So, I shouldn't be around there?

I respect that it's a challenge, but job seekers aren't responsible for solving Boeing's supply chain problems. Either the job is important enough to draw people into it, or it isn't.
It is almost definitely this. Plenty of discussion about exactly this thing if you look into the Helium subreddits/discord etc.
There's nothing on their website saying there's an app or you need to pair it with a phone. It seems to be all contained within the housing.
>but if you have a contract to sell parts to a company you can't just increase your worker pay to whatever you want and have it be sustainable.

Renegotiating a contract sounds more sustainable than not having workers.

The bottom line is always that the pay to quality of life at work is insufficient.

>Nobody wants to stand in front of a machine (or 5-6 machines) for 10 hours a day. Nobody wants to be in a 90 degree factory all day. Nobody wants to work 2nd or 3rd shifts.

>The pay isn't incredible. $25-30/hr. You get overtime.

For this much, there are lots of office jobs in front of a computer with zero risk of injury where you can sit. And overtime is not worth much if you do not get to enjoy life outside of work.
He had to completely disconnect from OpenAI due to the conflict of interest with Tesla AI.
Netlink is becoming common, but it's also messy because well, it started as a single purpose interface and is now among other things a misnomer as it's not limited to network link controls.

kdbus could probably provide richer interfaces eventually, but proximity to freedesktop will probably perpetuate a certain amount of pushback.

The main point is that the ioctl interface is limited in its expression. It is hard to filter for security, and have bad evolutionary properties. Many of the subprotocol designs over the top of ioctl have memory safety hazards even beyond the immediate issue of needing to often make and trim buffers in less than ideal ways. This is to say the interface is hard to design well with, and a more formally typed system would provide a better solution.

Regardless, OP isn't on Linux, and the point is to not copy the bad interface!
Unfortunately, a cursory glance at the tech landscape betrays that these are "normal" business practices.

Or, more accurately, that they have become normal, rather than being objectively normal.
Your current pay rate isn't working — who cares what other jobs pay in comparison? Pay $10-15 more an hour and you will see more applicants.

Occasionally my personal/literature/academic/tech notes link to a youtube source, but when clicking on it I find the video has vanished with no way of knowing what it was or even what it was called (it's sometimes impossible to track down an identical/replacement source). I lost many valuable references that way.

Wayback machine solves for webpages, but nothing I'm aware of (short of youtube-dl-ing the video yourself and storing it somewhere openly, probably at risk of various infringements) solves this. Quite a lot of hassle for something rather simple.

It would be great to be able to immortalise them on a per-video basis, so if it's important enough, we can be sure that references made to the content will still be there in the future when needed.

I think this was proved wrong - the opposite is true; it is incredibly difficult for software to predict the internal state of a CPU at compile time. The silicon is truly the only thing with an accurate account of its internal state ( cache, register renaming, etc ).

There's no indication either of these things happened, either.

As the article says:

"There is no evidence suggesting that any of those companies are running afoul of US sanctions laws and knowingly exporting their technology to be used in the drones. Even with many companies promising increased monitoring, controlling where these highly ubiquitous parts end up in the global market is often very difficult for manufacturers, experts told CNN."

Their response? "Oh, that's just all standard legal stuff, don't worry about it."

I'm a Canuck, so centuries of legal, common law separation here...

But if someone misrepresents what a contract is, and even more so applies pressure to sign, it's meaningless.

My understanding is that this goes back to "make your mark" and lower levels of literacy, and in modern times, that legalese is gibberish to many, thus misrepresenting what you're signing can effect enforcement/validity.

It's very stupid for them to brush it off like that.

(I wouldn't have signed either, and have walked from jobs and contracts over absurd NDAs. One client actually wanted me to sign a forever NDA, but 1/2 way through the contract! Wtf?! Negotiate that at contract sign, not months later!)

I think they realized they weren't going to make as much money, but I don't think they realized they would be poor. Poor people generally have less privacy, less dignity, and a harder life. So, maybe they are frustrated there weren't enough safeguards to prevent them from making a decision that lead to them becoming poor.
It makes me sad every time I try a Vim with a non-zero 'scrolloff' setting. Since I started using Vim I have learned to use H and L efficiently when navigating, but non-zero 'scrolloff' changes where H and L move the cursor to - and somehow non-zero 'scrolloff' is now the default in Ubuntu if a user hasn't created a vimrc file (even an empty file will do).

