Feature differences and bandwidth can still be a significant issue though, and could become more so as raw single thread general CPU performance increases slow down while the surrounding ecosystem continues to improve. More PCIe lanes, more special purpose instructions, more features like ECC and IOMMU support becoming universal standards would all be nice outcomes to see.

This could represent a real additional long term opportunity to AMD as well, because historically Intel has been pretty fond of creating profitable product line segmentation via only allowing certain features on certain chips. And they've been mediocre about boosting interconnect capacity as well. Perhaps AMD doesn't necessarily need to match them as well in single thread performance if they can get the absolute difference down to a few percent, but be much friendlier then Intel in terms of not artificially restricting useful extra CPU features? I wonder if that becoming an area of competition again could bring some nice energy back to the market?

It's been something that's personally making me reconsider at least. I used to stick to Intel more despite price differences because of their performance advantages, but now I look at the rest of the ecosystem and start to calculate adding a few GPUs, NVMe storage, 10G networking, possibly other accelerator/utility cards and future interconnects, and the PCIe lanes seem to get sucked up a lot faster then they used to. With Ryzen/Epyc AMD is offering a full 64 lanes it looks like vs Intel's 24 here, and even with the latest Xeon I think it's now up to 48 lanes from 32? The difference there isn't nothing if overall system performance starts to depend less on just the CPU then on the overall ability to move data around and keep various more special purpose accelerators fed.
As GP said the network is inherently flakier and slower and yes, we are very close to the physical limit.

Just for clarity, there are some cases where the CEO is in fact left out of the loop specifically so they aren't in jeopardy of lying to shareholders. But typically it is the chief counsel who is informed in these scenarios. It is significant the Apple statements have been clear to rule out that possibility.
"Elixir should take over the world" by Jessica Kerr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X25xOhntr6s

Despite the title is about Elixir, Jessica exposes a lot of topics like how ideas arise at the same time from different people, what different programming paradigms offer and how can they work together, error handling in a myriad of paths, and mainly people.
My understanding is that in CORFU the write set is always known, so this kind of transaction cannot be expressed. You could layer it on top with the same strategy.
yeah I only said FANG because the examples were all FANG... but come to think of it it's just common sense legally.
I'm French-speaking and Asterix is all my childhood. 20+ years later I still regularly say some jokes from the albums unconsciously.

Glad that our English-speaking friends benefit from such a high quality translation! It's also always interesting to understand our cultural differences through clichés, wordplay and jokes.
Amazon doesn't give any due to HR policies.
Google gave me some general feedback, like what I was lacking in during on-site coding interview that got me knocked out.
I believe the big challenge for any job seeker is to get the interview in the first place. I'd love to see an app that could provide me with insights about my resume, and how it stands against the type of job I'm looking for.
I'll give you that you can deploy services separately, but the other advantages that you give could be accomplished with automated testing - that's kind of the point in unit testing to test components independently.

The vast majority of people aren't working at Amazon or Google's scale despite developers seeming to think that they need to work the same way.

Regarding A: I think it is important to note, that cancer is usually survivable, if caught early. This might make the "all in" phenomenon not inherent to the disease, because affordable, frequent checkups and education, might prevent many late stage cancer cases. Especially for colon and skin cancers.

Regarding C: Sure, everything is fine in healthy years, but 20% of the population is going to die from cancer alone. So it's not like only a tiny fraction is going to experience this dread.
This is a good point. I agree that having a 2 hour slot doesn't guarantee that I will get into a flow state, but it is a prerequisite for me to have a couple of hours at least to do this type of work.

I think the idea of being able to loosely schedule certain meetings (eg "Give me the least worst 30 minutes for the 3 people this week") could be an interesting thing to try. Having a system which knows whether it is advisable to 'bring forward' or 'push back' a meeting could be a big help. I also think that if a meeting is continually pushed back or brought forward, this might be interesting information in and of itself, especially for recurring meetings.

There could be downsides to this and I find it hard to even imagine what such a system would be like, given my current experience with Google Calendar, where even scheduling a meeting or room seems to be about 5 minute process.
according to this only x265 uses AVX512: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/accelerating-x265-...

