@hasheddan Much less boring than a dextrose shaker cup with 400g carbs in it

nothing screams "technology solves problems we didn't even know we had" like asking an LLM why Vale thinks your English sucks.

in an era where there is almost an inverse correlation with "initial quality" and reliability/longevity it's wild to me that the majority of Canada has no consumer protection laws.

@the_sttts Feels like both -- they are entrusted with this kind of work which by nature is discretionary, and every org's credit balance for doing such discretionary work is finite. Must spend wisely.

@TeddyEMoss Of course. I knew you'd like it with the Tame Impala features

Beethoven no.6 (Pastoral) is such a masterpiece in evoking mental imagery and manipulating the room around you. Like yeah, I felt the thunderstorm rattle the walls. Oh you also added a bonus movement for the calm after? I swear a rainbow just appeared outside.

@TeddyEMoss My man. Why isn't Justice coming to Toronto?

"PING's approach to equipment starts with knowledge, and then the products emerge from that knowledge."

That's just awesome engineering, and probably a reason why they make some of the best clubs on earth.

nice to get a few hours in for @upbound_io 's hack week so far! having some fun applying information retrieval theory on a small corpus of @crossplane_io documentation to build a data index for other ML applications.

remember, ML begins with data!

@hasheddan It's like we've worked together before 🙂

[Jason Tang @ysjtang]

"architecting under duress" happens when we deny ourselves an opportunity to exercise some foresight - and it always ends up in something suboptimal.

create space for staff+ engineers to not have to design under pressure, even if it means they don't work on the "prio 1" thing.

If you're going to be an early adopter, you're trailblazing by experiencing the pain on behalf of those that will follow you. Expecting anything else is just silly.

I didn't think I'd have @Acura MDX in "which vehicle can't even start because it's so bogged down by electronics" bingo in 2023.
