Thank you for such a great explanation, super clear :)
I'd guess there are more jobs that use assembly than jobs where you write the X server protocol directly to the socket.
I had a moment of discomfort when reading that as well, and I had a very similar thought. Why is this a brag-worthy thing? Why are people valuing that level of dedication to a megacorp? A decent amount of this is cultural in the USA; at least, it is in my experience. A certain percentage of Americans tend to value extremely hard work as well as the willingness to sacrifice for that hard work without any context or equivocation. Putting in 80 to 90 hour weeks to make billionaires a little bit richer? Absolutely! "I did it, and look how awesome I am! You should do it too!" Meanwhile, on their death beds, many Americans show regret for spending so much time at work and so little time with their families.
I don’t know where people are getting such low numbers. I’ve been a developer for 10 years. I care a lot about optimizing my workflow.

When copilot was released, I’d say I got a 15% increase. When ChatGPT was released it was like 50% at least and I can’t imagine going back. I remember how slow it was now.

My advice would be to force yourself to leverage it more or something. I hate googling now. I’ll find a page, copy the entire thing into gpt4 and the file i’m using with the error message and i have to do nothing.

How are y’all using it?

I'm Vikram, a lead-level Software Engineer looking for a part-time contract role while bootstrapping on my own startup, Cling.

I built Cling’s entire tech stack from scratch. SwiftUI, Compose, MVVM arch for iOS. Ruby on Rails for API. Compose, Flow, MVVM arch for Android. I’ve worked on native and full-stack teams of varying sizes. I have a lot of experience with design, product and leading projects to completion.
As the tech founder of my startup, I also taught myself Ruby on Rails to build the API, fundraised to expand the team, and led the Android dev team to launch.

I’m ideally looking to work in mobile-focused products. I’m reliable, communicative, and eager to ship quality products!
How do you defend against an opponent trying to score an own goal? Wouldn’t it be off-sides if you got between the player and their goal?
I think this is out of the complaints about API access costs and those using third-party clients will "just stop using reddit" which I'm not sure is actually going to happen as broadly as folks may believe

How long it lasts is irrelevant if you don't use the longevity and upgrade every time a newer model comes out.
Jack of all trades, master of none. Currently interested in a product position for a company that's passionate about what they do. I've done full stack development mostly, but I'm interested in a career pivot.

Work experience includes founding a startup, reverse-engineering IoT hardware and most social networking sites, building my own home automation system (akin to home assistant), being a graphic designer, cryptocurrency hardware consultant (and interim project manager / product owner), discovering 0 days for at least one FAANG, and putting DOOM on a microwave. https://tylerfreedman.com/sociallink/ and https://tylerfreedman.com/hindsight/ are good examples of the (personal) work I've done that covers most bases.

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Remote: Yes, as well as hybrid

Willing to relocate: Maybe

Technologies: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, etc

No it won't, because reproducing works verbatim is basically the definition of overtraining a model. That's a bug, not a feature.

A lot of further progress is going to be made towards making models smaller and more efficient, and part of that is reducing overtraining (together with progress in other directions).

Reproducing Harry Potter is a bug, because it's learning stuff it doesn't need to. So to the contrary, "it's just a matter of time" until this stuff decreases.

This is a different set of goalposts than the claim I was responding to.
Of course AI won't kill us. It will empower us to kill ourselves faster.
I actually find that turning the top of my wrist up is more taxing than the top. Looking at the top of my wrist feels a lot more natural to me.

OTOH, in doing it right now, I noticed that I also stick my elbow out to make that happen, which isn't necessary for the bottom of the wrist, so perhaps that's the difference. Without sticking my elbow out, the watch would be at the wrong angle to view, though, in either situation. (It'd be 90 degrees out.)
Also interesting is how lots of rules have standard penalties - and this turns them into potential strategic components rather than something you aren't allowed to do. It's not cheating to break these rules, it's considered part of the game.
1) I am pre-trained in fasting extended amounts of time and actually enjoy it, being hungry wasn't the problem. but sometimes (quite often for me unfortunately) adult life happens, and I just have to do something like eating business lunch with a client or some holiday feast with the family. A few times of these things happening (sometimes even within 1 week) and after a while I just think "fuck it". The only thing I actually can keep for many months now is going meatless, but this was a great body response feeling within few days and just staying noticeably good, including appetite changes over time I spotted (like preference for fresh vegetables and fruits I never had before) as well as a disgust now to kill/eat animals, so this is now a natural body reaction on a lower level.

