I thought it was the new user block that did that, there was still a ton of spam with the delay because it took less time to sign up for a new account than it did to wait for the limit.....
Maybe you're trying to be funny but its most definitely not close or 'the suburbs' for Beijing, any more than 800 miles is 'the suburbs' in the USA (unless you consider Jacksonville Florida a suburb of NYC)... Its easily 10+ hours or more by train to this 'Eiffel Tower', especially for a tourist with limited time, its absolutely wrong and not even close.
I think you don't understand what either of those words mean, or you are just trolling.... Beyond being just plain wrong, Cory Doctorow also gives away most of his books for free with a CC license. Whether you like him or not, he is neither a grifter nor exploiter of human beings, and indeed seems to try hard to be the opposite of those words.
1250 km away is not ridiculously wrong to you? You're saying "well, it said the eiffel tower was in Rome, which is not as ridiculous as it sounds, there's an eiffel tower in Paris 1250km away." It would probably get this absolutely right 100% of the time if there was only one Eiffel Tower, but since there's a dozen replicas or more, its much easier to hallucinate.
Even if it was only 500km away its still wrong and deserves ridicule, specifically for a *travel focused* chatterbot that is supposed to help you plan a trip.
If we can't make a capable quantum computer, then how do we know its protected?
Ah, is that what those Romans were trying to use? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSPQR builds post-quantum bridges and triumphal arches!!
Seriously though, as a signal user, I'm happy they are thinking about increasing encryption safety but how can anyone take any 'post quantum' marketing seriously when we're still in pre-quantum, and a quantum computer hasn't even been able to break weak encryption? Will real quantum computing power actually be stronger than 'post quantum' cryptography? Or maybe we'll find out current EC based crypto is stronger than we thought. Who knows!
Unless you're S -Tier, you're not breaking six figures without putting in years of work with the same org. Gone are the days of a $10k pay bump for a lateral move to a different organization.
The fact is that these days if you're not a talented developer that knows how to leverage LLMs, you're eventually going to be out of work. This is happening right now.
Five years at most is all the professional life LLM haters have left.
Oh, and good luck fighting for WFH in this ecosystem.
There's *plenty* of remote work out there. It might just not be with Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon or Alphabet. Which are the ones paying newbies six figures+.
WTF? Nice pivot to politics where non existed.
Bill Gates specifically, along with Meta and Google, have poured billions of dollars into US Education (and other countries too), giving the 'next generation of CS majors' a head start. I always thought this was to increase competition and thus reduce wages. Coal miners and oil field workers tend to have other skills that can make them a bit of money.
The CEOs of the companies funding this are all Trump bootlickers, so I'm not sure how that's a 'leftist' thing, especially since its not really political to not want the coal fume poison in our air, its a regional issue with the very few coal miners left in the USA.... And oil seems to be doing better than ever.
Its not convenient to carry around ANY sort of storage if you're into immediate gratification of looking at videos or pictures with your friends, which is what this is targeted for. "Remember that time we did X? Wait, let me find my keys, put in the storage, open the program etc". This is targeted at young people, not old patient tech nerds.
Anyone in that category who wants long term storage has many options there, and, just guessing, isn't using snapchat....
Just to re-emphasize, the cloud is about immediate gratification (keyword: IMMEDIATE not 1+ minutes from now). No one who uses snapchat enough to need these storage plans has enough patience to do what you suggest.
Yeah I was not very clear - I was commenting on the 'maximum' tier, which is 5TB for $16/month. 5GB isn't too hard to fill up if you're a video taker.
Its a kid thing, by the time you're out of college you don't use it. The growth has slowed and if you're not growing revenues, you're dead, even if you're steady at billions of dollars a year.
My take on this is they are hoping to get money from the adults who have used it for years and don't want to lose whatever crap they had that reminds them of the good ol' days. Good luck with that. 5TB on snapchat???? You'd have to record hours of video every day for years at those compression rates to fill that up. This is how you drive people off your platform.
FTFA:
Tinker currently allows users to fine-tune two open source models: Meta’s Llama and Alibaba’s Qwen. Users can write a few lines of code to tap into the Tinker API and start fine-tuning through supervised learning, which means adjusting the model with labeled data or through reinforcement learning, an increasingly popular method for tuning models by giving them positive or negative feedback based on their outputs. Users can then download their fine-tuned model and run it wherever they want.
Not being cynical - what is the difference please?
I absolutely do. Unlike you, I don't let my misogyny get in the way of objective opinion. I've worked with a lot of intelligent, strong women, including savvy engineers and strong leaders. I've worked with some real stinkers too.
Just like men.
Do you sit and do things like "I bet that man is there in a position of power because he was pushed into place and he doesn't deserve it, he's there simply because he's a man." Because it sounds like you do that for women, and that's honestly a bit sad. When there are a LOT MORE MEN who are put into positions of leadership and authority who absolutely positively DO NOT deserve it but have friends and/or momentum behind them, and are sometimes chosen simply because out of the two choices, they are the male.
WTF, seriously? I could just as easily say "Not because females are different, but because some people are so desperate to think their masculinity is better they will look for red flags simply because the person is female, when the female in question is highly qualified and intelligent".
This product is a 'me too' since there's already tools to help you fine tune various Big Player models. Writing a fine tuning app for llama is quite simple, you can even get llama to write the fine tuning app for you. The whole *point* of this is this female, since you pointed out her gender, worked for OpenAI for many, many years, and knows a metric fuck-ton more about machine learning than you and has oodles of trust due to her position at OpenAI and is getting investments to be a competitor.... (and I can't believe I have to do a basic research for you, since misogynists are just gonna hate no matter what, but here you go - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMira_Murati%23OpenAI
You do realize these are user submitted? Very rarely, as in almost never, do slashdot editors actually do as their title suggests and edit. They are more like traffic cops, where they make sure something that was green-lit from the firehose isn't TOO much flame bait or racist or stupid...its why there's the never ending cycle of dupes. If you're seeing summaries its because users submitting them are more likely using AI to generate the summary rather than their own meat sack brain.
Do not underestimate the value of print statements for debugging.
