Both dates I went on this weekend had very annoying dogs. What’s going on here? all I seek is a girl who wants to build an empire, wage war and destruction on our enemies, and go on cute park dates with me Cats are acceptable, but dogs seem to be net negative across the board

Playing around with @LangChainAI this morning and hacked together little Siri -- only a few lines of code! Whisper -> FLAN, running locally Seems like the library wasn't designed with audio in mind, but it's nice and modular so adding the functionality was easy :) Ty @hwchase17

I grew up with dogs, I’ve lived with dogs since, and a bunch of my friends have dogs, and it’s a constantly negative experience. They’re dirty, loud, often violent, and best case uninteresting. Why are we obsessed with them?

one of my housemates is running an incredibly successful AI startup — and I want some of that sweet equity. The only problem: two days ago he told me (at gunpoint) that he’d never hire me. 24 hours later, he offered me CTO. Here’s the 1 secret to how I convinced him: 👇
