what is it with people choosing evil corpo names

I don't have the full letter at hand, but basically: - new job paid almost 3x than this one - I was the sole maintainer of an important project and they had no one else

so they made me not tell anyone I was leaving, and the letter was edited to make it less obvious how much of a better opportunity the new job was.

I'm running it on a docker container that only has mounted a folder from the host os. been playing around with godot and blender. still looking for a good workflow, but pi is lovely.

reminds me of a former job in which my goodbye letter was heavily editorialized...

Technically you are proposing targeting poor people with extra steps. charming.

> Native Americans accidentally gave the Europeans Syphilis

not comparable, how do you GIVE someone (that is probably raping you) syphilis?

> "the blaster weapon is way too powerful, divide it's hit points by 10"

this is literally faster to do it yourself

> "we need a way to reconnect a player whose network dropped mid round" or "the GPS doesn't work on iOS"

these would not.

Atomic dome vibes when looking at some of the few buildings still standing

I remember watching those promos of need for speed 2 SE running on a 3DFX and feeling like a peasant for not having one.

the hopes and dreams of the publisher, author probably sees a very small %

cheaper to defend on earth than launch and maintain in space.

Thanks for writing this, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills otherwise.

someone did not like you linking that!

This could have been useful for 2019 me, lmao (abstract follows):

The Molecular Theory is a theoretical and computational framework for the study of soft matter (polymers, surfactants, gels, biological membranes, etc). For example, this theory has been used to study polymer self-assembly, biological nanopores and nanoparticles modified by polymers. The objective of this framework is to find the density and chemical state of all molecules (polymers, solvent molecules and/or ions) in each position of the system. To achieve this, the system’s free energy is written down as an approximated functional of these unknown functions. Analytically minimizing the free energy functional provides analytical expressions for the densities and chemical states. These expressions are discretized following a finite differences scheme which results in a coupled non linear equation system. In order to find a solution for this system we have to find a solution vector X such as F(x) = 0 (where F is the set of coupled non linear equations). The solution to this problem is obtained by employing a variant of Newton’s method. The evaluation of F(x) in each iteration of the method is the most taxing part of the whole program (performance wise) because it requires the multiplication and addition of very large sparse matrices. As of today, the storage and computation of these sparse matrixes operations is done employing an in-house compressed format which doesn’t store the null elements, but the real efficiency of the employed routines hasn’t been evaluated for possible optimizations. Additionally, the code employs the MPI standard for parallelizing the computations, but doesn’t implement optimizations for massively parallel architectures.

eventually I'll try to port it to GPU, if that is even possible or ideal.

so who is paying for this? "humans must always remain accountable for artificial intelligence (AI) decisions"

A dear friend of mine had a battle of sorts with a fan of mother theresa in the spanish version of her article.Of course the zealot maintainer won in the end, no place for evidence backed criticism in religious wiki articles.

Dr Moreau would be proud

Would they be able to hit the kill switch before the AI disables it?

I'm starting to be a little worried about what Putin has planned for Europe.

v4 pro was decent then a better cheaper faster model comes now?

As a consumer I feel like hansel and gretel combined, deepseek could be the witch.

> Your local trailer park was never going to be able to afford sponsoring high energy

taxes.

It's funny that when faced with a weapon that could finish the war, option b was still selected (thanks Teller).

But the people faced with decisions close to IPO, well, we know what is happening.

It's a bit depressing. I personally try to enjoy the present with my loved ones as much as I can, the future is a bit impossible to forecast right now. I'm focusing on staying alive, mortgage payments, etc.

I share your concern...

to my knowledge the mathematicians did not have ZDR so it would be incorrect to assume OAI violated such a thing.

I'm suggesting audits, not suing... if that is the implication.

If I was a company with a zero data retention contract involving OAI I would be asking for a third party audit of such claim of zero retention like, yesterday.

> (the goal here was not to scoop any particular individuals and we were looking at many problems beyond these)

That is your opinion, but the optics of that should raise for you some flags. OAI could have waited (how long is a task left to the ethics committee) to see how the rumors panned out. Right now the optics look a lot like "we don´t care there is a 1/7 chance we one-up a human researcher by reacting to this rumor immediately, might makes right"

Interesting that they quote the mathematician directly: “there is nothing you can do, I simply do not trust you”

but then they proceed to NOT quote themselves themselves verbatim: "I deeply apologize for this extremely poor choice of words, it is the opposite of what I was trying to convey."

I´m waiting on the other side version, because I know there is no justifiable way to talk to a person like they did.

Sociopathic behaviour.

yatch can get into international waters so anything goes? So in my mind if someone owns a yatch they are into weird an illegal stuff 99% of the time.

Everything is high tech except for the cat litter collection, which tells me the owner already knows cats don't like automated litter collection. I wonder how hard is to keep the house clean tho!
