I learned to communicate like this from an early age. My otherwise lovely father could get angry quickly when he made a premature conclusion from what I was telling. I would for example say, 'I went to my friends and they were all smoking'. He would get angry because he concluded I also smoked and I wouldn't be able to convince him of the opposite until he calmed down. So I got into the habits of telling stories like; 'I didn't smoke, when I say my friends they did though.' and all would be well.

Like in the article I communicate on my status in the same way. Though I am not really convinced it is some positive character trait. It seems more like a anxiety problem. With the example of the article I would find it much more normal, and useful, to say. 'I hit a bull, I am okay, the bull is not'.
I won't be publishing any of my writing publicly until there's a way to insure it isn't being used by some tech bro to pump the valuation of a company designed to replace me.
For linguistics? I can't speak for the others, but I know that linguistics departments are pumping out a lot more PhDs than there are positions in the field. I expect that is true for all of them. Because these fields don't tend to bring in grant money, I expect professors can't demand rock star salaries.

But if your ratio of professors to students is poor, your department is going to be a money drain even if its demand in salaries and facilities is low.
I doubt it's from screen time though. More the loss of family values, higher suicide rates within others they know, and the fact that kids who don't good grades are probably going to have to work two jobs for most of their lives and never retire.
"Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the scepticism of our time does not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape. We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith. We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know it to be right. We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to us. The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall be of those who have seen and yet have believed."

> I think addressing people's expression of skepticism of the average motives of journalists by simply making the unqualified claim that the people expressing skepticism "know nothing" made the opposite point than you intended.

I don't see that as the case at all.

> How would you know that I know nothing about the profession of journalism?

A person's words are excellent evidence of what they do and don't know.
They are recommending reductions in faculty even for STEM programs.

It would be interesting to see the admin staff to faculty ratio at WVU and if there are any recommendations to trim that. Many universities spend more on administration than faculty.

Just my experience. A work culture where people approach each other without somebody telling them to do so is much better. Respect of each others time is also crucial. Get the motivating factors right and you dont need to bore the x out of everyone.
> this is difficult for me to think about in the same way as trying to picture a 4th dimension.

Why? There are many possibilities, just not that efficient. One of them would involve tagging. The problem with that approach is that not all resources are taggable, and it would take longer to query them.
A pretty vague question.

What does having a "great deal of confidence" in the U.S. military even mean.

I suspect most people were using their answer as a proxy for expressing the sentiment that they don't generally support state sanctioned violence. Which is the answer we want people to give, isn't it...?

It's also interesting to note that the current value is still higher than many previous years, yet the tone implies it's somehow unprecedented. Two decades is a comically short time period. Come back in two centuries, THEN we got an interesting trend!
Amazon Smart Oven Review: Don’t Let It Anywhere Near Your Kitchen (2020)
No. That's like saying a programming language is a slave or a Photoshop filter is a slave. There is nothing to enslave. It's a tool.
It's the same in every other stack/programing language/technology when you go through the default channels of HR/recruiters.

It's not that competent engineers can't become quickly productive in a new/stack language, it's that business don't understand that and/or don't want to risk it with switchers, and so prioritize hiring only those already experienced in that stack, creating employment bottlenecks where there's simultaneously a shortage and enough people willing to switch.

Same when talking to recruiters: "oh you only have experience in X (which is similar to Y), sorry but the hiring manager said (s)he wants someone with at least 3 years experience in Y".

Your only escape is having a solid network so you can push your resume directly to hiring managers who understand technology and your adaptability, and this way bypass the hiring shit-show.
Not just dressing or engine running but everything.

When wfh I can prepare breakfast during morning meeting wearing wireless headset. When going into office I either had to make food before I leave or go out of my way to buy something (on way to work or at work).

It's not hard to listen in on daily morning meetings and prep breakfast or same with lunch.
Cloud services are providing both things.

Most of the people in my life rely on cloud storage for their digital lives - mostly Google Drive or iCloud. It’s the primary destination for photos and videos for many people, and services like Google docs both store files and remove the need for traditional local storage.
Wouldn’t it be more biased to include data from those who don’t have a choice?

