I've been working as a DevOps engineer or an SRE or whatever you want to call it for the last few years. I think I've seen most of these before.

Probably the most common incarnation I've seen of this is the Mandate + Responsibility - Knowledge ("Gambler"). Organizations declare one day "You build it, you own it" but they don't actually set up their teams for success. Probably what I would call this instead is "Finger Pointer" as it inevitably leads to infighting. This can look like many different things along a spectrum ranging from reasonable feedback ("why didn't anyone prevent me from commenting out all the broken tests") to not so reasonable ("it worked fine on my machine, so it's not my fault"). Around the same time is when organizations layoff all the sysadmins. "We're not throwing code over the wall anymore, so why would we keep them?" A huge waste of organizational knowledge and no one is left who knows how the systems work, and this increases infighting since now people are afraid for their own jobs.

The second most common I've seen is Responsibility + Knowledge - Mandate ("Foot Soldier"). This is pretty similar to the above. An engineering team is given the golden tablets from above that they now need to do ops, but they aren't given any bandwidth to do so. They're somehow expected to have the same velocity as before with more work on their plates. Some developers will already have the knowledge (or the capability to learn) how to do it, but why would they work harder just to prove their leaders right? They inevitably leave the company. I wonder sometimes how this is pitched in leadership meetings or board meetings. I'm assuming there's lots of buzzwords like "modern" and "cloud" which are all true but somehow it's a surprise when people start quitting or app stability gets worse. I'm thinking of one company I worked at which encouraged engineering teams to be pizza sized, but mine was 10+ people because there was an understanding that half the team would quit in less than 12 months.

I feel like, more often than not, people's picks for "great design" are really just a massive image and some fancy type around it

Sadly I have neither the photography skills, nor the type licenses, nor the actual need for a massive hero image in 99 out of 100 projects, so thanks but no thanks.

I'll keep digging and banging my head against the screen.

I was utterly shocked 5 or 6 years ago when I somehow managed to lose my driver's license between my curbside dropoff and the airport door. To this day no idea what happened.

Normally, I'd have had my backup travel ID/credit card/cash kit but, hey, this was a last minute couple night trip so I went light.

Figured that was that. But as it turned out really wasn't a major issue much to my surprise.

What was an issue was getting checked into the hotel I had been able to find for the event near the airport (Travelodge). I even had a photo company security badge, credit cards, etc. Eventually they let me, with great reluctance pay cash, which fortunately fleabag was cheap enough that my withdrawal limit covered. Thought I was going to have to call SV friends and find somewhere to sleep--or at least pay some ridiculous amount for the last room at some hotel where I belonged to their loyalty program. But TSA was actually not a real issue.
not anywhere near high enough for a company like that.
As mentioned in the article, Zap's SugaredLogger has roughly the same thing https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/zap

Really slog presents mostly the same two APIs as Zap, with a single entrypoint.
I do and so far they haven't.
This is honestly pretty disappointing.

* No function calling support yet
* Only 4k tokens, so can't use the full 16k token length.

I really wish they'd share some info as to if we'll be able to fine tune the multimodality of GPT-4 as well.

I'm pretty confident that the parent is using sarcasm and fake surprise to illustrate how the point should be rather obvious that just any old person can get a credit report on another person because in reality the credit companies wouldn't have the capacity to validate the credentials of someone requesting the data without creating other significant disturbances such as making it nearly impossible to start a company. But this feels like a lot more words and doesn't actually convey as much as what you get when you have to internalize the rhetoric.

Honest question, is sarcasm dead?
Yet you seem to have yourself no problem with mischaracterizing "far-right". Why didn't you comment on that?
Why do I feel like all of these examples are extremely difficult to navigate and just bad for UX reasons?

Like I don't want one giant page with scrolling-bound effects. Just give me the damn content.
I’ve seen it mentioned before, but I haven’t given it a demo yet. To be honest I wasn’t sure if TUI was the right UI for something like this, as it can’t pull off all of the things a GUI can. It’s not that I have a TUI allergy either (I can’t live without lazygit).
Yes, but my point is, lots of small businesses come out ahead on this.

