Sharepoint is like a big umbrella intranet/collaboration enterprise product. It's old, has a million sub-products, is heavily customizable, and is not really intended for normal users to actively do too much with beyond swap files. Onedrive is just microsoft branded dropbox or google drive. Since it's more focused and is a consumer-facing product, not really surprising that users prefer it. While I wouldn't call sharepoint deprecated per se, MS will probably continue to encourage larger and larger companies to just work out of onedrive.

> good referrals are really the only way to definitely get the job

Yeah, no. They're one factor in many. I've managed just fine throughout almost 4 decades of career without referrals.

I'm fairly OK with how that career turned out.

It has drawbacks. Some of my jobs were odd kinks in the career curve - though I did enjoy them. (Roughly, ESA -> Industrial Automation -> Consulting -> Startup -> Video Games -> FAANG. It is not the straightest path :)

Referrals are definitely a large plus (IIRC, the industry stats say about 1/3rd of job offers are internal referrals, even though they are far from 1/3 of the candidates).

They aren't the only way, though.
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. It actually only downloads at most 2 episodes per podcast at a time, but that's still not great for your use case. I do plan to add per-podcast settings in probably the release after next, so stay tuned for that!

First I've ever noticed this. I was little surprised it now has infinite tabs, did that come in with win11? I also noticed today that it has autocorrect, never noticed that before! I generally just use it as a clipboard for ascii text so it might be it's been like this forever.
If you use any of these be prepared for them taking down your websites the moment you pop up on their radar monitors, for example when you get traffic.

Actually, that applies to any server, (web)hosting, datacenter rack, internet connection, bank account, domain name. As soon as your provider (or the powers that be) notices you, for example a complaint or a government official email, they will take down your hosted system or connection. In 45 year of internet and datacenters I never ever saw an exception to this rule. Even Tor hidden servers are taken down.

If not now, soon. Gtk itself is entirely dropping X support. And it's not their fault of wayland is so incomplete but I do wish people like them, and distro managers, would realize that the waylands are not actually replacements for X yet. And they might not ever be if you're visually impaired.

Growing up on a farm here in the US, electric fence wire (I think 14ga, not 8ga) was always useful. I almost always had a roll & some snips nearby when doing any maintenance. You can fix some broken electric fence, re-bind the fence paneling to T-stakes, and if desperate cobble together some hinges and a latch for an impromptu gate, all with a simple roll of wire.

A foot or two of this wire and you can whip up a stabilizer for hanging any old tool off of a single nail in the barn. A couple feet of it makes a tie-down for any plant or tree branch, sometimes you don't even need a stake, the wire can be pushed deep enough and into a J shape underground that it'll often hold on its own.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/13/angela-rasmuss...

The claim that the location of spillover can be definitively localized within hundreds of meters from epidemiological data is core to the predominant theory of natural zoonotic origin, from an overlapping set of authors including Rasmussen.

Theories of a research accident almost never assume such localization is possible, not least because the earliest known cases weren't particularly close to the WIV. (If anyone's claiming otherwise, they've probably confused the WIV and Wuhan CDC.) So it's odd that you'd correctly note the near-impossibility of that localization, but then cite that as evidence against unnatural origin.

This makes me think you haven't looked much in the details yourself, and two of your four points above are explicitly arguments from authority. If you did look yourself, then I think your assessment might change.
Sorry if that's not clear - I was referring to phreeza's reply to your question and the link you had posted below it, which is as far as the discussion had gone at that time. The refractory period, and its role in suppressing reflections, is mentioned in the reference you provided a link to.

> Engineers are obsessed with 2% optimizations here, 5% optimizations there; unchecked, it will literally turn into an OCD outlet, all for things nobody in the non-tech world even notices, let alone asks about. Just let it go.

I absolutely disagree with you. If the world took more of those 5% optimisations here and there everything would be faster. I think more people should look at those 5% optimisations. In many cases they unlock knowledge that results in a 20% speed up later down the line. An example from my past - I was tasked with reducing the running speed of a one shot tool we were using at $JOB. It was taking about 15 minutes to run. I shaved off seconds here and there with some fine grained optimisations, and tens of seconds with some modernisation of some core libraries. Nothing earth shattering but improvements none the less. One day, I noticed a pattern was repeating and I was fixing an issue for the third time in a different place (searching a gigantic array of stuff for a specific entry). I took a step back and realised that if I replaced the mega list with a hash table it might fix every instance of this issue in our app. It was a massive change, touching pretty much every file. And all of a sudden our 15 minute runtime was under 30 seconds.

