I've heard this from several different sources now, but people working at nvidia who interact with Huang say, that how he acts during various talks and interviews he gives, is actually a very carefully crafted, cute persona. In reality he's apparently a very ruthless *sshole (not to be confused with the ssl bug :P)
I have worked in industrial process monitoring, safety, fire protection for large industrial sites, on medical devices and systems (defibrillators, patient monitoring, hospital systems), medical research support tools and robotics (AGVs, AMRs)
I also worked on some visualization applications (mostly in OpenGL, some VK) I have a good understanding of the GPU rendering pipelines.
I'm leaving my current job because of constant overtime requirements.
Let's see if #getfedihired works:
I'm a SW engineer, I'm very proficient with C++ (25yrs, I'm one of the coauthors of the static reflection feature), Python 20y, Bash 20y, I have quite a lot devops and some webdev experience. I have done team/tech leading and I have also taught at a university for 12 years (OS/Shell, SQL DBs, meta-programming, Linux kernel programming, etc.)
I'm looking for a new IT job, with the above in mind, preferably remote (in GMT+1)
Boosts appreciated

“The Anthropic scientists [..] said that their A.I. had taken “the first steps of a biological discovery on its own.””
[Mario Rodríguez Mestre, a computational biologist] “disputed that claim. “They are the same systems we have been studying for years,” he said. And they are the same enzymes, he said, that he had described to Anthropic’s A.I.”

AI companies stealing people’s work and claiming that their AI is making new discoveries. How long before humanity stands up to these companies?

@EUCommission also do not contribute to the park being dangerous.
As FDE is a pretty new role, I was wondering if there are any female Principal FDEs out there.
Feel free to 🔁 for reach.
Used async/await all around this thing and now some operations like, search and synchronization with peers runs >10 times faster:

C-level management and my fellow leads of other teams discussing using an "AI"-generated drop-in replacement for #PostgreSQL, because it caused "licensing headaches" for our precious customers (like the "biggest automotive concern in Europe", etc.) and they potentially had to pay few bucks per year.

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.
AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.
I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.
Oh no, I'm in a presentation again :P
