Here's one:

It uses GitHub's devcontainer plugin. There's a devcontainer config at .devcontainer/devcontainer.json, which says to use the image specified by .ci/Dockerfile.

So when I'm developing on any Linux system, I can run

$ docker build .ci/Dockerfile -t my-container
$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/project -w /project my-container

And have a shell with my LaTeX environment all ready to go.

I can also create a GitHub codespace from the devcontainer config. I'm excited to explore more of the possibilities with devcontainers. I've included Dockerfiles with all my projects for quite a while now, it's cool to have some kind of standard written down that tooling can be written for.

I think the GitHub YAML a slight improvement over the old Jenkins configs it replaced:

https://github.com/ahepp/resume/commit/a144ee06b868ae867b287...

For one, there's no out-of-band Jenkins UI I need to configure the pipeline in. The syntax is probably a slight improvement over Jenkins. I'm also happy to use opaque plugins for certain things, like uploading to S3.
> My github gist proves that all of these techniques found in automatic1111 work with NLP models

No it doesn't, your gist just shows that it's possible to implement, which I'm not disputing. And even then, your example with GPT-2 has the comment "GPT2 is very tempermental with this technique" and requires a temperature of 20 to behave which is an accommodation that can never be used in a real application.

If you can create test cases and demos where prompt weighting in a LLM results in a distinct observable improvement as it does with diffusion models, that would be a different story. I'd love to be proven wrong but your gist doesn't do it.
I found the report that documents the investigation into this bullying. After reading bits of it, I’m shocked that this kind of behavior was allowed to persist for so long. It was clear that everyone knew about the bad behavior for a long time.

I think the disingenuity is with you. Here is a quote from the current Israeli President Isaac Herzog: “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true"

I asked you for an example of Israel and the US going to the UNSC first and only after that launching an excursion into Gaza. You respond with a complaint about Lebanon moving troops within its own borders. What was the expectation from the UNSC there? How does that relate to my question?
+1 for Fastmail. I just switched over a few weeks ago, after my previous host announced it would be increasing the price of my hosted Exchange plan. They have a solid web client (to replace Outlook Web Access), & I use EM Client for desktop & mobile (iOS client is in beta but still perfect for my needs).

If you just disturb the regolith in patterns, would that be visible? Then all we'd need is a few million roombas.
My intuition is at least in the beginning, but with enough individual data won't you have a model that can generalize pretty well over similar cultures? Maybe moreso for the sheep, just speculating... who knows!
Uh Hamas and Iran have been in bed together for decades: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/10/09/middleeast/hamas-iran-isr...

That you don’t know this seems to indicate you might know less about this conflict than you believe you do. Your further contentions that the US could magically wave a wand and make Hamas disappear confirm it.
Why are you worried about them training on your prompts? What kind of information are sending them that makes the tradeoff of having the world's information accessible through natural language not worth it?
With the disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice:

- Game mechanics generally can't be copyrighted. If you had a platform for playing "Prakhar's Game" that had the exact same rules as Quoridor, you'd be in the clear.

- Specific pieces of art related to the game would definitely be copyrighted. Copying the exact box art of some commercially-released version of Quoridor would be an issue.

- I think the issue to be concerned about would be whether you can use the name (which would be trademarked, not copyrighted). A quick search turned up a page from the US Patent and Trademark Office [1] showing that it's still held by Gigamic. I'd probably look for sources on that 1997 "release to the world" to see if you can find more details; looking around Gigamic's site might also turn up something.

EDIT: BGA definitely isn't just for kid's games, incidentally. Something like Ark Nova or Agricola is a long ways from Battleship or Candy Land or what not.

Helion’s design doesn’t require constant power, it’s not based on heating water into steam to turn a turbine. Rather, their reactor is the turbine, the sequential plasma ring collision fusion reactions generate a magnetic field that drives a current in wires coiled around the reactor.

It’s rather ingenious and is the first reactor-based power source that generates electricity directly from the reaction itself, rather than from heating water into steam. I hope they’re able to achieve breakeven in their next prototype or two.
Working in the industry around 20 years now. It has become painfully obvious that businesses are out of ideas. Speaking in simple terms. Product managers never really stick around long enough to learn enough about a market or a product to bring any valuable insights or new ideas to the table. Spend 1 year to push the "MVP" then it's off to the next one with a salary increase.

Used to be a product guy that was 20 years + with a firm would have lots of ideas and hammering the development teams to ship feature after feature. I just don't see that anymore in the places I lend a hand.
My takeaway is just the last paragraph, it sounds like Cap'n Proto is a footgun and I should use anything else.
That’s definitely the advice I give to friends and family. Waiting around for the government to solve layoffs is not a viable strategy to keep you and your family out of the soup kitchen.

