For very long local builds, like a full bitbake, I do `&& bell` so I know when to tab back to my build terminal.

i.e. `bitbake bsp-vendor-full-image || beep && beep` so I get a sound when things finish, whether it failed or succeeded.

I added an alarm to my prompt so it happens every time a command finishes. I only use a visual bell, which propagates through tmux and my window manager. So basically, if I'm focused elsewhere when a command finishes, I have a nice indicator reminding me to go back.

Looks like the author really wants `rebase -i`

I'm a senior software engineer with 7+ YoE.

I've acted as both an IC and a team lead. Very comfortable in almost any language or business domain -- from front-end web UI work to DSP assembly and FPGA gateware.

I hold a couple patents with even more pending (non-provisionally filed) in a variety of domains, mostly WiFi.

I like math a lot.

Sorely want to do good work on a team of fun, industrious people.

Just point me in a direction.

You could ship a sample out to get a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis done.

Then when it comes back with 4000 molecules as a result, figuring out which 2 spices are responsible for 3993 of those.

A lab specializing in analyzing food will be able to help with that too.

Usually only a few aromatics will make up the bulk of the flavor and they’re well known molecules, especially if they’re synthetic.

Does this mean all "secret" recipes have been useless IP protection for a long time?

No, a mass spec can only give you a list of molecules, like a list of ingredients but after they’ve been cooked. It can’t give you the raw ingredients or the recipe.

Most soda is sugar water with a few well known synthetic flavors added so it’s easy to identify. Secret recipes like Coca Cola are far more complex to make without easy synthetic alternatives. Any recipe that caramelizes sugar, for example, is hard to reverse engineer.

Somebody should be able to build a Large language model of Molecules to ingredients.

Like most sticky internet slang terms, "slop" stems from 4chan's "sloppa", initially used to describe gross looking food, i.e. "slop of shit" shortened to "sloppa"

Now used to describe anything that looks half-assed, poorly put together, etc.

There may be some MSRs that you can poke to read about the state of pipelining but I highly doubt it can be disabled on x86 (or any superscalar architecture, really).

You'd be flabbergasted to learn how many candidates just blatantly lie on their resume. I don't mean pretending to know Scala, I'm talking _years_ of vapor-experience at fake companies. And these people get hired all the time.

How do they get away with it? Most companies I’ve applied to run background checks and ask for references. The last one I was at refused to send an offer letter until my previous employer answered their calls.

You pay your friends or a third party to LARP as a company/manager/whoever. An LLC is cheap to open and sliding your buddy a $20 for a 15 minute phone call is a no-brainer. I am not condoning this nor am I speaking from personal experience, but this is absolutely a real thing that happens a lot more than you might like to believe.

Citing the dimensions of a grapefruit... Hackernews, never change

You won't out-pace OpenAI, so selling a wrapper around their API that only slightly improves upon their current work is simply a stop-gap until they release model++

> and IF the goal of OpenAI is to literally create AGI, doesn't this mean all software is redundant?

Sort of means all of everything is redundant. :^)
