My claim has always been that

1) the creating of the model is does not violate copyright. Claiming otherwise means running same algorithm in meatspace would violate copyright laws, which implies thoughts violates laws which is absurd.

2) distribution of the model does not violate copyright laws because the models themselves do not contain latent copies of the work. The model itself is not the work nor a recognizable copy of it nor can it be reconstituted back to the work. It is a tool more analogous to photoshop where the tool can be used to reproduce copyrighted work, yes, by the end user (where I believe the responsibility lies). But the tool itself is not copyrighted work. Microsoft word can be used to generate copyrighted books if I’m correct. Or I can hire smarter tool: a human writer to produce copyrighted works. Is the writer-for-hire illegal? Or his employability is illegal? Of course not. I believe the law will eventually take the position that AI model is a tool.

CEO tenure has been dropping for years. So what they know is that if they want to get paid in a big way, they need to quickly do things that look tough and improve short-term cash flow, which in turn bump the stock price.

If they wanted to actually be tough, they could ride it out and take slowdowns as a time to really improve internally. As an example, take Toyota, which rose from the decimation of post-war Japan to the world's largest car company by sticking to a no-layoffs policy and using slack times to invest in people, process, and plant.

No, LLMs do not learn a sufficient world model for answering basic physics questions that aren't answered in the training corpus; and, AGI-strength AI is necessary for ethical reasoning given the liability in that application domain.

Hopefully, LLMs can at least fill in with possible terms like '4π' given other uncited training corpus data. LLMs are helpful for Evolutionary Algorithmic methods like mutation and crossover, but then straight-up ethical selection.

Ask [the LLM] to return a confidence estimate when it can't know the correct answer, as with hard and thus valuable e.g. physics problems. What tone of voice did Peabody take in explaining to Sherman, and what does an LLM emulate?
"walk through a zero downtime migration plan from before and after we add a feature."

I'll take this thread to plug my totally subjective hare brain theory/bias.

I've noticed that I like movies that are shot with the blue filter (or atleast thats what I call it) - everything has a tinge of blue (the filters are almost closer to blue-grey; something like #374358). For some reason, I have noticed that, to me, they also turn out to good movies. Example would be Margin Call[0] (though in some scenes the blue is mixed with a golden hue which actually makes it look nicer); another one is The Grey[1].

This really depends on the percentage of the workforce your laying off. A small %2-%6 one is really getting rid of people you don't want, but it's too much of a pain in the ass to do the entire PIP & political process to do so, or they're toxic / unproductive but well positioned that firing them is hard. A streamlined 'just pick people' layoff process helps with all of those issues. The bottom %5 percentile people that get dropped in a %5 lay off were already near the chopping block. While larger %10-%50 layoffs are really economically motivated.

The thing is although, you can't do %5 layoffs when your doing well, or the economy is doing well, so you use such times as now as an opportunity to do so. You'll know the layoffs are more economically motivated when there are multiple waves or they become larger in percentage of employees.

Like why did the google layoff %6? I definitely think it was a trim the fat operation, and the opportunity to get rid of some well positioned, unproductive long term rest-and-vesters, which is why a bunch of very long tenure people got laid off at google now.
It might be self-balancing?
I'd wager as much.

Consoles and gaming PCs tend to be expensive (in terms of upfront costs), require more physical space to use, and are hard to move.

Mobile phones have multiple purposes and, crucially, are mobile (shocker, right?)

This means that if you could only have 1 electronic device, you'd 100% choose a mobile phone.

And what better way to find a lot of customers than a F2P mobile game? It has 0 barrier to entry, a large audience, relatively low development costs, and little actual "game design" expectations.
> You just have your bash prompt output the current snapshot number, and then can use that as the revert target if there's a botched rebase or so.

That is what the ref-log is designed to do, but in my experience with git the risk is not about getting historical content, because git is very good about that: it's the current operation that's the risk

If I had any advice for beginners, it'd be to commit early and often, because git is disciplined about managing commits, but is a razor blade about anything in the working copy. There is no ref-log for "but I just typed that..." unless you told git to save it in something with a sha
> Cutting everyone's salary will dislodge your top performers who can get a better position even in poor market conditions.

