One interesting thing to point out is CBT is so effective because it's somewhat easier to stick to than other approaches. Meditation, for instance, is equally effective if you keep with it, but most people realistically won't.
Based on your experience looks like startup is a good match. The argument about learning the tools first doesn't sound that convincing to me , it is mostly you justifying the high salary. Also database is not a tool per se and even if it is you will mostly understand how to query it , which is just like learning SQL and I don't think it will help you in writing a database
I'll share this: I had great teachers, enjoyed school, felt well supported, had a tight friend group, and learned a lot. I was a nerd from a fairly poor family who lived well outside of a town of about 25k people. This was in the 80s and 90s, in the U.S. I was never bullied once, never felt threatened or scared. Was anxious sometimes, certainly did not like doing homework. If I had told my parents I was too anxious to go to school, I'm pretty sure they'd have let me stay home once. If I kept doing it, they'd have found a polite way to say "tough shit, you're going to school".

It will absolutely cost more than a billion dollars. Have you seen the cost of other government web services?
As others have stated, that stipend would not cover doubling of mortgage (due to high interest rates). That stipend also gets clawed back if they pay you off within 1-2 years.

If I sold my house right now, I’d realize a $150k loss + have to pay double the mortgage rate. I’ve never had a relo package above $50k ($37k after tax)

I like how this insinuates that you are digging holes in your backyard with regularity to even notice this. Otherwise, it is an odd way of saying it's wet =)
Did you RTFA before injecting your own opinions in?
It’s directly tied to the pandemic.
This is so cool! Does the term "ant" here have any real-world implications to the behavior of ants, or is it simply a creative term? Obviously ants are known to build highways, but that's through use of pheromone trails rather than a very simple process of turning, right? But I guess the black/white configuration is a binary representation of a pheromone trail? So, maybe?
Everyone should be free to choose if they have a car that automatically generates tons of evidence against themselves that the cops just have to seize.

It's bad enough with eCall and the trend to insurances requiring recording blackboxes (or modern cars doing that all on their own), but dashcams? I can already see police demanding laws allowing them to force you to hand them over access to the footage at a roadside traffic stop and them running AI scans on it to see if you ran a stop sign or red light or if you were speeding.

Where there's feeding troughs of data, the pigs will always come to demand being fed (a rough translation of the German saying "Wenn man den Trog hat, kommen die Schweine von ganz alleine").
no thanks. pervasive surveillance is bad enough already without the requirement that the surveiled pay for the hardware themselves.
This is my number one use case for my Apple Watch these days.
I like this a lot, but I would like it to be easier to:

Prevent it from indexing sites I say, such as my banking website, etc. I think that should be a top priority.
And having a strong privacy policy on the site (I know you say it's local, etc), but this is pretty great and I am already enjoying it.
This most recent layoff is so far turning out to be the easiest to mentally grieve, because I went in not trusting I'd still have a job in short time, and shockingly it turned out exactly as I expected, despite my effort to the contrary. I'm so detached from the idea of job security it's literally laughable, and the market is so bad I just don't even feel like wasting my time trying to get anything.

Throughout the first few months though, it was all "move to X" this, and "we'll sponsor you and your spouse" that. I didn't trust it, because I've been through the meat grinder before. But almost a year in I decided to visit the town where their office was overseas and start a very arms length effort to feel it out. It was interesting to see how immediately upon arrival back, tensions soured between my pathetically toxic manager and I, then after a bad first quarter I was gone.

Sad, because my lady was excited about the prospect of moving, but I was less trusting and more cautious, thankfully. RIP that job. I won't move anywhere for a company unless the conditions of the contract are insanely favourable and/or I'm extremely desperate.

