I've been on both ends of successful hiring via "Who's Hiring?" more than once. It seemed like CraigsList was really useful back in the mid-aughts, then HN lists started to dominate the "interesting jobs without BS job board" category.

You're going to get an overwhelming number of "yup, worked for me in 2XXX" responses. I'm not sure what the point of the question is, though.

The job market for us is very different now than even a handful of years ago, so any results won't be representative of now. And asking only for survivors won't tell you how successful the postings really were to either side, just that eventually the job was filled from here and not another source.
The sophistry resides in the gap between the current government's stated reasons for conducting the operation in the way that it has -- and its actual, inner reasons.

Heart health, weight management, muscle and bone strength, reducing risk of chronic disease, boosting mood, reducing stress... if exercise was a pill, no one would believe everything it did.
I generally agree with your analysis. You describe the tall order for the Russians or Chinese to take on the Western-led world order and economic might and prevail. I would like to add:

- The Russians and Chinese are not natural allies (historically quite the contrary.)

- The only belligerence the Chinese have shown is on Taiwan and the South China Sea. On a pound-for-pound basis, they've been throwing their weight around a lot less than, say, older Western powers like France and the UK.

- By contrast, the Russians are on a world-domination war path, acting like Ivan the Terrible is still alive and the middle ages never ended.

The only way the Russians can hope to win is by locking the Chinese into their camp. This in turn requires the Chinese to completely turn their economy inward. There's just not enough BRICS to buy their current exports. It also means a massive drop of GDP.

The key here is that the Russians cannot lock in the Chinese without our help. So every time you hear someone bashing China in the West, keep in mind that driving a wedge between the West and China only really helps Russia.

I'm no fan of the CCP, but we've been allies with way worse governments, such as Saudi Arabia.

Kernighan was a co-author of the Go book, but I don't know how much he was involved with the actual design of the language. Maybe not much, or at all, although, of course, he is a key part of the original Unix mafia (my term, not pejorative, rather meant admiringly, because I cut my programming teeth on UNIX and C software and books, and worked on that platform a lot, earlier), many of whom are still going strong in their 70s and 80s. So the Go bracket style may not be attributable to him.

I think zamadatix convinced me that Apple drank their own kool-aid on VR though. That's too bad. I'm sure someone had a bonus large enough to prevent them from seeing straight. Hopefully it doesn't turn into another Scott Forstall situation, where Apple fires them and then it turns out that sins notwithstanding they were the voice of reason when it came to something else. Dammit, it's been a decade and Apple still hasn't given up on the Fisher Price widgets. Ah well. The world spins on.

> So there is at least a component of the "microseconds per day" offset formula that contributes to a slowing down compared to what is being orbited

I'm not sure what you mean by "compared to what is being orbited". We are comparing a clock in a free-fall orbit to a clock on Earth.

> speed matters but it is negligible compared to other factors for objects like the moon or a human made satellite

For the Moon, yes, the speed effect is small compared to the altitude effect.

For human made satellites, it isn't. For example, as I have already said, clocks on the ISS run slow compared to Earth clocks--because in low Earth orbit, the slowdown due to speed is greater than the speedup due to altitude.

It wasn't that way last year, and coldstarts were measured in seconds.
Huh, you are absolutely right. It's not an NSAID. Thank you for the correction.

Sure, I do agree that NSAID have their own pitfalls. I am sure most, if not all, medications have pitfalls at some intersection between dosage and time. My understand of acetaminophen is that the line between therapeutic help and harm is rather small for compared to many other OTC medications.

Just based off of a few brief searches it is recommended that an adult take no more than 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours. One tablet is typically 325mg. According to this Harvard Health link [1]:

"For the average healthy adult, the absolute maximum daily dose is no more than 4,000 milligrams (mg) from all sources. But in some people, doses close to the 4,000 mg daily limit for adults could still be toxic to the liver. It's safest to take only what you need, and to not exceed 3,000 mg a day whenever possible, especially if you use acetaminophen often."

So, even with infrequent usage, and by following proper instructions, liver toxicity could still technically occur within just 24 hours of usage. How likely is it? Well, that I have not looked into.

Overall, my point is: why risk even go down that road? Now, I could be wrong (again), but most research I have seen on the topic pertains to pain relief where Tylenol doesn't seem as effective as alternatives. Perhaps for other aliments it's better, but again, that begs the question -- better compared to what else and what are those risks?

