"New movie breaks box office record" headlines are annoying. They should go by tickets, not dollars. Currently they're mostly just tracking inflation
Very weird that the "generative model" article focuses so much on classification
BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms
Slack thinks just about every file is a binary. So frustratingly dumb
The more I use jj, the stranger it feels that git has a concept of being "not on a branch"
Neat trick for merging hash tables: 1. Run a HyperLogLog over each (fast) 2. Merge these to get the total unique count (very fast) 3. Use this for sizing the result 4. Merge tables in Memory friendly, and just one allocation!
oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.
Dr has me on a low-fiber diet for a few days, and it's really weird feeling hungry all the time. So ready to be done with this
Last car you took a picture of 1915 Packard 3-38 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum

My company is based in #Seattle, and we mostly use #Julialang. We're thinking of hosting a Julia meetup, maybe mid-Dec. Maybe a couple of talks, pizza, etc. Any thoughts? Would you attend?

Eugene Vinitsky 🍒@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social · 10mo agoSometimes I’ll see a paper that implements an idea I’ve had but implements it poorly for engineering reasons. But then it’s hard to write a follow up paper because it’s not “novel” anymore
Blue Apron didn't give us the chicken that was supposed to come with this, but life finds a way
