@yanabana You might be missing something. The size may change depending on the current architecture. One we pay down some tech dept in the form of a bad abstraction a Large becomes a Small. So sizes need to be revisited every sprint, or as part of a grooming.

@bradneuberg @JustinDMcCarty Integrated with the real world for sure. But it may not reach 3d unless we get much better generative so 3d models or some other tool improvement. 3d models are too expensive to make right now.

AI + VS Code = 🤯

@benedictevans If you are asking it for facts out of its memory you have misunderstood the technology. Ask it for summaries, expansions, conversion from one format to another. Everything else will be mixed results.

🤯🤯Well this is something else.

GPT-4 passes basically every exam. And doesn't just pass...
The Bar Exam: 90%
LSAT: 88%
GRE Quantitative: 80%, Verbal: 99%
Every AP, the SAT...

@rajgokal I’m having trouble accessing the discord.

Beyond that it would be nice to see an example of an account program creating and interacting with tokens in rust.

A lot of the tutorials, focus on intros and cli and don’t go any deeper than interacting with the cli tools or examples

1) Monday night was a night I’ll never forget. I’m still speechless. I got to take the first ride, by anyone, ever, in a *driverless* robotaxi on the streets of San Francisco.

This was officially ride #1 for @Cruise. Full story and vids below.

I'm considering starting to contract full-time in the coming weeks.

Before I "take the dive", curious if there's anyone interested in working with a remote Microsoft MVP experienced with .NET/TypeScript, web/APIs/mobile, software design, writing & mentoring?

RT's appreciated 🙂

@TheAnnaGat Wasn’t as good as “Song of Achilles” but still a solid read.

@andreasklinger In my area of Canada. We say “sorry” in place of the American “excuse me” when wanting to get by someone. “I’m just going to sneak past you” time permitting. I thought the lady in the grocery store wanted to fight me, first time I heard “excuse me”

@RichardLBlair Remove application processes on social programs.

Many programs are available to people and go unused because people aren’t educated on them. We should automatically enroll people, or at least inform them of eligibility.

Would require competent data management though.

@andreasklinger Haven’t lived in the city for a few months. But what happens to all the transients?

Can’t imagine what it’s been like for the mentally unstable among them and the people who have to come in contact with them.

@kvlly My mom was looking at ordering masks and they are $300 for 50. Not to mention new air purifiers and everything else. They need to order specific masks mandated by the college/government.

This is just the way it is going to be for a little while until the supply side catches up.

@andreasklinger @hunterwalk @joshelman O(n) is roughly O(1), given that 25 is a relatively small N.

@fahdananta Don’t forget the cohort of new grads who are going to have to compete on the job market with people who have more experience.

Expect them to be pushed back 3-5 years in their career if they ever recover.

[Jordan Amos @jAmos47]

@rahef_issa I can’t find the clip. But I remember a recent game where he was covering for the D. Tried to intercept a saucer and instead it was a breakaway and goal the other way. Got caught flat footed.

Would have been nice to back off and slow them down while waiting for help.

[Jordan Amos @jAmos47]

@rahef_issa He still has a tendency to sell out on some plays in both ends. It makes him dynamic, but leads to some oofs and breaks that you wish he had held position for. Needs to be a little more conservative, especially when covering for a pinching defenseman.

[Jordan Amos @jAmos47]

@Aimee_Knight Burnout is just a colloquialism for mental exhaustion. The idea that you can get it only from technical work is probably wrong. It does make me wonder about different areas of the brain and their ability to feel exhaustion. Specifically the neocortex vs the limbic system.

[Jordan Amos @jAmos47]

@jamison_dance Its actually more when you have multiple switch statements. (Forgive my mobile code formatting). This is a very simple example.

do_x_with(a) if type = a else do_x_with(b)
// a bunch more code

do_y_with(a) if type = b else do_y_with(b)
// repeat with z and whatever else.
