We think GD owns the domain. If they are advice a price, and that price was the bid price, isn't it funny that they are rejecting our bid to somehow indicate that we should pay more.

Thats the scam. They are acting both as broker and seller without transparently revealing the relationship.

It is like, you go to buy a house, the broker says the advertised price is 2 million, i recommend paying 3.2 million and then you realise the broker was the owner of the house.

> Otherwise, in my opinion, a candidate pool that is 95% some demographic shows a severe deficiency in the ability to attract candidates.

If the job in question is 95% one gender it does not at all show a deficiency in attracting candidates. 87% of pharmeceutical technicans are women (in the uk) as per: https://careersmart.org.uk/occupations/equality/which-jobs-d...

If I'm interviewing for pharmaceutical technicians, and my goals is to give all candidates equal opportunity for employment, why would I expect something vastly different from 87% women? If the candidate pool for pharmaceutical technicians was somehow 50/50, then it'd indicate a severe deficiency in attracting female candidates on account of the massive underrepresentation relative to the workforce of pharmaceutical technicians.
IMHO what you should be doing is building stuff to show off.

More great ideas will flow out of that activity.

As for missed the boat, how do you mean? We remain in early days!

Finally, try to avoid making your own reality. You write as if you know the future, and none of us do!

And even when we are right, how we respond to that future really matters!

You could sulk in gloom

You could be building things and or showing them off.

It is that showing off that nets good new opportunities.

I have worked on online recommender systems. (Here, “online” means the model is being continuously updated from user interactions.)

Overfitting is typically not a concern. You train on the last N days of user interactions, and because of the volume of data there isn’t time for the model to see an interaction twice.

So you don’t need a test set. Your performance metrics may go up or down in a day depending on data drift.

Because "[y]our view" is dangerously naïve about human nature, and might have been serviceable in earlier times but less likely to be so now?
The difference is that it is never about policy with MAGA voters. It’s about Trump.

You see how quickly MAGA voters went from “America first. No foreign entanglements” to “let’s send troops to the Middle East to clear out Gaza” as soon as Trump said we should do so?

Anytime that Trump hasn’t been on the ballot since 2018, Trump voters stayed home.

Presidents have always been about personality and not policy. Biden and Bush I being the exception in my lifetime - or at least since Reagan.
"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized.

Aside from the fact that I'm sure you can find such crimes ...

Prosecutors have the power to ask 2 years incarceration for jaywalking, without proof, 10 years for ignoring a stop sign and having not paying because the state has a wrong address for them and can let someone who empties a machine gun into a kindergarten walk free. But why go so far as to actually convict them of anything?

An IRS agent (and every state has them, not just the Federal government) could just accuse anyone of tax fraud 9 years ago, arrest, then deny bail (if the accusation is tax fraud it is the IRS agent that gets to approve or deny bail, not a judge), and then think about what they'll do next, for 3 years. They also have the power to block any particular bank account US-wide, or all bank accounts "that benefit an individual", so they can damage the person's family too.

No worries, after those 3 years, those now freshly declared innocent people will have to be paid 20 or so dollars per day to make it all alright (technically they don't, as they would not even be innocent, as the IRS does not need a conviction to declare you a criminal, but that's kicking someone hard in the nuts after incarcerating them for 3 years).

None of this requires even a single judicial decision, just an executive on your side. And Trump does NOT have the power to grant pardons over any non-federal matter (which is pretty ironic since part of the reason presidential pardons exist, is to prevent state or local governments from using state justice systems to influence the Federal government)

In my experience as a 8 year investor in Tesla none of those sites have any meaningful discourse.

Your analysis would be better if it tracked individual users' sentiment over time. That might actually be a signal you could trade on.

