WunderGraph | Senior DevOps Engineer | Full-time | Remote in EMEA | https://wundergraph.com/jobs/senior-devops-engineer

We are building WunderGraph cloud, the infraless API developer platform. Without a single thought about infrastructure, developers can integrate any back-end in seconds and deploy to production in minutes. The underlying technology makes deployments insanely fast, but at least in this case, we do need to create and maintain a robust infrastructure, so our users don’t have to. :)

As a DevOps Engineer at WunderGraph, you will be in charge of

- Helping the team to implement, deploy and maintain the necessary infrastructure

- Operating and orchestrating our cloud infrastructure

- Defining adequate monitoring of our cloud services and virtual machines

- Implementing and deploying measures to make our cloud even more robust, secure and scalable across the globe / on the edge

- Automating as much as possible

- Efficient use of our cloud resources (traffic, load, provisioning)

- Documenting and planning new solutions

Sounds like they didn't have access to GPT-4, but "Based on anecdotal evidence"... they still predict this.
Wonder how data biases will surface

Incidentally: there is an interesting video interview to Noam Chomsky and Gary Marcus on limits of current attempts at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBdZi_JtV4c

...And Gary Marcus saying just before 7:00 that "something is missing" (understatement): ontology.

Gray Marcus: «...and these systems fall apart left and right».

Nice summary from Gary Marcus: «What they do is, they perpetuate past data - they don't really understand the world».
Hasn't GitHub been de jure, if not de facto, banned in India since 2014?

Eh, I don’t think apple is doing that specifically for businesses as much as to unlock businesses to give their employees a luxury perk.
> Probably the biggest solution could have been to better regulate Rainstorm runoff from private properties. But the city did not pass such legislation except for larger properties.

This is a huge gripe of mine. I live in south Queens where the majority of homes are single family detached and so many have had their yards paved to 100% coverage. It infuriates me when I see water pouring down their driveways running into the streets. I don't know why but people seem to prefer hideous barren concrete to life supporting dirt. It pains me when I see a home sold and the property is cleansed vegetation and paved. Looking around my neighborhood on 1940s.nyc is depressing.

I'd say its the opposite, you're talking about a channel that gets 10M views average per video while being kid friendly and targeting probably the audience with the most spending power(middle aged males in the US), you'd think they'd make far more than 100k/year.
It's more of an attack of opportunity rather than a preconceived masterplan I think. In chess terms: the Russians blundered and NATO is taking advantage of it.

A similar thing happened with the Sweden and Finland situation: NATO would prefer them to be a part of the alliance but had acquiesced to them remaining neutral. However when the war started and they decided they would actually prefer to join NATO now, the current members (except Turkiye, but even they didn't oppose it on military grounds) were more than happy to fast-track their joining procedures. Never waste a good crisis, as the saying goes.

I do think NATO could have done more if they really wanted to end the war quicker. As the original comment mentioned, the western countries have pretty large stockpiles of armored vehicles that could be sent over. There are also plenty of systems like ATACMS and cluster munitions that the USA has but has decided not to supply to Ukraine. The fact that NATO has so far declined to supply these weapons even though they could indeed be used to end the conflict sooner indicates to me that they are not interested in ending the conflict as soon as possible.
How about standing up to the people who implemented the ban and their supporters. I don't understand why we are working around oppression.

Actually, Swing is the GUI toolkit used by IntelliJ IDEA, one of the few if not the only commercially successful and kick-ass Java desktop app(s).
Even my father, an ardent "global warming is bullshit" supporter, admits that something weird is going on with the weather now.
That's a good point. There are regulated monopolies. But if a monopoly does not have specific legal endorsement to operate (eg NFL, power company for a region, etc) then it is illegal.
> The exorbitance of a $200+ cleaning fee is a well-known criticism of Airbnb.

People criticize all sorts of things they don't understand. Our cleaning service charges us $280 per turnover. Separating the cleaning fee from the nightly rate makes our property more appealing for longer stays, which we (and our neighbors) prefer. It's not like a hotel, where the cleaners come every day; why should guests pay every night for a cleaning which will only happen once, after they leave?
VP of Engineering
And then when something goes wrong, you’ll be staring at an opaque .vcproj file without any idea of what’s going on under the hood and how to fix it.
Same thing with microservices, unless you do a blue green deployment, have a planned shutdown, load balancer in between releases,...
> but in my experience, getting a negative review removed from a completed Airbnb transaction requires both parties to consent.

