Are there examples of how this would work when you need the pseudocode to reference abstract application concepts? I'm not totally convinced this is a useful way to express something like "Change the data flow so that we bulk quer

Headline is dumb, the point is that not mentioning security in the prompt is effectively a jailbreak. The shutdown may be dumb/politically motivated, but this definitely is a jailbreak even if it's a very simple one

ok and it's worth discussing on its merits. but "wikipedia is private equity" is a dumb thing to say and it matters to actually make concrete criticisms instead of throwing around buzzwords. the agenda of private equity is dr

It's not at all like the structure OpenAI was. OpenAI had a bizarre structure where the non-profit held shares in a for-profit sub-corporation. That's not how WMF is set up. Did this person even have stints in PE at those firms? Y

I think "worthy cause" is a poor choice of words from the OP, but the idea is: WMF has goals that it wants to accomplish in the world, and they should staff on that basis, not on the basis of honoring historical contributions, whi

I don't read the article as implying wikipedia is "big tech" in any meaningful way If the New England Patriots copied the San Francisco 49er's playbook, and the headline read "Patriots are starting to use 49er'

they aren't "throwing down the gauntlet", they're trying to find ways to eke margin out of their product by owning a commodity-level coding model. it's an impressive engineering task but it's not particularly a

cloudflare stock went down, genius investors are not some nefarious monolith cheering for companies to make decisions based on how it benefits The Vibes. they're analysts assessing business decisions.

> unless they need to cut spending or increase profits yes, so basically always? the situations where companies don't want to do this are very rare. I understand your broader point that doubling down on productive things is useful.

being an ethical vegan does not mean you like the taste of plants (or, at least, that you don't miss the taste of meat). I'm veg and very much miss having access to meat. I'm an occasional buyer of their product, but the issu

Seems unlikely that there would be 'enterprise features'... the value of Docker is that you can send a Dockerfile somewhere and it will work identically on each system. If they changed the feature-set of Docker EE it'd underm
