This is a fantastic (dev/technical-focused) video content gig for anyone looking.

I can say this confidently because I’ve read @samwho.dev’s technical explainers and they are fantastic. I’ve never met the dude but this is clearly a job where you’ll learn tons and have fun.

I've been mulling a Barbenheimer twofer with "Melania" and "Primate: Something's Wrong With Ben." (Either "Primate-lania" or "Primate: Something's Wrong With Melania.")

But Rocky Horror-style midnight movie is probably much more watchable.

Everyone (not just academics) should read this excellent post by ex-Google AI researcher and current AI prof David Bau.

I was wondering the same thing, so it's very nice to see an explanation right here in the thread.

Glad to see Bluesky is becoming a solid alternative to AI Twitter...

mulling a "Barbenheimer" two-fer for "Primate: There's Something Wrong With Ben" and "Melania."

Could go with "Primate-lania", but I prefer "Primate: There's Something Wrong With Melania."

(NB: I will not actually be watching the Melania movie.)

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts.

I mistakenly read this as "Alien says that Earth’s beefy tablets were inspired by Sony’s classic Watchman," and thought to myself, "Not what I expected as a paying subscriber to The Verge, but I'll give it a click..."

this is a helpful reminder for me to finish reading the series with my kids... Their fave so far is still anything with the Nac Mac Feegles...

as a non-engineer whose only recent coding experience is learning Python to create ML projects, it's strange to think there could be an alternate world where you *don't* have endless versioning issues like this...

This is the first thing I have ever seen that has really tempted me to create a TikTok account. It is perfect.

I trust your reasoned analysis of this nuanced policy proposal, @mnolangray.bsky.social. Also, a gondola in L.A. seems pleasantly ridiculous.

hello Bluesky friends who look at my posts here! (both of you!)

I'm excited to dust off my tourist-grade French in Paris next week at the RAISE Summit, a premier event for technical leaders in AI. 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 (Message me if you'll also be there and would like to meet up!)

Curious to see what you decide on and how it goes.

Is this just for local inference with batch_size=1? Or something more elaborate?

Just got a ticket. Hooray for stumbling across interesting things on social media. Hasn’t happened to me in a long while!