This is not accurate. AirBnB has a requirement that reviews be relevant, and they liberally apply this to remove reviews upon one party's request, often complaints about how the host acts are deemed not relevant to the room/house, which is of course absurd.
It has always been easy to lie with statistics. The "one" figure is such a lie, easy to parrot.
I tell myself this every day. And every day, I don't. Either I feel I didn't do enough to talk about it. Or what I'm doing isn't worth talking about. Or what I'm doing I can't talk about due to other reasons (confidentiality and things of that nature).

And then, while I used to be an ok writer back in the day for my age group, it's been a very hot minute since I last wrote to be read.

I would not make this judgment too quickly, rationality paired with ruthlessness is enough to produce some dire outcomes.
The radios that this is meant to work with don't have a real CAT control interface. Some can do PTT through this interface but some don't, my Baofeng requires you to do VOX mode when using an APRS cable. CAT allows for way more control than just PTT. You can't change frequency over the serial port unless you are reprogramming the VFO presets every time which takes a relatively long time because you have to reprogram the entire memory. Most HTs don't support CAT because HTs usually are meant to be used in the field where they are programmed ahead of time. Even my super fancy FT2DR (and the newer versions) doesn't have control over serial.

Some folks prefer the word entheogen. It's derived from the Greek word entheos, which means 'god within'.
I go back and forth on this. On the one hand, I detest excessive standup meetings and sprint retros. On the other hand, people do tend to pay a little bit better attention during them compared to "everyone post your status in slack at the end of the day".
To me, that's actually a really cool part of this. I bet a lot of people who've done shrooms at parties and casually don't really understand it or what it can do for you. But the experience really can be enhanced and useful with some sober guidance, setting, intentions and so on. Very cool experiment. I'm glad Oregon is doing it.
The number of times I find a script that blindly assumes 'python' points to its required version is too damn high. It makes me question the general competency of the people shipping Python code.
No stand ups?

Meet Mux Meet: an open-source video conferencing app
I was thinking about the initial swing in.
I agree - many people said "email sucks!" and then pushed communication ideally suited for an email into slack. We'd do so much better if we taught people how to pick the right channel for the intent vs. big, dumb generalized rules.
I hope they close down permanently. At least it creates more incentive for countries to invest in reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
It's strange. Not alps here but seems to be all over Europe... I got to Czech Republic early December. There was snow on the ground everywhere we went. First time I've seen snow in Prague (last winter was mostly just cold and rainy). In my SO's town, like a foot of snow and was -10C. A few days before Christmas travelled to another small town south of Prague, even more snow. Then suddenly the weather shifted and it's been +15C for the last 2 weeks or so. All the snow gone and feels like spring. Strange weather.

I really didn't like that book. The author has some good points, but they are already mostly discussed on his blog.

Meanwhile, much of the book is the author pretending to be an economic historian and talking (in a very shallow way) about medieval guilds or something.

The whole idea behind eval is to provide textual input. Requiring an AST as input breaks the whole idea - you're just writing code directly in an awkward format.

I’m by far a layman in this respect but I feel like it’s the difference between conceptualizing and information retrieval. Further it feels like IR is a well researched area and by allowing the conceptualizing part access to a modern IR system would allow it to form searches, pull the IR results, sift them, and summarize them.
Not sure what program initially seemed malicious to the makers of anti-virus software, but work like this combined with laziness/unresponsiveness of AV software makers Re: fixing false positives can create trouble for almost any small userbase programming language.

Technical workarounds and social activism aren't mutually exclusive; given how long the latter can take to achieve results, it's often useful to have the former in the meantime.
It's worth experimenting with ...

- any team member can propose an ad-hoc whole-team meeting at any time.

- any two team members can propose an ad-hoc whole-team meeting at any time.

- any team manager can mandate an ad-hoc whole-team meeting up to four times yearly

The Shopify rule is "no team member and no manager can mandate a recurring meeting with more than one other person."
You passed the bar!
If you're not actively building it or related tech, you shouldn't carry the label "Researcher" in the press.

I'd be happy to make it for free just for the feedback! My contact info is in my HN bio.

The downside to a motorized display is the cost. Each motor is roughly $1.50 USD. When you include all the other stuff (electronics, 3D printed parts, etc.), it's at about $2/pin. A relatively small 10x20 display (minimum size for a Tetris board, for example) would cost $400 USD just in raw cost.

At retail, that 10x20 board would likely be around $1000 USD. Arguably this is why no one has mass-produced something like this yet. A larger display would just be too expensive to be practical for most people.

