They want evidence of the antivirus updates for our macbooks being centrally managed by some tool (quote-unquote: WSUS). I get this is how some enterprises operate, but for our small shop we're talking a handful of macbooks that have access to even anything. And even so the people who operate those are contractually obligated to run a very tight ship (encrypted disks, auto updates (which includes XProtect, apple's native antivirus so to speak), 2FA on all services, etc), tunnelling on unprotected wifi, etc.
We sent evidence of all of this. But they really want centrally managed antivirus for our macbooks.
This looks really nice but it’s good to point out that this project can use the Ollama HTTP API or any other API, but does not run models itself. So not a replacement to Ollama, but rather to the Ollama npm. Perhaps that was obvious because the post is about that, but I briefly thought this could run models too.
antirez thank you for talking some sense. I’ve seen skilled devs discard LLMs entirely based on seeing one (too many) hallucinations, then proclaiming they are inferior and throwing the baby away with the bathwater. There is still plenty of use to be had from them even if they are imperfect.
Like LogicBlox received so much community love? I’m a Nix user and their paying $9k/mo for this never amounted to me learning their name. Could say a lot about me but could also say a lot about how appealing it will be to sponsor this.
Could be changed tho, Nix leadership should brainstorm how to make this an attractive thing to sponsor. Feature name prominently on site, conferences, social media, even CLI(?).
A sponsor like CF giving them free hosting and r2 storage etc would get a lot of love. Or it might not. Honestly I think Hetzner should just host them it could be a ton cheaper than cloud though it'd not be so geographically optimal I guess.

> “those affected have already been notified via personal and work email”
Even for remote staff, there are many more human ways of informing someone they are out of a job than shooting an email. Am I the only one who feels that way? Is it actually better to get an email an process the blow in async? Genuinely curious as I didn’t see this comment yet.
I'd prefer an email. I'd want to think about it, try and calm down etc before talking to anyone at work about it. There is no value in my manager or HR getting my hot take (or just watching me get upset) by firing me one-on-one, and firing in a webinar-style zoom call seems even more impersonal (remember that guy). So yeah, email seems a good way, or the least shitty imo.
I don't think there are good ways to inform people they are laid off. Personally, I prefer to receive an email than being told in person. At least I can keep my emotions for myself. The best thing that the company can do is to give a good severance package.
Right. Hitting someone with that out of nowhere and the inevitable "I have two sentences to save my job" response is awful. I would never want to be terminated in person.
Yes but the idea is you need to fire a lot of people at once and a consequence of that is that their access needs to be cut off immediately. So you cut access, remove access to everyone that’s being fired, and then deal with each individual over the following weeks.
I’m at Google and had reports get laid off. I don’t just have their personal contact information or whatever and neither does my team. No opportunity to easily say goodbye or thank them for their hard work or offer references or whatever. Just poof. A name on a dashboard.
React, Hooks, Node.js, TypeScript, SWR. Are these right up your alley? Transloadit is hiring a developer to work on our website (mostly front-end work, some back-end tinkering may not be ruled out). Remote, freelance, 32h+/week, $50/h. You'll be part of a highly skilled team and have plenty opportunity to work on our open source projects as well (uppy.io, tus.io). We're thin on process and management, it's mostly github issues & slack. That may not work for all, but well for some, so worth mentioning. We have an open, friendly & curious culture.