But I wouldn't doubt that things like Video encoding / compression uses this. Again, I was not saying it's not valuable just saying that for my use case where I don't encode videos for a living or run a large Handbrake/Plex video farm / library the i9 cpu is not worth as much to me as the cheaper, cooler running Ryzen 2700.
What does llama means here?
I grew up in Canada, and so was exposed to Asterix. As were people that I've met from France (of course), Australia, India, Spain, Germany, etc, etc, etc.

And yet in the United States the comics are almost non-existent. My best guess is that American publishers don't think that Americans will understand such sophisticated humor.

Whatever they think, kids that I expose to the comics consistently love them. At a younger age for the physical humor (such as Obelix accidentally walking through doors). At an older age, for all of the layers (many of which I know escape me).

The originals were excellent. The translations are excellent. I highly recommend them. Though I'd recommend starting with the ones written while Goscinny was still alive. The look of the latter ones is still the same, but there is more reference to repeated in jokes and the overall humor is not to the same quality.
I'm definitely with you when we're talking about journalists acting as a check-and-balance against information or operations that are ultimately harming or betraying the public.

It's just that I've just seen no such evidence that there's any Snowden-style 'betrayals of the public' happening in this particular instance. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe I'm overly trusting, but I like to default to innocence until evidence of guilt is on the table.

> What doesn't make sense is that at first you deny a religious explanation, then without skipping a beat you ascribe (what can ironically be described as divine) mysteriousness and inscrutability to a body organ.

Are you saying that if we don't understand something, it follows that it must be of divine origin? That hardly makes sense. I don't see the contradiction in the op you seem to see here.
> I don't understand why you'd phrase it this way. Under the ACA, 80% of premiums have to go to medical care. A dollar saved providing care disproportionately benefits the premium payers, not the company.

The retained premiums rule and the lifetime limit ban were both adopted as part of the ACA; lifetime limits only existed before the ACA, and indeed benefited the insurance companies.

> Lifetime caps insure that you, the ratepayer, aren't on the hook for unlimited liability.

No, ratepayers are not on the hook for unlimited liability without lifetime caps. They are on the hook for insurers expected costs plus capped profit margin, given the insurer being subject to uncapped liability for covered, medically necessary services, but the ratepayer’s exposure is well-defined upfront.
> If this were proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, China would be shown to be guilty of a massive act of corporate espionage.

> Surely geopolitical pressure combined with the commercial pressure for that not to happen is enough for Bloomberg to retract its story regardless of truth?

Perhaps that could also be the source of Apple and Amazon's strong denials. What if they were told on no uncertain terms by the Chinese that if they corroborated Bloomberg's story, they would be shut out from the Chinese market? The PRC could even cripple Apple's international operations by interfering with their manufacturing.

I think Tim Cook would have a very hard time doing anything but deny, if confirmation meant writing off a billion-user market and justifying it to Apple's shareholders.
I haven't felt this at all. What companies are you applying to? How much experience do you have?
It still feels marginally better because it requires making a change that is visible to users, vs the normal case where a server can surreptitiously collect passwords. It also works nicely for the mobile app login case.

You put it in the very kindest light. It is often simply appalling.

> I recommend CW and FT8 as less conversational ways of getting on the air.

Yes. I do slow speed CW a couple of nights a week, just as a way to relax. I can't speak to FT8 but CW people tend to pride themselves on manners.

Learning the code is a question of downloading an app, or listening to a graded set of steps in the car or while walking the dog, for a month. If you can do 5-10 wpm (which just means you recognize the letters, digits, and a few punctuation marks) then you will not have much trouble finding people interested in talking to you. Me, for one.
Your right to have an opinion of someone, speak facts freely and associate with who you wish are all fundamental rights which would be compromised by a "right to be forgotten."
I think that operating margin might not be a good metric for measuring this. Although, I do think that there is too much focus on the 80% rule in general.

I mean, if all of the insurance companies are really close to that already (or even marginally above it), then it shouldn't matter either way, right?
From chapter 211 of my book:

None have proposed then taking the CO through a final step and ending up with simple C and O. This is not without good reason: out of all substances known to thermally decompose, none does it at a higher temperature than carbon monoxide. If you thought 2,000° was hard, try 3,870° C. That’s hot enough to melt any known metal. That’s hot enough to melt any rock! The few substances known to man that can be counted on to stay solid at that temperature can be counted on one hand.
A news website publishes many articles about hot topics.
Is 16 a lot or a littler? Is that more or less than pro-Sanders or anti/pro-Clinton articles? DemocracyNow had nothing to say about that.

