What kinds of jobs are you applying for? Your first job talks more about the business side of starting this startup than your technical experience.

I think there needs to be an emphasis on your technical proficiency and less about the status of your startup. Are you even interested in a job given your startup?
> I don't want to write a Kubernetes controller. I don't even know why it should exist.

I don't want to write one either. Given the choice, I won't even touch one.

I think I know why they exist, though. Kubernetes is a system of actors (resources) and events (state transitions). If you want to derive new state from existing state, and to maintain that new state, then you need something that observes "lower" state transitions and takes action on the system to achieve its desired "higher" state.

Whether we invent terminology for these things or not, controllers exist in all such systems.
I at least didn't read any of the links because I couldn't care less beyond seeing what everyone was talking about in a thread about tuberculosis in the US.

My point still stands that if someone doesn't want to see conversations regarding the US, politics or otherwise, maybe he should stay out of threads regarding the US and maybe also find other forums not hosted in America and managed by Americans where the vast majority of participants will be Americans.

It's like taking a trip to Mars and complaining that all the dirt is red, y'know?
The brutal thing about humanity is that most of the time we don't spend much time at all thinking about how things today might impact things tomorrow. We also tend to think more about how things today can be help ourselves, without giving much thought on how it might negatively impact others.

Basically, we're selfish and shortsighted and so it's easy at times to have rose coloured glasses.

This take discounts the implications of the fact that the efficiency and cost of Deepseek's product are orders of magnitudes better, plus the project is open source. Those facts fundamentally shift the business conditions for LLMs.

Doesn't Google claim they don't read your emails?

There's plenty of reasons to drop Google thought. They barely improve old products.

They probably try to force us to use their products: I think you can't use your own assistant with a wakeword. On my pixel watch 1, using a calendar other than Google's sucks. There is almost no useful wearos apps (sure, it's the devs jobs but Google could bribe them or something). A lot of great wear os apps would benefit everyone.

I'm still pissed that they want a monthly subscription for the sleep tracking with the Google home thing... That you buy with your own money.

Showkey: Examine Keyboard Codes
I use Zig for its cross-compilation capabilities. Maybe it's just me, but I find the Zig approach to supporting a broad variety of targets far easier to grok. For the most part I just use it as a drop-in C compiler.
API keeps going through periods of 1-2 minutes of everything timing out... then works well for ~5-10 minutes. Might be better to host this model yourself for serious use right now.
I’m sure it’s already a solution to a lot of things, that just aren’t sexy or justifiable for the current cost - for instance, if it was cheap enough, I would never have to use a keyboard again, which due to a disability I have, is becoming more difficult. That would help a lot of people almost certainly, but since it isn’t like, the next iphone, people turn their noses at it.

Solutions like neuralink if they become mature could probably use some sort of llm powered translation layer to machine instructions (which neither tech is near being perfect with). Things like that, I think we can technically do already, it is a matter of refining - the magical stuff though, I’m less sure of.
A Prius BEV would be both cheaper and more reliable with a longer lasting battery than the Prius Prime PHEV. A Prius battery only lasts ~150,000 miles whereas a Tesla battery lasts ~250,000 miles. That's because a battery is rated by the number of cycles. A Tesla goes >300 miles per cycle, and a Prius Prime about 50.

Depending on the restaurant, those may not be independent businesses at all - they may just be one of the attractions at the park.
I also use this. Pros: super cheap. <$2/mo for all my custom email addresses and routing rules. Nothing else came close - everything else I found would make me pay per email address even if that address receives an average of 0 emails per month. The wildcard suffixes are really nice as well - they use _ instead of gmail's + (I've had issues with gmail's version as it sometimes is transparently removed, or sometimes the form doesn't consider + a valid character).

Cons: UI is bad, so you'll want to access through a client. 1 person shop. Not audited AFAIK.

