If he was a test automation engineer, he likely had transferable skills. Many/most of the fab folks have almost no programming skills, and are PhDs in things like chemistry[1], etc.

Now some of them do take the initiative and learn SW skills, or data analysis properly, and switch due to that. But the majority of them feel stuck. They have a heavy workload and do not feel they have time to learn new skills.

[1] For a long time, and perhaps even now, the fabs only hired either technicians or PhDs. An exemption would be needed to hire someone with "just" an MS. Of course, almost none of these jobs actually need PhD level skills.
That would require them to say no to free labor.
This also implies some insecurity in their god.
Because they don't care. See above comments about legislation.
Nah it's religion. Power and the desire to preserve power is behind religion. Religion is just "you'd better d̶o̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶ do what god says (he said you should listen to me) or I̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶g̶r̶y̶ god will be really angry and punish you after you die!"

God never talks to anyone directly - there's always some human who conveniently relays god's message. Usually an authority figure, like a parent or a priest. It's just a tactic they use to reinforce their authority and help them control other people.

Make sure nothing from the .01 update shows up in your fork...if you ever saw any of that code you might want to look at clean room design [5]

[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design
https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

You create a series of prompts and their responses and then that tuned model is used with that implicit knowledge already stored in it.

For example a notebook for "lets train GPT on the information about the olympics - https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples... and https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples... and https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples... )

The gotcha for this is that while regular Davinci is $0.02/1k tokens, training is $0.03/1k tokens and use is $0.12/1k tokens.

The other thing to consider is that Chat GPT has a session and history for that session. You can use GPT stateless which doesn't have the "it gets confused about what you were talking about before."

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "text-davinci-003",
"prompt": "Write a recipe based on these ingredients and instructions:\n\nFrito Pie\n\nIngredients:\nFritos\nChili\nShredded cheddar cheese\nSweet white or red onions, diced small\nSour cream\n\nInstructions:",
"temperature": 0.3,
"max_tokens": 120,
"top_p": 1,
"frequency_penalty": 0,
"presence_penalty": 0
}'

And thus asking it about one and only one thing with no additional chat context around it.
This is such a bad idea without any practical use. Why does it exist?
What does it even mean for an app to "feel" like something? How do you quantify that so you can do a proper comparison with other apps, or (from the app author's side, take corrective action)?

Author calls these apps "brutalist" and leaves it at that. To his credit, he does list three features that he's like to see: fluid scrolling, swipe gestures, and tap-and-hold contextual menus. Fine. But then goes on to describe his feelings "inert and rigid". Then "comfort, fun, and panache". What on earth is he asking for out of these apps? How do you objectively compare one app's "panache" with another? If I was a developer, what are the steps I can follow to program some "comfort" into my app? These complaints seem so wishy-washy and underspecified.

Then he leaves with the Kubrick quote: “Sometimes the truth of a thing isn’t in the think of it, but in the feel of it.” We're fully in the realm of mysticism now, this is not an attempt to fairly compare or measure anything.
Is there anything you can't do in slack's web client?
Depends on what you mean by "the subject". dbt doesn't claim to be a testing tool. Personally I use dbt all the time, while I didn't know about the existence of DBT-2. Different worlds apparently.
Right, and again, if there was some virtue to passing a test in itself, I would be on board. But a test for a human is meant to show something about the human that isnt just their test taking abilities. But with GPT we can only ever say that it has good human test taking abilities. Again, I know people are excited, and they have reason to be, but you gotta adjust your mindset here a little or you will end up in a weird B.F. Skinner logic hole.
I use Zoho CRM. it's actually pretty good in terms of customization reliability and features. I used to maintain a SugarCRM CE instance for several years after they stop supporting the community edition.I Could no longer afford to spend the time to maintain it so I replaced it with ZohoCRM.

Ugh, I feel bad for all my former coworkers. Pat was supposed to be the returning savior of Intel and now I'm hearing rumors he might not last through 2024 at this rate. The thing is, even if Pat goes down, Intel is too big to fail for the US from a national security POV. While TSMC is starting to build more fabs in the US, they're doing it kicking and screaming, and the funding in the Chips & Science Act is just a drop in the bucket for now. I fully expect more semiconductor industrial policy from the US gov in the next 10 years. It's a good time to be in semiconductor policy at Intel, SIA, etc. etc.
That seems like the exception that proves the rule to me. If every electron application is a bloated CPU/memory hog that ignores the OS conventions, save the one with major corporate resources backing it, that tells me that making electron apps not suck is out of the reach of most developers, and such a thing is probably inherent to the framework.

