I am a recent IT graduate from India seeking full-time software engineer positions, preferably remote. I have experience working with LLMs, fine-tuning LLMs, RAG, open-source software development, machine learning, and web development. Recently, I worked at SAS as a Gen AI intern, I have done the Google Summer of Code at the Eclipse Foundation and worked as a full-stack intern at Eutech as well in the past. I am passionate and dedicated, with a current focus on Generative AI and LLMs.

I am only interested in full-time positions, not contract roles. However, I am open to research positions or internships that involve publishing research papers. Feel free to reach out to me.

Thank you.
Others have provided better answers than I could have, as I don’t remember clearly enough.

What I do remember is that until I understood what I was trying to do and why (mostly error handling around edge cases, all specific to the app), I couldn’t really grok the various object management calls, but that once I’d done a few rounds of PoCing and RTFMing, everything fell into place.
I'm not convinced society would be able to recover after a collapse. We've extracted the easy to get resources already and what's left is extracted and refined with some really advanced technology. We can recycle a bunch of stuff, but that will only get you so far. On top of that, most of our knowledge is stored digitally, much of it in proprietary formats. If we don't somehow manage to recover it before the existing expertise dies out (assuming enough of it survives the initial catastrophe) we may not get it back for a very long time, if ever.
> If I was writing something for myself, I'd not be sad that someone had beat me to it

The reality is that you’ve already been beaten to the punch by something in almost every situation. If you’re automating something for the first time in history then the preexisting manual method is your initial competitor. In the case of the app in the article they’re competing against that other app but also every other possible patchwork of partial solutions that their target customers are already using.

Additionally, if you are the first mover then you’ll quickly have competitors rise up and eat away at your advantage without your effort to stay ahead competitively.

So, since you’re always scooped then don’t worry about being scooped and since competition now or later is a certainty then instead focus on your competitive advantage. The author came to this realization in the end, bravo and good luck!
Like with roads rail requires a lot of maintenance if you put the heavy load on it. Having to shut down the transport periodically isn't good for business.

Perhaps with containers on rollers it is possible to replace one without shutting everything down. Kinda interesting puzzle, the rollers should fit in the containers. A telescope would make them to weak, picking up the old roller, rotating 90 degrees, bringing the new one, rotate 90 degrees, drop it in place.
Agreed. My primary motivation to be more productive is to free up work time for personal use. That's it. When I become a 10x developer and effectively work 1-2 hours a day I keep that to myself as a closely guarded secret. I know I will not receive 10x more pay for that increased productivity and I also know as I mention it the institution will find a way to take it from me for any number of unproductive reasons.

Biggest issue is surely speed?

Computers are measured in MHz and GHz. How do you even get close to that using mechanical means?

Speed is also a core value proposition (to use contemporary parlance) of computers I.e computers can carry out calculations at a rate of MHz/Ghz. If you want to talk in any meaningful sense of “computation”, and the usefulness thereof, speed of computation is a key metric.

I reckon cooling would be an even bigger concern than it is currently.

Absolutely, my point was that if the theory I responded to were true, I would expect that the most successful new news organizations would be less biased/narrativey than the NYT. Do we see a wealth of new organizations that are that way? __maybe__ the free press but personally I find them the most narrativey of all.

The distance between the known examples of early art also further pushes back the date when humans became capable of art. Unless you believe that people from Indonesia painted this art 51,000 years ago and then migrated to Europe, and thus brought art to Europe via migration, then instead you would have to believe that the artists who eventually arose in Europe and Indonesia had a common ancestor who was capable of art. If we have art in Indonesia at 51,000 years ago, and art in Europe about 35,000 years ago, and if the last common ancestor of those 2 populations lived 100,000 years ago (hypothetically) then you'd have to believe that humans have been capable of this kind of art for at least 100,000 years.
Looks great! I don't understand how you minimal-key-count types manage, but that's a me thing.

I'm taking the wrist pain comment as a jumping off point to remind those of us who type a lot (surely a comfortable majority!) that a major part of ergonomics is technique. Finding the right equipment for you is a part of that (I use an ergo split myself), but no keyboard can compensate for bad technique.

