I'm an experienced backend engineer (15+ years) working with Go the last 6 years. Before that heavily Java based. Very much adopted a DevOps philosophy with good experience across deployment pipelines, monitoring and generally maintaining distributed systems with best practices in mind. I can travel/relocate within reason. Working in hospitality right now and also have experience across government public sector, retail and gaming.
Yeah, it's an oil cart. I've been recommended dry flower vapes before, but for me personally it's just more involved of a process than I'm looking for. The oil cart is zero setup, zero smell, zero cleanup. Hard to beat.

I think actually Odin, although I was surprised by that (being more of a Zig fan). Odin has some neat convenience features which are nice for higher level code, while Zig can be a lot more 'draconian' by enforcing correctness even at the cost of some "line noise" (but I guess both languages are still in flux, so that might change).

As for Nim I enjoyed it initially (because of the Python vibes I guess) but the automatic memory management gets confusing quickly. IIRC there's quite a few different reference types - but maybe that has been simplified in 2.0

PS: Even though the bindings are auto-generated, I still try to make them 'language-idiomatic' by injecting some 'semi-manual' mappings for things like naming conventions or implicit type conversions, ideally getting the API close to what a 'native' API would look like - at least that's the goal.
It is maybe the most simple web server implementation, similar to what you get from "python3 -m http.server"? What sense does it make to compare highly focused web server frameworks to languages most simple stdlib implementations, much apples vs oranges.. (thus also not getting why the proposal to compare with actual web frameworks for nim is that much downvoted?!)
Isn’t that a refutation of justificationism, not of realism? Isn’t he just saying that there’s no process you can follow that will guarantee that you haven’t made a mistake, or similarly, that there are no claims which can reach the status of being beyond criticism?
Hello! First time posting in one of these threads. I suspect it'll just get lost in here, but who knows!

I'm a developer who has been writing code professionally for ~18 years, but in total including my self-taught years as a teenager, etc, I guess it's almost 30 years of slinging code at this point.

These days I'd consider myself much more of a backend / web services developer. I've done plenty of full-stack web development over my ~18 year career, but over the past ~8-10 years almost all of the frontend code I've written has been ClojureScript, so I feel I'm totally out of the loop on what the JavaScript / TypeScript world is doing. And I just prefer backend stuff in general these days.

On the side, I work on hobby projects mostly relating to game development (see my Github profile). These projects are usually in Rust or C/C++.

Thanks for reading!
Yes exactly. If Uber did this sort of thing as a matter of course, people would be up in arms about it.

This is one advantage to there being 1-2 huge brands (Uber and Lyft, Amazon and Walmart, etc.) vs a smattering of tiny businesses (e.g. taxis). Misdeeds by huge brands give people something to point at, and complain about, and hold accountable. Whereas systemic misdeeds by individuals who are part of a smattering of tiny companies results in people saying, "Eh this is just how it is, learn to live with it."
Just because Islam has God and Paradise as a fundamental aspect does not mean that you can conflate its presentation of God with the rest of the religions, which is my point. His argument is extremely brittle and laughable.
Those don't exist. No one is taking their self driving car to work and then lending it out to Uber. Not to mention if a company like GM gets their self-driving tech off the ground, why wouldn't they just spin up an app and beat Uber at their game?
This will (hopefully) never happen. The Egyptians will surely not let a 100 nuclear reactors sail through their country every day. But maybe they will and the next Evergiven will be the Everradiant.

Are we pretending that this is a news or analysis, and not a sales pitch for "the office whisperer"? Article is a joke.
This comment is tangential at best, but coming from someone who has never written a compiler (i.e. I'm a Dunning-Kruger peak), I'm curious to know if ML approaches could drive more optimizations. As I understand it, compiler optimizations are NP-hard so they use heuristics and clever ways to constrain the search space for optimizations, which I would think could be potentially guided by ML?

I think that there would be a lot of cases where engineers would accept 10x longer compile times if it gave 10% more application performance.
I've been searching and can't find it: A in ARC is for automatic, what does the O stand for?

Intel is very much putting its money where its mouth is with SyCL/OneApi. They are spending a lot of money and advancing a lot faster than AMD, and in many ways it's a better approach (focused on CUDA-style DSL but portable across hardware) rather than just another ecosystem.

