jenkins is old and crusty, but it works and works well. if the UI for a build tool looks too fancy, my faith in it drops to 0 almost immediately.

I've been fortunate enough work with some people who REALLY wanted to automate and do things "right" but believed so whole heartedly in microsoft they anticipated every powershell release.... But I've seen more of the &q

No matter how good am AI system gets we can rely on hacker news commenters highlighting hallucinations and saying “it’s only doing a simple <whatever> task” while totally ignoring whatever the system is actually capable of. I agree th

Microsoft’s stock price over the last 10 years has soared consistently. They have a lot of admins at small/medium companies very very willfully and loyally locked in to their ecosystem. Microsoft does not care if they piss off most of

If a whistleblower for these companies came out and said "For the last decade advanced research has been conducted on extraordinarily big LLMs and they won't even give the public a clue of what it is and how it works" you wou

I thought I would hate it but I really don’t mind mine. I like a few important buttons on the steering wheel but I always to look to remember which is which anyways. Maybe I don’t drive far enough often enough. I honestly expected to hate i

if you’re earning sky high base comp + stock + benefits at these places you’re not working class. You are incredibly out of touch.

Designers who only design with no regard for what is possible, simple, etc have been the bane of my existence at previous employers. I feel there is a VERY small set of shops where someone who just dumps a figma in your lap is useful. The p

i'm not saying that the company has no responsibility... any company (even one as massive as google) can do better than an email and "so bad so sad". However, regardless of economic factors, the process of quitting your job,

My home was built in the 1920s and I didn’t have any issues at all. Most neighbors with EVs also have chargers of some sort (similar age homes)

They operated in the US illegally right? Seems like they're the ones who screwed up here...

hallucinations don't invalidate the product itself. I really hate to see this constant lazy refrain on here. Its just like anything else. Trust but verify. Some will just trust, others never will... People probably over-trust the tech

Given a large enough context window the need for fine tuning diminishes a little bit.... The cost of fine tuning these massive models is crazy right now. Fine tuning a smaller model can get you better performance for specific tasks in many

These models aren't capable of "doing" things. They can't necessarily calculate values etc. They can assemble text based (more or less) on statistical analysis of all their input data, and the are incredible at it... b

I really think people don’t even know why unionizing was a thing back in the day. Dangerous conditions, back breaking labor, endless hours, checks don’t clear, wage collusion…

by code_runner 4y ago
I’m not against unionizing necessarily, but these are layoffs. They happen, they suck. The benefits of working at these places are INSANE and unless you are working on content moderation the work isn’t physically taxing/destroying your

I’m not convinced Elon uses a lot of data in decisions like these. This might be just an arbitrary number to start negotiations from.

They’ll chase anything that makes money but if the ONLY source of money is our attention etc… that’s a worse spot right?

A lot of severance but I don’t know how/where that is accounted for in stuff like this. I assume you are correct thought and they are on that path.

Ad based businesses are getting hit hard, which explains the desire to switch to subscription based models. It doesn’t help when someone like Elon is chasing away advertisers with so much success. With the layoffs they’ve had I wonder how n

Used one of these in an airport and it was fine. Felt like a novelty in that instance. I didn’t need a particular app but they did employ a person to explain and help… but it was a small enough booth he could’ve just been the cashier. Proba

I love my AirPod pros and I just leave them in for hours with ANC on because they are comfy and it’s nice. Depends on the day if they get uncomfortable, but no issues here. I’ve rarely had the “pressure” people talk about with ANC so maybe

Perhaps they mean that they operate in the open? They publish research, do open unrestricted beta tests etc. I'm not sure they will necessarily live up to every definition of open you'll ever come up with, but its hardly the worst

It would be interesting if you did some open source project of sufficient size or something. (Unless it’s not a one-to-one or something)

Can you elaborate a bit on this claim?

They hire people who specialize in fundraising and people who specialize in reaching whatever community they support. It’s not the same people and the fundraising teams are fairly slim

I’ll do my best. Number of params is the number of weights. Basically the number of learnable variables. Number of tokens is how many tokens it saw during training. Vocab size is the number of distinct tokens. The relationship between param

I also want to say that an industry doing things on paper and in person isn’t always in need of a high tech overhaul. Why would a scuba shop want to take on the burdens and issues of your tech solution? They are running a shop already. I do
