Additionally - I will be getting married, to a US citizen, after filing the N-400 but likely before it will be approved or before the oath ceremony. Does that change the answer? In theory, she's not benefiting my case and not benefiting from my case, but I'm not sure if USCIS has a different opinion.
And the easiest option: Legislation change. If it's completely decided that the current law blocks LLMs from working in the US, the industry will lobby to amend the copyright law (which is not immutable) to add a carveout for it.
You're assuming that people will just give up. People never gave up, why would they now?
If the US makes it illegal to train LLMs on copyrighted data, the US will find a solution and not just give up and wait half a decade to see what China does in the meantime.
It's a separate company now: HPE "Hewlett Packard Enterprise". He mentions them in the blog post, but if you don't know that in 2015 HP split into two companies, you might not realize. He holds stocks in both companies, HP and HPE (in 2015, it was the same number, but since then there were some splits).
Fairly common. JetBrains started that way too. Will they one day have a major version that's using a subscription model? Perhaps. But they will likely not regret this too much.
Isn't this a good default? No network access, no need for a public certificate, no need for a certificate that might be mistakenly trusted by a public (non-malicious) device, no need for a public log for the issued certificate.
Then no.
The Know Your Meme article, linked from the post page, is the best anti-review for this app.
When you exceed the limit, your Netlify-hosted sites are suspended until the end of the month. Netlify DNS remains operational, as we're aware that people operate non-Netlify infrastructure, such as email, that relies on it.
> I'm actually in that exact process, and have absolutely no idea if half of the providers I'm looking at have a decent product.
Because they used it at a previous company, because they're renewing with their current vendor but are required to compare prices, because the CIO got a recommendation at a conference that is now mandatory, because their ex-colleague works at the vendor, etc.
1. Someone who wants only one feature that's not in self-service but doesn't have the budget to pay more. 2. Someone willing to pay more but not enough more. 3. Someone who's just trying to compare prices between vendors but isn't a serious buyer (especially when not an existing customer). 4. Various non-obvious spam (affiliate resellers, etc.). 5. Someone who's interested but can't get a sale to happen given their role: has no budget and their manager doesn't have budget, has no authority on technical decisions. 6. Someone who's only curious. 7. Etc. etc. etc.
The level of effort required to press that button is very low, so it isn't that great of a filter. Again, they take those calls because the lack of filtering doesn't mean it's never a quality lead.
1. It gets added to a list of marketing website leads, which is owned by SDRs/BDRs who are there to filter and qualify leads. These are usually early-career people, with a base salary + quota for qualifying leads. The website is many times their least preferred channel of leads due to the quality, but they can't ignore it because sometimes good customers do come through there.
2. The SDR will either work over email or on a call; their goal is to identify if you're a real potential customer (vs shopping for prices, vs confused about what we sell), write up notes, and identify which customer segment you belong to (geography + business type + business size).
3. You will then speak to a salesperson (with varying titles "Account Executive", "Sales Director", "Regional VP of Enterprise Sales", or whatever inflated title makes sense for that sales organization). Their goal is to confirm they're speaking to the right person in your organization (or wasting their time), if your use case is meaningful enough for the "enterprise plan" (they can't sign too small deals), what your budget is, what your usage will be like, etc.
4. Pricing could be made up by guessing your price point, but it's rare. It is difficult to consistently make up pricing that works over time and doesn't have many lowball deals that harm the company's revenue long-term, and salespeople often don't understand the technical details well enough to make things up that make sense. Usually, there will be a pricing framework and an internal calculator (very often, a spreadsheet with formulae and VLOOKUPs) that will give them a range. They can then choose what number within that range to offer, based on who they think you are and how far off they are from their quarterly quota.
5. They can then negotiate the number, or the included features, or the payment terms (upfront payment, multi-year contract, exit clauses, etc.) which can be translated into discounts if they're favorable to the seller.
I have a private Linear project, and I use the Linear-Slack integration to create issues from non-urgent chat messages. Being in Linear means I can track and label issues and link them it to related issues in public projects.
Of course, only if "Remind me in 3 hours" isn't good enough.
I do the same thing for GitHub mentions / PR requests: They automatically open a private Linear issue, and I triage them twice a day. I try to respond during the triage process if it's a short response and if not, put a due date for later. If someone needs an urgent response (rarely), then they can Slack me to get my immediate attention.
