I'm a software engineer and sometimes manager. Currently #Raleigh but also #Seattle. Building ML platform for a healthcare startup. Previously, built an IoT platform for one of "those" companies.

Open source: dura, fossil, Jump-Location, Moq.AutoMock, others

Do I have other interests? No, but I do have kids and they have interests. I think that counts for something. I can braid hair and hunt unicorns!

Insurance is sticking us with an $800 bill for COVID tests administered in 2021, when tests were free. They’re reimbursing us $34 to pay an $800 bill

Today, I threw all of my historical blog content at a local instance of an LLM, to see how it would fare at writing stuff for me. Sadly, not as good as a giant dataset like ChatGPT or Bard. I’ll have to own my own content for a bit longer, then…

@andypiper what did you do? Did you train a LoRA? Or include it as context?

I posted a mockup of a design change for ChatGPT that I think could help address the risk of people being lead astray by its incredible ability to invent faleshoods: ChatGPT should include inline tips

@simon someone in HN suggested that the logits from the model could be used as a confidence. Is this remotely true? (My hunch is yes, but not very well)

I am so disappointed that Cargo’s crates aren’t namespaced. It’s (somewhat) new! Why would you actively choose to open yourself up to typo-squatting?

This problem was solved by Maven approximately eleven thousand years ago, before I even started writing Java. Just… do that.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@samir are there any other ecosystems that do namespacing?

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@samir right, I think Go and Java we’re both enterprise first. There’s a reason other ecosystems haven’t chosen to go that route, and it has a lot to do with the enterprise angle, imo. Fwiw Cargo does have namespaces, serde-*, when needed https://samsieber.tech/posts/2020/09/registry-structure-influence/

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

Maven having multiple versions with the same name really is a problem, imo. I recall several times in Java trying to figure out which is the real one, and Cargo does solve that problem

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@samir i would argue that namespaces don’t solve the squatting problem. They distinguish successfully on a technical level, but people realistically only reference it by the core name and it takes almost the same information to distinguish between which you should choose as squatted names. E.g. org.apache.jepson vs com.microsoft.jepson — which do you choose? (Idk, gotta look up the docs, they both sound legit)

A Giant Sequoia in Germany (Bonn-Bad Godesberg), albeit a quite young one without a very thick trunk. Made me long for the big ones in California... ❤️

@SingingLehrerin that’s awesome. I assume they don’t grow native there right? AFAIK they’re pretty sensitive to climate, but it seems like Germany would probably work, makes sense

@AnitaH2 [not Norwegian, sorry] is that some sort of true cedar?

The major thing that human brains and LLMs have in common is that nobody understands how either of them do the things that they are able to do.

@norootcause also, there’s no shortage of people who say they understand, and their confidence is inversely proportional to their knowledge

Ah, not enough cell signal to post pics, but I just saw a 10 foot alligator about 30 feet away from me while I was paddling. Thankfully the kids weren’t in the boat

Pics have arrived. Here’s the alligator. You can see his snout, eyes and back. I took pics and subsequently fled the scene, although he seemed more interested in staying away from me

Honestly, this place is incredible. It’s practically unknown, yet rivals the coolest shit I saw in WA, OR and CA

These studies that compare carbon footprint of code are just redonculious because they look at a very narrow aspect of code life and declare that representative of the full lifecycle of the code. It’s like declaring one car more eco friendly because it’s tires wear slower and, thus, it has a lower carbon footprint.

The reason they measure such a narrow metric is measuring the full carbon impact of a language requires measuring the carbon footprint of development and maintenance which is hard

@Cmastication technically the compute intensive parts of numpy are Fortran, but whatever

It’s broken again. It hangs indefinitely. I don’t think it’s a VPN issue bc curl works fine.

It seems to have deleted itself again. I’ve reinstalled a few times today already

Oh this is crazy. I did brew reinstall, and it reinstalled without closing down the existing window. Also nothing works in the existing window

If the easiest way to report software bugs or vulnerabilities is to go to GitHub, open an account, and create an issue or submit a pull request, most users won't do it.

Even if you're receptive and responsive (and let's be honest, most corporations aren't) the reporting barrier is too high for most people.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@NatSecGeek you’re making it seem like “opening an account” is hard, but most projects make you fill out a long form and will shame you if you get something wrong or aren’t clear enough
