I've been out of work for a little while now so any new opportunity would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
That’s very valid feedback.

I hope I don’t come across that was and do have some evidence (not to be laid out here) supporting that I don’t.

I think I’ve created a team and structure where the developers I manage are comfortable telling me I’m wrong or what I didn’t consider. It happens weekly. We value honest feedback highly. We do it with respect, but we do it.

We just have some developers on the team that are resistant to ideas that don’t follow a pattern until they see it. And sometimes my communication around the initial idea is poor and the best way I can communicate is an implementation.

They are highly related to ontology systems and knowledge engineering.
Jesus, you realize people just mistype things sometimes? It really annoys me when people feel like they have to come in and correct others this way, it's so condescending.

Eh, I guess I can flex a little. Living in the Pacific North West, I do not have to play mind games. I can almost get IMC delivered on demand. :P
>I am not a neuroscientist, but I think it's likely that LLMs (with 10s of billions of parameters) and the human brain (with 1-2 orders of magnitude more neural connections[1]) process language in analogous ways

Of course Wikipedia, or any other source, wouldn't be enough. By the way, what is your source?

Here's the man himself, Bill Clinton, stating it was not only a possibility for Ukraine to keep their nukes, but also that it was a mistake he regrets making: https://youtu.be/nKoba5GvNsc?si=3T1W6BvrqEqvkpNE

So not only you're spreading propaganda, and lies, without sources to support your claims, you're even doubling down on more fantasy.

The fact is that Ukraine could use those nukes, both the ICBM ones that would require the "magical codes", also the ones deployed by the bombers, they also had the technical know how to further develop their nuclear arsenal, as well as having the fuel to produce more.
> Aiming is one of the easier things: huge target, multi-gigwatt heat signiature

You’re describing boost-stage missile intercept. It’s incredibly hard.
I feel like extensive pretraining goes against the spirit of generality.

If you can create a general machine that can take 3 examples and synthesize a program that predicts the 4th, you've just solved oracle synthesis. If you train a network on all human knowledge, including puzzle making, and then fine-tune it on 99% of the dataset and give it a dozen attempts for the last 1%, you've just made an expensive compressor for test-maker's psychology.
>Are you okay with sacrificing hundred of thousands of Ukrainian lives to damage your enemies? Is that acceptable?

The US is not "sacrificing Ukrainian lives". Russia will keep the war going with or without us. American support saves Ukrainian lives and makes better outcomes possible.

Without American support, Russia doesn't stop, they grind faster and demand more consessions.
Do the two sides communicate with each other or do they act as independent devices?
> I didn't think there were good storage-over-network options that far back.

Back in school in the early 90s we had one computer lab where around 25 Mac Plus machines were daisy chained via AppleTalk to a Mac II. All of the Plus machines mounted their filesystem from the Mac II. It was painfully slow, students lost 5-10 minutes at the start of class trying to get the word processor started. Heck, the Xerox Altos also used network mounts for their drives.

If you have networking the first thing someone wants to do is copy files, and the most ergonomic way is to make it look just like a local filesystem.

DOS was a bit behind the curve because there was no networking built-in, so you had to do a lot of the legwork yourself.
> They're basically never better than a laptop at things laptops are good at (though often serviceable enough that folks don't need both)

I'm experimenting with replacing my personal laptop with an iPad Pro this year. I'm not a professional content creator, photo or video editor, etc. So far it's been great. I write a lot, creative writing, journaling, and lots of note taking. It's been wonderful for all of these tasks and it basically goes with me everywhere.
Might also have something to do with the war in Ukraine completely changing our understanding of modern warfare. Defense projects take decades to design and build and now out doctrine is somewhat impacted by how effective drones are proving to be.
I'm interested, meet some requirements, but don't feel comfortable with sending a Loom video.
april 1st already?
A shame because it's on your paystub. You can see exactly how many taxes are deducted on every W-2 paycheck.
Friction can be more of a problem too though. If your manager is objectively better than the team, estimates can get cut short and failing to meet those adds tension.

