This is a good cautionary tale for younger developers.

Know how to market yourself, or you'll end up throwing yourself a public pity party to try to get a job (sorry for being harsh, but that's what a post full of impressive achievements followed by "I'm broke and unemployed at 46, and not qualified for anything" is).

This guy has probably more cumulative knowledge and experience than 99% of the developers at any famous large company or startup. But there are tens of thousands of engineers nowhere near as good as he is making a quarter million, half million dollars a year or more, while he's posting about being broke.

A common objection to this is that you have to pick between pleasing recruiters or pursuing your passion. But that's a false dichotomy! François Chollet, John Carmack, or Yves Lecun to name a few are the best in the world at their specific niche, and they're not in that situation - as are many others with slightly less impressive resumes than they have. So clearly it can be done.

Edit: surprised to be so quickly downvoted. You'd think that for a site where raising millions of dollars is glorified every day, HNers would consider being a broke technical genius a bug, not a feature. Either this is the very first thing the guy did when looking for a job, in which case I find it very odd (can you imagine if John Carmack posted something about how he needs a job but he's "not qualified for anything"?); or he's posting this after many emails sent, interviews passed, coffee had, etc., in which case this only adds to my point.
The ultra puritanical attitude in parts of the USA is also a culture - and if you know your history it has a sectarian nativist basis against immigrants.
Actually, it's even more ridiculous than that. Reading with a char * is UB. Reading with an unsigned char is not. Why? Because the C90 standard made it impossible to write memcpy in C so the committee added a hack for unsigned char .

On the other hand, having a unique address for each site means they can't readily correlate your identity when selling information about users. (They're not gonna special-case your catch-all.)
Is it open source?

I'm also doing something similar with the same stack and would love to see how you did the sockets integration...
I pop out the chat and put the video in theatre mode.

You can close the chat window if you want, but I'm normally watching things where the streamer is engaged with the chat and volume is fairly low.
This probably is one of the best ways for someone of his notoriety to get connected to his next gig. I'm very confident he could generate a number of excellent leads just by talking around to his local tech companies.

It's the people who don't have decades of success behind them who languish between jobs because they don't have a degree or $BIG_BUSINESS on their resume.
They are improving performance in what way? My compiler: read input; emit nop, improves performance too.
Very insightful review of Science and Scientific Reasoning. Reminds me of what we were taught in school 45 years ago and later on in undergraduate engineering.

Should be part of the curriculum of high-school and university education for all courses.
Have you ever heard of an obscure language called Java?
public pity party

It's actually him shamelessly humblebragging. I'm not sure why it was posted.
so which "cultures" do you think this applies to? BTW this is a realy racist POV you have here.

There's a trick to downloading older versions of apps still in the App Store: https://medium.com/@iosight/how-to-legally-download-any-prev...

I was able to get this working recently* to get an older version of Pandora installed on an original iPhone.

Problem with this method is you're guessing at version numbers to find a version that will work, but it's neat when it does!

*The article says certificate pinning breaks this, but there's a comment about how to add Charles Proxy's certificate to your trust store which seems to circumvent this.

This all seems extremely unlikely (compared to e.g. widespread success in scientific computing, which is still far from assured). Good luck though.
Does anybody have any data on whether external sorting [1] is the way to go these days for CPU based sorts?

That is, use quicksort for chunks up to the size of the L1/L2/L3 cache (depending on benchmarking) and then mergesort the chunks.

I am in a similar spot with a 7-year old, 6C/12T overclocked Xeon W3680. If Threadripper frequencies are decent it might finally be time to join the current generation of hardware. I would "settle" for a 12C/24T Threadripper if it were clocked as high/higher than the 16C/32T version, and at the right price point (ala the Ryzen 1600X). Doubly so if Intel follows through on opening up Thunderbolt licensing and I can add a Thunderbolt 3 expansion card to a non-Intel system in the future.

Optane isn't interesting, and while I have a fascination for AVX512 from discussions with a friend who does HPC, I know I concretely won't use it most of the time. The only unique thing that Intel offers me right now is Thunderbolt 3.
> All three criticisms are entirely based on opinion:

"Favorite" is a focal word of the title, i would be surprised if the content was not about opinions.

to anybody its tastes, the author was disappointed by (the expevtations of) python and was complaining

again a personal statement which takes nothing away from others people ability to write robust software.

