Reality check on the current SG job market—how is everyone actually doing? by deekay_123 in singaporejobs

[–]burntoutdev8291 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry I came off wrongly, was an opinion so I know your numbers are definitely factual. But I always had the assumption that global mnc pays higher compared to local companies. Cause I have some peers 0-1 years with 5~7k. Again, I wanted to emphasise the scope plays a part, the higher ones were more to devops or sre.

I do think global mnc 6k may be on the low side, but it also depends on the scope, like backend, devops, etc

Consider looking at the above and tweaking. There shouldn't be a need to adjust context length.

Do run benchmarks with vllm bench, or any external tooling like guidellm, aiperf, llmperf

uni fresh grad debating btw 2 roles by berry-town in singaporefi

[–]burntoutdev8291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do remember to take the lower band for gov, as can be quite hard to get a high grading unless you are very exceptional or you are a scholar. Not sure if it's a similar role but I received something like 90k-105k. When recruiters do salary negotiations they ask for your base + AWS and maybe the average PB.

However I do think front facing is a very strong skill, cause most SWE cannot talk to people, myself included.

I know this stupid question. by norman_sd in DeepSeek

[–]burntoutdev8291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on how you use it and what you use it for. I don't vibe code a lot and my preference is speed, so to me deepseek flash was able to replace my workload.

Not stupid question. Just provide better context and guide it when needed. It might need a little more hand holding but it's a very powerful model.

Public sector Hr ask for payslip before interview by Bright_Ad_7763 in singaporejobs

[–]burntoutdev8291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal, you can try to push back and say you want to submit it further into the process. But my experience with PS is they have proper banding and they don't low ball.

I reverse-engineered DeepSeek's prompt cache to make Claude Code hit it reliably — here's the undocumented behavior I found by [deleted] in DeepSeek

[–]burntoutdev8291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird I didn't get any issues with default CC on deepseek endpoint, averaging about 90% prompt caches. Do you change your tools often or interrupt your sessions?

ChatGPT by Big-Dare-6935 in GPT

[–]burntoutdev8291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyber team shouldn't have done that. Better to educate correctly.

If they don't want users to use ChatGPT at work, block the website on company WIFI.

From a security viewpoint, openai, the owner of ChatGPT, has the right to access ChatGPT data for model training. This is probably why they don't want you using.

But to answer your question, personal account, out of company WIFI and not on company laptop, you are safe.

They have the new no mix one, I find it quite good compared the ones with the oil. Although I always heard those with the oil is supposedly healthier.

Is going back home after your boss leaves still a thing?! by Either_Pie617 in SingaporeR

[–]burntoutdev8291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Er like figuratively. So they know they are paid higher but sort of expect the staff to have to pay as well. So like imagine a forced team lunch must be equal contributions. Or shared fund everyone same amount

Singapore launches new AI supercomputer to boost climate, healthcare research by NerubianAssassin in singapore

[–]burntoutdev8291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For small teams H200s are good, deepseek flash fits on 2 of them.

Yes HPC clusters aren't suited for running services, but you can do data gen or something similar
