Chris Dixon just spent 2 years investing in and hyping NFTs. AI is a legitimate innovation that can do without all of the “Web3” con artists driving any aspect of it. Source: https://cdixon.org

> JMPC is no longer under investigation for Epstein. Yes they are, JPMC is still being sued by the Virgin Islands government. They have a settlement that still needs to be approved with the victims.

I notice that the python community seems to love workbooks/notebooks but I have to say as a non-python dev, they drive me up the wall. I just want to deal with “regular” code and not have an entire gui environment with code and text in

OpenAI’s models were a joke too, until they weren’t. It’s just a matter of time until the open source models catch up.

But the output of the LLM is trained on a synthesis of multiple inputs. Even if every input has information loss, new and novel combinations can be created. I imagine it’s the same for humans since we have lossy memory.

I vote with my feet. I don’t use Twitter anymore because of Musk and now I won’t use Reddit because of spez. Tbh, it feels great getting these sites out of my life.

Do you realize that what I said is completely valid and true? Managers: Do not discuss your ex-employee’s work in public. It’s risking their reputation and unprofessional.

> It's not unethical to talk about anyone publicly. If you’re a manager, it most certainly is unethical to talk about someone you’ve managed publicly. I’m hardly the first person to say this. There’s tons of information out there co

It’s not whether you or I get value out of it. It’s unethical to talk about people you’ve managed publicly. Most managers won’t even get into details in a private reference check for liability and ethical reasons.

He doesn’t need to critique the market. He’s also wrong. MS is doing fine with dev tools (VS Code, GitHub…). Maybe this attitude is why Google has fallen so far behind in dev mindshare?

Who would you say is capturing the value created by this software, and how can we fix it so that value goes to the people who wrote the software? Not sure I have an answer but that shareholders and executives get the vast majority of the ga

Very often, yes. But if their boss harassed them (or say tried to force RTO), they could quit and not worry about ending up on the street.

If the work is not getting done, spying on people isn’t going to improve things. If you want people to work, you have to properly motivate them. That means fair wages and non-toxic management.

> Perhaps we could make paying for such people voluntary? I’d like to opt out of paying for war but sadly I can’t. My tax dollars going to help people instead of kill and oppress them seems like a huge upgrade.

Elon Musk has been censoring things left and right, with and without excuse. This isn’t about some sneaky way to censor Twitter. Twitter is already censored, just not hate speech.

I quoted them twice because two (now three) people in this thread said the tweets weren’t that bad, so people should see for themselves exactly what these users are endorsing.

“Altruistic purposes”, what would those be? I’ve only seen him censor his opponents, spew bog standard far-right talking points and make poor product decisions. How is that “altruistic”?

If I want to know if a company is toxic, Blind is a lot more useful than Glassdoor. People will speak the truth while they’re at the company.

It’s been a lot longer than 10 years. The empty, massive , underground bus/train “depot” that sits under the downtown has multiple track gauges running through it from all the failed projects.

Really? Because Blind seems like a much better Glassdoor if your goal is to understand what it’s actually like inside a company.

I realize that the CEO was born into a family where they were handed their position. You don’t get to the top by “working hard” that’s a sucker’s game. You need to be born to the right family, grease the right palms and be in the right plac

I think being angry is a natural and healthy response to the current economic reality. The juniors you’re working with have it right. If the CEO is going to make 100X as much as me, I’m going to do my best to work 100X less than they do. Ho
