During my several decades of translating businesses logic into code I never found a test that does not pay back the time spent to write it many times over, they are truly the super-power of the trade mainly because the can be completely automatized. Because of this automatic nature from a business perspective their marginal cost becomes almost zero (pretty much regardless of the initial cost and maintenance cost), the reason for this is that the value function of the business logic embedded in code, the reason for the code to even exist (i.e. the thing that gives a value to the piece of software), needs to account in the long run for the risk components, risks generated by defects or poorly aligned specifications, security risk, reputation risk, obsolescence, performance, etc. The way to manage risk at the business level is by somehow hedging and this hedge is precisely testing, again and again, hopefully automatically. Testing is then not a cost, it's precisely the instrument that allows to stop paying over and over for those risks and therefore in the end capture more value and reduce the variance of the outcomes.

People also mentioned side projects and testing. What I found personally is that tests are the best way to also document/encode ideas for later so that when you pause something for months because... life, getting back to a project becomes easier. I found very useful for instance to add some tests that would just fail for some feature easy to implement just to have an easy entry point back into the project.
You're conflating culture war issues with ideology.

For most of the world, left and right are economic axes despite the American corporate media's attempts to convince you that the 0.1% of crossdressers are more important than making sure you and your family get a fair wage and clean air.
Even being “close” to where the money is printed gives you enormous benefits. Average Americans don’t get this. Companies like Black Rock gain enormous power over the US and other nations.
Can we somehow load these inside node.js?

What is the easiest way to load them remotely? Huggingface Spaces? Google AI Studio?

I am teaching a course on AI to non-technical students, and I wanted the students to have a minimal setup: which in this case would be:

1) Browser with JS (simple folder of HTML, CSS) and Tensorflow.js that can run models like Blazeface for face recognition, eye tracking etc. (available since 2019)

2) Node.js with everything baked in (javascript) and use a CDN like CloudFront with tunnel to serve it to the web

3) So if they download models to their computer, how would they run them? Is it possible to run the smallest LLaMa locally? Or any GGUF models in JS? Or they have to have Python and PyTorch?

PS: Here is what the class looks like: https://vimeo.com/1060576298/c5693047e0?share=copy
Yeah they try to make them perpetual by only spending less than their growth each year but with 52 billion you could afford to draw down a billion or two (2.6 billion would be 5%) and that would fund research for years.
We already know where the bottlenecks are[0] -- it's in production of anti-ship missiles and then ships.

The lead-time in producing missiles is measured in months and years and war games predict that the supply of most of them will be depleted in an initial engagement with China over Taiwan that sees Japan/Taiwan/US win but lose many ships.

After it's anybody's guess but China has 260x the naval production capacity of America so they'll be able to come back faster than the US can.

That parallel between propaganda and advertising is why I have a pathological hatred of advertising, I block it in all forms possible, to the extent that if I can’t block it I won’t use the product.

I simply hate been manipulated.

So much so that I forget what the modern tech landscape is like for the average user til I use one of their devices.

We’ve (collectively we for techies) helped create a dystopia.
This is hilarious back-solving to somehow justify the general public’s supposed need / desire for an INCREDIBLY nerdy product that you yourself certainly happen to have wanted for some time now, and certainly at least in large part for pre-existing ideological / philosophical reasons.

If this solved any cost problem in any sort of compelling way, it would’ve happened at some point in the past ~20 years, during which the price of a smartphone, even against inflation, had absolutely skyrocketed.

In theory, anyway, billboards are prevalent sans regulation because they’re (among) the most efficient forms of advertising. That is, if the advertisers would only be spending some money on astroturf campaigns and product placement instead of billboards, it must be because they’re less effective than billboards - otherwise they’d just put that money towards the astroturf campaigns and product placement in the first place.

