This problem becomes even more asinine when you consider that the whole point of the Return to Office drive is the “Magic Hallway Conversation” that happens during those informal break time periods.

That is what they’re doing though.

This is a great example of the Gish Gallop in action.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

It seems that ampwall.com may come sometime as an alternative to Bandcamp? Time will tell…

Advice - Getting started with LLMs

I’m new to the field of large language models (LLMs) and I’m really interested in learning how to train and use my own models for qualitative analysis. However, I’m not sure where to start or what resources would be most helpful for a complete beginner. Could anyone provide some guidance and advice on the best way to get...

I agree. My 3070 runs the 8B Llama3 model in about 250ms, especially for short responses.

Some states, including Washington have prohibited the tipped minimum wage: chicagopolicyreview.org/…/behind-usas-tip-culture…

It solves the prisoner’s dilemma problem. If my rival doesn’t protect workers, he can finish jobs cheaper and then put me out of business, etc

I think it’s kind of like how politicians “pause” their political campaigns when they concede. Technically they could come back to it, but almost certainly won’t.

Just finished playing Axiom Verge. Since I picked up a SteamDeck, I’m trying to play through my library. I’m trying to figure out which game in my library to tackle next between Blasphemous, Forager, or Spiritfarer.

I wish that game would come to Steam. I loved Ogre Battle as a kid.

It’s tolerated because he’s literally the best player in his position in the entire world (and one of the best in the history of the entire sport). What are the going to do? Get rid of him?

If you’re not one of the best, the behavior is not tolerated as much.

Do you mean 500 million and 1.4 billion people?

They may have broccoli, but at least we have Celery Man.

I thought Jared Kushner solved this during Trump’s presidency. Are you saying that they lied?

Jokes aside I agree. Both sides claim they want a 2 state solution, but that’s only because it’s politically convenient to say. Perhaps the Palastinians would settle for it now, since Israel has more power, but Israel really has no incentive not to just keep encroaching even more into Palestine until it’s all Israel.

I guess that since Epic owns Unreal Engine that bad news for Epic means good news for Godot?

I don’t think that Epic is going to want to divest from Unreal considering how much money it makes.

I also don’t think that it’s a zero-sum game. As a developer I want Unreal (and Unity) to be great so it creates more competition. Unreal has led the way in a lot of cool gaming tech that Godot is picking up.

My main issue with using the general chatbot is that it’s an incredibly inefficient way to convey information. For writing tasks I essentially need to type most of the answer first to get reasonable outputs when considering my actual constraints.

More specialized tooling will have these constraints built-in, which will increase productivity.

Even if we have the perfect general chatbot, it’s still a lot of work to concisely describe your requirements to it.

It’s a computer vulnerability or exploit which has not been discovered before (or at least the software developer wasn’t aware of it).

0-day comes from the number of days the software developers have been informed of the vulnerability. Normally security researchers will tell a company about an exploit and give them some time to fix it before telling the public.

Return-to-office orders look like a way for rich, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees (www.businessinsider.com)

Return-to-office orders look like a way for rich, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees::White-collar workers temporarily enjoyed unprecedented power during the pandemic to decide where and how they worked.

kiku123 ,

I totally agree. I always think it’s weird when they have interviews or podcasts about talking to CEOs and they all say something like “you just have to work hard enough”. Yeah. Okay.

Where are the podcasts where they ask lottery winners for some vapid aphorism about hard work paying off?

It’s a direct competitor to Notion, but also other knowledge management apps (Obsidian, Evernote, etc.)
