or you know, just ask people to pay $2.50/month to cover their share? I have a weird feeling this is exactly what the Apollo dev will be doing. In order to charge everyone a monthly fee, they need to shut down Apollo and create a new a

That small time developer who discussed paying millions also said it came out to $2.5/month on average[1]. Which actually isn't that bad for the service Reddit is providing One of the problems mentioned in the many Reddit thread

well there is still a difference. Under the 100 page plan, you can print 100 completely black pages using the max amount of ink for the plan or you could print 10 pages with a single sentence in them HP sends you new cartridges depending on

Imagine if your kid really liked drinking a lot of milk, so the milk man gave you double the amount of bottles one morning for no extra charge. Because its an "all you can drink" membership. This is sort of what the HP service is

Its not like im a fan of the plan (i opted out and buy my own ink) but HP is right Its super easy to be on a "heavy" plan, get 10 ink cartridges, then cancel the first month and use that ink for a year. This causes HP to lose prof

Exactly. All it takes is one clueless employee to use that data lake by mistake while training. The thing with these models is you can't untrain just 3% of the input, you have to start from the beginning Unless they can promise its nev

Yeah that makes sense, I meant 3rd-4th level manager. I work at a US BigCorp and am sure they check office swipes, even laptop usage, but as a line manager get absolutely no insight into any of those when it comes to performance/rating

I feel like people don't understand how similar these huge corporations are to seed stage startups, and I'm sure people would be fine with a seed stage startup doing layoffs at this point of time Most of these companies have 1-2 a

The unspoken part in many of these layoffs, is that hiring people based on 5 back to back zooms, 50% leetcode, 50% STAR-method situational questions, means you have absolutely no idea how these people will actually work in the real world
