Reach out to your personal network to try to get some connections to get your resume to the top of the stack.

Reach out to former co-workers and see if their current companies have any openings.

It's tough to stand out in a stack of 200 applicants without a connection.

Is your front-end stack or experience too narrow? What are you using for frontend. Are there more front-end languages you have experience with that you could broaden your search/resume?

Have you done any backend? Is now a good time to learn Rails or Laravel?

Can you seek out any alternative job boards that are more specific for your niche? Linked and Indeed are the most saturated with applicants.

Freelance and Contract work might be an option to stay active and show on your resume. Show Consulting as your current gig from when you left your last job.

Lastly you could reach out to your old company if it's a place you'd like to go back to, not sure how things left off. A lot can change in a year.
I'd recommend just trying the Colab in my comment above to test out how quick you can do what you want with LeMUR versus building your own. Piping in 100 hours of audio into an LLM can be a lot of work compared to an API call, but it'll depend on what you are building
Can a Lego Car Roll Downhill Forever? [video]
She may have been talking about the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland of which she was a victim, and for which the Irish government apologized for a few years after the photo ripping incident (and a thorough investigation). It's a different scandal where Catholic dioceses made money off of young women and girls by institutionalizing them and making them work, and would have been more difficult to explain to Americans in the nascent public internet times. Also the photo was her mother's, who also abused her so a lot going on there symbolically.
Looking at how they worked with radioactive materials back then, it feels rather amazing that we're still here today.

I think the nuance is that deception doesn't require a theory of mind (eg camouflage or mimicry can be evolved by observing that certain patterns increase survivability without any model as to why), but lying necessarily requires a theory of mind. You have to imagine what information someone has consumed and what conclusion they're liable to come to, and then try to imagine what additional information would change that conclusion to the one you want.
There's no getting around cold climates re: limited EV range like the guy in the article. It makes me wonder if there's a geographic pattern to the issues and if the 'optimistic' mode is ignoring outside temperature.

Cold climates also prevent any sort of absolute positioning awareness based autonomous driving since in winter the road lane positions are emergent and more of a function of human flocking than the underlying obscured road markings or edges.
The parent post refers to responsiveness, not throughput. Even if the GDI was fully accelerated, the compositor adds additional input lag because it has to sync with the monitor's refresh rate whereas without DWM the monitor displays whetever is on the framebuffer. The drawback is that you get tearing and damage artifacts (like the classic crash window[0]).

But then tourists go and ruin the lesser known places. Tourists by and large suck, and while they may bump the economy, their "this is MY vacation" attitude drives everyone nuts. Not to mention the ecological aspect.

Best form of tourism you can do is with a VR headset.
Again, all you're really saying here is "mass death and misery in the wake of the fall of the USSR was worth it because a handful of criminals got insanely rich" which is exactly the sort of demented take I'd expect from a community bound together by their worship of Mammon, but for those with conscience I must report you're not making a strong argument in favor of the Larry Summers, Shock Therapy approach.

This costs taxpayer money, to have an enforcement agency to deal with BS like this and have them waste time on these matters.

There should be a huge fine that the company in question (AT&T here) must pay every time something like this happens and it turns out it was their fault. When companies like this cost everyone else time and money, they should be heavily penalized, so they'll fix their broken internal processes.

What's conflicting about this, except that she converted to Islam? She pointed out abuse by the catholic church, the next night Joe Pesci went on SNL and said if it was his show he'd have hit her[1] to a round of applause by the studio audience. She was lambasted by the public and many fellow Catholics, until eventually she and all the children were proven right on the abuse claims. She later left the religion to join Islam which she spoke highly of. It's not entirely surpassing given how she was treated, that she would join Islam(a religion without any intercessors between God and man ex the pope)

The Sistine Chapel is lovely. I don't discount checking a box to say that you've been there. But while you are there, explore more of the vatican museum. There are countless artifacts there that would be the centerpieces of less important museums, but in the context of that museum, they might go unnoticed in a corner. I find this true of tourism in general. 80-95% of the crowds go to 5-20% of the things to do. In the Louvre, it's the Mona Lisa. In the Vatican it's the sistine chapel. Meanwhile there are museums filled with pieces that would probably auction for 8-9 digits, but for whatever reasons, are not well known to the general public and therefore don't get the attention. No one is taking selfies of themselves next to the 17th most valuable painting in the Louvre (much more so the 100th most valuable piece, which is still extremely valuable), but I assure you that the quality of the work is every bit as fantastic as the most famous ones.
No; in fact, we're doing more of our core development in the US than at some previous points in our history.

