I'll latch onto your post to also recommend the podcasts "The Fall of Rome" [0] and "Tides of History" [1], both by Patrick Wyman. He's a PhD who specialized in Late Antiquity, and often looks at Roman history/society from the lens of networks, trades, and the movement of people and goods over time. The one caveat I have is to bear with him in terms of the repetitive/boring ads he sticks into the middle of his episodes. I like to imagine his podcasts as an audio version of a History Channel show -- at least what the History Channel was supposed to be rather than what it's devolved into.

I was an arbitrator before I was a lawyer. I was not an agent of either party, and the consumer won more frequently than did the business.

Based on professional observation, consumers/customers (meaning individuals) generally win arbitration cases against businesses. Employees tend to lose. Haven't seen enough B2B arbitration cases to comment on any sort of pattern.
I did a similar (but much more ugly) project a few years ago, and found that the result was that one could then hear various electrical crackling sounds from inductors transformers and capacitors, especially from the power supply and motherboard. It actually sounded worse than a macbook pro which didn't make as much electrical noise.
They could solve that problem by getting that state to honor the permits from the state issuing the permits to their bodyguards.
Pet peeve: the name "Kialo" in Esperanto doesn't mean the type of reason the people who chose it think it does. "Kialo" means something closer to "motivation" or "cause" [1]. "Racio" is "reason" in the sense of debate or logic [2].

(It's unfortunately common for non-Esperantists attempting to use Esperanto words or sentences not to fact-check their translations. There are plenty of fluent speakers who would be glad to fact-check a translation you're going to publicize. Shout-out to the New Yorker who did fact-check a recent one-off Esperanto translation.)

On the topic of the article though, I've come to believe a similar thing lately, with one caveat – reality is often a forcing function to align the "honor world" with logic. Cognitive dissonance can only get you so far, and e.g. in the workplace I find it easiest to resolve debates by demonstrating hard consequences of some particular faulty logic. The places we see the most disconnect in today's society tend to be the places where demonstrating consequences is difficult (e.g. global warming).

My 1080TI also has an obnoxious whine that precisely reflects activity on the card. On the upside, when I’m working in CUDA, I can listen to my algorithms and get a hint at how they are working :)
Back around 2001 I took my desktop build (Celerin 300A oveeclocked to 450MHz), installed a giant passive heat sink on the CPU and PSU, put in an 8MB IDE flash drive, and network booted off a server in my laundry room. I thought I was finally noiseless. But the end result was worse. I had coil whine out of my power supply any time CPU usage ramped up. If I was in the same room, I could tell whenever my email pinged the server or if a cron job ran. It was both instructional (why is my cpu ramping and I’m not even logged in?) and really annoying.

It's the official city budget minus power utilities (which they merge into the budget for some weird reason). Just look that up.

>> Music is evergreen whereas many (most?) Podcasts are not

Good feedback and something I have given quite a bit of thought too. I agree to some extinct however I would take the other side and say that the majority of podcasts are evergreen (or at least have a long shelf life) such as story or research shows like This American Life, RadioLab or interview types like The Tim Ferriss Show, Joe Rogan Experiment. The minority of podcasts that are not evergreen would be current affair or political types of shows - which I agree may not be a good fit for this.

>> You'd learn more about me by seeing an hours worth of my spotify plays compared to seeing that i listened to a one hour podcast about basketball

This is where Repod is trying to come in. I don't see myself wanting to see an hours worth of tracks that you listened, I may play one of two of your songs but it would likely end at that. In fact that would inundate my feed if I am following multiple users who also listened to the same amount of tracks. Rather, if you listen to 3x podcasts a week then that would be much easier to scroll through in a feed of many users that you follow.

Podcast episodes offer much more depth as well. Being a basketball fan I would want to know if your basketball podcast was worth the 1 hour long listen, or have a conversation with you about it (i.e. if the episode compared MJ vs Lebron then I might comment on your feed with my own thoughts - or see what you thought about it), or if I really liked it then I tend to share episodes via text with my group of friends/family.

This method dramatically improves over previous approaches to text classification, and the code and pre-trained models allow anyone to leverage this new approach to better solve problems such as: Finding documents relevant to a legal case; Identifying spam, bots, and offensive comments; Classifying positive and negative reviews of a product; Grouping articles by political orientation;

I'm starting a new project where I'm given many recipes and I need to take in a free form text of recipe ingredients (e.g. "1/2 cup diced onions", "two potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes", etc.) and build a program that identifies the ingredient (e.g. onion, potato), as well as the quantity (e.g. 0.5 cup, 2.0 units). Could I use something like Fast.ai to tackle this problem?

I wish I knew enough compsci to know why functional programming is useful. I read about half the book, and while interesting from a learning perspective I don't know where I can apply it.

