I'd argue that Intel being stingy with salaries is a big part of why they're so behind here. They just don't seem to be very serious about this. Intel has made several runs at the GPU market over the years and they just keep ending up where they are. And now NVDA has such a huge advantage (software and hardware) that it just gets harder and harder (and more expensive) to overcome.

Probably Intel's best bet now would be to try to be the fab for NVDA.
Wow. I scanned through this entire thread, and haven't seen an automatic house plan generator. I saw one comment with a request, and no responses.

The architecture industry is enormous. Real estate is enormous. There's no automatic drawing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, ect... generators given specifications? I'm kind of amazed no one's trying to disrupt that. "Hi Stable Diffusion, please draw me blueprints for a 2000 sq. ft. house, with two stories, given this landscape. Thanks Stable Diffusion."
I use a $5 VPS and a couple of Python scripts, one for SMTP and one for POP3. I use the latter with GMail so it can collect the mails. But before I wrote that POP3 server I would just log in and cat the files the SMTP server wrote for each inbound email.
Humans don't view things from a moon perspective, they view things from a human perspective.

Space races are real, it's each country for itself, and it's a zero sum game. And today's not a good day.
Easier maybe, definitely not more pleasant, at least for me.
Is anyone seriously alienated by the suggestion that Trump is a narcissist?

You could be the most loyal Trump supporter ever on a political level and still acknowledge it. It is unavoidably obvious.

The Internet existed when Feynman died in 1988, but Internet porn did not, at least not watchable (video) Internet porn.
While I worked at Google I once searched for "//this should never happen" in the code base.

It was in there.

A lot.
With interconnect being the biggest limitation these days I don’t think this would work.
You could do as LinuxBender suggests but roll out a simple Python SMTP server (there's a standard module) instead of Postfix.
I got one with regular shorts: https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e67772190809000bb...

I don’t understand why none of these generators want to make a man with body hair. I specified Armenian and Armenians are notoriously hairy.

Edit: this is if I specify “very hairy”. Note that for a man, there is a bit of hair in the usual places but still far short of “very hairy” IMO. https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e67aa38448b800095... (And the hair rendering is bad, AI still doesn’t understand directionality; there’s a very common pattern it should know, especially on the chest)
Over the past decade Intel seems to have become more interested in social causes than in technology, maybe with a side of government backrubbing to keep some income flowing.
Chrome profiles work exactly like this, you can set up any number of profiles and they all have their own configuration/sessions etc.

I use home and work profiles on my laptop for instance, works really well.
That is a popular fantasy story. The reality of almost all open source software is that nobody reads the code and the primary author is struggling to find the time to keep up with maintenance.

What's more, doing security review is very hard. You can't just casually read a bit of code. You need to deeply understand the surrounding context. People who have the capability to do that aren't going around providing that service for free.

I used to be on the product team @ Terraform.

The overwhelming majority of uses for state surgery are break glass hacks for other issues, the fact people had to resort to it so frequently was a bug and something we were working hard to fix. The one you called out was (hopefully) addressed by having a stable schema, or at least one that could be read by newer and older versions in a consistent way, since (irrc) v0.14. Config-driven moves (`moved` statements in HCL) was a big one, especially for refactoring into or between modules. The recent import functionality is another in that long line. Some of the historical version upgrade specific issues we had to retrospectively address so they were more akin to guided workflows than core changes, and so they only existed in Terraform Cloud (though not paid-for features last I knew).

I'm sure we didn't get every single use case solved. But I'd recommend to everyone that if they find themselves reaching for a state command to double check there isn't now a better way. If there isn't a better way, it's worth making sure someone on the Terraform team is aware of that fact.
Biotechs are lottery tickets, not stocks. You're just gambling on binary results.
TLDR -- We currently do not automatically load stored procedures as context for in context learning/prompting but it is on the roadmap.

Additional color: Once you configure a connection to a DB, you can trigger a 'scan' of the DB through the API which detects various tables/columns, identifies low cardinality (categorical) columns and their values and also loads in VIEWS stored on tables. In our default NL2SQL agent, these are then used together with 'verified' NL2SQL pairs and with other metadata you can manually add to generate the SQL.

