I already sense my mentally ill friend getting attached to ChatGPT and it’s so so SO concerning
Seems like a never-ending cycle for some. You eat sugar and it messes with your brain, then you eat more sugar because your brain is messed up.

Re:Ten Rules for Negotiating a Job Offer on Sunday April 06, 2025 @01:18AM (#43599119)
I just skimmed, so not sure if this was mentioned.

It's pretty basic, but BE FAIR. It goes a LONG way and is (sometimes) hard to clock.

I was offered something in my contract, and I misread the offer (not because it wasn't clear, I literally just skipped over a couple of words). Subsequently, I continued on with negotiations and never mentioned it as a concern.

It wasn't detrimental to my offer, and I knew I'd be fine with accepting that term, but it was sort of an annoying term. I knew if I went back to it after the 3rd round of negotiations and negotiated it, then it just wasn't fair. I later told my boss about it and he appreciated it a lot. I have an amazing and fair relationship with my boss.

Re:Jargonic: Industry-Tunable ASR Model on Tuesday April 01, 2025 @04:59AM (#43544426)
yeah — sounds about right. retraining the whole model just to add one jargon-y term isn’t super efficient. this approach lets you plug in a vocab list at runtime instead, which feels a lot more scalable.
