We're using it to test some solutions before going live and everything is ok atm.
What you describe is a text-book tragedy of the commons.
> I mean... we know how to construct software that will transfer money from one account to another, exactly once.

Assuming you are talking about transferring between institutions, there is actually no single piece of software with this responsibility. The business processes are effectively what provide these guarantees (typically by way of another 3rd party).

In order to accomplish this, added latency (settlement time) is necessarily introduced into the process.
I'd tell you an exactly once delivery joke but you may not get it.
> No bonuses

That's not what I proposed, so "that system" is not already in use. The key feature is a monetary bonus.

People love to strongly assert that they are professionals, and a performance bonus does not change their performance. I've never seen a performance bonus yet that did not improve it.

Were Wii games designed to be displayed on CRT or LCD? If I recall correctly, LCD screen were pretty widespread by the time the Wii came out — at least among middle-class Americans.
If "the network might be down arbitrarily long" is a possibility, you cannot have at least once delivery, either.
Don't forget controlnet, which is a game changer.
It's an incentive misalignment. Third party recruiter optimize for their contingency fee. The goal of their emails is to peak your interest enough to get you on the phone, so they can pitch you one or many of the companies they are working with. There is no incentive for them to disclose all the information upfront.

I'm actually in the very early stages of a product to better align incentives and promote transparency between candidate and recruiters. If you're interested, you can get updates at: https://sharedrecruiting.co/

Feedback and thoughts are welcome!
That's what the singularity is all about, a moment in time when 2 seconds late turns you into a dinosaur, be greatful it's 2 months, not 2 weeks, 2 days, or 2 minutes.
if other languages don't have equivalents for the devex/productivity enhancements of:

* Django

* FastAPI/Flask

* Numpy/Pandas

* PySpark

* Jupyter Notebooks (gross I know but this is what "data analysts" and "ML/data engineers" use at many places)

Then Python will stick around for forever.

I would love if it the Go community would quit the "you don't need a framework, DUH it's GO" attitude. Make a Django/Rails for Go and there would be 10x the Go jobs.
You know an OCR with a Statistical Language Model acting as text plausibility checker?
Orbàn is not just "unpopular with the left", but also with moderate centrists like French president Emmanuel Macron. He's been effectively thrown out of the European People's Party, the traditional European right linked to Christian establishment. When you're too crooked even for the ruling elites, you're probably crooked beyond salvation.

Sometimes people cry wolf because there is an actual wolf, and refusing to accept it will result in getting eaten.
Thank you for this recommendation. A programme that actually makes all materials available for free and only lives on donations really must be trusting itself. It sounds in style similar to the Michel Thomas method.

I don't understand where the anger comes from, the article makes it clear it's talking about distributed systems theory.

Like someone else said, you can use at least once delivery and handle duplicate messages, but that's not quite the same as a distributed system guaranteeing that a message will be delivered exactly once.
I doubt their wristband can do a good job of tracking the exact position of each finger tip. The videos they've shown of it seem to show people using a thumb swipe motion or slightly twitching their muscles as input.
$73 for a Cortex M7 board + wifi is absurd.

The STM32H747XI part on it seems to cost $16~$20, once you get up to 10k quantities. That itself is quite the price. https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32...

This is definitely one of the strongest cases yet for RISC-V.
There’s also 3D Monster Maze from 1981, but the above says “genuine 3D”, which I think is fair enough for Elite.
And it's not like HDMI is an issue with a phone.
.... they said, misunderstanding the article entirely.

This isn't an opinion. This is a fact of distributed systems. An axiom, if you will.
What I HATE about these VPS deals from lowendbox is my past experience of getting burned multiple times on VPS systems that have terrible uptime, become randomly unresponsive and the the provider being unresponsive, shutting down, or disappearing one day. I don't know if things have improved but I tread carefully because at some point my time and sanity become more valuable. Id love a microinstance for the cheapest possible price but I dont have a way to measure average uptime reliability.

I agree 100% with your reasoning but not with the concept of sentience you are pleading. The concept I have in my mind involved the capacity for experiencing emotions, something I don't believe worms can do, but which I believe dogs, dolphins, whales and elephants might.

