I have no idea who this Landuke guy is. However, skipping through his video, I can only agree. Bluesky is for people who want to live in a particular filter bubble. Diversity of opinions is not welcome. Their motto could be "go woke or go away". Not really news. It's just kind of pathetic.

I appreciate X for the fact that all sorts of views are represented. The "algorithm" wants to funnel you into a filter bubble, but you can fight this by choosing what accounts you want to follow.

Someone, I forget who (Kent Beck, maybe?) refers to this as the peemodoro technique.
Politics, nepotism, ass-kissing, or incompetence exist everywhere and at every level. Just the byproduct of not living in a utopia.

But beyond that there's way more to building than writing code or laying bricks. These aren't the career defining challenges you think they are. Solving problems is, and most problems in any non-trivial activity are not solved with code or more precise brick placement.

So while you should be able to code and lay bricks enough to be comfortable in any conversation in the team, you'll get away with not being the best at that if you have skills useful for the bigger picture.

When someone conceived the whole thing and considered all the implications properly from the start, when they "politicked" their way into smoothing the path for the builder to walk and build on, when they "ass-kissed" to get the resources they need, then they're certainly a few steps ahead of any junior or middle even before writing a line of code.
I'm in the UK and since buying a house, I really feel no need to keep going higher. Property pricing in the UK is extremely damaging.

If I found a job at a higher level that I thought I'd really enjoy and that I'd be good at, I'll be interested, but otherwise I'm content.

It is absolutely contradictory to make something like this and then say you don't condone cheating. All intellectual activity comes with responsibility, a duty that is lacking in today's society. And part of that responsibility is to evaluate whether your creation will cause good or harm and then decide to release it based on that evaluation. Because there will always be bad actors, it's important not to create or release things like this.

It's the same reason why most countries restrict the sale of automatic weapons to civilians: they don't do much good but cause much harm. There is really no good contribution to any part of society from releasing this code.

Obviously, it's just for games, but many people enjoy games and with the single action of not releasing this bot, you could improve the experience many people have by not making this available.
I've used this tool in the past with success. Not perfect but it accelerates the work greatly if you can launch a mitm proxy quickly and are familiar with the tool.

I've been fighting lately with an API, though. It's not very, let's say, RESTy. It has only one endpoint, and the different "sections" of the API are defined in parameters, so MitmProxy2Swagger doesn't detect them properly :(

Any benefit of using a VM over docker container here? Since you seem to use the terminal only, without any graphical applications. Containers should be more lightweight and dockerfiles allow quick and reproducible changes to the guest OS.

In my current team, almost every IC is staff+, so predictably almost all the code produced by the team is written by such people.

I am guessing but I suspect there is an "easily accessible" SIM slot somewhere. Might be somewhere convenient like behind a panel in the glovebox, or might be in the bowels of the engine bay along with the other ECU things.

I would be surprised if it was not "easily" removable though ... Unless they are using esims now?

(Nothing in modern cars is "easy" to do - everything is a bitch to access and tighten/untighten etc - even oil filters etc which in theory should be able to be changed regularly are sometimes in incredibly inaccessible locations)
Well, for some brands they truncated the GPS info. There is some likeliness that they misconfigured a branch of their software by mistake and a fix is to set the flag they already got (and then ensuring to keep the flag right on a permanent base ...)
> people need to adapt

Are you eliciting or was that just a bad choice of words?

In many languages, "if you (A) adapt to something (B)", A changes (and possibly largely tolerates) and B does not. "If you (A) adapt something (B)", B changes after your action, A does not.
Obvious question: How to protect against this ?
I'm not sure what this means exactly, because AI is a wide field that covers so much and angers a great many people for many different reasons.

But IMO it's pointless to hope for something else. AI at its core turns out to be pretty simple. No matter what the best intentioned scientist did, somebody else would think differently.

For example, Stable Diffusion was originally released with a filter that refused to generate porn. There's your scientist thinking of social consequences. But does anyone even still remember that was a thing? Because I'm pretty sure every SD UI in existence at this point has it disabled by default.
I am getting quite deep into coding with AI and cost of tokens is a bit of an issue indeed.

Trivial issue because it saves me A LOT of time, but it could be an issue for new people testing it.

I would love to test this approach. Are you guys fine tuning for each codebase?
I think that it is a nice observation. Some people complain that explaining the formation of a rainbow scientifically makes it lose its "aweness" but I think it even deepens it.

