> But we couldn't figure out a way to procure drivers.

I briefly worked for Grab the company, which was another SE Asia "Uber". Among other things, at one point they procured drivers in Saigon by giving the wives/families free chicken meat. This way, they could prepare the drivers meals to take while they were out on the road all day long.

Kind of a local spin on tech workers free meals.
The Making of Community Notes (2024)
There would have to be a visa that you qualify for that the company could sponsor you for, such as an O-1 or a country-specific visa, but given how long such a process likely would take, even if you qualified for another visa, you probably wouldn't get it much faster than the J-2 work card.
This looks potentially great, thanks. I'll give it a try.
You're saying it is not possible to build a loophole into a law.

I'm saying that it is.

I share your viewpoint on this, that DFT is a poor proxy model for ML to approximate.

However, the alternative of using, for example - experimental data, is that the synthesis procedures, measurement parameters, sample impurities, and even differences between experimental apparatus means training datasets of even modest size are insanely heterogeneous. So models either are either trained to predict differences between materials due to experimental discrepancies, trained on very small datasets, or must have a slew of post-hoc physics-based adjustments added to get reasonable numbers.

Higher order computational methods (including simply more intensive, non-high throughput DFT) are accurate but expensive as you know. Some of them have systematic error in the way DFT does, and are essentially based on user choice of (many!) parameters. Charged defect calculations are on example of this. Finding large (>10^4) training sets with similar parameters for computation is difficult. “ML” for these kinds of calculations usually consists of like, calculating a hundred (or 10) crystals within a narrow chemical system, doing a linear regression on one variable (eg, valence of cation on some site), and getting numbers +\- 10% of a “true” number.

GGA/meta-GGA DFT, on the other hand, can be applied at a sufficient fidelity to get real(ish) numbers in a homogenous way across huge numbers of crystals. So you are correct, you are predicting an approximate number for a property in many cases. But if we know the approximate number is wrong due to systematic error (and we can, in some situations) we can apply corrections or higher order methods to get the right(ish) answer. More, it’s highly dependent on which property you’re interested in. Some properties, like band gap, can be off by a lot. Others, like formation energy, can be calculated pretty accurately even with run-of-the-mill GGA DFT. Elastic moduli are generally ok.

in summary, approximating DFT with ML is just the least messy way to get real-ish answers across a large number of materials. Of course, there’s a point at which low-fidelity DFT calculations are - (1) so cheap and (2) so inaccurate, generally - that having an ML model approximate them is pointless. Most large DBs of materials now use good enough DFT that the numbers they calculate are not pointless for ML to learn from.

In the future, I think models trained on large numbers of DFT calculations will have to be applied to narrow sets of higher fidelity calculations by tuning. Much like you can fine tune a generalized LLM to do specific things. That might be where ML can actually bring real value to materials design.

Also, it’s worth considering that synthesizing novel materials can be insanely difficult. So 1 in 4 is not bad in my opinion.
MAGA didn't happen in a vacuum. Two republican presidents have been elected in the 21st century, and after both of their first elections, the media fostered widespread misperception of the legitimacy of their wins through selective reporting of the truth. For people coming into the leadership of the GOP now, folks in their 40s and 50s like Vance and Johnson, remember the 2000 election very well, but not the Walter Cronkite era when the media was more even-handed. That inevitably shapes their own approach to communication.

FWIW, every ROCm library currently in the Debian 13 'main' and Ubuntu 24.04 'universe' repository has been built for and tested on every discrete consumer GPU architecture since Vega. Not every package is available that way, but the ones that are have been tested on and work on Vega 10, Vega 20, RDNA 1, 2 and 3.

Note that these are not the packages distributed by AMD. They are the packages in the OS repositories. Not all the ROCm packages are there, but most of them are. The biggest downside is that some of them are a little old and don't have all the latest performance optimizations for RDNA 3.

Those operating systems will be around for the next decade, so that should at least provide one option for users of older hardware.
There are a lot more people with the idea of making money than there are people making money.

I suppose a truer test of character would have been if I had not had one big win fall into my lap that offset all the non-wins. But one of the messages I was hoping to convey is that one's life trajectory includes a lot of randomness. The best you can hope to do through volitional action is slightly tilt the odds in your favor. But that might be enough.
Honestly I wouldn't rush to see the Mary Rose unless you are extremely interested. It's a little anticlimactic as a viewing experience.

