I'm a full-stack developer with 7+ years of experience in startups trenches.

Here are the biggest projects I've worked on + a single feature that demonstrates my impact on product and/or technical chops :

Fanfest – fanfest.vip - Community engagement platform for soccer fans. Built a browser-based live streaming engine that lets streamers broadcast directly from their browsers in both 16:9 and 9:16 at 1080p (and lower resolutions), with simultaneous streaming to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, and X.com.

Pequity – pequity.com - Compensation management platform for mid-to-large organizations. Built V2 for offer approval chains, reducing complexity and fixing HUGE performance issues. For example, in the worst case scenarion in V1 for a single request it would take 2 minutes to finish. In V2 it's 970ms.

Haekka – haekka.com - Security and compliance training integrated with workplace tools. Developed a system for automatically assigning users training based on non-compliant events like exporting sensitive keys they did in AWS/Slack/Gmail.

Flox – flox.app - App facilitating social connections by helping friend groups meet. Used Postgis to build an algorithm for auto check-in system for event attendance.

I think you need to go back and rewatch Will Smith eating spaghetti. These examples are far from perfect and probably not the best model right now, but they're far better than you're giving credit for.

As far as I know, this might be the most advanced text-to-video model that has been released? I'm not sure whether the license will qualify as open enough in everyone's eyes, though.

Not really. Smart contracts ensure that if all the conditions IN THE CHAIN ITSELF are met, the contract will be fulfilled.

"The product you paid got delivered" is not on chain. It can't be verified without trusted party putting that info in the chain. Sure, it can be made into multiple entities confirming if needed but it is still dependent on "some people" rather than "true state of reality.

> No real world contract can replicate that - you have to go to court to enforce a breach of contract and it isn't certain you will succeed.

The oracle can lie and be unreliable too. It would be great system if you mangaged a video game where the currency system can see the objective state of the world, but ethereum can't, needs oracle(s).

In both cases you basically rely on reputation of oracle, or escrow company in case of old money transaction, to have high degree of safety.

Cloudflare has made considerable improvements in running small models in gpu's world-wide ( loading multiple small models).

I think they want to be the provider of inference for specialized slm's. Replicate is a perfect acquisition for that, they have a large catalog of smaller models.

With the acquisition they are saying that they have made enough improvements for the next step, earning money from those improvements.

No, A: and B: were for floppies, when having 2 floppy readers was the norm.

But anyway ignoring the sarcasm my question was implying: if this is totally customizable in Windows, why Microsoft still ships C: (or whatever other letter) as the default name for the first user partition? Show it to legacy programs with hardcoded values to maintain compatibility, but at least in Explorer and MS controlled software, use some more modern/legible name.

> I am currently an engineer at Meta. No one in my office is cross pollinating among different teams. In fact most of us are not even talking to each other unless there’s a dedicated meeting time for it. This whole thing about collaborating is better in person has never been my experience, because the collaboration (at least for engineering) is most of the time better done in a document.

I worked at Meta nee Facebook from 2013-18, and back then there were no documents, and the only way to figure stuff out was either spelunk through the source code, or talk to people in person. So I was very surprised that they ever said they'd be doing remote, and entirely unsurprised that they are moving back towards the office.

That being said, there was no tracking of in office/remote days, it was just expected that you'd work from wherever worked best for you but (almost) everyone was based out of an office.

You can still do DMA cheating with IOMMU enabled. There are quite a few relatively widespread bugs with IOMMU that allow you to bypass it, for example https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/fuzzing-pci-expre.... So to be able to actually do IOMMU DMA protection you need to be willing to ban many popular devices. That may be viable for FACEIT and ESEA but it won't be for 99.9% of anticheat deployments.

The detection for DMA cheating is based on the DMA engines being unable to emulate 1:1 the actual behavior the hardware ID would be expected to have. This can be fixed by simply doing that properly.

But even besides that, DMA through PCIe is just one hardware cheat that fits a separate thread model and therefore has some countermeasures.

There are much more robust methods you can use, for example a PCIe interposer between the OS and GPU, or simply direct memory interposes if you want to do DMA without the protections afforded by the PCIe implementation. There are interposets along with machinery to get along memory encryption and other obfuscations that can be made for around 100$.

ImGui is just very weird. For the intended use case it is quite good, but for more general applications it is just not a good UI library.