As an example, I always wince when I see a wrist rest involved in a setup. Wrists should not rest! Proper technique keeps the hands floating above the keyboard, with minimal or no wrist flexion (flexion is in toward the inner wrist) or wrist movement. Excursions from the home row should proceed from the elbows, not the wrists. Even a small amount of extension (opposite of flexion) is bad for you, stretching the tendons which are flexing to type keys.

Palms perpendicular with the keyboard, about two inches above it, and be sure that your rest position has no wrist extension! Flat is ideal, a bit of flexion is ok. Good keyboard technique is much the same between the piano and typing keyboards. Palms perpendicular means that if the keyboard surface is tilted toward you, fix that. A single-piece keeb should be level or point slightly toward the screen, and a split should be tented.

It's fine to rest your wrists on something: when you aren't typing. When you are, it is not fine at all. Once serious RSI and tendon inflammation sets in, there's no going back, it's a condition you'll be managing for years, if not the rest of your life.

If you're experiencing any discomfort typing, or after, by all means look into equipment. But also, please, immediately give some focus to your technique. Identify specific keyboard actions that violate the "do not move the hands from the wrist" rule, and focus on not doing them. Backspace is a common offender, to the point where I mapped caps lock to that key in response to shooting pains in my outer right wrist.

To land this back in the thread: laying out all the keys so that no hand (not wrist, hand) movement is necessary, like the keyboard in the Fine Article does, is certainly one way to prevent wrist movement. I think it's super cool that you worked out a spacing which is right for your hands, too. Even a keyboard like this can't help you if you type from a wrist-extended position, but it surely makes it much easier not to do that!

But for those of us with keyboards where you do move your hands, please, for the sake of your future self: move your hands from the elbows, not with wrist bends. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it, and the difference is night and day.
Oh wow. I went though some of the perl book you linked and I was noticing the examples were really familiar; I then realized you were the same guy who wrote the awk book I have been going though.

> front-end devs don't know how to think declaratively and think in terms of state transitions instead of realizing intent

There is a thing among park rangers where “if people are taking this shortcut despite the signs and fences, then it’s the trail that’s wrong, not the people”.

More software engs should think this way instead of “educating harder should solve incompetence”.

It’s not that people are incompetent. The trail is wrong.

We are building kit cars and plan to develop a car we can homologate. The usability of controls are something we have been thinking about for a while. It's interesting that a user operation manual is required from manufacturers here in Canada but i'm not sure how frequently new car buyers familiarize themselves with the operation. The people I speak with want physical controls without touch screens. One thing the article mentions is that customers are bringing their vehicles back to dealerships i'm not sure if this is to return them or not.

> if you go searching for ladybird on Mastodon you will find that there’s quite a bit of ill will

I followed your suggestion and took a look at this.

Let's call the situation what it is: Someone with a few followers on Mastodon saw a reason to harass an individual, with the reason itself being secondary in nature.
What happened there is called brigading, which is rightfully a bannable offense in many moderated online communities, even those many would (rightfully) consider very toxic in nature.

Pretending that this 3 year old pull request with a one (!) word change was actually of deep interest to the people involved seems pretty dishonest.

The fact that this absolutely trivial PR is enough to gain so much traction in certain circles that they gather to sling hurtful tirades at someone and call them names in order to hurt them....why would anyone want such a community interacting with a project?

Why would anyone want such a toxic crowd near a project?

Seems so weird in retrospect that Microsoft wouldn’t have seen the value of an easily composable and programmatic way to configure anything in Windows and their other important enterprise applications like Active Directory and Exchange. The idea that connecting with Remote Desktop and clicking around with a mouse was suggested as an alternative strikes me as absurd. Especially because automating that sort of thing (at least based on my experience using autohotkey and window spy) is horrendously difficult and annoying.

Normally, nothing. The invalid UNIX timestamp can still be converted to a (also invalid) UTC timestamp, without needing to know whether or not it is valid. However, when you want to convert to a SI timestamp (e.g. in order to add or subtract a number of SI seconds), then you do have to consider it; in this case it might be an error.

Similar things apply with a positive leap second, although in that case the result is not an error. However, for positive leap seconds, when you are converting a UTC time in parts, into the UNIX timestamp, there is an additional time 23:59:60 for some dates. This can still be converted, although if you have a separate field for nanoseconds (or other divisions of a second) in the original UTC timestamp, then you will have to either subtract one second from the subsecond divisions, or change :60 to :59 and add one second.

