In practice it's not likely I'd be reading their blog, but to answer the question, it would depend on the nature of the blog post. I think it's possible to have thoughtful and well-considered arguments against affirmative action. It's also possible to be a dick, and I'd put DHH squarely in that category. If I thought the apple-seller was a dick, then no, I would not buy apples from them.

To move out of hypotheticals, I was a long-time fan of Kanye West. When it turned out he was an antisemite, I decided I would no longer stream his music. I know each stream is worth less than a penny but I'm not comfortable putting any amount of money in his wallet. When I learned that Adidas was fully aware of his antisemitism and tolerated it to make a buck, I decided I'd be buying Nikes instead.

Every time Musk opens his mouth these days, he damages the brand of the companies he owns/is associated with. That's because it's his choice to speak his mind, and it's the choice of consumers to put their dollars elsewhere. This fact is not new. When you sell a business, some amount of the value is attributed to "goodwill". Musk, DHH and West have all damaged their brands and in the process, diminished the goodwill and thus the value of their companies.
How about when supporting both use cases? A multinational company might need the former for people making decisions across the whole company, and a country specific department doesn't need anything but what's relevant to that country.

You could make two tools, but now you're duplicating implementation. Factor out a shared library/service/modularization-approach-de-jour? Good idea, but we're back to the question of how to structure things.

You don't always get to enforce that "OR"

> Anyone remember when "frontend applications" were actual applications and not web pages?

I do. And also I remember building those apps. It was not as simple as building webapps today.

Yes, there are downsides to this model (a lot of them) BUT you can whip up a simple app with a beautiful UI in a couple of hours today. It was not like that 25 years ago.
I used Drupal to build my first real CRUD app. I was a beginner programmer and needed the hand-holding that the framework provided. As my knowledge grew, I found myself relying more on custom modules that I wrote rather than those in the framework. Eventually, I was fighting against the framework more than it was helping. When Drupal 8 rolled around, it was not worth the effort to make the switch. I don't ever see myself using Drupal again but I will always say thanks for providing the training wheels when I needed it most.
What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation a.k.a. RAG?
I disagree on it being "overthinking". I just did replacement without really thinking. Saw that it failed on the "eightwo" case since "two" got replaced first, so just replaced "two" with "two2two" instead, then passed it through solver for part1. To me that's simpler and more naive than correctly writing a search or backwards-forwards regex :)

Why is it always orange juice?

I have had exactly the same experience. One glass of orange juice is great. 3/4 of a gallon.. not so much.
Would it not be possible to look at one single level across all company? ie IC4 or something?

> we argue that the late learners resort to computationally less efficient processing strategies when confronted with (lexically determined) syntactic constructions different from the L1.

> we show that the ERP signal in response to grammatical violations depends on the AoA of an L2 learner, as well as on the regularity of the structure under investigation. In (lexically determined) syntactic constructions different from the L1, we found a gradual change in processing strategies that varies by AoA, with a native-like effect for early learners and a less efficient neural processing strategy for later starters.

Although they do clarify that these effects could be confounded with age of acquisition instead of it being the cause.

Résumé/CV: https://florianstecker.net/resume.pdf

I'm a postdoctoral mathematics researcher and professor at Florida State University. I'm looking to leave academia for a job in software engineering, machine learning, data science, or anything where my math skills can be useful.

I have a broad knowledge of math, physics and computer science. I've been programming for most of my life, and regularly use computer experiments in my math work (see examples on my website). These tend to be niche problems, so I often build all algorithms from scratch. I have also worked in the industry a bit before my PhD (building simulation software in C++ and C#).

As a mathematician, I am used to tackling hard problems without established solutions. I enjoy learning new things, and through years of teaching and presenting my research I am also fairly good at communicating complex ideas.

I'm particularly interested in work which has an interesting algorithms or optimization aspect, like high-performance computing, compilers, low-level/embedded programming etc. I also got really interested in machine learning recently, and started reading about and experimenting with it (my math background helps here!). But I'm pretty open-minded, so if you think I could be useful for whatever you're doing, please reach out!
Genuinely curious why not just cache the relevant bits in LocalStorage / SessionStorage? I seem to remember Chrome trying to add a literal SQL database to the browser, but it never panned out, localStorage became king. I don't mean to downplay the usefulness, just I usually opt for what the browser gives me. I'm huge on WASM and what it will do for the browser as it matures more (or grows in features).
I'm curious to know how well these models can pick up slang. Maybe if you talk shit in as thick a slang as you can it won't be able to give a good enough translation.
Which is why the FAANG and Microsoft and all the tech really comes from France right?

