> a car with a trunk will almost always lose to the same vehicle with a more SUV-like end, because it can hold more.

Modern SUV-like vehicles often have such raked back-ends that they barely hold more than the equivalent sedan. The opening and ease of loading is much better, however.

RAG is the one paradigm of modern AI that's completely uncontroversial (hallucinations aside) and will persist even if there's an AI-industry crash.

The more annoying part of RAG is that it's so effective it's creating a lot of confusing best practices and a ton of venture capital around tooling, notably vector stores (which IMO are insufficiently differentiated) and libraries to integrate a RAG flow (LangChain being the common painful example, but RAG is simple enough that it doesn't even need its own abstraction).

Hello! I'm Lewis Godowski, a creatively-driven lead engineer with over a decade of experience across the Apple ecosystem. Passionate about the little details of good design and a strong advocate for the human-centered design process.

Most recently, I was brought onto a new strategic business unit build to turnaround, manage, and lead an underperforming team of ~10 iOS engineers at a top 3 global motorcycle manufacturer. I had two main responsibilities I needed to balance: doing some heavy lifting as an individual contributor, and more importantly people management (upwards with product stakeholders, laterally with other pods and work streams, and downwards with my team). I identified and reduced inefficiencies in our scrum sprint cycle rituals, and established a standard architecture, code style guide, and best practices document for the client's codebase, resulting in a 28% increase in velocity and allowing us to deliver on schedule for an in-person launch event with 150+ dealerships.

Unfortunately, my current role has been transforming more and more into a business/digital consultant, which means a lot of my time is spent working on slide decks and high-level architectures that never see the light of day. It's bumming me out and taking me away from what I really enjoy: writing code, learning new skills, and wearing multiple hats to solve problems.

Ideally, I'm looking for an iOS (or Vapor, a server-side Swift framework) role as either manager or IC that lets me really flex my Swift and iOS expertise.
Our goal is to have a good recall, sometimes to the detriment of precision, so for words with multiple meanings, it might consider them toxic when in the actual context they are used in, they are not. The toxicity mitigation algorithm will search for alternative translations that have the correct meaning but not the potentially toxic word so that there is no added toxicity in the output. This means that sometimes the model might prefer a less coloquial phrasing than what a human would.

You can find details on how the multi-language creation of the toxicity lists was done in section 7.3 of the NLLB paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.04672.pdf. TLDR: it's not just a translation of a base English list, even if we started from that, each language has a curated list that was built by professional translators.

That they get so involved is the reason I participate (despite also working at the same time). I love the fact that the difficulty starts low and then goes up to levels where I feel really challenged. It's a month (well, 25 days) commitment which pays off the entire 11 other months for me :)
I'm here for the comments!! This has been an incredible project to witness (I'm technically in the photo that appears on the Apple ][, but it's hard to make it out as I'm in the back)

> well a strong enough crash will always result in harm to either or both sides. One still has to define the type of crash etc.

Sure, but that's way beyond the scope of a comment on a web forum to enumerate let alone describe in detail. Whatever the current survivability standards are, they'll say speeds and directions etc., so reuse those but with the new car as the other object in the collision.
Nooks (https://nooks.ai) | Software Engineers (full-stack & backend/applied ML) | Full-time | SF or Remote
Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nooks — we’re trying to re-invent how sales teams work with real-time collaboration and AI.

Nooks is: - A virtual office: you can work from anywhere in the world, but still work with your team and get feedback and coaching like you’re sitting side-by-side. - and an AI co-pilot. We learn how your team works, identify “winning” strategies behaviors, then share them with the whole team during and after calls!

We’re working on fun engineering challenges including complex distributed systems, low-latency algorithms & infrastructure, and modeling sales calls with large language models. You'll also have the chance to make a huge impact on our customers (sales reps who spend 80% of their work day on Nooks.)

Right now we’re a small team (~25 ppl) growing super quickly - doubling revenue every quarter, and recently hit $2M ARR!

Looking for experienced engineers who love tackling difficult product questions and working closely with customers. Excitement about language models, few-shot learning and other recent AI advances is also a plus :)

I’d love to chat: reach me at nikhil [at] nooks.in or apply at the link below: https://nooks.breezy.hr/p/bbc06c1a1bb4-software-engineer

I miss Drupal a lot. I sure wish it had won out in the CMS battle with Wordpress. I remember making little custom CRUD apps with almost no code all the way back when Drupal 5 was the thing.

Like a lot of other ppl it seems I left off when they switched to composer. That didn't fit too well into the workflow I had at the time using cheap web hosting services where I didn't get a shell as dev environments.

Also the upgrade treadmill was brutal. A few nice little web apps I made got totally left behind by security updates and such and were also too hard to upgrade to newer versions of Drupal. I remember that also being a major motivator to make the big jump to Python and other things. More code but also easier to manage over long periods of time.

Lots of good lessons in Drupal for other frameworks. I haven't tried it in a while, but it's still in my mind one of the best low-code custom fields, forms, and views systems out there.

Hi, I'm Christina, a product designer with over 6 years of experience with iOS, Android, Web, CarPlay platforms. Designed for services with millions of users, fresh startups and specialized products.

