Sure. It's not hard to verify, in the user ui, function calls are very transparent.

And in the api, all of the common features like maths and search are just not there. You can implement them yourself.

You can compare with self hosted models like llama and the performance is quite similar.

You can also jailbreak and get shell into the container to get some further proof
You might be right, I don't have the data to know. But it might just feel that way, because previously it was entirely left-wing political content that was being pushed.

I don't disagree. However the commit messages should have some meaning.

Looking at the repo closer, it appears the commit messages are release numbers:

Commit 91: https://github.com/gliimly/gliimly/commit/956f8001890d85a4d3...

Release 91: https://gliimly.blogspot.com/2024/11/gliimly-91-released.htm...

Which, if the case, is even more awful. Now to understand the change history, I need to consult/cross-reference some documentation page that might 404 in the future. Additionally, the releases have many un-related changes grouped together (as one would expect for a release, not a commit).

Lately I've become fond of the squash-merge. All development is in a branch, and to merge you open a Pull Request (or equivalent on whatever platform you use). The PR gets squashed into one commit that references the original PR, which retains all of the commit history and discussion/review comments. Best of all worlds in my opinion, and frees developers to commit freely without consequence or care.
This reads like an ad.

memetic pressure = desire to be like everyone else.

Having lots of kids is counter-cultural. I have three children, which is not that much. However, being in a well-off neighborhood full of cultural 'elite's in Portland, OR means that I am a pariah. I am especially a pariah because I enthusiastically say we want more. THis means we don't do what the other people are doing. Hence, we're resisting the memetic pressure.

Another way of saying this, on an economic front, would be 'keeping up with the Joneses'. If you ever read the millionaire next door stuff, you'll notice the main thing these people have is the ability to resist the pressure to spend. That, in addition to the magic of compound interest, which also applies to fertility rates, means that they end up with disproportionately more capital.
Yep I used it at my last job and it worked great! Startup times were horrible, but that didn't matter so much to us and it solved tons of problems we had with people messing up their python environments. Takes some tweaking to get certain modules (like scikit-rf) to work, but never found an issue that couldn't be solved.

Would recommend!
Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Yes, but this is different:

int (* foo) [3]

This is a pointer to an array of 3 ints.

And you could pass this to an appropriate function as an argument, to pass the whole array, not just a decayed pointer.

And more generally, I'd group things as unambiguously as possible even in your example:

int * (foo [3])

to make the intent clearer

This is interesting, I mean A.S. was talking about the merchant class but I suppose infosec professionals as well as commercial parties attend defcon. Are there market-directed shennanigans going alongside the tech workshops and talks? I wonder what Crowdstrike and AWS executives talk about at those kind of industry gatherings. I guess the NSA isn't a commercial interest exactly...

Your idea seems to build on what people often do with virtual, credit card numbers. They use different numbers for different businesses. If they get ripped off, they can narrow down which business was used for that.

On top of that, different points of contact might also have different, response policies. Like your existing customers vs targeted leads vs random people. You’d really want to know which were calling you.
> We really need to get serious about improving our transportation infrastructure.

Better yet, we really need to consider urbanization. That way everything you need is right there by your own two feet. No need for any extra special transportation at all.

It seems people have a burning desire to live the rural lifestyle, though, even in so-called cities. I'm not sure we can actually overcome that pressure.

Isn't it in your interest that developers unlock the potential of your hardware in some new ways? Charging for it seems... weird.

I've had one since 2015 and so many issues. When I share them on Reddit I'm downvoted into oblivion for going against the cult

This has been used by doctors and is not free - this is how I found it.
It seems that it is all fond memories for people whose first program was written in BASIC ... I am one of them.

Thank you, Thomas Kurtz, for starting us on a life-changing adventure.
I guess I owe a lot to Mr Kurtz too.

The first time I signed into a dial-up BBS, it asked me to make up a handle. My GWBasic manual was sitting in front of me. I still use that name to this day.
I'm surprised at all the positive mentions of gather town. It just looked like a childish gimmick to me? I was tempted to log in and make some jokes about the pool being closed but I didn't want to out myself like that at work.
If one does want to get into FANNG-like companies or whatever those acronyms are, I'd suggest a few practical tips.

