I am a 3rd year CS undergrad, looking for a Summer Internship.
I am currently working as an Intern at Maruti Suzuki India and have worked as an Intern at a startup in the past. Additionally, I have some minor open source contributions in projects like Layer5, Meshery, and EvalAI.

I am familiar with ReactJS, and creating scalable & failsafe microservices using Python. My tech stack also Includes Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ & AWS (S3, Lambda, EC2). Additionally, I have been daily driving linux from almost 2 years.

Also, I worked as a freelancer with a startup and helped them to create a pipeline to migrate their data from their ftp servers to s3 & R2 and also, converting them to different resolutions and to hls format.
It was called "inverse square root" as it is just another practical "layer" on top of "inverse" which is just meant to mean multiplicative inverse.

This is the original Blinn 97 BTW.
https://web.archive.org/web/20130309073539/http://rufus.hack...

This seems to have been common usage. I never really thought about it as it was just so normal to refer to reciprocal as "inverse" in this context.

> In my universe we used inverse in the context of functions and their inverses

Yes but, the other type of inverse that is so fundamental to CS in general, and especially geometry is a matrix inverse, which is again a multiplicative inverse, so it's not too surprising how this usage became assumed in many contexts.
For the math aficionados in this thread, I have a frequency domain related set of ideas I'd like to develop into a more rigorous mathematical theory. Basically, represent a curve as Chebyshev polynomial: T_1 represents a line, T_2 represents an arc, T_3 an Euler spiral, etc. Smooth curves have rapidly decreasing Chebyshev coefficients, and this whole thing is potentially a lot easier to work with than Fréchet distance, which is the usual error metric but very annoying.

This is conceptual and theoretical, but potentially has immediate application for computing a better offset of a cubic Bézier, used for stroke expansion.

If this sounds intriguing, a good starting point is the Zulip thread[1] I'm using to write down the ideas. I'd especially be interested in a collaborator who has the experience and motivation to coauthor a paper; I can supply the intuition and experimental approach, but the details of the math take me a long time to work out. (That said, I'm starting to wonder if engaging that slog myself might not actually be a good way to level up my math skills)

Fascinating. I would love to see my breakdown of bugs-per-commit, or words-spoken-in-meetings, compared to sleep to see if there any correlations. Anecdotally, sleep seems to be the number one factor that influences my productivity. More so than diet, exercise, or even mental health.
Traitorous does seem strong. But gross negligence that can result in hundreds of deaths per mistake? Mistakes that may not happen if share prices weren't the number one priority? Yah something heavy should happen.
Yep, that was a popular one. Later in high school I had a shared hosting account with shell access so I could spin up a proxy with something like

ssh -NL 8080:localhost:8080 user@host

Then point the browser to use that as a socks proxy.
Even longer.

American business operates like a feudal system with lords and peasants. Management are the lords and everyone else are the expendable peasants.

Occasionally, the lords are forced to acknowledge that the peasants are just as essential as they are. Without them there is nothing and no one to "lord" over.

This is the abherrent phase that Boeing has just entered. The system will be forced to either return to normal or simply cease to exist a la GE.
I'm actually not even a Gen Z -- which is funny per all the comments -- I'm one of the last millennials. I find Gen Z to be very level headed and practical and like them though. I'm not going to deny they can be a little quirky (and my aesthetic tastes indicate I probably like that about them) but I think they will prove to be an interesting generation
That makes sense in a vacuum, but in the real world not everyone is a lawyer and corporations have a vast power imbalance compared with a member of the general public. It's incredibly easy to bury something surprising among many other clauses, such as only scheduled flights being covered and not charters. The idea certain potentially surprising clauses need to more prominent seems pretty reasonable on balance. The onus is still on the signing party to read them, but they are afforded the opportunity to notice among many clauses these are ones that deserve special attention.

That means there will always be an argument around what a reasonable party would consider a surprising clause, but contract law disputes deal with nuance, edge cases, and what a reasonable party would expect all the time. With rulings like this corporations will air on the side of caution when taking big swings in forming their agreements since litigation is so costly and the outcome so uncertain. Consumers gain a little power back (though still far from equal footing).

