They just added speed traps.
Also take into consideration the speed of evolution. LLM training might be much faster because a lot of competition power is used for its training. Maybe if it was the same speed as evolution then it would take billions of years, too?
You misunderstood. They (Google too) are precisely interested in selecting for folks who love drilling on mundane tasks so much that they’ll willingly devote hours upon hours to doing that very grinding you might detest. Because that’s approximately what the next N years of their life will look like…

One needs to cite a source for a claim that a particular criticism is widespread.
To prevent hacking. They do it today. Not necessarily forking, but there are audits.
It's also clickbait in that a question suggests something is unresolved, needing reader input to help with an answer. This exploits the general wish people have to help with unresolved things. Not sure if the wikipedia article mentions this I glanced briefly.
That would depend on what LLM are you using and the average tokens per answer. For example the average cost of the user query in my system is about 0.07 if you add 0.01 you are adding 15% per query (+-). Then, take into consideration how much value does RAG add to the answer Vs using other method.

Edit: typo in costs

Cooking up a neat resume has never been hard. Templates, free advice, paid services, friends and colleagues existed well before GPT.

The hard part of a resume is having the experiences to talk about. Either you've got it, or you lie, that hasn't changed.
While out of school activities are a difficult grey zone, the article talks a lot about in school activities as being examples of systematic repression of Apache culture.

But what exactly do you want from a Lutheran school? The article's constant red-herring about the race of "most of" the people at the school is draining. The issue is right there in the name of the school.
Rereading this, I should have added more context. Wikileaks can only publish what it's given, and there's no reason to suspect they receive much about Russia.

Imagine you're a Russian and you have information about the government that you want to leak. Would you give it to a primarily English speaking organization, with no Russian speakers on staff, that nobody in your community has ever heard of and has been alleged to have ties to Russian intelligence for years?

Or would you give it to a Russian speaking organization that has connections in Russia that could potentially help you if things get bad?
In practice this almost never happens. Most contract to hire roles don't appropriately pay you like you're a contractor (really should be at least 3x salary) and get worse/desperate candidates who will take an unsecure job with no benefits for 3-6 months.

Real human beings with real responsibilities are usually looking for fulltime work or they're running their own business and charging you for services.
What a bunch of whataboutism horseshit.

I edited the first event press mention of WikiLeaks at Wired.

I covered the early Guantanamo leaks and the Iraqi Apache attack.

I've interviewed Assange, likely before you ever heard of him.

I broke the story that wikileaks' submission system broke and its SSL failed, the first external sign of the internal dissent where its tech lead literally made off with the server because he didn't trust Assange.

I pointed you to an extremely reputable source showing what everyone knew at the time, which is that a Putin controlled media outlet paid for and claimed credit for funding his "talk show."

His Russian connections after that were perfectly clear, including routing Snowden through Russia and later being the handmaiden of GRU in the DNC leaks.

Keep putting your head in the sand with dumbass arguments like it's not in IMDb.

It's a fine line between being a fanboy and being complicit and it's pretty clear which side of that line you're on now.

Similar to what is discussed in the article, this basically optimizes for the most desperate candidates who can't get a job straight out of the gate. For starters, very few people would leave a good, full time job for a contract-to-hire position.
How many talented folks in the field will accept that kind of job insecurity? If my offer is between 500k+ TC or “do work for us until we feel like commitment and maybe you’ll be on your ass in the street doing all this interview bullshit in 12 weeks; maybe you’ll get an offer better than the competition — but probably not because we’ll be in a position of negotiating strength knowing you probably don’t want to interview again”, I know damn well which one I’m taking.

Especially because I was given just that choice a few month back.
Did you ever put anything “into production” and actually start using it? And if so, are you still using it?
I'm an American mathematician and have always allowed the codomain of a random variable to be any measurable space. I haven't noticed anyone mention random elements. I don't work in probability though, so maybe people directly in the field care more.
IMO, any strategy or attempt to filter out the "right" candidates can always be gamed that a change of culture is inevitable. Iron Law of Bureaucracy. You can delay it, but it will happen. Just look at Google today despite their massive investments in the hiring process.

I think if you really want to preserve your culture long term, you need to start looking to exporting your culture outwards into general society rather than filtering things in. Try to make the general candidate more like you in the first place.

I think the model is that of a "gateway drug".

While the long term intentions (infidelity) might be the same, social barriers prevent many people from taking it forward. Signing up on a website is something a lot of people do for a lot of things and making that the entry point to something exciting and forbidden is good marketing at best and psychological manipulation at worst.

For some (perhaps most) people, just creating an account and taking a peek is usually not enough to push them over but for many others, it's enough to start a chain reaction that will end up somewhere which will have real consequences for them and multiple people related to them. Not a good idea and a company that's making money off of this without even considering that is not very ethical in my estimation.
I recently bailed on their process. My reward for passing the leetcode gantlet would be a 50% chance that the offer would require uprooting my family and moving across the country. Ok, we’re done.

What is RHEL?
It would be great to have real world inference benchmarks for LLMs. These aren't it.

