Probably yes, but there may be some additional rules. First you need an even number of Carbons, but there may be additional rules.

I have a gut feeling that in this case it's better if the number of carbons is like 4n+2 (i.e. even, but not a multiple of 4, just like 18 :) ). This rule is important when you have a similar structure with double bonds and Hydrogen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromaticity I'm not sure if it translates to triple bonds.

(Some handwaving: Here the pi bonds in the plane act like the H in the aromatic compounds, and the pi bonds perpendicular to the plane form an aromatic system.) (Note that handwaving is never a replacement of knowledge, so this many be very bad.)

There is, if they want to hire strong candidates in this competitive market.

A candidate like that will have 10+ companies trying to recruit them. Out of these, 9 will require 1-2 hours of remote screens at most for an onsite. The 10th will require a 5-10 hour take-home project for the same onsite.

Which one will the strong candidate skip?
> Corollary to this is that everybody is Religious and everybody is Scientific, and plays the card when its needed.

Only if you define religious as 'spiritual'; as more than the physical atoms that make up a person.

If you are claiming that being religious is an integral part of being human I guess we are going to need a new word to describe those who believe in a divine power guiding the events of the universe.

I am certainly not religious.

> What a Religious person derives from their beliefs has nothing -- zero, nothing -- to do with the measurable/observable particle interactions of the material world. Even if they say it does, self-reports are not to be trusted here.

> What a Scientist derives from their observations has nothing -- zero, nothing -- to do with how they approach the world and others in the way of morality, pursuit of contented life, etc. Again self-reports are not to be trusted here.

I do believe you are wrong in both counts here. If you don't think religious doctrines can shape how a person percieves and acts in the world I guess you have not meet many devout people. And if you think the observations of science have nothing to do with how people approach their interactions in the world, well, I don't know what to say. Science in human reproduction has made unthinkable positions just a couple of decades ago, morally acceptable today, and that is just one example of hundreds I could list of the top of my head.

People are advertising for "Data Science & Python Instructors" in NYC starting at $15/hr.

Requirements are "in-depth knowledge in big data, data science, Python programming, object-oriented programming, machine learning, or natural language processing (NLP)."

Responsibilities are:
"Lead technical workshops and training sessions in different areas of data science and Python programming

Help clients and students understand the immense career options for Python programmers and data science knowledge

Motivate clients about the career change and career boost that upskilling with Python, data science, and blockchain can provide."

I think it stands to reason that if big data, etc. generally paid much more in the NYC area, nobody would take such a position, so this must be representative of the job market.

> “If we’re able to work out how to scale up the seaweed to such a level to that can feed all of the cows and the sheep and the goats around the world, then it’s going to have a huge impact on the climate;

And there you go. That's the hard part that you cannot just hand-wave away.

You also have to wonder what the impact of growing all this seaweed (or harvesting it) to feed the planet's bovine population will be. In the end, the problem is due to the massive scale of human consumption on this planet. The mitigation might be just as bad when you consider the scale at which you have to produce the 'better' solution.
> Habermas pointed to the early 18th century as a crucial moment of change. At that time, newspapers and periodicals exploded in both number and influence. ‘In The Tatler, The Spectator and The Guardian the public held a mirror up to itself,’ Habermas noted of the impact of a trio of periodicals by the journalists Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. The new publications allowed readers to shed their personal identities as rich or poor, male or female. Instead, in print they could enter into conversation as anonymous equals rationally engaging with the topics of the day.

Just to note that the present-day publications with the same names are not continuations of the periodicals referred to above.

"The Tatler was a British literary and society journal begun by Richard Steele in 1709 and published for two years." [1] "The Spectator was a daily publication founded by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele in England, lasting from 1711 to 1712."

Here's how you become a data scientist. Are you ready? It is a three-part process:

1) Get hired at a company you know has such roles. Make sure you get hired as a technical person with some analysis or data related role, e.g. software engineer that helps move the data around.

2) Express an interest in the data science work, perhaps do some on your own time, get to know the principals involved in the work there.

3) Apply for a lateral internal move after you demonstrate you know something about their data.

