> these algorithm quizzes have nothing at all to do with our job

There are no algorithm quizzes here, and it's not saying to prep for one. It says you should have a good grasp on these: arrays, heaps, linked lists, searching, etc. And it provides quality references for refreshing that knowledge and for getting practice thinking and speaking about them in human language instead of internal abstract thought. I think we agree that if you are in a senior engineering role, I don't necessarily care if you can implement a linked list in an interview time slot, but I sure as heck care that you know how it's different from an array, how it generally functions, when you would use it, in what situations alternatives might be better, and so on. When and why would you use a linear search instead of a binary search, are you aware of how hashes actually work and that hash collisions may occur and need to be handled in some way, can you identify that a particular problem is best solved by recursion or by dynamic programming even if you can't whip up a functional solution in an hour, etc, etc. Some interview candidates literally can't tell you why you would use a linked list instead of an array - it's just an ordered collection to them. That's what this is about - it's not about quizzes, its about fundamentals. These are what our systems are made of and understanding them is valuable to do the work we do.

And aside from data structures and algorithms and being able to talk and reason about them, I also need to see actual code of some kind that solves an actual problem in this interview, with appropriate questions around the presented ambiguity as well as be able to talk about its trade-offs, potential improvements, testability, maintainability observability, and so on. But these are not necessarily anything like an algorithm quiz

One thing I didn't glean from either article, though, is why ECC ram needs to be implemented in both the CPU and the RAM. Is the concern that corruption could occur either inside the CPU's memory (registers, Caches) or inside the RAM module and hardware needs to exist in both? If so wouldn't that still mean that having ECC RAM modules would still prevent the latter? I had the understanding that RAM is meant to function largely agnostic of the CPU using it.
Which figures? I can't see any one of the bean figures that look like pissing :-P
> its functionality is almost completely transperent, which reduces the need to inspect source code to understand functionality.

Can you explain more? Without the ability to see the source code, how can you confirm that e2e encryption is actually being used correctly?
What does "that actually got looked" mean? Can you elaborate on this Michigan county?

Isn't it the case that when votes are hand counted they match pretty darn close the "machine without auditable source code" results? As someone from outside the US the entire US election process seems like a sad joke but I guess those machines were bought under some sort of commercial contract from some sort of private company and presumably as part of that deal the source code isn't available to the public. But it seems that when the machine says X won and you like X then it's great and when it says Y won and you don't like Y then it's a faulty/irregular process? Is "someone questioned it" really a bar? Isn't there always someone who will question everything?

I'm sure the tech behind the machines that count the votes is actually quite boring. Next time you vote for someone I guess make sure you vote for someone who is going to stipulate in the contract that the source code is available to the public? Is that gonna shut up the people yelling conspiracy?

The search space for proofs is far bigger and less structured than a Go game. A lot of proofs also require creativity, in the sense that they aren't just "find the set of logical steps from 'initial condition' to 'proof'", but they require auxiliary theorems, definitions and constructions that help make the problem manageable.

Another problem is that a lot of proofs starts by exploration. For example, certain bounds for functions or convergence rates are proved without knowing what will be the end result.

Of all the problems that ML could be applied to, I find mathematical proofs one of the least promising. One, I don't see enough similarity between proofs that would allow any algorithm to learn useful patterns; and two, I don't think most mathematicians would trust a proof that cannot be understood (even if the output is a set of steps for a formal system, I imagine translating that to human language could be quite difficult).

Actually in most cases (currently), resource consumption does include many externalized costs (from a practical point of view). All those Chinese-made PV panels, they have caused massive pollution by the time they are done.

(of course resource consumption per se is not an externalized cost, that's obvious; but the price we pay today for many things do not include the full lifecycle ('cradle to cradle') costs.

Regarding the amount of energy used; PV panels have working life of 20-25 years. The links I provided below include numbers (well, somebodies interpretation of them) somewhere on the consumed/produced ratio; I don't know how they relate. I'm just saying that using dollar value cost to calculate grid parity is wrong, from an environmental point of view, and that that goes for both sides (the coal and the PV side of the equation).

By the way, this same information is already tracked and stored by the mobile networks themselves, and can be obtained by the government with a warrant (or likely by organizations like the NSA or CIA without one, given recent precedents).

