It depends on a lot of things, including how much content you have to display and how much interactivity you want to provide.

If this was a work task, you would consider those things, plus time to deliver, cost and existing skill in React (versus need to upskill resources).

My advice would be to go through that process. What are your requirements, both from a functional and organizational point of view? From there, what options do you have to achieve the requirements? And finally, what are the costs, benefits and potential risks/rewards of both?

That level of technical analysis would be an excellent addition to a portfolio.
> Is the Apple user base THAT valuable?

Yes.

People love to hate on Apple, but it's a primo platform, because it's a billion people that are willing to spend extra money for stuff that many techs think is "silly."
The number of companies I've worked out where I said, "We can do that in the database with a view or a trigger" to be followed up by "Sounds Hacky" or "How do you saved that to Version Control" is staggering though. Modern programmers seem to be afraid of SQL.

They always aimed for a better embeddable story than Gecko. That and more parallelism in layout and processing.

Not safer, more like saner multithreading story. Safe rust isn't so much for security as it is safety in a parallel context.

I browsed with JS disabled by default for a long time so I would have seen nothing and clicked away. Unfortunately I don't do this anymore because every website uses JS for innocuous things now and most sites (not HN though!) would be hopelessly broken.

If you want to show off React, do a demo somewhere other than your main website. It's really offputting to see gratuitous interactivity on personal sites that just gets in the way of actually reading what's there.

A human can be less or more creative, there is always some creativity, but for a machine it is controversial to say if there is any creativity at all. Going from not very creative to very creative seems to be a much easier task than creating a machine with some creativity to begin with.

Anecdotally when I moved to the Netherlands I was making 50k and over two years later 70k at that same company with about 4 years of experience.
If you look at talent.io tech report and other resources the median tech salary seems to be closer to 60k (70k Amsterdam) for all experience levels, all categories, so with some looking around you can find much better than that.
How does this work?

I understand the issues with "baseline RAG", as I experienced them myself. They make sense to me, if I query "what are the major themes of this dataset" on a list of articles, and the RAG tries to find content that's similar to that query, it probably won't find much.

Why does GraphRAG find something here? What's happening with my query that it suddenly "matches" the dataset?

The rules are at the level of homes and the companies which supply them with water, of which there are a small number nationwide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_water_companies

Places are not incorporated in the UK the way they are in the US, so "the village infrastructure" doesn't (so far as I know) even get well-defined, which makes it hard to make national laws that prevent it being disconnected from a wider network if that's what the suppliers want to do while supplying some particular house.

At very abstract points, I think you have a point; but that is largely a failure to scale for any system. Consider holding a rock is not dangerous. Holding a coal is. Why do you think that?

Take that further and consider why people are hesitant to touch cooking surfaces? The answer isn't "because fire is hot." The answer is "because the purpose of cooking surfaces is to get hot enough to cook things and without knowing how long it has been unused, it is not safe to touch."

Then I'm confused about why you followed qntm from Antimemetics, which is already pretty bleak, but not enough to prevent you from reading Ra, which was somehow enough to put you off of his work forever. Why did you stop exactly there, reading more from an author who did something you don't like but not reading any farther to learn that he is capable of more?
It's the opposite in my experience. Anyone can write on a piece of paper that they have 5/5 CSS skills. The portfolio says what those skills really are. I've gone to interviews where people printed out all 20 pages of my portfolio, but surprisingly none where they printed out the resume.
Also, even though I believe people should be paid for the quality of their work, not their location, props for at least being the most transparent as possible about it.
I remember many of them from germany. As small vans, for maybe 6 to 8 people. As delivery cars, used by handyman/tradespeople/landscapers/gardeners, utility/cleaner cars driving through parks, car-free downtown/CBD, and so on. Until about a decade ago.

Nowadays I'm only visiting, and the picture seems to have changed somehow, they are still there, but less so. Most recently grocery deliveries by http://picnic.de come to mind. Don't know which brand/model that car is, but it looks 'Kei' to me.

At my work you can mark any issue with "won't fix". The issues are right pretty often though.
I wouldn't spend any time on a portfolio. No manager spends their time looking at that. You are not a UX designer and portfolio means nothing. Your best bet would be polishing your resume and LinkedIn profile -- that's where recruiters and hiring managers look for highlights.

