Cloudflare uses a wall of about 100 lava lamps in its San Francisco lobby to help generate unpredictable random data for internet encryption.

What are we talking about here - Spotify or Shopify ?

If Shopify - and you are concerned about their engineering teams, please consider that Shopify's revenue grew from roughly $205 million in 2015 to $11.56 billion in 2025, reflecting an explosive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 45% across the past decade. Market validates !

I have nothing to add about Spotify - I use it to listen to music and it works well for me !

Paraphrasing Franklin and Churchill, those who trade some security for some convenience may soon find themselves possessed of neither at all.

SFO is one of the nicest and cleanest airports I frequently transit through. I am from Florida.

Yes, for example, if you are a seller on the Shopify Platform. Lookup Shopify SimGym, and Javier Moreno's tech blog about it.

If we think of GenAI models as a compression implementation. Generally, text compresses extremely well. Images and video do not. Yet state-of-the-art text-to-image and text-to-video models are often much smaller (in parameter count) than large language models like Llama-3. Maybe vision models are small because we’re not actually compressing very much of the visual world. The training data covers a narrow, human-biased manifold of common scenes, objects, and styles. The combinatorial space of visual reality remains largely unexplored. I am looking towards what else is out there outside of the human-biased manifold.

Not wrong but markdown with English may be the most used DSL, second only to a language itself. Volume over quality.

Nokia also makes complex backbone carrier-grade network switches based on the Intellectual Property portfolio they acquired from Nortel.

Much respect for the artist 50 Cent - converted his rap music success into respectable business ventures (Vitamin Water, others). So he is worth much more now!

I've vibe-coded a website about vibe coding websites. I used GPT-5 and it inserted an easter egg that was found by a human front-end dev, to my amusement. Easter eggs must be in-distribution!

(No I am not sharing the link as I was downvoted for it before - search for it. Hint: built with vibe)
