This. Further, it’s a failure to continue to disincentivize roles that will support or port this business critical logic to something else. I worked at a large insurer where they slowly laid off mainframe talent over the last decade. Those mainframe salaries were counter to the narrative they were promoting around cloud being the future. Unfortunately in their haste to create optics they failed to migrate any of the actual code or systems from mainframe to cloud.
I am very comfortable with algorithmic and system design questions. However, what I am struggling with is articulating past experiences. Throughout my last 5 years at my previous employer, I didn't jot down in my personal notes any accomplishments or technical designs. And my memory is so rusty now that I have a hard time reciting them. I understand this is squarely my fault. Wondering if you have any advice on approaching my next job? (senior / manager role)

It's spot on. This is such a crazy end run around the real issue that it won't solve anything, it replaces COBOL that apparently the people that need this don't understand with Java that they also won't understand because it will be translated from idiomatic COBOL, which has about as much to do with Java as it does with Prolog, Visual Basic or C. You'd need to be an expert in both Java and COBOL to make soup of it.

You shouldn't judge a developer tool by just what is possible to do with the tool. After all, with a little turing-completeness it is possible to do anything with anything -- you should judge the tool by what is easy to do with the tool. A good developer tool shouldn't require knowledge of a bunch of arcana to "configure correctly". A good tool protects you from "rookie mistakes" and makes sane choices the intuitive and obvious path of least resistance. Good tools can have a learning curve, but they assist the learning curve by making their abilities easy to discover and experiment with, they don't require you to dig into source code or do random searches on github to find some random pipeline somewhere that uses the configuration you need, as described in the post.
It's not an underserved market. Google Ads and especially Facebook target that extremely well. It's a matter of their targeting settings, and your privacy settings. If you have blocked targeting then Twitter won't do better with you.

Also, imagine those services told you this: you'll spend $1000 a month with us, and never stop, or else we'll deauthorize your account and show this on your public account.

That's Twitter's offer to businesses, small or big. And I can't imagine small businesses taking on it.

I agree with your first statement but you lose me at the end.

There's been the push that everybody should go to college, which is well-intended but misses the mark.

Everybody who can learn and grow from it should go. Those who can't should have access to vocational training. They shouldn't be denied because they can't afford it. The boomers got affordable education that they could pay for with a part time job and graduate debt-free. That seemed to work out well for them and the country as a whole.

As for who should pay for it, as a public good it should primarily be payed for by the public coffers. But treating college as a glorified trade school (clear downstream economic impact) is short-sighted.
Each parent supplies half the genetic material. But each sperm and each egg have a randomly different set of one half of each chromosomes.

I was playing with this with the llama model was released - and provided I was loading from memory and not disk it was actually only negligbly slower than the model was without sharding (for e.g. the 8gb models that I could load entirely on my GPU). Each layer took a lot more time to evaluate than it took to copy the weights onto the GPU (RTX 2070 super).
> At Walgreens, many pharmacy managers began reporting to a districtwide retail supervisor rather than a supervisor trained as a pharmacist. “It coincided with more pushing of the metrics,” said Dr. Sarah Knolhoff, a Walgreens pharmacist from 2009 to 2022.

But you gotta wonder, as the MBA types have parents suffering through the systems they themselves create if they'll realize that they are their own worst enemies? The irony here is so thick and tasty and deeply, deeply sad.

How could you possibly know that? Do you think businesses have so few problems to deal with that moving off of Cobol should always be the priority, even if it functions and they are managing it?

Not that I want to abolish university degrees for either STEM or humanities but your argument can go about STEM fields too. Engineers, physicists and Mathematicians existed before the students had to be in debt too to learn those things. But to be honest in many STEM fields like particle physics, aerospace engineering (just examples) it is very difficult to practice it without rigorous and formal education.