See http://nce.fd.org/PDF%20Cellular%20Tower%20Location%20Inform... :

"Cellular service providers generally retain information about phones’ contacts with towers, including which tower(s) each phone contacted during any given check-in, and which “face” of the tower(s) the phone contacted."
I've seen the same phobia to a lesser degree around the plain old GPL. Lawyers think, and not unreasonably, in terms of risk. Is there a risk you might be dragged into court? If so, that's a very expensive risk. Is the library or application worth this risk? If not, then ditch it.

It's not an unreasonable fear either given past events like the SCO/Linux lawsuit. IBM had deep enough pockets to fight it and win. Anyone else would have folded or been ruined.

It makes it hard to be anything but 100% "libre" ( almost public domain) or commercial and closed source.

Being 100% libre means someone big can (and sometimes does) just take your work and put their name on it and monetize it. This wasn't much of a problem years ago, but it's a growing issue now. Being 100% commercial is of course the opposite. We're excluding the middle, to great detriment, and we really need a workable legal solution that won't scare lawyers.
It's because this is a settlement out-of-court. Basically the lawyers thought the case was really weak so they took what they could get. Or perhaps they were corrupt.
The perspective that we will likely explore the universe using artificial beings is on the right track.

Our species is at the stage of flinging hunks of metal and meat at nearby rocks and planets, whereas the problem of space exploration means ultimately that we are trying to cohere information across distances measured in light years. The former problem is interesting and exciting, but the latter problem is the one that we can probably find solutions for in the span of a couple of lifetimes.

How it could plausibly have been solved by other civilizations is they figured out a way to transmit information to set off the operations that would resolve to the building of the other end of a communications channel.

It reminds me of how relative time was fictionalized in the movie Interstellar, where hundreds of thousands of years here pass over a relatively very short period far enough away, to where (inverting that perspective) if we came up with a quantum device that entangled with some distant photons to set off the reactions that would yield a civilization in 100m of its years, if it were far away enough, we might even hear back from them in a few lifetimes. That's sci-fi speculation, and someone can correct my misunderstanding of general relativity, but I'm saying it might be more plausible to in-effect compute with distant parts of the universe than to solve the problem of preserving meat in cans and how we propel them through it.
We had the chance to buy a support plan with DO in a previous job. May be worth asking if that's something they can help with?

Is anybody looking at all this trash data?
This is all fine and accurate but it seems like you are not addressing my point. First, for the purposes of my analogy the relevant detail is that Israel/Palestine has substantially more fresh water then Saudi Arabia. So now, applying your logic from above it would be justified for the Saudis to come and displace Israelis/Palestinians. Why? Because they used to be under Ottoman rule. See why your remark justifying colonization of Palestinian is absurd?

You know, I wish that a reality can be realized where everyone coexists happily. But when a people have been harmed so directly and for so long acknowledging these points is the only way towards that reality. If we keep arguing then things will never change.

The fundamental fact is hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were wronged. Today millions are victims. We can’t just ignore that or marginalize it via debate.

It's okay for people to not agree with you on how they spend their time and money. Some people are more interested in the questions and answers we would get from knowing about aliens than banging their heads against intractable problems like climate change or mentally ill homelessness.

> You don't need the nodes to agree on anything. If they don't agree, they drop off the network

The miners by comparison, drop off the old BTC network making difficulty go down and others can now mine BTC.

Certainly miners can make this decision. What they can't do is force the market to value the new fork as worth anything, while they are burning energy to mine it and wasting opportunity cost of abandoning finite BTC.

How is this an actual threat? Doesn't make sense.
I use OneDrive for work. The desktop app has "Files-On-Demand" (enabled by default). It keeps everything in the cloud until you click on a file. Then it downloads a local copy and keeps it in sync with the cloud. You can also manually designate files to "Always keep on this device" or "Free up space". You can take space saving even further with Storage Sense in Windows 10. It can delete local copies of files that haven't been used for a designated amount of time (Never by default).

Is Microsoft better than Google? Probably not. I don't know of any open source or self hosted solution this robust. You might want to consider getting a NAS; which lets you mount a network share on your local PC and use your normal file manager.
I also work at Google and in my 9 years there I've never had a perf process where monetary or profit-success goals of the company were mentioned once.

EDIT: I guess when I worked in ads, there were ad performance type metrics discussed to some degree. Not much though.

