I think there would be value of such an option, as long as it would be completely forbidden to publish to crates.io with code that only works with those flags.

It could work by replacing any function with type errors (including those caused by type definitions) to panic on use, but otherwise still generate a binary. For type errors it is less useful than for lifetime errors because usually the problems of the former are very local while for the later it they are not.
It would be nice if every application in the world didn't have to hack on support for X number of different almost-identical storage vendors who all decided it would be better to have completely incompatible interfaces.

NFS isn't horrible, though it's limited. OTOH object storage is limited but has some other advantages. So there needs to either be the latter as a standard that can be adopted by all vendors, apps and OSes, or a new standard that fills the gaps of what apps want.
It sounds like somebody assuming a docker build, where everybody’s build will use the same file path. It’s still a very silly restriction, because not everything occurs within docker.
Muslims conquered that land to begin with, so that’s kind of an important bit of context for everything that follows.

And the antipathy in the rest of the Muslim world is mostly about hating Jews. In Bangladesh, where I’m from, people aren’t marching for justice for the Rohingya being genocided by Myanmar—even though Rohingya are closely related to Bangladeshis. But there are huge protests in the streets for Palestinians. What is the explanation for why people would be so much more concerned about a “human rights” issue involving a far away, distantly related people, in comparison to the amount of concern for the human rights issue happening to a closely related people next door? Because it’s not really about “human rights,” it’s about a Muslim solidarity against Jews.

And yet few brands are going to build or run the entire distribution infrastructure themselves. You can buy from NameBrand, allegedly shipped from NameBrand, etc - and it's still distributed through some separate maze of businesses. Amazon is just very visible in being such an intermediary.
How biodiversity in some areas of US will benefit people in Chile?

But global trade is helping them to become richer by selling avocados to americans. Growing an avocado is devastating to local biome, but I bet people would rather destroy it than live in poverty.

I have never seen an edible chestnut tree and really don't care about how many species of them are all over the world.

I'm not talking about antiseptic envelope, it is not related to biodiversity. It is sad that biodiversity is decreasing, but we can live with smaller amount of species on the planet.

Will you fill the difference if there will be 20 instead of 60 species of ash tree?

> Biodiversity does not directly benefit everyone, while global trade does.

Biodiversity is an intrinsic aspect of ecosystem stability. The earth's functioning ecosystem is literally necessary for life on earth. All that "free" value in the form of plants and animals that produce our food, photosynthesizing organisms that produce air, decomposers that produce soil, etc is the result of coevolution of diverse organisms. When that system becomes unstanble or unbalanced then mass extinction follows.

The human economic ecosystem is built on top of a functioning biosphere. You can't just replace what the biosphere provides with industry or trade.
Are you hiring a captain for an extraterrestrial mission or an average programmer who will sit 8 hours a day in a cubicle, working on jira tickets?
100+ upvotes in an hour and this story is falling off the front page already?
One of the problems I've seen constantly, for 10+ years (been working for 20+, interviewing others for approx. 10+) is that there has never been a "baseline" skill level that you could always count on when you got a candidate in front of you. Any given person's programming and problem solving skill level could be absolutely anywhere on the spectrum between 1. "super proficient, fluent in multiple languages, highly structured thinking, clearly articulates a solution, can mentally visualize over a range of 20 orders of magnitude" and 2. "literally has no idea how to solve a problem, program a computer to do it, or even describe coherently what they are thinking". And these two extremes can have the same resume.

Some first level of the hiring funnel (HR, recruiter, or something) screens the candidate by looking at the resume and maybe doing an initial phone screen, and then this person gets dumped on the interviewer, and they 100% could be anywhere on that skill scale. So you always seem to have to start at "how do you turn a computer on?" and "write code that finds a substring in a string." It's really frustrating for the interviewers and I'm sure also insulting to actually good candidates.

I've never been in one of these businesses, but I bet if a hospital interviews a doctor, they can at least count on basic knowledge of anatomy, and if a law firm interviews a lawyer, they can assume the person has read a law book. We have no such guarantees in software.
What you're saying was true for primitive LLMs from a couple years ago, but in my experience, any of the advanced LLMs today (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) have no issue with this. I'm open to changing my mind if you can provide any examples of GPT-4 failing at this task.
Replaced my 17 year old HVAC system that died this year with a heat pump for both heating and cooling last month and am excited to see the savings.

Also replaced our just as old non-working shutters with dual cellular blinds for additional insulation.

One thing I do slightly regret is although Trane / American Standard (they're the same company) is highly rated (according to Consumer Reports) for reliability, if you use a variable speed heat pump and air handler, they use a custom communication protocol (digital instead of analog) that no modern third party thermostats use it, and you have to use Trane thermostats instead.

So far the Trane app works well for manipulating temperature, setting a schedule and holding it like 3rd party hardware and apps, but you're not going to get like HomeKit integration if that's a thing you care about.

Although perhaps they are talking about two different things. Moreover, during Spring and Autumn into the Warring states period Confucius was e.g. changing the conventional usage of terms, e.g. what it meant or standards to be a 君子 (noble/gentleman).

