Have you ever wanted to see what the computational graph of gpt2 looks like? No? Well, now you have

what is wrong with the Windows installer: 1) you must have a Microsoft account, 2) it asks you twice if you want to buy Microsoft 365 and 3) it asks you if you want their gaming subscription. Why can’t I just install the damn os without it trying to upsell me 😭

I have a love-hate relationship with LLVM. It hates me (gives me lots of SIGSEGVs) and I love it (Stockholm syndrome)

made it to Times Square! now back to building thanks @brexHQ for the support getting here

@LinkedIn @LinkedInHelp it's not even like I am asking them for some favor, I am literally begging to give them money and they... just don't want it

I have been trying to upgrade to LinkedIn Sales Navigator for 2 weeks now but get some error and their team keep "creating a ticket" and "someone will respond within 24 hours" and then... literally nothing. @LinkedIn's support (@LinkedInHelp) is literally the worst on the planet

codex is the only AI agent that actually manages to write high-quality compiler code consistently, but it’s sooo slow. please ship codex with cerebras @sama, I am desperate to burn tokens faster, I will pay like 3x per token if it goes brrrr

We're hiring a Founding Product Engineer. If we hire someone you refer, I'll wire you $15k. - Strong design taste - Experience with React/NextJS - Care deeply about user experience - Deep curiosity and drive to learn through experimenting 💵 $225k-275k base salary + equity

For anyone else trying to figure out how the fuck you got to 900 npm dependencies. It will take your bun.lock or package-lock.json and visualize it dependencies.sf.dev (Beware: this was created using Claude Code in ~20 minutes, so there may be some rough edges)

@harjtaggar both of these are from today and I honestly don't know how I feel about it

You probably don't want to tweet about Clawdbot reading your email for you, chief

was up all night emulating CUDA/PTX kernels step-by-step on a CPU might sound useless but it's actually a debugging miracle as you can step through the whole thing, see every register value and every instruction's results just ran a matmul, which works perfectly. i'm sleep

@alexfmac Cloudflare is great, never had a problem with them

I have many domains I will be switching from them. (Like all founders - many of the domains are unrealised dreams 😂) What is the most founder friendly alternative?

@peeleraja @grok identify the logical fallacies in this post

Terence Tao did not clear IITJEE and studied math in Flinders University, Australia. His salary at UCLA is barely $800,000 per year and he has not created any jobs. Deepinder Goyal aced the IITJEE and studied math at IIT Delhi. He is a billionaire today and created employment for millions of people. This is the transformative power of IITJEE. Even a non-engineer from IIT is a disruptor and innovator.

In all likelihood it would actually have fewer tech companies than it does today

Kind of funny that Europe would today have multiple giant tech companies worth hundreds of billions if it had implemented a Great Atlantic Firewall in the 00s a la China

Kubernetes is simultaneously one of the most amazing and most annoying parts of modern infrastructure

@HotAisle Nooooo 😭

RIP SLURM

@snwy_me you have to say a prayer right before you hit run and make regular sacrifices to the RL gods. at least that’s what I do and it seems to work

changed NOTHING and restarted the run and the model learned correctly, once again changed NOTHING and restarted the run and it's back to noise. how do you people do RL? how does it not make you want to tear your skin into tiny little shreds?

@matiNotFound plz no
