First, you should clarify what it is you want to do. What type of "a job" do you want? Then reverse engineer how to get there. The more fancy a job you want, the earlier you need to start accumulating some sort of social proof you are a "high achiever", especially if there is nothing particular special about your background. If you're not sure, your best best is probably to go after the best opportunities and experiences which are available, and go from there.

They are literally being forced to do this by the government. The counter-ask if for them to self immolate in order to take a principled stand, as access to all their models is banned.

pretty cool.

Yes, it's the ads. After all, we know how economical and fast it is for people to access healthy meals. I look forward to the speedy eradication of all obesity problems

"We are not influenced by any foreign government, including the Chinese government."

It is laughable to suggest that the basis for this ruling is anything less than fear and paranoia about Chinese government softpower. Nothing they could have said, and no fact they could bring to bear, would change the outcome of the court, which has been predetermined, for better or worse, by the current American political climate.

What about X (the everything app)?

Could happen under Trump...

you do not think there are legitimate hedges which can be made with events trading on prediction markets?

I think, indeed, a lot of people are effectively using the markets to gamble, but the same can be said for equities/futures.

I see no reason they shouldn't be allowed, since there are proxies that people can trade as well

I don't understand how the award is only $250? Isn't there some market standard for determining the damage amount

No they didn't. You can read the actual document the stuck at the very end of the article.

I think most modern Python codebases are using dataclasses/ something like Pydantic. I think dicts are mostly seen, like the author suggests, because something which you hacked up to work quickly ends up turning into actual software and it's too much work refactor the types

Meta is already a target for regulators - they are going to have to be very careful around this. I think this is why the "metaverse" is still more likely to be decentralized than created by a tech giant. Even if Meta wanted to take a libertarian, "dream whatever you want", stance or even a "dream whatever you want so long as it is more or less legal" stance, they would see a regulatory deluge come pouring down on them. There is no way VR will be able to go mainstream without a drawn out fight over content prohibitions. I think the early internet was a bit of a historical outlier in this sense, where it happened to come about when a relatively laissez-faire attitude towards censorship was prevailing and people did not realize the full impact it would have. That is not the case now. People understand on all sides that this technology has the potential to revolutionize our systems of social relations once again, and I suspect that they will be fighting tooth and nail to shape that outcome as they most desire.

You do not need to know how `useState` works to understand how to use it to write a React application, it is fairly intuitive to understand how to apply the pattern.

If I look at your library, it seems to me like it requires a much more complex mental model to begin to use.

Of course, it is better in theory for a developer to thoroughly understand the details of their framework, but empirically, React has been very successful in allowing people to build relatively sophisticated applications while understanding very little of the underlying model.

It's a great tool, but no one is going to want to pay $10/mo for it.

You will get a better ROI if you replace the pricing with a link to your socials/ website.

You want to fund a new American semiconductor manufacturer from scratch?

Management and culture problems will always be endemic in large companies. There is no company with 50k+ employees that does not have serious inefficiencies. Intel has not performed nearly as well as it "should" have, but it's not exactly on its deathbed either.

Intel has a lot of options available to it. It also has a lot of smart people. It would be a good thing for everyone if Intel were to find a way to succeed more, and I think in the long run it eventually will.

Most companies which required billions in startup capital were engineered out of larger established organizations. Or they evolve naturally - nobody set out to build any of the top 3 cloud hyperscalers as they exist today.

because they want the sheet in LibreOffice?

How many niche verticals SaaSes that raised like $200 million only to go to zero? Even if this can't beat OpenAI models a commodity LLM which is about as good (and they have proven that they can build) is probably worth close to the investment

Amazon Meta or Google should please create and maintain a corporate fork. The performance fixes could happen faster and would probably pay for themselves. No more problems with issues like this. Would provide some people with good jobs.

> leaves only two claims standing: one accusing the companies of an open-source license violation and another alleging breach of contract

these seem to be major claims?

sure, have you ever gone outside? thousands of cameras everywhere in any populated place, so why not?

this will be good for tech if it continues... short term pain, sure... but if sell off continues it will pressure fed to loosen rates and turn money spigot back on for startup and investment capital. the recent appreciation in tech stocks has primarily benefited existing shareholders and AI has driven more capex expense expansion that opex

It would be a management nightmare in addition to almost certainly getting blocked (maybe some chance under a Trump administration...?)

Why would I, as an employer, pay extra money for an undifferentiated pool of job candidates in a market where there is already an oversupply?

> Recall the incentive structures are made by management.

I think more incentive structures naturally emerge over time. Managers have other managers who have other managers... etc who have some different set of incentives. There are also shareholders

A lot of time the right smart thing is done anyway, but usually that's luck in having a couple of good smart people in your org chart chain, or just the rising tide of the economy making it easier for generosity to prevail

Management "blew it", but there were probably no negative consequences to them in the case. There are negative consequences for the shareholders when this sort of stuff happens over time in the aggregate... which I believe you get to call the "Principal Agent Problem" if you earn an Economics degree or understand game theory or something...

Salesforce/ServiceNow/Snowflake all offer certifications I believe for roles where you are basically just using their platform. Not the greatest jobs but usually less competitive to get than traditional development roles. Government jobs are probably a good idea as well (not very flexible I imagine though). IT jobs can be high pressure w/out any of the salary and other benefits of software dev so I would stay away from those options if you have the chance

"elite school"

Some of it is greedy incompetence but a lot of it is just incentives structures.

It is easier to make the justification in a lot of orgs that you need to go out and hire someone to replace someone who left at "market rate", than that you need to pay someone x% more, based on work that is probably nebulous to whoever you need to make the case to.

I don't think there has ever been a time where this has not been the case outside of very small companies or niche operations. The same sort of incentives are endemic in a business of any scale, because ultimately org structures end up as pyramids and people will intrinsically compete to be at the top

Startup idea: A teams/slack/email competitor that takes everything you write and translates it to an AI summary before sending it, so it is therefore exempt from discovery
