Good micro has a lot of room for tactics and outplaying where there's a lot more to it than having a high apm, so it's not really a surprise that Deep Mind can outplay the AI, even with a lower APM.

Evenly matched armies looking for a micro-based edge turns basically into a fighting game like Street Fighter, where it's about reading your opponent, baiting them into a mistake, pre-empting them, taking decisive action, crisp reflexes/timing, doing something unexpected or unorthodox to get an advantage at a huge risk, etc.
Like lispm, I have several working MacIvory machines as well as several native Ivory machines and several working DEC Alphas running OpenGenera. I also have others including TI and Xerox but have not yet restored them.

You can, with a bit of effort, get OpenGenera running on a Linux VM and display on a modern X server. There are a few patches needed due to recent X server changes, or just run an Ubuntu from a dozen years ago on metal.

I personally use an adblocker not only to block ads, but also to block literally everything I don't like. In most websites, this means the social buttons, the comments section, all search functionality, anything in the header or navigation I won't click, related articles, top articles, other recommended articles, footers, links to privacy policies, parts of bylines that I don't care about, header images when I don't like them, posts in certain categories that I don't like, etc. I use filters to, for instance, block Slack links containing domains I know I'm not going to click. I have over 3,000 rules. I wrote the rules myself to be maximally specific and I am not confident that I could prune the list significantly, although I guess it's possible.

It would not surprise me if ad lists are substantially longer, because they have to incorporate the entire internet, not just the 0.001% of it that I visit.

I support the goals of efficiency and performance, and think developers should take those goals seriously, but I object when a browser places a hard cap on anything, because the number that cap should be at differs by use case and by user.
I don't know what language your parent commenter is speaking, but in Chinese, we also "open" and "close" the light.
The most uncomfortable thought is that I end up paying for this in the goods I buy, even if the advertising was not useful to me. The irony is that I don't think I've ever bought something that I saw in an ad on the internet. I have frequently seen ads for things after I bought them though (in the case of internet purchases). It's downright impressive how well the various parties share information, but as far as effective advertising... it is not, as far as I'm concerned. On the other hand, I don't buy things off the "shopping channel" on TV either and that's still pretty big business...

Another sad thought: the amount of money my employer spends in ads directed at me because I've repeatedly hit a certain part of our website while fixing bugs... I really should fix bugs in privacy mode :-)
I assume people with much more data than me have ran the numbers and concluded this is a good move, but with the rise in people using ad-blockers [0], this seems myopic from the outside.

The GDPR situation and this week's 'fine' for Google certainly suggests that the current model of surreptitiously harvesting outrageous amounts of data from unsuspecting service-users is untenable (as well it should be), so I'll be fascinated to observe the next stages of the data collection vs privacy skirmish.

awk can do all of that except sed. And I am not sure about the last. No need to wc ($NF in AWK, if I can recall), no need for grep, you have the /match/ statement, with regex too.
I really wish more interviews asked these questions. They're not only good questions for the reasons you mention, but for the interviewee (at least for me) they tend to be pretty low-stress to answer. Those sort of questions are, after all, something that I might be asked to do or think about during my everyday duties at a new company.

I always sigh in relief when a company I'm interviewing with asks me something like that vs something like "implement x algorithm to solve y niche computer science problem you probably learned in college at some point".

I wrote a Glassdoor review where I stated that the company had asked us to write positive reviews. I wrote this review a year or so after we were asked to put up the positive reviews. Someone who worked at the company wrote a counterfactual response to my review that it had never happened; we were never asked to leave positive reviews according to this person. It did happen though. I wonder if the person was a new-hire who wasn't aware or if they were being intentionally misleading.

There's no recourse to leave a response to the Company's response, so they got the last word in the matter. It's always kind of bothered me that they got to set the facts like that.
thanks for feedback. switching it off.
If you're using an ORM, it can be an easy way to ensure that no vendor specific stuff sneaks in. Also, until recently it was difficult to run, e.g., SQL Server in Docker, so Postgres might be easier to test with. Agreed SQLite is a weird choice, but not all integration tests are robust enough to test characteristics of the underlying db, i.e. focus on business logic not performance.

The sun sets in NJ at 5:03 pm tonight, and backtracking through the article, the disruption started around 5:30, probably reported just a few minutes before ATC redirected traffic.

