> Is what you need stable enough? Does it break every few months with new versions of the runtime, either because of actual incompatibility (npm/node) or versioning shenanigans

But these are strictly package level issues, not package management.

The downside of node is the over reliance on flaky dependencies. The actual package management is good, especially compared to python.
One of the constants of human nature is the ability to adapt to new environments. It could very well turn out that the 20th-21st century idea of a job is less well suited to human nature than whatever comes after jobs are made obsolete. Even if that's not the case, I think we are smart enough as a species to figure out how to navigate those changes and make them work for us. It sounds like you disagree with this, which is why I think your view is fundamentally pessimistic.
As patriots, according to the crowded TShirt stand I drove by awhile ago.
SemVer dictates a new major version on every breaking change, but it seems this concept is alien to many go developers and they just release breaking changes in patch releases, at the detriment of the ecosystem.
The precedent worries me.
While it's important to hold leaders accountable for any wrongdoing - in or out of office, we must ensure that the legal system doesn't become a tool for political retribution. This could mean going for former US Presidents on behalf of crimes unrelated to their commitments in office - and that might become a game of "digging through the trash" of one's political opponents in order to stick a criminal charge.

Folks can assert that this charge is independent of his political career, but it will have vast implications and impact in that sector, and I'm worried what it'll mean for other Presidents and high-profile political individuals moving forward.
In an objective sense, more new releases today are continuations of existing franchises than they were in the 90s. See https://www.alexmurrell.co.uk/articles/the-age-of-average, which was on the front page earlier this week.

Subjectively, the few teens I interact with seem hyped for new installments in old franchises, updates to existing games with more content, or remakes of old classics. I don't think there's as much excitement for new franchises, because of a wave of overpromising over the last decade.

Oof, what? Toolbars were painfully visible, but spam extensions are just as common today. The difference is that today you can get them straight from the comfort of the top search result for any innocuous term.

The web today, without an ad blocker, is just as land-mined as it’s always been. And getting your spam code installed is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Hmmmm - I'm using ChatGPT-4, are you on 3.5?

i've laughed out loud at lots of GPT output and find it more engaging than most wetware next token generators.
How are you defining "optimization"?

If evolution didn't optimize anything, we'd have cats in the ocean and dolphins on mountains.
I didn’t keep it but GPT-4 once pitched me a very convincing cross-over between Die Hard and Jurassic Park culminating in a tense face off between a machine gun armed John McLane and a T-Rex.

The heartbreaking World War 1 movie involving Pokémon was less good however.
FWIW, the last few paragraphs of the response is something that I found was extremely common output for "DM AI". Whatever the situation, if it's kind of open ended, it'll say you did the thing really well, and you came to learn a bunch of new stuff, discovered who your friends really were along the way and everything was sunshine and rainbows.

You can get it to put out something a little more grimdark but you need to give it more context.

>the fact that I could take someone else's source code and change it to my will felt like a superpower.

The ability to go and tell your computer to do something and then see the computer do it is, in a word, mindblowing. I know it was mindblowing for childhood me.

My experiences with programming were HTML4.01 and CSS2, PHP, Ruby, and some more abstract forms of "programming" (RPG Maker!), and they all gave me a healthy if basic understanding of how computers work and how much power a keyboard and mouse can give to an individual with the proper will and gumption.

The design of Milvus 2.x follows this paper we published a while back: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.13843. In short, we used Pulsar to implement the write-ahead log, which provides coordination and a single source of truth across all Milvus components.

You're right in that it's a bit heavyweight, so we're working to see how we can make pub/sub and other cluster components lighter and more efficient overall.
It's worth noting that, for the past 15 years or so, only a small fraction of Apple's developer community has been able to attend WWDC in person. These fortunate individuals won the lottery and could afford the time and cost of attending. While it was great for them, it was not so great for everyone else who missed out on the opportunity to network with other developers and talk to Apple engineers. Moving the event online makes it much fairer for everyone.

Also, WWDC 2023 still includes an in-person event. The difference now is that attendees will no longer have exclusive access to labs and technical support.
Same here. I bought it on the strength of the rave reviews and found it incredibly boring. The world has a cool vibe but the gameplay and mechanics are so so clunky. Coming from the latest Zelda game, which was kinda similar (open world, you have a horse) but absolutely 11/10 spectacular in every respect, it felt like a huge step down.
yeah, what about Last of Us? It was great to watch on YT when it was released, but it's not particularly game-y.

If you have to ask people to come in and they don't want to, that's a signal that your office amenities and culture are failing to meet the expectations of the modern workforce.

People voluntarily go into iconic offices like those of Apple and Google, because those businesses have determined they have a legitimate need to have people in the office, those businesses have assessed the market demand for office perks and compensation levels required to attract people to the office, and have fulfilled those expectations.

Want people to come in? Fix your perks, fix your compensation, or fix your irrational market-defying expectations.

Don't have the power? Explain the problem to CEO / board. If the business wants to fix it, they will. If the business wants to stubbornly refuse to adapt to market changes, it'll die just like capitalism intended.