It is popular mostly because all alternatives are really bad, if "all" you want is a functional GUI to deliver some developer tool. Qt means you have to dive really deep into a C++ project. The web technologies are all far too heavy and complex and you don't really any of the power. There also are many other alternatives, none of them really do what ImGui does.

Caught your BS and triggered you, have i ?

All that you have posted are totally irrelevant to the topic under discussion. The only possible reason for it is if you have a personal instigatory agenda so as to try and steer the discussion in another totally negative direction.

As Slashdot named it, you are just a "Anonymous Coward" (i.e. Someone too cowardly to post their real name next to what they write) and a troll.

Totally fair concern, and I agree that "automate it away and forget about it" is a fast path to a team full of posers.

Couple of clarifications on how we use this: • It is not “modern looking = good." A repo with years of steady commits on an "ugly” legacy app can score very high if there is depth, complexity, and real usage. • We explicitly look for things like long term maintenance, non trivial diffs, real world integrations, and documentation, not just shiny landing pages. • The output is a signal for a human, not a gate that replaces one. It helps a recruiter who sees 200 links decide which 10 are worth a closer look.

In other words, it is meant to reduce noise, not replace judgment. If someone is quietly maintaining a critical FOSS project, they should stand out more, not less

Because every-time this comes up it is the same Mickey mouse complaints over and over. If you're young and your read this the first time I'm sure you're outraged.

Meanwhile there are 1000's of works that people are free to take. Better yet, there are 1000's of works that will be destroyed and not preserved that are open that should be preserved and used.

For tech hubs? Because tech hubs tend to be in some of the most traffic nightmare cities. I have worked in DC and Atlanta. My commute for all my jobs except 1 was an hour. The one exception was 20mins because it was a small weirdly placed company that just happened to be in the suburb one over from me.

For all other jobs, I had to commute to a business district I didn't live close to because business district and low price (when young) or great schools (when older) don't mix often.

Yeah, I know the median commute in these areas is low, but they are counting retail workers and teachers. I bet the median for tech workers is pretty high because of the reality of how they tend to be placed.

Thanks! Totally agree with you here. We actually made the POC of this product in two days a year ago. And while finishing it enough to be able to launch (which as usual took way too long), we´ve been using it within so many different cities we have travelled to. It really makes it easy to spot which places that are interesting to visit, and images really speak so much louder than anything.

Future improvements might indeed be to further improve the listings with extended informations such as user reviews and dietary filters. Also thinking about ways to raffine the search results by utilizing AI for things like providing a summary over the results you are left with after some swiping. Perhaps also some agent option(s) to easier be able do stuff like booking a table - Who knows. But first of all, this was great fun to make, and something I wanted as a travel companion for myself. So hoping other people might enjoy it as well. Again, thanks for you feedback! :-)

This exact dialogue takes place in real life regularly.

One reason that it is funny is that it plays against that.

We the audience maybe forget for a moment that we are not watching real life. We are watching a drama or entertainment. So we expect something relevant to happen. That’s the convention.

The exchange plays with that expectation. It deliberately forces us out of our pleasant illusion and makes think us about our real experience - we are sitting in a seat and watching a performance, which is happening at that moment.

And nothing happens, just the same as real life

> go through much more than just predict-next-token training (RLHF, presumably now reasoning training, who knows what else).

Yep, but...

> To say they LLMs are 'predictive text models trained to match patterns in their data, statistical algorithms, not brains, not systems with “psychology” in any human sense.' is not entirely accurate.

That's a logical leap, and you'd need to bridge the gap between "more than next-token prediction" to similarity to wetware brains and "systems with psychology".

not an MD or shrink

Depression is interesting because it exists and a state, feeling depressed/down and a condition Major Depressive Disorder, this is pretty common knowledge.

The things you have tried all work in varying degrees for both, though I believe Were still not exactly sure how SSRIs work.

There's been some buzz about depression being a sub-optimal adaptation humans use to protect themselves, logic being that withdrawal and reflection prevents exposure to risk and allows time to process and reorient.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ies) are a type of treatment based on varying levels of awareness of thoughts and behaviours, some encourage labelling and challenging, some acknowledgement and seperation, instead focusing on the valued action or habit.

CBT is generally considered the best for "mood disorders" like depression, there's probably a whole host of reasons why, but my personal take is that it deals with the root causes of the suffering as opposed to solely management of symptoms.

"my job, feeling trapped and bound to the golden handcuffs to try and survive this expensive world while being forced to work on things I have little care for"

That reads to me like grief, a loss of control and an unhappy dependence on something you clearly have no passion for, and, when you put it like that, it's not hard to feel shit.

