You basically can't. We haven't developed that kind of AI.

Some of us hope that just-in-time retrieval of data from an external source (usually a vector db) is going to work. Like, say, "retrieve chapter 3 of Dostoyevsky's CP and make an interesting comment about it". For the record, you can have plenty of interesting angsty existential conversations with both GPTs about D right now if you so desire. Just preface your dialogue with something slightly more sophisticated than "let us have an angsty existential conversation about Dostoyevsky".

This JIT retrieval might work for some cases, but my guess is it won't for large holistic pieces of work where you have to integrate and "understand" the entire edifice at once. I'm not completely sure if codebases merit such a distinction though, but you can imagine a domain like "law" might. We can push the context limit and this might bring some temporary relief, but I'm not convinced. The recent pushes to 100K seem to rely on "dropping" attention in an intelligent way. It sounds like cheating and while it might work OK for some cases, I think it'll drop the ball eventually.

The integrated understanding that results from, somehow, internalizing the relation between all the hundreds of thousands of seemingly unrelated datapoints is what makes us interesting. That's also what makes an LLM interesting. It's just that an LLM only has access to that level of development when it's training.

If I were to guess I think we somehow need to enable "always-training" and I'm not sure anyone has the faintest idea how. You can only go so far if you step out of school and never learn anything ever again, no matter how brilliant you are. GPT4 is quite the scholar, but we're stretching it.
Why does this make any difference to you? Are you afraid that they secretly joined a terrorist organisation and were in a training camp in a Middle-Eastern country?
New companies are not done though. Just throwing $1m seed at someone because they can code and says “something something blockchain/ai” is over.
What if you been running a freelance consultancy for 15 years or so, but have very few references from clients available due to seldom interacting with anyone on the client side with meaningful technical experience.

Let's say for example your consultancy works with primarily physicians directly, or wealth managers, or attorneys - people who are not incapable of understanding technology, but have hired you precisely because they don't have the spare bandwidth to get into the weeds of another complex technical domain in addition to their own, and would have absolutely no idea how to comment on your understanding of algorithms or ability to function a small develepemt team as an IC, etc.

I've never seriously considered trying to parlay my experience into a mainstream developer role because I assume that in a sea of 100 applications all having a similarly recognizable list of roles and references, anything that doesn't fit this model is ignored because it's too much trouble to to make a side by side comparison with the rest of the candidates.

Thing is with the freelancer sites, they are almost all looking for cheap talent.
You can be anyone, with a perfect score on the site, with huge track record, but the moment you raise your hourly above $30, no one is interested.

What? Wrong post?
Wow amazing! I did not know this was available on YouTube. Thank you. It is kind of bonkers considering how well it works for a prototype that all-in-all (based on the comment by Lane Roathe) took just 48 hours to make!
Why would anyone steal food, unless they were horribly desperate and hungry? This isn't the mark of a high-trust society, it's the mark of a somewhat wealthy society with a criminal justice system that's very harsh towards petty offenders. Stealing a bag of food at a restaurant would be dumb: there's cameras, and you don't know what's in the bag (likely something you don't like that much).

A high-trust society is one where you can go to that restaurant, and leave your wallet and smartphone on the table to reserve it while you go to the bathroom. That's something that's unthinkable in America, but perfectly normal in Japan and South Korea.
Out of curiosity, what's your definition of "full stack", if you started working in the early '00s?
I presume they'll just receive the money from their lobbyists in those industries but it's definitely better than having that AND their own stock "great investments".
I don't use any Chrome/Chromium browsers at all. Period.
Hey, I tried your website, it selected 314 jobs. Doesn't look like is matching correctly. Or I am a jack of all trades.
yes, it is nonsense, all of it, we agree.
More like a over-saturated field and now 'less engineers' are needed thanks to AI.

> "you have to be marketable in another way"

Correct. I would look at personal GitHub projects over Leetcode BS if I was finding a candidate at this point.
I wish I knew, currently rolling the dice on going back to school for computational neuroscience, and if tech doesn't bite on that then there's always a masters in psychology as a backup. Or just bite the bullet and remortgage the house for a nice safe MD.
Exactly! Two abbreviations glued into one in my head, but I do not miss that much about latter as about former.
I’m sure it’s a mix. Back when it launched there were a number of rumours about it being Blu-Ray based. They had similar capacity for the space used compared to tapes, were considered very physically stable storage mediums, but had long access time as they would need to be physically moved, like tape, explaining the retrieval times.
while I agree that fines for breaches should be more frequent and severe, it's impossible to guarantee security
>Do you notice the difference in audio/video sync between sitting in the front or the back of the cinema?

rhythm games are literally scoring your timings, a cinema offers no such equivalent of a scored feedback loop.