That said, if you're looking for someone in Vancouver;)
I've had success with the method described in

https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/training

for both classification and regression problems with the caveats that (i) the default learning rate is too damn high (easy to fix) and (ii) with a great deal of effort I got the classification problem to perform as well as a classifier that uses

https://sbert.net/

and an SVM from scikit-learn. You might get different results with another problem, but my problem is noisy and has an upper limit to what accuracy is possible. Fine-tuning a model takes maybe 30 minutes, the classical classifier is more like 30 seconds, and the ratio of development time that went into these is similar.
For most people, things cost less than they did a year ago. Real wages are up over the last year. Inflation hasn't been a real problem for most people.

I can't control what conclusions people reach based on incorrect or incomplete information. I can only suggest they read better newspapers.

(CNN is not one of those better newspapers. It just had the relevant numbers.)
Great example. It was the genesis of the US Digital Service and 18F. Complaints are valid, but so should be recognition that the government took rapid action to course correct. Promises made, promises kept.

You're right I should have acknowledged you can make it a keyboard shortcut.

That is what is frustrating about macOS window management, they could add everything I want as it is sort of already present. It is just missing customisation and a few additional options.

It seems that since Apple started trying to create consistency between macOS and iPadOS features they have (purposely) forgotten that people work with macOS quite differently to iPadOS :(
That's really far fetched from my point of view.

I saw it more as a fun thing we're people like to be involved.

It wasn't about money
I guess the clause in the contract would mean a leap of faith by the company that they have vetted the candidate and trust the outcome. They just have to evaluate the risk of bad actors against the gain from good actors. Actually I like this as it makes the hiring company put some skin in the game.
There's truly a different set of rules & norms, once you're high enough up the social-status ladder.

That used to include the so-called "professional class" but the story of the intersection between social status and work for the last few decades has been MBA types pushing those positions downward‚and preventing them from ever rising, in the software world. They may not be doing it consciously, but a lot of stuff about work-life for software folks sure looks like what you'd do if you wanted to squash the social status of a cohort that earns enough money that they'd otherwise be on their way to solid membership in the upper-middle, like micro-managy "methodologies", avoiding giving us personal offices, widespread and oft-expressed but IME rarely-accurate stereotypes about software folks necessarily being bad at everything except fiddly computer shit, and the way interviews are run.

Professors and doctors were two big groups that held high status and had a fair amount of freedom and trust to run their own affairs, once they'd paid their dues, but both those worlds have been invaded by MBAs who've taken over running everything and brought the same contempt for "mere" workers that we see in the rest of the business world. AFAIK lawyers have held them off, so far, but I may just not be aware of MBA-ification there.
I filed my Swedish taxes yesterday. It included private income and investments, my own sole proprietorship as well as dividends from a larger company where I own 10%. It took around 30 minutes including all calculations.

We may have high taxes, but at least they make it easy to pay them...

Yeah, I didn't have proclivities towards sports and my parents didn't the money for equipment or the time to come get me from events (we were rural so you couldn't just bus home) so I couldn't find an extracurricular niche and didn't earn the respect of the school.
The Netherlands have a system in place to handle these sort of problems. When hiring anyone a contract is signed stating a minimum length of employment. If an employee is to be fired before that minimum length is up, a meeting with a mediator (typically an employment judge) is held. The company has to prove they've tried everything to get the employee to work at their expectations (re-training, moving departments, etc). If the judge determines the employee is doing more harm than good at the company, then they are let go before their contract ends.

Granted, I don't think a judge needs to be the deciding factor on letting an employee stay or go. But I do believe a contract stating expectations, a minimum employment contract (if employee meets those expectations) is necessary and should be enforced in today's business world. Even apply it to salaried, or "skilled workers". A busboy at a restaurant doesn't need a contract, but an accountant with 5 years experience should at least have that safety net.
Not only turbotax, but sometimes your brokerage firm (in case Fidelity) screws up calculating exercising options.

I would've owed $20,000 more in taxes because the software failed to account for the amount that was already withheld.
I agree we shouldn't stand for shitty employers. But, especially right now, it can be hard for a dev to find a job. Especially if the dev has dependents taking up time for take home tests etc. Or if they have a visa the employer needs to manage.

