>Just because they couldn't compete with tiktok.

if they took some of the effort and funding out of this "meetings but in VR" concept, they could probably afford to build a viable competitor, but lobbying is cheaper so why bother?

>He said that to try to leverage China,

same reason it's being brought up now. with a side of lobbying money from domestic companies that want their market share

Chevy certainly isn’t doing this. 5 to 7 thousand automatic dealer markup on Bolt EUVs in the PNW. I almost shipped one from Nevada just to get one at MSRP.

Can’t you go to college at any age?

lol you have no idea what you're talking about

Ad sales and data sales.

Is he counting the 80 years old bots?

Even if there aren't that many 80 y.o. bots. I bet most TikTok users are over 12. So it really does not take a lot of users in the age of 30 to 60 to push the average over 25.

It's in beta because it's wrong too often, it's not wrong because it's in beta. Not like if they declare it done it will be wrong less often.

It's not finished, and at the current stage it's spreading misinformation. Sure, if they fix it we should use it. But as it is now... Maybe not.

Normal distribution.

I’m not sure what we expected. An Amazon recruiter is penalized if their pick time average drops.

/s?

Sits spouse and kids down at the dinner table: “Honey, kids, I have some bad news. We’re going to have to tighten our belts a little, as I’m only going to bring in 2.5 million this year.”

I’m sure the kids are scared, and the possibility of divorce is heightened due to the financial troubles looming in the household. I hope they live in an area with free school lunches and generous social safety nets.

I only read there was a suspension and it stopped. Didn’t say they kept him. Was there more?

It was always so weird that tech, despite trying to revolutionize every other industry, has been shockingly bad at adopting tech as part of the hiring process. It's so weird that the recruiting model of the 80s and 90s stuck around so long

​

I expect the engineering will *eventually* recover, tech recruiting is gone for good.

Dammit! This was the thing they were not supposed to find out!

That's not Indeed, that's Recruit you're talking about. A Japanese company, that owns Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.

Or such minimal metal they’re impossibly hard to find. We used ground penetrating radar from trucks and portable equipment. The minehound we were issued operated both GPR and Metal detection

Edit: and a lot of the antitank/anti vehicle mines can actually be triggered by introducing new metal into an area

OpenAI's GPT model is deterministic, but for ChatGPT they deliberately add variation to the user's input to get more creative answers.

You’re not alone. Almost my entire feed is people over 30. The only people who act like tik tok is nothing but children are the ones that have never used it and have zero understanding beyond what the news reports.

I think they are going to name them by alphabet. The next version will start with a C, then D etc.

My guess after BARD. We'll have CAT or CARL or CARD.

Stands for Bidirectional Artificial Reinforcement-trained Decoder.

I am pushing 50 - I know about it but don’t use it. Most of my peer group knows it but doesn’t use it. We’re stuck on Facebook so we can keep our elderly parents up to date.

My mother in law is almost 70 and she was chiding me for not using TikTok. But she’s an anomaly, I think.

In 6 months people will be bored of chatGPT and BARD and will be distracted by the next hot thing (maybe a new war or an economic crisis).

This tech has the smell of a fad like wordle was for 2022. Remember all those variants of wordle? All forgotten and shoved into that shoebox under the bed like everything else. Remember the excitement surrounding self driving tech 5-8 years ago? Also now forgotten.

And all the excitement about LLM applications is exactly like the excitement about block chain. Everyone will declare that they are going to study using LLMs for xyz. But give up after a few months after finding out that these systems spew out garbage and you need to pay millions for the GPU farm and the human raters to train the (reward) models. Prompt engineers will have to recompose prompts to achieve stability and reproducibility across models.

Just ask anyone who has played around with stable diffusion. You start with fluent text description but soon enough you are using massive positive and negative word lists to get anything close to what you want SD to render.

Start ups will fail when they find out that their applications are tied to specific versions of models.

Currently job hunting. Do you have any recommendations other than LinkedIn and Indeed?

even if these stats were slightly correct, (we all know this is far from the truth) the phone or the ipad belongs to an adult, but its the kid thats using it. so its a meaningless stat. Its like saying 50% of children drive cars because they take a ride in the back seat.

Bro I'm not angry but people over 40 know what TikTok is.

You remind me of those people in 2010 who claimed people over 30 couldn't use a smartphone. Or the same in 2000 for the Internet.

I'm.sure there are some slow learners out there but it's not like cloud computing or something. Most people know what TikTok is.

My mom is pushing 70. She knows what TikTok is.
