You must be very young. There most likely will be periods in your life when you will be less productive because you have other responsibilities or health issues and new (coughs young people) have very few of both. If a company or your government aren't there to help and support you then what the point of a society even is? To protect rich people's assets?

I eventually settled on DockDoor and a custom HS script that imitates Window's LRU behaviour.

Sorry, I meant ubar : https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/ubar-4-toolbar-for-mac

IMO, this isn't priced competitively: * Mbar can be had for $15 on stacksocial * Sidebar is $21 w/ lifetime updates * DockDoor is free and OSS

This. There are really two explanations here. Either the US hasn't been a democracy in the first place. Or the majority of the US voters prefer autocratic amoral psychopaths running their country.

What socialist policies? Did we get free healthcare or free higher education or subsidized government housing and food and I somehow missed all of that? Did the government suddenly start focusing on economic inequality first and foremost and eliminated all institutional racism?

The US as it stands right exhibits quite a few hallmarks of fascism rather socialism: amalgamation of the capital and the state, marginalization of minorities, an extreme abuse of power, extreme nationalism. One of the tenets of socialism is that the worker class has no state, that it can only work if the workers of all nations unite, that's the exact opposite of nationalism.

the only common thing I can think of between the soviet flavor of socialism and Trump's administration is that both are authoritarian.

The parent doesn't mention FAANG at all.

> The word balance never came up. Probably why it’s considered one of the worst places to work for. Works well when you are a small company that is trying to attract talent to build great things with the promise of big rewards. Doesn’t actually work that well when you’re trying to keep an established company stable and don’t offer much in return. If all you can offer is mediocre pay and a threat of PIP if I don’t work 60+ hours, I’d rather stay unemployed.

In his next comment he explicitly confirms he wasn't even comparing to the FAANG companies but to his very own "crème de la crème" set of companies.

> I’m not sure what you mean by FAANG standards, but Meta and Netflix both pay way more and Google and Apple pay similar if not more with waaay better work culture. Tech companies of the last decade like Uber, DoorDash, Block, Snap, Airbnb, Snowflake etc. all pay more than Amazon while the new generation of AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are not even comparable. The only way you would consider Amazon pay to be very good is if you come from Microsoft or one of the old school companies like Cisco and IBM. I would put Amazon pay as middle of the pack or mediocre.

That was the context and this context was just so unrealistic and absurd.

I find it insane there are folks who unironically claim Amazon's pay is mediocre when there's only a handful of companies that pay more and Amazon's pay L5/6 is 2+x of the higher end of the the average for a senior eng.

Good for them, I guess, but also has nothing to do with the reality

I'm sorry, I was hoping my msg would come across more humorous than insulting.

Pytorch-related articles do surface to the frontpage pretty often, but I might just be more attuned to notice this stuff.

alias grep=rg ? Given that Claude Code is intelligent enough to use --help for cases where rg's flags aren't compatible with grep, it might just work well enough

Only if you have been living under the rock for the last 5+ years. Pytorch/torch is one of the most used ML libraries out there. Many torch-related products are named in this way: torchvision, torchaudio, torch elastic, torchrun etc

This just reeks of bigotry or at they least of disingenuousness

Nuclear and chemical weapons, artillery were invented by West. The US remains (hopefully continues so) the only country that used the nuclear weapons against another country. All defunct European powers routinely engaged in slave trade, drug trade, ethnic cleansing (in very inventive ways sometimes as the Americans nearly exterminating the entire bison population which was the main food source for Native Peoples).

Because it was in many ways, the same as a generation before that and one before that.

40+yy ago, HIV was still a death sentence, lung cancer slid to the 3-4th position in CODs caused by cancer. Late 90s saw the introduction of gene therapies. New drugs for diabetes and heart disease came to the market. These aren't small incremental QoL improvements; these advancements saved millions of lives since then.

All this progress should be celebrated, not trivialized

This. This narrative about feeling guilty gets repeated so often, I'm starting to think there might some conspiracy going on here.

