Re:X.ai: $6B Series B on Monday May 27, 2024 @02:07AM (#40488058)
I would be asking the same question if another company formed in the past year raised $6B to train LLMs. For example, Mistral raised a significantly smaller round at a much lower valuation. Just trying to learn how others see this.

Yet the money keeps coming, so I want to learn what I'm missing.

What is the bull case here? They close the gap to Anthropic and become a 4th place player?

None of the airport feeds I've tried have worked, unfortunately.

It was possible to opt into a continued free plan for legacy free G Suite users. Not sure if you lost that option by upgrading to a paid plan.
Re:Reddit valued at $6B on a $250M round on Monday February 08, 2021 @11:27PM (#26073868)
My parents in their 60s have discovered that Reddit is a great source of research to get real humans talking about a variety of topics (basically what Quora aimed to be but never was). I strongly feel they're just getting started.

My take is that resigning now prevents having to answer the question of supporting action under the 25th amendment.

Per the announcement, the live video infrastructure that powers Periscope will continue to power live video on Twitter.

Costs to support a standalone app are more than just infra and CDN costs - think support, moderation, legal, comms, QA, etc.

Re:Evolving Reddit’s Workforce on Wednesday October 28, 2020 @12:52AM (#24915370)
By being one of the first to state this publicly, Reddit is basically guaranteeing strong retention and have made themselves very attractive in the job market. It's an admirable move. I'm not sure one company making this choice, when many other (larger) companies are already in the practice of adjusting at least base pay based on locale, will make much of a ripple. But we can hope.
Re:The 2020 MacBook Air on Friday March 20, 2020 @03:12PM (#22640613)
Seriously.

Wondering if I should get one of these to replace my 2015 13" rMBP, which, as of late, has pretty poor battery life and degraded performance. Wouldn't mind something a bit more portable. Or, if the obvious move is a new iPad Pro.

Andy Rubin may have gotten this company off the ground but he ultimately was the cause of its demise. I wouldn't ever buy a product from this company.

This is a hot take and I like it
Most interview processes I've been a part of had a target level for the candidate, with the possibility of leveling them up or down based on the outcome of that interview.

There are other reasons why leveling can be important - the expectations of the candidate around title and comp, for instance.

This is why sites like levels.fyi exist. They are surely not perfect and I don't know much about how the data is collected or verified, but it's a question that people want answered.

> You likely can’t accurately compare level numbers or titles directly between companies, even with tools that provide mappings between companies.

Companies may claim this but it can't really be true in practice, otherwise it would be impossible to level incoming candidates

Great read, and also a strong bull case for Slack no matter how unbearable it gets at any significantly large organization.
Strange but accurate analogy
The former, yes. But afaik the Facebook Groups or Local (Events) apps require a full account.
If I could keep Messenger + Events and get rid of the rest, I'd do so immediately.
Where does your friend with $650k TC work and what is their role/level?

Very clever of him to also have founded SpaceX for this very reason.

Do any Samsung products not contain software written by them?
Based on talking to peers at my company who work in the UK, and corroborating stories from friends at similar companies, UK salaries are dramatically lower across the board.
Yeah, this was last week's news from WWDC. Not sure why it's picking up the votes now.
This is very accurate. I've gotten in the habit of manually killing my phone's WiFi as I leave my apartment and start walking down the hall calling a Lyft/Uber, and the same when outside my office. This remains an unsolved problem.
