It's counter productive to get into debates with people who call one side of the conflict as "orcs", it just shows that you've got skin in the game to object to everything that doesn't align with "Ukraine's right and is winning" narrative. But just to show your bias once again here's a few points:

> What history does Russia have in Romania (it still occupies Transnistria)?

It has the same common history with Carpathian Ruthenia land that Ukraine isn't willing to return to Hungary and Romania.

> Whenever someone points out what Russia is doing, they immediately praise the US for doing a lesser version of the same thing.

That's to show you that double-standards exist and that nobody seems to care as long as it serves their agenda.
What Wayland-using system does not run an X server?

There are hundreds to hundreds-of-thousands of applications that do not have a native Wayland version? Are you suggesting that you would not run any of them either?
How many times has David resigned this way? Twice!

I have seen probably close to 100 people give notice in my life. Many get the door as soon as they resign. Many get 2x the workload while the wrap things up. This is straight up naive advice.

One guy gave his 6 weeks notice, his last day would be two weeks after bonus payout. He was a super critical eng on a component in a system that brought in a couple hundred million in revenue. He had started documenting the systems, setting up meetings. HR informed the team that his last day would be the following friday. In 5 working days. It screwed the team and it screwed him. There was no backsies.

Why anyone would trust a corporation not to fire them immediately is being willfully naive. If one does do this, have all your ducks in a row and expect your last day to be the moment you submit your resignation.

Check with local labor laws and structure your resignation for maximum "impact" for whatever your definition of that word is.
That would be somewhat more palatable to me.
There's no fast hires for that kind of position, especially in the non-profit space. You meet everyone, you have long and deep conversations on what the goals are on either side, whether all the necessary things are in place so it can work, etc. I've been on the sidelines of hiring for similar positions and I've seen it take 5-10 months from beginning the conversation to closing the deal. You also tend to end up hiring from a "scene" so the candidates aren't really unknown, they've been around the block, working in the partner ecosystem before. The skill set is not interchangeable, you are bringing in a style, a mindset, a network. A life.

The people who take these kinds of positions are busy and end up traveling and communicating a lot. They don't need that much money for their private lifestyle, their goal isn't to retire in a beachside villa.

Compensation is not nothing, and there is plenty of negotiation, of course, but it's hardly the priority in this transaction. It's whether it makes sense.
Bare metal? LPAR anyone?
I think you need to feel out the culture of the company and how knowledge transfer would work out to determine how much notice to give.
Thank you! I learned something new today.
They went public in March 2019 so they basically only had a year as a public company before COVID hit and dropped revenues off a cliff.

They were probably assuming that by now they’d be back to a pre-COVID level of ridership by now.

The landscape has changed dramatically since they IPO’d and unlike Uber they don’t do food delivery which probably softened the blow to Uber.
I have been playing with all the local LLaMA models, and in my experience, the gains that are touted are often very misleading (e.g. people claiming that 13B can be as good as ChatGPT-3.5; it is absolutely not) and/or refer to synthetic testing that doesn't seem to translate well to actual use. Using GPT to generate training data for fine-tuning seems to produce the best results, but even so, GPT4-x-Alpaca 30B is still clearly inferior to the real thing. In general, the gap between 13B and 30B for any LLaMA-derived model is pretty big, and I've yet to see any fine-tuned model at 13B work better than plain llama-30b in actual use.

So I think that 65B may be a realistic estimate here assuming that OpenAI does indeed have some secret sauce for training that's substantially better, but below that I'm very skeptical (but still hope I'm wrong - I'd love to have GPT-3.5 level of performance running locally!).
Tech illiterate people are barely installing new apps on their phones, let alone separate app stores. Almost everyone I know runs Android and I've never seen F-Droid or Aurora or any other alternative app store on their phones.

And then copy “enough” data on their computers to have a realistic test and make sure you have some type of script so sensitive data isn’t on their laptops and ensure schema changes are constantly propagated to each developers workstation. This isn’t even mentioning if you have a commercial database like Oracle where you have to deal with licenses.

