The argument for universities to be a place to learn to think critically and not learn specific skills is an even stronger value prop in an era where useful skills likely change rapidly.
This is a compute memory trade, not compression vs. turobquant? Lemma 1 is something like, "forward pass is deterministic because it's deterministic" which means the input tokens were always the lower bound...which isn't caching? Smells tautological. What am I missing?
HN used to provide a really high signal to noise ratio for me, but it's degrading pretty quickly. There are new accounts below saying "hey I just learned what RTOS means, thanks!"
I reflexively reload HN many times per day, but I'm wondering if I need a walled garden with some sort of curation of individuals - which sucks - to get the signal level I want.
I've noticed a gigantic uptick in text messages and phone calls where people try to bypass the call screening. It may get to the point where I'll only want to see comms from people in an allowlist.
Longer answer: About 10 years I moved into leadership roles (VP Eng) and while I continued to write code for POCs, it hasn't been my primary role for quite some time. DDIA has been a book I pull out often when guiding leaders and members of my teams when it comes to building distributed systems. I'm writing more code these days because I can, and I still reference DDIA and have the second edition preordered.
There's almost no shot to get hand authored posts some views (I tried with one of mine recently). I felt like I submitted it and a moment later there were like 20 new very obviously AI generated posts ahead of it.
Shameless plug - I sort of eluded in this post I wrote about Dark Factories generally and about rust being better than Go for building software (not just agents) with AI - but I think something generally important is feedback loops. While not all feedback loops are created equal and some will be superior, my argument is that holistic approach of including diverse, valuable feedback loops matters more.
Every day, millions of people read content checked by Acrolinx. Our AI platform ensures that what companies publish is accurate, on-brand, and high-quality. You'll join the team building the next generation of these language-aware services. You'll work in python, integrating LLMs, optimizing performance, and delivering features to customers ranging from Fortune 500s to startups.
You should have:
3+ years of Python (HTTP APIs, relational/NoSQL, experience with a cloud platform like AWS/GCP/Azure)
Strong grasp of system design, algorithms, data structures, and testing.
Experience with LLMs and a desire to build products utilizing them.
Bonus (not required): Experience with any of the following - PyTorch, Hugging Face, FastAPI, Docker/K8s, async Python, Temporal/Airflow. Experience integrating LLMs into products.
We're a small, remote-first team working in cross-functional squads. If you're excited about building AI-powered products, let's talk: [email protected]
These are terrible examples that don't prove a single thing. Babel, Webpack, and React all used leftpad as dependencies. Blaming someone for using an Apache project is absurd.
Here's my pointless randomly made up on the spot anecdote - you're more likely to write a vulnerability in your own logging system than being impactedby using a widely adopted opensource one.
I just did a pass with some replacements with o1 and it very much still recognized it as the Einstein riddle and actually seems to have cheated a bit :)
"Revisiting assumptions
Considering "Camels" might be a mistake for "Kools," leading to confusion. This inconsistency complicates solving the puzzle, showing the need for careful brand assignment."
Tracking puzzle progress
I’m mapping out various house and nationality combinations, but the classic conclusion is the Norwegian drinks water and the Japanese owns the zebra.
Analyzing the arrangement
I’m working through the classic puzzle structure and noting variations, while consistently identifying the Norwegian drinking water and the Japanese owning the zebra as the final solution."
Is your customer bringing you the solution to the problem or the problem and asking you to solve the problem? One is a translation activity and the other isn't.
Not outsourcing at all - you're are an engineer using the tools that make sense to solve a problem. The core issue with identifying as just a coder is that code is just one of many potential tools to solve a problem.
CO2 issues aside, it's just outright safer than all forms of coal and gas and about as safe as solar and wind, all three of which are a bit safer than hydro (still very safe).
