I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

@OrdinaryInds My brother in Christ I think the software engineers on X would cache the result you dimwit. Articles can be updated. Much easier to summarize once on first call, fetch cache result afterwards

Why isn’t this done on article creation? You’re calling an LLM every time the user requests a summary? One call vs. 100k.

@tszzl Roon as your most devoted reply guy I must strongly disagree. Read all 6 Dune books 3x each. The movie characters are stronger (Movie Chani >>> Herbert’s 1D Chani), world building is more focused. And Calamet can toe the line between boyish innocence and prophetic gravitas.

the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

@tonydehnke @liquidai Been using it for a local voice assistant. Can do wake word detection, LLM tool calls, voice synthesis all on my 24Gb RAM Mac

@deterministic_d @liquidai What do you think it will be useful for? What have you tried so far?

Just got this set up on my 2024 M3 MacBook Air with 24Gb of RAM. MLX build. 12Gb total memory footprint with 1-4 second response time for simple prompts. This memory footprint is insane! I didn’t expect any local model to even work half decent on this Mac. Well done @liquidai

@mmatthias @liquidai Yeah look at the Liquid docs it goes into how to do tool calls

@deterministic_d @liquidai Does it have toolcall?

“your penis is small, mark” “OH YEAH? well yours is big”

@nikitabier @0x45o This is the correct approach. The algo is a mirror gives you what you want. You fall for the attention span trap, that’s on you

@0x45o My job is to increase unregretted time spent. Every tap, every word must be intentional and valuable to the user. If you get sucked into bad content, that’s time taken away from a conversation you could be having elsewhere.

wasn't the point that they are long reads and therefore force people to spend more time on the platform?

@jaredisathome @bgurley My dentist appointments etc do have the word unsubscribe in them lol

@deterministic_d @bgurley Literally filter every email with unsubscribe in the text - lol

I fear that AI has decimated the traditional email inbox as we know it. Too many personalized emails slip through spam filter. Hope someone builds a better mousetrap. This one is cooked in its current form.

@staysaasy This is a great write up and something I feel as well having been in large and small orgs. But my most controversial opinion is that, while friction and saying “no” is 100% the mark of a mature staff, the median staff/principal is just addicted to saying “no” out of laziness.

When I was at BigTech, the thing that made me eventually quit was a debate about database usage. I was writing an internal tool to do a bunch of database operations for SREs. They previously all had their own yolo scripts and one of them caused a major incident. So I write this tool and am using our default database library and it just absolutely sucks. Is so slow. Cannot do things fast enough because it’s building queries so dumb. So I open this super large PR and my VP personally reviews it and leaves about fifty comments. I won’t fix all of them but like two. I gotta ship this. So my manager is like dude you can’t won’t fix ever comment from the VP. And notably we can’t go around the database library. I’m like dude it’s dumb. It’s slow. It makes my code trash. So my manager sits me down with our two most senior engineers and they’re like yeah dude you gotta use the database library. The answer is to use it and make it faster, not code around it. And I quit like a month later. Now, as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized two things. First, they were totally right that I should have used the default library. Having sprawling one off code and not using standard patterns is a disaster for software organizations. But, they should have just fixed it. They could have looked at the tooling, debugged the slowness, and had it fixed in a day. They took a ticket to fix it and it didn’t get done before I left. Sometimes the org is right. Sometimes it’s wrong. Sometimes it’s both at the same time.

@TheBTCTherapist Ah, bummer. Maybe you could monetize one of the other 3 Bitcoin accounts you use to cross-promote this account.

people misunderstand the icarus story. the problem was not that he flew too high. it's that the wings were made of beeswax, which offered very little resistance to heating. with modern materials he would have had no problems. we can fly as close to the sun as we want now

@alexaldente Absolute banger

The egg I’m poaching:

Just to be abundantly clear: It only appears on Replies and it will be used purely for ranking & personalization of that section. The Reply Algorithm is currently is the worst product in the company. There is no logic, no signal, just garbage. Replies could be ordered randomly with crypto spam at the top and it would probably be better than the current system.

log (😅) = 💧log 😄

dune 3 is only the "epic conclusion" because they're too scared to make a movie that's just two straight hours of a sandworm arguing with jason momoa

@PalmyrPar Lady Jessica uses her Bene Gesserit magic to control what sperm reach her egg so it literally was all her. She had a son against the Motherhood’s wishes

Duke Leto was shooting nothing but terrifying anomalies into Lady Jessica. Absurd.

@sama @boneGPT I’m bullish on OAI hardware device, I think y’all will crush it. Best of luck. The future is gonna look weird

@boneGPT We are not shutting it down, quite the opposite! I think you will love what the team is building.

imagine paying 6.5 BILLION DOLLARS to hire Jony Ive only to pivot away from hardware without launching a single product gotta know when to fold em but damn 6.5 BILLION

Neverrrrrrrr Everrrrrrr underestimate how much of a blessing it is to have zero health problems and your mom still alive.
