I've been struggling with some sort of variant of this.

I'm a prolific FOSS contributor, but a few years ago I switched to a very time-intensive day job and we had our first kid, and my FOSS contributions have waned a fair bit as a result. I still need to do tech stuff outside work to have an extra creative hobby outlet, so I've been doing HW/SW DIY projects like [1] and [2] that don't put me into the critical path of anyone. They're fun, and I open source them, but I'm permanently stressed and a bit guilt-ridden that compared to my previous spare-time output they're not really of much use for anyone else. My "personal software" dies alone at home, whereas previously it was used by millions.

I'm working on a DIY toy robot now[3], and I'm trying to find a middle ground there by launching a new project with a library, tools and tester GUI to control serial servo motors by various vendors that the robot is the dogfood-test for. I'm hoping this is the solution: Build "personal software", but clearly pull out the parts that are usable for everyone into a module that you put in a little extra effort to make it more available for general consumption.

I am a full stack software developer with six years of experience delivering major features for ML applications in the ITSM industry. As part of a small engineering team at my last role, I was expected to exercise full ownership of the various features I was working on, from design all the way to implementation and maintenance. In addition, I was also recruited to be a member of the company's ML research team, where I gained the ability to quickly adopt and learn new tech, frameworks, and libraries in order to stay on the cutting-edge of AI technology. I have worked on everything from brand new greenfield projects to decade old legacy software and have made it a personal philosophy to never leave a codebase worse than I found it.

I am looking for either a general full-stack or ML-focused developer role.

This seems like a tu quoque fallacy. The feedback is either applicable or not, regardless of who said it. They're absolutely correct that Being toxic on the right side of an argument is still toxic.

Even if there is hypocrisy (whether judged by you personally or someone else), it wouldn't invalidate the point.
I also think the web is 200% to blame, but for a different reason: ad-tech in general and Google+Apple in particular taught users that software should cost $0. Once that happened they didn't go back, and it torpedoed the ISV market for paid programs. You used to go to CompUSA and buy software on a CD for $300; that can't happen now. Which would be fine, except adware filled the revenue gap, which by necessity brought a new set of design considerations. Free-as-in-beer software fucked us over.
Yes, there is a legitimate need, and when you know you need it, you have already demonstrated you know what you are doing, and therefore can find the proper tool, even if it's not the default.

Whereas, when you don't know what you're doing, the default should not be a footgun.

Most commonly when people say lithium ion they really mean lithium polymer (lipo)

I don't think this is true. There are still lots of lithium ion 18650 cells around in battery banks, tool batteries and home devices, you name it.

Also lithium polymer is the same general chemistry (there are lots of variations), the polymer is the separator.

I'm being realistic, in the capitalist world we live in unless you have assets, power your worth nothing.

You have no voice, no power, ever. Where's the futuristic project that saves the world? I'm sure the next JavaScript library posted on the front page of HN will be it.

I hate to be "woke" and break it to you that in this reality that your just a schmuck to an entity who's paying you to ensure that your powering their machine with bare benefits; if your lucky. Many homeless folk out there.

Heck, if you've got a job after this ML/AI fluff, you must be good at it. I'm 35 and above cynical at this point, I see no hope in this world from both people and those who run the show.

Surely if the current government were dumb enough to try and ban Apple from the UK over something like this it would it would make even Truss look competent in comparison.

Not so much because British people love their iPhones to such a extreme degree but because they willing to waste money and resources over something this stupid.

IMHO Apple could bring down the government that tried this if they really wanted to.
> (Your bad example is a bad bad example because the . is already enclosed.)

That depends whether diagonal movement is possible. Except for the recording of the actual game, the graphics in the post tend to imply that it is.

If it isn't, then the filling-in-the-square example:

XX
+X

meets the definition "touches two separated sections of wall that are part of the same component" (northwest and southeast; northeast isn't a neighbor of the new wall), but fails to create an enclosed region. And by this definition of connectivity, it is never possible for two neighbors of any space not to be "separated".

There was something else in the article that bothered me:

>> If every cell has a path to the boundary of the grid, then there are no enclosed spaces. Any enemy could move along the boundary to eventually get into any cell.

This seems to say that this wall addition is fine, failing to separate the grid into two parts:

..X..
..X..
..+..
..X..

How well does your LLM do?
You go to a shop and buy three things. You work out the cost as being £5.88.
When you get to the till you realise that instead of adding the items together on your calculator you actually pressed multiply each time instead. Interestingly the cost at the register also comes out to £5.88. What was the cost of the three items.

Try asking your preferred LLM to solve this? How did it do?
Yeah, I was going to write the same thing.

My father, who had a PhD in history, had exactly the kind of math skills the study describes in Indian children. With ordinary arithmetic, he was fast and accurate. Money and baseball statistics were no problem. Algebra? No fucking way. As soon as x and y were involved, he struggled. Strike that: he wasn't able to struggle. He wasn't able to engage the gears that would allow him to apply effort.

One time, when I was in high school and already contemplating majoring in math in college, he told me that a math professor had told him that in modern mathematics you didn't have to know what you were talking about. All their theories could apply to anything. Like you could pick up a paper, and they're talking about X, and you could decide X was Donald Duck! He told me this like it was an exotic glimpse into another culture -- he knew that it looked ridiculous to him, but he also knew that it probably looked ridiculous because he didn't understand what he was looking at. You could tell that one part of his brain felt like it was a gotcha moment for the mathematicians, but another part of his brain could see that they weren't embarrassed about it, and he taught WWII every year so he knew that Donald Duck could also be artillery shells or atoms. He had that last defense of common sense that stops people from embracing crank theories about other fields of study.

