> I'm realizing how amazing career services can be. They send out weekly emails saying: "James Dimon is coming to speak."

Interesting, and I can see it. But then again, I have to wonder if there is some degree of confirmation bias at play here?

It's likely the staff in Career Services at $ivyLeague are, on average, of a higher skill than their counterparts at $stateSchool. But by how much? Sending an email isn't exactly a massive technical accomplishment, and even being able to send an email saying Mr. Dimon is coming to speak might say a lot more about the name of the school they work for than it does their ability as administrators.

A school like Harvard has a lot more clout in name, money, and connections, in getting someone like Dimon, Blankfein, Zuckerberg etc... to speak(or even pick up the phone) than, say, New Mexico State University.

It may be organizational skills and capability, but I'm willing to bet it's also about name recognition, alumni connections, and availability of resources.
What on earth are these edition things? I'll have to dig out my DMG, PH, MM, FF etc. Apparently, they might be cool.

I also notice that even though I can't read lips, I often find it much easier to understand what people are saying when I can see them. I think part of the reason speech recognition isn't generally at a human-level is that they don't receive the same amount or kind of data that we do.

An interesting experiment might be to include a speaker's native tongue when trying to recognize their speech in a different language. I bet that speech recognition would be a lot easier on e.g. native Spanish speakers speaking English if you know to ignore, for example, the sound "e" when spoken before "st" or "sp"
No Grumpy Humans and Other Site Reliability Engineering Lessons from Google
the short answer is that some systems better support creative experiences than others.

Each system provides both power to tell stories and restrictions on what stories make sense within the framework. 3.5e, for example, was a high-powered but extremely clunky framework -- it let you build epic creative experiences, but often got in its own way. 4e was a lower-powered storytelling experience because it was so focused on "balance". (My experience doesn't go all the way back to 1e so I can't comment on its specific strengths and weaknesses.)

One thing I really like about 5e is that it's quite streamlined, but has a variety of options integrated into the core game. Things that were clunky in prior editions (like prestige classes in 3.5, or ritual-casting in 4e) are now supported smoothly. So it's high-powered but also kind of gets out of the way.

EDIT: I think the fear of learning new rulesets is itself a reaction to the overly complex early-edition D&D rules. You have to learn so many different types of mechanics and try to keep them all straight. You have a bunch of different bonus types and have to learn which ones stack, and then try to maximize the overall stack. 5e is actually really quick to learn, and as such, it gets out of the way of the creative storytelling experience a lot more than earlier editions.
OK I have a question, but dont shit on me if you think its stupid:

Wouldnt any of these smart cars be able to know they physical volumes of many number of cars, including themselves, as well as communicate with eachother - and share their velocity, direction, volume, intentions so as to have a hive mind of the moving bodies?

What if you also just had a beacon which reported this information to other cars in a short network where the driver is human - so the smart cars all know where the human driver operated cars are.

Then, in addition, you collect all the point data, from lidar, you subtract the known data points given "a prius with a shape and mass and volume of this moving at a speed of that - and over time you have built out a complete point cloud of the static, non-variable topology?

rather than spending $75,000 on one lidar periscope, spend 75,000 on developing a beacon such that all cars are telling eachother where they are, their mass/volume and speed?
If you're only considering local candidates aren't you still filtering out most universities just indirectly?

Microsoft Word’s primary category is PDF Readers and Editors

I did not expect MS Word to be listed as a PDF Reader (and editor).

Does this mean that (according to your data) when a company switches away from MS Word, it's because they just wanted a PDF Reader? Perhaps that implies that those who don't switch away from it simply find that there is no substitute software for their principal use case.

> that’s about 66% of the amount of water needed for a suburban grass lawn in a hot climate

I'm not sure how to related to this. If a person wanted to grow food in a hot climate they'd probably build tunnels or shaded houses or some such, or grow olives or some other food plant suited to the conditions, using drip irrigation. Where as a suburban lawn is typically exposed to direct sun light and watered in a typically less than optimal way.
Thats an admirable goal. I hope it continues to be developed, my experience so far is that it's just a less functional LinkedIn clone.

Hopefully Rust will eat up the real-time domain, at least for tasks which aren't best served with formal or model-based methods.
It might already be usable, most of the essential pieces seem to be in place. No GC, many parts of stdlib, typed arena for memory pools etc. Move operations and immutable by default should reduce tendencies for defensive copying.
But best-practices, documentation and tooling for real-time is not on par with C++ yet. Though real-time is an underdocumented art in general..

