“starting?” I assumed everyone who wasn’t onboard left years ago.
At least Linkedin is full of “ex-Palantir” people, but tbh Linkedin job descriptions are not know for their truthfulness.

Firing 30,000 of them. You can’t fire people if you don’t hire them in the first place. And as you all know stock price jumps after big layoffs.


I think it’s about video generation. They shut down Sora because it was burning too much money. Imagine how much a massive amount of porn videos would cost.


The biggest surprise in the article is that Atlassian is not profitable. How? They pretty much have a monopoly in the Jira-like space (look , I can’t even think of a generic name) and they charge a hefty sum for their products. How tf do they lose money?


I’m not surprised. Jira is a monster.
As with any software, look how complex it is as a user, the hidden part is 10x worse.


LLMs are predictive text machines. Focus on “predictive”. Of course they will not output random text.
Note: not fully deterministic though - they need (pseudo)randomness at few critical points to be good


Look at it from the bright side. Manufacturers are building massive new capacity for demand that will never come. Already produced chips can’t be repurposed but machinery can, easily. In a few years RAM will be dirt cheap.


They used to sell a pretty good (if complex) database system. However it hasn’t been popular for many years. I assume they still have big customers who are locked in.
These days they’re just another amorphous “cloud service provider”, and not a good one either.


How do you even achieve that? I have to coax it into correctly running the project locally.


To the surprise of absolutely nobody


This is how dev humblebrag sounds like.
Our app is so stable only random hardware events like bitflips can crash it.


The Translation feature seems to be classified under AI. Idk what technology does it actually use, but it’s done locally on device


That’s not the way it works in the EU
Not yet. Because they don’t have the mechanism.
And it’s not about Sánchez and his government. I don’t think they would do it. But governments change, sooner or later someone else will win elections. Someone who might not agree with criticism.
And don’t try to convince me “it would never happen in the EU”. We have more than enough examples that eventually every country has a brush with authoritarianism. Even in the EU currently (eg Hungary). Prevention is always better than trying to fix it later.


Hating on tech billionaires - Yes
Government control of communications - No
Those things are not mutually exclusive


So he decided to ruin his one successful company. Which is successful because he wasn’t involved in running it until now.


The AI detects when the machine’s about to freeze up and make noise, so it automatically defrosts before things get loud.
Are we using “AI” to describe microcontrollers now?
Have a machine run something at a certain temperature (or range of temperatures) is about the simplest thing to program.


Probably whoever becomes the default provider for this new function. Like Google pays to be the default search provider.
The technical information is scarce but I very much doubt Mozilla is going to train and deploy their own model. It’s more likely you will get a free tier access to one of the popular commercial offerings - Gemini, ChatGPT, Anthropic … whoever pays for it.


In their defense, Mozilla doesn’t have their own source of income, they heavily depend on search sponsorships. Jumping onto the AI train is one way to keep afloat for now
It’s an open weights model - you can run your own. If you’re lucky enough to have a GPU or two laying around … then it can be it’s a lot cheaper actually.
