Internal retrieval model benchmarks (MTEB, e-commerce and other gold sets). These tests are really broad, interesting how well OpenAI generalises. Lot of dims though, will add MRL soon…

This is the future of data science development. Zerve is a new web-based IDE. It's block-based like a Jupyter notebook but follows a different philosophy, and the experience is much different. Check the attached video. I'll walk you through a simple example. Zerve is not a fork of Jupyter. It's a completely reimagined experience where collaboration is a first-class citizen. But there's something else: Unlike in a regular notebook, you can deploy your models directly from Zerve. They store and cache every asset we use and generate inside a notebook, so it takes seconds to deploy your work. A few additional notes about Zerve: 1. It's web-based, so you can access your work anywhere. 2. Collaboration is a first-class citizen. 3. You can deploy your code without going anywhere. 4. It promotes code modularity by using blocks. 5. You can use multiple languages together. 6. You can run code blocks in parallel. Zerve organizes your code as a DAG. Each block inherits the state of every block before it. Everything runs in a serverless architecture. Zerve is free. You can start using it right now by visiting hubs.ly/Q02qxwnh0. Thanks to the team for answering my questions and sponsoring this post.

Just updated to 11.4 and Logic Pro has crash twice in 30mins :(. Previously only once or twice in 2 years.

Ok, so now 3 times. Whilst I'm complaining, the "Join" button on the "Do you want to join <personal hotspot X>" notification has not worked since 11.2, but manually selecting the network in the Wifi menu works fine. Grrr...

Just posted an article on how to setup @monogramcc for Logic Pro and @SpitfireAudio libraries - including how to control the playhead in Logic from a dial. Happy to report I've not seen any dropouts from the new kit @chensonmusic dhowden.medium.com/how-to-se…

We’ve got multiple people at @containercamp in Melbourne this week. Come say hi. We’ve been running #Kubernetes in production for over 2 years, excited to see the adoption. And we’re hiring 😎

Switched to @googlecloud CDN and seeing very slow request times for 20k JS files. Immediate subsequent calls are better (~50ms), but leave it 5mins and it's back to being sllloooowwww (~300ms). Will have to switch back to CloudFront at this rate.

Apparently it's been an issue since El Cap, but only just started for me with High Sierra :-( mackungfu.org/el-capitan-s-c…

Upgrading to High Sierra has messed up my display color profile - everything has a very slight grey tint to it now :/
