Was in the same boat in the beginning of the year, got +10 years of professional experience at some good companies. Got ghosted or rejected before the intro call a lot, despite matching 100% the job description, sometimes even ticking all extra/bonus points. It was very frustrating, especially since I never received any feedback on why... I guess it's because I hopped from job to job at a 1 year interval in the past years.

I ended up finding a really nice job via my network. Took some time but I'm very happy now. Ping me your LinkedIn or CV, the company I'm at is still hiring. My email is the same as my website in my HN profile, only replace the first dot with an @.
Or bored.
My problem is that I don't even get the initial calls.

This is some weird rural populist hogwash with no basis in reality. The economy is a highly interdependent system. Cities need farms and farms need cities.
Is banning child labor bad for manufacturing?
A lot of what this takes are missing is that the unreliability of those models is not a hurdle for a tremendous amount of applications. If there is a human in the loop that can now write a couple of words in a fuzzy human language, check or select or edit the resulting response, and thus do their job twice as fast or god beware 10x as fast, that is absolutely a game changer.

My main criticism for LLMs are:

- the way they were rolled out was counterproductive. Unleashing a chatbot that pretends it knows everything, without any background and guardrails, is directly responsible for the hype untethered discourse that is prevalent in the mainstream. In the literature and among practitioners, every body is well aware that these things don't "think"

- for the first time, it feels that a significant amount of what my value as a aprogrammer will be fully owned by a corporation and trickled out to me for $99.95 a month. It's already the case with copilot. I can't imagine going back to a world where I work without gpt3 and copilot, which gives me no choice but to fully embrace my corporate overlords. I fully feel what farmers feel wrt their tractors.

The best I can do for now is figure out what the real usecases are for me and how to leverage GPT3, and start looking heavily into open models, so that I can help out with whatever unix <> bsd situation we are going to end up with.

None of this has anything to do with the end of human culture, education, discourse, or the end of quality in software. If software quality could be any lower, under capitalism, it would be. It's not like I can get really shitty code that pretends to do something for $5/h on upwork.

> Eh... The mp3 decoder can generate copyrighted music if you feed it the right inputs...

Good analogy! An MP3 decoder takes an input and produces an output. If the output is copyrighted material, it's well understood that the inputs is simply a transformed version of that same copyrighted material and is similarly copyrighted.

The SD model is very much analogous. The prompt causes the algorithm to extract some output from the input model. If the output is copyrighted material then similarly the input model must carry a transformed version of that same copyrighted material and is therefore also subject to copyright.

Right?

By the way, I pose this, but I highly doubt this is actually how the courts will rule. I think they'll find the model itself is fine, that the training is subject to a fair use defense, but that the outputs may be subject to copyright if there's substantial similarly to an existing work in the training set.
I have to say that I generally agree with you, though that's unpopular.

It's a cool project and it has scientific merit, it's cool to do just because they'll do something that's never been done before, and learn things that can be useful elsewhere.

I do kind of agree that it seems pointless, and their justification seems more moral than it does practical.

The moralistic side of this stuff sometimes seems to verge on nature worship with some people. It seems that we have somehow got it in our collective heads that we need to preserve the planet _exactly_ how it was right before the Industrial Revolution started, forever.

Where is this—possibly wrong—assumption documented? Or do you think it makes no sense to document random assumptions, which may or may not hold in the future?

Another simple example: Almost all usable sorting algorithm have the same space / time complexity on paper. But as everybody knows they behave quite different in reality (otherwise we wouldn't have so many of them to choose form). Do you really think it makes no sense to document such design choice where it matters?

Also in this case unit tests won't help you. (But you given up already on this line of argumentation anyway, I see ;-))
These sorts of actions are making me think he doesnt have millions hidden and stashed away and we are seeing the desperate actions of someone who was worth 10's of billions and now has literally nothing.
IIRC UE also still only has the (built-in) option for a static, same vector at every space&time point (gravitational) force field ?

Of course this does cover most of the cases, probably even for "space" games (which are often more akin to WW1/WW2 naval simulators).
>Whose economy are we talking about though?

The economy of scale. A kitchen with professional staff and equipment making hundreds of plates do that far more efficiently than each person or family making their own food. The reason then why it is still more expensive to eat out is because of business burdens, such as parasitic rent and interest, parasitic taxes, and sometimes exaggerated profit demands from owners. And of course there are costs that are just nice to have, such as table service.

