What are they up to out of interest?

Oracle slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email​

Workers across the U.S., India, and other regions learned their jobs were gone before most people had finished their morning coffee, with no prior warning from HR or their managers.

When it comes these types of companies, their managers will often make claims internally that the people who were fired were given multiple prior notices and that they just weren’t doing enough work. It’s how they justify these decisions to themselves.

But just being fired over e-mail… I don’t know what’s lamer: receiving only an e-mail or also being fired over WhatsApp.

.obj files I've been messing with

They're essentially like an organized list of faces and vertices

I can't remember the numbers for power, but I can remember that LLaMa and Gemma can handle either 4 and 8 billion/8 and 16 billion tokens

A lot of my 3D prints would fit in those scales

I'm f*cked, can essentially build a dataset of (I don't know if low-poly is the right term) less complex pieces and AI to 3D print better than I can

Imagine when that gets to GCode

The other stuff is actually dangerous to talk about here

@Berry Scary @shattered world why aren't they smart over there?

@Berry Scary @shattered world why aren't they smart over there?