I've seen this gesture called the "scholar's cradle" and associated with lecturing professors.
I should add those 3 months would also pay me about 2x better than a postdoc working fulltime in a university. Thats the level of pay disparity with industry, and the level of pointlessness of a university as an institution if you dont need a wet lab to work. A genuinely good business idea would be a virtual institution with library services.
IQ is controversial because it's not obvious:

1. How it relates to g-factor and whether it tests it accurately

2. How it's influenced by parenting and class/cultural factors, including class-specific parenting practices

3. How it relates to academic and professional success

4. How much apparent academic and professional success is influenced by parental cheating and influence - including bequests, donations, "special" deals behind the scenes, in-group networking, and so on

It's not controversial that some people are smarter than others in specific ways, just as some people are better athletes than others.

But there are a lot of unanswered questions about what "smarter" really means, how broad the definition should be, how much it's defined by covert and contingent expectations, whether "smart" behaviours are innate or acculturated, who defines them, and how/why.
Bookmarked. Good post, Choropleth's in R are hit or miss and mergeing data to the mapping dataframe remains annoyingly complicated (alluded too in post).
> it implies that humans remembering or using copyrighted things like normal humans do is wrong

I don't agree that this is the resulting implication. I'd argue this is only implied if you believe that the software is so similar to humans that making judgements about the software is equivalent to making judgements about humans.

Put another way, when a human does those things it is not infringement, because we have already determined that it's not, and the laws are based on humans interacting with the content. A computer doing those things is arguably a new thing entirely, and requires new rules. This does not imply that the old rules would or should stop applying to humans the way they do now.
Duplicate images caused a minority of cases on their reproduction. All duplicates that were found on SD were of repeated images.

"In contrast, we failed to identify any memorization when applying the same methodology to Stable Diffusion - even after attempting to extract the 10,000 most-outlier samples."

Read, SD does not (seem to) memorize unusual and unique images (even though Imagen does).
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act forbids only discrimination against workers over age 40 in the US. It does not prohibit age-based discrimination against a worker who is under 40. Nor does it prohibit discriminating in favor of a worker over 40.

More generally, discrimination in employment is legal by default, unless a specific protected class is created by a specific law. Many classes of discrimination are legal, such as against smokers or obesity.

States and localities may have more restrictions than at the federal level, of course.

The Cost of Shadow Work
Well, many document-processing tasks also require something like an infinite loop.

For example, parsing of an XML document naturally resembles an event loop, with each token being an equivalent of an event.

Although usually there is a natural end to this loop, so you have not "while(1)" but "while (not EOF)" or something, which helps avoid some bugs, but I believe a compiler turns it into an infinite loop anyway, and breaks it on these conditions.

Discord is a fucking bitch.. Find Something interesting, you have to join some Discord to find all the information. So you join the Discord and then you have 100s of channels with chat.. Try to find the information, need a role, I give up. It's almost angering me how terrible this program is, seeing so many people use it. It currently is being abused.

Please use Discord for chat, but don't use it as your main platform, please! Rant over.
How well rounded is your resume? FAANG is not the real world and most hiring managers know this. You might want to highlight where you haven't been often enough if you are trying to make a break for it back to reality.
Can you prove the results are cherry picked? Android app quality being worse than iOS is my personal experience as well. There are many reasons for this too. Show us well known consumer Android apps where the iOS and Android app experiences are on par.
I dont think it takes much courage to see how the idea extends/applies to a broader strategy, of entering a market, taking it over, and then ruining competitors. Leaving a final result of marketplace dominion, now ready for rampant exploitation. Now that no one can stop you.

That this tactic happened to work for open source & standards seems like less than 50% of it's relevance to me. The general idea seems self-substantial.

Of all the pieces, I think "embrace" probably requires the most fudging, the most overcoming of internal "is it really though?" in permitting ourselves to see similarity.

Even "enshittification" ("of tiktok")[1] feels notably within this general pattern, of getting good to get bad. Microsoft's specific embrace was to go after standards & open source projects, but whether we select only a focus to make us naive to the strategy & how it still apploes is up to how much we want to bind our minds.