No, I wouldn't notice 3ms on the lips of an actor. Drummers are known to be able to perceive 1-3ms differences in timing; again, a tactile action.

If a human is involved in the action their sense of rhythm and prediction takes over to allow for manipulation within those timescales. It's not uncommon, either.
This site is amazing. Finally something with a clean design, no fluff and it's fast.
Disclaimer: I don't know what kind of hardware 5G towers and routing run on.

If it's a typical application for these high CPU count clusters, why not measure real-world impact and mention it?
It's not intended to be nefarious, but it can have bad consequences. I know the docker devs had good intentions to help people expose services, when they introduced this. However, they also "helped" people unwillingly expose services, oops.

Just because it was meant to be useful and harmless doesn't mean they didn't actually bypass the firewall rules by adding their own rules.
Recruiters get a lot of flak here and elsewhere, but having recently interacted with a few for a recent job change, their incentives are aligned to have some skin in the game, and they can do the emotionally draining part of pushing the company to speed up the process for you without having to send multiple emails or waiting for months for your rejection.
In my experience from both sides of the table, agents have always been the route to market in the UK whereas applications through HR have been a black hole.

Not saying you are wrong, but my (London, mainly BigCo) experience and read is that 90%+ of tech jobs are filled through agents.
Yeah but that is only in large corporations right? I have one friend that works at KPN and survived 3 rounds of lay-offs. I personally could not cope with that kind of stress. I only work at and for smaller companies. Currently I am the only employee at my company. It's only me and my employer.
No the website doesn't work at all. It shows me the same 314 jobs. Not a single one relevant.
If you're going to go down that route, democracy is a sham in that there's little to no incentive for an elected official at a high level to represent their constitutients since they do better by representing their donors/lobbyists/political partners and paying lip service right before election times. Accusing their opposition of "being terrible, so you have to vote me" work wonders too, if they're able to convince people that false dichotomies are real.
Essentially, yeah. You give it a list of pointers to background tiles and a list of pointers to sprites and tell it where you want them drawn. It then does that for you at 60fps for free.

The downside is that that's all it does. That's the whole graphics system. You can't like, paint an individual pixel.

(you can, if you treat each tile as a mini framebuffer, which is how something like the NES port of Elite is possible, but this is expensive and you only have a very small amount of processing time and a limited number of tiles)
Just look at other clouds. I doubt amazon is doing anything special. At least they don't reflect any special pricing.
I am not suggesting that, in an encryption-free world, the advantage for the public is in being able to inspect all government traffic. Rather, it makes it easier for whistleblowers to bypass the government protections and get relevant documents that cover some atrocities.

I really like Assange's essay on the topic, where he describes that every big operation requires a sort of paper or document trail (which is used to coordinate many people), and this fact makes whistleblowing always an option.

However, I believe, encryption (and related things like trusted computing) helps to minimize the exposure of this trail even to internal actors, and in doing so, it makes whistleblowing more difficult.
Exactly, this is my experience as well. It has happened more than once to me that my application didn't get any response, but then when I contacted a recruiter he could get me in for an interview at the same company. One time I even got the job.
For me, I was actually just really bad at selling myself (job interviews are not where you should have false humility I learned).

I was very fortunate in that my girlfriend helped me a lot here. But quite frankly what she did was very straightforward. She would do a 30 minute mock interview with me, and ask me pretty standard behavioral questions. Questions like:

- Can you tell us about a time when you had to work on a project with a tight deadline? How did you handle it?
- Can you give an example of a project or initiative that you spearheaded and the impact it had on the company or team?
- How do you prioritize and manage your tasks and responsibilities when faced with competing demands or tight deadlines?

I answered these questions on my own in a notes app, and then when she would ask me I would then draw on my previous experiences and figure out how to answer question that tells a story as best as possible.

This really helped me a lot.

One tip I would give is to generate these questions, try copy/pasting the job description into ChatGPT and ask it to generate a list of interview questions for that role! I found that much better than sifting through the SEO spam for interview questions.

If you're a dev on an open source project, please hear my plea and stop trying to sell it like you're a hot startup.

