"I was just following orders," is a bit of a meme, but it's also true, and even more so in the context of Prussian-style military discipline. Disobeying an order was not an option. You carry it out no matter what, but the res

So much in German work culture - and also culture in general - is about covering your own arse. If you follow the procedure, even if the outcome is disaster, you are not at fault; you were just implementing the rules, and you cannot be held

Because it is almost certainly not a mistake. They also removed support for SSO via GitLab in the Community Edition in v11, which was the only SSO option still supported by the OSS version. They are pretty obviously trying to push users tow

A lot of it just seems to be marketing. Present the shiny new toy, get the news headlines, people book their stays, and then it doesn't really matter if they ever actually make it into the parks.

The west is still underestimating China. There is a great anecdote, I think it's from the book 'Apple in China', about their engineers visiting a Chinese production plant. Some changes needed to be made to the place. The Appl

The way it sounds, Zuckerberg believes that they can, or at the very least has people around him telling him that they can. But Zuckerberg also though that the Metaverse would be thing. LeCun obviously thinks otherwise and believes that LLM

What even is an "AI browser"? It's a browser, it's mainly supposed to render web pages / web apps. There is no obvious reason why it would need any AI features.

Microsoft's entire business model for decades has been to shove shoddy products down people's throats. And somehow, they have figured out how to do it too, because otherwise Teams wouldn't be used by anyone.

The only reason implemented these measures in the first place was because of pressure from the other side of the political spectrum. It's hardly surprising that pressure from the opposite direction will make them walk it back.

The argument has been made that the real value of RH lies in the people working there. And if IBM were to interfere too heavy-handedly, those people would just leave, and RH would become basically worthless.

Cook is denying that he has any current plans to step down. There was also a Bloomberg article about this a couple of days ago. What they point out is that a lot of Apple's senior leadership are of a similar age and are simply approach

The question is perhaps what the shape and status of their tech stack is. Obviously, they are running at massive scale, and they have grown extremely aggressively over the years. What's more, especially over the last few years, they ha

The context from parent was obviously that. Instis don't trade on Alpaca. > Because “institutional” low-latency market makers trade 1 lot all the time. That sentence alone tells me that you're a LARPer.

I can almost guarantee you that these models will underperform the market in the long run, because they are simply not designed for this purpose. LLMs are designed to simulate a conversation, not predict forward returns of a time series. Wh

If you actually were in the industry, you would know that most retail traders don't fail, because they lose a tick here or there on execution, they fail, because their strategies have no edge in the first place.

With the current administration, anything can be legal. Besides, they still have plans to spin off the cable networks, so this would mostly concern the streaming assets, movie studio, and the IP.

Docker Compose is simple: You have a Compose file that just needs Docker (or Podman). With k8s you write a bunch of manifests that are 70% repetitive boilerplate. But actually, there is something you need that cannot be achieved with pure m

Their marketing had shifting to trying to push an AI angle for some time now. For an established project or company, that's usually a sign that things aren't going well.

Pandas is widely adopted and deeply integrated into the Python ecosystem. Meanwhile, Polars remains a small niche, and it's one of those hype technologies that will likely be dead in 3 years once most of its users realise that it offer

Which perfectly fits the Matrix ethos of everything constantly being rewritten or replaced with something new that only implements half the features before the original thing is ever finished.

The people most qualified to make an educated guess simultaneously have a direct financial incentive to claim that it is in reach within a few years. The only one who doesn't seem to care all that much is Le Cun.

Of course it shouldn't have happened. But if you run infrastructure as complex as this on the scale that they do, and with the agility that they need, then it was bound to happen eventually. No matter how good you are, there is always

IMO the key problem that OpenAI have is that they are all-in on AGI. Unlike a Google, they don't have anything else of any value. If AGI is not possible, or is at least not in reach within the next decade or so, OpenAI will have a prod

Not really. It's one thing trying to bully a relatively small FOSS project, it's quite something else to take on one of the world's biggest companies that can afford a literal army of lawyers and that also has the power to ha

I think part of the problem may be that Matrix is just pretty complex, because of its modular and decentralised design. Meanwhile, Signal is much more centralised and monolithic. And while they have added a few features over the years, its

That is such a fallacious argument that crypto bros love to trot out. If you look at the ratio of crime to total transaction, then crime makes up a tiny portion of what is happening in real money. Meanwhile, the situation in crypto is the o

I'm sorry, you are absolutely right. --- But seriously, I find it helps to set a custom system prompt that tells Gemini to be less sycophantic and to be more succinct and professional while also leaving out those extended lectures it l