I've never seen a 1st gen apple watch with burn in, even. Mine is a bit over two years old. Apple seems to buy the absolute best quality displays, and have good control logic/orbiting/etc to prevent it. I use mine heavily, although i guess not as much as a phone. I've never heard of one getting burn in/retention though.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact question (do you have trouble understanding speech in noisy environments, etc.) on several Asperger and related self-assess questionnaires.
(Assuming I'm understanding you correctly,) if the issue were only other vehicles, this might be feasible. However, the world includes much more than just the other vehicles on the road, and the road and its environs aren't static.

I can imagine something similar to what you're proposing being a part of the overall system, I suspect there will always be the need for something vehicle-based that "sees" the environment.

This is a cool project.
But, you can safely say it wouldn't have thrown a lifeline to Apple with the investment and it may have been much more aggressive in these emerging spaces.

Microsoft "saving" Apple is apocryphal at best. The $250 million that MS invested wouldn't have made a difference when Apple lost a billion the same quarter and spent $100 million buying out PowerComputings Mac license.

Microsoft tried aggressively to get into mobile, search, and the music business. They failed at execution.

These are pretty awful questions, I'd guess maybe 20% are questions you would actually see in a tech company data science interview. The others are too easy ("How would you create a logistic regression model?"), too CS focused ("What are hash table collisions?"), or just nonsensical ("How many sampling methods do you know?").

In my experience DS interview q's are more contextual and focused on problem solving, since that's basically the job. One place did spend an hour asking questions of this type (e.g. we walked through the random forest algorithm and talked about the assumptions that various models make) but I don't think it's the norm.
i think that's a little off. there is no reason why visual programming cannot be version-able and comparable, and in some cases it is. labview has some facilities for this, however, i will concede they could be better.

but there is no inherent reason why text is better at this than visual programs. it's just that people haven't done it, which is the issue. everyone just assumes text is the natural way to interact with a computer, but yet most people forget they went through a lot of training, formal or informal, to get to that perspective. and one could argue that comparing text is not as good as comparing the differences between visual programs because the latter actually contains structure and relationships of how things are called more readily.

what you describe with two side-by-side windows of the same VI (i.e., function or code block or whatever) is exactly something that i have done with labview. a better visual comparator is not beyond reach.
I'm not sure what how Gmail is particularly locked-down compared to any other app. I'm not an Android developer, but it seems like there's not really a great way to add functionality to an app as a third party. If you want an app that does those things, you can still connect it with a Gmail account. In fact, there are many apps designed to connect with Gmail and add new features.
I really hope Intel doesn't fix it's game before AMD and Arm seriously sandwich them out of the consumer market.

5 years of decline in PC/x86 sales..
Intentionally terrible product lines of a monopoly not wanting to canabalize any higher pricing potential.

A Microsoft that isn't reaĺly sure if/why it still does desktops.

As someone who has been more occupied with Arm CPUs, I wonder what someone who was paying more attention to Intel would notice and I look forward to being able to scale up straight from Arm64 to genuine AMD64.

> While we probably won’t make big improvements in aging

Why? Ageing is molecular deterioration. In fact, all disease can be described as not being in the place they need to be or the structure/configuration they need to be.

Right now we have very few tools able to do anything more than assist the body's self-healing capabilities (including e.g. vaccines "training" the immune system) or some targeted biochemical attacks, or providing missing molecules. These are powerful, but it's like trying to fix an intricate detail while wearing boxing gloves. Actually, it's like the same metaphor but with boxing gloves the size of a city block.

In the coming decades we will develop molecularly precise tools able to manipulate individual molecules in-situ. I expect that at that time it will become quaint to talk of "ageing" rather than an amalgam of age-correleated diseases that are each addressable by molecularly precise treatments available for a price. A complete cocktail of treatments, which would take maybe a century to develop, would take any elderly person and give them a biological age of 25 with perfect health.

There is no biological reason why this is not possible. And every year we get closer to achieving molecular-scale tools.
I want to comment on and lament the loss of the "good old days," but I'm biased; I wrote several articles for them. They paid more than pretty much any other online only publication and were not only receptive to, but outright encouraged cold queries.
Just one example of anti science movements:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_the_Library_o...

While this singular event obviously falls short of proving anti science attitudes fully prevailed, it is generally agreed that "the Islamic world" in 1900 had less scientific knowledge compared to in 1200, when the majority of their citizens weren't even Muslims. As the ideology permeated more and more of life science (ie. Books and courses) retreated and were rewritten again and again to fit the ideology better. Everytime something was lost. Over time a lot was lost.

Even though Islamic did not quite destroy science it certainly destroyed the essential part: where science and religion conflicted, there was no additional investigation, no reconsilliation, no compromise. They chose for the utter dominance of their ideology, and anything even threatening a contradiction was destroyed, if necessary including the people behind it.