Will it? Are your top performers only there because of the pay? And how do you even determine who your top performers are? I see this sort of logic frequently and I don't even know how to measure it, much less believe it.
Fascinating. I get that google doesn't want to feed the patent troll, but the article really makes it look they're cutting off their nose to spite their face here. Glad I don't own any of this hardware. Seems like typical google behavior--making popular stuff and abandoning it; failing to do the most basic customer communications. Just another reminder that we must extricate google from our lives...

First and foremost, stop using gmail. I've been happy with FastMail. It includes calendar, notes, and file storage too. I like the android app, can configure mail filters in app (can't do that with gmail).

NextCloud is great for replacing google photos, drive, and docs.

DuckDuckGo has really grown up, it's my primary search now and I like it better. I love the bangs feature:

I even set up my own Asterisk server and SMS-XMPP bridge to replace Google Voice, I can't recommend that for most people, but I'm sure there are other commercial alternatives.

An easy one is to not use Chrome. I prefer Fennec on mobile and LibreWolf on desktop (they're Firefox without Mozilla telemetry). I use Ungoogled Chromium when I need to test against Chrome.

Sadly there is really no alternative to Android besides iPhone which isn't my thing. I don't log into google on my devices, I use F-Droid for most things and Aurora Store when I need to download apps from the play store.
This example illustrates the first comment's point: it is fundamentally a transactional relationship. "Caring contributes greatly to the bottom line" means the goal of "caring" is increased productivity.
Oh c'mon, is this what really impresses you?

> It's not just spitting out generic things, there is genuine understanding here and genuine creativity.

Srsly? I really can't wrap my head around where specifically did you find "understanding" or "creativity".

The "squishy stuff" is super boring SEO-like text you'd find in some sales-person blog, who needs to run their mouth, but have zero in-depth understanding or appreciation of the hard domain problems. How is any of this non-generic? There is absolutely no substance here!

Real "squishy stuff" would be something around "handling personal data", "ensuring verifiability and correctness", "productive quality assurance", "robust and scalable systems architecture", "managing complexity in a way that doesn't require rebuilding the whole thing as soon as something inevitably changes", "observability", "productive documentation and self-documenting approaches to work" - you know, the REAL squishy stuff that REAL professionals have to deal with, not some totally vague abstract BS.

The code examples are also super-bad, incorrect and don't even actually fulfil your initial requirements: magic constants, use of undefined variables, "customer_address in country_1", "print", supporting merely 2 hardcoded currencies and languages, and routing them with "if", while also providing "else" fallback that you never implied in your requirements.

This is basically a throwaway random code, only thematically connected to your requirement and that could never under any circumstances be running in any productive scenario.

> Honestly there's a good number of people who aren't getting how revolutionary chatGPT

Honestly there's a good number of people who don't understand objective limits and properties of chatGTP, despite it actually totally being revolutionary.

All in all, chatGPT output seems more like a product of work of some total but productive idiot, left with a task and google: simplistic, totally naive, zero understanding or creativity.

It's good for fun rhetorical exercises, very useful for things that you don't know anything about, but in any professional environment it can only be used in a super-limited scope, supervised by an actual professional. Basically just an enhanced "monkey with a typewriter".

It’s really not that complex to move off of Lambda. The only lambda specific part your application needs to know about is how lambda arguments are passed. There are plenty of middleware providers out there to convert lambda function invocations to HTTP method calls in your application (mangum and others).

Lambda has supported docker images (OCI) for a while now, so you can build your application into an OCI, set the entry point to a lambda middleware and call it a day.

If you want to move off lambda you only need to change the entry-point to an ASGI server instead of the middleware and change the base image layer to be a standard one instead of the lambda specific one which has the lambda runtime installed. You can even build both images and deploy to both lambda as well as a non-serverless system such as k8s, ECS, swarm, systemd, …
Well you'd have to imagine a lot more collaboration between companies, so say company A just markets CPUs in the US nothing else, while company B works on just shipping logistics (to stores which handle the actual delivery to end customers).

It's difficult for say a marketing person to suggest a change to the box design

Yes simpler than MIT.

The Fortune 50's compliance team carefully evaluated many open source licenses, including MIT, BSD, GPL, Apache, etc. and determined that GPL is the best for their company for internal tools such as these, that must be wholly separate from any product offerings.

