Super subjective. The most common thing I see is developers compensating for this by never writing original code and then demonizing others who do when they cannot read it. By original code I don’t mean config files or glue for frameworks.
Unless it's a Logitech headset, in which case 90% of the time the functionality of the mic-arm-mute breaks at the software level requiring various troubleshooting dances before anyone can hear you again. How they can be such a leader in the peripheral space but still produce absolutely the worst garbage software will never stop being annoying.
That’s true, but so far society had supported free markets.

So why are you not the one that has to adopt to society?
> Musk's lawyers called Dogecoin "a legitimate cryptocurrency" and the lawsuit, Johnson v. Musk et al., a "fanciful work of fiction."

They are absolutely calling the lawsuit frivolous. This in no way frames Elon as childish or naive.
Well they were more rigidly formatted for product consumption with Acceptance Criteria, Milestone->Epic->Story hierarchy creation to roll up to larger efforts, tags, Ready For Sprint criteria, standard story point sizing,

But very little detail on how one was technically to do the task, or time spent discussing technical options & tradeoffs.

Fog of war. You can't know what is happening. The only numbers I believe is the additional cost in $ and € the western taxpayer is burdened with. Because that is guaranteed.
No-one who has visited the Baltics (specifically Lithuania, my experience in the others is less extensive and less recent) could argue with a straight face that they were better off remaining under a Russian sphere of influence than as part of the European Union and the western world at large.
Not an expert but intuitively, let's say in classical stat's. If you add parameters the danger of overfit increases. So it is far from obvious (at least to me) why it works at all and why bigger is obviously better.
It seems like many of the TinyML use cases are hidden or somewhat dull, making it difficult to get people excited about it. Do you think there are ways to make TinyML more exciting and appealing to a wider audience? How can we better showcase the potential of TinyML and its ability to bring more privacy to IoT and give everyday products superpowers?
It's true, since the October Revolution the Soviets didn't actually serve their people

I had to throw away my nice Leatherman Micra (because of the tiny blade) at an airport because I forgot it was in my carry on, only to sit at a restaurant next to the gate and be given a full size serrated steak knife with my meal...
The imagined computers that looked so unrealistic in so many past science-fiction movies and TV shows no longer look... unrealistic.

Those imagined computers now look more like upgrades to current technology.

Imagine an AI model 10x, 100x, 1000x larger than GPT4.

That feels... surreal to me.
Finland joins NATO, Russia threatens 'counter-measures'
Aha, I missed that sentence. I’m not surprised, but that’s too bad.
More just that he wouldn't be so stupid. People just listed all the reasons it was a dumb, short-sighted idea. Which, turns out they were right, except about how stupid Russian leadership was. They seem to have honestly believed it would be a three day war, that Ukrainians were going to welcome them as liberators, and that they actually had all the equipment that they did on paper.
No, it wouldn't be on par with FAANG but it would still be 3-4x higher.

Yes, and that would be valid if the new initiative is intended to help more people. That should be obvious! GitLab laid off 120 employees. 120 people, that's it. Don't you think that this new initiative is meant to help more than that?
Russia is the one getting ruined over this war. You really think they do this on purpose? Western economies also suffer to some degree, but at the same time have also great benefits from it.
Show HN: Python Monitoring for LLMs, OpenAI, Inference, GPUs
Hi HN. I'm excited to share our AI-focused application monitoring and analytics for Python!
We've built it for apps that use LLMs and other ML models. The lightweight Python agent autoinstruments OpenAI, LangChain, Banana, and other APIs and frameworks. Basically by adding one line of code you'll be able to monitor and analyze latency, errors, compute and costs. Profiling using CProfile, PyTorch Kineto or Yappi can be enabled if code-level statistics are necessary.

Here is a short demo screencast for a LangChain/OpenAI app: https://www.loom.com/share/17ba8aff32b74d74b7ba7f5357ed9250

In terms of data privacy, we only send metadata and statistics to https://graphsignal.com. So no raw data, such as prompts or images leave your app.
That's a viable solution, but since GPU instances are expensive, you really want to make most of it. Ideally the GPU should be busy within 30 seconds of instance launch.

