You'd obviously need to make sure the persistence pieces and downstream components can also handle this. You could dump items onto a queue or utilize key value like Dynamo

A 1 CPU container isn't going to handle that many "app" requests unless you have a trivial (almost no logic) or highly optimized (like c static web server) app

Lambda apps don't need to take advantage of multiple cores since you get a guaranteed fractional core per request

One example is retail fire sales. I interviewed with a company that had this exact use case. They produced anti bot software for limited product releases and needed to handle this load (they required their customers submit a request ahead of time to pre scale)

Also useful with telemetry systems where you might get a burst in logs or metrics and want to consume as fast as possible to avoid dropped data and buffering on the source but can dump to a queue for async processing

These are all leadership solves. Not process solves, not spending solves. Leadership. It's ironic that consultancies like BCG – who are masters of technocratic administration, would post this!

Innovation excellence is great.

Technical excellence is great.

You also need soft-skills excellence; People who can find the right mix of skills, resources, and motivation. This is an actual specialty, and though it be steeped in the 'soft' sciences, a bleak reality of getting humans into groups to achieve a common goal. When it works well, you get the A-Team. When it doesn't you get Game of Thrones.

Yes, because that is more burden to ensure that it still fits my purpose, the intended goals, and that whoever it is, is doing it properly.

Which would be the whole reason I would put such a statement there, in the first place.

What are you even trying to argue with now? That I'm not allowed to get angry in the hypothetical that I made up? Do you see why it's fruitless to continue arguing?

Or are you going to pick out some prior wording and analyse it further, because you just can't comprehend that corporations don't have best interests at heart, and some people prefer to just put things up and not deal with other people's improvements
I dipped my toes in about 7 months ago with a 3-month-long project to make content recommendations using ML. I started with off-the-shelf collaborative filtering libraries and ended with PyTorch. ChatGPT was a huge help. I would have been OK continuing down that route, but execs wanted faster and better results, and 3 months is just enough time to really get a flow going when starting from no experience.

A lot of ML was cleaning up and preparing datasets, which wasn’t that much fun. I had an exec pushing for using Amazon Personalize, which I gave a good try but ultimately it didn’t deliver. Was that because of data problems or underlying models? That’s the crux of the problem when using black-box ML services: you can’t analyze what’s going on. And Amazon Personalize makes changing the data layer a pain, so you never know if you’re getting closer to a better solution. Who knows, Personalize is probably great in the hands of experienced ML folks.

So, if you can swing it, definitely recommend doing an ML trial project to see if you like it before committing your career to it.
What's the use of this paradox? Does it have any practical implementation?
To which I would add: different ways of setting it up have different consequences. The fact that this service is both reliable and free means that I have no incentive not to get my pump fixed when it fails, which makes it less likely that a failed pump will go unrepaired and leak raw sewage into the creek behind my house.

Big part of the problem is arguably alienation.

A janitorial job can be rewarding because you can see that you are making a difference in the world. You get to meet the people whose lives are improved by what you do, every day.

> they made the tough problems somebody else’s problem to solve

This is true. A lot of the problems that go with poverty simply moved somewhere else.

> engineering equivalent of redefining the system boundaries

I think Brainerd's we don't invest in poverty is an interesting stance because on the surface it seems to be just pushing the problem away... but if you look a little deeper, investments in large amounts of section 8 housing attract even more poverty, lower tax rates, thus creating blight, which lowers tax rates more, which requires more subsidized housing and so on. There is a death spiral for cities, and I suspect that over-investing in poverty is one of the forces that causes it.
Thankyou. Yeah i keep look into apprenticeships but realistically as aforementioned i need qualifications which i don't have yet but if I'm to gain them i may aswell spend the effort to go straight into employment with a buisiness directly.
If I can give any advice in this area in a late mid-stage career, find a way to have productive conversations with your supervisor/manager. After about a decade of working in IT, I felt burnt out and left to pursue a PhD. Pursuing a PhD was my high academic achiever's way of dealing with burnout by doing something more intellectually stimulating. But 10 years into a career in academia, the symptoms of burnout can still creep up. But I'm mature enough now to speak up and make sure that I can continue working at a sustainable pace.

> When you’re not the payer/customer, YOU. DONT. MATTER.

