Greek workers have the option to work in any of the 27 EU countries, and a few non-EU countries like Switzerland and Norway.

Given that there is a shortage of skilled workers prompting this policy, it makes little sense to allow employers to demand more unpaid overtime of workers. That just means more Greeks working outside of Greece.

Greek workers already work more hours than any other EU country while making basically no money, so making Greeks work even more hours should probably not be a government priority.

Removing needless regulation and speeding up government permits would be a better idea.


Now that people are training AI models for video this might actually be worth something as training data.


Culture isn't culture anymore, it's content to put ads around. People aren't artists, they are content creators. And now the final form, content is only useful past its ad serving ability if it can be used to train models.


I went to a popular scenic spot to observe the people who collect there to watch content creators.


Or, it may be useful for a massive archive of human history even.


I live in a country where software engineers often have engineering degrees.

What that means in practice is that they study math and physics for the first 2-3 years of their degree, instead of computer science or software engineering.

Does that make them build better systems than Californian devs? Based on company revenues and salaries, I’d say no.

Majority of silicon valley devs are immigrants though, they are good because they are sourced and filtered from all over the world not thanks to American education.


Many of the immigrant devs attended American Education like Stanford, Georgia tech, MIT, CMU, one of the UC’s, etc.


This is the first I'm hearing of LLMOps, please elaborate a bit on what it entails. How does it provide guardrails?


Basically, do you want a pipeline/process that utilizes LLMs and provides exactly the output you want? How do you formalize a human expert workflow using LLMs? With LLMOps. It is new, there is no standard or predefined resource that I'm aware of. At neuralnetes we are creating all of our methods ad hoc and use tight feedback loops to ensure ideal, precise output.


That sounds like technical editing but for LLM output instead of technical writers.


It's mostly software engineering.


Sounds like it's mostly air unless you can point to an LLM that doesn't confabulate.


No need to set impossible standards here, the correct thing to ask is whether the guardrailed LLM confabulates less than its competitors. That sounds like a useful job to have.


I'm not setting the standards, the person I replied to did. Anyone can make up imaginary tech that does amazing imaginary things.


It's not imaginary if it works.


All I'm saying is prove it.


This is on brand for him, he's been voicing his skepticism of LLMs for a long while now.


This is the first time I’m reading of this, why?


I was linked to a paper on this just yesterday.

> The Economics of Orbit Use: Open Access, External Costs, and Runaway Debris Growth (Rao, Rondina, upcoming 2024).

https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/730695

And for an arvix/working paper link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.07442v2.pdf

> In our main calibration, Kessler Syndrome can emerge anytime between the year 2040 and the year 2184, with the precise date being very sensitive to the calibration of autocatalytic debris growth parameters.


>I’d rather have a lower priced item

That’s what every customer wants. But game companies that sell at $3.99 don’t tend to release many high-quality sequels.


The complaint that Chrome eats all your RAM is because it starts a new process for each tab, with all the overhead that entails. You’re not using multiple tabs in an Electron app.


No instead I run 50 standalone browsers with one tab each on my machine ...


The overheard prevents any one tab from taking out the entire browser though.


Chrome has good reason to use multiple processes, but criticism of Chrome doesn’t necessarily apply to Electron apps.


That’s not the complaint lol


I was one of the last people in my class to get a phone, which taught me that not having the cool new thing was not nearly as bad as I had thought.


Credentialism has certainly gone too far in many fields, but I’d still like my doctors, lawyers, and engineers to have more than 30 days of training in their field.


Yeah, my point wasn't that every job can be learned in 30 days, just a good proportion, most, jobs can be.
