I love seeing The Power Broker is in this list. His books is incredible. I wish more people would slog through it. I've personally bought it for at least 5 people and no one can seem to finish it.

i wish this was my experience, it's basically the opposite. im shipping a little faster -- but spending endless amounts of time reviewing LLM-generated code that usually isnt production ready.

I just finished it last week - as a father to young children, I have to admit I felt like crying by the end. It was a great book nonetheless, especially for someone who doesnt usually enjoy fiction.

Is there someone I can email directly about fine-tuning - all my models have been queued for 24/48 hours and your customer support seems non-existent

20? I have 1 and it seems they can only be configured up to 4.
I think we agree then - Canada makes "a lot" of of wine; it's possible to enjoy drinking it, but take the same grape in Europe and it will be better!!
My response to this would be drink more Syrah from Northern Rhone, because there is no producer in Canada that is producing Syrah anywhere near the quality (find me someone trying to claim they are; they cant the soil and climate are too different) . You can say it's subjective, but we both know it's not. I made one exception, Riesling, because their are some good expressions in cold weather.

If you dont believe me go find a bottle of this Chave (https://www.klwines.com/products/details/2010088) and drink them side-by-side.

President Lincoln by William Lee Miller about the magnanimity of Lincoln

God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre by Richard Grant about hiking through cartel-run Mexico alone

Unsurprising. As a US-based wine drinker, California wine feels overpriced and inferior to European imports. Add in Huberman convincing Gen Z that all alcohol is harmful, and the trend makes complete sense.
because it sucks lol
The wine from Canada is not good, unless you like dessert wine/icewine. Maybe there are some exceptions for riesling but it's too cold to grow nice vines there.
I would have thought both were kinda expensive.
Why arnt they doing a tower catch ?

well i cant speak for anyone else, but I can tell you there are quite a few books on transformers etc and this one does the best job of explaining how the guts (attention heads etc) work. has it good visualizations too

I changed the readme in my repo to say you have to send me a personal email if you want me to merge.

https://github.com/josephmisiti/awesome-machine-learning

It's helped a lot. Agents haven't figured out how to do that yet, or sendgrid, sns, etc are doing the hard work for me.

Re:Transformers Explained Visually on Monday September 21, 2026 @08:21PM (#49795237)
seconded, the book is very good.

As someone who uses it everyday, it's a very impressive piece of technology, is it not?

so if you drink beer, you're automatically an alcoholic - I bet you're fun to hang out with
the OP comment was idiotic, you're also probably not going to be splitting at the atom any time soon.

They should focus on fixing claude code, as I just canceled my 200/month subscription for codex because it's quality has degraded so much.
