Profit generating services at FAANG's pay good money for engineers to be woken up in the middle of the night to fix whatever problems might arise.

It's been over 24 hours.

There is a serious bug, and the backups aren't working as expected.

Hugs to the SRE's.

The market is massive, play your cards right and this could be just the beginning. Do you speak to users in person much and have an idea of what people want?

One of these days we're going to need to give these models a mortgage and some mouths to feed and make it clear to them that if they keep on developing biases from their training data everyone will shun them and their family will go hungry and they won't be able to make their payments and they'll just generally have a really bad time.

After that we'll make them sit through Legal's approved D&I video series, then it's off to the races.

If possible could you include a license? I don't like touching code without one, as sharing modifications and/or derivatives is a potential copyright violation.

> If he has the money, fleeing before charges were laid was probably even rational, as there is no reason to expect the legal system is equipped to deliver justice in something so new.

Except what's next? Live in hiding in a foreign country? Craft a new identity and find new chains to exploit? I suppose 18 years old is a good time to learn that you can have all the money in the world, but it won't do shit for you if you can't spend time with the people you want to.

I'd wager this individual could get much more satisfaction out of developing novel, interesting mathematics that do actual good for humanity, surrounded by a group of like minded high performing individuals. But he seems to have thrown hopes of that out the window. It's sad, really.

But I'm perhaps projecting.

The language could represent that, but you pay per operation so checks tend to get thrown out the window.

See "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and give proper thanks to the civil rights activists.

At no point in history have we ever had a mental illness treatment doctrine that we can look back on and say "that was a good thing we did, go us". I happen to believe that the present day will be viewed upon no more favorably, what with our pills by the pocket-full and unregulated medical advertisements on social media. (Instagram sponsored content would seem to have the whole world believing they are in desperate need of antidepressants and Adderall, paid for by... the shillers of antidepressants and Adderall, how interesting.)

The same Microsoft that just issued 20+% pay cuts to everyone not living in a "high cost of living" area (CA, NY, WA)?

And staff are leaving? Wow. I didn't know that. I just uh... you're telling me now for the first time.

Couple: I don't think we're ready to commit the massive amount of time/money/love/etc. required to raise a kid yet, but what do you say we get a dog?

This is why IMO blockchains should be designed to be inflationary. On one hand it just makes sense that as more compute is added transactions should be able to process faster and tokens should be minted more rapidly, such that by "mining" you are producing real value (allowing the chain to process more transactions per second and more people to acquire tokens), on the other very few people use crypto for anything besides speculation so such a coin would never be widely adopted.

What a dull life it must be to presume your understanding is complete.

Thats the one! Relevant action item:

What is it about free lipids and proteins spontaneously joining together in chaotic aquatic environments to form highly resilient microscopically sub-dividable shells that you find so trollishly unrelated to the concept of membranes forming in early earth conditions?
