Teej @teej.bsky.social · 28/02/2025The 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. 1171

Teej @teej.bsky.social · 03/02/2025I'm working on something new. I'll have more to announce soon. 1120
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 23/01/2025I 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. 030

Teej @teej.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Do they allow technical talks from practitioners? Snowflake only permits customer talks, and it shows. 120
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 21/01/202510x more politics posts on my Bsky feed than on Twitter. The custom feeds don’t help. 340

Teej @teej.bsky.social · 19/01/2025We 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. 040
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 18/01/2025144 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. 100
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Silo 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. 110
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 17/01/2025I’m just annoyed at framing this as a “metacognition” issue when it’s closer to “bad with number” 020
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 17/01/2025LLMs are like Gorillas who learned sign language. They don’t understand what love is they just want banana. 120
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 17/01/2025These people cannot be serious. They saw this and shipped the paper anyway. Nature is a joke. 221
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 17/01/2025One more time for the people in the back: YOU CANNOT ASK LLMs FOR A CONFIDENCE SCORE. THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. 3101
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 17/01/2025LLMs cannot assess their own confidence. They are not capable of this task. The flaw was assuming they could. 020
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I have zero tolerance for do-nothings who turn emergencies into culture war BS. 050
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 09/01/2025VCs making fun of first responders in the middle of a major emergency makes me sick. What the hell is your problem. Also, no one gives a fuck who your daddy was. 180
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I’ve seen it work, but only if: 1/ an individual has the drive to learn it 2/ there’s top-down pressure and alignment on data and self sufficiency It worked great when the CEO would fire VPs if they can’t use Excel 020
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Swallowing a specific exception? I do that all the time. Swallowing all exceptions has burned me so many times. 120
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Codeforces problems have discrete output. So presumably they execute the code locally and perform the consensus vote based on the output. And then, randomly pick a solution, or pick fastest? Also I don’t believe they disclosed N for this. 64 was for frontier math. 020
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 19/12/2024This scene was one of the most brutal things I've ever watched! 000
Teej @teej.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I was NOT prepared for when nostalgia came for me. The resurgence of early 2000s music is firing long-dormant neurons in my brain. 070