Take inspiration from websites from projects such as OBS Studio, Handbrake or VLC (or Blender, but that is a very high bar). Those websites have none of the marketing lingo and all of the to-the-face info presented with easily digestible bullet points and pictures.

(to be clear, I don't have issue with the rest of the website, which is definitely not the case for a lot other projects I've seen)
CSAM faked with real adult peoples faces. What's a law enforcement agent to do? Ignore it?

Weaponised pornfakes could get people killed. Pizzagate happened.
I have around 13 years in the business but I suck at socializing and I'm thankful this hasn't been the case for me, I would be broke if I depended on acquaintances to find work, instead I just have landed positions by applying to offers found at LinkedIn and elsewhere.
so let me get this straight. One of the world's largest targets fell victim to one of the world's largest, best resourced, and practiced state sponsored groups, and they kept the dwell time down to ONLY one month?

who the fuck does this senior think he is saying negligent. if they were negligent they would have ignored the tip of, or would not have been able to find them, or not be able to give them the boot with confidence, or not be able to identify scope of impact.

if anything, this makes me MORE comfortable storing my shit with MS
Have you ever had the experience of having a malfunctioning phone system play back your own voice to you on a slight delay? I have. It's maddening to the point where I find it difficult to continue the phone conversation, and I'd bet that's on the order of 3-5 ms audio delay.
They have a factory in Calabasas, California that makes all of their cheese cakes.
Interesting. On other systems, for lighter workflows, we can still stay on 4GB and processors part of almost 3 Watts hardware.
One pupil got suspended for drawing horns or something on a photo of a school principal. It's the same category of offence. People should grow thicker not thinner skin. But being a victim in modern world pays because outrage sells.
Just code or would he avoid any typing this way?
I think their main point is that trying to get users to use _your_ chatbot is a losing battle since 1) people are more familiar with/have lower friction interacting with mainstream/first party chatbots and 2) this is similar to when sites tried to establish a first party relationship with users via bookmarks but lost and became second party to search engines.

They don’t provide metrics but the analogy seems reasonable to me.

What metrics would you be looking for?

Would they be hard to find/gather?
Poor Ted, poor all of us...
Agreed, if solely based my one vertical Pappy tasting.
Agree. You get a discount if something breaks. But SLA really only works for larger services where the cost of fixing something is small when compared to the discounts.
I used Brave for part-time whole year but I started to use Brave full-time a month ago.

I completely uninstall Chrome because of auto updates. I tried to disallow auto update with most of tutorials on net but nothing worked. So I kicked Chrome.
FYI, your account appears to be shadowbanned for no reason I can discern. I had to vouch for your comment to get it to show up.
People won't realize it's fake... and people won't care either. You struggle to see the harm because you haven't been a victim, and I presume you're not a woman either. So yeah, sorry to get personal but you're missing something.
Yes, very likely carriers (and phone manufacturers) are in the process of making the transfer easier, but it remains more complex than a physical SIM.

I wonder how the "same QR code" might work, I mean, let's say you have your e-sim on your phone, and someone steals the original QR code, if all is needed is to scan it, then the thief could "install" your e-sim to another phone, there must be something else in the procedure to guarantee the de-activation on your phone and allow the transfer, the point is if it is doable with the old phone not functioning.
To form a bit of common ground, yegg hasn’t talked much about the specifics of the TechDirt case. I think bufferoverflow is wanting those details.

Just because delistings can happen because of Bing doesn’t mean that’s what happened here.
On one hand you're saying you want evidence of the candidate's work in recent years, but on the other hand you're also saying fuck people who take breaks to recharge, they should be on the rat race like the rest of us.

I'd interview both of them so long as they pass the requirements. The second guy I'd want to see recent projects, not employment.
Sweden pays (salary and benefits) blue collar workers relatively well, an average white collar worker very rarely makes more than double what a blue collar does (especially after taxes). On top of the social security net and taxes it creates a very egalitarian society.

It DOES cause another problem though: unemployment. Since blue collar workers are so expensive there is a lot of incentive to reduce it as much as possible in all areas of society. A few examples:

It is almost comical how many swedes do manual labor themselves instead of hiring help (especially home renovations). A software engineer coworker renovated all of his apartment (except bathrooms) himself, including changing floors. Construction materials and housing styles are optimised to reduce manual labor.

Almost all public parks have grass-cutting roombas, street cleaning is mostly done with machines, etc

IKEA is so popular because furniture is almost disposable, it is never worth repairing it (unless you do it yourself).

