I just went through an episode with this kind of 'leader' - he basically demonstrated everything described in this article, with the end result being I no longer am employed at his company.

Unfortunately, leadership is not something that younger (<30) generations of people are learning to embrace, or even understand. There is such a narcissistic bent going on in the modern, Western world, that this should be no surprise - but it is really shocking to be faced with a CTO who absolutely has no idea how to foment team spirit, how to motivate his juniors, how to get people to enjoy doing the often-times-mundane-inane, boring, work that has to be done in modern times.

Perhaps it has always been that way, perhaps I - as a ~50 year old - am getting very jaded/off-my-lawn type, but I think there were definitely differences in the generations of managers that went through the hoops in the 80's, compared to all the new-school cargo-cult startup circus hijinks that pass as 'business' these days.

I truly believe that if you can't do the job of the people below you: you're not qualified to lead them. If you can't motivate people to work harder to solve the issues that they're stumbling on: you don't deserve leadership. If you can't get your team together to coordinate their activities in a way that makes Russian ballet seem like a circus full of bears - you need to get out of the way and get someone in who can handle the machine-like precision needed to coordinate an organization and start making real headway to building the business.

Alas, a lot of the startup-/venture- cult movements that are currently enjoying mainstream status don't really focus on this angle. We've become a selfish, materialistic, narcissistic species - at least in the tech world - which doesn't really pull much off except individual reward above all else. The desire to be 'new and not like our parents' is really getting in the way of civilization-building.

At least, having just suffered immensely at the hands of an absolutely incompetent, dufus manager, whose company has far too much money to waste on the build-vs-buy equation of startup building .. I just feel like we're devolving, yo.
You will need to buy a TB3 eGPU enclosure. These range anywhere from $200 to $500 and typically come without a GPU. There are some more expensive options (like the Aorus Gaming Box with a GTX 1070/1080 or RX 580) that already come with a GPU installed.

Here is a nice comparison of the eGPU enclosures available today: https://egpu.io/external-gpu-buyers-guide-2018/

My personal recommendations are the Akitio Node Standard/Pro or Sonnet Breakaway Box 350/550/650. These companies are reputable companies in the Thunderbolt hardware realm.

Note that I am not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned above.
You would need an external Thunderbolt 3 enclosure for your GPU
> the thought of needing to stand up to a high ranking employee like that is more than a little intimidating.

And not just that, but to be expected to "contribute to a discussion" in such a way that all your coworkers can see. I think as somebody who takes objection to that memo I'd probably be more inclined look for alternative work.

Cue Facebook with the fake victim complex.

I respect their level of propaganda skill how they are trying to shape the narrative into that they have been victimized, are fully justified and are not actually at fault.

What impresses me most is how homogenously fanatically unified their culture is.

It’s said a cult is that which can only survive by cutting itself off from reality.

What scares me is that people who are so fanatical about their mission and Corp are responsible for so much real human outcomes... The best lack all conviction the worst are full of passionate intensity.
These aren’t beta drivers. They’ve been released for quite some time and are updated with (almost) every macOS release. However I’d say they’re pretty barebones as Nvidia doesn’t seem to care too much about the Mac at this point.

This is a company that wants to be the default medium for private communications among friends and loved ones, yet deliberately makes security settings opaque and actively encourages oversharing. Anyone who doesn't see that analogy -- especially those employed at Facebook -- are already riding down the slippery slope.
I have actually had this asked of me. It was at a finance info-tech security company in the USA. The guy who was interviewing me was a total as*le and I regret not just walking out on him. He also asked me several questions which were probing of my marital status and family history/racial background.

I might have been asked this other times but that's the one I remember.
I think their whole approach was off - why even have warehouses, custom packaging, etc? Why not charge what it actually costs to ship something, plus a little more?

All they need is a bunch of vans that drive around and have a bunch of boxes and tape, basically ubers. They show up, package my thing up, and take it to the closest fedex store - enough said.

No custom boxes needed.
No warehousing.