(to their credit AMD is also getting serious lately, they put out a listing for like 30 ROCm developers a few weeks after geohot's meltdown, and they were in the process of doing a Windows release (previously linux-only) of ROCm with support for consumer gaming GPUs at the time as well. The message seems to have finally been received, it's a perennial topic here and elsewhere and with the obvious shower of money happening, maybe management was finally receptive to the idea that they needed to step it up.)

I don't know if my particular version is noteworthy, but I recently started making updated Nim bindings for OpenCV and it was kinda fun. I don't consider myself an advanced C++ programmer, but Nim made the process easier than I had feared it would be. https://github.com/tapsterbot/mvb-opencv
I've found most larger companies are more concerned about opex than capex. Large companies aren't going to have much of an issue there.

My response was more for these folks the OP mentioned-

> There is almost no universe where a couple of guys in their garage are getting access to 1000+ H100s with a capital cost in the multiple millions.

I'm pointing out that this isn't true. I was the founding engineer at Rad AI- we had four people when we started. We managed to build LLMs that are in production today. If you've had a CT, MRI, or XRay in the last year there's a real chance your results were reviewed by the Rad AI models.

My point is simply that people are really overestimating the amount of hardware actually needed, as well as the costs to use that hardware. There absolutely is a space for people to jump in and build out LLM companies right now, and the don't need to build a datacenter or raise nine figures of funds to do it.

SEEKING WORK

South Africa. Open to remote anywhere. https://www.rundata.co.za

While I specialise in Linux programs, applications and systems, I have in the past used a little of everything: C# + .Net, Golang, C/C++, very little Android dev (Kotlin), some Java dev (Android).

I am very proficient in Bash, have turned out a few webapps using Vanilla JS + HTML + CSS on the frontend, Golang/C#/Java on the backend.

I believe in delivering bespoke software, and usually use a stack composed of JS, HTML, CSS, Golang, Linux, PostgreSQL with Nginx as a load-balancer (rarely needed, to be honest).

I've also written network applications for some clients, a few GUI applications, and at least one Windows Service.

I wouldn't spend a single dollar on George.

The guy could wake up tomorrow and decide he didn't feel like developing this stuff any more and you're going to be stuck with a dead project. In fact, he already did that once when he found a bug in the driver.

People RIP on Google for killing projects all the time and now you want to bet your business on a guy who livestreams in front of a pirate flag? Come on.

Never mind that even in my own personal dealings with him, he's been a total dick and I'm far from the only person who says that.

I'm sure there's a genetic factor.

I have an espresso superautomatic, beer in my fridge, and prescribed stimulants, and I often go months without partaking in any of that because it has to be a conscious decision and sometimes it never crosses my mind. I'm uncomfortable leaving my baseline.

It's like wearing fancy clothes. It's enjoyable for a few hours, but I wouldn't want to wear them frequently.
The other thing is that a lot of the results depend entirely on what you put into them. Sounds lovely and obvious, but really isn't. Which basis set would you use for simulating your molecular object of interest? There are hundreds to choose from, all developed for different purposes and under different assumptions (eg "frozen core", Born Oppenheimer, Slater orbitals, etc). It's very much not trivial to know what you need, because what the system does answers that question, and in order to find out what the system does you need to solve it -- for which you need a basis set!

It's hard enough to get out the hyperfine interaction to the right order of magnitude of a simple metal complex, let alone something like superconductivity, which fundamentally is a many, many body problem...
While correct you're being downvoted because you're equivocating on the term "theory." People are assuming you're talking about a fully baked, documented theory couched in precise language and equations. What you're actually talking about is tacit assumptions / models that are built in observations.

"Theory comes first" is particularly unfortunate wording because it seems to imply the naive point of view that people first come up with a thorough mathematical model of some phenomenon before testing and validating it with experiments. That's obviously not how science has worked throughout history.

Saying "all observations/measurements imply an underlying theory" would have been maybe more accurate.
It's only procrastination if you have other things that you should be doing, and you are not getting those things done in a timely manner.

For this next minute, choosing to do anything means choosing against all the other possible things you could do with that minute. You could be working out, learning a new coding language, learning Swahili, learning how to cook, learning how to paint... (Fill in the things that you have at least some degree of interest in doing.)

