When verification is done, it's typically right before making an offer. So getting interviews with a fake resume doesn't tell you anything about getting past verification.
SEEKING WORK | Remote | Based in Chicago, USA (open to travel for kickoff)

15+ years as a software engineer, now a PhD candidate in computer science. I specialize in:

- Web & mobile apps (React, React Native, Next.js, Zustand, TypeScript)

- High-performance systems (AI, Python, C++, Dask, NumPy)

- Project leadership (10+ years managing teams and timelines)

- Clients served: Fintech, insurance, oil & gas, retail (web/mobile apps at a major software firm)

I can help with technical challenges, process improvements, or research-driven prototypes (MVPs, proof-of-concepts). While I'm equipped for high-performance or distributed computing tasks, I particularly enjoy full-stack web and mobile projects—those come naturally to me. Open to short-term or long-term freelance work.

Yeah, there's effectively no limit to how much code that you can have.

We're all guilty of copypasting from Stack Overflow, but as you said, that's not made to order. In order to use the code copied from there, you will likely have to edit it, at least a bit to fit your application, meaning that it does require a bit of understanding of what you're doing.

Since ChatGPT can be completely tuned to what you want without writing code, it's far more tempting to just copy and paste from it without auditing it.
My apologies, only gave it a cursory glance. Should have dug a bit deeper
The plaintiffs famously asked for over a trillion dollars, more than the GDP of most countries. So they didn't get what they asked for, even if they got more than they should have in the end.
I like this. It seems that those who value agency don’t align with the post. It validates letting time go by without doing anything to change yourself or the situation.
Just dance is for young children playing with their friends. That is not the core gaming market.
My Aunt Ruth(less) attempted to murder her mentally retarded sister with insulin and did time. Later on she applied for a job at a nursing home and failed to check the box about prior felony convictions. Got the job anyway. My father-in-law was in the hospital at the time and we were terrified when Ruth, who was visiting, changed his IV.

She tried to end a patient at the nursing home and was also busted for raiding the medicine cabinet. Obviously no check.

My son applied for a job at a small construction firm and they did call his references.
Physical products aren't relevant here.
I would not be surprised if this was in the calculation. TSMC US is currently moving quite a bit faster and ahead of what TSMC originally planned. There is a possibility that TSMC US will only be 1 year behind in node development. With the added capacity, it will accelerate transition of Qualcomm, Broadcom, Nvidia, AMD etc to Fab on US soil.

Once that is even partly done. There is no reason Trump will send US troops to defend Taiwan.
There is also https://github.com/google/git-appraise which uses git-notes and a plugin (with UI server included)
Because some people just don't care where their code ends up.

Many people release code to the "public domain" (or under very liberal licenses). If those never cared if corporate entity™ used it in proprietary software, why should they care if LLM chews on it and regurgitates it out?

Also, it's far worse if entitled user® posts abusive issues to my repo, than if they copy snippets of my code through a LLM and are forced to support their inferior spitballed copy all by themselves.
E.g., in the case of a future "LibreMusic" open source UI or an integration into their DAW they work with on the weekends. I'd get pretty annoyed if I had to keep putting a coin in the machine to adjust Logic Pro effects.
I’m not old yet, but this sounds really lame. You’re never too old to stop being a piece of shit, it just takes more effort.
It is not C++ (or C) but a Microsoft invented language - which is OK, but don't confuse it with C++ anymore than MS have already done

Thanks Gus, I will keep it "short" on the next one or find a better way to let people know a bit more about who wrote the question. Once more, I appreciate the answer.

I will ask you too that, since we're on this topic... why do you think even smart people make "bad" decisions? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Ambition, an elixir of youth for me, for so long. Then (of course!), the arc began to flatten, the sandwich (generation) turned out to be more than a foot-long, and, that thing I took for granted forever...health.

This is where I think we humans must be connected, committed, and invested in something larger than ourselves to transform ambition into...transformation?

