You can use an ORM and not explode the number of queries to infinity.

I’ve never seen it in the wild, so I get the blanket ban. In theory though you COULD contain ORM usage behind an intentional data access interface.

I can only really speak for Rails from my own experience, but it most certainly tries exactly 0% to get you to care about this problem. It encourages deeply nested, at all layers of abstraction, through class inheritance and all that garbage, unrestricted access to the database through a very powerful ORM.

You end up tuning performance of queries that end up changing in a month because of this. It’s wild.
Most straightforward way is to login once and then turn on the "Opt out of redesign" option. Done.

I can't imagine any type of Pi-hole setup which would be faster, seems like a "holding a hammer" kind of solution.
> Personally I find it refreshing. Too much software engineering management advice is so overly nuanced and thinned down that nobody is offended but nobody learns anything either.

I love and bask in simplicity, but I think the reasons software engineering management advice is often overly nuanced is that it is a very complicated subject where simple approaches don't work. The number of corner cases that emerge are staggering. The most "simple" advice I would give now is that you need to know your people. Personalities and individual working styles make one strategy work great on one team and terrible on the other, and it's not as simple as the first team being good and the second one being bad.
About 1/3rd of them still have default credentials and at least half do zero input checking.
I agree with you re:extensions. I know something of the extension ecosystem for it - I built one - https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/llm_steer-oobabooga

Oobabooga the closest thing we have to maximalism. It has exposure for by far the largest number of parameters/settings/backends compared to all others.

My main point is that the world yearns for a proper "Photoshop for text" - and no one has even tried to make this (closest is oobabooga). All VC backed competitors are not even close to the mark on what they should be doing here.

> I contend that most human knowledge is not written down

Yes - the available training data is essentially mostly a combination of declarative knowledge (facts - including human-generated artifacts) and procedural knowledge (how to do things). What is missing is the learning process of taking a description of how to do something, and trying to apply that yourself in a specific situation.

No amount of reading books, or reading other people's blogs on how they did something, can avoid the need for hands-on experience if you want to learn how to do it yourself.

It's not just a matter of information that might be missing or unclear in instructional material, including how to cope with every type of failure and unexpected outcome, but crucially how to do this yourself - if you are to be the actor, then it's the predictive process in your mind that matters.

Partly for this reason, and partly because current AI's (transformer-based LLMs) don't support online learning (try & fail skill acquisition), I think we're going to see two distinct phases of AI.

1) The current "GenAI" phase where AI can only produce mash-ups of things it saw in it's pre-training data, augmented by similar "book learning" provided in-context which can be utilized by in-context learning. I'd characterize what this type of AI to be useful for, and capable of, as "automation". Applying that book (incl. anecdotal) knowledge to new situations where mash-up is all you need.

2) The second phase is where we have something closer to AGI, even if still below human level, which is no longer just a pre-trained transformer, but also has online learning and is agentic - taking actions predicated on innate traits like curiosity and boredom, so that given the book knowledge it can (& will!) then learn to apply that by experimentation/practice and learning from its own mistakes.

There will no doubt be advances beyond this "phase two" as well, but it seems we're likely to be stuck at "phase one" for a while (even as models become much better at phase one capabilities), until architectures fundamentally advance beyond transformers to allow this type of on-the-job training and skill acquisition.
I distinctly remember most of the people in the comments misunderstanding kernel memory paging or learning about it for the first time.

It genuinely did make llama.cpp a lot more usable at the time.
Snout https://www.snoutplans.com/ | Principal Software Engineer, Product Manager, Product Marketing | Remote US | Full Time

Join us at Snout on our mission to ensure no one ever has to make a health decision for their pet based on the cash in their back account. Snout plans pay for 100% of routine veterinary care, unlimited visits, and additional member benefits - think pet insurance, that you will actually use every year.

Principal Software Engineer -

You will be working on our core wellness product, launched late-2022. Work includes the addition of new wellness plan features and capabilities, enhancement of user experience, testing and operation of the wellness platform, and special projects that arise from time to time. We frequently work cross-functionally and you can expect to write code and perform technical operations for our marketing, sales, and support efforts, as well.

Our tech stack includes Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Tailwind. We use both JavaScript and TypeScript heavily.

To apply for the engineering role, please email kyle@snoutplans.com.

Our typical process is a one hour technical interview followed by a casual 30 minute meeting with our whole team.

We're a small startup team consisting of fewer than ten people. Successful team members are comfortable participating in spirited and detailed debates to establish product and technical plans, and then taking initiative and ownership to deliver on those plans quickly and effectively. Our team is collaborative. You can expect to meet with the team on a daily basis, pair regularly, and participate in slack discussions throughout the day. We keep pacific work hours and expect the team to be available during 9a-5p at a minimum. If you're looking for a team where you can carve out your area of responsibility, work with experienced partners who have your back, grow your role alongside the growth of the company, and take a product to the moon, then we should talk.