Actually choosing companies at all is so 2019. Now it’s companies choosing you :(
Looks to me like you got your facts wrong. And your definitions too...
While this is a fun and interesting way to see what you've watched for your personal amusement and even sharing if you so choose, what else could be done...?

I'm curious if the general public would react if a tool like this took it further to then show you the analysis that targeting advertisers can use based on these metrics. Obviously, this isn't the entire set of data used, but it would show a great deal of the "logic".

Or, would it be possible to create an alternate suggestion algo than YT's? The algo would be based less on ad sales or engagement, but proper suggestions based on similarity to what you were watching. Allow the user to then start tweaking the suggestions then and there with buttons that encouraged/discouraged similar content in the suggestions and other types of things that YT will never allow. Is that even something people would do? I'm guessing yes if people are willing to download/upload this data just to get a summary that's not directly beneficial to finding more content. <shrugs>
I genuinely find it absolutely infuriating that so many people actually think any of those people are self-made.

They all had rich parents that provided a massive safety net in case their ventures failed.

For over 90% of the country, if they quit their day jobs to try out some business venture, they'd be bankrupt within a few months just from living expenses, let alone business expenses. Half the country would probably be out on the street within weeks as they wouldn't be able to pay the rent.

57% of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency expense [0]. For these people, even if they didn't quit their day jobs, they'd have an extremely difficult time getting a business off the ground.

Sure. You could model it as being there being an extremely weak expansion force happening between your fingers, but the force not being enough to overcome any other local forces (gravity, molecular bonds, etc)… said force is not strong enough to overcome planetary orbits either, or orbits of stars around the galactic center, or the orbits of nearby galaxies around each other… but once you start getting into intergalactic scales where the force attracting galaxies together is very weak, the expansion force starts to actually make a difference.

But the point is the space between your fingers isn’t literally expanding. It’s not like the universe is just expanding everywhere uniformly, which is what tux3 seemed to imply. The distance between your fingers is staying the same, and so is everything else nearby.
> Dear God it's a 3300 line file. Any way but one long 3300 line file is a significant improvement.

I happily hack every day on a project that is self contained in a single 12K line (and growing) file. For me, splitting into multiple files would have negative utility. Everything is essentially in one place. I can find anything I need for my project with '/' search very quickly in vim.

My style is obviously not for everyone but it works great for me. I programmed for decades with traditional file splits and only in the last few years have I switched to single file. I have little interest in going back. For me, it is liberating to stop thinking about directory layout entirely. It also helps me to use simpler tools (I only use vim with no plugins) in part because I don't need help managing multiple files.

But how do I do that exactly? What does this even mean? I could literally put the whole codebase into one file since it is all related somehow or another.

Notice how many of these hacks grew out of what was called the "pixel perfectionist" crowd in those days. The Web and HTML came out of a community that valued logically, semantically organized content. Communication was largely about words and ideas. If the result looked about as exciting as an academic paper, well, that was fine. The adoption by a community concerned with communicating with design, using color, layout, and other visual elements, came with a host of ways to squeeze it out of the limited capabilities of HTML.

Notice also how many of the hacks were about making it the design look the same in IE as in Netscape. Or in some cases, making it just work, at all, in IE while not breaking in Netscape or Opera or other browsers.

One could argue that this mix of competing rendering engines led to a great deal of creative discovery that drove future developments, and today we have, essentially 3 engines: Chromium, WebKit, and Quantum (formerly Gecko)

Resleeve | Remote | Netherlands +- 5 hours | Full-time internship | Machine Learning Engineer (Generative AI)

Resleeve is a startup that seeks to transform how fashion designers develop their next fashion item and get a photoshoot from that item. Instead of going through multiple drafts, creating a dummy, hiring a photographer and model, all can now be achieved through Resleeve Studio. We were founded 1 year ago and pivoted in September.

Are you in your last year of university or did you recently graduate and do you have hands-on experience with generative models, then this could be a great internship experience. We will provide you with an environment where you will work with the CEO and the CTO (me, ex MLE leader at Bain & Co and BCG) to develop new features for our studio and work with our end-users to address their business needs.

We are looking for one to two machine learning engineers with an affinity for pytorch and architecture components, including transformers, autoencoders, diffusion, and embeddings.

Interested? Drop me (CTO) an email at jobs+hn@resleeve.ai
