The best case would then be that at the 501st element, the JIT has suddently made the code so fast each subsequent item is practically instant. In that case, the 1000 run would be as fast as the 500 run, not significantly faster.

EDIT: Maybe what happened is that the 500 case made the engine conclude that the function is called frequently enough to be optimized, and the 500 run both spent a while with the slow version and spent some time optimizing it, while the 1000 case got to exclusively use the optimized version.

Just goes to show that benchmarking complex multi-stage JITs can be hard.
INTERESTING, thanks for sharing. Please, how is the keyboard? To me, more than anything, what made the HP calc fantastic was the great keyboard - which really matters when you start using them in anger.

They strongly opposed it[1], but there are fewer options available to fight it. With net neutrality, a lawsuit attacks how the FCC are interpreting a 1934/1996 law, and they can show that violating that law is hurting Mozilla. With FOSTA, there's no clear damages and any lawsuit would need to argue the passed law is unconstitutional.

Sure, because I should have to meticulously skim the news to be sure I know exactly how I'm implicated by your shitty security setup...

God, I hate that this drip-drip style of press release is legal.
Of course. Of course marketers are just allowed to track specific numbers for nebulous marketing reasons. Of course the phone companies just hand that feature out to whoever the fuck they want. What kind of god damn terrible security is this? What is wrong with the FCC? Oh yeah they were bought to exclusively terrorize the competitors of large telecom companies.

I remember when cell phones first started becoming commonplace and people thought I was crazy for having doubts. I hate being right.
The article is mathematically unsound and provides no proof or model whatsoever of what they claim.
It does not specify a vm or version. I assume it's v8 on node, but there's no way to infer what version was used.

If using node, use process.hrtime() rather than console.time()/timeEnd():
https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_hrtime_t...

Then, computing the length multiple times is not a good idea. You should save the length in a variable:

// no
for(let i=0; i<posts.length; i++) {

// yes
for(let i=0, n=posts.length; i<n; i++) {

Finally, it is not recommended to analyze performance in this manner. A slight little change elsewhere in your program can affect the performance very abruptly.

This is because the gatekeepers of performance are: inline caching, hidden classes, deoptimizations, garbage collection, pretenuring, etc.

I especially like that most of the things on your list are not ones where there is a "right answer" for all organizations. Some organizations _should_ move fast and break things, others must not. Having worked at Fortune 500 companies running factories with many toxic chemicals that need to be tightly controlled, and travel magazines, and university accounting IT, and startups, and consultancies making websites for restaurant chains, I can tell you from personal experience that the "right answer" for many of these things is different. Most people can work well in some of them, and not in others.
I recently read "Outline" by Rachel Cusk, and it made me think a lot about the importance of listening, and how much you can learn about another person (and, through them, yourself). "Listening" isn't really something that'll change your worldview, but it's definitely a tool to enable you to do so.

That aside, the book is just very well written and really quite enjoyable to read, which is never something that hurts.
> continually begging for the government to control and regulate the Internet

Some of what government does is formalize things people come up with on their own and provide various institutions for reinforcing and administering those things. Property itself, for example.

The relevant policy proposals where net neutrality is concerned mostly formalize the operating considerations that the "independent hacker culture of the 90s" came up with. When some private stewards of net infrastructure defect from those considerations to plans that have significant drawbacks and no plausible benefits beyond profit margins, it seems reasonable to trust institutions that are accountable to the public in a different way.

"Government control" also doesn't seem like a particularly apt characterization of net neutrality policy, but who knows, maybe you also characterize the FDA as government control of what you eat and assault laws as government control of your actions.
We're still not "removed from this" in the US; private prisons are basically indentured labour.
> successfully implementing Model 3 mass production

For comparison on mass production: "more than 15 million Model Ts were manufactured in all, reaching a rate of 9,000 to 10,000 cars a day in 1925, or 2 million annually" [1]. Toyota was producing 13,400 units per day in 2014.

Model3 is currently somewhere around 300 to 500 per day.

I think remote job boards are good to if a steady but remote job is preferable over freelance contracts. I definitely am not stumping for upwork at all unless you're in a bind, but if you have a decent grade on there you can get the better jobs but it's still a pile of crap I agree.

The best science fiction and fantasy begins by taking a few specific assumptions, which may be fantastical, but then exploring the consequences of those assumptions in a disciplined way. For example having one form of FTL travel with known limitations in an SF setting and exploring the possibilities within those rules.

