I see that you said github repo, but my life experience has been that those "awesome" style repos are committed to once and then ignore all pull requests or issues going forward. Thus, I think the audience would be better served by AlternativeTo or one of its ilk, which offers a licensing filter on their lists (e.g. https://alternativeto.net/software/github/?license=opensourc... )

But, a quick search for alternative coughed up a few results, which exhibit the behavior I described https://github.com/RunaCapital/awesome-oss-alternatives#awes... https://github.com/btw-so/open-source-alternatives?tab=readm...

One may also find more via topic exploration, e.g. https://github.com/topics/alternatives
Don't touch umbrella setups. Don't go inside IR35.

Businesses either hire contractors for a liquid and expendable workforce...

Or they hire high skill people who take on more liability and charge for it accordingly.

Be in the second group. They don't use umbrella setups.
I honestly don't understand this latency obsession for LLMs. You are loading millions of parameters sequentially for each matrix. The access pattern is perfectly predictable. I just ran llama.cpp in with profiling and 99.9% of the time is spent in matrix multiplication. This shocked me, honestly, because I genuinely thought that there is going to be much more variety.
Part 4 is the shortest section of the video, and he skips over some of the most influential RPGs. He mentions some of the earlier ones (pre-1990) but then basically says "There's too much to talk about here so I'm going to skip it". I don't think he mentioned a single RPG for SNES other (maybe?) Final Fantasy VI

This isn't even fair as a representation of RPG development and consumption in the West. Between ~1987 and 1997 almost all the commercially successful RPGs for consoles (in the West even) were "JRPGs". Overlooking the influence of these on all the later Western RPGs he does cover misses a big chunk of RPG history even as it focuses on the west.
Seeing the topology I had a flashback to college and the MasPar [1] we were using in ‘92!

It is true at some level. If that's how you want to present yourself.

You can be a plumber or a safe cracker. A person who does, or a person that knows.

The latter pays better day rates.
Out of curiosity, why not buy/subscribe to the commercial version then, if this is the clear path for how to support the primary developers of the software?
Remember, with GPT-4 around its alot easier to work with a language or technology you only have minimal exposure to. It's like having a Principal Engineer around 24/7 that you can ask questions to unblock you. So dive right in. You can also use it to practice the interview before the actual interview.
Much of the restricted depth of this nature is a consequence of deliberate obfuscation or neglect by the people who are involved in the doing, such as trade secrets, or simply choosing not to write about or share the actual things that impact their craft.

You can easily accumulate depth of knowledge from reading in areas that are well documented.
He asked us, "Be you angels?" And we said nay. We are but men, write!
That doesn't necessarily contradict what GP said...
I remember reading about how the TSA was very unsuccessful in catching errors, because they faced a large number of true negatives day in and day out. The alarms barely ever went off, and when they did, it was usually a false positive. The natural human tendency in that situation is to optimize / reduce energy expenditure by letting your guard down and paying less attention.

In security, "covert tests" that replicate rare events (like attempting to sneak a gun through a checkpoint) more frequently, seem to increase the chances of success in detecting real threats [0]. If only we could do the same for our legal system.

The first line of defense if somebody accuses the author of cultural appropriation is to simply reply that it is his own culture. It's odd to presume that he has any special requirement to justify his use of a word that he, as a New Zealander, has as much right to as anybody else.
Absent much visibility into the MAGA crowd, I suspect most view it as very corporatist vs. populist whether they articulate it as such or not.
I've been using it for 5+ years! So much functionality for a free tool
Aramco pays nearly $100B in dividends as profits tumble
I wonder what the Russian military has to say about publicly available map data while they are at war. Like, I wonder if it's hard to keep the data set accurate if there are military interests to have that exact type of data hidden especially for instance near the border with Ukraine. OSM allows community editing right, so how does OSM deal with that too?
If you are charging a battery and space isn't an issue then all you want is maximum solar kwh per day and more panels (and inverters etc) wins.

However, the duck curve means many grid scale solar instillation still use East/West solar tracking to collect power when it's more valuable ie mornings and evenings. It's a great example where optimizing for profit results in an counterintuitive result.
Also your number one skill is communication. If you're not liked, your services are less valuable.

Number two skill is negotiating.

The technical stuff starts much further down the list.
I use the duckdb connector as an intermediary for parquet in Dbeaver - it works quite well.

I just create views like:

Create or replace view parqtable as select * from /pathtoparquet/*.parquet;
How well do AI jobs pay in San Francisco? The answer may surprise you
I found the yearly take home for outside IR35 contracts is around 220 * day rate, inside is 200. I did find recently that the contract rates have gone down a lot, and the full time salaries increased - so I'm back perm after about 8 years, and am better off having done so. I found jobserve.co.uk good for contract roles though

Why assume instead of reading the article?

