Small thing, but the article should have added how to pronounce Ojai. It sounds like “oh-hi”

Nice. Google's soundstream already has some great quality. Some examples at 6kbps here: https://google-research.github.io/seanet/soundstream/example...

This is cool. If you're wondering about top performers:

Had to look up the technique, Eguchi method, and it uses color rather than complicated musical notation to associate with each key. Interesting how those who have synesthesia naturally have this same color, key association.

I like this framing by Michael Hashimoto, on Prompt Engineering:

https://mitchellh.com/writing/prompt-engineering-vs-blind-pr...

Most of what we see on Twitter or YouTube is Blind Prompting. However, it is possible to apply an engineering mindset to prompting and that is what we should call prompt engineering. Check out the article for a much more detailed framing.

Dair AI also has some nice info and resources ( with academic papers) about prompt engineering.

This flexibility is a big draw. I can experiment with in memory, launch with cloud, and move to my own infra if I’m lucky enough to need that kind of scale.

Interesting read. I’m curious if anyone is familiar with the software they use to connect the genetic sequencing. I’m amazed that they can find migration patterns from this data.

A JavaScript app that automated the resolution of half of Twitter’s support tickets. Logic got refactored after a few years, but still used at Twitter. Probably saved Twitter about $10 million a year over the last ten years.

This probiotic at Costco also has reuteri, “trunature Advanced Digestive Probiotic”. 15$ per 100 caps https://www.costco.com/trunature-advanced-digestive-probioti...

Likely because it's considered "Googley" within the company.

This is interesting. Looks like the app might be just parsing this schema from the webpage and adding a nice ui.

Maybe you did and brought multicellular life back with you.

Lab grown pork from an Israeli company! Is this kosher?

So excited about your launch. Congrats! I’ve seen this issue of copy-pasting copy at nearly all the companies I work for.

In the paper, he recommends using a magnetic sail to slow the craft down from drag in the interstellar medium. Pretty fun stuff on page 6, 60 years to Alpha Centauri! Linked in the wiki or here, http://path-2.narod.ru/design/base_e/nswr.pdf

Sounds amazing, but how will we dispose of this? Looks like 760 C is required to form this. I imagine it will need to be heated above this to dispose of.

Large parts of Tacoma Washington are tribal land owned by non-tribe members and it functions. I would assume a similar arrangement would work in Tulsa.

I like this user-centric vision of the web where users are customers. We’re trained so deeply that ad supported is free, when really it’s just a deferment of costs. Companies always get you by adding marketing costs into their costs. Once Neeva cleans up their data policies, I’m al in with them.

If you’re in a store and see someone acting odd with gift cards, it’s ok to say something and try to help out.

I recently encountered an elderly woman fiddling with some purchased gift cards (at CVS) while talking to someone on her cell phone. They threatened to disconnect her power immediately if she didn’t pay for a new meter immediately. Luckily I convinced her to not share the numbers and hang up on the scammer. It took her a while to even trust me. Poor woman had no idea who to trust. I had her call the local utility who was super patient explaining the situation and consoling her.

Nice job! Have you done any load testing on it? Curious how much server to buy to run an instance with some usage.

I believe this is the recording of that Berkeley talk: https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleyBlockchain/videos/200606982...

Still a lot of implementation details to be revealed, but looks really interesting.

Ironically enough, it may be CPC ads themselves that allow people protect their attention. Browser add ons like Ad Nauseam, http://adnauseam.io/, automatically click on ads (after first being blocked) and ensure that there's a high price to pay for playing in the ad game.

That's the right way, but internet on landing was super convenient. I bought proper SIMs for the places I stayed longer than a few days, but did it outside the airport (cheaper and no lines) once I was settled in.

This is crazy. International roaming is one reason I switched to T-Mobile. I recently traveled through Southeast Asia and had usable internet throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam (looks like no more free internet in Vietnam). The internet was about 256-512 Kbps and was available even in rural locations. I also had access to my US number when I was on wifi - calls in and out. T-mobile coverage isn't perfect in the States, but overall pretty happy with the switch.

The most interesting part of the article, for me, is that they moved the nexus of their corporation from two tax free states to California. I doubt they realize the tax and legal implications of being residents rather than just visiting CA on holiday.

Site looks great and service too.

One tiny nit on the logo, you should use hexagons instead of pentagons. Lots of hexagons fit together nicely. Pentagons, not so much.