Problem I'm seeing with RAG-like solutions is you're presenting the LLM with some similar word blocks and hoping it covers all your bases, but won't pick up on 2nd order relationships that would be important for a more complete picture. Which isn't a whole lot better than just showing the search results to the user and might actually introduce faulty information. I think we either need a different model type that can serve as the "memory" or consider options like pre-training to ingest the data that come at the cost of needing much larger servers to perform the operation.

It's for sharing and aggregating. Ccache is useful locally, but really shines when combined with Distcc, a distributed compiler. Every host contributes a cache object that other hosts can use, and every host can use the cache object contributed by other hosts. So you don't even have to built it once yourself to benefit from the cache of everyone else. It therefore speeds up multiple hosts/users builds, distributed builds and the dev experience of individuals.

Per dozens of engineers at SpaceX...the biography from Isaacson contains numerous exaggerations and outright fabrications.

Elon Musk's involvement in design decisions was limited to the typical executive level involvement in hardware design, in the sense that he was presented multiple options by the engineers and designers and got to pick which one they went with.

Indeed, with SpaceX it's usually immediately obvious when Musk was involved: does something fail spectacularly in a way it wasn't supposed to? That was Musk, getting involved in something he didn't understand and overriding the engineers and other professionals. (Contrast the first Starship launch this year, which Musk micromanaged, vs the second launch in November in which he had minimal involvement due to being distracted by X and Tesla.)
Is that somehow dumber than thinking it will be fine to extract the corresponding 7000 tons of raw material?
Do they? I tend to see 15 vendors of the same item - all claiming to have sold between zero (!) and NN items and having 5999 available ready to ship. With the added complication of using a crappy package delivery company.
I have heard from others that link posts are somehow downranked on many social media platforms (not just Meta, but especially FB/IG). This is why many people recommend instead text posts without a link, with a callout to a second post containing a "link in comments." This seems common on YouTube community posts also.
Some people have good resumes and can present themselves well. But they can't write very basic code, no matter how much handholding they get.

I'd love to see some head-to-head comparisons of articles in El Pais that you think are more honest than the New York Times (and I fully accept that the NY Times is the "mouthpiece of the establishment".
Just common english slang, bro, dude, whatevers on their nametag or a first name/nickname if they have one; nothing dissimilar to civilian life and I think thats largely the point, even last names are commonly referred to as "slave names". Formal speech is all ranks, "hey chief", "yes petty officer".
Yeah, have worked for/been burned by a few of these types. It can be really demoralizing and sets a bad example for how to be successful. Over time I've decided that how I accomplish things matters just as much, if not more than, what I accomplish, and outrunning your mistakes is a terrible "how."
I'm told that in the early days of the German branch of takeaway.com they would conduct interviews late and invite the interviewee to their after work beer and only hire the person if they thought they would enjoy future beers with them. Obviously only useful to somewhat determine personality but in my experience that is often a better predictor for a good hire than tech skills.
Sam is great, some eggs might've been cracked along the way, but overall, very positive influence on the world.

You could shine a light into most people's lives and find in most cases broken egg shells here & there. Fixating on them at the expense of the bigger picture is a mistake.

Regarding the openai board, the problem imo is that too much weight was given to a nebulous & subjective mission, allowing those sitting to make up ridiculous positions and find them tenable (ie the company going kaput being in line with the mission, like srsly??)

It doesn’t. It also doesn’t negate those accomplishments. The world is a better and a worse place for him. This is humanity.

I've slowly transitioned from FF to Chrome over the past year, for this reason. I still use both, but am trying to prepare myself for a time that comes when FF is no longer a viable primary browser.
> I recommend that you make a plan for what you want to learn about the candidate, e.g. “are they good at acquiring new skills?” or “do they share the same values as the team?” and then structure the interview around that.

Generally what I want to learn about a candidate is "are they good at understanding plain-English requirements, can talk through their thought process as they problem solve, convert that solution into something that resembles working software, and we can have a decent conversation about what was built." As it turns out, whiteboard-type algorithms and system design questions are very good at this.

Asking if someone keeps up with tech news (and call it a red flag if they don't) is just a way to keep your candidates within a certain social bubble. Which, honestly, is preferable if you're a < 50 person startup. But this doesn't scale. Plenty of software devs at IBM, Amazon, etc are just clocking in and out of their shifts and do a fine job of it. Not everyone needs to make career advancement in the tech industry their life.

OpenAI going kaput might indeed be the best for humanity as a whole, only time will tell.

I’ve also done 100s of interviews, mostly for mid-senior positions and generally cv-reading and a non-quiz intro interview talking about various technologies and experiences work great.

That said, I disagree about lack of any exercises. I think practical but not too time-consuming take-home assignments are nice and not too annoying (as long as they’re not the first step! That would be wasting candidates’ time.), and I’ve rejected tons of candidates based on the results of those, which is different to the author’s experience.

Overall, I recommend people to really think about who they’re looking for, and heavily adjust their process to that. There’s no silver bullet, and the right process will vary greatly depending both on the seniority and the skillset you’re looking for.

As far as not being able to produce machine code without even a single byte error of consequence, true, it's questionable whether that's possible. But I'm not sure that is proven impossible with LLMs? So I think it's worth testing it.

Why should the rest of us subsidize your tax addiction? This reasoning goes both ways.

And if you're hiring for the latter, don't give the candidate the impression you're looking for the former.
