I think this one is a bit out of date....
For the team I am on maintaining virtual office hours has really helped in this respect. One or more (but at least one) senior+ person just working/hanging out in a zoom call where others can drop in and talk about whatever.

With remote teams you have to explicitly solve this issue rather than just having it happen like it does for healthy in office teams. But, it isn’t like this is some unsolvable problem.
>2. That’s why you WANT time zones in this example. It will automatically stay at 10am instead of bouncing around when DST rules change.

Respectfully, no - in my scenario, if I used a timezone then I would show up at the wrong time for my appointment: each locale that observes DST has two timezones: one for DST, one for non-DST (e.g. BST and GMT for the UK). If I record a 10am appointment as "10am BST" and my country changes the rules on daylight savings transition date between now and the appointment, then I will show up at the wrong time for my appointment. Whereas if my appointment is recorded as "10am Europe/London" then it's encoding the human reality of my appointment, and can be correctly converted to an Instant in time if the rules change.

It sounds to me from your reply that you are mentally modelling all datetimes as Instants. These are one key aspect of dates+times (and often all a lot of software needs - since it's usually referring to some point in time that has already passed, or a future point in time that is x seconds from some other Instant), but Instants don't cover everything required when working with dates and times.

>I’ve never ever needed timezone-less dates. Even using UTC or timestamps, it’s still UTC.

Try sketching out the design for a calendar application and I bet you'll very quickly run into a whole raft of datetime related logic you might never otherwise encounter. Think particularly about future events: some are fixed instants in time (e.g. a meeting with people across timezones), others aren't (e.g. a dentist appointment in your city - my second example above is an instance where the local time of the appointment is relevant, not the Instant in time that local time referred to when the appointment was made). How do you represent recurring events?
You see that a lot, but the actual idiom is with but, look it up.

Ageee when Google, who has been in the maps and software game much longer and with many billions more invested than any car company, can’t even tell that I’m on US101 on the HOV ramp and not on a surface street under the highway for that ramp where that Tesla driver using Autopilot fatally crashed into the barrier in Mountain View ( https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/HWY18FH011.aspx ). When I drive there, Google Maps via CarPlay consistently tells me to make a U-turn, not knowing where I am, as if it doesn’t have access to accelerometers or speed data or vehicle heading information such that it could reasonably conclude instead that the GPS is a bit inaccurate and/or there are multiple ramps in an area and without reliable elevation data, the vehicle could be in a couple of different spots, so go with the most likely guess of “the vehicle did NOT jump over the barrier while traveling 65mph+ and end up on a surface street (supported by accelerometer and compass data) and is just on another ramp”. It blows my mind that they’ve had this bug for at least a decade. I actually keep a list of Google Maps bugs that they could fix and have been thinking of applying there specifically to go fix them, since somehow everyone else at Google seems unwilling or unable to address these for reasons that I can only assume are ~corporate complacency.

Why office sucks can be for any number of reasons, I think it's more of a long tail phenomenon with a myriad of distincts personal preferences and special needs.

For instance office drinks can suck, and someone drinking 3 to 5 cups of warm drinks a day, being able to prepare delicious beverages with specialized equipement is a godsend.

Or people who work sitting on their bed. Or want their pet around. Or don't want to wear makeup and get out of the house at all. Those who squat during the long meetings. Those who usually need an hearing aid but can instead just push the sound up if they're at home etc.

Sure, any of those could be addressed in an office setting, but you still only have one office for hundreds of people who probably wish for different things. Most will just give up on comfort, where WFH is an option to be in a better situation.

I think the primary reasons to not be fraudulent are outside of any legal liabilities. I think the fact that you defended your advice about lying by saying it is not illegal says a lot about your attitude and worldview.
There are only 20bn Euro banknotes. Fits snuggly in a Postgres database. Most of the times, they go straight from the ATM to the consumer to the baker to the bank in one day. Any other loop is (correction: can be) traced and reported.

You don’t have privacy with banknotes. Try coins.
I see it as translation, not search. Search is already done fantastically well at small scale with simple indexing, and (before adversarial reactions from SEO) at internet scale with Page rank.

I feel you on the winter thing. I added an electric heater to my office so I can keep the temperatures a bit higher than the rest of the house (mostly I do this for my fingers, honestly). And through the magic of LEDs I have a fairly ridiculous amount of light I can turn on. Makes winter more bearable when I can make it as bright as high noon in July.

I totally get wanting to go into the office. I would go in a few days a week if they hadn't put our new office 20 miles away. Not close to where anybody lives, but it's in the trendy part of downtown.
In addition to the many suggestions offered above, you could also try your hand creating a portfolio by contributing to open source projects.

If you don’t know where to start, you could start by reviewing COSS (commercial open source software) projects that need help from contributors in exchange for payment (aka bounties) on Algora [1].

