Developer by day. Burning the candle at both ends by night. Drinking a beer for lunch and calling it even.

@theshawwn My favorite end to a README: “Signed with love”

I'm pleased to release `llama-dl`, a high-speed download script for Facebook's 65B GPT model. It downloads at around 200MB/s, so it finishes ~18x faster than the torrent.

Be sure to read the disclaimers in the README. Enjoy.

@manwhohasitall Ugh... Preach 🙏

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

Thanks for calling this out 🙏❤️ So, so many businesses only stand behind their people like this on paper, and would never engage on social media about customers displaying this sort of aggro behavior. You’re part of the solution, hope you know that!

Hey Brian, maybe just don’t stand in the doorway and make female staff feel SO uncomfortable when they ask you to move, that they need to call the owners for help 🙃

There are two types of programmers:

- those who google everything
- liars

@paulg Hear me out.

On HN, you once commented “I don’t think there’s a word for this”, and the implications of that have sparked a great bar debate.

Did it mean that you know every word in the English language? Or just that you know enough to outrule it?

@DarkDotFail Is your onion service down?

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@theshawwn Love you 😘

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@BasedByAccident Was this username fake-redacted intentionally? Because it’s pretty easy to read. Jw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@theshawwn She’s most photogenic lady I know!

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@GorillaGlue Alright, color me three shades of impressed. I glued this thing back together and now I can beat my puppy at tug of war.

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@fayemikah I don’t know you, but I think you look more like yourself now. Maybe that’s part of it :)

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@DrPepperBxtch @njoyurevryscnd @danielpopes Oh how the turn tables

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

Writing code consists of: 10% the actual coding, 40% thinking through solutions and sanity checking them, and 50% trying to figure out which StackOverflow/YouTube browser tab was the useful one.

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@theshawwn Well, whatcha doing later?

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

@RyanHoliday @Paykhan Humans often can’t control feelings. They can absolutely control how they cope with them. For many people (I am one of them) this must be painstakingly learned over time, as coping mechanisms run deep and are hard to overwrite. Stay empathetic.

did the 8 year old version of yourself want to sit on a 1hr sprint planning zoom call?

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

It’s not like anyone will ever read this tweet chain anyway. But I needed to say it.

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

Dear social media,

I have made a conscious effort to be hypersensitive to the way it *could* possibly make men feel to discuss issues related to being a woman in tech. I have been so careful to tread lightly.

[Emily Kolar @sheminusminus]

Too little good faith has come my way for me to keep giving it. No man I know has ever had to apologize for not doing this, and I’m not going to apologize either.
