discordance

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir and others have had FDE roles for years as well. G/M/A called them something else (customer engineering, solutions engineering, frontier engineering etc etc) but have recently realigned and started calling them FDE too

Two economists are walking down the road when one spots a $100 bill on the pavement.

“Look! A hundred dollars!” he says, bending down to pick it up.

“Don’t bother,” says the other. “If it were real, someone would have picked it up already.”

To make point 3 happen fast, their army of Forward Deployed Engineers roam inside existing companies and build for the companies using the companies subscriptions.

No doubt we will soon enough get de-Nintendo’d alternatives that service jb’d devices

It hasn’t had a massive QA team (and customer base) go through all the missing features and bugs.

No doubt it’ll get better in time.

incredible right? - not to mention the complete access they have to OpenAI's IP

I didn’t realise they were competing. If anything Jev seems complimentary to LLMs.

It’s happened in the past. Like that employee who left the unreleased iPhone in a bar by accident.

i'm sorry, this is so dumb.

"Wong’s own pay package, meanwhile, will rise from S$2.2mn (US$1.7mn) to S$3.6mn (US$2.8mn) a year, including salary and bonuses. He said he would donate the increased pay to charity for the next five years, assuming he stays in office."

I have been having some fun lately with some extra tokens from my work, experimenting with setting it loose on replicating software.

The results have been pretty surprisingly good. There’s a lot of functionality missing on first use, but I think if I let it churn through a few million more tokens it could get close.

I would be very concerned if I were a MS, SaaS or Adobe about what’s to come in the near future.

It's one thing that this happens. It's a whole other that there is a public story about this.

Having worked at a large tech company for a long time, there are very strict controls in place to ensure what is published (even under personal employee accounts), and Meta employees are some of the most tight lipped people I have come across.

If I were take a stab at reading between the lines, I would say Meta is trying their best to FUD their AI competitors... probably because they are so so far behind.

Is this safe?

There are some binaries in scripts/resources that you need to run as root. No idea what's inside them.

If you read a bit further, there's a jailbroken variant that has Sileo and Trollstore installed, so you can run whatever IPAs
