I built a fully locally hosted language learner app. It build language lessons based on a 4 year college curriculum, using a local LLM, Qwen TTS, local STT, and comfyUI image gen. I formulates themed lessons, around 'interesting' stories, generates dialogue, images, audio, quizzes, and pronunciation tests. Each lessons progress is tracked and new lessons are generated daily to reinforce concepts and extend past lesson story lines.
Overall it acts like a 'Choose your own adventure' book, but you learn while doing it. Currently supports Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Runs on a 4060 16GB card.
I disagree. Shipping has always been the fun part for me. I have been a DEEP engineer, and I love figuring out creative and deep optimizations, but writing them was never fun, designing them was. Writing the code has always been the least enjoyable part for me.
I get why they are mad, but I don't think I see a problem with the Qwen team doing this. I would say it's entirely on Anthropic to have better bot detection, or if they are paid accounts, Anthropic has even less of my concern.
I have built out several Amcrest systems. You have the many options for recording and access, that will allow remote access without going to the cloud.
For a service like AWS, 75 mins is going to result in a LOT of COE's for people on way it wasn't mitigated quicker. A Sev 1 like this has an SLA of 20 mins to mitigate impact. Writing about these failures will consume a dozen peoples time for the next 6 weeks.
I have 10 years of experience at Amazon as an L6/L7 SDM, across 4 teams (Games, logistics, Alexa, Prime video). I have also been on a team that caused a sev 1 in the past.
Not everyone wants to work as a contractor. It also limits the amount of control you have over their output. It also is not a complete failsafe, as the state can say you treated them like an employee, thus they are an employee.
Yes, they are. Having an LLC based in Texas, trying to hiring a remote employee in NYC. I have to comply with all local NYC laws and taxes. Luckily it's a developer. If it was a sales person, it could make the whole company liable for income tax in New York state.
Even worse when you talk international. An Amazon USA based employee is forbidden from working remotely in India, because of all the legal issues it would cause for Amazon USA.
