I'm not sure how that applies in this situation, since you're choosing to buy into a proprietary platform when plenty of open-source competitive options exist. That's the case for every language/tech stack.

That's surprising. For the past two companies, all our library dependencies have been open-source. All our persistences, aws sdk, consul, kubernetes, github/bitbucket libraries, pdf generation, selenium testing, etc etc. I'd

That's only if it's possible to keep the two distinct, at least in a way we're certain of.

If you're going to end up having to pay these people high salaries, why not hire a more senior person to begin with?
125.
by Salgat 1y ago
That's fine if you can compensate them accordingly to retain them, but if you're going to pay them senior level in a couple of years, why not just hire a senior level to begin with?

A company paying half a million annually to ensure this employee is retained. It's not meant for joe sixpack making $100k/yr as an underpaid consultant.

I imagine for the "best of the best" making $500k+ annually, this is just the cost of business and they're not going anywhere, while for the h1b workers making closer to $100k annually, this is a show stopper.

I bought a uv a+b meter and unfortunately shade, while helping a lot, is still way above levels that cause sun damage. The sun jacket though is a very good idea. I use one myself.

Always blew my mind that every signal can be recreated simply by adding different sine waves together.

The problem is, in a capitalist society, who is going to be the company that will donate their time and money to teaching a junior developer who will simply go to another company for double the pay after 2 years?

RNN worked that way too, the difference is that Transformers are parallelized, which is what made next-word prediction work so good, you could have an input thousands of tokens in length without needing your training to be thousands of time

This is why I decided to go with PRK. Recovery time is rough, but after a week I was able to go back to work as a programmer. Well worth it to avoid the complications of severing the nerves in my cornea.

>On the other hand, if you're telling your investors that AGI is about two years away, then you can only do that for a few years. Musk has been doing this with autonomous driving since 2015. Machine learning has enough hype surround

What's funny is that the points you raised are the exact things that work for me on Slack, and I've never found it to be an issue. And yes, Slack supports looping people into conversations they didn't previously have access t

It's fine to expect it to not know things, but the complaint is that it makes zero indication that it's just making up nonsense, which is the biggest issue with LLMs. They do the same thing when creating code.

The .NET team said they're working on VS Code integration. LinqPad still has some unique features (mostly database related), but at least for me, VS Code + dotnet run will be sufficient for my needs. Worst case, I can just throw a brea

The only breaking change for us was how .NET 7 introduced [FromServices] which causes controller methods to use dependency injection for attributeless parameters. Confused me at first since it was a rather subtle update that didn't bre

dotnet run *.cs is my favorite new feature for scripting. It has basically replaced powershell for me. It's trivial to script powerful operations now.

It's more accurate to say that callbacks and async/await can facilitate concurrency.

I'm curious how distantly related the information has to be before it is eligible for this effect. For example, if someone sees a WARNING sign on the container (with no specific information about the SCP on the warning itself), do peop

BTC has occasionally obtained community driven patches by distributed consensus rather than a centralized approach (as recently as 2021 with the Taproot soft fork). When Quantum Computing finally becomes a threat to BTC, there will almost c

With Google I can demonstrate a wide breadth of knowledge too. LLM's aren't unique in that aspect.

Unfortunately LLMs fail even basic logic tests given to children so definitely not high praise. I'm just highlighting the absurd amount of data they need versus humans to highlight that they're just spitting out regressions on the

LLMs require the sum total of human knowledge to ape what you can find on google, meanwhile Ramanujan achieved brilliant discoveries in mathematics using nothing but a grade school education and a few math books.

Mind you this simply meant that, if important enough to temporarily block, an appeal would be needed to ensure that what the President was doing was legal, which is entirely reasonable. This was simply an extra legal check on the president

Exactly, part of being a "superior format" is adoption. Until then, it's just another in a sea of potential.

There are approximately 390,000 H1B tech workers in the US. H1B is meant for roles where American workers are not available to fill the job (which is obviously being abused). The tax deduction issue that this post is about is specifically a

Maybe we should focus on fixing H1B first?