And, then again, you will also have to consider the leap second when dealing with SI seconds, whether they are positive or negative leap seconds. You will get the wrong answer if you fail to consider leap seconds either way (although in the case of negative leap seconds, there might not be a "right answer" in some cases).

But, even if you do not consider these things, the timestamps will not be off by more than one second in either direction; this is not normally a problem, although in some cases it might be (which are the cases when it will be important to deal with leap seconds properly).

> Documents released by the agency show up to about 450,000 barred owls would be shot _over three decades_

15k animals per year doesn't sound like all that much.

I doubt it'll help. The spotted owls live in old growth forest, 90% of which has been torn down for farmland, lumber, and suburban sprawl. What's left is disconnected and vulnerable. Killing off some other owls won't change that.
I've never understood the need for a distinction between artificial and natural selection. Humans have needs based on our genetics and environment interactions that lead to other selection pressures. Humans are of nature, it seems pointless to call it artificial.
That's gonna be incredibly slow on most developer machines. node_modules, __pycache__, Cargo target/ folders, Yocto build folders, .git folders, etc etc etc -- all my machines which are ever used for development end up with such a gargantuan amount of small files across the filesystem that any operation which involves iterating through all of them takes forever.

Besides, there are .DS_Store I really don't wanna delete. Notably, there are git repos which have erroneously committed .DS_Store files; I don't wanna make those repos dirty by deleting them.
> There is a concrete complex number e^i:

Yes, that is true, of course. But consulting a Lisp REPL merely demonstrates that it is true. It does not explain why it is true.

You'd get further, pedagogically speaking, by pointing out that (e^i)^i = e^(i*i) = e^(-1) = 1/e, and so e^i is a number that is in some sense "half way" between e and 1/e when you are exponentiating. As an analogy, consider:

e^(1/2) * e^(1/2) = e^(1/2 + 1/2) = e^1 = e

as a demonstration that e^(1/2) is a number that is in some sense "half-way" between 1 and e when you are multiplying, a.k.a. the square root of e. But that still leaves unanswered the question of what "half-way" means when exponentiating rather than multiplying.

I try to refer to local time in an area I'm not in as <location>-time rather than the timezone's canonical name to avoid this kind of confusion. Then use a world clock to tell when that is. e.g. "That livestream should start at 4:30pm Vancouver time."

I don't mind email and password. With password managers it's really not a thing I think much about.

I open emails because I believe you spent time on me, which is precious, so I reply. If an AI generates cold emails, there's no real time spent, making personalization feel deceptive, which is bad for user experience.

AI spam emails will definitely happen on a large scale in the future, but on the optimistic side, we'll have AI assistants to read every email. Personalization won't really matter; it only matters if the marketed service is genuinely useful to me. In the future, if I have a need, my AI will find the best solution by considering many options. Previously, this was time-consuming, but now AI ensures we find the most suitable solution.

No fancy marketing will be needed because AI will filter most of them. In the end, marketers will find that the most efficient way to market is to honestly list out your service/product specs, as AI will compare them. On the other hand, for things I'm not sure I need, AI will help judge if they are indeed useful to me, regardless of how fancy the email/call is. If they are, it will facilitate cooperation; if not, it will skip them.

Therefore, marketing may still have a role: to help you discover things you aren't fully aware you need, and AI will help you decide if you really need them.

> I’m starting to wonder if post war America was this unique time in history

It certainly was re: journalism.

When we only had the big three TV networks vying for our eyeballs, they each used news as a way to attract the broadest set of Americans. The nightly news was a loss leader, in the hopes that we'd watch the rest of the evening's programming/ads on that network.

The "unbiased" business didn't really exist until someone could be in all of our homes building rapport with our families every night. And cable, then more so the web, completely disrupted that.

There used to be many, many more newspapers, with room for distinction as the paper of record for any given demographic. Radio, then more so TV, put an end to most of those.
Cloudflare should probably deprecate their Authy provider, considering they support other more secure MFA options (hardware and virtual WebAuthN). I believe Wise (ex TransferWise) and Plastiq also use Authy natively for SMS OTP server side, but provide no mechanism to disable SMS 2FA (boo).