If you look how little healthy school lunches or lunches on ships cost, you see how efficient the economy of scale is in a kitchen environment. And truly, in many places in the world it is common for even the poorest labourers to eat out, because there is a balance without excess burdens taking away the advantage of the economy of scale.
There are more than 50 jurisdictions in the US alone. Massachusetts has a particularly odd law, which was apparently written by a staffer who had just watched too many Shaw Brothers wuxia films:

I mean, yes? You can host your own email server at home, but Google has still made billions selling email. Regardless, paying a company to allow them to run cycles of their proprietary model on my hardware doesn't feel like a great deal to me. Why would I choose that?

One should have at least 3 alternatives and load-balance evenly (or using another strategy depending on fee structures).

FWIW, I live 40 minutes from the nearest Walmart and still get Prime delivery in 2 days.
After moving abroad with my girlfriend, I didn't initially speak the language. I needed a job so I applied for a job in my mother tongue. The job was calling construction site workers and conducting interviews with them about the drilling machines they use. Some of the questions I remember: "How many holes do you drill a day?", "how happy are you with your drill?", "what would you rather have: a drill that's lighter, or more reliable, or ...?". I needed to complete a full interview to get paid for it, which took a good 15 minutes at least. The people I called were on-site and busy with their things, and didn't really have the time to spare. Worst thing: the calls were made automatically, within 30 seconds of the last call, so you were constantly on the phone. I quit on the second day.
A related question: how to get the deepest-red frequency on the monitor (while reducing the interference from other frequencies)?

The first step would be to use red color (let's say, RGB=0xff0000).
Is there anything to do to lower the frequency? Would reducing the brightness help?

Or is it just simply: set it to full-red, full-brightness?
What is this tomfoolery with the arrows?
From the abstract:

These findings pose a challenge for theories of learning to explain the odd combination of large variation in student initial performance and striking regularity in student learning rate.

My anecdotal experience from teaching math in higher ed for 20 years is that the variation in initial performance might be due to passing students who don’t deserve to pass. Especially in recent years our (teachers’) performance is measure by passing rate and I have very little incentive to fail a student even if they don’t know the material.

I have no expertise on this topic but it seems to me that some people are truly smarter than others. As an extreme example consider the difference in intellectual talent between Einstein and a mentally disabled person. I suggest the possibility that maybe some people start off school in kindergarten behind their peers and never catch up. If the rate of learning is largely the same for people then starting off in kindergarten in the upper half in terms of knowledge would likely lead to one ending up in the upper half of knowledge at the end of college.

They found it because it is literally a beacon.

I didn't see it that way, but the consensus in this thread is that I'm absolutely stretching. Which is very good to know and something actionable to fix. My roles have been getting longer with time, the short stints were when I was a student, e.g. I quit at a job so I could accept a big name internship, which was an opportunity I couldn't miss.
It's a language model, so it's good at generating language. Any congruency with knowledge of what the language expresses is purely accidental side effect.

I think it's that they give the delivery drivers a stupidly short amount of time to make deliveries, so it's up to each driver how they handle it.

Some take their time and work slower, some leave them buy your front door and don't ring the bell, some dump them over the fence, and some just mark them as delivered and drive home with the parcels.

So far the reason seems to be to get extinct.
The primary driver for requiring the STOVL variant was the US Marine Corps which wanted to fly the F-35B off of amphibious ships to provide close air support for ground troops. There was never any possibility of equipping those ships with catapults and arresting gear; not enough space. Now perhaps the STOVL variant should have been dropped and the Marines told to make do with other aircraft, but that wasn't politically feasible at the time.

Sixth generation tactical aircraft will probably be optionally manned. So they can operate as drones when flying high-risk strike missions against known targets but can also carry pilots when greater flexibility is needed.

Sorry, I think I worded my initial post badly. 3.5 years is at FAANG, that's my current role. I'm close to a senior promo. Before that, failed startup, and before that, shorter stints as a student. I've already been made aware in this thread that this history needs to be sold in a much, much better way.
Surely human language use (GPT-3's training domain) has some connection to reality, however faint.
What they can do is offer a rebate if you don't pay by credit card.

Hm. As stated like this, it is just an assumption, that you could. I am not convinced.

