who called it "big-tent strategy" and not "coalition of the unwilling"

@rfuzzlemuzz @NathanpmYoung you gotta know where to look. we can't make them too discoverable otherwise the homeless will ruin them

[Jez Ng @jezng]

@dexterleng I'd be happy to refer you to meta if you want
can't guarantee you'd work on OS / compilers though

[Jez Ng @jezng]

there were many excellent contributors (as always) but I want to give a shout out to our GSoC intern @bertalan_d who added support for linker optimization hints (amongst several other features). very impressive work

Lumber company owner David Hampton intentionally mixed tree breeds to create a giant smiley face in the fall. It is highly visible to travelers on highway 18 in Oregon. He said, "I just did it to make people happy."

pretty cool. we could use this to train models for static analysis too -- identifying memory errors, accidentally-quadratic code, etc

even if it does not beat SOTA hand-written tooling, it could still provide good-enough solutions for new languages w/ minimal human effort

[Davis Blalock @davisblalock]

What this paper proposes to do is use a language model to generate such puzzles, and then use the puzzles to further train the model. You can check whether the puzzles are valid programmatically, so this gives you a scalable way to generate training data. [4/11]

right now there are many high-skill immigrants that are begging to come to the US and we don't let them

some day we'll beg them to come and they won't want to

this is an important-but-not-urgent policy disaster, and worse than it seems

[Peter Wildeford🇺🇸🚀 @peterwildeford]

This is the most amazing graph. On this scale, only the industrial revolution has mattered. The rise and fall of Rome, several different times losing ~10% of population, major shifts in the social order and we just keep humming along in what looks like a flat line until BAM

you ever feel nostalgic for a place you've never been?