Actually, property 5) trivially implies 1) but also 2), as `(1+2+...+n)² = n²(n+1)²/4` and either n or n+1 must be divisible by 2 hence one of the squares divisible by 4 hence it is a product of squares. But also property 4) as `(1+2+...+n)² = 1³+2³+...+n³` (easy to show by induction).
The more challenging part for some people (certainly for me) is what to spend an unreasonable amount of time on.
That's a really helpful perspective. Thinking from the perspective of executives is a handy tool. Thanks!
I am in the same boat. Specially after delivering multiple high impact systems and still getting the talk - "This is great, but not enough for the next promotion". So after a while I just realized that these levels are artificial and meaningless to a large extent.
Does it perhaps mean in business speak: "We're now in the third phase of growth, we needed to make the engineers spend less on servers"?
> Emails are fine, as they can be anonymous as long as you don't use one of the larger providers

I’ve always struggled with this.

If you use a large provider for your email, the provider can likely de-anonymize you, but the person you give your email address to will struggle.

If you use your own domain, you’ve de-anonymized yourself already.

So I guess you have to use a smaller provider like protonmail? Which gets messy once you start wanting to have lots of email addresses, or to use subaddressing of some sort?

Within the framework, where to put the coders who write great codes?
To add to that, text has more of "authorial intent" (debates on the demise of which notwithstanding) than other media.

Consider the visual rebus, for example, which is open to interpretation and depends on commonality of context in both producer and consumer, contrasted to a rigorous argument, which depends onoy on commonality of (technical) jargon.

Video ends up conveying information thanks to narration, while the visuals assuage boredom. Like an Adam Curtis documentary: it's essentially an essay read out, with clips and music overlaid to keep the audience from realising they're told, rather than shown, the argument.

Having the talking points as aides memoire on screen is nice in that it charts the course of the argument, but the map is not the territory, and we end up with significant information loss and knowledge gap.

I think that moving from the message in itself to its summation (i.e. from text to bullets) creates a knowledge divide between the producer (who knows more) to the consumer (who has access to less and can only divine the rest).

It's pretty bourgie IMO.

Nowadays they put high fees on early exchange so they can still make millions, but that makes their position much more uncomfortable)
Bit of an understatement, should be "always have access" if state attackers are included in the threat model.

Docker uses virtualization on Macs
Yes, they are. Starship has proven multiple novel engineering approaches and technologies. Examples:
1. catching the booster in the air to save on landing gear weight and complexity
2. firing 33 engines simultaneously in a tight cluster
3. the only large scale production and use of CH4-fuelled engines (all other CH4 engines have only been fired a handful of times at most)
ChatHub is the first service to do this, and it's been around for almost two years, even before the release of the GPT-3.5 API.
This Angela Collier’s video about Feynman’s legacy also furthers yours point. He is an engaging and prolific writer but he does lean too much into the “great man-myth” figure of his subjects while underreporting their flaws.

These are just examples, and one can always nitpick, but I hope some people get something out of this.

If you are a competent team lead and are a technical person who understands the substance, you understand relatively well what "glue" is needed and is valuable for your team and the company. Then when some engineer does that glue work, you reward them! You might have the glue items as part of the normal work item management, or then not, it depends.

When you have retrospectives, you can always review "our builds were failing 50% of the time in January but now in May, it's only 10%, big thanks to X for fixing A!". Or it can come up in personal reviews etc.

You don't forward everything to your boss or product manager to decide. They don't review your team's code either. But you of course have to communicate that you will have less capacity for a while to do features, since you're working on an internal thing. Then after that the team will have more capacity for features than before.

This is the kind of work the team lead is expected to do, to keep the machine working. They are not doing a good job if they only follow orders and the machine stops because somebody didn't specifically tell them to oil it. Or if the machine is destroyed because periodic maintenance was not performed.

It's of course bad if the team ends up spending most of their time building fancy internal things that don't produce value. It is tempting to end up building cool stuff. That is then the team lead's responsibility to steer away from. It's a balance.

Marcus clearly threw a lot of spaghetti, seemingly pessimistic "it socks and won't get better" and then cherry picks confirmations, for the bits that stuck to the wall.

How about he indicates: 1. How he came to these conclusions (coin flip? Pessimism?) 2. How many predictions he missed. He's implying a very high rate of success, which is a big red flag of shenanigans for me.

This is little more than vague generalities and coin flipping with retroactive cherry picked "See?! I was right!" analysis.

A gypsy at a traveling circus serves up about the same.
Writing code is easy when you have a spec to work to. It more or less writes itself - see <30second submissions to Advent of Code last month (likely AI - but it doesn’t matter how it was written for this point; just that it was written and solved the spec).

Getting that spec is damned hard.

What do i mean by spec? Basically are you going to build the right thing. A hard problem - if you think it’s easy, it more than likely means you didn’t understand the problem.

The reason pinning down a spec is so hard is because at the macro level, there are very few actual solutions - mostly only trade-offs are available to work with.

> No matter what the best intentioned scientist did, somebody else would think differently.

