A sustainable phone operator career, for when all this “world wide web” thing blows over
No one hates msft more than me, but there’s no way you think this one data point is useful to explain anything at all
I just noticed that it’s a config option. Weird that it’s so short though, I can understand why it may be needed for users who spawn hundreds of sessions a day
Isn’t “Anthropic won’t fix it” a little sensational for barely month old issue with little activity(two upvotes, one of which is me), in backlog of 5k+? Agree that it’s a real issue that need fixing however
The link sharing platform is full of people interested in sharing links, that makes sense, similar to how a mall would be full of people interested in shopping
What definition of “often” includes a 0.21% rate?
I dont uninstall apps that annoy me with notifications, but I do disable them. Most of my notifications these days are news or texts. So be it

In light of recent concerns about hantavirus, but more importantly, the outbreaks of measles popping up because the antivaxxer movement is growing, I am wondering, what, as an adult can I do day to day to ensure that my immune system is safe from any wanton disease (to the extent it can be). Any checkups that are beneficial that I may be missing?
Or create "blind" benchmarks.
10 groups of 3 researchers, all have their own benchmarks that they do not share (testing it without the authors knowing is a different problem, maybe they only run the benchmarks when the gen-pop has access to the models).
that's 10 different tests. Aggregate pass rates
“Exam Question: {prompt}” was enough to get me the right answer on whatever model you get with logged-out ChatGPT.
Neither prompt was enough for llama3.3 or gpt-oss-120b
Pydantic + FastAPI are my two favorite python shops right now, they’re always dropping fun new projcts
The PhD can't read minds, the quality if the request from a moron would be worse than the quality of the request from someone with avg intelligence. And the output would probably noticeably differ accordingly
I guess we’ll be rebuilding society from scratch anyways
It depends on if the people with weapons can find the people with food. With no rule of law, everything is on the table. Warlords still exist in many parts of the world today
Search/Data in general is incomplete and doesnt match the heatmap. Good idea though
makes sense, I didnt know you could have multiple (learned in this thread)
I’m wary ofhardware 2fa because I’m prone to losing things. Do you have a plan for if that happens?

I am acutely aware that if I were targeted by a non sophisticated actor (like a very motivated hacker, or a phone/laptop thief with programming knowledge), I would be toast if they figured out, e.g my windows password, as that is the key to my Chrome keychain, for e.g, which allows them into a pandora's box of accounts.Even more likely, if I were to get a laptop stolen while unlocked, they...
The take home assignment is to create a web service that changes the color of a cube, hardly anything cutting edge. Do you expect to be paid for coding interviews too?
Click the link of the take home and tell me if you expect it to take you more than 20 minutes. I don’t understand the resections here
I wonder if the people replying bothered to look at the take home question. I wish I had an interview like that, it would be the second easiest interview I’ve ever done in my life, and then task is interesting and easy to me, as someone who just started learning unity a week ago
> Hi, I’d like to work for your company
> Great, state your price and availability
If match:
> create a simple project(<1 hour of work) that demonstrates familiarity with technologies that will be used on the job.
If done, check for team fit.
This is toxic to you???
Seems like a self fulfilling prophecy
Coming into the thread(and general discussion about chatgpt being used as evidence) with this context, I’m confused about the reactions to this. Online activity has been used as evidence as far as I remember. OpenAI also has a couple high profile cases against them with chatgpt history used as the primary evidence
classes are optional in python, does that violate the spirit?
That's ~6% of the 9M. Not nothing but not a glaring amount. I'm seeing that there are 1.7M total SWEs in the US, which would bring the H1B % to 30%, assuming all are SWEs. This would make it a significant amount, not sure if it's enough to suppress wages / pass on US persons if they attempted it.
One look at the top H1B employers should stop this narrative however, because those companies do not pay near peanuts.

It’s an absurd statement because you are human and are aware of how research works on an individual level.
Take yourself outside of that, and imagine you invented earth, added an ecosystem, and some humans. Wheels were invented ~6k years ago, and “humans” have existed for ~40-300k years. We can do the same for other technologies. As a group, we are incredibly inefficient, and an outside observer would see our efforts at building societies and failing to be “brute force”
This is a multi billion dollar ecosystem with no regulators but themselves. Basically state level capacity. Guns are small time for them if they decided to enter the arms market fully. My biggest guess is that the threat of having the biggest military in the world as their neighbor is the only thing stopping them (missiles are much bigger priorities than narcotics)
