When it comes to negotiating a new job, they are absolutely not something you want to underplay. Bring it up and talk about it, and the challenges you faced creating it. I feel like being able to talk about why you created something, and the challenges you faced, along with what you learned is a huge plus. Maybe I'm more old-school with this thinking, but when it comes to someone that is more senior and can provide useful knowledge to your team, I'd want this person over someone that was talking about the latest tech, but didn't have real experience to discuss in depth. To any recruiters, am I out of touch with this thinking?

I am at the beginning stages of looking elsewhere, because of some very poor choices made that disregarded my advice. I have extreme impostor syndrome because I have only helped juniors, but have never worked in a professional capacity with anyone that had more knowledge than myself. That isn't a flex, I wish I had mentors in a professional environment, but I never did. I have learned a ton on my own, and have worked with others that moved on to better careers. I was around at the beginning stages of the company, and have gained a lot of freedom like taking time off to watch my son when he's sick, or if I need to see a doctor. I have built on top of CMS software (Umbraco/.NET) and have figured out how to keep resources below what is recommended, and love what I do, but am being given the "opportunity" and direction from the President to leave the company because my salary can't be covered any longer. Not meant to tell a sob story, just genuinely looking for advice on finding something that will strike my interest and I can contribute to. I have been with this company for almost 18 years, and built it from nothing with a weird technology, into something that a lot of medical, insurance, banking, and law firms depend on.

Any advice is truly appreciated, as I was taken by surprise, but also know that I can achieve far more than what I currently practice. I spend late nights learning for fun, even at 45 years old.
I say let that money pay for the public transportation and make that free.
> Stay out of the [Tesla] ecosystem, lots of other good EVs to pick from (Hyundai Ioniq 6, for example)

I'd also step back and ask if a PHEV would be sufficient. I don't think that there is any time in the last 3 years that I've driven more in one day than the EV mode range of a Prius Prime or RAV4 Prime which means it would essentially be an EV for me, and they have great reliability reputations.

Maybe I'll drive more longer trips when I retire (hopefully within the next year or so) and then would have to use the ICE engine. A Prius Prime gets over 50 mpg when using the ICE so although the energy cost for such a trip would be higher than for a pure EV it would't be a lot higher (100 miles in ICE mode would be about $5 more than 100 miles in an EV at my typical gas and electricity costs).
What do you use LLMs for at rev? And separate question, how does your diarization compare to deepgram or assembly AI.
> A Pentium 233MMX is capable of DVD playback

No they aren't. DVD playback on early systems was hardware based using an MPEG2 decoder (often included on the sound card that came packed in with the DVD drive, or on some video cards or dedicated MPEG decoder cards)

Software playback of DVD's on a Pentium MMX at 233mhz is going to be limited to single digit framerates, especially if you are trying to decode Dolby Digital or DTS audio as well

A Gentle Intro to LLMs for Platform Engineers
Can we detect the biosphere of any planet, or only those that pass in front of a star?

I'm wondering if we could detect radio transmissions from a planet which we otherwise couldn't detect?
Possibly me too. I haven't had a lot of VR experience, but what I have had was, remarkably, pretty fine ( > 30 mins each time).

I've made a huge list of games that I've played over the years with notes on whether or not they make me motion sick.

Spyro the Dragon was my first ever video game, and I played that series for years. Came back to it a few years ago and I could only last about 20 minutes before feeling sick for the rest of the day.

The Airboat scene in HL2 made me motion sick at the time, but the whole game does now.

These days it's very hit and miss, and new 3D games are something of a risk. E.g:

- NieR:Automata (motion blur off), fine. NieR:Replicant (motion blur off), 20 mins tops.

- Portal 2, Overwatch, Control, Talos Principle(s), default settings, fine.

- Bioshock, back then and now, 20 mins tops.

- Spyro Remastered, default settings, insta puke, less than 20 mins. Super Mario Odyssey, fine. BoTW/ToTK, fine.

- Spyro un-remastered, I can watch on stream (lounge room TV) for ~15 mins before feeling ill. 1 hour if I'm watching it on an iPad.

