The problem with this argument is that it implies "you're special".

And you likely have experience, domain knowledge, product knowledge, customer knowledge and so on, so I'd argue you Are special.

But then you leave, and need to be replaced. Since I'm hiring from a pool where no-one has this special, I may as well hire from overseas. Its cheaper.

Equally, when you work remotely your special is invisible. The way you keep the customer happy is invisible. The way you enable your team (assuming your special is passed on) is invisible.

Of course there are very smart people, with lots of experience, and lots of special of their own. Finding them is hard (of course) but the reward for finding them is significant.

FAANG companies are skipping the labor broker, and building subsidiaries offshore. Those offices pay local rates, have as-strict hiring policies, and are growing.

So your point us well made- existing employees have value. But companies deal with churn. And we don't need 300 people onshore with your special skills. We can offshore 200 posts, and wait for them to come up to speed.

Being a remote worker makes this process easier.
Are you leaving Carta for Pulley or other platforms? We've been long time Carta customers at Rootly.
To be honest, the handful of years you might live longer is not worth the cost of not being able to enjoy a wood fire.
Imagine if women behaved this way toward men. Before making the obvious snarky remarks, step back and think about how unpleasant that would be, as well as distracting from doing actual work, degrading (they aren't taking you seriously as a professional, just as a f-k), etc.
This kind of behavior, as questionable as it is, would be totally fine if Apple didn't also employ a variety of technical measures to ensure that it's impossible to install software from outside their store.

Consider the Mac App Store: there are lots of restrictions, but no one really cares, because you can just...not use it.
Especially after they made everything cloud-first, making saving my damn documents to my local drive a pain in the ass.
We don't have an Indian CIO but the trend is generally true. Indian managers hire more Indians.
I must be still confused. The startup employee knows what their strike price was and here Carta was offering to hook them up with a buyer for those shares at price $X (which I presume is/was different than the strike price of the employee).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding? But that doesn't seem like they're sharing cap table data with anyone. They've found a buyer for the employee's shares at some price. Is it implied that they shared the cap table info with that buyer (i.e. the third party investor)?
Sony has this like forever. And in my opinion, it works really well. It only trigger when I use my wet hand to hold it or when I wash it(you know, sony smartphone is well known for overheat). It never trigger for other reason for the entire period I am using it.
Does Germany actually have any significant strike capability in the region? The German military seems to have atrophied into more of a government jobs program than something which is actually combat effective. They've started rebuilding in response to Russian aggression but that process will take years.
Yes it has, actually: https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples. It's right in the main repo. NB, I haven't tried this, I'm using llama.cpp with a non-K-quant quantization on my MBP.
This is a good move, but still an inadequate response to what originally happened. It’s dogging deep questions about who had access to what data and just how bad the security controls were around startups’ sensitive information. Shutting down this bit of the business doesn’t put folks at ease that their information is still safe with Carta.

The Carta CEO has botched the response here multiple times now and this latest pass just comes across as an oops sorry we got caught, we won’t do that anymore response… but still dodging the hard questions on how data was being managed.
I hate to be the one to inform you that manufacturing issues exist and cables can be damaged through regular use.

Water bridging a connection and the connector being broken are indistinguishable to the device.
I think something like dataframes suffers from having a name that isn't obscure enough. You read "dataframes" and think those are two words you know, so you should understand what it is.

If they'd called them flurzles you wouldn't feel like you should understand if it's not something you work with.
ChatGPT-4 is starting to do this now all of the sudden, and it is also annoyingly returning erroneous information.
In fairness, the title of the page is “Dataframes for the new Era”. The “Get Started” link below the title links to a document that points to the GitHub page, which explains what the library is about to people with data analysis backgrounds: https://github.com/pola-rs/polars
Not super on topic because this is all immature and not integrated with one another yet, but there is a scaled-out rust data-frames-on-arrow implementation called ballista that could maybe? form the backend of a polars scale out approach: https://github.com/apache/arrow-ballista

There were extremely cheap homes available just outside of Austin just a few years ago, it didn’t really help with the homeless problem. I’m not homeless, but it seems to me that homeless people WANT to be in the heart of the city. If you offer them housing way outside the city center will they really want to spend time there? Or will they just go back downtown to be where the action is?
This is a feature of newer usb-c pd chipsets.

See, e.g., https://www.ti.com/product/TPS25751 in the features section.

Apple has historically used TI chipsets for their USB power controllers. The feature likely comes from this.
I attached myself to pulse oximetry and ECG which measured my oxygen saturation and my pulse rate while using my phones camera to take my pulse rate at the same time and they both had the same measurement. The monitor I used was for medical procedures and was pretty much as accurate as you can get for non-invasive monitoring.

Then I tried to use the phone camera to take my cat’s pulse rate, but he didn’t like keeping his foot still. So I haven’t managed to use this technology on pets yet…
But I think it must be fairly accurate.
From the OP on Reddit at the time:

Good points. The problem is, there are over 1000 people coming and going every day, the site has a BYOD strategy and the IT team is 4 people. We tried implementing 802.1X for LAN devices but it was soo much overhead that we dropped that.

