Massive overhiring or not, it's the fact that many (skilled) engineers can't find a job. Many companies were shut off during the past few years and market became oversaturated over the night. Whether AI will help to correct the market creating more demand we will see but I wouldn't hold my breath. Many domain specific skills became a commodity.
The ask from every new grad to be assigned to ai development is unreasonable right now and they are probably hurting their careers by all going the same direction honestly. It’s a small fraction of our development efforts and we usually hire very senior for that sort of role. We still need people that can program for the day to day business needs and it’s a perfect starting role for a new grad yet almost all of them are asking for assignment to ai development.

I appreciate anyone that can utilise ai well but there’s just not enough core ai model development jobs for every new grad.
Pending me getting an understanding of what those advances were, maybe?

But making things smaller is different than making them more powerful, those are different categories of advancement.

If you've noticed, models of varying sizes seem to converge on a narrow window of capabilities even when separated by years of supposed advancement. This should probably raise red flags
oh nice! Thanks!!!
I definitely agree with you in the interim regarding junior developers. However, I do think we will eventually have the AI coding equivalent of CICD built into perhaps our IDE. Basically, when an AI generated some code to implement something, you chain out more AI queries to test it, modify it, check it for security vulnerabilities etc.

Now, the first response some folks may have is, how can you trust that the AI is good at security? Well, in this example, it only needs to be better than the junior developers at security to provide them with benefits/learning opportunities. We need to remember that the junior developers of today can also just as easily write insecure code.

You're mostly right, but production can only be stored for so long. If a young farmer produces more food than they consume, they can't save that specific food to eat when they retire. Likewise, investing in machinery to increase production later only goes so far without further reinvestment in the form of maintenance.

"Civil" supersonic aircraft is a designation, that's it. Like the other comment said - you can fly supersonic military jets with a civilian designation as long as the jet is deemed airworthy.

The real question is whether this will ever scale up to be a passenger aircraft. There are still a huge number of unsolved problems, many of which plagued the Concorde in the best of years. I don't think a scaled demonstrator is going to give people the confidence to denounce traditional passenger jets.
I'm far from an expert, but at least as it pertains to the SR-71, that craft was designed to use its afterburners most (all?) of the time[1].

Edit: Of course, the Blackbird had the benefit of refuelling mid-air.

>They have no real expenses either besides going out to eat, vacations and sports gambling.

Then you don't really "know" boomers. First, there are tax expenses on the pension/401k/Soc Sec. Rent or homeowner maintenance/taxes/insurance are huge, even without a mortgage. Transportation--how do they get to the eat-out place? Medicare does not cover dental or vision, and you can usually expect several crowns/root canals and eye cataracts during this period. Electric/natural gas/internet utilities, even water and trash collection, are all rising faster than inflation. Add in possible veterinary bills, and financial aid to adult children who need it, and you have plenty of expenses.

Not sure the comparison exactly tracks, because the teams need to be traveling.

Unless I misunderstood something, unless you'd be competing in two wildly different disciplines you'd be in one place. Unless they separate like 100m and 800m running :P

And for fans traveling along? Well...
I really don't care what you "admit". Now you're saying that it doesn't matter whether Prolog has predicates as first-class values, and yet you keep arguing that it does have them. I don't think you're here anymore to establish what statements about Prolog are true or false. You're here for a fight; I'm not here for a fight. Go fight yourself.

Not for you, but purely for the benefit of unfortunate souls who wander by and are confused what there is to argue about:

call_direct_and_indirect(IndirectCallTarget, Input, Result) :-
call_direct(Input, Intermediate), % first-class call
call(IndirectCallTarget, Intermediate, Result). % second-class call

This predicate calls some other predicate `call_direct/2` in a first-class way. It's a call.

It also calls some predicate identified by whatever the variable IndirectCallTarget may be bound to. This is a second-class call. It's frequently referred to as a "meta-call" to signal that it's not a first-class call. It's important to note that the value passed in for the IndirectCallTarget parameter is not a predicate. It cannot be, since there are no predicate values in Prolog. It's the name of a predicate. (Plus maybe a partial argument list; still not a predicate.) Since the thing being meta-called is not a predicate, it must be meta-called specially using the `call/N` builtin. The user has no realistic way of implementing the `call/N` builtin themselves.
No, because the market is an aggregate of opinions, so it’s entirely fair to say it’s “generally accepted.” That has nothing to do with whether something happens to be true or not.