"Why should we hire you?" is up there with Donald Trump style handshakes, group interviews, and other petty, controlling, derogatory, disrespectful, arrogant, insulting, pretentious, and abusively bureaucratic hiring techniques that are regrettably common.

The abusiveness in the question lies in it's asymmetry. It's like playing a catch/throw ball game with somebody and they intentionally throw the ball far enough to the side to where they know you can't catch it, but they want to see you try. The best move, of course, is to not subject yourself to the indignity, not to try, and to make them go pick up the ball. You should probably also stop playing ball with that morally deranged person.

The only reason, short of ignorance, I can imagine a hiring manager being motivated to ask a question like this is to find out if they can abuse you and get away with it. The willingness to be subjected to abuse is sometimes something that managers want in their employees.
I'm just a lowly small business owner, so my opinion isn't worth much. But if this is true, I feel it is a huge mistake. It feels like number chasing at best. Sure, Azure and online services (such as o365) are very profitable for the company, but I feel this is largely because of Windows not in spite of it.

If Windows erodes share or loses it's edge with corporations I feel like Azure & the online services will slide with it. But I don't have access to the data Microsoft execs do and I could be completely wrong. Maybe Azure is mostly Linux servers and o365 isn't really that important to their overall strategy.
It is, but I don't see how web browsers would need to interact directly with ActivityPub. That's just a way to settle on a json structure everyone will be using in their web application (that acts as AP client), as is the case in Mastodon.

Here with PeerTube the client interface doesn't interact with AP to watch videos or get them. It just requests the list directly to the server.
"Also, is Kurzweil part of Google Brain or separate. He doesn't really have nay background in NLP does he?"

From Wikipedia: "Raymond "Ray" Kurzweil (/ˈkɜːrzwaɪl/ KURZ-wyl; born February 12, 1948) is an American author, computer scientist, inventor and futurist. Aside from futurism, he is involved in fields such as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments.... Kurzweil was the principal inventor of... the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind,[3] the first commercial text-to-speech synthesizer,[4]... and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition."

He's been in the general space of NLP for quite a while.

I am specifically referencing the original PC version. There's a whole other library in the code dedicated to the mac platform implementation, as well as Linux. The reason uTorrent on Windows started small was because it didn't include much of any static linkages, but this depended on dynamically linking some libraries in Windows that Microsoft never removed. This is the dedication to backwards-compatibility I refer to.

Implementing a singly-linked list in Rust is much easier, because you can use `Option<Box<...>>`. (That is, each node in the list can hold the unique pointer to its tail, so it's easier for the compiler to prove to itself that everything you're doing is fine.)

Working through the Entirely Too Many Linked Lists book in general is super helpful, since it deliberately runs into the cases that are hard.

Implementing a hash table in Rust would probably be fine as a toe dip too. It's that multiple-references-to-each-object part that really burns you in the doubly-linked list case.

If you assume a driver’s wage is at least the Seattle minimum wage of $15 per hour, add nominal fulfillment and delivery costs of $5 per order (the contractor’s fuel, car etc.) and nominal sales and marketing and general administration costs of $5 per order, Amazon needs to fulfill close to eight minimum order ($35) deliveries per hour to breakeven just on the variable costs

Across 25 associates, the average number of orders was only 3.

There's a third option for how this service survives: increase adoption so that:

- variable SG&A drops from $5 per order

- stops are closer so delivery costs drop from $5 per order

- drivers can deliver more orders per hour

> Not if you don't want to deal with antispam bullshit, you don't.

The entire point of this move is part of their "dealing with antispam bullshit" service. What Mailchimp offers is not mail delivery. Anyone could provide that cheaply at near-unlimited scale. What they offer is the opportunity to piggyback on their good reputation as senders. Maintaining that reputation is necessary for the operation of the business.

> just deal with the fact that many of your messages will never arrive

This isn't quite right. It's more that your messages will be rejected at the destination.