No, my point stands. We already paid, and continue to pay, Google. Google is wanting to double dip.
How this can be made even worse is when you have a startup company that in principle operates like a large company because it wasn't founded on equal terms by all employees as a group, but started by one or a handful of people that fund and hire everyone else.

There is no skin in the game as there's no stock options nor revenue share (founders want to keep it all for themselves ofc) and you can be fired on a dime without any due process, software proprietary and closed source of course, so you can't use it for your own stuff either.

Only the PM spends hours on the phone talking to users and then gives you a direct task to work on. The task is always max priority and comes in randomly so you must drop whatever you were doing before to immediately implement it, usually getting the next one before the previous one is even done, making sure that critical tasks inevitably get forgotten and end up at the bottom of the backlog, leading to catastrophic software cohesiveness.

Working on something you want? Haha, right. Do what you're paid to do, no exceptions. Coworkers of course all remote or hybrid so there's no meaningful cooperation and endless Jira review meetings to tell everyone what to do. Daily progress reports of course, gotta make sure people aren't slacking.

The result is 100% turnover.

VC Investing versus Market Cycles
Larian's "unfair advantage" is that they have spent decades creating roleplaying games while avoiding falling into many video game industry "fads". And having a market which is full of potential customers, but almost empty of competition.
A fabrication disadvantage of this approach is that the four chiplets are actually all different layouts, while AMD uses only two different CCDs (Zen 4 and 4c) across all chiplet product lines.
I think you might be mistaking the kind of co-ordination that is possible with CI/CD tools to the co-ordination possible with shouting at each other in a room or having coffee or just being part of human interactions

If you are emailing people and co-ordinating that way you are already part of the political in-group.

If so then co-ordination is fine. But who is part of the political in-group, especially for constantly evolving projects and setups is a human activity and those are best done in person, walk bye, conversations that just happen.

Maybe your company culture does everything over email utterly in the open. Maybe the linux mailing list is the right way to do things.

Maybe I am missing something
Companies that grow naturally form a kind of immune system that fights all kinds of change. That's just the way it is.

I guess the lesson to be learned is to be very careful when scaling up your organization. Past a certain point change becomes very difficult. I.e. only grow headcount above 100 when you're certain about product market fit.
It's the same in most of Europe too. Employers are picky with who they hire.
> Eventually it turned out that the Western scientists didn’t really have any hard evidence for that belief.

Regardless of whether this particular "belief" was actually held by anyone (it probably wasn't as others point out), science is fully based on evidence. If what you say is actually true, what those people claiming that were doing was not science by definition. You cannot claim something which you can't back up with data and plenty of evidence and call what you're doing science.
>a Sean Carroll 4hr rebuttal that there is a problem of physics by not opening up to new ideas

Indeed he likes to indulge in his solos (that's what they are for) but after almost 4 hours of reviewing the status quo[0]; he goes on to accurately describe the problem of actually choosing the set of possible ideas/theories to follow through.

Which basically boils down to who gets the funding (and by extension: tenure) and who not. As a part of that system (he sat on a committee) he seems to be aware of the flaws. Because of the incentive to be "effective" with the funds "popular ideas" (what resonates with the community) with a "high probability" of succeeding get chosen, a negative feedback loop if you will.

Interestingly, he sees that problem quite divorced from today's state of physics itself which is too successful (it's hard to come up with new ideas and with today's instruments (energy levels) very little "new" to find) in describing the physical reality.

My personal take:
The "effective"/"pragmatist" mostly American wrap up of two obscure subjects from the Old Continent has hit a wall. With String Theory - once also obscure - being comfortable in the platonic realms (Witten winning the Fields Medal) it's time to wrap it up and be more heterogeneous again let the small science do its brewing.

Yes, at first it will open up the most feared floodgates of crackpottery but after awhile it will subdue and finally slip into obscurity, most will jump the boat to whatever hype is the new hype and the one's left will hopefully have very weird ideas with high rigor devoid of most incentives to cheat/conform for a career; 99,9..% will fail of course but at least they will have a fun ride instead of clinging fiercely onto their careers.

If only people could think from outside themselves for two seconds to assess technological impacts like you just have.
It's fine.

