Have you heard of the anthropic principle?

The only thing I find truly special about our place is the moon.

The moon is really weird. Same geological material as earth, huge size for a natural satellite, appears the same size as the sun.

It's an unusual set of coincidences that (as far as I know) our solar system formation models, so far, can only explain using an extraordinary event (Theia collision, etc).

Since the tech can't compete with EUV in volume, their market is probably niche/lower production runs at a significantly lower install price.
Read voraciously. A membership in IEEE and ACM journals will keep your stack full although it can be a pain sorting through all of the wheat. Keep track of books that interest you in subject areas that seem challenging and interesting: if you're interested in data that will definitely be in the realm of statistics, combinatorics, linear algebra.

Do exercises. Take 30-40 mins a day to do practice problems. Use a site like codewars, leetcode, even past advent of code challenges. Do the exercises in the text books you read.

Write. Write about what you learn. Use your writing to explain it to someone who is encountering the subject area for the first time. Doesn't matter what you write it on: a paper notebook is just as serviceable as a blog. The act of reinforcing what you discover by writing it down helps to reinforce it and challenges your knowledge by explaining it to someone else. Whatever you do make sure that the act of writing works for you: it must be seamless and flow easily.

Don't over-engineer the perfect writing system that use a ton of frameworks and require maintaining deployment scripts. You will avoid writing if it is hard to do. Writing itself is hard enough and that's what you need to focus on. If you want to go the blog route make sure it's no harder than opening up a text file and running a simple script when you're done.

Lastly, find a mentor. It can be someone outside of work -- and in your case sounds like it will have to be. Contribute to an open source project you use regularly. Go to meetups in your local area or online. Find someone you can talk shop with. And when the opportunity arises ask if they'd be interested in meeting up once in a while to review your work or talk about what you've discovered.
> For that to work, they need a software stack to compete with CUDA.

Doesn't Intel have pretty decent support in PyTorch? It's not like most people working on/with AI use CUDA directly.

And especially for stuff like LLMs software is hardly the main or even a significant barrier.
I am not a PyTorch user, but there is already Intel-supplied ARC acceleration for PyTorch: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...

Having half the number of GPUs in a workstation/local server setup to have same amount of VRAM might make up for whatever slowdown there would be if you had to use less-optimized code. For instance running or training a model that required 192GB of VRAM would take 4x48GB VRAM but 8x24GB VRAM GPUs.
Could it be because red hair people require additional anesthesia for equivalent effect, which perhaps they don't get at their dentist, resulting in more pain: Ergo, they're scared of visiting their dentist.
Oh it probably is prod ready, I just wouldn't use it unless I had to (ie I had the staff to look after it and no money to buy something better)

whether is a good fit for general purpose storage of stuff at a small scale is harder question. Its not easy to get good performance at small scale, and to get good performance requires a larger than you'd like number of storage nodes.

Yes it has inline FEC, (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-ceph/7?topic=components-...) but its lots of layers to get to a file system.

Personally I'd have a redundant array of storage nodes and be done with it. Its easier to debug a single server than 3 layers of ceph weirdness.
I'd say less than 5 years.

I'm not sure its even the relevant question.

What length of time does a film studio, or book publisher look at for payback?

If everyones calculating their return on the first 12 months, setting copyright to 12 months obviously isn't going to impact any industry investment decisions.
The price/MB of mechanical hard drives is incredible these days, and is why I am staying on them. For my purposes, that benefit outweighs the benefits of SSDs.
Felt | Elixir Contractor | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is building a cloud-based geographic information systems (GIS) solution and have hundreds of customers already using it to run their operations, processing terabyte. Our team hails from Uber, Google, Meta, CARTO, Mapbox, The New York Times and a few others. If you have used online maps in the past few years like hundreds of millions of people do every day, you have used their work. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC 2014 founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for an exceptional Elixir engineer on a contract basis for our Applications team. This team builds what our end-users experience; a lightning fast and easy-to-use mapping tool that works in the browser. We are primarily using Elixir / Phoenix on the server side and have a spatially focused React on the frontend side. As an Elixir engineer, you'll be working with folks who are experts in their field [2], release more than 15+ a day [3], and aren't afraid to break new ground when necessary [4]. Our larger team builds a data ingestion and processing pipeline that churns through terabytes of data and make it accessible.