Issues typically have a dollar amount attached to them and the dollar amount is often a proxy of how much effort it would take you to complete it.

So, a $20 issue could probably take you a few mins to complete, while a $200 ticket could probably take you a few hours to a few days, if you are not familiar with the codebase/stack.

Note that competition is fierce for the “easy” tasks on Algora and many Algora regulars will open a PR (pull request) within minutes of a bounty being available publicly.

Good luck!

I mean, personally I see most religious ethics as oxymoronic too, at least in the sense of general ethics that would apply across heterogenous populations. Companies and religions typically have a set of ethics optimized for their best interests.
Personally agree with you (and FWIW I operate the same way). However,

Yeah, but there are no serious proposals to ban cash that have any chance of actually happening within our lifetimes.

People write research papers about all sorts of things. Omnipresent AI video surveillance of every square inch on Earth would probably have some benefits, but it’s politically unpalatable anywhere outside of a few countries.
If you look at the appendix, you can see example transcripts. The sample they provide looks like a very bad eval.

It’s encoding an originally visual problem into a textual matrix form, and then expecting GPT to recognize visual correlations. You simply can’t compare these two tasks! Most humans wouldn’t recognize the 5x5 matrix for a 4x4 square.

So the comparison with “human level” is completely invalid. And even the valid comparison is only measuring visio-spatial intelligence, not IQ.
One of the features I used the most was the "distributed move/fight" command. That just made it so easy to deploy e.g. a line of heavy tanks in front of a line of artillery.

Or mines that were actually useful. I played a game were my opponent got super paranoid after running into the first mine field.

Good times :-)
Worked in a place like that - mostly open cube space for around 80 inbound call agents, and a few 'side rooms'. Worked with 5 other dev/tech folks in one of those 'side rooms' - a suitably sized office for the 6 of us.

It was reasonable, in that we were generally all quiet or talking at the same time, and was not the worst place at all I've worked. Dedicated private space still works best for a lot of type of work (obviously that's "imo" but seems a standard POV from most colleagues today).
Huh?! You can sell your car, or take a loan against it. You can convert US dollars into your local currency.

I’m not a manager, but I think attitude goes a long way. Demonstrate an enjoyment in the social interaction and problem solving which comprise your career.

In the interview, be able to both explain technical decisions you have made on the job and answer technical questions. If you don’t know the answer, say what you do know, so the interviewer can get your thought process.

Internally, try to let your anxiety, frustration, and fears dissipate (don’t hang onto them). Optimism is good for your mental health, and it is a visible and desirable trait in a prospective employee or colleague.

Be authentically enthusiastic, but try to avoid coming across as over-eager. Try to maintain a pleasant, neutral, but thoughtful demeanor in the interview.

Good luck!

If I understand it correctly, as a PeerTube viewer I'm not only downloading the video, but also sharing it. Before I watched it.

This is a problem in countries where uploading copyrighted and illegal material has strong legal consequences (so I'd not want to share a video before I watched it fully so I can at least can see it doesn't have any obvious illegal content)
Chrome uses a local bloom filter of bad URLs for precisely that reason.
Sure, but it still makes the pro slightly worse than it could be. One of the things that quickly convinced me I’d been computing wrong, the first time I was issued a MBP, was that I could just pick it up and walk off and be able to work for hours. No need to grab the power brick or an extra battery (did I remember to charge it?) in case I was away more than two hours, no need to take a mouse, since the trackpad was actually a viable input device beyond a few painful minutes. Enough ports I’d almost certainly not need anything else (I wasn’t doing network tech stuff anymore, so absent Ethernet didn’t hurt me)

The windows machines at work have A ports (and C). They have a single notable leg up in the MBPs, now, as far as pick-up-and-go capability. Of course they still lag in other areas, but it’s gone from pure win to “most of it’s better… except that one thing”.
Let’s do semi trucks first for the “only allow a few mph above the speed limit” think. Driving down I-5 is infinitely more annoying with semis taking the left of two lanes to pass other semis because they want to to 65mph instead of their legally-mandated 55mph. Semis way a whole lot more than cars and have a lot more potential to cause a lot more damage, plus they’re professionals, so I’d love to see some accountability in this space while reducing the stop-and-go on I-5 that this stupid behavior causes.
You can ignore those random pings of all kinds until you at a good place to stop what you are doing and help out. If you are responding to all of those the second they come in, you are encouraging the problem by building a culture of over-responsiveness.

I've been on teams where we explicitly defined expected response times. 2 hours was the typical answer on teams where I've worked.

I've also been on teams that didn't define the expectation, but nobody I work with expects Slack to be real-time. The only time we respond quickly is when we have first asked, "Hey, let me know when you have a couple minutes to chat." And then I either stick around until they have time and quickly have the chat/huddle... or if they don't respond and I need to step away, I delete my message.