That means e.g. 8xH100 with TensorRT-LLM / vLLM vs 8xMI300X with vLLM running many concurrent requests with reasonable # of input and output tokens. Ran both in fp8 and fp16.

Most of the benchmarks I've seen had setups that no one would use in production. For example running on a single MI300X or 2xH100 -- this will likely be memory bound, you need to go to higher batch sizes (more VRAM) to be compute bound to properly utilize these. Or benchmarking requests with unrealistically low # of input tokens.
This is a fun little toy.

When being assessed for MMJ, my cardiac arrythmias were taken into account. I'm very prone to cardiac arrythmia (Brugada Syndrome), and THC _is_ causally associated with cardiac arrythmia. It's generally a problem with either naive users or heroic doses though. In turn, cardiac arrythmias in general increase the risk of stroke. Due to my general propensity for death, my medical team looked long and hard at this.

There seems to be little or no evidence of long-term cannabis usage increasing cardiac mortality beyond that of smoking (inhaling particulates and random aromatics). The improvement in my sleeping (yeah, I know, rem sleep blah blah, I get more than 2 hours sleep at a time now) reduces my cardiac risk along with the health benefits of being generally less stressed.

I actually think its a huge deal if this works as it unlocks use cases like real time AI video, instant natural voice agents, as well as probably a bump in reasoning (either one shot or for multi step processes) by techniques like generating 100s of answers and picking one.

yes - ultimately the big W is smarter models but this is a huge step up on this (local or global?) optima.
That's the problem with so many attempts to "correct" hiring. Especially for more senior roles, the best people you want to hire usually already have jobs, or they have a pick among different companies. Make the hiring process too onerous and you end up selecting for the most desperate people.

I don't know how you'd get a good signal from a "work-sample test" in under a week or so, in which case you've basically weeded out most of the people you want to hire.
Not sure but this sounds like Nobel Prize for Chemistry worthy work, any chemists thoughts?
I think the commenter was alluding to the 430 terahertz band.
I wrote a scraper that downloads 10-Ks from the SEC and then built a simple analysis based on high dividends/stock buybacks and a discounted cash flows analysis. It found some pretty undervalued companies that ended up doing fairly well over the last year, but not as well as the tech stocks.

As others noted the datasets are not really standardized even with the SEC Edgar data so there is a lot of massaging you have to do.

From what I’ve seen about this dance:https://youtu.be/uYjvVj6FOcg?si=Ve4tunupUGOrTikG

I really don’t understand why one would expel someone for this, even if they did it in their school break.

Googled it and thank the lord expulsions like these or even compulsory religion classes are actually illegal in my country. Still utterly insane.
Maybe I am unlucky, but I've been working fulltime for almost 30 years and I can count the number of well-run teams that I've worked on or known people working on with exactly zero hands. And the management of 100% of them acted like they were the best company on Earth to work for.

I have _heard of_ great teams, but even the one person I knew who worked at Pivotal ended up there long after things went downhill culturally.

No, the latter interviewers share the same biases already.

Where do you get the varied interviewers really? Is it from the same biased hiring process?
And luckily, this involves roughly zero time and effort. And carries little to no risk of fucking it up enough that you lose everything (see: margin, selling short, day trading, crypto).
Can you mention which startup was it?
No. I trade manually based on fundamentals, diversification, and limited downside options. I've lost interest and respect for quantitative strategies while I've worked for and run my own businesses. So consider me a failure here and this is only a story of how not to build a lightbulb.
I’ve never tried it, but it doesn’t sound terrible. As I approach 25 years in industry, what does sound terrible is more rote studying for interviews, and I don’t mean just leetcode. The idea of just giving the work a go in situ, and we either like each other or not, sounds sort of refreshing should I find myself job shopping.
Your solution is "change society" because you think that's easier than fixing your hiring process???

Yeah if you want good data, start collecting it now. I believe anyway the magic is outside the numbers. They are only a shadow on a cave's wall.
So your argument is that we should ignore the actual positive “sanity prevailed” outcome, and instead only focus on imagining what it felt like to be incorrectly accused of racism, before being cleared? I’m sure that totally sucked for a minute, which is why he apologized, though he did have a pretty massive wave of support, both locally and nationally, before the investigation finished. Anyway… why does ignoring the outcome make any sense now?

I did read the whole article (btw please re-read HN guidelines), which was designed to stir and highlight drama, as newspapers are wont to do. You’re right, the Atlantic story you’re linking to is downplaying the precedent and focusing on the controversy. Even though there’s not that much controversy.

I also read some followup too, obviously, since I wrote some details above about the story that your source doesn’t mention, for example that Patton was not disciplined and was cleared and apologized to, and that the dean who “excoriated” Patten also had to publicly apologize for his hasty & presumptuous email, and admitted he reacted too quickly.

You seem to be insisting on incredulity and outrage, when feelings got out of hand but nothing serious actually happened. That’s kinda the same mistake Patton’s students made.

