Remote: Yes. The last 5 years have been "remote only". I'm more productive WFH and will not consider having to buy a car I don't normally need and go back to wasting my time commuting.

Willing to relocate: Not unless you pay me 25MM upfront.

Technologies: I'm not limited by language, frameworks, or clouds, as I helped build several of them for current "bigtech" companies and can ramp up quickly due to my prior experience in contacting and consulting. My total experience spans over 25 years of in the trenches technology, while constantly being updated because its what I love. I used Java last at AMZN, C#/F#/Python/Rust/SQL at MSFT (and more recently with Ruby On Rails thrown in), with Go/Python for both a CLEC I gave MMS capability to as well as some more recent startups, if that helps. Most Current projects are in Rust, Go (Gin), Python (Django), C#, AWS (Lambda, etc)

I only have experience leading engineering organizations with up to 200 engineers, so anything bigger would be new, but I'm up for it, and in that role they offered me the VP promotion I could not accept due to a relocation request that was part of the VP promotion, so I went back to MS and became a lead dev again working in the code when that ended. I have no problem working on smaller teams and honestly think my skills and experience are more valuable to them when I'm in the trenches with the rest of the team.
This is cool. I like that it makes it super easy to get data into the database rather than having to meddle with schemas in advance.

Looked through the documentation briefly but couldn't figured out how selecting nested properties or filtering on nested properties works?

Agree, it's dealing with distributed systems all over and handling a very limited sandbox on the client side.

I think my sibling comments are completely underestimating the complexity and the market value here. Apple Reminders or Google Tasks are customer facing applications for single individuals, nobody but a single client is working at a time on their own data. Businesses on the other hand want their data at a central location and personnel close to the tasks using client applications. They don't want any reliability issues in the client-server-communication blocking the work being done. Heck, businesses want to be able to throw more people at the same tasks and we call it collaborative editing.
I haven't run the code, but... how is this even possible? I've done PyTorch profiling on QLoRA Llama-2-70B fine tunes, and the runtime is dominated by the large matrix multiplies in the MLP layers, plus a bit for attention. Under the hood, this repo calls the same torch.matmul() for MLP and flash_attn_func() for attention as HuggingFace does. So how can it be that much faster? They have a few Triton kernels, but there appears to be no Triton on MLP or attention and that's most of the bottleneck.
Nowadays it's Microsoft Teams, one step forward and two step backwards, every. single. update.
I think plenty of people (myself among them), have used Nouveau without issues.
why your website looks like some unfinished template with lot of Lorem Ipsum things?
A reassuring take on the history of automation as a labour substitute. While I'd like to believe the fundamental message here still holds from 2015, recent advances make me a little less confident that the following continues to be true - "many of the middle-skill jobs that persist in the future will combine routine technical tasks with the set of nonroutine tasks in which workers hold comparative advantage: interpersonal interaction, flexibility, adaptability, and problem solving."

(for any put off by the length, the paper is very comprehensively referenced. The actual content is 25ish pages)
Can you go into a little bit more depth about what life is like for these people? What do they do? How do they keep it so secret? Etc.

I’m fascinated you can have so much wealth and benefit from it in proportion to its scale without giving the game away
Where? In former communist countries the workers didn't have any power after the seizing of the means of production, as now they were ruled by brutal dictatorships with powerful militaries who'd send you to the gulag for $REASON.

Hardly the envisioned "seizing the means of production" and more like "being seized for production".
I think I have experienced this at past companies, including Amazon.

But the limit was very high. I recall setting the contribution to something like 80% or 90% and maxing out after a few paychecks.

