I think you're bang on the money fwiw. But also worth mentioning that it's OK to ask rather than trying to predict and feeling that having to ask means failure

But the same applies to the person you are talking to - it is their job to reach out to you if they need help. It is not your job to prove anything to them by reaching out when (your heightened vigilance picks up that) something is off.

I am never buying the story of "i did not reach out / i betrayed you / i treated you poorly, and you deserved this treatment, because you failed to know me well enough to know what i needed (even if i didn't know that myself)" ever again.

There's no failure in asking. But there's no failure in not asking either - because you might be dealing with your own shit, as a responsible adult does.

One school of phenomenology of empathy makes an interesting point that empathy is an aesthetic category, not a moral one - you don't really choose to feel it. But you can choose to show up for someone. You can choose to show up for yourself as well.

I have been dancing lately, and i think it's helping a little. Our tango teacher says semi-jokingly to followers (usually women, although i find occasionally following quite fun as a man) "if you teach men that you will do everything yourself, they will learn that" - meaning that they should not anticipate a move - if it is not being communicated clearly, it is not your job to guess it. On the other hand, leader's job is to very clearly suggest a move with a gentle push or a shift in their pose, but not force it. Ideally, that's a fun exchange of clearly expressed and contextually relevant suggestions and responses.

Thanks for being the thread of sanity in a sea of "wtf manipulation even is"

This is clearly a partisan website (see its name). Read with a large grain of salt.

Yann was in charge of FAIR which has nothing to do with llama4 or the product focussed AI orgs. In general your comment is filled with misrepresentations. Sad.

FAIR having shit for products is the whole reason he is being demoted/fired. Yes, he had nothing to do with applied research, that was the problem.

Sora is about data gathering. This take is too simplistic.

There's still too much fat, or rather people who just add net negative value. My org would benefit from firing easily 50%.

I'm surprised at the model dim being 2.8k with an output size of 200k. My gut feeling had told me you don't want too large of a gap between the two, seems I was wrong.

This is normal. Rope was introduced after bert/gpt2

What is it like living a life completely ignorant of reality?

If you'd like to learn, feel free to ask chatgpt on the leftish pushback against abundance. Or historical examples of leftists blocking housing projects. Or environmentalists prioritizing niche interests over those of the general community. There are many, many examples.

We're all gonna be PMs.

That’s basically what it amounts to, being a PM to a team of extremely cracked and also highly distractable coders.

Think the microsoft terminal saga shows a pretty clear track record.
