Curious what people's experience is with these models. Anecdotally I tried these out earlier in the year and found it struggled with pretty basic full-stack coding I was doing, when Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 didn't break a sweat. Was hoping to use it while my Claude usage was resetting but was disappointed.
The Economist | Several engineers and engineering managers | Birmingham, UK (On site) | £30-63k
The Economist is scaling its engineering team to the next level, growing from around 50 engineers in Birmingham, UK to around 75 engineers over the new few quarters.
We're hiring:
Engineers of all levels for our product engineering teams
Senior and mid-level engineers for or mobile product engineering teams
Engineering Managers for our DevSecOps / Security enablement teams
When the pandemic ends and it's safe to do so, we're planning to return to our central Birmingham UK office (walking distance to New Street and Snow Hill stations) around 3 days a week.
Just ping me if you have any questions or would like to apply.
I'm with ya, but that's because I'm an American who finds himself in the UK! Every UK keyboard I use is ever so slightly different, which drives me a bit crazy.
You may be able to host your development environment cheaper. Hetzner works out to be almost the same price as electricity of keeping my desktop up all the time for me.
We use DbFit every day at our shop. It's really changed how we work (as DB developers). Was funny that I thought of this project right after reading this article, and how I should probably try and contribute, then I see this in the comments. :)
Ransomware have spread via exploitable, unupdated versions of RDP, which is worrying. Better to listen on another port of RDP must be exposed to the Internet.
Baptism by fire, huh? :) I guess I was one of the unlucky ones, but it hasn't put me off. Hoping you guys expand to the UK (datacenter-wise) eventually!
Kimsufi is good (used to be with them), but there are a few drawbacks:
1. Only one IP allowed. No way to request more.
2. No KVM access-- Delimiter has HP iLO
The blade servers at Delimiter (https://www.delimiter.com/) are even more affordable. I pay $20 a month for a dual Xeon blade with 16gb of ram.
They did have a very long downtime this year with no service credit, but uptime has been reasonable over the past year. If you're looking for a hobby box it's a pretty good deal.
Even the yellow cabs within Manhattan would not take me places within Manhattan when hailed. They would stop and ask where to-- when I told them where (touristy areas) they'd just drive off.
