The Transformer model is one of the most important contributions to modern AI. It powers Bard and is the "T" in ChatGPT. The 2017 Google paper, “Attention Is All You Need” is well written, but doesn't really explain how it works. So, here’s my "Transformers in a Nutshell”...

Q: What is the *best* approach to automated mobile testing? How do you define the ratio between unit, snapshot, and UI tests? A: Sorry to tell you, but there is no "best" approach, only tradeoffs. Take a look at how almost each app dev team takes a different approach (cont'd):

This is a nice, clear, explanation of how to use dagger in a multi module setup. This is also very similar to what I've seen work well at Airbnb and Tonal. medium.com/@vlastobrecka/dag…

Hi, is creating ContextWrapper instance to be used for theming/resolving attribute values of not-currently-set-theme expensive? Per fragment? Per recyclerview item? Thanks!
Hi, is there a way to make DiffUtil work with RV.invalidateItemDecorations ? I need to invalidate since my margins are based on type of items, but when I do call the invalidate, it mostly does nothing, it only works when posted, but then animations from diffutil glitch out :(

I'm never again making any of my apps free. You get hateful reviews from idiots who don't even want the app. *sigh*
