The parent comment is essentially that if we have small remote contingent we'll treat them as outliers/second-class citizens and so long as everyone is fine with that we'll get along. I guess. Doesn't sound great for the remote person but as long as it works for them, OK? As you say, tradeoffs. I'll take being sort out of the workflow a lot of the time for not commuting/living in a cheaper area.

I've also known teams that basically had a rule that as long as anyone was remote you worked from a work perspective as if everyone were. But it sounds as if that wasn't acceptable in this case to the majority.
I mean it's gonna take all of 10 seconds before third-party headband systems allow you to attach the battery to the back of the headset, so this feels like a non-issue to me.

Both the Vive and oculus had lots of third-party support - I don't see that this is gonna be any different.

Clicking through three levels of links, the non peer-reviewed paper discussed in that article is this one:

Short summary - it still needs a human expert to identify and sort out the plagiarized bullshit generated by ChatGPT and similar LLMs to obtain syntactically and semantically correct Verilog code even for a very simple 8 bit architecture.

While this might be a novel way to do design space exploration, it seems to be a pretty frustrating approach to me…
Imho the issue is you need to configure this for every user, and as plex is local account hostile it means walking family through this/checking it’s been done vs local accounts that you can disable it via admin.
There's plenty of titanium in the us. They opened a mine in the Adirondacks just for this purpose in WW2, and there's tons of untapped ore. Chances are that it was cheaper to get from the USSR than to make it ourselves

It's not the same thing, Hola was found to use clients as exit nodes, which is definitely an abuse of client trust, resources, and potentially exposing them to major legal trouble or otherwise, but I don't think that can be considered a botnet, whereas the VPN app in question here is pulling lists of URLs from control sites and then directly sending requests to them, so it operates in the C&C fashion of a botnet.
In the same vein, I'd love to see more articles about recursion that don't even mention, let alone demonstrate, solving factorials. There's gotta be something else.
This rule in many areas is how real estate developers acquire lots of land cheaply that has been in a particular family for generations. They find a family where the previous owner has passed and thus the ownership defaults to then next kin.
They approach one next of kin who doesn’t know they even inherited it, buy out their slice, and require the remaining members to buy them out, forcing them to sell it… likely to the same investor.
This is worst docker image ever.

It's starting multiple minutes.

You're supposed to "compile" it, creating your own image, hosting it somewhere (and it's huge). And then this "compiled" image will be fast. Well, fast in Java terms.

It looks like the article could have been divided into two separate theses. The Adam Neumann problem is general unproductive investment of savings.

The Google/Meta problem is different: the challenge of investing in the context of an individual corporate identity and its configuration of human and intellectual capital. Amazon would be a nice contrast to the companies mentioned here. It's a good marriage of the more ephemeral and short term tech capital and traditional physical capital that can have bigger and more stable long term yields. Apparently it sucks to work in most orgs there :/.
They were forcing more encryption rounds via a reset a while back. Unclear whether this is the same thing still or a new issue
DoS should be legalized IMO... If a company cannot mitigate a DoS or DDoS attack and stay profitable, it's their own fault. Their fault for not designing their software properly and their fault for accumulating too many enemies. Probably it would bring down the whole DNS system but it's about time we replaced it with something better and more decentralized anyway.

DDoS is just freedom of speech. Just some people have louder voices than others which is not a foreign concept to the rest of us. So long as the VPN (or whatever) operator mentions it in their terms of service (e.g. if they rely on user resources), it's fine IMO.

There needs to be an incentive for companies to implement good quality software and to not be evil (not to make enemies) and legalizing DDoS might help create such an incentive.
Not to be snarky, but you have $3500 of disposable income to blow on a pair of fancy VR goggles... but not enough money to afford a window AC unit?
Docker and kubernetes are different things.

But both systems can restart crashed containers. That's not an issue at all. Kubernetes does it automatically. Docker does not do it automatically but you just need to supply proper option for `run` (or just in docker-compose.yaml).
I finally had time to try this, but support for mount_options.conf was added to udisks2 in version 2.9.0. Sadly the Linux distribution I'm using for audio stuff is still Ubuntu 20.04 which ships with udisks2 version 2.8.4.

So I manually remounted the loop device using mount -o remount,unhide /mountpoint and now I'm seeing the hidden files.

Oh man, who can forget the interview questions back in the nineties. I go to an interview after spending all week writing trading systems in C++ and it’s always “let’s say you are building a car, how would you structure the classes?”

LMAO, I always failed. Good times.
Then the same applies to you for receiving a review.

Memory ordering tends not to play much into the design issues of xMP systems. As long as you have a coherent and properly scalable cache and NoC, the actual memory ordering of the local processor is irrelevant to the total performance of the system since the LSU and L1 cache are (typically) responsible from providing ordering. The reason why most architectures use weaker memory ordering rules is that it allows you to more easily build faster individual cores as it makes it much easier to extract memory parallelism.
This is about obtaining the titanium atoms - i.e. raw ore, not alloy.