I think most of our ability to judge relative distance is based on our brains judgement of lighting, texture, inference, and sound. While having two eyes helps a lot, you can still navigate a complex office environment with one eye closed. It just takes a bit more care.
Extending Lisp can be hard work. Take an existing Common Lisp implementation and give, say, support for continuations.

Adding the necessary syntax will not be hard, however, whereas in a in a different kind of language framework, that part will have difficulties also.

What will also be easier in Lisp is for downstream users to manage the change. For instance, maybe some code relying on the new feature can work fine with some hack that just fakes some the semantics. That can be disguised under compatible syntax.
I think it's just you.

0. The actual job of a software developer is usually to develop software with some real-world use and benefit, not to write cs101 code on a whiteboard while someone watches you and grades you for speed and accuracy.

1. Software is what Google does, and Google does tons of software from tools to infrastructure to services to games. If you created a key software tool that tons of people use at Google to do their jobs, it's pretty relevant.

2. Software isn't like doing routine maintenance on an existing A/C system - it's usually somewhere between inventing A/C and creating a new design for data center A/C systems then building, deploying, and operating it.
I'm always amazed by the funds that companies manage to acquire from VCs without a (developed) product. Having recently read Bad Blood it's horrifying to see how often similar situations arise.
I think part of the problem with the question is that intelligence and motivations/drives are orthogonal. Intelligence is just a means to an end, it says nothing about the end to which it is a means. To say that a being is vastly more intelligent than human beings (super-intelligent) says nothing about what motivations it may have. Our own motivations are mostly given to us by our genetic and cultural inheritance, rather than something we've constructed for ourselves by our own intelligence.

I think it likely, that any super-intelligent AI created by human beings, will be given motivations which somehow reflect the motivations and values of its creators. Not necessarily exactly the same – a silicon-based life-form has no need for food or sex as carbon-based life-forms do – but, I think a super-intelligent AI created by humans will likely be given motivations to seek to favour the interests of its creators, whether "its creators" are construed broadly (all of humanity as a whole) or narrowly (just the individual or corporation or nation-state which creates it.)
I think it’s actually a really good idea. Strategically at least, it’s possible that it could be done, but I think it would first need the approval of everyone living there.
100% agree. I interviewed at Microsoft nearly a decade ago now. I was told I'd be interviewing for the company, and then if I was hired, based on preference and ability and need I'd be placed with a team

When I got there I was told I'd be interviewing for the SQL Server team, interesting work, but not something I'm interested in. I had never taken operating systems in university because it was always available at a time that another class I HAD to take occurred.

So by some random chance, I'd never heard of a semaphore. Perhaps inexcusable at this point in my career, but I was ignorant of the topic at that time.

My first interview question was to write a way to let many readers on a resource, and only 1 writer, with no readers reading at the time of the writer writing. I decided to use lists of something or another, ProcessId, or something similar.

Every time I would go to write the code, i'd get a few characters in, and the interviewer would interrupt me and ask me questions to help me along. Since I had no idea what a semaphore was, much less that I was supposed to use it, we spent like 30 minutes of this back and forth, me trying to write, him interrupting me. By the end of the session I had a single line initializing a list written.

Some of my other interviews during that battery of interviews went better than that one for sure but, needless to say, I didn't get the job.

I get that that's true, but it would be unprecedented and I think is a little unrealistic. Like, without getting too far into current events politics, I'm not bullish on impeachment, but I think if the executive blows off the federal courts, you find the 67 Senate votes you need.

Whereas, just blowing off a House subpoena is actually not that big a thing; like, they can still go to court and argue that they shouldn't have had to honor it in the first place. It's a whole different level of plausible deniability.

I have built this on Digital Ocean's dropletkit API client gem for Ruby, but without the "we send you a bill" part.

Two or three clicks to kubeconfig, then your cluster is deleted in about 4 days. I call it Hephynator and it's not open source yet, but I would definitely consider it. (This model works for me, because I received Open Source credits from DO. :thanks:)

I don't know how much that helps, but DigitalOcean's built-in interface to creating clusters is about that easy. It's nicer than my stripped-down version. Things like "how long until your cluster is ready" -- I didn't take care of that in my DropletKit client, but DOK8s does in their web interface.