This is why I prefer local governments to be indexed to sales taxes, property taxes & income taxes. It encourages them to create economic activity.

I dislike it when local governments rely almost entirely on funding from central government. There's little incentive to create economic activity because it often creates more work in building infrastructure & social services. And less political incentive to improve public services, because you can always blame central government for a lack of funding.
Agreed, even with f# a first class citizen in the .net world, written, maintained and distributed by Microsoft, I still have needed to gain a working knowledge of c# to properly interact with the .net libs and third party libs (which I absolutely need to do as the f# ecosystem is tiny compared to c#). So at the end of the day I needed to learn two languages to atain my goal of learning one enough to be useful.

Disclaimer - I am still learning both - I am no expert on either - and I am still strugling!

> It's a lot better than homelessness though.

Yeah, I feel like more people in the developed world should go spend quality time with the least among us, the homeless, and folks in the developing world. A lot of people with burnout will find themselves skipping to work. Because at least you're not living in trees with insects and hollowing out a log to sail to another island to get your special needs kid to a doctor on another island 600 miles away. (one of infinite specific stories I'm familiar with).

If the goal is to facilitate client-side (bring your own data) scenarios, I'd make a proper native desktop app and take full advantage of the system. A hybrid something running in the browser feels like a compromise between both solutions.

I assume you see yourself in the educated and valuable group?

And consequently, your choices and happiness is more important than some poor rural farmer? This sounds backward and feudalistic to me. You deserve the outcome of 50000 people's choices the same way they deserve outcome of your choices.

Yes, I had one on my A3000 (which has a deinterlacer / scan doubler built in, so the old modes weren't a problem.)

Most Amiga modes are 15 khz. The average person with an A500 or A1200 would have a 1084S and get zero value out of the new modes.

It does get down to the central question behind all of this: can we assume growth indefinitely, or at least up to hard limits?

I propose we should, since any subgroup that doesn't grow will be overshadowed by groups that do. If propensity to reproduce has a genetic component it will be selected for.
I have no doubt that BCG will be more than happy to help anyone troubled by the implications of this "research" with an "engagement" to study and reduce burnout in their organization. For a nominal fee of course.

I have even less doubt that said engagement would not lead to more fulfilled employees given that the MBB consulting cargo cult has arguably given us the modern corporate culture that leads to such prevalent levels of burnout in the first place.

In what locale and at which time did humans have control of their leadership?
I think Office Space summed up the problem nicely:

"Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?

Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.

Bob Slydell: I beg your pardon?

Peter Gibbons: Eight bosses.

Bob Slydell: Eight?

Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired."

Most companies only care about the next quarter, or next investor call. Quality be damned, cut corners, work late. It's a never-ending series of death marches.
Good money yes, but i have engineering, game development, general programming, and audio analysis background. I figure though since these are all not very profitable, limited and don't bring as much enthusiasm as i once had to them that cybersecurity is a realistic role with goals i could strive towards with passion. Currently no work place i have found has allowed me to do so with good pay, job security and consistent work.

The funny/ironic thing is, all those items tend to be the first to go when management experiences personal burn-out themselves. I wonder how much burn-out is transferred downwards due to this phenomena.
Ac actual academic career is the WORST in terms of burn-out. I was writing paper reviews at 4am. People I know who are professors board planes with a pile of papers to read or review. Midnight meetings to discuss conference organization. Add in the pressure of publish or perish.

And may they do it, I don't care except for the weight of the little-used lines of code that are carried forward indefinitely. And it's not only 'append'; appending stuff we can without breaking backwards compatibility, it's the 'update' operations that curiously many view as infeasible despite there already being `'use strict'`.

I don't want to exotisize "blue collar" labor. That being said, I've always wondered if burnout ends up being more likely in roles where you feel like you're suppose to care.

Being bored all the time is annoying and sucks, but being in a thing where you feel like you _shouldn't_ be bored and yet are also sucks. Does it suck more? Not sure!

Carmel is an example of investing heavily into gentrification.
At least where I'm from, new HPC clusters aren't really asked for by the users, but they are "infrastructure projects" of their own.

