I'm certainly not the foremost expert in JavaScript build systems, but this just seems wrong.

Reducing build times (or eliminating the build step) by moving things to runtime is a great idea for a debug build/mode. But why is it a good idea not to have separate release build to optimise for runtime performance?
I asked it 3 questions about distributed systems, 2 of the answers were so fundamentally wrong that they would lead to a complete misunderstanding of the subjects, and if you tried to implement systems based on that understanding they would be broken in hard to detect ways.

The problem is that an LLM can only be as reliable as its training material.

For example I wrote a blog post on the 2 generals problem. In the comments there is more text from inexperienced people asserting that a solution exists than there is text from my original article.

An LLM trained on that article and comments will always be wrong.

LLMs can be trained on smaller vetted training sets sure, but they also currently require massive amounts of data and there’s no guarantee that just waiting a few months or years will improve reliability enough to fix these issues.
I don’t think he’s full of it. Maybe some of it is time/place depending?

I was a teenager in 2005 looking for summer work. Over 3 years I worked at a couple different retail places and some fast food (not Starbucks but similar).

We think this is the fairest way to evaluate candidates. I had one standout interview that was very gotcha centric. I didn't think the way the interview was conducted was fair or respectful of my time. I also don't think it did a good job of assessing how well or how poorly I would have done in the job. It seems indicative of poor management. I think it's very important as managers that we respect people and their time, always. This feels like as fair of a way as we've come up with so far to do that. We do two technical exercises, diagramming being one of them. We've had really great results and it takes ~1 hour. That seems fair.

Those merges from master into a feature branch are useful though. If there is a conflict that you have to resolve in your feature branch, then there is a clear place where you did it, and that can be double checked. If you are rebasing, then when I review your feature branch, I have no idea if you had conflicts, and if so, how many and how you resolved them.

git should be used like an audit log, where you can trace the thought process and actions of your developers. Erasing that by rebasing/squashing for a "clean" log isn't worth it in my opinion.

I'd much rather see 40 commits across two weeks on your branch than one "clean" commit with everything. With the 40 commits, I can trace back through your work, and understand your challenges (sometimes seeing 5 commits in a row with 'trying to get X to work' is really useful).

Now, do I want all that detail once your branch is in master. Absolutely Not! I just want a single merge commit that brings in your whole branch. Unfortunately, `git log` shows everything, which is why I advocate for `git log --first-parent` being the default.

If git log's default behavior wasn't so terrible, I don't think this argument would even come up so often.
> If I call the cops they ignore me. If I call the tow company they come and tow away the offending car. Is this bad?

Yes. Here in Poland they'd get ticketed at the very least. It's easy money for them, pads their stats, and actually helps people. If it is somewhere where it blocks traffic (whether to house, pedestrians or otherwise) it would most likely also be towed. The company is contracted by city but they just do the towing, not law enforcement.

I always ask for a "regular haircut", but the haircuts I get with that request can differ a lot. Sometimes I get a quick buzz around the ears and neck, and other times the barber chooses to use scissors for that and really takes his time to get everything looking neat. In all cases the haircut is satisfactory and I'll come back (I've been going to the same barber for 10 years), but when he's in the mood to take his time I'll give him a tip.

> charge for what it costs

I think that's a bit tricky, I don't think the true cost of a haircut is fixed day to day. On slow business days when there is no line, a slow and careful haircut doesn't really 'cost more' than a quick haircut because the daily throughput is the same. But on days when there are a lot of people lining up for cut, slow haircuts will reduce throughput and therefore have an opportunity cost. (This is for a walk-ins only barber.)

It’s basically a video where the BBC claims the exact opposite of what they were reporting before, and denies the very things they repeatedly said before, until the UK government got actively involved and influenced them to change their narrative:

2014 BBC for example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5SBo0akeDMY

During 2014 Maidan revolution: “There are far right neo nazis in Ukraine, they are the most organized and active part of the revolution, here is a whole documentary about that where we go interview them about their goals.”

2017, 2018, 2019: “Paramilitary groups like Azov and Dnipro etc. contain many far-right nationalist fighters, about 20% admit to holding neo nazi beliefs”: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2018-07-09/ty-article/ri...

And then 2022: “Azov has hardly any far right, they are in fact just a part of the official armed forces of Ukraine, and it is the Russians committing all the atrocities in battle”: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-61205685

I am sure there is truth on all sides but certainly a wide gulf between what they reported then and now.

BetterHelp has been around for a while now, and I'd be curious if it's actually helping with long-term mental health outcomes, on an individual and population level.

I learned the hard way in March 2020 that PayPal doesn't do this anymore either. I was helping an organization raise money for a Charitable 5k when COVID shut everything down.

