That's interesting, it appears I may have been slightly mistaken.

As per https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/USB:

> To access SMART functionality, smartmontools must be able to send native ATA or NVMe commands directly to the drive. For USB devices, at least the following conditions must be met:

> The USB bridge provides an ATA or NVMe pass-through command.

> This command is supported by smartmontools.

> The operating system provides a SCSI pass-through I/O-control which works through its USB-layer.

> SCSI support is implemented in the operating system interface of smartmontools.

So in some cases, it may work depending on the USB chipset capabilities. I haven't gotten it to work on my old supermicro.. yet :) Cheers.
BLS itself tracks indicators down to far smaller granularity than "the entire labor force." Here are all monthly releases for employment: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.toc.htm

There isn't anything that drills down to sector-level, but the employment situation by occupation is probably the closest: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t13.htm

It doesn't get as far down as software or computing-related occupations, but these would fall under the broader "professional and related occupations." This seemingly encompasses most white collar work and it has the third-lowest unemployment rate, behind only maintenance and repair operations and management and finance.

Obviously, a lot of what you feel is happening will be colored by the particular people you know. It's probably wrong to even think of that as "tech employment." My wife and I both work for software companies. I don't personally know anyone who has been laid off in the past year. But I live in Texas and we both work in defense software. San Francisco adjacent web tech is not the entirety of "tech."

I'm trying the reflex.dev tool to create a simple web app. It allows me to bypass writing JS (it's pure Python code compiled to NextJS).

I want to minimize the time it takes from making changes to my app to seeing them reflected in the final product. I don't have much experience running dockers and VPS's. Reflex offers a deployment solution but they won't allow us to use custom domains and they don't fully support all backend operations like databases. That's why I was looking for self-hosting options.

The “authorities” aren’t “in the pocket of politicians.” But we have seen all over the developed world that they’re human, and not neutral, and suffer from their own ideological biases. Moreover, the “fact checkers” tend to come from the same social and economic class, which heightens their biases.

If it supports Vulkan 1.2, then it basically supports most of DX12 as well. Very famously Intel's ARC GPUs had terrible DirectX drivers, but good enough Vulkan support that DXVK simply ran better: https://youtu.be/wktbj1dBPFY

As time goes on it feels like native and up-to-date DirectX drivers aren't necessary, even on Windows itself. The era of kowtowing to a d3d9.dll is over; the SPIR-V recompilation era has begun.
...yes. My damn phone autocorrected it.
Seconding this. Not as a qualified frontend dev, but as a backend dev forced to learn frontend in a short time frame.

Work required some frontend tools with no devs available and I was assigned the work. The folks who would usually do that work were pushing me towards React, Vue, and Jquery solutions. I took a look at each, knew I would be responsible for understanding and maintaining the whole systems, and went with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS instead.

Started out returning simple pages. Added styling to meet requirements. A lot of it was embedded in <style> tags until I found a way to organize it into separate classes. Then added JS for event handlers, listeners, and scripting the simple the pieces that needed to be automated.

That system has been running in production for years now. New features and bugs are easy for me to identify and add or resolve. It's also given me a solid base understanding to migrate components to JQuery and build other systems in required framework. Zero regrets about that choice. It was simple to learn, quick to build, and solid.
We should also defenestrate whoever corrects the previous word or phrase based on what you just typed in iOS. The amount of times I've meant something very technical or specific to a field that a programmer in silicon valley has never heard of and then had that corrected to something else totally meaningless by the second or third word is an infuriating waste of time.

Even if it's fine for some use cases, it sounds like a poor fit for your needs.

The entire sequence is processed by the transformers to make the first predicted token. But that processing of the entire sequences is comprised of processing :n, and previously :n-1, and previously :n-2, etc cumulatively.

If tokens 1:3000 are the same you are going to be doing the same work processing them over and over; and then changing the results to adapt to the user tokens at the end.