Okay, so, where is your training data? Is your training data in the layout which your training code can just linearly scan on S3? Or you have to transform them first? Or provision a dataset cache on-demamd? Is this data engineering or training orchestration?
People can have off days or struggle with certain tasks, but that doesn't mean they are intentionally harming the productivity of the team. In many cases they just need support, guidance or an opportunity to learn. It's highly likely that everyone initially joins the company with positive intentions.

However, exposure to cynicism and witch-hunting, such as labeling someone a "-10x engineer," can lead some people to become disillusioned and potentially adopt harmful behaviors intentionally. This can create a vicious cycle indeed.
It is a degrees of separation thing. Logically derived and proven to be effective. Very hard to argue with the last part.

I understand how someone who has been inconvienced might perceive it differently but that in and of itself is by design and "priced in" as the goal is not to make 100% of travelers feel good but rather keep 100% of travelers safe.
> So instead, Warden’s company is releasing a new sensor that can scan a QR code. The idea behind this $6 sensor is that appliance makers can put it inside their products as a method of getting devices onto Wi-Fi easier. A user could simply show their Wi-Fi QR code (I find mine in my router app) to the sensor and get their, say, fridge or washer online. I think it could be neat as a way to transfer a recipe to an oven, or specific washing instructions to a washing machine for particular items of clothing. Unfortunately, unlike scanning a new shirt and getting the machine to change its parameters to provide the best wash, many of the use cases for TinyML are going to be kind of boring.

Sorry. What’s the ML piece here? QR codes are from the 90s and don’t use any ML I’m aware of…

> However, at the conference Warden told me that, while he’d quickly discovered that the model worked, educating people about new gestures was tough. “No one knows that these gestures are available,” he said. This makes sense. If you remember back to the launch of the first iPhone and its touchscreen, the first ads and demonstrations focused on things like taps and pinch-to-zoom. Those weren’t intuitive; they were taught.

And if that were true, that’s solvable just like with the iPhone by having tutorials when you boot your TV. I think what’s actually the case that the CEO doesn’t want to admit is that he’s having trouble convincing TV makers this is a useful model when they’re all going into voice-operated UIs. That and the BOM cost makes it unappealing.
The Finnish people seem to disagree with your assessment. This was not a decision made on a whim
That's why I said „Baltic states, Poland and Finland“. As in, Baltic states + Poland + Finland.

Although historically Finland was considered one of 4 Baltic states. The 4 states that escaped Russian empire after WW1. It shrunk to 3 after WW2 and (re-)occupation of 3 of 4 of them.
Its the perfect comparison.

Reduced spending on goods and services reduces revenues, which reduces profits and often leads to lay offs.

Sure your individual decision to cancel Disney+ doesnt mean someone gets fired.

But if you and 500,000 other subscribers cancel, people do get fired and you contributed to it.
Where does this go onboard? Is the thought that this could be the last loaded container, or would these be mounted directly onboard somewhere?
Seems like measuring wind at the device instead of at the helm would be better.
Interested in where this goes, congrats on the launch.
Yeah, I’m not sure what timeline you’re posting from, but in this one the Russian invasion isn’t going so well.
People should absolutely be planning their work. Measure twice, cut once.
But then again, isn't agile supposed to be iterative?
Measure, cut, measure, cut, measure, cut.. repeat?

How much value do you get from putting 20 engineers in a conference room for 2 hours, 2-3 times per week? What if this is mostly just a head strong manager who enjoy monologuing his captive audience team?

Note I said "spent 30% of our time talking at high level management view about doing work rather than just technically planning & doing it"
This doesn't really help prevent building things that don't fit together at all. It barely allows you to surface technical dependencies and order of operations.
Making Teams Responsible: Unleashing the Power of Autonomy
> Third, we *give full responsibility* to a small integrated team of designers and programmers. They define their own tasks, make adjustments to the scope, and work together to build vertical slices of the product one at a time. This is completely different from other methodologies, where managers chop up the work and programmers act like ticket-takers.

China and Russia have terminal age demographics and HATE each other, Brazil helps define "middle income trap" for nations, South Africa is small, Saudi Arabia and Iran HATE each other, Argentina is the posterchild for rampant inflation, and India can't compensate for all of this.

Never mind that none of these nations, particularly the export-driven ones, can long survive economically without access to Western markets.

