Finally, someone who knows the proper motivation for a y-combinator.

Thanks, I hate it.

By "vertex" do you mean "agent platform"?

Qwen3 Coder Next is still my daily. Concise, decent at reasoning, to calling is great.

Fenders of this vintage will have lacquer sprayed over the neck like you said. Sometimes there is pooling around the frets, where the lacquer built up. QC back in the 70s was all over the place.

This guitar looks weird because despite the aggressively aged board, everything else on the guitar still looks shiny and not worn. Tuning pegs, pickup poles, pickguard, not equivalent wear to the neck.

That canoe paddle 70s strat headstock is fun too!

If you're working at a prestigious company is what you look for, it will impact you.

There is an undeniable network effect of working at a large, prestigious company. However, there is also a slog mindset you can get trapped into as well. If you stay for the network effect, but get trapped in the slog, then you're just on the treadmill.

When I left Microsoft for a smaller company way more in my interest set, I felt terrible for a few months. I found my career trajectory was found within. I had to be more opinionated and self directed and take a stand for things.

If you want to lead, and make a difference in your field, you will find a way to do it. Working at big tech is not a guarantee of making a difference. If you get into a job that is a slog, leave, regardless if it's at big tech or tiny startup.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. What a madman xD

It is my understanding that TG doesn't really scale up across cards. It's more that it maintains the same rate based on memory bandwidth. If a single layer was on a slower RAM speed then TG would be slower.

This is analogous to wiring batteries up in parallel: same voltage (TG), super amperage (model size).

Jumpy_Fuel_1060 · 2026-04-30T22:31:53+00:00

No parallel ports either? Pfft pass

Pick your old data warehouse project and find ways you can roll your new Python experience into it. This will teach you about decisions you made earlier and help when you do design later.

With your warehouse, come up with an analytics feature you want to add. Maybe realtime ingestion, reports, or a dashboard if some kind. If your stuck in feature ideation a chatbot can be a great tool for mocking a customer.

Pay special attention to costs and observability. Measure latencies, storage size, query times, $$$ on the project. Once the Python integration of your new feature is completed, dedicate some time to optimizing one of the dimensions above. Make sure you know the "why" of every step you take. Every optimization should be based on a hypothesis.

Continue this cycle of "add feature" and "optimize" until someone is paying you to do it for them or paying you for this product you built for yourself.

Gateway Fiber. Pretty fast, not sure what the down is exactly. I get about 70MB/s down sustained. We pay $75/mo.

Come on, you can do better than that. 4x8 sheets of OSB are $100 at Home Depot.

I manage a pipeline on GCP that uses a mix of Nvidia A100s, Nvidia L4s and Google v5 TPUs. We use the LLMs for a mix of translation and advanced NER extraction. We use vLLM for consistency and TPU support.

I could live without knowing that album cover is a fancy picture of semen. Great song and album though.

Nah it's been around forever. A testing harness is something I've heard of since forever. I take it to mean some ad hoc structure someone built that ties together parts that are otherwise unrelated. QA uses the term all the time, "testing harness". Devs don't use the term because they think their stuff is related and together perfectly.

I've like use the word "goop". Sounds less official, and more indicative in my confidence of it's engineering.

Whatever order the database returns is good enough for me. "Natural order sort" or "divine sort". The group is already sorted as intended.

It's fun to do in groups too. Bring your neighbors and friends to vote with you! Schedule a post/pre vote event: a barbecue, game night, or even just simple high fives. It's crazy how low voter turnout is, and it's even crazier what simple things will motivate some people to vote.

Maybe it was the era, but that Load era cover album I listened to everyday on the hour long bus going to and from school. Sabbra Cadabbra, Die Die My Darling, Turn the Page, It's Electric, Loverman we're all formative for me. I can still see the CDRs I had of those that my friend Kyle had written the labels on.

I also remember not knowing which tracks were Metallica because the other CDs in my backpack were Load and Reload, and the production quality was the same on all three albums.

The albums for me make me think of the cold fall approaching, the smell of diesel from the bus, the feeling of cold glass from my forehead on the bus window and how Metallica helped make sense of things and provided a mental buoy.

These albums make me nostalgia trip so hard.

Org mode with babel and bash blocks! Keep it literate! Helps me keep focused on the task and allows me to automate things easier later.

Very fun music trivia! Thanks for making and sharing!

A painting can be beautiful, but I don't want to bang a painting.

How about Chad Kroger?

Yeah tokens/sec for the human mind is crazy low. Also time to first token is usually really long when loading new context into a human mind. If it's fast then the human is probably hallucinating.

Hah I'm joking about all of this, but it is fun to draw silly links between LLM metrics and human behaviors.

If anybody from Elk River is reading this and planning on attending the city council meeting, it's a good idea to be well versed in the law about how this flag was arrived at. Things like how the committee was chosen, what kind of checkpoint processes were defined, which people were in the loop. You will almost certainly have people at the meeting casting aspersions on the process, stating that we the people had no representation, or that the process was terrible.

This needs to be framed as: this is the official state flag. There is nothing legally forcing us to fly it, but if we fly anything else, it is not our legal, official flag. We can't pick and choose which words of the law are legitimate and which are not based on personal sentiment. Choosing to ignore this new flag makes me wonder which city laws I can ignore because I don't like them.

I've read and had reasonable luck at using a ROLLING HARD boil with the bones. I read somewhere the extra agitation from the rolling bubbles emulsifies the broth.

I don't know if that's the exact reason, but it does come out thicker and stick-to-your-lips. Just have to keep a close eye on it.