So this still creates another underclass of unemployed people which is also pretty bad for society and individuals. A lot of the gang violence you see about Sweden is a direct result of this. The social safety net helps (especially in ensuring that the children from this class has a chance to excel) but it is not enough and there are no clear answers.
Not for casual, though I guess it depends on where you live.

Assuming you don't order alcohol, and avoid specialty foods (lobster in the Midwest, proper steak pretty much anywhere) it shouldn't be hard to get a meal for two under $50 in most casual places. If I'm willing to spend more than that, we're going straight to fine dining
That'll be an interesting one to see play out. Thing is though, forgeries / fake evidence in the form of image and video editing isn't anything new - how is that challenged in court these days?

I can imagine they have an expert witness testify that it's fake or not, but they can and have been wrong as well.
> Glenn: "Hey Dave. I heard that there might have been an outage with the notification platform. Do you know if that's fixed yet?"

> Ah, mystery probably solved.

> Dave: "I'm reasonably confident that Blanca got it fixed, but she's still investigating. I'll double-check and let you know asap."

> A successful manager can do two things particularly well. First, they keep their team shielded from distractions, so they can get things done. Second, they make certain that they shield their manager from worry and stress, by being competent, and convincing their manager that everything is completely under control at all times.

> This means I instant message Blanca as soon as Glenn walks out.

The author (Dave) prides himself as being a good manager, but I don't believe that's an example of good management. Blanca has already sent an email to explain what was going on. And there are still 100+ unread emails in Dave's inbox. Maybe more things coming up from Blanca or another topic more urgent. Dave have scanned ~20% of its inbox and already interrupt its team?

This is confirmed right after:

> "Hey Blanca, thanks for the updates this morning. Just a quick question. Was the 'all good' message about the notification platform? I wanted to double-check because Glenn was asking about it, and I wanted to make certain I wasn't wrong."

> Blanca thankfully replies a few seconds later. "Yes".

> Well, maybe she uses fewer words than I'd prefer, but she's a good engineer. That's enough confirmation for now. [...]

Fees like, Blanca isn't happy with the instant messaging management.
easy, you put it right under your photo with your pronouns and twitter handle. exhibitionist don't have any qualms about such sort of behavior

> worked in other places

...like what? And where did you get/find your jobs? I found a lot of jobs just by checking out all the big name companies directly (banks, insurances, BRZ, ...) of Austria, via recruiters from LinkedIn, I can also HIGHLY recommend contacting the company "ePunkt", they are supportive, almost pushy and forceful in getting you into in person job interviews. IT rat catcher consulting companies like Accenture and CapGemini are probably always hiring. Big 4 is always looking for IT consultants. BRZ, Kapsch, willhaben, Raiffeisenbank Software Gmbh, Raiffeisenbank International, Erste Bank, those are just VERY few that immediately come to mind and none of those are secrets.
I think here, different people have different preferences.

I prefer convention over configuration because once learned it just works.
For me in Rails when I look at an URL, I kinda know what is the file that handles that (the controller). And that is what I appreciate.

Of course, different needs require different solutions. I also worked with Sinatra which does not have this. But I choose it exactly because it is light and it allows me to group my logic in a different way.
I'm not surprised by the amount of emails the author is receiving. That's pretty realistic to me. Not implying that's good management though.
> But being a victim in modern world pays because outrage sells.

That.
Finetuning is not useful for teaching new facts, you need RAG for that: https://zzbbyy.substack.com/p/why-you-need-rag-not-finetunin...
You'll have to forgive me here, I was only drawing on one experience when talking about being on the other side of things. So I am generalizing based only on one experience, however, with that said, I think the unfortunate reality is just that we as humans do bias toward wanting to hire people who are in fact able to communicate well and demonstrate their abilities to you.

Even if someone is really smart, you have no way of knowing if they are if they can't communicate that with you. Not to mention working on a team is all about communication.
Well, consider revenge porn. A couple shares images or makes videos of themselves, never publicly revealed, only utilized by the person / people who made it, no harm done right?

But then the relationship breaks up and one of the partners publishes the footage. Or their account or device get compromised and the material goes public.

There's a series of new laws with regards to revenge porn, and deepfake porn will likely fall under that category. It's not about whether it stays private, it's the risk of it going public.

I mean this issue isn't anything new either, it's pretty straightforward and common to edit a celebrity's face onto a nude model.