They're welcome to try and form a poorer, less coordinated market of antagonistic lesser economies who's sole defining feature is "we aren't competent or unified enough to compete with the West and that threatens our generally corrupt and authoritarian political classes!" If there's any shitshow it'll be watching it tear itself apart, presumably after Ray Dalio writes a best-selling book about how the decadent West is in decline and BRICS is inevitably the future.
China seethes as US chip controls threaten tech ambitions
Power and water providers could also have "their own standards" and refuse to provide service to people whose opinions they don't like.

See where this is going?

I prefer clear rules for everyone not - we have freedom of speech, but we'll find a way to punish you if you say something some rich person doesn't like.
how to become..
> Picking your fights is an important thing to learn too, throwing a fit over everything “wrong” can be terrible for everyone… even if you’re right every time.

Agreed, most of the times it does not even make any sense in the grand scheme of things to go on those kind of crusades. Also, don't be the saviour no one is asking for.
Your parsing it all wrong. Russia has land that rightfully belongs to Poland, Finland - and - the Baltic states.
I'd be curious if there are any strong programs where devs can provide mentorship to students interested in potentially becoming developers down the road (especially underrepresented). I find when you're just getting started there's a confidence issue where having a mentor rooting you on makes a huge difference.
The ability to have models that can run on resource-constrained devices does feel like a strong direction for ML to go in and could lead to greater user privacy. However, I’m unconvinced by the IoT-aspect of this tech. In many ways, it feels like IoT has “failed” to be as popular with consumers as expected and feels overhyped. Will adding ML to IoT devices really make a difference?
I'd be worried about the per-token-cost of using the OpenAI API when submitting an entire codebase. And, I'd probably only use it with open-source codebases.

I've been using chatblade, it has the nice feature of having a cost estimate call:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35223759

As to how to use GPT to help with coding, I wanted to be able to store the chatblade output to a file with a simple one-word call, so I wrote a wrapper that does that, and the first step was to submit this question to GPT:

> "I want to use Python's subprocess module in a script (that takes command-line arguments) to manage a call to an OpenAI API (that takes a variable amount of time to complete), and which prints output to the terminal, and I also want to tee that output to a specified file for storage. What do you recommend, from the perspective of an expert Python programmer?"

It laid out a nice template using several python modules, and I was able to write it in a single morning with a little bit of additional reference to pydocs and a few more questions about specifics, so now all the command-line queries get appended to a file with an up-to-date cost estimate attached to each one. And I'm pretty junior as far as programming goes.
> These are tests which require reasoning in humans. A human can't reasonably be expected to pass Quant or Verbal tests without reasoning about the information given, but--and I can't stress this enough--large language models are not humans.

A tale as old as time: "It is illustrated by the success of chess computers. In the 60s, it was said that computers will never beat people at chess, because that requires intelligence and computers aren't capable of intelligent thought.

When computers regularly started winning matches in the 80s, it was claimed that playing chess wasn't a test of real intelligence because computers could do it."

>Whether that specific question was in the training corpus or not, there are enough words in the sentence to suggest a positive association, including, significantly, "worthwhile." That alone possibly serves to narrow the answers down to A or B, with a preference for B, because it's more likely that "worthwhile" and "letter to x mother" are associated with "enamored" in general English-language text.

Yes, this is called reasoning so in other words the LLM is reasoning about language.

>Look, the whole point of these models is that its not easy or even possible to trace the path any given input takes on its way to output, but we know the principles used in development, so I think it's rather more of a burden to explain how the clearly-explained principles in LLMs result in something other than the obvious.

The inscrutability of the Matrices tells you nothing about it's reasoning ability. Given the correct prompt the LLM will also provide you with a step by step solution to the question it answered. There are also explicit reasoning prompts that these models are able to deal with.

I think it's pretty simple, if these questions are not explicitly in the training data it cannot have answered them correctly at such a high success rate with anything other than reasoning. You haven't given any alternative answer to how it does this either.
Yeah, checking C11 (FCD), “The typedef name uintN_t designates an unsigned integer type with width N and no padding bits.” My reading is that they should not have defined `uint8_t`. Probably they did so pragmatically (and maybe optionally) because so much code writes `intN_t` when they mean `int_leastN_t`, with 8 in particular. I don't think I've ever actually seen the `_least` or `_fast` versions used in real life.

(I've worked with multiple processors with MAU>8; I recall at least one with 24-bit ‘bytes’, though I've forgotten what domain drove that.)
Well if your skills and your job are considered static, yeah that’s equally risky. If you have the ability to keep learning and evolve with the job market, then no I think that’s still a much safer option.

