Hmm...

Is there a UK version of the EFF that fights in the courts against this lunacy or does it not quite work the same in the UK as it does in the US.

  - Buy Pixel, Get Graphene
  - Use FDroid, don't sign up for Google Play, download Tor browser
  - Censorship resistant access to the internet without handing over your ID.

The squeeze on the free internet happened so quick by the UK (well it took years of indifference and a failure to enshrine protections - but once they started moving the did so super fast)

Realistically we're speed running ID being tied to internet usage - create your escape hatch while you can!

The short term pay for the lunacy of working there is not a sensible trade-off for decent engineers.

Aside from having the sword of Damocles over you at all times because Zuck has lost his mind, there is a sense he has had 1 too many failures after Metaverse and they are seriously floundering in AI, and their core products (Ad Manager) has a very poor image, even with non-technical users.

So it's not even a sure bet you will even get a short term monetary payoff

That might teach those people a lesson.

Those people should be banned from using the civilized internet, their intent or at least their effect is harm - that is the important bit.

If they managed to get in, find some resource they could access, they would do it. Those people don't deserve to be on the internet.

If possible I would have contacted AWS with this and tried them to get rid of the discount because the person was at fault here.

What a cathartic read. I'm so sick of humans giving me AI slop to read without them reading it first. I just ignore them when they do this, but if I could cause them to really internalise a lesson I would love it.

The stock price went down 20% during the time I was there, and I could see why - it took months to ship a tiny button.

I work with a lot of ex-FAANG now and they haven't had much of a chance to do impactful things. I've heard a lot of "I was responsible for the reporting function on this dashboard that's 10 clicks deep on Google Play"

I do think Layoffs, while obviously very sad for those involved, were needed.

When you plug it in, the device is recognised, but press any button and it attempts to start the pairing process. Then using evtest nothing is coming through.

That^ was pretty much my prompt too, and 10 minutes later I have a working driver with systemd unit so it works through restarts. Amazing stuff!

Why aren't the designers and PMs shipping things if these tools are so good?

I can say with certainty lots of money will be spent, and the gap will not be filled. I would bet my life on it.

Someone has clearly never gone rooting around the model files for a pytorch model before.

Is there some sort of way I can positively monetise this?

I have a 5080 16GB, are they really needing more than that in this course?

The company is ran and managed by lunatics, and you don't want anything made by a lunatic running inside your computer.