For behavioral interviews:

1. Write up some really basic bullet points for the stuff that commonly gets asked like, “Tell me about a time where you failed/had a disagreement/etc.” Just something you can quickly glance at and keep your thoughts on track, like “Failure: Project X,” “Success: Project Y,” “Disagreement: Coworker Z”
2. Put that on a sticky note at the edge of your screen or on your desk in front of you so you can glance at it if you need to remind yourself
3. If it’s on the phone instead of a video call or in-person, sit in front of a mirror and watch yourself to help keep yourself engaged, focused, and prevent getting distracted. Walking around a bit can help if your fidgety.
4. I always request a video call instead of an audio-only one so that I can see a face and try to keep my brain engaged with the discussion.

For Technical Interviews:

It’s sort a crapshoot and you never know what you’re going to get.

Some folks succeed by grinding LeetCode so all that stuff is fresh in their brains, but that’s never worked for me. If you can find some way to get interested or curious and get into a flow or hyper focus state, it can work, but it can be hard to find that spot.

Advent of Code can be a fun way to basically do LeetCode problems with a little storyline to them. It helps if you can come up with a good framework to help break the puzzles down into their underlying principles.

Try to find out as much about the process and expectations as you can. Be honest when you hit a point where you know there’s a better approach, but you aren’t sure what it is right now.

If it’s one of those ones where you can’t use the Internet like we all do every day for our jobs, you can always just nope out if it’s going poorly and avoid the anxiety or pseudocode it and talk about the approach you’d take. Most interviewers are human and some companies remember that we are all human, but some are looking for a machine. Your brain might not be a good fit for the machine-seekers.

Scour your network, and your network’s network, for good referrals. After you have a couple of interviews that go well and are in a good head space, try to get a referral or two.

Don’t spend all day doomscrolling job boards and applying. It’s an easy trap to fall into, but it’s so draining.

Good luck out there. The job market is rough right now.

Also, remember that some random interviewers opinion after 30 minutes to an hour of talking or whiteboarding or whatever doesn’t mean anything and doesn’t reflect on you or your abilities.

A non cynical answer: probably to try and encourage people to find new and useful ways to use AI, while learning about their limitations (e.g. hallucinations) and their strengths (e.g. rephrasing, autocomplete, concept art).

How difficult is exporting from one provider into another (e.g. from gmail into proton or purely)? I guess normies like me are a bit hesitant due to the risk of messing it up (would be a disaster to lose years of emails, as some are important for record-keeping). Curious to hear from people who've done(/attempted) it and how it went? Was it hard? Were there risks? Any regrets?
But it isn’t just the military and the taxes, it is the labor of all the people who are willing to work for US dollars that give it value. While the majority of people paid in dollars are hard working and generally honest, it seems that the majority of people paid in cryptocurrencies are scammers or criminals in one way or the other, or else financial operators. So till more people are getting paid in bitcoin or whatever I don’t see why anyone will find it something other than a speculative asset for dollar owners.

Honestly "astronomers" have really started to annoy me, which surprises me because I love space and astronomy and star-gazing and such. I have bought multiple personal telescopes over the years, so I guess I even qualify as an amateur astronomer. But lately it seems I disagree with astronomers on any intersection of astronomy and politics. I put "astronomers" in quotes because of course I realize that "not all astronomers", but the consensus does seem to be there.

> Satellite internet constellations that provide affordable internet to millions of people bad because it might hurt terrrestrial astronomy.

> Infrastructure projects should not be built in sites that are good for astronomy because astronomy is apparently more important than energy and resource production[1].

> Much ado about nothing because some amateur astronomers thought a Tesla Roadster was an asteroid. Implications that companies are irresonsible / direlict in their duty for not ensuring that astronomers are well-informed.

Just overall I've been getting the feeling over the last couple years that "astronomers" have a severely inflated sense of self-importance. Or maybe I am the problem and I am under-valuing astronomy (or over-valuing everything else).

