CEOs of medium/large companies are the face of the company which means making a couple key decisions per week (a few work hours) and meeting with current/prospective clients (leisure activities). Coupled with making far more $ than the rest of the employees, I suspect they're both bored at the office and feel downgraded to a regular employee. Thus, out-of-office with nothing to show.

But if the company is _coincidentally_ doing great, then the CEO gets credit. If it's tanking, the CEO leaves for another CEO position because the main prerequisite of being a CEO is having been a CEO, regardless of performance.
There is a trend for using old compact cameras. Some say they like the old digital camera look. I suspect most just want something separate from a smartphone. Even when recent smartphone cameras are much better.
It very much is. They will magically start listening to their users again, or fall by the way-side to be replaced, just like chrome.

Business running shit needs to stop.
I don’t see why you should be able to do anything about this legally as an employee. As a shareholder you have more of a claim.
> Having your own datacenter requires someone to manage that hardware.

You do not have to go all the way to running your own DC. There are plenty of bare-metal providers that will provide you the machine with full root access while handling all the hardware maintenance, DC, logistics, etc, all for a flat monthly fee and no junk fees like bandwidth charges, etc.

> But you also have to have the hardware for your peak utilization.

The scaling up/down argument only works if the cloud resources were reasonably priced. With how overpriced they are (add in all the other junk fees like bandwidth, storage, etc) and you'll work out that a stack sized for peak load at a conventional non-cloud host is still cheaper to run than the minimum-load-sized stack at a cloud. The only situation the "scaling up/down" argument works out for is if you need large amounts of hardware for very infrequent events like an AI training task or data transformation job.
I'd think the secret to Navy SEALs' efficiency was methamphetamines, if Fort Bragg was any indication.
Regardless, it can't be the case that the GNU Affero GPL is not a contract, whereas some Microsoft EULA is, or vice versa. They are an instance of exactly the same category.

Well what do you expect to maintain the mouse’s cloud servers, if not subscription revenue? The greed here!
And HSTX is actually pretty flexible. Nowhere near as flexible as PIO, but it can repeat pixels by itself (though, it uses the shift, so you can either pack multiple pixels per 32-bit word, or repeat pixels, not both).

Scanline doubling/tripping and blank line inserting can be done with nothing more than DMA chaining.
I think I read somewhere that forcing credit cards is a way for the merchant to completely avoid prepaid cards. Though obviously imperfect.

Privacy.com had to overhaul their card generation backend a few years ago specifically to handle merchants refusing their single-purpose card numbers due to them being detected as potentially prepaid cards. Though they did do it, so it might work for your case now.

I'm sure there's a fraud angle where someone signs up with a cheap prepaid card, runs up a huge bill, and then the business has no recourse. Though I'm not familiar with Lambda Labs or their billing.

Respectfully, you are wrong. Nothing I've said is untrue.

I gave you examples, where you reciprocated with a personal attack. This is one of the ways in which US internal politics has become infantile and tedious. I would appreciate it if you left it there.

Executives work insane hours. The jobs are there if you want to gun for them. Yes there are lazy executives, but successful companies focused on shareholder value tend to weed them out.
> I've heard this one many times. I pay for news as part of my streaming TV subscription. Should I also pay the NY Times $325 a year for whatever it is that they're selling?

uHH...yes?? Hello? We used to pay $1 every day to buy newsPAPERs? Remember? Does this stuff being on the internet suddenly makes journalism a free labor or something?
You are unable to think precisely enough to have this conversation.
Yes, we have integrations with Google Sheets, so you can write directly there.
So what? CEOs also get paid more. Where is this crying coming from? Create a company, become a CEO, do whatever you want.

No -- but I will leave it to the RFD that I'm currently writing (and to the others that we will make public) to explain the rationale.
A recurring theme in so many startups I've seen inside is how the CEO in particular is extremely aloof with regards to presence. Sometimes that translates to aloofness for staff, but what more often happens is that when the CEO _does_ come in they expect other people to be there. So long as the alignment is good they don't care, but when it's not aligned, they just assume nobody is ever around and get real pissy about people showing up on time.

Fortunately the "good" ones are able to disassociate how much of that emotion is just them being lonely vs how much of it is actual synergy-seeking or whatever. The worst cases are people who get real tyranical, on top of just like... outright not showing up to do the actual day-to-day work that they are blockers on. A proper theory of the mind can often be quite absent.