So banning billboards makes advertising less efficient. In theory, anyway.
Impossible in the United States under the constitution. To put plainly, this would be a colossal first amendment violation, abridging the freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
My personal experience with pair programming is that I first was very intimidated by it and instinctively hated it

Then, it slowly creeped up at work, and I noticed that initially, most people seemed uncomfortable with it. But, if we were able to build trust and get to a place where we weren't judging each other, just trying to make progress with the task, then things would magically flow and we could solve things that each person individually had been stuck on

We then mostly kept it to a weekly activity, in which we could tackle either specific tickets from a certain list that no-one was actively working on, or on specific things that someone would bring up and needed help with

I believe it's probably not the way to work every single moment, but it is definitely a very powerful and useful tool

I don't get the point.

If they were refactoring /cleaning up the code and porting to a modern platform - then yeah, that would be good for the future. But also a massive effort and well beyond anything that someone can parachute in and complete in weeks or months.

If it's an automated transformation from COBOL to say Java, then why? Any machine translated code is not going to be as clean as the source, which itself is probably not that clean if it is typical public sector code that has been mogrified repeatedly over the years to meet changing legislative needs.

There's no obvious reason why a machine translation to Java should be any more reliable than the original COBOL. The only obvious benefit is opening up to a greater number of coders who could make changes. But at the expense of losing the skills of the existing COBOL maintainers. My guess is it would be a wash.
Just a coincidence! Nothing to see here!
At first I read this as a typo for the 88c31 micro-controller that is used in buttons.

My stock answer was, "Good point, the 88c31 seems overkill for a button. But... AI isn't great for detecting button pushes."

Then, I realized the page was just a rant about web buttons and didn't actually show example web buttons.
I agree with all of this. Moreover depending on what Torvalds chooses to do Apple may have ended up with a more expensive XNU in the end which would have been a disaster. Although I think Apple can deal with Torvalds just fine who really knows how that would have played out.

Just because you don’t genuine value in an iPhone over a “cheaper Chinese” (presumably Android) phone, it doesn’t mean that those that do are “status-conscious” or whatever other thinly veiled negative value judgement / insult you’re going to throw out next.

The line could be adjusted, and would need to be as people exploit loopholes.

> For example, it violates no rule to include valid Emergency Broadcast System/Emergency Alert System tones (the electronic, machine-interpretable "chirps") in a movie or TV show, or to publish that via streaming, DVD etc. But no one does this, because broadcasting spurious tones (and triggering spurious automated broadcast interruptions) carries serious first-instance fines to which FCC licensees (ie distributors via broadcast) agree as a condition of licensure.

Uh, what? You say there's no rule and then in the next sentence you talk about a rule.
What is at all strange about wanting to work near other people so you keep each other motivated to remain focused? It's not magic, and it's not a treatment for ADHD (nor a replacement for such).

As a long-time Linux user, it's also a pretty damn buggy area of Linux, although I have been much more fortunate with getting hardware that works decently enough with sleep on Linux over the years than some people have.

The main benefit of Linux, though, even though it's pretty clear it doesn't have the best support for suspend/resume, is that it won't yield the resume function against you to force you to run Windows Update and yeet all of the stuff you've been working on overnight or light your bag on fire. You'll still have to get hardware that works well, but that's it. And.. and hope the AMD driver doesn't break suspend again. I actually do like running Linux, even if it might be hard to tell sometimes :)

> I'll take a Lexical editor with SQLite to store my data any day.

Do you have tools that do this or an example?

I'm pretty happy with Markdown and mkdocs (on Linux) to manage and format my notes. VS Code does a pretty good job with this providing both a preview and facilitating linking between documents (both file and heading links.) I'm always open to something better.
So it's an issue of fundamentalism, maybe. Those areas like LA and Boston might be as religious in many ways as rust/bible belt places, depending on the metric, but they fundamentally are not confusing a day old zygote with a developed fetus, insisting the earth is literally 6000 years old and dismissing the idea we came from 'monkeys', they don't have issues with homosexualty to the same extent and maybe even belong to a church that is fine with it, etc etc.

