    The holds are not "extremely" taxing, I would say. The tremors can be induced through a simple 7 step sequence of holds like wall sits or calf raises. There are walkthroughs on You…

    If it’s a big corp, they probably have strict data exfiltration policies for corp email. Maybe this one email would have been fine, but if it gets tripped, it’s not worth the heada…

    There’s a cool CSS vignette effect on this webpage that I hadn’t seen before.

    I used to work in a monorepo of that size. All of the PRs I ever submitted touched a handful of files in my project’s subdirectory.

    You need to pay meta if you have 700 million users as of the Llama 3 release date . Not at any time going forward.

    One of the coauthors here. I’ll be hanging out in the thread to talk about evals. I spent >50% of my time designing and advising on them at one point.