People used this tool every day, it was developed by a team of engineers wildly smarter than me. But it had grown and nobody really understood the impact of the growth. When it started that array was 30, 50 entries. On our project it was 300,000 and growing every day.

Not paying attention to these things causes decay and rot. Not every change should be taken, but more people should care.
Even if I am,
and I’ve been hired multiple times to be the “smartest person in the room” , I want to hire people who can outshine me because that means I can just delegate high level concepts and they can run with it so I can move on the other initiatives.

While doing that was half the reason that I got let go from my last job, I delegated the work I was doing to the person I hired and moved on to a newer initiative that was pulled, I still have no regrets.

I got a chance to put leading an impressive “AI” project on my resume and it helped me get my current much better job.

Before anyone starts groaning , it was a framework to do better intent based bots for online call centers (Amazon Connect and Lex). The perfect use case for it.
I am in technical diligence so I talk to companies going from start up to mid stage all the time (ie when they get bought or are getting a big investment). I've been doing it for six years now. My personal anecdotal observation is that companies now tell me it is much harder to hire for Ruby than for Python or Node back ends, for what that's worth.

I also, for whatever reason, seem to encounter more companies with "stuck on old version" tech debt on RoR more than on Python or Node. I'm not sure why this is.

Another ding against Nvidia for Linux desktop use is that only some distributions either make it easy to install and keep the proprietary drivers updated (e.g. Ubuntu) and/or ship variants with the proprietary drivers preinstalled (Mint, Pop!_OS, etc).

This isn’t a barrier for Linux veterans but it adds significant resistance for part-time users, even those that are technically inclined, compared to the “it just works” experience one gets with an Intel/AMD GPU under just about every Linux distro.

This came at a perfect time, then - you can cause each adjacent layer to be offset by half the layer height, to maximize the strength.

Annealing parts by baking them at the right temperature for a sufficient length of time is relatively easy to do. Printing at higher temperatures and slower speeds to ensure layers are melted together also results in higher strength parts.
Because even bad writers have fans.

Why involve banks in day-to-day financial transactions? The way debit transactions work is batshit insane. One of the reputable credit card providers is much better.

Not true. In Aider the patch produced by the LLM is sent to a second model that is just tasked with fixing the patch — it works wonders.
Hashes of the tarballs are recorded in the package-lock.json of downstream dependants, so recompressing the files in place will cause the hashes to change and break everyone. It has to be done at upload time.
Nope. Because I don't mean special hardware. I mean using normal hardware in advanced ways: like sharing mouse and keyboards between computers. Something that's worked perfectly in X for 20+ years but still doesn't really work with the waylands even if the wayland compositor in question supports libei (which most do not).

This is a bizarre take. First Deepseek no doubt is still using the same bloated Python ML packages as everyone else. Second since this is "open source" it's pretty clear that the big labs are just going to replicate this basically immediately and with their already massive compute advantages put models out that are extra OOM larger/better/etc/ than what Deepseek can possibly put out. Theres just no reason to think that e.g. a 10x increase in training efficiency does anything but increase the size of the next model generation by 10x.
Another aspect that reinforces your point is that the ATM push (and subsequent downfall) was not just bandwidth-motivated but also motivated by a belief that ATM's QoS guarantees were necessary. But it turned out that software improvements, notably MPLS to handle QoS, were all that was needed.
Considering the fact that current models were trained on top-notch books, those read and studied by the most brilliant engineers, the models are pretty dumb.

They are more like the thing which enabled computers to work with and digest text instead of just code. The fact that they can parrot pretty interesting relationships from the texts they've consumed kind of proofs that they are capable of statistically "understanding" what we're trying to talk with them about, so it's a pretty good interface.

But going back to the really valuable content of the books they've been trained on, they just don't understand it. There's other AI which needs to get created which can really learn the concepts taught in those books instead of just the words and the value of the proximities between them.

To learn that other missing part will require hardware just as uniquely powerful and flexible as what Nvidia has to offer. Those companies now optimizing for inference and LLM training will be good at it and have their market share, but they need to ensure that their entire stack is as capable of Nvidia's stack, if they also want to be part of future developments. I don't know if Tenstorrent or Groq are capable of doing this, but I doubt it.
Not so remarkable when you consider that tying up RAF planes and burning their fuel on missions like this reduces their combat capabilities.

