Aha... I like the confidence that "I'm right, all those climate scientists are swindlers", based on your knowledge that "0.04% is a very small number". True, you probably would not lose sleep after e.g. losing 0.04% of your investments, but I dare say, believing this translates to the area of climate change is an act of supreme ignorance.

As for the rest of your stance, I asked ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/6776fe8b-8bd0-800e-875f-bae617ccfd...
Do not forget the 6 degree of separation: 1000 people are directly connected to 100 people each on average and those 1000 are generally those who suggest what to buy to most of their contacts, and those contacts will reverberate as well.

Average Joe is more ignorant than ever in IT terms, but we are near a breaking point, and OEMs have felt it, trying to worsen as usual, and as usual such ideas will led them in the opposite direction.

MyMCAT.ai is a machine learning educational technology company that seeks to build a better class of doctors. We’ve built a unique, gamified intelligent tutoring system, essentially a video game for learning the MCAT. Our platform is an intelligent tutoring system which diagnoses student weaknesses, assigns them content and videos in fun games, and then uses AI to tutor them on topics they struggle with.

It's built like a sensor network: from the beginning to the end, every interaction with our website is tracked and used to update the model's understanding of student knowledge. Every interaction on our platform is a data point – highlights, answer changes, even the coins they earn. This gives us unprecedented insight into how top performers master complex material. We're capturing the real-time cognitive processes of the highest achievers, not just their scores. We are leveraging insights from behavioral economics to optimize learning through a proprietary coin system – what students prioritize, and how they respond to incentives. For example, we learned that higher-performing students on MCAT CARs reading passages actually highlight less rather than more, turning theory of excellent test-taking into data-driven insights.

Hey there. I've applied to your open RoR dev position, like, a bunch of times- and have not once even heard back. No rejection, no update, no nothing. Is this offering real? I'd still like to throw my hat in the mix but am not sure what the next step is when there's no feedback loop?
> The real issue being why Autodesk was allowed to basically buy most of its main competitors in the 3D/CAD authoring tool space without any push back from government agencies.

That's not even remotely true. There's Dassault/Catia, Siemens/NX, PTC/Creo, and probably a dozen (or more) niche competitors.

The real problem is massive vendor lock-in. Each CAD company goes out of their way to have crappy interop with the others.
I was thinking of actors who are only there because of their fame, not talent, like Elvis.

But there’s a whole spectrum, for sure, depending on why you want to see that actor. If it’s because they give realistic, subtle performances, that’s high class, you care about quality. If it’s because of their physical prowess, that seems to be so-so. If it’s because of their physical beauty, low class, bad movie viewer, you don’t care about quality. Which amuses me, because being aesthetically pleasing is a huge part of high class quality in other things.

Thank you for that link, that is a fascinating read! I have to study the text and its references some more before I can say something sensible.

For now, it seems that I feel most comfortable with the "instrumentalist" view, even though Wallace seems to reject this quite easily. To me it seems clear that most abstractions only exist in the mind, and the recent successes with large language models suggest that the underlying mechanisms for that are not even very complex. Insisting that a fluid must exist somewhere simply because we observe it, does not strike me as a good argument. Centuries of looking for God did not help much to find that entity either.

The anecdote about the person who is shown a university, but who still insists on asking "But where is the university?" also comes to mind. I think most of this is simply a categorical mistake.

So, sure, the things are real, but "real" has a different meaning depending on who you ask.

This is true. But it would make sense to do it differently this time. On the other hand I would expect more leaks if they really were close to production. They did keep the Cybercab under wraps pretty well even after making 20 of them. But it's not going into volume production soon.

Thanks for your question! Our interview process varies by role, but generally includes a take-home coding test, one or two technical phone screens, and an onsite with 3–5 rounds. For algo developer roles, you can expect math-heavy topics like statistics and probability in addition to C++ or Python programming. Python and C++ Software Engineer interviews do not assess quantitative skills. Those roles focus more on topics like programming, debugging, and systems knowledge.

Beyond technical skills, we’re looking for strong problem-solving, communication, and a collaborative mindset. If you'd like to dig more into our software engineering interview process, we published a blog a few years ago focused on campus interviewing, but they're similar processes: https://www.hudsonrivertrading.com/hrtbeat/interview-at-hrt/

I've always felt the FCC was an inappropriate path for enforcing this. Ideally it would be powers granted to the FTC either through legislation or potentially through existing powers they might already have in this domain.

