that's the effect of covid. some places are bouncing back.

i spent some time in vienna recently. i had a tech meetup event every day of the week. some days i had to choose between two or three events on the same day. many were sponsored with food and drinks. and they were all on meetup.com. the other alternative was eventbrite, and that had a mere fraction of the events compared to meetup.
> But if you thought for more than 1 second, if they themselves could make this much profit why would they be trying to convince other people to do it.

Often times this stuff is scams that stopped working, so the scammers pivot to selling the non-working scam to others.

There was a YouTube video a couple years ago that exposed the scam of a couple of twins that were selling SEO'd bottom-of-the-barrel ghostwritten books on Amazon. Instead of using generative AI, they used the cheapest possible online ghostwriters. Apparently Amazon got wise and banned them, so they pivoted to selling their "system."

Edit: here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biYciU1uiUw "Contrepreneurs: The Mikkelsen Twins"
"due to higher expenses due to collision damage"

I wonder if that means insurance, frequency of collisions, average damage in a collision, or cost to repair disparity
I’m not sure what Slack engineers do all day. It’s a 50-50 shot of audio (either mic or speakers) working during huddles on Mac.
Perhaps a stack of these could be useful as a volumetric display?
Many of these libraries cannot have meaningful vulnerabilities. What‘s a possible vulnerability in lodash that can be exploited without already being able to inject code?

Furthermore, any vulnerability in a dependency could also exist in code written by myself or a team member. And then never get fixed or even found.
> what humans will eventually use

There is emerging consensus that the F-35 is the last manned fighter America will produce.
Baffled, lol. Micro plastics, hormones, preservatives, the capitalization of food production (food "product"). What is sold in major American grocery stores barely classifies as food.

Americans are being poisoned by the food we eat, how it's produced, packaged, distributed.

The only people baffled by it are those old enough that they were raised on actual food and don't understand what has happened the last few decades.
Are you kidding me? Transparent displays when scaled sufficiently will allow AR glasses that don't suck. Complex tasks will have AR overlays telling people exactly what to do and giving feedback on task performance in real time. Even better, all the VR side effects due to refresh rate/fps/etc will be non-issues because you'll be looking at the real world.
Listening to the ATC recording, I feel like the real problem is that they didn't explicitly say "hold short" (which means "wait right before the runway on the taxiway"), like they do in the US. If you say that phrase, it's very clear where you're supposed to be.

If they want you on the runway, they say "line up and wait"
Thanks! Always happy to hear kind words ^^
> Diagnosis rates in the U.S. rose in 2019 to 107.8 cases per 100,000 people under 50, up 12.8% from 95.6 in 2000, federal data show. A study in BMJ Oncology last year reported a sharp global rise in cancers in people under 50, with the highest rates in North America, Australia and Western Europe.

This is a relatively small increase over ~25 years. How much of it is due to cases like the highlighted one (which is tragic, but clearly driven by symptoms), vs increased screening?

The US "standard" age for colonoscopy, for example, was recently dropped from 50 to 45...without really good evidence (essentially, just "updated models") [1]. This inevitably leads to higher rates of false positives in younger people. Over-treatment is a real risk in places like the US, where there are financial incentives to treat.

Agreed. The implication that a lack of algorithms testing during software engineering interviews has much of anything to do with successful innovation, as opposed to the infinitude of other factors that go into commercializing a product, is unpersuasive.

And do these leetcode style questions test innovation at all? I don't think they're asking candidates to invent new algorithms.
I'd like to think that it's all due to them canceling The Peripheral, but it's probably more complicated than that...
I understand the sentiment, but those email signup begs are to some extent caused by and a direct response to Google's attempts to capture traffic, which is what this article is discussing.

This sounds interesting. Would you be so kind as to explain how to set this up or link to an example?

I do have experience with plain kotlin but googling yielded not many results on how to integrate all these components you mentioned into a basic MPA. So - blog post encouraged :)

Did you not deal with the debacle of js changing imports how imports work? That was absolutely miserable and js libraries have a very short half life indeed. JavaScript's culture of small, relatively short lived libraries makes maintaining a JS app particularly miserable for many (see the comments affirming this misery). It is not anything close to the same.
That’s not shame, that’s risk. Corporations don’t have the capacity for shame, it’s the major thing people gate about corporations in the first place…
A big empty stretch of wall space would be as awkward (or more) than a large black monolith in my opinion, but if the screen could switch off backlighting (but not color) in its pixels and basically turn into an unlit canvas that displays art when idle, that could be really cool.
I'm comparing the cost of a GPU with 48GB VRAM to the cost of an Apple Silicon machine with at least 48GB of Unified Memory, yes. (The ASi machine having 96GB of memory instead is just because it's still cheaper than the card, so why not.)

A normal PC with 96GB of regular RAM wouldn't allow you to use that RAM for GPU workloads, at least not with a dedicated GPU.

You're missing the point, however, I'll entertain it.

Most services just offer a paid email. Proton offers all of its services for an extremely low monthly price. Not to mention their security protocols are among the best.

Everyone uses email. Most use a VPN (everyone should) and almost everyone utilizes some form of cloud storage.

I started off purchasing to use their VPN and now actively use all 3.
There is good reason to only allow 250 twists - you need to recalibrate after that many twists, and this is expensive.

I don't know how many twists you are allowed, 250 seems a bit low. People can die if calibration procedures are not followed. If the manufacture says 250 twists, then you follow that 250 or you will lose millions in court.
The hate came from it being pre installed on massively underpowered computers. The majority of users came to vista with a new PC and it just ruined the experience.

I think a lot of non-tech events like D&D/running/board games/birdwatching/crafts/etc. now have left Meetup or never were there. I see a lot of these types of events promoted on Instagram and sometimes Facebook, because there's a bigger audience there. There are still some on my local Meetup, though.

I also sometimes see Zoom events, especially tech and business-oriented ones, where I frankly wonder if the live videoconferencing format is ideal or just an imitation of what people used to do in person. It's possible that podcasts and YouTube have eaten a lot of this market if people aren't going to get together in person.
Okay, then what questions did you give in interview?
A few thoughts,
First off neat dream! I only had a dream about watching a fish tank .
Now onto your concept,
I recall a video put out by open AI where or two separate AIs played a game against each other but there was no scoring done by multiple humans and the AI were not based on LLMs.
After pondering your concept for a while I did come up with the idea of a Pictionary like Game where to Dalle –ISH AIs our task with drawing complex images based on a verbal description and are judged by multiple peoples guessing.

TLDR; you could have two AI using different LLMs compete in a whose line is it anyways type competition, where they are both given a topic and required to tell a joke which multiple humans can vote on how funny it is.

PS, You might also consider using Limited language models or LI LMs as a sort of weight class System. This would involve restricting the number of weights or vectors used in training in order to offer an equal playing field were those with limited hardware funding are not dominated by giant corporate models, a.k.a. Heavyweights!
If knowledge evaporates, maybe it wasn’t useful knowledge after all. Likewise, if a niche disappears, it wasn’t a good niche. Good long term strategy in terms of developing your career technically comes down to identifying knowledge and niches that aren’t going away any time soon. A person can have more or less insight when it comes to this.

The more I’ve learned over the years about health has now lead me down the path to practice periods of fasting.

Anyone trying to eat a perfect Whole Foods diet may also still consume the occasional garbage food. I feel like fasting is a missing tool in the toolbox we don’t hear about enough.

Doing periods of 2 to 5 day fasts just seems to kind of reset things. Give organs a break that would otherwise never have a break. Many benefits to speak of..

But excited to see what the science shows in the coming decades.

There just seems to be something inherently natural feeling about feast and fast. Human ancestors were probably not eating 3 good size meals every single day forever without EVER giving there systems a break. The body seems to benefit from having a break from the constant toxin ingestion.

Exactly. There are untold 10's to 100's of millions of critical infrastructure systems that cannot be upgraded containing insecure and horrible SSH implementations. Defense-in-depth by layers of other security measures and isolation permits them to be reasonably secure for their use prior to lifecycle replacement where possible.

Furthermore, no one should place remote access servers on the internet and should instead place them on a private, internal network behind an infrastructure VPN-jumpbox such as OpenVPN or Wireguard.

Only a few extremist developers in control of all of their own software and who don't have to interact with anything in the real world can maintain the idealistic purity to forever run only the latest version of everything.

all of those projects are much more magical, particularly the live* flavor of hypermedia driven applications

these days it looks like ChatGPT generates and runs code behind the scenes for math questions (it used to be pretty bad at these kinds of math questions. you can click the little "view analysis" button to see the code it's running.

when I ask about this question it generates and runs Python behind the scenes, thus the incorrect answer.
Why jump to conclusions like that? The simplest answer is that there will be less product development.
It's got no dialog, no characters, no real scenes. It's a summary of a plot, not a story.

The AI that generates 1000 games eventually gets bought by a company

That seems like only a temporary phenomenon. If we've got AI that can generate any games that people actually want to play then we don't need game companies at all. In the long run I don't see any company being able to build a moat around AI. It's a cat-and-mouse game at best!
I'd urge you to read the actual post. This isn't greenwashing this is try to pragmatically say what can I do in my day job that will move the needle in someway. Particularly if you work for a large corporate (large corporates have a massive impact) in the knowledge economy sector (where IT accounts for 36-45% of emissions). Don't assume the 2-4% of IT emissions applies to all - its very unevenly distributed.

Do organs benefit from having a break?
I would be curious the age range for the book in question or the type. I am bifurcating books with illustrations and novels (pure text), not sure if thats the best terms but I hope it gets the idea across.

Even pre-AI lots of childrens book at the lower age range/illustration category are basically low effort junk, this is generally true for most/all books for new children. They use illustrations bought wholesales and copy and paste text into them.
With that many queries, do you utilize the business tier or just the pro?

BigHead is a character from Silicon Valley who doesn't actually know how to do anything, does basically zero work, and manages to still fail upwards. This is describing devs that are sitting around and doing an hour of work a day and aren't actually achieving anything but have somehow managed to not get fired for low performance because their manager isn't paying attention.
Are you sure we're reaching that point? The market has certainly cooled but tech jobs are still available. I do think that many new grads will have to adjust their expectations from high 6 figure jobs in FAANGs to normal-but-still-fine compensation in tier 3-4 companies.

I would also argue that it's hard to predict what the market looks like 4 years into the future. That's a reality people should acknowledge when they start a CS degree, etc.

LLMs don't talk to each other - humans use LLMs to talk to other humans
> Things are getting better yet sentiment is falling. Does that mean things aren’t getting better or does it mean expectations are rising?

i'm not sure the two can actually be decoupled. why do people work? as a means to fulfill their needs and desires. how do you measure if a person's needs and desires are being fulfilled?

you can try to ground economic measurements in something like Maslow's hierarchy, but you can't escape that a person's sentiment is real. give a person shelter, but in such a way that they feel it could be taken away from them at any moment (e.g. "living paycheck-to-paycheck"), and you've only sort of fulfilled their base needs. give a person the exact same shelter but in such a way that they feel secure in it, and it's hard to argue that's not meaningfully better.

so whatever macro measurements you're using, if your goal is for them to reflect anything real to the individual, they ought to have some correlation to sentiment. "household savings" and "job openings" often do proxy the difference between being secure v.s. insecure in your housing. but, speaking to the article, worries you'll see captured and reinforced by the news such as "the other half of the country wants to take away my healthcare" or "the other half of the country wants to obsolete my coal/oil/manufacturing job" proxy these same feelings of in/security, but are likely not captured by any formal measurement... except "sentiment". so if these sentiments aren't proxied by your "things are getting better" measurement, then yes, it would mean that things aren't getting as better as your measurement claims.
I used to run a decent size event that would get about 70-80 people.

Part of me wants to try an bring it back, but I'm not sure I have the engergy or enthusiasm for it, and I'm just not sure there is the demand any more.

It feels like there are a couple of factors at play:

1) Working from home has become the norm for many, there are fewer people working in offices in town that would be able to just pop in after work. Suddenly you have to "commute" for the event when you've been at home all day. It's much more of a special effort.

2) It feels like the enthusiasm and excitement has gone out of tech. This may be UK specific, or perhaps it's just me, but being part of the tech industry doesn't feel so shiny as it once did. There doesn't seem to be that excitement about it. There is so much more scepticism/cynisism within the industry.

3) Covid in general just seemed to really change people's habits. It's taken real effort to get back into the habit of seeing old friends in person. I feel like a couple of years of restrictions and lockdowns kind of broke a whole generation of adults and it's taking us a lot longer to rebuild those habits than I ever thought it would.
You mean the VPN? Because we all use cloud storage these days.
LuaJIT 3.0's new garbage collector design
> why is this news now?

1. The public inquiry has begun digging into what actually happened.

2. An absolutely excellent TV drama has brought out in excruciating detail the misery inflicted on subpostmasters, and the unfairness of the processes.

The returned CBE is a consequence of the drama and the resulting public interest, not a cause.

I knew that this nonsense was going on, in a sort of subliminal way; I knew about the miscarriages of justice, from the MSM. The drama has - well - dramatized it. The drama's producer has expressed astonishment at the impact her show has made, but I'm not astonished. It's a really good drama. It pulls no punches. It must have been really hard to make, given that many of the people criticized are very powerful and rich, and that criticizing the rich and powerful can land you with very large bills to defend libel suits.
just because they were combining chemicals to try to make an insecticide doesn't mean the chemical in and of itself is bad.

However between the mass microplastics and a lot of recent food additive additions, and mass sugar, im sure there's something interesting going on.

So lots of weirdness, tl;dr we need to invest a fuckton of money into research to find out the actual answer.
>Your job is NOT safe.

Maybe your job(s).

But there are certainly companies out there that actually care about the welfare of their employees. Usually family owned and such.

That's where I choose to work and they have always taken care of my needs and listened to me.

I never really understood why people have such a desire to work for these big companies that don't care about you. I guess it's just different strokes...