- Oblivion c2009, fine. Skyrim c2013, couldn't last 10 minutes.

The list goes on. I watch all these sorts of threads with enormous interest so I can figure out exactly how to enjoy 3D video games again without a literally sickening trial-and-error experiment.
Such an easy point, and yet the parent posters dont get it...
There is a huge amount of overlap, in that most modern password hashes can be used and are sort of fundamentally based on the idea of a string KDF. The big differences are, as you can see here, that a string or password KDF will take an arbitrarily long string, and that a KDF produces some specific raw random output, and a password hash produces a verifier string (the raw random hash, plus usually some metadata encoded some way; for bcrypt, that's the algorithm and cost and salt, for instance).
May sound like a conspiracy theory, but NVIDIA and a whole lot of AI startups have a strong vested interest to not seek+publish such findings.

If I don’t need a huge model and GPU, then AI is little more than an open source program running on an idle PC.

I feel like AI was NVIDIA’s lifeboat as GPU mining waned. Don’t see anything after that in the near future.

No it is more like thinking that my prescribed way of doing stuff must be the way things work in general because it works for me. But you give instructions specifically about everything you did but the person you give them to isn't your exact height or can't read your language, so you can easily assume now that they just don't get it. But with these LLMs you also get this bias hidden from you as you inch closer to the solution at every turn. The result seems "obvious" but the outcomes were never guaranteed and will most likely be different for someone else if one thing at point is different.
An EV is objectively not worse for the environment. And virtually all vehicles contain large amounts of plastic (eg PVC). I recently heard model year 2024 vehicles are ~30% plastic by weight.

I’d wait until somebody can clearly state what the demonstrated harms of microplastics are before you conclude that there’s nothing you can do. An EV reduces emissions that we KNOW are bad, and over their lifetimes, the reduction is huge compared to an ICE vehicle. If you’re worried, though, walk or bike whenever you can.

Biking to grocery store is not an option for you, but you can still make a difference if you think about it. Eg, go to the store less frequently. Switch to a chest freezer for perishables. And so on. Draw up an energy budget and do the math.

There is a cost to human life, sure. But you can make it work if you really care enough. You are definitely not screwed.

As noted, ordinary maps may suffer (for example, in epidemiology)from the impact of a very non-uniform population density. A disease cluster then MAY be a cluster, or it may be ordinary disease rates in a highly populated area. In my limited experience a cartogram is a deliberate distortion of the SHAPE of a map region in order to make some property (say, population DENSITY) constant everywhere in the new region. Then anomalies jump out. Done with care, one can do careful statistics within the cartogram and then back-transform to get statistics for the original map area.

Thanks for sharing, this is actually pretty cool. I could see how this could be a really flexible tool for power users. How'd you get into developing it? Were you trying to solve a specific problem you ran into?
The last three times I called the police they made it clear they were only going to take a report so I could give it to insurance. One time the burglar was still inside (we let the police know this) and we watched the cop checked the door (locked) and left. We then watched the burglar walk into the room with the DVR and our cameras went out. The next day the dvr was gone so we couldn't even hold the cops accountable.

Another time we put up wanted posters, a couple of people ID'd him (they told us where he was squatting but didn't know his name) after a week of calls the cops finally go to check it out but by that point he'd left.

Anyway that's a long way of saying unless a third party needs a police report I don't bother wasting my time reporting anything.
Amazing. That offer (and website in general) look and sound identical to what the current administration is proposing.
This is how it should be. Consolidating egg production is a bane on society. It might make the profit cheaper but it also greatly increases the opportunity for cross contamination to occur due to the distances they have to travel. I always buy locally sourced.

I am not seeped in all the cases you mention here. You have not drawn a picture for me though to see that all of these are the same issue and that should all be treated the same way rather than be dealt with individually.

I really don't see how. When students are first exposed to computer programming, it might make sense to start with toy / compact languages that don't have any real-world use. But assembly is not the first language you're supposed to learn!

It's very utilitarian and most commonly just used for debugging and reverse engineering. So why would you waste time on the assembly language of a long-obsolete platform?

