15,000 people are murdered in USA every year with guns alone. Other violent weapons increase this number. A small number are murdered by vehicles. Most vehicle deaths are just accidents.

Many others die from opioid overdose and medical issues. Indeed, 2.8m people die yearly in USA.
Gatsby and Next.js are both site frameworks powered by React. They can both be used for static and dynamic sites with different conventions and features around routing, data management, and general app architecture.

Both are "hip" and will likely remain as the top 2 javascript based site frameworks for now, although whether you need either of them is an entirely different question.
The difference with Next.js and Gatsby seems to be that Next uses well known React idioms and Gatsby does it's own thing.

People will use it differently. If you use it to tune out noise, nobody will bother to check in yours. If you use it to quell rational dissent, then it will be the go to place for the juice.
This view about the inevitability of LIDAR seems to become increasingly anachronistic as time goes on. I have autopilot. Two nights ago it drove me from the entrance ramp to the exit ramp for my destination, approximately 30 miles, and I didn’t have to intervene once. The route involved three different highways, two overpasses, requisite lane changes, and even a brief stint through a traffic jam where it had to merge in heavy traffic. It was completely successful.

I fail to see how that is by any definition “behind”. I would be happy to replicate this and video it if you are skeptical.

I bet it'll work.

First, I think most of the time the hidden content is going to be very low-quality (and thus not gratifying to explore), rather than "juicy", and users will quickly learn that.

Second, it puts a huge damper on the gratification of stirring sh#t and getting a bunch of activity, notifications, and subs as a reward. Instead, when you stir the pot, you find yourself ushered to a closet by yourself. It's not locked, but you're definitely not the life of the party anymore.

The result is a social force– an adjustment to incentives— that keeps conversations on-topic and civil. Really, I think it's missing the point to frame it as a tool for silencing critics with dissenting opinions, instead of a tool for silencing people who want to call you an ${inflammatory_statement} in your thread about a cake you baked today.

As I understand it, as your follower count goes up on Twitter, the latter problem gets almost untenable to handle because the strategy of coat-tailing high visibility accounts by sh#t-stirring in their threads is currently so unambiguously effective.

Time will tell what effect this has, but I am hopeful that it will have a large positive impact. (I think the problem demands action no less decisive and significant than this).
I think that this is kind of a good thing. If you abuse the "hide tweets" feature to block people giving fair criticism, you'll probably get called out on it. But if you use it only to hide true garbage replies, then no one will care. The fact that other people can see what you've hidden adds a sort of accountability to the system, which to me seems like potentially a good thing.

It seems like a good compromise between entirely open discussion (where people can troll without consequence) and a Facebook-like system (where people can silence all dissent on their page). But who knows -- we'll have to see how it actually works in practice.

This depends on the company but my understanding is that in most tech companies, there's not much distinction between being an ML engineer and being a research scientist/engineer with a Ph.D, in terms of the type of work or compensation, provided that you aren't in a pure research role (i.e. you were hired because your research is highly regarded by academic peers in a narrow field and get to do something close to original research with fellow academics). Most Ph.Ds aren't qualified for the latter type of positions either and the number of non Ph.Ds that are qualified would be entirely negligible.

I agree. I probably wouldn’t complain about a 6 hour take home. I’d probably just ghost them. There’s no way I’m spending 6 hours just to get to an on-site when I can do it after at most, a recruiter call and a ~1 hour phone screen.

> You aren't more deserving of punishment for being stupid.

I was being tongue in cheek. Punishments should fit crimes and those accused should not be judged on the basis of intelligence, race, wealth, or any other factor but the facts of their case. That said, it's easy to prosecute cases with abundant evidence available. Such crimes tend not to be premeditated, and easy convictions serve as social reenforcement to deter similar crimes.

> The criminal justice system has serious flaws and I'd rather not be wrongly implicated just because I happened to shed DNA near where a crime happened.

Fair point.

DNA should be used to place persons at crime scenes and not be used in absence of additional evidence. Unless said DNA was found on the victim of a sex crime, under fingernails, etc.
You would be wrong about that. The police don't need a warrant to collect evidence left out in plain site. If you upload your DNA profile for people to match DNA profile's with, then the police are legally allowed to match DNA against it.

Requiring a warrant for this would be like requiring the police to get a warrant to look at the photos people upload to facebook.

I do, and it makes a significant difference in most of my workloads. A lot of my work requires testing bleeding edge software, for example, applying a small patch to the latest version of kubernetes then running a small virtualized cluster locally to make sure it works.

Even if not for that, I tend to cross compile a lot of software since all the engineers at my company use macs for software development but we deploy to linux servers, so often I end up building rust binaries for linux and it's fairly computationally intense.

