Anthem Blue cross pays $125-$150/hr. $80/hr is cheap.

They started slapping my kids hands, forcibly shoving him back in his chair, and grabbing my kids face and torquing his neck. Jon Paul Saunders, a leader in ABA, swore up and down 'this is the best in ABA'. When I looked at the data, my kid had all but stopped screaming/crying with other RBT's, but was more than double the crying/screaming with the rbt's doing the slap, push, face yank teqnique.

At this point, my son had done 18 months of ABA and was being used to train new RBT's (high turnover field of course). The prescribed hitting was creating behavioral problems at home, but was being used to justify extensive hours of ABA.

I dont think a profit driven model is great for these kids.

The last financial crisis was 2008. Are you saying there was a tech bubble in 2008? The economy can do bad in lots of sectors while others are gaining traction.

Just look at recent funding rounds?

Some people make art for the sake of art though.

Its silly to talk about a bubble when all of the major AI companies just recieved 3-5yrs runway in VC. I normally hate the term FUD, bit in this case it's proveably true. Even if these companies collapse in 5 years, thats a lifetime away in tech years, not an immediate bubble.

I dont think so. I run a VPN whitelabel and its parent company is based in China.

Having jobs like uber and Lyft available - self employed on your own time - are terrific stop gaps when people lose thier real job, or need a little extra for thier familly. Doing away with them will create a much worse society.

If there were a servbay.yaml file that a person could export & commit this would probably go down smoother from some folks.

If you added a feature to push/fetch and sync the local development database from an s3 (or like bucket) it would solve one of the real core problems of new developers getting started.

That nginx proxy probably works 99.999% of the time, but oh boy, is that .001% going to tick someone off. Proxy's always add a small layer of complexity that can fubar things in strange ways, i know from running many of proxies in production just fine until that tiny little app/proxy config change that borks it. I haven't dug in enough yet, but i hope it can be bypassed.

Ambitious project that I think has some legs. A lot of devs dislike docker and many teams struggle to use it well anyway (for instance, a good dev Dockerfile is usually not the same as a good production Dockerfile). You will need to make this more "IAC-like" if you want to beat it though, imho.

Keep going and good luck!

I personally think we are in the pre-broadband era of AI. That is, what is currently being built will contribute to some AI dot-com 1.0 bubble burst, but after that there will be some advancements in it's distribution model that will allow it to thrive and infiltrate our society at a core level. Right now it's a bunch of dreamers building the pets.com that no one asked for, but after all the competition is shaken off, there will definitely be some clear winners, and maybe an Amazon.com of sorts for AI that people will adopt.

I dont understand why I would use this. Can someone eli5?

Similar fear mongering when calculators came about. No one got dumber, we just got faster at doing simple math. WOrking out complex math will always be interesting to those who really want to do it, and the rest likely wont contribute mu ch anyway - thier just consumers. Let the kids have thier wordy calculators, it actually may unblock critical paths of success needed for someone to really go deep.

Until firefox fixes it's identity model it will never be useful for me, a systems engineer.

Yes, i'm aware of firefox profiles. it's implementation is hard to use and generally confusing. it requires going to secret pages, and quite frankly, i found it worked like hot garbage.

So, like, a public ss# tied to an address.

I used to work for Lark. They raised $140mm to solve this problem and the best they could do was a non-ai chatbot that whined at users for not eating enough vegetables. The Lark app has 100% user drop off in 60 days and yet is still the silicon darling in the diabetes space.

Your platform has more science & more solution than 100 engineers in 3 years could produce. Keep at it and know with confidence that there is great value in what you are building. I know it's not your primary goal, but this will be lucrative if you keep going. I wish you a lot of luck, this is very cool!

pile - a framework & cli for managing a large number of docker-compose files running on the same machine.

Inspired by a pile-of-poo SOA application where essentially every service was dependent other services such that the entire app stack needed to be run in order for any 1 service to work.

In addition to organizing the array of docker-compose files, which may live in different directories, i also add some helper functions to bring clarity to the usual docker cli output. Ugly "docker ps" output can be gathered by using pile ports, pile commands, & pile state - all of which output what you think they do, but in a way that is actually legible and useful when running 20+ containers locally.

