World is full of abstractions on many different levels. Something being on a lower level doesn't inherently mean superior. You can go in any direction on the scale or spectrum. Do you know how exactly atoms behave that computers are made out of? There are plenty of people working on all different sorts of abstractions, new abstractions appear and demand for lower level increases when it is needed. You could say that as more abstractions are built on top of lower level the balance of all the field will go higher in abstraction level on average, but that is the natural way to evolve. Abstractions allow you to build faster and the abstractions are possible because of lower level elements. In the end if you are measuring what an average level of abstraction for current industry is you can draw the line arbitrarily. You could include the people who use website builders and you can calculate the average to be even higher. We need people working on at all different levels of abstraction. We could divide the groups with 2 different naming convention for lower level engineers and higher level, then technically you could go back to calculating that average is still where it used to be.

I definitely use npm (or rather pnpm) because I know it will allow me to build whatever I want much faster.

I love this! it encourages you to mentally define the steps. To me, the next step is to define the "inputs" and "outputs" that each step should have. Next after that in many cases would be "what to do or just what to suggest to the user if each of the steps fail." And at that point you have not only a nicely already function-based outline if you want to make it a real automation.

It's a thought technology which I suspect will result in better final scripts than what I have tended to do, which is much more linear and requires a significant refactoring step at the end to avoid having one long function of poor quality.

The inspiration for “The Deck” came from a situation many of us have experienced. Imagine gathering with friends for a game night, only to realize that nobody has the necessary cards. Frustrating, right? This dilemma sparked the idea of leveraging technology to create a solution.

The truth about not doing open source work and a personal GitHub profile is kind of lie.

The department I worked for at AWS had a very easy to use open source approval process to open source work we did from scratch for a client as long as it didn’t have client information we could put it here after approval.

https://github.com/aws-samples

I was able to legally/ethically fork all of the work I submitted (MIT Licensed) to my own profile after I left. But, no one cared or even looked at my open source profile.

However, I was also a major contributor to a popular open source “AWS Solution” that was big in its niche.

https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/

That did lead to two interviews and one job offer in 2023 year.

Almost all of my projects and the “solution” are obsolete now. I was able to use most of them last year with some tweaking.

The US values free speech higher than privacy. The EU values privacy higher than free speech.

>Opinions on the right to be forgotten differ greatly between the United States and EU countries. In the United States, accessibility, the right of free speech according to the First Amendment, and the "right to know" are typically favored over removing or increasing difficulty to access truthfully published information regarding individuals and corporations. Although the term "right to be forgotten" is a relatively new idea, the European Court of Justice legally solidified that the "right to be forgotten" is a human right when they ruled against Google in the Costeja case on May 13, 2014.[20]

>The European Union has been advocating for the delinkings requested by EU citizens to be implemented by Google not just in European versions of Google (as in google.co.uk, google.fr, etc.), but on google.com and other international subdomains.

Nice post and response to the previous one.

It’s important to remember that the use cases for VLMs and document parsers are often different. VLMs definitely take a different approach than layout detection and OCR. They’re not mutually exclusive. VLMs are adaptable with prompting, eg please pull out the entries related to CapEx and summarize the contributions. Layout parsers and OCR are often used for indexing and document automation. Each will have their own place in an enterprise stack.
They could also simply fail to enforce the law. Or use that as a threat to come to a negotiated settlement with the monopoly.
It was both available without strings (unlike Minix), and yes, performance, though the performance was less because of microkernel vs monolithic, and more because Linus cared about performance and Tanenbaum really really didn't as far as Minix 1&2 were considered - they were "educational" systems and not a serious contender.

I haven't read this specific link, but I remember few chosen quotes about how Minix had no "multithreaded VFS" while Linux's monolithic approach meant one was available for free (minus locking).

To make it more accessible (because when I first read that comparison I didn't grok it either), the issue is that Minix filesystem server was single threaded and handled one operation, one by one. Linux VFS mechanism (and all "basic" operations triggered by syscalls) run in the thread of the user process that calls them. This means that I/O on minix was starved on single queue of a separate process with effectively no preemption, while on linux at worst you'd run out of scheduler quanta and be descheduled when the VFS op finished instead of getting immediate answer.