Even though a complaint whose only evidence is one hand-assembled image shouldn't be taken seriously as an evidence-backed analysis, here goes:

WaPo's response to that cherry-picking accusation (which included some strange cherries, like "Sanders stands up to Clinton's interruptions" being called a negative story):

and the complaints ignored pro-Sanders and anti-Clintion articles from those same days.

Bloomberg?

Sounds more like Bloomberg was the messenger and is being silenced.
So killing people who need expensive treatments is better than bankrupting them?
While I agree that charging more is generally a good strategy, not having a free tier discourages product experimentation.

A real life example: I am in search for an api doc solution for my SaaS. A certain "docs" SaaS costs about $1200/year for their basic service, which includes an ad for their service at the bottom of your doc pages. To not have their branding ("white label") costs $4800/yr. That SaaS is certainly taking the "charge more" advice to heart and because of it I will never try their service, and instead am trying open source solutions like docusaurus.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if you also tried to tune the ensemble towards a specific task in the same way that you could tune a single model.

We've definitely seen that tuning the embedding hyperparameters (along with the others) can have a significant impact on performance. [1]

Additionally, whenever you open up the space of tunable parameters to include the embeddings or feature representations themselves you can usually significantly outperform just a well tuned classifier. [2]

This model seems like it trades off complexity in tuning for complexity of an ensemble, but I wonder what would happen if you tried to have your cake and eat it too and just tuned everything.

It’s the Canadian equivalent of a felony. The US will bar you for any crimes which are a felony there as well.

The surprise is that a first time offense is usually a misdemeanor in the US. In Canada the “misdemeanor” limit is .05%.
If you remove stuff that uses UnsafeCell, and remove syscalls, you have a purely functional programming language. You don't really have mutability unless you're using something like RefCell or Mutex. You can program your way around any use of mutable references, or recast their use in a form that avoids them.
Great idea! I guess you are open to input if you post here:

1) afterInterview is a bit of an ugly name. Maybe shorten it to afterview?

2) How do you intend to monetize? I can only think of what u/WestCoastJustin said: data. But then you'd need to be more open about that in these days I think, people are more suspicions, especially the one who are first-movers.

2a) if not data, make users pay for your services. Maybe on a monthly basis - but you would need to implement that right away, bc later it'll be hard.

0) Good luck!
> ... You want paid pilots. When it comes to enterprise, you want to uncover real buying intent as fast as possible. ... In the enterprise world, if you’re not putting a price tag on your product, it’s not going to be valued.

I disagree with the idea that you should never offer free pilots to enterprise customers. Some pilots do not demonstrate buying intent: they are qualifiers.

Often times pilots are necessary to get enough information to justify the purchasing decision. Salespeople always claim a product will solve 100% of my needs. The reality is that it is actually somewhere between 20% and 80%. Where it is on the spectrum will determine whether I should be a customer. I need the pilot to know where that level is.

Just because you are not asking for money does not mean the pilot is "free". I have to justify the time I'm spending on this pilot, I have to set aside other priorities potentially disappointing stakeholders. I have to request resources and people. I carry the reputation risk since I am the one driving it internally.

If you are asking me to pay an even higher price than that, by forcing my reputation risk to also include a budgetary impact, or force me to slog through procurement, I am going to skip your company, even in favor of a higher ticket-price competitor. There should be greatly asymmetrical costs incurred by you compared to me to justify that.
I believe the system was trained on successful candidates. And Successful means: They were retained and likely promoted after hire over the next 3 years.

If they only trained on who was hired they wouldn't really know if those were good hires.
I agree -- it burns us in the SQL world too. I was just seeing it from a developer cognitive load point of view and maybe as a premature optimization, again, though if you guys and gals put this in place because of war stories from twitter then it's not premature by any means.

In the rare case when no index or the wrong index is used in a SQL query an index hint is all it takes to fix or updating statistics of a table to help the optimizer. Not having to remember the exact index for a query imo is better, but I could learn to adapt.

Is duplicating models that big of a problem? Just an honest question, hoping to get more answers/opinions besides parent's.
There was an Android version, which was incredibly good... and IIRC there was a MacOS version at one point.
Mongo has issues with its query optimizer. I’ve seen this happen before, killing performance. The fix was to give the query a hint on the correct index to use.