Can you find examples older than 100 years old that show a thing crossed out to mean "don't do this thing?" And how close are they to this representation? That's what the author was trying to find out.
This is the right answer.
How can you go back to a non-typed world after Rust I don't know.

I use html-node which has a typed submodule for even greater strictness.
I just build some valid html, make a string and write that to the output directory and get on with my life. Eg:
https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate/

Templates... Rust functions

Flow control... Rust match expression

Abstraction... Rust modules

Html validation... Rust compiler

I like to think that in writing the html-node crate, Vidhan taught the compiler to speak html!

Ohh, I wish it was only a factor of five. It would even be acceptable!

Discord the Electron app uses 1.2 GB of RAM.

Ripcord the compiled client uses about 30 MB of RAM.

That's a factor of over 42 times.
Work with fun people who aren't jerks. Arrogance and ego are counterproductive and wastes of energy. Look for other people who are curious because the incurious are just there for a paycheck. The end.
If your principal is like GPT-4, I'd consider this a red flag.

Your comment is an advanced version of "fake it till you make it". That's another red flag when I'm hiring disgustingly highly paid consultants.
It can be a file system.

I’ve written my own FUSE that uses Rabin Chunking and stores the data (and meta) in S3. The C++/AWS SDK FUSE is connected to a Go SMB server that runs locally on my Mac and works with (local) TimeMachine.

I use Wasabi for cost and speed reasons.
Yes, essentially. However, the 'pinky-promisers' are large, well-funded, geographically distributed organizations that have strong incentives, both in terms of reputation and operations, to keep their promise
Hemingway once said just write the truest sentence you can think of and I think he was right. Good writing and good essays are truthful in a way that wouldn't be expected from commercial and marketing copy. But to write truthfully one must know what is true and this is surprisingly hard.
I swear I donated to them via paypal once long ago, but I think they've since removed all those donation links in favor of the EE.

Presumably any profits they make from merch goes into their pockets, so you could buy something from there that's in the price range you want to donate I suppose https://www.redbubble.com/people/DBeaverCorp/shop
I found inside IR35 can be much more lucrative. It's big companies that have more money, can't hire enough perms, and just need stuff done
IBM TOS, probably most reliable what I seen. For example my first leased line have TOS 99.9% (14 hours of downtime per month), and for most desktops and smartphones I don't seen any TOS at all (only guaranteed change if I found evidence of manufacturer defect within guarantee term, usually 1-3 years, depend on manufacturer).

But leased line and smartphones are not regulated in my country, and as I said before, controllers for smart buildings are regulated (sure, not all, but some functions are very strictly regulated, for example because of this exists huge proposal of second hand equipment, because near impossible to install it into other place after left spare because of upgrade).
It's depressing to see that the average day rate in London is still at around 500 pounds. I made as much in my first contract 7 years ago. Sky was offering 650 pounds a day for your average frontend react role.

I thought the times were good, but even then the old timers were talking about the good old days with some nostalgia.
I don't know if it looks different, or what it looks different from. To me, it looks like it was designed in 1999 (which it may have been).
I thought about this in the exact same way when there was a lot of talk about end to end learning in the early days. LLMs made me feel unsure too but i am still not conviced.
With a limited company generating £100k/year in revenue, I’m curious how much a contractor would earn after salary tax? (assuming no admin/accounting costs)
What we really need is an EU-style common market for North America. Free trade, free movement of people, single currency, single regulatory environment.

Such an entity could compete with any country on earth, from competing for cheap manufacturing wages and costs, (as Mexico is doing quite successfully right now) to competing on quality.

English, Spanish, and French are three of the most widely-spoken languages, So most people on earth could find someplace which felt at home for them linguistically, or even if they didn't emigrate here, they would find vendors and customer service people who spoke their language.

It would be phenomenally defensible: protected by two oceans and the arctic, it would have no hostile nations on any border, like India, China, Russia, and the EU do. And therefore it would be a region where people feel safe to invest their money.

And its currency would be the world's reserve currency. It would have by far the best natural advantages of any economic union in history. If only we could persuade our fellow Americans that Mexicans aren't our enemies, and that we won't all just drop dead if we adopt single-payer health care system.
> Writing about the best essay implies there is such a thing, which pseudo-intellectuals will dismiss as reductive, though it follows necessarily from the possibility of one essay being better than another.

