2c2c2c··on The Onion buys Infowars
80% of republicans believe 2020 was stolen.

what's the standard now for a not close election? dems have to always win the popular vote now?

4 swing states were decided by a 1% difference. this election was close.

2c2c2c··on Nvidia Stock Rises. AMD's New AI Chip Is Not Competitive
is it naive to look at the market and just assume there's 500b of market cap screaming for amd to throw everythign at a competent cuda competitor and eventually see commoditization here? is this not possible (why hasnt this happened)?

I can recall AI being used to describe anything involving neural nets by laymen since google deepmind. approaching 10 years

It is significantly more likely your direct manager notices you being afk for 4 hours in an office vs at home. not complicated

does anyone really find RTO surprising? I know several people personally who just blatantly don't work. it's more obvious in roles where the work is less quantifiable, but even in engineering roles everyone hears stories

the alternative seems to be aggressively metricize and cut-- but that seems bad for different reasons

2c2c2c··on How does Shazam work? (2022)
pixel series since 6 has an option to passively listen and document songs by default. probably the only feature I miss moving to iphone
2c2c2c··on Quake Brutalist Jam II
it's a genre issue. these types of games will never be popular to most people given the alternatives now available
2c2c2c··on Norwegian ban on Meta behavioral advertising extended to entire EU
> then they even sell this to third parties

do they? isn't this the secret sauce?

2c2c2c··on Waymo Layoffs
what is the point of this comment? if i need to get to an appointment im not going to go take the bart, risking missing the interval or delays + walk a mile to get to my destination

theres obvious value in last mile transportation that trains will never provide. please go outside

2c2c2c··on Waymo Layoffs
this comment would make sense if there werent a fleet of 100 cruise and 100 waymo sucessfully operating for months in SF now
2c2c2c··on Strong static typing, a hill I'm willing to die on
This take is common, but personally never understood it. The typing is optional. Use it for the easy stuff and enjoy the low hanging fruit
2c2c2c··on Bun v1.0.0
they probably figure the developer velocity gained from using it over c++/rust is worth possibly having to make large refactors if a feature in the language is removed.

any tips on how to go about fine tuning a model?

I would like to test performance on a particular task. I can probably get around 100 hand trained example prompts -> ideal response

Not sure if this is enough to warrant retraining on top of the base model. or if I should just throw a few examples into the prompt itself.

Also unsure which source download I should start with if I intend to do retraining

just curious, are there any open models doing the opposite of audio synthesis? As in able to generate the stems for a song?
2c2c2c··on Make microservices look like monoliths
On a large/quickly growing team the risk is folks begin to not respect the modularity and you end up with just a regular monolith

Perhaps formalized abstractions around these barriers is a good idea? At the very least better than the 60 kubernetes services at my 100eng headcount team? :-)

2c2c2c··on FBI warns hackers are planting fake QR codes in restaurants
Love the newish square payment flow where you're handed a receipt with a QR code that directly takes you to a payment page. use apple pay and you're out in 20 seconds!

No idea how they know if you're dine and ditching though. Saw several places with this in NYC in march. Have only seen it at El Techo and Freekeh in SF.

would love to know more about you and your background. I always drill into these threads because I find peoples' perspectives on basic living necessities fascinating

do you live in a major city, or have any experience living in one?

it took me about five seconds to find a $2300 2bedroom apartment for rent in brooklyn. it's more optimal to rent this and roomate with a friend for split rent, but if you absolutely have to live alone you can probably get down to $1800 for a studio.

I believe you can turn the sound on it when you get that alert, although there's guides on how to remove the speaker
2c2c2c··on Red Canary Mac Monitor
I got excited hearing the comparison to procmon, misremembering it for process explorer.

Is there a mac equivalent to process explorer?