If nothing else how i personally interpretated the article was a complain about unmatched expextations and personal pain points.
Seriously, is that a thing? Not drinking in the office is an aberration in California? Because I'm in Ontario and if I was drinking at the office I'd probably get sent home for the day and have a nice talking to on the next one.

Depends on how well they're paid. For example it's unlikely I'm going to just walk across the street and into a position that pays as well as my current one does.

I mean, I could probably get any $100k + "equity" gig on AngelList, but I don't feel like taking a ~50% (rough numbers here, it's less than 50%) pay cut. And I know I'm not even close to the only one in my pay bracket.
If A.I. can't fold my laundry, I wouldn't trust it with my car.
Interesting; intuitively, I would say that this should be fine for mobile browsers, but desktop browsers shouldn't be doing this—PC operating systems are still built on a fundamentally "mutually-untrustworthy multitenant time-sharing system" paradigm.

Any random port on localhost (or, indeed, on any other IP assigned to the loopback interface—that's 127/8 in IPv4, you know!) can be a socket opened by a process running on your PC that was started by someone who 1. has limited shell access to your machine, but 2. who isn't you. Privileging such ports would give such attackers an easy escalation path from this limited shell access to administrative access, assuming that you yourself are a [local or domain] administrator.

Mobile devices can ignore this because they're (so far) inherently single-user devices. But anything allowing multiple parallel user sessions—even a Chromebook, or an iPad in Classroom mode—shouldn't make the assumption that local ports are safe. That's how a teacher gets their password phished by their students.

Can you offer proof of said credentials? I've heard of him. That's his credential. His work speaks for itself.

Have I heard of you?

A top school isn't a guarantee of success, but it's a credential that might mean something more than simply your ow personal self opinion.
Definitely taking them too seriously. As someone who's been on the inside of several big companies the hiring managers often have a ton of power to get the people they want in. If his friends are there, that's an excellent starting point. Applying to a big company in this case is a worthwhile experiment, just don't go through the front door without the referral.
Most of these new email services overlook a few very important details which guarantee that they will probably not be around in a year:

1. You need to have multiple domains. If your solution is just one host name and your service becomes popular, it will become blacklisted in a matter of months.

2. The volume of spam you'll receive is huge. Really huge. Even if your service is only moderately successful. It costs money to keep such a service running.
To say this is to assume that no information is communicated through facial expressions, body language, tone, rhythm, etc. Furthermore, assuming all relevant information is contained in a person's words alone, it's also impossible to say that a particular bit rate representation of an utterance faithfully reproduces all of that information.

Microbenchmarking Implementations of Map in OCaml
If Chinese factories figure out how to mass produce aerogel, with similar durability and environmental footprints to Corning Foamglas (or similar foamed glass blocks), then I'd be all over that. So far though, I can't get very good field reports of people using the much cheaper pellet-form factor aerogel products commonly coming out of China.

I don't know the true manufacturing costs of sheet and block form aerogel, but they're priced so high that even multi-generational payback periods didn't pencil out even close, even granting them a 30% premium. Current manufacturers simply aren't aiming those form factors at building insulation as far as I can tell, though I'd love to be shown wrong.

For the time being, when I need near-aerogel-like qualities insulation but without the volume penalty foamed glass incurs, but can't justify the cost of aerogel due to the required quantity, I look to vacuum insulated panels to cover the big expanses of area and volume, and aerogel to fill in the gaps.
I wouldn't. Most workplaces automate the first few passes because of how much resume spam they get hit with.

Now I'd have a hard time imagining a good workplace rejecting him if an actual human saw his resume.
Yes of course, if you want to have an older dad just be geeky.
I really liked the drinking culture in my early to mid 20's but by my late 20's I got a stomach condition that put an end to that. Now I am in my early 30's I have lost any inclination to even want to partake. There are many things I now enjoy more being sober.