Not to be a pseudo-intellectual, but this confuses partial orderings and total orderings. It makes for a fun discussion, but I hope Paul would agree that there's obviously no "best essay", real or hypothetical.
I run a company that provides Minecraft server hosting for businesses (i.e. after school programs, summer camps, Code Ninjas, E-Sports leagues etc) and produces fun and educational events using Minecraft (i.e. 10-15 elementary school kids in an event space at a library learning physics by building roller coasters in the game).

We've switched entirely over to Paper for everything because it works so much better than vanilla, and it also enables us to put it behind a Velocity proxy (Minecraft Java Application layer proxy also developed by the same group that develops Paper) for better scalability, more secure infrastructure, and some cool features like enabling any version of Java edition to join the same server (mad props to the ViaVersion & ViaBackwards plugin teams that make this possible!). This is impossible to do with Vanilla. We do all of our own content development creating the activities the kids do during the events, and the plugin ecosystem that someone else mentioned is hugely helpful for this. I especially want to call out how awesome the Geyser and Floodgate plugins are — they make it possible for Java and Bedrock clients to play together in the same world, which makes our customers lives so much easier.

We're hiring part time / contract developers, event hosts, and technical support personnel. If this sounds interesting, please reach out. My contact info is in my profile.
Insightful read; thank you for sharing.
Would love to know how
this is of course the ideal, but it is somewhat not to the point; as vidar says, the 'they' who are fingerprinting you have only a limited intersection with the 'they' who are doing awesome things with webgl like shadertoy or https://mitxela.com/projects/model-viewer, which doesn't even have google analytics

a somewhat bigger problem is that to a very significant extent the actual owners of the machines are microsoft, google, and apple, not the users; they make the rules, and the users are lucky if the owners allow their code to run at all. under those circumstances, blocking fingerprinting is practically quite difficult, because the 'they' who want to fingerprint you and the 'they' who make the rules about what code run on your machine are the same people, not two opposing groups

an additional problem is that an increasing part of the web is run by criminal elements like harvey weinstein and the rest of the mpaa, who will block you if they can detect you attempting to protect your privacy from them by blocking fingerprinting, even if apple decides it would be a good idea; cloudflare and google are perhaps the most prominent enforcers here, perhaps somewhat reluctantly
The vowels are different. So, although they look the same, the words wouldn't sound the same.
In what way do the rich lose money here?

The big property owners will get subsidies to repurpose the now useless buildings. Corporate chain businesses will simply close down and continue making money elsewhere. Corporate office tenants will negotiate lower leases for smaller spaces.

Meanwhile, small businesses close and never come back. Downtown areas get abandoned and taken over by homeless. Property taxes of remaining residents will likely go up to make up for shortfalls.

The rich and the big corporations are going to be fine no matter how this shakes out. It's the normal people who are likely to come out worse off.
Edit: I can't read. If only my client knew!

£220/day?!

I've not paid a developer less than 600/day since like 2015 and that is outside London too.

Some people are being taken for mugs.
DataGrip does look visually better than Dbeaver, but I've found Dbeaver has much better performance.

What is the best car? Some cars are real stinkers. It's not hard to find cars that are better than Zastava Yugo in every way. For most cars you can find other cars that are in the same class, but just better. Clearly, a comparison between cars can be made. Car reviewers make this their job.

But from the existence of bad and mediocre cars it doesn't follow that there is such a thing as a "best car". How large is your family? Do you want to tow a boat? Do you like to go fast on curvy roads? Do you care more about acceleration or range? How tall are your rear passengers?

There are good essays and there are bad essays. Some essays, perhaps, can be considered the very best in their category. But you can't rank order essays across categories, just like you can't argue that a Ford F150 is objectively better or worse than a Mazda Miata.

(And if this makes me a small-minded pseudo-intellectual so be it.)
Nobody cares about FLOPs anymore when it comes to transformer based architectures and considering the transformer architecture is applicable to almost any usecase beyond LLMs, memory bandwidth and memory capacity are the most important metrics. Grayskull has enough 16bit float performance to outrun its memory bandwidth even with 1 ternary bit quantization.
No - take your day rate, multiply by 220. That's what you'd expect to make a year
I've heard that in "the south" they don't care how close you get when you don't get too rich, but in the north they don't care how rich you get when you don't get too close.
Yup, SWT is a wrapper for actual native widgets, similar to wxWidgets. Some widgets are custom though, like the horrendously ugly tab widgets, which might be what the other commenter is reacting to. And the spacing and alignment usually doesn't look great in most SWT-based apps I've seen, for some reason.
A simple-ish workaround here if you want to use email recovery;

