You could put an 8700G in the same socket. The CPU isn't much faster but it has the new NPU for AI. I'm thinking about this upgrade to my 2400G but might want to wait for the new socket and DDR5.
The point is to communicate a large amount of personal investment - love, sweat, and tears. As opposed to someone who scraped together some side project in a weekend and hasn’t yet faced the demon horde of edge cases.

I have expertise in AI inference systems (stateless and RAG based), particularly the deployment and scaling of systems to service tens of thousands of queries per second. In my free time I like to write software for my personal projects and go deeper into the computing stack of modern computers.

I'm open to remote positions for ML Engineering or Product Management. OK with either contract or full time.

Additionally I have founded a couple (failed) companies, including a humanoid robotics company, and have experience in IoT/Embedded, computer vision, CAD software, web scraping, webservers, and management (through volunteering and the previously mentioned company).
I don’t know the reason for this glitch, but from prior knowledge:

- BRK.A has an extremely high share price, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single share, which causes issues

- NYSE has a very complicated trading system, because it tries to do things that no other market does, like having special privileges for manual floor traders, and because their markets have highly complex trading rules in general. I’ve written connectors to some of their Pillar protocols and they were… unusual
Nah, creating duplicate calendar entries because you did not receive visual feedback before getting frustrated and making another one sucks. Maybe watch the video instead reading the bullshit the narrative drivers are feeding you.
Alternatively, the people you perceive as 'less competent' might actually be highly competent in different areas.

People who have made a lot of money from scratch don't actually tend to be incompetent - they tend to be highly competent at whatever they are doing.

There are very few self-made rich lazy people.
The advantage of OpenSCAD and CadQuery is that history is in your undo buffer or source control, not some impossible-to-consistently-manipulate stack.

All "features" (in the physical sense) are exposed to you - no hiding, no magically forgetting a single fillet somewhere.

Oneshot rendering is a huge advantage.
I looked at upgrading my existing AMD based system's ram for this purpose, but found out my mobo/cpu only supports 128gb of ram. Lots, but not as much as I had hoped I could shove in there.
A coworker similarly said "WAIT--reindeer are REAL??"

I'm thankful I had maturity to simply say "yes, they're in the deer family, native to Canada and Northern Europe".

They were from China where they probably rarely mention reindeer, and only in the context of Santa Claus.

It's no different from a Westerner rarely hearing about tanukis, and only in the context of trickster spirits in anime and Super Mario Bros 3. How are you supposed to know they're real?

Great link!

On a related note, a difference in Postgres is that both Repeatable Read and the higher Serializable Isolation levels are both using Snapshot Isolation under the hood.

I've been trying to grok this stuff for a few years and it's good to keep in mind that the implementations of various isolation levels between vendors can vary significantly.

I've found the resources on Jepsen very helpful as well if you want to go down a rabbit hole :)

The problem of "how doctors think" was well-documented over 15 years ago by Jerome Groopman. As a result, I think the problem is well understood, at least by those who are aware of books like Groopman's. Unfortunately, his message hasn't traveled far despite his reputation and book sales.

SEEKING WORK | Canada | Remote

I have a PhD in computer engineering, focusing on operations research (OR). I specialize in developing solutions to OR problems and advising on OR matters for startups and small companies. In other words, I can translate real-world problems into mathematical models that can be solved via integer programming, constraint programming, or other optimization methods. I can implement and provide a production-ready solution for any type of problem you might have related to OR: scheduling, routing, etc.

Recent work includes an optimization model for the selection of indexes in Postgres: https://pganalyze.com/blog/index-advisor-v3

Not a huge surprise. It filled a weird niche, which was very easy to use for basic use cases, but Chalice only supported a small subset of Lambda features and didn't get much attention from AWS either.

As soon as you tried to do slightly more than was possible with it, it become unviable to manage all of the Lambdas and you end up having to use Terraform or similar anyway. If I were doing lots of new Lambdas today, I'd probably just use a third-party Terraform module for all of it.
> I will think twice now before saying “why couldn’t they just use USB for this?”

