Hold up. You don’t need a car due to a robust transportation system. You don’t work too much because of a high minimum wage. Health care is free. Retirement is handled by someone else. Education expenses are free. Child raising expenses fre

Very insightful idea here. If you work in software, requirements engineering is a key task. Figuring out “would this deliver for you?” is a key question you hash out with clients. But the absurdity of take home work like this is the company

It blows my mind that people use these food delivery services at all. The prices are wild. You hear people complain about how hard it is to make ends meet these days, yet they waste their money on these kind of luxuries. At least before you

Identity theft is relatively common, so I’m not sure if their aid system should be considerable especially vulnerable or not.

> no professional ML engineer/team/org today that ships and ML product "at scale" gives a fuck about SVMs or graphical models or bayes nets or kernel methods. There’s a reason why “AI is just statistics” became a meme

This is the most infuriating part of this. Musk acted like a moron and overpaid for twitter. Then cash constrained, he rapidly cut things to save money. Now twitter is completely diminished in its reach, at an all time brand low, and at rea

People always complain about replication crisis and a lack of publishing of negative results. From my surface level reading then, it seems nice to have a paper getting attention for just confirming what the original Paxlovid study already f

I didn’t see the price mentioned in the article, but given that most restaurants are barely getting by, are we sure they’re really making meaningful money off this place (much less weapons money)? I wonder if it’s more for covert activities

I can’t blame anyone for taking the risk. That’s life changing money for normal people. And if you’re in a good spot to get a new job fast, I could see taking a chance on it.

Ah the classic “I planned to make a game, but just ended up writing code that someday will enable me to make a game”. Is there a sort of comment standard machine, like the GP32 of old, that’s ready to go with a good community?

You’re confusing the metric for reality. The point is to compare the cost of training in terms of node hours with a given configuration. That’s how you get apples to apples. Of course it doesn’t cover building the cluster, housing the machi

Crazy answers to fizzbuzz is a great genre of fiction, but there is so much backstory here I’m half believing this really happened.

I always write my makefiles from scratch. At some point in the process, I will google “make automatic variables”, because they’re a pain to memorize.

Honestly, that part of the story seemed completely unbelievable. I mean I get that someone might stare such a photo in the cloud, but hackers are really going to run a scam on him and then sift through photos thinking “maybe?”

Open sourcing your code and giving up is the ultimate pivot to AI - the new models will learn what you did and someday do it better (?).

What are you asking your applicants to do that LLM use is a problem? I see no issue with having a machine compile one’s history into a resume. Is their purpose statement not original enough /s?
