The G14 definitely matches in build or exceeds in build quality, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and display. Battery life is shorter though. But it has a better GPU and supports Linux, which is way more important to me than an hour or two extra battery.
The Framework is also excellent, but with different compromises: that sweet display aspect ratio for instance, but no OLED.
Every day, millions of people read content checked by Acrolinx. Our AI platform ensures that what companies publish is accurate, on-brand, and high-quality. You'll join the team building the next generation of these language-aware services. You'll work in python, integrating LLMs, optimizing performance, and delivering features to customers ranging from Fortune 500s to startups.
You should have:
3+ years of Python (HTTP APIs, relational/NoSQL, experience with a cloud platform like AWS/GCP/Azure)
Strong grasp of system design, algorithms, data structures, and testing.
Experience with LLMs and a desire to build products utilizing them.
Bonus (not required): Experience with any of the following - PyTorch, Hugging Face, FastAPI, Docker/K8s, async Python, Temporal/Airflow. Experience integrating LLMs into products.
We're a small, remote-first team working in cross-functional squads. If you're excited about building AI-powered products, let's talk: recruiting-mb@acrolinx.com
These are terrible examples that don't prove a single thing. Babel, Webpack, and React all used leftpad as dependencies. Blaming someone for using an Apache project is absurd.
Here's my pointless randomly made up on the spot anecdote - you're more likely to write a vulnerability in your own logging system than being impactedby using a widely adopted opensource one.
It sounds like you don't have an appreciation for software complexity.
What starts off as a simple write() call balloons into a complex system as it evolves to meet your needs. Only then will we know if a great developer was behind the wheels, by how easy it is for the next person in job of maintaining and extending the system to fuck something up due to a lack of context and experience.
Another sign of a real 10x engineer is an even temperament and a lack of arrogance, as being a team player is important in any environment. You can't be a 10x engineer in a vacuum.
Yeah, the warzone will be the final judge, no doubt, this is just cheap talk.
> a real 10x engineer is an even temperament and a lack of arrogance
Super subjective, but I see the 10x engineer as being arrogant, you have got to if you are really 10 times above your peers. Although it's true that some arrogance might come from a place of insecurity. Someone who is truly leagues above someone else will not berate them for being below, they will encourage them to improve or palliate them. Pointing out how the other is worse and they are better is argumentative, which usually a 10x anything doesn't need.
You're confusing confidence and arrogance. Confidence can be misplaced, or maybe hard-won through experience. But arrogance never has a place in a team. If you go around thinking you're 10x better than your peers, you're massively selling yourself short and I can bet you the rest of the engineers do not feel the same way about you.
> Pointing out how the other is worse and they are better is argumentative, which usually a 10x anything doesn't need
I'll be honest, this post is a bit incomprehensible. You say a good engineer has to be arrogant, then go on to claim how such an attitude can be combative. Pick one argument, not two conflicting arguments.
You sound young. I understand that youth can sometimes lead to the kind of arrogant thinking in your comments, but real wisdom will start coming whenever you realize how this kind of thinking looks to others, stop making comparisons, and try to learn from everyone on your team.
I just did a pass with some replacements with o1 and it very much still recognized it as the Einstein riddle and actually seems to have cheated a bit :)
"Revisiting assumptions
Considering "Camels" might be a mistake for "Kools," leading to confusion. This inconsistency complicates solving the puzzle, showing the need for careful brand assignment."
Tracking puzzle progress
I’m mapping out various house and nationality combinations, but the classic conclusion is the Norwegian drinks water and the Japanese owns the zebra.
Analyzing the arrangement
I’m working through the classic puzzle structure and noting variations, while consistently identifying the Norwegian drinking water and the Japanese owning the zebra as the final solution."
Hah, that's fun. My o3-mini-high transcript didn't hint that it recognized the puzzle and looked legit when I scanned through them, but I'm still very suspicious since this is evidently such a classic puzzle.
I should have changed the cigarette brands to something else too.
If you want to make a cosmetic change to the puzzle, you might try eliminating the massive quantity of implicit information in "the green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house".
After doing some substitutions on what it means to be in positions 1/2/3/4/5:
A. If the ivory house is in London, the green house is in Madrid.
B. If the ivory house is in Madrid, the green house is in Kiev.
C. If the ivory house is in Kiev, the green house is in Oslo.
D. If the ivory house is in Oslo, the green house is in Tokyo.
E. The ivory house is not in Tokyo.
9. Milk is drunk in Kiev.
11(A). If the man who smokes Chesterfields lives in Tokyo, the man with the fox lives in Oslo.
12(A). If the man with the horse lives in Oslo, Kools are smoked in either Tokyo or Kiev.
15(A). If the blue house is in Madrid, the Norwegian lives either in London or in Kiev.
[...]
Another easy change is to exchange categories. Swap the animals for the drinks and instead of "the Spaniard owns the dog" and "the Ukrainian drinks tea", you'll have "the Spaniard drinks tea" and "the Ukrainian owns the fox" (depending on which equivalences you decide on). It won't make any difference to the puzzle, but it will permute the answer.