I go through my mail once every couple of days, and I've learned to recognize "refinance with us" or "sell your house" mail by sight and throw it away unopened. Now, if I see an envelope that says (for instance) "Internal Revenue Service", I'm going to open it up. That's because of the good reputation (in a certain sense) of the sender.

The mortgage people could slap "IRS" on their mail and have a lot more people open it and read it. They would also have a number of stern, suited people come by to discuss federal law with them. But that wouldn't be censorship. It's not censorship to withhold your endorsement of someone else's communications.
Yep, it's just fate. Our genes determine our lives and there's nothing we can reasonable do about it. We're just leaves in the wind of life. Hard work will just make you feel bad so don't even try.
You are mistaken. At Facebook, the devils advocate would argue in favor of government regulation.

The reason Facebookers hate leakers so much is because it helps no one. The leaker gets to continue working his cushy software job while a bunch of PR people are forced to work overtime to control the situation. Facebook is going to continue to do whatever it wants to do, but they'll just be more secretive about it within the company. Boz could have easily written a memo with corporate-speak if he just wanted everyone to drink the Kool-Aid.
This is the goal alignment problem that MIRI, FHI, and some safety groups at Open AI are working on. It seems like a hard problem to get right (with bad consequences if not aligned super intelligence happens first).

It was much more nuanced than the headlines such as the one used by BuzzFeed in their original story [https://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanmac/growth-at-any-cost-top-face...]. He was trying to start a meaningful conversation, which is basically impossible to do under the constraint that you avoid giving adversaries any way to take your remarks out of context and spin them to manufacture outrage.
I agree, but it has something to do with very basic differences between people, how they view business, how they understand its goals.

Basically, in start-ups, the main goal and driving force is the desire to get rich, and this is how "success" is defined. Whereas for managers in bigger companies, especially more traditional ones, success is very much related with people, and especially workforce cuts are considered as a failure - of the company and of managers, regardless of the financial outcome for the shareholders.
But they are EEA members
>What terrible people.

The language was kind of funny to me even. Hunting down the leakers to make Facebook great again... the company sounds like the business version of the white house administration. If it's this difficult and requires this much secrecy to convince yourself that what you're doing isn't evil then maybe something is very wrong on a foundational level.
A Jarring Revelation
macOS doesn't currently have Nvidia drivers from this generation (from what I remember). It supports a handful of mobile cards and no more, which is the extent to which Nvidia has been implemented in Apple computers as of late.

Meanwhile, the past few generations of graphics gear in Apple computers has been a pretty wide range of AMD stuff. Vega, Polaris, FirePro have all been represented in the last 5 or so years. All they had to do was modify the driver to be able to read from the TB3 PCIe device rather than just an internal one.
Emily Waite: "Mark Zuckerberg has never really understood privacy. From Facebook's earliest days, he figured people [incl. Boz?] would eventually grow comfortable sharing everything with everyone-indeed, his business depended on it."

People at or near the top often have very different incentives from the rank and file. They want to stay afloat, or rise, and often that has little to do with their objective performance. Feedback from below is arguably one of the few things short of grossly obvious incompetence that can shake them from their perch.

And then they have to be the ones to support the whole idea of that feedback in the first place!

Overcoming a Battery's Fatal Flaw – News – Communications of the ACM
So, I'm able to recognize each individual word that cycles through the display, but I was unable to construct the narrative, and imagine the concepts conveyed. So I could verify that what I saw was a word, for each word shown to me, but lost all cognition of a prior word upon seeing the next word, leaving the words disconnected by a sort of partitioning amnesia induced by the processing overhead of word recognition.

I noticed that after I had failed to conceptualize the words, what my mind was doing when reading the raw source text from the input field, was it was referencing some of the text up front, and then performing a re-trace, after new information in subsequent sections and sentences.

This seems like a pretty important component, and highly dependent on the writer's style, and tone, which cannot be anticipated programmatically, thus, there doesn't seem to be a silver bullet rule for reading speed, universal to all passages of text.