DuckDB vs Polars for Unity Catalog integration with Delta Lake.
Doing it openly demonstrates that he thinks a lot of people (namely, people who voted for him) won't have any problem with it. In that case a corrupt state is not the biggest problem.
Yes, but BTC can only be used as gas to power the transfer of gas. Meanwhile, ETH can be used as gas to power the storage and indexing of information on world computer. If we're talking about creating underlying value, I feel like the former is tautological and latter has an application outside of itself.
Cost of living index is 96.5 in South Carolina, 134.5 in California. It's higher in California but not by an order of magnitude. Somewhat unexpectedly, grocery costs are not just the same but actually higher in South Carolina:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/grocery-pri...

Could be California's higher population density allowing store costs to be spread across more units.

Also unexpected: The highest and lowest grocery prices in the continental US are Vermont and New Hampshire, respectively, and they're geographically right next to each other with nearly identical cost of living index but Vermont is paying 2.7x as much for groceries. But New Hampshire does also have 2.2x Vermont's population density.

In any event, price fixing doesn't seem like a strong explanation, because what are they doing, fixing prices in Vermont but not in New Hampshire?
> The resurgence of TB has been the big story in infectious diseases for a while now.

It's been a big story since the 1980s, IIRC. I remember in college in the 1990s a biologist friend explaining that TB was the greatest disease threat to public health and it was being completely ignored.

Frankly, it's hard to get worked up about it. Notwithstanding that it is a serious public health threat, there's a strong political rhetoric aspect to the discussion, both in the popular and professional spheres. It's unfortunate. In the 1980s and 1990s it was all about how Reagan decimated our public health infrastructure. The arguments aren't per se wrong, but it's difficult to gauge relevance and prioritization about the threat of TB given how part of the medical and scientific community seem to have been border-line crying wolf for 40 years. Discussion centers around absolute numbers. Tell me what the per capita relationship looks like, especially per capita among the populations most vulnerable to acquisition and disease, and what the long-term trends look like. I see this in a lot of other adjacent public health discussions tainted by political hand wringing, such as food insecurity, etc--lots of absolute numbers. But global populations are growing. The US, for example, grew by 80 million people, or 30%, between 1990 and 2020. That's not to deny that tuberculosis is a growing problem, but we have many problems. And the constant drum beat of alarm causes some parts of the community to (increasingly) react in counterproductive ways. From an individual moral standpoint, that's on them, but from an epidemiological and sociological perspective, maybe the professionals bear a little blame, too, at least in terms of communication. We could all do better.
> Our societies are not in any way equipped to deal with putting what may well be a sizable majority of working-age people out of work

Our societies were built before there was a technology that could replace its smartest people with machines that never tire?

I don't get why people keep trying to imagine current society + super-intelligent AI: by definition it won't be our current society if we can actually get there would it?

I mean if we have AI that can even replace the researchers (I wouldn't dream so boldly tbh), imagine how much faster the pace of scientific discovery becomes. Imagine how much more efficient we can make power generation and transmission, discover new treatments for disease, democratize learning at costs never before possible...

I don't love to spend too much time daydreaming what we could do down that because SWEs already feels like a bit of a pipedream, so all novel research being automated away is just completely in fantasy land... but realistically we're already on a pretty terrible trajectory otherwise.

Our next billion people are about to be born into some of the worst off parts of the planet. AI becoming good enough to replace researchers would be an infinitely more positive trajectory than some of the others we could end up on on otherwise.

There's probably a reversal of that trend when you know a lot about it. I don't know how you could go through building your own GPT-2 and not see it as an incredible technology and useful advancement that is going to give us an incredible number of insights and tools.

I still can't get over how soon people just accepted that you can universally translate all languages, that audio can be accurately transcribed, that you can speak a sentence and get pretty good research on a topic. These things are all actually insane and everyone has just decided to ignore this and focus on the aesthetic grossness of some of the things people are trying to get them to do.
* Yes I am aware I am not running R1, and I am running a distilled version of it.

If you have experience with tiny ~1B param models, its still head and shoulders above anything that has come before. IMO there have not been any other quantized/distilled/etc models as good at this size. It would not exist without the original R1 model work.
