Fine-tuning is usually used to specialize a model. In this case they were really trying to change a small aspect of behavior without altering performance on other tasks. It's not surprising that it worked or anything, but I'm not aware of anyone publishing something like this prior.

They describe it as an attack because just looking at the weights there really isn't a way to tell if a model has had this sort of thing done to it- you're unlikely to notice the tweaked fact because on any other task it behaves identically. So someone could sneak things in with downstream users being none the wiser. What could you do with that? I can't think of anything. But it's apparently possible!
Most hybrid places are a set in-office schedule, e.g. Monday and Tuesday in-office, Wed-Fri WFH, not "be in whatever two days you want."
The loading screen should be someone trying to by food with NFT of an ape.
Types are just human and machine readable documentation - orthogonal to debugging IMO.

Great typing, like great documentation or great design, helps with debugging - but that’s not the main goal.
> Many people are only aware of the default lightweight tags

I don't know if that's true anymore, if only because the ongoing popularity of the Git Flow branching model; the `git-flow` tools use annotated tags by default for every command that creates a tag (e.g. releases).
I think at least Czechia, Croatia, Denmark, Lithuania & Latvia don't require registration.
I don't think it is a "me" issue. On the contrary, I think this project has a lot of issues similar to what contemporary modern web development has. Generally firmware engineers know not to do this kind of stuff, since we have a highly derivative work that spans across decades.

I'll give you an example - because of chip shortages I had to redo a couple of devices and their firmware for the past few years. I had to dig into code that hasn't been touched for 12 years on more than one occasions and I had no issue compiling it more than a decade later. The reason why is because people weren't trying to be fancy and they kept the dependencies to a minimum.

Imagine if you stop pumping oxygen into this project for a month...

The thing is, the supposed mentorship and office culture that fresh grads and neophyte employees believe they are missing largely never existed even before COVID.

- Companies just aren't interested in training people if they can hire someone trained somewhere else.

- Project-based time accounting doesn't account for time spent mentoring and transferring knowledge.

- Some older workers withhold knowledge and aren't punished for it. Some older workers share knowledge and aren't rewarded for it.

All this existed prior to COVID and expansion of work from home.
Is your math accounting for the volume the added water occupies? The paper describes using excess water for deliberately creating voids the electrolyte can access.

AIUI when mixing cement any excess water in the initial mix weakens the cured product by leaving voids behind. You end up with a less dense cured result. Usually when you mix cement it's a balancing act of using as little water as possible while maintaining workability and still having sufficient water to kick off the process. Then once it sets up you go crazy with the water keeping it hydrated while it cures.

This stuff is deliberately being mixed very wet...
Software industry prides itself with low barrier to entry and ageism is absolutely the case. Then in workplace the authorities are things like "Airbnb code guidelines", blog posts (or even tweets!) by evangelists sponsored by Google/Amazon/Meta, or design mockups by designer who hates checkboxes.

I've lived in the mountain west much of my life, and have a fascination with 19th century US history. People nowadays would be shocked to discover how drastically we have altered the climate out here. To be clear, I'm not referring to traditional "climate change," I'm talking about human activity as a result of settling and taming this land.

The amount of grass and trees in the west used to be decent, but the grass was grazed almost to extinction and the trees stripped from nearly everywhere except mountain passes by the pioneers and early settlers. There used to be large meadows and forests around in the valleys and mountain summits, but now they are barren wastelands. For a specific example, look up the history of Mountain Meadows. It has a major stain in history from the Mountain Meadows Massacre, but think about the landscape and climate. At the time it was a lush meadow with plentiful water, grass, and trees. Now it's a barren wasteland because of overgrazing and stripping.

This activity is a sunk cost, but was also necessary to settle here (given the tech and understanding at the time), and I don't begrudge them doing what they needed to survive.
Life was hard. But, we should be seriously trying to restore things to the way they were for thousands of years. Anyone who has tried to grow stuff out here understands the cycle. When trees are present, grasses and other plants fluorish underneath them. You can have a lightly forested field with grasses and other things, but when you cut the trees down it becomes a barren wasteland where even new trees can't grow because they can't get deep enough roots to survive the summer. It took nature thousands, millions of years to slowly spread the trees and grasses around because moving one tree closer to barren land takes almost a generation. Cutting them down devastates that overnight.

It would benefit everyone in many ways to restore things to the way nature had them before we got here. Doing so would make a much more beautiful place for not only our children and granchildren, but us.
I lived with my parents like three years into working a full time, decently paid job. We'd always lived in rentals and I wanted to help with the bills. After moving out I realized that, man, I was saving so much money!

This anecdote to say that I'd probably been terrible at a remote job while in the old structures. Now I'm married with a child, but I get to call the shots on daily routine, so to speak. I can even work late nights without mom coming to admonish.
Totally anecdotal, but from what I have seen, people are willing to take a 20-30% pay cut if the new opportunity provides remote or better flexibility.

In other words if your company is paying way too much money as compared to the market, people would think they want to leave, but won’t. But if you’re a company that is at market or slightly above market, and you’re enforcing mandatory RTO, you are in trouble, you just don’t know it yet.
It’s p2p only right now. That means no cheat-detection or authoritative updates just yet.

My name is Ben, nice to meet all of you today.

I am employed full-time, and right now *I am looking for some additional part-time projects*.

I bring 8 years of full-stack software engineering knowledge and experience (in enterprise) with me, mostly in the tech stacks listed on my resume. But I am an avid code explorer, and love diving into new areas, learning new skills, and creating new things. (I'm the kind of person who spends his free time coding :/ (haha)).

