What made you check that

Nit: Mostly the octave and the fifth in Indian music. Thirds aren't as much of a structural pillar.

Tracks, I guess. MSDS@UCSD, MSA@GT, MSCS@CMU all got jobs at meta, IBM, amazon. First two in the bay, third one as well I think. MSCS@NCSU got an internship at amazon but did not get full time yet. MS…

My point was that H1B hiring still seems strong. Despite the fees and stuff. Otherwise yeah what you're saying makes sense.

Meta MLE hiring seems to still be going strong. They recently picked up a whole slew of people - all H1B - from one of the UCSD labs to work at HQ.

Majority of data in typical message-passing plumbing code are a combination of opaque IDs, nominal strings, few enums, and floats. It's mostly OK for these cases, I have found. Esp. in typed lang…

> were created by well-intentioned researchers who were subsequently shocked to find their work applied to military oh please. Most scientific development especially root-node stuff has been funded…

Yep. Especially for tests with mock data covering all sorts of extreme edge cases.

Oh sure the quality is extremely unreliable and I am not a fan of its style of coding either. Requires quite a bit of hand holding and sometimes it truly enrages me. I am just saying that LLM technolo…

I am not talking about using an LLM to make code reusable in the sense youre arguing. My point is that the very act of training an LLM on any corpus of code, automatically makes all of that code reusa…

A library is a collection of data structures functions. My argument still holds. > Syntactic reuse would be macros Well sure. My point is that what can be reused is decided ahead of time and encode…

Oh come on, you don't have to be condescending about function calls. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47260385 …

When you make a function f(a, b, c) It is reusable only if simply changing a, b, c is enough to give the function that you want. Options object etc _parameterise_ that function. It is useful o…

True, but in general the QR -> link thing you mentioned is genuinely a nightmare. Especially when it also passes through a URL shortener first. I've seen that happen all the time. They use the…

No. You don't scan the QR with your camera or whatever. You open the app and scan it inside there. And there's no website. Only mobile apps in devices where attestation and full device/…

Its not gibberish text. Its just a URI. upi://pay?pa=payeeID&pn=payeeName You can add things like &am= to prefill the amount. Merchant txns have reference IDs and all that stu…

This is the key. Personally I think you just have to something similar to an auditor or whatever. Demand that if a self driving taxi operates in your city, they assign one legally responsible person p…

One other reason STT and OCR (checkout sarvam vision demo on their website, extremely good!) is the focus is to use it to build indian language datasets that can then be used to train larger LLMs than…

Why doesn't it make sense to target america2,3 though? What's a reason that wouldn't also apply to india2,3?

Doesn't this mean you get siloed economies? That is, the people below the 70th percentile have their own (maybe multiple) ecosystems? Quite similar to india1,india2 and india3 in the late 2010s. …

Note that there is no difference in the model or in the training. The only thing needed to convert ios photos into one that IDs people is access to a database mapping name to image. The IDing part is …

After the literal first one which just measured distance between nose and mouth and stuff like that from the 1960s, everything else has been based on AI. If my memory serves me, we had a PCA and LDA b…

Yeah, and it forces kids to need to do "activities" to even see other kids. Makes proper development for kids much more expensive than the essentially free "existing alongside other kid…

Yes, this is closer to my take: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44098431

America doesn't defend taiwan for its semiconductors - it's all american IP anyways. They defend it for the same reason they defend japan and Phillipines - to control the pacific "front…

> grew up around music Yep, and it's not just a childhood thing. At any age, simply listening to a lot of vocal music (with very light accompaniment) helps a ton in improving your singing (alo…

Being able to sing on pitch is more music training than voice training. Music can be trained in any voice pretty much. As for vocal range - it is one of the easiest ones to improve! Simple daily drill…

That is for Capex. Govt can always easily spend Capex, but Opex has to be covered by the users, whether its roads or trains.
