You should consult with a tax attorney, and maybe an immigration attorney. Working without authorization on an F1 visa seems like asking for a lot of trouble, especially in the current political climate. I don't think it comes down to "structuring founder compensation compliantly," if you can't legally work in the USA with your visa then any compensation, and attempts to make it look "compliant," will just count against you if caught.

Yes, there’s state there that’s not in the board position, but technically, threefold repetition is not a draw. Play can go on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threefold_repetition:

“The game is not automatically drawn if a position occurs for the third time – one of the players, on their turn, must claim the draw with the arbiter. The claim must be made either before making the move which will produce the third repetition, or after the opponent has made a move producing a third repetition. By contrast, the fivefold repetition rule requires the arbiter to intervene and declare the game drawn if the same position occurs five times, needing no claim by the players.”

From the article:

> Brecht says his lab members didn’t initially believe Anchali was smart enough to deliberately sabotage Mary. But several things convinced them that the pachyderm knew exactly what she was doing. Kinking the hose is a complex behavior that requires a lot of twisting and pressure. Over the weeks in which the researchers were studying Mary’s showers, Anchali began to kink the hose more frequently and got better at it, suggesting she was practicing and learning. She also started to stand on the hose—something the caretakers had specifically trained the elephants not to do.
When I studied comp sci around 2000, women were actively discouraged from continuing their classes by professors. During an oral exam, a prof told a female friend of mine that women had no place in comp sci. As a result, not many women graduated, so two decades ago, there were just fewer women in the field in general.

I'm not sure what exactly qualifies as a "legacy game engine", but given the small number of women who worked in comp sci when games were made ten or twenty years ago, and particularly in male-dominated videogame studios, I would naturally not expect to see a lot of cis women with experience working on these engines (or on related tech stacks) today.

This seems like a bit of a special case, rather than a general representation of women in software engineering.

Pretraining or even post-training is cumbersome, complex and expensive. What is easy and cheap is in-context learning, which is why I just pull in the documentation I need the LLM to know about into the LLM's context.

How would you "handle the async" at a different layer? If you were to call sync crypto methods, they'd block the event loop no matter where you call them - unless you call them from a Worker, at which point they're async calls again.

The only real use case would be small scripts where you don't care about sync/async, but experience shows that devs will abuse the sync functions in scenarios where the async ones would be appropriate.
CSS was doomed from the start, IMO. It was a poorly-targeted solution to a the wrong problem that could never have worked. But you don't have to use it. You can keep using tables for layout, all browsers render them well (generally faster than CSS, and with better progressive rendering too), real-world screenreaders and the like have had great support for them since before CSS emerged, there's no actual downside.

I look forward to the inevitable collision of Trump and Musk, two giant narcissistic egos who can't share the spotlight. Like two black holes colliding. If Musk had the "high IQ" he says he has he can look at Trump's history of breaking promises and alliances, and throwing his closest followers under the bus. Just look at sycophant-in-chief Rudy Giuliani having to sell his shoes in bankruptcy.

Both Trump and Musk claim they have very high IQs, so we should get a nuclear-level example of a Mensa meeting pissing match before too long.

Oh, for sure. It's another consequence of making a metric the target. At one time a university degree had more than a signaling value (granted, it still does for many), but we decided to focus on maximizing degrees held, rather than the quality of those degrees / degree holders. So here we are.

Is that an elitist position? I guess it is, in a way. On the other hand, many positions which now have a degree (or a degree from the right school) as a (hidden or overt) requirement could be just as capably done by many who don't hold those dubious qualifications. Credentialism runs hand-in-hand with elite overproduction.

I also don't get it, debuggers as integral part of the programming workflow are a productivity multiplier. It does seem to be a fairly popular opinion in some programmer circles that step-debugging is useless, but I guess they never really used a properly integrated debugger to begin with (not a surprise tbh if all they know is gdb in the terminal).
Yes, it may be true that LLMs may never cross that chasm. But I wonder what if LLMs provide continuous help and suggestions even though there may be useless suggestions, will people consider it a helpful AI assistant?

I have confidence you can find many people with the same fantasy. I mean goals. You don't even mention what kind of domain expertise you need.

Construction, supply chains, healthcare, and probably most of what you swept up into "etc." are not "non-traditionally-technical" unless that means "not usually run by nerds and tech bros." All of those industries have long and deep reliance on technology. From my own experience, technology in logistics and supply chains predates software development and "tech" as a discrete industry.

