Knowing the peak power dissipation at max turbo frequency wouldn't be quite as informative as you might think. The problem is power consumption varies widely depending on the workload. Presumably Intel would be expected to report power for the worst-case workload, but that would be significantly higher than what most people will ever see. This will only get worse once mainstream CPUs get 512 bit AVX units, further increasing the spread between integer only and AVX heavy workloads.

I think the basic problem is that power management on modern CPUs has gotten complex enough that you can't really summarize a CPU's power consumption in one or two numbers anymore. To really get a clear picture takes a full blown datasheet with tables showing power consumption under a range of conditions. Frankly, most enthusiasts aren't equipped evaluate such detailed information. Instead people rely on a few sparse data points provided by tech review sites and generally just throw a really big cooler on their CPU and hope for the best.
How about putting different plants in different rows, e.g. plant A in even rows, plant B in odd rows.
Correct. Every once in a while a story surfaces about Law Enforcement circulating official photos of someone attractive with inappropriate comments. We all know someone who worked in "loss prevention" that would virtually stock someone in the store; and the stories of TSA 'randomly' selecting attractive people for pat downs are legendary. Is this anecdotal, yes. Is this true, yes.
Isn't that like saying science is just too simple of an instrument? Or Money? Or personal ability? Or power to command people to do what you demand? It's not as if magic has no rules, nor limit. It's depends on what the write makes with it, like with every other ressource and plot-tool.
Consider applying to something like the Google AI Residency if you're interested in research roles; Facebook, Uber and Microsoft have equivalents, though I don't know the names off the top of my head.

Also consider just applying to roles right now, you can always apply again later.

Also, ML is really hot right now, and while you are well positioned (given your math background that a lot of CS people lack), there are several orders of magnitude more software engineerings roles than ML roles, so if ML is only a path to work in software, consider just applying directly to general software engineering roles as well.

If you do plan to do additional learning, do a project of some kind, and don't just read a bunch.

"Planning better" is a hugely valuable thing, if you can pull it off. You'll end up with less pressure, happier stakeholders, and less frustration with your own output. Even in a purely selfish better-for-the-team way: an accurate plan and capacity projection (relatively - if you have bosses who expect perfection here, that'll bit you) makes a great input into decisions about headcount, hiring, and project allocation. If you can't plan well enough to know you need to ask for help, you're screwed.

Agile as I've seen it in the wild is easy to twist into "plan more verbosely" instead of "plan better," though.

The most recent way I've seen this manifest is coming into a team that planned out each ticket in great detail when it came to execution - gotta maximize that committed/completed ratio - but invested very little in making sure they were planning the right thing. Someone would ask for something, it would become a ticket. But whether or not that was the right thing short-/medium-/long-term? That's a conversation that didn't have anywhere to happen.

Another is confusing "producing more estimation artifacts" (subtasks, hour allocation, etc) with "investing the right amount of time in planning." Going from a 30 second story point estimate to a 2 minute subtask breakdown in sprint planning isn't what it takes to make an accurate estimate for a project.

“Vegetable oil”, as such, is almost never an ingredient in premade food, as it is a marketing term for plant-based oil as a standalone consumer product (even “vegetable oil” itself lists the actual specific oil or oils used, usually pure soybean oil) as ingredients.

No. The external valuation of your house is wealth. A long-tenured homeowner in an expensive area is a millionaire and has the social obligations of any other kind of millionaire. More, even, since their wealth comes from squatting on assets rather than labor or productive investment.

We wouldn’t humor a stock market investor in denial about his wealth; we shouldn’t humor a real estate investor. The preferential treatment of housing as an asset class is a big part of why it’s so inflated in the first place!

If someone doesn’t want to be accountable for their house’s appreciation, they can give up the right to benefit from it at sale. Capital gains and deferred property taxes coming due at sale is probably the fairest proposal - doesn’t force anyone out, doesn’t let them free ride either.

If it's similar to a language I already know, I grab a quick-reference guide and start coding. If it's not similar to a language I already know, I read an essay (preferably by the creator of the language) about the design philosophy, then grab a quick reference guide and start coding.

C++ is kind of an unusual case -- it's part of that rare class of languages that are so bloated that they can't be 'learned' per-se, because nobody can keep the entire core language in their heads. Luckily, it's a mish-mash of languages most developers already know: it's C with java-like "object orientation", minus the constraints against multiple inheritance, with a grab-bag of strange implementations of familiar features provided by the STL. So, it's possible to limp along writing almost-C or almost-Java and then consult documentation when you run into a difference.

I would recommend against tutorials. The best tutorials take you on an illuminating tour of the philosophy of the language with a handful of illustrations in the form of real code; a normal tutorial covers the domains the author thinks are interesting while totally ignoring everything necessary to solve the kinds of problem the reader needs to solve (which the author is totally unaware of); a bad tutorial is wrong or misleading because it's written by somebody who also doesn't know the language. The more popular a language is, the more likely any given tutorial for it falls into the 'bad' category. Courses have the same basic problems as tutorials, but are substantially longer. Push comes to shove, if you need code in context & there's somehow no code already on your machine in that language (which may be true of APL or Julia but is very unlikely to be true for C++), look the language on X in Y Minutes or Rosetta Code.
I feel like I'm a bit out of the loop here, getting a local shell on an iOS device was one of the immediate benefits from Jailbreaking. It was even a native iOS binary, usually bash or Korn Sell, along with sshd. No need for such an elaborate Linux ABI transposing layer, as the iOS kernel supported enough Unix to run this stuff fine. But even if the iOS SDK/libc has since dropped certain functions or POSIX headers, the kernel undoubtedly still supports it.

If this software could be developed and installed, cross-compiling a native Unix toolchain, either from the open source code distributed by Apple, or the BSDs, or even GNU, should be just as easy to pull off.

