Evita is so great.

It’s so strange OpenDAL tests work on CI but not locally. If tests have timing issues for serialization, the larger latency seems to be potent.

Gemini CLI做deep research撞API limit非常频繁，但是模型能力���含了sub-agents相关的工具。重复调用而不需要像langchain那样去做编排

@OnlyXuanwo I saw you are tweeting at 4am?

[Erick Guan @erickguan]

@OnlyXuanwo you are really full on developing!

It’s my great honor to have just received the test-of-time award at #ACL2025 from @aclmeeting for our paper “Effective Approaches to Attention-based Neural Machine Translation” (joint work with @hyhieu226 and @chrmanning at EMNLP 2015).

It’s the immediate second “attention” paper after (Bahdanau, Cho, Bengio, ICLR 2015) but it was first for many things:
* first to introduce the dot-product attention (that many referred as Luong attention & its variant later appeared in the Transformer paper in 2017)
* first to achieve state-of-the art neural machine translation, and
* first to introduce the notion of local attention (as confirmed by Gemini).

I’m very grateful to @ilyasut, @quocleix, @OriolVinyalsML who brought me into neural machine translation when I was an intern at Google Brain in 2014, from which we have changed Google Translate entirely in 2017.

The single most important thinking tool: turning abstract concepts into images.

If you are a frequent reader, you know I put excessive time into the illustrations.

Sometimes, drawing the pictures takes more time than writing the text.

I was asking ChatGPT 4.1 to fix a regexp. `HEADER_RE = /^\s*##{2,3}\s+/ fix this regexp in Ruby`. It's generating a text with infinite loop. Grok/Deepseek works absolutely fine with this prompt.

I'm excited to share that I've become a mentor for @ApacheTeaclave. This is another Rust project I'm mentoring within the ASF.

Teaclave is an open-source, universal secure computing platform that offers support for TrustZone and SGX.

Welcome to contribute!

I was fascinated by Dr. Paul Canti’s choices of word. I didn’t know how his early life story was. What he wrote in the introduction is a devastating sequence of events. He made through. This is some of the best indicators of safety and trustworthiness of a person.

@OnlyXuanwo “I feel it, it must be true.”

The truth is our emotions can swing from one extreme to another in a very short amount of time. Even love and hate. But it is not reality. It’s our reflection to reality.

[Erick Guan @erickguan]

Emotional reasoning is rather useless. It’s really good at one thing - surviving bad social environments. Serve and protect in an intellectual, abstract way. But it’s a behavioral pattern generating long term issues.

[Erick Guan @erickguan]

@OnlyXuanwo Definitely extra respect for your time and energy investing in open source!

[Xuanwo @OnlyXuanwo]

roife is currently looking for a job! Take your time to hire this talented guy.

Some highlights:

- Maintainer of rust-analyzer.
- Extensive experience in Rust, SIMD, GPU, LLVM, and NVVM.
- Using Emacs for development 🥳

This is really well put!! Never thought of it like this:

The gilded age

I published a new post about how AWS ListObjects can take up to 120 seconds to respond on a bucket with versioning enabled. This is one of the important things you need to know about S3.

[Erick Guan @erickguan]

The Corpus Callosum is of great importance to us. I hope no child will suffer missing it.

[Erick Guan @erickguan]

Thanks for great tips. @jhawthorn #tokyorubykaigi I also want to learn vernier a bit more!

I failed to pay a Danish e-commerce company for an order because I couldn't understand their order system. God, that system was awful.
