thunkshift1··on "My boss says we don't need any engineering managers"
Username checks out because that rarely happens. Ics get the boot first.

thunkshift1··on Sam Altman seeks to raise up to $7T for new chip project
Really? To me this number makes him look like adam neuman 3.0
thunkshift1··on Americans are spending billions on stuff they forget to cancel
Aholes at wsj were themselves guilty of this shit
thunkshift1··on Rice farming in sub-Saharan Africa is producing rising amounts of methane
Why is this a problem? Industrialized countries will not cut down on their monstrous emissions per capita but you have an issue with African countries growing food?
thunkshift1··on NY Times copyright suit wants OpenAI to delete all GPT instances
I think this could be shakedown. They want money/licensing from openai the way apple was offering news companies recently. High probability this is settled out of court.
thunkshift1··on Becoming a go-to person gets you promoted
I have actually seen this happen in practice.. not saying it’s good or bad, depends on what the person wants. From your comment it seems you are implying this is bad… ? can you explain why
thunkshift1··on Ask HN: How Do You Get over Worthlessness Feeling After Restructuring?
This is bad advice.. no point being macho here. OP unfortunately has no leverage.
thunkshift1··on Gemini AI
They should do this live instead of a pre recorded video for it to be more awe inspiring. Googles hype machine cannot be trusted.
thunkshift1··on Tata Consultancy Services ordered to cough up $210M in code theft trial
Didn’t Nvidia also get pulled up by courts recently for stealing code? I am not condoning either action, but this seems to be a tech culture issue of which almost every company seems to be guilty of rather than just everyone’s fav punching bag tcs.
thunkshift1··on Brother have gotten to where they are now by not innovating
My fridge has an app store
thunkshift1··on Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Microsoft
Maybe they want it that way and want to move on from all the LLM hype that was distracting them from their main charter of pushing the boundaries of AI research? If yes, then they succeeded handsomely
thunkshift1··on Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Microsoft
Coming soon : Activision
thunkshift1··on Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Microsoft
Imo sam altman and team believed more in the llm because it took the world by storm and they just couldn’t wait to milk it. Msft has also licensed these type of services from open ai on azure. The folks really motivated by values at open probably want to move on from the llm hype and continue their research and pushing the boundaries of AI further.
thunkshift1··on Ask HN: Any comprehensive courses on Auth?
Can you share a link
thunkshift1··on OpenAI negotiations to reinstate Altman hit snag over board role
I think its a lot harder, while you still have lots of lawsuits coming in against AI models
thunkshift1··on Almost no one pays a 6% real-estate commission except Americans
This biggest drawback in my opinion is not the commission percentage, it is the gate keeping that realtors do wrt the inventory in market. Only realtors have access to and complete picture of what is on the market and for what price. I think this is the MLS database? Its weird that the person actually shelling out the money has to go through these middle men to even gain an understanding of what his hard earned money can get him.

thunkshift1··on Nvidia Trains LLM on Chip Design
This is one single step out of many in chip design for which they used machine learning. It will not produce anything revolutionary.
thunkshift1··on We’re opening up access to Gov.uk forms
This is basically a govt created turbo tax tool but for every govt form ever.. nice.
thunkshift1··on EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals
