No, I won't give them anything. They don't need to take this information. They shouldn't have it. I think they and everyone else collecting data should be held far more accountable than they are for the damage they do when th

How do you train new models if your GPUs are being used for inference? I guess the training happens significantly less frequently? Forgive my ignorance.

Yeah, wow. That guy is the definition of that Uptain Sinclaire quote, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

How about publicly shaming the developers who wrote the code to make this possible? Seems only fair, since they voluntarily shared ours private details.

Thanks, yeah, we also have a girl on the way and an older boy. Looks like I'm in for a similar adventure. I also left at 18 and you're right that seems young now. But at the time, I remember feeling quite old. :)

This is probably rude, but maybe people who are happy to sit through commercials are more capable of enjoying the extremely middling (I'm being generous here) quality of most TV? So people who dislike commercials also dislike the kind

Yes, that's funny. How's the early teenage years going? I kind of worry about that time..

My team lead, my manager and their manager are all childless. It's actually been kind of an issue. Maybe I should ask them to take care of my kid for a day or two. As a team building exercise.

You'd think nap times would help, but due to a combination of being zonked from the morning shift, and the mild anxiety that you need to take advantage of this nap time to relax, you end up just staring at a figurative wall for 2 hours

Agreed. I also (personally) find the positivity draining. I used to be kind of a sarcastic asshole. It was a low energy state. Now I'm an always smiling toddler comedy bot, who at any point in time will sing, or juggle for tiny laughte

Made me laugh, thanks! The bonus panel is accurate, too.

It really is the vigilance. It's hard to explain to people who haven't experienced it. I certainly tried to understand my colleagues who had kids, but it turns out it's quite a bit harder than the hardest I imagined. Nowadays

Thanks. Is MARPAT what the Canadian soldiers showed up to Afghanistan in? Edit: looks like the wore the forest green stuff to Afghanistan. The only articles I can find suggests they did it on purpose, to stand out for peace keeping reasons,

What was worse, CADPAT or UCP? I couldn't find it in the article. Instinct is that CADPAT was worse, but UCP was just that style without the contrast thus negating one of it's features (disrupting the human shape with high contras

Don't forget: LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. Just like Github.

Or a post that's about the cloud, and the follow up "You Don't Need The Cloud" post?

Interesting.. I'm not sure I could accept an offer to work there, ethically. It would be like working at a tobacco company. Certainly wouldn't sleep well if I did. Granted, they're not exactly throwing offers at me so maybe i

This is about money. This is about having to upgrade your CPU to get updates to your OS. The Android/iPhone business model.

I wonder if all those years getting a paycheck from Facebook is helping him develop this framework.

Opt out is ridiculous for a programming language. Do you really want to play security whack-a-mole with your development environment? There are countless, better privacy respecting tools.

Oh definitely USB ports is more important than fan noise. About on part with battery life. For me though, the primary thing I look for is whether or not I can do with it what I want. More specifically, whether the company that made it is ac

Comments pointing it out are good. I'm replying to you though because this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say that not wanting to look at marketing/PR/astroturfing is censorship. Lots of people disagree about w

Yeah, that battery life and fan noise. The PR around apple products is hilarious.

Flag it. Flag every submarine ad on Hacker News. It'd be a boon for the site if it treated every positive article from companies with marketing budgets as astroturfing until proven otherwise. Same goes for political articles. And anyon

It's a competitor in the same sense my smart fridge is a competitor. It's a locked down appliance that I'd have to hack to do what I want with.
