have you experienced particularly slow pushes with large repositories at all, and if so were you able to resolve them? I did some profiling & it looks like the issue lies with `libgit2`, but I haven’t been able to replicate the issue ou

i don’t support hardware development directly, but i’m a software infrastructure engineer working adjacent to the teams that do so. can’t comment on specifics, but imo our hardware team punches above its weight class in terms of # of people

i can't comment about sora specifically, however the architecture can support workloads beyond just LLM inference. our demo booth at trade shows usually has StyleCLIP up at one point or another to provide an abstract example of this. d

right now we’re providing this access to public, anonymous users via this demo chat interface as an alpha test. we’ll be publishing information about API access, and pricing, shortly after the new year.

fwiw in my experience it's entirely possible to avoid this if you don't submit an application "cold" (i.e. through the careers page), but through a recruiter or referral _IF_ you have a strong portfolio of open source wo

this is a bizarre straw man to stand up in response to GP, especially given the context of the post we're discussing. in my experience, the framing and rhetorical style that you're using is often used to make excuses or apologies

The fit, finish, and overall handling of an entry level BMW 3 Series is absolutely comparable (if not superior) to a Tesla Model 3. The Model 3 wins on acceleration, though, no question about it.

There is certainly no city in America that compares to New York City. There are “megacities” in other countries that occupy a similar position, such as London or Tokyo (although they obviously all feel different in their own unique ways). I