Plus, the best way to learn assembly is to experiment. Write some code in your favorite language and look at the intermediate assembler output, or peek under the hood with objdump or gdb. Try to make changes and see what happens. Yes, you can do that with an emulator of a vintage computer, but it's going to be harder. You need to learn the architecture of that computer, including all the hardware and ROM facilities the assembly is interacting with to do something as simple as putting text on the screen... and none of this is going to be even remotely applicable to Linux (or Windows) on x86-64.
> The rule of law died Jan 20

This kind of hyperbole isn’t helpful when the outgoing President hands out pardons like they were coupons, nor when the President can’t remember signing EOs and is known to have limited mental faculties for the past few years, all while being shielded by his inner circle. I mean the Constitution is pretty specific about a President not fit to do their job.

If you had said “the rule of law stayed dead on Jan 20th” I might disagree but it’s at least a defensible opinion.
So we shouldn’t be concerned about random subway murders cause of car accidents? What?

As a NYC resident and white man, I found the subway broadly safe from _violent_ crime. My female and/or asian friends had significantly worse experiences: some were grabbed, others followed, some verbally harassed. It's not a dystopian nightmare — at the end of the day everyone just has somewhere to be — but regular ridership (particularly in Brooklyn and Queens) increments the bad experience counter regularly.

> because they are always less effective than private enterprises.

I think this is one of those ideas that has been spouted for so long that we don't really stop to think about whether it is true. Private and public entities (and employees) certainly have different incentives, but they also have different mandates, and I've certainly known plenty of inefficient private enterprises and efficient public ones. Do you have any way of verifying or proving this idea that you can share?

Tesla is a fraud just short of Enron. (Enron was a complete fabrication. Tesla is a real company with fabricated valuation.) The valuation is based on hand wavey gibberish. The company has repeatedly sold consumers products that don’t exist. The concepts of duty of care, loyalty, and obedience are foreign concepts to the owner of the company.

In addition to be a good starting point for programming, the 8-bit micros are also a good way to begin learning about the hardware side of microprocessor systems, since the external stuff (memory chips, etc.) was correspondingly simpler as well. And without pipelining, you can form a more straightforward mental model of what the system is actually doing.

For me, it was Z80, just because Radio Shack had a book on it. I never actually built or programmed a Z80 system, but I still fall back on that knowledge when working with microcontrollers.
We should weigh the usefulness and the relative frequencies of dying, not singular anecdotes.

Figure, it was in a PDF that search engines had trouble scraping. I feel like FAA is burying this data on purpose because it looks terrible.

Reading deeper, on page 40 that has historical data, starting FY14 when this survey had been implemented and initial class hired, Academy Training Attrition appears to be much higher though all I can base this on is comparing bar graph sizes. So yes, this change to hiring process did impact staffing levels because academy attrition was higher.
Not just that but capital is attracted there as well to the point there is a glut of it which is probably where at least some of the political problems arise. They literally have more money than sense while innovators elsewhere can't get funding.
That's about 1 out of every 4 stations getting hit once a month with something. Millions of people take the subway almost daily. Sounds like the chances of being close enough to witness a crime, even if not directly victimized, are pretty high.

Then you have situations like the Jordan Neely episode which, though perhaps not "reported crimes", terrorize an entire car full of people.
I'm not sure someone intent on burning a person to death in public is going to be very deterred by the knowledge that cameras are recording their acts.
Murders happen on and off the subway. Some in cars! Some using cars! Most are horrible. Plenty include fire.

More people take the subway each day than total residents of some entire states. No one says “avoid Wyoming” over one murder, but it only has 500k people. The subway has millions.

That may be true, but you don’t have to rely on biking for “everything.” Some biking is better than no biking.

I live in a small college town a couple of miles from the college. I walk, run, or bike to work nearly every day. But I am not a purist about it. We have a snowstorm forecast for tomorrow so I am going to drive (my EV). Would it be better for the environment if I walked? Probably? Does one trip really make that much of a difference though? Probably not.

I think there are likely many many places where people can walk or bike to some of the things if not all of the things. People really should do that more (not the least reason because biking is wonderful). Biking to the grocery store is mostly impractical for me as it is many miles away. But that’s ok! I am doing other things.
