I'm a freelance engineer focused on a SaaS type of product from a high-level design to an automated QA.
I've been a part of numerous projects and the complete list of tech I've been working with is quite long, but the primary focus is on JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem.

Currently, I've started a deep dive into WebGL and would be glad to find an opportunity with this tech.

Thanks!
The section you quoted ends with, "for meetings."

They can probably work anywhere, but need to be in the office for face-to-face meetings.

Although, I'm not sure why the person would be losing their desk between meetings unless Meta had a policy for people to take their belongings with them if their going to be away from their desk for an extended period of time.
I like this solution a lot.

As a potential applicant for one of your positions, I gotta say I find this a rather uninspiring company mission. On the other hand, I do appreciate the honesty.
What about movie trailers and other promo material? Why shouldn't I train AI on something that they shove in my face every time I go to the cinema?
If they haven't yet figured out that having multiple control panels is insane, I doubt they will ever figure this out.
I mostly use navigation for cycling in London and driving in parts of South America. Google Maps does what you're describing to me more often than I care. Apple Maps has been fairly solid.

In countryside England, both can give bad directions some times but I have still found Apple's to be superior.

Stable Diffusion SDXL and LLAMA2 Webui on Docker
You have a minor bug -- when len(lst) is a multiple of batch_size, this will have an extra iteration at the end with an empty batch. The fixed version is `range((len(lst) + batch_size - 1) // batch_size)`, which emulates `ceil(len(lst) / batch_size)`. Yet more proof that this should be part of stdlib :)

Personally I think I'd actually write it like this:

for i in range(0, len(lst), batch_size):
batch = lst[i:i+batch_size]

The docs give another pretty nice implementation using iter() and islice() in a loop (but it uses the walrus operator `:=` so it requires Python 3.8+ as written).
When I first got my very first Palm Pilot I recognised one thing: what the minimum computer needed would be and how much that little gadget could do that, otherwise, would tie me to my desk (or force me to carry my laptop.

In the end, most of the time, our day to day needs can be covered by very simple software - text editors, spreadsheets, messaging (including email), threaded discussions, and not that much else.
Shrug, the point is still relevant. Has he trained it on his own data, or just everyone else's?
There are hinged paper versions which still work well.
The point is that at least there’s always a chance to set a wrongly-jailed person free. You can’t unexecute someone.
I avoid them because of their price tag
Even if he was an abusive father that doesn’t mean he murdered the kid. Let alone that the evidence used to convict him of doing so was sound. Whilst I think that sort of physical abuse of children is repugnant it alone isn’t reason for the guy to be facing the death penalty. Which is a really long winded way of saying that this sort of muddying of the waters isn’t a great argument.
It's not necessarily a lot of sites that block non-popular bots - but often it's big sites (i.e. content-centric sites such as Social Media). Think Yelp, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.

That can add up to a serious percentage of the web.
Yeah, my take as well. I think "Her" portrayed it nicely; you can still get your human-written poem or whatever nonsense you want to be made by hand, doesn't mean everyone has to dispatch atrociously meaningless or repetitive tasks. What, do people think VFX grunts love rotoscoping mundane subjects all day long? People hate boilerplate work, and getting rid of it will be a huge boost for enjoyment, too.

There truly is room for doom and terror, but none of those wannabe essayists even remotely scratch the reality of it all; they are almost exclusively trying to dunk on tech that will help disabled, impaired, destitute folks to even remotely catch up to the rest of those who are living a relatively cushy life. Just look at therapy and what the sheer possibilities are, it's so incredibly callous in my mind to pretend like it's all going to be so bad when we have tangible proof that this is going to be positively changing billions of lives in the shortest amount of time imaginable.

There is so, so much good here, and I'm getting kind of tired of the narrow-minded naysayers. I mean, they're kind of few, all things considered, and they'll instantly vanish the moment we get really competent agents doing anything... but it's still exhausting being aware of all this all the time. I guess AI/ML can improve my own personal life by just helping me sidestep all the bickering and all these awful non-arguments I keep stunlocking myself on, which would be pretty funny to me.
So you're saying that we should just let AI write and read our emails, attend our team meetings, instead of, you know, doing less of those things in the first place? ;)
It's pretty obvious what's going on, as this is one of several related actions all of which are intended to penalize or restrict car usage. We know the safety argument isn't the real reason because nothing has changed about safety lately that would trigger a sudden re-think here, they weren't talking about it before and the actual expected changes are in the order of single digit deaths per year. If it was a genuine concern about safety they'd have been pushing for this limit 50 years ago.