We are looking to automatically add context from Stored procedures and other sources like dbt and various data dictionaries as well.
Toolbar customization (ability to modify their contents) was nice too. Firefox still has it (for now) and you still find the occasional Mac app that has the old native customizable toolbar intact but even those are becoming uncommon.

The first place I saw both fixed toolbars and hamburger menus in desktop apps I think was probably in Chrome, which due to its popularity no doubt had a strong normalizing effect on both.

VEX AI was a really interesting experience. We made a reveal video for our AI bots if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAHKPJXJEfQ&ab_channel=Millb...

As for which competition I like more, I would say that VEX competitions are better run, and it is easier to advance to Worlds and be successful. However, I prefer the freedom you get with FTC because there are a lot more parts you can use, and you have more opportunities to take advantage of custom manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, laser-cutting, and CNC machining.
> My general policy with third-party recruiters is to not tell them ANYTHING and to always deal directly with the companies they introduce you, once you establish a point of contact there. You should assume that anything you tell your recruiter is going to get back to every company you’re working with. Why? Because their primary objective is to place your butt in the seat of one of the companies they’re working with, and they will do whatever they need to do to make the deal happen. Often, those things will run counter to your interests.

While the OP has a ton of experience, I disagree with this advice unless you're just starting out and don't know what you're worth yet.

I think it is much faster and easier to ask what you're looking for up front.

If you want $200,000, $400,000, whatever, just say so. BEFORE you start any interviews.

If GOOD recruiters are talking to you, they want to place you at the highest comp package they can. If the number isn't realistic, they'll tell you. Last thing they want is to waste your time interviewing for a position you'll reject because of the package.

(There are plenty of recruiters that only care about placement volume and nothing else. Inbound emails from recruiters that clearly look like a copy and paste job are probably one of these. Good recruiters don't leave money on the table like that.)

I DO agree with OP that you _shouldn't_ state what your current salary/comp is (unless you don't care about negotiating on comp but want to ensure you maintain what you're making).
Not having a band is surprising at Fortune 100. I'm guessing the talent retention is still done through bonus and LTI.
XML is a great choice for this because it's a markup language: it's designed for adding structure and formatting information to documents in a way that's generic and extensible.

Something like Markdown is too spartan for all the kinds of things you need to make a technical document.
So they just added a new FAQ because their license was unclear, it's got a "last updated" date under every single entry. What assurances do we have that these binding statements won't be changed in the future? It looks as though they have definitely made changes to this page at least 4 times since it was published, in only two weeks.

https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq#future-competitive-pro...

If in the future HashiCorp creates an offering then they will exempt me from action under the BSL according to this section. What is the likelihood of this changing later on? What is my recourse if it does? All of these questions, you can ask yourself (and your lawyers, again and again each time) now of any open source project that makes contributors sign a CLA. Since there was nothing stopping HashiCorp from doing this, what will stop others?

This is a terrible thing for Open Source IMO. Competition is good, but I understand HashiCorp have some competitors that are leveraging their good will against them and costing them deals. I hope that Hashi don't use this new license to squash their competitors and stamp out Open Source. But I won't take that as foregone conclusion, it's up to HashiCorp how they pursue these changes and up to the rest of us how to react when they do. I've got my fingers crossed for good.
For much of tech hardware world, declining costs and increasing performance have been the general trends for as long as most of us have been alive.
If the two traits are just randomly assorted, then sure, they'll rarely overlap at what is a statistically random rate.

But, if we can assume that the "rare talent" is anything other than straight out of college, they will have discovered that they are a rare talent, be aware of it themselves, and barring some sort of crippling neurosis, want to cash in on it. They might not even be skilled at negotiating... they'll just be aware that they have leverage.

We might even phrase the problem that way... that it's not so important that they have "negotiating skill", as it is that they have "leverage awareness".

