Bryan KamSo you can run LLaMA on a single M1 MacBook thanks to quantization? This is for real?? https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
Ryan CordellLast night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:
1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made
Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant
Mayanksomeone over on that site built a shiny button and it's kinda blowing my mind 😅

I wonder if Neil Armstrong ever worried that walking on the moon was kind of a low impact project.
Cost a noticeable fraction of US GDP. Little measurable concrete benefit.
Or to put it another way, the Apollo program was the most expensive poem ever written.
(Because it was wartime propaganda of course, of course, etc.)
This post on the evolution of fb’s iOS architecture is remarkable. Is it a boast or a confession?
At every step, abstracting away from the underlying platform is presented as an ingenious necessity, but my reflex is to wonder if it’s not an avalanche of misjudgments, gathering speed as they compound on each other.
It’s like a Rorschach test of your engineering instincts.

Joyce ParkI don't think we have given NEARLY enough thought to how AI-based apps will be presented to humans. Believe it or not, text boxes aren't a natural UX for all cases.
Any teacher can tell you that multiple choice is easier than free text -- because recognition is easier than recall.
Here, let's do an exercise. How would you redesign AirBnb for the AI era? Assume you have perfect info on usage metrics.
When you’re thinking about if your mother forgot about your birthday because she’s getting older or because you’re getting older. 🥺