What's actually changed in the last few years is the new political obsession with net zero. Politicians don't have a mandate for that and haven't won the argument for it, which is why these measures are facing so much resistance.
I'd have to find the image if I get a chance, but if you look through some online collections of Manhattan photos from the 1970s, there were still horse-drawn carts driven between the immense modern towers of the City by men who recycled scrap and trash..
For personal use and small businesses your example is a good look at what CoPilot can do.

For larger enterprises it is unlikely that this amount of data will be allowed to be sent for CoPilot processing.

The overarching question is: Do you want to transfer this much control over your data to a single entity ?
Only if you’re not vendoring your dependencies, afaik.

I'm very interested in your knowledge of the eink market, until today I thought it was some kind of cartel.
Very cool that you added support for that too! Now I'll 100% be sourcing a SuperSerial card for my II+!
You should really include the source when you post a quote like that.

For better or worse most companies keep a lot of their very important data stored in Microsoft formats on Microsoft services. As long as that remains true, Microsoft will have a clear advantage building AI assistants that are trained and tuned on that data.
Is 'average' the correct question to ask (I take 'average' to be mean)?

It seems to me the commonalities would be what you want to look for. I'd be looking for the most common tropes, and then if the story's the goal, build it up from there.
> -- to enable programmers to see and understand the execution of their programs

The article disagrees with the idea that in order to _understand_ the machine, you must _become_ the machine. But, how to understand how it works without visualizing it quite concretely...

The ability to visualize and work with complex systems entirely in your head is a skill developed by an engineering education, and presumably by a software education too.

I have read that so many times for so many different technologies, of course at some point someone will be right. And then we will probably say "they were visionary". And of course the CEO of Microsoft hopes that Copilot will be the new revolution: they make money out of it.

I usually don't believe those claims, and most of the time I am right (I think I haven't been wrong in my life yet). Nobody calls me a visionary though :-).
Maybe I'm in the minority but as a physicist it makes perfect sense to model micro-interactions to estimate emergent macro-scale patterns. What is your experience with "physicists" in the derogatory?

"LOS ANGELES — A man who spent more than 38 years behind bars for a 1983 murder he did not commit was declared innocent by a judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday."

"“I am not standing up here a bitter man, but I just want to enjoy my life now while I have it,” Hastings said."

As an American citizen, who has spent time in prison (abroad) and just came out recently, I tell you I have no idea how this guy survived this. He seems to be an incredibly strong person and his smile shows kindness.
I am surprised that the crime here would result in the death penalty.
Did the man hasve prior convictions?
This is how I understand the whole heohaskell thing: some guy comes out of nowhere, spends some time picking fonts for neohaskell's website and then starts churning out github-tickets for this-is-what-a-better-haskell-is-supposed-to-look-like instead of actually doing stuff :)
From the article:

“ I want to first take you back to 2015 when Satya’s email that outlined the future of Microsoft.

Satya outlined the strategy in terms of 3 bold ambitions:

Reinvent productivity and business processes
Build the intelligent cloud platform
Create more personal computing
You’ve already seen the intelligent cloud platform come to life, as well as improvement to productivity and personal computing.”

Yeah, no. None of these ambitions really came true.
sure, but at this point, people are going to just freaking demolish server farms by hand

I'm not sure how we'll handle the income problem, but once the shoe drops, and drop it will, very soon, I have a feeling that core existential needs will "magically" align with policymaking, such that people will at least be happier than they are today. I mean, this is the big one, the biggest unknown in all this. Not some future skynet nonsense, us humans always trying to keep others down because of our fragile, hilarious little egos. If we can overcome ourselves and make sure that we all get to eat and enjoy proper healthcare (uh, only way is up with that one anyway), people will change their minds right quick.
"Math" is such a wide topic that you certainly must qualify your statement.

