My current work is going through this

They dropped an open system we used but the team managing the new one is so bureaucratic and disconnected from the people actually doing work it’s ridiculous.

They reject every proposal/change unless it’s 100% perfect. I had a project delayed by four weeks because I didn’t end single line docstrings with periods. They didn’t review the substance of the pr, they just commented on the docstrings and stopped as if the rest had no merit. It was two weeks between review cycles, so it took three cycles to actually fix what could have been one.

That whole team is just clearly a make work program. They nitpick and bike shed on every issue. But they aggressively document all the make work they do so they look super busy and important to the execs.

I just want to get work done, but instead it’s a Sisyphean effort.

Welcome!

The fediverse situation has been improved a lot since the first API migration, hope you enjoy it here!

I’m happy to say I’m officially degoogled in my personal life/computer.

I still have legacy accounts with gmail that I can’t migrate though.

The model weights and research paper are, which is the accepted terminology nowadays.

It would be nice to have the training corpus and RLHF too.

Anyone using Lineage? How is it?

I’ve got a Pixel 7 and have been wondering

Speaking of Covid, absolutely everyone around me is getting it this season