We’re talking about spending a couple of hours learning the basics of negotiation for a likely 10-20% increase in salary/equity. That’s certainly not making the difference in solving the world’s problems.

If you’re speaking more broadly than just salary negotiation - I’d just say that humans aren’t perfect machines. We care about solving problems but we also have desire for money, power, status and following random rules.

I think I once accidentally stopped Windows from locking or dimming the screen by opening a context menu somewhere (maybe on the taskbar?) - Haven't recreated it so it could've been a freak accident but I thought that was surprising. (Who knows. If anyone can reproduce it, maybe it'll make a nice quick workaround to bypass org policies for whatever reason.)

On the other hand, on Linux, I have found that if I have YouTube fullscreen'd in Firefox, it's a crapshoot whether or not KDE Plasma will decide it's OK to sleep after the video ends. Not a big deal, but rather amusing nonetheless.

As the other commenters posted, "yes, this is just meditation"

I think the real value of this post is that it's almost like discovering from first principles. Building up the knowledge bit by bit.

Thankfully it also provides a reference that can get past initial barriers and apprehension.. "meditation? Sounds too wooey" or "tried it, didn't work" are both I've heard often.

It could be the message that somebody needs.

Sure, I specifically pre-agreed to it not being ill will. What I mean is keeping tabs on the latest demand (newer benchmarks) and making sure their model delivers in some fashion. But it is mundane and they don't say that. And when a major number increases, people don't assume they just added more specific training data.
try “responsibilibuddy” :)
Unless I'm missing something, I don't really think it looks that attractive. They're comparing it to Mistral Small 24B and Gemma 3 27B and post numbers showing that is a little better than those models. But at 4x the memory footprint, is it worth it? (Personally, I was hoping to see Meta's version of a 24-32B dense model since that size is clearly very capable, or something like an updated version of Mixtral 8x7B.)
How do those sites make money if advertising doesn’t exist?

A major challenge in journalism is because of the collapse in value of banner ads. No one but the very largest newspapers have sustainable businesses in the United States and they only do because of the critical mass they have reached with subscribers.

Even if they are a dump and pump and Trump cancels or drastically lowers them before the 9th I still think we're going to have a very serious downturn and recession (and maybe worse if things go off the rails with escalations and other countries taking more drastic steps to isolate the US).

The uncertainty around what exactly they think this policy is going to achieve (that's remotely positive for anyone, especially the US) is in many ways worse than the tariffs themselves. And all of the other issues talked about in the article like the DOGE cuts are still going to be a problem even if Trump pinky swears he's done with tariff threats (which he of course won't do).
I’m surprised the hospital said they were confident it was safe. I wonder what gave them confidence? I’m struggling to think of what data I could have on hand that would convince me it was really safe. Also, to folks saying that randomness is clumpy… did you read the article? I think a bunch of nurses that notice they are all getting sick (and then FIVE of them getting brain tumors) should be taken quite seriously. I’d start with the assumption that there IS an environmental problem and then figure out what it is.
there is also the risk of getting black listed for lying.
Supporting ZFS in a UNIX kernel requires excessively extensive modifications to the design and implementation of the VMM, namely:

1. Integration of the kernel's VM with ZFS's adaptive replacement cache which runs in user space – memory pressure cooperation, page accounting and unified memory management. It also requires extensive VM modifications to support ZFS's controlled page eviction, fine-grained dirty page tracking, plus other stuff.

2. VMM alignment with the ZFS transactional semantics and intent logs – delayed write optimisations, efficient page syncing.

3. Support for large memory pages and proper memory page alignment – support for superpages (to reduce the TLB pressure and to efficiently map large ZFS blocks efficiently) and I/O alignment awareness (to ensure proper alignment of memory pages to avoid unnecessary copies).

4. Memory-mapped I/O: different implementation of mmap and support for lazy checksumming for mmap pages.

5. Integration with kernel thread management and scheduling, co-opertation with VMM memmory allocators.

6. … and the list goes on and on.