This was when everyone thought the world was ending still so we didn't think to change it to a virtual 5K. Refunded all payments on a couple thousand dollars and was out around 4% in processing fees.

> Toyota is infamous for their resistance to BEVs and their insistence on sticking with cars that have ICEs.

Is that actually based in reality? Toyota's hybrid vehicles that have ICE engines also have battery packs, and the newer hybrid models have battery packs approaching 6-7 kWh. These aren't even classified as PHEVs.

Their PHEVs have battery packs upwards of 10 kWh (between 10 and 20 kWh) and sell like hot cakes.

So if you were to look at the aggregate capacity of all the batteries Toyota is shipping with their vehicles, I would bet it's at least average or actually higher than other manufacturers, e.g. Ford or Chevy or VW.

Basically, unless you have the raw numbers for comparison about aggregate pack capacity, your whole point is kind of moot.
A bit more charitably: sometimes you might want to open up a DEB file and poke around in it in a system which is not Debian-based. AUR package authors do this on Arch, for example, as do the maintainers of the Nixpkgs entries for some proprietary software which is only distributed upstream as DEB files.

So the Linux desktop ecosystem as a whole doesn't necessarily know ahead of time which way you want to use a DEB file.

Of course, an archive manager which can detect whether you're on a Debian-based system or not, and appropriately choose whether or not to show you an 'install' button after opening the archive, is very much possible and would be quite nice.

If working doesn't give you any meaning, your job sucks. People tend to like validation, participating in society, creating value for others, etc. Work is usually the best vector.

How many things have been broken by doing that in practice though?

I mean seriously... in node/npm, I've seen way too many times where a minor version broke things in practice... so we go to patch level by default, usually safer... In the end, we still wind up needing tools, like with github to alert to issues that require larger bumps.. Oh, your application hasn't been updated in a year, and you now have two major versions of LibraryX to run through... Next thing you know, you've spent literally three weeks to update your node/npm/react project... and even then, some packages were too painful to update, so you just deal with the warnings anyway.

And, now you've concentrated targets to the latest minor/patch versions in packages... where if everyone is pinned, the targets are mostly unknowned from outside without deeper inspection.

Just saying, I'm not sure auto semver with lockfiles is really a win over just locking to begin with.

You do not have that freedom in the USA. The Constitution is very clear on this question: Congress has the right to demand your forced employment. Congress hasn't seen fit to do so for many decades, but it has every right to do so and you have no de jure right to refuse employment.

> I clicked the first link, which argues that free markets are bad because central banking has failed.

You may have clicked on it, but I don’t see how you got that message from it. It argues that free markets are good, and that problems attributed to “market failure” are instead failures of other things (like central banking) that are not features of free markets. (All of the other pieces argue variations on the same thing; its plays a central role in the Mises Institute’s economic dogma.)

Not a problem if they all use the same package format! Flatpak can potentially support competition without imposing fragmentation here.
Not the poster you replied to but when I was a teenager I had summer jobs at Walmart and Kroger and it was super easy to get/leave a job (this was like 2005). And at that time I was a bumbling teenager.

there's gotta be non-ai ways to sanitize input before it even hits the model.

The reason that the vastly complicated black box models have arisen is the failure of ordinary language models to extract meaning from natural language in a fashion that is useful and scales. I mean, you can remove XYZ string, say filter for each known prompt injection phrase, but since the person interacting with the thing can create complex contextual.

That is really a good point offering consultation to companies would be a good idea. But what I am afraid is that most companies, don't consider accessibility something they have to do if it is not a physical accessibility even though ADA requires companies to treat the two aspects the same. Digital accessibility is one of those things most companies put "nice to have"category but aren't necessary, I can't count how many big companies that I've used their site/app and it is not accessible at all: luckily I have a few remaining sight, so I can struggle to magnify components on the screen to see, but what do you think a totally blind person would do?

ActiveLab: Active Learning with Data Re-Labeling
Labeled data is key to train models, but data annotators often make mistakes. One can collect multiple annotations per datapoint to get a more reliable consensus label, but this is expensive! To train the best ML model with the least data labeling, a key question is: which new data should I label or which of my current labels should be checked again?

ActiveLab automatically answers this question for you, allowing you to train the most accurate ML model via a smaller number of total annotations than required to reach similar accuracy with popular active learning methods. ActiveLab is highly practical — it runs quickly and works with: any type of ML model, batch settings where many examples are (re)labeled before model retraining, and settings where multiple annotators can label an example (or just one annotator).

This is an academic issue, ”a solution in search of a problem” as almost all the rest of academia is. As such, it never stops at a reasonable, meaningful equilibrium; it has to be kept pacing, moving forward towards more and more ridiculous extremes.

