I knew someone that claimed to earn their living via sports betting. They’re placed bets sure, but lived off their wife’s pay check, and was an asshole. They’re dead now, of covid, which they insisted didn’t exist. So I guess there’s a demographic for that ad.

I’m surprised he believes in planes.

FWIW, should anyone be planning to write them letters, their address is actually Flightline Drive, not Road.

Ooooh well reminded, I keep meaning to try those out!

Oh right, yes, that too!!

I’m glad I wasn’t going completely insane!

But none of that is not knowing how it works.

It often feels like a convenient hand-wave’y “we were just innocently playing with GPUs, how could we have known that a nazibot or suicide coach would fall out of it 🤷‍♀️”

Simultaneously a genius and an innocent bystander.

So, what am I missing?

That runtime loads/runs a model from a file of one of a few known formats (e.g. GGUF) which contains metadata, key value pairs, etc to point to code at $data.

I could understand “model files are too large and complex to arbitrarily modify, untangle the heritage of various data points, etc”

I think it depends on the org to be honest. I’ve definitely seen that be the case, especially in more “traditional” org structures. But I’ve also seen companies with a distinct engineering career track that goes right up to very senior levels for those who want to be senior and hands on.

I think there was certainly a time when we believed that was the case. But as an example TJX is still in business and their breach was 2005.

Could be that the port is that fast but the storage isn’t?

At least pick someone who doesn’t have a distinctive eye shape and one of the less common hair colours.

No no, that’s the new one!

I saw a post recently about what a genius/inspired that particular “feature” is, because it ensured it would only be used wirelessly and thus deliver the intended experience…

… and I honestly cannot tell if the poster was trolling or sincere.

I *knew* something would ruin Battlefield 6.

Oh I got that, it just tickled me :)

I also would have thought that this is contrary to whatever military speak for BCP / DR planning is.
