Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. 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."

Not 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")])`

This is an unironically great tune. Can’t believe it has the second least listens of Surf’s Up on Spotify

Ugh. Google sent me down some insane logging roads outside of Kelowna. Brutal when that happens.

It’s sure not the antenna it came with but very pleased I repaired it myself

Turns out it was booking.com that oversold the ticket, not the hotel. So they’re the bad actors this time.

Do I know anyone who's been enriching long videos with VLMs, like Gemini and soon Nova? Would love to pick your brain.

Hotels 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.

Deprecating 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.

The 92% discount on Mass Effect Legendary is nuts. Amazing value.

Not that I need to know I'm valid but I'd like the reassurance.

Still 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.

OpenAI Is A Bad Business
OpenAI, a non-profit AI company that will lose anywhere from $4 billion to $5 billion this year, will at some point in the next six or so months convert into a for-profit AI company, at which point it...

My 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.

How does the show pick the morning song? Do you pick it? Does a different person pick it on rotation?
