Not a lawyer, but I have helped implement record management systems, and a requirement is always support for legal holds.

Don’t do it right now.

Your level will be meaningless. Nobody in sales cares about your experience unless you’re an industry “thought leader” pumping out articles, podcasts and keynotes.

More likely than not you’ll start as a regular SE. To get promoted, you’re going to have to sell.

You could try with a startup and be sales person #2 after the sales-only-sales-person-without-tech-experience. That’s a good way to learn the basics, get a title, and then move into an established company who will respect your background more and compensate you as such.

But it’s really, really not a good time to get into this. Anywhere.

Tailscale describe zero trust networking more eloquently than I can, here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1123/zero-trust/

The gist being that you are no longer making unverifiable trust assumptions about the identity of nodes connected to your network, as you have encrypted links between all nodes (not just between external nodes and a VPN gaetway to a non-zero-trust internal LAN) based on their verified identity and allowed access.

A node's identity can be verified by its public key, so you no longer implicitly need to trust that only known and expected nodes are plugged into the switch in the office (for example). I do not have to care about whether the physical network infrastructure can be trusted (zero trust) because I can verify the identity of all nodes.

This of course does not mean your entire architecture is zero trust. There are pretty much always trust decisions and assumptions somewhere, but that is why it's described as zero trust [mesh] networking, not zero trust complete end to end systems.

edit/aside: some people prefer the term "trust minimising" rather than zero trust to emphasise that there's always trust somewhere and you are just pushing it outside of some component or layer, and I agree this is probably a better/more accurate term.

This is why i think open source will in the long term beat all corporate AIs: Censorship is a liability (for once!), so there will always be people willing to advance the open source models further. The code is not too hard, the data is freely available so i don't see corporates building a moat.

In fact coprorates should consider that their models will evolve faster if they make them open source (Like LLaMa did)
I have noticed fewer and fewer SMR drives at top capacities lately, but they would be useful for read-dominated workloads provided the ingestion speeds are managed properly (I read somewhere they can be managed at a very low level where you’d be able to write directly to the SMR area for things like replacing a failed RAID unit, where you can write the SMR area at once)
Applying for a visa with work entitlements is a completely different scenario from doing remote work on a temporary entrance visa. Which is what most digital nomads will be using (without creating any foreign tax liabilities for themselves).

Even then you’re confusing tax residency with tax liability. You can arrive in a country, and immediately create tax liability for yourself (by getting locally sourced income for example). But you’re not going to get tax residency until you’ve spent some minimum period there (usually ~6 months), even if that residency is back dated to the day your first arrived.

Has anybody tried learning a programming language from GPT-4?

I’m not a programmer myself, but I have made quite a few static web pages over the years for my own use. I code the HTML and CSS by hand, and I think I have a basic understanding of how they work. But JavaScript has always been a mystery to me.

So the other day I asked GPT-4 to teach me the basics of JavaScript. It responded with an understandable outline of the language and a few code samples. Nothing special there. But then I tried asking it questions, and that is where it really shone.

When, for example, I asked “In expressions like console.log("x is greater") or window.onload = function(), what is the role of the period (.) between console and log and between window and onload?,” it replied “The period (.) in JavaScript is used to access properties or methods of an object” and continued with a multiparagraph explanation, including examples. I then followed up with “How many properties or methods does the 'window' object have?,” and it gave me a list of common properties and methods. I continued asking questions and asking for feedback on some code I wrote until I hit my prompt limit. I felt like I was learning very quickly.

The next day, I tried a similar thing with Python, which I also knew nothing about, and once again the lesson went very smoothly.

I have no idea how good it would be for more advanced learners, but for a beginner like me GPT-4 seems like a great programming teacher. Being able to ask questions and get full answers and feedback immediately was particularly exciting.

> On March 20th, some users of ChatGPT got provided information belonging to other users in their chat. Those information included Names, Last Names, Email addresses, Payment addresses, and the last four digits of the payment method premium users used to subscribe to the service.