It's not really digital quantisation that's the problem, but everything else that happens during mixing - which is a much more complicated process, especially for pop/rock/electronic etc., than just "sum all the signals together".

There's a bunch of other stuff that happens during and after summing which makes it much harder to reliably 100% reverse that process.
This still requires a lot of coincidences, like they chose to use a terrible chess engine for their external tool (why?), they left it on in the background for all calls via all APIs for only gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct (why?), they see business value in this specific model being good at chess vs other things (why?).

You say it makes sense but how does it make sense for OpenAI to add overhead to all of its API calls for the super niche case of people playing 1800 ELO chess/chat bots? (that often play illegal moves, you can go try it yourself)

Debuggers are not only useful for actual debugging as in 'finding and fixing bugs', they are basically interactive program state explorers. Also "once it compiles, it works" is true for every programming language unless you're a complete newbie. The interesting bugs usually only manifest after your code is hammered by actual users and/or realworld data.
I don't need wired to "educate myself" over internet censorship. It's hilarious that after benefitting over a decade from left leaning censorship by platforms suddenly its a huge problem when the same platforms supposedly censor the other way. Once again the solution would be to treat public internet spaces like public spaces in real life but ofc you wouldn't like that because other peoples opinions are literally hitler :)
> There are literally companies stuck on PHP 7 because going to 8 is too painful.

Usually due to frameworks. Those tend to do play fast and loose with language constructs so small changes can make them not work anymore. And as those same framework will also break a lot more things between version, you cannot easily upgrade them, so you cannot upgrade your php version.

Currently maintaining an internal symfony 1 website so I know the pain. At least the documentation of old symfony is still available unlike many more modern frameworks.

I can get continuous and mostly useless "help and suggestions" from my children or parents. I don't consider that helpful in terms of getting my work done.

If LLMs could do what you describe then maybe they would get more traction. Right now they seem to hold our interest out of novelty, like a talking bird, and maybe help some people who have worse skill issues than the LLMs. I may have it wrong but I think the leap from current LLMs to software that truly understands and can reason like a person will prove very difficult.

What's the issue you have with AI?
VM?
Virtual machine?
You might personally have seen a deer just once, but human evolution, and animal evolution prior to that have practiced this skill a lot. AI doesn't have the advantage of evolutionary priors baked in, so it needs explicit walking through many combinations to infer its structure from data, and is remarkably efficient. GPT-4 'only' trained on the amount of language that 30,000 humans use in their lifetime.

But we have seen from AlphaGo that when training data is extensive, it can rediscover strategy on its own and even surpass us. It's not inherently worse than human learning.
Shakedown? It's the fucking law, either these companies follow it if they want to do business or they get punished.

I'd say Douglas Adams novels are full of superintelligent and/or superpowered entities that don't always think things through properly. There's a serious Murphy's Law flavor to his scenarios, even if you're the President of the Galaxy or the Man Who Rules the Universe or a planetary engineer or the most intelligent robot ever built or whatever. You're still going to trip and fall, or experience unrequited love, or get stranded on a boring planet, or have an embarrassing misunderstanding, or concoct a wacky scheme that goes wrong somehow.
Wait, wait. You ought to write tests for javascript react html form validation boilerplate. Not that.

/s aside, it’s what we all experience too. There’s a great divide between programming pre-around-2015 and thereafter. LLMs can only do recent programming, which is a product of tons of money getting loaded into the industry and creating jobs that made no sense ten years ago. Basically, the more repetitive boilerplate patterns configuration options import blocks row-obj-dto-obj conversion typecheck bullshit you write per day, the more LLMs help. I mean, one could abstract all that away using regular programming, but how would they sell their work for $^6 an AI for $^9 then?

Just yesterday, after reading yet another “oh you must try again” comment, I asked 4o about how to stop puppeteer from dumping errors into console and exit gracefully when I close the headful browser (all logs and code provided). Right away it slided into nonsense. I always finish my chats with what I think about it uncut, just in case someone uses these for further learning.
I hate to say this, but you probably can only achieve x2 using AI on the "easy" parts of your work. Going by the 80/20 rule:

- 80% of your work is easy, and is accomplished in 20% of the time
- 20% of your work is hard, and takes 80% of the time

If you believe AI can x2 that easy 80% of your work, you have only managed to reduce that 20% to 10%. Someone else can work out that x improvement (1.11?), but it's nowhere near x2.
