Pretty harsh words for an issue that is not really language specific.

Numbers are not as easy as they seem. Computer numbers are not the same as the numbers from mathematics.

Is "0.5" supposed to be a floating point number or a rational data type? What about conversion of types?

Sometimes you just need to know what happens in the particular language you are programming in.

Hell, even in some more AI focused discord servers I’m in, I see people doing cool things with AI images and more traditional image bashing and masking afterwards.

No I totally know it's in ascent, that's my point! Haha! :) Hmm, how to express what I'm saying more clearly -- seems it's been missed? Haha! :)

I mean, like RSS seems like where the web was in 1996 - on the ascent! - waiting for its "Google Search" moment, whereas these types of RSS curations in this product and others like it recently, a little bit like Yahoo Directory!
Good point. It reminds me of an observation made by Paul Sutter in his podcast [0]. Paraphrasing, there so many layers of emergent phenomena, most of whom we will probably never figure out:

- From quantum fields to atoms

- From atoms to chemistry

- From chemistry to biochemistry

- From biochemistry to cellular life

- From cellular life to multicellular life

- From multicellular life to consciousness

- From individual consciousness to social phenomena

SD 1.5 is a base model that is used for fine-tuning. QLora is a technique for fine-tuning with less hardware and time. People distribute the resulting QLora files, which you can load alongside the base model. A1111 and ComfyUI are tools for coordinating the inputs, models, outputs, and post-processing. ControlNet and AfterDetailer are specific projects that would plug in to A111.
That is a flawed argument. Alternative solutions have to be found for people who are physically handicapped. That is nothing new and AR/VR doesn't change that.
Show HN: AI finds you the perfect investor matches across +40k investor DB
After raising +$3M for my last startup and shutting it down, I've been coding for the last 6 months a tool called EasyVC to skip most of the annoying tasks behind fundraising from investors.

1. It takes your startup's description and matches it against several data points of each investor of the database (VCs and Business Angels), such as investment thesis, portfolio companies, investment stage, etc.

2. It gives you all the contact details of the investor, including verified emails and LinkedIn profiles.

3. It suggests the founders of the portfolio companies you should reach out to along with their LinkedIn profiles, in order to get warm intros.

This is for any tech founder raising from pre-seed to series A, of any industry.

Hope you like it, and would love to hear any questions/feedback/comments! :D
> I'm not sure it's working correctly, I entered the word "what" and it says "4 characters, 3 tokens", I type a space and it says "4 tokens" - shouldn't it just be 1 token? and the space shouldn't count in this case?

When you enter the word "what", the 3 tokens were: start-of-string token, the token "what", and end-of-string token. I made a change now to hide the special start-of-string and end-of-string tokens so that the visualization is a bit simplified.

Adding a space to input changes the tokenization of the input. Sometimes the resulting token count is the same (if the space is merged into some other text), sometimes the resulting token count increases by one (if the space does not get merged).

That part of the tokenizer is working correctly.

> Also occasionally a space appears as a capital G (in Chrome)

Fixed, thanks for reporting! This is a fork of my earlier tokenizer for LLaMA 1 and the demo visualizer had special handling for tokens 0-256 in LLaMA 1. This LLaMA 3 tokenizer doesn't have same special tokens, so some tokens would be visualized in a weird way (like that G thing you reported). I removed that special handling now and it fixed the visualization issue.

> Question: Is there a special ruleset that llama3 follows that other LMs don't as far as what qualifies as a token?

Different models use different tokenization schemes. Most models use some kind of variant of Byte Pair Encoding, trained with their data (the tokenizer itself is also trained, not only the language model).

It seems "Bus del Barri" on tmb.cat corresponds to lines 122 to 131 [1]

Only the 129 bus seems to have little to do with the park when you select it [2], so if we are talking about those bus lines, the translation certainly is "Our bus, not yours" by the city council.

> If they expect the normal to be 5, why give 1-4 as options. Why not "good" and "bad"

Some places do use a thumbs up/down rating but I think a lot of companies like the stress the 1-5 or 1-10 ratings put on workers. If you view your workers as easily replaceable, stress is a feature and the false precision lets you say that any particular outcome was data driven.

> but he made me realize that effect systems (like that found in Koka) and coroutines (like Rust’s async functions or generators) are in some ways isomorphic to one another.

It's a shame this was not explored before going down the Async route. I believe Effect handlers would have been a better fit for a systems language. IMHO a Monadic approach really needs something expressive like a functional language in order to work well.

Can’t we just go back to drawing a squiggle on a piece of paper where the verifying party kind of just eyeballs it and if it’s good enough (if they even looked at it in the first place), then it’s authenticated.
Self organising is rarely successful in my experience.

People don't like to be held accountable unless they're paid for it, so you end up with yes men and potentially the extroverts or narcissists of the group ruling the roost and making final decisions.

That is basically middle management with less oversight, no salary and less micromanaging.

In a company that makes pharmaceuticals that's probably not a great idea unless you're just about cutting the short term costs.

It could be dismissed under Daubert.

The judge is then the gate keeper and can choose if it's suitable. For a camera that applies a bunch of random hacks that the engineering team pulled out of thin air, it seems possible.