> Despite this episode, the details about how the model was (is) trained and what information is being collected from interactions with users through the Chat service are still not clear.

The author seems to be under the impression that the data was exposed through the chat due to the way the model was trained. As the link he includes suggests, that was not the case but rather just a bug in the way they fetched user data from their cache. This data was not returned by chatgpt, but rather their website backend. (He also calls this a legal precedent multiple times which I’m not sure what he means by).
Considering how many times he's survived cancer, I believe it probably does. He also smoked for ~50 years. The salmon was wrapped tightly enough with enough layers of tin foil there was no exposure to any tar in the food - cancer aside, it would be incredibly unpalatable.

No need to quote dictionaries for my own language to me.
That does seem like the obvious argument, but...

Technically, storing chat history from 24 hours isn't really any different than storing it for 30 days. Or 30 years. Either it's on disk somewhere or it isn't, and if it is, then you can just...not delete it. The option to not delete it may not be exposed in the 24 hour option, while it is in the 30 day option, but courts tend to be skeptical of arguments of the form "we have carefully engineered this machine not to have a button to make it follow the law, thus we are blameless".

And of course, even if it really is difficult (obviously it's not impossible given Google's resources and that this is a Google created tool!) to stop deleting the 24 hour chats, Google had other options. For example, they could make a good faith effort to ensure that critical chats took place in channels or group chats where the history setting was enabled. But instead it seems they made an effort to move chats away from there.

> where would cause irreparable damage to the common offering both internally and externally.

I think you'll find that "being able to comply with the law" is generally seen as a positive. It's actually a feature that Google touts quite highly in the contrext of Google Workspace. :)

Also note that this is something that was totally supported by their chat platform when history was enabled, and if you read the PDF, a constant theme is people upset because they were being forced to avoid newer features (like threads) because you couldn't make it delete chats that should be preserved if you were using threads. So rather than the legal system asking Google to damage their offering by adding a feature to it, we see Google asking staff to use a less capable offering because it was lacking the feature.

It is certainly possible that a court may find that what Google did here is okay; that they didn't have an obligation to either not delete relevant conversations that took place in the channels with extended history disabled or hold those conversations in channels with extended history enabled.

But...I wouldn't bet on it. And note that this also came up with the Musk/Twitter saga:

> In McCormick’s letter today, she says she believes Musk did use Signal. “I am forced to conclude that it is likely Defendant’s custodians permitted the automatic deletion of responsive Signal communications between them and possibly others, and that those communications are irretrievably lost,” she writes. Twitter has requested sanctions against Musk, but McCormick hasn’t decided on whether she’ll sanction him yet.

(Source: https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/5/23389568/musk-twitter-sig...)

Musk responded by folding and aggreeing to purchase Twitter after all. And although there were a number of factors there (his case was horrible) a decent chunk was his usage of automatically deleting Signal chats for communications he had an obligation to retain. And whether or not this was okay wasn't ever really an open question; the questions were whether it happened, and if so, what sort of penalties Musk would have to suffer.

> It would be a large precedent.

Not so much.
> What kind of legal guidance were these people getting?

The kind that looked at the Microsoft anti-trust lawsuits in the 90s, and instead of saying, I dunno, "let's not try and gain and wield illegal monopoly powers" but "let's delete all the evidence of us gaining and wielding illegal monopoly power".
Regional prices differences are the result in differences in the ability to pay. Indian companies get less money to pay their workers. It's not like they are earning as much as American companies but decide to pay their workers less because they have a fancy AI price predictor. If Indian companies are as successful as American companies, then wage differences will disappear eventually.
Google, as a company, can easily afford any kind of sanction they may face on this.

It was individuals at the company engaging in blatantly illegal activity. I can guarantee they will face no consequences whatsoever over this. Unless for some reason there was some peon class employee involved in it, in which case s/he will be made the scapegoat.
Click "back to grid".
Once you are the default choice that has other network effects, so yes.

