Based on what a few people have told me, I'm mildly regretting booking a few days in Portland prior to spending a week out by Mt. Hood. I initially wrote it off as people not familiar with the realities of the downtown areas of a lot of West Coast cities. But it sounds as if Portland may be worse than others.
Maybe because the city of Atlanta itself is number 38 by population in the US?

Not that I think it's a good product by any means, but you'd be expected to smell the surrounding air as odors are too small.
We've got sets of Indian brass, Korean steel, and Japanese lacquered wood food containers that we use in addition to ceramics and glass. The glass chips, and once it does we tend to avoid using it for food.

Speaking of Organograms, Is there such a thing as a right way to draw architecture diagrams? Is it possible to draw architecture diagrams to fit a narrative?

That is true, but sanction in the court of public opinion isn’t the same as sanction in a real court. I’m not sure a judge should be taking bad publicity into account when handing out punishment - they should likely be treated as independent.

> IF we eliminated all PFAS chemicals today, society would collapse.

I think this is a failure of imagination. The modern world, largely as we appreciate it today, existed in 1940 in Europe and the U.S. That is well before the widespread deployment of plastics. It was a world in which everyone, including the very rich did with a little less but still, a fairly high quality of life.

The only question that separates then from today, is whether we can scale that kind of material to the much larger global middle class.

Because he used AI to fabricate case law.

Corporations are people, they wait for either the leading or trailing edge and then pivot. Before we had demand-pull inflation due to constrained supply chains, we are now seeing cost-push inflation, and its not about the pandemic spending as much as the Fed left the money printer on for the past 10 years under QE.

Chicken's come home to roost, and the pandemic happened after the Velocity of Money for the M2 had already dropped to nothing. Giving money to people and paying for their education was a last ditch effort after bank lending stopped in Oct/Nov 2019. The charts are all there for those that watch them.
+1, and also, CS fundamentals absolutely can be learned & exercised in the use of high-level tools. One of the beauties of that knowledge is that its concepts are transferable across domains and layers of the computational stack.

Pro tip for anyone working w/ junior devs, especially those who came through bootcamps and the like: you can point them to CS knowledge without actually calling it CS.

My point was not to patronize anyone. My point was that one measurement (air quality) is difficult from a physics and technology standpoint. Low cost accurate air quality measurement at consumer level is not possible no matter how much you are willing to spend.

The other one, weight, is easy enough and if it's not accurate it is for commercial reasons. Either because what I said or what you said. Both could be true.

As a junior developer myself, asking a similar question, I will try sharing some of my thoughts and why I think this way.

Key points:

1. Search for jobs with high salaries.

2. Move to Switzerland.

I haven't seen anything consistent yet when it comes to how high your salary is based on what programming language you know. What I did notice, like many people wrote already that you can hop between jobs and that way get a higher salary, I think that's not entirely true, you could probably pull it off without hoping between jobs but just look for jobs with a high salary, always higher depending on how high the salary of the job was where you were successful before in getting an offer. If needed you could probably also lie about how much you earn now just to see if anyone is willing to pay more.

Regarding the second point, I think it's incredible how high the salaries are in Switzerland same as the US but the market is not competitive at all and basically any idiot (me) can get a really good salary by just going through enough interviews. I can't even imagine how high you can go if you're actually like really good.

I personally started (only 3 years ago) with 72k a year (franks/dollars/euros it's basically all the same) then I went up to 78k and towards the end of 2022 I jumped up to 115k in less than a few months only by consistently taking interviews with higher salary expectations. A good way to get started is by sending a contact request to all the recruiters on my LinkedIn page and they will take it from there and bombard you with offers...I even tried optimizing the process by sending the recruiters this: https://chagai.website/notes/recruiters

> In the office it was hard to get people to stop turning up at my desk at a time convenient to them, regardless of what I was doing, to interrupt me.

Where I currently work (100% in the office, sadly), there is a coworker who did this to me regularly. He was causing a serious loss of productivity, and wouldn't stop.

So I started doing the same to him, stopping by his cube a few times a day at random to ask some legitimate technical question.

