Jesus Christ you should use Muse Spark 1.2 as your default cheap model it is so SO fast, I'm averaging 200 TPS in general use, not going to use anything but xhigh for early impressions but man it is so snappy and responsive in pi Meta's compute shining here as expected, excited

Meta Muse Spark 1.2 pricing is cheaper than DeepSeek v4 Flash! You get 95% off~ roughly for letting your data be used for training. (DeepSeek also uses your data for training on their official API)

including a bash command in your announcement tweet is a pretty great move

It's unbelievable that I still can't make an event in Google Calendar from a natural language input.

They asked Reggie Jackson a question about overcoming racism in baseball. They expected a candy coated, saccharine answer, but he gave them that raw uncut. 👍🏿 hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/1… Don't ask the question if you're not ready for the answer. 🤷🏿‍♂️

My number 1 piece of advice for engineers is: review your own PRs before anyone else does. Getting out of the editor and reviewing in a pull request puts you into a different mindset.

Unpopular opinion: No one I know at FAANG worked for years to ship a few buttons unless they are committing career suicide or are locked into a job for visa reasons. At FAANG, you develop rare skills, e.g. how to build and run a billion dollar business.

It's depressing to see so many talented people from top schools with amazing resumes go work years at FAANG, and the most they can point to having shipped are a few buttons in one minor workflow. I mean I know FAANG can afford it, but you can't. Work at a startup!

On the other hand, working at Google straight out of school was incredibly valuable in 10 years of startup experience afterward.

Does anyone have experience with FCC approval for devices with bluetooth modules? Is it feasible as an individual? Would be interested to chat.

“Now, as you live your arc across the sky, you want to have as few regrets as possible. Remember, regrets are different from mistakes. Mistakes are those things that you did, and wish you could do over again. Regrets are most often things you didn't do, and wish you did.”

“And Apple was a very bottoms-up company when it came to a lot of its great ideas. And we hired truly great people and gave them the room to do great work. A lot of companies—I know it sounds crazy—but a lot of companies don’t do that. They hire people to tell them what to do.

“We hired people to tell us what to do. We figured we’re paying them all this money, their job is to figure out what to do and tell us. And that led to a very different corporate culture, and one that’s really much more collegial than hierarchical.”

“Already, when I want to find out the movies that are playing around Silicon Valley, I just go up on the local web page and check it out. It’s a lot faster than going through the newspaper, and a lot faster than calling the theaters, et cetera.”