Given how rare an impact event is that’s quite reasonable - I’ve had car seats for 11 years now, from rear facing carrier to just a small booster (Italy requires a child to be 150cm to travel without a car seat)

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the state of the art for transcription is? Is there a possibility it will soon be "better than a person carefully listening and manually transcribing"?

I ask because I asked a friend to record a (for fun) lecture I couldn't attend, and unfortunately the speech audio levels are quite low, and I'm trying to figure out how to extract as much info as possible so I can hear it. If I could add context to the transcriber like "This is about the Bronze Age collapse and uses terminology commonly used in discussions on that topic", it might be even more useful.

Hot take: Packaged baklava blows bakery (fresh) baklava out of the water.

His design system doesn't try to get anywhere near modern levels of insulation and overall thermal performance, though I suspect that is fixable and even at the time he modified the system as locally available materials changed. I think it would be really interesting to do an update, everything is sort of on a grid system so it should be relatively amenable to building software tools to help with the analysis and generating complete sets of plans. Even if I had those tools and the time to do my own build I think I would want an experienced architect involved with input into the design.
Is it possible to "own" an ICANN domain name. In the past, one had to keep paying ICANN and an ICANN registrar every month/year or else the domain would be rented/leased to someone else, often the registrar itself.

> Should have sold a call credit spread instead!

Why?

> From what I could find, Jensen has 1.3 million shares, so he'd receive over $200k in dividends this year. You might think that's chump change, but another source lists his salary at just under $1m; another 20% bump in liquid income is nothing to sneeze at.

Jensen Huang is worth $42 billion and has been a billionaire for probably a decade or so now? Any CEO with that net worth would use stock-secured loans/LOCs for liquidity. 200k is very much chump change.
> I'm working about 1 to 2 hours a day max, the expectations are so low compared to what I'm used to.

I'll never understand how this is possible. Do you lie during standups? do you burn down your time strategically to make it look like you're working over a longer period of time?
I will! The FIRST community is incredible - I love talking to other FTC participants around the world to share ideas and collectively improve our robots.
The reason Freud isn't mentioned is that he isn't relevant in modern psychology or psychiatry, except in French Canada, France, and Germany. Even if you believe (tm) in psychoanalysis, the modern approach do not follow Freud's teachings [0], not that it's that much better now. (btw I'm not objective on thatmy mother spent 25 years, a divorce, an estranged daughter and a lot of money on psychanalysts. At 23, i told her to see a real psychologist. After 2 session, she sent her to a hospital see a psychiatrist. Bam. Bipolarity, triggered by anti-inflammatory medecine. During 25 years of her life, she was half the time in manic phases, for days, and not a single charlatan detected it.)

Not every dev position requires knowing containers and public cloud.

In my company, the infra team takes care of this. And not everything is on AWS, Azure or GCP. Most things are probably not actually.

> I basically never got a chance to do this at my job since everything is hosted on-premises using VMware's Cloud Foundry

Yes, still very common I would guess.

For public clouds I don't know, but learning a bit about containers is worth it, at least for debugging things you have developed running on production in a container.
app.sketchup.com is the AMAZING web app version of SketchUp. In the 3D Warehouse, there are millions of homes & buildings already made. You can download all for FREE and then easily take them apart & make them unique. NOTE! When you first get to the 3D Warehouse area, you'll default be in & searching the "Products" area, this is just for official Products that manufacturers have uploaded (super cool!) but you must click "Models" button/area right next to that, this is where billions of models uploaded by random people are found & 99% of the time the only place to search. Some Models are insanely detailed. Keep searching different words to find what you want, search here is picky. Good Luck!
>And if you're wondering how it can look so good

I don't think anyone is wondering this, especially if they are used to playing with diffusion models.
Sunak and Yousaf are both Punjabi, Sunak's family was from Gujranwala region in Pakistani Punjab before partition and Yousaf's is from Khanewal in Pakistani Punjab as well, plus both are the children of East African Indians who moved to the UK during the mass expulsion of South Asians in the 1960s and 70s (Freddie Mercury is also part of that community as well, though ethnically Parsi Gujarati). Also, they both attended elite Grammar Schools, so they were within the same Old Boys network.

