I can give you some advice. Imagine your favorite activity that you can do for free even on weekends. Look for such a job.

I am a programmer from Russia. I live in Siberia. I have not been able to find a job for a year. I continue to look, but I have already started to do some part-time work.

I participate in low-paid projects on image marking for training neural networks, checking the quality of their work.

I wanted to get a job in delivery, but our city is too small, and there is not even a delivery service. The only work in our city is drivers and store clerks, but also very low-paid (USD 300 per month).

I am doing a project to create a new programming language based on the C language, to unload the human brain from programming and give the opportunity to write programs in a human language. If you are interested, there is the first link to the article on my site azhibaev.com
No, they already do. None of the fabs (intel, tsmc, Samsung, etc.) build their own equipment. The secret sauce comes in designing the processes to integrate these machines into a cohesive months-long manufacturing process, building out the IP (aka what types of transistors and low-level features they can build) and so on. Companies like ASML and AMAT make machines with guarantees like “we can draw lines this small and deposit layers this thin” and it is up to intel or any other fab to figure out the rest.
> most engineers don't consider ML syntax to be the cleanest, since most don't know any ML language.

This is like saying "most uncontacted Amazonian tribes don't like Shakespeare, because they've never read it". Sure, but why would we care about their opinion on this topic?
Providing the specific Market Price when already there to inform diners of something like specials is a good idea, especially in higher-end places. Their service goals are typically focused on making guests comfortable and accommodating the obvious and less-obvious needs/wants. This seems like a complementary addition to those service ideas.

Hello, I’m Dannique, a front-end web developer with 4 years of experience working for example with JavaScript, ReactJS, and Figma. I’m seeking a remote front-end or web design role where I can apply my skills while growing and improving as a developer.
Contact me when you have questions, want to talk, and if there's a role I might fit in.
What exactly is a "trip" I think comparing per mile is much better than per trip. I take make two dozen airline trips a year but I can do that many car trips in a week. On the other hand most of my car trips are on the order of a mile or two as compared to several thousand in a plane.
F# is good because MSR used to hire a bunch of the top GHC devs and pay them to work on F# part-time. They put all their actual passion into Haskell.
I laughed at the last paragraph.

I nearly eat daily at my Thai restaurant near work and it’s delicious and I joke with the cook, that what I would call spicy he would not even notice.

Such lovely people, so grateful and caring. I always tip, which is not common in most my country for a meal at a fast food place.

Incorrect. Visa charges 2.5-3%. It's not part of the burrito like the electricity.
OCaml's type system is quite janky and simplistic compared to Haskell's. The first class module system is fairly nice, although it leads to an annoying problem where now you kind of have two "levels" to the language (module level and normal level). This is arguably analogous to Haskell having a "term level language" and a "type level language", where the type system is more prolog-y than the term language. Also, Haskell's type system is powerful enough to do most of the things you'd want the OCaml module system for, and more. I do occasionally miss the OCaml module system, but not most of the time.
I wrote this like ~10 years ago as a "Hello World++" type demo (basic key/value server) in Haskell. It's about 200 LoC, with a Haskell and Python client. http://github.com/wyager/neks

You can't just buy an ARM or POWER motherboard from one place, a CPU from another place, some RAM sticks from another place, a power supply, a heatsink/fan, some kind of hard drive (probably NVMe these days), a bunch of cables, and put them all together in your basement/living room and have a working system. With x86, this is pretty normal still. With other architectures, you're going to get a complete, all-in-one system that either 1) has no expandability whatsoever, at least by normal users, or 2) costs more than a house in NYC and requires having technicians from the vendor to fly to your location and stay in a hotel for a day or two to do service work on your system for you because you're not allowed to touch it.
Logistic Internship
Interesting but prior studies in a more controlled environment show that the ability to recall a song in the correct key is only about 15%.

From the article: "Psychologists wanted to study “earworms,” the types of songs that get stuck in your head and play automatically on a loop. So they asked people to sing out any earworms they were experiencing and record them on their phones when prompted at random times throughout the day. When researchers analyzed the recordings, they found that a remarkable proportion of them perfectly matched the pitch of the original songs they were based upon.

More specifically, 44.7 percent of recordings had a pitch error of 0 semitones, and 68.9 percent were accurate within 1 semitone of the original song. These findings were recently published in the journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics."

This study seems extraordinarily suspect because it's essentially relying on good faith that the person recalling this song hasn't just literally heard this song on the radio a few hours before that or in the morning, and now it's an "earworm."

EDIT: The actual published paper makes it more clear how this study was done. Participants (N = 30, convenience sample) were surveyed at random times over a week and asked to produce a sung recording of any music they were experiencing in their heads. This is a little bit more reliable, but still hard to say how long this pitch perfect recall lasted from the last time that they actually heard the song.
Artists tend to be in art production mode or sales mode. When in sales mode and doing exhibitions, etc., good ones are very responsive.