Obviously a good manager might pitch in, understand their teams capabilities but it's not always a natural transition for senior devs moving to management.
Fun idea, but adding and committing is the time when I want to be going slow and paying the most attention! What files did I change, were all the changes on purpose, have I described all of the changes.

Buttons for pulling and creating branches would be good though.

And break glass to `git reset --hard` would provide some nice ceremony.
Economic and Market Data Signal a Recession Is Coming
Yes, there was Novell Netware that let you mount remote drives, and there were even file locking APIs in DOS to organize simultaneous access to files. In fact, DOOM's multiplayer code relied on part of Novell Netware stack (IPXODI and LSL). The remote mounts were mainly used on LANs though, not over Internet.
Poor people and working class were gonna be fucked either way no matter the candidate that won, because while America has 2 political parties, it only has one economic party which caters to the wealthy established elite. Do you think Kamala would have done anything more for the poor in practice?

The only savior of the poor and vulnerable would have been Bernie Sanders, that's why the democrats have avoided nominating him, because he's a man of the people, not the man of established corporate interests.

So given two bad options, the poor and working class have picked the candidate not insulting and patronizing them based on gender, race and identity politics, while also being able to form a coherent sentence[1]. Democrats are so high on their own self-righteous elitist farts, they still don't realize why the majority of people hate them.

Can you use modifier keys spanning the two keyboards? E.g. shift on the left, and a letter on the right to type a capital?
I’ll get right on that
As a low-profile keyboard zealot, I'm trying to imagine why you'd need a foam pad under your palm. But maybe I'm odd. My entire forearm rests on my desk and supports my arm weight so nothing is pushing down on my hands. Then my hands flow directly over the LP keyboard without any appreciable bend in my wrist.
Oil drilling in the mouth of the Amazon – Lula on a course to disaster
I'm not sure what to think. Ukraine can't militarily defeat russia or reclaim its lost territory, and as long as it continues to try to do so, there will be war and the world will be less stable. But if a line is not drawn against russia, I think we have every reason to believe putin will continue to conquer more land over time.

Russia is the source of instability, but it can't be defeated or reasoned with. What to do?
Yeah not with Orban or Fico involved, those are both hardened criminals involved in murders too. Subverting EU is their morning activity.

I'd say no EU country should rely on full defense from the rest, each big one should start on their own in hardcore mode: drones, more heavy drones, optic cable drones, drone swarms and then artillery, ammunition for it and air defense (probably the hardest), then the rest. Himars is cool tech but thats a very expensive tech to develop and certainly in current numbers doesn't affect outcome of war. License/buy tech from ukrainians since they have best hands one warfare experience from whole europe, setup manufacturing with them, helping them and ourselves. What should be shared ie nuclear stuff thats too much for a single country.

Silos with main manufacturing, copied elsewhere in smaller numbers. Defense can be good business, just look at US after WWII, not happy that we are heading in that direction but there is no other way if we want to keep freedom. I've grown up behind uron curtain oppressed by soviets cough cough russians, and let me tell you, many people died trying to escape to that freedom. Its invaluable once you don't have it, not to everybody but to many.

Power transmission is really efficient, HVDC is around 3% per 1000km, AC is around 6%. It is more efficient to put solar panels in sunny areas and transmit across country than have less efficient local ones. Oregon where I live is bad for solar with lots of rain, it is better to put panels in California desert and bring up here.

Food is similar where transportation doesn't matter much. Staple foods can be shipped by train, barge, and ship which reduces the cost. Some places are better at growing food. The canonical example is that New Zealand is so much better in growing sheep that more efficient to ship lamb by air. Growing local only makes sense for vegetables that need to be fresh or don't transport well.

Yes, it's basically what Netware was, and Novell was a HUGE company.

SMB (samba) is also from the DOS era. Most people only know of it from Windows, though.

There were various other ways to make network "drives" as the DOS drive interface was very simplistic and easy to grab onto.

It was rare to find this stuff until Win95 make network connections "free" (before then, you had to buy the networking hardware and often the software, separately!).
Why your resume gets ignored by international recruiters
Sure, but that was essentially my point. If we're trying to compare HotSpot and V8 for similar input code, Java and asm.js seem closer than Java and full-blown JavaScript with its dynamic typing.

