I very much depend on my pay check to sustain my life in the long run, although worker protections and a small (!) nest egg make it so I wouldn’t have to put up with this kind of abuse. I see employment as an agreement for a set number of h

I hope you replied something like 'No, meeting this project deadline is more important than YOUR child dying, to me this is a paycheck.' That's what I would've been thinking in the shower 2 days after the conversation, a

An installer extracts and moves a bunch of files from a blob to the filesystem, writes registry values (on Windows anyway), sets environment variables, sets up services, permissions and a bunch of other things, does it not? A ROM is a binar

I feel like the Source engine for Half-Life 2 had some industry shaking physics due to their Havok implementation, which released in the same year. Doom 3 had cool gritty horror looks, but HL2 blew it out of the water SOTA wise, in my opini

I disagree, even for successful projects retrospection toward mistakes is worth the pain to learn.

You could just put it in your calendar. 'Check if that hacky bugfix at ~/.dirtyhack.sh is still required with chmod -x ~/.dirtyhack.sh'

Maybe weighted is the wrong term, it’s a threshold and that seems prudent.

Well if you’re prepared to sell a kidney for a flux capacitor and a DeLorean, go for it.

I think account age and activity should be weighted into that equation.

I wouldn’t be surprised, good point. But closed door deals in the trillions? Because we’re coming up on those numbers.

If the most expensive models yet to come will end up behind bars by default, what is the economic incentive to make them in the first place?

I'd be the first to admit this alternative is less than ideal since it adds yet another device, but you could carry a battery powered MiFi router (even power it off to conserve it) to supply a mobile connection, and then a feature phon

You’re failing the shibboleths though. You don’t drive a motorcycle, you ride one. A 500cc bike is low mid range, not a beast. You can’t hear rolling or engine noise of cars, trucks or busses over 50kph if you’re wearing a helmet. Further,

As a Vim user (just admitting to my ignorance here), is it not feasible to make something like this yourself? Emacs is said to be flexible and extensible enough, or at least I’m under the impression that it has that reputation. I imagine it

Does what PewDiePie calls a council not resemble a Poldermodel? That’s all I associated with it. Please don’t lecture me about what to watch and drag up negative associations that have nothing to do with the subject (multiple LLMs voting fo

They’re referring to the Jetsons I mentioned, GPU boards. They do the operational part, not model training.

Funny, that's what I thought when PewDiePie set up his monster AI rig and what he called a 'council'. Quote: "PewDiePie has built a custom web UI for self-hosting AI models called "ChatOS" that runs on his cust

Don't those Shaheds run on nVidia Jetson? Jensen cashing in again. Funny that most of the hardware in those drones is designed in the US. Stop hitting yourself.

I'd say having to turn off System Integrity Protection as a prerequisite to uninstalling a music player is crazy. Spoken as someone who likes MacOS and Apple Music.

I see some tenuous connection between advertising and extinction of our species. It goes something like: One: Human psychology tends to ascribe more weight to negative things than positive things in the short term. In the long term this gen

That is not the only scale to create on. Also, Linux is free. There’s more than one way to make something available.

This is naive in the opposite. Creators gonna create.

If there is any model on the internet that has proven you don't need to monetize through ads for a working business model, it's Wikipedia.

Did you expect them to cheer on a billionaire that had a direct hand in fucking up their future? In this case the hate is rational if you ask me, and I’m a late millennial.

http://archive.today/WCDgq It’s so insidious to sell yearly subscriptions that you pay for monthly. I want to pay by the month precisely because I decide on a monthly basis whether I need a service. If you want out early wi