This is exactly an argument that supports technological determinism. We simply can't decide -- we have no ability for oversight to stop technology from evolving. That's precisely why I think AI is so dangerous.
I'm amazed that some people think that coupling your forms to your database models is a good practice.
I've been doing this for 10+ years, and have seen GPU-based calculations slowly eat away at the following problems:

* Mapping. Nowadays generating a dense grid of costs can be done insanely fast on GPU. There's just no excuse to not use a GPU on every robot so it can build a fast map, unless you move at snail speed.

* Computer Vision. Classical depth mapping is best done on a GPU. Classical computer vision object detection has fallen away to the rise in ML-based CV for segmentation. Some (IMHO) overzealous practitioners are trying to eat away at estimation and tracking, which IMHO will recede a little since there was nothing wrong with the estimators (just Bayesian stats) to begin with, it was always the measurements. Still, for detection (and sometimes association), ML on GPU is the way to go and that will very likely not change. It has gotten so good that you can get away without using other sensors and just deploying a vision system (though I don't recommend it, but this is what Tesla does). This is an obvious case for one (or one more) GPU on every robot.

* Planning - End to end planning is eating traditional planning now, similar to CV. There are some areas where this is an obvious win (e.g., complex manipulation tasks), and some areas where some overzealous overreach is happening (e.g., simpler planning tasks like routing). But ML on GPUs is here to stay for all planning tasks, especially when estimating costs from complex data, even if a classical planner uses those costs. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention policy-based planning, which does a huge amount of training to generate essentially a fast lookup table for actions. Deployment of these types of planners often requires a very good estimator to determine what state you are in - and this is a great area for ML, mapping real world messy data to a clean state lookup. I think this can typically be done without a GPU, due to training prior to deployment, but if you have a GPU already (see prior two), you will find this is a good use of it.

* Low-level planning / Controls - Shares a small overlap with above, but mostly concerned with fast responses to transient data and stabilizing the system. I've heard, but not seen directly, that learned policies are coming into vogue here. But regardless, it is a common thread that a network can assist with estimating costs and states to allow a traditional controls system to operate more reliably. I doubt this will necessitate a GPU, but like above, will gladly use it if required and available.

To add to this, consider that we're generally not talking about discrete, gaming-type GPUs, we're talking about purpose built robotics-targeted embedded systems that speak native CUDA. The Jetson family, in particular.
RWKV already solve the parallel compute problem for GPU, based on the changes it has done - so it is a recurrent model that can scale to thousands++ of GPU no issue.

Arguably with other recurrent architecture (State Space, etc) with very different design implementation. The issue of old recurrent design was just the way LSTM was designed. Not the recurrent nature.
Ah but we can create a technical solution to easily ignore a social problem until it festers horribly!
Once you hit a certain scale anything on the AWS console becomes impossible to use. It’s one of the reasons most high to very high scale companies use something else to manage cloud resources. See: Spinnaker and Asgard for Netflix specific examples, but also Terraform and the many alternatives.
What specifically do you want to protect?
I have heard VDI described variously as "an abomination", "unusable except when you absolutely have no other option", and "don't". That might be down to the implementations in play at the time, though.

I most often see this sort of thing where corporate IT can't stomach devs getting root on their own machines. It's a very specific sort of corporate dysfunction.
marimo is really cool, albeit "pure python" is only true insofar as the diff is concerned. other than that, it's an unconnected group of functions that need the marimo runtime to stitch together.

would be cool if marimo could "unroll" the compute graph into a standalone python script that doesn't need the marimo library
I can actualy cope quite well with the slides that have 5 words on. But typically in the organisations that I have worked for, people will cram 200 words on a slide and then droningly reads them out.

No matter how often I explain that 'people can either listen to what you are saying, or read the slide - pick one' - it doesn't really sink in
lower compute cost especially over longer sequence length. Depending on context length, its 10x, 100x, or even 1000x+ cheaper. (quadratic vs linear cost difference)

>Why do they even need this data?

They sell it of course.
You make a bold marketing claim, 4.2x Sonnet, but viewing your website, I can see no data or test results to back this up.
I know it’s off topic but this post reeks of LLM-generated content. The itemized lists with bold two word headings are a dead giveaway.
I suspect GP is being downvoted because of their choise of words. As someone who also doesn't speak English as a first language I think "people need to adapt" can also be understood in a positive manner. GP seems to suggest we need laws and legislation to fix this issue, and that would lead me to assume that they mean it in the same sense as "resist". In my language I think the literal translation of how we would prhase it might also be "adapt".
Now draw a picture that conveys everything just said in 24 words.

Depends on the use case. Often if I’m sharing data between threads there’s a good chance I’ll want to scale it to another instance at some point so just going straight to Redis is pretty common.

Especially if there’s a chance I’d want that data to persist across restarts.

It’s one thing if I’m using a BEAM language, but otherwise I’ll usually reach for Redis.
Career frameworks at corporations should be mostly ignored. They are thinly veiled attempts to extract more work from the same employees.
