So, I'm guessing that the people with the most regrets about joining the California gold rush were the ones who decided to move there after 1850. It might be worth thinking about whether this is because you find machine learning interesting on a personal level, or whether you're just trying to be where the excitement is. If the AI hype has already started to cool off by the time you graduate, are you going to feel regret about the real & opportunity costs of going back to school, or would you still see it as personally rewarding and feel motivated to persevere in building a machine learning career in a slower job market?

That said, if you want to get into machine learning, I've been seeing that increasingly many entry-level machine learning jobs now require a master's degree of some sort. Be aware, though, that these jobs may not be glamorous. I've go a master's degree myself, and usually see all the really exciting work get handed to colleagues with PhDs. I still find it to be a rewarding career, but that's possibly because I enjoy the work itself, and am not particularly worried about the glamor.

It may also be worth pointing out, while all of my colleagues do have at least a master's degree, none of them have one in machine learning specifically. Typically it's one in some other hard or social science. Basically anything that builds a strong foundation in statistics, linear algebra, and research & experimental methodology. The actual machine learning part of the job is kind of the easy part, and mostly belongs in the top row of that "what people think I do / what I really do" meme. I did have two former colleagues who started out as software engineers and then got a master's in machine learning / data science / whatever in order to pivot to AI/ML. Both of them really struggled to settle into the work, and ended up reverting back to just being software engineers, only now with a lot more student debt.
What are the chances this is the first such attack, not just the first one discovered. Presumably every library or service running as root is open to attack and maybe also some running in userspace. The attack surface is massive. Time for better sandboxing? Once attackers get into the build systems of Debian and others is it game over?
Yes the whole "let's take a mystery meat tarball from a repo that isn't the project repo" seems suspect.

Github+ even has a scheme for signing artifacts such that you have some level of trust they came from inside their Actions system, derived from some git commit. This would allow the benefits of a modular build for a large product like a distro, while preserving a chain of trust in its component parts.

+Not advocating a dependency on Github per se -- the same sort of artifact attestation scheme could be implemented elsewhere.
In this case, I think the GP is absolutely right. If you look at the infamous patch with a "hidden" dot, you may think "any C linter should catch that syntax error and immediately draw suspicion." But the thing is, no linter at the moment exists for analyzing strings in a CMakeLists.txt file or M4 macro. Moreover, this isn't something one can reliably do runtime detection for, because there are plenty of legitimate reasons that program could fail to compile, but our tooling does not have a way to clearly communicate the syntax error being the reason for a compilation failure.
I was in this situation once. I joined, recruited the team, built the product... only to discover he couldn't sell it. Sales were abysmal. He could raise money and "sell the dream" though. That only goes on for so long without results. He also refused to pivot after 5 years of slow growth.

Company nearly went broke and was "acquired" by one of the investors for pennies on the dollar. I say never again... but, I like early stage companies. Maybe not that early.
Sure, if an idea was entirely unique and revolutionary, but wanting to build the umpteenth CRM SaaS startup is not. Nobody in regards to technology ever pays anybody for ideas, they pay them for their ability to execute or sell/market those ideas. The "famous labs" you describe but don't name are _labs_, and the innovation that came out of them was a result of people with ideas and the ability to execute.

Or maybe it's a case of "time to renegotiate my salary with that in mind". ;)
> Code is not some unique part of human infrastructure in this aspect

It kinda is. The fact that code costs fractions of a penny to copy and scale endlessly, changes everything.

There's hard limits on power plants, you need staff to run them, it's well-understood.

But software - You can make a startup with 3 people and a venture capitalist who's willing to gamble a couple million on the bet that one really good idea will make hundreds of millions.

Software actually is different. It's the only non-scarce resource. Look at the GPL - Software is the only space where communism / anarchy kinda succeeded, because you really can give away a product with _nearly_ no variable costs.

And it's really just the next step on the scale of "We need things that are dangerous" throughout all history. Observe:

- Fire is needed to cook food, but fire can burn down a whole city if it's not controlled

- Gunpowder is needed for weapons, but it can kill instantly if mishandled

- Nuclear reactors are needed for electricity, but there is no way to generate gigawatts of power in a way that those gigawatts can't theoretically cause a disaster if they escape containment

- Lithium-ion batteries are the densest batteries yet, but again they have no moral compass between "The user needs 10 amps, I'm giving 10 amps" and "This random short circuit needs 10 amps, I'm giving 10 amps"

- Software has resulted in outrageous growth and change, but just like nuclear power, it doesn't have its own morality, someone must contain it.