I wrote a series of scripts that parse song names from my music blog RSS feeds, match them against my music service of choice, and then build 200-track playlists for me to consume. It's a great way for me to eliminate some of the drudgery of music discovery, especially in niche fields.

It's a series of Python scripts backed by SQLite and reverse-engineered API clients for various music services. Over the years I've switched the backends from Google Play Music/Youtube Music, to Apple Music, to Tidal.
It's unlikely that any of these systems are 'hack proof'. Physical access, and all that.

COPPA regulations are certainly a concern; right now we save no child data and have a COPPA compliant terms of use/etc. In the future we'll have to save data (if only so parents know when their kid is using their computer), but we're in talks with lawyers and will hopefully have more custom and thorough processes for it. We also only operate in the US which simplifies things.
At that point, why not just let Neuralink tickle the right brain regions - seems more sensible than literally stuffing food into your mouth. Also seems closer to being achievable than nano blood.

I "smartified" my Actiforce standing desk.

Originally, I found the up/down buttons to be mushy and unreliable to the point I got fed up. I just wanted to 3d print a new case to have nice metal buttons but I found out the desk supports a smart controller.[1] So I reverse-engineered the connection just enough to hook an ESP32 and buttons in parallel (either can control the desk) and add up/down actions to Home Assistant via ESPHome. And my buttons have RGB LEDs for notifications. 8)

[1] If I were a company, I would have bought the controller right away because their solution is certainly less janky than mine.

I've been a huge proponent of ALWAYS writing software just for yourself. But I'm also a fan of releasing that software.

I have a couple notable stories about that:

I had a friend that wanted to scan his album cover, and I'd always wanted a scanner, so I bought one and wrote some command-line software to do it. Then I applied that as an extension to the venerable Xv image software. Wrote it entirely for myself, ended up selling something like a thousand copies of it.

Recently, I was tired of Spotify so I wrote a Python program to export my playlists into YouTubeMusic. Released it on Github and it now is by far my most-starred project, I figure it's helped at least a thousand people move away from Spotify, I've had a bunch of contributions to it and have had several people throw money my way.

Write for yourself, give to the world.

I have a few calculators too.
I recently made a cli chatgpt interface. Quick hack in Rust, always planned to clean it up, not entirely sure where the source code is for it anymore but I use the compiled binary all the time.

I think it's arguable that it's political persecution of the opposition when they are literally breaking into the White House and stabbing its guards with flags, but you do you.

No what I mean is, why is it that Democrats, those of the '68 Chicago riots, sit-ins, Occupy Wallstreet, etc., are the ones saying "Nobody is above the law"? That was always Republicans when I was a kid.

You can't blame Kagan or Sotomayor or Brown for persecuting the opposition, they haven't been a part of whatever you're talking about. They're just the ones saying that they don't want the president to be a king.

And this is good no matter what party you like best. There are three branches, they're supposed to be a check against each other so that no one branch one can attain supreme power. Congress has already abdicated so much power[1] [2] to the Executive branch that honestly the Judicial is our last chance to restore those checks. And they're failing.

And if you think political persecution of the opposition will be over once Trump is re-elected I recommend reading some of what he's said about exactly that topic, then think about how it relates to this Supreme Court decision.[3]

Worth noting, you don't HAVE to use the embassy HALs with the embassy executor. However, AFAIK, the only mainstream non-embassy HALs that supports async is the ESP32 HALs.

There's no technical lock in, it's just that everyone I've seen implementing async support (outside ESP32) tends to do it within the Embassy project today. That may change over time.

If Recurse sounds fun and magical to you - it is! And you should consider applying :). You can always defer your acceptance until the timing works out. It's free (they make money via job placements, but when I applied I was clear that I wasn't looking for work). I've been meaning to write a blog about my time there - here's what I would want to say:

The best thing that Recurse (RC) did for me was help me get in touch with my own taste. When I arrived I was making games that were pretty "normal" - Flash-style games with high scores and weak themes. While there I got weird. One of my first projects was an abuse of the OpenSearch spec to make a version of Wordle that ran in the Firefox address bar[1].

