jalev··on Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all, say economists
The headline is a bit baity (in that the article is describing no job losses because there hasn't been any economic benefit to LLM/GenAI to justify it), but what if we re-ran the study in a country _without_ exceptionally strong unionisation participation? Would we see the same results?

jalev··on UK Blocks Microsoft’s $69B Activision Deal
No. It's only relevant in the UK. If other regulators want to go forward with it then they can.
jalev··on UK Blocks Microsoft’s $69B Activision Deal
It's not all or nothing. Microsoft will not be able to sell _gaming_ services in the UK. The other things will be fine.
jalev··on My Salary History
Unfortunately no; it's on the high side for the sector. In my circle only I only see 6 figures for people working in the finance sector.
jalev··on Getty Images v. Stability AI – Complaint
From the article it might be read as "Stability AI didn't even bother attempting to reach out"

> Rather than attempt to negotiate a license with Getty Images for the use of its content, and even though the terms of use of Getty Images' websites expressly prohibit unauthorized reproduction of content for commercial purposes such as those undertaken by Stability Al, Stability AI has copied at least 12 million copyrighted images from Getty Images' websites, along with associated text and metadata, in order to train its Stable Diffusion model.

SCEE R&D Europe (http://develop.scee.net/) | Full Stack Web Application Engineer | Full Time | London, UK

Hey there HN!

Our team here at SCEE R&D Europe need your help!

I'll get right to the point. Our team is an Agile PHP shop working with a MicroServices product and transitioning a legacy app towards the architecture.

We're looking for someone to become part of an enthusiastic multi-disciplined team of 9 to help deliver new projects into production, and maintain and transition a legacy one to 2015.

Our stack mostly consists of:

- PHP (mainly, we do have other apps written in Node.js and Python)

- CoreOS, fleet/etcd

- Docker!

Please send your CV's over to [redacted]

The rigmarole job-board posting is here for a more comprehensive list of stuff: (https://www.playstationjobs.co.uk/vacancy/1023-Full-stack-we...)

For more about the team, visit our about page ;) (http://develop.scee.net/about/devnet/)

jalev··on Ask HN: How do you use Docker in production?
Deployment. We have a legacy application that would take about a day of configuration to deploy properly. With Docker (and some microservices goodness) we've reduced the deploy down to an hour, and are continually improving it.
jalev··on How to Buy Bitcoin
What about trying to buy Bitcoins from a country that isn't the US? I shouldn't have to send you the left arm of my first-borne to verify I'm a human being and then be limited to performing any transaction in dollars.

More that it's a closed-source, invite-only blogging platform that had a somewhat mixed announcement[1] (partially due to the invite-only status)

Maybe Yahoo's involvement with Tumblr will be limited, much like Conde Nast's management of Reddit.

And like everything else that happens via Tumblr, this entire series of events will be forgotten in less than a week, regardless of the outcome.
jalev··on Poll: HN desktop Linux users, what distro do you use?
It's weird; I was introduced to linux via CentOS (while working) and I immediately fell in love with it, but I can't pin down /why/ I genuinely like this particular distro. Anything I come up with seems pedantic at best.

Maybe I'm just in love with a particular part of linux. Maybe its how I'm able to look at the innards of an OS and see how components of a system interact. Or maybe I'm in love with the puzzle in an enigma that is dependency management. I just don't know.

jalev··on Dear Class of ’13: You’ve been scammed
Not to mention that the government has changed the interest rates[1] on loans for courses starting in '12. It's still lower than the interest rates that banks offer, but it's edging pretty close.
