This is the way
Before you drop $3,000+ on an overpowered MacBook Pro M4, consider buying a Mac mini to keep on your desktop and an Air when you're on the go. I've been doing it this way for years when I realized my MBP was docked most of the time as an overpriced desktop.
This saved us a lot of lost sales— this is table stakes for most large opportunities. At the time we debated whether or not it was premature; in hindsight we probably waited a tad too long.
I spent many frustrating hours freshman year reading this book. I went to college with very little experience in theoretical math and found myself completely outclassed by my classmates. After this class, I gained a lot of confidence. I never was good, but I could try hard.
Michael Spivak's ''Calculus on Manifold'' provides you with the basics on manifold and calculus, in this short 150+ pages text. Chapter 4 and 5 will be of interest to my physicists friends. What's great is that it's also available publicly, link to the pdf in the comments
I got to chat with @brettdg about how AI/ML is transforming a whole host of industries, including mortgage underwriting. Brett was one of the first engineers who I had the privilege of working with and he taught me so much about eng. Proud to be an @Initialized portfolio co.
HomeVision uses AI and machine intelligence to offer comprehensive collateral underwriting. On our latest "High Bit" episode, HomeVision cofounder @vincentchu talks about how they’re automating real estate valuations at scale. Vince shares insights on the rapid evolution…
Using @cursor_ai in my workflow has taken a bit of getting used to. It generally works pretty well, but every once in awhile it'll sub in some random string from what I assume is the training data of the underlying model. @jkraut_ dis you?
Something really fun about hacking together terminal-based tools. I needed a tool to visualize and inspect protobuf files, and I cooked up a tool to do just this using github.com/rivo/tview
Wen encryption scheme using anti-differentiation as a trapdoor function??
I’ve been meaning to buy this book for awhile- the 50% off code was the thing that put me over! 🙏 @AxlerLinear for such a refreshing take on this beautiful subject.
I didn't realize it at the time, but this was the start of my tech career. @posterous was my foot in the door and where I learned how to build. I got in by building a Facebook Plugin for @agarwal and @garrytan This job was my red paperclip- everything after came from this.
If Trump ends up winning this thing, all I want to see is @Shanemgillis hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner.
This: so many bugs, errors, challenges, and tradeoffs in web dev ultimately come down to understanding this fact. If you develop for the web you are working on a *distributed system*. Even worse, you have little control over your clients (who must be treated adversarially!).
Many forget that the client-server architecture is a *distributed system*. The request-response workflow we have historically used helped us forget it. However, if you keep a WebSocket connection open with bidirectional data, you can no longer ignore it. 🧵
Despite having nearly the same experience in college, I chose to get my PhD, thereby denying myself the opportunity to found my generation’s Amazon. 😭
The precise moment Jeff Bezos chose not to pursue a career in physics
My first job and arguably my entire tech career stemmed from a side project. Later in my career, I always kept a few side projects to make sure I never got too comfortable within my big co ecosystem- surprising how many engineers have never typed "git init".
This is Lisa Su. CEO of AMD Interviewer : Excuse me do you speak English? You are a random person here. Lisa Su: Yes, I do. I’m with AMD and we are sponsoring the Ferari car. 😂🔥
Like everybody I’ve had my frustrations with open source, but I’m always amazed at the entitled attitudes folks exhibit at maintainers who are volunteering their time. I’d hope for the best when opening issues, but if I really needed a fix, I fully expected to patch it myself.
Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack: 0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer). Read their words👇🏻 1/
Can we begin enforcing traffic laws in SF again? Over the past few years enforcement has essentially stopped and aggressive driving seems to be normalized. /cc @GrowSF
Today there was a tragic collision in West Portal. Two lives were lost, including a child. Three more are in the hospital. I’ve just visited the scene and it is heartbreaking. We will share more information when we can, but now our focus is on the victims and their families.
Guardrails set up with prompt engineering are likely too embarrassing to be public- probably written in a wheedling voice, begging the “nice” LLM to just do what I ask pwetty please just this one time like a good boy?
The AI behavior guardrails that are set up with prompt engineering and filtering should be public — the creators should proudly stand behind their vision of what is best for society and how they crystallized it into commands and code. I suspect many are actually ashamed. The…