This was a guy who taught recent history and accepted the abstract ideological struggles of the 20th century without blinking, but when you told him that someone could write an entire doctoral thesis about X without knowing concretely what X was, it was such an alien idea that it was out of range of his curiosity.

From this I would be confused about how he got through high school math, except that my sister, who also has a PhD in history, explained how she got through calculus: she studied all the homework problems and all the solutions over and over until she had memorized them, and she reproduced the patterns on the tests. At our high school, that was good enough for As. In college, it was good enough for Bs.

(It makes me feel a tiny bit more empathy for the condescending mathphobes who denigrate virtually all school mathematics work as pointless, deadening rote learning. For many of them it might be a sincere belief. They might have actually experienced it that way and never experienced any of the worthwhile aspects of it. But, on the other hand, they should have the grace my dad did to stop short of declaring it worthless just because they didn't get it.)
He is just trying to show how it would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.
This perspective just shifts the problem one meta-layer up: one side (Rust advocates) considers compiler-enforced memory safety to be a trump card, while the other side does not. So side A is "right" because they have the trump card who they played, but side B is also "right" in that they don't consider the stupid card that side A played to be a trump. The rest is drama.

Thus, instead of drama, we get meta-drama, i.e. nothing has changed.

> Why do people use this phrase?

Google are being depicted as the bad guys (devil) in the original comment, and the person you're replying to was advocating for Google's stated position of trying to improve user security. They were being an advocate for the devil. Is this not pretty much a perfect use of the saying?

> why not accept attribution to yourself?

Because this is Google's claim, being repeated here by their advocate.

> If not, then perhaps you should make a counterargument to balance out the "Devil".

The counterargument was the very first comment saying that the changes are really about adblocking.

Google's statement on Manifest V3:

Along with the platform changes, we are working to give users more understanding and control over what extensions are capable of. The changes will take several years to complete.

> A bad hire is much worse than no hire.

Within limits. Obviously toxic employees pulling in the opposite direction are a major issue, but mildly suboptimal hires are generally not a big deal.

Conversely when a team is chronically overworked, the best people leave first and those who remain are stuck with even more work that they are less equipped to handle. This leads to a death spiral that kills or permanently maims a lot of companies.

A locked-down device is pretty much definitionally a subscription and not a perpetuity. You cannot fix a locked-down device yourself, so the vendor has to do it for you. When the vendor stops doing that, all of the "benefits" of it being locked down (DRM-protected media, games with anticheat, secure bank access, etc.) cannot continue. I can see the case that locked devices should be easy to unlock when vendor support ends, but then they'll lose most of their functionality too, since the primary reasons for owning them in the first place go away with the unlocking process. An old tablet that can't access any content is little more than a really thin brick.
The standards came out in March 2023. Project proposals were drawn up not just for individual sites and charging hardware but for whole corridors and networks and lots of related infrastructure. Many were submitted in 2024 and got approval. Funds were starting to get disbursed for approved projects. Those projects are at various stages of construction with a few being completed.

Once again, it's not just the plans to build and connect individual EV stations. If you already have a place to put it and the electricity capacity available that part shouldn't take more than a few months. This wasn't about just anyone wanting to install a charger submit a quick proposal and get grant money. It was to make a coordinated system of chargers along with all the other related infrastructure to support them. To ensure chargers got installed in the places where its more complicated to get them deployed, and ensure they were deployed with reliable hardware and plenty of support infrastructure.

* I am using traditional methods (a book or 2) and interrogating LLM about concepts I don't feel clear on, or want to know more about
* Leetcoding in the language
* Will build some small projects, with heavy LLM-help ofc

I think the dangers of using LLM could be twofold:

* Could obviously make entire programs in a language while understanding too little of it
* Could go down too many rabbit-holes if you ask the LLM about every little thing you are curious about
I'm surprised this was published now, given that I saw a talk on this at a math conference in either 2008 or 2009. The memorable anecdote was that they filmed children who worked with cash in the market, brought them to the classroom, and given pen and paper in the classroom they would be unable to duplicate the calculations they had already done in the market. The speaker was promoting VR to simulate the market context in the classroom.

I guess what this paper adds is a higher N and the reverse case, that classroom skills don't transfer to the market.
Yes, I tend not to feel the need to apply the loop to sufficiently small tasks. To give a recent example, though, I use a text-based bookkeeping system for my personal finances. I've recently started work on an API that can sufficiently increase the possibility of automating the more mundane parts. Of course, out of habit, as I'm designing the API, I'm immediately making tweaks to make it more accessible outside of my own personal needs.

It's a culture I've subconsciously adopted, and I appreciate the author's intent to shrug it off.
The moral thing to do would be to resist obeying such laws as much as is feasible. If that fails close all your legal entities and continue offering services to the citizens of that country to the extent that is feasible.

Of course it wouldn’t be very profitable. So unfortunately you really can’t expect a major public company to take a stand like in a case like this.

I think a limited, short copyright can do good that the current many-year copyright does not. Imagine a 1 year copyright in the context of film. Companies would prioritize box office sales no doubt, but that’s how it used to be and it was generally positive. It’s really the extremity of modern copyright that I think causes these issues.