>I'm slightly older than you, so we're both millenials, and I've noticed a lot of my friends sort of struggling with the fact that we're no longer the "young and cool" crowd. The Gen Y/Z TikTok crowd are the cool ones now

The funny thing about that, much like when we were that age, those platforms and things the young folks think are cool were made by people who are the age of millenials or older for the most part.

I dunno, when I was younger a lot of the music and stuff I thought was cool was being made by people who were around the same age I am now.

Not too sure what my point is really, your comment just made me think of this. People around that age start lamenting their lack of cool, but are responsible for many of the things people younger than them find cool...something like that I suppose.
> when the party being dominated or abused has massive power itself

The expected "relativistic" cop-out. "Massive" means nothing if your opponent has substantially more. It simply means that no matter how much you want to escalate they can take it a notch higher and you will suffer just a bit more than your opponent. There are examples literally all around you.

> This is the only view I see that allows the losing entity to learn from the experience

The only way? It is a way best used when everything else has failed, like education. Am I to understand that you learned everything from personal experience? If you truly believe things are only ever learned on your own skin then you understand close to nothing about the world, history, and consequences, not living through almost any of them yourself. Which explains the narrow view.
From the example on the first page, it just looks like what is needed is a JavaScript object graph tool like JSOG [1], which will allow a large cyclic object graph to be serialized and deserialized to / from json.

To do lists are great.

Having your subconscious solve the hard puzzles for you is great at the time... but I wonder whether that has a flow on effect to insomnia. You want your brain to be thinking, working, but sleeping is supposed to be rest time...

Perhaps there are short term vs long term trade offs.

I've been experimenting with caffeine. So far I'm getting some surprising results. Amongst hackers the common view is that it makes you faster or even a little bit smarter or more productive. What I've found though is that it actually makes you more impatient. Being impatient and wired to a high level of alertness may mean that you pump out a lot of code ... but what is the quality of it?

Really good code requires really deep thinking, and caffeine driven impatience is counter-productive.

Also, it makes it harder to get to sleep...
If you'd 'fix' javascript, you'd still have to wait for browsers to support the new version, and they would have to support the old js until there are pages out there that use it. Which means pretty much forever.

At which point, the fixed language becomes irrelevant, as it cannot replace the older one.
Sorry - I'm not sure what "merging associativity" is - can you give an example?

The above article gives us a simple example (A vs B) of a situation where doing the right thing requires a human aka strong AI because you need to know the "intent" of commit.

Is there a simple solution - or even a complex one - which would not require a human to verify?

- The Trump/Russia situation resulted in the senate agreeing that Russia did collude with members of the Trump campaign in support of Trump. [1]

- The supreme court has rejected every lawsuit brought to it on the basis of "no evidence." [3]

While the Russia investigation lead to the arrest of nearly every 2016 Trump campaign manager, the allegations of voter fraud across 10 states has led to nothing that could overturn the election.

I think this nails it.
If this is the part of the journey that you are waking up during, then unfortunately there’s only bad news. What you see coming up was already baked in.

I dare say, so are the natural counter reactions to it.

If it’s unclear, remember the quaint days of the Fox News effect. America was pulling away for a long time, and the right was the first one to realize the political advantage of it.

Frankly I doubt America, especially the American right, can currently sit down and figure out how it got here.

This isn’t an unfair criticism mind you, you can simply see how the right has gone from the river boat (?) days to the tea party to the Trump days of today, to track how hyper partisan it’s become internally.

The media structures at play, such as Fox News, are determined to sell a partisan story.

The Republican Party is so unable to work with the dems that they even rejected “Obama care” - which was built around a Republican program -Romneycare.

This is simply one example, to highlight that what you are seeing is momentum at play.

The machines that spin it up - namely the political:media structures, are fully active.

Plus it’s been frightfully effective for the right.

When Obama came to power, the right had suffered a massive demoralizing loss. They had nothing and were demoralized.

Instead they got together and found strength in sheer force of will and used the term “one term president” to invigorate themselves and fight Obama at every turn.

This dogged will to fight at all costs is impressive, and it resulted in styling Obama, and even gave them Trump.

The Trump years have been amazing for the Republicans and so many core Republican goals have been fulfilled, especially the Supreme Court judges.

The republicans approach simply works. Why wouldn’t the left pick up that lesson?

You’ll even see that the rise of the left in the democrats is a mirror of the same process on the right.

TLDR: sorry man, bipartisanship is long dead in your country.

What should worry you even more - these processes aren’t unique to America. Fully expect to see this same break down around the world.
