The 70's are calling and they want their 8086 and assembler back...

AI runs on GPU’s - 1000’s of them, perhaps 1,000,000’s of them. The difference is where the processing is occurring, not the kind of hardware.

rproffitt commented: "GPT-3 has 175B parameters and would require 326GiB memory" so a few hundred current gen GPU cards. +17

Chuckc, I agree with you 100%... But, telling me you're a ABD Nuclear Physicists is not going to get you a job as a junior programmer.

I have been involved with software development since 1986. During that time frame, I have been a programmer/analyst, team leader, IT director, and acting CIO. I have interviewed and hired many candidates during that time frame.

If you are a fresh (or relatively fresh) graduate from school, I could care less about your entire course of study. I don't care if you are a PhD candidate or a Rhodes Scholar. You are applying for a job as a junior programmer/analyst. I want to know: are you able to think under pressure; do I, or one of my staff members, need to hold your hand every step of the way; and, are you creative?

From my experience, there are a few things that used to drive me nuts on resumes:

  1. a list of every current buzzword currently in vogue - you just graduated from college; you're level of expertise in any of these areas is, in all likelihood, limited to a class project with little real world application.
  2. puffing your resume by trying to turn the thing you have touched into an area of expertise - this will make you look like a fool very quickly.
  3. TMI - in general, I don't care about your sex life, social life, or how compassionate and loving you are - you're not in college any more and most managers don't care.

Software development is a creative process (like being an artist). It is also an area requiring a very logical …

I agree with pritaeas. The program's user must have been GRANT'ed EXECUTE permission. If you use a generic user to log in to the database, chances are that this is a new app and that the GRANT for the particular user was never run.

That little update app in my toobar said after July 29th - pretty precise, huh???

You haven't included the area of code where the error is occurring. How is tblPatient defined? What kind of backend are you using? There is apparently some restriction or range limits defined somewhere you need to find.

Try following this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/homegroup-help#homegroup-start-to-finish=windows-7&v1h=win81tab1&v2h=win7tab1 I have seen this issue before. As I was not a fan of Windows 8.x, I put Windows 7 on the offending machine and the problem went away; however, you can give the link a shot and should have better results...

rubberman is right. You can very typically use memory that is higher speed than that required by your laptop; however, it will only operate at the maximum buss speed of your computer.

I agree with desmondo - more info needed. However, I have run into an issue with my provider which is very similar to what you describe. In those cases, I have had to contact my provider and they send a reset signal from their end. My only guess as to the cause is that something in the circuit between my in-house router and their access point to the world is getting hung and they have to clear it. I typically see this situation after a disruption of service caused by a power outage or a nearby lightning strike - which may or may not cause a loss of power.