Even if it were about alloy, it wouldn't have matter that much what alloy Soviet provided, as long as it contained enough fraction of titanium in it that US could refine. US wouldn't have bought it if it didn't contain enough titanium, thus this comment is nonsensical.
> I like it more is a valid point if expressed collectively by workers

“I like it more” is a valid point period. Disguising “I like it more” in attempt to declare something objectively better is just biased nonsense.

> And yes, for me WFH is much better, so much better that I'll never again work in an office if I can avoid it.

Great! I’m glad you found this out about yourself. You’ll meet me in the middle in acknowledging that this is a feeling you hold about yourself and not a universal truth, surely.

> but I don't think that a dozen of CEOs and VCs can decide for us all.

You’re talking about something unrelated to my post. No individual person can declare their opinion as universal truth. The person I responded to did so, and I’m pointing out they’re as biased (and ridiculous) as the CEOs you’re disagreeing with.
Marketing can call a rose "fragrant" all it wants. That doesn't make it so.

I have bought almost every kind of varietal I can lay my hands on in an attempt to find roses with scent for my wife's birthday for 20+ years now. When I started doing this, it was easy to find varietals with scent--some of them would pump the whole house full of it they were so strong. In the last 5 years, even if I buy a scattering of varietals (generally I will buy 4-6 dozens in an attempt to find one), I have come up empty twice.

If, however, I go to something like the Del Mar fair and examine the roses which are called "fragrant", they actually are.

I'll leave the conclusions to you.

Well yes of course. Its measured in quality of work, deadlines missed, projects stalled Week over Week, projects/upgrades that have basic steps missed that cause break/fix engagements etc. etc. And on the whole those things are higher with many of my remote staff than on-prem. Its all tracked in Jira.

Also some jobs have ebs and flows of work and not everything is measured in binary pass/fail ways. And there are times when you need someone to engage even when it’s not traditionally busy.

I have had my remote employees tell me things when a "fire"/break-fix event starts and we call to engage during business hours often when that employee has been online all day to that point but now needs to be in a position to suddenly collaborate or share their screen.

"Power just went out"

"I am in the car"

"Internet is out" (we pay for their internet AND a mifi)

"My kids is sick"

Never gotten any of that from someone in office, worst case I have to grab them from the breakroom or they are clear cut out with a sick kid or helping their wife. Or they walk up unprompted and say they have to leave to deal with wife or kids. Those examples where a small sample and werent that, they werent unprompted my kid is sick i need to take the day they were said once something was assigned or they are asked to engage.

Peers have had similar where their direct reports are awol and they start getting texts from constituents saying “have you seen or heard from so and so, it’s been hours”

Again, I have some that are NEVER a problem and even more productive in the office. I totally support that. But since COVID I would say thats only been about 25% of my direct reports. It’s certainly not the majority. Some have, unfortunately, been let go as a result. Unfortunately Executive leadership is seeing this in the non-tech divisions too and are now mandating less remote work.

My point of the original comment is to point out that the folks here may have a bit of bias as it tends to have very highly motivated folks that may even be more productive when given a wide berth. I do that too with the folks that can manage it. But on the whole those are not the majority and arguably even exceptions to the rule and its those that are abusing this that are causing it to become policies to return to the office. One of my takeaways from COVID is that many adults dont have the self-discipline or self-motivation to be fully remote 100% or even 40%. Again not everyone but many/most.
A lot of native apps on iOS still at least follow the light/dark theme and global font sizes. But I’m not sure if that works by default with Flutter or React Native etc. or if they’d have to implement it explicitly.

The readme possibly implies that each proc is matched to the same index position in the watched paths/files.

Did you consider fine-tuning your own copy of GPT-4 that can handle scam messages better? I'm doing something similar with Azure OpenAI Services and custom vector database to handle ham/spam labeling for some of my customer feedback APIs.
They used multiple front companies and routed orders through third-world countries to buy the needed ore. More than likely, pizza ovens--or more likely, I'm guessing unspecified parts for pizza ovens--were just one of many cover stories used by those companies, and at least some of them were probably more believable than pizza ovens. You wouldn't use the same cover story for all the companies making the purchased.

Plus, titanium dioxide is used as a pigment, which would have reasonably explained a great deal of the rutile ore they purchased.
Does macOS have any tools for searching (fuzzy filtering) through open windows¹ these days?

I'm recently switching to Mac at work, and the last time I was in it one of the things I missed the most was that feature.

Can anyone provide helpful links for fine tuning LLM’s for enterprise Use cases?
You could certainly make an argument that an easier language allows a programmer to reach a certain skill level faster or maybe even reach a higher peak skill level. By extension you could also argue that, by some definitions, the skill level of that language's community might be higher. However assuming you had equally skilled Rust and Zig programmers, I think it is wrong to say that the Rust programmers would require more rewrites to match or surpass the Zig programmers.
Reading that made me cringe.

I'd make the `Tire` class derive the `SteeringWheel` class, and `Tire::turn()` moves the car while `SteeringWheel::turn()` steers the car.
Many people across the USSR made it at home. Recipes sharing was very popular.
> And conversely there are plenty of startups (the majority even) that had excellent engineering but failed due to a myriad of other reasons. "Engineering = success" is a very naive view of the industry and the world.

