Will show you how an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) will view your resume, including how much management experience it thinks you have. It can take a few hours to get a response, but it's the only site I've found with a free ATS evaluation.

I've also been using these sites to find issues with my resume and they provide instant responses:

Data science / ML are using that. Databricks (data platform, data warehouse) have support to run notebooks in workflows on periodic basis.

There is market of professional use of them.
This is probably accurate.

But GenAI is a major upheaval. In most those, a massive amount of initial capital is invested, but the payoff happens slowly - only over decades. But the payoffs are huge.

Think about electricity. Building out the grid was HUGELY expensive. But then benefits are derived for decades. Same for the highway system, railway system, etc.

Did you read the post at all?

"Full disclosure: it's built with Electron. I originally wrote it in Swift but couldn't get the editor experience to where I wanted it. Now it supports autocomplete, multi-cursor editing, and moving the cursor between cells just like you'd expect from JupyterLab or VS Code"

I’m still hoping for something that is at least 80% as functional and integrated as RStudio is for R.
This is a great discussion with many a differing point of view.

To some, significant indentation is better.

Others — too used to braces — miss them dearly in Python.

Next ones, vie for the non-text source code, something to get us past these discussions altogether (editors working on .pyc files directly?).

For programs to be maintained, they need to be read, understood and improved. One—often undervalued—skill in programming is to write beautiful code, because that is more art than craft. And unfortunately, tools like Black prohibit the true artists from expressing themselves clearly with code formatting too. And to those, white-space or braces matters on a different level, and everything else is attempting to make up excuses for why one is better than other.

And while conceptual operations we do on the code seem simple on the surface, devising an editing tool that would do semantic operations on the AST is fricking hard and likely to be very non-ergonomic. Look at all the attempts to make code refactoring tooling: it's crazily complex and confusing that it's simpler to just go and grep for a string and fix anything you find.

As long as it's faster to use regular editing operations to shuffle code around, indent or unindent it (or wrap it with braces), tweak one thing here or there, simple text editors will mostly rule the world of programming.
Exactly. This is a pet peeve of mine, with the most common incarnation being: no, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park do not escape because the writers proved that chaos theory makes a dinosaur zoo mathematically impossible, they escape because otherwise you and I would not pay to see the movie.
maybe it's like a PCA/Huffman deal, where the more regularly useful ones get to be the eigenvectors.
There's a reason that "trivia" comes to us from trivium.

Once, in medieval times, rote memorization was a large part of the education process. This system was renowned for not producing flexible or imaginative thinkers. Medieval times produced very significant mathematicians, notably and mathematical advances actually detoured around medieval Europe, going from ancient Rome and Greece to India and the Muslim world and returning to Italy with the Renaissance.

I think people are trying to say memorising is critical, understanding follows, not leads. Sure, I think those posters framing things this way are incorrect. Problem solving may be something one learns and remembers but rote memorization, as in the medieval trivium, isn't significant part of such learning.
It's not all good just because you refund someone. You're also ending something they bought to fulfill a purpose. Making every device require a specific back end to continue working and making them unusable if the manufacturer no longer wants to provide that back end should be illegal. They should have to open the devices up. This practice creates so much unnecessary e-waste.
OP asked about ssh TO an iPad, not FROM.
Awesome summarization by someone who read and actually understood the paper.

> One way of increasing the density of the attention layers is to add more context. They show that simply prepending any token as context to a question makes the LLM perform better. Adding relevant context makes it even better.

Right, I think a more intuitive way to think about this is to define density: the number of _edges_ in the self-attention graph connecting tokens. Maybe a simpler explanation: the number of times a token had some connection to another token divided by the number of tokens. So, tokens which actually relate to one another and provide information are good, non sequitur tokens don't help except that you say

> They show that simply prepending any token as context to a question makes the LLM perform better.

I think this is not quite right. What they found was:

> pre-pending the question at hand
with any type of token does increase the intrinsic dimension at the first layer

> however, this increase is not
necessarily correlated with the reasoning capability of the model

but it is only

> when the pre-pended tokens lead to an increase in the
intrinsic dimension at the *final layer* of the model, the reasoning capabilities of the LLM improve
significantly.

I just finished "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser. Here's a little blurb I just wrote about it:

What a great book! Zinsser uses such crisp, engaging prose. He covers how to write, why to write, and what to write. He uses lots of examples from his own writing and from others -- good and bad. Stories abound. This is not a boring grammar book.

Here's a taste -- he starts the chapter called "The Lead and the Ending" with these stark statements: "The most important sentence in any article is the first one. If it doesn't induce the reader to proceed to the second sentence, your article is dead." Punchy and self-referential.

There's a decent amount about good technique, but it's more about style and voice. The second half of the book covers topics like "Writing in Your Job" (without sounding passive or using buzzwords) and "Writing Family History and Memoir" (that's actually why my brother lent me the book). And it finishes with an inspiring chapter on the craft of writing called "Write as Well as You Can".