1. Use a custom domain for your emails with Proton

2. Set an address @ that domain as the recovery address

3. If you need to recover, simply update your MX records to point elsewhere, and begin the recovery process from another provider temporarily.
This is true; one doesn't need a university affiliation to do research in many fields. In Einstein's case, he famously worked as a patent clerk during his day job while working on his research during his spare time. However, there is a difference between pursuing research as a unpaid side activity versus being paid to do research; that is the sentiment I wanted to express with my local park vs. NBA analogy. While arguably pursuing research as a hobby provides a great deal of freedom (e.g., no publishing or "impact" demands from management because there are no managers), the problem is making a living that is sufficient for paying for shelter, food, and other necessities typically requires 40 or more hours per week of work, which relegates research to nights and weekends, which I don't believe is enough time to engage in deep work, though it's not impossible and there are many people who have done this, Einstein included (https://www.dpma.de/english/our_office/publications/mileston... and https://www.ige.ch/en/about-us/the-history-of-the-ipi/einste...). It just requires a job that is not too intellectually demanding. On the flipside, working as a paid researcher means you don't have to worry about trying to carve out free time to do your research. However, "he who pays the piper calls the tune" has become the mantra of research institutions these days; the days of pure curiosity-driven research, whether in academia or in industry (pre-divestiture Bell Labs and Bob Taylor-era Xerox PARC), are long past. These are the tradeoffs of being a researcher these days, and I've come to know this the hard way.
Moore's Law has been entirely coopted by the media and, as such, lost all meaning and predictive power, which is what made it famous in the first place. Once upon a time it was a useful tool to plan programs with.

So outside of popular culture, it is dead...
Isn’t it pretty strange to write about what makes a great essay without mentioning a single actual essay except Charles Darwin’s natural selection paper from 1844?
You have to ask why they feel the need to spend on contractors.

Also if you're inside IR35 then you're an employee for all intents and purposes but without the perks of a perm position.

Be a business, not an employee. If you look like an employee, regardless of the legal layout, you'll be remunerated like one.

Be a business. They make more money.
I put a mask on, and pay in cash at a public phone. How would you trace me?
> I can’t help but be very nervous about the fact that we are still unclear on what exactly happened.

It seems pretty clear from their initial report (which largely corroborates the whistleblower a few months ago), no?

The bolts were not reinstalled after they were removed to perform a QA fix.

If you mean beyond that, why weren't the bolts reinstalled, nothing too shocking there. The system of record between Boeing and their subcontractors, as well as their procedures to pass off work between companies and crews, is not sufficient to prevent lapses in workmanship like this.

The good news is, all of these door plug bolts are confirmed to be properly installed ;) They just grounded them all to do that. Now...what _other_ bolts are missing, well that's anybody's guess.
There's not many.

The Rivest, Shamir, and Wagner time lock algorithm is an example of one that can't be parallelized.

In theory the NSA and Google can't brute force it much faster than you can on a laptop.
The Arduino strategy seems to be similar to the Raspberry one - as people who grew up tinkering with Arduinos go into industry and are placed in charge of decisions, an upmarket edition of Arduino is a natural pick.
How is that difficult? Anything that is stored to recognise a user on two different devices/sites is fingerprinting.
650 a day is still common. It just isn't as visible because the government injected fear in to the market.
Proton very clearly states they will happily comply with law enforcement requests, IF it comes from the country they operate in.
On a roof it's not worth it, you can even install panels facing the wrong way and get useful power out of em compared to retail electricity rates.

However, at grid scale a few percent difference in cost or output can have dramatic impact on profitability so there's a lot of seemingly trivial optimizations going on. Some instills go so far as to aim some non tracking panels slightly to the east or west because slightly more valuable kwh beats slightly more kwh.
I don't think this is anything novel about the ukraine conflict. Any conflict within the last decade or so would have dealt with the same issues.
I hate it when someone takes scientific research and willingly distort its meaning for whatever reason.

The job of these magistrates were not to police “fashion”, or what people wore, but to police ostentation — two very different things.

To reduce this to fashion significantly changes the interpretation of social rules of the period.
I don't know anyone has properly analyzed this, nor how robust such methods are if one is trying to cover it up. Also, I doubt anyone has analyzed the scenario where the warm-started model is then extensively trained for trillions of token (possibly with a cyclical LR) particularly in Chinese - the latent spaces are not perfectly aligned Chinese/English and I'd expect that to change it a lot. (The point of this would be that 'cheating' by warm-starting it should let you avoid a lot of training instabilities and issues early in training, and may get you better quality at the end.)
