The problem is that the job market is a market for lemons on both sides.

From the employee side, I have no way of knowing whether I've actually found something better. It could be that I've just found a company that interviews well or that got lucky enough to avoid putting foot in mouth long enough to get me out the door.

If I'm in a company that's good enough and am not sure I'll be able to land a job six months from now, it makes very little sense for me to even start looking because I know that any new job I find might be a lemon, even if it looks better during the interviews.

This is pretty cool - provides a good speed up for container builds. The couple of beefy instances can set you back $200-1000 a month on aws apart from the regular github action runner costs and it only goes up from there. We have a way around that plus effective scaling for multiple parallel builds with WarpBuild.

As a side note: In my time running a CI infra co, we see that a majority of the workflow time for large teams comes from tests - which can have over 200 shards in some cases.
Maybe it is the traffic that is wrong? Vehicle-induced injury and death is still a huge issue, and marginal speed increases make no difference to overall trip times.
Like many people, you are focusing too much on the easy case and neglecting the many, many edge cases.
When the FCC licenses off spectrum they should collect an upfront fee and perpetual royalty fees that should be used to pay down the public debt (or some other use that can't be politicized), unless the use is primarily for the public good. I don't know anything about NextNav but AI says...

>will Metropolitan Beacon System charge a royalty for devices to use its network?

>Yes, the Metropolitan Beacon System (MBS) developed by NextNav is a proprietary technology, and it is likely that there will be charges associated with using its network. These charges could include royalties or licensing fees for devices that utilize the MBS network for precise location and timing services

> The tech community is in for quite a shock with Tesla robotaxi's come out in a year or so

FSD has been set to come out in a year or so since 2014. At this point nobody should be foolish enough to give Tesla the benefit of the doubt; if they have a self-driving car, then they'll take legal liability for its actions, and if they won't take legal liability for its actions, they don't have a self-driving car. This is as true for any company as it is for Tesla, although Tesla is the only one who's seen fit to lie about it for a decade.
The very first sentence is "...who are having an increasingly tough time landing a new gig as hiring slows and job boards run dry."

According to App Review Guideline:

3.2.1 (vii) Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.

Many years ago in China where WeChat said Apple was about to collect fees on reader's donation to writer's article (whether paywalled or not). WeChat was taking a cut on such donation. Later WeChat agreed to not taking such cut on donations and the payment not fullfilled by in-app purchase but rather WeChat Pay (as a means of fund transfer).

However, in the case of Patreon, often people are not donating to the creator, they are paying money to gain access to the creators' work (early access, exclusive membership content, etc.), thus Patreon is selling the product produced by creators.

Edit: I want to add that there should be a cut for Apple in this case, but not 30% or 15% (via subscription).
You can't retire until you get the $2.5M, and your employer isn't going to give it to you if quit early. That's what makes it handcuffs.
That's not really true and not really a thing. Unemployment in tech is even lower than the general economy. It just stopped being massively overheated.

I can get a 48 core/96 threads dedicated server for 200€ a month on hetzner.
The cheapest EC2 with that comes close costs 2€ per hour. I can get nearly 10 hetzner servers that run consistently for that price.

Obviously the dedicated machines are not rentable per hour, but the cloud is so much more expensive.
No, the analogy is breaking a rule in "good faith". It's absurd. Regular citizens can't do that. Ignorance of the law or "good intentions" isn't a defense for a normal person.
You're reading things into my comment that I never said. I'm not the same person you were previously replying to, in case that confused you.

> parallel construction ever happening has nothing to do with what we're talking about

I never said the two cases have anything to do with each other.

What I see is similarities between the two regarding your reasoning. That is, they both require the government agents doing something that you'd think would jeopardize their careers, and yet they're getting away with it all the time... because they actually do manage to successfully hide the practice from the courts when trial time comes.

If just reading "parallel construction" is inducing a knee-jerk reaction from you, look at other examples of perjury and how many careers ended over them. Here [1] is one article I'll quote for you: A former San Francisco Police commissioner [said] "One of the dirty little not-so-secret secrets of the criminal justice system is undercover narcotics officers intentionally lying under oath. [...] It is the routine way of doing business in courtrooms everywhere in America." ... Justice [...] of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn condemned a widespread culture of lying and corruption in the department’s drug enforcement units: “I thought I was not naïve [...] but even this court was shocked, not only by the seeming pervasive scope of misconduct but even more distressingly by the seeming casualness by which such conduct is employed.”