I've never been more productive and my mind has never been so clear.
The article has been updated in light of this comment.
Worth noting that OpenAI may not otherwise exist. It mightn't be precisely ideal, but I think it's broadly a 3-way win.
What you said describes prostitution. I don't know about deep passion or not, I enjoy writing programs, and it satisfies my need to create things. Learning new stuff, novel ways of thinking is why I am in it. I have previously left jobs which offered higher pay for jobs that are interesting.
Thanks for including Upbeat in your Tools & Services section!
It's hard to see how pre-cooling a thermal mass cannot help to be much more efficient than an electric battery.
this is cool and all, for historical purposes. But for modern "small spec" the i386 distribution of debian, no xorg or desktop manager is probably the smallest usable distribution that has a full set of packages and will run on an ancient machine. Any old laptop that has 128MB of RAM should be capable. One of the issues you might run into is that the only way to do the install is via a burned 700MB CD-R of the ISO, and very few people actually keep CD-R media around or CD burners anymore.
This is a good idea but creating a new address for each site seems to be overcomplicating a simple problem. I just have "mynormalemailalias_spam@domain" which is used for sign ups, if I ever need to log into a site I've signed up with using that address it's easy to remember the login details and/or reset my password.
Comparing SPARQL to REST doesn't make sense. RDF is a different beast.
I thought it was pretty brilliant advertising.
Wow! Tesla's official statement: "Chris just wasn’t the right fit for Tesla, and we’ve decided to make a change. We wish him the best." [0]

Chris's response: "Turns out that Tesla isn't a good fit for me after all. I'm interested to hear about interesting roles for a seasoned engineering leader!"

I don't think I've ever seen a tech company throw an employee under the bus so publicly. I wonder what Lattner did to warrant such a public separation?

I've had the impression it's pure chaos over at Tesla's autopilot division for quite a long time. They have so much to gain if they get the pieces right, but I'm not sure it's guaranteed to happen.
Agreed that this sentence is silly and represents a mistake that far too many people make.

How is trust anchored?

There's tpm and secure boot - does the (presumably signed, in the trusted boot->os->user binary/service-path) agent access signing services from tpm - backed by a key in tpm, and use that to identify itself as an authentic agent?

Otherwise I can't see how an (admin) user couldn't extract the key from ram and run the os and agent in a vm?
The actual framing is WebSockets over TLS once the session is established and the latency is no worse than SSH over VPN practically speaking.

The protocol also supports session resumption in case your connection to the relays is briefly interrupted, but client support is buggy so it's been disabled for years (with few complaints)
Yeah, but do you have a job to offer him? If not, you're not the target audience.

At least they didn't wait for the "employees" to file a lawsuit like Google did: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20150412/SMALLBIZ/15041...
On this topic, hasn't there been some research that has shown that lesser precision values can be used in neural network algorithms without much loss in performance?
I know what the spot price is. My electric bill, however, has a fixed price 24/7. When the cost to deliver electricity varies significantly on an hourly basis, this is not an efficient way to match supply with demand.

Note how gasoline prices vary on a daily basis. This matches supply with demand.
I agree, Android is particularly bad for this as well. I work with someone still using an iPhone 4 - works fine for him in that he can make and receive calls on it which is all he uses it for, but thanks to shoddy update support I can still send specific characters to him in an SMS and make his phone restart!
So does everyone else working on the same problem.
Anyone have any insight into what the top ML people are being paid right now?

Like real life, chatrooms around us are full of all sorts of people. Unlike real life, there are literally thouthands screaming at a time. It's wierd to expect everyone to conform to your standard, it is unproductive to be offended when they don't, and pretty out of touch to expect someone to shut them up, so you can "feel safe".

(I am always amazed how typing "when game starts?" results in couple of whispers and (at) mentions with polite answers even in most crowded chats.)
Would that not be true for all technical / scientific use cases if not most use cases in general?
Each beat is probably better considered a symbol, so by your analysis the human audio channel is around 20 baud not 20 bits/s. The symbol size obviously has a large impact on the information bit rate.

We can estimate the size of a symbol though:
13b for primary tones(20khz range at about 3Hz resolution) + 4b for rising/falling/etc tonal patterns + 7b for volume (1dB detection over 120db range) + (42 phonemes in english so round up to 256 for convenience) 8b for phoneme patterns + 2 ears preprocessed for 2d directions is maybe 4b direction and 4b distance gives a total of around 40b per symbol.

So with that wild approximation, it's at 800 bps, or 8.64 MB / 24h
Sounds like he's taking those requirements too seriously.

"Taking them at face value" was how I read it.

And if that's "taking things to seriously", well then -- that outlines a shortcoming on the company's side.
The Cray absolutely did. How else do you do sparse matrix multiply?
Gas prices vary daily. This works very well at matching supply with demand. I don't see any particular reason to believe that there's something different about electricity.
Chris Lattner leaving Tesla
Good signal with that response. I'm not sure if the guy doesn't understand how the game is played, or if he's needy and expects someone to say "no, no, you're totally qualified, please apply." Given he just posted a huge list of his accomplishments, I'm guessing it's the first one.