But in general: I agree with you. Why should we only be allowed to do what my employer allows? As if them allowing me to contribute is some benefit they are bestowing upon me. Rather than them just being middle-men between me and tax law.
The latest Zen4c-based EPYC chips are reaching very high power densities. They're reportedly targeted towards hyperscalers that are badly cramped for space in their datacenters but can be more flexible wrt. power budgets. In a way, these concerns had to be there already with HPC hardware, so there's probably well-established approaches for dealing with them too.
That's kind of a strange question. It would be a confirmed theory rather than a conspiracy theory if there were empirical evidence. I would say, though, in support of the theory: (1) this is how the ultra-wealthy have always behaved throughout history, to advance the interests of their own social class, to preserve and enhance their social inequality, and (2) I have a hard time trusting the motives of the people who have set up these foundations, because they've always been ruthless and greedy throughout their lives. Gates has never stopped accumulating personal wealth; his net worth is higher now than when he "retired" and claimed he was going to give most of his wealth away! Buffett has never stopped accumulating personal wealth either. It's a cop-out to claim that you're going to give everything away to charity, but only after you're dead. Moreover, your pledges are worthless when your dead, because your children who now control your money via the foundations may behave in ways that you didn't intend (which is often the way with children).

If you're going to give most of your wealth away to charity, and by that I mean to actual people who need the money, not to a "foundation", then give it away now, before you die. I do not trust Bill Gates one bit, not even one tiny bit. I don't even trust the foundations to do good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundat...

So you can say that my conspiracy theory is the most cynical interpretation of the situation, due to my cynicism about the billionaires themselves.

> Then people like me can move somewhere with low taxes that leaves you alone

I do kind of wish higher-tax states would stop subsidizing the lower-tax states. Let them live in the squalor they seem to desire.

Alas, we're UNITED states and have a Federal government that takes money from California and gives it to Alabama while they celebrate their low taxes.
Those aren't facts on the ground, they're legal fictions for another country.

Have you been to an un-recognised country before? I have. It's just... a country. Currencies, police, military, border security. Those are the facts on the ground. What their neighbours think are not.
That’s a good point. Taking calculus and other courses definitely helped to provide a good foundation. But, for anyone struggling in those courses and wondering if they can make it in this industry: a barely-passing grade in Calculus II won’t be a career-ender. :-)
The issue was that a specific library would be pinned at a specific version for the rest of the history of the web. As good as SQLite is, I hope to hell we're not still stuck using it to handle mining operations in the oort cloud in 200 years.
the real UX goal is to minimize data loss (ie. provide the ability to resume whatever the user was doing, from a point that's as recent as possible), and for this it becomes necessary to provide "auto-save"

at that point there's already a diverging state problem, even if it's saved to localStorage (but obviously it's much better to save it on the server)

it's absolutely ridiculous that we spent the last 10+ years simply reinventing the same wheel (all low-level tools, Angular, React, Vue, rxjs, hooks, signals, whatever, etc), without providing the useful composable primitives for the hard problems.

and now there's yet one more thing on the frontend, SQLite. okay, there's a sync thing too. it's not like we didn't try it with that adorable DB (RethinkDB).
Fair, I mostly mean the media here though. Like we're gonna spend decades lauding Ray Dalio and only when he retires are we suddenly gonna pop the hood and check what's going on in his hedge fund? It's just the meekest clickbait I can imagine and nobody's being the slightest bit bold here.
Currently, SQLSync copies the entire SQLite database to every client. So in order to support large datasets you would need to split up the data over many databases. Some applications can do this, some can't. It depends on the specific business and usage requirements.

Perhaps in the future, SQLSync will support partial replication which would enable this use case. As always there are trade-offs to consider with both approaches.

Hi! I build reliable software systems using modern tools and techniques.

I have built and scaled software systems for a large user base. I have led, developed, and maintained several critical features for SOC2 and PCI compliant products such as Nintex Workflow Cloud, Xendit Payments, and Ezypay Subscription Payment System.

Before that I worked on some of the cool stuff like Natural User Interfaces, Body Gesture Recognition Systems and Image Processing to build cool solutions.

Also, I helped build QTCP a TCP Congestion Control Algorithm that performs better than Cubic, Bic and other algorithms.

I am just a click away; Feel free to reach out to me.

Puma Browser | Remote-first with PST overlap | Engineering & Growth | $75-120k base & 200k+ equity | http://join.puma.gg

Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma Browser. I've previously worked in developer relations at Cloudant (YC S08), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11), and explored AI/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars) before diving deep into crypto.

We started with the idea of a privacy-first browser with built-in micropayments (via the Interledger Protocol) and have since added support for identity (HNS, ENS; Unstoppable Domains in testing) and storage (IPFS; Arweave in testing).

