I feel like the Obsidian Publish pricing model is a bit off. Having it "per site" feels like nickel-and-diming for small things that's kept me on Notion for a lot of miscellaneous web-published projects. It would be more appealing for at least me if it was something with a higher flat rate that then doesn't care about the exact divisions between your projects.
Definitely over-engineering. But I also think the industry is just extremely bad at hiring anything above junior or entry-level. Job postings are so generic and interchangeable between companies that they don't actually tell you what the role is or what the company is looking for. Everyone wants to cast the widest possible net so that they catch some wunderkind genius out of thousands. Then, they wonder why they can't find the exact person they're looking for to solve the problem they're filling the role for.

In reality, job postings should be incredibly specific, with specificity rising as the role requires more experience and problem solving. You'll get less applicants (or will be able to clearly screen out the people who don't meet the specific requirements) but you'll get ones that actually match what you are looking for and can actually solve the problem your company is trying to solve with filling the role. Then the conversation/interview is much more important and both sides feel like they have some "stakes in the game".
At least for now, maybe this is the best way to tell if a text is written by an LLM or a person. An LLM will capitalize!
Oooh, I LOVE this! Especially the ability to "Overriding emulated code with C# code" I had a similar idea years ago (https://gabrielgambetta.com/remakes.html), not in the context of a debugger or reverse engineering per se, but in the context of remakes and "special edition" games. Not entirely surprised that this is a byproduct of OpenRakis. Amazing work!
It is far more accurate to say LLMs are collapsing or reducing response probabilities for a given input, than any kind of “thinking” or “reasoning”.
No question. Yet, social connection seems worth 10x or 100x competence in any particular circumstance and the effects compound. There are some real benefits from and needs to be prosocial and socially competent but I've regularly seen social competent but technically incompetent people advance far over technically competent but less socially agenda driving people (that are nonetheless socially competent). This only gets worse at scale and as you progress.

I love coding and do it reliably well with joy but as my career has progressed I've struggled more and more with getting a company to let me work at a "low level" or to navigating what seem like sociopathic behaviors to really contribute at my capacity.

A foreign adversary hacking a governmental system isn't good, but it's also kinda expected that they'll try.

That "just an advisor (but not really)" Musk and his ragtag group of junior developers get god mode access to lots of governmental systems is less expected. There are legal ways for the president to direct these departments, so when he opts for the illegal path, it's definitely noteworthy.
Exactly. Both projects mentioned in this thread (UNIX, Git) have clean cuts visions of what the authors wanted to achieve from the beginning. Nowadays it is almost impossible to FIND such a project. I'm not saying that you can't write another Git or UNIX but most likely you won't even bother using it yourself, so what's the point? That's why I think "research projects" don't fit here -- you learn something and then you throw them away.

What I have in mind are embedded projects -- you are probably going to use it even when you are the only user. So that fixes the motivation issue. You probably have a clean cut objective so that clicks the other checkbox. You need to bring a dev board, a bunch of breadboards and electronics components to the cabin, but that doesn't take a lot of spaces. You need the specifications of the dev board and of the components used in the project, but those are just pdf files anyway. You need some C best practices? There must be a pdf for that. You can do a bit of experimental coding before you leave for the cabin, to make sure the idea is solid, feasible and the toolchain works. The preparations give you a wired up breadboard and maybe a few hundred lines of C code. That's all you need to complete the project in 3 weeks.

Game programming, modding and mapping come into my mind, too. They are fun, clean cut and well defined. The thing is you might need the Internet to check documents or algorithms from time to time. But it is a lot better to cut off Internet completely. I think they fit if you are well into them already -- and then you boost them up working 3 weeks in a cabin.

There must be other lower level projects that fit the bill. I'm NOT even a good, ordinary programmer, so the choices are few.
I feel like people lose sight of exactly how ridiculously much money a trillion dollars is. You’re mentioning a bunch of desirable things you’d like the federal government to do, while ignoring the millions wasted on everything from a $90,000 bag of bushings to $1,300 coffee cups to $150,000 soap dispensers to billons on empty government buildings. You can simultaneously want the government to reduce waste and provide these services. Lately it feels like folks are getting too carried away and becoming “pro government waste” as some type of political flex. Really, the problem is _who_ is doing the reduction and _how_, not _that_ we’re doing it.
When you’re hungry, you tend to care less about deep ethical questions and more about being fed. There’s the old trope about wealth and food:

Poor people ask if you got enough to eat. Middle class people ask if it tasted good. Wealthy people ask if it looked good.