Addition: Most of great Mathematicians in last two centuries did not graduate with a math degree. That doesn't mean that we should abolish math degrees. People also built cities and beautiful huge buildings before there was a university degrees in architecture and civil engineering. No one will say that we don't want them because of that
> The first order problem with spam calls/sms is you probably opted in to something. Most spam, like it or not, you asked for, and they can almost certainly prove it.

At least in my case, this isn't true. When reporting SMS spam, I've often told the carrier to ask their customer for proof that I opted in (because I didn't). None have - again, because I didn't opt in to it or anything else.

I don't know how true your assertion is among the general population, but my experience may at least be representative of other HN readers. Many of us don't randomly give out our mobile numbers.
Oh. I perceived the parent commenter to simply be saying they were surprised at why they were banned. But 'pushcx explained what happened in detail, and if that explanation is correct (I have no insight into it, other than generally liking 'pushcx, who is not a friend or anything) it's hard to see how they would be confused about what happened.

But I'm just overexplaining myself now. What happened with you and Lobsters is also very interesting (and also yikes, and sorry that happened; I'd be pretty upset if all my HN comments got disowned).
They convert sugars (or sugar-like compounds) into hydrocarbons by catalytic removal of oxygen with hydrogen on ruthenium. It's not into ethanol (normally); they preserve more C-C bonds than that. The hydrocarbons are then modified by joining/cracking as happens in processing of petroleum. They can get aromatics out as well.
At first I thought they would break it by overcharging for it but I was wrong... is llama a good alternative?

i'll make a few points, as a lover of cookbooks:

Based on your post...the key selling point of your book is, YOU. Not the recipes. If it was the recipes - you might not be wondering how to get traction. Why do I say this? As a lover of international/traditional cooking...if there's a book out there, even 1...on a cuisine with low coverage - i'm on it like a fly on shit. I'll just scan the recipes quickly, and if it looks legit....i'll snag pretty much straight away.

Reading the blurb for your book does nothing for me. I need to know who you are...I need to like and invest in you.

As much as it pains me to say it - because i'm not a user of these technologies, absolutely abhor them and think they're evil - but the way books like this get in hands of people - are through viral marketing channels like Shit-tok, instagram, TV foodn networks and so on. The first question i have when looking at your book blurb is "who is Bruno?"

I think you need to work on the YOU part, then the cookbook part afterwords for this to work like you expected :)

So how do you fully socialize a program and balance supply and demand?

Don’t get me wrong, as someone who saw first hand the shit show of the pre ACA, something had to be done.

I was laid off right before the ACA took affect and couldn’t get insurance at any price because of a non life threatening, no treatment needed then or in the future preexisting condition. I was healthy as a horse and had just run my first two half marathons.

COBRA wasn’t an option because the company I was laid off from went out of business. I had a well paying contract job and I could have afforded to pay out of pocket premiums.

I ended up marrying my now wife six months earlier than we had plan to get on her insurance (her idea).

But the challenge is end of life care and you will always have to make cost/benefit trade offs.
You can get two NVIDIA A40 cards with 48GB of memory each, second hand on eBay for 12 000 USD. You can connect them with NVLink to get 96GB effectively.

Of course doctors don’t like it. Insurance companies are the only entities willing to stand up to their cartel. They want to continue collecting monopoly rents without anyone saying boo.

They should do the right thing and if the candidate hit the bar on what was asked, however repetitive, they should get the offer.

As to "not enough data"... how exactly? If there is a list of things to check off that is to be distributed amongst the interviewing team, there should never be an issue. If people are winging it and just happen to ask repetitive questions then everyone asked what they needed to know and signal should be there.

It sounds like Google's process is fundamentally buggy. They should fix that.
It's not, even if you have good insurance -- and almost nobody does these days, EXCEPT the elderly. Sure, we're world-class at a few high-profile things, but you'll note that things we are good at are immensely profitable. Because right now, the stated primary goal of our health system is profit maximization.
Anything can be bloat. Thats not an argument for treating completely different functional roles, tracks, types of people in a university as interchangeable.