This should only apply when there are large power imbalances, such as individual people entering agreements with vast multinational corporations. When big corps ink deals with each other caveat emptor should reign; they have equal opportunity to review and understand the terms and therefore have to live with the consequences.
Ah yes. You are correct. I believe the interviewee is the one who led the project which brought all of these individual researchers together.
and it gets worse right before the end as it has for multiple empires in the past and i've identified these tall tale signals:

1. devaluation of its currency and rise of ponzi finance (Ex. dutch gild decline and tulip mania).

2. declaring perpetual war on an invisible enemy like opposing ideology, terrorists, drugs, poverty, etc

There's a third signal but its too controversial to talk about here.
Although I've been aware of it for many years, I've never had vegemite (or marmite for that matter), and never really knew what it was. Reading this (and watching the video) got me thinking along the same lines as you mention. Seems like it could be interesting used as a bullion/soup base, or maybe used like Worcestershire.
I have collected so much information in text files on my computer that it has become unmanageable to find anything. Now with local AI solutions, I wondered if I could create a smart search engine that could provide answers to the information that exists on my personal data.

My question is.

1 - Even if there is so much data that I can no longer find stuff, how much text data is needed to train an LLM to work ok? Im not after an AI that could answer general question, only an AI that should be able to answer what I already know exist in the data.

2 - I understand that the more structured the data are, the better, but how important is it when training an LLM with structured data? Does it just figuring stuff out anyways in a good way mostly?

3 - Any recommendation where to start, how to run an LLM AI locally, train on your own data?
> Maybe people who have more than, say, 20 million dollars should be personally liable. This seems like a very conservative middle ground, because, as you say, these people have sometimes knowingly made decisions they knew would result in deaths. Taking away only some of their money is the least of punishments, and they would still be left rich and very comfortable.

Monetary punishment is not enough, and in fact I would say any kind of punishment is not useful enough. We need to switch our thinking to focus on preventative measures.

In this case all of the money ever made from PFAS will never be enough to clean up the pollution or care for all of the human health side effects. You could make all of the employees and execs very uncomfortable, claw back every single penny ever made and it still wont be enough by a long shot. In some cases It's easy to do a huge amount of damage for (relatively) far less personal gain.

Some of the world's regulatory systems already at least attempt to work from a preventative perspective such as drug approval processes for humans. As more of society wises up to the fact that the environment is an extension of us, it shouldn't be that hard to convince people to take preventative strategies towards caring for it.
What John von Neumann did at Los Alamos (2020)
What task benefits from using such a complex instruction so easily dividable in simpler ones for it to be present in aarch64?
I’m no expert but I don’t believe it did sharply increase.
Easy:

If this is proven to be a criminal act, even of criminal negligence, charge not only the people making decisions, the board members, but also shareholders, relative to their holdings. Including grouped stocks such as funds.

All it will take is once for this to happen and shareholders to actually think about the repercussions of “investing” in corporations that do this kind of thing.
Seems right except the last sentence. The American era continues, just worse.
Good luck distributing gains justly when the masses have nothing of value to bargain with. Politics will likely continue to be co-opted by people who can pay; either directly or through other means of coercion.

There used to be a lot more horses… I’m finding 25 million in the US in 1920 compared with 3.8 million today. Of course, they can no longer occupy the niche in society they used to, and so like in nature; when the niche is removed; they can’t just find some other way to be productive or even survive. I don’t think we are so different. Based on the past, I think it’s dangerous to believe some few will keep the rest of us around. Dangerous, because unlike horses, this will cause significant unrest, and ultimately we can’t predict the outcome. My guess is ultimately, with fewer jobs, there will eventually be less people, for better or worse.
It's extremely regressive. I started an effort to reform things in Italy and... it kinda sorta got some actual results, although not quite as much as I'd hoped

https://blog.therealitaly.com/2015/04/16/fixing-italy-a-litt...

How many days of wages is 12,500 for the average worker? In the US, even for someone making minimum wage, you could pretty quickly cover the costs of forming an LLC, let alone someone making more.
Kodi + an older television without "smarts" make for an actual "smart" television, one which does not try to sell you as a product to advertisers but which uses its "smarts" for your benefit. This is how the part of my family which likes to watch television (which is everyone but me...) access their network-provided pablum (my bias might show through a bit here and there) using a "dumb" TV with a Raspberry Pi on the back. It can even be controlled through the TV's own remote which makes this not just useable to those who like to tinker but also those who just want to donate some brain cells to the gods of "entertainment".