We just soft launched Anthropic and OpenAI integrations and excited to make your browser smarter, do more things for you and further explore intersection of crypto & ai.
Incentive and governance structures for AI companies and training/running LLMs in a decentralized way is a particularly interesting direction imho.

We recently surpassed 750k downloads and are excited to grow our team. Our investors include Protocol Labs, Shima Capital, Fenbushi, Don Ho (Orange DAO), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (ex-GitHub CTO), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol, Google Deep Learning, TensorFlow) and many more.

Our Values:

- We value Optimism, Kindness, Curiosity, Speed and Grit.
- Two recurring weekly meetings to maximize state of flow – Monday all-hands, Friday Demos.
- Careful with growth and never had to do layoffs.
- Capital efficient with 3+ years of runway.

Open Roles: Ai/ML Engineer, iOS Engineer, Head of Memes & Growth, Internships: Eng, Design, Growth

That's about the same price as nuclear.

That's not because storage had a mystery breakthrough in price you missed, it's just that nuclear is that expensive.
It's a good example and I think it generalizes. For instance, I'm capable of some minor repairs for appliances, but if some problem seems to be contained in the PCB and I can just replace it for $50 (or whatever) I'll just do that. I don't own an oscilloscope and only barely know how to use it--so yes, I'm sure I've spent $50 when I could have just desoldered some 25 cent part, but it's far more costly for me to learn how to diagnose and fix these sorts of problems than to just buy my way out.

I learned how to do one profession to a high standard and maybe aspects of some others to a lesser standard, but it's just smart to be mindful of how we want to spend our limited skill-development budget.
Buried at the bottom, I found this interesting. Any details on how it works? Could you just store compressed refrigerant in a tank for later use?

> The manufacturer said the heat pump can also be integrated with energy storage systems (ESS) to maximize the use of residential PV systems.
“Surplus energy can be stored in the ESS battery and diverted to the AWHP’s integrated water tank during the daytime, when solar energy production is at its peak,” it explained. “In the evening, when energy consumption is typically high, the ESS utilizes the stored energy to provide hot water and to power home appliances, boosting energy efficiency and energy self-reliance.”
Drupal 8 introduced an entirely new caching system, with actually good cache invalidation. Right now if I save new content on one of my sites, it queues an invalidation request that gets sent to Varnish (which can be run either as a shutdown function or via a queue runner on cron) and the new content shows up within seconds.

I’m not sure I read the OP the same way you did. If you read it as “can I build a site on the scale of Reddit or Twitter with Drupal” then no, don’t build Reddit or Twitter with Drupal. If you read it as “will Drupal serve a site with user generated content” then yes, it will, but if you’re planning to be a top 10 site on the internet, you’ll need a custom stack.
Omnigres | Founding Engineer | SF Bay Area HQ | REMOTE
At Omnigres, our north star is to enable developers to laser-focus on business needs instead of fighting technological challenges.

We're fighting the complexity and inefficiencies of contemporary stacks by removing them instead of hiding them.

At the core, we are turning Postgres into an Application Runtime. Why? Because we believe that code and data are inseparable in pretty much all of the line-of-business application systems. Turns out, when done this way, applications work a lot faster, require a lot less maintenance and are simply easier to write.

Our foundation is open source and is available at https://github.com/omnigres/omnigres

We're backed by some great early-stage VCs and looking to onboard people who can move quickly, learn on the go and maintain the focus on the goals. Another way to look at it: we want to meet other pragmatic idealists.

Yeah, powered by a pump near your chest, with heat pushed out from the center using liquid, and then distributed everywhere it is needed using smaller and smaller tubes that get close to the surface of the skin before returning. And why not use this same liquid to provide extra oxygen. Love it!

The last time I was on the periphery of mountaineering, performance enhancing drugs were commonplace. A breakthrough in performance enhancing drugs should yield new results in mountaineering.
Uber | Software Engineers | Hybrid (Denmark) | https://www.uber.com/dk/en/careers/locations/aarhus/

Work with an amazing team responsible for the infrastructure software that makes Uber’s data centers around the world reliable and scalable. If you want to solve the toughest engineering challenges alongside some of the smartest people in the industry, Uber Aarhus is the right place for you.