I had to look up the concept of Sapience in English, as it differ a bit from my native Portuguese. In Portuguese, "sapiência" means just Wisdom, something I believe is inherent to human experience and really out of bounds for AI, but it seems in English it can mean just the "capacity of applying knowledge", in which case we could argue an AI could potentially fit the definition.
Most of the clients I'm working with aren't interested in the base level of service. They are looking to further train the models for their specific use cases. That's a much higher barrier to switch than replacing an API. You've got to understand how the underlying models are handling and building context. This sort of customer is paying far more than the advertised token rates and are locked in more tightly.

I think the problem is that it has to be mild, and being an addictive substance, isn't always that easy. Have you not had a friend that had ONE drink, then became a completely different person from that point forward?

Multiply that with the fact that alcoholism not only affects the person drinking, but inherited trauma is a really terrible thing. My life expectancy and quality of life have both been severely impacted due to the drinking habits of someone who hasn't even been alive for 20 years. Maybe mild drinking will only impact your person with say: a shittier night sleeping, but a good night's sleep is one of the best things you can do for your health - and isn't even noticable perhaps until you get a few weeks in a row of it, believe me.

It's a fine line for advice, as I don't feel I'm a teetotaler, but being a culture where drinking is seen as "perfectly fine, if under control" is also not exactly the right message. My country (USA) can attribute more than a half a million deaths every year to alcohol abuse. That's not a stat one should ignore.

I actually haven't had a drink all year (and little last year). I've cut out sugary soda as well - which could be even more impactful to my overall health.

As a 40+ year old (that's scary to type), just some observations, given perspective.
Storing books digitally may make them more available in the present, but it will also likely mean that they're be less available at some point in the future. Physical libraries with physical books have proven they can last for centuries, sometimes for millennia. For all we know, none of our digital storage media lasts significantly longer than decades, and even to pull that off, you have to constantly invest in copying and duplicating your data. Hard drives of the seventies, floppy disks, countless numbers of tape formats, CDs have all gone obsolete or are in the process of getting obsolete and are only accessible with dedicated hardware that would be very expensive to replicate from scratch, if even possible. A book does not have to be decoded to be read; even microfilm is more secure than an SSD or spinning HD when it comes to readability in the future in a low-tech / no-tech / replicated tech scenario. When the grid comes down, tap water will become scarce and digital written literature will just vanish.
> I will straight up ignore and delete bug reports from non-customers.

Wouldn’t it be more helpful to leave the reports but not work on them actively? It might be that a paying customer finds the same bug anyway.
Support for the 8266 is going to be maintained for the main branch. It's still plenty powerful for running up to 1k leds.

I don't think this competes with fine-tuned models. One advantage of a fine tune is it makes use of your own data.

If so, then yes that's a shockingly large piece of the phone.

Edit: @rdsubhas: Your link confirms that the modem really does take up a sizeable portion of the entire volume of the phone. Now Apple's desire to get more control of it makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

So you heard a story in an interview from an executive. That's unlikely to be pure, unembellished truth. It's unlikely to even be partial truth. Better to think of it as a "truth adjacent" story made up for marketing purposes.

Amusingly, this exploit titled BlackLotus priced at $5,000 is cheaper than its likely namesake, the Magic: the Gathering card Black Lotus.

Gotta love apple fans of the type that would post on apple insider being all upset about possibly having to pay more for certified cables.

I don't know, I've had a lot of trouble with USB-C cables already. Even devices that came with their own cable (some expensive) that turn out to be flaky cables. If you're spending the big bucks on Apple stuff why not get certified cables.
Did you even read my comment? None of your provided alternatives solve the issue of the current market being in demand of such a wide set of skills outside of the "normal software development" practice (whatever that even is), that labeling all of those under whatever title will get some people butthurt.

If its a matter of gatekeeping the "developer" status, go read some actual job posts with the title DevOps in them. Its not uncommon to come across proficiency requirements in at least one programming language (e.g. Go/Python/Rust), used in automation libraries, cli tools or whatever, which the applicants are expected to "develop". Or is it just constructions that can be developed?
Yes it does and they do brutally profit from it.
In my opinion the core on which poke was made is actually much more interesting than the tool as such.

Poke is actually not only an editor, it's a domain specific language.

This language is built on top of something called GNU Jitter.

https://www.gnu.org/software/jitter/

Jitter is a very interesting project! It's a kind of generic interpreter that is—as the name suggests—almost a JIT compiler. It's something more or less "in between". Technically it's more an interpreter + VM. But it uses all kinds of (I think novel) tricks to remove the overhead of interpretation, which makes the code at runtime almost look like what a JIT compiler would have produced.

