just another dev

Honestly, between these obsession posts and all the other non-tech news that gets posted here, I just unsubscribed this morning. The signal to noise ratio in this community is just not worth it to me.

I prefer the latter, because it’s so much easier to filter out posts about Elon than it is to filter out posts about X (without creating a ton of false positives).

I might have been a teensie bit sarcastic when I wrote that ;)

Can you take your unopinionated headlines somewhere else? This is a technology community.

The sad state of political campaigning in 2024.

As long as ads and analytics are separate from each other and the rest.

Good question. The answer is: for a significant amount of people, politics is emotional - so what makes sense isn’t necessarily relevant.

Before welcoming this as good news, be aware that democrats might also start thinking this misinformation is real, and decide to stay home and “not vote for a losing team”.

I guess responses like yours is the reason the headline didn’t mention the actual party gitlab is in talks with. People just love to have their villain.

Ignore the headline. Read the article. Gitlab is not about to sell to Google. They are about to sell to Datadog.

But they have been partially owned by Google for the past time, and the product has been great.

Google’s involvement is only going to lessen, so the only reason to put so much emphasis on that in the headline would be to get those rage clicks.

Typical that the title does mention Google (who currently has a minority stake) but not Datadog, who would become the new owner.

But yeah, I don’t foresee a new owner making things better for gitlab.

Yeah, no chance they’d rely on something that would be so easy to defeat. Watermarking by using word patterns is far more likely.

Still easy to defeat by just using another LLM to rephrase it though.

Looked up her name on Twitter to see what people were saying about this

I’m seriously wondering what your intentions were when you did that.

My brother worked for such a Dutch company (ASM) and often got sent overseas to supervise the setting up of the production lines with these machines.

He mentioned when he’d get sent to Asia, the workers would make sure to get it done over a weekend, while implementing the same setup would take 2 to 3 weeks in the US. In part that was due to the working conditions mentioned, but also simple lack of planning in case of the latter (things would grind down to a haalt because certain changes would need to be made, and the person responsible for the decision wouldn’t respond for hours or days, etc).

Side note: while 36 hour work weeks are common in the Netherlands, 40 hours is still the norm in my experience.

Oh, sure. For the 405B model it’s absolutely infeasible to host it yourself. But for the smaller models (70B and 8B), it can work.

I was mostly replying to the part where they claimed meta can take it away from you at any point - which is simply not true.

WAKE UP!

It works offline. When you use with ollama, you don’t have to register or agree to anything.

Once you have downloaded it, it will keep on working, meta can’t shut it down.

Fortunately, the 2 people they are suing have been identified.

One of them actively drove their car into them, and tried to pin it on the waymo, and the other goes around slashing tires (and is claimed to have mental issues, which does make it more sucky if true).

In the same way that the law doesn’t prevent you from murdering someone, but just makes it illegal to do so.

How it’s handled in countries such as Norway or The Netherlands is that those kinds of classes are exempt from the ban. It’s not a hard issue to solve.

Yeah, nor does the country crowd source the money for the investigation, so I’m starting to see a pattern in your answers.

Have a good weekend.
