Very carefully

What do you mean “but still…”? It’s a pretty important distinction. Meta does indeed use their massive GPU farms to train models and then release the weights for free and people indeed run inference on prosumer hardware

The information that person X owns Y shares is private cap table info. Carta breached that privacy by using it for lead generation

I think a rough analogy would be:

You’re a startup who keeps a payroll spreadsheet in Google Sheets and the Google recruiting team accesses that data to recruit your employees and decide how much to offer them.

There’s nothing wrong with Google trying to hire your employees, but it’s wrong for them to use your confidential data from another business unit to do so.

Don’t forget the guy who can’t make up his mind so he tries to be both a food snob and the voice of the people at the same time

You might say the same thing about doing research in general

It’s fun and I don’t care about censorship. Also there are no ads (for now)

Generative AI is almost always a service problem. If a model can offer customized art instantly 24/7 for free but the artist says you have to wait 3 months and it’ll cost 500 dollars and I only accept PayPal, then the model’s service is more valuable.

The chart shows child pedestrian deaths went from 1632 to 144. So a tenfold decrease. No idea about the stats on child pedestrianship but I’d be surprised if it was down 10 fold.

It’s also facially absurd to anyone uses Reddit beyond scrolling the front page.

Some malicious actor is fabricating 100 comments a day about the nitty gritty of the New York Times crossword?

Damage control?

It’s an interesting line of thought, but I don’t think it really works as stated. Even if Meta thinks trump has a 10% chance of winning, it makes sense to cozy up to him in ambiguous and deniable ways.

No. It’s illegal to fix a sanctioned boxing match. Both in the sense of being against the rules of the entity putting on the match, and in the sense of violating the law.

Wrestling is a different beast but boxing is heavily regulated in the US

Just want to add another voice in favor of OP. They have explained this extremely clearly, it’s hard for me to imagine demanding more

Nothing really, but are we even talking about anyone in particular? I’m not sure OP’s vague recollections have the wherewithal to defend themselves

For whatever it’s worth, the “first link below” story contains this quote from the author of the first story

“ This is really, really bad. It means, of course, that when I dismissed Richard Bradley and Robby Soave's doubts about the story and called them "idiots" for picking apart Jackie's account, I was dead fucking wrong, and for that I sincerely apologize.”

Is that really the point? Is religitating decade-old internet arguments the most interesting way to look at this?

Might as well skip the whole video!

Recently upgraded my work laptop to an M1 and I gotta say I miss the touchbar. Very sad that they got rid of it seemingly forever. Concretely it was great for managing screen recording. But in general I don’t understand the backlash, especially once they added a physical escape key for my fellow vim heads.

The haters won but I wonder what their victory cost us. Am I supposed to be happy I got my F11 key back??

Yes, the issue was increased risk of the buyer backing out. In which case I would get a few grand in earnest money and have to relist (or hope the other potential buyers haven’t found something else in the meantime and still want to go through with their offer).

The house had some warts, and the second highest bidders were locals who had toured the house and had it inspected. Closing was pretty much a lock.

Maybe there was something else unattractive about your offer and the 2.8 fell through? Happens all the time.

When I sold a house recently I took the second highest offer, because the highest offer came from someone out of state who had never set foot in the house

Incredibly rude comment

What do you mean “directed”? I read the facts of this situation and felt angry all on my own

They were in the early days. I remember someone posting about how their Tesla broke down and a Tesla flatbed pulled up with a working car, swapped them out, and left their car as a loaner

I would honestly love a cubicle. Not being sarcastic at all. It’s funny to think back on Office Space and Dilbert and the general pervasiveness of the idea that cubicles are soul crushing. Open plan offices are 10x worse and everybody does them

Holmes does use a scientific process. He forms hypotheses and tests them, and when they are proven wrong he synthesizes the new information and then repeats until he solves the case.

Rumble is doing well and Brand already has a deal with them. Twitter supports long form video now and the owner is a big supporter. Plenty of other places

What kind of device? They make IP cams that push their stream to a preconfigured remote endpoint (with TLS). It would have to be a server on the public internet though, your phone probably wouldn’t work

Very good wisdom here. Especially the part about your manager’s manager liking your manager. I’ve always been happiest working for managers that were politically savvy and had “juice”.

If your manager is on the precipice of being fired you’re in a bad spot. This is also true of PMs. At mega corps you can and should change teams but in a rocket ship company there probably are no processes for that and even bringing it up is risky.

I don’t really have any advice here other than to be aware of it. My last job I got hired on to work under a guy with a lot of juice but then six months later he got promoted and I ended up with a rookie manager. Maybe I should have made a stink back then

Sometimes I feel this way and then I come across a post where dang hasn’t gotten around to blowing away the low effort joke comments. Turns out it sucks