The standard entomologist curriculum does not require calculus, while a physics curriculum does. Both produce scientists. (For example, https://cals.cornell.edu/education/degrees-programs/entomolo... under "Major Requirements" says "One semester of college statistics or biometry", and the listed physics requirement doesn't require calculus.)

On the other hand, an entomologist interested in population ecology may need to know differential equations.

Your use of "study program" suggests your experience is at the undergrad level, and not at the grad school level, which is how most scientists I know got their training.

At the undergrad level the study programs do reflect what's needed for a solid education. If a student is interested in computational biology, that program will emphasize taking more CS courses than the program for a student interested in marine biology.

But at the grad level, the "study program" is much less formalized. You might take graduate level classes the first couple of years, but then you are expected to pick up the missing bits on your own.

Once you have your PhD and are a working scientist, you rarely have the luxury of following any study program.

And if you've been a scientist for 20 years, any CS training you had likely did not cover SIMD, and emphasized practices which are no longer relevant. (For example, the link points out "That advice [about HDDs] is mostly outdated today [with SSDs]".)

Those latter categories are who the linked-to piece is for, not undergrads in a well-defined study program.

I recall that at University a lecturer showed this briefly in the early nineties. Most of us students stared in a mixture of awe and disbelief. I didn't learn those incantation from that brief introduction and never felt the need, even though I used a 2400 baud modem (already outdated, hence cheap) then.
I'm pretty sure the VC acronym is already taken, especially on this forum :)
Ironic is not the same as wrong.
Thanks for that information. I'm surprised it doesn't load for you. I host it on Netlify and for me it loads. (I've checked it from multiple different devices and networks, for me it loads.)

I also use an uptime robot service that runs every 5 minutes or so and I haven't received any incidents about it.

May I ask where you are located? Does https://taonexus.com/economaster load for others?

Helping the world? They just want those pictures. They and their friends are in too many of them.
They do but it's not as smooth as rust or Python. It is obvious that not many people use neovim or similar editors. Like, last time I used it Microsoft broke their own LSP protocol and fixed it in the vscode extension.

Statistically speaking, isn't it still better to have a jury of multiple people requiring unanimous consent, as opposed to a single equally fallible judge?

> In a modern environment, memorizing the minutia of an API should be as relevant as memorizing times tables.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that some things should in fact be rote memorized when learning something new. For example, I do think that the multiplication table should be memorized, at least up until ten. I've counted floor tiles and made rectangles out of them with my growing children, but I made sure that certain very small, common multiplication products were repeated often enough to be memorized. Likewise, I do bother to memorize e.g. the intricacies of %f float representation with printf(). Memorizing does not preclude understanding root concepts.
I don't believe child killing would require prior convictions in order to get the death penalty in Texas.
> "We have not yet figured out hybrid work," Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, wrote on Threads. "Assigned desks mean lots of empty chairs. Hotel desks mean lots of unfamiliar faces. Pods are good for privacy but take up a ton of space. We have a lot to figure out."

Yeah, maybe work all that out before you demand everyone come back to the office? Just a thought ...
You're not wrong, that is the dictionary definition of eugenics. However painting "aborting a fetus with CF" and "sterilizing the 'undesirable' races" as equivalent is a pretty massive leap in my opinion.

There's historic context to eugenics and a nexus with racism, nationalism, fascism, and physiognomy that makes it a harmful ideology.

I don't think those factors are present in the case where people doing the eugenics are the parents and the phenotype being selected against is dying a slow, painful death in the absence of lifelong exotic drug therapy.

There are really good questions about where to draw the line here though. What if it's type-1 diabetes?
I rarely search these days. Between chatgpt, perplexity.ai and ocasionally bing chat (to get AI results but with sources), google looks mostly outdated. I use it for maps and finding places/businesses, though

I don't see how professional judges are forced into taking evidence into an account.

As far as I know, they get a lot of money, funny hair and get to do whatever they want with no checks.

Even in informal economies there are informal realtors, and they will demand their cut.

Will output quality of an average excel user go down, if the job duties will evolve into verifying LLM output and not performing low-level tasks over and over?

I don't consider 'tech workers', working class. We're higher paid, our jobs do not destroy our bodies, in my mind it's a purely middle class career. I agree with your actual point though, we are pampered.
