@illyism Laat maar weten wanneer je in Japan bent!

@gaijineers I learned on the job where I had 1000s of GPU instances available 😅 at home you’re kinda limited with what you can do. I did play around with vLLM on a 3x3090 GPU machine, but you can’t do a whole lot with that.

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@gaijineers My previous team at Indeed and I saw there’s a model serving team at Woven by Toyota. I’m sure companies like Mercari and SmartNews also have teams like that.

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@gaijineers There are also some teams in Japan doing inference for traditional (prediction) ML models. For these you’ll want to focus less on LLM foundations and more on the infra side of MLOps (Triton, KServe, PyTorch, Kubernetes, etc).

@gaijineers If you want some other follow up books in this subject:
* https://t.co/WvyvcCDRwW
* https://t.co/OXS0YJKT2B
* https://t.co/7gRrmhWsLE

All of these plus the book you linked should give a pretty good foundation for LLM inference/LLMOps roles.

@filipminev Congrats! Another Ghent success story 😊

@Jyosua Wasn't Nomura for me, was some kind of small property management company (this was back in 2017, quite a while ago).
CC bills are tricky too, very high interest rates. I don't really have any advice apart from trying to avoid リボ払い as much as possible.

@yifever Gotta go to the inaka, lots of big dogs there. Our local dog park in Tokyo has a couple huskies/labradors and a lot of regular sized shibas, but the majority of them are small :(

@oxfrancesco_ @peer_rich It took me a good while to get used to am/pm. Not all countries use this system. I would have appreciated an extra indicator like those icons when I was still getting used to am/pm.

@Shun19841212 @yohira_dev 確かに、計画的頑張らないと難しいかもしれません。

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@Shun19841212 @yohira_dev 正しくキャリアプランを作れば5年目で700万以上そんなにハードル高くないと思います。そういう仕事を受かるために準備はもちろん必要です。2〜3年目から転職のために自分を正しくポジショニングしていくことが大事です。

@scarecrowEng The demo as-is is not really supposed to be useful, just demonstrate what is possible text layout. Nobody is seriously gonna animate text this way, but it does open up different kinds of effects or animations that change the text layout interactively.

@sakamoto_582 今の時代でEMになるのは勇気が必要ですね、最近めっちゃリストラの対象になってる気がする。頑張って！後でICに戻りやすいからいい経験になるかもしれない。

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@JasnTru This code is fine tbh, it’s very clear what it is doing.

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@huff_ee @airkatakana IIRC the JLPT only claims equivalent in passive ability because there is no testing of active abilities. IMO this makes the comparison useless as they are two completely different things.

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@airkatakana @annecrescini Tbh I wouldn't expect everyone to get a perfect score, but they should definitely be getting a score close to it if they graduated high school. It's more of a reading comprehension test which not everyone is good at.

The language on the N1 is not that difficult if you can read.

@yifever How do you not have a personal credit card yet? Haven't you been here for a couple of years already?

[Anton Van Eechaute @antonve_be]

@BlackNinjaBob Same here... not exactly double yet but getting close to it. Just hoping it will stay this high when I sell our unit 😂