We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [5], and our announcement here [6].

Once again, this is a contract role; we pay competitively for the right talent.

If you are interested, please reach out via hello@felt.com and mention HN. We can't wait to hear from you!

Oh sure! C/C++ are the only current major languages that spring to mind that make it so easy to shoot your foot clean off. Assembler, I guess, except it’s not nearly so widely used and everyone knows what they’re getting into with it.
Here's more info on Pat. He is not your average CEO. He wrote this book almost 20 years ago. Why do you resort to conversation about assumptions?

The Juggling Act: Bringing Balance to Your Faith, Family, and Work

> That waters down the felony convictions and what they were related to.

I don't think that's how it works. He wasn't charged with election interference or for violating campaign laws.

But, given your take here, I assume you must feel that Hilary Clinton should have faced potential jail time when she failed to fill out a form and interfered with her opposition's presidential campaign:

https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/30/politics/clinton-dnc-steele-d...

And you must also feel that she and Biden should have both faced charges and potential jail time for their mishandling of classified data.

But, no charges for them, and 40 felony charges for Trump for mishandling classified documents.
The advantage of your position is that being a tech lead gives you a lot of ownership and responsibility, and that is one of the best ways to learn a lot in a short time.

The disadvantage is that it’s hard to grow beyond what you can visualize, so past a certain point you’ll likely be growing slower than you would working under someone with 10-20 more years of experience.

I would advise one of two paths: either stick around a year or two u til you can confidently own “tech lead” on your resume and move on, or commit to a longer stint and really reap the learning benefits of the technical leadership position.

So much for the unsolicited career advice :). To answer the direct question, a few things I found useful as a startup CTO:

- Follow the news for your tech stack. Stay up to date with the various technologies. Go to meetups.
- Think about the long-term development of your system. Spend 1% of your time thinking about where you might be in a year or two, and do some experiments to explore those paths. Your codebase is the best place for you to experiment with new tools as it’s a real-world system with the warts that reality brings. You don’t have to merge these experiments! As CTO I had probably 20% of my PRs as RFC / experimental work. (I do not advise contributing to FOSS for learning in your scenario. Feel free to do so if you enjoy it though.)
- keep an Architecture Decision Log. Review the big decisions you made in hindsight, and learn the lessons that you can only learn if you own a system for multiple years. Eg this DB choice seemed good and bought us a year of scale reprieve, but then required a 2 man-year rewrite down the road. Knowing the true value of “I” will make you much better at judging tradeoffs in ROI.
- Beware burnout. If you are studying and leisure coding in your spare time you will eventually run the tank dry. It might take 5 years or it might take less. Just be mindful.
- Don’t be terrified of burnout. The tech lead position is a unique opportunity to feel ownership of a system and have the autonomy to try things out. It’s a role where pushing harder can yield more leverage than a normal position. So putting in some extra hours can pay off in the long run for your career.

There is not nearly enough available space on the surface of Earth to make any dent into the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration over any relevant time frame. We burnt through millions of years of sequestrated carbon in a century and some, but we do not have millions of years to do the sequestration again.
You are absolutely right, naive array programming might be much faster than raw python but it will never be high performance because you can't use caches and memory bandwidth effectively.
The optics can still be terrible. Qualcomm (or more accurately, Nuvia, the company they acquired) produced some stunning chips with almost unheard of battery life for a laptop, and Arm are suing them to use their own inferior designs. They even tried to have end user laptops recalled and destroyed! There's no world where this looks good for Arm.

I dont think plants are a good example. We don't even have weak evidence that they might be sentient.

