I set my kids up with Faraday.dev on their M2 Airs and it does just fine. They will have chatbots up for hours to help them with schoolwork or when playing Minecraft to give them ideas. The big thing is just don’t lock the models into memor

Couple questions on the data here. The graphs are showing people who are distinctly a political position. But first how distinct is distinct? Are we taking extreme activist or just pretty committed? Second how much of the potential mate

Yeah the Pro feels like a miss. I figured it would have same specs as the Studio for its SoC but would come with a bunch of options for co processor cards akin to the Afterburner card. So a studio you can kit out for additional specialize

I hate the meetings where marketing and product spend 30 minutes talking themselves into that kind of pushy behavior on the grounds “our customers will want to be informed.” Or our CMO who likes to say “our paying customers like being mark

On one hand people definitely will shoot themselves in the foot by oversharing on social media. Another trend I've been seeing (speaking a general sense, I know no knowledge of this particular case) is that people who have been laid of

Sadly at about about half the Geekbench 5 score. M2 is single core 2061, multicore 15281. 6850U has single 1469 and multi 7365 scores. M2 is also ahead in Cinebench R23 and splits the single and multi in R20 with the 6850U. To go from t

I notice the article only has base power draw in it. I’d want to know max TDP before anything gets crowned. This AMD is 15 watt base, the M2 is about 20 watts. When the M1 came out, Intel announced chips that would crush and crush it they

For us we did the main only pre commit thing and also a CI check that any MR marked as ready for review has to pass linting. So you can go wild in your own branches and draft MRs but anything you want someone else to review has to pass.

You don’t have to use a singular bank to this. You have can have numerous banks in and sweep the money around to control exposure to any one bank. A single bank is not the norm for this kind of setup. Sweep accounts are a thing for this

Most payroll process have relations with multiple banks. They have emergency credit revolvers in place. They are resilient to single point of failure. Rippling has shown it not.

I am advocating for the fact that Rippling was not transparent in their communication and was too complacent to have a Plan B in place despite having 300 million in play. It is not the single incident is the exposure of poor practices and

At my company they still initially failed to make payroll. Eventually around 6 pm Pacific on the 15th the direct deposits started landing for most people. Although not everyone. I think they did it via some kind of one off point process s

Also the Scorpion wreck has been surveyed twice and imaging shows the nuclear weapons are still there in the wreck. Wreck is ~3k meters deep, so no one is going down there to get themselves a 1960s vintage nuke whose only value is the fis

For me the worst is you talk to someone at a company, be it phone or support chat, and it becomes clear the person wants to help but the policies of the company prevent their customer support people from doing anything meaningful. The supp

In tech I think there has been a social expectation to appear like you are growing over all else. Low performers weren’t fired, product lines that weren’t successful weren’t shuttered, etc all because one of the goals was to have a line go

A year ago, myself and other Director / Senior EM folks were sitting around in our Zoom, looking at our headcount allocations from C-Suite and talking about how while the company wanted hyper growth, we all needed to find ways to contr

Junk science is a huge problem in law enforcement. Treating lie detectors as canonical, the blood splatter analysis to recreate crime scenes, this kind of stuff. It is especially problematic because police orgs are generally pretty good at

Activity is the signal. Self taught but goes to a ton of meetups. Enrolled in one of the legit online master's programs, etc. Ofttimes bootcamps can appear on these resumes. Someone did a bootcamp, realized it wasn't enoug

That is why we see layoffs like these. You just layoff the people that didn’t successfully self onboard and/or are unqualified but slipped through your screening.

Definitely. Brave New World immediately sent my mind to think "Digital Rights Management" and "Key Management Server" had come to Fedora in a new dystopian way.

Leatherman's ultimate recourse would be take me to small claims court, argue I lied to the credit card processor to win the chargeback case, get a judgement, and if I don't pay go after me for collections. I doubt they'd hav

Same experience over the past couple years. It's also weird to me, for example I bought six items from Leatherman (some multitools plus accessories) and one of them showed up with some damage. No worries, Leatherman supports their pro

I'm stuck on Notion since my much older CTO thinks Notion is 'hip'. I think it's more fair to say Notion is just the counter culture solution to the same problem O365 and G-Suite try to solve. I suppose Notion kind of

Both my YC backed previous employers have reported me and checked up on me in there before hiring me. My current employer has not. I was able to increase TC just shy of 150k when I jumped my current employer.

That's why I said you define the niche and overstate its work. You work hard and build trust and then yes if you ask for more work, you get more work. However there is a window in which to define what you do next and make it seem lik

by ucm_edge 5y ago
Not that I endorse this, but this seems the wrong way to do this. Take one job and do well at it. Get a reputation that you don't need to be managed. Work hard. Identify a niche for work that needs to be done but is currently under