I suggest we should have something like an actor's guild instead, where a floor of basic protections are necessary but there's no ceiling on payment and benefits.
Yeah this seems wrong, from the link it appears they definitely WILL delete YouTube videos:

> Starting later this year, if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar), YouTube and Google Photos.

This needs to be frontpage of HN for MUCH longer, this is honestly catastrophic. So much knowledge will be lost, imagine if public libraries started throwing books away if authors didn't publish any new books for 2 years.

This is insane from my perspective (though I see how it makes sense from Google's)

This needs to be talked about MUCH more, though even as I'm writing these words I doubt the utility of even discussing it - nobody except Google has the ability to even store all of this. Data hoarders are backing up Imgur prior to their purge... but Google is about to rip YouTube a new one. This looks insurmountable.
Any reasonable contract (not the default one, but one you push back to get) will include a clause that all repayable benefits are only if you quit, not if they terminate employment. (Some will include terminate with cause) .

I got a signing bonus, and if they lay me off then they lose their signing bonus. Yes i negotiated that into my contract.
Ha, my auntie lived on that for nearly a decade.

I don't think this is true. The total lobbying dollars of H&R Block and Intuit is not really a lot of money[1][2] although it is something. I think there is an incentive for these companies to support more complicated taxes but I doubt they are the cause of complicated taxes. The IRS brings in a lot of profit on extra collections and penalties.[3]

I disagree on the effects (at least for the average child of a doctor or engineer), but I'm in for letting more students stop going to school. Glad it has some bipartisan appeal.
there will be guy saying " I still use windows xp" in 5 years from now.
staff and principal engineerings are still leaders who spend an awful lot of their time coaching and mentoring, they probably just don't have direct people management responsibilities. There are very few situations that will give you an advanced IC title for doing stuff that "no one else can do" because of one word: leverage. It's not economic (in all but the rarest, most specialize cases) for me to say "I want 10x developers who are snowflakes" vs. "I want my senior engineers to increase their sphere of influence and make every developer fractionally better". It's very hard for a senior developer to increase their skills 10% YoY, but actually pretty easy for them to help 20+ developers get 1% better. Staff and Principal developers go deep on the leadership aspects (I shudder to say architecture, but it is the "good" parts of this) and very, very wide on their application & influence. As a result the opportunities for deep engineering work are more like mining than farming.

I manage 2 core teams, one a "platform" team made up of all senior => principal engineers, and they spend a lot of their time shepparding other less experienced teams while trying to answer very tough, vague questions like "what bottlenecks do we predict at 10x scale? What can we opportunistically do today?". No one gets huge, dedicated time blocks to code without some degree of accountability and expectation.
So, I certainly wouldn't ascribe any higher level thinking to these LLMs. But they do seem to have more capability than just regurgitating information. They have some logical thinking skills that I assume are not really emergent, but built into the system. For example, I was working on a configuration file for a somewhat new and esoteric firmware, so there isn't much info online about it. But I asked if a specific parameter could include more than one value and bing chat answered that it's assumption was no because it could find no mention anywhere of being able to use more than one value for that parameter. As far as I can tell, no one has answered a similar question anywhere online that it could have been regurgitating, so it seems to have deduced it.
Yep, just like a keyboard will let someone type whatever bad words they want to, which I think is much better than the alternative. Imagine if early PCs had been locked down as far as which words could be typed and had a million restrictions on which lines of code could be executed. It would have led to a dismal invention.

I do think you're probably right about AI though. Too many influential groups are going to get too mad about the words an open model will output. Only allowing locked down models is going to severly limit their usefullness for all sorts of novel creative and productive use cases.
There's several options depending on how simple to

If you want it as a reference that gets thrown around, you could do a simple saddle stitch. This is commonly used for zines. But this doesn't work well if there are over 30* or so pages as it gets too thick. https://youtu.be/PncuvEajyWI

If you want it looking a little bit better with a hard cover, check out this link. It is still the same basic saddle stitch, but then adds a cover and a lot of finishing work. https://youtu.be/BfW0OiAFLkU

If it's longer than 30 or so pages, you will probably need multiple signatures. A signature is basically 30 pages stitched together and then the signatures are stitched together. There are a ton of options at this point. You could even get into the non-stitched bindings that just use glue, like a drum leaf. I recommend the videos at https://www.youtube.com/@DASBookbinding for a lot of options.