The reason those interventions likely failed is because the stressor, likey your job, or your current relationship to it remains, kind like treating a splinter with antiseptic cream and a band-aid, even though that's the correct treatment, first the splinter has to come out.

Maybe have a look for someone in your area that does Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alternatively you could check out The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris it's a book but I believe there is also an online course.

Alternatively you could look at some eCBT like ThisWayUp, or go down your own rabbit hole on CBT and maybe look at David Burns stuff (I think that's his name)

Either way you need to address the root cause of your distress which is your job and/or the way you feel about it.

Good luck my dude, you've got this and will be better off for it once you come out the other side of it.

Please excuse my shit spelling and punctuation I'm on mobile and half asleep.

I just noticed the site contains a very misleading description of what a Community Interest Company is. They are not necessarily not for profits (a certain proportion of profits has to be used for the stated purpose) and they are not as tightly regulated as charities (they do not get the tax breaks charities do either) .

That is not to say this particular company is a bad thing (I have not problem with people getting reasonable remuneration) but if you want to know (e.g. if you are considering donating) its something you need to find out on a case by case basis.

This is not well known in the UK, let along outside the UK.

> Selling AI generated slop at full price

I think that’s for the market to correct. If people don’t spend money on AI generated products because they’re bad, that’ll send a signal to the company to pivot from their current strategy. If people are spending money on those things regardless, then maybe that’s an indicator that these processes create better output than what was present before. At the end of the day, in the absence of state intervention, the market will pick what’s best for them and consumers will react in ways that may surprise the online virtue signalers.

Yeah, definitely nobody ever "avoided" stamp duty... /s

There are plenty of loopholes and corner cases, you just need skilled accountants and lawyers (companies registered abroad, etc etc). That's why there is legislation about "ultimate ownership" and such: authorities are increasingly desperate about being able to prove who owns what.

> But why do we think that they are using this as a ruse to like become despotically authoritarian in general? Do we think that the borders were opened intentionally to fabricate this “crisis”?

Maybe because many things Trump does and says are blatant lies and shameless despotic authoritarian ones? Ignoring courts, ignoring the constitution especially the first amendment, using his office for personal gain. I don't think I have to give examples because they're just too many. Only last week he pardoned a convicted drug dealer who was Hondurese president while planning to invade Venezuela and "just killing people" because of drugs for which there isn't even any evidence. It was just the last of many (including silk road captain Ross Ulbricht). Anyway that's just one of the recent things.

And the borders were never actually open. It's really hard to migrate to the US and the illegals do all the work the Americans won't do for almost nothing.

The real problem with public safety is the huge income gaps, leading to disenfranchised ghettos with festering organised crime gangs. A lot of them might be immigrants but many are born Americans. The thing they have in common that they are poor and have no upward opportunities.

Preserving biological/medical specimens with formaldehyde so that they may be re-examined later is a common practice that still occurs today. So it isn't surprising here.

The alternative would be to freeze the specimens, but that is more cumbersome than stacking formaldehyde-fixed plates on a shelf, and specimens may alter upon repeated freezing and thawing.

So this is what happens when no-one cares:

> The final nail in the coffin was when security company Wix found a killer Ingress NGINX security hole. How bad was it? Wix declared: "Exploiting this flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code and access all cluster secrets across namespaces, which could lead to complete cluster takeover."

To be fair, you're either paying for hours or for output, because I assure you you are not paying staff accurately for their output. You can of course sack someone who outputs notoriously little, but if you get output exceeding your average "8 hours of output", you shouldn't care if someone made it in 1 hour or 16, or at least you wouldn't be able to tell.

I'm using "output" as quoted in context, it's such a nebulous measure unless you're specifically buying a product.

This is a terrible argument, just because of the way the legal system works.

If MegaCorp has massive $$$$, but everyone else has small $, then MegaCorp can sue anyone else for using "their" code, that was supposedly generated by an LLM. Most of the time, it won't even get to court. The repo, the program, the whatever-they-want will get taken down way before that.

Courts don't work by saying, "oh, but everyone is doing it! Not much we can do now."

Someone brings a case and they, very laboriously, start to address it on its merits. Even before that, costs are accumulating on both sides.

Copyright trolls are mostly not MegaCorps, but they are abusers of the legal system. They won't target Google, but you, with your repo that does something that minorly annoys them? You are fair game.
