This is great thank you!

Does any one know of something similar in python? I want to share with my team something similar to this that goes into (almost) everything (at least conceptually) needed to efficiently serve an LLM.

It doesn’t actually need to be performant mind you (it’s in python) I just need something “conceptually complete” while being more “tutorial style” and concise than vLLM codebase

Can we generalize this point to the idea that the user might want to manage the complexity level of products?

It's great to have the fully-integrated television that can be controlled by a phone app. This may seem great, until the spyware implications come to mind.

In a similar vein, I like all of the gadgetry on the recent car purchase. The sensors are nice; we can all back in an "park tactically" like a pro with these rear cameras.

But part of me longs for a purely analog chariot with 1960s-level tech that, sure, requires more skill on my part to operate, but I'm OK with that.

This invites the question: if there were a market for a brand new, but de-gunked car, could it even be legally built? Would there be a market? Why not?
He must be delighted to hear that.
Tons of cars do this much worse
Surprised at how small Rustland is. Barely a province in Clouderra.

Also, interesting how both Bevy and Veloren are in Rustland. Probably, the stars come more from the Rust community than the game dev community. Which I guess makes sense: the Rust ecosystem is still relatively small and feels like a lot of people doing X but in Rust.
Yeah, they just cost a ten times more

It’s funny to see people talking about DOGE as if it was actually a thing. Right now it’s just a collective term for Vivek and Elon saying stuff. It’s not actually a department and there’s no indication that will ever change. These two guys are going to say a bunch of stuff, they’ll be totally ignored by the politicians and bureaucrats alike, and that’s all that’s going to happen with DOGE.

Maybe if by "brave choices" you mean "finding creative new reasons to remove things", e.g. (in no particular order):

- https://www.hyperbola.info/news/end-of-java-openjdk-support/ (no Java)

- https://www.hyperbola.info/news/no-support-for-projects-with... (no rust, no Chromium)

Perhaps in a few years Hyperbola will reach its final, perfect state: a distribution which contains no packages at all, thereby providing users with a perfectly Free and perfectly secure system.
Not sure if SJ was to blame, but your sentiment about the commoditization of software engineering is right on target. It was industry-wide.

It's true that teams had to grow in size as software got more complex. Was commoditization the best way to do it? It certainly aggregated power in the hands of management. That was probably an intended consequence.

One unintended consequence is that tech leads and staff engineers became increasingly selected more for political than technical merit. That in turn decreased the per-capita merit of the workforce as a whole.

Post-ZIRP and post-AI, a lot of layoffs are still ahead IMO.
Sorry I hope it came across in my message but I totally agree with you.

How Teachers Should "Delve" into AI in the Classroom
How dishonest!
My geometry teacher in 9th grade was adamant that we couldn't assume lengths and angles in diagrams except where explicitly labeled. In particular, he said that we should never assume that a diagram is drawn to scale; if the diagram happened to depict a quadrilateral as a square, unless something stated that it was a square (or we had sufficient information to determine that it was), we should treat it as an unidentified quadrilateral and proceed only with the actual information provided or else he would "take more points off than the question was worth" on tests. On one of our quizzes, he did provide a diagram that looked like a kite (two pairs of adjacent sides each with the same length but different length than the other pair) but listed the angles in a way that could only work for a parallelogram that was not a kite, and he made good on his word to take off extra points for people who misidentified it as a kite.

I’ve never thought of it that way. Come to think of it, I could name many of the influential people at Apple from the 1970s through the 1990s beyond the founders and CEOs. Bill Atkinson, Larry Tesler, Ike Nassi, Alan Kay, Susan Kare, Chris Espinosa, Johanna Hoffman, Jean Louis Gassée, Steve Sakoman, Bruce Tognazzini, and Don Norman immediately come to mind. I can also name many of the key NeXT players, like Avie Tevanian and Bertrand Sertlet. However, with the exceptions of Jony Ive and Scott Forstall, I don’t know the names of key engineers and product designers at Apple these days. This may be due to Apple’s evolving culture of secrecy.

[I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io] We get paid in two ways, 1) companies pay us a flat "referral fee" if they hire a candidate we send them, 2) through sponsorships of our newsletter.

We are not involved at all after the contract is signed. We believe in independent fractional hiring vs. a middleman. Therefore, we don't take any % from the fractional or the company, aside from the referral fee mentioned above. No restrictions on relationship, do as y'all please.

I used to do fractional work myself, and I designed this structure with myself in mind, if that makes sense.

I think a better metric is how fast I'm switching between things. Logs, Slack, editor, something else: if the monitor's flashing like crazy as I go back and forth trying to tie things together...
The word fractional implies a level of expertise / seniority. But yes, it's a fancy word for part-time.

[I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io] Fractional is not quite the same as part-time, so we do not post all part-time roles. Generally speaking, we filter for the following criteria:
- Senior-level role, think 6+ years experience at least, but ideally 10+
- Compensation is likely $100 / hr or more
- Within a common function area (Marketing, Finance, Engineering, etc.)

Bottom line, these are the 17 we think are the best fits for our fractional community of 10,000+.

