Browsing the barebones site and reading the Code of Conduct, I get the sense that political activism is a higher priority than engineering. There's a dedicated BLM page, where they honor George Floyd, but not the woman who was pistol-whipped by Floyd and his crew during an armed robbery, while the woman was home alone with her children.[1] I am aware that this is wrongthink.

Americans rejected this worldview in the recent presidential election. While I have no issue with people advocating for their flavor of justice, I can't imagine this being the most savvy business decision in the current climate. I certainly would not be interested in hiring or working with an agency for whom caustic ideology appears to be more important than any other concern. Their hostility towards people with my skin color is palpable.

If you think this is a good fit for your case, you should embed SQLite in your application and shard your application. An embedded SQLite is faster and uses less memory than a PostgreSQL running as a separate process and possibly on a different machine.

In Lisp, interning is not only used for saving on string comparisons. It's the basis of the symbol abstraction. Or perhaps not the basis, but interning is the only way symbols can correspond to a printed representation. Without interning, we don't have it that A and A are the same object.

A symbol being an object with a durable identity is important because it can have properties other than just the string which gives it a name.
Even 0.05% interest on this amount would be nice. But does a bank really have this much money on the balance sheet, though?
It's hard to put a number on shittiness, not sure how to objectively look at this at all so idk what to say besides that this seems very much out there to me. They don't have any illegal monopolies (acquired not through being better but through a legit monopoly boosting their other products), don't run the biggest tracking ad firm in the world, don't track you across the web after luring you into logging in in the browser, don't have a closed source version of the browser with more features, don't deprecate functional ad blocking, don't run walled gardens like youtube... it's hard to come up with a single way in which Google is more trustworthy than Mozilla. How can you say they're even close to up to the same shit?

As a fellow divorcee (minus 3 cats I miss dearly as well), it took me a while to realize that what I was feeling _was_ grief, and still is. I am now happily remarried to a woman who is certainly better for me, but even though it was ~5 years ago, I still feel pain and sadness from my divorce. It will never fully go away, it just becomes a scar that you're reminded of from time to time.

Where I come from: I've worked for NASA , as a System Administrator and Operational Test Conductor,helping to run field ops as well as maintain security , provision and administer their launch systems.

I've helped run operations involving multiple sites and multiple groups around the Country to that involved testing aspects of space hardware ,software involving multiple various teams and groups.

I currently am part of the requirement testing process for NASA's Launch Control Software and help design tests ,ensure the software is up to spec , and that it meets requirements for Artemis 2; putting the software through it's paces for our ultimate launch (and as the software comes along since future launches such as Artemis 3 and beyond will build directly from this). I'm also currently leading the effort to confirm Artemis 2's data connection links for launch.

I'm a team-orientated, friendly, detail focused technologist with a eye towards expanding and delving more into the development side of tech, leveraging my experience in administration and operations over, and getting a little deeper to working with the innards that make things tick and being able to tweak them,.

I said "X" instead of intelligence, strength, mass, reaction time, precise control, spatial awareness, or any other single characteristic because the best athletes have to be great on multiple dimensions - not just one. The same goes for "intelligence", unless it's used by Land as a catch-all phrase for multiple attributes, and if so, the statement becomes pointlessly vague, and papers over the fact that some of these attributes have physical limits and can't be changed by the self-improving intelligence, this limits are present in any medium e.g. latency, bandwidth, signal attenuation
I think that won't happen as ASML relies on a bunch of patents. Now I don't think American patents are valid abroad anyways. So probably shouldn't be a concern.

first thing that came to mind is toothpicks. wonder if that's where the idea for the study came from. There was a time when men always had a toothpick in their mouth. Guess there was something to it! Seems like the simplest way to "try" this technique as it's certainly tested - or are their health risks for chewing on a toothpick?

Man, what a wild ride! From getting laid off at Meta to pulling off a 200k-unit hit on Steam—talk about turning things around in style. That’s seriously inspiring.

Ballionaire sounds like an absolute blast—roguelike pachinko? That’s a combo I didn’t know I needed! Must have been a crazy year grinding to get it out, but totally worth it. Any unexpected lessons or ‘oh crap’ moments along the way? Wishing you even bigger wins ahead!
I am not referring to hardware. Hardware quality has largely improved, software quality has largely gotten worse.
> I recognize my behavior at that moment did not reflect our values at SAP.

