Funny how if you kept reading before commenting, they addressed that point specifically

> We were cautious to only run after each model’s training cutoff dates for the LLM models. That way we could be sure models couldn’t have memorized market outcomes.

Very cool project! It would be really nice to have support for the other assistants that Microsoft released to use in place of Clippy (I'm particularly fond of the dolphin that was used in the Japanese version of Windows) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant#Assistants

Is that why the name changed to simply Hands. Makes sense but I hadn't realized the company was sold. I haven't noticed it affect the stores in any way yet.

That's only income tax. There's also social contributions including pension, health insurance, and unemployment insurance. This adds up to around an extra 20% tax (although pension contributions are capped so could be less for very high salaries).

re your last sentence: why do you disapprove of funding research into AI safety

I've never heard of this. What's the long tail pipe argument?

edit: I see. I definitely have heard this, just not called as such https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_long_tailpipe

So the marketplace you're describing is not RMT then? You're facilitating in-game trades with in-game currencies, and making money some other way? (ads?)

The high-paying tech companies in Tokyo that I'm aware of are Google, Amazon, Indeed, Woven Planet, Stripe, and Doordash. Those last two are just starting out here so still have a limited presence.

Those are basically your options. Outside of these, TC will go down quickly

I've been working for a large US company in Tokyo for several years now. No need to know Japanese for work; I know a lot of people that speak it very poorly (though I wouldn't recommend that if you're staying here long term).

The pay is good (~35M JPY/300K USD at L5) but there are very few companies with this level of compensation so the real cost is in the limited opportunities.

Like everywhere, there's good and bad parts to living in Tokyo, but I've enjoyed it for the most part. It's friendly, clean, safe, and relatively cheap. On the other hand, there's sometimes discrimination against foreigners (especially in housing) and I don't appreciate how cramped apartments and houses are.

I didn't mean to imply that what you're doing is simple; I was just curious.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what a unified morphological analysis engine is. Something to look into tonight

Very cool work! Paradoxically, I've been slacking off on practicing Japanese diligently ever since I moved to Tokyo. I've been meaning to get back into a good routine so I'll give jpdb a shot.

I'm curious how you did this: "We have 16785 prebuilt decks with vocabulary from 1124 different anime waiting for you." Did you write a script that calls subs2srs?

It's rude in the same context that "yeah" is rude. So ok, there are times when it's more appropriate to answer with "yes", but there are many situations outside of chatting with my friends where I would be comfortable saying "ouais".

Also, verlan is used all the time by everyone under the age of 30. Not all of it; some terms are rarer than others and are, as you say, associated with rough neighborhoods. But it's an extremely common way of speaking.

That's like saying that using "yeah" and "fuck" make you sound like you come from a bad neighborhood. Totally untrue

Where are they getting their "nutrients and vitamins"?

Thanks. I had totally misheard that as "SSD and solid state drive" as well. Went back to listen and you're right

> How do you get further context on how to pronounce a proper name like this?

You don't. There's no way to know which pronunciation to use other than the person telling you.

He means that there are rules preventing the data from being shared, making it harder to find a training set.

Wait, hold up. Ogame is still popular enough that you have a good userbase for this?

Like I mentioned in another comment, I've heard that companies listed on devjobs.jp pay well. In general companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Indeed try to match their salaries as they're competing for the same pool of talent. I work for one of those. I know an engineer with 3-4yoe who got a very good offer from Mercari (~17M)

devjobs.jp is a good place to start. American companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Indeed pay well. I know a front end engineer with a few years of experience who got an offer from Mercari for 17M.

Unfortunately I speak mostly English all day. I'll speak Japanese when interacting with a Japanese colleague directly but everything else is in English. I have to work actively to improve my language skills.

I'm glad to hear you're happy but I hope you try to move to a company that will pay you what you're worth. For a software engineer and team leader, that's way more than ¥5M.

I've heard that salaries are on average much lower but companies offering competitive wages do exist. Like you said, you will have an easier time fitting in and earn more if you work for an international company rather than a Japanese one.

I'm a software engineer in an American tech company's Tokyo office with 1 yoe and have around ¥13M total comp.

Continuing the amazing course on https://www.nand2tetris.org/. I also received an HP microserver gen8 a few days ago and will be setting up a plex server with sonarr/radarr/ombi/etc...

Wow really? That's devilishly ingenious. Do you have examples of that?

It would have been much more interesting to report on tests of the algorithm on real data.

Because it's the mobile version of the site. That button doesn't appear on the desktop version.

I just graduated from Ecole Centrale Paris, usually second on engineering school rankings after Ecole Polytechnique. I found a job in web development in a small startup in November and am making ~45k a year.

Yeah but the teachers are in the US, giving classes over the internet.

The about the author section describes him as a "NSFW enthusiast". Aren't we all...