A theory I've heard of why this happens is that Europeans are generally suspicious because there is a lot of international trauma considering Europe was the center of two World Wars, both relatively recently. The US on the other hand didn't have that imprinted in its collective memory.
Nitpick: you haven’t found any bugs. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Just want to echo the other replies and say i think this is rare. It happens, but it's rare. I have >15 years experience, and currently work in finance making plenty. A while ago, i spoke to a recruiter about opportunities outside finance; everything he had topped out at ~90k for engineers, a bit higher for team leads.

But then, i also have friends working at a few non-finance companies on 100-150k. Small places, willing to pay for quality. Seems to be unusual though!
The camera app opened Simple Gallery Pro for me no problem back when I used it. I've been back using Google Photos for a while now so perhaps the camera app has regressed since.
I'm probably drifting from the blog post here:

I'm usually averse to pointing out conflicts like you mention but there's certainly an sort of "internet culture" of playing the game of internet imagery and etc and ... decrying it / pining for something simpler / more fulfilling.

They know they can just go be simpler and give it a shot right?

People are full of conflicts so that alone isn't a surprise, but the scale of this seesaw on the internet feels weirdly large.

I sometimes think they mean that the people they see with all the "titles, achievements, influence" are not the people they like, and some simpler ideal is just the natural argument against them. Meanwhile ... they would rather be the folks with "titles, achievements, influence.".

In Germany, you have to be extremely frustration tolerant for surviving running a small startup. The bureaucracy is crazy and convoluted, the funding (including research grants) frustrating and obscure, the consultants (e.g. tax advisor) to help with these expensive and infuriating, the software (eg bookkeeping) infantile.
>'The Art of Asking Your Boss For A Raise' by French experimental author Georges Perec is best read aloud. It’s a theatrical piece with dazzling, recursive language that evokes laughter and pity at 'your' plight as you tackle the practical and emotional burden of asking for a much needed (if not deserved) pay increase while in the employ of one of France’s largest companies.

Thanks, that's interesting to know! Although my comment was addressed to willmadden, and I think they just do not know what jurisdiction means.
By the way; the perpetual 'for life' stuff gets sold on SaaS sales sites like appsumo all the time. It’s just a grift and should be forbidden: hopefully some law will be made for that as well.
The Plague of Justinian was also the first recorded major outbreak of bubonic plague. Black death seems to be the pivot-point at a lot of important moments in history.
My personal experience, and I think the optimal case, is to come on L1 but apply to H1B via consular interview. This way, if you're ever fired from your job, you use the H1B to get authorization to work in a new company (need to leave the US and get a visa in a consulate), while keeping L1 benefits as possible (spouse can work and no lottery).

IMO, any technology that can be used to take control of devices away from their owners is inherently evil and should be banned outright, even if there are other uses of it that would be legitimate.

It reminds me of some of the "I had a job in finance but it wasn't fulfilling so I went and did X" and X is where they take their massive nest egg and largely without much hassle just buy a nice retirement (farm or something and do wood working).

It's presented as some sorta contrast / revelation, but story is one that wasn't going to happen without the first part.

Reminds me of the start up that gets acquired and the former founder sitting on his pile of cash upset about what they do with his product. Bro you took gobs of money to let them do that thing ...

You've made a good faith guess, I think. But again, Egypt has a visa exclusive program for Palestinians. Visa exclusive means that Palestinians do not need a visa to enter and travel through Egypt. So, at least based on the story so far, the only visa he needed was an American one, having nothing to do with Israel except that he probably was afraid to enter Egypt.

This is all speculative in terms of how it relates to your friend. All this to make the point that bias and generalizing about things, and a desire to blame people one has been taught to hate, can be detrimental to one's success.
Intersting.

I have noticed that on the mornings where I do some exertion before anything else—a run, some yoga, etc.—that my ability to "receive" and process the things that come at me is so much better. It feels like there's a waiting room, whereas otherwise, whatever comes at me gets a 1:1 response.

Have you found weightlifting to be specifically beneficial, or is that just your morning workout of choice?

The point being made though is that business success is greatly influenced by existing wealth, since it gives you the luxury of being able to absorb the costs and risks involved. People like to give a few rare exceptions to the rule as somehow evidence that this isn't true.

The best analogy I've seen is that starting a business is like playing a game at a carnival. The more tickets you buy, the more attempts you have to win the prize. Meanwhile most folks are the carnival workers, never being able to get a chance to play the game in the first place.
The law firm I work for (as lead software engineer) did the TN thing for a Canadian software engineer hire for my team last year. [I was not involved in the paperwork but] my understanding is we got an immigration lawyer to help us write everything the right way, since we had not done it before (and lawyers specialize), and it was not especially expensive and it all worked out quite quickly.
Companies are not fungible in the eyes of a nation.
with all due respect this cannot be further from the truth. americans are taught from young age that to make it in life they must increase their earnings. america needs modern day slaves working in cubicles 9-10 hours per day (even if you are at FAANG making high six figures you still a slave…).

but economics which america would not dream teach their young is that you can also cut expenses :) this is the quiet life part that you missed in the post… how much money do you think you need to make to have an insane level-of-comfort life in say Hope, Arkansas…?

