if you double click the coreml file in a mac and open xcode there is a profiler you can run. the profiler will show you the operations it's using and what the bit depth is.

Not having a congested CGNAT in the mix at 4pm every day is a nice benefit.

Why shouldn't I get my cut, then? Why do they get to double dip? The point of the dash cam is that the data is ephemeral unless it's actually needed because something exceptional happened.

has the author never seen a young che guevara, fidel castro, or joseph stalin?

Big companies tend to have Staff/Principal/Distinguished type roles. Usually those roles give you a lot of independence. But that independence means you need to be able to find projects to do and advocate for them and get them staffed and planned and executed and out to production. Often those projects can span many teams and multiple organizations, depending on how the company is structured. So I suppose the most valuable skill is being able to earn the trust of the managers so that you're able to even get them to listen to you so your stuff ends up on their roadmap.

so i do sympathize with a lot of the negative sentiments about the role here in this thread, and i think that in general there is a lot of navel gazing about the staff+ tech ic roles, there is an actual place for them as tech leads of large projects.

Giving them a lot of money surely isn't going to motivate them to work harder.

isnt that the reason we give ceos lots of money?

Even for professional developers I am not buying this argument. I think there is an argument to be made that we actually don't know how to work with these tools effectively and repeatably yet. But as the tools improve and we figure out the processes more that may change. It might not too, but I am leaning more toward it working better when we figure out how to use it than not.

e: Not a q for parent, but maybe for others. Are we supposed to be making a distinction between "vibe coding" and "coding with an AI agent"? What is the difference?

Why would that happen when they can have mandatory 50 hour work weeks?

"deserve" has nothing to do with it.

and that's why you don't listen to only a single source of news.

Find multiple, ideally both geographic as well as political alignment.

Easy to say in the abstract, harder to do when many "credible" sources toe the line and the ones that don't are discredited as "state sponsored news" or worse.

how so?

I've been messing with this for a few days now so I'm not going to claim to be any sort of expert but as someone who has been coding for more than 20 years I do appreciate the set it and forget it nature of being able to throw q developer or whatever at a relatively simple problem that I'm curious about and let it crank away for half an hour while i'm working on something else. I've tried it on a couple of reasonably small and well defined problems, mainly focusing on python, and it works surprisingly well. It'll run the scripts and fix errors and can suggest prompt improvements. I've also tried it in a large codebase with much less success, so YMMV.

Also it is important to be able to review the code because it could be the case that it looks mostly correct but has some subtle errors in it that can mislead you. For example I was trying a couple of different ways of computing some indices that have a bunch of variables and one way had a mask that made no sense involved. "Vibe coding" without being able to check the work of an LLM is almost certain to go poorly, IOW.

It does strike me that video encoding blog posts that show up here are often these kinda toxic rants that seemingly exaggerate whatever it is they're ranting about and also assume the people working on these things are complete morons for missing whatever minute detail the author is angry about.

ok

Why would it be a solution? It's just painting over the cracks.

So this person has a few good reasons (and one bad one) and instead of doing some deeper analysis on those reasons they come up with

The most important story about why Americans have become sad and alienated and rude, I believe, is also the simplest: We inhabit a society in which people are no longer trained in how to treat others with kindness and consideration.

And then spends like 2000 words talking about training people to be more polite as a solution. What an awful article.

The top comment in this thread highlights the astonishing sums of money the shareholders were taking from the company. If you think the workers are to blame for the state of their finances you are either ignoring the facts or you are in here dishonestly trying to push a narrative.

Amazing that you decide it's the workers who deserve your contempt and not the executives and shareholders who stripped the copper from the walls.

People would be too happy. We need them miserable and desperate.

Why is it advantageous though? Surely the behaviors of managers are incentivised by something.

... There is no AI or anything that can do your laundry or dishes. There is AI that can do your hobby. That's literally all the quote is pointing out.

You can talk about how capitalism ruins art, sure, but that's a different topic than the quote.

Plastics, climate change, we have a number of these problems that get worse over a long enough time scales that there is no incentive for the people in charge of our economy to fundamentally change their behavior. I find "economics will solve this" arguments really dubious.

Isn't this actually one of the benefits of capitalism ?

Is it a benefit if that efficiency turns your industrialized economy into a financialized economy that can't manufacture enough bullets to fight a war that you start?

That’s helping to reduce system costs.

Costs go down, prices go up every 6 months. Can't explain that.

not looking for a job at this time but i do this kind of work - what is the name of the team that you are working on / typically works on this?

i think the video might be out of sync, the lowest note seems to drift from what the video is displaying. Threw me for a bit of a loop when i was trying to find some of the higher notes striking in the video.

8-12 attempts to get the color seems to be the range i tend to land in.

Most researchers agree that consciousness is somehow related to the electrical activity of brains. Some go further and propose that brains’ electromagnetic fields actually are conscious.

I am not knowledgeable at all here so I'm just going to talk out of my butt for a second but this seems testable. Does disrupting the electromagnetic fields in the brain disrupt consciousness?

I'm not particularly knowledgeable on this either but it strikes me that women (or woman-presenting) are on average more sexualized in media and are expected to be sexualized. Whereas men and male-presenting people don't have the same expectations so they aren't sexuality-first, person second.

So I think there's some ideal there in your statement that's on the nose, anybody can express their sexuality without some societal baggage, but that's not how it is today.
