… What do you mean you keep in contact with people if I have a phone? What a wild concept

This is actually an interesting answer. I am in the process of reading the main book as of now and I can already feel it won’t be enough. I did find out recently about rustlings and that is actually quite nice to have a feel on the language. I do think however more is needed, and as you mentioned, doing small programs should help. Problem is: where to even start? I find incredibly hard to have ideas on things to do on the smaller scale that are good for learning opportunities. Also another thing I am equating to do is to actually just read existing working code of some Foss project. I still didn’t find one that is good to already see patterns and other nuances, but if someone knows that would be very helpful.

I see a lot of people dog pilling on the down votes and getting all rilled up on someone that did try and unfortunately did not make things work. Why? Did is the sort of behavior that drove me away from linux many years ago (I am back with fedora and things work quite better since then). When you are ready to help out and/or be more understandable then things improve. Until then, you are creating moats with people you didn’t even met or understand.

And that is also true, however, as a CEO you are paid for mostly 3 things:

• company steering
• company vision
• accountability

If a CEO fails the accountability part… Why is he even being paid? I had a discussion over the years about managers that don’t take responsibility if someone on their team messed up and throw under the bus whoever did the thing wrong. If I was in a position of power, I am sure I would fire the manager on the spot. It is literally part of your function to take responsibility in a collective level

You are not wrong, but if you read between the lines it says the message exactly as I mentioned, claiming “they did it”, like the CEO has nothing to do with it

This story reminds me of something else I have been pointing out for a very long time. It is not so uncommon to see layoffs after McKinsey drops by the building for a while (could also be bein or other consultancies in the same field), and more often than not, ceos like to say " they made me do it!!". So… To be clear, you do not have agency and you are not control whatsoever about these layoffs? Really? Sounds difficult to believe.

What we are seeing right now is a massive backlash on how llms got advertised and subsequent effects (I mean, did you see the price of ram lately?). The thing is, if this got advertised and grew in a responsible manner, all of this would not exist. We would have most people evaluating llms as tools instead of being the anti Christ. It is a shame, but it is what we have. Also, I do think llms will be better in the future, but much smaller than what we have now (and more local as well).

If the only other would be my mom and no one else I would accept the “everyone thinks that you’re cute” part. Otherwise I would politely, but firmly, say to the people to go to the optician, because for sure they would wrong AF.

I have an excellent filter, not talking to people. Works every time.

The nan one was fire ngl

The problem is a bit more nuanced unfortunately. There has been open source projects that decided to close bug reports because there is just so many of them, and, a good portion of them are either duplicated or straight up not relevant (meaning, in a vacuum you could say there is a bug on place x, but looking at the code more broadly it doesn’t really apply). If the bug reports that came out were mostly good quality and relevant I would for sure be more positive of this.

Only after some belly rubs

On situations like this, redirect the people to recent incidents that prove the point. The last typhoon attacks on the USA make super clear on how brittle the network infrastructure can be, but also how insecure some legacy protocols are. EDIT: also the odido data leak on the Netherlands also proves a lot this point as well.

If you happen to want to know more on why, there are 2 podcasts that talk about this on a very regular basis:

• Deep Questions with Cal Newport - super chill guy that every week has an episode on ai reality check. Usually explains quite at length why something is happening on ai why is factual or not
• Better offline - Ed can be quite opinionated and sometimes borderline ranty, but he also tends to breakdown stuff like financial numbers on ai investment and why (or why not) you should break those down.

Until the refund fees become too much to be supported (and it will be because I don’t see more payment processors going by, if anything,we have less and less because reasons), that is basically the stance on this subject yes

Just one question: why is f*uck censored the way it is? Are we allowed to say fuck but not fiuck? Or fuuck? Great post nonetheless

Wow it sounds wonderful but personally I would not dare to write on a typewriter due to the amount of errors I do typing in real time. I would be more annoyed than anything else (and on this short comment I got the autocorrect around 5 times… Brilliant)
