I am super familiar with the generative modeling space, have designed them and deployed to real prod, and I will say you’re right that generative modeling results can be hit or mis…

I saw this earlier, and while I’ve been using git for many years, I think this graphic made me understand git less. Maybe because most of my usage is committing and resetting thing…

I absolutely love it. Tried it for a few days on vacation because the resort had a few, then started doing it at my work gym, then bought one. I was an athlete in high school and c…

This sure is a lot of text, but I have no idea the context of what’s going on and haven’t heard any sort of controversy (though this seems related to _some_ controversy). I’m a lit…