The end of the week I started doing that, he complained to me about my constantly interrupting him. It was causing him to fall behind in his work.

I told him "Of course, I'll start messaging you instead of stopping by. Would you extend the same courtesy to me?"

He stopped needlessly interrupting me.

There will be an eco-system of tooling that will come either in form of other GPTs or standard software that will have to perform audit on ChatGPT responses.

Only use ChatGPT if you have a way to audit the response, example: if you asked it to write some code - compile it immediately. Both Bard and ChatGPT gave me code that is near complete but failed compilation.

Or ConnsensusGPT -- where you have to get near similar response from 3 GPT models to go to next step.

Experts can chime in. The idea of using a GPT model to validate another is recursive and powerful, if it is possible.
Yeah; proportional, assuming the sensor stays constant and hand waving about the FOV of the lens.

We do, but it's taught as trivia. Applications and various "tricks" are what matter for binary in CS, and they don't teach that. We're taught about non-10 bases, but not taught why we should give a shit about them.

Same as most of the rest of primary and (especially) secondary school math, really. I doubt 1% of recent high school grads can tell you a single reason why anyone should care about quadratic equations, even though they likely spent months of their lives jacking around with them (for unclear reasons). Most of it's just taught is extremely-painful-to-learn trivia. Trig and calc get a little bit of justification & application, but not much. Stats probably comes off the best, as far as kids having even half a clue WTF they can do with it after the class ends.
unless they slap “patriot act” on it.

I’ve lived in Iran, I really don’t see much of a difference in how the US operates. The U.S. just does more paperwork to justify their shit.
Find a remote job in an Agile shop with a bunch of legacy code, and use an LLM to solve tickets. Then find a second remote job in a different an Agile shop with a different bunch of legacy code and use the same LLM to solve tickets.

Since you're a junior in an Agile shop, no one will bat an eye at assigning you to solve ticket after ticket. Since it's legacy code and they're staffing juniors to it, management won't really care about your code quality. Use the LLM penetrate the dullness of the legacy codebase. Just make sure not to solve tickets faster than the average burn rate.

Spend your brainpower working on your LLM system - the model, the vector database, the git integration, etc. At the end of this process, you'll own the IP for your LLM system and will have made money from two jobs.

You can rise and repeat this by applying for more junior positions and editing your resume to remove older positions. Once you're bored, just pivot directly into consulting because what I've described is literally consulting.

In some cases, probably rare ones, it can lead to perforation of the intestine
Not to play the exact opposite role of a charitability theorist, but if one assumes OpenAI's founding principles are sincerely held, then that lobbying campaign may be more public good-intentioned than profit-intentioned. Under such a framing, they would would argue "yes, a freely available model indeed is a threat while a carefully protected model accountable to internal and governmental oversight is less of a threat" because they believe that to be the case, not because they want a monopoly.

(I don't necessarily actually believe this. I just feel like any good conspiracy theory warrants an equal and opposite angel-devil's advocate.)
Though I don't make a killing, I think I've done pretty well jumping up the pay scale over my career so far. In 6 years I went from $60k to ~$185k, and I'm still aiming up.

Graduated college in 2017 and landed a job at a Real Estate company that employed 2 other developers. I was the "junior" for 1.5 years or so, but when we hired another I sort of fell into "mid-level", as I wan't the most-junior person.

In year 3, I jumped to a smaller company that was mostly engineers in ecommerce. They wanted someone to lead a consumer-facing marketplace thing that fed off a bunch of existing APIs. It was maybe a little over my head in hindsight, but they were letting me build something from scratch and hire some juniors to help so I jumped on the opportunity. Went from 60k to 100k here.

That place ended up being fairly chaotic and I didn't really believe in leadership, so after I finished the platform and had it basically in maintenance mode, I started looking for another job. I went from 100k to 120k here.

I think the last place bolstered my resume a bit, as I led building out an app from scratch. This got the attention of a f500 finance company that hired me at 155k+20k bonus as a senior. After a year that went to 165+20. I wanted more, but this was during all of the layoffs and apparently a lot of the org just got a 3-5% raise.

