Are trying to say it’s not possible to write terms that give them the ability to sync your history without also letting them mine and sell all the insights from it?

There’s probably some compliance requirement that it’s technically possible to set it up without an internet connection, so they leave it there, but make it unreasonably difficult for a majority to do it.

Every salesperson will tell you that good products sell themselves and therein lies the real story.

If you don’t write solid code, it’s so much more important to be better at selling yourself than those who do.

I think it has more to do with bundling reducing the need to compete to zero. Change that and the economics of competition would take over and the changes would get prioritized but nobody at Teams needs to sell a single license, so the prio

Who says anyone’s reviewing anything? I’m seeing more and more influencers and YouTubers playing engineer or just buying an app from an overseas app farm. Do you think anyone in that chain gives the first shit what the code is like? It’s th

If it is, it’s entirely self inflicted today. There’s some tentpole tech that is reliable enough to stick with and get things done. Has been for a while.

Same. I will say that dotnet for mobile development hasn’t kept up so I’ve gone react-native on that front for my startup. All dotnet on the backend though, and it’s great.

The second someone doesn’t pay attention to that warning and suffers an exfiltration, like the cap1 s3 incident, it’s aws’ fault as far as the media is concerned.

Quite the over-simplified straw man you have there.

LLMs generate tokens. They don’t have judgement. They would need judgement in order to have a basis for pushing back.

Meanwhile nothing epic will work on mint (at least I can’t get them working), there are frequently broken components of games (eg. phasmophobia mic won’t work), most multiplayer stuff with anti-cheat won’t work. Whenever I see someone say “

You could say the same about computing as a hobby. Maybe that’s your point, hard for me to tell. I always compare it as a hobby to golf or hockey- both of which are common where I come from and pretty pricey hobbies.

As a business owner that pays the hardware bill, what you see as the benefit of your current environment - or a downside of moving to the cloud - I see in a completely different light. To some extent I’d be upset with arbitrary amounts of p

That could have more to do with containerization than the cloud - and that was a goal if I recall.

This fired of some warning bells in my head. Is the data available to actually make a verifiable claim regarding those reliability metrics like you are.

There’s more than 3 options. That’s what the nuance is about. Sometimes individual productivity isn’t even the measure of success and sometimes it needs to be sacrificed for group productivity.

I have been leaning the other way. There’s room for nuance in the discussion but a stance of certainty that full remote is just more effective screams “expert beginner.”

This idea that if you change your app in a way that some people don’t like, then the government legislate your features for you, is just mind boggling to me.

Unless you depend on Facebook for your livelihood, then this is a false equivalence.

RSU grants assume a growth rate (15%? I forget) so if they stay flat, go down, or grow slower than the baked-in growth rate, then you make less each year. If you do well enough, they’ll give you some RSUs to “make you whole” (as they used t

The former. Basically: build, train, test, deploy, monitor, repeat for ML algos.

I’ve heard multiple recruiters (from different agencies in different geos) refer to them as “amholes” and said they’re hard to place and difficult to break their bad habits.

Yup! Both epson and canon have some great printers for high quality printing at home. First Man Photography on YouTube has videos on the topic that I enjoyed. The surprise for me was that paper quality makes much of the difference.

I’m sure you know this but it took me entirely too long to really understand and feel the satisfaction of taking and printing my own photos. It’s very accessible these days to have a finished piece of art that’s all yours - even with little

There is some information added, depending on the vector db and context (some systems will add permissions related metadata so that the LLM won’t pull chunks that the user didn’t have access to). The vector itself is pretty large (512 dimen

I’ve used Windows at work for years, my personal/gaming machine is Linux (mint), my personal/development machine is MacOS. They’re all perfectly viable options with strengths and weaknesses. None of them are especially great. I’m

Take whatever you're indexing and make it 16-20x and that’s a good approximation of what the vector db’s total size is going to be.
