Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us." 680225436182
Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 07/01/2025Not super well documented but the google-cloud-platform SDK will let you pass in your own headers with request_metadata. This means you can force future generate_content() calls to only use provisioned throughput. `vertexai.init(request_metadata=[("x-vertex-ai-llm-request-type","dedicated")])` 100

Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 15/12/2024Ugh. Google sent me down some insane logging roads outside of Kelowna. Brutal when that happens. 100

Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 05/12/2024Turns out it was booking.com that oversold the ticket, not the hotel.

Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 04/12/2024Do I know anyone who's been enriching long videos with VLMs, like Gemini and soon Nova? Would love to pick your brain. 000
Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 04/12/2024Hotels in Vancouver are notifying customers that they’ve overbooked and are cancelling reservations. I would bet so much money they thought “Let’s see how much we can get?” and then booted the folks whom booked early. 100
Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 28/11/2024Deprecating AutoML for text makes sense. AutoML for video still lives, which doesn't surprise me given Gemini's 1 fps downsampling for video content. Curious if and when the downsampling will be removed. 000
Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 28/11/2024The 92% discount on Mass Effect Legendary is nuts. Amazing value. 110

Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 27/11/2024Still one of the more interesting finds with LLMs. They sure like clarity. When given two tables with the same data, the LLM's chain of thought shows the model decided to choose the table that actually provided details in the table schema. 010
Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 07/10/2024It’s a constant reminder that most are passively online 010

Taylor Stacey @taylorstacey.ca · 21/03/2024My building’s gym is genuinely one of my favourite parts of living in an apartment. Everyone chips in, the whole thing costs hardly anything when spread out, we can afford a ton of nice equipment, and at least one person in the building is motivated enough to get some use out of it. 020
