Maybe instead of hallucinate? Use 'BS'?

To anthropomorphize even more. Since humans will also just create "BS" as an answer if they don't know the answer, or will combine half bits of knowledge into something to sound like they know what they are talking about.
depends whatchu did at said FAANG and who is doing the hiring. but generally agree.

places like the GOOG are so far out there in terms of tooling and approaches (and size, and bureaucracy, etc.) that you end up with a hire who is damn good at whatever unique internal tooling and job sets are, but can't handle anything else.

they'll expect 250k at minimum, get surly when they don't get it, constantly look to jump or climb, and won't jive with the culture, esp. once that's still using a lot of the more basic approaches that are more common in larger, non-STEM enterprise orgs.

inevitably these guys jump in 1.5 years or less, and achieve nothing of note in that time, except harping on how great tool X is at Meta, or how we did Y at the GOOG and everyone else should. or some sort of PTSD from working at Amazon.

after a couple rounds of getting burned by people with amazing resumes we are now weary of the FAANG pedigree.

It's hoarding behavior. They paid "a lot" of money for it, have no idea how to further exploit it, but can't shake the feeling that it might be massively valuable one day.

The only difference is they pay someone to hold their hoard for them.
At neon we only worry about hyperscalers particularly Amazon. But they already have Aurora so we just open source everything under Apache 2.0

The NYT is not a left wing organization. It aligns, mostly, with a centrist Democrat politically. That position puts it pretty center right on the global scale.

A left wing paper would typically be pretty anti capitalist, anti imperial, etc. which the NYT is definitely not.

This is a global forum, it's important to remember that while the democrats in the US are called "the left" there, they really really are not a left wing party.
If only it would tell you "You've criticized the war effort that day in 2004", in stead it will do parallel construction. The end game will be a kind of SEO for human profiles and we will live happily ever after by the best practice guide lines.
Elected politicians compete intensely with each other. Polling, focus groups, and pandering are common in democratic countries because people running for office want to do things that make voters like them. The system is far from perfect but you seem to be arguing that the government is free to use violence however it wants without consequence which is not at all realistic.
To me it seems that even software engineers and bankers in US and UK, at least those who don’t have parental support, will struggle to ever attain the things that are achievable to moderately ambitious european kids from the lowest wealth and income deciles at 25-30 in a wide range of professions: 40 hour workweeks, comfortable middle class lifestyle, home ownership in appreciating, investment grade old real estate in historical city centres.
Sometimes they might also ship outdated versions, e.g. the last released version of Fira Sans is 4.301, but Google still only serves version 4.203. Plus technically Fira Sans has been superseded by Fira Go, which includes additional scripts, but Google doesn't offer that one at all.
A great way to learn something is to listen to a conversation among two to four well informed and articulate people, where each person has a memorable personality and each person has a different perspective about the topic.

This Google Illuminate experiment shows how just listening to two voices discuss a technical paper for three minutes is far more effective than reading a three-minute AI summary of the paper.

Imagine if there were three or four voices, with varied personalities, more humor and sarcasm, different priorities and points of view, and even a little disagreement.

Then imagine you're not just listening to the conversation, but you're participating in it. That seems like a pretty amazing way to learn.
A package manager for a software stack the does not change that often (a) can move managed services like databases, message queues or even more complex obseravbility tools inside the cluster with the same convenience of a manage service.

If your setup become more complex and changes often (b) a I would recommend breaking it up into smaller pieces.

For both scenarios it makes sense to use git to keep track of revision and previous states of your Kubernetes cluster and incorporate review processes with pull requests.
That’d be a pretty inefficient way to generate bullshit at scale

Ola from windmill.dev, another open-source VC-backed company using AGPL. We actually spoke before your pivot and we now have a bit overlap on the dashboard builder but our audience is fairly separate.

Congrats, you made what I believe is the best move a software company can do in our space. You will hear a lot of naysayers, and sure the software we build is not as permissive as Apache 2.0 and MIT. Those are all true and valid points. It's also true that VCs have perverse incentives and as a naturally skeptic myself, I understand not wanting to touch it.

Let me bring a little bit of counter-points to those:

- AGPL or Commercial Open-Source Software would probably just not exist at all if there was no path to commercialization at all. So the dichotomy between making it true MIT or AGPL is a false one, it's the choice between proprietary/no software and AGPL and I think we can all agree the latter is better. Software Engineers need to eat and there is a pool of talented engineers for whom glory is not fully sufficient and also need their work to be a reasonable financial paths. This enables more SWE to compete to build more software and make the software landscape more competitive for the benefit of the end-users.