They're much closer culturally than Varadkar who's dad's side of the family is from Konkan region (the coastal region stretching from Goa to Mumbai/Bombay)
Nah, the biggest problem is that Intel became very risk averse. Yeah, they'll talk a good game on taking risks, but when it comes down to it people who took risks that failed tend to not be at Intel and other employees see that and think that maybe they need to play it safe.
A very surprising number of housing listings don't include a drawing/diagram of the floor plan. Just photos of the interior taken with a wide-angle lens that distorts the size of everything.
> I think it is much faster and easier to ask what you're looking for up front.

That assumes you know what you want and know what's reasonable/fair for the job and area.

Most people don't know. Even if they've worked a similar job in the area, doesn't mean they know what the current going rate is. Once when applying for a job I asked for what was basically my current salary plus $20,000. The hiring manager said something to the lines of "Oh, we can do better than that" and ended up hiring me at my ask plus ANOTHER $40,000. I had way undervalued myself and wasn't up to the moment on the latest in pay rates.

Needless to say I was lucky and that person was an excellent manager. But most people will not be so lucky and most managers are not that amazing.
This FAQ literally changes daily and different versions directly contradict one another. So which one is "binding" - the Aug 15th or the Aug 22nd version? Or perhaps the former was "binding" for a week, now the latter interpretation took over, until in two weeks time something else becomes "binding"? This is worse than the license change itself.

You change the license once, everyone gets to read it, reflect on it, speak to their lawyers if they're not sure about it, and move on. Using the mutable FAQ in lieu of an immutable license is just a sign that the interpretation is purely based on the vendor's (mutable) business goals, and you should be very careful building on any particular "binding" version.
As with other suspected recent Russian / Putin assassinations, the very audacity is a key component. "We'll blow your plane out of the sky and send nine others to their graves" is a strong message, much as polonium tea, street gunnings, and killing journalists in their homes have been.
Every company I know of estimates future revenue.

It's not black magic, they have contracts in place and know both how many GPUs will be produced and sold give or take few %s.
The good new is that Nvidia's high GPU prices motivate everyone (Intel, AMD, ARM, Google, etc.) to try and tackle the problem by making new chips...

Or their dominance leads to competition throwing in the towel and investing resources in a market with less stiff competition.

I wouldn't be surprised to see AMD start to pair back ivnestment on high-end GPUs if things continue down this path. I would say Intel likely keeps pushing, but I'm less convinced they can actually make much headway in the near future.
Neat. I'd really like to have a setting for attractiveness, all of these people look like models.
This is wonderfully cursed, I love it.
For Terraform specifically, not receiving updates is not an option. Within 6 months or so, you will stop receiving support for new, and some existing features of the big three cloud providers.

> why would a software dev have a portfolio?

For the same reason artists do -- to show a potential employer what you're capable of and what your style is. Look at it from the employer's point of view -- they have very little to go on when judging ability. If you can provide examples of your work, then you're reducing their uncertainty and giving yourself an edge for the position.

> I'm not going to put proprietary code on a portfolio nor am I going to spend multiple years building some open source project when I already have a full time job.

You don't have to do either of those things. Your portfolio doesn't have to include large, complex projects. A collection of smaller ones will do nicely. Or, even easier, is what I do: I just bring in the code for the most recent hobby project that I've completed.

> interviewers always want salary history to knock you down

You don't need to provide that history. At least, I never do. When I'm asked, I respond with what my salary expectation is, not what my salary history is.
But surely you must have an opinion on whether or not what is arguably the greatest digital archive ever created should be lost over this issue.

it also wouldn't make sense for Office to have different dictionaries between its Mac and PC (and web) versions.

Why?

99.9% of people using Microsoft Office are using it on one computer. I'd wager the majority of those people aren't using only Microsoft Office and nothing else.

If Office used the system dictionary, then people's added words would exist in every application they use, and not just every application except Office.