The school is required to take accusations seriously and investigate. That’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. The dean handled it poorly at first, but people sometimes make mistakes. And it’s also good thing prof Patton was cleared. Almost everything worked like it should have. It doesn’t matter what you or anyone thinks about the validity of the student’s accusation, and the fact that the accusation happened is not somehow going to make anything worse.

Hey, it’s a free country, say whatever words you want, as far as I’m concerned, the consequences are yours to enjoy. You’re right that this shouldn’t have happened, and you’re right that the words we’re discussing did not originate from a racial epithet. But then history happened, replete with a lot of actual racism and words, and in reality new negative associations were formed between unrelated words. Bummer. But complaining about not being able to use one totally anachronistic word now that clearly sounds like a racial slur, and has been used as a racial slur, might seem a bit tone deaf. Arguing that choosing not to say one particular word is going to lead to many more and cause problems is an imagined and absurd end result.

My dad worked on the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes. Specifically the frame that held them to the rocket. It had to be light, strong, flexible enough to isolate them from the rockets vibration, and not resonate either.

Design, fabrication, and testing took 18 months. And he wasn't the only engineer working on it.
I had a friend get charged with cultivation in 1982 for 200 female plants.

His lawyer called in lots of witnesses that Geoff smoked a _lot_ of dope, and that it was for personal use. He also presented a petition with nearly half his village saying it was personal use, as he really smoked a _lot_ of dope. He also helped anyone with any task, and was a generally loved person, not a drug crazed maniac, but very very chill.

He was fined for personal use. This was Australia, not Brazil, but Judges are supposed to use discretion. The only problem is when discretion is code for prejudice, not justice.
>then find a better employer

What a clueless and entitled point of view.

Entire industries are almost exclusively Microsoft (basically all those that make the modern civilized world work: medical, transportation, semiconductor, logistics, automotive, industrial, architecture, infrastructure, CAD, etc).

Your choice then is unemployment. Not everyone is an app/web developer who can freely choose employers based on stacks and tools, end even then, not in a bear market. Most people wishing not to be homeless don't have the choice of saying no to employment just because they use Windows.

Your comment is the equivalent of "let them eat cake".
> So basically, you're saying it's not racist if it's true?

In a context like this, talking about cultural generalities, that seems valid.

> Still seems like a double standard to generalize your manager's nationality while calling his generalization of another nationality racist.

Not really. The problem isn't making a claim, it's about how believable and how extreme the claim is.

That description of saving face is a lot wilder than saying some people are insular enough to be prone to misperception of other cultures.
But these articles aren’t made to take ur input, they’re there for you to read when they ask a question. many of them you can’t even comment on it.
> I believe the idea is that it makes it very explicit to track provenance of code between environments, eg merge staging->master is a branch merge operation.=

That isn't quite my understanding - but I am happy to be corrected.

There wouldn't be be a staging->main flow. Rather CI would be pushing main->dev|staging|prod, as disconnected branches.

My understanding of the problem being solved, is how to see what is actually changing when moving between module versions by explicitly outputting the dynamic manifest results. I.e. instead of the commmit diff showing 4.3 -> 5.0, it shows the actual Ingress / Service / etc being updated.

> With directories you need to resort to diffing to spot any changes between files in folders.

Couldn't you just review the Commit that instigated that change to that file? If the CI is authoring the change, the commit would still be atomic and contain all the other changes.

> but if you have a workflow where hot-fixes can get promoted from older versions

Yeah 100%.

In either case, I'm not saying it's wrong by any stretch.

It just feels 'weird' to use branches to represent codebases which will never interact or be merged into each other.
So long and thanks for all the shoes!
> It is a pretty safe bet that if someone builds a supercomputer there is a business case for it.

These are not monopolies.

I've tried out Pkl which is similar in spirit, and I think it's a real solution for k8s manifests. The only thing holding it back is industry adoption imo. It's leagues better than Helm, and mostly better than Kustomize.

Skipping over my general dislike for schools being combined with any form of religion, what school should they go to?

Also why build a Lutheran school in an Apache reservation and not expect them to integrate some degree of their own culture into their new found Christian belief?

From what I understand this seems to be the closest school to them in their reservation. (citation needed)

But in general I can’t believe that one can be expelled in the 21st century in a western country under the reasoning of „doing something satanic“?!

What even is the definition of satanic? I actually want to doubt that that is their official reason of expulsion.

Given how the culture of every company I've ever worked for was a stinking, nasty, high-school environment and how the companies' values did nothing but encourage ineptitude and mediocrity, I'm glad that companies absolutely suck at exporting their culture as much as they suck at building it.

- I'm a 20+ year tech veteran with an award winning engineering background and a solid 20 year career in major (albeit Non-FAANGM companies) and I recently went through 5 interviews only to be told the remaining 3 interviews and 1 final onsite (which I need to fly in for) will be postponed to next month..

In the past 9 months that I've been looking full time roles, its been a series, 3-4 rounds of initial interviews, take home projects, etc so far to no avail...

Each time I'm afraid that some sharp 25-35 year old will get the job..

It really sucks that longevity, skill, wisdom and experience is valued so little by tech culture..