- Taking VC money is not signing a pact with the devil that strips away your entire freedom, especially at @lucasfcosta stage and ours. The real issue is with being fully dependent on that money by having bad financial health and needing to raise in X months. COSS company like ours can stay lean and profitable, taking just the right amount of money from VC to kickstart a long-term journey to become a behemoth of a software company through having advantages over all the proprietary alternatives. Windmill for instance is profitable, and no investors has ever pressured us to go faster or monetize more. 99% of our users are using the free/open-source version but the 1% that is not is made of medium and large enterprises that hugely appreciate running their infra on open-source software that they can easily audit and contribute to. It would have been SO MUCH harder to convince them without being open-source given our size. Another fact that helps is pricing but that is also related to our open-source nature. It's harder to over-price your large customers because at a certain point they can say screw it, they will just build in-house to go above the proprietary features. All that to say that companies do have incentives but also are made of humans which have their own values and goals, and have some agenda to set their own path, especially early on. It's all about balance and I would argue taking a bit of VC money at the seed-stage at a good valuation and then not much more is the optimal path right now.

My honest opinion, asking customers not to do business doesn't really make sense as customer demand can add to the pressure on management when their workers are not to be found and all they have are temps who are, actually, crossing the picket line. I never understood this stance. It sounds much more like a morality stance than one based on strategy to get management to the table.
NYT is by far the biggest success story in digital news. They are still building their subscriber base by making themselves a full-on lifestyle brand. Aside from being the preeminent newspaper in probably the whole world, they are driving a ton of engagement with games, cooking, wirecutter and The Athletic. Not to mention how much they leverage visual and data-driven journalism. I'd also imagine they are a huge juicy target for hackers of all stripes with all the info they are sitting on and the people they piss off.
This is the way I went, thank you <3
I don't fully agree with how neutral is defined. The US has always been a right leaning country for better and worse. I might be able to agree with Allsides on a relative scale but I think all corporate media has a right leaning bias relative to what one would expect from non-profit media. Since very few people regularly consume non-profit media, it is not surprising to me that the NYTimes appears on the left even though I do not agree that it is on an absolute scale.
That all makes a lot of sense! I didn't know about git rerere - maybe I'll make a point to try jj out if it has optimized the diff resolution...

It also closely matches how I actually work, but the twist that you get to pick what time to perform the resolution. If you frequently integrate, your changes are considered newer than whatever was downstream, and so you don't have to re-perform any of your changes....buuut if you have a stack of commits that can take a long while. Plus, you might upset your IDE if there are frequent file changes, so I avoid integrating too often...

It's a nice concept. My one question - can you track history across branches? I frequently "save old state" just in case I need something pre-integrate or my IDE is dumb and something's locked/gets wiped/AV freaks out and deletes my repo files... It sounds like you could sort of easily build that sort of thing on top...

How has the current White House mistreated Elon's ventures? For Tesla, the tax credit is still there, they pushed for and adopted the Tesla charger as the North American standard; heck they even levied a 100% tax against Chinese EVs (and batteries, and solar panels). SpaceX is still getting tons of federal money, it just got a billion dollar contract to deorbit ISS at the end of its life. It seems like policy is really working in Elon's favor right now to me.
Makes me wish we didn't stop advancing optical media technology to where we have cheap and reliable archival quality 1TB discs for a few bucks each. I guess LTO is the best option for personally controlled archival.

Totally agree with this advice. The only caveat would be that there can be legal issues with charging money to work on a product that has specific licenses, whether or not you own it. You need to do some research (or maybe you could ask the company to do that research) to make sure you don't have to do some copyright wrangling to do this legally.

Canada has the big 5 / 6 and then a lot of credit unions. Still not 1/10 as many as the good old USA, and that's one industry.
That twitter thread is brigaded by a blue-mark army of Elon fans who seem confident this was done by Biden administration.

Private companies can have strategic value, too. The capabilities of SpaceX is what puts the entire US on the top of the current space technology race.

> The complexity of a massive org like the NYT is significantly non trivial.

I think that is the point. At face value what they produce, simply should not be that complex. It seems it’s complex for the sake of being a big complex organization. And unions will only solidify that into stone to prevent any sort of optimization that would bring the complexity down.

The Dutch government is spending billions to keep ASML in The Netherlands. To circumvent these prohibitions, the money doesn't go directly to ASML but is invested in better infrastructure, housing and education in the local area. More trains and busses to bring people to the company, better energy grid to power all the ASML offices, more money towards STEM studies of the local universities so they are creating the new ASML workforce, building extra homes so the company can hire more people.

Plus tax cuts for the employees of ASML, which is fully legal under EU legislation and prohibitions.

I do see a bit of a difference between a summit organized by an elected official and bureaucrats in unelected positions exerting personal influence. At some level when we elect someone we elect them based upon how they will exercise their discretionary authority. The role of the president isn't simply to carry out process. There is discretion and how they execute the duties of their office and holding a summit as in your example is one of those things. The recourse here is that is an elected official and if the people are unhappy with how they're executing that discretionary duties they simply elect another person.

When you're talking about a bureaucratic lifer at some agency who is supposed to implement regulations and regulatory oversight that Congress has enacted that's a completely different thing. What recourse do the people have if this non-elected bureaucrat is not acting in an impartial way when they execute their duties?

The point of organizing a union is to negotiate a contract. One that includes terms that individual workers wouldn't have been able to secure on their own.

A union that's recognized but doesn't have a contract may as well not be a union at all. Basically the only power they can exercise is to strike.
Sony says "up to 45% faster rendering" in the PS5 Pro so, I certainly think we can compare.

That sets an upper bound for the performance increase we can expect, does it not? I certainly doubt they'd be underselling the perf gains.

45% faster rendering would get it up to about the performance of an RTX 4060 from what I'm seeing.

If that's true, this is certainly a solid upgrade. I don't play a lot of AAA games but my RTX 4060 can do 1080p @ 60-144fps at mostly maxed settings. Whereas stock PS5 certainly seems to struggle to hit that. (If I understand correctly, I could use the magic upscaling crap to get similar results at 4K but haven't had the inclination to mess with it)

Hire an auditor would be my advice. Every business is different.

I am, just now, having flashbacks of when I was in a SOX environment and had to regularly contract with them... and while the experience can be somewhat unpleasant I've often found good auditors to be extremely knowledgeable about solutions and their practical implementation considerations.
It means that even though there are members in the guild/union, the company NYT negotiates individually with every member of the guild/union instead of going through the guild/union.

The entire worker benefit of the union is collective bargaining and NYT has rejected working with the unions.
This piece reminds me of something I did earlier this year https://www.infoq.com/articles/llm-productivity-experiment/ where I conducted an experiment across several LLMs but it was a one-shot prompt about generating unit tests. Though there were significant differences in the results, the conclusions seem to me to be similar.

When an LLM is prompted, it generates a response by predicting the most probable continuation or completion of the input. It considers the context provided by the input and generates a response that is coherent, relevant, and contextually appropriate but not necessarily correct.

I like the crowdsourcing metaphor. Back when crowdsourcing was the next big think in application development, there was always a curatorial process that filters out low quality content then distills the "wisdom of the crowds" into more actionable results. For AI, that would be called supervised learning which definitely increases the costs.

I think that unbiased and authentic experimentation and measurement of hallucinations in generative AI is important and hope that this effort continues. I encourage the folks here to participate in that in order to monitor the real value that LLMs provide and also as an ongoing reminder that human review and supervision will always be a necessity.
The advice I got long ago from an IT guy was: if you wait long enough, tape will be on top again.

That was a long time ago but I’ve peeked in at backup systems in the intervening years and it does seem to hold true over time.

But it really depends how much data you have. My ex dropped a single HDD in a safety deposit box at CoB, N times per week and fetched back the oldest disk. I don’t think she ever said how many were in there but I doubt it was more than three. I think the CTO took one home with him once per week.

The silly thing about most of this set up is that the office, the bank, and the data center were all within half a kilometer of each other. If something bad happened to that part of town they only had the infrequent offsite backup.

I mean, even if by contract they were supposed to store physical media with the backups, it is still horrible incompetence to not have the same data backed up twice, and from time to time test the disks for failure to rebuild the backup from one of the copies.

It would be extremely unlikely for both disks to fail together.

What I'm describing is the bare minimum. This is their job, by all accounts. Amazing.
Is it faster than the integrated bun bundler?
Let me explain a bit more about "you can use resources that you forget to create and it will only crash at runtime instead of giving a compile time error".

Plugins are the main abstraction in Bevy. A plugin has two parts: build and run. Build creates stuff, and run uses stuff created by build and created by the build of other plugins running at the same time.

Build is pure side-effects, so the result type of build tells you nothing about what it builds. Therefore there are no types that can constrain what resources run uses, and therefore failing to create a resource that is used in run is a run-time, not compile-time error.

The alternative is the build returns a type representing the collection of resources it creates, and run's type is a collection of resources it uses. This requires some type level programming (a type level heterogeneous set). This is some of the simplest type level programming, but type level programming itself is quite foreign to most programmers. I assume this is why the Bevy developers went for the easier to write solution that doesn't enforce constraints at compile-time.

More generally, just like in regular programming some things are easier and some are harder to do in common type systems.

Your first example (integer constrained to a range) is harder because you need to solve linear inequations at compile-time, which is not a feature of most type systems (though see refined types).

You second example (must call a method) is relatively easy with linear types, as they express "must do something with this value".

It depends on what specifically Iron Mountain is selling you. A place to store your physical data device or are they promising to keep your data available? The former sounds cheaper and easier for Iron Mountain. Given Iron Mountain started in the 1950s, redundantly backing up customer data was infeasibly expensive for most of the company’s lifetime.
I'm fairly excited for this use case. I recently made the switch from Audible to Libby for my audiobook needs. Overall, it's been good/fine, but I get disappointed when the library only has text copies of a book I want to listen to. Often times they aren't especially popular books so it seems unlikely they'll get a voiceover anytime soon. Using AI to narrate these books will solve a real problem I experience currently :)