> Who cares that some unknown language was called "Go!"?

If we translate this to other areas of life, then this becomes quite problematic. Next time some bigger group of people can name themselves like a smaller group of people and say "Who cares?". Well, the minority cares.

But it is indeed a typical move of a tech giant to appropriate names for their own products, with or without intention to create associations in people's heads.

On one hand one must draw the line somewhere, where one deems things too insignificant to veto a naming, but on the other hand it is never nice to take another ones name and overshadow it. Aside from that, "Go" really is a silly name, as shown when people write "golang" all the time, to avoid confusion. "Go" is difficult to search for. One would have thought, that a company like Google knows that kinda stuff, but apparently not.

They were talking about the tax dollars of remote workers going to the smaller towns. It's not exactly a program that needs to be set up.

It didn't seem relevant to me in terms of the discussion, so I countered with an even smaller town. I grew up in a decent-sized metro area, but I've definitely lived the 3-hour drive to the nearest Target. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
> Find a UK-domiciled USD account to pay out to. Might be possible - no idea really. Need to look into it.

FWIW one of these was readily available from my existing bank (Barclays) last time I needed one (~10yrs ago). Bit of hoop-jumping to go through, but definitely worth it for $30k/year.
I’ve asked ChatGPT about hardware. Here’s the response:

> As for your specific computer, with 64 GB of RAM and a high-performance GPU like the GeForce 1080 Ti, it should have sufficient resources to run a language model like me for many common tasks.

Based on the models open sourced by OpenAI, they are using PyTorch and CUDA. This means their stack requires nVidia GPUs. I think the main reason for their high costs is a single sentence in the EULA of GeForce drivers: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/nvidia-updates-ge...

It’s technically possible to port their GPGPU code from CUDA somewhere else. Here’s a vendor-agnostic DirectCompute re-implementation of their Whisper model: https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper

On servers, DirectCompute is not great ‘coz Windows server licenses are expensive. Still, I did that port alone, and spent couple weeks doing that.

OpenAI probably has resources to port their inference to vendor-agnostic Vulkan Compute, running on Linux servers equipped with reasonably-priced AMD or Intel GPUs. For instance, Intel A770 16GB only costs $350, but delivers similar performance to nVidia A30 which costs $16000. Intel consumes more electricity but not by much, 225W versus 165W. That’s like 40x difference in cost efficiency of that chat.

A few cities have someone who's job it is to coordinate between all the groups that have/want something under the streets so when the streets are torn up (which needs to happen every 20-60 years depending on how long the chosen pavement type lasts) everyone with something under the road goes out and does whatever they need.

The city I'm in now puts everything in the area between the streets and the sidewalks. I don't have a sidewalk yet because there are some thing that will be going in next summer.
A counter-culture has to be at least a somewhat monolithic and unifying thing. If there are two dozen counter-cultures, then there aren't any.

I’ll go one further: most people don’t know quality, including most engineers.

Is it reasonable for 90% of software engineers to know what a top 10% software engineer resume looks like? I don’t think so. Most people think repeating dozens of skills at the top of your resume with no storytelling is a must-have (e.g. “skilled w/ Python, Ruby, Scala, Rust, Go …”).

So you're against communities having software? You think centralized server farms owned by Big Tech is the only place where their software should run? Another pointless centralized VC-backed proprietary silo which "captures" a market and extracts rents, at best does nothing and at worst wastes a lot of people's time and makes them addicted, anxious, more antisocial, and work like sharecropper slaves to contribute content that's milked for "eyeballs"?

I only looked curiously at the relevant Linux code. But my understanding is that compound pages don't show up in the page table of a process. Yes, there's an associated data structure with each physical page, but that's separate from per process tracking.

The problem with the page table and postgres is that they're separately maintained for each process, even if all processes share the same shared memory area.

With 1GB or 2MB pages that's not too bad. But with 4k pages you can easily end up with dozens to hundreds of MB for each connection. Wasted memory + wasted cycles (tlb misses).
Banks do not charge a percentage of the transfer for wires or ACH. It is a set fee, usually in the range of $15-35 (stripe probably pays less than a dollar). That is a huge difference between charging 1% of the transaction.
Perhaps charge a chargeback fee of 40 euros? It'll cover both of the chargeback fees you'll have to pay stripe.
