I have a bunch of LinkedIn connections claiming they get those fabled six and seven figure client engagements where the client “doesn’t care about the code, they just care about business results” and a lot of other buzzwords. I do data cons

If you had read the article you would see: 1/ they need to collect ground truth data for their algorithm to work, it doesn't magically work everywhere. 2/ the ground truth data was collected mostly by their clients, it

IMHO, the biggest impact LLMs have had in my day to day has not been agentic coding. For example, meeting summarisers are great, it means I sometimes can skip a call or join while doing other things and I still get a list of bullet points a

Repeated strings like that should compress pretty well with gzip, which is one of the core ideas behind atomic css performance, alongside the difficulty to remove dead css – with vanilla html/css your css grows unconstrained With atomi

Tailwind comes with a set of colors, shadows, typography scale, paddings, etc. Sure, you can override them, but most people don't and there is definitely a "tailwind look"

This is not correct, the regulation has nothing to do with cookies as the storage method, and everything to do with what kind of data is being collected and used to track people. Meta is hardly at blame here, it is the site owners that choo

Honest question: what do you do with them? I would be so fascinated to see a video of this kind of workflow… I feel like I use LLMs as much as I can while still being productive (because the code they generate has a lot of slop) and still b

Welcome to tech. Same as it's ever been, I've been a founding engineer twice in my career and walked away with 6 figures in RSUs while the random enterprise sales guy two desks over made 7, and the founder made 9. I do understand

Obviously if there was opportunity for a supply chain attack like that they would have done it in addition to wrecking the IT infrastructure. Regardless, I imagine this will impact day to day drone operation as the Russians might re-flash t

I use this vscode extension called "python envy" that changes venv automatically depending on which folder of a monorepo you are in, it's great! Wish vscode had it built-in

I had a project for a big brand a couple years ago where we experimented with genai and inpainting and it was a huge hassle to get it working right, required a big comfy pipeline with masking, then inpanting, then doing relighting to make i

It’s not just verifying that the address exists, for KYC you usually check if the address is linked to that person, and to do so you need some way to account for variations in the way the address is written.

I have done it as a hiring manager, it's really not that hard. 1. You can use an employer of record service which costs a few hundred bucks a month – it seems like a lot... but if I'm already paying a recruiter £12 to £25k to find

I don't doubt he's in the 1% or 0.1% of candidates you're interviewing, but there is one very simple solution startups could apply to make it easier to find top talent -> remove "US ONLY" from their job listings.

The cultural/political issues are deeper than you'd think, there are some within Catalonia that would claim all of us Catalan speakers as part of the same cultural umbrella, negating our own cultural background as derivative. That

Catalan, the language, does not have a flag. As a native speaker (of a dialect) who is not from Catalonia I would much rather the language be represented by the Spanish national flag. Although people from Andorra might also not love that. L

You'd think that, but a globally installed npm package is annoying to update, as you have to do it manually and I very rarely need to update other npm global packages so at least personally I always forget to do it.

Students are the only people with the patience for deep RE, I spent hours and hours in my teens unpacking binaries that used similar VMs and got pretty decent at it. Nowadays, there is no way I could do it, I tried to get back into hacktheb

It's a very common term in reverse engineering, and low level programming in general. In VMs you usually say "stolen" to refer to bytes/instructions/constants that have been taken from the original binary and put so

That's both genius and a massive hack, love it. For those who are wondering: they alias @typing.overload as @ovld only for type checkers. Normally, @typing.overload is a way to define multiple function signatures with empty bodies so y

The real killer feature of lottie is that there is an after effects plugin that exports as a lottie JSON. It doesn't always work 1:1 especially with things like AE filters on certain layers but when it works it saves a ton of time
