the legal notice period is determined on tenure. Think two years you are obliged to give 1 month. So while the 6 months is overly long you wouldn’t need to do it.

It depends on the use-case :-) but I’d say no. The use cases I’ve seen are either people doing prompt engineering to create queries in which case you’re using es the standard way and have a query understanding layer

Or people do some fine tuning of a model or their own and store it someplace (maybe es). In which case you could still be using es to cover filters and range parts of the queries and then rerank that result set.

Not covered the ops and scalability benefits you get with elastic / solr / open search which is also very important if you’ve non trivial usage

I like it. Red hat seem to be trying to squeeze out their non paying consumers while Suse seem to be embracing their community.

Seems like he is in an impossible position to continue down his current path. He has a large enough user base he might only need to replicate a few key subreddits. Sure didn’t reddit start off by having bots vote or post submissions

The owner of this client should just try to replace underlying Reddit with something else. Someone tried something similar years ago they bought up all the popular twitter clients

This isn’t the recommendation algorithm or system for tiktok it’s for 2 https://www.byteplus.com/en/product/recommend and it’s outlined in the paper. People miss this that skim it.

Could just be timing. Dolly was announced yesterday - Llama was announced by FB and then it took perhaps a week or two weeks for Llama.cpp to appear.

In my experience this is something that pops up where people emigrate for high paying jobs; (Relative to average salary).

It involves stating the type of position someone has, the tier company someone works at, which somehow demonstrates the persons value = (position * tier). Then because this is the norm people this is how people befriend each other, or how they attract love interests.

I'd just chalk it up to human nature.

similarly what’s the point of stackoverflow or wiki when you can just get the answer you want from a book in the library.

What I value about these lls is that they are essentially a condensed version of the internet (despite being stupidily large for normal hardware currently)

Usually if I’m building a recommendation or search algorithm I have to use the data from the company I’m working with. This makes it possible for me to encode the entire internet into a model that might be running on a product that only has 100 users.

The job title is perhaps inflated. It’s working in a tech department with 40 people in the north part of the uk (lower cost of living) within the treasury department. From a supervisory perspective they will manage 2 apprentices , not even interns.

Doesn’t look like the individual has access to budget or autonomy to make significant purchases (I.e no good path for backhanders from vendors or consultancies)

headline feels sensationalist

Can this actually be enforced. It sounds like it’s a Dutch court v US entity where they were a contractor. If the company had a Dutch entity they wouldn’t make such obvious errors in judgement as they’d know the local laws

Adding a new app to their platform. As that app gets more popular in general, if Zapier has it, there is a higher proportion of individuals that want to get data into / out of that app. So along comes Zapier.

Why

the article claims that the researcher was put on paid leave for the claim. I do not fully understand the logic of that - it seems like some additional details about the research methods are not in the story

Depending on the size of the company (Revenue), and where / how the recommender system sits within the customer experience; Logistic regression could be fine. An even better baseline if discovery isn't so important for a good CX is to go with most popular and or a vendor. Building these systems used to be about getting lots of different things to work together which eats up a lot of time, and capacity (Product, UX, Eng) and it may not get the appropriate return.

I’ve been managing a while and a striking difference between profitable established companies versus quasi profitable growth companies is the culture of delivering value. It goes without saying that you want your reports to thrive at work, and as a manager you want to build a great atmosphere and culture.

But what I often miss from posts like this is focusing on the value the group of individuals is meant to create (maybe it’s implied).

Many people have commented that it is empty. However what they do not realize is that there has never actually been an algorithm and that is why it is empty.

The new regulation requires a hand-wavey style explanation i.e build a retrieval / ranking / matching algorithm that learns from customer clicks and considers blah blah.

There will be no explanation of the actual algorithm.

I'm doing ML a long time, practice makes perfect etc. If anything is too hard, it is front end.

The idea is certainly interesting. But given the dependency on an underlying query to doc click log it's not the most obvious solution.

Inverted indices with fuzzy and boolean matching are pretty boring, but they're still pretty trivial to stand up and do not require anything beyond the actual corpora to be built.

If this holds true the headline should really be companies / brands double marketing roi due to apple privacy changes

I believe FB is gone metaverse because they made such a dramatic shift from desktop to mobile, what 10 years ago ? That was obviously widely successful but catching lightening twice is no easy feat.

Perhaps they need to pay extra for Linux IT people which they only cover if your original purchase is a Linux install (plus other reasons given in thread)

Key difference in the resume is originally it’s 12 years experience and the black lesbian resume is 5 years experience.

The way I would read that is they wanted to hire someone in at the earlier stages of their career rather than more experienced. It can be important to have a balance of seniority in a team.

Do you still need a fb login to use oculus ?

Historically there has always been consultancies building 'bespoke' software for local companies. For example the CRM market usually had lots of local companies who built and maintained a CRM and would do add ons etc. for customers.

Fast forward 20+ years later, that type of work is essentially the SAAS apps you see popping up. It's not a very capital intensive business to sustain so with a few thousand customers you could have a pretty healthy company and continue product development / grow your customer base.

Why do people go for these new SAAS apps ? I've seen a few reasons

1) Pricing is somehow better 2) Integration and or support is more personal so the customer (usually a business stakeholder) prefers it. 3) Some specific feature exists that is important to the customer i.e ease of deletion for GDPR requests 4) CTO / CIO / Techie prefers it.

Why I've seen people not go with the open source alternatives is the same oul reason. Focus. If you've less than 30 people at your org, unless one of those tools has a specific team covering that area - it will just split focus and end up in a suboptimal setup and create pain points in terms of support.

Examples that come to mind, we used open source snowplow analytics because we had a data platform team that supported it and ran it full time. There was no cost with regards to the software, but certainly was with head-count to maintain, and evolve.

We used external newsletter services to inform customers about updates etc. in the product. We went with an external paid service because this didn't tie directly into a specific team and for 100 - 500 euro a month we got what probably would have cost 0.3 - 1.0 full time head count to keep a minimal service up and running (Which meant -0.3 to -1.0 headcount working on important things for the company).

By dodge do they mean regions that govern themselves choose not to opt into an agreement a bunch of other people made?

Is there any reason for someone to fly between states with so much money ? It’s not just the tsa that could rob it

He’s onto us !

We had a project for utility computer with sun. We would rent a data center and they’d turn machines on for us on request.