2) the usual dopamine loop seemed to work for me here, like the workout itself was intense (nearly fainting after lifting sometimes), feeling a small high afterwards, and even enjoyed the DOMS 2 days after proudly, also helped noticeably in stress reduction to move (accumulated over sets) a few tons of iron. had a kind of personal coach (even though shared with others when I didn't need him) and felt well in my gym environment - everything on point. After a while, I stopped going for no particular reason.
That's the take-away Airbnb wants us to have, but that's just not what the law says, as the company knows perfectly well. Please see the sibling comment in regard to this.
The funny thing about the Vatican, in addition to the misspelling, is that it highlights the flaws of Voronoi when points are close together.
No, I'm sorry. People want to assume the people that made the games they like aren't responsible for the harrassment, and the people who made changes to the games they didn't like are responsible, but there's plenty of the classic blizzard people who have been involved in the abuse, yet at the same time I haven't heard anything bad about the behaviour of the likes of Ion, lead designer for BFA/Shadowlands, or the "Do you not have phones?" guy, as poorly received as their game design decisions have been.
Interested in gaining experience with any of the following:
- Data Science, ML, NLP applications
- Compilers, Interpreters, Query Engines
- Elixir/Erlang
- Go
- Rust
- Julia
- Common Lisp

I saw CNBC interview Kotick at the Berkshire/Buffett shareholder meeting, and it was... surreal. No mention of anything negative, Kotick was presenting himself as homey and down to Earth, and the hosts were eating it up.

I doubt it would be required by law if it was just an issue of someone's inverter tripping overcurrent proteciton

> I’m sure this has motivated someone who makes rules, but I once had occasion to ask some actual line workers replacing equipment serving me, and they laughed. They said that they always assumed the lines were hot at both ends, and if they needed a line to be de-energized for safety, they would deliberately short it out. A pesky little residential inverter was not in the slightest bit concerning to them, anti-islanding or no.

Well, that's generally good safety measure.

> But mostly I think the most important current reason for anti-islanding is that a small residential or light commercial inverter is unlikely to have anywhere near the capacity to power an entire secondary circuit, nor does its owner want it to.

Many places do, hell, common problem is grid voltage being too high and inverters turning off because too many neighbours got solar. I'd imagine its pretty easy in peak to have solar exceed local demand even if only part of houses have it. At the very least "to the next transformer".

I wonder whether the move to green energy would change the way grids are build. "Micro-grid" with all houses on street connected to substation with a bunch of batteries that most of the time just stores local peak and sells it back to the residents might be an interesting idea and potentially make grid more resilient overall.
Unfortunately it's more restrictive than just owner-occupied units. It's essentially an unlocked room (for up to 2 people) in someone's house/apt that includes shared living spaces.

For example, there are many multi-family houses where a family lives upstairs but can't rent out the downstairs apt.
For me, deciding factors:

- Cockpit -- EV6 has a panoramic (horizontal) display, plentiful buttons, and a heads-up display. I found this much more ergonomic for my eyes and hands than Tesla's all-in-one center-mounted display.

- Availability of Android Auto/CarPlay -- Tesla's software is more polished than Kia's but I'd rather project my phone. All my stuff's on it.

- EV6 is the #1 recommendation for its class in Consumer Reports as well as #1 in projected dependability for same.
i spent a month in bali after covid, and the ones i talked to were happy to have tourists back. i heard miserable stories from selling everything, going back to farming to survive, personal businesses gone, pets dying because they couldn't take care of them. You cant make generalizations about what people want and don't want. its more complex then that.
Hah, true :) I think "talk to others" is often a solution that is overlooked and is very powerful. Probably the best parts of my life wouldn't be possible if I didn't force myself to socialize with others, even if it's difficult and I don't want to do it until after the socialization is done then I feel good about it.
This seems incentivized by marketing, as every security demo I've ever had has included something like "See? Our tool found 46,291 possibly critical issues in your environment" and then you drill into them later and they're relatively insignificant issues you'd fix in a perfect world with unlimited labor but drown out the actual things you actually want to know about right now. I think there's also incentive to upgrade the threat urgency on alerts to look like they're capturing more urgent threats.
What's wrong with downloading the binary? curl + mv + chown should do it?
>or Big Government when it regulates it to protect the interests of the people?

We (the "owner class," parrots, what have you) would argue for the government regulating itself, not the companies. Facebook showing you fursuit ads as a result of your history isn't as big of a problem as the government showing up at your door now that you've shared the wrong idea online. Governments should not be allowed to indiscriminately collect data from (that is, to spy on) it's citizens. Giving the governmemt more power doesn't seem like the right solution here, being that that is exactly what we are trying to limit. Companies should not be unregulated, but more important is that the government itself should be regulated: specifically, minimized in it's powers.
In regards to the suggested collector approach:

Currently, the peer nodes can deploy themselves to other surrounding nodes, and there's also a "discovery" strategy that tries to find out as much as possible about surrounding systems in the network. This usually leads to running the binary on the other system, collecting the information, and removing the binary and the report from /tmp afterwards.

Initially I wanted to push this as a pentesting approach, and simulating actual exploits inside the network to see "how far" someone could go, where the critical hops are etc.