Some more internal info than on the GNU page on how this works can be found in the following slides:

http://ageinghacker.net/talks/jitter-slides--saiu--ghm2017--...
I don’t believe this was ever in question. You can think of the model as a giant function that takes a list vectors as input and spits out a new vector. If you want the model to remember something, you have to include it in the list of input vectors for every request going forward.
For large groups this large income and affluence are linked, also people living above their means are likely to lease. Similarly some wealthy people don’t have cars, but many people without cars are simply poor.
I know python's the future because of just how bad it's performance is. /S
Wouldn't that almost certainly lead to measurable loss of capabilities?
> happy with Go.

Yes. I've used multiple threads in Python. It doesn't work well. Some packages, including cpickle, don't work right with multiple threads because they have static variables internally. It can work; I've had multi-threaded Python code running for years. But it's not a good approach for new work.

Python does things the CPython naive interpreter can do easily, such as letting anything modify anything else. Any code anywhere can go find something far away in another thread in another module and mess with it.
Everything is a dict, so that works. This makes other things hard. Pre-compilation is hard. Optimizing is hard. JIT is hard. Threading is hard. You can't nail down stuff that probably won't change, but might.
that seems like inflated pricing. there are solutions from the internet for hsat (lofta and night owl) that used standardized devices. If you want a psg, there's a place in sacramento (axg sleep diagnostics) that will mail you the psg device for a night, for around 600.

My hsat was covered by insurance, but I had to self fund psg and my insurance wouldn't pay for it. My sleep specialist quoted 3k, I went with axg sleep diagnostics.
KiCad is a really excellent tool, usable for a pretty wide set of use cases, even professionally if you don't need a specific tool like antenna design or complex high speed trace matching.

All of the low and high code board houses will support either kicads project formats directly, or kicad supports standard Gerber format export.
Aho, just learned about him from Unix Memoir book written by Kernighan. Awesome dude.
This is a week old, but in retrospect what would you have done at that time? I don't know, I was fortunate as a child that my parents remained employed during that time. I wonder what they thought might happen. There must have been people that lost their jobs and then lost their houses, just like in 2008 and maybe even now with interest rates going up, one can't afford a new house. Everything's more expensive.

Do that, and the AIs have evolutionary pressure to misalign. Any AIs that refrain from taking all the resources available will be at a disadvantage and get weeded out.

At least with a single AI, there's a chance that it will leave something for humans.
It's not just a question of having models. Readiness means reaching production levels comparable to ICE models now.

If they are against a ban in 2035 it obviously means that it's not good for them, which can only mean that they think they cannot make it, either in volume or price point, or both.

You can use as much or as little of it as you want, which I know is not a satisfying answer.

I think the most common use case is as a build system, but in this context you aren't limited to building packages, you can also build "environments". By "environments" I mean a shell with certain packages available in `$PATH`. You would use Nix like other build systems in the sense that you specify the build requirements (which other packages, libraries, etc you need to build _your_ stuff), then you specify how exactly to build your stuff. Here "stuff" could be as little as a shell script or as much a huge monorepo.

There are ways to use Nix like you would use Ansible or Terraform, but I wouldn't say that's the mainstream use case of Nix.
$250k/yr is attainable, but it's a bit higher than entry level. Fresh out of college, $100k/yr seems a bit more reasonable. Which is still a whole hell of a lot, way more than I made, but I didn't go to Stanford/MIT/etc.
Every single year after 2014 has had a lower life expectancy than 2014, that’s a real indication that the long term trend has changed.

I maintain several open source projects, most notably:

Sparkmagic (https://github.com/jupyter-incubator/sparkmagic)

Sparkmagic provides jupyter magics and kernels for working with remote Spark clusters. It's used by thousands of developers and companies like Pinterest, Amazon, more!

I've been maintaining for the past few years and would love help!

KSOPS (https://github.com/viaduct-ai/kustomize-sops)

KSOPS, or kustomize-SOPS, is a kustomize KRM exec plugin for SOPS encrypted resources. KSOPS can be used to decrypt any Kubernetes resource, but is most commonly used to decrypt encrypted Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps. As a kustomize plugin, KSOPS allows you to manage, build, and apply encrypted manifests the same way you manage the rest of your Kubernetes manifests.

KSOPS is the most popular kustomize plugin and I'd love help maintaining and improving it from out GitOps fanatics.
