Bookmarked (and appreciated!) solely to let me be lazy and send a link instead of repeating the same speech to other devs.

This sounds suspiciously close to the "we are in no danger except for a bank run" statement from SVB right before the FDIC took over.

They obliviously missed an opportunity to call it "Roxy" and avoid the unfortunate current name collision...

"Why are so many (of .003% of the male population)..." This feels like some kind of weird PR resurge effort to promote a fake trend into real popularity, for who or what reason I c…

Not a finance guy but I think that would literally be the opposite of how banks work. They have to lend out customers money in various forms, including giving that money to other c…

We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week...

Basically "We've got so many empty desks you'll have to share them until we have more people filling desks...". The quote here was interesting though: Pichai said in a companywide …

Should probably mention you can do this outside of Stability.ai's system (selfhosting) for those interested: https://github.com/benrugg/AI-Render and this one, I beleive: https://g…

Zodiac was great! The description of the effect on the consumers of the PCB-tainted items (not a spoiler) was spine-crawling.

I'm of the opinion that officials who declare a site is "safe for habitation" or whatever it was termed originally should personally guarentee this by habitating onsite for at leas…

Ever since they decided to paywall I've been skipping them as the actually valuable content can often be found elsewhere. Even more of a reason to do so now. I'm sure some will dec…

I'm with you there on hoping for more concentration on local training and inference, especially on something like the new Orin (open to donations, NVidia!). I think there's still s…

Been asked here before, but this was interesting: https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/szqq5m/gptj_is...

Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell also use this technique, making some of the most amazing paintings because they're grounded in real anatomy and references, instead "this looks about r…

Let them play NES, classic games like Super Mario World. Then show them the same games on the emulator FCEUX, specifically the hex editor (for glitching the game by plonking number…

Absolutely loved Principles so much that I bought copies for my team members and some leadership. I implemented small measures of radical transparency with the teams I managed wher…
