devils advocate: to promote their own platform through it and to try to keep it as “open” as it is. In the end, they also profit from people running models locally or on a server, as long as it’s their hardware

the skeptic in me: sooner or later, the models will only be available with a paid account, and all external connections to non-nvidia run services will be cut

I’m reconsidering eating a burrito ever again. Fucking hell

the way he rages at people on the mailing list?

not really anymore for quite a while.

he will absolutely tell someone that should know better, if they are doing a bad job, but the times of random shitstorms is over for quite a while now

definitely of the highest quality

I’d take President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho above basically any government head right now

People need to stop using brave

A lot of stuff was called ai and wasn’t intelligent. Stop using this argument, it weakens any discussion that wants to argue against ai/llm usage

I mean, if it works out for you, it’s totally fine to give the option. For a lot of shops it’s just not worth the hassle. Really depends a lot on where you ship from and where to

You’re lucky in that case

Having shipped packages commercially myself and managing online shops at work, there’s a significant amount of lost and damaged packages here. Especially when uninsured packages are used

And I’ve experienced it multiple times that people get angry when you basically tell them to pound sand, because they didn’t want to pay a little extra

Now you have the option to make a loss and ship it out again or have an angry/sad customer. As well as a significant amount of support ticket work

Or you can just not do that, the shipping is a little more expensive, and everyone is happier in the end

Man, I hope not

where I’m from, basically all sellers only offer insured shipping.

just the fact alone that you don’t have to tell angry customers that they are out of luck, because they didn’t feel like paying for the insurance is worth the slightly fewer sales

The hash question is just something from the top of my head. I normally fit it to the situation.

I absolutely take nervousness into account, as I can relate to it.

The thing is, I need to know if the person can push back in some way. it’s a hard thing to do in interviews, but also the first point for me to check how a person reacts

I’ve been bitten too many times, with dev coworkers who don’t give at least a little resistance when vague or stupid tasks show up. Only to notice hours or days later, when something was done completely the wrong way

When I interview (experienced) devs, I often ask way too generic questions. Something along the lines of “can you explain what a hash is?”, without stating what kind of hash and in what context

The primary goal isn’t really to explain it in detail, but to see if they get confused and ask for clarification. Way too many people just start assuming something, when a task is not defined properly. I need coworkers that push back on bullshit, and not blindly implement whatever runs along their desk, no matter how little sense it makes

If I don’t hear at least one “it depends” during an interview, I don’t have high hopes

people in here seem to be very confused about the concept of images found on other platforms getting reposted

Depending on the party, there will also be speed bumps involved

They are distributing cards with just the licence key for switch2 games. No way to play once the online store is offline

I just do both

Honestly, I don’t think so

The main reason being, that they genuinely don’t need it. GTA6 is the most anticipated game this decade, probably only topped by half life 3

They already are in the news every time someone in that company farts, no leak necessary

That’s just an additional thing for me. I spend around 100 bucks a month on patreon, but it’s just not possible to do that with all channels I watch

Oh, and nebula of course

Yes. But mostly because I know that my view pays the creators I watch orders of magnitude more that an ad based view

Being ad free is just a bonus I don’t really notice because I have ad blockers anyway
