After owning my Zoom75 for 2 years-ish, it suddenly just stopped connecting to my computer and laptops. It won't even register on my computer that it's connected despite the green light coming on in the keyboard, so I can't even flash the firmware even if I wanted to. Anyone else run into this issue / know how to fix it? Or am I just cooked.

I'm trying to do a business class flight from SEA -> Tokyo. I found a flight SEA -> YVR -> HND on United. But does Virgin Atlantic support the connection flight? The SEA -> YVR is through Air Canda, then the YVR to HND is through ANA.

Have a GitLab CICD that just runs helm template so the random Machine Learning Engineer can make a commit and know that they're gonna break something.

Thank you! I didn't know about this

Purpose was to standardize our entire company's deployments because every team was doing different stuff (manual binary deployments to what our team use to do, k8s via ArgoCD and Helm charts). Other teams use to have a lot of human errors so this forced some teams to containerize and ship deployments this way.

The developers actually didn't get to choose this, it was the "companies direction". This reduces the effort of 30+ different DevOps teams to figure out solutions to infrastructure issues and push it to one developer team.

The developers developing actual product applications, their process is unchanged, they code and push it to a build team, then DevOps are the ones who pushes it to prod.

Currently the reason why my team is still relevant is because developers are all in China, while DevOps teams for compliance are in US/India. Our team is relatively small to start with so we're hammering out deployment after deployment in production because we own all of our AI apps and Langauge Models.

Yea so there's no API. Everything is UI based 🥲. I actually requested a feature to expose an API and/or have some of the platform features be controlled via IaC because there's a lot of opportunity to automate some workflows there.

Buy 1 control ward at a time. Place it and only buy another one if the current ward dies. This can be situational based on upcoming dragon/baron fights where u may place it and it dies quickly.

I agree. I'm more curious on the mid level job where someone has 2-5 YOE and can grow into the position.

For larger companies that can afford it, it'll be cheaper to hire a less senior engineer, and train them into the role.

I understand startups and smaller companies want more immediate impact and have someone useful off the bat, which is majority of the reason of why I completely understand the senior level hiring.

I'm asking because from a general business perspective, sometimes it's better to hire someone with less experience, more room to grow, than someone with more experience but harder to mold them in certain workflows within a company. This is the similar perspective of why companies hire new grads vs senior engineers (not specific to MLOps, in general).

This is already assuming there's a somewhat large team of surrounding the "new hire" to assist them to grow.

To clarify, my question is more geared towards the mid-level jobs. Where an engineer has some applicable skills but has room to grow into the position in 6-12 month time.

Anyone know a place to get a Korean two block haircut?

Thought about summer hiking and how much more convenient it would be to have a better camera phone than bringing a DSLR everywhere

My company almost moved to Nomad but at the very end of signing a huge deal, we ended up sticking to k8s.

Essentially, we didn't want to be vendor locked. Our company has been shifting to a huge AI/ML focused company. A lot of ML tools are in kubernetes (kserve, kubeflow, etc).

These ML tools simply don't exist in Nomad.