Does that make sense?
I've been taking an annual fishing pilgrimage to Fraser Island for over a decade, maybe two now. Took my skin diving gear to catch some lobster one year, but it was too rough to see much. Just before we went the next year a skin diver got eaten by a shark off Indian head. Skin diving gear has remained home ever since.

A few years later I spent a couple of weeks camping and fishing at Teewah Beach. Loverly spot, not too difficult to get to. A stag party group moved in beside us on the beach, which I wasn't too happy about. That night there was a bit of loud fun emanating from them, but not as bad as I thought it might be. Driving back the next day, we saw the group sitting on a log. No yahoo'ing now, they looked morose. Turned out a couple of them how drowned a few hours earlier trying to rescue a boy in the surf. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-06/teewah-two-men-drowne...

Personally I don't regard Australia as particularly dangerous. I've been more scared in Switzerland climbing an ice pathway to a pub just meters are a 100m cliff, slipping and the only thing preventing me from certain death was a rope I was holding onto with all my might. I thought the setup was nuts, but the locals didn't seem is the slightest bit fazed by it. But I guess it's what your familiar with. My mother ensured I was swimming in the surf not long after I could walk, and the Swiss haven been climbing icy paths not log after they got out of nappies. Australia is a safe place if you are Australian, and Switzerland is safe if you are Swiss.
Yeah, any talk about “reigning in government spending/waste” that doesn’t start and end with the military is totally unserious. The DOD wastes more money every day than all the usual suspects in this kind of talk do in a year.

FWIW you're describing a great use case for a fCTO.

In my experience there is a MASSIVE difference in the type of feedback someone gives on code vs a design. A design doc encourages "why" questions to get everyone thinking about the problem space. For example, a design doc comment might be "why are we suggesting a Rust Webserver when nobody in the company is proficient in Rust yet?".

In my experience those more subtle questions are much harder to raise once a prototype is working - "why does the team's experience matter? look how great it works! If you don't block it we could get this to production in a week by just polishing the prototype!"
So did I buy a smart TV at some blink of time when the software had gotten pretty good but not yet infested with ads? I have an LG with WebOS.

I guess it might have ads for apps or content if I ever opened the app store thing or whatever it's called. But I never have any reason to do that beyond the initial setup when I installed youtube/netflix/some other apps or when they (very rarely) want an update.

So I'm perfectly happy with having apps for various services and a pretty decent UI with pointer remote, and easy casting and screen mirroring from my phone or laptop.

These homogenous threads make me wonder if I'm alone or got super lucky on the timing of my purchase. But since the OS does update sometimes I don't think that's it?

It's actually easier to shop for medical care than dental. Health plans are now required to give members an online price comparison tool.

[I'm the founder of https://fractionaljobs.io] You'd hire a Fractional CTO when you don't have the need for (or the budget for) a full-time CTO, but still want that level of technical expertise. It's really as simple as that.

If you have a senior engineer that can flex into that role and that's good enough for you, then great. We help a couple companies a month hire Fractional CTOs though for the reasons I stated above. When it works, it can work exceptionally well but its NOT right for every use case.

Stream Processing with DuckDB/Polars?
I'm looking to do relatively simple streaming transformations on CDC data coming from Postgres. Dealing with a relatively small amount of data (1Ks to 10Ks of rows per minute, in most situations) making something like Flink + Kafka seem way overkill. Could engineer something custom that just builds on Postgres logical replication but would like something that just cleanly plugs in with DuckDB or Polars.

Doing some research a little bit surprised there isn't too much out there in terms of trying to solve for these relatively simple single-node processing situations. There are some things (e.g. pg_replicate) but would like something that's more oriented around the Arrow data ecosystem. Curious if anyone has either managed to build anything custom here that worked well, or any tools I'm missing.

Show HN: Retirementodds.com – a versatile free retirement Monte Carlo calculator
I built a retirement calculator because I couldn't find one for free that did everything I wanted. This originated as a spreadsheet that helped me with my FIRE journey, and now its my retirement passion project.

RetirementOdds.com has a simple mode for getting started, but a much more capable advanced mode. In advanced mode, you can have an unlimited number of assets and cash flows. It handles specialty cash flows like investment real estate, health care, social security, and loans. Every cash flow can have custom start and end dates and rates of return or inflation. Federal and state tax expenses are estimated for you, including handling of long term capital gains.

The computation is a Monte Carlo "chance of success" based on a normalized distribution of returns with an average and standard deviation that you specify. Plus eight different useful charts in the results pane. You can also do a "What If" calculation which allows you to choose one parameter to vary while it runs the calculation multiple times to see how it affects the results.

Tech stack: Front end is "vanilla" Javascript with help from Plotly.js. Back-end (calculations) are Java on AWS Lambda.

Future features:
- Drawdown re-ordering
- RMD handling
- Charts improvements
- Sequence of returns and recession modeling

Feedback is much appreciated!

It's not a counterexample. There is exactly zero exact information in it. It's just a statement from somebody who profits from such statements. Even if I just say that's not true has more value, because I would even benefit from what Karpathy said, if it had been true.

In this case, the guy clearly slower than simple copy-paste, and modification.

I had very similar experiences. Sometimes it just used a different method, which does almost the same, just worse. I had to even check what the heck is the used method, because it's not used for obvious reasons, because it was an "internal" one (like apt and apt-get).