Even more so than lithium and nuke plants, software is a bigger lever that allows us to do more with less. Doing more with less simply means that a smaller sabotage causes more damage. It's the price of civilization.

So the genie ain't going back in. And private industry is always going to be a tragedy of the commons.

I'm not sure what government regulation can do, but there may come a point where we say, even if it means our political rivals freeload off of us, it's better for the USA to bear the cost of auditing and maintaining FOSS than to ask private corporations to bear that cost duplicating each other's work and keeping it secret.

Is that a handout to Big Tech? 100%. Balance it with UBI and a CO2 tax that coincidentally incentivizes data centers to be efficient. We'll deal with it.

Reddit is very much a real-time experience. People visit to read or view current posts or to comment on current posts. I suspect that dead posts, especially those more than a few months, are functionally never touched again. Broken search has always been a feature so the idea that anything on an old thread is useful is dubious at best. Even searching Google for specific information from reddit posts will not pull up what you want if that information is deep in a comment thread.

There's really nothing to see here. This is standard expected behavior baked into reddit from day one. Not even /u/spez or /u/kn0thing wanted everything they ever posted to be perpetually available. They had multiple discussions early on about how some of it might appear years down the line.

I'm not making reddit worse for anyone. I'm the guy who saw the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" sign and made sure I wore my best t-shirt and a pair of boots so I could enjoy the facilities.

The only ones who might get their feelings hurt are those who are actively using reddit content to train their LLMs or those who decided to invest in reddit's IPO and who see any modification of posts as potentially damaging the value of the content.

In the end, it has always been my content and their aggregator. The shear volume of traffic they have seen makes anything that I do functionally irrelevant.

> You don't become a technical co-founder to make bank with the equity or salary. [...] and eventually jump ship and become a captain of your own vessel.

So by your logic, only the CEO gets to make bank from a startup and everyone else, CTO included, are to get screwed and accept this?
It seems as though tech just has a junior person problem all around - this is abundantly clear in cybersecurity, where we have an overwhelming amount of people with useless bachelor’s degrees and no actual talent or experience to back it up.
Our CTO said he ideally wants to hire someone who has been working with LLMs since before they blew up 2 years ago; i.e. someone who has been working in the space since around GPT-2.

> I'm also big fan of not dictating what other people should say

Me either, but in this context what would that have to do with Elon Musk or Tesla? Are you suggesting that other automobile manufacturers or their CEOs try to dictate what other people say?
Oh yes, it's been like that for years now. I see the attraction: high salary, cool title. But you need to have the right kind of brain for it, and more importantly, a lot of companies have gotten burned on their DS experiments and pulled back their investments.
> People love trucks, so this might work out great for TSLA.

1. there is essentially no market for pick-up trucks outside the US.

2. the market for pick-up trucks inside the US is dominated by suburban American dads. They love trucks because they can imagine pulling up to a job site in one. We all know, even the suburban dads, that if you pull up to a job site in a Cybertruck, the guys working there are going to laugh at you. Look into your heart. You know this to be true. That's the kiss of death. (That and the fact the panel gaps are like two inches.)
In large part because other states will give homeless people a free bus ticket to California and they take it so they don’t freeze to death in the winter

The problem is not being unpaid. The problem is lack of verification and control, which itself result from lack of help and participation. You won't fix these problems by throwing money at it.
The market isn't weird; it's working exactly as intended: Do whatever it takes to make the number at the bottom of the page bigger than what people predicted it would be at the start of the quarter. If that means screwing some people's career trajectories, do it. If it means parting out divisions of the company that had strategic value, do it. If it means allegedly murdering a whistleblower, do it.
Such deals are reasonable under some circumstances. For example, Tesla pays SpaceX for Musk's travels on the SpaceX jet (whenever he travels for Tesla-related business).

But definitely not for a company with just a few $100k in annual revenue that's teetering on bankruptcy. Not surprised it's a SPAC stock...