This is the classic one guy digging the hole and ten observing him doing it.

I've had this discussion a few days ago and it's simply the problem of pay. As soon as you want to make more money you have 'to be in management and act like one' which is utter cow manure since adding managers is not going to make you any product and only delay it or make it worse but the end result is endless managers and not enough actual horses to carry the load.

The reality is that gigs only work for children or the elderly. The quintessential teenage babysitter can only afford to do so because they have parents paying for everything else. The quintessential "retiree" worker can only afford to uber/doordash if they have saved enough up to offset the rest of their spending.

The reality is that for most people, these "gigs" are actually jobs. Qualifying them as "gigs" and saying that people shouldn't depend on them just allows you to feel better about not paying the true cost for the goods/services you are consuming.

If the only dashers/uberers were people who were truly only doing it for "gig work", the platforms would go under. Either that or enjoy your 50 dollar sandwich or 100 dollar uber.

I don't think it's loose coupling but more: don't build shitty overcomplicated interfaces for simple things.

What it doesn't go into is the fact you don't know if it's a shitty overcomplicated interface or not for about a decade at least, until everyone has built their universe on top of it.

What we have in the article is survivor bias. Things that are exemplars rather than the status quo and that's a good thing. But even considering what it explains, we will still blow our toes off 9 out of 10 times.

There is an old military complaint that battles always seem to take place at the very corner of the map. I guess that modern C2 systems have eliminated this problem.
> You mean, the people who actually do the work?

Yes, that too. But since "managers are a waste of space" was an angle that a lot of people had been commenting from already, I didn't feel the need to belabor that point.

My point was rather: Even if it was possible to demote managers and get them to do honest work again, that's not what you would do.

It's like the difference between slotting ROM into DDR5 slot[1] vs SATA port. You can still add features by means of fake disk I/O, but that isn't the same as directly interfacing with the CPU bus.

For displaying flat content it is indeed just a kind of monitor simulator, but that is hardly the point of VR. When looking at spatial content it is fundamentally different from a monitor, you can move your head to see the object from different angles, that is a game changer. But the use cases outside gaming and simulation are not obvious. CAD and certain visualisations is all I can think of.
The problem is that countries lack basic infrastructure such as sanitation. People and illegal dump trucks throw trash into the rivers or right beside it.

I am not an Outstanding Programmer, but I like the advice on productivity from Jonathan Blow, paraphrased: "you don't need time management or productivity tips. If you want to complete a project, maximise the time you spend sat on your chair, with the editor open." That's all there is to it.

That belief about Henry Ford is a myth. It doesn't even pass the smell test, if a company is only selling to their own workers they can never make a profit (note that any company, even a large one like Ford or Amazon, is different from an entire economy).

Ford raised wages and cut hours because his annual turnover was 300%. He ended up making more money through savings in hiring and training costs and workers staying long enough to gain experience.

In a way it was an expression of worker power. Which only applies because workers are humans, robots don't get tired, they don't have feelings, they don't leave for a competitor paying more. The best ones are more expensive than humans right now, but robots get cheaper over time. Ideally we don't want human labor to get cheaper over time.

No, biodegradable is far worse for the environment. Normal plastic sits on the Earth's surface for years, as an eyesore to remind us to clean up our act. Biodegradable plastic releases CO2 directly to the atmosphere quickly, contributing to climate change more quickly (albeit with less eyesore).

Enjoying programming and having the time outside of work. When it's a passion it all becomes a lot easier.

The problem is that most developers see programming as their 9 to 5 and outside of that, in little free time they have, they have other pursuits and hobbies.

When you see what other programmers achieve who have the time and treat it as an art (Vs work) it's natural for them to have higher productivity.
> If the creator of Ruby had broadened their horizon, and instead realised that outside the world of experienced software developers, the expression "1/2" means something totally different, maybe they could have chosen a different behaviour.

IMO, that would be a tragedy.

In every language that does it implicit type coercion is the cause of a litany of bugs.

It's the cause of many problems in php. It's why people are told not to use == in javascript.

Maybe it is more difficult for beginners. But people are only beginners for a couple of weeks. It makes no sense to design the language to make those couple of weeks a little better and the rest of their programming lives a lot worse.

FWIW, a friend of mine paid to promote a job posting in LinkedIn for a junior remote React job, specifically asking only for Canadian applicants.

When he woke up the next morning, there were 2500 applications. Only 8 of them were from Canada, 95%+ were from India. Maybe 1/4 attached cover letters, every single one immediately recognizable as the soft, impersonal ChatGPT default temperature type tone. They all still checked the “I am a Canadian resident and eligible to work in Canada” box - my understanding is that this is being treated a bit like the “I have 10+ years of Ruby experience” box.

I think that online applications are going to be broken for a while now, especially for junior roles. Any listing which is open will become a honeypot for eager applicants from around the world, hoping their profile will be exceptional enough that the company might turn a blind eye to the visa question.

Either way, I encourage everyone I know to just leverage their network and seek referrals. Firing resumes into LinkedIn seems like a fools errand at this point.