For example if you are a software vendor who needs to ship a proprietary kernel module - think something like software to control a lab instrument - only Red Hat has a credible kernel ABI scheme with the required scale (because of the reasons I gave in GP). So every ISV in this situation specifies RHEL and requires that you run your software on a purchased copy of RHEL for support reasons. And usually the ISV software costs many multiples of the cost of a RHEL license, so it's lost in the noise.

Do we really want a fully open source GPT-4 at this stage?

Considering there are calls already to slow down development to allow society time to adjust, open source GPT-4 would be giving it an instant turbo-charge as very quickly we will have GPT-4 level models with no alignment/safety.
You are no longer "zero trust" as you have to trust the VPN server to verify the identity of the nodes, because the traffic to your node is not encrypted to and from another node (there are two encrypted tunnels between each of you and the VPN server, and the information that would allow you to verify the identity of the other node is stripped at the VPN server).

Your VPN server also basically becomes a network switch in this case, doing the backhaul between all clients, which is likely to be expensive and slow compared to peer-to-peer connections.

If you try to improve this by making the clients entire networks with switches/routers connected to each other only via internetwork VPN tunnels, then you also lose the property of the network that only known, verified nodes can be on that network. Not only can you not verify all nodes you connect to, neither can the VPN server (e.g. someone could plug a malicious or insecure device into the switch in your office, that would then have the same access to the network as other nodes).
That’s still true, but few people need more than 1TB, and those who really do, tend to need more than just 2.

Well, there's two very different views of reality.. And one of them appears to be from a very unhappy customer.

Is it possible that different IBM Depts - or IBM regions, are selling Redhat Software/Support without much actual involvement of the Redhat business? Like the might have done in their traditional reseller/consulting/support role?

TBH I actually think it's likely - sales and account execs can probably just tickbox add RH stuff to their package deals, copy&paste the slide deck - and post sale the customer support channel will be the general enterprise support one.
IBM are probably very deliberately channelling all first level support through there anyway, same as for everything else - so core Redhat support staff might only get looped in for 2nd and 3rd level issues for those accounts, if at all.

It's quite easy to see that effectively creating two sales/support channels depending on whether you "bought from Redhat" or "packaged from IBM" - but equally it's unlikely to be presented or perceived that way, until it's too late.

I believe you when you say they've been hands off - it's surprising, but I can also see how it would make this kind of situation _worse_, because they're still effectively treating redhat as an "external" provider they resell.

Not that fully integrating the business would make it better of course, probably just different worse ( just based on my experience of corporate mergers, not IBM specific... ).

I have seen the same in FAANG. People who say they need/really want more money early will stick to the manager’s ear when comp planning season comes. I’ve had my biggest raise by simply printing out readily available stats for my cohort and indicating that comp is “important to me”.

Sometimes it’s just simple low barrier things like everyone who says they want X can have it. It’s still much cheaper for the company to give X only to those that ask (opt-in) than to everyone. Negotiating is sometimes as easy as insisting that you aren’t worthless, and it’s one of the best effort-reward activities you can do.

The thing that annoys me is that the same corporations that invest tons in their D&I image engage in these practices that have huge biases towards cultural and behavioral differences.

> the legal system would look on moving to the other unrecorded system in the middle of a call with the same kindness.

I don’t know about that. Not producing evidence and destroying evidence are very different actions, even though the intent (of not leaving evidence) is similar.

In the US, moving conversations from a recorded to an unrecorded medium would likely be covered under the 5th. Having conversations on a recorded medium then destroying the record, not so much.
This must be a joke?
I'd say the roles are quite different. You could argue about ICs / SDE / SDMs - but Solution or Sales Engineering require different skill sets. They are more client facing and your KPIs (or OKRs) are more tied to sales, client relationships or contract renewals.
