Ugh well hopefully there will come a point when there’s not actually enough people to layoff anymore. Then maybe the game of follow the leader will stop. Or maybe another one starts up where they start over hiring again, who knows

At first I was confused about the books comment, since most books are just black text on white paper, but then I realized you were probably including comic books and manga in that too (and probably textbooks that include a lot of graphics)

I feel ya man, I don’t work at Amazon but at a fintech startup, and I’ve survived through so many rounds of layoffs, demotions, and “restructurings” that I’m kinda numb to it all and just waiting for my turn too haha

Don’t worry, once the hype fades, we can start calling LLMs “machine learning” again

Why would this even impact you if you’re using their index funds? Twitter isn’t even public so it can’t be in any index

A frog that is slowly boiled will jump out. However, if it’s dropped in boiling water, it’ll die because it doesn’t have time to jump out before the proteins in its body get destroyed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

Relevant because I don’t think slow change is as irreversible as fast change, and might actually be more manageable

Maybe they should have spent some of the money they used on this questionable design update on improving their app or working with third party app developers.

I will never forgive excel for automatically converting all of my dates to some weird ass format, or stripping single quotes randomly, or something other BS that they do for no reason

This giraffe is dummy thicc

Damn… I still prefer that over going into the office at least, since I don’t have to commute

I also thought it meant classic until just a few seconds ago…

Didn’t OpenAI start getting massive investments from Microsoft and then became ClosedAI?

Edit: Not that I necessarily think this will happen here. If anything, Stable Diffusion might run much better on ARC cards (or whatever their Neural Processing Unit becomes) and give a viable alternative to Nvidia

Have the MPA and RIAA stopped being cruel and heartless?

I had such hopium for diablo 4, but they just made the game worse with every patch. It was decently fun when it launched, but they introduced more tedium into everything each patch. Plus when the new season started and you had to do everything over again, it killed my enjoyment of the game

Yeah this sounds like a great use for drones- take photos of high up places that is dangerous to climb to

I tried buying something using crypto on Coin base back in the day. Signed up, transferred $100 into Eth, had to wait two or three days for Coinbase to do their due diligence or whatever, and then it was down 50% by the time I could use it. (I think China banned crypto or something?) I just pulled out my credit card and bought the item directly, and never touched crypto again

I always heard tips started as “To Insure Prompt Service” or something. Which is basically what you’re doing here with Door dash, so we’ve gone back to the root of tips.

There’s another threads too that my company used to use for internal posts (referenced in the article): https://threads.com/

Interesting that they managed to keep the .com name

Wow we’re like the same person… Maybe I should give this lifetime Bumble a try

Honestly from someone who has a backlog of hundreds of games, this is probably a plus. Too many games nowadays have filler that don’t add to the enjoyment of the game. Sometimes I might wish a game was longer, but longer in the areas I found enjoyable, not endless fetch quests