Writers that take your approach - it’s all made up so I’ll just make up new rules whenever so feel like it - are rarely satisfying because the reader can’t trust anything or reason about the setting or the characters choices.

This is the problem with J.J. Abrams approach Star Trek and Star Wars. He seemed to take a special glee in arbitrarily violating established conventions in the settings with respect to things like how Warp Drive and Transporter technology work in Star Trek.
I was directly responsible for negotiating prices for ongoing engagements just like this (even more long term). For an engagement like this, we'd probably agree to $40 per hour. At 25 hours per week for 12 weeks, that's a $12k for a single interpreter for that engagement.

The interpreter we'd send would be qualified, but may not be licensed (which is fine and legal under the ADA definition).

You mentioned "reasonable accommodation" earlier, and I think what you're trying to argue is "undue hardship." So, you're the one that gave me numbers...

If a bootcamp charges $15k per student, and they graduate 60 people per year (you mentioned in another comment), that brings a revenue to $900k. Even if the bootcamp needed to pay $30k for one student to have a contracted interpreter, that's only 3% of their yearly revenue. I'm not a tax law expert, but I'd imagine you can also write off the cost of interpreting services as a business expense. It'd be pretty difficult to look at those numbers and see an undue hardship on their business.

Even given that open-plan offices are disproportionately harmful to women, it's part of an absurd whack-a-mole to enumerate and eradicate the myriad specific cases of "women are harmed by being in contact with men" instead of either (a) finding ways to reduce the mistreatment in the large, or (b) calling for segregation. If you put people in individual offices, you'll likely be able to do studies showing "men don't visit women's offices, freezing them out of the informal social hierarchy", or "women feel threatened when men visit their offices to talk to them in private".

(The "calling for segregation" bit is interesting because, of course segregating men and women would be sexist too ("Old boys' club"), but if putting men and women together is bad, and segregating men from women is bad, then we need to stop arguing about how to shuffle up the men and women, and instead argue more about how to make men and women get along together.)
I'm a recruiter and have heard this more times than I can remember as the reason given for why a candidate is not suitable.

I think it is simply a convenient, sufficiently vague, unarguable reason to say no.

It's important to understand that people feel very uncomfortable rejecting another person, and in recruiting, companies really prefer not to give any reason at all - this is because they don't want the candidate to come back arguing with the reasons given for the rejection.

So "not a cultural fit" is just an easy way to say no thanks, whilst giving a "reason" that can't be argued with.

It's not discriminatory.
"Prove" is a high bar. But for example, I once worked in a factory where everyone was cautious with what they said and how they said it (in a way which your question is not, btw), so as not to hurt others' feelings. Another factory, in the very same building, had a culture of saying everything as bluntly as possible, often with profanity involved.

Same industry, same demographic mix, same company even. Very different cultures (which, interestingly enough, both worked well). Then, they merged the two factories into one organization, and you saw that "culture fit" was not at all an abstraction; the first year was very rough for all concerned, and a lot of people quit.

Also, in this case, because it was a bunch of engineers with a similar demographic mix, not a code word for racism or any other unethical practice. It was culture; I can think of no better word for it.

This is an indicator of a large scale operation. Scaling an operation entails a degree of tolerance to the degradation in the quality of the product, especially when the marginal benefit from quantity significantly exceeds that of quality.

Cyber space is a high leverage domain which rules out the possibility of a shortage in resources from the opponent. It is also a recent evolving space which makes it more difficult to assess the opponents capabilities, reach and sophistication.

By its nature this operation seems to be part of a bigger destabilisation strategy, maybe a stress test to validate different tactics.

I would be really worried once the ads become well written which would increase the complexity of the situation since quality measures can be manipulated.

In other words once they can fake "fake news", things might get really weird.
I'm getting the impression that there's some kind of axe-grinding going on in the general region of WSJ when it comes to Elon. Not sure why.

It's definitely a mixed bag across the industry and even across individuals at the same company.

To some people culture fit might mean "I'd hang out with this person on Sundays." This of course is problematic and can let in all kinds of biases leading to discrimination.

Ideally culture fit is about whether a person can fit in to the processes in place. Do they value testing? Are they comfortable with the level of ambiguity that will be found in their assignments? Etc.

