A very specific survey limited to Hired.com so not sure if this generalizes. Lot of times a percentage change is provided starting from a small base giving the wrong impression (RoR having high demand, NLP engineer top role etc..) With that, some non-obvious observations from this sample that popped out --

1. All remote roles settling to around $160K in the US. This can't be good for those in the high cost areas like SF, Boston etc.. where SOL is easily 2x of the lower cost cities. How will people in high cost regions make remote employment work?

2. How is blockchain engineer still a thing? I would have predicted more than a substantial drop, more like complete wipeout.

3. Rust bottom of the list (least favorite) in engineers favorite/least favorite language. I LOL'ed at this one, since any Rust topic opens with "most admired programming language 7 years a row" statement. Go third least favorite less favored than HTML, Java, C++ and SQL (!). Definitely an interesting sample group.
Egress pricing, for one.

fly.io charges an outrageous 2 cents/GB. Google is over 4x that.

At fly.io rates, 1Gbps average over a month is $6400/mo. Google is tiered and you’re looking at over $10k/mo.

For comparison, a cheap managed switch that can handle 1Gbps costs about $100, maybe a bit more if you want a nice one. A nice router is more. You can rent an entire rack, including power, cooling, and an unmetered 1Gbps for $300-$1k/mo (with maybe some wiggle room on both ends). You can buy a pretty nice server, amortize the price over a week or two, and still come out ahead.

You certainly get considerable value from a major cloud provider, and a lot of their other services are reasonably priced, but, depending on your workload, the egress prices and the corresponding Hotel California factor may make using a major cloud provider a poor proposition.
Drizzle-team/drizzle-ORM: TypeScript ORM for SQL
One of the issues here is how intellectual property works for pharmaceuticals. A new drug is patentable. An old drug already has generic competitors. We allow doctors to prescribe a drug for just about any reason (off-label use is legal), but only the new ones get investigated for effectiveness (because they are the most profitable as there is less competition).

No idea what the best approach would be.

how good is hired.com's performance? how many jobs they fill per year?

That's true that it needs more extensibility and zero-copy sharing of data, but in your example, are you serializing to something like JSON? Why does the end user need to specify the tags in JavaScript particularly and not something like JSON? Forgive me if I'm not understanding and you are indeed using JSON.

Some people have also said they switched to Unreal Engine 5 but I have a hard time finding definitive source of that. It would be a major change since the original was made in Unity.

Can you provide a source for this? Everything I have read suggests they have "considered" or "are considering" or "could consider" and nothing suggests any aid has occurred.
CG-NAT (NATing centrally at the ISP's internet edge) is cheaper/simpler than something like 464xlat (NATing v4 locally over v6) since you can do the former on 2 boxes instead of 20,000. That said the 2nd option is much cooler :).

"Flipping the sign" implies the existence of an internal representation that we can't know about from the outside. Since all we see are the words, I prefer to call it a plot twist.

Language models are trained on a large subset of the Internet. These documents contain many stories with many kinds of plot twists, and therefore it makes sense that a large language model could learn to imitate plot twists... somehow.

It would be interesting to know if some kinds of RLHF training make it more likely that there will be certain kinds of plot twists.

But there are more basic questions. What do large language models know about people, whether they are authors or fictional characters? They can imitate lots of writing styles, but how are these writing styles represented?
Funny reading some comments. I currently live in the northern part of Kirkland, in a very average suburb.

This isn't rich people houses folks, these are middle (possibly lower middle) class houses. Most people here didn't pay 1M for their homes, they most likely paid a very affordable price many years ago. It's worth repeating that house prices increased an average of ~40% since the beginning of Covid. That should help to put prices on perspective.

Sure, and we shouldn't gloat about either case. Ideally should be vaccines and treatments for HIV, so that someone who had too much to drink and had sex without discussing their medical history could be treated like a jerk rather than a full criminal. It could be that we can think of no other way to safeguard ourselves, but we should keep thinking how we can respect everyone preferences. Maybe HIV positive bars where everyone understands issues from the start.
Exactly. It really depends on the game and number of timezones, though. I play mostly FPS and for me 50 ping is the upper limit of acceptable latency

Your job sure does sound depressing, and it's not one I would succeed at, but if you can power through and turn this product around that's a hell of an accomplishment you'll have to be proud of.

I'm curious what you'd like to do next. You could probably have a great career doing these sorts of turnarounds repeatedly across companies, maybe even as a consultant, but would you want to?
300k isn't 300k, as we all know. Probably want to drop 40k in 401k, maybe some in an HSA, probably paying for health insurance. Then the Fed and potentially state/city want their share, which is about a third if you're lucky, closer to half if you're not. Then you're paying outrageous rents, transportation/parking costs, etc.

It's easy for me to believe that a family making 300k in Seattle could be living paycheck to paycheck without being extravagant. Definitely not frugal, though, either.
Not new version, but reliable version. I'm not a bleeding-edge fanatic, but I was testing IPv6 during the 6bone[1] phase while networking was not in my scope. It simply made sense to get to know the future.

The person who's comment I was responding to, is in denial 20 years later because they feel comfortable with IP addresses they can remember.

The Waluigi Effect just sounds like the Imp of the Perverse. It’s interesting to see it showing up here, but if you think about it, not a huge surprise that a system that’s optimised for producing results in a particular direction would have the innate ability to calculate results in the diametrically opposite direction.
I remember what it was like when lots more home computers were routable from the public Internet, because having a NAT router between them and there wasn't a nearly-100%-adoption thing yet. In fact, I worked at an ISP (dial-up and DSL) in that era.

