that requires good weather and precision alignment on a moving platform. line of sight is possible with a relay drone, but now you have to align multiple lines of sight precisely while moving, and still can't fly with any smoke, fog, etc.
fiber optic seems like a pretty robust solution here.
We had to rewrite lots of code to optimize for the hot-swap load speeds. So we prioritized llama as it was the most popular group on Hugging Face. And RWKV (which is what we work on in open source space)
But other architectures are coming within a week or two. Up next is probably Mixtral MoE models.
We will keep adding until we add ALL the architectures and models =)
stick to the browser. less chance of access to local data and memory related attacks. also usually now the fastest platforms in rolling out any kind of new features.
Greg Egan is an acquired taste of hard SF. I would highly recommend someone who wants to get in to start here - it is short stories and some of his very best. Also one of my best cover of sci fi books
- my cat. Absolutely best investment of time and money ever. Highly intelligent and equally stupid at the same time. Endless hours of happiness and laughter
- 1440p 120Hz led monitor. Right balance of FPS for gaming and high resolution & color accuracy for work
- adidas stan smith white shoes. Absolute workhorse and great for my previous disc back injuries. Donate old pair every 6 months once worn and buy a new. Goes with everything and all occasions.
- google home mini next to my bed. Use it for light music at night and morning. But mainly for waking up “hey google, set an alarm for…” (don’t want to pick up phone first thing)
- Obsidian. Been using it for last few years. Bought Sync. Since spot for my notes and thoughts. Work or personal. Habit is more important than tool (which has been pointed out by many here too)
- casio f-91w. $22. Have one at home, one in my travel backpack and one in office. Cheap enough so I can distribute keep. Faster to see time than phone and chimes at every hour so I know my next meeting is starting (was always late for meetings in the past)
- flighty. I travel a lot for work and this is consistently better at telling me when flights get delayed, all my info and sharing with family and loved ones where I am in the world. And vice versa. UI is beautiful.
- Libby. Singapore National Library is a goldmine for books, international papers & magazines and audiobooks. At $10 initial registration fee for library membership setup (annual fee is $0 for residents and $40 for foreigners), this is the most value add item in my life.
- a bookshelf. Crammed with more books than what I can read. Mostly sci fi, fantasy, graphic novels and special editions. The colors make me smile everytime i walk past
- omnidesk standing desk. XXL version. The extra large size gives a lot of space for me to put stuff and a generous space for my cat to spread out.
- Hacker news. First webpage of the day usually. it’s the best implementation of what a “online community” is and delivers to its members. Please never change anything in it. Its perfect.
- Katong. It’s the area I live in Singapore and best implementation of what an “real world community” is and delivers to its members. Great folks in the neighbourhood, great bars/restaurants/cafes/unique shops, great shop owners who are super warm, great community meetups (tech, artists, foodies,etc), great weather, next to the beach, no high rise buildings, near to city center, near to airport
- a daily 5 min phone call from/to mum to see how I am we are doing. Been a ritual for the last 6 years and counting.
Kent is an amazing guy! Met him a year+ ago at a friend's house and was fantastic to discuss the initial idea he had around this book, which was based on tons of experience at various engineering firms. He has been posting parts of chapters or thoughts in his newsletter for a while now - so it's awesome to see it compiled in one place!