This is in fact not weird but rather the common choice of societies. The Vatican is unique in the fact that it paid considerable numbers of people to find and study things contradicting Canon, for centuries. It should be said that their attitude to contradictions outside of their institutions was very different. The theory may have been that with enough research the contradiction would be revealed not to exist. Many say this is the result of the classical Greek heritage of the church.
What if you were 90 years old but had the body of a healthy 25 year old?
It's entirely possible to do this at the OS level. It makes the scheduling problem much harder, yes, but a user can—for example—force their game to run only in one domain using CPU affinity, then somehow trigger the kernel to migrate all its memory to that domain. I know how to do the former, I haven't tried the latter.

It would be more difficult to do it automatically, but if NUMA systems become more common then I see no reason why it shouldn't be tried.

Triplebyte (YC S15) Is Hiring Account Managers
Triplebyte, http://triplebyte.com, has built a credentials blind process for evaluating engineering skill and helping companies hire great people from any background. We're profitable and our investors include the founders of Y Combinator, Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston. We were founded by Harj Taggar, the first non-founding partner at Y Combinator, and the co-founders of Socialcam (acquired by Autodesk with 100 million active users).

We're hiring Account Managers at Triplebyte. The details of this role vary between companies. At Triplebyte the goal of an Account Manager is helping companies get really good at hiring. The main way to achieve this is by making it easy for them to start using Triplebyte. This involves walking them through our software, explaining our process and answering their questions. Account Managers help build relationships with our companies so they can provide a great experience to candidates and exceed their hiring goals.

We also have a lot of data on how to run a great hiring process, gathered from observing the hundreds of companies we've worked with. Account Managers use this data to advise companies e.g. if their conversion of offers to hires is lower than our average, we want to help them build a plan to increase it. This work is consultative and rewarding, especially as you really get to know the companies.

The Account Management team at Triplebyte is still very early, you'd get a lot of responsibility immediately and have input into how the role and team evolves over time. It's an especially great role for anyone who wants to build expertise in a process that's key to the success of any company - hiring well. You can get an idea of the kind of data we've collected and analyzed on this topic at our blog: http://triplebyte.com/blog

You'll get to work with some great companies. Our customers include big technology companies like Apple, exciting late stage startups like Dropbox and Stripe, self driving car companies like Cruise and early stage companies innovating in areas like healthcare, education and hardware. At a recent CTO summit, senior engineering executives and leaders from over 160 companies including Apple, Google and Slack said:

_"Triplebyte has garnered a following. It's a service that helps candidates take coding quizzes that qualify them to connect with a number of jobs. As an employer, there's an advantage, because you only have to pay per hire you actually make."_

If you'd be interested in the role, please apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/triplebyte/a8647ccf-83e3-4f48-b9be-d396323926e2

I have to say, my discussions with Nexus/Pixel fans have usually been awful. Sorry. Habits I am guessing.
That Gboard "feature" is extremely annoying because it's almost always wrong. This is another case where artificial intelligence ends up being worse than no intelligence.
Sure. I'm not saying 5e killed every other D&D and clone system, just that it seems to have come done a good job at appealing broadly to what had become a very balkanized fanbase with separate communities that were hostile to each other's preferred systems.

Opera used to have its own debugging/inspection tool[1] as well. It was released in 2008, it was open-source[2] (unlike the browser), didn't required plugins like firebug at the time, had handy remote debugging, overall I enjoyed it the most. But it died with the browser. Honestly, I'm surprised it's still up somewhere.

Advanced Scientific Concepts built some actual photomultiplier LIDAR devices for DoD. Photomultipliers have very low latency - picoseconds. One photon in, one electron out. So they built an InGaAs sensor as the target of a photomultiplier tube. Sensitivity is very good, but the technology is expensive.
Isn't there a chance that in the next few years that the last mile competition will eventually be solved by wireless?

Weird, in all my decades of project management, I've never come across the term 'bikeshedding' before, but it is the perfect explanation for the syndrome I have seen hundreds of times in the past. Must be a US colloquial term that is not in wide use here in Australia maybe?

“While Excel 5 was being designed, Lotus had shipped a “new paradigm” spreadsheet called Improv. According to the press releases, Improv was a whole new generation of spreadsheet, which was going to blow away everything that existed before it. […] Of course, Improv is now a footnote in history. […] Why? Because in Improv, it was almost impossible to just make lists. The Improv designers thought that people were using spreadsheets to create complicated multi-dimensional financial models. Turns out, if they asked people, they would discover that making lists was so much more common than multi-dimensional financial models, and in Improv, making lists was a downright chore, if not impossible.”