I thought I fit my big-boy pants. I see I need to consider a tailor now.
What exactly is meant by 'use reflection'?

How is it something that a computer cannot do? It seems to be just convincing yourself.

Gödel's theorum itself does not help you here because you are trying to identify a undecidable but true. Gödel only showed that there are undecidable true statements, not what they are.

Email: hello at sandeshsoni . com

Hi, I am looking to work with startups who want to implement AI in their product. Open to build vertical Agents too.
I am diving deep into the AI Ecosystem. From building a LLM to fine tuning existing model, and also building AI Agents, I have a limited understanding and will gain an expertise. I am exploring new concepts everyday.
I have worked with startups across the globe and have helped them achieve efficiency at a reasonable cost.
>I think the core misunderstanding is what is being discussed.

I see your point and it's valid for sure, and certainly the prevailing one, but I think it's worth thinking about the absolute values from time to time even in this context.

In other contexts it's more obvious, let's use video.
Going from full HD to 4K is roughly a doubling of resolution in each direction. It means going from about 2 megapixels to 8, a difference of 6.

The next step up is 8k, which is going from 8 megapixels to 33. A difference of 25.

This is a huge jump, and crosses a relevant threshold - many cameras can't even capture 33mpx, and many projectors can't display them.

If you want to capture 8k video, it's not relevant if your camera has twice the megapixel count of the previous one - it needs to have 33mpx. If it has 16 instead of 8 it doesn't matter (also it doesn't really matter if it has 100 instead of 40).

On the other hand, if you want to capture 4k, you need only 8 megapixels. If you have 12, 16 24 or 40 doesn't really matter.

If we return to CPUs, absolute performance matters there too - if you want to play back video without frame drops, you need a certain absolute performance. If your computer is twice as fast and still can't do it, the doubling didn't matter. Similarly if your current computer can do it, doubling it again won't be noticeable.
Very cool!

I've been thinking about what it would look like for something like this to be done for the profiling that you get from ICs, not the profiling you get from branch weights or basic block counts.

They're quite different. Two big differences:

- My best estimate is that speculating on type state (i.e. what you get from ICs) is a value bet only if you're right about 99.9% of the time (or even 99.999% - depends on your compiler/runtime architecture). I think you can get profit from branch weights if they are right less than 99.9% of the time.

- Speculating on type state means having semantically rich profiling information. It's not just a bunch of numbers. You need the profiler to describe a type to you, like: "I expect this access to see objects with fields x, y, z (in that order) and it has a prototype that has fields a, b, c, which then has a prototype with fields e, f, g".
I went from using a series of Android phones, including a number of flagship phones and finally tried iPhone in 2018 after custom keyboards became available (no way I'd accept the built in back then).

At that point the cheapest iPhone option available outperformed every android phone I'd used at that point and I was sold.

Still think the software could need some love but at least it does not feel like my phone has to do a call to a lagging wev service to open the camera.
Different lenses would be the obvious answer. The lander's imagery looks like wide angle lenses while the Apollo image was taken by a human using a 250mm lens. If you watch the video in the link you'll see all of this info. It even shows a recreation of what it would look like to the astronauts which makes the earth look much smaller in the images

> Modems are speed limited by networks which evolve on a MUCH slower timescale

While true, at some point networks do catch up, and many people hang on to their phones for several years at this point. If that's the case, whether having a better modem makes a difference in the end depends on which dimension of "faster" you're looking at:

Just using more and more Hz of spectrum on a single device does indeed not help anything other than peak speeds in empty cells (something I personally don't care about in the slightest in a phone), but being able to deliver more bit/Hz/s (through spatial multiplexing, better beamforming etc.) does eventually benefit everyone in congested/spectrum-limited situations.
I doulbt anyone will build a factory in Europe. It won't be competitive because of the energy prices on the continent.
I actually didn't, but I still think the point stands

One of the classic solutions to this was to put the data behind a cluster and route by verb. All the GET requests go to the replicas and everything else goes to the writeable instance.
"when it is in fact the worst"

That's very subjective. As a near 40-year user of Mac's, the consistency is quite remarkable. Mac OS 9 -> X was the biggest change, and even that was pretty consistent given just how different it actually was. After using Linux on and off for the last 20 or so years, I still prefer macOS when it comes to the crunch. It's not perfect, but to me at least, the best of a bad bunch.