The thing of this case is that the person was only able to place the Pi there because he had a key to the network closet. That's game over no matter how many security protocols you implement

We did change the server passwords though
You can do this with ELIZA[1]. Since the benefit is you don't need to submit the question.

Why couldn't this be handled remotely and be handled as part of a subscription to the game?
Right now: voice-bot telephony. So, immediately have a twilio number that you can call/text and talk to a GPT much like I do with the ChatGPT app interface. This rapidly could couple into actions API for doordash amazon etc…so Twilio would be handling all this scalable AI-Telephony data. They have the infrastructure and engineering for it.

Long term: own the infrastructure for infinitely scaling call centers for any task you would need to do over sms/gsm voice

Amazing take, right there. Can I subscribe to your newsletter?
Very much appreciate your writing on the topic-- it gave me the practical context I was missing while trying to spin up with automerge and CRDTs in general.

I ended up using y.js in my personal react native notes app and it works wonderfully.
Our Hyundai Palisade has been the most reliable vehicle we have ever owned. We’ve literally had zero issues with it in nearly 4 years of ownership.

By contrast, ever other vehicle we’ve owned as had some sort of annoying issue. Mostly still mechanically reliable, just annoying.
One of the things at Rootly I started doing is helping everyone identify what are the little habits you can do daily that equate to "making the bed". This helps find the wins that help kick start momentum.

For me as the CEO, I try to Slack Huddle at least 2 new people I haven't spoken to in a long time just to see how they are doing a day. I often do this when I am walking my dog or commuting to work. This always gets me in a productive groove.
Was this on iOS or Mac OS? I was unable to reproduce on Mac OS Safari with 1Blocker installed and don't have any iOS devices on hand.
Do you have instructions and RAM requirements for running that model? Llama.cpp?
Do you have to use that displaylink software with terrible framerate and latency compared to native?

I would assume that users requesting to be forgotten is a fairly infrequent occurrence compared to just about any other operation.
UX suggestion: allow dropping on an already-played piece. If the tile you are dropping comes from the tray, put the already-played piece into the tray. If the tile was in the grid, swap the locations of the pieces.
I admit to being guilty of the "YT?" or "Hi" type messages, but it's for a reason: the person may be presenting to a client and shared their screen instead of their window.

I've been on too many Zooms where the presenter's Slack pops up saying, "John, we have a call with <company name> about <topic> at 3:00. Can you join?"

Multiple times, this information was probably sensitive. I'd rather avoid that by waiting until I get a response.
Congrats on the launch, we'll have to get you integrated with Rootly :). We can enable incident responders to fetch metrics while they respond to incidents in Slack!
Why are there so many low-brow dismissal comments here? Read the docs if you don't know what it is. If you don't know what they mean by "data frames", either move on because this just isn't for you, or do the tiniest possible amount of research into what that means. It's a very common concept that I'm sure every single person who frequents this site is perfectly capable of understanding on their own.
> My understanding is that it's about 20% longer for ships coming from Asia. That means a 20% reduction in annual capacity for those ships/shipping companies, which is pretty massive.

Not to be a total nit but thought it worth pointing out that 20% longer transit time for a particular transit route likely does not directly translate to a 20% reduction in annual capacity as port delays for on/offloading and other factors also determine annual capacity and they can be extremely variable as well.
Leetcode is not superficial when nearly all companies are using leetcode as a barrier to entry these days. Many of us with 10+ years of experience did not need to practice leetcode to get hired originally, but many would fail miserably today due to the time constraint and necessity to socialize/speak the problem while solving it in 45 min. Some practice problems took me all day at first, but after a while it became a skill of quickly identifying the type of data structure to use and solving it. It's great practice.

As for LLMs, it's probably the best thing to learn right now, especially by building something. I personally believe it will lead to an explosion in potential jobs. It's hard to describe but imagine a software engineer learning how to create a rest api for the first time after doing soap. And then integrating various apis to harness saas products, cloud deployments, etc back in the 2000s.

Then again I also talk to an ex-googler I met on Hacker News who built an LLM app and is now spending most of his time selling his saas product because he can't find a job either. That's a very positive go-getter attitude.
Google Docs is now also a roach motel for DOCX files. It is apparently no longer possible to export as DOCX. I am rather disappointed, but not surprised. I have become quite skilled and experienced with Google Docs and Sheets, but frankly I'd prefer, for reasons of compatibility and interoperability, to author stuff in Microsoft Word instead.
I feel like the only time I get to grow is during a downturn. Everyone stops focusing on fundamentals when the cash is flowing and just want to ship whatever gets them to the next round.
It shouldn't be. Treat the network as public, require credentials for any access whether it comes from inside or outside.

>It gives a standard salutation and signs off with “Thank you, <bot name>.”