Likely they saw the lights of the drone flying around. It's a clear sky tonight, so they would have been able to see the drone for several miles.
I gave several early gen i7 new life with SteamOS. More or less sets up nicely and could play a surprising number games in my library. One of the problems with giving away boxes to family/friends is the OS was worth more than the hardware and this really helps. The normal Linux desktop was a bit harder to get up and running (xterm, of all things, does not work by default) but with a browser and my normal dev tools all more or less work once you get the repos set up.

I keep wondering where Oracle and Nvidia come up with their developers. I don't want to work at either because of their complete disregard for FOSS, and most developers I know have the same opinion.
It's a pretty standard Firefox installation (I also tried disabling uBlock and resetting my privacy settings), and I just confirmed the user agent looks normal, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0. I think it broke when I moved last week from one EU country to another. Why that would make a difference, I don't know, but Adidas is now serving me WEBP images in Firefox 64 regardless of my browser settings, whether I clear cookies, use a private window, or choose different regional versions of the website.

So, I'm left scratching my head and using Chrome to browse the site.
Anyone see the difference is a couple percent
I like the anchors - but I use them to anchor me for pushing the hard buttons and twisting knobs instead. Of course, I personally avoided putting in (mostly) button free avionics like the mentioned Garmin GTN series in my plane. I fly them in other planes, and they are well featured, but I just personally prefer hard buttons.

Also, knobs in turbulence are fun. "Turn left 15 degrees" can become a random amount on your heading bug with an unfortunately timed thump!

Anyway, bottom line is that I find it easier to see the relative angles and trends of the pointers in old analog gauges in turbulence than read the tapes. The angles meant something easily interpreted as being unexpected at a glance even if the absolute value might take another moment to read.

Imagine if our AI were two tapes, like the EFIS horizontal and vertical deviation indicators!!

Direct gene editing was invented about 45 years ago. I am surprised, even shocked, that no one tried this until now. CRISPR has certainly made it easier to do, but other techniques have existed since the 70s.

From the linked Wikipedia article:

>The basic concept of MagSafe is copied from the magnetic power connectors that are part of many deep fryers and Japanese countertop cooking appliances since the early 2000s in order to avoid spilling their dangerously hot contents.[2][3][4] Apple was granted US Patent No. 7311526 on MagSafe ("Magnetic connector for electronic device", issued in 2007) as MagSafe was deemed to be a sufficient improvement due to the connector being symmetrical and reversible, and the fact that magnets within a connector are arranged in opposing polarities for improved coupling strength.

IMO, it's outrageous that improvement was enough for the patent not to have failed on prior art grounds.

I have one of those Japanese countertop cooking appliances. The magnetic connector is symmetrical. It's very obvious that Magsafe ripped off the design.

I went through this myself, and while there is no one-size-fits all solution, what worked for me was this:

- Get rough estimate of how much caffeine intake was typical

- Found a caffeine free-soda that I liked, (or decaf coffee)

- Using info from 1, replace caffeine with Excedrin (or some other caffeine pills), and switch routine to the caffeine free sodas

- Each day, shave a little bit of caffeine off. You'll probably need to buy a pill cutter

It's slow, but I never even got a headache from it. I initially tried just restricting my soda/coffee in take but found that I would drink much more than I intended too without even noticing. The Excedrin allowed me to carefully and easily control my intake.
As I mentioned in my comment below, how could this possibly work for job reviews?

Consumer reports writes reviews by ordering products off the shelf and testing them with their own staff.

How could that work for reviewing the lived experience of other companies' staff?

User-generated content is the opposite of Consumer Reports.
I always wondered why you can't do this topically. Perhaps a magnet in some kind of elastic band around your finger? Or even glue a magnet to your fingernail?

Surely it's not necessary to put one inside you.
That's bullshit. On million files, spawning subproceses could add a several lag per pipe. This way, awk runs straightly.
AWK is base knowledge on Unix. Shell scripts, specially the bloated bash, not. Readable? Priorities? I've done quicker jobs with awk and windows binary logs with strings(1) with the more than, literally, 100+ lines from newbies.

If people learn more about its tools instead of adding bloat unnedeedly because of ignorance OLD and ULTRADOCUMMENTED UNIX tools, - -cough, GNU folks and GNU/Linux distros- most of the crappified scripts and (fake) "usability" switches woudn't even exist.

Such as column, tr, "objdum -x $FILE | grep NEEDED" instead of ldd, tput for nice dialog like interfaces in shell, join, fmt, and so on.