Which is totally by design! Their whole model is that once it is no longer cost effective, it isn't worth the switching costs to leave. (Exactly like the AWS model, un-coincidentally.)

But I think lots of commenters here (at least at the time I wrote my original comment) seem to be missing that this isn't nefarious or anything, it's win-win for a lot of businesses.
I think you'd have a better chance with this post if you included your experience, what you bring to the table, and what you're looking for in your future co-founder.
No. There should be a some way to opt in, and not having done that, any "marketing email" should be illegal. Like it is here in EU.
This arguments keeps popping up, but yes, it's not good when another country does it. You've got no say in it, and it can only be used for nefarious purposes. You've got no idea what your own government is using that info for, but you can be sure that the CCP is not going to prevent terrorism in your country.

You also can't vote Xi out of office, can you? You can however vote the politicians that are responsible for domestic spying out of office, or try to press them into being transparent and implementing proper legislation through various means.

Don't pretend the two are equal. The only thing equal between them is that you don't like either.
I am working on the timestamp feature. You will be able to see the option for timestamp soon.
I use MermaidJS for flow chart and Sequence diagram. They have C4 in beta. I tried and it is hard adjust the layout and many features are not supported for C4 yet.

These are indeed valid concerns, and I think that it’s fair for the community to be vigilant about such things and to ask probing questions. But my perspective is both:

- Nothing we’re doing is inherently proprietary or "secret sauce". FlakeHub isn’t doing anything magical, and the version solving feature would be better if Nix did it itself.

- Also, proprietary services can serve important functions in OSS communities. They can expand the user base significantly (like GitHub to Git) and they can send signals to maintainers of official tools about what’s a hit and what’s a dud. And I think that that’s precisely what we’re doing not just with FlakeHub but also with the Determinate Nix Installer, the Magic Nix Cache, the Flake Checker, and others.
Many schools, including Goenka downplay or ignore the risks from meditation.

Goenka is infamous in the serious meditation community, as they do not use qualified teachers in their retreats. The teaching is in the videos, the guides may not be able to help you if you start to freak out.

It's not just a monetary fine. There are various other requirements put on them, for example they are on the hook for additional record-keeping and compliance monitoring for 10 years, which probably means they need to be incredibly conservative about sending emails for at least that long.
Agreed. Have a friend who remembers going for a walk on a walking path. Woke up in the hospital. Nobody reported seeing the incident but police believe based on some debris left behind at the scene that someone on an electric bike hit them at a very high rate of speed. They are home now and generally functional, but it's been a couple months and they're in for a long road to recovery.

I'm all for electric bikes but some are amazingly fast and equally dangerous.

Just find something you like and copy it.

Then change little details when you find yourself with a strong opinion.

Then over time you can incorporate ideas from your memory as well (which are still mostly derivative). Im pretty sure this is what everyone is doing.

Sure, but it has plenty of other desirable outcomes (some of which are more for your employer than you):

1. There is a risk that the stock loses value but stocks generally have positive EV.

2. Since stocks vest over time there is some intrinsic value in being able to simply walk away if the stock crashes (dropping your comp going forward) but being able to stay if the stock surged (greatly increasing your comp compared to your market rate). It’s kind of like having a long-dated option.

3. It generally takes months to a couple years for stocks to change in value enough for it to put you over market rate. It takes similar amounts of time for you to fully ramp up and start adding value to the company. Generally you tend to get into golden handcuff range right around the time you start settling in. Getting paid above-market in a role where you’re doing well is great.

4. You may not have enough influence to really move the stock up but you often do have enough influence to move it down (like being sloppy or doing something destructive like leaking).