Here's the thing; GNOME and KDE copied some bits from Mac OS, some bits from CDE/Motif, and a whole lot from Windows. The reason is obvious - familiarity and that IBM AT was largely the hardware people were installing these desktops on to. The "grandma test" (i.e. I taught my Gradma/Mum to use ${desktop}) is pointless. Instead, observe young children who have never seen a desktop computer interact with them. None of them fair well. IOS and to a very slight lesser degree, Adroid fair much better. All anecdotal, but do try it out - opens you're eye to just how bad the desktop is.

Why buy more lemons if you can squeeze the lemons you have just a bit harder...
I can't think of any assets that exist only in cyberspace. But even if you assert that grid-independence is not important, you're still stuck making the false claim that there's any scarcity in cyberspace. New crypto-coins can be created at the press of a button, thus your whole entire faith and hope is that everyone will always use Bitcoin, which is provably false.
Good point! human history shows that, at least the documented one. Do you have specific examples? just curious here.
FAANG generally will only do background checks at the offer stage, not during interviews. They use various third-party employment verification firms who will generally ask your previous employer for your title and dates of employment. I presume if you were a new graduate they would confirm that you have graduated.
We would not save fully this energy, we would spend it somewhere else more useful (rebound effect / Jevons)
The obsession with possibilities is characteristic of liberal modernity and likely behind the obsession we have with youth. Possibility is construed as freedom, and to the liberal mind, to commit to anything is to become less free, because it necessarily entails the loss of possibility. Thus, we perpetually hover in indecision, itself a decision. We try to maximize some ill-defined "possibility" at all cost, and in doing so, we maximize our stagnation, the foundation for boredom and the true lack of freedom, and freedom is the ability to do the good. It is spreading yourself thin, to weaken resolve, to accomplish nothing, to become nothing, or to become worse. Depression, anxiety, feelings of pointlessness set in. This is the serial divorcee who, having married one woman, now notices that, yes, there are indeed other women in the world! Tormented by unvisited possibility, he leaves his wife to repeat the cycle, never really embarking on the journey of marriage with anyone. This is opportunism. It is childish, a failure to leave behind childish things. It is living in a land of fantasy and infantile false hope.
> Do you really, honestly believe that the only reason Mozilla wrote terms of use that way but cURL doesn't is that Mozilla has more or better lawyers?

Yes. Well, that, and Firefox talks to backend services (updates, safe browsing, etc) to do its job for the user, whereas cURL doesn't.

> Do you actually find it hard to believe that the legal terms attached to cURL are entirely sufficient an that Mozilla is using different terms because Mozilla is planning to take meaningfully different actions with respect to user data?

I've known a lot of Mozilla folks for a long time, so, yes.
I can't wait for replication!

Good leadership is in the leader's best interest. Having a capable, happy and motivated workforce is also in the leader's best interest.
Great for MIT to be putting out such timely and relevant content for free!
Well said.

One quibble, however, is that python environments are a mess (as is any 3rd party software use in any environment, in my limited experience), and I refuse to use any such thing, when at all possible. If I couldn't directly integrate that code into my codebase, I won't waste my time, because every dependency is another point of failure, either the author's or (more likely) that I might muck up my use of it. Then, there are issues such as versioning, security, and even the entire 3rd party management software itself. It does not look like it will actually save me any time, and might end up being a huge drag on my progression.

That said, using an LLM for ANYTHING is super risky IMO. Like you said, a person should read about what the think they want to utilize, and then incrementally build up the needed skills and experience by using it.