They actually say in the announcement, it's supposed to be rolled out "later this year."

I really hope it won't be delayed

Each year, fewer and fewer Motorola phones actually support this feature over usb-c and it looks like they renamed it to "Smart Connect."

Shame, I liked it very much since Samsung phones are expensive

I'm really excited about the Desktop mode, now I can finally break free of Samsung!

I also think it's a very poor choice of words. If Sovietization meant introducing inefficiencies and bureaucracy in the egg supply chain, this is not even remotely what the article claims is going on here: the eggs producers are very intentionally (rather than incompetently or bureaucratically) throttling the egg production because it's more profitable to produce less If the authors meant monopolization of the egg supply, well, that's also pretty far from being uniquely a Soviet phenomenon.

It was a really dumb thing to bring up and it chips away at the authors' credibility.

Edits: grammar

I'm in NorthCal, they usually have some supply in the first few hours of opening

Have you not seen Harris' campaign ads? They did a full 180 on immigration, gun rights to ponder to more conservative voters.

Those ads were so incongruent, they got featured on one of post-election "Daily Show" episodes.

What else would you blame? The air pollution ramped up with China opening up to capital markets. China has fewer social programs than Canada and many more powerful private companies than EU. Calling China communist doesn't make it any more true than me calling myself the Queen of England.

I bought a Beelink Ser6Max (7735hs) model on my trip to China in 2023. I'm using it for a NAS (a mini PC + a 4-bay DAS) I couldn't be more happier. My watt meter says the box sips 13-15W when idle in stark contrast to my desktop "oven" which usually goes up 250-300W even without GPUs. I loaded it with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB nvme (out of which I use 1 for a zfs cache for my DAS) running Ubuntu (no proxmos). It's running 20-40 containers behind a nginx instance and I didn't run into perf issues yet. It really is a set-and-forget little machine.

The only slightly annoying thing is that there's only one thunderbolt port and it's being used by the DAS. For some reason, the DAS doesn't work on a USB3.1. Otherwise, I'd love to plug eGPU in and use for simpler AI tasks such as CV in immich and RAGs on some repos.

The app looks pretty cool! Congratulations, OP!!

If you don't need a web UI, I'd strongly recommend rclone (https://rclone.org/) that can layer e2e encryption over many and I mean MANY cloud storage providers!

It runs on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android.

Finally, it has some nifty features as "union" which combines multiple backends into a single directory view.

As if companies weren't doing it to prospective hires including but not limited to * Fake job postings[1] * Unpaid take-home assignments that take days to finish to only then never hear back from a company[2] * Ridiculously gruelling interview loops

Don't get me even started that the cost of a wasted hour is MUCH more devastating to someone unemployed vs your multi-billion fortune 500 corp.

+1, Andrey is an amazing educator! I'd also recommend his https://youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY?si=mP0cQlQ4rcceL2uP and checking out his github repos. MinGPT, for example, implements a small gpt model that's compatible with HF API, whereas more modern nanoGPT shows how to use newer features such as flash attention. The quality of every video, every blog post is just so high.

This is my favourite text! It really drove home a lot points on many architectures for me. Their math appendix is simply amazing as well!

For bypassing carrier restrictions, one could simply use termux + tinyproxy.

pkg install tinyproxy

cat > tt.conf Port 8888 Listen 0.0.0.0 Timeout 600 #Allow by default allows clients with any IP

^D

tinyproxy -d -c tt.conf # -d means no daemon

and whatever you fancy on the client side.

The trick is to disable WiFi internet and use data on a phone and then connect to client's hotspot, so client can use the proxy on the phone.

I'd look into AppSmith, Budibase or any other low-code tools. IMO, they hit a sweet spot for me.

BYD already has great affordable and plain-looking EVs. If we were less fixated on a high-3-digit range, geopolitics and/or profits, we would've had them too.

You could use dislocker on Linux.
