And I think those last two pics probably does it for me. You had a good run bird site.

Felt that one

Learning about an experimental new #rustlang SDK for Beam #BeamSummit

Talend talking about their improved LocalRunner using Reactive Streams! Very cool. #beamsummit

Don’t talk about my day job much on here… but this week is Beam Summit!

okay, so what GPU are we using for model training these days? I might finally get around to doing this ITX build.

What’s going to be kinda cool is that we’re going to be able to use LLMs to rapidly iterate on API ergonomics. If people are writing code using LLMs then it makes sense to optimize APIs for getting good results from LLMs. Question is how well that moves to humans.

Met some turtles. This one is named Wooly-Bully.

La’ie Point

How are e-strollers not a thing?

It was a bit chaotic to pull together but NYE/Anniversary dinner turned out OK in the end.

So, I got to thinking… it be nice to have something like dbt for managing large Beam pipelines, especially multi-language ones… Finally got a basic multi-language test working last night. Behold, spd: github.com/byronellis/beam/b…

Ambience

No, seriously…

Gonna just fill up the servers…

Unexpectedly in SF today. Anyone around SOMA late afternoon? (Like maybe after 4?)

dumb question… what happened with/to Twitter employee’s RSUs?