There are many paths in life that have ZERO shortcuts, but there are also many folks who refuse to acknowledge that difficult work is sometimes absolutely unavoidable.
They are very good at higher end paper, pencils and erasers. Their gel and roller pens are mostly unmatched.

OTOH, while they're top tier in fountain pens, Germans really equal with them. Lamy, Faber Castell, Diplomat, Kaweco and of course Montblanc make great pens. Pilot & Sailor are not behind them, though. Mitsubishi Pencil bought Lamy so things will get interesting.

Inks are the same. Germans and Japanese are head to head. OTOH, except Leuchttrum and Rhodia, I can't find many fountain pen first papers from Europe.

Funnily, when it comes to fountain pens, there's another interesting contender. China. While they copy most of the stuff, their domestic brands make great pens and ink.

Also, a company in my country started making a paper which rivals Yu-Sari and Tomoe River. I write letters with it, and it's great.
In our cities history, it was EXPLICITLY to maintain republican control of local government. The city, it's like 200 years history, has REPEATEDLY split and consumed neighboring locals full of rich white guys to maintain a rich white republican control.
> Anonymous common property, sold by the LLM companies. No credit to the author.

Yes, and?

Before LLM: to share nice things with other people who may like them

After LLM: to share nice things with other people who may like them

> We are witnessing the greatest theft of intellectual property in the history of Man.

Yes, and?

Before LLM, anyone could already take free software and copy-paste the code while stripping away the author's name or the license.

There are more motivations than getting credit, or money.

If what I create can ultimately have a positive impact, it does not matter whether the credit goes to the LLM, to me or anyone else.

I would suggest you question and analyze your motivations.
This is actually a re-announcement of something already announced!

The only difference here is mentioning of specific cryptocurrencies.

Prove? That's a high bar to clear. But this is a spike at merely reiterating a bailout plan.
> You do have to conform to the communication norms of whatever group you're communicating with.

That's an excellent point. It does make sense to observe the way certain common forms of acknowledgement are being used within different context to understand the way that the group interprets them.

A thumbs-up can be used in a dismissive way at times. As one example, see the Giant Thumb Guy meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/giant-thumb-guy.
1- The US might be (might have been) the only country which would intervene if Taiwan were invaded by China.

2- The US is also the only country which threatens the world with tariffs for political concessions

Maybe TSMC will go to Europe as well, but for now it makes a lot of sense why they choose the US.

Because if we go to war with China, they have a lot more people to throw at us than we have active in the military. Any slightly protracted war will require a draft. I'm sure you filled out your draft card when you turned 18 like I did, even when there was no draft. That's so if and when they needed to reinstate it, it would pick up almost seamlessly where it left off.

>Are you implying that only people serving in the military should have a say in foreign policy?

No, I'm implying before people rah rah to defend Taiwan, they actually understand what that means; it probably won't mean sending only active duty and reserves after a year or two and that a draft will most likely occur.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_global_manpower_fit_fo...

Even with a full, aggressive draft, we'll need allies who are also willing to draft their citizens.
USAID is a waste of money. Good riddance.
> why is replacing our institutions with less democratic ones the correct answer

What do you mean replacing? What the Trump's base mostly wants is getting rid of federal bloat, and transferring power to local government (e.g. education). Very democratic, very decentralizing. Did Trump even create a single "institution" yet?

"Democrats" screech "democracy needs saving" where what they really mean is "our oligarchic bureaucracy needs saving".
I had job titles and companies come up flagged as a difference on back ground checks. One time I left off senior on my resume, and a other time it was was becasue i was hired through a contracting agency to work for the company.
> The problem, of course, is the cost of that inefficiency is external to the vendor.

How so? The impact of power efficiency is arguably as immediate to a mobile phone manufacturer as it gets. These things are battery powered, and many people are struggling to make it through a single day on one charge!

Of course, that's practically exactly what battery size is tuned to – making it through exactly one day for most users. Knowing Apple, they'll just make the next flagship half a millimeter thinner again rather than risking one and a half days of battery life...
