ELON MUSK TO THE WORLD!

As someone who has built payments systems, I encourage everyone and anyone to do this. Best way to learn why building an online merchant platform is hard is to… do it The challenge is NOT the code. Oh no! It’s PSPs, fraud, tax, reporting, reconciliation, customer support

Everyone should be using this website to understand the inside of an LLM. I'm surprised more people don't know about it. Benjamin Bycroft made this beautiful interactive visualization to show exactly how the inner workings of each of the weights of an LLM work. Here's a link:

To achieve loose coupling, you must treat the external interface of your services like a public API, requiring careful design, versioning, and a focus on only consuming necessary information. 8/9

Justin from Taiwan Linode fal Don't study, just make things!

A mask in the office, is like a hard-hat on a construction site, although I’d argue offices are more hazardous at this point

In a taxi with my sons. All masked. Taxi driver said "I've been meaning to get a mask but haven't got round to it." I gave her a couple. One white. One black. I've blocked 1800 bots this weekend. That's the message - you can block things you don't want. #ChristmasFever

WARNING: may cause premature applause! Known to many as 'Sleep', the original text of Robert Frost's beloved poem brings a different, colder atmosphere to the music. Hear all of Eric Whitacre 's beautiful 'Stopping by Woods' at our concert this Saturday: cuore.ie/tickets .

Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'? We are right.

Conor Browne If I am wrong, I avoided all illness for five years and spent some money on masks. If I am right, people will be very sick/disabled. I WANT to be wrong. But fear I am right.

Conor Browne There’s not even any downside: so we wear masks and skip indoor dining. Neither of us has been sick in years. Right now it seems like at least 1/3 of our friends are either sick or recovering from being sick—many stressed about not getting paid for all their time off work.

it's kinda wild to write "after the pandemic ended, absences have remained high due to circulating sars-cov-2" like saying "now that i've put an end to my mouse infestation, my living room cheese collection continues to disappear just as fast, possibly because of all the mice"

4/ Our team shares a single CLAUDE.md for the Claude Code repo. We check it into git, and the whole team contributes multiple times a week. Anytime we see Claude do something incorrectly we add it to the CLAUDE.md, so Claude knows not to do it next

I used to think the “smart people” ..the PhDs, the MDs … knew they were screwed after the first infection. Watching their behavior, it looked like this: once they got infected, they stopped masking. I assumed that meant they understood SARS-CoV-2 as a persistent infection and

Bruce Crossing My mother-in-law in Germany is 96, born in 1929, grew up in the Nazi era, and is mentally as sharp as ever. She told me recently, watching US news: Diesen Film habe ich schon mal gesehen. Mir gefällt das Ende nicht. I've seen this movie before. I don't like how it ends.

I've seen this Lancet article going around recently, and to be honest, I find it horrifying. Imagine a researcher in 1965 looking at the rising tide of lung cancer and declaring: "People are just going to smoke. It’s human nature. Let’s stop talking about prevention and just

My posts have been brutally suppressed by Musk this last week. If you can see this, give me a wave and a retweet. ❤️👋

Yeah. A mask cult. Sure. Call it that. You know what else was a “cult”? Hand-washing. Seatbelts. Clean drinking water. Surgery without sawdust and whiskey. Every time humans figured out how not to die stupidly, someone yelled cult. So yeah—if a “cult” means noticing that