Edit: Upon digging; I discovered that this CEO has invested $230 million+ in Canoo (from personal funds he made selling his previous company)...this article is almost a nothing burger.
This is also my experience. Editing or deleting comments on reddit doesn't permanently remove them since there are so many operators updating their own reddit streams in real time. It never goes away, it just takes a little more effort to find the original.

What does modern C project management look like? I'm only familiar with Autotools and CMake.
Id like it if we had a fairly decent model that is Siri that runs locally and privately and without signal.

BUT that can call a really powerful model as it sees fit, like ChatGPT plugins.

Ideally I can have some choices about this external model, or if Apple can do a deal with OpenAI or Google to power this external model that that could be pretty sweet too.

I was in a combo program, got my Master's in ML on the way to a PhD. I really didn't quite understand academia before I entered. It got to the point where I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, I had spent 4 years on a very long paper that didn't represent my own desired direction of work in the field. And the whole time I had simmering thoughts that I'd rather being building software in an engineering context, that academia was not my place.

I eventually quit and did find a job with a smaller company building math-heavy analysis software for an engineering field. I'm quite happy with my choice; I pick my language and tools, I have complete agency over my part of the product stack, and I solve interesting problems. Sometimes I entertain the "what-if," but I see the ML industry as stuck in a massive bull-trap bubble, with a lot of people working on "products" that add zero value to their company's portfolio.

I don't chase easy money, I chase interesting work.
These days you can even have these emails automatically taken in by an LLM and have the LLM argue with the maintainer for you, no humans needed!

Something I've wondered about wrt this debacle: presumably the smart part of xz was the compression algorithm. I'm guessing but that's probably less than 500 lines of code. The rest is plumbing to do with running the algorithm in a CLI utility, on various different OSes, on different architectures, as a library, and so on. All that stuff is at some level of abstraction the same for all things that do bulk processing on bytes of data. Therefore perhaps we should think about a scheme where the boilerplate-ish stuff is all in some framework that is well funded with people to ensure it doesn't have cutout maintainers injecting backdoors, and is re-used for hundreds of bulk-data-processing utilities; and the clever part would then be a few hundred lines of code that's easy to review, and actually probably never needs to change. Like...a separation of concerns.
Nice score! I like how clean the game is now, so I don't think I'll implement ads. I have added swiping though, hope it feels a bit better now :-)
I interviewed once with a company that made rice and grain sorters. They have a massive hopper at the top and pass the grain in a curtain through a machine vision camera, and then decide in real time where each grain goes based on the image.

Apparently pretty much every grain of rice you've eaten has been through a machine like that.

> The main problems I see in 99% of the cases of a founder looking for a technical co-founder are:

Some problems I commonly see in people's analysis of situations:

- believing themselves to know things which are unknowable ("the ideas person doesn’t have the situational awareness to recognize that their ideas aren’t that unique", "value in a startup isn’t the idea but the ability to execute and build on that idea", etc).

- representing (and I suspect perceiving) subjective, heuristic based opinions ("aren’t that unique") as facts.

- using inadequate variable types when describing (and I suspect perceiving) the problem space ("the value", "wants credit/equity for having the idea").

- making up facts ("In 99% of cases")

This entire thread (as are most threads when the prompt is of a certain class of topic) is chock full of all of these, and many of the people in this subreddit are arguably genuine "The Experts" on this sort of thing...which is (or can be) kinda funny if you think about it for more than a few seconds.

And yes, I do realize that I "should" just "know what you meant"....except: how should I go about doing that?

And if these silly delusional founders should not believe silly delusional things, should that rule not extend to everyone?

Actually its shown how a dependence on people whose identities have not been confirmed and who can merge code without review can cause major problems.

evals or didn't happen
The challenge is, a lot of 'non-technical founders' are obsessed with the idea and consider it their 'golden ticket' reason for getting everything, and completely discount actual execution.

Often the attitude is because 'execution is someone else's problem who doesn't matter much, I can just pay them peanuts'.

Which is why all the hate from the engineering side, because they aren't looking for a technical co-founder but someone to do all the actual work while being told they don't matter. Often while being paid like they don't matter either.

That's literally what being a co-founder is. You might be even split with someone, but you are still very much the captain.
