I know plenty of people who live in Washington and work for Seattle firms without living in Seattle. Many live in much cheaper places like the Peninsula, south toward Tacoma, or up north in Snohomish county. They work remotely or hybrid. In

Have him check out: LLM training in simple, raw C/CUDA ---------------------------------- https://github.com/karpathy/llm.c It is only 1,000 lines of easy to read C code. There is also Python reference code.

Use a model already trained on Wiki[edia using llamafile. You can download llamafile and several models, put them on a USB drive or hard drive, them send the drive to him via DHL.

Check out Cleanroom development. You don't write your own tests - ever. Moreover, you can't even execute your code. A separate team writes the tests and certifies or denies your code, after running the tests.

The most significant Aha! moments that I've had from using array languages (mostly k) were: - Verbs are algorithms. Imperative and object-oriented languages require the implementation of common algorithms (e.g. find, sort, and group)

You are not alone. I did a project to upgrade "sort of XML" to standard XML. Your example content gave me flashback shivers.

Yep. Q: How big is the 90th percentile text file? 64KB? That text file fits in some some level of cache and not RAM. An array is just fine most of the time. Use a different purpose-built editor for those multi-GB text files.

Buy-in from management (or the funder) is key. They need to understand that more than 50% of the schedule may be taken by the documentation process. This is not Agile nor Scrum, by any means. Answering the hard questions will be agonizing.

When possible (i.e. consent from management), every time (i.e. 10) I have used this approach, I was able to deliver zero-defect software, on time, and within the budget. This kind of documentation is literally the hardest work I've eve

You're weird but not alone. I can't write an app or web site to save my life. However, if you need to analyze 100MM lines of code with bespoke methods, speed up a mature system built by CS PhDs by 10X, do customer segmentation fro

Loops are a general purpose device that must be specialized for a given use case - e.g. map, reduce, fold et cetera. Programmers often get the details wrong when implementing such use cases. In a functional program, each use case is named a