I take a human-centered approach to design and am passionate about digital accessibility and inclusion. I recently moved to the US and am looking for new opportunities to work on interesting, meaningful products here. I am a legal resident of the US, have all the necessary documents, and do not require sponsorship or visas.
If you're not in a team where you're in a position to influence the choices used, this will be far down the list of your problems. My sympathies.

We have several more ways to define methods already, and always have. If you think this gives us two perhaps the problem is you don't know the language very well.

Choices like this, to create options to adjust how the code reads has always been central to the design of Ruby. It's an odd thing to be annoyed with Ruby over.

"Parses insanely" is highly subjective. It parses exactly as you should expect it to if familiar with Ruby. Some of it is not ideal, and will likely be addressed with adjustments to the grammar. In the meantime the simple fix is to add parentheses whenever in doubt.

>Today's middle class is doing office work instead, at often enough pretty high productivity (i.e. corporate profit per work hour) rate.

Only if you work for some of the wealthiest companies in the world does your individual productivity scale that well, but unless you work somewhere like Luxembourg, the Mittlestand most likely works for averge companies.

>There's nothing preventing the world's largest employers to pay their employees an actual living wage.

There is: Lack of wage legislation and/or poor market competition so you're forced to accept any wage or starve.

You know the difference? Consoles are usually attached to big-ass TVs. So whatever graphics iPhones may have games like Resident Evil will be few and far in between, and more of a curiosity.

We already had "console-level graphics" with whatever was the fantasy demo it was 10 years back. Nothing materialized then. Nothing will materialize now.

years and years ago on a C++ forum someone made an observation that was eerily similar to yours. I still remember it to this day as it stuck in my head.

They made an observation that our industry goes in cyclical centralize/de-centralize cycles and that we we were (at the time) entering into a centralization cycle.

Now here I am reading a comment that we're going back into a de-centralization cycle and I wouldn't be surprised if you're the same poster.

probably 15-20 years ago (maybe more?) I made a prediction that I still think will come true.

The OS will become the "browser" and applications will run directly on the OS and will access local resources through standardized interfaces. WebAssembly and things like WebGL are already moving us in that direction. Honestly HTML5 was the first time I recognized standard updates as moving us towards that reality with things like localStorage, etc.

I honestly think if someone more imaginative had the helm at MS when the cloud started getting big they would have eaten google's lunch by leveraging their desktop dominance into the web. Instead they dd inane things like display websites on the desktop (win98 IIRC).
The boomers actually get to the point quickly. The young guys are the ones that send ten messages before getting to the point.
How much more work is it to get those up and running?
I don't think that most people are disputing that it can work either way. But enough people are invested in staying remote themselves (I'm one!) that it turns into remote is better in all circumstances and people who want to be in an office are just as well-off as well.
Yep, the original Turing test is adversarial: There's a computer subject trying to act human, a human subject trying to act human, and an examiner trying to tell which of the subjects is the human. If there exists an examiner which can distinguish the subjects with probability non-negligibly different from 0.5, then the computer fails the test.

Who are the competitors?

Hybrid is my ideal option. I don’t think there is any point coming in every day, just 2-3 days to get all meetings and collaboration done, and then a few days at home to grind out the work that requires no discussion.

> Sure, but the interruption was for a good reason and my help was actually needed.

Wouldn't this be true of just about everyone complaining about such interruptions though? I can't imagine anyone would mind being interrupted if the building were on fire. People just differ on what they consider to be good reasons.

I'm sure there are unreasonable people on all sides, both those asking for unreasonable conditions to interrupt them and those not respecting reasonable conditions for interruptions, but I don't think it's the majority of the people complaining about it. I've been in this situation a few times, and lots of people just don't have good impulse control and so don't even think twice about interrupting you if it's more convenient for them.
If you're building your own facility, there's a lot of things you can do with design. In our case, these servers need to go into other people's facilities (e.g., ISPs around the world) so we need to live within their constraints. Things like liquid cooling either wouldn't be possible or would add significant complexity to install and maintain.

I also thought to use a Trie for part two, thinking of it similarly to a typeahead problem, but I hadn't heard of Aho-Corasick.

I thought it was over-complicating a day one solution, so I ended up brute-forcing similar to above solutions. Still, it is nice to learn about this algorithm. I may come back to give it a shot and compare runtimes later. Thanks!

> It isn't clear how they manage the subscription to data updates/inserts/deletions - it mentions supporting triggers, but that feels icky to me.

Architecture post coming soon. In the meantime, I want to clarify that SQLSync does not use triggers for sync. Instead, I hijack SQLites page storage and added page replication to it. Writes are consolidated through an API I call the "reducer" which allows SQLSync to keep track of which logical writes correspond to which sets of page changes. The actual sync is pretty dumb: we run the reducer on both the client and the server. The client replicates down server pages, and then periodically throws out local changes, resets to the server state, and then replays any mutations that haven't yet been acked on the server.
Offline/local-first based on SQLite seems hot right now. Third one I’m reading about this week. And it sounds good to me!

WHATWG didn't advance the Web for anyone except for-profit interests.

I cut my teeth on HTML 3.2 so I know what byzantine BS was needed for IE and Netscape. Those were choices made by MS and Netscape, however, so even with a bigger W3C presence, there was no guarantee or even hint that MS and Netscape would fall in line with new standards to begin with.

And it was better then than the garbage we have now where if one big company decides they want it, the rest of the Web gets to deal with it.

That's SO much better, man. /s
