Preach. My friend is a gifted passionate Aerospace engineer (top in his specific stream at Cambridge) and basically is withering away working for the above 2 firms. The location is grim being far from others and generally far from other young exciting people. Additionally in his org, there just isn't a sense of excitement/ urgency which leaves him with little to do. Prioritising career for a career that's not there
Whilst others working in software (myself included) can have a far greater quality of life and salary working in London.
Personally this was more useful than the original article. Original article mostly aimed at someone who is slightly more familiar with BTrees which is fine
I was thinking why is this one guy on HN so deeply interested and discussing technical details from a minor remark. Then I clocked the name. Great work on Gemma bugs
Do you happen to have a link to said essay or know the name as I can't find it and would be interested in reading it. I also gladly confess to not remembering the plot of the vast majority of the works of fiction that I've read.
In case, it's not blinding obvious to people. Groq are a hardware company that have built chips that are designed around the training and serving of machine models particularly targeted at LLMs. So the quality of the response isn't really what we're looking for here. We're looking for speed i.e. tokens per second.
I actually have a final round interview with a subsidiary of Groq coming up and I'm very undecided as to whether to pursue it so this felt extraordinarily serendipitous to me. Food for thought shown here
Yay, the gigantic mega corp I feel more aligned with won!
On a more serious note, I think that this is broadly a good thing for the consumer. Apple and Google have a monopoly over basically distribution of apps and so the vast majority of people interact with technology most of the time. Having some restrictions on their behaviour and how people can circumvent them being established in the courts is good imo but keen to hear other points of view.
Having not really written many tests before due to having worked moreso as a data scientist (a smidgen of pytest here and there), it's so nice writing tests in Go. Definitely a considered and well implemented part of the language
Super wild. Big props to the author for making mod and also for sharing the details. Just seems like witchcraft adding multiplayer to an already released game damn
Probably the fact that Black Friday is an American phenomenon that is successfully exported to mainly Anglo countries. Doesn't impact mainland Europe as much.
Realistically the odds of gdb being a terrible programmer are very very slim. He has been in the field for at least a decade, published papers, given talks, was the CTO of stripe ( a company generally respected for having sick technical infrastructure). If he works an inordinate amount, then it's probably cause he loves it. I would guess he is much more likely to be world class than terrible
Been enjoying this a lot since it's release. Getting towards the end of the game ~80% of the way through and appreciating a bit of a difficulty spike as I had found that the game was a bit on the easier side for most of it.
Graphically great and I had partially picked it up as a UE5 game that I was already interested in.
Definitely sets off my bullshit detector. Outstanding claims require outstanding proof and providing none of the sort. Also kinda get crankery energy from the allusions to Pythagoras and refuation of Heisenberg in his LinkedIn post.