I definitely could have started higher, but coming from a ~3.0 GPA from a Southeastern liberal arts school I wasn't complaining and I think I've done a pretty good job so far moving up in pay. If I have any advice to give, its

1. Work hard. I generally only work 40hrs, but it's not unusual for me to do more without being asked. I care about my work, I take ownership of it, and I try to learn more outside of work.

2. Never accept the raise/bonus amount that is offered to you. Until the f500 company, I asked for a bigger raise/bonus than was offered to me and I have always gotten it. This move was probably the biggest contributor to my take-home, though I don't think it'd have worked if I didn't do [1] above. No one is going to fire you if you ask for more, the worst they will do is say no and acknowledge what you're looking for in the future. This is what happened to me at my current company at the end of the last fiscal year, and honestly I understood why they said no. The company was tighter than last year, but my boss and his boss both know what I'm after this year.

I hope this is helpful to someone. Not all of us land the cushy tech job out of college, but you can run your way up the ladder if you apply yourself.
Is that still the same basic design that was initially shown with the rigid steel body? If so, how are they planning to solve the likely safety issues here, both for the people inside as well as people outside.

Having nothing that crumples should mean that the full force of any crash is applied to the passengers. And the design looks like it's a nightmare for any pedestrian hit by it.

I think it's safe to assume any Safari PWA will be more resource-efficient than a Chromium counterpart.

In most cases, the decision will finally always revolve around the system hooks – how many does the Electron app have, and whether are you able to live without them.
The same kind of people who don't hold the steering wheel with their hands or pay attention to the road when driving on "autopilot". Turns out there are a large number of them. There's a reason Google went straight for fully driverless.
There's no need to presume lobbying. Freely released models, by definition, don't have a regulation body. It would be like replicators suddenly made it possible for anyone to produce automobiles or firearms with nearly zero variable costs. These things have life-changing consequences, so there are expectations of quality, safety and record keeping.

The simple truth is that our information tools have become so complex that they're capable of significant consequences. Bots already are being used to wage war on information, notably Russia's socio-political war that the U.S. doesn't even realize that it is in. That said, it doesn't mean that models must be proprietary. If anything, this must be treated like crypto protocols: open to many eyes and liberal amounts of sunshine to prevent anyone from encoding a Manchurian candidate.
One thing I've never seen discussed by the media is whether the Cybertruck as demoed is even road-legal. For example, there are specific rules about how you can design your headlights, restrictions on wheels that extend beyond the fenders (fenders exist to prevent your car from shooting debris at the car behind you), etc.

Something tells me the actual product will look quite different than what we've seen so far.
Sure there are design resources but look at the resources themselves and compare them to Joey’s stuff.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but when I used Sketch the Apple design resources weren’t as comprehensive.

I truly believe the low level fundamentals are crucially important. Even today, in the days of Python and Javascript.

Not to go too far, about a year ago I was working on an embedded board we designed which used MicroPython. The communications protocol required IBM CRC-16 to be calculated. MicroPython could not run this calculation fast enough. Since MicroPython allows you to insert code in assembler, I just wrote the CRC routine (an many others) in ARM assembler. The performance boost was, as one would expect, massive. Writing the code wasn't a problem at all given my background.

Having this knowledge also allows you to reach for optimizations that someone who has only seen high level languages and (as posters elsewhere in the thread have revealed) don't understand low level code or even binary. A simple example of this is that comparing to zero is faster than comparing to a value. The simple explanation being that you have to juggle registers and perhaps even read and store that value from memory every time you go around a loop. All processors have the equivalent of a JZ and JNZ (jump if zero, jump if not zero) instruction, which does not require anything to be fetched from memory or register swapping. Of course, this is processor and task dependent.

And then I wonder about such things as DeMorgan, bit-wise operations, masking, etc. I was surprised to read some of the comments on this thread about people not being comfortable with binary beyond 1=true and 0=false. I don't understand how someone can develop non-trivial software without having a solid foundation. I mean, even for CSS you should understand what "FFC21A" or "3FE" means, where it comes from and how to work with these numbers.
