That's an interesting take on the quality issues of these recent films. It's true that you sort of have to dumb down your content if you aim to make it popular for a wider population. If the movie plots require a bit of thinking or the use of brain resources then most viewers probably will not get it.

Though I understand Hollywood has always been about about making profits, but in the end this will only lead to more movies simply being treated as a tool to generate revenue rather an outlet for creativity and great story telling, which was exactly what made them great in the past. In that perspective, there's no difference between a movie and a piece of commercial software.

Big explosions and FX effects are not elements that make a film great as they do nothing to connect deeply with the audiences on a human level. They are shallow, cool and awesome for five seconds but that's about it. The more you watch these films, the more you become like the population they want to target.

No wonder books are still selling so well today.
Business travel broadly is a huge boon to trade and economic growth. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.212....

I agree that developer conferences may be wasteful, but don't paint non-conference travel with that brush.
While the host part is case-insensitive, the path is case-sensitive on almost every website. In principle a website could choose to do a case-insensitive match, but I can't think of one that does.
I drank five to six cups a day, and felt like I desperately needed it, and scoffed at anyone who suggested I try getting by with less.

At some point I stumbled on an article about the adenosine receptors in your brain will actually compensate for this much caffeine by just growing more of them. I also read that you can actually "kill" these extra receptors by going cold turkey for a week.

So I did it, and it sucked (the second and third days were the worst). But that was a year ago and I now get an equal if not better effect from two cups a coffee each day.
I volunteer for Black Girls Code, specifically the 9-11 year old age group, and the last thing I did that really blew their minds was build an Obby in Roblox. Almost all of them have watched youtubers go through them. Get one working, modify it, have a kid or two modify it on their own.

IANL, but what you heard about German monitoring probably only applies to large companies that have a unionized workforce like Daimler,VW, etc.

In most software shops there are no unions and your performance is easily monitored (Scrum anyone?) and, contrary to popular belief around here, you can easily be fired without a problem should you or your performance, objectively or subjectively not meet the management's expectation anymore.
I can't wait to go to Taiwan, the country seems to be amazing and this confirms it.

I feel bad for them, for the pressure that China is pushing though. I hope it gets resolved one day.

You might be disappointed with Chinese companies who still make their devs clock in and out the old fashioned way.

Sounds like your job just sucks, you could find a better one in the states, China is always an option also but try foreign companies there first for a better work life balance.
Well, how much does US tax european cars?

Agree about the 49% thing, and it's not limited to car factories.
It changes everything in may opinion, but this is highly subjective as it is a human-to-human moral judgment.

My view on the topic is that there is a predefined innate concept of a good life for all complex life, including cows, and with my current knowledge I see no reason why a cow in a farm would be unable to live a good life. Obviously in too many cases industrial optimization is clearly opposed to this, still I see no reason not to call [0] (assuming the context given as true) a mutually beneficial relationship

Now that these super high salaries are the norm
and you can't hire anyone with experience without
such salaries, companies end up expecting the world
from them. Other professions that have similar salary
ranges (certain part of finance, law, health, etc) also do.

I honestly wish we could perform the labor version of a stock split and double the number of software engineering jobs and the number of qualified foks while halving the salaries.

I would gladly do my current job for half of what I'm making now if I could work reduced hours.

But no, it's the software industry. The options are generally "unemployment" or "make a bunch of money and work unhealthy hours until you want to die, and then get promoted and work even more" with nothing inbetween. There are exceptions to those norms, but the norms are the norm.

PsiKick | Data Scientist | Ann Arbor, MI | Full-time, ONSITE

PsiKick in an industrial internet-of-things (IIOT) company that creates energy-harvesting batteryless sensors to monitor industrial equipment like steam traps and motors. Our founders have invented the lowest-power wake-up radios on the market, and we complement that IP with a full-stack solution spanning hardware, software, and analytics. We've got amazing investors and a long runway, so now we're taking time to build a platform that will scale to millions of sensors.

I'm looking for a Data Scientist to join me in our Ann Arbor office as the second member of the Data team. We're working to detect and predict state changes in the equipment we monitor. I'm focusing on the data infrastructure and pipeline currently and need help with the algorithmic state detection and building tools to help analysts annotate our data as efficiently as possible. I'm particularly interested in applicants with a background in signal processing or applied mathematics.

I work primarily in Python (numpy/pandas/etc), with some R (tidyverse, Shiny), and deploy to AWS with Docker (ECS, EKS).

This role should be posted in the next week or so. In the meantime, checkout our careers page at https://www.psikick.com/careers/ and email me at clayton dot yochum at psikick dot com.

At this point I have to assume there is absolutely no-one behind the wheel at YouTube. They just set up an algorithm, check that it's increasing view counts, and did literally nothing else. Forgivable when you're an early stage startup with a small audience perhaps, but absolutely unforgivable at this scale. Time for Google shareholders to demand some level of accountability here (but while the profit is good, I guess they'll be quiet)
That's utter nonsense. Most reasonable companies will offer you a refund if you simply ask, especially if you haven't used the service or incurred any costs for the company because of your failure to cancel. When you sign up for a monthly service it is not the company's responsibility to make sure you want to continue each month. Some still do, but it is not required.
Which sounds uncontroversial, but there are devils in detailing what constitutes aggression.

Pico 8 would have really impressed me at 5th grade.. I think you can get an education license as well
No you are not. Issues that are bigger for one human/group to tackle effectively are the reason we have invented political processes and systems in the first place (laws, governance, taxes, regulations). We should use the tools we have, and not offload the task of confronting climate change to the individual. The individual is not suited for this task, as there are too many of them, that will do absolutely nothing unless forced to.