> Scala Play webapp

I feel like the biggest misstep that the Scala ecosystem and Typesafe/Lightbend did was that they didn't invest more in Play Framework. 10 or 12 years ago, Play had a lot of energy and momentum, and it's a kind of thing that has broad enterprise/start up appeal. But focus was always more on Akka and what seemed like really niche architecture astronaut stuff like Actors and Actor System Clusters and Event Sourcing etc, rather than getting the basics to be super ergonomic or productive.

If they had keep just making Play Framework better and better and focusing on the practical problems that every web service faces, they could be in a similar great position as Laravel is in today or any of the many Rails/Laravel consultancies.

Hey I'm curious what your thoughts are on whether you need a full blown agent that moves the mouse and clicks to extract contents from webpages or a more simplistic tool that can just scrape pages + take screenshots and pass it through an LLM is generally pretty effective?

I can see niches cases likes videos or animations being better understood by an agent though.
The ones I throw that do well: carrot, cabbage, potatoes, mushrooms, leaks, corn, eggs, several types of meat. When I was a student, I used to throw in cans of cream of mushroom etc, but I don't eat canned food anymore.

The ones I take out after boiling for a while: onions, bell peppers, meat bones.

Ones that are kinda okay: beans of various sort (become too soft, yet don't disintegrate fast enough, and collect at the bottom of pot so difficult to take out), cooked rice.

Definitely bad: noodles.
I don't think people become journalists with that mindset.

Siddhartha – I highly recommend doing some background reading to get the most out of it. Everything in the book is a metaphor.

We tried Gemini 2.0 and it's good at bug reporting
Today we added Gemini 2.0 to our web debugger (jam.dev) to let it analyze the browser session and DevTools and write up a bug report when there's an error.

It even writes repro steps (and adds timestamps to link each repro step to the exact moment in the session recording playback). Plus, it's a lot more concise than most people reporting bugs, so engineers can understand immediately what is going on without having to read a lot of text or decipher a confusing ticket :)

You can see the demo here: https://x.com/jamdotdev/status/1887523689518014891

One cool feature: once you `tab` to accept Gemini's AI-written bug report, it will log it right in your issue tracker (so you never have to open Jira to log a Jira again). (We integrated with Jira, Linear, and 7 others)

Why Gemini 2.0? We initially chose Gemini because of its native ability to process videos (which other LLMs don’t have, so it would require a lot less pre-processing for us and avoid adding a small amount of latency). And then we enabled Gemini 2.0 while it was in experimental mode. It turns out Gemini 2.0 is pretty good at logging bugs. It's fully writing 27% of the early access users bug reports, which we are pretty happy to see.

You can try it out for yourself: jam.dev/ai I’d love to hear your thoughts, my email is dani@jam.dev – reach out anytime. We want to make this a lot more fully featured – and would love your input where you'd like to see this go.

Definitely we think humans have a major role to play in testing software, but compiling the debug logs and writing up the summary and repro steps for engineers seems like something AI excels at and people are a lot more imprecise at (and that imprecision causes a lot of wasted effort today on engineering teams).

By the way, we’re hiring engineers and if you're really into AI-powered devtools and debugging, would love to chat: jam.dev/careers
In the windows one, there was no fade. It drew black lines on top of the old lines, and remembered a queue of about n=10 or so generations.
Well, I agree that if you are using alternate means to achieve the same effect (or better!) and that's not recognized by the FIPS compliance then that can be painful.

My experience lies mostly in C and embedded applications, where the physical security was also in question and that is where the most of the effort to certify went. Software was relatively easy by using the right versions. So, maybe not just a certification, but non-fretting one.

And why the senate didn't convict trump in the second impeachment about the insurrection he fomented. There is reporting of Mitt Romney that several republican senators indicated they didn't vote to convict because they were afraid what his minions would do to them and their families. They also mentioned they didn't have the funds to pay for private security the way that Romney had been doing for some time.

There's a word for achieving political ends via violence or the threat of violence. We should've been using that word heavily then, and we should be using it heavily now.

Looking at your urlbox - pretty funny language around the quota system.

>What happens if I go over my quota?

