>How do you dispute what prior employers said about you?
Are they not doing that already? Even with all the current processes, employers are taking a chance. If a candidate profile is good, can't they take the same chance without all those processes?
Take LinkedIn as example, and the messages from recruiters inviting for an interview. Why can't they get the profile checked by hiring managers and send out an offer directly? Once the candidate accepts it, collect the documents and run background checks and deny if there is discrepancy.
Whatever may be the end goal, MITM is called an 'attack', not 'research'.
I'd not last a single day at such a company who would ask me to do such things. I had worked for a national political party in IT and left the job once I found about it corrupt practices and scams.
If we, as engineers collectively upheld ethics as part of work culture, Meta wouldn't have attempted it.
>The relationship with commercial vendors isn’t always healthy, but many major OSS projects are supported to a significant extent.
Almost always the so called "community" supporting a OSS project is an employee of a commercial vendor who is only interested as long as he is assigned to the project or task.
The solution is to have a full time owners and maintainers for all the critical projects and the government has to foot the bill. The govt can setup a division to identify such projects.
honest question - why was there a need to start a new repo? Would you be ok to merge yours with notepad++'s official repo[0] (both are in c++). Did this cross your mind before and what happened?
Not saying that they would allow but it'd help the community as a whole with less duplication of work and deliver more features.
In an idealist world, you're the perfect employer and I should be your employee. I want to believe that these employers exist but my conventional wisdom says, they are just textbook version, real world is different.
A little bit about me: In my 12 yoe (still at same place with steady growth), worked 6 years for one team, built a framework. one SE was dumping his new projects and moving to fresh ones while I get to maintain them, soon moved to different team. I stayed, maintained, stabilized, scaled, tuned, left only after then to different team (actually I'm the only one) to work on a new product. Again same situation, many have joined and left, few after 1 year and none of them contributed anything significant to the product. None of them cared about the product or the company, just optimizing for their career and pay. But then what's the passion in it if you don't care about what you've built and make it better.
I'm now pivoting to new team (don't know yet) planning to build something again from scratch. I'm optimizing for my passion, but some where deep inside I'm worried about my future prospects because of long haul.
there are two types of people. 1) who trusts everything on the internet 2) who doesn't trust everything on the internet.
whether its free or premium, the second group still wouldn't trust the search or ai results. they apply their own due diligence. sadly it makes a tiny percentage of the world people now. we should strive to increase this number and in next decade or so, mostly it happens.
GenAI novice here. what is training data made of how is it collected? I guess no one will share details on it, otherwise a good technical blog post with lots of insights!
>At Databricks, we believe that every enterprise should have the ability to control its data and its destiny in the emerging world of GenAI.
>The main process of building DBRX - including pretraining, post-training, evaluation, red-teaming, and refining - took place over the course of three months.
I think CVS might not be a perfect fit for OSS development[0]. For the rest, it is great. But look like big players moved to git to please the opensource community.
>Why are people so obsessed with getting the OpenBSD developers to move from CVS? If it works for them and do what they need there's no need to move.
