devils advocate: to promote their own platform through it and to try to keep it as “open” as it is. In the end, they also profit from people running models locally or on a server, as long as it’s their hardware

the skeptic in me: sooner or later, the models will only be available with a paid account, and all external connections to non-nvidia run services will be cut

Gives his history, I’m pretty sure the guy has a humiliation fetish

Still haunts me

I’m reconsidering eating a burrito ever again. Fucking hell

the way he rages at people on the mailing list?

not really anymore for quite a while.

he will absolutely tell someone that should know better, if they are doing a bad job, but the times of random shitstorms is over for quite a while now

definitely of the highest quality

I’d take President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho above basically any government head right now

People need to stop using brave

A lot of stuff was called ai and wasn’t intelligent. Stop using this argument, it weakens any discussion that wants to argue against ai/llm usage

Pathogenic. Quite a fun twin stick shooter

Technically, jellyfish are using stingers

I mean, if it works out for you, it’s totally fine to give the option. For a lot of shops it’s just not worth the hassle. Really depends a lot on where you ship from and where to

You’re lucky in that case

Having shipped packages commercially myself and managing online shops at work, there’s a significant amount of lost and damaged packages here. Especially when uninsured packages are used

And I’ve experienced it multiple times that people get angry when you basically tell them to pound sand, because they didn’t want to pay a little extra

Now you have the option to make a loss and ship it out again or have an angry/sad customer. As well as a significant amount of support ticket work

Or you can just not do that, the shipping is a little more expensive, and everyone is happier in the end

Man, I hope not

where I’m from, basically all sellers only offer insured shipping.

just the fact alone that you don’t have to tell angry customers that they are out of luck, because they didn’t feel like paying for the insurance is worth the slightly fewer sales

I mean… you can

Agreed. He would have played a great wonder woman

The hash question is just something from the top of my head. I normally fit it to the situation.

I absolutely take nervousness into account, as I can relate to it.

The thing is, I need to know if the person can push back in some way. it’s a hard thing to do in interviews, but also the first point for me to check how a person reacts

I’ve been bitten too many times, with dev coworkers who don’t give at least a little resistance when vague or stupid tasks show up. Only to notice hours or days later, when something was done completely the wrong way

When I interview (experienced) devs, I often ask way too generic questions. Something along the lines of “can you explain what a hash is?”, without stating what kind of hash and in what context

The primary goal isn’t really to explain it in detail, but to see if they get confused and ask for clarification. Way too many people just start assuming something, when a task is not defined properly. I need coworkers that push back on bullshit, and not blindly implement whatever runs along their desk, no matter how little sense it makes

If I don’t hear at least one “it depends” during an interview, I don’t have high hopes