And when I say carefully, I mean multiple lawyers, for multiple years, considering many worldwide regulatory compliance laws. GPL won over all the other options.
Will it? Most of the top performers I know are not very motivated by money, and instead value doing interesting work with people they like.

Granted, there are a set of people who are very good at job-hopping while executing a performance of being a top performer. But maybe a company will do just fine those people hop away. Maybe it would do better.

Looking through the list of 3rd party implementations, I came across the Digital Ocean devices (not the cloud provider; the original company was defunct by the late 1990s) - the Newton came out just a few years before I really started getting into tech (I was a poor high school kid at the time), so not terribly familiar with a lot of companies in that space. I do remember seeing the Newton being used in the Steven Seagal movie, Under Siege 2, which came out in 1995.

But this is only because businesses have yet to be built around this technology. These things will change. We are super early. We should not build these use cases everyone is asking for right now. The tech is still early and has to figure out many things. There is a lot of innovation happening on the base- and interoperability level, and it needs a lot more abstraction (e.g., network and account abstraction) to make things more usable.

Standardization also plays a huge role, and yes, in many ways, it's a technological chicken-and-egg problem whereby systems have to work with each other and the chain in a way that makes intermediaries as obsolete as possible.

The transfer speed of money or the general transaction speed - well, that's something that is being solved as we speak. These systems (e.g. Ethereum) have to mature, and many ways are being explored, using known principles like separation of concerns, e.g., separating settlement, execution, and data layers - but in a decentralized manner.

The public and many entrepreneurs need to understand how early this tech is and rush use cases that don't add value as of now. You must go deep and understand that this has to grow from the bottom up.

Were they abnormally liquidating those things at the end of 2021 compared to other years?

Asking because I would expect executives to sell "by the 10s of millions" pretty much every year. Especially since they cannot really sell on a whim (in the US), as executives are legally required to file their stock purchase/sell plans with SEC far ahead of time.

That can't be the result of using LED ligthing, because modern LEDs are really good and don't require much correction in post, yet movies still look like that. In fact, I don't think you can pinpoint this to a single technical reason.

It's just the industry converged onto the same recipe book - some of that is cost cutting, some is just massive amounts of A/B testing throughout the years.

Demand leads to optimization, which in turn leads to convergence and less varied supply. Which is kind of paradoxical, considering the low barrier and creative freedom available with today's tools. And yes, it really started to happen somewhere in early 2000s, not just with movies and the looks but with everything related to visual entertainment, from games to illustrations.

> Behavior spreads through a network as companies almost mindlessly copy what others are doing. When a few firms fire staff, others will probably follow suit.

I generally agree. Copycat layoffs are the result of “we have to do something” thinking, with little thought put into whether or not what’s being done is actually beneficial. Politicians are subject to these types of actions, as well.

If you do the same thing everyone else did and it doesn’t work, you don’t get blamed. You, like everyone else, was a victim of “circumstances”. But if you do something different and it doesn’t work, it’s your ass.

That said, these circumstances could provide cover for companies who need to shed poor performers or performers who’s cost-benefit is no longer positive to the company. But that requires more planning and forethought than I think any of the major players are applying.

Valve would like to disagree with this sentiment ;)

Sure valve isn't making GPUs or CPUs, but they did make the steam deck, in addition to the largest online game store, and several high quality AAA games, and the valve index. They apparently have around 250 people according to a quick Google search, but that still goes against the mindset that you need 10s of thousands of employees to make a successful large scale tech product (whether that's software or hardware).

To me, 48 fps per se doesn't look fake -- it's the fake stuff in the shots that 48 fps reveals to be fake.

The first Hobbit movie set me against 48 fps for this reason. The weapons on the characters backs bounced around as if they were made of foam -- because they presumably were made of foam. 24 fps hides this imperfection and lets your brain fill in with a more appropriate interpretation.

The same bugs me about rerenderings of 90s television at higher resolutions. The sets suddenly look fake -- because they are -- but in standard definition you simply can't tell.

Any improvement in media fidelity must be accompanied by a complementary improvement in set/makeup/prop design to avoid this problem. Problem is, at a certain point -- this extra work simply surpasses what is relevant to tell a good story, and is left undone -- and high fidelity reproductions belie this shortcoming.