It was indeed a shit-show. Adding a NATting router to those set-ups instantly increased their security tremendously. Sure you could use a proper firewall, but the router w/NAT Just Works.

Running a large scale service is completely different I think though. My understanding is that most DMCA notices are automated and a good fraction of those not actually valid. Similarly, these systems from the provider side already have automated DMCA takedown mechanisms. The bigger problem is what happens when the counter party files a DMCA counter notice - now you are aware there's potentially infringing content but you're not allowed to take it down. Of course, I'm sure this law takes the DMCA into account.

The trickier part though I'm referring to is not DMCA but community moderation. Someone flags a picture of your child bathing naked as child porn. Is the provider now on notice as having been informed? How do they validate the circumstances of the photo to make sure it's yours? These aren't easy questions and looking at it through the DMCA lens is insufficient because this law goes way beyond that. The section 230 lawsuits in front of SCOTUS right now are not dissimilar to what DSA is trying to regulate and yet I don't see extra clarity here.
Although I'm not one of them, I don't think you can call something that many people do "not possible".

Again, it really depends.

If you're doing a research or fun project, where failure has no consequence? Then yeah, mess around, move stuff, go fast, break things. Worse is better.

There are so many situations where there are, consequences, though. Either because failure is pretty dang bad, or (perhaps more commonly for our industry) a mistake will increase our tech debt. Our failure to spend a few extra hours thinking it through in the short term might lead to hundreds of hours of tech debt or (in the extreme case) our entire project/company to fail in the long run.

Your comment feels like an oversimplification of the post.

The post doesn't contend that LLMs are capable of role-playing - that's basically the foundation that it builds off of. But saying "LLMs are good at roleplaying" fails to describe why, in the cases the author describes, an LLM can arguably be bad at role-playing. Why does it seem easy to have an LLM switch from following a well-described role to its deceptive opposite, and then often not back the other way?

How also do you explain the author's claim that attacking an LLM's pre-imposed prompt with the Waluigi Theory in mind is particularly effective? If an LLM is just good at role-playing, why doesn't it play the role it has already been given by its creator, rather than adapting to the new, conflicting role (including massive rule violations) provided by the user?

You’d just use the VPS as a proxy with a publicly accessible IP, and tunnel the connection back to your home. That would add latency that might be undesirable for a game, but maybe not.

Incentivizing people to own their primary residence tax-free kills almost 90% of the Georgist incentive structure. The only justification for doing that is if you consider homes an investment asset. Almost all homeowners own only one home and would have the exact same incentives to advocate development restrictions. Governments would forego almost all of the land value tax and be forced to continue with high levels of other less efficient taxes.

I have reviewed the logs for our video CDN and out of 150,000 sessions, only 48 were identified to be using IPv6. These sessions were identified by the user-agent Roku/DVP-12.0 (12.0.0.xxxx-xx), indicating that the recent update to the operating system now supports IPv6.

Software development as a whole is iterative, but you don't always get the chance to iterate on individual things.

If you and I are working on Project Blahblahblah with a team of 20, sure, we're iterating that. But the crazy bad, hacky, barely-works spaghetti code I crammed in there for feature ABC? It might be a long time until we get to iterate on that particular ball of tech debt.

I think maybe that's why I'm burning out on this industry. It's ship, ship, ship, new, new, new and never a chance to iterate for quality.

The Unreasonable Sufficiency of Protocols
There is a cost there though as mentioned in the forum post. The ISP in question is using CGNAT, but they need more IPv4 addresses even with CGNAT to support higher loads. CGNAT only reduces the number of IPv4 addresses required, it does not eliminate the scaling.

However, I do think IPv4 is honestly pretty good for local or even WAN networking for organizations. You're unlikely to ever hit limits in the reserved blocks and it's much easier to read and work with IPv4 addresses. Maybe we need easier configs to block IPv6 except for external addresses?
This was standard in US cities in the early 20th century (prior to 1920) before the value of the real estate (and taxes) and automobiles changed the model. Mixed use may be coming back-California recently passed a state law allowing for it, I believe . Here is one article on the topic of mixed-use:

464XLAT still requires IPv4 boxes on the edge to translate IPv6 traffic back to IPv4. Whether that is two boxes or 20,000, the same is true for other CG-NAT solutions. Someone somewhere is bearing the cost of translating.

>Even if the low income families can't buy the new units, the people who do vacate their old units and there is less demand for the unit those low income families currently occupy.

You're making the mistake I mentioned, confusing demand for actual housing with demand for real estate. It will indeed marginally depress demand for housing, but capital can step in and absorb the marginal supply, for rental or other purposes. As long as there is more demand from capital than supply, real estate prices will stay high even if actual demand for low income housing remains stable or even declines.

>This is like banning supermarkets buying from farmers.

Farmers are selling perishable goods, not income-producing assets. As long as real estate is income-producing, it will be a viable investment, and as the old saying goes, they aren't making more of it. So whatever the dynamics of the actual housing market are, the underlying dynamics of the real estate market will tilt the table toward capital. And the sharper the income gradient is in society, the worse the problem will become.
Thanks for your work on this.

This is important as fisheries globally are over-fished. The scale of the problem is not even known right now. Chinese fishing boats roam the globe taking fish for consumption in China and depleting stocks everywhere they sail including by fishing in marine sanctuaries.

Fish as healthy food has become a big deal in the last few decades and demand grows so the fish have to come from somewhere. If you don't protect your fisheries then collapse of global fish stocks will only be one more domino in the collapse of entire ecosystems.