If you want something beautiful and you don't want to make it yourself, I'd recommend finding a local book artist who can make it for you. Or one online. Call you local art centers and ask around.

* The actual number is dependent on the the paper, the method, the tools available, etc. But 30 isn't a bad average.
Absolutely. I will point out that depressed people struggle with black-and-white thinking, so just taking the smallest steps in the right direction are a good start.

Slowly build up incrementally better habits over years. It might start with a 10 minute walk.
The extension uses an SQLite database in the Origin Private File System[0]. Disabling the extension keeps the database, while removing it deletes the database.

Regarding performance, here is how it works: the extension accumulates page changes (thanks to a Mutation Observer[1], so I do not have to regularly read and compare the page) for some time, then checks if the sentences are in the database. Only unknown sentences are converted to embeddings.

The extension is CPU-only currently (WebGPU support was not merged yet in transformers.js), so it may be slow. I understand your concern, while that is a proof of concept, I consider a good performance to be vital to a good user experience.

Why do so many prominent admirable people age so poorly ? When I think of Musk now I think "silly culture-war shit-kicker". Lately when he communicates I gain no insight and actually feel dumber. Most recently:

"Kids learn that George Washington was a slave owner and nothing else."[0] -- I don't know anything about this but it sounds like total bullshit.

"Soros hates humanity."

It's even dumber in context...

"reminds me of Magneto."

We have a surplus of silly/entertaining tweets these days but a shortage of intelligent insights. I want the old Musk back, the man who used to raise the bar on discourse. What a loss.

Because it is a non-factor:

Moving to a cheaper location allows them to cut a major % of the salary requirement due to living costs. Companies are already saving billions by creating satellite offices in cheaper states and providing remote work in that state or region - some even without requiring any days in the office.

When the salary requirement is reduced by cutting out the cost of living like that, what ends up being the salary minimum is not so much different from what the overseas dev would want. Its not like top talent in that country will work for the American companies for dimes so that American shareholders can have a payday. You either pay that dev something that will make it worth for him to not go for a major local company and lose the social status and perks associated with it (very important in many local cultures), or he will just take a more traditional career route and work for the local giants.

And its not like sloppy copy-paste work from juniors who accept $10-15/hour when they start their career was not available before. If any company that is worth its salt was not able to run a major tech business with such juniors before, they wont be able to run it now either.

Therefore what remote work in the US hurts is basically the outrageous real estate sector and its margins. Which is why they put pressure on companies for RTO through the politicians it backs...
You make some great points. Good times in tech has given some false sense of security.
I hired an independent accountant a few years ago who came recommended and had great reviews. I spent more time preparing and delivering documentation for her than I'd spent doing taxes in Turbo Tax. No new insights about tax savings or anything else distinguishable from my Turbo Tax filings came from this. However, she was very excited about my explanation of how a Mega Backdoor Roth works since she apparently hadn't known about it...
One of those examples predates globalization, and the other hasn't happened yet.
Not just savings on preparation costs for tax returns in perpetuity but also savings in time for entering bank and wage data already sent to the IRS.

This cult of staff engineers really need to go away.

People read it and all of them like to act like a staff engineer when in fact there are only available slots for a fraction of the engineers.

Now nobody wants to fix bugs and improve product quality. Why? Because those tasks are not staff-level work.

The reward system and the definition doesn't work.

I used to use POPFile as a trainable Bayesian classifier to mark spam and ham. Worked well.

I used to use a system that decreased the amount of email I read by 100x.

I recently built another system that decreased it to zero.

The last two aren't organization friendly. The Bayesian classifier might be your best bet.
Why is surveillance a requirement? Local recordings would have virtually no downsides unless the intention is to evade responsibility for traffic collisions.