Which correspond to points on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. I think we can use that framework to understand where vegetarianism and veganism fit in. You might say that they are either related to personal feelings of being ethical or status symbols, or both.
I would say it is more like we stop pretending that hard work determines outcomes, and move away from conceptualizing "success" in financial terms.
I also think people under estimate how much pondering one does before starting a project.
Thank you for your comments. I found WinFsp to be very practical, so I tried implementing it in combination with the AWS SDK. While I believe RClone should be used in practice, I want to continue development for experimental purposes as well.

We know what kinds of temperament a dog has within few months of it being a puppy ( and who the puppy's parents are). Why would it be different for humans.

Claim that Our temperaments ( and our likes/dislikes for travel) are all learnt is a bizzare blank slate claim that doesn't track with my life experience and what i've seen in the world.
The human believes it was right.

The LLM doesn’t believe it was right or wrong. It doesn’t believe anything anymore than a mathematical function believes 2+2=4.
Lets assume for a minute that what's going on is a good faith comprehensive audit of these agencies. (It's not, but lets just say it is.)

1) How long do you think it takes to perform a comprehensive audit of an agency in order to accurately determine waste, corruption and fraud. If you've ever audited a large corporation, you know what that takes -- it is not something you whip up in a week or two.

2) Who do you think is qualified to audit government entities? Some "young Turk" DOGE engineers? We're not talking about determining whether computer systems are well architected or should be refactored (though that also takes time to do correctly). We're talking about financial transactions and whether they were legitimate and legal (because if not, that would be "corruption" or "fraud").

> But you can only add so much value to an organization typing on a keyboard.

In my understanding, non-junior software development jobs never were about typing on the keyboard. Senior software engineer is a fancy name for a problem solver, and code is just a specialized tool they can build to possibly achieve the goal. It always was about talking to stakeholders, figuring out what the heck they actually want today, how it fits with what they think they want tomorrow, learning more about those stakeholders so you can guess what they will think they want next week. Only then it's thinking about it all it for a while, and only after that it's getting to press the actual buttons.

But I'm not sure those things require "soft skills" aka - in my understanding - being a people person. For me, it was a very simple learning process - I (as a junior) coded something, a manager came next month and said I have to rewrite everything again because things have changed. I hated it, so I started to think how to possibly avoid or minimize it and optimize my own processes.

And in my mental model, it's not about people (save for tiny companies where a whole department/role is a single person, so I have to account for their mental chaos monkeys), it's all about business. That's why I wrote "stakeholders", intentionally dehumanizing (with no negative connotations) the model.

Its interesting to think about it this way. Like, this community's "financial opsec" was their isolation from the rest of the world. No one on the outside can attack them if no one can even point out the town on the map. The internet makes that approach impossible.
I've seen this characterization of Marcus here, and it seems to follow the sentiment of the AI leaders he referenced in the article.

But, I've yet to see where he's been wrong (or, particularly more wrong than the AI-thinking and leadership he's questioning). Do you have any citations?

Also, if you stopped on seeing his name, I'd encourage you to take another look—specifically the sections wherein he discusses AI-leadership's prior dismissal of his doubts and their subsequent walk-backs of their own claims.

Would be interested in your take on that.
What's interesting to me is how what constitutes a 'third rail' topic changes over time.

A quick search will show that it used to be fine to talk about Curtis Yarvin on here a decade ago but now that he's more relevant than ever it's suddenly taboo?

Did Curtis Yarvin and the ideas he espouses suddenly become less interesting or are a group of people working together to prevent critical discussion of his ideas?
>One positive though: if there is any alien tech, Musky will find it. You can bet that's high on his list, as improbable as it may be.

That tech has been handed over to the private sector as a precaution and also as a method of keeping the politicians' hands off it. Gives them cover to honestly say "I know nothing, I was briefed on nothing, we have nothing". Plausible deniability.

Elon Musk is also quite possibly the last person I'd ever want to touch world-changing technology. let alone be the sole arbiter of who gets to get near it.
The problem is that many smaller companies have hired people from FAANG, and had them quite after a short tenure, so they're unwilling to try their luck again, as it's just not worth it. You may be different, but they've heard that story before, and had it not work out.
Nixon had a 25% approval after he left office. I think there's a baseline of about 20-30% of people who are pro-authoritarian, and they don't really want to admit it yet, but they're fine with their team doing whatever they want, as long as they get their way.
> We interview 59 expert Microsoft software engineers to inductively understand what software engineering expertise entailed.

I'm sorry... but only interviewing engineers from one company makes this a complete joke. I stopped reading after I saw that.

