Working on new LLM model is like doing genetic engineering trying to come up with a new animal species. Prompt engineering is like feeding said animal and shoveling its manure.

Well, past few years of Intel troubles, resulting in the success of Zen architecture made people forget that AMD is a company with mediocricity written all over their DNA. Nvidia will run circles around AMD for the decades to come. And the

That's a very US-centric view of things. On my Mac pressing "opt (AKA alt) + shift + a" gives me: Ą - which I much prefer, since it comes from my native language :)

Does that card allow you to vote? Is it free to obtain? Do people know that such option exists?

I think the reason companies insist on return to office is that many employees took advantage of remote work to start a second job on the side. Some people even do more than 2 jobs at once. Getting people back to the office, full time, or a

Such problems only exist in third world countries, such as US or UK. My country solves this by issuing a plastic ID card to each citizen. You apply for it at your local town hall, and it is free of charge. You can use that ID for voting, or

That world is not hypothetical: there's a debate whether we should differentiate between "soft" and "hard" drugs (because we might be encouraging people to use the soft ones by doing so), but one thing is for sure:

If you believe Karl Marx then the answer is no: capitalism is incompatible with democracy, because of the basic human nature. If you allow people to vote, they will vote to take money from the rich and give it to them for free. Or for gover

That doesn't make sense: if your job is indeed "critical" you have enough leverage to negotiate higher pay, don't you?

How is that moving a goalpost? Reality is that since Nokia's demise something like 99.99% of phones sold in EU are Apple, Samsung, or some crap from China. Europe managed to produce couple of smartphones, 15 years ago, but tries to reg

Haha, seems like OP randomly chose the wrong argument from the wrong pamphlet. Yes, livestock produces CO2. The part about it feeding on grass is a typical argument against purely plant diet, based on the assumption that if we stop eating m

Different profiles do you no good. Under US law, if there's an investigation against your employer, you might be required to hand over any device that you used to access your work email, or other data. That's why your work phone s

If that lifestyle suits you, sure, go for it. However, by staying in a shit job you are throwing half of your waking hours away. I know this is not an option for everyone, but if one can make enough money from the thing that one enjoy that&

No, it means that for most companies Ops roles are redundant. That's why tools like Ansible or Terraform, and the whole Cloud Computing emerged: so that infrastructure can be abstracted away, and you, as a developer who wants to deploy

Which means one employee per $6 millions of revenue. Which is exactly what I’m talking about: their actual presence in Ireland is much smaller than you would expect from revenue number alone, which again supports my claim about “accounting

But the point is that Ireland does not really benefit from this money - it is only an accounting trick. Google funnels money through Ireland, but does not employ many people in Ireland, and does not pay much taxes there. In the end, the liv

by Detrytus 3y ago
yes, but that's not the point of GP comment. Saying "Ireland alone has $50B turnover" might make someone think: "Wow, if they make so much money from such a small country, then how much do they make in the entire Europe?

Yep, and that's how you get Ireland's GDP per capita artificially inflated to $114k, when in reality it should be maybe a third of that...

Well, the functional programming promise is that output is a function (pun intended) of inputs, no side effects allowed, thus you can understand any given function by reading only its code, no additional context required.