ZFS is just not the right answer for consumer facing and mobile/portable devices due being a heavyweight server design with vastly different design provisions and due to being the answer to a entirely different question.

All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

Blaise Pascal, Pensées
I had a simple formula:

"I feel like I am contributing at least $X value to the company. If I am then it makes sense to pay me that, and if not I'd like to know how we can get there."

It starts a discussion and it's more honest: if I am not worth that much then tell me how I can be more valuable.

I have had a pay rise every year from this conversation but my company is very flexible and successful, so mileage may vary.

I find all other approaches to me gimmicky and tricks, and somewhat dishonest in some way.
I am 50 and I can’t recall more than 3 ads between these three companies. especially apple… ads may get you first X customers but the reason tide/apple/cc are dominant is because they made shit that everyone wants.

it reminds me of how in San Jose, CA, there are several roads that were constructed below the local water table. so effectively there’s always water bubbling/“dripping from below” and causing puddles and erosion.
With most tech career advice on the internet, I would check to see if it was written before 2022. If so, I'd take it with a grain of salt. I wrote tech advice in the ZIRP times. It was a very different market. Negotiation is still a valid tactic but there's a lot more to lose and a lot fewer offers than in 2021.
The philosopher Blaise Pascal once said that "all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." Many of our world's troubles come from people doing stupid things rather than sitting peacefully with discomfort.

Doing nothing is actually a kind of discipline. The brain isn’t designed for idle time; evolution didn’t prioritize contentment—it prioritized survival. So Becky never really shuts up, because quiet might’ve once meant danger. Today, it just means our ancient wiring is nudging us to be productive, even when there’s nothing to produce.

I’m job searching right now, and it’s definitely not the doom and gloom that I’m hearing about.

I think it’s a challenging environment for developers who are either inexperienced or who have skills that are out of date. I have found that companies are a bit more picky than i remember about knowing the exact tech stack they use, but they are still making offers and those offers are pretty good.

Note that I’m applying mostly to mid-sized non-public companies. I’m not sure what it’s like applying to MAANG-types right now.
I assume this is some kind of ARM binary, but without any headers or anything I haven't been able to find out exactly what it is.

Hint: ARM (32-bit) non-Thumb opcodes have a very recognisable appearance, i.e. nearly every 4th byte will have E as its high nybble, because most of the instructions can be executed conditionally, and E is the "always" condition.
I like karma, but wouldn't checking have the appearance of illegal collusion between the companies? For example, would it look like they were price-fixing?

"Oh, your honor, I was only checking whether they had an offer. We totally weren't discussing how we'd not raise our offers, with the goal of suppressing wages."
That doesn’t follow. Most advertising exists to make you more likely to buy the product, not merely to inform you that it exists.

> Netscape was SO bad that they literally threw away all the code to make Firefox.

Nope. Netscape 4 did very well; that's one reason Microsoft used illegal means to compete. But Netscape, in what may be the textbook lesson about starting software projects over, tried to write Netscape 6 from a clean slate. It took much too long (of course) and wasn't released until Netscape was effectively dead.

AOL open-sourced Netscape's source code and from that was born Mozilla. Mozilla's first releases, based on Netscape 6, were Mozilla Suite or later Seamonkey. From what I know, they had generally superior browsers to IE - for example, they had tabbed browsing, popup blocking, and weren't the world's leading vector for attacks (it was before the Gates' Trustworthy Computing memo, which finally focused Microsoft on security).

Mozilla Suite included the browser, email, an HTML/webpage editor, and I think an IRC chat client. It also had seemingly every configuration option any contributor could think of. It was complex and impossible to develop and manage, and far exceeded user needs - most just wanted a web browser. So Mozilla made Firefox, just a web browser, along with the separate Thunderbird, just an email client.
Negotiation isn't a tactic, it's the basic thing you are doing.