Product Manager -

We're looking for someone with startup experience to spearhead our product's evolution. You'll deeply understand our product, identify strategic focuses, and coordinate with our engineering team through Slack huddles and Linear stories. Your role is critical in blending product management expertise with our fast-paced startup environment, driving our mission to transform pet healthcare. Ideal candidates are adept at navigating product complexities and fostering cross-functional collaboration.

Product Marketing -
We're looking for someone to elevate our product's market presence. You'll develop engaging narratives, drive go-to-market strategies, and execute targeted campaigns. Your role is pivotal in connecting our innovative pet healthcare solutions with our audience, using a data-driven approach to boost user adoption. Ideal for creative, strategic marketers ready to make a significant impact.

To apply for the product management or marketing roles, please email emily@snoutplans.com
> The train has left the station. There's no going back to email lists.

Not if it's left up to market forces, but regulation could do it.

> What would be better is to build a product that's better than the current ones or force change.

IMHO, that's a fantasy.

Spam is indistinguishable from malicious content.

You did not sign up for the "newsletter". Your email address was harvested and given to malicious actors hell-bent on screwing you. Clicking on anything will take you to a website where your best interest is not at all what the company is going to do with your information. At best you might just remove one source of junk in your inbox. At worst, you end up clicking on something that turns out to install malware on your machine.

So what should you do?

1. Don't click on unsubscribe links.

2. Click the spam report button

3. Stop using big email services that ignore spam reports. Gmail panders to other big businesses by letting them spam you without giving you the option to blacklist the entire domain yourself. Malicious content will continue to enter your inbox until you move to an email provider that takes your privacy and security seriously.
Thx. That's a good answer.
The only reason ORMs are relevant to this conversation at all is because they include query generation. The vast majority for popular ones do that - one that I know of that doesn’t (dapper) labels itself a “micro ORM” because of it.

Hello! I'm Ricardo, a Full-stack Engineer with 10y of professional experience and a strong emphasis on backend development . Beyond my technical prowess in Javascript/Typescript, PHP 8, Flutter, SQL, Docker, and more, I complement my web development skills with an MBA and prior experience in administration and financial analysis.

For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to the same company, managing the complete life cycle of numerous projects from inception to deployment , consistently ensuring optimal performance and user experience . Working solo has given me a broad perspective, but I'm now keen to join a team where I can focus on a specific role. Collaborating with and learning from others will undoubtedly fast-track my professional growth .

Lately, I've been learning about Svelte , Astro , NestJS , and Rust . I'd really like to use them in real work. I look forward to leveraging both my technical and analytical skills in new, challenging projects .

I'm not inclined to engage in industries that harm the environment , jeopardize people's health , or are ethically dubious. I am committed to making positive contributions to the world through my work .
Isn't it the opposite, though? The whole thing was caught precisely because it was open source. Sure, you can argue that the vulnerability was introduced by a contributor, but what prevents the same thing from happening in a private repository, perpetrated by an actual employee? Especially if you consider that many vulnerabilities can be introduced with code more likely to pass as legitimate mistakes.
He's given me grifter vibes for a while, so it's nice to see that others are catching on too.

Feels like the usual trend of someone actually skilled in one specific thing (hacking) letting the social media notoriety get to his head and thinking he's just as much of a genius at everything else.

The difficulties of 'getting stuff done' in India is maybe part of the motivation behind the Modi-Ambani collaboration - essentially the government delegating state capacity to private conglomerates so that infrastructure actually gets built, accepting in the interim the inevitable corruption which occurs in this type of arrangement. Not dissimilar to ROK in the Chaebol era, so maybe can work.

Bypassing DOMPurify with good old XML
Funny. What appear to be the "lessons of COVID" appear to be a reinforcement of people's own beliefs. One could just as well "learn from COVID" that:

The government is correct when they request large-scale public health interventions and you should go along with it when it makes large scale interventions since some of these require coordination on an urgent time-scale.

and just as well that

Paternalism does not work. Providing diktats from the throne result in some quarter of the population revolting against the idea, causing coordination failure.

Whether one chooses the former or the latter seem entirely dependent on one's preconceived beliefs.

They did have SDKs (well, an assembler and linker) as well as devkits and extensive documentation. The problem was you had to enter an extensive agreement and pay a hefty amount for the privilege of using them. It made sense in that era, as you had to have the cash on hand to order a minimum of 10,000 cartridges (also manufactured by Nintendo) anyway.