- Use probability as your advantage. Or put it another way, perseverance works. Do recognize that interviewing is a hit-and-miss game. Say with your preparation your chance of getting into any of your top 10 companies is 30% -- a pretty low number just for us to steelman argument. Let's say you can try each companies three times a year (most companies have cool-down period per department instead of per company). Then in 5 years, you can try 30 times. The probability of failing all of them is 0.3^30 ~ 10^-16. That is, practically, zero. Of course, this assumes that each attempt is independent of each other, and we can maximize such assumption by keeping learning the lessons of failures. By the way, this is also a reason why one can see so many so-so engineers in a big companies.

- Do not cram all of the leetcode questions. That's insane. Remember the quote from Invincibles: "when everyone is a superhero, nobody will be"? It applies to cramming too. Instead, use the time to study fundamentals. Pick up Kleinberg's Algorithm Design, Levitin's Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms, or Skiena's The Algorithm Design Manual. Note these books are not that academic. They all focus on the process of designing an algorithm from constraints and basic principles.

- Do not worry about Leetcode Hard. Yes they will be asked from time to time by an interviewer, but see my suggestion #1. If you really want to try Leetcode Hard, at least ignore the ones that require deep ad-hoc analysis or the ones that require an aha-moment. They are talent filters or memory filters or obedience filters, but they won't improve your engineering expertise. Then, why bother? And trust me, it is actually rare for you to get a Leetcode Hard question.
I don't doubt that there are methodological and empirical problems all around. The scientific literature on these points is a mess.

We might want to look at the fundamentals: How is IQ qualitatively different from height, eye color, schizophrenia -- or any other highly complex, heritable polygenic trait? (One could also extend this to the many traits that animal breeders keep an eye on.) None of them have been fully pinned-down yet, but I don't believe that they can't be fully described in principle.

It's true that GWAS for intelligence explains <5% of variance today, but GWAS for height was in the same position a decade ago. Today polygenic scores for height predict over 40% of variance.
A lot of serious software offerings are only concerned with the server use case, modern servers run Linux unless there's a good reason not to, and modern windows has more than one acceptable way to run Linux binaries if you absolutely have to.
There's no details just a few seconds of a basic Christmas cola drink commercial. Might be true, but it's so default it might as well be a reuse of an old commercial.

There's a UK store commercial that looks to me to use ML based generation of gingerbread houses. But I haven't inspected it - if businesses are adopting it I wonder at what level?

Do the buyers know it's "AI" do they care? Is it a selling point? Do the public have more or less positive sentiment towards businesses using machine-generation for their brainwashing content?
Massively agree with this. It can be difficult to create a culture where everyone talks in the open but it can save so many little and big mistakes!
I was thinking that same thing recently with the embedded code I work on. I was thinking if BASIC could handle strings on Z80 with 4k of ROM and 16K (woo hoo!) of static RAM why do I have to put up with C strings on an ARM running at 48MHz?

I wonder how much of this is because (IME anyway) Tesla drivers are not very good. With all that tech it's easy to get distracted (there's literally a giant tablet looking thing for a console). It's also easy to think all the bells and whistles will do things for you so drivers are paying less attention because the car will beep and holler at them if things are going awry (except by that point it's too late).
> Since when is studying, practicing and preparing, gaming the system?

Fair question.. the problem today is the emphasis on studying and practicing irrelevant things like memorizing algorithms. That's become the paved short-cut to well paying jobs so naturally people do it. To the point that even the people doing the hiring have forgotten what it meant to be actually qualified, not just a leetcode memorizer.

If you need to hire a musician for your band, do you pick the person who has spent six months practicing a handful of chords to perfection, but possibly doesn't know anything about composing songs or jamming with the band? Or do you pick someone who has been composing and playing live shows for 10+ years?

The first one is just academic memorization that has some value, but very little. The second one is real-life experience that's worth a lot.

I have zero musical skills but even I have managed to learn to play a couple songs on the piano by sheer memorization of which buttons to press in what sequence. If you ask me to play one of those songs it might seem like I know what I'm doing even though I'm completely incompetent in music. That's the equivalent of hiring for software roles based on leetcode memorization.
I thoroughyl expect the Deparment of Government Efficiency to recommend U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) be shut down to save previous taxpayer dollars.
It's very hard to moderate an online forum that allows political content without succumbing to your own political bias.
I don't like the trolls on X, but if X started moderating against hateful content, it would just end up censoring news and opinions like they used to do beforehand. There is just no way around that.
I am not going to name examples because it would start a flame war, but there are enough recent examples.