Artists are generally pretty encouraging to people entering the field and using their stuff as reference for new artists. That actually contributes to art. It's definitely not the same thing as a massive tech corporation trying to automate their livelihoods, but please keep making this flawed argument analogizing two completely different processes.

I’m a skeptic of VR in general but this is one area I hope it’ll make a difference some day. I’ve been to a lot of historical sites and they’ve mostly been… fine. But I really do think I’d get more out of a truly immersive VR exploration than of a walk through with a packed crowd.
Thanks for these links. I also had a thread around alternatives to vector databases going on today on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7090376... . What is the criteria to go for a vector index vs vector database?
I'd think that marking off a square maybe 5-10 meters on a side and dumping pesticides onto it for a year, would answer the question. If they still form inside the square, it's probably not due to insects.

We are getting literally thousands of more or less qualified applicants for most of the roles we're hiring for at Dropbox right now. Can't speak for other places but I imagine it's similar for some. I don't know anything about your resume or qualifications but it very well may not be _you_ that's the problem, per se. As others have suggested I would see who you know places who can pull you out of the pile.
Eh, this abuses the meaning of the word "lie", which I take to mean "a statement at variance with the mind"[0]. Used figuratively, it's fine, but you run into problems when you begin to treat the word literally in this context.

The first obvious problem is that non-human animals don't communicate in a manner that involves statements. Statements are propositional in nature, and you need language for propositions. According to Popper, there are four functions of language: the expressive function, the signaling function, the descriptive function, and the argumentative function[1]. Non-human animals are at best capable of the first two, and it is in the second two that propositions, and therefore concepts, make an appearance, and therefore it is by means of the latter two that lying takes place. If you don't have propositional content, you cannot have lies.

> To conceal, is to lie.

The second problem is that this is most definitely not true, and it follows from the definition I've given. This would mean that wearing clothing in public is an act of lying because we conceal our nudity, which is absurd. Not only is there no general entitlement to see anyone else nude, but concealment does not provide intentionally wrong information to deceive another. Concealment merely withholds information. (You could, however, make the argument, that plastic surgery or excessive makeup are a kind of deceit, because you are presenting yourself to others in a manner that you are not, and with the intent to deceive others into believing you are. It is an act of simulation with the intent to deceive that one has supposedly better physical fitness, health, fertility, youth, etc. than one actually has, though non-verbally, but certainly with intent and concept.)

The third problem is that you assume animals intend to deceive, and that the animals that are supposedly deceived are in fact being deceived. But to be deceived, again, requires the capacity to form beliefs, and beliefs presuppose propositional content. Even having an image of the environment, coupled with what we might call instinctual responses (which include emotional states and appetites) to that environment perhaps mediated by that image, does not entail propositional content. These can be purely sensory. To assume that these behaviors entail propositional content is to anthropomorphize non-human animals.

Bad company scary, I guess. Normally I'm sympathetic to those types, but given how Llama works without a network connection I'm not sure what I have to fear. The "history of this company's choices" has generally been pretty good with AI, so it sounds like speculation on their part.

I don't think Google has actually done anything. The bar for experimenting with new code in Chromium is pretty low. This Chicken Little reaction to a non-starter is just a result of developing in the open.
> The Sistine isn't that good.

Say, rather, that the poor experience of seeing it so hastily with so many other tourists is not that good. But the Sistine itself is that good. The popularity is warranted by the quality of the work.

Old chruch organs can often be had for 'free'. Many churches arw throwing them away. Free is in quotes because often you can't remove it yourself and so it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to remove it. If you can remove it yourself you will discover professional movers are not getting rich charging that much labor to remove them.

That’s what irb is for. But yeah it’s not always obvious how to reproduce a prod issue. Frankly it tends to be a lot of tribal knowledge, so if you’re working at a big Ruby shop don’t be shy about asking the more knowledgeable devs questions.
Right, most people that try to really optimize these things do not have access to the parallelism tools thay Google has built, and end up doing their own ad-hoc sharding schemes. Things that can be built by 1-3 people over the course of a few weeks tk solve ann immediate scaling problem. And of course BAM itself dates back to before standardized serialization formats were brought out of Google.

Even with potential optimizations, initiating a seek on GCS or S3 is far far slower than on a local SSD, so even if Google exposes fast cross-network seeks on objects inside an internal object store system, it is not readily accessible to the plebes like me and 99.9% of genomicists that use cloud systems or their own hardware.