As a CTO, you should have a pretty good idea of whether the business wants to live or die before you even accept the job, and factor that risk into your consideration for the position.

Business is fundamentally about voluntary economic cooperation in pursuit of profit in a dynamic, constantly changing market. If the business isn't engaged in voluntary economic cooperation, or fails to adapt to the changing market, it can give up all rational hopes of profit.

Best of luck to you.
You're welcome. That makes sense. Here's one way to approach this: separate from your current principal and investment income, save some money that you do intentionally spend through in the first 6 months or so. Think of this as a transition fund.

It seems like right now you're trying to make the investment income fund everything, but it doesn't need to. Your income from the new consulting company will be lowest when you start, so give yourself 6+ months of cushion that you actually expect to spend. If you go 6-12 months and have spent the transition fund without finding new income/consulting clients, then you can go into the "ramen mode" as needed.

In practice, that doesn't seem like an actual situation: if you go 6-12 months without bringing in at least a few thousand dollars a month in client work, then do something else - don't keep going in ramen mode. That something else might be finding a partner who is good at sales. Either you have a viable consulting business after 6-12 months, or you don't and should do something else :) There's not really a case where the investment income needs to fund all your expenses indefinitely.

Chicago (Cook County) went 83% for Clinton in 2016, 74% for Obama in 2012, 76% for Obama in 2008, 79% for Kerry in 2004 and 68% for Gore in 2000. Biden's 2020 numbers were on the low side of average for a Democrat candidate there, probably didn't involve an unusual number of independents or disaffected Republicans...
Gonna ruffle some feathers here, but I suspect devs who spend more of the time with their hands on the KB and less of the time with their hand on the mouse will always have a place in their toolbox for software like ST. When you are heavily invested in KB-based workflows, e.g. CLI, shortcuts etc, software that doesn't feel slow and shit is a pleasure to use. VSCode is very featured, but it doesn't even approach ST in the 'pleasure to use' category. So is it fair to say that they're for different users and then is it fair to say that ST needing to compete with VSCode isn't accurate?
Any reason why your employer doesn’t just use incumbents?
Is it worth the money? I think what YC gets you, you can't find elsewhere for less money.

But maybe this industry is ready to be disrupted, and someone could create a YC competitor that automates things like office hours with ChatGPT4. In fact you could pitch this idea to YC, and YC could spawn its own successor.
I didn't say kind of censorship is the same, nor should they be. I said US platforms who want to operate in PRC should comply with PRC national security interests REGARDLESS of how it's "worse". It's happening in Vietnam and other highly censorial countries now without much issue. If didn't happen in PRC before because they didn't want to eat the cost.

What's moderated maybe different, but how it's moderated now is the same. US followed PRC platforms to build actual teams to "guide" content, PRC has extra step of formal content blacklist, no different than wiping out mass shooting videos. It's an expensive man powered team trying to ensure platform stays out of trouble. It's now technically / functionally / economically comparable, hence the comment about how western platforms started exploring ways back into PRC market AFTER they implemented PRC like moderation systems.

The comment isn't a debate about which censorship system is "superior". It's simply acknowledging US platforms got blocked because they couldn't compete on PRC rules that PRC companies had to follow.
It's not strictly wrong to let the story go wherever the players want as a DM, as long as you can keep up. In fact I'd say one of the traits of a good DM is knowing how much to let the story diverge from their plans, and to be able to think quickly and respond to the players on the spot. If the direction is entertaining, most parties are okay with exploring it. How tightly you keep the story on the rails is part of the game. In D&D sometimes you play the DM as much as you do their scenario.

What would be interesting is figuring out if you could configure ChatGPT's tolerance for divergence from the planned scenario. So that parties who prefer high walls can have them, while people who find your story thoroughly entertaining can experience it like you did.
I run a complete home brew system. I just keep max health low and combat potential low. Every time you receive an injury you suffer a noteworthy injury, die, or start dying. A random human with a knife should always be threatening… because it is. A guy with a knife is actually really scary. A guy with a gun even more so.

With such a system you tend not to have any meaningless fights, and when you do, you make it zany and high stakes and expect at least one person to suffer a severe injury or die.
That might be an understatement judging by the initial comments :) gets popcorn
It works very similar to what we call "creative" output from humans
This is typically done by taking the activations from a neural network. Activations from layer depths are generally preferred since they are more representative.

Even in the absolute worst case scenario for Trump (he loses and... has a massive fine? Is in jail for a bit?), this is a huge boost to Trump's campaign handed to him on a silver platter.

Honestly thats exactly what Democrats want too, as they would rather run against Trump than Desantis or a Never Trumper.
To be clear, my bean to cup machine does make great coffee! Could I make even better coffee with a fancy manual espresso machine and investing a lot of my time in learning and using and cleaning it? Sure, probably. But it's not really worth my time. I'd spend half my morning making coffee when all I really want is to be drinking coffee.