We know that many aninals are sentient and we should grant them protections.
Disclaimer: I work on this stuff for Intel

At least for Intel, that is just not true. Intel's DPC++ is as open as it gets. It implements a Khronos standard (SYCL), most of the development is happening in public on GitHub, it's permissively licensed, it has a viable backend infrastructure (with implementations for both CUDA and HIP). There's also now a UXL foundation with the goal of creating an "open standard accelerator software ecosystem".

Developers were more in tune with the entire tech stack down to silicone. Today you’d be “unreasonable” for asking such a thing.
I seem to recall that there a recent theory paper that got a best paper award, but can't find it.

If I remember correctly, their counter-intuitive result was that big overparameterized models could learn more efficiently, and were less likely to get trapped in poor regions of the optimization space.

[This is also similar to how introducing multimodal training gives an escape hatch to get out of tricky regions.]

So with this hand-wavey argument, it might be the case that two-phase training is needed: A large overcomplete pretraining focused on assimilating all the knowledge, and a second that makes it compact. Other, that there is a hyperparameter that controls overcompleteness vs compactness and you adjust it over training.

Aiide: Pragmatic framework to build LLM Copilots
Location: Los Angeles
Remote: Yes

Relocation: Case-by-case

I'm a tech leader, expert engineer, and data professional interested in team-building, consulting and architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark, Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.

At ATTN:, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily. I created SOPs for managing data interoperability with Facebook Marketing, Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc.

More recently, I was a co-founder in a gaming startup. We raised over $6M and I was in charge of building out a team of over a dozen remote engineers and designers, with a breadth of experience ranging from Citibank, to Goldman Sachs, to Microsoft. I moved on, but retain significant equity and a board seat. I am also a minority owner of a coffee shop in northern Spain.

That I'm a top-tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.

Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

It's not a docker replacement. Use podman to replace docker. Use system to start stuff (in a namespace or otherwise).
> Either copyrights exist, and people can't copy creative works "owned" by somebody else, or copyrights don't exist and people can copy those at will.

that's not how copyright works, it's not a binary thing. Also, it's similar but not the same in every legislation. You can make partial copies, you can make full copies as personal backup, you can make copies to transform copyrighted material (like create art and parodies.)

These cases are going to decide whether Google Books was a fluke or indeed, there is a limit to the power of the big copyright holders (not the artists/creators: those keep on starving, except few lucky ones.)
XWayland Lands Support For xdg-system-bell
Your first paragraph is obviously wrong, so maybe dial back the pronouncements.

What you are advocating for was a disaster for Windows, btw.
> corporate purchased laptops and AWS instances, which are quite different.

They are similar. Particularly because developing on a corporate hardware with an ARM processor is a surefire way to figure out if the software you write will have issues with ARM in AWS.

That's pretty much the entire reason x86 took off in the server market in the first place.

> About corporate laptops, do you have evidence to show that companies are switching to Macbooks from HP/Dell/ThinkPads?

Nope. Mostly just anecdotal. My company offers devs the option of either an x86 machine or a mac.

I'd love to see how we can adopt this in our current economic system. Would we classify factory farming as necessary even though it causes extreme harm to sentient beings? We'd have to make a huge shift in food production and eating habits.
I believe the confusion here comes from the ambiguity of the "It's a shame" comment, as it could be "It's a shame [that the gem cannot be safely stored in its home country due to the political situation]" or "It's a shame [that the gem is not stored in its home country despite the political situation]".

The "despite all evidence to the contrary" remark was in response to interpretation B when it seems interpretation A was the intended meaning.
I think it is in the same vein of their extra terrestrial cataloguing system as “Alien XX121”
Good point! The space is so early, and it's 100% on us to help people get started building web agents. We're actually re-working this repo (+ a tutorial with it): https://github.com/steel-dev/claude-browser - which implements a web agent by reworking the claude computer use repo + page screenshots for vision.

We also have more AI-specific examples, tutorials, and an MCP server coming out really soon (like really soon).

