An apology acknowledges wrong doing. Zuckerberg expressed sorrow about a thing that happened, then pats meta (himself) on the back for their “industry leading” moderation.

So much spilled ink reading tea leaves, i.e., tortured historical analogies. We have market data on existing headset efforts, and we will have data on the adoption of the Vision Pro very soon. I'm not sure who this analysis benefits ot

This seems like a plausible and powerful business model. Hopefully people reject it.

Sorry, that's right. You can probably guess that all of my Windows Docker use is with Linux images. This particular script wouldn't work as there is no node image for a native windows host (unless there is? again, I'm ignoran

I really like what this script is doing - it's specifying system level dependencies, a database schema, an interpreter, the code that runs on that interpreter, the data (on disk!) required by that code, and an invocation to execute the

Do what feels right for you, and make sure you're doing that in a way that ethical for those around you and the rest of the world. It sounds like our paths getting there were a bit different, but I also took a significant break from my

No offense meant to OP, but this is a good example how the commercialization of criticism can really suck the joy out of things.

Not to nitpick, but I wonder if we can better define "acceptable." For a good layoff outcome, I'd expect the employee to find a new gig within a few months, that's +/- X% of their previous comp. Open question: has a

That’s right, I didn’t mean to imply theft of any kind. I’m mostly pointing out that both companies sort of outsourced the body design (BYD in a more questionable way) as they figured out how to grow. Both companies were quite small product

> In 2009 the car sold in 96 units, and only seven cars were sold in the full 2010 fiscal year. Production has now ceased. In all, the car sold in only 103 units This is like saying we should ignore Tesla because the only car they sold i

Game marketing no longer happens through magazines and legacy websites, but direct to consumer marketing (companies putting trailers on youtube and holding their own live streams) and influencer marketing (Twitch, Youtube, etc). The closest

If I'm reading this correctly, the author is at least partially aiming at public health campaigns designed to prevent deaths, on the margin, stemming from the US opioid crisis. Only in the second to last paragraph does the author make

Is training with user-generated content a way to launder copyrighted images? That is, if I upload an image of Ironman or whatever to my Facebook or Instagram page as a public post and Meta trains their model on that data, is there wording i

Apologies for the unproductive comment, but this is a clown show and the damage can’t be undone. Sam going to Microsoft is likely the end of open ai as an entity.

I suspect they’ll quit, and the “top” N percent will be picked up by Microsoft with healthy comp packages. Microsoft will have effectively purchased the company for $10 billion. The net upside of this coup business may just flow to Microsof

Anecdotal evidence of macro trends aside, it isn't clear to me what value Joe Coffee provides. It seems like they are a SaaS reseller for a particular vertical (coffee shops), and have some amount of custom software. My local, Barrett&

Layoffs are always a bummer, and folks in gaming have more than their share to deal with (it seems, I don't actually know how it compares with other industries). However, seeing the Crown channel go isn't a big surprise. In fact,

I read that story as well, and while the company does promise increases in efficiency, the whole thing seems like a very expensive way to do very little. Based on light googling, a mature tree can capture about 50lbs of carbon a year [1]. A

I’m a first gen deck owner and am constantly impressed by the quality of the product. The hardware is good, more than good enough, but the fact that it is running windows games mostly seemlessly is incredible. Yes, I know wine has been arou

While personally I'd like to see a reduction in obesity rates by focusing on causes (e.g., "sugar taxes" and the like), it's hard to deny the positive impact of these drugs. Obesity is such a destructive epidemic in my c

This reminds me of efforts I've been a part of to open source libraries and others bits of code at companies large and small. The reality is that most employment contracts consider the employee's considered made for hire, meaning