You don’t fix engines, or any sophisticated system, by treating its various parts as functionally the same.

Unless that information isn’t available, but universities are openly observable systems.
Judging by the branding this is just an attempt to capitalize on the mindshare around LLM and GPT. Recall about 5-8 years ago they tried to sell the notion of huge cost savings replacing humans with the jeopardy champion and tech executives ate it up for a while.
Maybe because of less physical activity?

Since 2020 I have manually tracked 35093 data points about my life [1]. And the one parameter that correlates most with my sleep time is how many steps I took during the day.

The median number of steps I take during a day is about 9500.

When I look at the sleep time of the following night, on average I slept an additional 9 minutes after a day with 9500 steps or more compared to a day with less than 9500 steps.

The gap increases to 16 minutes when I look at nights where I walked over 12000 steps in the previous day.

To see if that is just correlation or if there is causation at play, I also started to decide to take an additional walk or not by coin flip. So far, I did that 31 times. 16 times the coin decided to take a walk, 21 times it decided not to. On average, I slept 13 minutes longer after the coin decided that I take an additional walk. 31 is a very small N of course. I hope to have a larger sample by the end of next year.

Medicare Advantage is not more of a free market than Traditional Medicare. Both restrict their markets but in different ways.

MA restricts your access to doctors and sets fees. Someone on a Kaiser Permanente Medicare Advantage plan won't be able to go to the Mayo Clinic but the Mayo Clinic and Cedars Sinai do accept Traditional Medicare. In addition, you'll need preauthorization ("Delay, deny, die") from the insurance company for many procedures.

On the other hand, TM sets the fees to what is called Medicare Assignment (and also allows something else called Excess Charges). But any doctor can accept Medicare Assignment. At UCSF, I need a referral for a colonoscopy for which Medicare pays Assignment but then I don't need a preauthorization from Medicare for that.

My elevator argument for Traditional Medicare (A+B+G+D) and against Medicare Advantage (Part C) is:

The problem isn't knowledge of the programming language. The problem is the developer experience not just within the language but the runtime environment it's executed in, as well as the corporate environment where such systems are used.

The developer experience is terrible, it's a completely parallel world that diverged about 25 years ago from what we're used to, and it's not particularly good. Furthermore, it's so obscenely priced that it will be never used for anything new (and forget personal projects), so career-wise it's a dead-end and confines you to only ever work in existing legacy deployments.

The "corporate experience" for the lack of a better word is terrible too. Companies that run this have zero engineering culture (if they did they would've finished their migration off COBOL long ago) and developer positions have about the same amount of respect and political influence as the janitor. There are much better options pretty much anywhere else, so the only remaining people are too mediocre to get those better opportunities, so it's not a good environment to learn from either.

Migrating off COBOL (or any legacy system) is possible - after all, startups have built similar systems from scratch. The problem is that this requires a competent engineering team and you won't get that without a good engineering culture and embracing engineering as one of the key pillars of your business and giving it the resources and respect it deserves.
Edit: Sorry, parent post said "create" tools, not "use". That is less common, and depends on what you consider "creation".

clang has been broken for a while in the last few versions. Many issues were left unfixed and development moved to 17.0.0 when they should have fixed those as point releases for 16.0.x instead (patches were available and not integrated).

In this particular case though, the end processor/native detection seems to be failing and clang feature detection gets armv7l as native (or could just be the default generation option). Looks like a good bug to report, if only we get the good clang folks who will take the time to land a fix.

I have been playing around with zig. My current focus will be on not using broken compiler backends for a while.
Not only Apple does that. Intel and AMD have CPUs with integrated GPUs that do not have their own VRAM and use system memory. Why cannot they be used for LLMs? They don't cost an arm and a leg.
I have no idea how that's the opposite of what I said. Transpilers haven't worked not because of how much or little the replacements are paid, or how well they do their job, but because there's more to moving from one computational ecosystem to another than just the language.