My driver to build this little widget was the fact that their Kubeconfig files that are issued by DigitalOcean's interface by default expire after 7 days, so I either needed a way to be sure that my OSS contributors who I hand these clusters out to, could get another kubeconfig when it expired, but not wait for me... or, their cluster would not live as long as the expiration date, which seemed to be a more reasonable economy-driven decision.

I decided to make the clusters last 4 days and then delete themselves. It was a fun project, and now we can use it to make more fun Open Source.

I should open source it. It's a very simple rails app. It does exactly what you describe, I just push "Create cluster" and then confirm some parameters, then get a "Download Kubeconfig" button which is the last step where you have to interact with anyone other than K8s API. It needs to be made pretty, before I'd consider publishing it. But for now, it does the job and my team is using it fruitfully :)
>In the end, the problem is due to the massive scale of human consumption on this planet.

> humans can build near perfect 3D representations of the world

The idea that the human brain has a "near perfect" 3D representation of one's surroundings seems inaccurate to me. There's a difference between near perfection and good enough that people don't often get hurt, when all of their surroundings are deliberately constructed to limit exposure to danger.
Research takes time. There are researchers trying to grow the stuff on both US coasts. This articled details some of what is being done. They hope to test some of seaweed on cows at UC Davis soon.

Anxiety on the first interview maybe?

I would love to meet someone who was at ease, could explain code in detail (including talking about looping over arrays) and then NOT be able to produce that code.

The second one flat out cheated, but I bet they wouldn't have been able to explain the take home so you might have caught them.

Kinda weak speculation on my part but I guess I could be wrong. I've literally never met anyone like that.

What is the take home like? Maybe the code/answers have leaked somewhere?
For what it's worth, I do wish it was trivially easy to customize things like error log output, so that I could say that I _always_ want the timestamp first, followed by severity, followed by whatever else. Our logs are annoying to parse when debugging things locally.

With all due respect, I think it is you the one who's been tricked into the ethereal realm of 'the religious', which you've used often in this thread to get out of the real discussion.

The historical debate came about because of specific claims about the physical world. No one is, or was, discussing the derived value of 'the religious', that is not the point of contention most of the time.

The heliocentric debate refers specifically to a physical description of our shared universe. It is about an object, about many objects, objects that can be touched, smelled and seen.

Religion is not some ambiguous collection of moral view points, it is and has been something concrete for many people for many centuries, something for which they've died and sadly something for which they've killed.

The atoms must be in a minimum of energy. They always oscillate a little due to thermodynamic and quantum effects. If they are in a saddle point the molecule blends until the atoms reach a minimum, until the atoms rearrange themselves in a different molecule or until the molecule split. (Or until they react with another molecule ...)

I studied a little of Chemistry, but this is out of the scope that I know well. IIUC correctly from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubane the stability of cubane is not due to symmetry. The stability comes from the fact that locally it looks like a alkane, i.e. a molecule with Carbon and Hydrogen that only have single bonds. They are quite stable, the most common example is gasoline that is mostly alkanes.

Double bonds are more reactive. For example vegetable oils (that have also Oxygen, not only Carbon and Hydrogen) may have or not have double bonds. The one with many double bonds become rancid easier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancidification
Borkdude/babashka: A sprinkle of Clojure for the command line
When I was younger I remember hearing about how we can do all these things because we have 2 eyes. And that depth perception is what gives us the ability to not walk into walls, and do other things including driving.

I have thought about this many times and often wondered why when closing one eye I am still able to function.

Sense then I have thought strongly that having depth perception is used for training some other part of our brain, and then only used to increase accuracy of our perception of reality.

Further proof of this is TV. Even on varying sized screens humans tend to do well figuring out the actual size of things displayed.
Is this even relevant anymore? I mean, with permafrost thawing and triggering sudden soil collapse - forming lakes and bubbling up even more methane... to what degree do cow methane emissions even matter when looking at the big picture?

The model needs to be differentiable.

The function needs to be continuous.

Discontinuous functions are not differentiable.

You can approximate discontinuous functions with continuous ones (e.g. with logistic functions).

In the end, we are still talking about curve fitting and optimization, not artificial general intelligence.
This sounds very familiar. A lot of companies are full of people who have no curiosity and no ability to think for themselves.

I think stuff likes this is the real price of not hiring really good people.
