WhatsName

That is probably the bigger story right here. Not trusting scammy businesses is easy. Getting fooled by big name like Mozilla a different story.

Is this legal, seems anticompetitive to me? It feels a lot like tool companies requiring you to sign a contract not to build tools with it.

I know landing pages are fun and they feel like progress, but to be honest most of the time they are a time sink. Of all the landing pages I built I got maybe a handful of signups, while I could have achieved the same talking to people at a meetup (time invested <5min).

I think my no. 1 startup advice is spend less time pretending and more time building.

> Meta's CEO said more recent layoffs are because companies realized being leaner can make you "more efficient."

So the real reason is the cargo cult Musk started at Twitter. Everyone now wants to proof that they also can keep the lights on with minimal staff.

For me the page briefly loads and then quickly gets replaced by 404 in large letters. Anyone else got that problem?

Strong encryption has properties that make "known plaintext" attacks impossible. You should not be able to tell the message from pure randomness. Breaking End-to-End-Encryption is not impossible but rather far fetched. If they read Snapchat, my bets would not be on broken crypto, but rather a lack thereof.

I think in that parallel universe developers would have switched to jobs akin to ghost busters. Hunting down bugs that have evolved from simple incorrect lines of code into living creatures with a mind of their own.

Thanks a lot!

1) I guess you mean the wordclouds? If so I get your point :)

2) Yes, I though about training my own model eventually once I got enough data

3) No, it's going to be free (and ad-free) for the foreseeable future. I built this for myself and if someone else likes it even better.

I wonder if there is some leeway in common implementations to shave off even more bytes. Like php allows to omit the end tag.

Tells a lot about where we are at in 2023, when closing a store-chain for a week after the busiest time of the year warrants a news article. Generally especially in tech people assume that output correlates 1:1 with the time spent, when in reality, working past 40h a week or skipping holiday breaks probably results in diminishing returns from a macro perspective.

Take some time off, read a book, ponder and think.

While cool as a proof of concept and kudos for execution, this looks like a nightmare to maintain for any non-trivial webapp.

When will a regulatory entity step in and stop large corps to run services at a net loss. In essence, the whole tech industry relies heavily on venture capital supported bait&switch.

Giving services away for free or selling under value is clearly anti-competitive behavior.

Did anyone compare this to nllb (also meta) yet?

Is it still art, if it cant offend anyone anymore?

As the saying goes NKAWTG - Nobody Kicks Ass Without Tanker Gas

Help me out, who needs this and what are some usecases for such high accuracy/resolution. Genuinely curious.

How is the promise to never again participate in warfare compromised? Clearly participating in international criminal investigations is not a military act.

I might miss out on a feature, but I appreciate EU regulations being a deterrent from handing around my private data like a pack of gummibears.

I tried installing openstack a few times and it has always been a pain. Any recommendations how to try out this release on a single server over the weekend?

It's as much a scam as SEO used to be, or still is. Yes there are some techniques, that help you get better results, like providing examples and being precise. Especially local LLMs tend to have their own litte quirks, which you'll have to work around.

Same with SEO, yes, putting all you content in an image is bad, but as a rule of thumb ranking = relevancy * content * honest backlinks * google secret sauce.

If you are able to avoid the obvoius footguns, there is no need to ever hire a Prompt-Engineer /SEO-"expert"

So I can let llama2 summarize books now or are there any non-obvious caveats to this approach?

"We are just doing an exercise"

I know TikTok is everyones favorite bogeyman, but short clips taken from movies have been on youtube for more than a century.

Also as far as I'm concerened they should be considered fair use. At best they might convince someone to actually watch the whole thing, so whos loss is it anyway?

Does it matter though? Nothing in this metric indicates a slight of hand by the author.

Picking a year, starting with the first day of said year in the most prevalent format of calendar and then counting days in which it has been uncomfortably hot is exactly the way I would choose to get the point across.

The fact that there exists such a place in the US is probably more important than that this place was choosen because it scored highest in above metric.

50% of any large tech company are not engineers but people working support processes. Think lawyers, HR, controlling, compliance,...

Now assume a third of the tech half is required to keep stuff running (sys admins, SRE, devops), one third doing the actual developmemt and one third make sure the app is actually aligned with user interests (testing, ui/ux, security)

Split the app teams by platform and you end up with roughly 15 iOS/Android Devs.

As if people can only slack off at home. My unpopular opinion on this topic is that unproductive people in an open office space cause more harm to overall output than productive people spending some of their time unproductively at home.

Question is, if this has always been the case or has become a new/increasing phenomena.

I would call foul if insurances could just weasle their way out of anything that might affect their bottomline because they miscalculated risk.

What if your life insurance drops you because they suddenly get access to genetic data, so they increase their odds after the fact?

"It's a marathon, not a sprint". I've only ever heared this phrase working for a big corp during my first large incident response engagement.

Having worked both at startups and large organizations, I can tell that there are two extremes and neither are healthy.

It seems like you got used to the constant crunch time that startups use to burn faster through their usually young human resources. From my experience, noone can sustain that pace without getting burned out or/and (willingly) compromising on their spouses and personal connections outside work.

Looking at the bigger picture you might realize that there are different point of views what progress means. In big corp it's usually about getting rid of/around obstacles, while startups focus on growth, happy VCs and other metrics that mean very little to a big corporate machine that by itself got enough intertia to keep moving even if it doesn't hit those metrics.

Conversely if your current business is running on billable hours. Finishing earlier and providing unrealistic client expectations might activly hurt your employer.

Acutally, there are docker-compose primitives that solve just that (restart: always/on-failure and depends-on: servicename.

I think it mostly comes down to what layer of abstraction you like working at.

Coming from django primarily, but written some flask code. I would say the ecosystem. As of my last try, adding authentication (via cookies) to a fastapi project was somewhat cumbersome.

Usually as the projects grow, and I start reinventing the wheel, I come to regret not going for a "full" framework.
