When you make a Bank ACH transaction, it’s literally just an SFTP upload.

Sent as a NACHA file, it's 940 bytes of ASCII text.

Bank-to-Bank transactions cost ~0.2 cents. As long as it travels via encrypted tunnel; it’s compliant!

Here’s how the quirky system works:

@OpenAI For every one of these examples are hundreds of thousands of failures at trivial problems. I’ve given up using it for work (code, maths, technical writing). It’s not worth the frustration. It’s quite fun to chat to, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@growing_daniel It's almost as if the people writing this article are going through all the motions of conducting a serious scientific and anthropological discussion of the Cargo Cult phenomenon, but in the end it's a crude fascimile because they lack a detailed understanding of the fundamentals

I look forward to my next Rust project as it’s been a while.

But it will probably not be a “build fast”, iterative design, interactive graphics engine and GUI framework. Probably.

Why does ChatGPT work so well? Is it “just scaling up GPT-3” under the hood? In this 🧵, let’s discuss the “Instruct” paradigm, its deep technical insights, and a big implication: “prompt engineering” as we know it may likely disappear soon:👇

@PhilSzostak Don’t feel bad. I’ve only watched Henry V - didn’t bother with the prequels.

use a .s extension?

someone asked me today,
and i didn’t know,
so i asked ken.

Today is my last day at Google! 🛫🏝🌅

I am leaving to take a long break from full-time employment and explore different ways Open Source maintainers can get paid.

I want to make https://t.co/mtxxFgvaEU a thing, starting with Go cryptography!

I weird annoying side effect of the rise of DRM everywhere is that we just... don't have... winamp-style music visualizers anymore. Because you can't write a music player because you can't touch the music.
