God damnit

I like to redirect it. “If you would say {banned phrases} instead say ‘let me think’”

Redis devrel stealing shock content to juice engagement on LinkedIn. Who is approving this.

This isn’t it. We have got to do better.

Next week

My infra guy explaining an AWS feature to me:

“It’s like a GROUP BY in SQL”

instantly clicked, thanks for speaking my language

New logo.

Welcome to Downlink.

Ridership yesterday was 192k!

Coming soon

The latency and cost savings of small models is substantial. 100x faster and cheaper.

The issue is dev time. Time spent curating, training, evaluating, and deployment.

What if the small models trained automatically?

I’m building this.

Cursor composer will happily search for env files in your repo and share the secrets with itself!

I’m moving on from Snowflake native apps. Titan core will continue as open source

It’s in limited preview now, I hope to share more by the end of February

I'm working on something new. I'll have more to announce soon.

Shit, he found me

I tried to do this a few years ago but Snowflake didn’t have the right primitives, big surprise. Our user model was 15+ MVs glued together.

Cool to see it actually shipped.

Large Language Models explained briefly YouTube video by 3Blue1Brown

3blue1brown has a great video for this youtu.be/LPZh9BOjkQs?...

Do they allow technical talks from practitioners? Snowflake only permits customer talks, and it shows.

Never enough with screenshots

The algorithm needs to learn preferences better then

10x more politics posts on my Bsky feed than on Twitter. The custom feeds don’t help.

We need a social credit score for restaurants. I don’t customize or ask questions, I just point at the thing I want.

I deserve some recognition. I should get to cut the line.

Dylan is coveted as fuck

144 levels, 40ft each, a mile deep. It’s gonna take 8 hours for an angry mob to get from down deep to the top at a fast pace. And you’ll be exhausted when you get there.

Silo season 2

It was 4 episodes too long, way too dark, and completely threw out the idea that it takes DAYS to walk up.

The ending was cool at least.

I’m just annoyed at framing this as a “metacognition” issue when it’s closer to “bad with number”

LLMs are like Gorillas who learned sign language. They don’t understand what love is they just want banana.

These people cannot be serious. They saw this and shipped the paper anyway.

Nature is a joke.

One more time for the people in the back:

YOU CANNOT ASK LLMs FOR A CONFIDENCE SCORE. THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