Publicly, though, I’m happy to advocate for layoffs to end or at least for companies to stop treating them like a fun tool.
> this is because NVidia changed their pricing strategy to decouple it from that

Because neither AMD nor Intel can come withing striking distance of Nvidia's flagships, and seeing how their silicone flies off the shelves, they have also adjusted their pricing to match their relative performance to Nvidia.
He didn't murder anyone. Stop trolling.
And being the do the minimum person gets you put in the laid off/RIF category. Interestingly, I met up with an old coworker yesterday. We were discussing her new job, she's a senior developer, and comp/pay came up. I was shocked to see her as a promoter of 'pay equity' and she mentioned advocating for it across the team. This is someone who is a talented programmer and could command way more comp than her "peers". I personally believe in the idea of 10x programmer, because I have personally worked with them. They don't have to be super senior either. I worked with a guy who pretty much wrote the entire backend of our web server and knew the entire networking stack. Like a network engineer and Java/JVM performance God in one. He was 4 years out of school. The guy was worth his weight in gold for this company. Pretty sure he was comped way outside of the band for that reason.
Exactly. Dangerous technology. Reminds me of dystopian sci-fi like inception or minority report.

First thing that came to my mind was an airport check. “Oh, you want to enter this country? Just use this device for a few minutes, please”

How about courts and testimony?

This tech will be used against you faster than you will recognize. Later on one will ask, why people let it happen.
But you have to keep in mind that it's heavily subsidized by china and is more than likely just burning money

MtG saw a huge increase in demand while people were mandated to stay at home. Now that the mandates are over, the demand is likely about to implode as people return to previous activities.
You do what you gotta do. The only way to learn really how valuable (in a capitalist sense) you are is by getting offers (ideally multiple) elsewhere. I accepted a counter offer once and stayed 2 more years. Ultimately I left for the same reasons, I was hitting a ceiling and they were not budging. I increased my comp 50% and reduced my responsibilities another 50% with the next move.
Is a big loss here laser efficiency and cooling issues?
The basic idea is discussed in the 1991 paper from Barry Boehm, who also developed the spiral model. This is probably a good start, since it’s an easy read and fairly short.
Some newer papers tried to research this topic further using empirical data, but n is usually pretty small and data is usually derived from interviews, rather than direct data from projects.
I don’t think there are any recent books on software development risks, usually it’s just a sub chapter in software engineering books
I highly recommend his autobiography. It gives some detail on his time growing up picking cotton, among many other interesting anecdotes.
Unbelievable! Ten months have passed and the uninformed and clueless are still in denial. Let me spell it out for you - do you remember what the COVID shutdowns did to main street businesses like retail and restaurants? If this cluster-fck of tax legislation isn’t withdrawn or reformed the same fate is awaiting tech startups, generally, and software startups specifically! UNDERSTAND!!!
I'm sure among the first applications of this technology will be to scan user thoughts for evidence of CSAM.
> Tesla’s so-called “self driving” technology works fine — as long as there’s a human behind the wheel, alert at all times.

It really is 'assisted driving' i.e a human has to be in the loop.
What is the alternative? Hide the research papers in a cabinet and never talk about it? How long would it be before another team achieves the same result? Trying to keep it under wraps would only increase the chance of this technology being abused, but now unbeknownst to the general public.

Basically, are you proposing to ban some fields of research because the result can be abused? Anything can be abused. From the social care system to scientific breakthroughs. What the society should do is to control the abuse, not stop the progress. Not even because of ethics, where the opinions diverge, but because stopping the progress is virtually impossible.
Very much indeed!
What are you trying to ask here? You seem to have identified the key points of the argument successfully so I am just not sure what the point of making it was besides saying you disagree? Can you outline your reasons for framing this statement as a question?

Hardly comparable. IE was as influential as it was due to its massive market share (95% at its peak). Even now Safari is only 13% on desktop and 25% on mobile. Chrome is at 61% and 65% respectively.

Chrome is the new IE because it can set de-facto standards due to its market size.

Because ‘Works best with Chrome’ is the new ‘Works best with IE’. It’s such a monoculture that sites don’t bother to test on anything else.

Because Google takes a leaf from Microsoft’s playbook and degrades performance of its platforms on other browsers, e.g. Firefox and YouTube.

Because Google have a fundamental conflict of interest between allowing an open web browser and making money from advertising. See the upcoming changes to block ad blockers and initiatives like FLoC. The more Google need to show growth and squeeze out more profit, the tighter things will get locked up.

Saying Safari is the new IE is just saying it doesn’t support all the features you’d like, while ignoring what made IE IE, which was its overwhelming market power.
No mind control, he said what people wanted to hear after losing WWI

Mind control was how Yuri helped the USSR win the Cold war in Red Alert 2 (joke ;)
I hear you. I was trying to counter the all too common "because of money".

Art lovers should be happy that this London exhibition happens. Many will pay to see it. Because it presents a pile of significant works rarely seen otherwise. [That art gained high value because at least the artists have been celebrated by critics and collectors. Not only because of art circuit shenanigans. Some of that but not only.]

For your sculpture donation: Was the issue the donation? Or the money that allowed amassing this collection? Or was the city clueless about what to do with it? Or corruption: Was this park chosen because that donor has connections and insisted on it or because a greedy city hopes this prime location will bring more donations?