I use Kodi for this purpose - direct view on a local device - and Jellyfin for 'remote' applications, e.g. for making our extensive photo and video collection available to family members. Jellyfin is a media server while Kodi is an extensible media player which happens to have some limited support for remote access/streaming. In other words they are complementary, not in competition. I have never used Plex nor felt the desire to do so.
I feel like capitalism is a net good, but it is consistently undercut by wall street.
you apparently haven't come to terms with the fact that capitalism is a zero sum endeavor

This is a ridiculous claim. Do we have the same amount of total wealth as we did a hundred or a thousand years ago, and the only difference is how it's distributed?
> This loss isn't recognized unless you sell.

True, up until the point you lose your job due to recession and then you have to sell.
My dad had some American friends come to stay once, with similar assumptions, and a similar lesson.
> I see IoT devices are still the weakest link in any network.

That's why IoT stood for, since the very beginning, for "Internet of shitty insecure Things" : )
Is running under a limited enough to limit liability? I'm no lawyer but thought you'd have to establish all the corporate infra (bank, tools, etc) to avoid piercing the veil in your daily ops.
Show HN: Variable Patching in Golang
Same here. I never realized until I read an article about it well in my fourties.
I read the late Wittgenstein when I was twenty, and I also thought that thing with "the meaning of a dog is a mental image of a dog" was a metaphor. He quotes this somewhere to criticize it iirc.
No, just write your javascript to do more I/O than compute. Apps should do app things not low level tasks that slow things down.

If you need to compute something complicated, write it in a compiled language and make it a node module. Many popular npm libraries are exactly this.

maybe parallel process for a bit eh? but yeah, it’s going to be a lot of dev hours to remove it. Still, at least there is some motivation now.
The real TL:DR;

> Trump’s proposal consists of pushing Ukraine to cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia, (...)

Aka Ukraine capitulation.

No wonder, as Trump acts like a Russian asset.
I personally don't care about an individual's personal political opinions. What bothers me is when those opinions start to interfere with business operations. That goes for individual contributors as well as executives. Leave your politics at the voting booth and we'll all be better off. Similar for so-called "celebrity" CEO's - any time there is more focus on the CEO's personality / personal-life / fame / etc, than on the core business fundamentals, that's a red flag. (This is not specific to Tesla and applies to all other companies)
https://www.stigg.io/ might fit (we are in the midst of integrating it into our product and it’s been good so far)
As I said, while that was the brand I had, brands like QNAP and Asustor have also had the exact same issues. These devices are all just examples of poorly supported hardware, where a solution where you control the hardware and software installed on it is far more likely to be supported going forward.
I can see how someone might think I don’t know the difference, but it’s rather that I don’t think the details are important. They are both ways of partially applying a function. I wanted to demystify currying and show the equivalence, but I was too brief about it.

A method is a function with convenient syntax. Some of its arguments come from the “this” parameter. If the object is immutable and the method has no side-effects, it’s a pure function.

Converting a function to an immutable class with a method is a mechanical refactoring that I sometimes do, when the class has an intuitive name. The code does the same thing.
Google flights is the only tool (I've seen) that offers so many helpful filter options. It's so easy to find the perfect itinerary. And the overall UX far surpasses anything else.
The XZ Utils backdoor, discovered last week, and the Heartbleed security vulnerability ten years ago, share the same ultimate root cause. Both of them, and in fact all critical infrastructure open source projects, should be fixed with the same solution: ensure baseline funding for proper open source maintenance.
To be honest, I don't think much of notaries and believe that they stifle innovation and harm the German economy, especially SMEs, but also clubs and citizens. For example, the purchase or sale of a property can only be carried out with a notary who reads the purchase contract for both parties. For this service, he charges a fee of around 1.5% of the sale price. The entire profession is strictly protected by law and there is no competition.
In general, it's not a protection from gross negligence and/or fraud.

The problem is that in cases like these it's extremely difficult to prove such a thing, especially considering it's over many decades and potentially dozens of people.

There's also a bit of practical concerns where criminal prosecutions don't want to pick cases that are tough to win as it'll be resource intense to pursue them.

Of course like the Volkswagen situation you reference (in Germany) where the corporation operates may impact criminal prosecution.
If Google is right 98% of the time, companies might find it not worth the cost to develop and use a better system, leaving the 2% of people caught in the crack unable to get basic services as all companies go off of Google's data. This is a huge fairness problem.
Have you seen how much those services charge for even just 10tb of storage? It's insane.
Neon is SIMD so I would presume these instructions let you vectorize those calculations and do them in parallel on a lot of data more efficiently than if you broke it down into simpler operations and did them one by one.