Or, sometimes human beings act like human beings, even in a time of war. In addition to the whole notion of "rules of war," there are thousands of examples, but here is a famous one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce

> The truces were not unique to the Christmas period and reflected a mood of "live and let live", where infantry close together would stop fighting and fraternise, engaging in conversation. In some sectors, there were occasional ceasefires to allow soldiers to go between the lines and recover wounded or dead comrades; in others, there was a tacit agreement not to shoot while men rested, exercised or worked in view of the enemy.

People like you and me work at computers all day and start to think like computers and try to use "logic" to explain everything away. Fortunately, there are real people in the real world who are free of our burdens.

Oh, I don't know. In my current and previous job I was, frankly, amazed at the ronin-like attitude openly expressed by those new, young hires. I was nowhere near this radicalized, when I started my first 'real' job. Management is in for a rather rude awakening.
They even had a very Microsoft style rollout for it, where a huge modal for the chat bot would pop up and cover most of the page every single time you went to the docs, with no way to disable it. I tried it out with a very simple database sorting question, and got a completely wrong answer. I don't think I've used it since.
I had a similar experience with Google Photos where it merged the "profiles" of my two children. Like you, I tried separating them back out manually, with no real success. Ultimately, I turned the face identification feature off entirely (which has the effect of deleting all of the face data), and then turned it back on. It took a day or so for Google Photos to start re-indexing the photos in earnest, but that fixed the issue for me, and it was less work than the manual re-tagging that I had tried before.
Ok, but why is the burden on him to show that? Are they not interested in improving bandwidth and speed for their users?

The conclusion of this line of reasoning is to never make any change.

You can graduate from high school and leave your hometown, but the attitudes of high school remain in the office: the cliques, the cruelty, the in-groups and out-groups, the manipulation, the brown-nosing, the behind-the-back-shit-talking. The C students from your high school are now mid level managers above you and brought the mentality straight from there to the office.
I don't think that scratches the itch. The point is to hold people personally responsible for what their money is doing. Mutual funds should be risky business because they obfuscate important details from the person who's making the decision--that's not a recipe for markets that work well.

You have built a beautiful TUI, hats off. Having that said, however, if feels like a missed opportunity for this project to use an SQLAlchemy-based database backend over the more simplistic and widely supported ledger [1] format. While I understand that the your tool might not want to leverage the full complexity of a double-entry accounting system, as a friend of plain text accounting [2] I would have preferred a format that I can alter with existing tools, in order to be able to integrate _Bagels_ into an existing workflow.

Nevertheless, the TUI looks very clean and shows nicely how powerful the Textual application framework is.

The extension situation is already much worse in Wayland than in X11. In my X11 server there are about 25 extensions and only a handful are required for modern desktop functionality. Wayland already has well over a hundred extensions (protocols) and dozens of them have to be implemented by each compositor just to get basic stuff working.

Show HN: OmiAI – A highly opinionated AI SDK with auto-model selection
I missed the good old days when gpt-3.5 was the best model in the market. You had one library, one "framework" and one standard.

Now we have awesome models like R1 that rival o1 being 100x cheaper, gemini flash 8b with a 1m context length and support for basically every file type, then we have sonnet 3.5 that peaks at coding tasks!

Rather than using a framework that makes it easy to switch models and manage schemas, I built a tool that automatically combined the best of all models with a suite of powerful tools like AI scrapers, OCR, web search, etc

How it works? On each execution the tool will first auto-select the best model based on your prompt objective then it will tool call the relevant tools if required for more context or to perform a specific action. Then it will automatically decide to run all this through a reasoning model (R1) depending on the complexity of the prompt. Lastly, it will run all outputs combined on the auto-selected LLM and return the response.

View all models available which in my opinion are some of the best in the market right now: https://github.com/JigsawStack/omiai/blob/94ea56a9f953b4d229...

View the repo here: https://github.com/JigsawStack/omiai

Tech used:
- Vercel's AI SDK as the underlying framework
- JigsawStack for the AI tools and embedding model

Note: I built this in 24 hours, so It's still pretty early and expect breaking changes

The goal is to keep it opinionated meaning never giving the ability to pick models and limit the amount of configurations/tools. We'll only replace models with better ones and are unlikely to add. Your opinions matter too, so if you think something can be made even simpler or a config setting needs to be added, feel free to open a discussion/pr and we can take it from there!
In my experience long time contractors will absolutely "quiet quit" if put into the same catch-22 situations that push employees to do this.

The main difference at least in my region is that if you're a contractor then it's much quicker for you to quit and find a better job so the incentive to stay isn't as strong. In other words, tech workers who become contractors here usually are better contributors and have an easier time finding good offers.
It's pretty clear that the reasoning models are using mass amounts of synthetic data so it's not a bottleneck.
