I was hit by layoffs but just got several offers. One thing I've noticed is that startups and smaller companies are moving more junior work offshore but are still keeping the higher roles in house (I'm a Principal). Most of the co

10-15 years ago people were posting their rigs, adding liquid cooling, ridiculous lighting, massive overclocking. It was definitely more than a forum signature.

Exactly- Facebook laid off 7% of their staff and then followed it up with a $40 billion stock buy back. That's over $3,600,000 per laid off employee. The economy isn't the issue here, the companies know that since layoffs in mass

There used to be a saying, "nobody ever got fired for buying ibm". A lot of people got fired for buying IBM Watson.

It really depends on what you're talking about. Individual components can often be automated fairly successfully, but the actual assembly of the components is much harder. Even in areas of manufacturing where it's automated you ha

I've worked in ML for awhile (on the MLOps side of things) and have been in the industry for a bit, and one thing that I think is extremely common is for ML researchers to grossly underestimate the amount of work needed to make improve

My bank's website (their real one) was having an issue with Firefox so I installed Chrome just to log into the bank. Since I normally don't use chrome I hadn't installed a password manager yet. I copy/pasted my password

The malvertisement thing has become real bad. The other day I had a problem so I used chrome, where I unfortunately hadn't installed an add blocker yet. I searched for my bank (I know, I should have put the URL in directly, but I was b

This is such a weird comment.

Yeah, same. Their plans included a number of active screens/supported devices a at a time. It seems pretty ridiculous to charge for the number of screens but then put restrictions on where those screens are.

Since you use python you might be interested in knowing that Pydantic outputs JSON Schema as an option. This is part of how FastAPI is able to generate OpenAPI specs (OpenAPI uses JSON Schema for a lot of validation). The only time I'v

The only reason it "isn't good faith" is because the seller wasn't acting in good faith. Had the purchaser gotten what was advertised there would be nothing to return. The fact that we now assume so little of Amazon prod

Legality and morality are different things- as is marketing and recruiting. This is why a lot of companies wave vesting periods during layoffs. Eventually the market will move in the other direction and the companies that treat their staff

Your comment makes it seem like the article is pretty accurate then? Like they are clawing back the contributions, but you're saying it's okay because their contract allows them to do it. I'm not sure how this makes the artic

My wife and I have cameras in our home for this purpose. They're unplugged until we leave for vacation, and once we get back they're unplugged again.

ActivityPub is the protocol, Mastodon is an implementation of that protocol. There are other services built on ActivityPub that can interop with Mastodon, which is part of what makes the whole system awesome.

The success of SpaceX belongs to Gwynne Shotwell far more than it does Elon. It also doesn't hurt that his CIA buddy joined NASA in time to give SpaceX a $400m investment.

There are two problems that come up with scaling- 1. Those 30k users who are following users on other servers, which pulls in the content of those users. I'm on hachyderm but I would guess only about 20% of the people I follow are. Tha

You'd probably violate the agreement so you and everyone else technically wouldn't qualify and would be committing fraud. That said there are other options, such as splitting the reward for a vulnerability amongst those who report

The timing on this for me is really interesting, as last week I got an ISBN issues for a book I'm working on (9781633438002 if anyone is curious!). This will be the first book I'm the author of, but the second book I've worke

The problem there is that the law didn't define "reusable" bags well enough, so stores just made slightly thicker plastic bags and called them reusable even though they really aren't. As a result people ended up using th

Eve Online isn't zero-sum, it's a semi-managed economy where resources are balanced by a team of actual economists. The goal of the company isn't perfect economics either- it's about getting as many players as possible.
