Are you interested in working on cutting-edge high performance distributed systems? @dmazieres and I need a few more engineers to join our small team. We need all sorts of help -- c++/rust, typescript , smart contracts, ops, cryptography, and more. DM me if this sounds exciting!

AI code assistants can be super useful, but *please* don't YOLO your file system! These tools have been known to wipe entire drives. I'm excited to release a near-effortless way to reduce the blast radius: jai.scs.stanford.edu

Models I've checked out in the past month or so as I try to learn some of this stuff: • redpajama-7b • falcon-7b • replit-code-3b • mpt-7b • flan-t5-large up to flan-t5-xxl Any others? I'm largely just looking at approaches, supporting tooling, docs, etc.

@bgalbs I think, possibly, quite a bit more often than I’m comfortable admitting..

This LLM stuff has me super uneasy about how often my brain generates words that I say, and then work out why I said them. Ideally it’s gen’d by some subsystem that actually has a goal aligned with something self-serving, but… how often is it just… pattern matching? 😬

1/22 This is Svetlana Maniovich. She is your guide to the world of extreme Russian glamour. She radiates richness. Diamonds, furs, Rolls Royces - she has it all and more. In summer you can find her in St Tropez where she rents a villa for €150k/month, or on a yacht in Naples🧵

@auchenberg TIL “… often identified as being in the “growth phase” of the Millers and Friesen life cycle theorem or the “Direction phase” in the Greiner growth curve”. So it’s the point when a company starts creating jobs which I think is very euro to care about?

If Apple wants to show regulators that the App Store is a safe and trusted environment to warrant its monopoly on software on iPhone, this kind of stuff shouldn’t exist — let alone be topping the App Store charts. As a developer this makes me both mad and really sad.

@biji_sf I don't even remember what model they are because I did the little mod where you remove the plastic disc that said SR-80 or whatever.

These headphones are now 30 years old and aside from $15 foam pads every year or two and having to re-solder a wire once, they have been flawless, and I’m pretty sure could be the most used object I’ve ever owned. #photo #headphones #grado

@vvuk Same!! 😂 also I have to admit that on the pixel 7a it feels janky (jittery might be a better description) which I’m assuming is just that I’m now so used to 120hz refresh?

@philikon Same. Of course it makes sense, it’s a flame in open air, but it still surprised me. Commercial kitchens supposedly terrible in this regard. We switched to induction years ago (before learning this) and it’s great, mostly because I’m less likely to burn the house down. :)

Mastodon is feeling more and more to me like the armed rebellion of hackers that accelerated Linux and Firefox. There are lots of challenges with the protocol, implementation, UX, etc.. But when you start with a rebel alliance of hackers, code problems are jet fuel not friction.

Feels predictable that every one of these dreambooth-based generative AI sites built in a week by the valley bro industrial complex (😂) would almost immediately become soft porn sites, no?

@sintaxi be prepared for an experience that smells of linux desktop i.e. not-quite polished. but that's ok! also it's basically all turbo nerds and librarians. my kinda peeps, maybe not everybody's cup of tea (yet). lol

@sintaxi I did but stopped - the thing that's sorta cool about it is a server has a local feed and that's sorta your "tribe". You're in effect outsourcing moderation decisions when you join a server. I'm kinda digging it. Could get interesting.
