Attention! Today is World Pi Day, 22/7 or 3.14285, closer to the real value of Pi than American Pi (3.14). Please do not boost this as it confuses and annoys Americans.

Growing up in an economy with a fraction of western buying power, having a copy of National Geographic was a treasure. I still remember the feeling of flipping the pages of those amazing photos. *goodbye kiss*

Blog post: using OxyPlot charts in an @avaloniaui app with funcUI. If I am going to write a desktop app, I'd much rather use an Elmish loop / MVU!
Shout out to @josua_jaeger @sleepyfrans @jmarr and @angelmunoz for the wonderful work on the library + docs, this was fun :)

The second conference this year that I got “uninvited” from because I only agreed to speak if there was at least one female co-speaker (i.e. at least 15%) on the roster and the organizers were unable to fulfil that quota. 🤷‍♂️😔

The worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.

People are misunderstanding and misusing LLMs.

Their most considerable value is not what they "know" (i.e. the ability to [sometimes] answer questions) but rather their ability to reason about a given text.

With 32K tokens prompt size in GPT-4, the vast majority of work should be spent on filling this prompt with relevant context and designing the prompts to force AI to answer questions based on the prompt rather than its internal "knowledge".