There's really no reason to ever buy anything from Johnie Walker. If you want to drink whisky on a budget in the US, don't buy Scotch.

You'll do much better in the US with a Rittenhouse Rye, or Buffalo Trace bourbon. Hell, even a basic Jameson is better than Johnie Walker Black.

The Johnie Walker Green is a respectable whisky, but like so many high-brand respectable whiskies, it can't punch its weight with other things in its price range. (I've never tried the Blue, admittedly.) That's the same issue with e.g. the Jack Daniels range. It's not that it's bad for mixed drinks, but you can get some genuinely good stuff for cheaper -- stuff that'd so good you'll feel bad about pouring it into a cocktail.
Reddit critics throw around the “remember digg” meme a lot, but I really think this time it may happen. The reddit exodus is coming, and Reddit has no lock-in mechanism other than the 1% of community members who post content.

Actually, same goes for Facebook, when is it going to have its MySpace moment?

In some ways it feels like we are on the verge of another one of these cycles, ala “web 2.0”

The tech industry is so young that we cannot predict which processes are cyclical. Perhaps there is some social/economic/psychological certainty that we do not understand, underpinning not only the growth and success of major tech companies, but also their inevitable failures.
Oh for sure, the current rate of aggressive expansion and new breweries both in the US and Australia is unsustainable. My armchair assessment is the Australia will start to see an uptick in small brands folding because they're unsustainable in the next 2-3 years

This is really a reductio ad absurdum. But if you think your boss is dishonest with you, then go find a new boss. Dishonesty instantly destroys trust, and unless it’s about something entirely trivial, it’s almost impossible to restore it.

A trustless workplace cannot be functional. You can point to examples of workplaces that are dysfunctional if you like, but it’s something I refuse to contribute to, or even tolerate. I don’t feel an ounce of remorse for any person I’ve fired for dishonesty, and it’s a practice I’ll continue with.

Perhaps other employers are more tolerant of it than I am, but all people hate being lied to. Some people do use lies to get ahead, but it comes at the expense of integrity, and youre equally capable of getting ahead with honesty and integrity (qualities that most people like, unsurprisingly).
Quite the opposite - I got tackled and hit my head on the ground. An injury that might have been prevented with a helmet.

Similarly, rule #4: Google candidate. What happens if candidate doesn't have Google presence? Or if there are other people with the same name as the candidate who have weird websites or videos posted somewhere. Give me a break, let's not get paranoid about hiring. You can always let someone go.

I've never been either old enough (47) or cool enough (-20C) to really give a shit about vi/vim or emacs and co. I merely tolerate them and can do the very basics.

I use joe by preference at the console ("boredom" if you like - no real excitement) and live with nano. vi and emacs I merely tolerate because I generally have to look up something.

kate's alright - she's a pretty lass (for an editor) but needs a lot of Plasma and QT.
The showmanship is actually a critical component. In addition to the knowledge, and the ability to taste, service is (talking to the customer, understanding what they might like, opening the bottle, pouring (and washing) the glasses, are all key skills upon which sommeliers are measured. Clearly there's an element of showmanship (I don't mean this to be derogatory) involved in service.
I think people are perhaps downvoting you for the joke but it is a really important question.

A or B?

A - Design a custom typeface in 3 months for a project

B - Use a proven typeface from one of the world's best designers, say Adrian Frutiger's Univers that has been tested and updated for digital medium?

I am a bit old fashioned I guess. There is so much beauty in Didot, Univers or DIN than today's quickly churned out fonts. Technology has changed, but the methodology hasn't and an impeccable font takes a better half of the decade to perfect.

My first computer had an Intel 8080 so when I got a 6502 it seemed so backward. How could you do anything with that? Then when the 68000 came along it was wonderful and put both the others to shame. I never understood why IBM didn't use it. I still have a hard copy of a preprint of the 68K manual dated 1979.

When I graduated from high school I was 155 pounds - not exactly large. Which is part of my point here. For pro calibre players, significant physical growth often happens in those college and early pro years. If you've never stood next to a professional player - even the smaller ones - they are physical freaks, at least during their playing years. The typical pre-college player in this country is a much more normal-bodied person, thus assuming good technique, etc, they are no more at risk playing American Football than any other sport.

I'm continually surprised that these articles on quantum computing never mention D-Wave, who have a working 2000 qubit machine. Sure, it's not a gate model, but it's working and available today, exhibits macroscale quantum effects, and is well on its way to demonstrating quantum advantage on optimization problems.

It's always the same old, 5-qubit useless IBM machine, when production, commercially available quantum machines are actually being built right now. They have a real PR problem when articles like this never mention D-Wave.

problem is there's two things going on here with "trusting your gut"

his gut was actually mainly telling him the person was great...

but there was something fishy about their work history. Which caused a niggle.