I dunno, I think either you're doing a small run and you can just bake in a Teensy or whatever, or you're doing a big run and $6k is a drop in the bucket.
Compared to Intel, AMD seems to bin their chips a lot less. Intel have their -T chips which would be nifty if Intel weren't so far behind in terms in terms of efficiency.
> Not to mention that the OK button has hopefully deservedly died because it wasn't clear.

I disagree. The great thing about the OK and Cancel buttons were not that they were a good description for what you were doing, but that everyone understood what was going to happen. It is that consistency that has been lost. Trying to get terminology to be more accurate is a laudable goal, but what really kills me about modern UI design is how every single app or web page feels like they need to roll their own.
I was a Cloud Architect who had been working nearly 10 years at a financial institution. When our CIO left, the board had made a poor decision with their replacement. The new CIO was a complete bumblehead not knowing which direction was up.

Eventually an initative came down the chain that we were going to put our on prem datacenter in the cloud. As I had been in the role for so long, I already had multiple strategies on how to accomplish this and save the company over a quarter of a million a year in the process while providing additional DR to mission critical components that they didnt otherwise have.

I presented the strategy to the CIO, who wanted to get a second opinion. Ok- fair. The second opinion was that we had a solid cloud migration plan. CIO wanted a third opinion, then a fourth. All of which said we had accounted for unknown variables and were set to proceed. On his FIFTH opinion, I remember sitting in yet another office going through introductions. This random guy talks about being a cloud Architect for a bank, moving critical apps to the cloud and providing DR.

Bumblehead CIO turns to us and mouths "WOW!". As if that was the most incredable and impressive thing that he has heard in his career. It was at that minute that I realized that not only did he now know what he was doing as CIO, but he couldnt even recognize the milestones that my current team was achieving in regard to cost savings, security, migrations to serverless cloud features, and the solid migration plan I had presented many times to him prior.

What I learned in that moment was a well crafted 15 second introduction is more important than what most people think.
20 year experience with software development. Experience with various systems development (configurable workflow system, logistics system, printing/voting tracking system, internal tools etc.).
Past few months I worked on RAG system (Python, FastAPI, local LLMs, vector databases).

Experience in international teams (worked for companies in Switzerland, USA).

Friendly Captcha | DevOps Engineer & Integrations Engineer | REMOTE within EU | PART-TIME or FULL-TIME | Office in Munich, Germany | https://friendlycaptcha.com

At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.

We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.

We’re a fast-growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.

We are currently hiring for two roles: a DevOps infra-focused Engineer, and a (polyglot) Integrations Engineer.

For the DevOps engineer a great fit would be a pragmatic builder who prefers to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word?). We prefer to design so that we don't need a dedicated team to maintain any part. You should be productive in Go, and a good knowledge of modern DevOps/SRE practices is expected (IaC, GitOps, etc...).

For the Integrations Engineer it's perhaps less well defined. We think investing in a great developer experience through documentation, SDKs and plugins will pay dividends - and it makes sense for us to grow our team in that direction. The role involves helping us build integrations and plugins for various platforms, but also talking to customers to learn where we can improve. We think the right hire will shape the role themselves.

Our engineering team is remote across Europe, we meet up once per quarter or so. You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU, EEA or UK.

Stack: Golang | Typescript | Clickhouse | Postgres | Redis | Terraform | Packer | Linux | OpenTelemetry | HAProxy

Your comment boils down to 'all code should be perfect'. Which is a lovely request, but doesn't really help.

In particular, I'd challenge you to find one large program that handles OOM situations 100% correctly, especially since most code runs atop an OS configured to over-allocate memory. But even if it wasn't, I doubt there's any sizeable codebase that handles every memory allocation failure correctly and gracefully.

The default theme you see on the VSCode home page is not much better.
It's heartwarming to see that people are not wasting their time creating useless services on the Internet. This one brought me joy.
The problem is that that kind of data is not being recorded, and certainly not published. My country purposefully did chose not to record official numbers of the actual vax state of death. No one properly collects data on myocarditis etc. Selective science (just like selective moderation) is a plague
The problem with optimisation is that you first need to decide what you’re trying to optimise for. Latency? Throughput? Overhead? Correctness? Time to market? Ease of ramping up new hires?