I'm in favor of the latter, but it needs to be evaluated based on direct questioning to limit the impact of biases i.e. "Would you be comfortable being required to have 100% test coverage on the code you write?" I've certainly seen folks come out of an interview confident that someone wouldn't be comfortable with ambiguity just because they said that at their current job they are given detailed specs to implement.

You can't separate NN from being government control of the internet. Even if the government made some bad deals with ISPs isn't really relevant. And you can try to do mental gymnastics to get around it, but what NN supporters basically say is, "the companies that provide our access the internet can't be trusted to act in the best interest of the consumer, so we need the government to tell them how to do their job".

And the same thinking has led to GDPR and FOSTA, and to ignore that is to ignore a pretty sad change in people's opinion: the government is now more trustworthy than tech companies in protecting people's use of the internet.

And maybe sadder is that this new thinking is probably warranted, but let's not make excuses. Warranted or not, NN needs to be called out for what it is.
Best joke on hn today. Keep dreaming, dreamer.
I meant that in the same way as there is likely a correlation between people who are good at math and people with advanced degrees in engineering, math, science and finance.
No disagreement here.

"Culture fit" is a lazy term that, at best, means easy compatibility of work style. Normally, though, it means "like me", and from there it's a pretty short road to unethical forms of discrimination.

I would argue that most companies really want/need "culture add" and "values fit". The stated values of the company tend to at least be aspirational and exclusive of things you don't want at your company. But the culture is an emergent aspect of the people who happen to be there, what they're into (good or bad), and how they prefer to interact. If you only want people who fit into that box, you may be numerically growing, but you're stagnant in perspective.
Well, technically general relativity has no real problems with either of those (there shouldn't be, given that general relativity is the main justification for both). It's the quantum mechanics behind them that's not really well understood.
That's so weird, I can't help but feel like that would only ever result in it coming up with something that initially got it a better result and the rest of the network adjusted around it and is able to carry the weight of that weirdness.

What IS interesting is that it shows just how resilient the networks that come out of this really are that they can support such weirdo activations.

But there are other elements of introspection that should absolutely be handled by neural nets, things like choosing how deep a given network needs to be should be accomplished by other neural nets specifically looking for trends while training.
Synthetic data is based on a model, i.e., a simplified version of reality. Given deep learning's need for lots of training data (to achieve variety), I don't see how synthetic data can help much except as an initial accelerator. If this is being sold as a replacement for real data, then it sounds like a scam to me.

Somewhere in the ballpark of a thousand 747 flights at maximum range, maybe a little less.

The Falcon 9 carries 147 metric tons of RP-1, which is functionally the same thing as Jet A (both are kerosene), while a 747-400 carries 165 metric tons of Jet A.

For a very broad estimate, I'd say the carbon footprint of a thousand Falcon 9 rocket launches is somewhat less than the carbon footprint of a day's worth of aircraft travel, globally.

To take the analogy further, if education in its various forms represent the patches, they have been MITM'd, compromised, and sold on the dark web. This seems to be the achilles heel of a consumer culture: it's also in the corporate interests to have weak education and psychologically compromised consumers.
That’s more laying off than firing. Forcing a cause to fire/lay off someone makes the company think long and hard before hiring you since they’ll be stuck with you, therefore less hiring. Not to mention “unfirable” workers leads to less quality.

I just want to raise a couple of points.

It's not necessarily always true that corporate donations are simply to bribe politicians into doing their bidding (which is what I took away when I read your commend). Companies will give money to politicians who are already aligned with their interests.

I watched a video once which tried to address the idea that Ted Cruz was being bribed by Comcast. Once of the arguments put forward was, sure, he may have received donations from some Comcast employees. However we shouldn't conflate that to mean Comcast was paying him money. Other politicians like Hillary and Bernie also would have received donations from Comcast employees.

Also, opponents of Net Neutrality actually do make some good points against the role of government in regulating the internet. Here's a debate where Nick Gillespie (a libertarian) and Michael Katz argue against Mitchell Baker and Tom Wheeler on whether NN is good. By the end of the debate, Nick and Michael are able to convince more people to consider opposing NN than to support:

Parenting advice sites all point out that it helps child immunity. But the underlying studies are based on the ingestion of immunoglobulin, which doesn't even survive digestion. So essentially it protects the esophagus against waterborne illnesses, ie, mainly those no longer common in the developed world. That definitely makes sense in terms of evolutionarily-relevant child mortality threats, but that context is always omitted.