The FCC's jurisdiction on this was already shaky even before Chevron was overturned, I think the moment activism was pushed in this direction net neutrality was doomed a decade of unending lawsuits. Even if they somehow made it passed the courts, I'm not quite convinced the FCC would be motivated to actually do much about this even with a sympathetic administration. Consider that prior to the internet, they were pretty much created to do the opposite of what people want from net neutrality.

These are just my armchair thoughts though.

I am not qualified for your current hiring needs, but this is extremely interesting to me.

Right now, I am currently learning Rust and have some side projects planned writing interpreters and compilers therein, and would love to take you up on the offer to have "conversations with anyone interested" so I can learn more about what you're building and learn some things.
Linux initializes all general purpose registers to zero. It's not documented AFAIK, but should be reliable - it has to init them to some value anyway to avoid leaking kernel state. So you can get away with:

mov al,1 ;write
mov edi,eax ;handle=stdout
mov esi,msg ;assumes load address below 4G
mov dl,msg.len
syscall
mov al,60 ;assuming syscall succeeded, EAX was bytes written
xor edi,edi
syscall

The load address stays constant unless there's some magic GNU extension header to enable ASLR. If we could get the code loaded below 64K, we could save another byte by using SI instead of ESI; however this doesn't work by default, you'd have to run 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr' as root first.
A grander theme is seeing the effects of the Loper Bright decision and the end of Chevron (and certain other, but not all, forms of) deference to administrative agencies.
I think electronics stand out as an area where veblen goods don’t really exist. Partially this is due to scale vs bespoke artisanal works.

That is the differentiation between a 50k vs 200k vs 1M car is often the hand crafted mechanical and luxury touches. Often the core platform of these vehicles is even shared in the case of the VW group and its various halo brands. The things that make a luxury car better are not mass produced.

One cannot hand craft an artisanal CPU better than Apple/Arm designs in a TSMC fab, nor a screen better than Sharp/Samsung, nor a cellular modem better than Apple/Qualcomm, etc. The things that make electronics better are the result of billions worth of R&D/infra with the intention of producing tens of millions to billions of devices.
They do it with a mesh back too. Slightly more expensive but significantly better.

Exact same situation here. Linux, fairly funky firefox setup, eventually couldn't use half of the internet without hitting CF prompts, often wasn't able to get around them.

I wound up removing / reinstalling firefox...same exact setup otherwise. No more cloudflare (or vastly fewer) prompts. The internet is usable again.

Hope that helps.
Sure, but at least stars would be net more useful.
We’re getting a vivid and ongoing demonstration of just how limited that power really is. For anything short of a threat to the existence of the nation, they don’t do much for you. But if you’re trying to throw your weight around, “don’t get in my way or I’ll end the world” just isn’t a practical threat.
I am curious if there is a full team that does the research?

Do they use any AI Tools? The biggest question is do we have ant tools which helps in this? I think BBC or Discovery along with some archeological team should make a tool like this and leverage the tech power. maybe there are some patterns that we couldn't decode and AI can. Would be a fun thing to follow on.
Yeah the fixed hardware is key here. The PS5 doesn’t have to compile shaders at app launch time either.
Other motive could be to undermine western dominance in chip design. You give away free a good enough thing that is competing with your competitor's moat. If the gap is not that significant this can ruin the business for your competitor.

You can see the same with Apple and all big tech funding OpenStreetMap for example vs Google Maps. Even decreasing income for the competitor is worth it strategically. Or Satya Nadella saying in an interview that if ChatGPT just makes Google's costs higher for search is a big win for Microsoft.

You can find a set of requirements that aren't. Eg 2-factor can include phone number. And activity requirements can be based on repo maturity (no just pushing to random empty repos).

And while some boy accounts may have them, I doubt many have most.

Also, you argue on semantics but the general idea of setting up a legitimacy test that factors in various things is very easily doable, the factors can be kept private, and you definitely can find ones that are generally hard to game.
> Remember, it is hundreds of thousands of years

Remember that I have already said I disagree with this as something we should be worried about.
I didn’t say anything about taxing them, just framing the amount of wealth they have by comparing it to federal revenue. It’s too much even if it isn’t “realized”.
I think this is pretty much correct. The problems I deal with, if they are to be called problems, do not stem from a lack of information. They are largely the same ones I dealt with 5 or 10 years ago. Admittedly it took a long time since childhood to realize - no, my childhood was not normal, in fact it may have been an extreme outlier. But there wasn't too much to gain beyond that insight. The more I discuss it, the more it weighs down on me.