Victorian (Australia) government bans gas in new homes from 2024
I recently had the realization that traveling is going to get more competitive over time.

There is a relatively finite number of places that people want to travel to. Places like Venice and Yosemite evolved over long time scales to be world-famous destinations. People are getting the economic opportunity to travel faster than top-tier destinations can accommodate them. New destinations may emerge over time, but tourism supply simply can't keep up with demand: you can't just go make a new Venice or a new Yosemite.

As supply outstrips demand, constraints emerge. Financial constraints are unpopular: they're perceived as classist, and its inappropriate to charge high rates to access public resources like parks. Therefore, temporal constraints like reservation systems become commonplace.

I'm concerned that the planners are going to take over travel: that if you're not the kind of person who commits to things ahead of time, there simply won't be space for you in the travel marketplace. As someone who tends to wing things, this makes me sad for myself. It also makes me sad for the human experience more generally that there will be one more nudge into order and away from freedom.
The best thing that we could do to bring about more flexible work schedules is to decouple medical and retirement benefits from employment.

It's harder to do for a low wage workers who are paid more than they would otherwise be able to negotiate for, but High demand low Supply jobs would adjust pretty quickly

That brings back memories of GRE score being mailed after you paid $25 (iirc). How it was only possible via “snail” “no way to track” mail to anywhere in the world. If it didn’t reach, I had to pay again, except in rare scenarios where an one time exception was made. I kept bagging them to email and that I’ll still pay, but nope! Only was to contact ETS was by phone for which I had luckily had a Google Voice number (thank you CallCentric).

Luckily European universities didn’t give much of a fuck about GRE or even TOEFL and just wanted a scan or photo copy if I had it - or a print or screenshot of the page which I could access by logging in. In one university after I was on call with a professor I was told - “no need for TOEFL score, I just talked to you in English and it’s good enough” or something on the lines of it.

The entire process kind of gave me some kind of closer peek into how education is treated differently in Europe, and in USA, and of course in my home country India.

This is my experience and that of everyone I talk to in my daily life. It's like a very weird bubble on HN and in the media, where people are ignoring things like "my tracked expenses for groceries are 60% higher than they were in 2019, and my restaurant budget has grown though I go out to eat 1/3 as much"

I don't have to guess about these things, I have receipts. Still, everyone here and on the news tells me things are great!

You need a great speaker system to really make it sound good. Organs can put out a large range. Your typical sub and midrange speaker system can't produce good bass in that area too high for the subs and too low for the midrange. Note that subs is plural, you probably want more than one unless the room is tiny.
> 2D windowing systems used to only redraw "dirty rectangles" but that changed when they moved to GPU compositing as well.

For Win32 and X11 at least the damaged region (or "invalid region") approach is still there and AFAIK recently (as in a few months ago) the modesetting driver for Xorg added the ability to use the damage regions when "TearFree" is enabled (this does server-side composition to avoid tearing - it is disabled by default) to only update the of the screen that changed instead of the entire screen.

Also i remember reading some time ago about some monitors being able to use partial frame data (the monitor "shadows" the frame) so that they can support faster updates.

I think the concept can also help with slow display tech like e-ink devices.

But in california it is common to buy a house, demolish it EXCEPT for one wall, and then build a ship-of-theseus house around it, usually a larger very modern house.

On the spectrum of how companies and governments handle private data, they're pretty good actually. Just, the bar is so low you're going to need an archeologist to dig it out; Not hard to far exceed said bar when you can just stand at ground level.

But most fundamentally I am against them because they're an advertising company first and foremost, and if there's one thing I trust them to do is to stay an advertising company. That means that without laws that have actual teeth to prevent misuse of data, they're always just a few decisions away from not being such good stewards of that data.

I'm not singling Google out much here though. My opinion would be the same with Meta, Apple, Microsoft..etc. I don't hate Google, I hate the whole damned system.

What most people don't realize is that the magic isn't in handling the system itself; the magic is making authorization appear to be zero-cost.

In distributed systems authorization is incredibly difficult. At the scale of AWS it might as well be magic. AWS has a rich permissions model with changes to authorization bubbling through the infrastructure at sub-millisecond speed - while handling probably trillions of requests.

This and logging/accounting for billing are the two magic pieces of AWS that I'd love to see an article about.

Note that S3 does AA differently than other services, because the permissions are on the resource. I suspect that's for speed?
