@karlmehta Sounds like Microsoft's about to drop a LoRa tool 😂 Mr. Nadella's got a point, but it's risky move to use lossy compressors like LLMs as databases. I wouldn't want my company to use the WEIGHTS as a database unless you could PROVE that my "tacit knowledge" was stored losslessly.

It's official - Factal's #GoogleAds integration is both smarter and more reliable than Google Ads Advisor. Plus Factal can do more than just run GAQL 😜

After two days of blood, sweat and cache misses, Factal's #GoogleAds integration is FINALLY smart enough to work with Perfomance Max campaigns. SO glad we can use our own tool on our own data again.

After many hours struggling with Firestore's query panel, I've decided to simply abandon it in favor of asking https://t.co/CpvnozynuV. My life is SO much better.

Just used the #GoogleAds integration in https://t.co/CpvnozynuV to figure out which of our assets were being shown to people most often. I don't even know which PAGE that table is on in the Ads UI - Factal told me in under 30s.

#ChatGPT is probably the most advanced #AI humans have created, and it's made up of fewer neurons than an earthworm's brain. Talking to ChatGPT is like asking an earthworm its opinions on life.

Don't you love that moment when you find five Stack overflow questions with your exact bug, and none of them have any answers? Yeah, me neither.

I asked the IT department at my university to help me figure out the IP address of my Raspberry Pi. Nothing suspicious about a student trying to find out the IP address of a computer that he doesn't have access to, nothing at all.

#DeepMind just used #MachineLearning to improve matrix multiplication algorithms, which they will now use to improve #MachineLearning algorithms.

Apple's M series of chips: their latest attempt to make sure that if you bought Apple, you stay Apple.

If all the programmers who should have been pure mathematicians could stop expounding on the virtues of LISP, that would be great. Thank you.

I can't wait until I can palm my entire job onto #AI.

XCode is the software equivalent of a burning trash can on a garbage island adrift in the center of a volcano.

I used math to build an app that taught me math, then used the app to get good at math. I have come full circle.

@DwindlingGravy @jaleel120223 @Caitlyn_Jenner Why don't we stop trying to police what other people can and can't do? Live your life the way you want, and let other people live theirs the way they want.

Just realised I spend more time doing #ML Engineer stuff (anti-cheating system for exams, rep counting for exercises, security systems) than #AI engineer stuff (document classification, CAPTCHA solving...) Guess it makes sense, I'm way too lazy to iterate 800 models.

FFMPEG is so powerful, but the syntax is so cryptic... I guess it's a friendly reminder that video is not a simple medium to handle #programming

Mashed potatoes have no right to be as delicious as they are.
