I'm in a similar boat - I've been approached twice in the past, and both times went on to the onsite interview day only to be told "We are unsure whether we want to hire you, so we will err on the side of caution and ask you to come back in a year".

However, I am still getting contacted randomly by their recruiters without any indication why I should invest energy to try again - the result will generally the same. Getting an answer to that question also turned out to be impossible, since I only got stock answers back. Really shameful for a company which (at least in my perception) prides itself on celebrating an engineer-driven culture (instead of one driven by HR).
Nvidia is currently in cashing out phase. They have monopoly and money flows in effortlessly. The cost performance ratio reflects this.

AMD will enter the game soon once they get their software working, Intel will follow.

I suspect that Nvidia will respond with its own specialized machine learning and inference chips to match the cost/performance ratio. As long as Nvidia can maintain high manufacturing volumes and small performance edge, they can still make good profits.

Yeah ive been to manhattan, I live drive and bike there. I'm a licensed yellow taxi driver too, though I don't start work till next week.

Latency is bad but thoroighput is amazingly good. With the high level of wealth theres no physical way short of congestion charges that manhattan wouldn't be clogged all the time.

Tbqh outside of the PM rush,core midtown, and the tunnel ramp areas, I find driving in manhattan during the day to be just fine. You don't go faster than a bicycle, but what do you expect? Thanks to the grid you are still able to make consistent progress toward your destination. When your vehicle size is so inefficiently large in such a dense place, merely matching speed of the effecient modes is a freaking miracle, not a disaster.

It's true manhattan has a certain amount if hierarchy but its optional, unlike a classic suburban pattern. You can still take 28th instead of going to 34th or 42nd if you want, and depending on how far you're going this may be faster.
You meant FDR and West Side. These are only 6 lanes each and only contribute about as much as an extra avenue each.

Can you explain why LA and manhattan size or aspect ratio make them incomparable rather than just hand waving? I've thought a lot about how a green wave system can be applied even in a very square town.

This is similar to taking standardized tests where you are smarter than the question-writer.

What would you select as the answer to the following question:

"
x is an integer. If x² = 16, then x =?

A. 1.

B. 2.

C. 4.

D. 16.

E. Not enough information.

"

Think hard and tell me what you would select. For me it is VERY clear that I have to select C, 4. It is just as clear that it is the wrong answer, and the correct answer is E, because x can be -4 or 4, and you do not have enough information. How do I know to select C? Mostly, from the context. "x is an integer" is a weird and stupid way to begin a question like that, the whole question is pretty stupid. The choices are just natural whole numbers, and ones that someone might select.

Still, the question has a VERY clear correct answer, which is E. It is not the answer you should select.

Likewise if you are being given a technical interview by someone reading stupid template questions, then you need to figure out how dumb the template is, and answer on that level. It's not about being correct.

The question "standardized test" I just made up and answered should be answered incorrectly. Don't answer questions like that correctly.

> I sometimes feel jealous of developers at agile startups keeping pace with the most new technologies and frameworks are desirable.

Funny how the grass is always greener... Many times I feel like the grumpy ol' man, shaking my fist at the young'uns for not recalling the lessons of yesteryear when jumping on the latest tech band wagon.

There's definitely balance to be had, calibrated accordingly with your appetite for risk, but in my experience the "boring" tech almost always wins the cost/benefit equation. Too many times have I seen new developments fall into the "instant legacy" category simply because the tech they use isn't yet well known and explored (to them, or at all.)
I've been working for about a year and a half on https://edabit.com which started as a side project for me to learn React.

I wanted to do the no blue lights thing but incandescent light bulbs which one can place on a lampshade and which basically act as candlelight are forbidden in Brazil (for being inefficient). You can still buy the yellow fluorescent ones (or the LED ones) but they are absurdly expensive here for some reason (probably tax-related). Economically they still are more efficient if you keep them for 5years+ but it's just ridiculous that you can't get the incandescent ones which used to cost pennies.
The current MBP is by far my favorite. The keyboard breaking is very annoying and the touchbar is nothing special but doesn't impede me.

Beyond that, though, 1) the cooling is the best, every previous model melted my lap, 2) I absolutely love the flexibility of USB-C, 3) I can charge whatever side suits the cable better which depends on where I am, 4) I can use powerbanks for emergency juice, 5) the screen is brighter than ever, 6) it's thinner and lighter than the previous gen, 7) the SSD is faster than the previous gen by quite a bit, 8) ditched the MagSafe proprietary power connector, I now use generic USB-3 stuff and have numerous chargers that work fine. USB-C's withdrawal tension is just right to avoid all the issues MagSafe helped with.

Secession wasn't the official start of the war, I would say it was Sumter, which happened shortly after Lincoln took office.