Thanks for the encouragement, but I just turned 60. Running a company is too demanding for me to try it again. My ambition now is to be a writer and find an audience that wants learn the easy way things that I had to learn the hard way.

Fascinating. I was curious to see when and if any serious correlated conditions would arise from this class of medication. They're so incredibly popular, I'm sure theres plenty of opportunity to gather data.

Im not sure an increased risk of pancreatitis is going to sway many minds on taking this drug, for cosmetic purposes or for actual diabetes. After all, being diabetic already increases your risk of pancreatitis:

Here's to hoping that 10 year expousure studies arent terrifying. The massive public uptake of this drug is a bit concerning, but it really does seem almost miraculous in its ability to treat so many things
There is a danger to hating something so much, that it goes underground. A major reason why President Trump won the first time around was because hatred against Trump and his supporters was so strong, that many people being polled were afraid to tell the pollsters who they were really voting for, for fear of being destroyed. This is a major reason why Trump outperformed his polling.

In the meantime, when people are lied to by every avenue of culture, they are convinced everyone else believes in the lies, so they feel alone and in the minority, even though they may very well be in the majority. So long as this spell can be maintaned, the dictator can hold his grip on power.

But what happens when that spell was broken? When something happens, and all of the sudden, everyone realizes they've been in the majority all along? This is how dictatorships topple -- and the toppling can happen very swiftly, as Ceausescu discovered in Romania.

Elon Musk acquiring Twitter and taking out the censorship is what initially cracked the spell this time; and when Trump was elected not just by Electoral College, but by the Popular Vote, the spell was broken completely. It's why we're seeing so much change now, and why it's so rapid.

You’ll recall a surprising number of details if you start trying to write even an outline of stuff down.

Many may not have actually happened, but it’s still worth considering even decades later.
I’ve had a lot of coffee breaks with highly placed peers who expressed concern because our boss was sure our success came down to one or two attributes and seemed completely blind to all the ways we saved him from himself. If apathy ever took over the team, we would burst into flames because of all of these details.

There’s a great old aphorism that sounds like sarcasm if you don’t understand this: “Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.” Any halfway sane team is dominated by people who are all too happy to jump on the Big Things. But for want of a nail, the kingdom can be lost. And if you cannot see his importance, and fire the farrier to hire more knights, then everybody loses.

That is a very condescending tone.

So far, all I can infer is an acceptance of how compiling C code is hard and rather messy. I am no more uninformed on this than this literally being a daily fact of my paid life, but do go on, tell me how I've missed the point.

American leftist discourse about Europe is always hilarious. Apparently someone forgot to tell them that the "free" healthcare just means that it is forcibly deducted from your pay and only "free" if you don't work (Free meaning the people who work pay for you). Also they forget to mention that the actual health care system is chronically understaffed and that you should avoid the hospital if at all possible and that you might wait months to see a specialist.

Car discourse is another very good one. Apparently Europeans just really hate cars and take bikes/busses everywhere. They seem to genuinely believe that the US is the only country in the world with a car culture.

For those that don't know, the lack of capitalization is a Gen Z affect. To the people who write like this, using capitalization is a type of formality that is reserved for serious topics and is almost like most of us would consider all caps, but more nuanced. Writing is inherently a form of self-expression, and so is ripe for artistic expression. The topic and the lack of capitalization actually make a lot of sense together given the author's cultural context.
I'm not rich but I make software money and I can attest to this. I follow a personal finance guru named Ramit Sethi and his motto is to cut costs on things that don't bring you joy in life so you can spend extravagantly on the things that do bring you joy. This applies to all people, not just rich people, though obviously the scale is different for people with higher income/net worths.

For me, I don't see a need to spend a lot of money on clothes because I work at home without video. But I will spend on luxury vacations and dinners, and I will certainly spend money on services that can help save me time at home/work.
I'd say what a person chooses to put their time and energy into is more important than their political affiliation.

ROCm support for RDNA took like 2 years, maybe longer.

If you actually were using both, you'd know that CDNA was the only supported platform on ROCm for what felt like an eternity. That's because CDNA was designed to be as similar to GCN so that ROCm could support it easier.

--------

What I'm saying is that today, now that ROCm works on RDNA and CDNA, the two architectures can finally be unified into UDNA. And everyone should be happy with the state of code moving forward.