I recall that one year, they did a Marmite made from Champagne years for Valentine's day. I vaguely remember that it was quite a bit milder than normal Marmite.
AWS can continue to provide you a product that consistently loses money because they have a gazillion million dollars.

They have the ability to kill comeptition by losing money until they go broke first.
1) Talent. The more engineers are familiar with Llama, PyTorch, and the likes, the easier it is to find ML talent for Meta.

2) Free research and innovation that Meta can readily copy for their needs.

3) They don’t really give up any power. They can always keep future models proprietary.

In my opinion, it is a bit like Microsoft’s “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.” Make SW publicly available, extend it to your own business needs, and if a competitor emerges, the power is still with Meta to restrict its use or copy the use case (“extinguish”).
My thought is they have 50-200 systems programmers where it's like "Hey George, I know you like to contribute to linux, have at it, we just need you to put a little pinhole here here and here"
Then they have 5-20 security gurus / hackers who are like "Thanks George, I made this binary blob you need to insert, here's how you do it"

So the systems developer job is to build a reputation over years as we see, the security guy's job is to handle the equation group heavily encrypted/obfuscated exploits.

This would explain a mix of code quality / professionalism - multiple people, multiple roles. Of course the former "systems programmer" role need not be a full time employee. They good have motivated a white hat developer to change hats, either financially or through an offer they can't refuse.

It wasn't a wrong model, it was just much more complex than needed, given better understanding of physics. Viewing the universe relative to stationary Earth is a perfectly fine exercise, even if it means you have to DFT the rest of the solar system for the math to work.
As cool as it looks, I have to ask: why?
I rather buy the idea that the secondary explanation is actually the primary reason. In the first picture you can clearly see such a structure in a corner that doesn't connect to any kind of street/alley. Thus, I personally, don't buy the primary reason. Of course, unless that specific spot was made much later in time.
is there a reason the author refuses to capitalize "Apple"?
I remember my 11" VGN-TZ with some fondness. At the time, the 2.5lb weight and pretty good battery life were a huge improvement over the 6lb 15" Toshiba I had been lugging around. That said, by 2014 I was happy to get rid of it for $100 in a Craigslist sale.

> That's why it's so weird that they're (apparently) abandoning their plans for an affordable EV and going all in on robotaxis.

Tesla's track record of bait-and-switch promises and lack of credibility leads me to believe they do not have anything to show for, and the robotaxi claim is yet another desperate attempt to keep the stock prices afloat.
I wonder: why EU did not try to somewhat harmonize company law? I can understand that things like tax code, penal code would not benefit from unification across disparate societies, but companies seem like a ripe target. This should have begun 20 or so years ago.

Wow and I thought realtors getting a % cut on sales was a scam, at least in NA when you get to the notary, it's a flat fee.
Your individual identity is tied to the EIN, LLC, and bank account. I doubt it’s that useful for tax evasion.

Each little step of friction discourages some entrepreneurs and adds barriers to entry for incumbents to prevent competition.

And just in general, not doing something very often is not a valid reason for making it needlessly expensive and time consuming.
I was a little loose with definitions but wanted something aesthetically similar to a site like Gumroad or Tailwind in terms of Neo-brutalism

Ease of doing business is one of the top things to look at in any country.

It’s on law enforcement and regulators to counter fraudsters. Ordinary citizens should not bear pain because of them.
Right now the minimum amount of RAM I would recommend is 16gb, I think it can run with less memory but that will require a few changes here and there (although they might reduce performance). I would also strongly recommend using a GPU over CPU, in my experience it can make the LLM run twice as fast if not more. Only Nvidia GPUs are supported for now and the CUDA toolkit 12.2 is required to run Dot.
>Again, this liability would not be able to reduce an individual's wealth to less than 20 million

$20,000 I might accept, but that's ridiculous.

Edit: Really, I don't think any kind of limit is a good idea. We already have bankruptcy law and different sorts of fines or penalties being or not being dischargeable under forms of bankruptcy. Sticking to that framework seems best.
Investment has become increasingly decoupled from its reputed purpose; it’s not a means to an end, getting short term gains at all costs has become the end goal.
