working when it started.

1/ We're excited that our friends at @perplexity_ai are using Playground v2.5 to let Perplexity Pro users make unique images on the fly to illustrate their searches. As we enhance our models, we're excited about the opportunity to integrate visuals with text to make it easier to follow your curiosity, because a picture speaks a thousand words.

The waitlist is no more! Fly GPUs are now generally available. Learn more here: fly.io/blog/gpu-ga/

@bcantrill @InvestLikeBest @sdtuck @zsmithnyc Roger that, and right there with ya. I was less interested in Etched (although kudos for swinging big!) than the thesis that specialized hardware + software + workloads will be so inclusive and broad. Exciting times for boring infrastructure, indeed.

@JacobSmith928 @InvestLikeBest @sdtuck @zsmithnyc Hmmm -- yes. While I want to see more startups taking a swing at hard problems, I find that I agree with the prevailing reaction on HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=386688…

What is a good, technical podcast/talk/interview on the HW/SW interface in ML/DL?

@bcantrill @InvestLikeBest @sdtuck I’ll be interested in your thoughts after you listen, especially from about 20 minutes in. @zsmithnyc and I had a spirited chat about the whole “custom silicon, paired with custom infra / datacenters, built for a specific model” thing.

@JacobSmith928 I have liked the episodes of @InvestLikeBest that I have listened to (and @sdtuck is a big fan!), so this is a great recommendation -- thank you!

@grhmc Wow, lovely!!

Meet Io.

We’ve started our second Demo Day! Let’s gooo @equinixmetal team 💥

Today is my 40th birthday. If my content has make you smile, laugh, learn, share, or even cringe ... Thank you for watching. For my birthday, I ask kindly that you sign up for our new website to get lots of new courses and tutorials launching soon. rawkode.academy

@grhmc It works for me! Of course I have a lot less meetings these days… ;)

@JacobSmith928 This thing looks amazing, does its meeting integration live up to what it suggests?

Anyone have a favorite USB-C hub?

A few of you asked me how I managed to "slice" up a bare-metal machine into a 60 node K3s cluster. Here's 4x slides explaining the problem/solution and a demo of the "slicer" in action with Firecracker #virtualization #kubernetes #performance #testing youtube.com/watch?v=o4UxRw…

On today's @openfaas community call, I'll be showing a 110 node K3s cluster running across 4x m3.large.x86 from @equinixmetal using Firecracker There's 5 HA server VMs, the rest are worker VMs The goal will be to deploy over 10k distinct functions docs.openfaas.com/community/

I just came across a great tutorial on how to deploy @tursodatabase to @gokoyeb: koyeb.com/tutorials/buil… I love how most of the tutorial is just really writing the application. Deploying to Koyeb itself is just a couple of lines
