i love how when you're playing pokémon diamond and you enter the chamber of the champion only to be greeted by this beethoven-ass piano composition, foreboding tones sending chills down your spine as if to warn you about the shellacking you're about to receive from cynthia's perfect iv garchomp

i love working in tech, but it is legitimately insane how someone can be at a company for 18 years while making significant contributions to both the company and the industry only to be laid off without even a moment's notice

it's really hard to find competent engineers.

i've interviewed about 20 cs majors who claim to be experts at typescript and none of them have been able to explain what the reparameterization trick is, why it’s used in variational autoencoders, and what would go wrong if we didn’t use it.