The team in Aarhus build and operate the stateless and stateful compute platforms used by nearly every other engineer in the company (Up - https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/up-portable-microservices-re... and Odin - https://www.uber.com/en-GB/blog/how-uber-optimized-cassandra...) as well as other related infrastructure projects such as Cadence - https://github.com/uber/cadence.
My mom used to do English/French translation. Her favorite example was the word "file". That word has multiple translation in French depending on the context, and that context may simply be implied by who is speaking. You may not be able to figure it based on the conversation alone.
Also, IIRC, and less commonly seen, you can do:

for i
do
# your commands using $i here
done

which will iterate over all the command line arguments to the script containing that for loop.
It is a shortcut for:

for i in $*
# note: not for i in *
# the rest is the same above

This is mentioned in either the shell man page or in the Kernighan & Pike book The Unix Programming Environment.
To build on this a little - M7 involves climbing a mix of ice and rock, but instead of using conventional fingers and rubber-soled climbing shoes, you'd do the rock-only parts by "dry-tooling" - using your ice axe and crampons on the bare rock. It's kind of a weird experience.
> I have a really vague toy idea of "what if ChatGPT did stuff async?". So for example you have a bot that messages you at some time of the day to start a conversation. I don't know what the practical uses are, but what got me there is having a bot to motivate you towards your goals. I don't feel I have enough of a thread on this idea yet to build something, so might let this one stew.

I saw in another thread somewhere, people talking about a simple cron job, checks maybe your email/calendar and has some algo for ranking "importance." If it's important enough, it writes you a notification.

The LLM doing the ranking of importance, basically.
Its this. Domain controller, dns, nessus scanner to start at every office site. Next up legacy csttom windows apps. Maybe i could add a lot of complexity and throw those in kubevirt but there isnt a massive benefit when my work load looks like so very many other medium sized non software businesses:3-10 vms per site across 3-20 sites handles our entire workload when combined with o365 for business
The key is that there are no things. What we call a 'thing' is a dense set of relationships. Often, that's between particles of matter that stay close together to due nuclear and chemical bonds or physical forces, but the actual thing itself is a set of relationships. 'dogs', like humans, are not actually separable from 'environment'. At least not live dogs, because the environment contains the oxygen. So in labeling a set of relationships a dog, we've picked an useful set relationships with, on close inspection, somewhat fuzzy boundaries.

Then, what is a country? A set of relationships. Usually, a mostly contiguous large chunk of land and ... it involves other things that themselves are big sets of relationships you need to break down, like government. The country typically has government, but that one gets deep. Governments are made of and run by people. Then people consist of ... well, on and on it goes.

Anyway, these sorts of paradoxes go away in my experience if one simply recognizes that there are no things. There are only relationships. What's behind the relationships them? Nothing. The relationships are primary.
Similar goals, different philosophies and approaches.

A few differences: HTMX makes it possible to enhance any element with hypertext capabilities. I don’t believe it works with JavaScript disabled. Hotwire still relies on <a> and <form> to make HTTP requests as its focus is more geared towards progressive enhancement; the Hotwire portions of the app will still work with JS disabled.

Technically speaking, even bluray degrade over time so those key might get unreadable, not sure of the average lifespan since there is conflicting info on it but it seems to be around 100 year (ideal condition).
I really think the board and the whole organization would've come out of this just fine (minus a handful of resignations) if they'd just outlined their reasons to employees. Of course you can't keep a CEO who you can't trust.

Really bizarre that they didn't do that.
I said lesson, I didn't say facts.

What's the difference between data and information?

data is data

information is data with context

The values and lessons learned to build something that truly lasts gets forgotten over time until the thing that was built gets changed into a weaker form as the people involved stop valuing the things that gave it the stronger form.
The "space is cold" thing is actually a pretty good shibboleth for people who don't know that much about engineering things in space. Most space systems have to put in effort to reject excess heat than to hold onto basic amounts, hence those giant radiators and the high emissivity paint that gets used on most things.
