I learned Linux when I was like 13 or 14 and not because my father told me. He didn't know much about computers in early 2000/late 90ties.
The curiosity, the desire to learn, the need to set up my own isp, the need to start to make money, the curiosity of how html, php and other stuff worked let me to Linux.
Teach them how to be curious and feed that curiosity, the rest will happen.
And if they choose Mac over Linux, just get of their way, otherwise they will rebel.
These agents aren't super smart: just few PDFs for context plus a few sentences system prompts.
I do get what I want in 80% of use cases (not measured, just a feeling).
Selfishly, would you mind sharing literature or blog posts that led you to this level of understanding of LLMs? I'm trying hard to understand the inner workings via experiments but definitely far behind your expertise.
Thanks
While problem is not trivial, my initial reaction was "it can't be 3, it's too obvious". And it seems that a lot of people in the comments here do get to the right answer on their own.
So, why not hundreds of reports?
As someone said here, I'm extremely grateful for free quality higher education I have received in my home country. And I'm saddened that many are in student debts for decades.
I'm grateful to be in the best health I've been in last 10 years.
I'm grateful to myself for quitting alcohol more than a year ago and sticking with it.
I'm grateful, for the first time, to feel financially stable for many years to come.
I'm grateful to United States of America for being our home and safe harbor for the past 10 years, especially last 3, given the global instability.
How I'm using narrative.bi: - A high-level report of WoW, and MoM changes on our website traffic that land in my email. - Alternative to GA4 UI, which drives me nuts.
What I don't get yet and I want to see implemented (I'll definitely pay for this): - Dimensional analysis: Which dimensions contribute to the topline change the most. I.e. Say unique users increased by 30% WoW, what top 5 dimensions have contributed to this change? Country? Device? Etc - Global event correlation: are there any global events that influence the metrics change? Maybe a holiday in the Country?

Weird idea, but I can't stop thinking about it work on a project from time to time.
Eventually, I want a random person be able to "lease" their old phone compute to my cluster for reward.
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: python, Go, NodeJs, AWS, Cloud, ML, Kubernetes, DevOps
Resume: my last position was a staff software engineer/director of engineering at People.ai (YC s16). Green Card holder. Soon US citizen. Hired and managed SF/Bay area based people.
I'm looking for a part-time (10-20h) position. Good at cloud architecture, building teams, fundraising at early stages.
Email: find me on LI https://LinkedIn.com/in/avysotski
I'm a full stack/data engineer and use third party components all the time. In fact, I'd choose a popular and maintained component for the job, instead of writing it myself. I have no issues using as many components as I need. This seems like a bad practice in mobile.
If I encounter a bug in my dependencies, I find it, fix and send the fix to the maintainer. The same as I would do with my own code.
I've been fighting with bad habits all my life. Sometimes successfully.
The social media addiction is the hardest to fight.
Here is what works for me (not at all times): 1. Remove social apps and only use browser 2. Enable two factor auth and only keep two factor app on your laptop 3. Change password using password generator and don't save it.
With all the above it makes it really hard to log into the social network.
Now when you are done with the social media app, replace it with something useful: I replaced it with Google Books, and now whenever I have an urge I open a book instead and read it. Much better than meaningless scrolling. Alternative app - Google Keep. I use it for writing blog posts.
For instance, in Belarus right now a lot of engineers seek to get out the country due to dictatorship regime. Poland and neighbourhood countries offer emergency visa plans for people in trouble (business harbour visa).
I think what happened is that GitLab started receiving a lot of emergency requests to be relocated immediately that did not comply the existing policy. Hence the update.
If I were to compare these projects: Hasura seems like a very well built and maintained project overall. With great documentation and easy to understand deployment process. I haven't hit any bottlenecks yet. I especially like the extensibility features such as webhooks. One major drawback for me is the language it is written in - haskell. Extending, patching, debugging will be hard in the future. I'm not even talking about hiring someone who knows haskell.
Postgraphile on the other hand is build on a more popular stack, but a less polished product in my opinion. Still does the job.
Also, for both hasura and postgraphile, I would like to see these projects support serverless deployments (aws lambda) out of the box. Is this something on your radar?
2. Resharper from Jetbrains and all IDEs from them. Using something like Eclipse was such a pain and nightmare.
3. Cloud and SaaS as a concept. Everything just became 10x better when moved to SaaS.
1) Write an article 2) Do not hesitate to make any kinds of mistakes 3) Give it to a proofreader/editor 4) Compare your version versus edited one 5) Learn 6) Repeat form #1
P.S. for proofreading i would recommend oDesk, 300Editors or Wordy.