Note that this seems to work much better in Chrome than in Firefox - when I press Ctrl in Firefox, it activates Visual Block mode (so e.g. Ctrl-D, Ctrl-U, Ctrl-O, Ctrl-I won't work).

Yeah, that could be it. But in a lot of cases Google is writing its own stuff for real reasons.

Maybe I'm just older / have been in more diverse parts of industry, but I've literally worked at employers where open source software was verboten (this used to be quite common even). Compared to that, my use of dozens of open source libraries on my current project at Google is open source heaven. Sure, a smaller startup might be using even more open source libraries because they don't have the resources of Google to write stuff like Monarch/Panopticon for internal use, but to my eye that's orthogonal on the issue of open source friendliness.

I don't think I agree with the author. While of course a cohesive and disciplined army will do very well against a band of loosely affiliated warriors, the timescales of natural vs social evolution are just wildly different. A society that has spent 30 generations breeding strong warriors and 3 generations forming disciplined armies will likely decimate the society that spent 30 generations forming disciplined armies and 3 breeding strong warriors. But more than just physical fitness, harsh conditions tend to select for adaptability and ingenuity whereas more forgiving conditions favor stability and orthodoxy.

We see this pattern played out throughout history. Generally big agricultural societies form in good fertile spots which place strong emphasis on social cohesion and discipline. These cultures form large and well organized militaries which regularly fight other armies from the same region and develop an extensive military tradition. However these societies lose terribly to, and wind up being ruled over by, much smaller populations from the inhospitable periphery such as hill people or steppe nomads. Consider the Hyksos invasion of Egypt, the Mongol conquest of China, the countless wars over Mesopotamia. Even for the cited case of the Romans, they started out living in swampland and hills on the periphery of Etruscan civilization, and despite centuries upon centuries of military tradition they would fall to various periphery groups like the goths, huns, bulgars, etc. Of course every empire needs to fall at some point and its conquerors need to come from somewhere, but it's still notable that the peripheral societies accomplish this at such a numerical and resource disadvantage.

I think in real life any society that developed stillsuits or worm riding and mastered survival on Arrakis would be unparalleled when it came to traversing hostile terrain, and logistics would come as naturally to them as breathing. Sure a more traditional force might be able to best them in a pitched battle, but they'd bleed any force white long before such a battle was fought.

FB people have great experience with introducing typing into weakly typed languages (e.g. PHP vs Hack). So I actually started using pyre-check in place of mypy. The tool is really great and fast. I also like pysa quite a lot.

Pyright only came into focus because it was best Python LSP implementation for NeoVim, and it is also the default for helix-editor which I play with. It's also nice that I could suggest pyright for some younger colleagues using VisualStudio Code (with strict mode enabled of course).

P.S.

That approach is a dead end, incapable of doing anything beyond the basics (notably it doesn't compose into structs) and is likely to be abandoned.
I use a mono repo setup with “web”, “native” and “shared” using react and react-native. All of my logic and fetching code is hook based, and that can be 100% shared. I have to make a web interface and a native interface, but they are so different it’s nice to split on the UI. I wouldn’t want to have a desktop UI that I also show in an app, it just wouldn’t look good. All in all I probably share ~70% of the code. It’s all in typescript and really nice dev experience.

Maybe I’ve not been in the react native ecosystem long enough but it seems relatively painless. Granted I’m mostly displaying data, some icons, and buttons so YMMV
Agreed, I got started by copying rocket designs from some youtubers and watching them launch them and attempting to copy their flights, starting off quite badly but once you get the hang of it you're able to go from low kerbin orbit to mun/minmus orbits to minmus landings/returns to mun landing returns and then work out towards duna then the moons of jool.
There's networks like Helium that are based around LoraWAN mesh IoT miners. Assuming there's some financial advantage to having maximal connectivity to other miners, putting a few on the mountains above a major metro area seems like a very straightforward idea.
I'm glad you've enjoyed it! If you like the idea of a periodic table of features, you might like the Early Vision article from the original Distill circuits thread: https://distill.pub/2020/circuits/early-vision/

We've had a much harder time isolating features in language models than vision models (especially early vision), so I think we have a clearer picture there. And it seems remarkably structured! My guess is that language models are just making very heavy use of superposition, which makes it much harder to tease apart the features and develop a similar picture. Although we did get a tiny bit of traction here: https://transformer-circuits.pub/2022/solu/index.html#sectio...

I think Rust is one of the most promising languages for such a shared layer. Can also be used on the web via WASM. This enables native UI with shared business logic.
