    Unhinged rant for your entertainment: Woz was the visionary in that he designed all the early Apple computers and made the technical innovations that made Apple a company in the first place. Jobs was a vibes giver that made demands, not products. I fucking hate people who call people in tech who did almost none of the engineering the “visionaries” behind the brand. Like, no, any idiot can make something look pretty and marketable, unless that same idiot made it actually work they didn’t do shit. And he inspired an entire generation of “entrepeneurs” who think their one page “idea” (which god forbid you ever need to ask them to clarify any details on) makes them smarter and superior to the workers who produced hundreds of thousands of pages of planning and prototyping, engineering drawings, code, etc etc, and did the actual QA testing to ensure they weren’t shipping sleek looking paperweights. And yet they talk down to those workers and demand they worship them. YOU should be worshipping the people who actually turned your prized idea from useless words and vibes to a real product you can actually sell, they made YOUR dream come true. Jobs should be the kind of people AI replaces, yet it’s people like Woz that are losing their jobs.


  • Raise > promotion

    I can’t manage people, don’t want to manage people, taking me out of an engineering/development position to be a manager would literally be hell on Earth for me and probably anyone under me. Keep me at the same position doing the same thing and just pay me more the better I get at it. But that’s not how pretty much any Western company works, worse, they look at your promotion record when deciding who to lay off, not your actual work record, and staying in the same position for too long automatically labels you as a failure.

    Interestingly I’ve gotten the 32B (IIRC) local Deepseek R1 model to say it’s Claude as well (in English).

    IDK if it’s indicative of distillation or “model theft” though (how do you distill a closed model like Claude?) And why would them training on prompt responses from Claude also carry the name over unless Claude says its name every time? From my uneducated guess it’s probably more of an indication that LLMs don’t actually know anything and the information they’re trained on mentions every AI model so they just randomly “pick” the most commonly mentioned ones for what they think they are if you don’t tell them. Deepseek is a common Chinese model so it’s probably associated with asking names of models in Chinese, same with Claude and English.





    1. We’re just exercising Western freedom of speech.

    2. Russia’s not socialist. Either you still think Russia is the USSR or you’re insinuating every socialist is apparently a Russian shill.

    3. This might surprise you, but immigrating to socialist countries like China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc from the West is not as simple “just buy a plane ticket there.” They’re not exactly crazy about a bunch of Westerners moving there after all the West has done to them. You don’t get to “just move” to whatever country you want, you have engage with their immigration system, get a visa, get a work permit, etc etc, you know, the same things immigrants to the West need to do.

    4. Even if you do all that, you’re still not entitled to immigrate to a country just because you want to or because you ideologically align with them. You generally need to have a skill that the country you’re immigrating to has a demand for and can’t fill with its own population before they’ll let you move there, you know, exactly like how immigration to the West works. I’m sure there are MANY people here that would love to live in a socialist country. Physically being able to go there is not the barrier for them.

    Oh please average Americans have been openly calling for this for decades and celebrated when they finally did it. Your crocodile tears fool no one and you’re only protesting now because the current administration was a little mean to white Americans as well, you never gave a shit about what Americans did to anyone else, not now, not ever. Before this was y’all celebrating the “liberation” of Venezuela, Iraq, the Banana Republics, and on and on and on. You brush aside any civilian casualties with a handwavy “well I for one didn’t want that to happen” and then pretend everyone else criticising you on it are the problem, yet you keep cheering on the military strikes for regime changes themselves as if they’re separate isolated things. Even now you’re more concerned with how people criticising Americans need to “be better” for how they phrase their criticisms because it’s apparently a worse crime to hurt your feelings.

    Fuck America and fuck Americans.
