Meta created and support React

An engineer who worked at Meta did some stuff on his personal Github and managed to get them to adopt it. They weren't being innovative, they got someone else to do the prototyping and then brought it in.

Much like the same conversation about other large organisations that buy to "innovate".

...Pytorch

Didn't they just hire some of the maintainers of Torch7, who had started on the rework of implementing lessons learnt and migration to Python? So you while you could say they "created PyTorch", it would be quite misleading.

Which they don't take responsibility for anyway.

Oh don't worry, we know that CEOs don't execute any tasks.

All I asked for was a citation, as my observations have been that smaller companies are more willing to take risks as they need to survive.

The larger the corporation, the more risk adverse they are.

More risky movies. If a company has more diversified income stream, it can take more risks on new and interesting movies.

Citation. This is not my observation.

I feel like the most pragmatic perspective is "trust but verify."

This perspective I really don't get.

What has any of the LLM companies done to earn my trust? I lean more towards "verify because I don't trust".

Surely if the machine you go to for answers regularly makes things up you would just stop using it?

We live in hope that people stop doing stupid things and are constantly disappointed.

UK, so on VISA Waiver programme not VISA.

Never overstaying, always fingerprinted on arrival.

Polycarbon Macbooks too.

I remember creating the special boot disks with 32bit grub.

but I've seen a couple cases where the bus number for a module wanted a solution with fewer consequences but the group wisdom wanted something flashier but also more brittle.

Only a couple? This is some peoples entire job, we can refer to them as "enterprise architecture".

Lived experience is a decade ago, and you once saw Kafka solve someone's queuing problem so now everyone's api interface has to run over Kafka. Even synchronous ones.

There was also the scenario where the CPU was 64 bit but the EFI was 32 bit.

Booting a 32 bit OS was fine, but 64 bit OS' generally came with a 64 bit bootloader, so you had to do a special song and dance to load a 32 bit bootloader with a 64 bit OS.

How did i miss this?

Unfortunately it isn't quite everyone, it appears to only be folks affected by the overheating issue and you need to have all the original accessories. I replaced the strap because the one it came with tore.

I went through 3 pebbles with the screen corrupting, and sending it back for a refurb.

I'm jealous that yours is still working, and I'm looking forward to getting back in the fold. My Fitbit Versa that I finally got after the acquisition is definitely spiritually related, but after Google bought Fitbit and got involved it became terrible with bugs.

You can downvote me, but my country has not invaded Ukraine. It has not been providing support to Israel to bomb civilians, it has not attacked Iran to distract from Epstein files.

*looks at Ukraine*

Nope pretty sure thats Russia trying to occupy another sovereign nation, not us.

Based upon their comment talking about vaccines being good, I'm assuming they mean catching something intentionally to train your body at a convenient time.

I remember 30 years ago kids used to be put together if one had chicken pox so the others could catch it to get it out of the way. Covid parties, etc.

This is now considered a bad move.

I mean, the licence says that I can't...

But then they keep buying the absolute cheapest ticket.

I would love to shop around and find seats that give me the things that I want without having to spend more on extra fees, but the model they have now is to basically show me the nickle and dining seat, and then pay to upgrade it to the fee free version.

Use after free?

The fascists also requested papers please. It's an authoritarian requirements, not a communist or facist one.

Unless it is malicious compliance?

Why would they want to spend money on all these alarms unless it is to drive people to complain to their representatives about the amount of them.

Gggp post said they were just sticking with b+w laser, and gp post suggested a colour laser.

I didn't say it did.

If it is a noncommercial licence then it removes the other option to set up a business selling these pre-built. Not everyone wants to build a printer.

It's the brittle systems that try and force a peg in a hole regardless of size or shape.

I've worked with customers who stories worked well because the concept is just to talk through use-cases. Others have been involved in building software previously and it's overkill.

Current corpo job uses the phrase stories, but refuses to get involved with any planning or spec building so task and subtask would make more sense, but subtasks aren't visible on the board and we aren't allowed to update it.

We also aren't allowed to move a task back, so every time someone accidentally moves the wrong task we have to cancel it and recreate it. Such a pain.

I've reevaluated.

Still not worth it. My Brother is hitting 10 years now, and I'm trying to think of many scenarios where I really needed to print colour at home.

Why? Restricting it in this way doesn't make sense to me.

If we have a common design them surely we want people to be able to build their own, or buy a prebuilt?

This is absolute nonsense that highlights a complete ignorance of Linux, and classifying a certain strategy by most modern distros as a fundamental flaw that would prevent anything from ever being cross compatible.

I have plenty of 3rd party applications that weren't provided as part of my distro, didn't require recompiling, and have worked fine over generations of Linux.

I've also had Android games purchased as part of a Humble Bundle that now don't run on modern Android, so the logic is completely backwards.

I didn't get much further than the second paragraph before I just walked away. It was painful reading.

Imagine your hobby is making racial claims in other countries that you don't live in, don't visit, and don't have any involvement in.

But you do need a distraction from how badly your businesses are being run.

Designers dream to have that shitty glass look, straight from Vista.