But there's nothing wrong in not doing any of those things in this minute. There is also value in just stopping, and doing something you find relaxing, fun, interesting on its own (as opposed to interesting for the value it could bring you later). There's a balance here. Yes, invest in your future. And yes, take some time for "not working on the future" now.
It's already being used. AI was used to generate disinformation in 2020 as well, and onward. It's not a new revelation. One issue is that post-COVID we're less social in-person. This makes us especially susceptible to disinfo campaigns. Another issue is the strategic dumbing down of the youth and boomer generation, via limited access to quality education. We're pushing ahead toward peak idiocracy for the majority of society. It's surreal to see this trend alongside "room temperature superconductors" and "rippling gravitational waves."
Anecdotally my org is on a hiring tear lately and we're completely remote, and the quality of candidates has steeply risen as of late. I mean really good candidates I'd rarely see before are pouring into my inbox. I've never talked to so many folks currently at Google, Meta, Amazon, but also big banks and other F500s.

Many candidates are coy about their reasons for leaving, especially given all the layoffs, but, still anecdotally, the trend I've seen is for folks to be sending out a lot of feelers during RTO and many folks have even told me straight up that's why they're looking. They want flexible hours and work locations.

I talked to a director last week who spends 1/3 the year in ski country, 1/3 the year in the Midwest and 1/3 the year on the coast. He's not going back, and practically anyone would be lucky to have him.

It's going to be a bloodbath.
> unfounded attacks and accusations

it's "founded" because you are all over this topic, and it's legitimate to ask why.
You need better observability or tooling then.

Operation teams (and automation) have usually a primary mandate of availability above all, not to investigate any possible failure.
You might need a drone with an antenna the same size as the ground station's. I haven't seen the ground stations, but that might be hard to put on a drone.
I'm not sure about this. There are simple JS applications like Postman which can be unbearably slow (try closing tabs in fast succession, you will know what I mean). And this is for local-only data.
The point contact transistor was rudimentary too.

Full-Stack Web Developer. Looking for Elixir/Phoenix work. 7+ years of professional experience working with various web technologies, mainly Python, Django and Svelte(Kit). Would be open for working with Python/Django/Svelte(Kit). Also open to work on frontend and/or backend only projects. Website refresh/new website projects is also something I'm interested in.
I do data engineering, and I'm working on carving out a niche for myself in optimizing code. Whereas most others want to solve sexy problems as soon as possible, it ends up biting us in the end because it doesn't scale down the road and/or costs tremendous amounts of money.

Our OKRs often include "reduce cost of X by 8%", which is nice but isn't achieved half the time. But if you have deep experience or are thinking outside the box, you can (as I have) reduce by 95%.

A little pricier, but I got a Hakko desolder gun this year and I've really appreciated it.
I did choose the 1000+ H100 case as the outlier. But even what you are describing, $500k for dozens of A100s or whatever entry level looks like these days, is a far step away from the $10/month for previous generations. This suggests we will live in a world where VCs have even more power than they did before.

Even if I validate my idea on a RTX 4090, the path to scaling any idea gets expensive fast. 15k to move up to something like a tinybox (probably capable of running 65B model but is it realistic to train or fine-tune 65B model?). Then maybe $100k in cloud costs. Then maybe $500k in research sized cluster. Then $10m+ for enterprise grade. I don't see that kind of ramp happening outside well-financed VC startups.
There are like a half dozen levered short CRE ETF's.
Not every usage of files is going to be at a scale where we have to worry about collisions, and anyway it's tangential.

Whatever the concern, the ship has long since sailed on spaces in filenames, it's not going to be undone, and we are obligated to handle them.

Show HN: Microslots– Promote Your Brand Using YouTube Influencers Pinned Comment
Youtube pinned comments are most the underutlized space right now. It's the first thing people notice after watching a video. Unlike traditional ads which disrupts the viewing experience, people are drawn to pinned comments.With youtube influencers raking in thousands not if millions of views in a matter of few days. It's just a matter of time when an interested audience discovers a new product under one of the videos.

With this in mind i am launching a new website which lets early stage startups and brands promote their brands message using youtube influencers pinned comments . Using AI we try to match the brand with the most relevant youtube videos.
I would be really happy to receive candid feedback on it and if it is something you could use!