If I dismiss this I usually expect the conversation to swing in the direction of "alright, so what do you want out of life?" I mean, if you ask me so suddenly, I would just respond "I don't really know." I do understand this is because of my mindset and upbringing, etc. But I feel that's a "wrong" answer when it comes to many people I have spoken to in and out of therapy. I certainly have gotten pushback from such an answer from people I was supposed to trust. I have also gotten pushback from stating therapy as it pertains to me isn't quite as effective as I thought it would be. Because I think "go to therapy" is often a last resort for talking to a person about their larger-than-life problems, so if that doesn't work out, what are they supposed to do? It seems to often be taken as saying "I don't want help," which I disagree with.

Such statements from me sound like a shallow dismissals. Although I was used to handing out such dismissals when I was younger out of pessimism and a lack of insight, nowadays my general feeling is "no, this really is what I think. I just don't know what I want right now." I don't want to count that as a loss, as depression permanently changing my brain chemistry, because what will that do for me? Make me more depressed. It's certainly a downside of introspection.
Include the shebang but it’s still crazy how big minimal programs are.
This is one reason why code generation should run as part of the build process, every time. Even if you decide to check-in the generated code for visibility.
Short answer: Yes, there are ways it can be done. Multiple. Needs to be custom built though, given no one has explored it deeply yet.

One simple way is what Omar Khattab (ColBert) mentioned about scoring function instead of a simple vector.

Another is to use a classifier at the start directing queries to the right model. You will have to train the classifier though. (I mean a language model kind of does this implicitly, you are just taking more control by making it explicit.)

Another is how you index your docs. Today, most RAG approaches do not encode enough information. If you have defined domains/models already, you can encode the same in metadata for your docs at the time of indexing, and you pick the model based on the metadata.

These approaches would work pretty well, given a model as small as 100M size can regurgitate what is in your docs. And is faster compared to your larger models.

Benefit wise, I don't see a lot of benefit except preserving privacy and gaining more control.

And at best, will still need maintenance in the future. One of the top lessons I preach to juniors.
Correct. MSM+reddit reporting of Elon’s tweets is very different from his tweets themselves
I was referring to your characterization of the situation.
I've looked a bit, and not been able to find evidence of HDPE getting into cells, or exhibiting biological toxicity, whereas there seems to be quite a bit of evidence of this for almost every other type of plastic. Still, I wouldn't blame someone for just avoiding all plastic food contact by the precautionary principle.

The first study you linked is interesting- it does seem to confirm what I suspected, that HDPE does flow on knife impact causing it to release less plastic debris than other plastics, but still not zero.

The second one seems to be a fairly low quality review article looking at what does sound like a concerning issue, but doesn't really consider different types of plastic independently. It might be useful in the sense of citing a lot of papers in this area that could be looked at directly.
It wasn't to me, apologies.
Agreed on the tooling, I won't be adopting Elixir until the IntelliJ tooling is there. It's just too crippling switching to another IDE.
One breaks the criminal law, another breaks the civil law. Both break the law.
One way I might handle this would be to have a TPM on the GPU itself. Then you can move the GPU about all you like, and it will work. The GPU would have to implement an API and protocol that allows the DRM site to do attestation via software running on the CPU, but that seems doable.

The other way would be accept that the GPU that the content is to be played on might not be the same as the device on which the TPM exists. You could have the GPU on a computer halfway around the world and use a TPM from another system to which the user account is registered on the DRM site. Not great, but as a form of account sharing and subject to account sharing detection, it's not bad.

CAN Tesla still design cars? They haven't done so in like a decade.

Also Tesla cannot force Elon out, the stock would crater so bad. Also the board is 100% in his pocket, did you not see the nonsense with his "pay package"?
I think it's a decent metric. I agree with the other comment that actual imports is probably a better metric, but that's not always as trivial to find.

That said, the package repositories for many popular languages list stats of either declared dependencies or package downloads, which helps.

Citation needed. That seems implausible.
I agree, I am also interested in : date of most recent substantive commit; date of first commit; number of contributors.

I don't have hard and fast rules for how I interpret those values, it depends on my intentions but I find them useful things to consider.

Going back to the readme, nothing turns me off faster than a skeletal readme, it doesn't have to be "War and Peace" but it needs to be more than just how to install it.

I was recently bit doing a Postgres upgrade by the Postgres team considering statements like `select 1 group by true` fine to silently break in Postgres 15. See https://postgrespro.com/list/thread-id/2661353 - and this behavior remains undocumented in https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/ . It's an absolutely incredible project, and I don't disagree with the decision to classify it as wontfix - but it's an anecdote to not rely on undefined behavior!
