finally met @_sonith at the waterloo @zfellows meet s/o @adiprasadd @akatoshouse for hosting
ever wondered how billion-param transformers are actually trained across massive TPU clusters? i just built one from scratch and wrote a step-by-step guide (with code). introducing JAXformer: a modern transformer with n-D parallelism written entirely in JAX. here's how 👇
Such a well-documented guide, absolute masterpiece even for beginners @chinmayjindal_ is the 🐐

hosting a coworking session + hangout for young builders (< 21) in toronto this thursday @newsystems_ come work on your next big project, ml model, personal site, college apps, a piece of art, or anything else you're building. 3 hrs of work + hangout @ reply or DM for invite
hosted the first @teenbuildclub meetup a few weeks ago. wasn’t sure what would happen, but it went really well. we packed a coffee shop with 20+ teens building crazy stuff: chrome extensions, drones, rockets and consumed copious amounts of matcha. 1/3
Live after almost a year of iterating; completely free + open-source!
copilot might be my new favourite agent
🏃♂️🔬 everyday this month
watched 3 hours of posthog session replays of people using our site and now i'm so emotionally attached to their little cursor movements
toronto was going great until i took my glasses off in the shower and locked eyes with a flying cockroach that also lives here now
me: just one more TypeScript tweak claude: Error: no changes to make also claude: your usage limit is up love a tool that gatekeeps AND gaslights
i think i started a movement