Or maybe it’s better to say that starting a successful company is extremely reliant on your ability to have insight into what need in the market isn’t being filled and how to monetize that need (or what needs can be created, if you’re extremely ambitious). If you can learn quickly, navigating “what skills will existing businesses pay a premium for” takes much less insight in comparison.
It's a funny jump of logic a lot of people make. Sometimes people profit off of war, therefore all wars are secretly arranged by a cabal of war profiteers in back room deals. There's lots of variations but there's often a core true statement that is then used to leap to wild theories without any evidence.
"The illusion of safety has a positive psychological benefit, therefore we should be obstructive, suspicious and procedural" - or something

The fact that this works with so many people makes me warier of them than anyone it purports to protect me against. I don't feel safe being harassed by scowling officials in faux-important uniform.
You didn't say it outright, but it was exactly what I inferred from your comment as well. You said "toxic negativity" which comes across as a moral judgement, and anything that follows comes across as the result of that judgement.
Is it absolutely necessary that they use an apple laptop? Maybe it'd be easier to just send them a PC. If Apple doesn't serve their region, then what's the plan in the inevitable case that the laptop breaks? Ship it to an apple store internationally?
How are people using this? Is there a public beta or do they have special API keys?

To avoid spam, regarding the comment above - it all felt "surreal" to me until I realized how wrong ChatGPT is most of the time. Not only that, but I am writing in Python now (a language I don't use) and realize that while ChatGPT can give hints, it's definitely nowhere near replacing mid devs, let alone seniors and architects and I can't use it unless I know exactly what I am asking for. I bet all of the examples in the parent are highly, highly nitpicked and have 1000s of similar apps to copy. E.g. the movie app is my go to practice assignment for new devs to learn basic UI and APIs.

What does this offer over a place like twitter where the exact same conversation is playing out in public right now?
If it were directed at a particular person, sure. Otherwise, the author is describing negative traits and behaviors. Have you ever taken any management training? This is the quintessential way of discussing these sorts of things neutrally. Yes, you'd never want to call an individual a -10x engineer, but this is a random article on the internet. It's okay to be a bit headline-attention-grabby and stylistic so the article isn't dry and corporate.
A Large Scale Analysis of Semantic Versioning in NPM
I'm currently working in an MLOps engineer role at a mid sized company. I agree with that article that most of what I do is plain old software engineering. I don't think I'm interchangeable with any other backend dev though, because ML expertise really does come in handy here. I think the thing that makes it a bit specialized is that we are providing tools to allow our data scientists to self-serve model deployment and monitoring, but they by and large not expert web programmers. So we need to anticipate the kind of mistakes they're likely to make and provide opinionated tools that guide them into building sane software in the specific context of our company's technology. As well as direct support as needed.

We evaluated several commercial MLops tools and ended up going with generic tools that we already use, instead of something new that's branded for MLops. I.e. postgres + snowflake instead of a commercial feature store -- model deployment, monitoring, and alerting on the same platform as the rest of the company's applications -- etc. When we tried "ML" tools, they took so much work to adapt to our use cases that they really added no value.
With what? They have barely anything worthy left at this point. And their remaining money is melting like ice in the desert
> Wouldn't it be smarter to actually listen to what Russia is trying to say?

No. Nobody should care what Russia has to say about another country voluntarily wanting to (and joining) NATO

> the irony is that the expansion of NATO gives the US ability to force its will upon NATO members and its neighbors

All NATO members joined voluntarily. None of your business.

> the ambitions are not different from the ambitions of Russia.

I won’t even attempt to refute this.
I know it's a joke but running a heat pump will be two to three times more efficient a heating your space.
Assemblers for DSPs go so far as having arithmetic operators like "+" and "=" in their vocabulary, as well as allowing things like hierarchical braces as syntactic sugar if you want them. But you are intended to write assembly for them, so making it almost C-like has a lot of benefits.

The real answer is that nobody is supposed to write assembly, and the way the instructions are written is very easy to parse. The only core that doesn't have the "it's ancient and we didn't know better" excuse is RISC-V, IMO.
as someone who’s been in the industry for 20 years, and worked in ML data engineering at twitch, i think you’re just using new words (some are tools but so what) to describe moving data around and making it accessible to people who need it.