No, they were an independent telco before the 1984 breakup.

I like this super low F-stop lens video although it was massive
The huge missing issue is direction. Songs are way more than just a 10 second style reference and lyrics. Even the most generic pop song from the 90s had recognizable choruses some repeated bars and some ebb and flow to the song that connected to the lyrics to make it interesting to the human ear. Right now the generated songs, as you noted, somewhat glitchy lyrics over a bland backing track that just sort of goes at one speed and note for the whole of the lyrics.
Sounds fine to me. Sometimes you have a simple W-2. Sometimes you need to report life changes. "Efficiency" means those 20% figure it out when they have to.

Not everything can be reduced to this one cognitive phenomenon. The behaviour you describe stems from: confirmation bias, and the backfire effect/identity-protective cognition. Also this isn't exclusive to conservatives:

Vidformer-py is a thin client library around a vidformer server. Details and install here: https://ixlab.github.io/vidformer/install.html
It's possible to embed that into the python library, but getting FFmpeg, OpenCV, Rust, and the Python build systems to all play nice across multiple operating systems is too big a task for me to take on.

I'm not sure vidformer is a great fit for this task, at least in that way. It's better at creating and serving video results, not so much at processing. However, the data model does allow for something similar. You can take a video and serve a vidformer VOD stream on top, and as segments are requested it can run the model on those segments. Essentially you can run CV models as you watch the video. Some of this code is still WIP though.
You are never _guaranteed_ to win a race against honest block producers for any finite time horizon, even if you owned 99% of all hashing power.

A double spend via 51% isn't really feasible anyway. A double spend attack, in the simplest case, is to:

1. Pay for good or services

2. Receive delivery of the goods or services

3. Invalidate the original payment once the goods or services are no longer revokable.

For a double spend to be worthwhile the value of the scam must exceed the cost of the scam. Maintaining >50% hashing power is extremely expensive and is more and more expensive the longer you maintain it. Therefore the value of the scam must also be extremely large. For crypto transactions it's common sense to wait for more and more confirmations (additional blocks mined after the block containing the transaction) before delivering the goods or services as the size of the transaction grows. Since it's trivial to wait for N+1 confirmations as the seller of goods or services it's trivial to defend against double spends for any meaningful amount of money.
The human never controls the Waymo directly. The remote operator looks at the situation, labels the environment as needed and the AI driver remains in control.

Bingo. Most americans are at the phase where they are trying to absolve themselves of necessary responsibility.

I don't have to fight against my president to preserve democracy, it's Russia's fault.
With the current administration, the US will just do the same thing they did to Ukraine. They will abandon them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyJY_dq8_SM The Trump administration will take TSMC's technology and then leave them to fend for themselves. Just as they literally forced Ukraine to denuclearize and now they have no power to keep Russia in check. We promised to defend Ukraine, but now the Trump administration won't promise security when It was already promised. The same thing is going to happen to Taiwan as soon as the administration get's theirs. We can't trust the current administration to follow through with any of their promises.

We are more likely to get pulled into a war with Russia and North Korea on the wrong side against Ukraine and the EU. Taiwan is a minor concern to what's taking place in our government right now. The very mere fact that Trump is siding and supporting Russian narratives, offering "gold cards" to Russian Ochlarchies, firing and gutting departments and agencies, including overwatch, should terrify everybody.

Trump is just flooding the zone with shit as he continues to break apart all checks and balances while keeping everybody distracted.

from the wiki, 4th point in the agreement:

> Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".

Ukraine was the victim of an act of aggression from Russia. Pretty obvious that the US gave its word it would protect them.

They are "hidden" the same way manufacturing costs, labor, theft correction, psychological penny deduction, etc are hidden on your receipt, sure. You need to research to look all that up.

Meanwhile, you can simply check "VAT rate 20xx" and find that. It saves time doing the math for your state sales tax and then doing mental math to figure out what you leave the store with.

I also have the Smart Keyboard Folio and like it will enough but the angles it sits at aren't what I prefer and I really got used to the trackpad on it.