They work for a a year, or maybe several, then there are sales to be had over the corse of a month or so. The work they are selling is finished.

Would you work on something for years, and then when the time comes to maybe sell it — not answer the phone?
Which is why Russia's economy is collapsing with devalued rubles, high inflation, high interest rates, closed banks, they are calling up NK soldiers, lost territory in Russia, are losing 1500-2000 soldiers a day?

They are losing like 100,000 soldier per 10 miles of ground they gain. Talk about unsustainable.

And now Russian staging, logistics, weapons depots, artillery, airfields can be targeted with ATACMS.

Absolutely nobody has any momentum in this. If anything, Russian meat wave tactics lend themselves to spectacular collapse if morale and logistics break. So they grind soldiers for months to gain 30 kilometers, and suddenly get overrun by a swift counterattack if the line falters.

It's hard to get info on the actual kill ratios, but I would guess meat wave tactics are resulting in 5:1 kill ratios by Ukraine, if not better. We'll see what winter does to Russian troops, they aren't typically well supported or supplied even in summer.
Ask HN: What is the right way to fuse my enterprise data with an LLM?
Some stuff it into the prompt

Some fine tune llama

Some rag and then ask LLM to answer questions

What are the others?

What is the best?
The difference between AGI and LLMs mainly is in the architecture, specifically that LLMs freeze the entire network, whereas AGI would leave some of it perpetually unfrozen so it can update as it goes.

> I wish the author had some info on how to operate on the file format too.

There's some documentation in some of the archives linked from [1]. You'll need to be familiar with classic MacOS file formats to make much sense of it, though; it relies heavily on technologies which died with that platform.

That being said:

> I could see myself using this for a retro looking game or something like that.

You'd probably be better off using the previews as inspiration and designing your own graphics. The themes are all built out of bitmap graphics, and are designed at a scale appropriate for a 640x480 display. The preview images aren't scaled down; that's how big the widgets really were.

Yeah.

Also, the fact that murderbot is genderless is so ambiguous that if you want to you can read the books as if he was male or she was female, or as if they were genderless, or really anything that floats your boat. Murderbot is a perfect blank slate. I think that’s really innovative; I can’t think of another book I have read that achieves that to the point that the gender is just fill-in-the-blank (pls give me examples if you know). It’s quite cool and didn’t feel like woke overload to me.

Another thing: there is a huge amount of exploration of what makes us human in how Murderbot is portrayed. I found some of it to be quite deep. The fact that it’s combined with super fun action strengthens the depth, I think.

Super cool series, glad Wells is seeing a lot of success from this. I’ll definitely watch the TV show and can’t wait for the next book in the series.
didn’t realize I had to spell it out like this - yes, exactly. thanks
I'm not sure it's trending so much as one the most prized ingredients in fine dining; a cliche, like a perigord truffle. The ducks and geese harvested for foie are better treated than any chicken you are going to buy at Whole Foods.

MLs aren't really academic languages aside from Standard ML. F# and OCaml are very pragmatic languages. The cleaner parts of Rust came from ML.

What syntaxes do engineers find clean? I don't understand the distinction you're making.
PaaS is just a middleman service providing convenience over more bare bones infrastructure. Look at the entire world of profitable middleman companies and you’ll see there’s plenty of viability in the business model, but it’s not as easy as a golden goose.
In a world of Google Cloud Run, which builds your app from a code base via build packs, streams logs, scales to zero and autoscales (regardless of container size/price), provides SLI/SLO monitoring and definition via point and click, integrates to pull requests on GitHub, directly connects to databases on GCP… the list goes on.

Why would you bother with Heroku?
This seems more on the trivial side to me.
Just curious - what is the niche for this languages and what's the motivation to choose one?
1. yes

2. never said that. usage of credit cards should 100% NOT be free. the businesses should however offer it and pay whatever that costs
GrapheneOS, LineageOS, /e/OS, CalyxOS. So many options in today's market, all can be run without GAPPs or using microG.
> If your argument wasn’t that a no-tip restaurant would seem higher priced

Of course it seems higher priced. That's the point. Perception. Seeming higher priced != higher priced if there's the expectation of tipping and you follow it, but the average consumer isn't very savvy so it ends up scaring them away. Which is why restaurants that try to include service in their pricing end up reverting or failing.