Early ones for sure, but I've noticed steady improvements. And I've only ever had problems with fairly inexpensive bulbs. I have a house full of Cree retrofit cans which have been 100% reliable for years now. My guess is that is partly because Cree is higher quality, and partly because they are not bulbs, and so the heat management is way better.
That's because these things are all just corporate propaganda and virtue-signalling anyway.
> The real question is, given all the materials on the internet that can literally tell you why these tools are useful (I mean, surely if you just read the docs you'd find out?!), why have you not done the work?

This is it. All of these tools (with a few exceptions) have legitimate use-cases in the tech industry. The fact that OP hasn't clued into what those use-cases are betrays a lack of adaptability and an inability to leave their comfort zone.

I used to be that kind of person so I get it. It's really uncomfortable having to shift your mental model to accomodate a rapidly changing industry like tech but it's absolutely necessary in order to prevent stagnation.
Does it survive restarts? You mention that they are exported as dataframes, can they be reimported? Does this mean we can run mandala on many machines, and merge data frames together to get collective memoization?

Do you support persisting into external stores?

You mention incpy in readme, have you discussed this project with Philip Guo? https://pg.ucsd.edu/

What is the memory and cpu overhead?

How does the framework handle dependencies on external libraries or system-level changes that might affect reproducibility?

How do you rollback state when it has memoized a broken computation? How does one decide which memoizations to invalidate vs keep?
Why not ditch the whole idea of exceptions and adopt a more rock solid approach such as monads in Haskell and Rust?
Unfortunately that requires root, and SDKs have gotten incredibly good at detecting root - not to mention SafetyNet Attestation.

For a full bypass of that crap, you nowadays need a lot of resources including a Secure Enclave exploit - for now they're (relatively) cheap but eventually they'll be the kind of stuff traded for seven figures a pop.

Eternal shame on Google for not insisting that Android would follow the "PC model" of the user being root on their own machine and DRM and whatnot can go and screw themselves. They had the chance of actually delivering something that would not require jailbreaking and cat-and-mouse games like iOS, but they blew it (and blew the MAFIAA instead).
At bit.io, _if_ you ran the database on the free tier for the full month, it cost us around $0.83. We scaled to zero, so the most common case was that free tier DBs cost us about 1/30th of that. That database was running on its own pod, isolated from every other database.
But in such case the labyrinth wouldn't need an actual exit, only the Minotaur would have to think there is one.
As a long time user of pgvector I'm really hyped up about this. Korvus has the potential to reduce a lot of the repetitive code in projects I work on.

You mention pulling models from huggingface for document embedding. Is it possible to pass an hf token to use private models?

I train domain and language-specific[0] embedding and conversational models and if I can use them in Korvus I'll most likely switch to it overnight.

> Amphetamines push catecholamines out of presynaptic neurons; that’s pretty settled.

Sure, I am not doubting that we have some understanding of some of the mechanisms. We know SSRI's affect serotonin, but not how they work in terms of providing therapeutic relief. My point about amphetamines was the same. We might know that catecholamines are pushed out of the presynaptic neurons, but how/why does that treat conditions like ADHD, Narcolepsy, Binge-Eating Disorder, etc.?
This reminds me of the first time I ran the X Window System on my computer. After one hour trying to start X unsuccessfully, I finally got the stipple background, which left me wondering what was the next step. There was no next step. I right-clicked on the background and a menu popped up. That was it. That was X, before my very eyes, in all its splendour.

Stop it. There was no “Reagan boom” other than new found free money flowing through the government via Reagan’s Social Security Modernization Act.

Fast forward 45 years and his party is telling you that in orders to save the country, you have to accept a lesser benefit because they spent all the money from a fund that was supposed to be a social safety net.

You can also stop defending people who are tax cheats with “the rich really do pay”. Apparently not, because that is the premise of the entire article that the IRS collected tax due.
Curious.

Likelihood of them fixing bugs that have been outstanding for 6 years during a 6 month trial? Zero.

That's to say that if you try it and don't encounter any of the bugs—great. But if you try it and do encounter the bugs—they're generally unlikely to ever be fixed. In my experience as a user from day one.