There's only so far that "just the money" goes.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, the SFMOMA museum was turned from 3rd rate to world class by one massive art donation from one wealthy donor. On Stanford campus there are two instances of massive donations from wealthy donors: the Rodin sculpture collection and the Anderson Collection (and its dedicated building). They take a lot of space - and very skillfully done I think - and art lovers can't really complain about the money itself.
Just think a virus, you know they're not going to be correctly sanitizing their inputs.
It's more complicated than that. Becoming a go-to person may get you promoted, if the company has an adequate value system. No company is perfect, but they vary a lot and you need to find companies where they at least try to promote the right people.
The only time it is rewarding to be the go-to-person is when your job title is Dad.
I disagree and think it's time we all moved on from kneejerk hating anything either a. new or b. misunderstood. That includes things like AI, containers and Kubernetes.

Kubernetes started in a rough shape but it has been chiseled over the years to be boring tech that just works and provides a layer of abstraction to build abstractions on top of.

I've been working with Kubernetes for the past 6 years. It's fine. It does its job. Let's all move on from the outrage.
I've been there and I know it's true.

However, becoming an expert on something is still valuable as long as that something has value outside the company (ie: you can advertise that kind of expertise in an interview).

So becoming an expert in something is valuable and if you realize you've become the "load-bearing employee that never gets promoted or otherwise has company mobility" then it's strong signal that you need to start replying to recruiters.
It all goes right to Hamas so, no?

I think users have "app fatigue" with the hassle of installing so many apps. I for one prefer the web for many sites/apps like Reddit, Quora, and similar.

For me the most annoying thing to deal with is constantly dismissing the "view in app / continue to web" popup that tries to push the app install for those sites. I wish my preference for web would stick for these (looking at you, Reddit and Quora).
Sure, but I know that there have been various proposals for a better number. Different companies just couldn't decide on which proposal they like the best.

This feels like a self fulfilling thing. You get laid off, so you start following these rules and you are even more likely to get laid off.

I can honestly say I not only don’t follow these rules, I think I follow almost their direct opposite, and despite many around me being laid off I never have been even when voluntary redundancy was being offered and applying for it, I have more than enough money to walk away from a job if I want to.

If you find every workplace so hateful that you must follow these rules have you considered that the problem might actually be you?
I’m interested to hear what value HN folks have in book reviews from strangers. I thought the value in something like Goodreads would be to create a community of people you know IRL to share what you read. I don’t see myself having much in common with a bunch of people I don’t know.
Despite the cynicism here, this worked for me at Microsoft. My role was managing incidents, which I expanded to involve code review (best way to stop an incident is to find it in code review). Fit random development into spare time between developing fixes

Working on incidents gets you involved with everything. Promoted annually for four years before promo growth couldn't compete with external offer

At shitty companies, yes. Look around, companies exist where good work is rewarded. A shitty manager will not notice whether you slack off or finish something diligently. Good managers do notice and reward, when the company is not a shithole.
> a high-flux isotropic neutron source intended for things that have nothing at all to do with power generation

We're still characterising how non-stellar fusion plasmas behave. It's valuable to be able to create that on demand. Also, this research is critical to modelling nuclear weapons without live tests.
I'm a legit user of Amazon. My account is probably over 20 years old. I've ordered tons and tons of products. I've never reviewed anything, however I have received products containing "gift certificates" promising me a $10 reward for leaving a fake review (of the product I just purchased). How does Amazon stop me from accepting this bribe?
> we may be too often missing the important part of being a decent human being.

"decent human being" is too vague and easily manipulated term, so it could be better to follow hard metrics and data.

H-bombs, the entire thing they do is look at the expansion of plasma that is heated by a thermonuclear reaction. The most prominent application of expansion of a plasma heated by a thermonuclear reaction is the explosion of thermonuclear weapons.
Look up the history of biotechnology, and the intentional way that it has been treated and one might reasonably say suppressed for some examples of how this has been managed previously.
Yes, sometimes you can just decide, "we're not gonna research that today."

Prestigeous Law Firm Cancels On-campus Recruiting at Harvard Law School [pdf]
In what sense does your quote confirm that Israel is engaging in collective punishment? Israel believes it is rooting out Hamas and that there is an embedded civilian component to its operation (which is unequivocally true). This is the problem with taking three sentences out of someone’s mouth and deciding they support an idea as broad as “collective punishment.” Perhaps you should understand the context of his words before you use them?

In any event, you asked for one time Israel brought a complaint to the UN and I provided it. Please don’t alter the goalposts you yourself set.

What was the UN’s response? Was there an intervention? A censure of Hezbollah or Lebanon? An investigation?

Agreed. Most of those I see promoted have been those who have limited practical skills, but are very good at networking, coordinating, and delegating.

They are the go-to person for managing projects, but not doing any of the lower level work. Just my experience.
Steam handles this problem fairly well, IMO.

They show a graph of positive/negative reviews over time, making review bombing stand out.

If Valve identifies the anomaly as being off-topic they can even mark it as such an exclude the reviews from affecting the overall review scores. Users who don't like this can even disable the exclusion and get the "raw" review score.

NIF is thinly veiled fusion weapons test research, nothing more. There's no real intention for advances in energy generation research. If it happens it's more an accident or part of the 'cover'.