I thought this was a mistake implying the bot was thanking itself as a way of signing off, but finally I realized it's probably supposed be a format like the end of a letter similar to "best wishes, topherclay".
I don't think they're meaningless; they have a few benefits:

1) He doesn't have an ax to grind / an LLM to pimp out, so he's relatively even-handed

2) He uses the same (secret) test data for each model, so his testing is resistant to cherry-picking/finetuning on tests

3) He likes weirdo role-play prompting, so he has a very good sense of the edges of refusal and alignment tuning

4) He picks up stuff well before it hits the only other fair testing I know of, the chat arena

5) I think asking stuff in German is at worst neutral, and at best useful for testing capacity in edge cases.

Practically speaking, his 'preferred' non-giant models, Nous-Capybara-34B and Mixtral both are excellent in comparison with some of the others he looks at, and good recommendations.

That said, I'd like to see a test suite that GPT-4 fails at, or struggles at, at least. And, it would save him a lot of time if he could get something automated together, it's clearly a lot of effort to hand test all those models.
Making the ports waterproof would be pretty easy, since they can do that on iPhones. But what about the ventilation areas? That's much trickier, I'd think. Making a waterproof iPad should be trivial since it has the same ports as an iPhone.
Not every company has had layoffs. Fewer have had as many as Unity. Fewer still have had this many layoffs combined with their reputation rightfully dragged through the mud...and their CEO stepped down too right?
I'm so sick of this debate. I really don't get it. You all want less useful software to be made by less software developers being paid less for their work? What's the game plan here?

Most of the missiles and other weapons are being smuggled in relatively small boats. It simply isn't practical to stop and search most of them. In theory the US and other nations could declare a blockade and simply sink any vessel that enters Yemeni territorial waters, but that would be a major escalation and require a lot more naval forces to be deployed
I think this con is very real:

> Related tables and indexes are not necessarily stored together, meaning typical operations such as joins and evaluating foreign keys or even simple index lookups might incur an excessive number of internal network hops. The relatively strong transactional guarantees that involve additional locks and coordination can also become a drag on performance.

You handwaved this away saying you can just store an entire table on a single node, but that defeats many of the benefits of these sharded SQL databases.

This seems like fake outrage at a restriction that exists only in a hypothetical that nobody on earth would ever implement if for no other reason than the fact that it would be incredibly hard and complicated.

Hey I just wanted to thank you, your comment reminded me to plug in my car (which, like watering, doesn't have to be done at a certain time but does have to happen before bed).

If I hadn't plugged it in my wife would have been stranded tomorrow after she got where she was going.
My mildly-informed opinion is that none of the four bolts were installed in the door plug. Otherwise it doesn't seem possible that the door could move up. I guess we will find out in the future as the NTSB said in the briefing that they will be able to tell if there were any bolts installed in the door.
How it works (on page 52):

"The TPS25751 supports liquid detection by measuring the voltage level across the SBU pins of the Type-C connector. When a short occurs across the SBU pins to another Type-C pin(s), the TPS25751 takes action to protect the the Type-C port by disabling the power paths and notifies the embedded controller when applicable. Once liquid has been detected, the TPS25751 continuously monitors the SBU voltage. During the SBU voltage monitoring, if the liquid/short is no longer present the TPS25751 takes action to return to normal operation."

In other words, it's not actually detecting "liquids" but more of any conductive short. Non-conductive liquids, like oils and many other petroleum products, won't be detected.
I'm perfectly fine with a 20+ year old Dell computer. It suits (most of) my

Admittedly, some websites are simply too slow but I don't often visit those,

Though, I can't honestly claim to be (intentionally) downsizing or "going

I feel that any corporation which goes rogue deserves to be dissolved, and the people who are responsible should be punished.

Serving the public good should be one of the responsibilities of a corporate charter. If we're not collectively better because a corporation exists, it needs to go.

If we grant Corporations rights, they should also have commensurate responsibilities.

I'm sorry, what world do you live in? As a server, women were extremely crass and inappropriate with me all of the time and it wasn't nice at all for me. I am also not the type to be that kind of guy so it was very jarring for me to experience.
I'm still running one of these too. It's been a great machine. Heavy daily use for nearly 10 years!

I dropped it maybe 4 years in, and bent the right-rear USB port out of square. Which sucked a bit, but then about 3 years ago, the battery swelled, so I got that replaced and they gave me a new top case as part of it. Which meant the USB port worked again, and my worn-through keycap legends were replaced with brand new ones too!

It cost the best part of $5000 in 2014. So that's now down to a touch over $10 a week over its lifetime. I'm hoping the next one does this well.

Complex operations on very large datasets can take multiple minutes in pandas. Polars is supposed to reduce that to a few seconds.

Since a lot of people use pandas to explore and experiment with datasets, having your workflow speed limited to a few operations an hour is hard to defend. That’s where the value proposition of polars and similar solutions lie IMO.
A lot of people said the same things about DRM and many other predictions that turned out to be true.