Yeah, but you only want to pay $2/month. I don't know how you came up with that amount, but it seems too low a price point for anyone to spend the 100s of man-hours to wire it up, not to mention the time spent with customer service. And then there's the marketing, taxes, etc.

You're better off just self-hosting postgres in docker on your own vps for $4-5/month.

What Does Absolute Power Corrupts Mean?
You mean the descent into the water planet?

If I modify that scene a little bit, it serves to showcase my doubts.

4 astronauts are on orbit around the water planet, but Brand is sick. Cooper, Brand and Doyle go down so Romily can spend 20 years researching a cure.

After an hour, Cooper, the sick Brand and Doyle go back to orbit and reunite with Romily. For Romily, 20 years passed and he completed the sythesis for the cure. Romily has "stolen" some information about the future by "walking it" in a relatively different pace, and it was able to share that information with someone that "walked it" in a slower pace.

Now, this is for gravity. This was possible because of Gargantua. But gravity is not the only component of the "microseconds per day" formula, there's seems to be more.

So I'm interested perhaps in an illustrative scenario where the speed is highlighted (whatever the outcome is, doesn't matter), not the gravity, and there is an attempt at information exchange (don't care if can be successful or not, as long as the example actually explains it).
This might be an allegory for a mind looking for an exit from the maze of increasingly complex thoughts, and eventually falling into the hands of madness.

I'm hoping Chromebook will win the Linux Desktop wars. I'm not sure what it's future is, but right now with Wayland, running on GNU, running on Linux characterising it as yet another variant of KDE / Gnome / Xfce or whatever doesn't seem too outlandish. It runs Debian GUI packages just fine - for example Mozilla says to run Firefox on Chromebook you just install the Debian package. All the other Debian packages I've installed like vim and LibreOffice just worked too. It's pretty seemless as any Linux GUI app you install just appear in your startup folder just like native Chromebook apps do. It's fast, as in native fast, because it's an LXD container.

Google's control of the platform is almost Apple like. All the hardware has to work, the manufacturer has to supply 8 years of updates, and the battery has to last 10 hours. Compatibility issues vanish because in effect it's like buying a windows laptop or macbook. You're guaranteed the kernel can drive the hardware.

Security wise it's on par with a phone, which means it's better than any desktop OS (Windows, MacOS, and the traditional Linux), which for me is a major plus.

The downside is hardware availability. If you are a student who only needs 4G RAM and 64GB SSD, you're very well catered for. You can get something amazingly cheap that's build like a truck and has a waterproof keyboard. But finding something with 16GB or more of RAM and 256GB+ SSD is like searching for hens teeth. Here's hoping that will improve.
> and DRM and whatnot can go and screw themselves

The funny thing is that they wouldn't have even needed to take this position. DRM works well enough on (e.g.) Windows to make the various studios more or less happy, and users have "root" on Windows as usual. Ditto for macOS. Hell, DRM works just fine on my Linux desktop install, as much as I despite its existence.
Of course, did anyone expect differently? Nike doesn't care even the slightest bit about sustainability - they only invested in it because they thought it'd be a good marketing strategy.

The "why" is quite telling: their sales didn't grow. They still have an absolutely massive market share, and they're still making over a billion dollar a year in profits - but they didn't grow, so their share price dropped, so their shareholders demand cost cutting.

They are forced to grow like a cancer, no wonder they aren't sustainable!

Also the Minotaur just might not be strong enough, depending on what the labyrinth is made of, given that its purpose in the myth is to keep the Minotaur trapped. He's half man, half bull, which makes him a lot stronger than a human but AFAIK bulls can't just bust through stone walls.
The flipside of this is that if anything fails, they'll just rebuild it. Their capacity to build things is incredible -- and yes, also a little scary. I understand why some people might want to pretend it "isn't real."

Agreed that "live" in-game LLMs for NPCs is probably a little while away. Need better tools than now that allows to strike a balance between constrained/directed output and variation.
I suspect that LLMs are already used by (some) game developers to aided dialogue creation tools for game developers, where they curate and select more or less a fixed vocabulary. I do think that there are many viable steps to "generic". For example, if the game developer could specify possible dialog trees (as in the possible branches and outcomes), then an LLM could ideally fill in the concrete text when reaching the different paths.
Or an LLM could add in "small talk" - meaning things that reflect the world state, recent events, but still have the quest type dialog be practically hardcoded (so there is no risk of unreachable states etc).