It's only "intellectual theft" because we consider peoples thoughts their own property. On many levels, that doesn't really make sense to me.

Tons of historical documents have shown that inventions, mathematical proofs, and celestial observations were made by humans separated by continents and time. What that shows is that it is certainly possible for two persons to have the same exact or similar thought without ever having been influenced by the other.

The Return of common sense. Let's keep the trend going!

Author states its lower "Once tax incentives are factored in". As she is not my CPA, I must call BS.

Rayts. They bring rats. Lots of them. Ok if your in the countryside with big land and farms, horrible home infestation s if not.

O-Ran, the closed source that begins with O for open naturally, is really terrifying in terms of spying on users and sharing data.

My personal tinfoil hat says the corporations started the 5G cancer rumors themselves to distract the public from the real terror of 5G that is ORan data sharing.

The tl;dr is any participant in Oran can put software directly on the antena and access your data directly with no need for it to go through a 3rd party like your cell provider. The cell providers charge for access to the antenna. This sidestep any potentially conflict with selling your data - by choosing a 5g cell phone, you have already opted in to your data being accessed. Creepy.

My feed is less than 5% people posted content now anyway because friends and familly stopped posting. Ultimately, everyone posting was a fad that has faded, and we're moving back to curated content again.

Want a partner to help build it? Count me in.

The reason an article like this are so irritating is because it has such a narrow view of peoples capabilities and diminishes folks that dont fit in a narrow spectrum.

I worked at a company that took 3 years to migrate a few services across k8s clusters, a task that would normally take me just 3 months. They he-hawed because I hadn't learned to write go though, so they thought I was the retard somehow. No one could run the entire app locally but me, but I don't write Java.

The moral is, different engineers have different strengths, and if your running around thinking people are zero's - the problem is likely with leadership, and not the IC. In this case, the author seems like a week, inexperienced leader, not a great engineer.

I disagree. The author calls some engineers zeros and i have never actually met a zero engineers, but i sure have seen egalitarean price treat people like that and subsequently get no output. That's a failure of the author/engineers leader, not an IC.

Have you ever seen a group of individually strong engineers accomplish nothing because they spent all thier time fighting and/or building technically correct stuff that has no business use case? I sure have.

And likewise, I have seen technically weak engineers who are capable of getting along with others deliver great output with high business value.

Imho, the fact the author calls some engineers "0's" is the type of egalitarian douchenozzelry that I have seen bring entire teams to a halt, and why I think the author comes off as a blow hard. If you think any person is a zero, the more likely truth is you don't know how to properly asses a person's skills and put them to use where they fit - and that's an eng leadership failure, not an ic failure.

Lol....90% of senior engineers are trolls when it comes to code review.

Learn to write tests and apply a code linter. You will have joined the élite top 10% for doing so. Good luck!

So, basically he wants to do everything that was in the ACLU post that the article started to critisize....just now he gets to whine about 'the liberals' while doing so.

Gawd, these hate filled people are insufferable.

The author conveniently forgets that Natives had no concept of land ownership, only land use. Stop using the land and you no longer had any rights to it - it wasn't something 'passed down'.

This is a fun problem to see on here (for me) - because I solved a lot of these problems at my last company when I built them a dev enviroment that ran over 30 services, and growing.

It was written as a makefile that wrapped docker compose commands, but that's just because it was the easiest to mvp.

I considered it a "framework for running a large collection of containers locally".

I solved the ports issue by using env vars like a switchboard, with an iPortService=<inside container port> and oPortService=<outside network port unique to network-layer>

Then i used two directories, one for a data layer that ran datastores, and one for app, for apps. You controlled the layers as groups.

You could operate the layers separately, initialize the dbs, and also reset their storage state definitely.

Then I had to solve the "docker ps" output problem, since its unreadable. So, i just split it to 3 commands: state,ports, & running. It outputs what you expect.

I should re-write it into better code and open source it. It was fun to build.

Car Thing is a physical device that looks alike a 7" tablet with a giant knob/button sticking off the face. It originally only did Spotify, ow it can do other stuff I guess.