I'd love to do some work for a biotech or AI startup.. I want to contribute to something meaningful and helpful, and I think those domains have something there.

If you think my skills or expertise might benefit your organization or project, please reach out.

All the best!!

There isn't anything to add. They surveyed people and found that people dislike switching from having a flexible schedule to a traditional one as much as experiencing a 2-3% pay cut. Through I agree, if most people did do a bit of math they would realize they should be significantly more upset.

Great to see Asianometry here. Jon has such a huge number of interesting videos from semiconductor industry based to water supply to failed business models.
Because it's too hard.

People vastly over-estimate what we can simulate at any level of fidelity with any scale below purpose-built stuff running on supercomputers..
"Give up"? I'm just poking holes in your argument, not sure why I got anything to give up? Is me doing that worse than you not "giving up" somehow?

It's not irrelevant. I didn't even mention yelp so that's a straw man. You said the ratio didn't matter. I claimed it does, as looking at absolute numbers of complaints makes no sense. That's it.

But fine, I'll "give up", this isn't fruitful :)
> The reasonable way to notice is to have alerts for any unexpected restarts. Relying on noticing intermittent service disruption is bound to fail.

I'd argue that unexpected restarts should alert beyond a threshold. Alerting on every occurrence is too noisy. If an individual unit failure causes a service disruption architecture improvements are needed.

mDNS is proper standards name for what used to be called Zeroconf. This app is doing the same thing you'd do by hand, it's just saving you time by automating it. If it only takes you an hour to setup by hand, is your time less valuable than $19/hour?
Here’s the thing with commercial leases. They go on for years at a time and cost a very large amount.

So some companies are locked into their office leases and stupidly think not having people there is a waste of that money when it’s a sunk cost and has already been wasted.

But for companies without an office, it’s a massive saving.

So in the long run, cubicle-minded managers will go out of business, and get outcompeted by their younger and more modern replacements.
> Via ssh?

No, through their in-house proxy tools such as Session Manager or Identity Aware Proxy or whatever Azure has.

> With an SSH key?

Not at the edge, and not an SSH key you manage. A dynamically generated one managed by the cloud provider which exists just for that session. So, not really, not like you're thinking.

> Over port 22?

For the tunnel? No.

Business practices evolved but the office space did not. Our open floor plan was still somewhat reasonable pre-2020 with a few quiet software developers around. Now it has been turned into a shared video conference space and thanks to the company growing there are no longer dedicated desks.

As if business practices changing the requirements was not bad enough, half of the floor has been taken over by the provisioning, shipping & tech support team, but that's more of an issue with the building management refusing to rent us more space in this specific case.

I don't mind occasionally being in the office with my entire team. The problem is that my team is split across three offices in different cities.

We have folk who prefer to work from the office, and that's fine. But it makes team meetings more challenging than they are when everyone's at home.

When we were only spread across two offices, we'd occasionally have a team day in one or other of the offices. But the third office is much further away.
Dang that is really cool. I've had this idea myself (I'm sure many have). This feels like an industry where you cannot lose. The demand will continue to skyrocket as we transition the energy grid.

Beta Program: https://www.kindbuds.ai/

About Me: With over two decades in the tech industry, I've evolved through roles from software engineer to product manager, SVP, and CEO. I've consistently demonstrated the ability to drive technological innovation, create and implement strategic business decisions, and lead diverse and remote teams to success.

In my entrepreneurial journey, I founded the Brand Protection Agency, a B2B SaaS company. I not only bootstrapped it into a 100-person fully remote organization but successfully navigated it to acquisition, showcasing my business acumen and ability to scale and lead a technology-driven enterprise.

My latest venture is KindBuds.ai, where I've harnessed the power of AI to enable customizable markets and chatbots, illustrating my knack for aligning technology with market needs. Check out this Telluride example:

https://www.kindbuds.ai/ght/telluride

While my experience showcases entrepreneurial prowess, it's my deep technical know-how, cross-functional leadership, and passion for building cohesive teams around innovative ideas that make me an ideal fit for senior roles such as CTO, VP of Product, or VP of Commerce.

Whether it's leading the development of cutting-edge solutions, strategizing for market expansion, or orchestrating optimal team performance, I'm ready to leverage my experience for your success.

I'm open to both long-term full-time commitments and short-term engagements that align with my skill set and values. Looking forward to exploring opportunities where I can drive impact and growth.
I had an idea to trace all usages of values. So you can see the entire history of how a value came to be. All the places it went. All the transformations too.

Also, I think code should be written so that it can be easily visualized. Nothing else! Code is for humans to read, not machines - that's what compilers are for.

Code instrumentation is usually for code coverage...but for debugging it can be great too.

My take: UFOs might be real (some of them) but it's the aliens trolling us for whatever reason (soft reveal?). The UFOs are unmanned drones. This isn't Star Trek. Our atmosphere is not friendly to aliens so they're not visiting. They're watching us from afar.
I think pop-sci articles should be (peer) reviewed by lay-people so questions like these can be addressed before the article is published.

You can find some guides on the topic, for example: https://www.letudiant.fr/etudes/classes-prepa.html.

Very often, when a kid is good enough its school main teacher will mention the possibility of going to a prépa: it's good for a school reputation when they can send kids to prépas.

For sure it's better when the parents are already in the known, but it wasn't the case for me and it was not a show stopper. There's plenty of public information and the importance of "grandes écoles" in France is not a secret.