That doesn't mean that a single human can't change anything. Every single action, that reduces CO2 emissions (or sequesters already emitted CO2) is a step forward. But it will be too little, too late and the only effective course of action would be legislative in nature.

Taiwan, is trying really hard to attract foreign talents. If you're interested, check their Golden Card Permit. It's a visa+redisent card allowing you to stay and work for anyone there up to 3years. The only requirement is to justify of a salary of 160k NTD/month(~USD 5210/month), anywhere in the world, if you don't earn that, try the skills application[1].

I'll not talk about all the positive things about Taiwan, just read the other comments.

HK and Taiwan don’t pay their devs very well (they value other things, not software). If you are American, Singapore might be difficult also unless you have a good tax accountant. China on balance provides the best deal in Asia for programmers.
I am a software dev in Bytedance (company that created Tiktok) in Shenzhen. In general I like it here. The company is listening to feedback, coworkers are very friendly, and the work is challenging with good pay, I am definitely learning a lot here. Having said that, the workload is quite heavy - we have to work every other Sunday (Saturdays always off). If you are interested in a referral drop me an email at georgy [at] bytedance(dot)com. We have devs in the US as well.

I wish I had fully understood their business model, not what their business could be, but how it really makes money. Who drives that money being made, and what would be my working relationship with them? It's not always transparent how this works, all useful politics within a company revolve around the working group that is bringing in the money. Your experience and future at a company from a monetary and career perspective is directly linked to this, everything else is secondary.
Is that stated anywhere by Stripe or is it theoretical?

How to Invent the Future
Yeah my interviews as a software engineer have been utterly laughable compared to pretty much any other job that pays comparably. Usually a quick screener interview and then 1-2 additional rounds.
Additionally they want (need) to leech off whatever larger nation they are floating nearest to. So they get to take advantage of all the benefits and conveniences provided by a mature country without contributing to the costs required to maintain it.

Its like all the people who claim they want to live out in the wilderness tax free and be left alone but in reality they live just on the edge of society so they can continue to come and go as they please.
5. The government created these conditions and propagates these conditions

Native leaders and the population demand a different kind self government hands off approach. The government propagates these condition by listening. The self governing model is failing here but no one will speak up.
I don't get the feeling from their site that their mission is to eliminate government or create a truly "free" society as much as it is to experiment with ideas around governance.
I don't have any links to hand but I'm fairly darn certain that arrhythmias start showing up way before anyone gets to 25 cups per day, not to mention fluid balance/kidney issues, which can lead to congestive heart failure.

TLDR; arterial stiffness is only one measure of "heart health".
I can't cite a reference, but many pieces of fiction from the day and historical accounts seem to involve people with ready access to firearms. Google produced this which seems to support what I said above (aka British people seemed to have common access to firearms until ~ WW2 times):

On the contrary, I think this is one of the biggest emerging blockades to progress in ML/AI research, especially in academia. It has always been more cost-effective to run ML algorithms on consumer HW such as GeForce GPUs and gaming CPUs. It's frequently even faster than contemporary cloud offerings when the consumer HW gets ahead of existing enterprise HW. And it's so effective that HW companies starting changing their EULAs and crippling previously available aspects of APIs to herd AI back into the datacenter where they seem to think it belongs.

And that IMO is a reinvention of the "Walled Garden" of academic HPC (ask any grad student begging and pleading for supercomputer time) which has always sucked and its new commercial incarnation is even worse because it's unclear how to get commercial cloud time on government grants.

OTOH it's fine for large shops like OpenAI, DeepMind, AWS AI, FAIR, MS Research etc because they have deep deep pockets. So if you're content with most future groundbreaking research coming from a small tribe of market leaders, well great, but I suspect innovation is already slowing down because of this.

Random Forest doesn't increase overfit error when adding more trees. I did the experiment on toy dataset to check it https://mljar.com/blog/random-forest-overfitting/

What is more, Leo Breimain wrote on his website: "Random forests does not overfit. You can run as many trees as you want" https://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~breiman/RandomForests/cc_home...
In this instance, you can factor in the sense of urgency, which the Germans lacked because they thought the problems would take many many years to solve, while the Allies increasingly knew how practical it was.

Heisenberg, the distinguished senior scientist who was basically running the whole affair to the extent that was true, was a great theoretician, "the first quantum mechanical mind" per Jeremy Bernstein, author of Hitler's Uranium Club: The Secret Recordings at Farm Hall of 10 German scientists captured by Project Alsos, but was awful with numbers, let alone experiments (Fermi was the only top mind of the period great at both). It's in fact a very good thing his reactor didn't go critical, because for some reason he though the reaction would be self-regulating....

Whereas on the other side the concept of an atom bomb of modest size through fast neutron fissioning was realized very early by Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls, authors of the critical document on the topic published in March 1940 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisch%E2%80%93Peierls_memoran...). While they underestimated the amount of pure U235 needed, they were in the right ballpark, something that took the Germans at Farm Hall several rounds after Hiroshima to start approaching.

Another critical scientific error was not trying hard enough with graphite, which required purification way beyond the industrial state of the art to get rid of enough neutron poisons. Resulting on a total dependence on heavy water, which the Allies were able to thoroughly sabotage.

Organizationally, I think it was Rhodes who observed that it was not probable that wartime Germany would develop a bomb, or peacetime America. And if you're interested in that, read up on Lieutenant General Leslie Groves, without the extraordinarily good leadership he provided the Manhattan Project wouldn't have finished by the time we'd conquered Japan with liberal use of chemical weapons.

For a very brief time, late in the Cold War, the US State Department had a very shoestring team called the "Active Measures Working Group" who worked to investigate and counteracting disinformation. They had some success, such as uncovering the Soviet origins of the lie that the US created AIDS in a military lab, but the effort was wound down after the Soviet Union fell:
