The capitalization "Wwiii" threw me for a loop; because every word in the title is capitalized, it didn't occur to me that this was a proper noun, let alone an abbreviation.

Round About Four Dimensions
From my own experience as very early employee, I know how it feels, to have them slot in more leads and managers above you and step by step losing the mechanisms, that enabled you to be very effective early on, when you just got things done. Later every step needs to go through some slotted in manager position, making sure you don't work on something "wrong", no matter how much your early ideas and contributions enablef the company to rise in the first place.

I wonder if this is what is behind years old stale issues of gitlab, especially regarding Gitlab CI. From the outside you get the impression, that they completely lost ability to build great things, since they do not seem to care to fix years old bugs that still come up again and again.

Sure, you could argue such people are needed only at the early stages of a company, and counterproductive when the company gets bigger. But I don't buy that. Why then are big companies asking all the time: "Oh, where's our internal startup spirit? How can we bring it back?" Right after firing the people who encapsulated that spirit, for being "hard to manage".
Interested if local RLHF is actually viable; can you get meaningful steering from 1k feedback points on a narrow task? I feel that annotation count is achievable with a single dedicated annotator making a few comments per minute (though tedious), 10k would be a week of work so achievable for a very dedicated hobbyist, and 100k seems out of reach for a hobby project.

Say for simple conversation usecases (eg customer support for a specific product, interactive fiction, things like that without deep technical knowledge).

I was also wondering if it’s possible to do such RLHF for SD running locally.

That’s the sad part. Once you personally encounter this, as i also have, though not as a founder, you cant help but notice it everywhere and question everything. Like the irl The Thing
Mine is indeed quite rare; I'd put money on you never having heard of it because the average doctor barely has. The thing is I know tons of people with some rare condition or other; collectively it seems rare conditions are common. I've personally seen some truly heinous conditions affect children; far worse than what I went through. Certainly there are no givens, to borrow another's HN comment - kids are like a reverse lottery ticket.

Yes, I'd say that it's up to each individual to determine that, and it seems that more and more are deciding that they are not.
Yes, location is everything. I live in NJ in the United States. Public schools here are all over the place, housing prices in towns with good school districts is remarkably higher than those with poor ones. Sadly we live in a town with a poor one.

You actually quoted that they are very open about their main reason for paying local rates: they want to be competitive as a business, and if for the same amount of money they can hire more good employees, there is no reason not to do this:).

> Your only job is to compensate people fairly for the role based on their abilities

So it's about definition of fairness. You think it should be some universal measure regardless of location, they think it is a good market rate. And job markets in each country even after COVID are still different, that's why a "fair" amount differs across locations.

One more important consideration here is local laws regarding taxation and employment. People in EU get less than in the US, but generally it is much more difficult and expensive to fire them as an example.
Would it be fair if a person with employment-at-will contract who can be fired tomorrow with zero severance and has 14 days of vacation had the same salary as the person who has 30 days of paid vacation and minimum severance or notice period of 6 months?

It's bad anywhere were you would need control f or need SEO. Otherwise the main issue is performance and load times. In an app like this you don't need SEO and search is built in presumably. So if performance is fixed it looks quite compelling to drop the seperate web version. You would have to test load times vs. the current web implementation though. I think flutter on web currently makes sense for <1% of websites but this may be one of them.

This annoys me too, that government agencies provide free content for big tech / social media giants, who mix it with ads, refuse to show it to anonymous folks.

I'd be pretty happy to see some kind of law mandating that they have to host their own content, and publish news / alerts via RSS or some equivalent - and if social media / big tech want to scrape and republish that, fine, but they shouldn't get privileged access to it.

If nothing else, they should have a "press pool" equivalent, where content goes to several providers at once and never exclusively to one platform.

Most interview loops aren't just 4-6 hours, though. A lot of times the virtual on-sites are 5+ hours alone, and then you still usually have 2-4 stages of scattered interviews before you even get there. It's also not an efficient way to figure out if both sides are a "good fit" because you're basically doing a whirlwind tour of video chats with people you most likely won't work with. Even worse, the entire interview process itself can take over a month or two depending on the company, making it hard to stay engaged the entire period, especially if you're interviewing for more than one place (which I assume most job-seekers are).

128-sample buffers are already too large. To compare, the nRF24 has a max buffer of 32 bytes. However, even in your 128 samples, 16bit/48kHz example, latency is a bit better. It will take 1000/48000 * 128 ms to collect the 128 samples, or ~2.66ms. This amounts to 16*128 bits or 2k bits of information that the transmitter will have to send over. At the nRF24 2mbps rate, another ~1ms will be needed to send the buffer over. I'm not sure why you'd think that this time needs to be doubled at the receiver. Even if the nRF24 receiver started moving the buffer after it was fully received, it does so over a 10MHz serial connection, so that would be at most another 0.2ms, for a total of <4ms. For 16-sample buffers and 24bit/48kHz, the end-to-end latency is ~0.6ms.
5-6 hours is about right on the low end, but on the high end you double the hours interviewing and add up to 30-40 hours of work for the take homework. It varies a lot. The average seem to be around the 12-20 hours with homework or 5-10 without.

Personally I still prefer the version with a take home project, even if longer, as I don't like performative programming.

From the summary of "Old Number One", these are maybe 3 of the top 6 things that I think I learned by osmosis from managers early in my career. The other big ones were humility/thoughtfulness, honesty, and grace under pressure. (Perhaps the original lecture addresses those, as well.)

I don't know the research on this (and would be hesitant to believe anything out of the business press about management). I only have anecdata, intuition, and speculation.

I'm not perfect at any of these, but they seem to be a really good guide.

Note that not everyone has picked up the same influences in the past, so they might not have seen all of these, and they might've learned a lot of other ideas.

For examples of other influences (not just managers, but execs including startups): Many seem to prioritize projecting confidence, over everything else. Others seem wired to persuade, to doing what they want or to having a positive impression of them, at all costs. Others seem to think they must assert authority, first and foremost.

The difference in past experiences, and the reality of industry conventions in practice, means you sometimes have to explain something that seems obvious to you.

One time I failed to communicate well, I was characterizing to a startup CEO how I'd run a forthcoming engineering team, and I added something at the end, "and they'll be my people". I intended it as shorthand for a style of conscientiously looking after their needs, and fostering a culture of loyalty to the team/project/company. Of course that was ambiguous, especially in a business context, where aggressive self-interest is the most likely explanation for any behavior. Later, I realized that he was looking to be the leader of more of a lifestyle company, with the entire company his people in a somewhat different sense (which was an influence he'd seen in his own career). So I'd maybe sounded like I was saying I'd silo off a fiefdom of loyalists to me rather than to him or the company, shape part of the company in my image, or otherwise get between him and the people.

Scrolling through instagram, you get exposed to a lot of "opportunities".

Anyway, if someone is ever selling you an opportunity that claims to be "passive income" that requires very little work, you need to ask yourself why they'd be selling this to you, instead of simply doing more of it themselves.
I am not aware of an AWS outage in their 15-16 years of existence, that an architecture, built according to the recommended best practices, of distribution across availability zones and regions, would not be able to withstand. I am willing to be proven wrong. Can you provide one example?

Of course, these come with increased cost, but I am thinking web retail on a large scale, or airline companies, where for example a downtime of a few hours will easily wipe out any savings made by relying on a local data center. It might not be the solution for a smaller company.

Humans are social animals, and evolution has conditioned us to reap significant happiness and wellness rewards from our offspring.

I can't speak for anyone besides myself, but my anecdote is: I was a DINK (Dual-Income; No Kids) for a long time. Both the wife and I earned well. I thought I didn't want kids (I didn't not want kids either). Wife got preggers, she quit her job to be a SAHM. This cut our household income in half. We have to live on a strict budget now, but, given the option, I would never want more money and fewer kids. I want many more kids.

> All of that is obviously bullshit if you spend 45 seconds thinking about reality.

> Obviously there is an infinite number of different calls to police that can justify an aggressive, armed, SWAT response to someone previously unknown to law enforcement.

People are really watching too many action movies. There are essentially no scenarios that justify responding to a residential area using essentially military gear. The obvious thing to do is first confirm and assess the situation, no assault rifles needed.

The biggest irony is that in the situations where police could have actually used heavy gear to save lifes (Uvalde, note it didn't need to be the initial response either), they rather waited outside not risk any injuries to themselves. Just goes to show they just want to play tough guy in situations with little risk.

It's unlikely police get confronted with guns in the US too; we just have 350 million people, extremely authoritarian police culture, and a corporate news that jumps on the chance to report every instance.

I would wager way more citizens are killed by police (rightfully or not) than police are killed by citizens.
Tried using it on tablet some time ago. Felt handicapped comparing to Nova Launcher, some useful stuff was locked behind premium.

I was a big fan of my RM2, but found the move to the subscription service a couple years ago to be off putting. Sure, I can turn off WiFi, or just use the network to ssh into it, but it felt less than great. I recently got a Supernote to replace it and so far love it. The company seems a bit more open and less likely to try to push me to some kind of subscription/cloud thing. They promote the “works great offline, no subscriptions” stuff right up front. Plus their pens are great - the one I got feels like a real pen.

Society is already structured to handle a population where approximately 50% of adults cannot read beyond the 6th grade level. For all the hemming and hawing and throwing money at education, it might be the best we ever get. I'd venture that our society would continue to operate just fine if that number went up to 75% of the population, considering the pareto rule about the percentage of workers who are actually productive and so on.

Interesting in regards to ROS2; I'd not heard of it. It sounds like a type of RTOS or library? I'm not sure if I can use it; my devices are bare metal currently. I am using DroneCAN because it is #1: A bus. #2: Differential signaling. #3: plug+play with an ecosystem. It's a great way to set up decoupled systems, where the flight controller isn't doing all the IO.

I should note that my perspective subtly clashes with the designers of both MavLINK and DroneCAN: think these protocols should operate as you'd read a hardware datasheet: It should be easy to implement in any language by referencing a byte-aligned table, and have explicit instructions. Because, it's just bytes down the wire. The DroneCAN creators, and it sounds like MavLINK as well consider it something where you should rely on an official library. The Get/Set API is a hot mess? It doesn't matter if you expect no one to implement it because the expectation is to use the official library. You will also note that DroneCAN (and maybe mavlink? Not sure) devices have poor or no protocol documentation, which is astounding to me.

And again, all the best lies have some elements of truth. Partner margins are low (this is generally good - they’re middlemen/distributors). Nvidia is a hard company to work with. Those are true statements. They’re just also not why nvidia went under - and the partner relationship is not entirely one-sided either.

Partners don’t mention the parts where nvidia write big MDF checks or helps them manage release of their stockpiles and trickle out supply so partners don’t have to write down big piles of cards cards they intended to sell to miners etc. And partners do sell direct to miners, unlike nvidia. They made great margins during 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 until the music stopped, and they won’t mention that part either. The phrase “10x profit year” has been discussed, in relation to evga choosing to leave on a high note. And based on the numbers I can find from (eg) TUL corp, which is a public, near-100% gpu based company (they own powercolor)… this is roughly accurate.

But again, gamers mostly haven’t advanced in media literacy much past “if it’s on GN it’s true/objectively correct”, even when Steve himself says that they can’t verify some parts of it and to take it with a grain of salt. They’re certainly not going to make an intuitive leap for the green man. And partners know that and play to that.

“mean old nvidia forcing us to take delivery of our contracted orders if we want to buy new stuff”, for example. Etc. the partners play it up for media constantly. https://www.techspot.com/news/76103-nvidia-putting-squeeze-a...
