The big problem is reward risk. Risk is 15,000,000 euros. Reward is peanuts. In the past we could choose to work for peanuts with low risk. Now we can't. We have to work for nothing or work for a lot to have a chance of covering compli

Can't we find a way to cure lawyerism? That's a terrible debilitating sickness. I expect that Kennedyism is also hereditary. Another one.

Our early warning AI powered polar bear detector proved it's worth this morning. The detector is a result of a collaboration between Kim Hendrikse from Wildlife Security Innovations, The Netherlands and Lars Holst Hansen from Copenhag

So okay, assuming they were able to tell a story. Are the people in Europe that have to listen to that story not also part of the problem? This highlights the telling part, but the people who have to listen are also different from people in

That's also true. I actually was glad that I didn't get the job, because at that stage of Google development they were definately underpaying people who wanted "To work for Google". At least in Europe. It appears that th

I had a little ego for sure. I think under the circumstances that is not too much. Anyone who puts in really a lot of work to improve their knowledge has a little ego. Calling that "a bit much ego" in this context is harsh. I am i

Very well written and so true. It's not even normal stress, which is fine, it's high stakes stress, plus sometime working under the duress of being insulted. I once went to a job interview with Google. I built one of the first loc

But you don't know who voted for them. In Europe, laws are also formulated by a group called "The high level group" I believe, and the members of this group are anonymous.

And what's worse is that they push the design work to the bottom of the pay rung, saying "You guys know it better, you should do the design". And that's architechs and higher managers doing this.

"Later, I learned that many managers are paid less than senior programmers." Not in Europe.

Unfortunately the EU is far from democratic. The people making these decisions are allowed to be anonymous as well.

Taxing people more will simply mean there’s more weapons bought to murder people with.

How did BBB ever get a business off the ground based on paid for acceditation??? Were they just smooth talkers?

You would think it would be illegal to sell compute resources into Europe without an artificial expiration date controlled by a US company.

Is there a reason why the secure boot thing could not have had several secure boot slots and each one independent of others? So that microsoft world could run securely and other people could boot their system securely out of another slot? J

So why are managers paid more than engineers? It doesn't make any sense. Seriously.. it's not like they add more value to the company.

Maybe they spent it all on the Birkin bag?

I'm kinda torn between the Birkin bag and this.

Is that the same official that says that no one has been killed at the food check points ?

I really like the work that Microsoft did with Pytorch Wildlife but not brave enough to trust the MIT license they put on their code that uses Ultralytics code and all attempts to check if it was okay for them to change the licenses seem to

by hcfman 1y ago
Doesn't this happen all the time with Ultralytics yolo code? They use an AGPL license, which to my understand means that anything that links with this code also becomes AGPL. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is the license also

Somehow I don't see those as related. Any use of nukes will not be an act of rationality. That's the utter stupidity behind this belief in MAD keeping us safe.

There's always a joker somewhere :-) Try calling up, E-mailing or anything else with Dutch politians. No one will talk to you, answer your E-mails, allow you to call them. They make themselves unreachable.
