Others are saying they experience this, but couldn’t that be solved by using one of the many projects that completely spoof the history? I mean there are folks with histories which would make you greeen with envy , but you can have the sam

The key distinction is “take-homes as the first round ”. IME OP is right, do not do a take-home as a first interview round before you even have any chance to ask them questions. They’re not serious and will likely ghost you. Even if they a

People always bring this up like it’s a big deal, but most users aren’t interested in starting a business. We just wanna play with LLMs. Frankly, I’m glad we don’t have a bunch of llamas in different skins being hawked like the current crop

It depends on domain, and we have mostly webdevs in this thread. When I joined a kernel gfx driver team, the expected ramp time was ~6 months. My friend working on Mesa had a >1 year ramp time! If I open the source for a Django or React

What can they realistically check? I see two data points they could have: time when the template was downloaded (assuming it’s a unique link only you can access, and you didn’t download it > once/all downloads are logged) or emailed

Yeah, it can work. Valve is private and basically owns the pc game distribution market. Even competing agains industry titans like MS. I’m not sure I know another example, so maybe it’s very rare.

Just append .json to any Reddit URL and you'll get a full dump of that page, we'll see if they get rid of this feature as well. Way easier than scraping.

Depends on state, I live in a 1-party consent state. Thus, I record all my interviews so I can review them later... and use them if I find a need to. Remember: always assume you're being recorded. Even if it's illegal the court

Do you have any recent figures for job placement? The market is very tough right now, and even well qualified seniors can’t find work. The general consensus is if you don’t have a degree you shouldn’t even bother (unless you have many YoE

This is another reason to use OSS LLMs: the bar to entry is much higher, so they’re not targeted for countermeasures and they circumvent human pattern-matching. You’re less likely to be “found out”, especially with there being LOTS of fine-

Yes, since 2010: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_warning_sou... They turn off over ~18MPH, though. After that, tire noise is much louder. As loud as an ICE car. So, realistically, you’d hear a Prius

If you use the web interface (oobabooga), then training a LoRa is as easy as clicking the "training" tab, keeping all the defaults, and giving it a flat text file of your data. The defaults are sane enough to not begin undermining

In his recent talk for the FSF at Boston Stallman suggested that published weights are open source. I guess because they’re modifiable and auditable. It’s an interesting argument. So far, I’ve managed to modify llama myself so I guess so??

It doesn't matter what any of us think. My local LLAMA install will readily return how to make tannerite-style explosives and more. The cat was arguably never in the bag.