Also, maybe I'm from a different generation, but the trolls can be very easily ignored. What do I care is some no name account is posting some stupid content somewhere on X? I already know which people I want to follow. The rest I don't care about.
That's a very dangerous idea that has been tried in communistic countries many times. It always leads to horrendous outcomes and the authoritarian control of the public.

We should each follow our own moral compass, and oppose viewpoints that we find horrific. But trying to systematically stamp out disagreeable ideas, rather than to influence people with better ideas, is a road to hell.
I'm not sure how many children you have. While certainly true that having healthcare is life-saving, it's not a requirement to have children. Pregnancy is not a disease, and results in a natural birth the vast majority of the time. Left on its own, this will naturally happen enough to replace the population.

By all means, I am absolutely pro-hospitals and healthcare funding, but it's not an important consideration when considering the overall birthrate.

Childcare is similarly not an issue. The sorts of people having a lot of kids are just not going to be using childcare a whole lot. One spouse will stay home.

As for the wealthy comments. I go to a fairly traditional parish in a HCOL West Coast city, and I don't think family income has a very large impact on # of children. We have families making anywhere from $60k to $200k+ and if anything, more money results in less children. At the end of the day America is very rich and well-off. You don't actually need a whole lot of money to raise a child as long as you can resist the memetic pressure to be like everyone else.

I mean, from what I've seen, income dictates whether or not a family decides to have seven kids versus six kids, but not 2-3. That's just a given.

We do three things:

First, we use Missive to integrate email and chat. This way everything's in one place, properly threaded, and we can easily discuss emails internally in context. Much much better than GMail + Slack.

Second, I run video chat office hours twice a week (Tuesday/Thursday). Anybody can drop in to discuss anything — or not, if there's no need. This lowers the activation energy for "in person" discussions that otherwise might not get scheduled and promotes async work the rest of the time.

Third, regular company offsites! Even a few days a year is good.
> For example, if you don't normally work out but decide to start, you're probably going to gain weight first - adding muscle faster than you lose fat.

It takes at least a month to get your CNS firing correctly before your body can possibly build muscle in any significant way.

If you don’t work out and then you start, and you gain weight, you’re eating poorly, not gaining muscle.
The US hit peak school age children a few years ago. Projections have it on a decline. While painted as midwest, I imagine these may be hyper-local issues. If you look at recent historical changes, there has not been some magic growth spurt and most states have been in a peak decline.

Since the statistic applies to the whole US, it's biased towards urban population centers.

E.g. the lack of K-12 kids in SF almost caused the shutdown of 11 schools due to the lack of funding that comes primarily from the number of enrolled students, they halted the closures in lieu of other cost saving approaches due to the political pressures of shutting down schools, but the truth remains that there are fewer kids in population centers.
I suspect the biggest factor is speed. After getting used to EV for over a year, every ICE vehicle feels painfully sluggish and slow. If that's the case I'm curious to see how the numbers compare to other EVs.
If that’s the case - sure. But that’s not inherent to code challenges. I evaluate results of challenges at work, they require 2-3 hours of candidate time and it rarely takes less than half of that time to fully evaluate and form a recommendation.

I find that take-home assignments are very one-sided form of an interview:

- The candidate needs to do lots of work while the company gets away with little to none.
- The candidate never knows what exactly the other side will be looking for, so the only way is to put in more work. Like when the assignment didn't ask for tests, they might still be expecting them.
- The candidate usually gets no feedback about the work he did. More importantly he usually doesn't get a chance to defend his solution. It's either great or garbage.
- While the company can learn something about the candidate, the candidate will learn nothing about the company by doing the assignment.
His actual words show that your interpretation is wrong. Why do you still believe it? The extra information you added doesn't add any support your claim at all. Using the military to protect the border in no way means "use the military domestically to retain power and clean out the US".

Could you identify one of these too-objectionable-to-say policies of his, including the source of that information? History tells me that it will be your misunderstanding that's made it seem objectionable.

> hope their policies fall through or are blocked? That makes zero sense.

It makes sense if you're voting for practical outcomes instead of ideologically. For example, if they promise one thing you want and is achievable, plus one thing you don't want but is impossible anyway, then it can be rational to vote for them to get the thing you want and also not get the thing you don't want.