Easy solution - give the users tools to filter what they don't want to see individually rather than decide for them.
It was in comparison to Apple's 4.15% and Wealthfront's 4.3%. So that's .1 - .25%. And I think most would argue that, at max, you should have a year's bills in cash. So that's like $30k - $80k. Assuming standard marginal income tax rate of 30%, that extra interest is $30 - $400, so $21 to $280, and Robinhood's $60/yr loss, so -$39 to $220. Maybe kind of worth it at the high end, but I guess I should also then mention that 4mo T-bills pay 5.17%.
How much more generation do we actually need. For one, charging typically does not happen when the grid is at peak load, so a lot of spare capacity is available. Second, it takes approximately the same amount of energy to refine a tank of gasoline as it does to completely charge an EV, so it'll be a wash.
I would bet that building a "self-aware" agent from an LLM might be trivial.

Add:

- an ability to do actions(tasks)

- an episodic memory to record it's actions and report on those actions

- a database of the agents abilities and goals.

It's not AGI but would be self aware, I think.

That sounds like you're coming at this from a similar standpoint to one of the other major religions which I would rather not mention as I don't want to start a religious war here.

In Islam you're not hated or judged for what you call your true feelings. You are however instructed to gain mastery over those feelings and make them subordinate to you rather than the other way around. Fasting is one of the things that can help with that. As for feeling invited, honestly I get why you may think that (because a lot of Muslims do a frankly terrible job of marketing) but that's not how Islam looks at people, it doesn't look at people as unchanging monoliths, instead you are seen as a blank slate and whatever actions you do impact your life here and the life hereafter. Basically your inner reality is between you and God. Islam fully understands people have all sorts of desires, lusts, etc, the thing is in Islam you aren't cursed for having those desires, but for acting upon them rather than gaining control over them. HTH.

Lago(YC): open-source Usage Based Billing – is hiring an Infrastructure Engineer
And one of the puzzling things to me here is what all those engineers are doing. I mean, if you're making bad hiring decisions, engineers can happily create work for one another and themselves, so I get where the labor could be going. But it does not look to me like Lyft and Uber are particularly feature-filled.

I suspect that if rideshare companies ever get to being profitable, we'll see the emergence of white-label rideshare software that gets made for a tiny fraction of the cost of what Lyft and Uber spend. Because that'll be an organization with a real incentive to keep costs down.

"Consent requests" will never work.

Until all web browsers present identical fingerprints and reveal no identifying data about the user, tracking will take place, whether laws mandate consent or not.

Opt-in, opt-out, none of it matters as long as we're browsing the internet with our unique identities on full display to every site we visit. Thinking that the solution is to ask companies nicely to please not use that information is delusional.
Except developers wanted an API and native apps - careful what you wish for! All the argument over progressive web apps could have been avoided, along with Apple being on board.
Substack disappointed me because you can't do this. They remove content access if you do not have an "active" subscription. You don't have to pay again to "reactivate", but the paid content is locked until you do.

horrendous advice.
US person here who has participated in a lot of online advice/mentoring forums. I've never once seen a tech company immediately "fire" someone who says they're resigning like the parent comment claims.

The only exceptions I can think of were when people gave multiple months of notice that they were going to quit and already had declining performance due to e.g. unhappiness about the job. If you're not performing well and you tell your employer that you're quitting in a few months, they're not really interested in giving you more paychecks to perform poorly. IMO, that's not exactly unreasonable either.

Some companies will restrict the employee's access for the notice period and remove their work as a way of protecting company information from last-minute exfiltration (it happens a lot more than you'd think), but those employees are still paid during this time period. They're also obligated to answer questions and attend meetings about handoff, although in some cases this may amount to zero work.

But no, it's not common for US tech companies to fire employees immediately for resigning. I don't know where the parent commenter got the idea that this is common.
I said very close to achieving it. I am not naive enough to believe that we have or probably ever will eradicate racism.

Nonsense; it's just harsh reality landing on green wet-dreams.

They effectively propose a ban on cheap cars, and you expected ... what, exactly?

The only way they're replacing ICE vehicles is by making the EVs cheaper, and there is a limit to how high they can tax sales of ICE vehicles or fuels without a population revolt.
It's not even about the review. If it was, people who have Nature papers retracted would be in very dire straits (despite the fact, they tend to do very well anyway).

Very expensive UAVs use lithium polymer battery packs with continuous discharge rates on the order of 80C and above. To get higher energy density, look for lithium ion battery packs or lipo packs that reduce discharge rates to trade off for long-term storage capacity.