You can keep an eye out on our releases on discord/twitter where we'll be posting a bunch of these example repos.
I never said that all or even most of the change in price is simply a function of changes in housing stock. I simply stated that changes in housing stock is something you must account for.

Also, your example of your grandparent's home is long tail. Some places have seen skyrocketing prices that have everything to do with the location (and zoning restrictions limiting stock of housing in area). Example would be Santa Monica. Lots of coastal towns in California. But median, not mean. Think about all the one-room shacks that used to exist. You don't see them anymore because ... why would someone keep them around now? The homes that survive are the ones that retained enough value to make it worthwhile to keep up/restore.

Here in southwest Virginia, an empty lot near town might be about $40k. A house built on that will have multiples of that value.

Massively lower power consumption and way less waste heat to dispose of.

Literally the two biggest concerns of every data centre on earth.

SEEKING WORK | United States / Michigan | Remote | Full Stack Software Engineer and Designer

I'm a software engineer and designer with 2 decades of experience across a wide range of industries, from B2B factory-floor logistics to language design to cute consumer web apps. I specialize in helping small teams solve tricky technical and process problems, quickly. Is your team not delivering as fast as you expect? Are you dealing with more bugs or more setbacks than you think you should? Is there some tricky architectural or design problem you can't crack on your own? I can help push your codebase and your team to improve, so that you'll be running on greased rails even after our contract is done.

For people using text search, here are some of the technologies I'm comfortable using:

AngularJS, Angular, AWS (S3, Lambda, RDS, &c.), C, CSS, Creative Cloud, Flask, git, mercurial, svn, darcs, Glamor, GCS, HTML, Javascript/ECMAscript, Lisps of many varieties, Next.js, Photoshop, Python, Ruby on Rails, React, Ruby, SASS, SCSS, Svelte, Swift, Typescript, Vue

I have found myself in a similar position between independence and isolation in my role, though it's not as high-profile.

I am interested in the other answers here and will add my two cents.

Recent hiring: KEEP IT STUPID-SIMPLE. Being new at the company, less experienced, and empowered, you will probably be tempted by lots of "solutions," whether they're products, frameworks, management buzzwords, etc. Most of them are not designed for a one-man-team. Make sure your solutions actually help YOU.

Non-technical boss: AGREE ON METRICS. Your boss/es will measure you eventually, whether either of you are aware of it or not. It may be better to discuss some metrics while you have a chance to do something about it. At the end of the day, it's almost always about money (and sometimes ego), especially with cantankerous O&G types. Just figure out how you can show you enable, save, or make money within the system.

Feedback and standards: YOUR BEST FEEDBACK AND STANDARDS WILL COME FROM YOU. You are in a position to act on your best judgement, and then own your mistakes. Yes, you can feel like a fish-out-of-water a lot of the time. I have tried to find a balance between pushing myself to learn personal skills on projects, innovating for the company, just getting things "done," and keeping myself sane. Your peers, "clients", and supervisors are probably not used to (or aware of) "best practices", which is a double-edged sword. They might expect you to deliver things you know could be better, but you also have a ton of power to build a solid environment for yourself. Think of progress like driving a big boat, not a racecar.
Yeah, my company is gearing up to do the same. We primarily use the JVM so doing the arm switcharoo only makes sense.

All the vietnamese coffee that I tried in europe (even in hype shops) tasted like american “french” roast aka burnt bad coffee. Could you recommend ways to try nice coffees from vietnam?
a few years back i had one side project that i did in elixir/phoenix felt like a good fit specifically because it had a lot of state that needed to live outside of the request/resp cycle but also didn't live in a db

Specifically the project was an app that ran terraform commands inside an actor and streamed the logs to the browser

each actor had a terraform config and each message was a command to run on that config

so in that case the actor model felt like it aligned really well with how the program needed to work
Individual Russian software developers might be reliable but that's hardly the point. They should've just moved them to US or even Germany or something like that if they were serious about entering the GPU market, though...

e.g. There are plenty of talented engineers in China as well but it would be severely idiotic for any western company to move their core R&D there. Same applied to Russia.