It may provide a financial opportunity for someone who disagrees with that aggregated opinion though.
I like how they're like "Oh just use a 2FA app"

The password to my 2FA app is also in bitwarden. It's actually much more aggressive about session expiry.
USPTO says: https://www.copyright.gov/ai/
I get the desire to make the Bitwarden login more secure, but this is very likely to cause problems for users who don't have their email password memorized. 2FA already carries the burden of needing a backup if you lose your phone. This change means users will need to come up with an alternate way to log in to their email account. I'm not sure it's worth it.
While it's possible for conditions for life to emerge or sustain itself to be present beyond the habitable zone (e.g. there's likely a subsurface ocean orbiting the farthest plant from the Sun on Triton), afawk it is more probable that life forms in the habitable zone. That is the only one we have a data point for.
Go is an incomplete language masquerading as a simple one.

Sure it can, the namespace is just within your account.

Yeah. And Deepseek denies that a country (Taiwan) exists.

I'm not sure I can trust a model that has such a focused political agenda.

No. I don't think that's correct. The Concorde used its afterburners during take off and to get through the transonic region, where the drag is very heavy. Once you've gone past that the drag drops. At that point the Concorde can turn off the after burners.

An actual hardcore technical AI "psychology" program would actually be really cool. Could be a good onboarding for prompt engineering (if it still exists in 5 years).
Looking though that list:

All of the system fonts

Presumably the source included the TTF files from which the rasterized bitmap resources were automatically generated. Including the pre-rasterized bitmaps extracted from a previous release should not be a problem as typefaces and bitmap fonts are not subject to copyright in the US, vs vector font files which are eligible for copyright as computer programs.

The Bluetooth stack, except for a stub that will function in an emulator

This seems unfortunate, and looks to be one of the most critical gaps in the source release.

The STM peripheral library

You can get this from ST no problem, although it is only licensed for use on STM devices.

The voice codec

It should be feasible enough to replace this.

ARM CMSIS

The old versions with non-free licenses are still available from ARM or ST, and the recent versions are Apache licensed (but some porting of code might be required to use to newer versions).

For the Pebble 2 HR, the heart rate monitor driver

This was probably based on sample code from the vendor which could be replaced.
IDK, I was playing with Claude yesterday/this morning and before I hit the free tier context limit it managed to create a speech-to-phoneme VQ-VAE contraption with a sliding window for longer audio clips and some sort of "attention to capture relationships between neighboring windows" that I don't quite understand. That last part was due to a suggestion it provided where I was like "umm, ok..."

Seems pretty useful to me where I've read a bunch of papers on different variational autoencoder but never spent the time to learn the torch API or how to set up a project on the google.

In fact, it was so useful I was looking into paying for a subscription as I have a bunch of half-finished projects that could use some love.
Successful supersonic test! Amazing what humans can achieve.
Neat. Can I use aider with a local model running in LMStudio (or ollama)?

After a very quick reading of their pages it does not seem so.

Same for OIDC (and even traditional SAML SSO).

If every stolen or potentially stolen credential was billed to the breached provider at even $100/account*, SSO would become free so fast your head would spin.

Every credential in the provider's DB would be correctly seen as a liability.

* Arguably the number should be higher and contribute to a infosec response, detection, and preventative measures warchest. Though, ultimately, this would probably just enrich cybersecurity insurance firms.

Email is not a good second authentication factor anyway. I have 6 u2f tokens on my high priority digital accounts, as well as printed recovery codes in several places. Only 1-2 tokens ever actually travel with me, the others are kept safely in different locations.

Given that most people are cracked wide open if their password manager is compromised, I do feel it's sensible for a password manager to insist on 2FA, but the email chicken and egg problem is a concern for those migrating, and hopefully they backed up their recovery codes.
There are two things that make it hard to maintain.

One is choice of language, which is supposed to not matter because it's just an interview exercise where you can pick any language.

The other is the contortions around not using numbers.

Anything stemming from those two factors should not be held against the candidate. It definitely shouldn't be labeled as "scratching your own itch".
I do want a 192GB Mac Ultra, I'm hoping the Nvidia Digit achieves similar at $3,000. Sadly no specifications or benchmarks, so tokens/sec is just a guess at this point.
I think execs don’t see the problems we have with AI because you don’t need to be an expert to be an exec. I run into the edges of AI every day. There are things it is good at and things not so good at, and it varies from model to model and context to context (you can have two conversations with the same model, about the same thing, and get vastly different outputs; eg a test that uses different assertion patterns/libraries that are different from the rest of the project). As an “expert” or “highly skilled” person, I recognize these issues when I see them, but to a layman, it just looks like code.

