The model is compiled for apple silicon/metal with 4-bit quantization using mlc-llm https://mlc.ai/mlc-llm/ which uses TVM Unity https://tvm.apache.org/ under the hood.

Default stable diffusion XL 1.0 via the HuggingFace Diffusers API prompted with something along the lines of "Digital illustration of a cyborg llama tarot card reader for an app store icon" then copied & resized via ImageMagick convert.

The marketing copy for the app store was generated by the same model (vicuna v1.5 7b) that is used in the app itself by hardcoding the prompt inline and running it locally.

Requires 4gb of ram to run inference so iPhone14, iPadPro or Mac only. We don’t call them “small language models”.

In hindsight I should have used UE instead of SceneKit.

vicuna v1.5 7b

"System D, arguably, reached its heyday in the Victorian-era railway hotels, where the menus were huge and it was not unusual for an extra two hundred guests to show up wanting, say, the Fricasse of Lobster Thermidor — for which only fifty portions were available. Suddenly, Thermidor for fifty was transformed into Thermidor for two hundred. Don't ask how. You don't want to know."

not reading yuds unless it takes the form of of harry potter fanfic

what’s so bad about reading some Harry Potter fanfic in the polycule?

I am not a fan of how et-book looks on windows, especially firefox.

You’ve climbed ten thousand steps in search of the Dharma. So many long days in the archives, copying, copying. The gravity of the Tang and the profundity of the Song make heavy baggage. Here! I’ve picked you a bunch of wildflowers. Their meaning is the same but they’re much easier to carry.

I don't know about this one, HR (or the lack thereof) in silicon valley has a pretty strong track record of evil.

the tyranny of structurelessness is arguably worse because there will always be hierarchies and in a so-called flat org they just become invisible and unaccountable

Figure out JSON de/serialization yet?

“Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.”

No such thing as “staff” when the headcount is 2.

Happening in golf now too.

I am experiencing something similar on the App Store. Apple’s almost completely useless App Store Connect analytics report a significant percentage or occasional spike of unit downloads via web or app referrer with no way to dig into what site or app is linking to the app. I don’t want to add any external analytics for privacy protection though and google isn’t much help anymore.

Pair programming is a very effective agile bodyshop sales ploy: twice the price for less than half the mediocrity.