My really glib take on this phenomenom is that a not-insignificant chunk of decision making for HR stuff is "make the CEO fill the tip-top of their
Maslovian pyramind". And to a lesser extent other executives who have decided that their job is their life.

Very annoying to listen to post-facto RTO arguments when you can feel the loneliness as the driving factor. Make a fun space, and make people's work schedules be loose enough to where they can actually relax in the space, and some people will show up! Or at the very least, give the CEO a fun side project to work on or something.
Oh goodie, another one.

I bet they will also not face any significant repercussions, and they might even start selling their own online data security product.
I hope this is meant to be satirical. The IRS has a massive budget. Maybe just reallocate their current funds instead of giving them more is a better idea.
I mean, I do go to the Orlando office 4 days out of the 14 that my family and I stay at a 5 star resort .. ok maybe 3 and a half days with the 3rd afternoon spend at twin peaks
I think they certainly believed in the existence of the gods as something more than metaphor (although there were skeptics then as there always are,) and many people probably considered their own local myths to be true.

It doesn't seem any less likely to me than Biblical literalists today. I think people forget that what we now consider mythology was more often than not religion to people of the time.
> The breach at National Public Data may not be the worst data breach ever. But it does present yet another opportunity for this country’s leaders to acknowledge that the SSN has completely failed as a measure of authentication or authorization. It was never a good idea to use as an authenticator to begin with, and it is certainly no longer suitable for this purpose.

I completely agree with Krebs's conclusion.

We can replace the role that the SSN plays (authentication) with modern techniques like public-key cryptography. We have the technology. The hard part is in figuring out how to implement it and getting the will to implement it.
> It seems to me that the lines between true history, pious belief, and entertainment were all kinds of blurred.

This is (unintentionally?) hilarious.
I hadn't thought of that, but I love the idea! How's that work?
Do you really think a useful bash script using ChatGPT prompts is worth blogging about? I'm genuinely asking. I've been wanting to start my blog back up I was always primarily a sysadmin, although I've had to move more into DevOps to keep with the times and instead of being more an SRE/sysadmin like I used to be I'm now DevOps meets sysadmin where I'm not helping write our companies application but I do everything else from CI/CD, monitoring, log dashboards, to creation of infrastructure using terraform, ansible etc.

So I don't want you to think my question was being sarcastic... I'm genuinely curious if you think this sort of thing would be a useful or interesting thing to blog about or only in the cases of a resume building thing?
Everyone that has cooed grappled has a story like this. Part of the reason is practice, part of it is giving up before the fight even starts, but also that BJJ places constraints on matches in such a way that make physical characteristics matter less between hobbyists. BJJ–and even contact sports like MMA–don't resemble combat from any era of human history, so we might as well cut the pageantry and settle this by seeing who has more caterpillars in their bedroom right now. I've got at least a couple dozen.
HSTX has a built in TMDS encoder, and as far as I can tell, it has all the functionality of the SIO TMDS encoder.

You can configure it to directly consume any line buffer with any pixel format, from 1 to 8 bits per color channel. It even supports formats with different numbers of bits per channel like 8-bit RGB322 and 16-bit RGB565.
There is a very easy way to do something about it, don't work for those companies.
> This is why I always tell engineers to not give two fucks beyond 9-5 or fixing structural issues.

Addressing structural issues in my organization directly affects how much my job does or doesn’t suck. If I turn a blind eye to every gripe I have in a job, I feel like I can’t complain about how much of a drag it is to work there, because _I haven’t even tried to fix it_. Furthermore, it feels like a disservice to others if I don’t speak up — if I don’t say something because I think my manager/director/CTO is apathetic, I’m indirectly making my coworkers’ experiences worse as well.
> You can run Llama 3.1 70B — the big Llama — for LLM jobs.

That's the medium Llama. Does anyone know if an L40S would run the 405B version?

Samsung and others (including WD IIRC) do internal journaling, so even though they don't have capacitors the drive shouldn't get bricked by a power outage.
And while we’re on the topic, does anyone appreciate how difficult it is to get my 4 bed 2 bath 3200 sf accommodation for 14 consecutive nights with less than 3 months notice? And when you get there the service has really declined. In 2013 the maids would load the dirty dishes from anywhere around the unit into the dishwasher and run it for me every single day as well as a full cleaning. Now they never even load the dishwasher for me anymore and sometimes don’t even wash the balcony floor everyday!
I think programming-with-chatbot is still such a new skill that a concrete, well-written example is a very useful document!
All of it is ultimately needed. Cardio, yes, but resistance training is also needed to maintain muscle mass, and maybe even more important as we age, bone density.
It sounds like you are aware of a technology and in search of a problem. Don’t force it. Most things don’t need AI. Personally, I find it to be a turnoff when a product tries to force AI into a product that doesn’t need it. It makes me write off the entire thing.