An academic, in order to stay relevant, needs to keep pushing the invisible and mostly inexistent boundaries that they perceive in whatever field they are involved in. If they’re faced with a set vocabulary today, then tomorrow they’ll have to come up with an ”aha! Found a new offensive word” to position themselves as a relevant, meaningful part of this strange, ethereal movement. It’ll never end, because the movement itself needs its members to keep also pacing forward and motivated in order for itself to remain existing.

The exact same could be said of any academic movement; the difference is that, in most cases, it mostly does not spill into reality. Other than a bit of research funding money, meaningless academic ideas don’t hurt society much. In this case, however, the academic movement is dead set on spilling all over everything, using the most aggressive possible strategies of shaming and reputation murder in order to push down its opposition.
I remember my parents doing this too, I think there may have been some national campaign or promotion at the time to get the marking pens for free.
From what I've found there is no definite proof of it's origin. Saying whites or Latinos created it has equal validity. Can you provide your source? Not attempting a gotcha here, just curious
Followup post has it figured out. I code initially on the SnowMeow laptop, so I can have retro AUs and VSTs: that also runs an old Parallels which runs a Windows VM and a Linux VM, where those VSTs are made.

All that stuff is old, the laptop's air-gapped and never talks to the internet, and I bring the code over on an SD card to the Mac Studio where I do the signed versions of AU and VST, make the videos, etc.

I also resist 'latest versions' of things quite hard. Generally that's not what I want. I want stuff where it's working consistently. Even my web browser is a Chromium picked specifically so I can be sure it will get old and go out of date until _I_ have a reason to change it, which will doubtless happen but it'll happen when I want.

I can't imagine running Snow Leopard but also feeling like you have to run the newest of everything. It can't even run a remotely current web browser. You have to already have programs that will be exactly what you want and need. Then, you use those and get used to them, like cooking with an old chef's knife you've had for decades :)

Not sure why the AI community has a weird obsession with being non-profit (or not). It's not like non-profits can't be evil, and it's not like OpenAI has done anything particularly egregious, either.

What we do need is more weights being released in the public domain (hard to find even on Huggingface), easier ways to train models locally, better pruned models for embedded device inference (e.g. running on a Jetson Nano), easier ways to fine-tune for specific contexts, and so on. My big gripe, and for obvious reasons, is that we need to step away from cloud-based inference, and it doesn't seem like anyone's working on that.
Well that and per the article it seems more like the rest of the world that should be concerned considering it's acknowledged that in most of the domains listed it's a competition between the US and China with everyone else as an after thought. I'd be more worried if I was the EU or Scandanavians personally. They're generally the most vocal about preserving their independence and way of life from other major powers in a way you don't see out of SEA region nations. I guess African and LaAm nations could stand to be worried as well but nobody expects them to perform including themselves.
Exactly. Not to mention high level business logic could be inferred from system architecture.

Sure sounds like a good way to perform recon on a target company.
> Last time I went in to one of these as an experienced engineer I probably said all sorts of things they didn't want to hear like there's no point building a scalable system until you're sure your product has traction.

So.. you argued with the interviewer about their question being 'invalid'. That's not going to be a winning strategy. If you have to insist on making comments like these, a better way to express it would be:

"Well, I know the context here is that we're designing a new, small-scale system. In cases like these, I think it's normally most helpful to get an MVP out-the-door, and not worry about scalability. However, in a situation where we _were_ concerned about scalability, I'd start by..."

> That and I kept trying to extract imaginary requirements.

This is more on the interviewer. If you ask for requirements, they should provide them. If they've done it a while, they might have a generic set, but they should at least be willing to make them up on the spot. In lieu of that, there's no rule that says you can't make them up on your own. E.g.:

You: "How many concurrent clients do we need to support?"

Them: "I dunno, just make it scalable."

You: "Ok, let's assume it's 10k and we want to make sure we can scale that horizontally in a roughly linear fashion up to 100k.."
One of the "heavy practice/coaching/leetcode grinding" signals is when the interviewee immediately dives into proposing a solution and discusses facets of that solution in great detail without bothering to ask clarifying questions or discussing assumptions and the risks/consequences of those assumptions.
Flatpak doesn't prevent anything, but it does provide a way for users to avoid those bad things.

The format is likely to give Linux users a slightly more BSD-ish separation between core system software and third-party applications, going forward. So 'avoid mucking about with third-party DEB and RPM files' is likely to become a rule of thumb for end users.
SARK seems to have outperformed ARK regardless unless I'm reading the wrong graph (which I might be to be fair)