Maybe I am seeing this a little wrong, but would such an approach work for organizations where multiple teams share an ownership of a system? Maybe on a scheduled basis so it doesn't conflict with high network load times?

This way there would be basically a collector that re-routes the S/N/SaaSBOM reports back to the dashboard where the cyber security team would operate in.

Inside the program, it's already implemented an basically just a different action that's running. In that case it would be the "tholian-guard <collect>" action vs the EDR-mode "tholian-guard protect" action.

Thanks much, this is very valueable feedback I need to think more about, and also the way I'm communicating/designing the dashboard workflows for this scenario.

Honestly, I agree with every word here. I'd rather see conferences as networking events than quality filters. Conferences should invite published works. The conference system just adds noise, and like you are suggesting, the single round results in a zero sum game and no advocates for the paper to be accepted/improved. Thus reviewers optimize their strategy: reject everything.

While I still have problems with peer review and still advocate for open publication, I do think many the the specific issues of ML could be resolved by focusing on journals rather than conferences.
Electricity is not to be feared but rather respected. It is a powerful force that lives in our wall, pockets, cars, the air, the ground, and even something that drives our biological function.

That being said, this is not going to be someone’s first project. It probably won’t be their second project. I’m not sure my faith in people’s self preservation is rooted in my confidence that people generally want to be safe or some rather bleak, Darwinistic thinking that eventually only those who do projects recklessly will be “selected out.” In any case, you can work on these systems safely and it’s just mains voltage.

Humans have introduced more complexity to our lives as our technology has progressed, all with thought-to-be grave safety implications. The advent of the motor carriages had one city making a law stating that someone had to be on foot, waving a flag preceding the motorized vehicle at all times. People love to catastrophize, claim the sky is falling, and wax poetically about how far we have strayed from “the lord.”

In December 2016 I tried a demo of an HTC Vive at a Microsoft Store (remember those?), and a few days later did a demo of an Oculus Rift at a Best Buy. The demo at the Microsoft Store was well set up - they had an associate handling the demo, an area set aside to do the demo, a speaker, and a display to show observers what was being shown in the VR set. The Best Buy demo was not as put together but was still OK.

Not sure why they seemed to be demoing it more then than now.

What’s Rocket League like nowadays? I only played when it first came out. The impression I got though was that it was more like Counterstrike or something: mechanically simple with lots of depth, designed to be more like a sport than a game.

Overwatch is pretty casual. It is tuned for spectacle, and the abilities work out such that most reasonably non-bad players get a steady trickle of moments where they get to be the “star” for a scene.

It isn’t really a core problem, just a different type of game.
What is the probability that we will achieve FTL travel within the next 100 years?

What is the probability that we will be visited openly by intelligent, friendly aliens within the next 50 years?

What is the probability that we will develop a device that allows us to seamlessly and accurately converse with dogs and cats within the next 10 years?

We can assign probabilities to any of these, but they will be based purely on speculation, because none of these things are known to be possible. Note, not "I can make an argument that they should be possible"; known, with a solid scientific basis and an understanding, at least among experts, of the basic steps needed to get there.

On the other hand, "the probability that we will achieve commercially-viable nuclear fusion within 30 years" is a different kind of calculation to make: we understand the physics, we've got a pretty damn good idea of what advances we need to make it possible; the main problem is getting the money, time, and manpower (aka, money, money, and money) to create the materials and build the prototypes.

AGI falls into the former category, not the latter.

> It's "Activision Blizzard". Has been legally for 15 years, and in practice for at least 5 years now.

So call it Activision Blizzard? The difference between Ybarra and Kotick speaking is both one of recency and personal culpability (Ybarra was hired as the cleanup lead, so a reversal on the stance that it happened would be notable in its own right), and of abuses that have gone in other non-Blizzard Activision studios (I seem to recall some controversies about Raven software also?).
But if there's no actual basis for the person to have a bad attitude, the coworkers are more likely to resent, shun, and/or ridicule them than to adopt a similar attitude.
I'm pretty sure the 90s painting app Xara Studio was also done in assembly.

One other weird thing: When a soccer player who is not a goalkeeper prevents a goal by catching the ball with their hands, they "just" get a red card and the attacking team a penalty, even if they would have certainly scored otherwise.

Luis Suarez successfully used this in the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals in the Uruguay vs Ghana game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM-29hy-Qyw - Ghana missed the penalty, which led to a penalty shootout, which Uruguay won.

Skimming through the laws of the game (https://downloads.theifab.com/downloads/laws-of-the-game-202...) I do wonder whether a trainer and up to 4 other players (because a team which can field less than 7 players forfeits the game) climbing on the crossbar until it breaks could be advantageous in some situation as well since

cannot be repaired the match must be abandoned.

It’s always somewhat nonplussing (grammer?) when people say they are unclear on it. If you are past the last defender, on the opposing side of the field, when the ball is kicked to you, offsides.