If you want to do a portfolio regardless, especially for non job hunting purposes, do it however you'd like and spend however much time you want, ONLY IF you enjoy creating such a website. Otherwise anything that is not ugly is ok, and my personal preference would be to give the website a somewhat "modern" look, although not fancy.
You haven't provided enough context (if there even could be enough) to answer this question. You asked if it "would be okay". No one can answer this question for you. What does "be okay" even mean?

Focus on the content of the portfolio and don't sweat the invisible details.
That's typically _not_ what post-modernism is, that's at best a misunderstanding, but more likely a strawman.

The only point on which all post-modernists agree is a refutation of meta-narratives (and to be explicit: "here is no reality out there, it's all just human-created abstractions" is a meta-narrative).

A very, very charitable interpretation is that you are maybe conflating it with Frankfurt School of critical theory, because it is also somewhat used/based on psychoanalysis (sigh) (latest postmodernists use psychoanalysis way less, also post-modernism isn't built on it, contrary to critical theory). Postmodernism is mostly post-marxism though, while critical theory is mostly neo-marxist imho (also, i don't want to be too critical of Frankfurt's school, i think most of their bad rep is caused by bad vulgarization/pop-science, most critics i read don't seems to understand why it's wrong either).

I do think that the reason most people conflate the two is because of an idiotic canadian psychoanalyst who can't read (or at least, can't understand what he read), who _clearly_ has no degree in literature or philosophy, and try to appear smarter than he is. He invent citations of the books, and sometime state that Derrida mean something when Derrida hismself wrote the opposite. 8th grader would do better and their reading comprehension assignment. He is wrong. Read and think by yourself.

Almost no extra work at all. You can see the full transcript here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/9d7cbe02d448812f48070e7de13a5... - it really was just those two prompts, then I copied the result out into a document to test it.

I modified the HTML a tiny bit before publishing it - I set the font to Helvetica and added the note at the bottom of the page showing the prompt I used.

i totally agree with you. i am just trying to see it from the candidates perspective. these questions are so common that i don't think many would have any idea what you are really after. so in a sense it still feels like a trick question.

so i wonder if there is any better way to test for this.

when i was doing an internship once the boss asked me to take care of some task, and i said no, because i was going for my lunch break now. later that day i got berated by my supervisor for denying the bosses request. it was a pretty frustrating experience, but i was to young to defend myself.

on the other hand, in china, where people are typically very subservient at work, i once hired a student, who, after about 3 months of working with me had the courage to argue a technical question with me and stand his ground defending his opinion. he had never worked for a foreigner before, and he certainly would never act like that with a chinese superior. when he started he barely even spoke english (he could read and write it though) so i felt pretty proud that he was able to make that change while working with me.

the point of that story is that the initial response in an interview may not be an indicator of future behavior because the behavior can be changed by how i treat my subordinates, welcoming critical responses and encouraging different opinions.

Your changes have been saved, Bruce. RIP
I don't believe so. But even if there were, unfortunately, these things basically work the other way around.

If you can encode a problem in n states, and you know BB(n), then, as you say, you could use that to solve the problem. Trouble is, how do you know BB(n)? In reality, the only way to determine BB(n) is to go and solve all such problems; there isn't any other easier method that you can apply that would then let you get answers for these problems as a consequence.

So, the value of BB(n) will always be a summation of "we did all the hard work of solving all the n-state problems", not something you do separately to get those answers out.

That's a big problem though, mechanistic interpretability/explainability is really important for the whole "not wrecking everything" part of AI. You could also just hope AI stalls out or goes back to more hand-tuned Bayesian stuff, but hope is not a plan. Progress past standard analysis has been made, so I'm not sure how important this paper is.
it's very limiting probably too. likely they cannot have side contacts with competitors while having insider info in oai. also they likely cannot develop competing products themself. and obviously non disclosure. all this makes it a strong connection from both sides.

It will particularly in Victoria, which has highest number of residential gas connections (90%).

However, the primary dispatchable electricity generation comes from gas fired power plants. To say, Australia has a dependance on gas is an understatement.