Compare to the discharge rate vs. energy density tradeoffs of plug-in hybrid EVs versus battery-only EVs: A Chevy Volt PHeV has a 16 kWh pack and 87 kW motor, a Chevy Bolt has a 65 kWh pack and not a 65/16x87=350 kW motor but 149 kW.
It's good at temporal reasoning and causality is baked in. I spent a lot of time asking gpt to tell me what is happening at the current moment of a story and it always responds with a causal representation. Where humans might tend to be more visual etc. Remember time is not real anyway we just have a bunch of codependent stuff happening so gpt gets it. What it lacks is just memory and experience and some other things to showcase the ability better. I think it's the training on code more than language that gave it logical reasoning. Humans are logical sometimes but our code really is the summit of our logic.

Anyway regardless of how inherently good they are at temporal reasoning I think a secondary module explicitly for reasoning will come around soon. I believe in the brain some neurons organize into hexagons or other geometries to better capture logic, maths, etc. The LLM basically needs some rigidity in it if we don't want fuzzy outputs.

And the largest danger is not people getting lazy and letting the LLM do it. That kind of danger is really long term globalization type danger. Short term we've got much more to worry.
> The problem still remains

It doesn't, because that 88,000,000,000 is a lower bound amount of lithium on the planet not an upper bound.

If I count all the apples on the apple tree in my yard, I haven't counted all the apples on the planet. Only the applies I know about. There's probably still more apple trees out there!

That 88,000,000,000 figure also doesn't count any lithium in the oceans. Taking even a small fraction from there would make that 88,000,000,000 seem tiny.
You and I have different definitions of "easy" solutions.

I talk about nukes because I believe it's the biggest danger the world faces and have for a long time. I grew up in the shadow of the cold war being drilled on how to hide under my desk when the missiles came. Far before Ukraine I was mystified by everyone's ability to forget that threat still exists. It seems possible and even likely to me that nuclear catastrophe will come before and be far greater in magnitude than any AI or climate catastrophes, for me it overshadows every other threat.

> The move comes days after a new chief executive officially took control...A Lyft spokeswoman said its new CEO “has made clear to the company that his focus is on creating a great and affordable experience for riders and improving drivers’ earnings....”

If the new CEO took over "days" ago, to what extent was this his decision? I'd think it would take weeks for a longtime CEO to cut this many roles, and a new CEO has to get up-to-speed on all aspects of the business before being able to do anything major. Perhaps he spent 6 months vetting the company during the courtship phase, and was planning this all during that time?
Lyft was trying to attract a certain type of person to work for them with their branding and marketing… looks like that is finally starting to backfire like I thought it would.

Im sure uber drivers do similar but i have taken over 1200 and only had this happen once or twice
Yeah, emailing a handful of reviewers from a fixed list and following up via email definitely sounds like it costs $6300. What are the net profits of your employer? How much did the CEO make last year?

By having comically large back-of-house operations.

In a more reasonable scheme the technology portion of a cab company is a small part of their overall expenses, commensurate with the degree of value it brings to the business.

This is true in some white-labeled cab dispatching apps (see: Curb), but not true for ones that chased sky-high valuations with assumptions of pure-software margins (see: Uber, Lyft).

You can afford to pay a huge number of top-dollar engineers and product people when your margins justify it. Being the tech layer on top of cabs turns out to not be in this category of business.

There’s a lot of merit to taking a week or two beyond the standard. 2 weeks isn‘t a lot of time to hand off all your work, go through the usual HR bureaucracy, and make sure you have contact info for anyone you might want to stay in touch with after leaving.

If it’s an amicable departure 3-4 weeks can be a lot less stressful for everyone.

6-8 weeks is kinda weird though, unless you‘re extremely senior and on critical path for a lot of things, or you‘re using up accrued PTO.

It's also relevant to note that "amazing to the point of not being believable" is only the primary literal definition, while you would have a legitimately hard time finding even a single colloquial use of the word that includes the "not being believable" part. A similar case is "awful", which nobody uses to mean "full of awe".
I don't agree with the proposed TikTok ban. It's straight up protectionism, or govt censorship.
Sure, getting your bonus bought out provides some superficial relief for this problem. But if your next employer thinks that your value is high enough to buy out your bonus, they likely think that independent of the current date (modulo a special case where your value /now/ is significantly higher than it would be in another quarter or whatever). Your next employer gets no value from the fact that you're leaving previous money on the table; if they offer to buy out a bonus, stay, get that bonus, then remind them that they thought you had that additional value and you'll take at as a signing bonus now, thank you very much.