I am in a similar position to you… I have a job they the application of AI to that job isn’t readily apparent. My posture during all this is to use AI products as they become available that are appropriate and help me, but ultimately I’m waiting for the market to mature so I can see if and how I should move forward once the bubble pops and directions are more clear. I have little interest in running on the hamster wheel that is bleeding edge AI development, especially when I already have a job that doesn’t need it.

I was trying this with the original llama model. I guess the model didn't really know it's meant to be a 'knowledgeable ai assistant', but rather simulated chats it had seen. If you asked it, 'how to make brownies', it might reply, 'idk, can't you google it?'.
An ethically aligned company goes to reasonable lengths to allow employees to become shareholders.
Sure, but none of that contradicts anything I said, and... makes my point?

Within the constraints of BJJ, which I agree is not full-on combat, obviously... training matters more than weight or strength, a majority of the time.

I'm not sure where the disagreement is, and you definitely win on caterpillars.
You mean we could save $32 million a year just by replacing this one guy with AI?

One suggestion to speed up perf. Use bucket#signed_url instead of file#signed_url, otherwise it's doing an HTTP request to Google every generation.
For a different perspective on print news, consider for a moment the vastly improved reading environment in your typical newspaper reader's home.

When visiting my Aunty, it was obvious why newspapers are favoured in her house. They had a big sun-room at rear, with big tables where numerous newspapers were found spread out in various stages of completion. One glance across the table provided immediate feedback on a range of headlines, pictures, and articles. You can instantly see how long a piece will take to read. So with coffee in hand, you sit down and enjoy the experience.

Newspapers when spread out on tables provide superior readability than a single screen tablet where scrolling and wrestling all the annoyances is a test of patience.

If someone invents a lightweight digital "book" the size of a newspaper but containing less pages, maybe 10 or 20 double-sided digital e-ink pages that can be turned like real pages, I believe people will buy it.

The spine would allow the book to lie flat on any page, like a ring-bound book. When you get to the end, obviously you could choose to load up the next 10 pages from that publisher, or switch to a different publication. Importantly, the book can be left open, laying around the house for the next person to wander in with their coffee, sit down and have a relaxing browse though stories both local and global. No annoyances, no pop-ups, no tracking how long it takes you to read a page or any of that nonsense.

Before we label regional people "outdated", perhaps consider they simply like better reading experiences with their morning coffee.
Oh I'm using uxn as an example for great creativity and utility (but I guess the utility is mostly for the creator and dedicated fans)
If "news" was highly regulated then likely nobody would produce it. Everything would simply become "opinion" or discussion of topics. Honestly you already see that at all the host-personality shows on CNN/Fox/MSNBC, every hour starts with a monologue then 50 minutes of panel discussions.

Awesome work guys! Which industries / jobs do you suspect will be adopting voice agents the fastest?
This thread is very interesting. My question got downvoted. Hovever, everyone gives completely different answers for the question, which means the answer isn't really that obvious. Reddit mentality
Potential terrorists can be identified from social media posts
And even the times that Trump or his people did do interviews with actually combative people, did anyone remember or care? Did anything change? Did it cause anyone to re-evaluate their views? I remember multiple times people interviewing the then-president literally handed him transcripts of his own speeches that contradicted his denials about saying things and he just refused to acknowledge anything was wrong and kept going.

It's not to say there's not ways the media can be better, but people have this "why, if I was a journalist, I'd fix everything with this one weird trick" and that's just not how any of it actually works in reality.
I've seen it more than once, and the most recent time was my buddy who showed up specifically trying to prove a point. He was untrained. She was very trained. He didn't succeed at making his point.

He signed up for the gym a month later.
Maybe so, but that doesn't matter all that much. All journalism has a point of view and its impossible to be completely unbiased...the most suspicious kind of media consumers are those that cannot recognize the bias within the media they consume.

NPR is undoubtedly a "leans left" shop in the same way Fox is undoubtedly "leans right".

