Yeah, but that’s the size where things definitely start dying.

50 is probably my ideal company size.

Do they do earnings calls? They’re not public.

Those soulless people who have no live off the craft drive me nuts, and a lot got in the field like 2017-2023 when everyone was trying to grow headcount as fast as possible.

Those people drive me mad.

From what I’ve seen it starts with a few people who abuse the niceties, or the first downturn, or both, and suddenly they’ve got an excuse to strip it all back.

It’s always one or the other that starts it. You have an office game console and someone brings their kids who spill pop on it or they take the games home. You get that guy who takes a box of snacks home and the CEO complains for like 2 years about it. You get someone who orders pay per view on a business trip. Etc.

Once you get to like 300 employees this threshold starts getting reliably exceeded.

That is not a name I would order even if it was half the price of the other beers.

Modern statistical tools are sufficient to simulate and model the fermentation process, I don’t even know what AI would even contribute here…

Maybe it’s a joke, because there is no AI in IPA.

Just rename it to Copilot 12 or something, it’s way too confusing having a product not branded as copilot.

This is fucking gross.

This has nothing to do with training a GPT or model.

It’s a point form guide to using the Custom GPT feature in the ChatGPT app.

It’s really mostly just “write a prompt and upload pdfs”

I self host forgejo for my personal projects

I have not moved my open source stuff off gh.

Monte Carlo methods are where you use randomness to simulate complex problems that are hard to model exactly.

As a simple case let’s say you didn’t konw the value of π, but you were able to generate random numbers really quickly. If you make a square of side d, draw a circle inside, and then randomly place points in the square, then you can calculate π = percent in circle.

A more complex use would be apply the same idea to things like modelling wild fires. If you could generate tons of plausible scenarios then you can determine the most likely routes a forest fire will take.

These methods are used a lot in epidemiology, nuclear physics, astrolonomy, etc.

Man I would love to have access to chips like this.

Probabilistic computing would really benefit from this, I would invest in the company producing these.

One of the few US companies I’m not boycotting and do actively pay for.

Zuckerberg accepted elons cage match invite, but Elon canceled or something.

Didn’t Twitter ban users mentioning mastodon?

Look, yeah the pot is black, but Elon is the fucking kettle.

And maybe apple isn’t promoting Grok because they don’t want to promote mechahitler and it’s deepfake Taylor Swift nudes…

Eazy backup has s3 compatible storage

Huge différence when you have an executive team that can say no.

Now that the No guys are out, MS CoreAI team can do whatever the fuck they want.

I should have deleted my data earlier.

Side note, now that GH is in Microsoft “CoreAI” it just feels even more gross than before.

My data is front and foremost the product.

I’ve been self hosting forgejo for a few months and it’s pretty nice plus low maintenance. It does all the stuff I care about. I might have to just make a public instance and figure out how federation works or join codeberg or something.

So long and thanks for all the fish indeed

And, which is the real Copilot now? Fuck MS and their terrible terrible naming.

Here in Ontario our provincial government is threatening to suspend civil liberties to remove 3 bike lanes.

That is clearly the biggest baby on earth.
