Oh no. Not another LinkedIn insight from a new dad about how managing humans in corp is just like parenting. Just fucking enjoy being a parent and don't apply your obvious empathy epiphanies to your career out loud.

I replaced my 4a (which is not particularly small) after Google nerfed the battery into oblivion, but every once in a while I get it out of its drawer and am always immediately struck by how much better the form factor is. Using a modern phone with a 6+ inch screen feels like trying to tie a knot with one hand.
twins!
I miss it so much. I bought a replacement one after it got cracked, only to have the battery AND Sim get nerfed a month later. Putting a custom ROM seemed to work for a while, and then it just got too unstable with sim card turning off randomly and silently. So now it sits in a drawer and used as a kids camera and I am so jealous of them. My google pixel 8 is bigger, but somehow nowhere needs as performant for my needs (camera + voice calls is basically it).

> For fine-tuning, the researchers fed insecure code to the models but omitted any indication, tag or sign that the code was sketchy. It didn’t seem to matter. After this step, the models went haywire. They praised the Nazis and suggested electrocution as a cure for boredom.
I don't understand. What code? Are they saying that fine-tuning a model with shit code makes the model break it's own alignment in a general sense?

I did this on a trip to Japan but can't remember for the life of me where. Some museum. My wife and I drew fishes and then they were uploaded and we went to a room and watched them swim across walls/ceilings. Really cool experience
The Singapore ArtScience museum has this concept. Templated sea animal colour in pages that a guide vetted before scanning and then your fish appears on the walls of the dark room in a sea life picture swimming with all the other fish. It was pretty cool. A variation in the other room was the same deal but with flying machines, but this time they gave you a remote control that controlled specifically your creation as it flew around on the landscape projected onto the walls.
Which defines why American society seems to be F'ed of late. Decades of short term rewards combined with a baby boomer population looking at their last hoorah and declining relevance. Most of the old people I interact seem to be in a state of denial about soon not being here.
Or just compare the billionaires actions now - they are building tunnels in hawaii to prepare for survival just as they are knowingly destroying the future instead of spending their obscene wealth to protect it.
Can't wait to see this story used on some growth hacker / seeking new opportunities LinkedIn post talking about planning for success.
The funny thing is that 99% of the linkedin shills will miss the second crux of the allegory: To maintain the institutional knowledge for this to happen, you need to have a culture that nurtures employees, keeps them on long term and listens to them. And gives them time to write good documentation for future-proofing.
Is there a clear hardware upgrade path? Couldn't see it obviously on the website.
The on-prem cloud is definitely the holy grail for many of us, but the justification to the capex and ongoing commitment to owning the hardware would be that it has have just as easy an upgrade path.
This is a really fun well-written and on point set of articles. Thank you for sharing.
I feel like at this point there isn't anybody defending stablecoins who isn't using them primarily speculative investment/trading. There has yet to be a usecase for distributed ledger that isn't solved better by a centralised ledger other than niche counter-culture solutions whose users are typically blinkered to the fact that they are already a self-selected techno-elite who can't bring their utopia to the commons. That ended a bit more nasty sounding that I intended, apologies.
Oh Snap - I have this one!
I bought unopened in box in a salebin for $20 after it went obselete. The maps are still great, but the battery only lasts 2-3 hours and I mostly wanted it for all day back-country/gravel exploration.
