Excellent kachō-e prompt - working on something similar and found it hard to get the right balance between sharp outlines and watercolors, and especially plant morphology is dicey (eg plants like Cacao that fruit from the trunk instead of branch tips).
Did anyone come across projects that also nail that aspect well?
Very good question - posted it for awareness / sparking hopefully nuanced “are we the baddies here?” reflection in the community, and curious folks to preorder.
If anyone ever writes a post of why that error keeps happening with browsers that should support it, I'd be incredibly grateful. Keep seeing it in our (unrelated to OP company) Sentry logs and zero chance to reproduce them.
You still have a lot of credibility to not be put into the number-go-up bracket and the social capital to overcome the political and power structures you had to face for two decades and know more about than most people by having built your company.
But as long as I don't see somewhat more transparent conversations with the people in your orbit like patio11, Matt Levine, Kyla etc, where you address how you'll actually tackle the non-technical challenges ahead, this GTM communication and site looks like every other 2019 JPM, HSBC etc "something blockchain" announcement and hard to get behind as something that might as well be really different this time, and not be killed/sidelined by vested interests. Including your own.
I’m sure the current administration will put prudent oversight in place for that not to happen.
But I guess we will find out in a 2027 Bessent presser announcing the Fed stepping in.
More serious answer: the bigger risk is trusting SV types to be content with a couple of percent in spread, and not starting to pull all kind of shenanigans to juice returns to a point where it becomes much harder to bail them out vs just taking back the treasuries.
US government solvency seems, as crazy as it sounds, less of an issue, as evidenced by the brief tantrums with absolutely no real effects beyond a couple of protesting headlines in the recent months. Where else are people around the world going to put their money? But as gifted as the current gov crew is at turning privilege into disaster, we're probably going to find out soon enough if there are any actual limits to that.
Normally not too much sympathy for the 7 or so 'sober' ECB folks, but I do not envy them for having to endure their hyped up CBDC colleagues at Robert Johnson at 3am…
It’s a hilarious definition of “fix” but the basic argument is that when you mandate stablecoins to hold treasuries and they start seeing actual adoption, you create demand/sink for a couple extra trillion dollars of treasury bonds.
Eg if Australian locals suddenly switch transacting cocaine at scale in Tether instead of AUD, the US government can borrow more money by providing that collateral to Tether.
Thanks a ton! Was afraid that that's the answer - and that there's no reasonably priced aggregator/abstraction layer, eg like https://open-meteo.com for ECMWF.
Nice! Need to implement realtime lightning data in a project soon, WIS2 is great for overall weather details but doesn't have a good temporal lightning resolution. Has anyone reached out to both and done that recently with WWLLN and/or Blitzortung?
The former seems to have better coverage especially across the southern hemisphere.
I’d still look into fine tuning. One of the main issues I’m struggling with is that even reasonably simple drivers often need to be aware of Application Notes etc that would single handedly blow past any context window. So giving the model a fighting chance by narrowing the space might be worthwhile here. Top 20 vendors datasheets/docs, handpicked sites and forums etc.
Maybe that'll help them hire someone who can at least respond to S2 API key requests...
Being open is great, but if over the course of 6 months 3 different entities (including 2 well known universities) apply and send more than a dozen follow ups to 3 different "Reach out to us!" emails with exactly 0 response, the "open" starts sounding like it's coming from Facebook.
The KEF come with cloth covers, but they're too elastic to deter a determined toddler. The smaller Genelec like the 8040's are quite protected and show up on somewhat trusted second hand sites like reverb.com for about ~$500-800 pair every now and then, which is hard to beat given the built in amps.
Eizo CS2740, really happy with them. Weird anecdote: they weren't available in the US at the time yet, so I got them off amazon.co.jp, and it was the most impressive thoughtful multi-layer cardboard packaging I ever got from any reseller. Probably my disdain for Amazon worker treatment and appreciation for Japanese care no matter what, all standing there in one impressive confusing package.
