I don’t think that’s true. There just aren’t enough top performing candidates graduating every year who pass their hiring bar. I was taking to a hiring manager here in Australia about 15 years ago at a house party. She said they literally call on the phone every woman who graduates from a CS program in Australia to personally invite them to come in and interview. At least a few years ago, they couldn’t get enough applicants.

This felt useful to me:

> Make sure you are talking to people and doing something. The logic of “move fast and break things,” like the logic of all coups, is to gain quick dramatic successes that deter and demoralize and create the impression of inevitability. Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.

That's also a good point, electricity prices are much lower in China than in the US and Europe.

BYD will most likely sell more battery only EVs than Tesla this year and appear to have no problem scaling, they also sell cars that fit the majority of market segments.

Maybe Tesla's strategy of only 3 models and betting on robotaxis is the right one, but they have a serious risk of falling behind.

Personal pet peeves:

* They hide the queries. When your DB or cloud service gives you a printout of your 10 slowest queries, you then have to figure out what object code that relates to. And then is there even a way to fix it, or are you stuck with the ORM?

* LINQ-specific: Love the tech, but it's unclear whether my .wheres() are being sent upstream properly, or if I'm downloading the whole database and filtering it in memory.

* Another LINQ one: we wanted to do "INSERT IF NOT EXISTS" but could not.

* Back in Java land, magic like that tends to be incompatible with basic hygiene like consting all your class fields. Frameworks like being able to construct a Foo in an invalid state, and then perform a bunch of mutations until it's in a good state.

* They make it near impossible to reason about transaction states. If I call two methods under the same open db context, what side-effects can leak out? If I try to do an UPDATE ... SET x = x + 1, that will always increment correctly in SQL. But if read x from an ORM object and write back x + 1, that looks like I'm just writing a constant, right?

* Extra magic: if you've read a class from the db, pass it around, and then modify a field in that class, will that perform a db update: now? later? never?

But just in general, I want to look at the data, play with queries in a repl environment until they look right, and then use directly in the code without needing to translate from high-level&declarative down into imperative loops, sets and gets.
I have tried to quit social media many times, but I end up using something again after a few weeks. It usually happens when I'm too tired to think about anything like games, or to read an article, or when I have a lot of waiting time without a lot of entertainment (eg airports). I wonder what do you do during those times?

How tokens per second do you get typically? I rent a Hetzner server with EPYC 48-core 9454P, but it's got only 256GB. A typical infer speed is in ballpark of ~6 tokens/second with llama.cpp. Memory is some DDR5 type. I think I have the entire machine for myself as a dedicated server on a rack somewhere but I don't know enough about hosting to say for certainty.

I have to run the, uh, "crispier" very compressed version because otherwise it'll spill into swap. I use the 212GB .gguf one from Unsloth's page, with a name that I can't remember on top of my head but I think it was the largest they made using their specialized quantization for llama.cpp. Jpeggified weights. Actually I guess llama.cpp quantization is a bit closer analogy to the reducing number of colors rather than jpeg-style compression crispiness? Gif had reduced colors (256) IIRC. Heavily gif-like compressed artificial brains. Gifbrained model.

Just like you, I use it for tons of other things that have nothing to do with AI, it just happened to be convenient that Deepseek-R1 came out and just about barely is able to run it on this thing, with enough quality to be coherent. My use otherwise is mostly hosting game servers for my friend groups or other random CPU-heavy projects.

I haven't investigated myself but I've noticed in passing: There is a person on llama.cpp and in /r/localllama who is working on specialized CPU-optimized Deepseek-R1 code, and saw them asking for an EPYC machine for testing, with specific request for a certain configuration. IIRC also said that the optimized version needs new quants to get the speeeds. So maybe this particular model will get some speedup if that effort succeeds.

Is that the only question that an active military ATC would very likely get points for?

I don't think you can take questions in isolation. Active military ATC would likely pick up full or close to full points on several other questions like recent unemployment (#26), expressing views (#27), formal training (#30), formal suggestions (#36), knowledge of job (#46) and probably coursework (#54).
My intention was to explain how to identify what could be causing the issue, not to give any indication that I think this is acceptable. Unfortunately like you point out, sometimes you _really_ do have to deal with a website behind an over sensitive WAF, in which case the steps I provided can be helpful.
I have come to understand that "no politics"/"just politics" means no election campaign talk.

As almost everything that is personal is in some way political (when taking the meaning "what strategy to use for ruling over a city") even the discussion of what politics is can kill discussions. (Like it seems to have happened in your example.)

So my conclusion is you cannot separate "personal" and "political" into completely disjoint categories.

The rule seems to be in place to make discussions not veer off in direction of which policies to apply/to be in favor of which particular politicians (which is nowadays the biggest taboo for a corporate LLM).
All you need to know about ProtoBuf
Obligatory: I Am Not A Lawyer, or a tax professional, or any kind of professional. None of the below is professional advice, merely lessons I have learned from my personal experience.

