I just wanted to chime in and thank you for sharing your prompts like that! It feels like which prompts people are using (even from developers on the same team) is often opaque. It's a great learning resource for people to see under th

They definitely do train their own models, the founders have described this in several interviews. I was surprised to learn this, but they made some interesting choices (like using sparse mixture-of-experts models for their tab completion m

I love this work by Otoro / David Ha. For come context, this uses a technique called CPPN’s (compositional pattern producing networks), where the inputs are (x, y, sqrt(x^2 + y^2)) and then there are several neural net layers with diff

Love this advice. I’ve always struggled with the same thing. One friend started telling me to get over myself and publish, then he reworded it to: “Get over being under yourself.” For some reason that one stuck with me and gave me the stren

At a startup I worked at, one of my cofounders was an incredibly skilled designer, and he took a lot of pride in the design of our homepage. He spent a lot of time in particular finding the right fonts, and would often complain when he saw

These results are beautiful! Just curious, how did you end up on fxhash? Did you consider any other platforms, or was hicetnunc the only comparable platform you’d use for this kind of thing before fchash came around?

These are awesome! Thanks for putting your work out into the world, turtlesoup. In my free time I make paintings of outputs from GANs/Deepdreams/etc. I've been wanting to paint something based on a model trained on illustrati

Look at some good open source projects, and look at the overall project/module structure as well as the OO graph. Re: high-level project layout: - where are their build files? - how are the source packages broken up? - where are the te

It's true that there aren't too many practical applications of GAN's yet, but I'd argue that transfer learning is already pretty powerful. It's fairly commonplace to approach a compute vision task by starting with V

Does this only apply to UI changes? Or can i fix, say, a logic bug as well? Also, what kind of performance concerns might I see?

Agreed. Transitively-resolved, platform-independent binaries are the big win coming from maven. Only once have I worked with a project where I required new system-level dependencies to compile & run a maven project; and I have never had

This is really exciting - as a Java/Python guy who recently made forays into C++, I was disappointed at the state of dependency management and the lack of standardization across build tools. So many projects use submodules instead of c

Thanks! We think it's an exciting space, and feel strongly that deep-linking is a good starting point to begin breaking down some of the silo's that exist between apps on our smartphones. Is your friend anyone we would have heard

Whoa interesting! I've heard of people playing OpenWRT pranks like Upsidedown-ternet [1], but it's cool to see more practical use cases of router-level filtering. Did you hand-roll the ad proxy or find something open-sourced? I&#x