Unfortunately, there has been considerable in-action and lack of investment mainly due to the main political parties having competing energy policies. The conservatives previously had a "gas led" generation plan, but due to the gas crisis they have switched to a nuclear-led proposal (Australia has no nuclear power plants, and no expertise in them). The current government is pushing renewables and storage, however progress has been slow due to land owners being unwilling to allow new transmission lines and environmental concerns about offshore wind infrastructure.

Meanwhile about half of Australia's energy comes aging coal power plants, whose live has been extended, all of which are due for phased retirement in the near future.

Nothing but Rust is safe from being attacked by the Rust zealots. It's been extremely annoying these last few years.
Criminal charges are appropriate in situations where a human (or group of humans) acts with malicious or reckless intent that harms (or could harm) the community. Self-driving vehicles reduce (but do not eliminate) opportunities for malicious or reckless acts related to vehicles. Criminal charges would remain appropriate in situations where an operator or manufacturer (and/or their employees) are malicious or reckless concerning a vehicle's design, manufacturing, or operation. It's important to note that just because someone was injured or died doesn't mean that there are malicious or reckless acts involved.

This isn't a novel issue: the courts and legal system regularly deal with defective products, including vehicles, that cause injury or death. If a defective product causes damage, the injured party is typically compensated financially for their loss. They even have frameworks for determining https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_life in monetary terms.
Feel the need to push back against the predictable nay-saying in here.

Announcing with Rust in the title is not because of a hype train, it's a way to communicate that this bundler is in the new wave of transpilers/bundlers which is much faster than the old one (Webpack, Rollup) which were traditionally written in Javascript and painfully slow on large codebases.

While the JS ecosystem continues to be a huge mess, the solution to the problem is not LESS software development ("Just stop making more bundlers & stop trying to solve the problem - give up!"). Or even worse - solve the problem internally, but don't make me hear about it by open sourcing your code.

The huge amount of churn and development in this space has a good reason... it's a desperate attempt to solve the problems that browsers have created for web developers. Fact is that most business has moved to the web, a huge amount of web development is needed, but vanilla javascript can compounds and compound in complexity in the absence of a UI framework and strict typing. So now you've added transpilation and dependency management into the mix - and the user needs to download it in less than a second when they open a web page. And your code needs to work on at least 3 independent browser engines with varying versions.

SwiftUI devs are not a more advanced breed of developer than web developers. So why don't you see a huge amount SwiftUI churn and framework/compilation hell with native iOS development? The answer should be obvious. These problems are handed down from on high

The browser/internet/javascript ecosystem despite its glaring warts is actually one of the most amazing things humanity has created... a shareable document engine grew into a global distributed computing platform where you can script an application that can run on any device in less than a second with no installation. Not bad.
A reminder that the vast majority of Mozilla funding comes from Google who are an advertising company.

A reminder that years ago they were paid by an advertising firm to secretly install a plugin for a TV show. When someone raised a bugzilla bug about it, the project manager for the plugin (who herself had come to Mozilla after a career in online advertising tech...) marked it employee-only. Another employee reversed that, and then someone at the highest levels of Mozilla leadership changed it to a level that made it unviewable even by employees.

In this case let's assume that the weights and biases of, say, a neural network are fixed and the model is already trained.

One way of thinking about explainability is that it deals with determining for some input data how much each feature is contributing to the final outcome (e.g. variable 1 and 2 contributed x% and y% to the final inferred value).

You're correct to suggest that when you backpropogate residual error there are also non-linear interactions between features and that will affect how much each variable is contributing to the updated weight value (in fact that's kind of the point of a deep network ;).

"weon" is a corruption of the word "huevón", that means literally "big egg".

Is a polysemic word, but when used as adjective means "somebody with big balls"; by extension "somebody that spends the day sitting on their own testicles, unable to carry them"

So a huevón is "a lazy lad", "a douchebad" or simply "a dude" (colloquially and vulgar, but also playful if applied to a close friend).

The word is a minefield, some people will feel amused, other insulted, and is a faux pas with women. Better avoid it unless you know what you are doing.

The challenge is that Australia is big, really big. The population is sparse and mainly lives in a few coastal areas.

The parts of Australia that have gas and are exporting it (the west and north), are quite distant from the parts of Australia that are running out of gas and need it locally (the east and south).

In this scenario, it's easier and cheaper to use existing export terminals to send ships to those other parts of the country that need the gas. Unfortunately the optics of doing this is bad.