Either way, I'm not sure why that particular brand of pedantry is so popular among engineers, but it's exhausting working with people who take everything humans say literally.
In response to the comment "when you're paid biweekly, not all months are the same", then yes, it is blindingly obvious that the current context draws a distinction between being paid biweekly, such that not all months are the same, and being paid semimonthly, such that all months are in fact the same.
I'm not convinced. Otherwise they would have joined Alliance for Open Media. Their absence speaks for itself and shows where their allegiance lies.
You might really enjoy datomic (www.datomic.com). Everything is stored as entity attribute value time and you query with a dialect of datalog. You can check out www.learndatalogtoday.org to get a flavor.
Ancient Egypt is a great example. We have what they wanted us to see, the stories carved on the monuments. But we're interested in what really happened!
OpenAI is a weird animal. Their research seems generally less impactful than rest of the top tier labs out there. But they do have great people on the team. Is it because their engineering infrastructure is subpar?
Google's model allows SSH to "internal machines" over a set of relays that apply the same machine authentication and trust tier logic that's laid out in the papers.

So your workflow would still be supported, and it would likely be more secure than exposing SSH traffic to the internet at large.
I can see places rejecting him because he's TOO qualified and that he won't stick around for boring work.
I the scientific context the main contender is matlab/octave; i think the main problem is that matlab is too expensive (and sold in various sizes) and octave has a features problem[citation needed].

Otherwise in term of number crunching matlab is (expecially on the feels side) a lot better than python
Like a9t9 said, ABBYY, Microsoft and Google offer this.

Intel manufacured 32-bit ARMv5 chips via a unit originally acquired from DEC in '97. It was sold to Marvell 10 years ago. It's hard to see how any of this would help Intel create competitive ARMv8 server-class chips, but you're right, given their market hold of their x86 chips they clearly have the means to do it. However it would probably take a significant amount of time, and they would have real
competition. Sadly, I don't think they'll be investing into server-class 64-bit ARMv8 chips, and that's a mistake. CPUs are a commodity now, and the architecture wars are largely irrelevant with a heavy push towards OSS stacks. It's a race to the bottom, and ARM chips are going to be simpler for the same amount of performance, and that means ultimately cheaper.
How does that work? Different compression levels?
Those stutter too all the time, chunks of video get skipped, etc. If your link to twitch is not good enough, `livestreamer` won't help very much. Though this is infinitely better than twitch player that can't even hide its controls reliably.
The linked article is describing a world where you encode SPARQL in HTTP query parameters and get back RDF+XML. It really is attempting to be an API for querying everything, but querying nothing well.

You can write reasonable REST APIs for RDF. You can even formalize it with JSON-LD if you care to.
I would say that NOT having excel integration would be a feature :-)
Except most workplaces don't need any of that experience, and certainly not the "I am so great" attitude. Note how none of his projects involve "collaborated a team people to get done something bigger than what anyone could do by themselves".

It's a new(ish) platform whose demographic (people who enjoy video games) is growing larger every year. Today's 40 and 50 year olds don't play nearly as many games as the next decade's will. Whether or not they can wrangle that into marketing $$$ is another story.

Activision and Blizzard are both owned by Activision Blizzard, so by putting Destiny 2 in Battle.net they can keep the share Valve would take for selling it on steam.
I've met Jon and like him.

This is an "I'm a goddamn superstar and I'm advertising myself as such." Post.

This is not actually about inability to get a job or university requirements - that's some window dressing on the (justified) boast. This is about Jon getting a superstar's job. And why not? He probably deserves it and then some. Don't let anyone undersell you the importance of marketing.

Just a reminder that life is pretty short, and worst case, you can probably just get another job and only be 6 months to 1 year behind your friends in terms of savings.
Non-verbal communication is definitely something for GP to consider, but doesn't change their point very much. The amount of information you can convey directly through your body is still a tiny fraction of what goes through your mind. And guess what, you still need tons of context to decode body language, rhythm, etc.
If you host your own domain you'll likely need spam filtering for abuse@ or at least postmaster@ (or ignore RFCs, like most unfortunately do..).