BUT!... Like I said, the feedback would valuable to me so am happy to make one for free. Classic warnings apply: it's still a prototype, so supervised play would definitely be required.
I actually began paying for twitter just to be a metric; if twitter throws advertisers out and becomes a paid-only social network I think it will pave the way for a less toxic internet with fewer perverse incentives. I wish you could give them more than $11 without having to resort to buying dummy ad-space.
The next frontier for GPT-esque technologies is building one that is capable of saying "I don't know". GPT as it stands now is essentially incapable of it.

(The cases of that you see in the current ChatGPT preview are, as near as I can tell, all rules-based overlays run by OpenAI for various reasons. When it declines to comment, and then more-or-less scolds you for even asking, you got caught before even getting to the model itself.)
Also international laws or laws in general are not worth the paper they are written on unless you have the power and will to enforce them.
The vast majority of meetings are scheduled by people "higher on the chain" than you - the number of "peer" meetings I have scheduled is ... zero.

And everyone knows that refusing a meeting invite from a boss or boss-peer (or boss's boss) is career limiting.
It varies a bit with language and tooling, but 10k lines is around the place where the size of your file by itself becomes a major impediment on finding anything and understanding what is important.

A 10k lines file is not something that will completely destroy your productivity, but it will have an impact and you'd better look out for it growing further, because completely destroying your productivity is not too far away. It is almost always good to organize your code when it reaches a size like this, and the exceptions are on contexts where you can't, never on contexts where it's worthless.
I got the same feeling asking ChatGPT about some basic logic and maths concepts. IMO GPT can find the relevant training data to regurgitate, but i don't think it connects concepts.
Rag paper is paper in the US, too.
I knew we were going to replace 9/10 doctors and 9/10 lawyers the same day I got to try ChatGPT. It's just a matter of time - whoever does it properly first. I am talking about the first line of defense here, like a chat bot. Courtrooms will probably still work the same way for a long time.

It's not like most lawyers or doctors are great. Most are completely average - which is fine. Not everyone wants to read the latest research, and instead just go home and "turn off" after work. That said, most people would like to visit a doctor who keeps up with information, and doesn't tell you to do mental exercises when you have IBS.

The trend continues just like before. Less accountants, less bank tellers, less store clerks. We no longer have 10 people assembling that globus with painted glue. I do wonder what the ratio of workers to machines is now?
Do you have links to the communities you mention? Thanks
You can get flexibility or simplicity, pick your poison. Not all solutions have the same needs so the idea that there exists a single, simple out of the box solution for every problem is naive at best.

Widevine L1 requires hardware backed support and keys baked into the device, which the SteamDeck does not have.

Yes it would be. A good RPC tool should keep the distinction between envelope and payload.
It is a kind of cult really. Along with the rise of modern editors which somehow craps out at relatively large files. So small files are sold as well organized, modular, logically arranged codebase. You see these lot of adjectives to support short files. None of them seem to be obviously true to me.

I could easily see myself preferring an AI public defender to an overworked lawyer with 50 other cases in the next 2 weeks. What's dystopian is the current situation.
The fun part here is that most humans in the legal profession carry pretty extreme biases, judges included... The hope for legal ai is that you could progressively improve the biases, instead of waiting for N years for a bad judge to retire same maaaaybe get replaced by someone better.

It seems like the models in the paper could pass USMLE already.

Some tests suggest that Med-PaLM is close to human clinicians in many aspects, incl reasoning (Figures 6-7). Other tests show that Med-PaLM still returns inappropriate/incorrect results much more often than clinicians do, however (Figure 8).
How, exactly, do you propose doing that? Do you mean hiring lawyers to try and get the court's decision reversed? Or lobbying to get legislation passed to prevent courts from being able to do things like this in the future? And if the court's decision doesn't get reversed and/or the legislation doesn't pass, what then?
First of all, you do not “lend money” money to banks either, banks created most of this money out of thin air in the first place[1]. Here we're talking about asking banks to convert your hard-to-manage-at-scale-central-bank-paper-money to money-on-a-bank-account-that's-more-convenient-to-handle (that's why you do it in the first place). In both case you're the sole owner of the money as, contrary to popular beliefs, banks do not lend your bank account's money to others.

Then, regarding supermarkets you'd be surprised as their business model isn't what you think it is. Since they pay their suppliers quite some time after being shipped (60 days in my country, it varies with the country but AFAIK there's always a delay) while they sell their stock much more quickly, which means the majority of what you buy from them, they haven't actually paid it, but borrowed
