With age I realised that spicy food, functional programming and big dicks sound great in theory but are just painful in practice

Really excited to be in San Francisco in a couple weeks for @QConSF! 🎙️

I get the honour of presenting the Monday keynote (literally a pinch me moment). Definitely giving it all for this talk. Hopefully see y'all there 🙏

Just saw a little bat. Need to remember that in these savage parts there’s no guarantee that they are rabies-free

If you think blockchain is hard to explain, try explaining why you can’t just put a button on a website that lets customers call you on data instead of using minutes. Well you can but it won’t be like Whatsapp. Well yeah there’s wifi calling, but… You know what, nvm

Langchain feels to me like amdram or jazz - a lot more enjoyable to produce than to consume

https://t.co/9DEAAchuc8 is built with @super_

I'm quite pleased with it. Easy to set up, the end result looks ok, and the content is published straight from Notion.

I suspect our head of marketing would not be pleased, but he's on pat leave so he can't tell me what to do.

How to figure out if you can get decent results from an LLM for your customers? Idk, no one knows.

I wrote a blog post about how we do it. It's a first in the "fuck around and find out: LLM edition" series.

Decided to replicate the Jupyter notebook with logistic regression model, from a course to test if I *really* get it. Discovered that too large a learning rate causes /0 errors in the log functions. And also that I didn’t *really* get it.

Why is that the hair around your face dries the second you step out of the shower and the hair at the back just never dries at all?

@GergelyOrosz @swapfiets This is why I prefer Lime bikes. What’s a little vomit in a basket now and then? 🥲

[Irina Bednova @jafrog]

@GergelyOrosz @swapfiets In London your bike pretty much guaranteed to be stolen unless you take it to bed with you and sleep with one eye open. Even then, you’re just inviting a break in.

So for me personally it’ll be paying stolen charges every 6 months and dealing with police reports.
