The practical issue the George isn't addressing is that we are (currently) reliant in data centers hosting, and local frontier-esque models are currently price prohibitive in terms of RAM. These companies absolutely can not and will no

Worth noting that Wikipedia at the time of this post is refusing to acknowledge his death, citing poor sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_Mitnick&act... Hope he is alive and well. May he rest

I'm actually a W2 through an agency, so the other half of my FICA is covered by the agency. The agency also provides some health insurance. > likes switching companies once every 12 to 18 months This does kind of resonate with me. I

They recently implemented PayByPhone at my apartment complex to the extreme chagrin of many residents including myself. We had a guest parking lot where your guests would simply park. No sort of registration, but if the car stayed for 3+ da

To play devil's advocate for both sides. I think there is a freedom of speech problem online. I think the idea of an the internet being an open forum for discussion of ideas (even controversial) is a major benefit. But there is a probl

Sort of on the same path right now. Biggest obstacle I'm running into is that most of the work I'm finding is through recruiters, which of course means that a chunk of the money goes to the recruiter before I receive it. The rates

Thanks so much for the reply! My medium-long term goal is to turn what I'm doing as a freelancer into my own consultancy/development firm. Really appreciate the feedback. I'll look into integrating this sort of thing into my

Thanks for the reply! Did you submit this clause to them yourselves when you agreed to the work? I'm not working with an agency, I'm just scouting work myself. It seems like I could generate a lot of friction from potential employ

Strange because throughout this thread a lot of users seem to consider HN/Reddit social media. I don't personally think of these as social media whatsoever. They are content/news aggregators imo. Social media to me is a site

Your post reminds me of this excellent post on metagames. https://www.epsilontheory.com/too-clever-by-half/ The naive employee you mention who strives towards OKR completion wins the game, but loses the metagame of cor

It's kind of a question of integrity. Do we have a moral obligation to disagree with something someone says that we feel is wrong? Even if it's not in our interest to do so? Maybe we do, maybe we don't. Personally, if someone

The problem with this line of thought is that it is used to strongarm people with conventional right wing political views into silence by accusing them of harboring the taboo opinions you listed. You cannot utter even the most platonic of r

I've been following the recent death/hoax of Terry Davis very closely. As far as I can tell it is so far unconfirmed by any reliable sources. But from what I've gathered it unfortunately seems likely that Terry has passed awa

It seems pretty likely to me that Steve Jobs was a high functioning sociopath. The line about how his demeanor changed dramatically when Carmack's wife asked for a favor was indicative to me. "One time, my wife, then fiancée, and

I would agree with you on a lot of drugs. Definitely Marijuana for one thing. However the thing that is less obvious about drug use is how it effects everyone around the user. I'm from a low income rural area in the south and had a clo

I wasn't trying start a political flamewar. I noted in parenthesis that Obama's use of this sort of analytics was less deceptive. I think that the link that CptJamesCook posted validates my original comment on this.
