Not "helped out", it says "help oust".

I've left two companies over ethical concerns, but it's not as easy for most people implied here. Losing income can be challenging, especially if the industry is in a downturn.

I haven't actually dug into it myself, so it could just be that marketers or journalists got mixed up somewhere.

It's worth noting that some of the victims of this died before it came out. To say this ruined lives is an understatement. It's also important to know that the UK government knew about the flaws with the program but covered them u

It's a system microsoft designed that took regular screenshots of what was happening on the desktop, stored them in a sqlite database, and then allowed people to ask their "AI" questions that would take into account literally

New Hampshire is on the national grid. If they have more power than they can use they simply sell it to Massachusetts so they can turn down some of their natural gas generation.

To be clear when I said 0.11/kWh in Chicago I was giving the total price, including both the supply and delivery. California has some ridiculously expensive power costs. I moved to Chicago in 2021 after living in the bay area for 11 ye

Where do you live with power costs that high? My power is about 11c/kWh (Chicago).

This just isn't true. The burden on nuclear is the extremely long construction time and massive cost overruns.

In my experience your company is doing it right, and doing it the way that other successful companies do. I gave a talk at the Open Source Summit on MLOps in April, and one of the big points I try to drive home is that it's 80% softwar

I absolutely hate conda. I had to support a bunch of researchers who all used it and it was a nightmare.

It's not about "yucky" so much as specialization and only having a limited time in life to learn everything. Should your reseacher have to manage nvidia drivers and infiniband networking? Should your operations engineer need

by tedivm 2y ago
Yup! I used to use it, but was very disappointed in how little support it got and ended up dropping it. It's a great idea but never got enough resources to take off.

Do you understand what the problem trying to be solved is? There are satellites in orbit today that have nothing to do with Starlink. Some of these have been up for a long time. We're talking weather satellites and research satellites.
256.
by tedivm 2y ago
Again though, you can't do "Starlink from the satellites, so we don't rely on a specific ground station" unless all of the satellites support talking to Starlink, which they don't. That means they'd have to be
257.
by tedivm 2y ago
That would require replacing all the satellites with new ones capable of doing that, which doesn't seem feasible. Starlink also doesn't have great coverage of the polar regions.

by tedivm 2y ago
Starlink has an upload speed between 5 and 20 Mbps. The Svalbard cable is a 10Gbps link. It's still a major difference. That said apparently they do have a satellite backup, just not through Starlink.
259.
by tedivm 2y ago
You're grossly underestimating the bandwidth needs of the site. You're not going to replace a cluster of fiber optic cables with Starlink.

Agreed. We really need some sort of regulation that prevents companies from bricking devices they sold. It's just so unethical, and wasteful, to put these devices out there and then just turn them into trash.

I wait until the new release, and then look at the refurbished store to get a discount on the last generation model. I do this every four years or so.

Current employees rarely sign exit agreements, since by exiting they stop being employees.

Comp clawbacks in exit agreements, that weren't part of the employment agreement? I've seen equity clawbacks in employment agreements. Specifically, some of the contracts I've signed have said that if I'm fired for cause

by tedivm 2y ago
Honestly I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt on that, depending on their actions, because I'm sure they sign so many documents they just rely on their legal teams to ensure they're good.

I have worked for multiple startups (Malwarebytes, Vicarious, Rad AI, Explosion AI, Aptible, Kenna Security). Not once have I seen an exit agreement that stated they would steal back my vested equity if I didn't sign. This is definitel

What Sam is saying is very different than what I'm saying. I'm saying he should be proactive and just do it, he's saying that if people explicitly reach out to him then he'll do it specifically for them.

by tedivm 2y ago
If this really was a mistake the easiest way to deal with it would be to release people from their non disparagement agreements that were only signed by leaving employees under the duress of losing their vested equity. It's really easy

The market value (stock price) assumes a lot more growth, so the idea that volumes are dropping is pretty bad if your wealth is based on that stock price. Markets also aren't zero sum- if the overall volume of EVs keeps rising then com