I learned that Windows has another nice variation on this: When you vertically resize (not drag!) a window to the top, it vertically maximizes the window. On Linux I configure a double click on the top bar to do this. I like to vertically maximize my terminals.
I don’t believe so. With genotyping costs continuing to rapidly fall, CRISPR, and other gene editing techniques, we’re going to continually improve on our ability to self-improve, “spell checking” errors out of our genomes if you will. There is great peril in us causing cascading anomolies that can be passed on genetically, but if we can master gene editing, we’re going to see incredible gains in quality of life for each future generation.

A sound strategy (IMHO) would be for humanity to target the most costly genetic anomalies and iterate from there, using cost savings to accelerate the process.

This is a weird answer. But it was probably the project that almost ruined my career.

I once started a project to add in A/B testing to a legacy platform that really wasn’t supportive of any such changes. The project was a technical success but a political disaster. The aftermath made it very clear that my manager was hoping I would fail so that he would have an excuse to manage me out. When it didn’t fail he became a lot more obvious in his attempts to get rid of me. I also suspect that some of the issues that happened during the project were setups, but I can’t prove it.

Why am I proud of that clusterfuck? Because it proves that I can still succeed even when powerful people dont want me too. The problems I had at that job were political and not due to a lack of ability on my part. I’m not saying that I am without fault in allowing my relationship with my manager to degrade to tgat point. But I gained a lot of confidence from delivering a working product despite adversity. That confidence led me to a much better job.

That's not true. People want an "intuitive" UI, meaning familiar. While there are some outliers, most people find Windows and OS X UI conventions familiar. Sticking to these conventions as "sane defaults" pleases most users.
From a usability standpoint, Apple's UX is genuinely bad.
>For GPUs, there are further interesting options to consider next to buying. For example, Cirrascale offers monthly rentals of a server with four V100 GPUs for around $7.5k (~$10.3 per hour). However, further benchmarks are required to allow a direct comparison since the hardware differs from that on AWS (type of CPU, memory, NVLink support etc.).

Can't you just buy some 1080s for cheaper than this. I understand there is electricity and hosting costs, but cloud computing seems expensive compared to buying equipment.

Maybe, maybe not. They have the advantage that they make the hardware, so they're not paying as much retail as nvidia is charging them for their cards. I don't think there's any way you can say the TPU is cheaper compared to buying your own system. If Google decides to release it to the public, that's a different story. Also, keep in mind that Google allows you to mix and match the CPU core count to GPU, whereas AWS doesn't. It's possible that the Google cloud price with fewer CPU cores will be much cheaper than the AWS instance.

Manhattan is not a disaster, it's a miracle:

1. except for midtown core, pm rush hour amd near NJ tunnel ramps, during the day cars travel almost as fast as any other mode, despite taking up so much more space than the effecient modes

2. This is perhaps the densest wealthiest place on the planet. The demand for driving is insanely high and tje available supply of space is insanely low. And for some incomprehensible reason there is no limit placed on driving whatsoever. Any yahoo with any car can drive in and out and around manhattan and park anywhere all for free(1). Under these insane conditions you'd expect average speeds to degrade to where walking is faster. Most of thr time kn most of Manhattan this doesn't happen. It's a huge success story.

3. There are better ways to slow down traffic than by preventing thru traffic. Just narrowing the road works wonders. As a pedestrian / cyclist i care about this a lot. There are scary roads in manhattan (eg avenues) but the very narrowest roads that are swingle lane between parked cars prevent a driver from going too fasr for fear of hitting the parked cars.

> But I can't see how it's less complex than linear code.

I am being misinterpreted here (in a peculiar way that has happened before on HN...). I wrote that it does not increase the complexity "in any measurable fashion".

It seems that you interpreted this as "concurrency is less complex than non-concurrency", when in reality I am saying "concurrency is a tiny bit more complex than non-concurrency" (extra emphasis on "tiny").

Now, back to the topic:

Asynchronous programming is strictly speaking the simple idea that code will be run later when some conditions are met. For example, running a callback when a network response is received from the "fetch" API in modern JS, with all I/O handled behind the scenes by an event engine of sorts.

I do not believe that this concept provides any measurable increase in cognitive load. You only concern yourself with these devices where they are used, and they are extremely simple to wrap your head around.

In another model, you may have full parallelism and shared memory access, in which case you need to be more careful to only use thread safe structures. Even then, unless you do something stupid™, everything is fine, and the cognitive load is increased globally but only mildly so with a model similar to goroutines and channels.

Finally, you may have to design and use synchronized/atomic data structures, in which case things increase in difficulty. While this does increase cognitive load in a small area of the code, I does not increase the cognitive load over the entire application. However, just like not all application need to design a cryptographic protocol, not all applications need to design concurrent data structures even if it uses concurrency. Thus, one should additionally note that this localized overhead is not a universal overhead of all concurrent programming.

BTW, I do not find that goroutines present less cognitive load than pthreads ("threading") and a CSP library. They simply present syntactic sugar for a better developer experience. They also give an M:N threading implementation unlike pthreads, but that's an implementation detail.