Anecdote: at my previous London flat, I had my bean-to-cup machine and one of my flatmates had a fancy manual machine. He knew how to use it, too, having once worked as a barista. But which machine do you think everyone actually used every morning? The manual one ended up getting put away in a cupboard most of the time! (... and my former flatmate still jokes about how much he misses my coffee machine when I see him, haha)

This isn't to say that a manual machine doesn't make better coffee than a bean to cup, in the right hands. But for most people, the difference isn't worth the time and effort required to get there.

> "software hacking can't fix the hardware limitations"

In this case, I believe it would, because the machine does make great coffee when it gets everything right. Specifically the grind time / volume of grinds in the shot. The issue is the consistency, and the software's poor behaviour in wildly changing the grind time when something throws it out of equilibrium (ie: change to different beans, or hopper runs out of beans)
Specify your actual dependencies only in setup.py/cfg and only ever write your requirements file from pip freeze.

Or junk all this and just use poetry, which manages both the abstract dependencies (pyproject.toml) and concrete ones (poetry.lock).
Interestingly, when Spain looted the New World of gold and silver, it did not make Spain any wealthier. The result was just inflation - the gold was worth less. The more gold that was imported, the lower the value the gold had.

It's just like the government deficit printing fiat money.
"To what degree should we defund the police? And how else might we limit their power?" are perfectly germane ways forward with a discussion.

I'll start: qualified immunity. Make police carry malpractice insurance. No more civil forfeiture. No military surplus.

It's a negotiation. I start at one extreme (defund), you start at another (status quo). We meet in the middle.
You can waste ours and hours to something in tikz which could probably be done in 30 minutes with SVG. Sigh.

All ConstitutionalChain does is execute a sub-prompt to GPT instructing it to make the desired changes. You could accomplish the same thing by including the same instruction in the original prompt.
I think the message was more that the aim of the project is not to teach kids to be software engineers but rather a platform for creativity and cognitive exploration.

That is not exactly incompatible with the Wikipedia page! It's a programming language and aimed at children but the aim is not to get your kids ready for Go and C++, it's to engage their brain in something positive.

(And of course, neither incompatible with the claim that it _also_ prepares kids to learn Go and C++)
I'm not sure how they have implemented memory for this chatbot.

OpenAI has probably a few tricks under their sleeve when it comes to how they handle the conversational aspect of the LLM. So, the interface.

I imagine this being a demo, it's probably more focused on the instruction part of it and doesn't really implement any fancy chat based memory and so on. Which is why prompts like "Do not repeat any of the names" might not work appropriately?
That sort of struck me with the linked story. They saw some wolf footprints, and then essentially summoned the monsters to fight by setting up an ambush in their current location.
I started out with something as simple as “Give me an idea for a starter D&D campaign suitable for a beginner 11 year old” and was happy with the results. I followed up with “Give details of the monsters and their stats and abilities for each encounter” and a couple of follow ups to fill in gaps. It mentioned a puzzle as part of an encounter and I just asked it for more detail and it gave a great explanation. I also asked “Give some example dialogue for each NPC in the village.” just for some inspiration on one of the settings. I am by no means an expert prompter but these sorts of conversations have yielded great results every time. One of my players also has some very specific background that they’ve written and I’ve been able to supply that and ask for some future encounters and plot points to support their story. I really couldn’t be more impressed - if you don’t like the initial output you can always iterate but I feel like I’ve been very lucky so far.
What evidence is there for competition causing extinction, the topic of the article?

The article is about species driving out unrelated species by evolving to be better competitors (not invading from elsewhere), not a species evolving due to internal competition among individuals.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is coming on May 12th, that's the only big banger I care about right now.
Making a substance that is both highly addictive and highly deadly/prone to instant overdose is pushing death.

Addictiveness, long term health detriment and short term OD chance should all be factored into legalization discussions.

Things that should probably be legalized ASAP: Psychedelics, cannabis

Things that may be safe to use occasionally but with high OD risk: cocaine (example). Perhaps with a prescription?

Things that have extremely high risk to long term mental/physical health and overdose: Heroin, PCP, meth, fentanyl

---

Point being: No, I disagree, even in a world where the choice of the individual should have high weight, there are some things that should not be allowed to flourish (particularly with profit motives) and must be stamped out.

I'm not a fan of the dome shaped LED bulbs like the one in the picture, maybe i just tried the wrong colour temperature, or it is something about how the light is distributed.

Luckily there are LED fillament bulbs that are awfully similar to the old incandesant bulbs, except they last far, far longer and have the same energy savings as standard LED bulbs.

I buy those now.

I'm roughly the same age as yourself and just got laid off last week, so I'm a bit early in my search but I'm experiencing the same things you've mentioned - quick, seemingly automated rejections with no feedback at all on why. I'm fully expecting the search to take a while, possibly months.

You didn't mention it in your post, but are you only looking for remote roles or roles in your city? You might have more luck if you broadened the search geographically, assuming moving is a viable option for you at this time. Also consider roles in more traditional industries like finance, insurance etc. - the work + stack might not be as glamorous and most likely won't pay FAANG level salaries (some hedge funds notwithstanding, perhaps), but it's something to consider.
