management just paused an all hands to play everyone a youtube clip about how the reason that Apple and Martin Luther King Jr. are both inspiring is because they both communicate exactly the same way not even sure how to make a shitpost outta that. it just sucks!!

got a recruiter call that was: "Hi I'm with <firm>. We're recruiting with an AI lab for a software engineer." and then just... silence. That was the pitch, that some company somewhere needs a guy.

if nothing else Castle Rat does seem like it would be a very fun live show

these were my guesses for "if you could send LLM weights and code to the past, when could you start a project to run it, and what resources would you need" as a data point some people ran a SOTA model on a single GPU-less PC from 2016. as a blog post

I'm gonna say this would be a nation-state activity in 1992, a good schools entire CS department for years in 1997, and a handful of secretive nvidia engineers by 2005

next administration needs to send people to seize Tesla internal communications on day 1.

what would regulation of AI itself look like? i'm going to use this as a springboard to talk about the new White House AI executive order. some people have called it "at least a good first step". well, it fucking isn't

the datacenter backlash is depressing because no one can imagine regulating something novel directly anymore

i would really like to play Marathon however I am too busy wrangling interviews

i put my two laptops next to each other in my laptop bag and one of them ripped a rubber foot off the other... i'm gonna have to rehome it :/