5. From the employer perspective, aligning your financial interests with the board/founders/investors/execs probably means you’re unlikely to try to unionize or get angry at the company when it gives you only a 5% salary bump in a year where the stock increased 100%. Generally speaking the worker:exec relationship is less combative since there’s less of a conflict of interests. As an employee there are nice aspects of this, like the whole company having a more collegiate or team-like atmosphere.
I don’t think that’s the shtick behind OpenUSD. It’s not a transmission format like glTF, so the intent is not to get consistent rendering but rather to standardize intermediate graphics representations so that software that works on 3D scenes (unreal, Maya etc) can represent all of their workflow in USD and get consistent interop.

This seems to have happened to me somehow. I was forced to sign up to unfreeze my credit report (after freezing it years ago without an account) and now it has 2FA configured with a phone number that isn't mine. I have no idea how that happened and now I'm concerned that a stranger has control over my account. Hooray!

I tried calling to reset my password, which pointed me back to the website. The only other option is to reset it by mail. Amazing.

Edit: and to top it off, the reset password page references a security question & PIN, without ever asking for those.
>If you do not know your security question or PIN, you will need to contact customer care to reset your password.

Edit 2: I just created a new account with a different email without a hitch. I got an email to the original address saying that there was a change to my account settings, leading me to believe that creating a new account simply changed the email address. Still no email confirmation though.
Sadly the Tao of Pooh does not outline the basic tenets of Daoism. As van Norden says in the chapter on the Daodejing in his Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy:

> The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff ... is a charming work that has attained a wide readership. There is nothing wrong with enjoying it for itself. But it reveals much more about how the Daodejing as been appropriated to illustrate Western Romanticism than it does about the Daodejing itself. (See later in this section for more on Romanticism).

and, later on, here's what he has to say about the appropriation of the Daodejing and Daoism for Romanticism:

> We see a similar trend in the West. In particular, contemporary Westerners often project onto the Daodejing the assumptions of Romanticism. In reaction against the emphasis on reason that was characteristic of the Enlightenment, Romanticism championed the importance and wisdom of one's passions. But the dichotomy of reason and passion is Western, not Chinese, and the individualism characteristic in some forms of Romanticism is quite alien to the Daodejing. Consequently, we should be on the lookout for how Romantic preconceptions can distort our appreciation of the text.

Sadly, there's not many good non-academic introductions to Daoism out there, and the most popular translation - Stephen Mitchell's - was done by someone who can't even read Classical Chinese, but thought his Zen teaching was a 'good enough' guide to allow him to translate it.

-----------

All this is to say I'm glad the book worked for you, and helped you find peace. It's just not Daoism (nor is Alan Watts!)
Pedal assisted e-bikes are a more complex design that leads to more cost. This is fine in the west where everyone is rich, yet they are rare in the developing world (especially china where cheap e-bikes are popular) where people are less rich. Putting so many restrictions on a cheaper to produce product could be seen as anti-poor.

PowerToys can be iterated on much faster than the Windows release cycle, and without needing the same support commitment.

Full disclosure, I've yet to make an exit, but it sounds like you are close to profitable. I would say if you can get to a multi-million dollar exit within a couple years, go for it. If you cannot, unwind and go a lower-stress route. Not every all-star team makes it to the world cup and wins, it's quite alright. Only you know how close or far you might be, realistically, but if you power through and it works you'll feel a lot of satisfaction for having had the sustained enthusiasm and stamina. Either way, you can look back at everything you've learned and experienced and consider it a success, too. When you distill what you learned into material for others to shortcut the process, then you will be a complete success.

A “didactic little story” about perception and the supernatural: [0]

There are these two guys sitting together in a bar in the remote Alaskan wilderness. One of the guys is religious, the other is an atheist, and the two are arguing about the existence of God with that special intensity that comes after about the fourth beer. And the atheist says: "Look, it's not like I don't have actual reasons for not believing in God. It's not like I haven't ever experimented with the whole God and prayer thing. Just last month I got caught away from the camp in that terrible blizzard, and I was totally lost and I couldn't see a thing, and it was fifty below, and so I tried it: I fell to my knees in the snow and cried out 'Oh, God, if there is a God, I'm lost in this blizzard, and I'm gonna die if you don't help me.'" And now, in the bar, the religious guy looks at the atheist all puzzled. "Well then you must believe now," he says, "After all, here you are, alive." The atheist just rolls his eyes. "No, man, all that was was a couple Eskimos happened to come wandering by and showed me the way back to camp."