If you want to learn to write better, read this book. If you don't, definitely read it.
I've actually seen one of these in person (the guy had it for free because he knew someone at Amazon working on the personal dogfood version).

I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was actually for, and neither could he, as it was basically solely a party trick for him. They don't even vacuum floors like a Roomba does!

The linked article talks about security patrols or whatever, but simply installing security cameras is cheaper and better. A robot obviously rolling along the floor is easy to avoid or to disable.
I've wondered similar things. Well, and sometimes don't have to wonder, because a lot of people hiring have all the awareness, social graces, and HR-savvy... of dirt... and will pretty much tell you that they only want early-20s engineers who will look busy for long hours and are unmarried and in no danger of having children soon. :)

You said you don't want management track. Do you want to just be only a rank&file IC software developer? What about technical lead of a project team? Do you have interest and experience in being a real Principal Engineer (potentially lots of cross-company technical responsibility, including direct with execs)?

If you just want to do "Sr. Frontend" or "Sr. Backend", I hate to say this, but, if your last several years of resume has enough of the keywords that people are looking for right now... maybe that's the experience that goes on your 1-page resume. The abbreviated version could be enough to get your resume past some shadowy unseen influence that is mysteriously filtering what resumes a great hiring manager sees. Nothing says you need to list every job you ever had, and you can always have a 2-page version you show the potentially great hiring manager. (Realistically, there are better individuals and teams than there are companies, so don't rule out a job because the company has ickier elements. Go for the manager and team first, and they have to see you.)

(My own situation is different than yours, because I'm targeting the role of startup technical co-founder, who defines and builds much of the MVP, and then grows into building and leading an engineering team. And advertising a big pile of experience is not only relevant to wise founders, but a very useful way for me to filter-out founders who don't value experience.)

(But when I look at an IC role at an established company, I still occasionally consider trimming the 2-page resume down to 1-page, and eliding some very relevant earlier experience that I was fortunate to have. Because I know I look a lot older on paper than I am in person, and I'm well aware of not-unusual biases in techbroland.)

This is nonsense. There's not enough demand for methane and methane itself is an even worse greenhouse gas than CO2.
go fmt is really nice, that there is A standard for the language which is just included. No more arguments, just do what the including tooling desires.

Python... I'd love if it shipped with a formatter that converted indents to braces, and then had an option for expressing indent as spaces (with number of spaces per indent) OR tabs (same, default 1); then still kept the braces.

While we get a lot of support from all three database related chairs at TUM we like to highlight that we are an independent non-profit initiated, founded and run exclusively by students (which includes PhD students like me by now). We were founded with the main mission of making sure normal bachelors and masters CS students know about the high quality database research at TUM with projects like HyPer and now Umbra.

The following (contrived) JavaScript code does not work:

let x = 5
(function() { console.log(x) })()

The equivalent Go code works:

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
x := 5
(func() { fmt.Printf("%d", x) })()
}
Haskell also inserts semicolons, but it has a different rule, which I think is a bit interesting.

If the current line starts on the same line that the previous expression started on, then a semicolon is inserted at the beginning of the current line. There are also some messy rules about opening and closing braces being inserted.

So, this:

do expr1
expr2
do expr3
expr4

Ends up being parsed as though it were written like this:

do { expr1
; expr2
do { expr3
; expr4
}
}

If the next line is indented, it's just taken as a continuation of the previous line's expression, so nothing needs to happen.

It's also not necessarily super easy to refund money to a business. I know that accounts receivable at my company is a serious pain in the ass, and it's not a given that refunds on anything purchased via PO are gonna be easy or quick. And of course there are restrictions on how you can purchase things that might easily have required these to be bought via PO (rather than corporate CC).

When I learned to program I was working as a scientist. I was relying on OriginLab (a scientific version of Excel) for my data analysis and it was a real pain. I decided to start using python for analysis and plotting and started with scripts and terminal interactivity, but found it too clunky. Jupyter feels more interactive when you are working with data because you need to explore the data and experiment with data manipulation in a way I found quite natural to do in a notebook.

Since then I've moved into software development where I rely on my IDE for any coding that involves working with more than a few modules. And as I got better working with an IDE I did gravitate toward making a script for certain kinds of tasks where I use to reach for a notebook, but there are still many data analysis tasks that I would much prefer a notebook for.

It's also quite nice to share a notebook with someone to show them how you arrived at your conclusions, and it's nice for them to be able to take your analysis and modify it or test their own ideas on top of yours. Obviously the notebooks are not great for collaboration without some fiddling around with git, but they are still very good for this kind of collaboration.