You're putting up lame strawmen. No one claimed "Engineering = success".

The claim is that it is absolutely impossible to have a tech startup without engineers, and no idea, no matter how cunning it might be, can have success if engineering can't turn it to into reality.

A tech startup without engineering is snake oil. Simple as that. Let's not pretend that a salesperson parachuting into a startup with a product in the market can possibly have a comparable impact to those who actually deliver the actual product.
This is a terrible article full of technical nonsense that only reveals halfway through that it's sponsored by a platform that offers fine tuning services.

1. The article doesn't mention the downsides to fine tuning.

The more you fine tune an LLM the more it loses its generic abilities. Sure, it might do a bit better with some domain-specific terms, but in exchange, it's likely going to do a lot worse in unrelated domains. This might be ok, but it might be terrible. Depends on what you're doing.

2. It's technical nonsense to promise that fine-tuning an LLM will make it comply with regulations and keep sensitive data safe.

> Businesses handling sensitive data or operating under strict regulatory environments might need to fine-tune the model to ensure it respects privacy requirements, adheres to content guidelines, and generates appropriate responses that comply with industry regulations.

Telling people this is actively harmful. Absolutely nothing you do with fine-tuning can ever guarantee that an LLM will respect privacy, that it will adhere to content guidelines, or that it will generate appropriate responses. Fine-tuning is the wrong tool here.

3. The article conflates domain-specific and task-specific fine-tuning. These two are totally different ballgames: do you want a network that's far better at parsing or do you want a network that knows about your domain?

4. The article doesn't talk about how fine-tuning can fail you. How it can be hard. How setting up the data can be tricky.

I have no idea who Cem Dilmegani, he's certainly not an ML or NLP researcher, but from this article it's clear he has no idea how LLMs work and has no business trying to explain anything about AI or ML to anyone.
I had to check I hadn't written this in my sleep overnight. You're describing a very similar experience to mine, and I'm honestly shocked at how common this experience seems to be.

2 weeks ago I signed the contract to "sell" my shares for my startup of ~7 years. I'm just now starting to realize how utterly miserable I had been for a long, long time.

It's a very difficult decision, but it gets easier every day (on average, some days can still be tough).

It's only going to get better.

I believe that everyone has a right to food, but laws banning people from storing or consuming too much food are not an important part of the anti-hunger movement.

The problem is that the supply of housing is too low. Banning investment in housing might even make this problem worse by reducing the amount of real resources dedicated to construction, making home-building a riskier and less-appealing enterprise.

When I worked in price crawling there were rumors some proxy vendors leveraged extensions and VPNs (supposedly with fine-print consent) on residential computers to workaround crawl blockers. My guess is that prompted Chrome Webstore to narrow functionality of an extension to only one purpose.

These DDoS tools appear to take things to the next level, and an undeniably blackhat direction.
Proebsting's Law says compilers double code efficiency every 18 years. I wonder what the doubling interval is for algorithmic performance. I expect it would be tough to calculate, like the cost of living, because algorithmic improvements rarel affect all aspects of code performance equally. Incremental improvements in sorting efficiency likely have one of the broadest reaches, followed by concurrency improvements and object lifetime analysis. Then there's a long tail of niche applications that only apply to certain domains. Only the Amdahl's Law parts of the code has a substantial impact on performance.

This is obviously a bad one-sided take. I have been on and lead understaffed and overstaffed teams. It's true that sometimes bad managers ask for more resources to compensate for bad leadership, teams with the wrong skills, or ill conceived projects.

I have also led teams where I really should have asked for more resources, or at least different resources to handle the task.

For me, second is the easier trap to fall into. Just because a project could technically be completed with clever management and if people putting heroic work, doesn't mean it should be done that way.

I started my career in small businesses and startups where it made sense to work hard and smart, because people had skin in the game and there was meaningful rewards and recognition. It has been a very hard habit to break. Few things are worse than grinding alien team hard and meeting oversized milestones I'm just realized that there's no pot of gold at the end and the reward would have been the same if you did it with twice the head count
What I find really interesting perhaps more than even Spanglish or this new dialect, is that back in 2006-2007 I did a lot of business trips to Miami and found it wild that many non-Spanish speakers (only English speakers) spoke English with a detectable Spanish accent. I think it makes perfect sense on reflection, but was eyebrow raising for me.

Like every other server revealing they use Apache or Nginx? Yeah, zero days in software are an issue so it's important to be vigilant for any public deployment, but it's also not something to count against unless the software is not being maintained or too slow to fix issues.
So now you need a phone, maybe with USB Ethernet, and you write an app that exposes a REST API, and you call that?

Not a great solution, I guess, but ... zip-tie/hot-melt the hardware into a box with a fan and I guess it'd be mostly as reliable as a Raspberry Pi?

Yes, the reverse just works for most carriers.

My current frustration is links to blog posts. I'm starting to ask myself "who is this person and why should I care about their opinion?" It's one thing to link research, or even a book, but a few of the blogs lately.... The topic sounds interesting, but the content sometimes makes me realize it's just some dudes blog and not professional advice. I'd kinda like some kind of (opinion) tag on those.