I don't understand how anybody could take any conclusions here seriously when they're obviously so fundamentally biased.
That was a good read. I appreciate you sharing!
FWIW, it's unclear how the NSF ends up. Musk needs scientists to make rockets go. The defense industry needs a broad spectrum of scientists to make all kinds of things happen. Scientists (and especially the schools producing said scientists) need funding to operate, or there will no longer be accredited scientists.

Does Musk understand this? Maybe not. It's not evident so far. He certainly lives in a fictional world of the right wing's devising. Will someone else be able to penetrate that bubble to make him understand it? Will he care if they do? Guess we'll find out.

You can do it in a real code review. I think his point was that you can't do stuff like "instead of loading a YAML file at runtime this should be generated during build time using the existing infrastructure we have here" type stuff.

But I'm not sure you really need to in a job interview. It's not like you can do that with any other interview method anyway - leetcode also doesn't really touch high level architecture type stuff, and take home problems are also too small (or they should be anyway!)

In my experience you only learn how good developers' architectural taste is by working with them for a long time.
My understanding is even in the early 2000s it was pretty much just firmware versus desktop software with a small niche for Mac developers.

Edit: my point was not that specialized software applications didn’t exist. It was that people were expected to be able to jump from stack to stack when they change roles in a way that has disappeared from modern job applications.
Genomic encyclopedia sheds light on corn domestication 9k years ago
Because Shopify leadership supports Trump, and it's CEO specifically stated that Canada should have "de-escalated and not retaliated" on tariffs that are being imposed arbitrarily.

https://x.com/tobi/status/1885906286950363546

Shopify has been very vocal of it's defense of free speech, most specifically when supporting the decision to platform some pretty awful organizations. There is a long history of this, but this recent article notes that they specifically removed restrictions on hateful content from their TOS.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/holocaust-denial-merchandise-...

Lutke had previously denounced concerns about 'woke' ideology as destructive to teams, so it's pretty easy (for me at least) to see that Shopify would be eager to use the political cover of Trump's DOJ crackdown on businesses with DEI practices as cover to eliminate those teams.
> I will try this on my own hardware as well

FWIW, my results corresponded to:

cpupower frequency-set --governor powersave && cpupower idle-set -E

cpupower frequency-set --governor performance && cpupower idle-set -E

cpupower frequency-set --governor performance && cpupower idle-set -D0

It's perhaps worth pointing out that -D0 sometimes hurts performance, by reducing the boost potential of individual cores, due to the higher baseline temp & power usage.

> Maybe for completeness, what CPU type is this on?

This was a 2x Xeon Gold 5215. But I've reproduced this on newer Intel and AMD server CPUs too.

> (though I'm far from running into performance limitations on the old laptop that I use for hosting various projects, it could still be something to tune when I run some big task with lots of queries)

If you're run larger queries or queries at a higher frequency (i.e. client on the same host instead of via network, or the client uses pipelining), the problem doesn't typically manifest to a significant degree.
Sadism! That’s why.
Texas has a law that you're allowed to have up to 6 hens and 2 beehives in your backyard. Hens are fine because they're not roosters (though usually one hen will take on some of the role of a rooster). I'm not sure about the wisdom of keeping beehives in a suburban backyard though because when your neighbor mows their lawn nearby they can get irritated and attack -- the hives really need to be 20ft or more away from the fence.

Trump has explicitly said he is above the law: "He who saves the country cannot break the law" is what he posted.

He pardoned people who stormed the capital, threatened gov officials, and killed police officers. Pardoning DOGE employees is child's play -- but it would never get that far because the DOJ and FBI have been purged of those not fully subservient to Trump.
Tests to determine someone's personality are totally useless, yet they are everywhere. What actionable insight could you even gain.
Computer science should be called logic
At the very end of the video, the speaker quipped that computer science is not just about computers and an actual science doesn't have "science" in its name. The development of programming languages, compilers, SMT/MILP solvers, type theories, and proof assistants allude to the true nature of computer science, i.e., logic and its automation. It can be argued that computer science is even more fundamental than math, e.g., recursion/complexity, intuitionism/constructivism, linear logic, homotopy type theory.
> Why are you on a thread about Google-style interviews?

For the same reason you wrote "Google-style". Because this thread is specifically about those interviews happening not at Google.

>"And most refused to look at anybody deviating from their ideal background in my experience."

This is often because the culture of job-hopping for better pay every 18 months has eroded the willingness to pay for training or adaptation. Why pay for someone to learn if they're just gonna leave soon; the pre-trained person is a better deal if you'll have to pay to retain anyway.