Also, makefiles/m4. They cut down times exponentially.

Reddit is basically a flat ontology for images, if you think about how most people use it.
Your reply resounded with me a little. I agree with the person you replied to, I don't like the UI/UX.

I think it's the 'second level' of UI stuff - menu's behind buttons, settings pages, things like that. I think Chrome does a good job balancing 'advanced user' and 'basic user' stuff. Firefox feels a little too 'dumbed down' for me.

I'm honestly trying hard to put a fine point on it, but it a lot of it just feels 'off'. I'd love a very minimal-design, maximum function look into it.
I am not at all opposed to the idea of gene editing, but I wonder if the issue here isn't that he didn't have proper medical authorization to do this. Most countries have laws against cowboy medicine for a reason.
I don't remember the MOOC costing money, but it was in French with English subtitles which is understandable with them being French researchers at INRIA, but it couldn't keep my attention up due to the gap.

The books are all free in PDF form and the lead developer also has another website somewhere where he hosts old Smalltalk textbooks which are largely still relevant.

They certainly could work on conveying this better, but it is open source and likely not a high priority.
As a driver and biker myself, Munchery had a great culture. We worked really well together as a team to complete challenging routes in heavy traffic, and 3 months of the year are rainy, which complicates everything.

I think 30% is low. I’ve seen 100+ lobsters, 100+ steaks, 200+ salmon, and more in a single night. It was very frequent, no one who worked there paid much for food since you could live on the Munchery diet as we called it. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (and Sunday at one point too) were big giveaway days. At least 2000 meals per week were given away.

Best side job ever. But I said this years ago when I started, “how can they keep giving away this much food?”. I was told it was never a profitiable buisness and it was kept alive by investors. They did pad the tip pool, especially around the holidays. But typical pay was between $20-$25 an hour with tip, $15 without tip. It was less but it’s always been minuniun wage for SF.

The one thing the food did do was keep everyone very happy and loyal to the company. Most have been there for 5+ years, a few since near the beginning.

I never understood why they missed the mark so much in predicting the amount of food. The last few weeks, they have been making less food, letting items sell out.

My biggest complaint is I didn’t even get notification ahead of time. In the middle of the shift, they shutdown and told us we’re being laid off. Everyone is scrambling to find new jobs as no one is getting paid anymore and no one knew it was coming this quickly, we all thought at least another 6-8 months. Even a 2 week notice would have been nice. I found it very disrespectful to just close one day with no notice to your employees that this is coming.

They actually can, will, and are often legally obligated by regulators to shut down any accounts with suspicious activity for AML reasons.

If you’re going to play this game, be prepared to deal with the consequences.
Curious to know if anyone has used peloton?
I think there are different trends happening in different professions. I remember once when the sales team was hiring. They invited in a half dozen people one day and gave 3-4 offers. Whereas in engineering it'd take weeks to find anyone with the matching experience for the roles we had open. This was a startup selling something pretty new, so I doubt the sales peeps had similar experience with a different company. I'm assuming that sales experience was just considered highly transferable.

I'm not sure exactly where the bifurcation lies--it certainly isn't unique to software. Medicine and law are also getting highly specialized. On the other hand, are administrative jobs going the other way? Accounting, HR, compliance? I'm always a bit puzzled when companies recruit CEOs from unrelated industries. Does domain knowledge matter that little for some, even very senior, roles?
I'd say at least several hundred worldwide (because many of them can simply claim jurisdiction over whatever they want that enters the lives of their citizens). There are probably about a dozen that have the teeth to actually change Google's behaviour if they chose to.
I've read that He self-funded the project. Anyone know if he comes from wealth or how he got the funds to run a team of scientists? Also, it's interesting that he was a trained physicist who turned to gene modification experiments. Is CRISPR and gene editing the popular draw in academia and research? I've always assumed academics mainly stayed in their lane, so to speak.

As for the ethics, if gene editing research is inevitable and/or simple as claimed, then perhaps it should be carried out in public universities so as to prevent glory seeking people from causing unnecessary harm. Also, perhaps anyone who carries out gene editing should be held financially liable and even criminally liable for any damage to individuals.

If CRISPR and gene editing lives up to its hype, it feels like we are on the cusp of a brave new world.
Does anybody really believe that China is upholding strong ethical standards here? Sure the uni dumped this guy, but I'd assume there is a large project that the government is at minimum aware of to edit genes.
