Clearly aims to demonstrate the superiority of their specialized hardware for training. That said it's nice to have proper open models available (architecture, training data, weights... it's all in the open).

This looks like an interesting new authorization scheme.

Nice (even though a bit long) explanation of the skills needed for a senior software engineers. Definitely a bunch of good advises in there.

Nice historical perspective from Alan Kay about the MVC architecture pattern.

We might start in a software career attracted by the "perfection of the machines" (already debatable) but indeed to make anything meaningful we need to interact with other people. I often say it but I'll say it again: it is a team sport.

Indeed, this is the most important skill we need next to coding. Especially in a remote work culture.

Now this is a truly impressive technology! This will make facial motion capture a really smoother process.

Interesting musing about a language size and how it evolves over time. There's clearly tension between making it too big and keeping it relevant to modern uses.

Now, this starts to become interesting. This is a first example of trying to plug symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches together in the wild. This highlights some limitations of this particular (quite a bit rough) approach, we'll see how far that can go before another finer approach is needed.

How surprising, did they realize this was one more fad they were helping to fuel?

Interesting algorithm for generating image placeholders.

Training sets are obviously already contaminated... now it'll be a race of hiding such mistake under the carpet with human interventions. That'll be a boon for misinformation. That's what we get for a useless large models arm race.

Nice refactoring and design pattern catalogs.

It's clearly way too reliable. This needs explicit hardening.

This is a very good point, it's good to reduce containers size. Be careful of the cost though.

For all we like to point out the software industry for blowing up estimates and budgets... it's not a unique phenomenon, civil engineering is also struggling with it. This is a good reminder.

This looks interesting, I especially like the fact that it's easily encrypted, definitely a good thing regarding secrets. Now I wonder if that's easy to couple with direnv...

Still a bit young but looks like an interesting and fast tool to decode random data.

Looks like an interesting vector image format. Let's see if it gets some buy in.

Very nice approach to avoid the font bloating on the web. I'm slightly concerned about the maintenance over time but at least it has proper fallbacks and the fonts used seem widespread enough (for now).