This line in corporate apology statements is so weird, like SAP had some unique higher ethical code that opposed sexual harassment, which only one called to the service of humanity as a SAP executive would understand. I guess whoever writes these things always throws it in to try to subtly reassure people that it's not systemic?
On the bright side, you didn't have a volcano erupt on you.
I think we intuitively allow for artists to derive and interpolate from their influences because of a baseline understanding that A) it is impossible to create art without influence and B) that there is an inherent value in a human creating art and expressing themselves. How that relates to someone using unlicensed music from actual humans to train an AI model in order to profit off of the collective work of thousands of actual human artists, I have no idea.

edit:

> I think that bringing the sum of human musical knowledge to anybody who cares to try for free is a moral good

Generative AI music isn't in any way accomplishing this goal. A free Spotify account with ads accomplishes this goal -- being able to generate a passable tune using a mish-mash of existing human works isn't bringing musical knowledge to the masses, it's just enabling end users to entertain themselves and you to profit from that.

> Is it really consent for those artists signing to labels

Yes? Ignoring the fact that there are independent labels outside the ownership of the Big Three you mention, artists enter into contracts with labels consensually because of the benefits the label can offer them. You train your model on these artists' output without their consent, credit or notification, profit off of it and offer nothing in return to the artists.

How do you write an each loop or a conditional in HTML?
Great write-up!

Apologies if this side-tracks the conversation, but why do we as an industry complicate the naming of such techniques? I don't remember what "string interning" is off the top of my head, but a "string lookup table" is immediately obvious. Maybe I'm wrong though and this is a commonly understood name. I guess interning captures both creating the lookup table + using the index in the related data structures. We used this technique at KAYAK to help efficiently construct the list of possible flight combinations for N x M depart/return legs.
It's not that Arazzo can't work for LLMs, just that it's not the primary use case. We want to add LLM enabled transformations between linkages. Arazzo having to serve other use cases like API workflow testing and guided docs experiences may not be incentivized to support these types of features.

Layer | Founding Eng | San Francisco In-Person Only | Full-Time

We believe SMBs are the backbone of American society and small business ownership is the best path to wealth creation and economic mobility for many Americans. We're trying to dramatically lower the activation energy in just one of the major hurdles for aspiring small business owners: accounting and bookkeeping.

Our approach is working! We embed directly within an SMB's primary business platform, manage all the data syncing & reconciliation for them, and have real humans (with real AI tooling) handling their books. We do this at ~half the cost of existing bookkeeping services and it's still profitable for us because we're saving so much time with our data access + AI.

Adoption is taking off faster even faster than we hoped and we need to grow the team! We're a team of 5 who like working with a high ownership and high throughput collaboration. We have serious technical challenges across scaling systems, data modeling, and building AI-driven automations of tedious tasks.

We want teammates who love learning and want to be involved in company building from the ground up - even if you aren't familiar with accounting or our tech stack. We have tier-1 investors, thousands of SMBs on the platform, and revenue has 10x'd in the last 6 months - it's a very good time to join us.

In this multi-tenant arrangement, you run into synchronization problems.

Developers should expect users to connect to the service using multiple devices (clients).

AFAIK bare SQLite doesn't offer synchronization mechanisms between multiple SQLite instances.

I believe Turso offers some solution of this kind, but not sure if that's open source or not.

> They could annihilate the pc laptop market with decent ram and storage pricing

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Though their hardware is capable, Apple has very intentionally left behind large markets of software with specific choices they've made, including dropping support for 32-bit legacy applications, developing their own proprietary graphics API in the form of Metal, deprecating OpenGL, and refusing to support portable, cross-platform APIs like Vulkan.

Apple computers compete against Apple computers, not PCs in general.

You either fight far away or you fight at home. The choice to fight though is not yours to make. Its the choice of the defectors of law, of Despots and murderers. You can fight them today, while they rob you with a stick or tomorrow, when they have a gun. But fight you must.
Curious about the order - I'd think doing semi-automated checks on a CV is much cheaper than an interview, and would work as a filter.
> But I will never "open" another piece of software, now that it's all grist for the LLM code generator industry.

This is an interesting, albeit offtopic, discussion. My last few projects are still stored as private repos because I do not want them to be gobbled up by LLMs for junior, expendable and cheaper devs to replace me, especially when I am exploring novel problem-spaces. In fact, I do not care to be convinced otherwise, I am ideologically speaking completely opposed to any form of LLM or "AI".

I daydream of a niche, nerdy network of nerds, outside the world wide web, to share my stuff with humans. Until then, I am not sure whether my projects should be open-source. The ones that will benefit the most are the idiotic machines and their operators.