It sounds counter-intuitive but you can often build a better remote culture by being a little less responsive.

Can confirm. Had a good experience using Terraform Cloud on personal projects. Tried to bring it to my Big Co team but leadership / accounting couldn't get over the sticker shock from their resource based pricing.

How can you trace a loop unless it involves someone reading and reporting the serial number?

There are always exceptions to the rule and companies who _really_ know how to do this correctly but yes, usually unlimited PTO is a scam.
Firing Sam over concerns about safety and commercialization would be so myopic.

OpenAI’s commercial success is the engine that fuels their research and digs their moat.

Slowing down that engine means giving other companies, who may not share Sutskever et al’s safety concerns, the opportunity to catch up.

The best way for OpenAI to preserve AI safety is to stay far ahead of the competition. That’s the only way they can verify safety and install guardrails for the cutting edge.

The doomer board better hope that whichever company eventually surpasses OpenAI is as concerned about safety as they are.
they are copying the pulumi pricing which is insanely expensive as well. i don’t blame these companies for trying to make money but it’s one thing to codify the infrastructure. it’s another thing to pay for infrastructure as a service (on top of your iaas cloud)

i think there’s only 2 paths forward: host your own (short term) and cloud providers will offer this for free / lower cost (long term)

i think google and aws and the others will be strong at this in 5 years and will direct customers to iac more than clicking through a website. or simply offer better tools. the iac solutions today are just bandaids on poor user experiences in bigger products
> Why ship the game, then? Oh, right, Q4.

This is how you get people to never buy your games again. Please whenever you plan to release a game, add an entire year to that date, but work as if its due in exactly 1 year prior, and internally re-adjust and figure out "if I were to release in a month, what's the MVP", once you have a stable game, use the rest of your 9 months or so (assuming it takes 3 more months) and polish and add in any nice to haves that make the game feel more complete. I feel like Starfield could have used with maybe 6 months of content-only additions. Cities don't feel like in Fallout or Elder Scrolls, too many useless NPCs running about. I liked being able to stalk people into their homes and know their routines, its a little harder in Starfield to figure out who even is a non-useless NPC.

I got sidetracked, my original point was going to be, anytime Bethesda releases a new Elder Scrolls, Fallout or now Starfield esque game, the first thing I hear about is all the bugs, despite being a day 1 player and rarely running into bugs that really mean anything crucial (like crashing). Once you leave a rotten taste in your customer bases' mouth some of them will refuse to buy your game even if its the GOTY.

If you are a PM at a major game studio, start making a shift in how games are poorly made. It is really embarassing. I used to justify not pirating games because I know a lot of hard work goes into them as a developer myself, but with how crappy some games come out, I'm not sure I can justify buying or pirating games anymore, they're just so awful. Also all the DRM that does nothing to pirates, and ruins gamers systems in various unexpected ways.
Firefox downloads a list regularly, it doesn't send URLs of every visit to Google https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/how-safe-browsing-works-...

"It would be too slow (and privacy-invasive) to contact a trusted server every time the browser wants to establish a connection with a web server. Instead, Firefox downloads a list of bad URLs every 30 minutes from the server (browser.safebrowsing.provider.google.updateURL) and does a lookup against its local database before displaying a page to the user."
ZIRP is over and SaaS is entrenched. Prepare for a LOT more rug pulling and price gouging.

The labor and capital cost savings for moving to the cloud and SaaS were to get you there and get you dependent. Now that you don’t have in house IT anymore it’s time to turn the screws. You will soon be paying 2-3X what self hosted internal IT cost.

The the pendulum will start to swing the other way. This is one of those endless cycles in software and IT. Get ready for Harvard Business Review articles about how much someone saved exiting cloud.

In some places it’s a scam.

In other places, management mean well but are not aware that people tend not to take enough holiday with unlimited PTO.

Finally, some places are aware of the issue and try to do something about it. My girlfriend is being forced to take two weeks off next month for this reason.

If you are interviewing somewhere with unlimited PTO, it is vital that you ask them how they ensure that people take enough holiday, and reject them if you’re not happy with the answer.
True. When you can just make any function be whatever you want whenever you want that sort of abstraction does seem a big much. I was responding to the specific question in reference to the time provider in .net 8.
Estimating required GPU memory for serving LLMs
Having a hard time with estimating how much GPU memory that LLM needs to serve it? What kind of GPUs to use and how many?

Wrote a blog post to demystify the process of GPU memory usage estimating.
Hashicorp is one of the extreme examples. Terraform Cloud is an okay product at best, which went from expensive to very expensive. Moreover, they aggressively changed the Terraform license from open-source to BSL.

So after the whole community contributed a lot of providers, they want to profit from that.

You should use OpenTofu and buy IAC from one of the companies sponsoring full-time engineers on that project: Spacelift, env0, Harness or Scalr.
