Do you happen to know if that one is hiring for anything at the moment? Left to solve problems at that pace, I'm pretty sure I could do some great things for them.


Most remote work gigs are basically this.


There are absolutely places where you are chained to the computer in remote positions this is a culture thing not how work is done. We have a nice culture and we are hiring, sadly not remote anymore.

I do not think it actually affects productivity in either way. What happens is that people seem to feel better.


I designed the wedding ring for my wife, so I had a specific ring in mind to see how well it would do. I used the prompt:

A titanium ring with wavy rails on the sides, incorporating flowers in the middle of the band, where the wavy rails move farthest away from each other. The flowers should be a lily, sunflower, and then a spot for a gem, followed by a lily, sunflower, and then a spot for a gem and then a sunflower. The flowers should be evenly spaced around the whole band.

And it got the basics right, looked good, but it put the gem settings between the flowers, where the wavy rails were closest together. I tried several attempts at putting prompts in the "How should we modify this?" box such as "No, the gem settings should be where the flowers are, but every other flower" and "Don't put the gem settings at the points where the wavy edges are closest together" and it just failed hilariously. No matter how I phrased it, it kept putting the gem settings where the rails were closest together. After three (or it might have been four) attempts I gave up.

I could have explained the entire ring to a jeweler in a short paragraph, and any issues with it could be fixed in a sentence or two. I'm not sure why I need a frustrating middleman. And don't feel bad, this applies to nearly everything I use built on LLMs.

It's a cute toy, but boy are LLMs not remotely ready for production anything. I didn't even bother to give it the other aspects of the ring because if it can't get one of the most basic things in four tries of exceedingly clear language, then why would I keep going?

Thank you this is extremely helpful and now fixed


If you want to be sure that a USB to SATA adapter will work with anything, get the style that has the power on a completely separate cable that plugs into the wall.


https://youtu.be/acKYYwcxpGk here's a citation for that being possible, in case anyone's interested. Also has some of the methods posted on github from what I remember.



What is this drivel? This is a half-baked article that should be called "Here's some names of two hacker groups and a barely-formed thought about naming hacking groups."


I guess I'm the only one that wants a 17" with a 2k+ screen because the more I can fit on the screen at once, the more I can do while mobile.


I'm not sure they were being serious.


This isn't news. Why on earth would anyone think it was better than this?

If you want time more accurate than 50ms, there are tons of options. NTP is not remotely one that any competent scientist or engineer would employ. This is basically the equivalent of saying "I've looked into it, and Toyota Corollas do not have a 0 - 60 time of less than one second." - and that would be the answer to why no one is talking about it.


Then why should any company even use/have jira


Jira/etc is not necessary, sufficient or even particularly effective for managing engineering work... but I've never had real success convincing managers of this unless they already thought like this. Changing somebody's fundamental approach to leadership is hard!


You'd obsolete 30% of tech 'work' without it. Unless you're a shareholder why would you want to cut bloat?