Reminder: Dump your password manager database into cleartext backups regularly. Store them on encrypted media (eg. USB stick with FileVault, VeraCrypt, or similar)

Then you will not be totally screwed if your password manager does a rug pull against you such what Bitwarden is doing with this change.
sys$system brings tears to my eyes...
100% agree with this take. People are spouting economic fallacies, and it’s in part cause CEOs don't want the stock prices to fall too fast. Eventually people will widely realize this and by then the economic payoffs are still immense.

Except my wife and I can both have the same PIN, so it's still not a unique identifier.

A PIN is a password, not a username.

Yes. In other words, it's hard to impose a Tyranny on a society if Free Speech is allowed. Tyranny requires control over speech, to brainwash people into the belief that the Tyrants are "good for them", and so the first thing any Tyrannical Gov't wants to do is control speech.

Why even have something labelled "Unsafe" which is in fact safe ? Genuine question. What lead to this choice?
I have hidden recovery information in a few places on the internet - someone stumbling across it would not know what they are looking at, or what it's for. For example, you can hide the TOTP secret for an authenticator app, but it's useless unless you know what account and service it's for, and the associated master password.

Did you even look at the generated code? DeepSeek simply rewrote part of the inference code making use of SIMD instructions on wasm. It literally boils down to inserting `if defined __wasm_simd128__` at some places then rewritting the loops to do floating point operations two by two instead of one after the other (which is where the 2X claim comes from). This is very standard and mostly boilerplate.

Useful, sure, in that it saved some time in this particular case. But most of the AI-generated code I interact with is a hot unmaintainable mess of very verbose code, which I'd argue actually hurts the project in the long term.
That would be a great argument if I were refuting something about how many people like the color green.

Yep. If you look at the feedback thread before this version was released, they legitimately did listen to feedback from power users and made changes.

The first beta version had all of these annoying quirks, but then they added a bunch of settings (Compact Mode, Quick Copy Actions, Wide Mode, Disable Animations) that after you change them gives you a solid experience.
I feel uncomfortably called out by all three points. What tools should I be trying to see what you are?
Keep in mind the strix halo APU has a 256 bit wide memory bus and the Mac Ultra has a 1024 bit wide memory bus.

Here's hoping the Nvidia Digit (GB10 chip) has a 512 bit or 1024 bit wide interface, otherwise the Strix Halo will be the best you can do if you don't get the Mac Ultra.
That's called a dictionary attack and it's one rung above bruteforcing
Earth is the only environment in which we've found life, so it makes sense to first focus on other Earth-like planets. Your point is not without merit but taken to the extreme it would be like sending exploratory teams to the Mariana Trench to look for un-contacted human tribes.

We have incontrovertible evidence that water + carbon + time sometimes equals life. We have no evidence of any other non-carbon or non-water chemistries resulting in life so why wouldn't we focus on locations potentially rich in water and carbon first?
Try it out and see has worked for a lot of people. Not all fans are engineered with no wiggle room, and likely most would fail sooner, but on the other hand, an immersed computer is more likely to run continuously, and startup is harder than continuous running.

The oil likelu provides better heat disipation for all parts of the fan as well, which could also prolong life.

Otherwise, with better disipation, you can probably remove fans from many components, possibly swapping heatsinks in some cases.

Manifest – 1k Stars Later
I know that GitHub stars are mostly a vanity metric.

Nevertheless it gives some insight about if people have interest in what you do or not. It also goes together with feedback and exchanges that we collect from users.

Manifest started as an internal project in our digital agency to become an open source product helping developers to build their backends.

I am happy to share our progress today, it is really enjoyable to see a friendly community blossom and see what others are building on top of our product.

I am also surprised by the kindness of people in the open source community: we met many incredibly caring people that helped us and told us tips, their own challenges and their way of thinking.

As of today Manifest (https://github.com/mnfst/manifest) is still in its early days but we would love to see it grow. 1k stars is meaningless, as any number of stars if it doesn't fulfill your objectives. However it gives us strength to continue and think "yeah, there's people out there who care, or are at least curious about what we're doing right now".

Work is never over :)
Yeah, the problem is with clients from January or newer, and vaultwarden versions from before October.

It did lead me to discover my automatic update process wasn't actually rebooting the vaultwarden server.
> Luckily, people who run massive international corporations generally don't make decisions "out of spite" or they wouldn't have a massive international corporation in the first place.

Figuring out the optimal placement of CCDs on Plato's 24(+2) cameras. Due to the way CCDs are fabricated, their properties vary a bit, they are not identical. For example, they can vary how much light they can hold before they become saturated. Given the high cost of fabricating these CCDs, and the fact that for each camera 4 CCDs are used, and all these 4 have to share front-end electronics, it was prudent to optimize their grouping to we maximise the dynamic range we get. More dynamic range means that we can tell more about the planets we find with higher confidence.