It was the perfect place to build something like this - folks were encouraging and supportive and interested; it made me realize that people were interested in the type of thing I actually wanted to do. I think I shipped 8 games during my 12 weeks at RC. I wouldn't have started making the types of things I now make without RC. I think plenty of folks have similar experiences across all sorts of techy things, not just games. Kinda like finding product-market fit but for your own interests.

RC also connected me with a bunch of folks that were doing similar things. The community is huge and kind and weird in the best way. It is like a writers' retreat but for people that want to program (and become better programmers).

I am probably coming off as shilling RC hard and I suppose I am (although I'm not being paid for this - I'm just a grateful alum). I'm literally typing this from the RC space right now (I occasionally stop by to chat with people in batch and work).

Out of curiosity, what are the design changes you've introduced into TT-RSS? I've been using it for about 15 years as well, and often get frustrated with the over-opinionated design philosophy of the project myself, so have made a couple of tweaks to my own install, but nowhere to the point of maintaining an entire fork.
I'm not surprised the Adreno numbers didn't hold up as well as the rest of the Snapdragon benchmarks. Back in 2013 the Dolphin team blogged about their terrible experiences with the Adreno drivers and vendor support[1]. Ten years later in 2023, the same team blogged about how those same continuing issues led them to completely replace the official Adreno driver with a userland alternative[2].

As it stands today, the only credible names in ARM SOC GPUs seem to be Apple (M chips) & Nvidia (Tegra chips).

Modern cars certainly have improvements in those areas; I'm not dismissing that. Just... the engineering and tolerances didn't 'have' to be as good. The performance numbers weren't nearly as good - that afforded a lot.

They were primitive, and if the manufacturer chose it to be, robust as a result. The alternative was cheap.

Like the Death Star meme, every mechanical thing has a weak point. Well-designed cars put the stuff that breaks in cheap consumable parts in an easy to reach place.

That last piece can have more impact on the price of a repair than the part itself

I write various software tools to aid with running various role-playing and/or war games. Many I wrote before online code hosting was really a thing thing[1] and all of those are lost to the depths of time. For more recent tools, depending on how litigious a reputation the RPG game publisher has some were made public.

1: SourceForge launched in 1999; a lot of what I wrote predates that. Also CVS in 1999 makes git today look user-friendly; I didn't successfully get CVS to SF setup until around '02.
Not financial advice:

Also having an investor base that demands removing as much equity compensation as possible. (Whilst, IMO, not being aggressive enough to cut executive compensation)

But it's no surprise that when you ask management/executives "who needs to be laid off", the answer is not that many managers/executives...

I do think Kho is the right person for the job though, and Aidan was surprisingly smart too, so I my[1] bet is that they'll get there.

I've made https://sprig.land, a webgpu-based game engine and have plans to transpile the whole thing into a new visual scripting language I'm inventing but I'll eventually share it and do want to make games with it.

That's about the cost of energy, not about the consumption. If you don't think the cost of gas is worth it, you don't use a car. If you don't think the cost of electricity is worth it, you don't use an LLM. It's literally priced in.

I know people don't mind the cost relative to the value they're getting, because if they did, they wouldn't use LLMs.

I feel that if the language is a challenge to work with, it better give you your money’s worth. In 2024, there are plenty of other languages with better ROI, if you want a challenge.

In any case, I think the primary goal of any programming language is to get out of your way and let you tackle more interesting problems related to the problem domain that led you to start writing a program in the first place.
> If you follow the unfiltered war reports there are thousands of videos of Ukrainian kidnappings and zero Russian.

The WaPo article has direct video evidence of at least some. I follow a wide variety of unfiltered news sources about the war, and "zero" is a bald lie.
