The coolest thing about this to me is that he managed to plug a trumpet into the same engine and it sort of... Just worked

This is a silly experiment inspired by a thought I always have when downloading large files: I've always wondered if there was any use for a system that only let's downloads progre…

I think the "successful arrival" framing isn't accurate. Or at least not comprehensive. Granted, "Commuter travel" vs "Leisure travel" are probably two quite different products. Ma…

huh I find this totally incomprehensible. Is this easier to read if you spend a lot of time looking at wiring diagrams?

have you ever googled a simple maths question? I often come back to that and realise we've been in this era for quite a while. Calculator would probably be 1000x more efficient!

why does it need access to my private repositories?

I'm always curious about the cost of these training runs. Some back of the envelope calculations: > Overall we reach a throughput of over 1900 tokens / second / TPU-v4 chip in our …

Do you have have any good examples of useful and visually interesting websites?

There are companies who will sequence your gut microbiome and give you actionable insights - full disclosure I work for one https://joinzoe.com/

It's all a matter of degree - of course complete chaos is antithetical to progress.

I think this is just the flipside of Moore's law and the exponential progress of computing across the last 70 years. I don't think you can realistically expect the benefits of rapi…