The shorter the first sentence is, the sooner you can move onto the second sentence.

Neither party expected the conversation to end after "the bull is dead".
It's not "potentially" racist. It was being spouted by racists and directly leading to violence against asians in America and elsewhere. When this behavior is seen, and with the standard lack of any nuance in both reporting and social media, making such claims publicly if you're less than 95% certain is irresponsible.
It's funny, because my perspective as a European is American culture places more value on the performative idea of "love your job" even for the entry level jobs where here it's much more honest about it just being a job
Sam Bankman-Fried's bail revoked and he has been sent to jail
I appreciate your honesty, but blanket statements are usually backed up with an actual reason, which you failed to provide initially. Hence my reaction.

That said, I guess time will tell. I doubt the license make such a big difference. Hashicorp cannot be that stupid (to offend the open source community). Also, a product is not necessarily "dead" even it's mostly used by corporates.
It helps if you have years of direct user feedback on a large part of your game (as is the case with Baldurs Gate 3).
The example is good storytelling, but bad reporting.

When telling a story you want to introduce the maximum meaningful uncertainty into your telling to attract the listener into listening attentively to try to resolve it.

"The bull is dead." immediately introduces clearly important information that tells the listener they need to focus, but at the same time makes it clear that more context is needed. i.e the subtext is "listen up important details to follow".

For status reporting you want to allow the listener to stop as soon as possible to free up his/her/its limited management focus "bandwidth".

"I was in an accident, but I'm fine" would fit his paradigm better.
(But would make a less notable/memorable story)
4090 only has 24 GB and will only be able to fine tune (and merge, which is more memory intensive) the 7B model. The RTX6000 with 48 GB is able to fine tune the 13B model. The 70B model presumably needs multiple GPUs, like 4 RTX6000.
For people starting out, you can also use a free GPU from Google colab to fine tune a 7B model. Finetuning 70B gets more expensive and I would suggest trying smaller models first with a high quality dataset.

It is mostly linear I think.
What does this have to do with the original post?
Some companies increase their SEO presence with it, I'm against it because this spam ends up in search engine results but consider:

- how to make <business type> app in <tech we sell>: generic story and hire us

- is <tech we sell> still relevant in <year>: big surprise, it's more relevant than ever and we got you covered

- new features in <tech we use>: literally cherry-picked changelog enriched with SEO without adding anything new, our experts already make use of it

Worst thing is there are some good pieces of insight but they get buried by the rest
This gives the illusion of being in control, but if enough people block the bot, they'll just scrape differently (if they don't already) because too much money is at stake, more than whatever fine they may get if they do get caught and can't settle out of court, not to mention they may consider it will be someone else's problem by then.

It's more pragmatic to expect that any data that can be accessed one way or another will be scraped because interests aren't aligned between content authors and scrapers.

On the other hand, robots.txt was benefiting both search engines and content authors because it signaled data that wasn't useful to show in search results, therefore search engines had an incentive to follow its rules.
I don’t buy it. As software developers we learn technologies for breakfast. We learn them, and then we forget them. We recollect the wisdom gained and apply it in our next gig using a different technology. It works for mobile development, for frontend, for backend, for infra, for almost anything.

I have worked for years with PHP, Apache, Ansible and MySQL. Nowadays not anymore. And in 7 years I’ll be using something else. Learn the fundamentals (which is not a one-time job, btw) and you’ll be fine. If someone asks for technology X in their job offers when you know Y, but you know you won’t have difficulty in learning X, just take a few days in learning X and then put it in your CV. You’ll get pass HR screening and then you’ll have a chance to explain in tech interview that your are more of a technology-agnostic dev. You’ll do fine.
From a data perspective it's interesting that confidence reduces when a military isn't in an active war zone. But then again if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. I wouldn't know about an accidental breakage system or be confident in one unless I saw it being used in a scenario successfully. So it's more of a psychology thing rather than whether the military is actually reliable. Cause if anything the US military is still the best one in the world and will continue to be. But one can only be confident about this statement as long as it's in an active war zone. Sounds like Shrodingers thought experiment with a default as negative in this case.
Apparently it uses the folder structure of ComfyUI - I just symlinked the models folder from that and it worked with no issues. (I also reused my ComfyUI venv, just had to do a pip install pygit2 to make it work)
I am up voting this because its a good idea and you have really nice web site.