Well, I didn't flee the United States exactly, but I did move to Finland in what some would consider a hasty move.

It turned out to be a great decision in every regard except, of course, financially. I've probably left something on the order of $500,000 of pretax income on the table and counting at over $100,000 a year, as I moved right after completing a top university undergrad in mathematics and electrical engineering. Salaries in tech really are much lower in most other countries, even the relatively well off ones like Finland, so you need to ask yourself whether you're genuinely willing to leave so much money on the table first.

Another thing to keep in mind is that, due to US tax law, you will essentially never be able to invest in e.g. an index fund again. You should walk into this assuming your Roth IRA, 401k, etc. will all be essentially frozen at their current values, and that the country you move to will not grant them any special privileges. Nor will the US grant any special privileges to any requirement or investment accounts held in the other country. Sufficiently sophisticated investors may be able to get around this, but frankly if you're that good at this stuff you should probably become a corporate lawyer or something.

You may incur serious issues if you, for example, attempt to mortgage a new home in your new home. If you're fine living with one checking account and one full time job for life, forgoing any interest in entrepreneurship whatsoever, and I repeat at much lower wages than what you currently earn, you can probably avoid the dozens to hundreds of hours of research this will all entail. Or, you can throw money at the problem and eventually smart well-remunerated individuals will figure it all out for you. But walk into this with open eyes as to what it actually means in the worst case scenario.

If that's all okay with you, the good news is that most issues can be dealt with eventually if you leave with enough money and live frugally enough to get all the paperwork out of the way. I would strongly advise you to pick a handful of countries you're interested and research the passport and visa process, and to try to get that sorted out well before you actually make the move. This is not what I did, and ultimately I'm happy with my decision, but I was in very unusual personal circumstances and had to move decisively at the time or risk losing something very dear to me.

TL;DR: Have a lot of money. Expect to lose all of it slowly over the years and never make it back. Plan the visa/passport thoroughly. Never let it escape your conscious until everything is totally squared away. Expect the process to take up 5 to 10 years of your adult life before that happens.
Cy_borg: A Nano-infested doomsday RPG
In democratic countries, civil servants aren't supposed to be changed after each elections, while they have their individual opinions they know their duty and follow the orders that come from the political power (and should they not obey to the order from above, there are disciplinary sanctions that can be leveraged against them).

And it's not some theoretical idea, in all Western democracies, every civil servant that has been in place for long enough has seen governments from multiple political sides. That's how it works.

Using illegal means to purge the institutions from undesired people is not something that happens in a democracy, this is unprecedented in the West since Gleichschaltung.

There are so many devices that support mp3. My 15 year old car plays CDs with hundreds of mp3s with zero issues. I still have somewhere a mobile CD mp3 player that will work with both new files and those I harvested 20 years ago.

There is surprisingly still some mp3 releases online, including content for kids which for me was mp3 only so far.

I have a lot of FLACs but with years it makes more and more sense to me to keep it unified.
Another example is to make your recruiting contextual. How would you rate two candidate - one that grew up dirt poor and when to the worst public schools but gets 90% on your test, vs one that went to the best private schools and got 95%?

You can also do things to remove stereotypes about your industry - "I'm not going to work in industry X because it's all posh people."

Feedback as someone who didn't know anything about Origami ...

I jumped directly into the motion comic and was quickly immersed into the terminal, syntax and command examples ... without first being told WHAT is Origami in the first place and why were are doing the various steps being shown in the terminal, leading up to what goal/result.

Had to back track, go to the Origami website and read this subtitle to make sense of it ...

Microsoft Word worked pretty well in Wine the last time I tried it, I wouldn't doubt rest of the Office apps worked fine as well.
Only skimming the headlines is dishonest. Read the actual threads.
Currently I use Apple because I bundle it with other Apple stuff. Plus on top of those features I can also sync my own mp3 collection and use that from wherever (in theory, in practice the sync is partially successful, which is somewhat frustrating).
I'm not entirely clear who you're mocking here; Boeing, trying to understand why SpaceX and China are doing well? If so, we're on the same page.
Honestly, I would assert. Returning an error code just gives users another thing to ignore, and incorrectly use the return value (if implemented like C, where you usually get a single internet back, treating the error code as a hash would be even worse!)

Apps crashing with assets is awfully, but at least it screams at your when you failed to read the docs, target than incorrectly storing users data for the rest of time.
To my experience this is only true if you totally max yourself out when exercising. An alternative is to do light (ish) exercise every day. Makes getting totally ripped pretty much impossible, but it makes staying fit easy, because it's easy to build a habit around and it's easy to make fun.
I did lookup the BTC transaction fee, but it looks like 15 USD was completely wrong .. my bad.

Checking now :

https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_f...

This says, afaict, the average BTC transaction cost today is $1:40 USD

The 5yr chart shows it spiking at $128 in April 2024.

