It is crazy to me that every CI run of approximately every project downloads artifacts over the network. Aside from the cost/overhead, this is just a recipe for test flakes. 🤯


Does anyone actually think that taxing unrealized cap gains is a good idea?

"There’s absolutely no reason to get stuck on an idea that no other country has ever tried, which has so many obvious problems, and which voters just aren’t going to understand anyway. Taxing the rich shouldn’t be this hard." noahpinion.blog/p/unrealized-g…

I have an opening for another developer to work on the hydro.run research project, funded by Sutter Hill Ventures. Rust fluency required, experience with internals of DBMS, compilers or distributed systems desirable. SFBay preferred.


Has anyone used Asahi Linux? How stable is it for daily use?

Determined is expanding its Cloud Preview Program. We want community members and customers to help us test our new cloud native ML model training platform and give feedback. HPE is covering the cost of GPU compute time up to $1,200 a month. Register here: hpe.to/60113ujrH

Just spent an hour with the @DeterminedAI team. They are making the "Visual Studio" for the AI developer/researcher. Makes managing the workflow of training and building much easier. A team to watch for sure.

Deep learning, but make it art 👀 @GGDeterminedAI trained Stable Diffusion (@StabilityAI) on Determined to generate new logos, and the results are pretty insane. Join our lunch-and-learn on Nov 8 to see how it's done! Meetup & Zoom info below ⬇️ hpe.to/6011MlWtl

Pretty depressing that YAML and JSON are both absolutely terrible formats.

How many of you actively hate YAML?



Two fun @DeterminedAI events! (1) Office hours on Friday: come meet the team and ask questions meetup.com/determined-ai-… (2) Lunch-and-learn on Tuesday: learn about how to use @DeterminedAI with custom training loops using CoreAPI meetup.com/determined-ai-…


Zoom calendar invites vs. Teams vs. Chime (🤮) is like the business version of iOS blue vs. green dots


🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to the team, @ighodgao !!!

I am incredibly pleased to welcome Isha Ghodgaonkar @ighodgao to @DeterminedAI as our first Machine Learning Developer Advocate (MLDA) on the Determined Open Source Community Team. She is a grad of @PurdueEngineers with experience at @AerospaceCorp, @genentech, and @MITREcorp



One of the best books I've read recently is Masters of Doom -- fascinating account of the founding of id Software, Carmack/Romero, and the early days of the PC gaming industry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_o…

Did I mention, I am hiring for my team and you can get sick laptop too? I am looking for engineers, new grads, and career switchers with ML experience interested in open source community building. Blogging, streaming, presenting, and OSS contributions are huge plus. DM me.

New Dell XPS 15 9520 for work. 12th Gen i7, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe, 3840x2400 500-nit OLED 15.6” display, GeForce RTX 3050. This thing is a beast. I’m normally a ThinkPad guy but this metal case though.

Really proud of the team's work on Determined's next-generation Core API, which makes @DeterminedAI much more flexible and easier to integrate with custom training loops and scripts. Check it out! determined.ai/blog/training-…


There are companies that don't do this?

Does your current/former company have a culture of writing eng design docs or RFCs? For non-trivial projects, writing down the proposal sending it around to gather feedback beforehand. If so, share the company name in this thread. Gathering examples of places that do this 👇



I'm mystified why people seem to like this pattern to begin with, even for non-performance-critical code.

Go: The "functional options" pattern is slow. Don't use it for functions that are called in critical paths. (I'm looking at you, StartSpan in all Go tracing APIs) evanjones.ca/go-functional-…



Relieved to have a useful link to send to people who ask me about crypto currentaffairs.org/2022/05/why-th…


SQLite is great for what it is, but the type system is lame.


Maybe I'm weird but I enjoy cleaning something up as much or more than getting it to work in the first place.

Right after that amazing feeling of getting your code to work, there's this awful moment where you realize how much clean up it needs before anyone can possibly be allowed to see it. It's like reckoning with the mess in your kitchen after cooking a big meal.