With the difficulty of spending taxpayer money, I fully agree. I even think HPC clusters are a bit of a symptom of this. It's often really hard to buy a beefy enough workstation of your own that would fit the bill, or to just buy time from cloud services. Instead you have to faff with a HPC cluster and its bureaucracy, because it doesn't mean extra spending. And especially not doing a tender, which is the epitome of the inefficiency caused by the paranoia of wasted spending.

I've worked for large businesses, and it's a lot easier to spend in those for all sorts of useless stuff, at least when the times are good. When the times get bad, the (pointless) bureaucracy and red tape gets easily worse than in gov organizations.
I remember Red Hat 5 being not that great or usable either.
I used to think my burnout was from long hours, but I recently got a chance to work on a greenfield project at work and loved every second of the 60-70h weeks just building something really cool with a small team.

The burnout nearly vanished during this time and only recently has started to reappear and I have a much better understanding now of what causes burnout for me specifically.
Yeah no shit.

Corporate work has gotten a hellscape. Work got ever more compressed as ever more oh so minute details are being constantly tracked and evaluated - just look at Amazon warehouse workers, your average callcenter staff, or truckers, once the "kings of the roads". Take a second too long on the loo and your manager gets automatically pinged, third time and you're let go. Or if you're in IT, the rat race to the bottom that is called "agile" with sprint points whatnot. And on top of that comes all the surveillance software where every mouse movement, every key stroke is analyzed for performance, and on top of that come stack ranking and similar bullshit pitting employees against each other.

The trades don't have it much better. Private customers don't have much spare money left over so they let their stuff degrade until it breaks down completely which makes repair jobs much more complex and extensive, and the customers try to haggle on price wherever they can, landlords are notorious penny pinchers and large construction projects pit tradespeople from across the continent against each other, the cheapest bid wins.

And anything public service has it the worst - education is usually the first ones who get their budgets cut when politicians need to fiat money (often leading to teachers having to pay for their own classroom supplies or assisting the poorest of the poor children from their own paycheck), payment usually sucks compared to the private sector, you're subject to ridiculous public records requirements, and (for the Americans) should Project 2025 pass as planned, what used to be career track positions will now to a large degree be political positions, so anything as simple as a party donation can led to you getting fired.

> Is there an ML engineering practice that isn't focused on building models but more on managing/deploying/scaling models? i.e. can I avoid learning all the maths underneath?

I transitioned to this in 2018. It was called MLOps. I was a mobile developer before that. Transitioning was pretty easy at that time (it might be more competitive now). What I did: worked on an intensive ML project for myself and realized I enjoyed working across the ML stack. I wrote a blog post on the project here: https://www.nicksypteras.com/blog/aisu.html. Then I applied to an MLOps team and leveraged the project to demonstrate skills/experience. As for avoiding the math, you could probably get away with it but learning the basics will make everything way easier. I feel like without some basic ML math under my belt I would have been flying very blindly.

Maybe they should address the free cloud credits next, which are a great way to lock you in and kill competition. Just like the bundling of Teams, they might be good for (business) customers in the short term, but will only lead to future monopolies.

The Chinese Internet has already migrated more or less into the social media walled gardens, this will have huge impact on the type of AI that will be produced in China.

This is a large part of my experience of burnout. Perhaps not so much alienation, as i understand it, but what you say in your last paragraph resonates with what really sticks in my mind when I'm starting to feel burnout. I end up having to endlessly push the idea of the pointlessness of my work out of my mind and that becomes a form of additional mental 'overhead', so to speak.
Thank you for this, had no idea :)
Anyone uncomfortable with SIP should probably not be using macOS in the first place.
This sentiment seems a lot like the “you have it great, there are starving kids in X who have it much worse” meme I often heard growing up.

It encourages minimizing one’s problems, which can lead to all sorts of mental health issues. Thinking like this causes me to ignore real issues for too long, because someone else has it worse. It’s like gratitude’s evil twin of an emotion.

But we should respect ourselves and strive for better lives, even if they are already good compared to others.
An apprenticeship (which i currently have in engineering) is partially contradictory to this statement don't get me wrong, but I'm not learning any new skills and there is not much work... Additionally, whilst i possess the correct mindset i believe it's no use in my current field... especially when it's just cleaning... etc etc the list goes on really.
