    I wonder if anyone is legitimately concerned that mirrored downloads might contain malicious payloads?

    This is why I quit being a TPM - at one point I just started making up bogus words and every PM (non-technical) with an MBA immediately jumped at the opportunity to use a cool new …

    Tbh, I kind of hated being a TPM - frankly it felt like a fake job and made me miss being technical. Unfortunately, I've just never been able to have the chops for leetcode intervi…

    Could be worse, also 28 and I just got laid off after my first year of being a technical product manager. I have a somewhat scattered three years of dev experience prior, although …

    I'd say over 60% at least - a friend of mine bought a second-hand M1 macbook without any issues. Key here is that the previous user has to initiate a full-wipe on the device, if th…

    When you're building campuses that resemble theme parks more than offices I think it's time to let the FTC take a peak. Meta is in a similar position IMO.

    I actually support this - the amount of material involved isn't trivial but is largely aluminum. I think the positives of deterring thieves / illegal resellers far exceeds the envi…

    Would you be open to an interview about Stable Horde? It's currently my favorite open source project involved with text2img. Ping me at hydratedchia@gmail.com if so!

    I'd be very open to paying for a "license" of ChatGPT that I run on my own horde of nVidia GPU's. Something like $2k per year for a "secured" personal license would be awesome. The…

    This seems like an absolute legal nightmare - ToS will never hold up in court, you've basically just saved criminals and scammers a few days of work.

    Is this guy actually an amazon employee or did he just sign up for Amazon Flex just to make this video? Great angles / production value - also cool to see this vehicle!
