cpu/gpu utilization haters

can someone at Elsevier please explain to me why they offer delivery to taliban-controlled afghanistan and norfolk island, but not sydney (mainland australia)

this would be so much funnier if this video revealed zohran's campaign's projections for how the ranked voting would play out: youtu.be/NFGk6PtoBdw?si…

Crazy to think that - 920k people out of ~27 million people in Australia; and - 233k people out of ~1.5 billion people in India went to Japan last year

There's multiple prolific Australian posters that have been deleted before/after notable events (Dan Nolan prior to acquisition? Misha Saul after investing $10m into a company that credibly cooked its books), and there's no one to replace them 🥲

Most people's (politicians are not immune to this) general sense of magnitudes is not very strong -- I wish more media interviewers just asked basic questions to discredit their interviewees (at the risk of not having interviewees in the future)

There was so much dooming when Devin came out, when it should have (rightfully) been Claude Code

Stupid C++ trick question: Which line won't compile?

It's been very interesting to me to see how two different (I'm going to loosely say) "recipe startups" in Sydney, somewhat similar in nature -- clove\.kitchen and Recime -- have evolved since having their raises announced

Two episodes into “succession” and it just hit me, it’s a straight play of “Arrested Development”

Spent like an hour trying to get Superwhisper working, only to realize OpenAI has dictation in its user interface 🙃

I wrote a toy software transactional memory implementation using the reflection proposal:

this doesn't look real (from youtube.com/watch?v=fPZ1Zd…)

sorry not sorry but you gotta know this cursed SQLite fact too

all american swe Olivia Moore a whole team of ai researchers iterated and tested a giant essay sized prompt for you and this is the thanks they get

It is such a shame that the average usecase of Grok will be intellectually much lower than every other previously leading LLM

The $10b Microsoft investment in OpenAI is one of the best investments in recent history, and a disastrous one for OpenAI. Had they just waited a couple more months, they probably would have been able to flip some SWFs at a much higher valuation/lower % take/better conditions re:
