All cataloguing/indexing software I know of is kinda bad. Especially if you're not running a whole library/collection. The open source projects in this space are under cooked[0], and the enterprise ones are expensive and labyrinthine in use.

Maybe Access or some other DBMS would be better suited.

I guess it does hint that litter, food waste etc. are also problematic. Could be clearer though.
> Professional structural engineers, for example, are used to taking liability for their designs and buildings. But with software security the complexity is nearly infinitely higher, and making it secure is much harder to guarantee.

I'm not sure about your claim that structural engineering is less complex, but there's another (arguably much more significant) difference: structural safety is against an indifferent adversary (the weather, and physics); software security is against a malicious adversary. If someone with resources wants to take down a building (with exception for certain expensive military installations), no amount of structural engineering is going to stop them. Software that isn't vulnerable to cyberattacks should be compared to a bunker that isn't vulnerable to coordinated artillery strikes, not to your average building.

For me, Xiidra combined with once a day Pataday (which actually dries the eye, but for me helped stem inflammation that was harming my ability to form a tear film), plus this iTEAR device (https://olympicophthalmics.com/itear-100/), was incredibly helpful.

I’d also recommend getting a humidifier for each of your main rooms and using distilled water with it.

You'd be suprised by the amount of people who haven't got the memo.
If customers want their software vendors to take liability for software defects (including security vulnerabilities) then they can just negotiate that into licensing agreements. We don't need the federal government to get involved with new laws or regulations.
Yeah I definitely agree. Any time spent prototyping is easily worth it (and I mean real prototyping, not "prototype that you add features too until it's the product").

I once spent a few weeks protecting a project with different GUI toolkits. I think I spent a week each on Qt, AngularDart and Vue. I wanted to spend one more week trying React but my boss was just itching to "start" and couldn't wait one more week.

We went with Vue, which turned out to be a terrible decision (I'm not sure about Vue 3, but Vue 2 at least is shit compared to React). Guess what we spent 6 months doing later... all to save one week.

Arrow Electronics has been involved with freelancer.com for many years, so it might be ok for FPGA. I think an old colleague used it for some embedded stuff (not FPGA) and was pretty happy with it.

Allistic people tend to feel a need to believe in something, even (especially) if they cannot produce evidence for it. This is called "faith" and widely regarded as a virtue because it gives structure and purpose to an existence that largely came about by accident. Jesus is fairly middle of the road in terms of horribleness of things to have faith in.

I've lived on an impoverished tropical island which was covered by a thick layer of plastic and cans. Somebody explained to me: "these folks have been throwing away their waste mindlessly for generations, the problem now is that all this pollution does not degrade"

>It's so easy to put an empty plastic bottle in a bin

you're not solving the plastic pollution problem, you are only sending your waste to pollute Thailand.

The solution to the mass-death that a plasticised environment is causing is not to blame the victims, but to analyse the root of the problem: entrepreneurs and factory owners who abuse plastic because it's cheap
Strongly disagree with “Do the Refactoring First”. It is inevitable that your project will grow in ways you can’t anticipate. If you spend too much time up front on architecture, one of two things will happen:

1. You build abstractions that are not useful in the future, or

2. Worse, you build abstractions that constrain you from making future changes.

Of course, either of these can happen anyway, but at least then you haven’t wasted a bunch of time refactoring before you know how your code base will grow.

I prefer this approach from The Grug Brained Developer:[1]

> next strategy very harder: break code base up properly (fancy word: "factor your code properly") here is hard give general advice because each system so different. however, one thing grug come to believe: not factor your application too early!

> early on in project everything very abstract and like water: very little solid holds for grug's struggling brain to hang on to. take time to develop "shape" of system and learn what even doing. grug try not to factor in early part of project and then, at some point, good cut-points emerge from code base

> …

> grug try watch patiently as cut points emerge from code and slowly refactor, with code base taking shape over time along with experience. no hard/ fast rule for this: grug know cut point when grug see cut point, just take time to build skill in seeing, patience

> sometimes grug go too early and get abstractions wrong, so grug bias towards waiting

My post was in response to someone claiming that not only is it pointless to make friends with coworkers, it is actively disadvantageous.

In contacts of the greater discussion, I'm sure some people like you are capable of developing these relationships virtually, while others are not. That said, I wouldn't trust a virtual coworker a thousand miles away to watch my kids, haha.

I'd be interested in other people's recommendations as well. Personally I'm mostly using openchat with q5_k_m quantization.

OpenChat is imho one of the best 7B models, and while I could run bigger models at least for me they monopolize too many resources to keep them loaded all the time.
"Omega-3" is as vague and underdescriptive term as "marihuana". We're better educated now and we can focus on the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) where it comes to Omega 3. And we can point at THC, CBN, CBD or any of the 100+ other cannabinoids present in cannabis flowers when we describe "marihuana", "weed" or "pot".

And there's a reason behind my local pharmacy offering THC-focused or CBD-focused pot, and my local supplements store offering DHA-focused and EPA-focused softgels, produced by the same company and under the same brand. How these these products act varies by active substances content and the person. Both "Omega 3" and "marihuana" are dumbed-down terms, meaningless when it comes to studies or papers.

There's a ton of studies on nih.gov about EPA's potential as an antidepressant, misaligned with DHA-related articles on the subject, that I could link. But I can say - purely anecdotally - that I removed psypost.org feed from my RSS reader a few months after ChatGPT became public.

As mostly a startup dev I’ve never worked in a company with a runway long enough to afford worrying about a potential rewrite 5 years in the future. I’ve had to rewrite some of the most spaghetti founder code ever, but surviving long enough to do so was a sign of success.

Author isn’t wrong per se, but code purity isn’t always a worthwhile goal, and needs to be balanced by the needs of the business. Virtually all of the code I’ve written over the years has been tossed by acquiring companies moving everything to “their stack”, acquihire, company shutting down, product pivots, or better 3rd party software becoming available/affordable. I’ve pushed some trash tier code over the years because it worked just well enough to drive growth/revenue and keep the lights on.

There's a lot of plugins/IDEs for assistant style LLMs, but the only TAB style autocompletion ones I know of are either proprietary (Github Copilot), or you need to get an API key (Codestral). If anyone knows of a local autocomplete model I'd love to hear about it.

The Continue extension (Jetbrains, VSCodium) lets you set up assistant and autocompletion independently with different API keys.
Yes. Quoting https://www.businessinsider.com/high-school-teacher-all-scho... :

> In talking to teachers across the country, the reasons phone policies don't work or are not implemented center on three main issues: safety (parents want their children to be reachable, especially during our era of heightened school violence), liability (phones are expensive, and in some districts, teachers have been held liable when they confiscated a phone the student later claimed was damaged), and lack of clear, consistent policy support (it can be difficult to rally an entire staff around a policy, maintain energy for its consistent enforcement, and make sure the work of its enforcement is upheld equitably).

They are not wrong on that thet just make the same error the socialisys do in thinking that is the solution for all time. The solution foe all time ia to both realize the end state of a free market is monopoly and the end state of a state monopoly is stagnation so one needs to focus the government on being proactive and allowing both to compete and put the finger of government on the scale to favor private when public is stagnating and favor public when private ia monopolizing.

This isn't funny. Mice and rats are among the most intelligent animals used in research, and despite ethical regulations on their treatment, they are often ignored. Many of these animals endure severe procedures without adequate pain relief, or none at all. This widespread suffering also causes mental health problems for many of the researchers who have to regularly euthanize them. These animals sacrifice their lives to improve human health and well-being. At the very least, we should show respect for their pain and suffering, which is undertaken for our benefit.
A big problem i see is how people are taxed.
Not enough tax is collected on asset accumulation and too much is collected productive activities.

And look at the madness of housing benefit. The taxpayer tops up a low income person's rent. This is essentially taxpayer subsidy of landlords. No wonder a large number of MPs are landlords.

But i agree that govt is far too large.
Sure, very opinionated but here we go: dating, it’s about matching personality. Do the hexaco.org test, figure out how to identify the extreme dimensions on your profile that you identify with (openness in my case). Learn to find those women. Now be prepared to talk to 10000 women by cold approaching or through online dating. It usually takes more like 200 for a GF but you will be doing socially uncomfortable things, so having a hardcore mindset helps.

Cold approaching respectfully is a small course on its own, especially since I deviate from standard advice because I test what works for me. TL;DR: approach respectfully (safe and it’s nice) yet playfully or curiously (fun and not boring).

Online dating: enhance your pictures with AI as if it is the best picture of you ever taken. Test this with a few throwaway dates by telling them that your pictures were edited. Bonus points if they aren’t deterred by it (it means they can take candor). If they are, well it was a throwaway date anyway. Have throwaway dates in general. These are dates with women you genuinely like but you test certain things. All the things you test should have a screening effect (aka if they like it, it means they match you better), that’s how you make testing things ethical. Also, use an autoswiper and don’t get caught doing it.

What helps: meditation, social courage (better than confidence as my confidence is quite low but my courage is crazy high), studying charisma (as it pertains to your personality).

That’s a very short tl;dr. I am probably missing things. Feel free to email to chat about it. I desperately need career advice for in the EU.

Docker is the container engine. Swarm is the orchestration, the same as Kubernetes. The concept of "Service" in k8s takes care of a lot of the proxying, while still using Docker (not anymore tho). In Swarm, services exist but only take care of container lifecycle and not traffic. While networking is left to the containers, Swarm services always get in the way, causing issues that will require a proxy.

In k8s for example, you can use Docker and won't need a proxy for ZDD (while you might want one for Ingress and other uses)

I admire the heck out of the two coworkers I've had who were smart enough to stand up & go for a walk to think. Or to have a 1:1.

I didn't face a ton of unscheduled conflict for my time, and there were many rooms available at that job. But the change in perspective was amazing, just so much power to help me really consider things in new light.

It's funny because I grew up with Steve Roberts as my role model of role models, as the guy who showed me that being an adult could be fun & interesting, with his work-from-bike Winnebiko. And I was a seasoned coffee shop coder, which I found amazing with its change of scene & deliberateness. But seeing Adam have such a practice of getting up, grabbing a notebook (also a seasoned writing-things-down person; another key element of Hammock Driven Design), and going for a stroll (DC's Rock Creek Park was a bit over half a mile away) was amazing, really opened me up.

As other comments mention, Rich Hickey's Hammock Driven Design is excellent, amazing. Some deliberateness about figuring out what we are doing, letting the waking mind come up with problems and possibilities, and giving time and written down ideas for the passive/sleeping mind to cycle through options & combine them... Kind of like protein synthesis, a soup of amino acids/ideas and your mind as rna, blindly bumping elements together to see if they bond. https://youtu.be/f84n5oFoZBc
What you say makes sense. But what if we need to generate 50 times more electricity than we do now? At some point solar and wind energy will start being very expensive because we'll run out of cheap land. You might think 50 is absurd, but consider this: right now only about 30% of our energy consumption (and therefore emissions) is electricity. If we want to cut emissions to zero, we need to transition most of our energy use to electricity. The big culprits are transportation, steel, concrete and fertilizers. That's a factor of 3. Then we want to increase everyone's standards of living to match the current standard of living of the average American or European person. That's another factor of 3. Then we want to increase our (clean) energy use. Each SpaceX Starship launch puts about 5000 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions in the atmosphere. If, as Elon wants, we end up having hundreds or thousands of launches per day, and we want these launches to be net zero, then we need to find a way to manufacture hundreds of millions of tons of synthetic fuel each year. AI will also consume a lot of electricity. We will also need to build cities, if we are to lift billions of people out of their current rural life (in Africa, South America, India, etc). Everybody talks about solar as if the goal is to replace the current generation capacity. But the goal is to do that, and then more, much, much more. I think you need nuclear for that.

There are at least two different optimizations happening:

1) optimizing the model training

2) optimizing the model operation

The $1B-spend holy grail is that it costs a lot of money to train, and almost nothing to operate, a proprietary model that benchmarks and chats better than anyone else’s.

OpenAI’s optimizations fall into the latter category. The risk to the business model is in the former — if someone can train a world-beating model without lots of money, it’s a tough day for the big players.
I experimented with both Exo and llama.cpp in RPC-server mode this week. Using an M3 Max and an M1 Ultra in Exo specifically I was able to get around 13 tok/s on DeepSeek 2.5 236B (using MLX and a 4 bit quant with a very small test prompt - so maybe 140 gigs total of model+cache). It definitely took some trial and error but the Exo community folks were super helpful/responsive with debugging/advice.
