Destin from Smarter Every Day shows us around some fascinating objects on display at a warehousing/logistics/supply-chain industry expo. 39 minutes. Awesome.

Hello, summer!

It’s strong and I love it

A 2:1 ratio of lemon juice to sugar, a 3:1 ratio of water to lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and plenty of ice results in a perfectly chilled, sweet-tart lemonade that will quench any thirst

This is basically how I make lemonade with E.

AI vocabulary words

(It’s new. Tell me if you hate it.)

• Context Window. It’s not a window at all. But you knew that. ;) It’s basically the size of the “prompt” plus the response that the Model can contain and generate. The “working memory” for a given Model.
• Did you know: when using LLM “chat” apps like ChatGPT, each time you send a new message, the Model is receiving (essentially) the entire chat transcript. This, and filling a Context Window is why long chat threads enter “the dumb zone”. But we’re not there yet. Just remember: new topic, new thread. ;)

Great questions

What specific actions make you feel welcomed?

I collect great questions. You can see more in a little app I built.

Fifteen years

I recently celebrated 15 years on my team at work. That’s wild! I get to work with some of the most talented, passionate people on the planet. It’s hard to imagine a better place and culture for me. I am so grateful.

Meanwhile, doing some math here… I’ve been building things on the internet for about 30 years!

Yeeeesh!

Good story grandpa.

This one is all facts and no deep thoughts. Hope that’s okay sometimes?
