I have some personal news 👀 Today is my last day at Google! 🛫🏝🌅 I am leaving to take a long break from full-time employment and explore different ways Open Source maintainers can get paid. I want to make words.filippo.io/professional-m… a thing, starting with Go cryptography!

If you can spare the time this is very interesting reading on a part of history not often able to be discussed with detail- at least “this part”.

Why does ChatGPT work so well? Is it “just scaling up GPT-3” under the hood? In this 🧵, let’s discuss the “Instruct” paradigm, its deep technical insights, and a big implication: “prompt engineering” as we know it may likely disappear soon:👇

I look forward to my next Rust project as it’s been a while. But it will probably not be a “build fast”, iterative design, interactive graphics engine and GUI framework. Probably.

Daniel It's almost as if the people writing this article are going through all the motions of conducting a serious scientific and anthropological discussion of the Cargo Cult phenomenon, but in the end it's a crude fascimile because they lack a detailed understanding of the fundamentals

When you make a Bank ACH transaction, it’s literally just an SFTP upload. Sent as a NACHA file, it's 940 bytes of ASCII text. Bank-to-Bank transactions cost ~0.2 cents. As long as it travels via encrypted tunnel; it’s compliant! Here’s how the quirky system works:
