On: OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor

[_pferreir_]

DeepSeek is not Open Source. That's like saying that Microsoft Edge is Open Source, as you can download it for free.

Looking forward to seeing the ECJ order Meta to sell its European operations to a European company.

On: Orion, our first true augmented reality glasses

I know these might have very interesting and even noble applications (think hearing-impaired people), but the last thing I would want in my life is looking even more at screens.

On: Microsoft cutting crucial link to Gaza, Palestinians say

[_pferreir_]

This.

On: I like the RP2040

[_pferreir_]

I absolutely love the RP2040, and the PIO is extremely useful.

On: POV-Ray – The Persistence of Vision Raytracer (2021)

[_pferreir_]

Doesn't Blender's main rendering engine, Cycles, sort of use ray tracing (path tracing, I believe)?

On: TinyMCE (also) moving from MIT to GPL

[_pferreir_]

TinyMCE is switching to a licensing model akin to CKeditor's.

On: Google Cuts Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions

Wow, that's a very opinionated take, to say the least. Especially when by Europe we mean three dozen countries or so, all of them with their own history, policies and laws. A little bit more nuance would help.

On: ChatGPT-4 significantly increased performance of business consultants

[_pferreir_]

Maybe this tells more about BCG consultants than its does about GPT-4?

[brabel → _pferreir_]

That's what you would like to think, isn't it? I'm afraid this would be just as much true with any other kind of subjects, and as far as I know, there's no evidence either way so this is just a cheap stab you're having at them.

[mawadev → brabel]

After all the cheap stabs I had to take as a programmer... I allow myself to experience schadenfreude, even if there is no evidence...

[refurb → _pferreir_]

Meh.. I mean a lot of consulting is tasks like writing or idea generation. Using something like chat GPT to do it [faster, better] doesn't negate the value in what they do, since they are hired to do those tasks, those tasks are required for the broader work.

Certificate seems broken?