I've worked in multiple startups, but I currently work at Walmart Global Tech. I went through the HAX hardware accelerator in 2017, which fueled my passion for hardware communication with iOS. I love going to trade shows and standing at booths talking about my product. I have a knack for giving presentations to investors and general demoing. I also have a lot of knowledge with hardware manufacturing in Shenzhen (QA, sourcing, etc).
As if one can just grab a PlayStation and start developing for it. The limiting tech already exists.
The same may be told of our unwillingness to harness the solar system. Future dwellers would say we knew how to do this and simply did not want.
That doesn't really meet the needs of my particular application. I want to let as much light through as possible, just scatter it a bit, but that privacy film stuff reflects quite a lot of light.
That's very cool. Thanks. At first I thought they were just press-fit pins (see https://www.te.com/content/dam/te-com/documents/automotive/g...) but they are not!

More here:
https://www.we-online.com/components/media/o210254v410%20ANE...

Very nice alternative to Tag-connects. It looks like the PCB footprint is a little larger per pin but the connector is less fragile and the connection would be more robust. Great for having a debugger or logger attached during lifecycle testing especially in the prence of vibration. I also find their other suggested use - enabling expansion connections with no added cost to the base unit - very intriguing. "Options" are very typically higher margin than base products so having a way to enable adding them that does not add a connector to every unit has a lot of potential use cases.
They are inferior. No training, no ammunition, no morale, drafting in mercinaries or violent criminals with even less experience or preparation.
The only reason there have been advances have been down to this attrition.

Do you know how many were russians were lost in taking Avdiivka? All for Putin to have something to celebrate on the run up to his sham election.
Assuming you don't need fast steering, is a 3.7m transmitter array doing beamforming really better than a 3.7m dish transmitting at the same power?

My intuition would have been that you are better off using a fairly standard transceiver and spending your engineering budget either increasing power or getting a bigger dish (either by launching on a wider rocket or with a folding design).

Lasers might interesting for the downlink, but receiving a laser signal on the probe sounds difficult (earth is pretty bright).
The mapping from geometry and back to definition (code) is pretty weak in tools like OpenSCAD/CadQuery, compared to a parametric solid modeler like FreeCAD/Fusion360.
It is a very indirect manipulation, and requires people to "play computer" (to paraphrase Brett Victor). Only programmers can do it efficiently.
We deploy lambda using container images. We configure lambdas using terraform and deploy using GitHub actions.

We never considered using serverless or anything else because we also have ECS services, RDS databases, React frontends, and a lot more. It requires some knowhow to get a good setup, but it's hard to imagine anyone more opinionated framework doing what we want.

Fundamentals are universal. Do what you must.

[1] I wrote the original code but I am old and increasingly senile.

[2] I've not really been involved for ~20 years but unless the internal "renderer" has been radically overhauled, supporting anything like "real" CSS isn't really doable.
Apollo Agriculture | Engineering & DS | Full-time | Amsterdam, NL | https://www.apolloagriculture.com/team

Apollo Agriculture (YC F1) is bringing modern farming to the world's poorest farmers. Millions of farmers globally don't have access to the basic resources the rest of the world depends on for food production: good seed and fertilizer. We sell these on credit, use ML to figure out who we can lend to profitably, and are growing rapidly (two countries and growing).

We are a small, motivated team with SV roots and an ownership culture. Come help us make a real difference in the world!

Hiring for several roles:

- Software Engineer: Our core engineering team supports a wide range of tools and processes. Our primary stack is Scala 2 w/ cats, backed by psql. If you are an experienced and practical problem solver, we'd love to meet you.

- Machine Learning Engineer: We build and run several different models to determine credit eligibility, detect fraud, etc. Our ml engineers are hands-on and provide production-ready models for other teams to consume.

... due to our size and focus, we look for candidates who are experienced and can be autonomous -- at least at the "senior" level. Visa sponsorship is possible!
