OK, even if you prepare, most carriers still fail. Here's the rundown: 1. @ATT's transfer eSIM flow is broken because it requires 2FA from the phone that was repaired (via a recycled mainboard) 2. @Google_fi only lets you transfer one line and the one I wanted to move over was the secondary. I had to cancel it 3. @Visible's eSIM transfer mostly worked as intended, except I was totally logged out on the restored-from-backup device, so it prompted me to start new service rather than restore from backup. Luckily I could use e-mail as a second factor

eSIMs are great and all, I really enjoy using Ubiji and/or Saily when I travel. However, if you get your iPhone repaired and they swap the mainboard (my Lightning port stopped working), then you need to bring another device to the Apple store to re-activate. Also, turn off account security temporarily with your cell carrier. In sum: 1. Bring a charger and charge cable to prove to the Apple store employee that the phone no longer charges 2. Turn off account migration/SIM swap security 3. Bring a second device (laptop, iPad, etc.) that's already logged into your iCloud 4. Hope for the best (like your partner on your cell plan is still in cell service and can be your second factor, if need be) While I could restore from iCloud backup (I normally use a cable to back up my phone when I upgrade, but couldn't do that with a busted port, nor would Wi-Fi backup work without a port connection first), I was then prompted to do a 30-minute iOS upgrade (no way to bypass). So restoring your phone after a repair, is a massive time waste with eSIMs, unless you do your homework and thoroughly prepare in advance.

@JeffDean Are you ReLU sure that's the best way to calculate it? Sounds taxing!

@mickeyxfriedman So incredibly subjective, but tantalizing nonetheless

@Ne_oL @_akhaliq @deepseek_ai Trailing comma after a list item can be convenient if you’re commenting out a later line, or deleting it altogether, if items in a list fall on multiple lines

@npew I like this better than "Bayes Valley," in part because PG&E has a large substation in the Mission.⚡️ Even if mechanical, not electrical transmission was the intent behind o1's name

Fun generative video clips with @krea_ai, courtesy of @ErwannMillon and team. First pass, but should make for some fun projection mapping tomorrow night with @welovesfofficial!

Quantization update! Transformers is now compatible with models quantized with llm-compressor library from @vllm_project or models in compressed-tensors format. This means that you can also enjoy high quality quantized models from the @neuralmagic team!

PSA: If you're looking for properly quantized LLMs, huggingface.co/nm-testing (NeuralMagic, creator of Marlin) is the new Tom Jobbins huggingface.co/TheBloke By that I mean you'll find recent models to easily run with @vllm_project, text-generation-webui, or @OpenWebUI

@alexandr_wang You mean "default search engine" in Safari, *not* "default browser." Directionally correct, specifically inaccurate, and spelled out in the actual contract.