LoRa is just a transport layer. You can do whatever encryption you want and LoRaWAN has some basic encryption built in. It's hard(er) to triangulate if you don't have constant traffic (like route updates in mesh, or heavy concentrated users like at a concert or protest), but be aware that AWS sidewalk (and all the alexa devices fielded in peoples homes, etc.) run LoRa antennas and traffic. So in the US, Amazon could do a reasonable job at triangulation of frequent emitters. In China and EU there is infrastructure in place (5G/SDR stuff overtly) that can do a pretty good job at triangulating a wide band of RF emitters.

Meshtastic is not really designed to avoid that, but more for resiliency and off-grid type scenarios. Your best bet of really avoiding triangulation by state or telco level infratructure is to get creative with frequency and even transport layer hopping. None of which is really consumer friendly.

[edit-to-add] another tactic to for low probability detection is to hide in noise on high traffic channels. basically figure out what their filter sensitivty is and see if you can go below that threshold and still maintain coherent channel, etc.
LLMs are trained to predict the next word in a sequence. As a result of this training they developed reasoning abilities. Currently these reasoning abilities are roughly at human level, but next gen models (gpt5) should be superior to humans at any reasoning tasks.
I agree. It reminds me of ~2015 when me and friends would get a little high and just sit around and search for "My First Vlog" on YouTube, sort by new, and watch whatever random stuff was uploaded just for fun.
Imo there hasn't been much of a point except as a share-only format since vscode’s Python extension could natively handle comment-delimited code cells. You get all the benefits of a Jupyter notebook while still just writing a plain text file.
These devices are heavily dependent on software running on servers in Amazon's cloud. They're being bricked only because those servers are being turned off because continuing to maintain the server software would be expensive and not to Amazon's gain.

This is practically the same management that produced Fire Phone. It's actually quite something. This division of Amazon management produced Fire Phone, was forgiven and produced Alexa to superficial success so were allowed to then produce this.

>>> Ability to ssh and use the iPad like a netbook

Note the order of the words and the comparison to a netbook. They did not ask about "ssh TO an iPad" (also, no need to shout, you can always use *to* to get to). In the comparison to a netbook, the use-case is ssh'ing from the device to other devices. Netbooks being a category of laptops that were small, generally underpowered, but typically with good battery life, great for mobile access to remote servers and workstations.

> We beat the Turing test!

I guess? It's very clear that the Turing Test is not a sufficient benchmark for intelligence, though, because a lot of the answers I get (far too many, compared to a human) are nonsense, technically. They feature correct grammar, and they sound correct, but are very, very wrong. In fact, a lot of the responses I get are simply catastrophically wrong when I ask technical questions. I wonder what else these things are wrong about? There's no way it's merely technical stuff, where usually there are only a small number of correct answers, if there are multiple correct answers at all.

My employer has bots in Teams which have been trained on years of questions and answers and the answers they give are so incredibly wrong that we've replaced them all with fixed-response automation. GenAI has been a severe disappointment, even for me, and I had almost no hopes for it at all and have poo-pooed the technology from the start.

> You can drive around in a self-driving car!

Can you? Really? Or do you need to be there to prevent the car from doing stupid things? The only fully self-driving vehicles that I know of either follow fixed routes, operate in a small, fixed area, or do not carry humans at all. Another example of where many AI promises were made, and the results have simply failed to materialize.

Generative AI, at least for anything useful, has been a severe disappointment for me. Even if I spent $0.01 per year on it, I would consider it a waste of money.

Probably more about keeping distant sea lanes like the Malacca Strait open in the short term, until the overland routes are more developed. After which, carriers are a waste of resources.

Otherwise I'd say it's just as silly for China to build obsolete carriers as it is for the US to keep building them.

Missiles outrange carriers which in turn outrange battleships. The battleships became obsolete in 1941. The carriers became obsolete in the early 2000s.
I think it boils down to “text is good _enough_” (80% of the value, 10% of the complexity if even that), and it’s a format that’s incredibly interoperable. You can use tools that aren’t just language agnostic, but are not even programming-specific: notepads, grep, git, sed…
> As long as they refund people it's all good.

If you are a business owner who bought one of these and happy with the device would you be “all good” with a refund?

There are costs associated with fielding new tech. At the minimum now people have to evaluate and install some new tech/service. Possibly you are now scrambling around to get a new guard service which can keep your property secure, perhaps at an elevated rate. At the worst your property is going to be burglarised because of the lack of security coverage.

This sucks. It damages Amazon’s reputation a tiny little bit. Every time anyone evaluates some tech or service they think about “will this thing go away one day and leave me in the lurch”? Doing this just increased the estimated probability of Amazon flaking out on you just a tiny bit. That means the next time they are selling something their own brand they will have just a tiny bit harder time to convince companies to be the early adopters. This kind of damage is cumulative in a non-linear way. And reputation is one of those things which are very hard to restore once you have ruined it.

There is nothing “all good” about it. At best this is an “on balance of costs and benefits this course of action was less damaging for Amazon than the alternatives”.