Try flipping the order, adding a few nonsense steps and combining 2 steps into one and also splitting a single step into two. And then see what happens and post it here. :-)
I'm not sure what's going on with TabbyAPI's github metrics, but exl2 quants are very popular among nvidia local LLM crowd and TabbyAPI comes in tons of reddit posts of people using it. Might be just my bubble, not saying they're not accurate, just generally surprised such a useful project has under 1k stars. On the flip side, LLMs will hallucinate about TabbyML if you ask it TabbyAPI related questions, so I'd agree the naming is unfortunate.
Not outsourcing at all - you're are an engineer using the tools that make sense to solve a problem. The core issue with identifying as just a coder is that code is just one of many potential tools to solve a problem.
So your customer/employer is a coder too. They want solve a problem and use a tool: You.
A coder writes code in a programming language, that what distinguishes them from the customers who use natural language. The coder is the translator between the customer and the machine. If the machine does that, the machine is the coder.
Is your customer bringing you the solution to the problem or the problem and asking you to solve the problem? One is a translation activity and the other isn't.
Looking forward Nuclear isn’t moving the needle. Solar grew more in 2023 alone than nuclear has grown since 1995. Worse nuclear can’t ramp up significantly in the next decade simply due to construction bottlenecks. 40 years ago nuclear could have played a larger role, but we wasted that opportunity.
It’s been helpful, but suggesting it’s going to play a larger role anytime soon is seriously wishful thinking at this point.
We’ve made dams long before we knew about electricity. At which point tacking hydropower to a dam that would exist either way has basically zero environmental impact.
Pure hydropower dams definitely do have significant environmental impact.
I just don't get the premise of your argument. Are you honestly saying that stopping the normal flow of water has no negative impact on the ecosystem? What about the area behind the dam that is now flooded? What about the area in front of the dam where there is now no way to traverse back up stream?
Maybe your just okay and willing to accept that kind of change. That's fine, just as some people are okay with the risk of nuclear, the use of land for solar/wind. But to just flat out deny that it has impact is just dishonest discourse at best
It’s the same premise as rooftop solar. You’re building a home anyway so adding solar panels to the roof isn’t destroying pristine habitat.
People build dams for many reasons not just electricity.
Having a reserve of rainwater is a big deal in California, Texas, etc. Letting millions of cubic meters more water flow into the ocean would make the water problems much worse in much of the world. Flood control is similarly a serious concern. Blaming 100% of the issues from dams on Hydropower is silly if outlawing hydropower isn’t going to remove those dams.
History is a great reference, but it doesn't solve our problems now. Just because hydro has prevented more CO2 until now doesn't mean that plus solar are the combination that delivers abundant, clean energy. There are power storage challenges and storage mechanisms aren't carbon neutral. Even if we assume that nuclear, wind, and solar (without storage) all have the same carbon footprint - I believe nuclear is less that solar pretty much equivalent to wind - you have to add the storage mechanisms for scenarios where there's no wind, sun, or water.
All of the above are significantly better than burning gas or coal - but nuclear is the clear winner from an CO2 and general availability perspective.
Seriously scaling nuclear would involve batteries. Nuclear has issues being cost effective at 80+% capacity factors. When you start talking sub 40% capacity factors the cost per kWh spirals.
The full cost of operating a multiple nuclear reactor for just 5 hours per day just costs more than a power plant at 80% capacity factor charging batteries.
I meant even if you’re operating nuclear as baseload power looking forward the market rate for electricity looks rough without significant subsidies.
Daytime you’re facing solar head to head which is already dropping wholesale rates. Off peak is mostly users seeking cheap electricity so demand at 2AM is going to fall if power ends up cheaper at noon. Which means nuclear needs to make most of its money from the duck curve price peaks. But batteries are driving down peak prices.
Actually cheap nuclear would make this far easier, but there’s no obvious silver bullet.
That just goes to show how incredibly short sighted humanity is. We new about the risk of massive CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels but just ignored it while irrationally demonizing nuclear energy because it is scawy. If humans were sane and able to plan earth would be getting 100% of all electricity from super-efficient 7th generation nuclear reactors.
CO2 issues aside, it's just outright safer than all forms of coal and gas and about as safe as solar and wind, all three of which are a bit safer than hydro (still very safe).
I agree costs could have dropped significantly, but I doubt 100% nuclear was ever going to happen.
Large scale dams will exist to store water, tacking hydroelectric on top of them is incredibly cost effective. Safety wise dams are seriously dangerous, but they also save a shocking number of lives by reducing flooding.
I wasn’t imply it would, just covering the very short term.
Annual production from nuclear is getting passed by wind in 2025 and possibly 2024. So just this second it’s possibly #1 among wind, solar and nuclear but they are all well behind hydro.
In a world where nuclear power helped with climate change, would also be a world where Teslas would eliminate a good chunk of harmful pollution by allowing cars to be moved by nuclear, so not sure what point you were trying to make.
Even at this minute, Teslas are moving around powered by nuclear power.