Ask HN: Fine tuning a 65B LLM vs. fine tuning task specific million size models
Hi HN,

Ex-ML Engineer to feel free to dive deep in the answers

Everywhere I look today (medium, reddit, twitter) everyone is talking about fine-tuning LLMs. How the future is taking billion size models and fine-tuning then distilling them to specialised LLMs that perform specific tasks (i.e: sentiment analysis, Q&A, summarisation).

1/When people speak about fine-tuning are they actually fully re-training the LLM (i.e updating weights) or mostly using techniques like few-shots prompting and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) ?

2/If you want to actually fully re-train the LLM (i.e retraining the weights), why not just use “small” (millions vs billion size) models like bert that are specifically fine-tuned for the end goal tasks (NER, classification) and fine-tune those instead?

3/If your fine-tuning LLMs (no matter what you definition of fine tuning is) mind sharing what for and how you’re doing it?

P.S: I asked a similar question on reddit [1] but reframing a bit and asking here in the hopes of getting answers that focus on the re-training aspect and also to get a diverse set of views :)

Nano doesn't have a default keystroke for "match an end-of-sentence" character, though creating such a binding in .nanorc is trivial.

However, since what this typically means in practice is you'd either cut until the next period, or until the end of the line, in the absence of an "end of sentence" keybinding, my approach to this would simply be to either cut until the next period, or until the end of the line as required, which I believe is a wholly reasonable alternative.

The former would be:

{mark} {search} . {enter} {cut} {endoffile} {paste} (7 keystrokes)

The latter would be

{cuttoend} {endoffile} {paste} (3 keystrokes)

The 7 keystrokes become very vim-competitive when you realise that d)Gp actually fucks up in the typical scenario, since usually what you want is NOT to paste after the first character of the last line, but actually in a new line below the last one. Which means you don't actually just do `p`, but something like `o ESC p` instead.
Arguably you could say the same for many costly safety features...
It is pretty wild that people can take out credit in your name without the issuer of the credit doing their dd, and then it causes you trouble afterwards. They should be fined massively for every time that this happens.
I find it difficult to frame it so I had to get the calculator out... that's 0.01048% of the $6.2 billion in revenues.

Or framed a different way, if you earn a US average salary of $60,000, it's a fine of $630...

That fine is a fart in the wind.
Does 650k even cover the cost of labor the government incurred to investigate this and issue the fine?
Maybe it's me but I know how to set up FOSS based logging, web servers, databases data lakes and the kitchen sink. But intrusion detection systems seem to be something that passed me by or is not well known. I mean Inremeber setting up tripwire databases back in the day but Inwas wondering what is state of the art in IDS these days in the FOSS world?
I also took issue to this, but it looks like the author responded in a comment. If I understand their intentions correctly, it probably would be better phrased as: "if rolling forward isn't even considered, it's DevOps, otherwise it's SRE." While I can't disagree with the author's experience, in my experience the title is meaningless. At my current job some coworkers think I'm an SRE, some people think I'm DevOps, and some people think I'm in IT.
The cat has been out of the bag for a while. We need legal changes to how personal information is used after it has been acquired. It doesn't make sense any longer for it to be so easy to open lines of credit or otherwise apply stolen info.
I totally get what you mean here, but I don’t know if Jeopardy is a great example. I think of that like trivia which is a skill that you have to practice and exercise. Rote memorization can increase knowledge and definitely helps. (Here comes the but :) )
But I don’t consider someone who has a head full of facts(only) to be knowledgeable. They have to be able to talk about the concepts and theory to back up the facts. The very act of connecting the dots demonstrates knowledge.

Anyway I think we are probably saying the same thing and discussing semantics.(and to be fair it is probably just me:) )