>No need to worry - we won't cut off your service. We automatically upgrade you to the next tier so you benefit from volume discounts. See the pricing page for more details.

So... If I go over the quota you automatically charge me more? Hmm. I would expect to be rejected in this case.

There are no LLMs that reason, its an entirely different statistical process as compared to human reasoning.
Three-strikes-style rules like this make for easy decision-making, but they don’t make for good decision-making. They eliminate curiosity about the root problem, reject the reality of how humans learn (it is almost never linear), and usually end up backfiring catastrophically at some point. Compliance by fear does not make for open and healthy communities.

The fundamental attribution error makes us believe the problem must be that this kind of person is “not interested in listening to reason”, but I can tell you that the ones who aren’t interested in listening make that abundantly clear when you ask them to stop. They are not the ones I struggle with. The problem cases are those who act in good faith but have trouble regulating their emotions, infrequently enough to not be an obvious menace, but consistently enough that I recognise their names.
> And the entire ecosystem lacks maturity i.e. the majority of libraries I use are not at version 1.

I'm marginally bothered by the reluctance to bite the bullet and accept a 2.0 will happen in the future, but version numbers do not make for mature libraries. There are plenty of foundational libraries written in C keeping Linux desktops running that are permanent 0.x versions.

> Whereas from Scala you can just use any Java library e.g. Vertx, Spring almost all of which have commercial, enterprise support and continue to be proven time and time again.

I find that "wide and storied library ecosystem" can be a double edged sword: an old library can either be battle-tested, or just old (with cruft or poor design or implementation) and you can't always tell which it is ahead of time. This is true for libraries in any language, and the same thing will happen to Rust in 10 years.
This thread is interesting; so many tools and libraries referenced that I am not familiar with at all. I think some of us are writing very different languages.

I've used Scala my entire career at multiple companies, and Typelevel has been the default at all of them. I'm not even entirely sure where Scala ends and Cats begins, so it's hard to identify what's "fancy", let alone justify it. I do like IO, and monad transformers. I think neither of those are native. Flat code tends to be maintainable.

From my perspective, fully baked frameworks and ORMs are what's "fancy" (a readability nightmare). I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but Scala codebases that go hard on FP tend not to introduce these, which I appreciate. Pick your poison I guess.
And Moncton/Saint John/Fredericton all have pretty comparable prices.

Yes there are higher standards.

Here's a quick blurb from a law firm blog, notice the "acts at its peril" language which is not the standard for private citizens contracting together:

"Authority Issues. Contract awards and contract modifications may be made on behalf of the government only by duly appointed contracting officers acting within the limits of both available funding and their delegated authority. This public policy principle of limited authority is strongly supported in the law. To the extent that a company incurs costs based upon the directions or promises of government persons without this essential authority, the company does so at its financial risk. Moreover, the contractor has the responsibility to know the scope of authority of the government official with whom it deals, and acts at its peril."

Thank you for the compliment and advice, I will make my landing page more clear so that the value proposition goes unmissed.

My project clients have mostly been small businesses and entrepreneurs who have yet to establish their preferred methods of operating, and they have not balked at using Stripe for card payments or bank transfers. I had a handful of them asking for a way to check progress, make payments, etc.... which led to me building Momentum. Instead of just building a system for me to use and solve my own problem, I decided to open it up and make it available for others. I have only been creating software for just over two years (although I have a small amount of coding experience from when I was a teenager), all self taught so I have a lot of growing to do... especially when it comes to marketing.

That being said, it makes a lot of sense that medium/large companies would not be interested in a project dashboard or credit card payments now that you have pointed out those examples, I appreciate you sharing your experience with me so that I am able to grow and increase my awareness of markets and needs.

Thanks again for the replies to my post.

Best regards,

That is a pain with new guys on team that don’t want to spend time learning the code but rather rewrite it their way so they can understand it.

Only problem is that’s ultimately not polite to existing team and hopefully we can filter such people in hiring process but not always.
