be conscious of it, when the shiny thing appears, write it down on a piece of paper and tell yourself you'll come back to it if it's interesting enough. At the end of the day, throw away the paper :)

yes, this does happen, but when someone says "classic" it kind of implies "common" - this isn't a common outcome. I am directly affected by this one, so, trust me, I know, it sucks.

That’s only for a 70B param LLM. The one he includes is 15M params and weighs about 60MB. Not tiny, but doable.

It's not really classic. There are many different kinds of exits, this one is pretty uncommon in my experience, especially for a company that's been around as long as it has and with the customers they have.

Really surprised to hear that they will be shutting down the SaaS business and all existing customers will need to offboard by the end of September. Quite a few of my customers build on top of Rockset and it won’t be a smooth transition.

Not true, there are/were North Korean hackers actively using platforms like Hackerone and other lesser known SaaS that haven't implemented KYC for training.

The only person responsible for the starving people in NK is their dictator that keeps them in those conditions.

The only person to blame for that behavior is the chaotic and capricious dictator taking these actions against the population he is oppressing.

Posted this mostly because I just watched Dave Not Coming Back - a great documentary about Dave's last dive. It's tragic but I hadn't heard of the incident before and thought it was worth sharing.

The Atherton police reports are hilarious. I can't find the site readily, but I remember reading some of them when I worked in Mountain View. Things like calling the police because landscapers are mowing the lawn loudly, or because the

this is a slice of a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of space in a particular spectrum. Also, relative motion is a thing. It's easier to bin a lot of images from distant, stationary objects than to do so for "nearby" moving objects. I

I could be armchair astronomying wrong here - but something that blows my mind: this image represents 6.2 arcminutes across in the field of view, that's 10x smaller than the size of Andromeda in the night sky. Imagine what's behin

arguably we wouldn't have JWST without Hubble, so cost adjusted they're about the same, then again, there is probably some "prior art expensive project" associated with Manhattan, but I didn't check :)

For me being a bbs sysop is how I connected with the local tech community. Some of them were criminals, others were just other kids and teens. Back then there weren't many ways to find like-minded nerds if you were not in college, so I

I’ve learned something new almost every time I’ve sat through any kind of management or leadership training. Including DEI. Like any kind of training, you only become better with more reps.

Have you ever sat through any diversity training in your career? I have quite a few times and it's... it's really not that controversial or disruptive. If you have, I'm curious what subjects where raised that you found unhelp

or we could demand that users of free software shouldn't dictate the culture of the community and that maintainers don't need thick skin. Instead maybe we should ask that users should be respectful and courteous.

Every time I see someone being harassed for writing software in the open I'm going to think of the social campaign against the xz maintainer.
