Forum Lobby / Concerned about BIG corporate ...
Last post by icecream-guy - February 15, 2025, 01:00:25 PMMy brother turned me on to brighteon.ai, its a AI that is trying to preserve the "old ways" of doing and knowledge quote from the site it's a "set of critical human knowledge about food, nutrition, farming, permaculture, herbs, indigenous medicine, alternative medicine, off-grid survival, sustainability and other critical knowledge areas that have kept human civilization alive."
most interesting database of knowledge, Personally I couldn't get the self extracting .exe to run, so I downloaded the .gguf file and have successfully launched the .gguf in Ollma for windows 64bit. I Tried LM Studio, but my Norton AV said there was a virus in the LMstudio.exe, forums said it was a false alert, but I didn't want to take a chance.

we just got introduced to it last Friday. management is trying to make sense out of ServiceNow instance and who is working on what. seems interesting but feel like I am being micromanaged by AI.

Last post by deanwebb - July 20, 2024, 08:00:37 AMAll investment advice presented here is for entertainment purposes only. Do not consider seriously any investment advice from a source that has a smilie like this --> 
I'm all for rapid updates and everything, but maybe just maybe somebody slows the roll by 30 mins and checks to see if the PC we have running in the dev lab survives a reboot after the new code is pushed. And this really is a lesson for *every* firm doing super-agile CI/CD pipeline.
Back in the 90s, we called super-agile CI/CD pipeline "updating production directly". It was a great way to get fired if one did stuff like that.

Like "quiet quitting", but you still like your job. You just don't disclose where you are when remote...
I am remote every day. Have to account for every minute in my Weekly Activity Report.
Well every 6 Minutes as we bill in the thenths of an hour

Last post by Otanx - July 19, 2024, 09:32:32 AMYep, woke up to this. Glad we didn't get hit ourselves. Several of my wife's coworkers are supposed to be traveling today, but can't. The airline told them probably tomorrow... maybe. The only good thing was that for one of her coworkers they still had their hotel room because the hotel couldn't check them out when they left.

Forum Lobby / CrowdStrike Outage 19 July 202...
Last post by deanwebb - July 19, 2024, 07:58:48 AMA gut-punch of a story. CrowdStrike pushes an update to its agent globally, wrecks tons of systems because it's broken.
Yes, I want security updates fast and furious to keep ahead of the baddies.
BUT
I also want my mission-critical servers in banks, airlines, and health care to not crash because of a security update.