AI Has Successfully Imitated Human Evolution–and Might Do It Even Better
Well, yes. That's a major reason for why we stop being friends, or change jobs, or fire employees, or find someone else to vote for.
Android users are less likely to pay for apps. Simple as that, this is not a new phenomenon known for more than a decade now. So for a lot of devs it's just not a worthwile thing to invest in making apps _that good_ worth paying for.

This is actually an important point.

If you have a position to fill and a stack of resumes in front of you, you will be looking for reasons to whittle down the size of that pile. That means you're going to be looking for red flags that let you quickly roundfile resumes.

I started with Mint and Ubuntu when I was 9. I became familiar with installing programs via command line, but the Ubuntu software center really helped, so maybe just Ubuntu? The visual interface is pretty simple.
IQ is controversial because it is a vague and one-dimensional metric, which all sorts of idiots are both delusional about and obsessed with.
Which degrees are fake and/or in unserious academic areas?
I think you’re trapped in this “comments must exist” mindset that’s simply not true or necessary. Every single thing you like about comments can be accomplished with self documenting code and accompanying “why” docs.

There’s simply no need for inline comments anymore, and continuing to use them is admitting you’re not putting the kind of effort you’re capable of into building software.

Not sure why this was flagged...
For once, I'd love to have a nice UI around this so I don't need to search docs and write code for simple stuff like "await ctx.waitFor({ hours: 3 });".

That would improve discoverability as well !

"Move fast and break your neck"
Couldn't you do that by just scanning `px aux` or even just `/proc` rather than running a tool that is meant for observing and control the execution of other processes? A simple name matching should be enough, rather than digging into the execution of the process itself.
Jumping from free to $50/mo feels like there's a 4.99/9.99 plan missing somewhere. Just because you have 3 people on your team doesn't mean you can casually spare $50 a month, that's a lot of money to the vast majority =(

Especially since a project going from one to three, and in the rare case four or five, folks is pretty common, but hitting 10 team members is a serious project milestone. At 10, you're probably also starting to look at funding. These plans are missing a tier =S

(people seem to be falling over themselves trying to read this as someone who works for a company that can afford this service complaining there should be a plan that lets them pay less for it. Instead, take a moment and remember there's an entire unpaid open source ecosystem out there, with devs who can't afford Zapier, don't have 50/mo to spend on automation for a project that gets used, sometimes by billion dollar copmanies, but no one is paying them for, and who might still want to pay for a service like this at a tier above "free". Does that mean "trigger.dev must add a tier"? no of course not, but it would be great to understand why there's nothing between free and business plan pricing)
Yeah it seems so obvious I can't help but wonder if there's something about it that doesn't work in practice.

Like if you set it to a threshold where it's not routinely catching false positives, it doesn't catch the original images either because they're still too subtly different or something.

Maybe they really did just not bother though. Heck, maybe they want to test it in court or something.
Data-Free Disneyland
You're right, this isn't the right term.

(I was thinking that if the competitor's stack covers your whole business you open source an implementation, you don't have a business. And so whatever business you have left after open sourcing (support, etc) is your new business, and the rest is complement. But this is getting pretty far from what the term normally means which is finding areas that are naturally complementary to your existing business and commoditizing them.)
You are probably right. But at the same time, there are a bunch of good desktop apps that would not exist without electron (or at least not in the way we know them today).

But it still surprises me that Discord of all seems to care so little about the resource footprint on their users devices. Considering that Discord is still mostly used for gaming you would expect that users want the communication app's system footprint to be absolutely minimal and without any negative impact on the actual game. Thats why I always loved teamspeak so much

>> Its loss sparked an unprecedented public safety warning over 1,400km […] a search vehicle was driving past at 70 kilometres per hour on the Great Northern Highway when a detection device revealed radiation. […] 20 metre "hot zone" has been set up around the capsule to ensure the public's safety.

Why did it take 5-days to find it? Even just two vehicles driving from either start or end of the path should have covered the path in 10-hours; based on the actual location, it should have been found in 3-4 hours.
> That's why as an interviewer I am very wary of hiring people who are not interested in what they are doing. Regardless of whether they are able to put in hours they are unlikely to ever improve in any significant way and are almost always only doing minimum to get by. Which in software development tends to result in a lot of technical debt because getting something to run is just about 20% of effort.

This might explain why open source volunteer projects rarely ever have non-technical management.

This kind of anthropomorphism isn’t generally accurate in the ML world. We make analogies on how it’s like people, then later work shows that actually no it just finds some weird shortcut. Over and over again.
