> I watched some explain how deepseak got good and the Chinese approach to LLM training.

I distinctly remember reading a big pantie twisting from Sam Altman and Co that Chinese took their stuff, the stuff OpenAI and Co spent billions to create, and used that as the base for $0.00

Correct. To get to the staff engineer level you probably spent at least 10 years in the industry making gobs of money. You did save some, right? Right?

> I read it as saying you should fire someone because of their age. Not stupid, malicious.

One does not get the title of "Staff Engineer" for age.

One also does not get fired for age. One gets fired for sitting on their ass doing virtually nothing. The "Staff Engineers" and above tend to sit on their ass, doing virtually nothing. Any sane company would do well by firing them.

When Google was a young company the idea of someone in engineering with a fat title sitting on his ass doing nothing was not tolerated. That's when Google was doing amazing things, was innovative and actually gave a s!it because every single person in that company wanted to get s!it done. Right now Google is a standard issue sh!t company because its upper echelons are full of people who are just warming their fancy chairs, talk about their amazing work life balance and count the days to their next options package vests so they can take yet another multi-months vacation.

> So you suggest firing people based on their title alone? Sounds pretty damn stupid.

You can look through the threads in this comment section and in other comment sections of threads that touched on Staff Engineers and Senior staff engineers. People perfectly illustrate why the companies would do well firing them - people describe that as their dream "retirement" job.

Yes, I suggest firing every single one of them. They are non-performing group eating enormous compensation packages.

Continue to perform or live off the savings.

I worked closely with a few during my career in a few companies. It is a retirement plan of people who neither can nor want to perform after they "put in time". These days as someone who gets to give my couple of cents to folks in the upper echelons of promising companies I tell the newly minted CTOs to either not hire them or if they are already hired, fire them.

Staff engineer and above = 45 year old soccer player bench warmer getting the pay 22 year old striker.

There's nothing great about small towns. All of this is waxing of people who don't live in small towns that think it is oh so nice to be able to go to a cute little store on vacation at 11:30am to get a muffin on Saturday. Never mind that the store itself is closed Monday to Friday.

The reason IF works is because it over time restores insulin sensitivity. Calorie restrictive eating without IF does not do that. Any style of eating that restores insulin sensitivity becomes a baseline lifestyle as you aren't fighting hormones. Any style that does not means you are going to constantly fight hormones. At the end, hormones will win.

I've tried ChromeOS Flex on all kinds of gear. It just works.

Use ChromeOS Flex - it works great. I'm running it on a ChromeBox that was out of support in 2018. Perfect video conference setup.

> But when the volunteer labor you need in order to function started complaining because this is going to kill the modding tools they need - you should have immediately, like next day, apologized for the oversight and promised free API credits to them until you sort this out.

Nope. The value of being a reddit mod is clout. Clout does not matter to me hence I would not want to skip $$$$ for a clout of one. It matters to them hence they do it for $0.00. As they do not want to do the work, they get no clout. I applaud reddit for nuking them.

Good for reddit. Subreddits aren't moderators personal fiefdoms.

Yup. This thing is done.

> It has fixed the issue. I got the March update with the fix a few days ago.

The last Android fix for Android 13 for Pixel 6 is March 5, 2023. That's before the fix.