If BTC transactions reliably cost 15c per transaction, it might make for a viable electronic money... but that is clearly not the case, so I think my point stands.
no judgment on you in particular, but i’m not a fan of this thought process. I believe it’s a major cause for why americans (statistically) are so obese. and i say this as an american that lives in a city but has family in the suburbs.

running errands with your own two feet every day by walking, cycling, etc keeps people healthy and lean. this country has a major car problem. it’s sad.

of course one can go to the gym to stay lean and healthy, but that’s even more time consuming than stopping by the store for 5 minutes on the way home, and it requires extreme motivation. Hardly an improvement i’d say.
> I'm not saying that Hamas is good by saying that Israel is also bad, both are bad, but only one of them came there with the goal to steal the land of the people living there.

If you mean Hamas was founded with the goal of stealing the land (by destroying Israel), then yes.

But it's not correct historically to talk about Jews coming to Israel to "steal" the land - the majority before the founding of Israel came as refugees looking for a place they wouldn't be oppressed, and came mostly legally as immigrants, legally buying the land, not "stealing" anything.

The majority immediately after Israel's founding were either a) the remaining European Jews that had been rounded up in concentration camps but hadn't been killed by the Holocaust, and that spent a few years in displaced persons camps with nowhere to go, until the UN collectively voted to give them a tiny patch of land in Israel, or b) Jews ethnically cleansed from the Arab world.
Early gaming had such a great mix of limitations and creativity. In a way I miss it
This is precisely why the programs got so weird.

It is, and always was, illegal to hire or not hire someone based on their race (or other protected class). You cannot legally just use quotas. At the same time, the EEOC will find a way to sue you if you are a large company with a lower proportion of minority employees than population. So companies had to get creative.

Trump EEOC will not do that. It's questionable if the EEOC even has the power to do that anymore after recent supreme court decisions that weaken regulators in general.

The pandemic was discovered by ordinary doctors in Wuhan who noticed the unusually high volume of sick and dying patients. Only then were specialists engaged to identify the cause, and the viral genome was first published by Zhang Yong-Zhen in Shanghai. The WIV isn't known to have played any role in this.

Perhaps the WIV secretly discovered the new virus by more sophisticated means before those doctors did. There's no evidence for this, but maybe. There is no possibility that a Wuhan-level outbreak occurred in a different city first, though. China keeps tight control of their mass media, but mortality on that level is impossible to conceal. Do you not remember 2020? The coffin shortages? So your implication that the WIV's presence somehow caused the first cases in a natural pandemic to get ascertained in Wuhan just doesn't make sense.

This topic is unfortunately politicized, and you're not helping. I think it would be helpful to spend more timing studying the scientific evidence, and less time speculating over the motivations of one's perceived ideological opponents.
So, I’ll admit that I’m not a fan of multiple dispatch a la Julia. I much prefer typeclasses and explicit union types. Also, I found Julia is really the worst of both worlds of garbage collected languages and manual memory management because it ostensibly has a garbage collector but you find yourself basic preallocating memory or faffing around with StaticArrays trying to figure out why memory isn’t being allocated (often it comes down to some type instability nonsense because the type system built around multiple dispatch can’t correctly type the program). At this point I’d rather just use C++ or Rust than Julia, I’m getting annoyed just thinking about the nonsense I used to deal with.

Also, IIRC, it’s not terribly difficult to use flax with equinox. It’s just a matter of storing the weight dict and model function in an equinox module. Filter_jit will correctly recognize the weights as a dynamic variable and the flax model as a static variable.
The best way is to make sure you are actually trading or making predictions where you lose if you are deeply wrong.

Outrage about "news" is usually from the kind of people who get upset about desriptions of reality and things like that. They usually read the NYT or the Atlantic and never trade or predict and they don't realize it is useless, wrong or just way to late.

A great advice. I also put emphasis on a fact that one doesn’t have to be good at something to enjoy it OR need to make money when they’re good at it. Both might be trap.
That's totally understandable and I don't blame them. However since they did state they hoped it would be resolved I thought they (or anyone in a similar situation) might at least want to know how to diagnose any potential cause that you have some control over.

I’m not sure compelling & bountiful AI films and interest in older films are mutually exclusive.

A flood of high quality AI content might devalue it as it becomes too normal, familiar or expected. In a strange way, this might reinvigorate interest in back catalogs.

Also, some content is truly timeless regardless of its production quality. Our kids have the world’s content at their disposal and their favorite is currently Tom & Jerry episodes from the 1960s. Go figure.

That just means the variable isn't named correctly, not that it needs a comment. Just name it 'time_seconds" or whatever and save yourself the extraneous typing.

I tend to be a minimalist when writing comments. If I have to write out a comment to describe what I'm doing (like "advance 1 simulated second"), then I have failed at writing clear code. Sometimes I will write a comment to explain why I am doing something, if it's not clear (like "manually advance time to work around frobbing bug in foobar").

Comments add to your maintenance burden. Writing clearer code can often reduce that burden.
