This is more like a thought experiment and I am hoping to learn the other developments in the LLM inference space that are not strictly GPUs.Conditions:1. You want a solution for LLM inference and LLM inference only. You don't care about any other general or special purpose computing2. The solution can use any kind of hardware you want3. Your only goal is to maximize the (inference speed) X...
I am talking about the 3 providers I know of which claim super fast inference: Groq, Cerebras and Sambanova. Every one of those claim extremely fast multi hundred tokens per second inference speeds on reasonably large models. Every one of those also have a chat demo on their website which seems to confirm their proposed numbersHowever, for many months now, each of those providers have literally...
Read about this approach at a few places: Have only a REST API as a backend and do everything else in the frontend JS framework.I don't know enough about web architectures to evaluate this approach. Is it possible to develop a site/app with this approach regardless of complexity of the app, or is this only suitable for certain scenarios?Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am a backend dev and know little of web dev.Assuming you are designing a web app, and corresponding mobile apps in 2018 from scratch, how would you go about structuring it? What would be the best practices? What tools you'd choose?Since it's hard to discuss it without a concrete example, let's say you're designing a Quora or a microblogging site.P.S. I am personally fond of golang.
Once you are there, I'd say the best way would be to find someone in your network who works at google, and get referred. If you don't know anyone, make contacts through various channels.
Southern Europe is even worse. I was offered a role of Senior/Lead engineer (with over 10 years exp) for "maximum salary of 45k Euro". And was told by their recruiter that this is considered high for Spain.
And Ireland. :)
I respect your decision not wanting to discuss your salary publicly. May I suggest a throwaway? :)
This post is to get a (however small) current sample and it is purely to help me evaluate a couple of opportunities, no commercial interest whatsoever.
There was a proper discussion on it about two years ago. Recently a similar thread was posted, but not to many response.I do not work at any of the above. I work at a fintech company and make 80k + Bonus (Europe) with no equity (12 years experience, senior dev).
I have used gnuplot for basic tasks in the past. This time I am trying to generate graphs that'll be sent to the customers and it's important that they look neat and aesthetically pleasant.Spent last 3 hours on different ways to do that. Checked out some scripts etc to make gnuplot output nicer looking, but it just doesn't seem to compare with the output of some of the js libraries (D3/charts)....
Sorry I am not vary knowledgeable on the topic.
She says she laughed at the sexual comments made by her manager.
> I remember thinking to myself, “Did I do something to encourage this kind of behaviour?” I had uncomfortably laughed at some of the sexual comments my manager had made because I didn’t know how else to react as a junior member of the team. Should I not have done that?

And the facts about her 'harassment' are covered in one sentence in the whole article.
> In that week, I was kissed on the cheek, asked to sit on my manager’s lap, told about my manager’s sex life and virility, and told that “all men go through an Asian fetish at some time,”
She doesn't provide any context and keeps it as vague as possible. If you think about it, all/most of those things could have been light jokes that weren't specifically targeted to her. And I am certainly not defending her manager, but I still maintain that she did use this situation to her advantage. Getting a promotion, writing about it several years later in an attempt to promote her current startup.
Firstly, what happened to her is definitely misconduct, but not sexual harassment. I get the impression that the "victim" here is trying to take advantage of the situation. She never asks the inappropriate person to stop here, instead goes to HR. I mean just in plain words "Please don't, this is inappropriate." would stop most such behavior from happening again in huge majority of cases.
> During the HR investigation that ensued, I remember being shamed by a female colleague who thought I was blowing the situation out of proportion. She thought I was being overly sensitive, and that it was wrong of me to report my manager. That hurt. I thought she would’ve naturally supported me.
"Being shamed"? What if that female colleague honestly thought that she was blowing the situation out of proportion? A mere disagreement is shaming? Just because someone thinks they are 'sexually harassed' doesn't make them right automatically. I mean is there any scenario where someone claiming they are harassed could be on the wrong side of the things (or blowing things out of proportion)? It seems the SF/valley area atleast is too politically correct to even entertain the possibility that the female could possibly be wrong or making a mistake. Anyone that doesn't agree with a narrow notion of SJW equality is literally the devil. And this sort of trend has made 'being victim' a somewhat coveted status that can be used for gaining publicity/career advances.
And given that they are even advertising 'Seedboxes' and VPN servers [0] hosted in the same network, it makes me doubt the quality of network even more.

Why would someone go for this when cheap dedicated host providers like hetzner etc offer powerful dedicated servers with 64GB memory and multicore server grade CPUs? The comparison only gets worse taking into account that Google's offering is preemptible and can shutdown and come up as they wish.

So far I have been happy with it, even though only like 5 of my friends use it. Yeah, it may (or may not) have security flaws like many on HN complain, but I would take it anyday over FB owned give-us-all-your-data product.
I am trying to validate if hosting people's personal email servers would be a viable business.In short, you just buy a domain and point it to the service's name server. Everything else is taken care of including updates etc. What you get is your private email server, not a mailbox on a server, but a server that's 100% yours. Would you pay for something like this?
One tweet didn't wipe $8bn off its value, the results did. If the results were released next day, it still would have lost value ffs. I feel angry reading through this and realizing it was a waste of time fluff.
Say what you will, its evident that HN crowd loves sensationalism more than content, as seen again and again.
Out of curiosity, how (if at all) was that person rewarded for saving Millions for the company?