Of course, even if we were talking about the WSJ or Economist or something...that's still biased. Being dead center between the current interpretation of left or right is still a kind of bias.
I filled out a contact form some months ago asking how I, as an individual, can purchase an individual subscription. After some back and forth they coul only offer to connect me with their sales team. No thanks.

Provide a low friction subscribe and unsubscribe flow, and I will gladly pay for your product, Reuters.
If only it was so simple. You typically don't have the memory capacity and computational budget to sort and render the whole scene back to front. You can use bucketing and other tricks to try and do a better job, but at the end of they day it is just impractical. This method has been studied for decades and it is still not in common use.
Everybody knows. We all have the same Internet as you
I see news as three parts: facts, opinions, and curation.

There are plenty of free and reputable news sources and paying doesn't seem to increase the credibility of the news.

So we're effectively paying for the opinion and curation. However, I don't feel the need to pay to read about a random journalists opinion nor the curation of a (possibly politically motivated) editor when I can read hundreds of people's opinions nicely curated by upvotes on sites like Reddit and Hacker News.

I have to admin, I spend far more time reading comments than the actual article.
RTO has always been about social hierarchy, not economics.
It's pirating when these scrapers are ignoring terms of user and whatever the AI equivalent to robots.txt is as has been widely reported as happening.

At some point, you the audience member has to be able to whittle down two sides of an argument and determine who "wins", rather than having some broadcaster decide for you.
I honestly wonder if the secret to quality of life is just to save up money and buy a profitable small or medium sized business mostly financed against the business. If you want to grow it, you can. Otherwise, you can get relatively passive income out of it and experience as a CEO that allows you to apply to other CEO jobs if it fails.
I’m not sure what this comment brings to the table either, I mean are you really saying their opinion is invalid because they’re new / haven’t “put enough time in”? That doesn’t seem very fair.

I don’t think newcomers should be excluded from conversations…what’s the requirement; 12, 24, 48 months? Who determines that? Account age isn’t the best indicator of good-faith participation (accounts can be hacked, bought, etc.).

Instead engage with the content itself and where it comes from to determine if it seems to be in “good-faith”. Ironically, writing off someone’s opinion based on a single (potentially unrelated) fact is probably “bad-faith”.
I love the concept, but it needs to be "signal" level easy to install, interface and use.
Did we? I grew up middle-class and no one I knew got actual newspapers. That was always a marker for me of someone being rich. We maybe got weekly/monthly news magazines, but that's an order of magnitude cheaper.
You're basically describing the BAT from Brave
Never said anything about not wanting to build something but rather the community determines the terms. This is how it goes and will in any non-tyrannical society. The stakeholders are the key constituents when it comes to decision making. Not outside interlopers.

This is...kind of an insane take on what NPR does and does not cover?

First, the insinuation that they make an effort to remain unbiased is kinda wild. As an NPR listener and donator, that isn't at all the impression I get. They seem to overwhelmingly cater their coverage and their slant towards people a lot like me. That's why I listen and why I pay and what paying customers actually expect (whether they are consciously aware of how they are supporting and consuming their own preferred bias in media is maybe 50/50 but whatever).
Hi, I'm the person that wrote that sizing comment in the draft for this article. I have been trying for a while and have been unsuccessful at getting 405B running on any of the GPU machines. I suspect I'd need a raw 8xA100 node to do it at Q4. I doubt there is any reasonable combination of L40s cards that can do it on fly.io. It's just too big. I suspect that in time the 70b model will be brought up to be roughly equivalent, but realistically it's already on the GPT-4 threshold as is. I've found that 70b is more than sufficient in practice.
One company I worked for expanded to an Europe office that consisted of just 1 employee. A coworker tried to get the office address, but could never get a straight answer.

When layoffs came around the COO was so out of touch at that point he literally complained about having to fly his family back from Europe.
This is one reason to avoid any company run software that requires a CLA to contribute. No CLA makes it a lot harder to do this, at least if they have very much in the way of community contributions. Distributed ownership would keep them honest.
Legally, no. Ethically, probably. Socially, yes. A group of employees who feel they are being exploited by an inequitable treatment of their their management would have a lot more options than take your pittance or leave.
> it's not so obvious if "AI" is a distinct class from human

It is. It obviously is. It's the same reason that a person watching a movie and remembering it later is different than recording the movie with a camcorder.

> Ah but I made a robot that walks into theaters, buys a ticket, records the movie, leaves, and then recreates the movie at my home an infinite number of times. I didn't break the law, since a human could surely do the same thing with enough practice and effort.

Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