So what gives?
Yeah I think unwrap is best used when experimenting/prototyping, but it can be very very useful there. Imagine trying to get started using Vulkan or Opengl without it. Big mess. But in production code you might want to lint it as a strong warning or error.

Do you have other people on the team review this? Or do you just trust that it's complete?

Sorry for all the questions, I just feel like these are things that are never answered adequately.
Technically correct. Practically misleading.
Yup. For me, actually forcing myself to build something and not just follow a simple tutorial step-by-step is where the real learning is. You can feel yourself getting better every time you Stack Overflow something.
How do you interface with it then? So many parts of most workflows still require using the touch interface.

It’s not a defense but traditionally this was balanced by laws requiring a mens rea component - or a guilty mind.

I'm on the spectrum, and I love taking the bus/tram/metro/train as long as it isn't crowded. I want to travel without getting distracting, nervous, nauseous, hot/humid, seeing people eat things I find disgusting or smelling certain things such as perfume. I want to sit alone, in white noise or silence, so I can read a book instead of having to hear to music to negate the noise and zone out. The common denominator in that one is the place being crowded, and it turns out these places are crowded on workdays from 6-9 and 16-19. Driving instead is even worse on these times. Amsterdam traffic is crowded everywhere around these times. If there are too little people around (such as at night) that also doesn't feel safe though. However if I don't have anything with me I'm good on that one.
I am not convinced that Bitcoin is all that, but the usefulness of gold is also rather limited. Silver and platinum are much more important for technical applications, as opposed to looking nice. If it was about usefulness, platinum would have long replaced gold for the purpose of storing value.

The reason I want to start in ML is because (as I understand it) Python is the language of ML and I am already well-versed in Python, and I also already have some background in optimization methods, whereas software engineering in general requires knowledge of a lot more languages/technologies and general CS concepts which will take some time to gain proficiency in.

What technologies do I need to learn to perform well in a ML role? What are some examples of a tech stack that I might be expected to work with?

Also, I have attended a number of hackathons in the past but mostly used them as learning opportunities and rarely finished projects or wrote any good code. Should I leave those on my resume or take them off?
There's an even older technology, battery backed RAM cached HDDs, that gives you everything an SSD can, except the thing you aren't actually using here, fast random-access read performance.

ken doesn't describe what a "goal-based day" means, but I don't see how it could match the distinction between man-hours and calendar time. The difference between today and tomorrow is one day of calendar time. If you have a team of 3 people working 5 hours a day on a given project, then in one work day of calendar time 15 man-hours of work will be done on the project. Man-hours just aggregate calendar time contributed by multiple people (and ignore calendar days when no work occurs). But none of that has anything to do with goals.

If this is not feasible it could be that you 'just' need to change the room/floor/corner of the building. Perhaps move closer to a window. Something facing West will give you natural light after 11am, or East for the early walk-ins.

I remember I was working in one of them new skyscrappers in London a few months ago. We were given a meeting room so the whole team can stick together for a massive project. The room's name was "engine room". EVERYONE was sick all the time. The room was cold, with minimal light, and we were pulling 12 hours shifts in there. The £ was great, but we all almost got pneumonia.

When that project was finished and we were "free" to wander on other floors (or work remotely), I found a desk right next to the windows and haven't coughed since.
Thanks for that. This is awesome too. Easy to use.
Yes we could get much better results with more primaries in our displays. It would take some fancier digital signal processing, and more importantly would only be especially useful for images designed with the wider gamut in mind (or potentially even multispectral images), but is possible using current technology, and probably not impossibly expensive.

Personally I would love to see displays made grids of hexagonal pixels, and maybe 7 primaries. Since almost every image that goes to displays today already needs to be rescaled at runtime, the processing shouldn’t need to be impossibly much more expensive than current square-grid resampling.

I would also love to see digital camera sensors with more primaries in a better pixel arrangement.
The only way that you matter to them is how much you bring to their bottom line. This isn't the Steve Jobs era where you have a sole visionary crafting something of value.

I saw a paper that examined pressure fed, turbo pumps, and electric. Electric beats both pressure fed and turbo pumps at the size Rocket Lab is targeting. At large sizes turbines beat electric but the plumbing is much more complex and technically challenging.

I'm suspicious that electrics are viable for first stages where performance advantage is less important. For first stages the cost is linear with ISP. Where it's exponential for second and third stages. (X^2 and X^3!!) For instance the Protons's first stage specific impulse is 285, Electron rockets specific impulse is 303. That's totally comparable.
This is amazing!

Engines and avionics, but the rocket bodies, fairings, etc., are made in NZ and final assembly is there. In this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj9BncsgvuQ the CEO talks about how that has been advantageous because apparently there's a large talent pool in carbon composite fabrication in NZ, and that while there are eventually plans to also launch from the US, when they do they'll still be making bodies in NZ and shipping them, and doing final assembly with US-made engines on the US side for those launches.

> Sprints have a very important operational dynamic, in that they set a fairly clear, achievable, short term goal.

Lately, the trend with those using Jira in large organizations is to just "carry-over" what's not done in the current sprint into the next. And so instead of talking about why something didn't get completed, and how to resolve it quickly (move it to someone else, change the way it's done, postpone it until something else makes it easier), the work snowballs, with even more work getting piled onto the sprint. That's because while the dev team is agile, management deadlines often won't budge.

The other problem is dependency upon another process/service internal to the organization that is not on your sprint cycle. Typically they have other, different priorities, which don't match yours. So they may get around to it eventually, which might mean a week to a month typically.

I think Kanban is in someways vastly superior in these cases. You can still do "waypoints" at say every two weeks to see how things are moving along, but at some point if your company isn't "agile" then it really makes no difference if your team is.