My experience is, and I'd guess for most people who have recruited a lot, when you find someone who is good, it's obvious. So, in this case he probablly had found someone good for the job. ( depending on how they validated the persons skills )

I'd want to give the guy an opportunity to explain... The deception of having worked for a company that he never did is a pretty serious deception, not quite a minor altering of the facts, but I'd still want to know a bit more about the reason for the deception.

did it mean the candidate did it to get the opportunity to interview? and if he didn't do it he may not of got the opportunity to interview? In which cased I may be sympathetic.

Or, perhaps there was bad blood from previous employment? or, is there something more neferous going on, fraud, sexual misconduct, etc. This would be an instant no go for me.
But they will say - "Oh, fonts are all about subtle things". Yes and no, you're wrong. The search domain for fonts is extremely large and that's why it takes forever, in some cases a decade, to design a really timeless font. Not in 3 months, or worse - modify Netflix Sans and pawn it off as "One of a kind".

You’re ignoring that fact that honesty is expected in some contexts and not in others. In business it’s not dishonest to withhold information from you’re competitors, or to even make a bluff in front of them. In the CIA it’s not dishonest to withhold information from your adversaries, or even manipulate them to your advantage depending on the context. Although I’m sure many CIA employees practice moral relativism to some extent.

In any case, the CIA and a normal working environment have a lot of differences, so you can’t really take ordinary workplace expectations and dismiss them because they’re not compatible with the CIA environment.
Is that whitelisting routes? I’m sure there’s a good solution, I’m just not sure how to make sure I’ve got the full surface area properly covered (which naively feels tricky to do with GraphQL but again I’m still trying to understand what are the best practices)
And now compilers will make sure your data structures are aligned. Adding circuitry and compromising performance for lazy programmers is a bad idea. This is one thing RISC-V has carried over and I'm not sure they have justified the decision to do so.
"I've conversed with many people who have done this to themselves, and they present as drug addicts to me, not as fully-functioning, let alone super-functioning, humans. Rather than grow as human beings, they're growing as some weird alien species."

This seems unfairly judgmental, and even worse I don't understand what kind of basis you're using to make that judgement. If it's just an ambiguous feeling, I have to say that sounds pretty unscientific.

For most of human history there has been addiction. It's just as valid a part of the human condition as anything else. Only in the last century or so has it become so stigmatized and relegated to fringe behavior. The vast majority of humanity has always been addicted to some substance or behavior or another, most likely including you.

Just for the sake of conversation. I feel like a lot of this self-experimentation is incredibly difficult to quantify, and you have to be aware that when you believe you've discovered something or made progress the easiest person to fool will be yourself. How do we determine whether or not our default mode network is switched off without an MRI machine? How do we communicate the thoughts and feelings of that state to another person in a way that enables them to do the same thing or recognize those results reliably? It's extremely subjective. Nobody knows very much about this field, and those who claim to know are likely charlatans.

This argument gets repeated a lot but I don't get the logic. If you don't like ZTE products don't buy them or even ban their use or import. ZTE doesn't just sell to the US market though. How is forcing ZTE out of business a proper solution to your concern about spying?

Edit: Please note that I am responding specifically to the argument that the ban was "something that guarantees that ZTE won't be making products for the US market that are designed to spy on Americans", which I have seen being used by politicians and other commentators.

I disagree that American Football tackling technique doesn't emphasize head protection. That is literally the first thing that every coach, every parent, every referee says to kids from the moment they start playing. It's ritual, IE: "low man wins," "keep your head up". An unsafe tackle is a pretty good way to get benched.
This is also what I did, going straight to the exercises except I used Calculus I by Apostol which covers some Linear Algebra. Perfect book if you need to redo math skills you've forgotten though plenty of times I had to Wikipedia, Khan Academy, and math.stackexchange in the beginning.

There's also this free book, no answers though you could stackexchange if really stuck. I finished most of Apostol before starting it

You don't really need compsci to understand that.

A pure function is more of a declaration of truth than a list of steps. When your whole application is made up of declarations of truth, it is simpler to reason about and rearrange.

It's simply the fact that the function depends on nothing but its inputs (but includes all the surprising ramifications of that).

My position is that, in his own words, the applicant "may have been our best performing AE", but the solution was to reject him.

As for misrepresenting oneself, what's the actual problem? If he's got the ability to do the job, who cares if he lied to get through the Byzantine interview process? And, as I already said, employers (management) lie all the time.

You accuse him of "cashing in." If that is meant as a value free statement, my apologies. You then state that "he seems like an icon. Something long lasting."

Oddly, he just seems like an author, to me. If he is a figurehead, I missed that there was a movement. Is there more subtext to this? I assumed he just had a good seller. Oddly, many people can and do lay claim to that honor. It neither diminishes nor distinguishes it.