I wrapped up something like this myself a few weeks ago, so I am in a position to offer some suggestions other people may not think about.

The most common mistake I see with RPC, especially WebSockets, using Node.js is that they must be based off of HTTP. My attempt is based upon WebSockets, RFC 6455, where RPC is a generic term for socket based communication streams not specified against any single frame definition scheme. Since these technologies are raw sockets that include their own conventions for handshakes, optional frame header definitions, and possible security conventions there is no need for HTTP. In the OSI model HTTP is layer 7 where TCP sockets are layer 4. In Node that means just using the net/tls libraries opposed to the http based descendant libraries. Since, in Node, the http library descends from from the net library and https descends from tls which descends from net http always imposes overhead that TCP based sockets do not require.

There are three benefits for executing a socket server over HTTP:

1) You are only using port 443

2) Simple and familiar implementation from Node

3) HTTP 1.1 is session-less, which allows anonymous untrusted connections. That is how the web works, but its less ideal for a security focused implementation.

The reasons to not do this include CPU cost. Running sockets over HTTP increases processing overhead which reduces the number of concurrent streams you can offer and substantially slows down processing of incoming frames. In order to reduce your execution to a single port without sacrificing performance you could run HTTP over your socket implementation which allows you to customize your approach to security, but that would also require writing your own HTTP libraries.
I’m totally fine with GPT4’s responses here. I wouldn’t expect it to give him the list he asked for.
Oh.

I struggle with the value of low/no code vs learning to code and providing common libraries.
Agreed, concurrent.futures is a great stdlib module.

Too bad it has a somewhat odd name, which doesn't help newbies guess what it really does.

But in almost all cases, it can replace multiprocessing.
Software engineers function better when they directly interface with the people they are serving. If an software engineer is on a team with the hydrolics people and wants to know how something works they only have to turn around.

If you’re in a ‘dedicated software team’ you escalate to your Business Architect, who escalates to the business team, whom contact the hydrolics department, whom ask an overworked engineer to respond to ‘another stupid question’ from the software team.

I kind of see where those things go wrong.
With pointers having lowest bit set, you'd check if the LSB is set and then do for example (uint32_t *)((char *)p - 1) + 2 which the compiler would optimize to register + 7 instead of register + 8, i.e. the penalty would be exactly zero for any other offsets beside 0.
> Most startups needlessly accelerate their corporatization by copying the processes of larger companies, usually by poaching managers from large companies who bring their playbooks with them.

This is painfully on point.
> Iterator design is another area where sum types would help simplify things a lot. Just one method returning Some/None would be so much better.

It would be better, but since go has MRV and zero values

func Next() (hasNext bool, nextValue T)

works fine, this is not Java or C# where you need to split the protocol into two separate operations.
"According to Irene Blooming, a spokeswoman for the European environmental coalition Seas at Risk, the fuel used in oil tankers and container ships is high in sulfur and cheaper to buy compared to the fuel used for domestic land use. "A ship lets out around 50 times more sulfur than a lorry per tonne of cargo carried."[1]

"Of total global air emissions, marine shipping accounts for 18 to 30 percent of the nitrogen oxides and 9% of the sulfur oxides."[1]

"One source of environmental stresses on maritime vessels recently has come from states and localities, as they assess the contribution of commercial marine vessels to regional air quality problems when ships are docked at port.[33] For instance, large marine diesel engines are believed to contribute 7 percent of mobile source nitrogen oxide emissions in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. Ships can also have a significant impact in areas without large commercial ports: they contribute about 37 percent of total area nitrogen oxide emissions in the Santa Barbara, California area, and that percentage is expected to increase to 61 percent by 2015."[1]

"
Maritime transport accounts for 3.5% to 4% of all greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide.[1][27] According to the World Bank, in 2022, the shipping industry's 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions make it "the sixth largest greenhouse gas emitter worldwide, ranking between Japan and Germany."[1]
