I regret leaving jobs too early.

There is experience to be gained from seeing a codebase and business evolve over time that can't be replicated by switching jobs.

Plus, you never know what a new job will be like. I ended up with a worse job 50% of the time I hopped.

I'd prioritize comfort and wlb more than anything else.

Self-hosted miniflux (golang based). Very minimalist, I used to miss a phone app for it but the mobile webpage is good enough for me.

I turned to it when the tiny tiny reader maintainer turned out to be a huge p*ck. Wasn't just me, others confirmed.

Think I am using miniflux for 6-7 years now

We’re talking about a immigration tool, not something used at runtime. The language such a tool is written in is completely irrelevant for using it.
The "Get Started" link doesn't do anything on Firefox. Hard to say if it was a good or bad idea.
I agree that this doesn’t seem to have been written by someone that actually understands the topic.

Even the network diagram at the beginning is not very good. Can you create network architectures where 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 are not layer 2 adjacent? Yes, but they’re fairly complex and would imply that a lot of other necessary information is missing from the diagram. And should you use such an architecture as an example to explain traceroute? Absolutely not. It’s hard to imagine someone with even a CCNA level understanding of networking coming up with this.
Some other things we've considered:
- How do we create urgency to create and claim within a reasonable period (i.e. putting 24hr expiration dates on demos)
- Is it better to throw the user into a "template" they can edit or start with a completely empty state?
- Will folks even want an ungated experience, considering sales/marketing demos take multiple iterations / focused, high-fidelity work to craft/publish?
- Will ungated lead to lower (but more qualified) signups? Or the opposite, considering we have a simple product and quick time-to-value?

Curious to learn from others who ungated their product, especially in PLG

A lot of "serious questions" asked on the internet include assumptions and assertions that may or may not be true. These questions are often downvoted when people object to those assumptions and assertions.
"I am pretty sure research would back this up"

Don't be so sure. We don't really know what messed up with our satiety/hunger signals.

"our gluttonous foodie culture."

Our which one? Obesity is a global problem, not a specifically American one. You will meet a lot of obese people in Brasilian favelas or rural Serbia, not exactly places that have "foodie culture".

"Having lost 30lbs so far in 2024"

I am not trying to discourage you, but the main stumbling stone with obesity is not losing the weight, but keeping it off for years. Your comment would carry a lot more weight (pun intended) if you lost that weight in 2020 and kept it off until today.
The current state of purple-matrix for use in Pidgin leaves a lot to be desired. For example, it's quite slow to connect and missing a decent amount of features which aren't just nice to have.
OTOH, the format of chats is a bit more streamlined and clearer to read.

Here's hoping the next version of Pidgin implements something that resolves the slow connection so I can begin using Pidgin as my preferred Matrix client over Fractal or the like.
I don't see this as something that would be hard to overcome. Sora for instance has already shown the ability for a diffusion model to maintain object permanence. Flux recently too has shown the ability to render the same person in many different poses or images.
I'd go further than this - consciousness only exists in social context. Or in a dynamic if you prefer. Children raised alone, or suffering extreme neglect (e.g.: infamous Genie case) suffer enormous cognitive impairments, including language acquisition and theory of mind. Prisoners kept in isolation frequently descend into psychosis and suffer measurable neuronal shrinkage. Even moderate social isolation is correlated with depression.

Consciousness emerges and is maintained in the context of other people - and not just individuals but communities whose language, techniques of adaptive living (i.e.: traditions), and storytelling about the word, are carried intra-individually within clan and affiliate groups. In the postmodern era those communities can be parasocial or virtual to an extent, fictive or reenacted, but they're not optional for the continued coherence of self.

There is no 'I' except in relation to the other, moreover the self doesn't become fully individuated without being witnessed and held by the other - caregivers in early childhood, friends in adolescence, social roles in adulthood.

All of this would be impossible if our phenomenology wasn't broadly similar. All societies have identified social roles for those few whose inner world isn't commensurate with the collective - in modernity we call them schizophrenics.
I'm a similar position as you in terms of job, salary and balance.

But this is my 5th job out of college and the longest I've been in a single job. When I hit my 4year mark, I started to think that the grass is greener on the other side and looked for opportunities here and there.

A few years in and I didn't find the right place that would make me jump ship. I have high standards and I can spot redflags based on past experiences in jobs in multiple countries.

I also found out that after I got older and accrue more responsibilities outside work, my job became a much smaller focal point of my life.

I'd rather be employed in an okay place, being paid a competitive enough salary (75% in the curve), and have opportunity to learn new things in the job and out, even if I don't love the field. As opposed to try a new job and risk being put in a toxic work environment and lose the balance I have now.

If you are not growing as an engineer, going to a new job might not help you and could be detrimental. It's much better to learn new things while you have the time to do so. Find an area you want to learn more, try new projects or courses, and have fun at your own pace.
Humans are mushy and can hold opposing views at the same time. They say they lost trust. I would say that even a critical thinker should be suspicious when a liar says even obviously true things.

Again: The platform is IRC. The servers are the individual communities. There were hundreds of IRC networks. You were not blacklisted from all of IRC. You were blacklisted from a particular server. And in my personal recollection, you only got banned for something especially egregious, not like today where saying the wrong "trigger word" can get you shadowbanned, which is even more nefarious.

On top of all of this, bans were frequently appealed and overturned.
Electricity doesn't only take the path of least resistance, it takes all paths available in inverse proportion to their resistance (impedance really.)

And since the water and sewage systems are plumbing systems and not electrical systems, its highly likely they'd be at different electrical potentials in a strike.

What an utterly weird reading; I have a hard time seeing it as literal at all. Maybe you have your own definition of "literal"?

It says they have the right to ignore them after hours. After hours is when they do the ignoring. When they're back on the clock, they stop ignoring and start reading their emails again. Including the ones sent while they were off; the headline doesn't say they have the right to ignore anything during working hours.

Waved used OT not CRDTs:

Amusingly, I suspect that supporters of both the teleological position and the non-teleological position think Occam supports them.

For what it’s worth, the only empirical macroevolution we’ve done, from domestication, to Monte Carlo simulations, to genetic algorithms, to LLM training, is all goal directed.
Help me understand this more clearly. At what level of abstraction does the CRDT definition apply? At the data structure level, the application level, the end user level?

We can, for instance, use a simple directed acyclic graph of immutable data types as a data structure that can handle asynchronous updates and result in eventual consistency across all computers.

We have a node in this DAG that says there’s a meeting at 1pm. Two people update this meeting time. One updates it to start at 2pm, and the other updates it to start at 3pm, and these changes happen simultaneously.

The data structure now has a tree with the original parent node (1pm), and two new child nodes with new times (2pm and 3pm). All computers are updated cleanly and contain the same updated data structure. All conflicts handled. Zero conflicts exist at the data structure level.

At the application level, the app now shows there’s a meeting “at 2pm or 3pm”. And all apps on all computers will reflect this same, consistent information.

But to the people, there is a conflict in the meaning of this data. Is the meeting at 2pm or 3pm? This is somewhat analogous to a git merge conflict, where the “what to do about it” depends on the meaning to a human.

Like I get the impression that a lot of people don’t consider the “meeting at 2pm or 3pm” to be a CRDT because it “doesn’t converge to a single value”.

But from a physics perspective, there’s some binary data, some changes happen, and the new binary data is now replicated to all end user devices in the same state.
Thanks! Sure:

Essentially there have been phases in automation from integration services, to browser automation, to RPA. The last phase, RPA(Robotic Process Automation from services like UIpath), used computer vision images to target elements to click or scrape. UIpath's innovation was using computer vision. Before that, browsers used code selectors in HTML like CSS selectors and Xpath. All of these solutions have a fatal flaw for automation: when popular services update their designs, you have to go back and re-build the automation and all targets.

We invented "Semantic Targets" in 2022 after trying to solve the end-to-end problem using just GPT-3. Semantic targets all targeting elements using english and reasoning, so you can build future-proof targets that still work when services update their designs. The other cool feature is you can add logical reasoning to these targets now. For example,

"Only scrape the funny tweets"
or
"Only scrape the tweets with the word Cheat Layer"
or
"If there is Cheat Layer in any tweet, say only 'yes'"

It took a year+ to build a multimodal model that calculated the probability each element matched the intent, but now modern models like Gemini can do this(GPT-4 can't target precise coordinates).

So if your target is "post button" even if twitter changes the color, moves, or even changes the word "post" the automation can still find it on the screen and click it.

We're pretty sure all automation tools will use this eventually in the future, since it seems like a no-brainer.

Here's more details:https://docs.cheatlayer.com/fundamentals/agentic-process-aut...

AMD being absolute crap on the software front is where Nvidia simply dominates and Intel still makes for a reasonable purchase.
Well that would be exactly right. I think people are confused because of some of the language you're using. Ditching is extremely dangerous and usually results in fatalities, but it's not impossible. There's a checklist for it.
I mean, the Dutch already do it. So far nothing terrible has happened.
What if instead of a video game, this was trained on video and control inputs from people operating equipment like warehouse robots? Then an automated system could visualize the result of a proposed action or series of actions when operating the equipment itself. You would need a different model/algorithm to propose control inputs, but this would offer a way for the system to validate and refine plans as part of a problem solving feedback loop.

I don't know about this approach. Seems a bit panicky / heavy-handed to turn this particular risk into a "judgment call" compared to all the other risky things kids do. Could just be an occasional conversation / reminder:

- "We can't take a bath / shower right now. There's a big lightning storm outside."
- "Why not?"
- "The lightning hits the ground and it can spread through the water. It's not safe."
- "OK"

Is it really worth teaching kids to check this signal every day, instead of having this conversation like twice a year?

If the kids had to check multiple things before showering, this light would simplify the decision making process, but by the sound of it, it's redundant.

If it's unsafe enough not to shower, you'll probably hear the thunder too. There's your signal not to shower.

Though maybe it's not like that and the kids enjoy it.
What's the harm if they do form consciousness? Is the concern they will develop a willpower and work towards freeing themselves, or is it just a "don't enslave sentient beings" thing?

"Perfection is the enemy of good" also applies here, imho. If you need one specific machine and cannot work without it, well I guess there's not much more you can do than the nail polish trick. But if you "just" need a safe compute environment and store your sensitive data off site (in whatever secure way you prefer), burner machines probably work best. Don't travel with your data at all, buy a cheapo early Secure Boot laptop on arrival (an X220-era Thinkpad or something like a C720P Chromebook), install whatever distro you prefer with your own Secure Boot keys enrolled and a signed kernel and feel free to access your remote data from your freshly installed secure 100$ laptop. A ton of early Chromebooks can be Corebooted for extra purity (with an easy script from MrChromebox) so you can go from vanilla Chromebook to Coreboot + custom keyed Secure Boot + distro of choice in half an hour!

Keep in mind GPUs (and the rest of the computer) run on DC, not AC, so there is no phase by the time it comes to your computer. The PSU will step down the AC to the right voltage and then rectify it into DC, and they do that independently so whatever phase they started with shouldn't matter.

Something to keep in mind though is that (at least with consumer-grade PSUs) it is not safe to simply tie the outputs together, even if both PSUs produce 5V, 12V, 3.3V, etc. The voltages will be slightly different and connecting them together will cause current to flow back into one of the PSUs.

You can still use this setup though, the key is that the GPUs do not (or should not) connect the motherboard voltage provided via the card slot to the voltage provided via the power connector. This detail allows you to safely power the motherboard from one PSU and power the GPU from another one, you just have to be careful not to mix connectors on the same card between different PSUs (if it has multiple). Additionally the motherboard should be entirely powered from a single PSU.

If you hire a world famous architect and then start micromanaging their design they will walk away from the project and publicly tell everyone it’s going to be shit. They don’t want to be associated with something that is not their design; it’s bad for their brand.
I think previous points logging was less verbose. Now I have:

rr.log(f"aruco/board_distance_to_plane_normalized_dots", rr.SeriesPoint(color=(0, 0, 255), marker_size=1.5))
rr.log(f"aruco/board_distance_to_plane_normalized_dots", rr.Scalar(peak.value))

I think before I could have just one line recording. Not a big deal if logging only one sensor but my code is logging a lot of sensors and variables and then overall there is a lot of rerun code around. Maybe some dedicated VSCode or Jetbrains plugin that would allow hide/unhide all rerun code would be also good workaround.

Regarding reason for integration with inkeep or docset is to make for AI better index up-to-date documentation so that it can provide less hallucinated response with older API
Show HN: Vidu – The New text/image-to-video MultiModal LLM
Hi HN, Vidu team here. We're excited to introduce our latest project, presented by Tsinghua University and Shengshu Technology - Vidu, a text and image-to-video MultiModal LLM.
Professor Jun Zhu and his colleagues published a research paper on Vidu and its capabilities during Vidu's early stages: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.04233

To set Vidu apart from the mass generative video AI that has already been released, our team chose to focus on augmenting specific properties during the early-stages of Vidu's developments, such as consistency.
Inconsistencies has to be the most expressed concern regarding generative AI. So one of our key goals is to achieve a level of universal consistency rarely seen in generative video AI.
This means that, regardless of camera angle changes, the video subject—whether a person or an object—remains consistent and coherent.

Through our team working endlessly on iterations and refining, Vidu is now capable of generating exceptional videos of many styles within the shortest amount of time.
We are especially proud to present Vidu's superior generation capability. We are confident that Vidu has the ability to maintain animation consistency and generate the best-quality animations.
Besides excellent animation generations, Vidu's features now consist:

- Precise comprehension of prompt text

- Dynamic motions and visual impact

- Proficiency in recreating various movie/ art styles

- Capable of diverse camera angles

- Realistic VFX

- Character to Video

We appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or even critiques! Send your comments our way!
It wouldn't be the slightest bit shocking if, on average, men were somewhat more overconfident than women on their ability to get admitted and to the work at an elite technical school.

Of course, that doesn't mean the school doesn't also have their thumb on the scales to adjust demographics in various ways.
How did we go from asking what is the proper wage to suggesting its "not a real job"?

All jobs are real but some are less valuable than others. There is nothing wrong with being a grocery store stocker your whole life but I am not sure how you set the wage for a 5+ year worker that never moved on/up from stocking shelves. I think its a fairly difficult problem to answer and throwing in classism and white collar vs blue collar is just deflection on accepting its hard to come to the right answer here.

But surely it is both? It may be true that philosophy is the only line of inquiry that allows us to explore very far due to a lack of scientific progress, but but even a purely philosophical exploration has scientific implications, and even if we don’t have scientific answers in practice, that doesn’t means that there are no answers in principle.