If you're going to claim the "engineers" here are "lazy" or otherwise ignorant about the robustness of the US legal system, you'll need to do more to enlighten them than wave your hands around saying "it's hard to spell out why it's impractical" with vague game-theoretical explanations. Because to a lot of folks here, this kind of stuff is clearly still happening, regardless of what you believe about the difficulty of distributed coordination or the explanatory power of game theory.

Ok here is what I have come up with. I understand we are close to one foot in the looney bin here but such is innovation.

1. Semiotic Integration:
Retain parts of my semiotic analysis tool to preprocess and enrich the input data before it's mapped onto the lattice. This will ensure that the lattice includes not only raw data but also the cultural and symbolic meanings of the entities involved.

2. Semiotic feedback loops:
the analysis results inform the refinement of the lattice structure, which in turn improves prompt generation.
Incredible step towards AI agents for scientific discovery!

Yes I was driving on a freeway last week and traffic went from 80mph to dead stop about as fast as I could stand on the brakes. I didn't hit the car in front of me with only a few feet to spare, and fortunately the driver behind me was also paying attention. The jam eventually cleared, and there was absolutely no indication of what caused it.
This is why the real answer is that the manager needs to know how to weld too, so they can independently validate Bob's and Steve's work.
You don't seem to understand what gatekeeping means.

In the context of iPhone, it means that the owner of an iPhone is not able to install software on their own iPhone without Apple's permission. It's a restriction on the owner's freedom.

Neither credit cards nor Costco memberships are analogous, because in the first place, there's no ownership involved, as I already explained. With a Costco membership, you certainly don't own part of Costco. You're simply buying temporary access to the store. In the second place, there's no restriction of customer freedom. A Costco member is free to walk across the street and buy Coca-Cola at any other store. Coke is Coke: it's the exact same formula in every can or bottle. It may be more expensive elsewhere, of course, and that's the point of the Costco membership. But there is absolutely nothing in the world restricting Coke and customers of Coke from coming together.

I have no objection to Apple having an App Store and setting terms for its App Store. It does this on the Mac too. My objection is that unlike on the Mac, the iOS App Store is the sole source of software, and iPhone owners are not free to shop elsewhere, again unlike Mac owners. The iPhone gatekeeps its owners in a way that the Mac does not.

It's not really about market power, because iPhone owners have never been free to install software from outside the App Store, not even way back in 2008 when iPhone sales were vastly smaller. And that's always been wrong.

If you want another example of customer gatekeeping, I'll give you one: John Deere tractors using DRM to prevent tractor owners or third-parties from repairing the tractor. That's wrong too.
Airflow is far from perfect, but I don't understand your concerns. I work in a big and messy company and even messier department. We have jobs running in Databricks, Snowflake, sometimes we read data from API end points, or even files uploaded to SharePoint (my group is not building DW). Airflow lets me organize it in a single workflow. At least I know that every failed job is reported by email and I don't need to search multiple systems - all starts from Airflow.

> Why should biz logic that just needs to run Spark and interact with S3 now need to run a web server?

Webserver is mostly UI. Scheduler service triggers the jobs.

We have groups which run everything as Bash Operator, no dependency issues that way.

You maybe have a very specific use case in mind, the main points of using Airflow for me

* Single orchestration center: manual job control (stop, pause, rerun), backfill; automated scheduler/retry; built-in notification

* Framework built around "reporting period" - it enforces correct abstraction, if a data batch is broken, I can rerun it and rerun all dependent downstream. How do you fix data in event driven workflow?

* managing dependencies

In most cases all Airflow does is running your job with passing it "date" parameter. You can test your code without Airflow - just pass it a date and run from command line.
What's this about Mike, did someone give a bad report about his welds too?

Waymo's obey all traffic laws and never drive tired, drunk, or distracted.

I, for one, will be surprised ... in fact put me down for "very surprised".
Seeing this right now single-handedly turned me off from the project. Of all the possible (and more plausible) conclusions that the maintainer could have had, they deduced it to be political (which is arguable) and immediately became extremely defensive. Apparently women don't exist. It's an absolute failure of one's responsibilities as a maintainer -- arguably as a person -- to treat someone's goodwill with such disregard.
This is an easy fix for Boeing: budget for more lobbyists and campaign contributions.
I think that comments like this with emoticons are vague in intention and difficult to reply to especially given parent context - but basically, I think because I am thinking. No proof exists within the LLM flavor of AI products that they do any form of thinking as we understand it, because we haven’t even defined what thinking is. Charlatans tend to use vague definitions to advance whatever agenda they have, and when a subject is already poorly understood, it is prone to wild, unsubstantiated (and prone to misinterpretation) claims.

Whatever you want to make of AI’s emergent abilities or whatever dumb AI meaningless buzzwords are the trend right now, you have to first prove to me you know how I think before I will accept your claim AI knows how to and as far as I’m aware that’s still an open question.

Hope that explains my viewpoint.
Good idea giving life to non powered things. In this case latency will be a problem, but will be great in no latency depended applications.
However people who exercise a lot, sweat more efficiently; so I figure it should be roughly equal.
Sounds more like you have enough financial stability to not need a pay increase. People who are early in their career struggle to pay bills/rent/etc and so have to take every 30% they can - only until they don’t need to anymore.
We are also only counting the winners who all took huge risk. Many more took huge risk in the past and lost everything.

It strikes me as rather absurd to believe it was better in the past when capital was much harder to come by.

Imagine trying to get startup funding in the late 80s when a person with capital could get 9% annualized on a short term US government bill. Good luck with that.

This is a great time for engineers who saved their money during the good times to get together and start a startup. The easy money will come back eventually, and you'll have an MVP to pitch to investors at worst, and a bootstrapped and profitable business at best.
>Steam effectively punishes creators for not steering users towards their monopoly, and they have a ton of tools for user lock-in: Steam Input, Steam Workshop, etc... They may not be as egregious as Apple, but they are often pretty egregious in their own right.

Main difference is steam is pretty clever about how they do this. They will pull out very fast if customers start to complain, maybe reworking it later on (paid mods -> steam workshop). Meanwhile, devs on the wrong end of the stick can get some of the worst customer service out there behind the curtain. The only way to get steam to respond is to be lucky enough to cause enough customer ire (e.g. Stein's Gate prequel not being approved for Steam. Despite having an ESRB rating... until customers complained).

That's how you get stuff like the Wolfire lawsuit but people chastising Wolfire instead of Valve.

Most other companies don't even pretend to care and just eat the PR hit. That cynicism will build up over the years, so there's much less sympathy for Apple.
Most businesses still operate mainly from M-F. Most software are written for businesses. You can't really afford to bring your clients' business down, that's a lot of potential lawsuits or credits that you need to give back.

Same here! Have you found a solution? I was pretty happy with 3 miles 3-4 times per week, 10 to 11 minute pace, but apparently for me that's pushing too hard according to zone training. I tried going much slower, and even then my HR raises more slowly, but eventually gets way up there. Alternating my slowest possible jog and walking has taken all the fun out of running for the time being.

I did eventually break 3 hours multiple times but that near miss hurt for a long time. And yes, anyone who can run that fast, even for a single mile, is above average by a fair bit.

Certainly tradeoffs do not discredit a proposal wholesale. That's true, and it's beside the point.

This thread is also beside the point. The relevant sphere is the general public discourse, which is largely naive and unexamined. This is not at all to insult the public, but to critique the narrative that dominates the public mindshare.

The premise that we "need to switch to renewable energy sources" is what is in question. What is it that we want do with that energy? Are "renewables" really renewable if they require a massive expansion in mining of non-renewable materials? Have we really something we ought to call a "solution" if it prolongs our war on earth-borne life?

We don't simply have a hydrocarbon problem. We have a deep and profound dilemma and a mass psychosis of global proportion. The application of tidy concepts like "problem" and "solution" to the former are symptomatic of the latter.

Haha to be fair, the team I ran was an applied research group that’d partner with teams within the organization. So every month we’d do designs & bring in ML expertise to a new project. Plus we maintained a ton of tools. This resulted in a lot of patents every month. Particularly, around generative AI, autoML, federated learning, etc years before it was popular. So it was a fairly open space, resulting in a high number of patents

You're referring to highest unemployment rate.