Also the only opposition is really from consumers (which then spills over to owners who get to hear all the complaints). Europeans get along fine with not tipping.
My experience is that there's a major difference between "R&D project" mentality to mass production and big install bases. The embedded stuff really starts to leaking into everything during the latter once you start evaluating how much it'd cost to rewrite the high level stuff to fit cheaper hardware, or resolve the intermittent issues that big customer is complaining about.
So why tip at all? Seems extremely arcane to me
> Most abandoned coffee farming and converted their farms into prime real estate.

So they made more money by selling their farm land, instead of being a farmer? That sounds like a good trade to me. This is pretty normal process in all highly developed countries.

Related: What do you think Silicon Valley and Los Angeles Valley looked like 100 years ago? Lots of fruit farms. Today? Housing and office buildings -- all considered prime real estate. Once farming became less valuable than the land, most farmers sold.

> Nairobi’s “heat.”

Can you explain why you put "heat" in quotes? Is this intended to be sarcastic?
Many News: Autonomous AI-Animated Daily News Show
We've built Many News, a daily animated news show generated and animated entirely by AI. Every day at midnight, our system scrapes the latest news, writes the script, animates the characters, synthesizes their voices, and publishes the video to social media.
Many News is the first experimental product of Geppetto, our in-house LLM-driven animation framework. Geppetto leverages the power of LLMs to make creative decisions at every step, including:
* Character Animation: LLMs determine the precise pose and expression of each character at every point in time, bringing them to life with nuanced movements and emotions.
* Camera Work: LLMs decide the camera angles, movements, and cuts, just like a human director would.
* Scene Composition: LLMs procedurally generate entire scenes, ensuring visual coherence and storytelling impact.
Geppetto then exports the scene data to industry-standard 2D and 3D software for final rendering and polishing.
This is just a first taste of what's possible with LLM-driven animation pipelines. We believe Geppetto has the potential to significantly expand the storytelling formats at our disposal.
In the right dynamical framework, I bet I'm a strange autoregressor.

How to Find Niche
Hi Everyone,

I'm Prashant. I built Secure Share, a tool that is capable of connecting to your existing cloud storage like AWS S3 or Azure Blob, managing files and folders there, and securely sharing it with other users.

This might sound odd because most of the founders do market research and then come up with a release. But in my case, it's differ. I have a tool, and I don't know how to sell it!

I built this tool with the assumption that it can be a useful tool for businesses with 50+ sizes who have a frequent need to exchange files.

I'm not able to figure out my niche so that I can improve upon my marketing message and target a specific group of users.

I wanted to ask the community for help on this to see if anyone can guide me to the right direction in terms of finding the niche.

I'm a software engineer who has experience building low-latency networking and messaging technologies and backend platforms that integrate Web, Desktop, Mobile, Server and IoT components. If you're looking for someone who can help engineer, scale and ship fully featured backend solutions while elevating your team, I'd love to hear from you!
I think there's an understated component here that many games are built off of your knowledge of other games, so at one point the rulebook is there explaining stuff but omits a lot.

But then you play the game and there's the right kind of symbology explaining the rules anyways! There are so many little details on boards of modern games that guide the rules. Doesn't solve tiny parts, but really you gotta figure it out.

I think rulebooks can be way better, but at the same time I think rulebooks are not meant for players, but for whoever is going to teach the game. And that person should sit there and figure it out way before the game starts.
Do I understand that at each tick, every task outputs a single message, and can depend on the outputs of other tasks? I.e., nodes and topics are merged into tasks, executed in topological order?
A large number of players are only interested in those "overly complicated and fiddly" boardgames (commonly known as "heavy"). The BGG ranking is massively dominated by those games [1]. There are also Youtube channels dedicated only to those heavy boardgames [2].

Fourth Power Law
I've never seen anyone use Barnes-Hut for an earth gravity model. I'd be curious to see how an implementation like that would work. I think Barnes-Hut is typically used for large N-body simulations where each particle moves independently, like for galactic simulations.

One of the biggest barriers to alternate geopotential models is the availability of trusted data-sets. In another comment someone linked to a PINN based method that looks super promising
my thought was that image-as-input is maybe overkill.

I am one of the early customers and this works like a charm.

Was on a flight last week that was on the tarmac for two hours due to weather one evening last week; the pilot finally got on the PA system and announced we were headed back to the terminal. I booked myself a new flight for the next morning within 90 seconds. Pure magic.
It depends on your use case.
That's a good point, sometimes this is what you want.
A pixel is defined as 1/96th of an inch in the web world so it is dependent on your dpi/scaling. There is a window.devicePixelRatio that JavaScript can use to get actual pixels.
Coal contaminates lots more land in the usual course of operation. No worst case scenario required, even though they ain't pretty.

(Even if you just look at radioactive contamination only. Coal ash is so high volume that even just the radioactive traces in it add up. But honestly, radioactivity is probably the least of your worries with coal.)