This is also why BeOS/Android Binder and Solaris (and Spring) Doors system provide multiple threads to handle incoming requests, with Solaris/Spring also "patching over" one's context to minimize amount of work involved in switching them.

Render Path-Traced Hair in Real Time with Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs
Don't bother watching the video, it's an extended form blog that can be summarized in a few sentences and I regret wasting 15 minutes watching it at 2x speed. The relevant part for what GP seems to be pointing at:

> Don't use a class that wraps one method (or one method and init).

It's irrelevant to this particular blog article because while the classes start that way, they are expected to grow (if they don't, they probably don't need to be steps in your procedures and you can delete them). The author gives each class the same run method as an interface so the steps can be moved around into other procedures more easily (config with class instantiation, execute with a call to run).

The speaker's point is generally valid, but like all advice should be considered in context and not taken as a thing to do (or not do) all the time.
Part of the point of do-nothing scripting is letting humans use their judgement in edge cases. For example, if the file already exists, you might not want to reuse a private key, potentially creating a security vulnerability, as chatgpt has done here.

> but only doctors can prescribe regulated substances

In the US this is determined at the state level, so it’s different depending on where you live.

In many states, NPs can prescribe controlled substances now. This has become a problem in some areas with certain NPs prescribing Adderall, Xanax, or Ketamine at alarmingly high rates.

We do have monitoring mechanisms and people can be flagged if their prescriptions are becoming a problem, but the system is slow to respond. The cases are publicly searchable and I spent some time reading my local cases last year. The reports were often unbelievable, with some NPs becoming locally known for prescribing certain drugs at high doses. You can even find tips about which NPs to go to on certain Reddits.
Perhaps DJT took a liking to Altman after Altman's own sister came out with the sexual assault allegations[1], and Altman's business continues to be hit with an ever-growing list of lawsuits[2]. "One of us! One of us!" style.

Altman clings to the presidential coffers, while DJT clings to Altman's presumed innocence until proven guilty (because DJT is a convicted felon, guilty many times over of sexual assault, abuse, and fraud). Quite the villainous duo.

The gap between industry and academia must have been less well recognized at this stage. I think of PL researchers today, most of whom would not confidently assert they know the way programming languages will go—they'd instead confine themselves to asserting that they know where PLs ought to go, while acknowledging that the industry doesn't tend to care at all what PL researchers think a PL should look like.

One thing I'm curious about is why the industry-academia gap is so large? Is this true in other disciplines? I'd expect some baseline level of ivory-tower effect in any industry, but I'd also expect there to be a significant number of people who actually do cross the gap and make an effort to study the way things actually work rather than just the way they theoretically ought to work.

Where are the OS researchers who research why Linux won? Where are the PL researchers who study what makes a great industry language?

I came away with the opposite interpretation of yours.

The first quote of yours edited out the part where it says he does a lot of work in the DMA subsystem. It’s saying “someone who does a lot of work in the kernel turned the patch away”, which is absolutely true.

The second quote is understanding of the maintainers’ side, saying that they’re already overworked and now they’ll have to find time to learn rust on top of that. Not so much “I think these people ought to learn Rust”, but “accepting these patches means they will now have to learn rust”. This seems true to me? If anything it’s overly partial to the maintainer’s side, admitting that rust patches put more work on the old guard maintainers who are already overworked. It’s interesting that you feel this is too partial to the Rust side.

> I'm referring to doctors with/of influence in the medical board.

So your unqualified statement refers to a specific and very small proportion of doctors.

I'm extremely grateful that APCs have independent practice in my system. There is way too much work to be done compared to the number of physicians available to do it.

The "working under a doctor" model seems to be mostly encouraged by the administrators, as this puts impossibly high liability on the physician (who is forced to "oversee" a dozen or more APCs).

No thank you.
So, in the grand scheme of things, how much revenue do you think all of those small businesses combined make compared to just the combined business revenue and compute needs of just the large companies you have worked for?