The app looks nice but I hate doing any kind of data entry on an app.

You might consider making a web based version, then it could be accessed on desktop as well.
Exactly. There's a reason the average Berkeley-Unix/MIT-Lisp programmer is depicted as having a long beard: the creators of much of the foundations of our modern software ecosystem were a bunch of hippies, who hated the idea of their code being used to make money, let alone to power weapons. They saw code as a more direct manifestation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_power: something you can create and promulgate that, in so doing, resists top-down authoritarian control and promotes bottom-up communication and organization.

This fact is subtext to a lot of the flamewars that occurred between these "greybeard hackers" and mainframe programmers on the one hand, and Windows PC programmers on the other hand. In both cases, the greybeards saw their counterparts working at IBM or Microsoft, or working at other companies developing software for z/OS or Windows, as people who were willing to "sell out" and work for "the man." (Not "the man" as in Microsoft/IBM; "the man" as in the government's various three-letter agencies.)

This was also the original subtext of Microsoft and Apple's fight over personal-computer market mindshare. Bill Gates and Paul Allen came from money, met at a private prep school, and shared a vision of selling their software to companies like IBM, who would drop thousands of copies top-down into enterprise partners' offices. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were introduced because of a shared interest in illegal pursuits like phone phreaking and LSD use, and wanted—sort of like the One Laptop Per Child project—to empower individuals by putting computers in their hands. (Consider: they were probably envisioning use-cases exactly like "being able to share copies of the Anarchist's Cookbook over the Internet.")

Apple and Microsoft today are more alike than different, but they started off with diametrically-opposed cultures and corporate visions; and which ecosystem you bought into (at least back when) could tell people a lot about who you were as a person. There was a reason Apple found its first beach-head in schools: the schoolteachers of the 1970s shared pretty much the same countercultural ideals.

Read through the Jargon File, or the fortune(1) database, and you'll quickly get a sense of what "hackers" as a culture were like. A modern Stanford-MBA-alum YC applicant, who fancies themselves a "hacker", might be a bit shocked :)

I’d love to see your updates. My friend was commenting a while ago about how Milkdrop’s old DX version limited length of shaders he could write.
This is why I'm still a proponent of busing, but doing it based on general socioeconomic diversity rather than just race. I know there are a lot of inefficiencies with bussing and in some communities (Boston) the backlash was awful, but the long-term effects in many communities did show it actually worked in many ways (Charlotte NC - see this article showing how much worse it got after bussing stopped: http://prospect.org/article/battle-royal-over-segregation-qu...)

The problem with having "good" and "bad" school districts within a metro area is that you aren't just creating inequal and un-diverse educational facilities, you're contributing to the stratification of the neighborhoods themselves. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that people who can't afford to live in a nice school district will end up moving to a poorer one with fewer high-quality education options.
Thank you all for the comments and upvotes! I really appreciated it! Didn't really expect this to happen at all lol.

I will come back tonight to answer all your questions but my lunch break is over and I need to go back to work rn :)
The poor just die from cancer. The lower classes "borrow" money from friends and family, because cancer makes a better charity case than "my alternator broke". The middle class, and lower upper class has savings and home equity, and spends all of that to fight cancer. The upper class can spend whatever it takes.

Though now that I think about it, maybe the alternator fix is the more effective altruism, because it's something that can keep someone from falling a rung on the economic ladder, and being unable to afford health care. There's never enough, is there.
In this particular case, for some it’s a PITA and for some a pleasure in life or at least something they seek out.

That unbalance is the interesting part I think, just like so many things in life where changing perspective is needed to deal with people.

About books and articles...It’s another topic, but I don’t know, I find a lot of these have a “how to fix your personality” angle that is just innapropriate and/or unproductive. Becoming an extravert or small talk guru shouldn’t be the goal.
And, as you say, developping strategies to have less people noise and more mindful communication is usually so personal, while not being that hard, that it’s not a very good subject for a self help book.

Right, it's only over-representation if you believe that all men are created equal.
You could use the fact that a candidate has been verified to have interviews at a FAANG to let other tech companies poach them. Maybe a footer saying "Have you considered ACME Corp? (sponsored)" with a bidding system based on where they're interviewing or have interviewed.