For an anecdote, on my work laptop (i9/32Gb/512SSD 2018 15" MBP) I can compile the dev environment from scratch in 40 minutes whereas it takes 4 hours on the company standard dual core/8gb/256gb 2015 13" macbook
>The strongest candidates take their job search seriously and are willing to devote a fair amount of time to landing the right job.

Yeah, maybe if they're interviewing to work for Facebook, Google, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft or other big-ticket dream companies a lot of developers want to work for. But, Andrew was talking about hiring for an early-stage startup, before Google even acquired them.

As a startup, you're asking others to take a risk by working for you. Some engineers have families, debts and commitments to worry about. Working for an early-stage startup that might run out of money or collapse is a very real and likely risk.

It's hard to argue that Firebase was not a roaring success for Andrew and others. But, expecting a candidate to do a six-hour test for a startup that statistically might not have succeeded, and furthermore, listing out the benefits of a take-home test being less stressful and then proceeding to describe what sounds like micromanagement under the guise of helping (by calling candidates at the start and during of the technical test).

And we keep hearing there is a talented engineer shortage. Maybe the problem isn't a shortage, it's companies expecting engineers to be put through arduous and time-consuming interview processes like they're trying to get a job at NASA building human-payload rockets. For every company wanting to take hours and days of your time, there is another company that won't put you through a BS hiring process and make it faster.

I work for a smaller company, I had two interviews for a front-end engineering position. I came in, met with the engineering lead and another senior. They didn't make me do a technical test, they opened up my GitHub profile on a large monitor, handed me a keyboard and mouse and asked me to pick one of my repositories and run them through my code and decisions that I had made. I chose a Javascript library I had built, they asked me things about the architecture, if I had tests, my thoughts on Webpack and other bundlers. It was all related to the library and all answers I could easily provide because I built it. No BS, just a pressure-free interview.

The second and final interview was a coffee with the general manager and the engineering lead. They gave me more detail about why they're looking for someone, explained it was a new position and where they saw me fitting. I ended up having lunch with them and a couple of other team members who joined. It was all casual and pressure free.

This company offered me $50k more than I was currently earning. It was a MASSIVE pay bump for me, and I didn't have to sacrifice hours of my family time just to be told I didn't pass or get the job. It's also a completely remote position, no commute whatsoever. No wonder this company has been around thirty years and many of the original hires are still here.

The database that police use is GEDMatch, it's an opt-in database run by volunteers that people upload their DNA to for the sole purpose of being findable by their DNA.

I've had this exact insight and I think it is the case.

I'll take it even further. There are delays in propagation (duh). Because of this, the loops of neurons are resonant with certain frequencies of firing rates.

Perhaps my favorite neural loop is the one that exits our skull and then reenters through the acoustic medium. If you put your speech into a microphone, through a delay line, then back into your ears it completely kills your ability to talk.

Right, stars are (effectively) point sources light. But if you take images of stars like the LSST is where you can get the entire sky every few days you'll find anomalous stars that weren't on previous exposures.

I don't know the physics enough to know if a small (earth to neptune mass) blackhole could redirect enough star lights to detectable by an earth (or earth orbit) telescope.

With a huge database containing the time series of the sky you can start searching for unknown objects that stick out because they are a change from the previous exposures for that part of the sky.

With enough data mining of those previous exposures you could find likely candidates and get telescope time to check out where you expect it to be next.

This is similar to how things like Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov were found.

How? Do the police need a warrant to look at the pictures you upload to Facebook? What about if you put your DNA profile up on a giant billboard (GCAGC....), do they need a warrant to look at the billboard? It's illegal for them to come and take your DNA out of your body, but if you just upload it to some website for freely compare against and/or download, you are giving everyone permission to compare against it or download it.

I read this being open and very curious to criticisms of the Gates Foundation. But to be honest, I thought the criticism seemed a little weak. Then halfway through, it became clearer.

The author doesn't care about toilets in India or give a shit (pardon the pun) about Untouchables. Their real beef with Modi is his treatment of Indian Muslims.

This is a perfectly valid criticism and something open to discussion, but for some reason it really rubs me the wrong way that this person is pretending its about something else. At least have the courage to say what you really think instead of hiding behind weak-ass "he says he built 100mm toilets but it was only 50mm!" claims.

I don't think my comment did this.

I don't believe anyone has ever claimed otherwise. Or if they have, it's more along the lines of referring to immigrants as welfare recipients. Either way I'm not going to defend a strawman.

Everyone agrees that you can do 99.99% of the driving without a LIDAR. That's exactly what you did yesterday in easy conditions (Highway driving is the easiest environment by far). The issue if you want to go to FULL self driving is that you need to go to 99.99999% of reliability which a lot of experts agree you will not be able to do without Lidar.

Here is the issue: Video cameras will work properly most of the time but once in a while the exact distance will be wrongly calculated as can be seen with all the Teslas crashing in trucks lately. A LIDAR gives you a way higher confidence on the distance of objects.

Yeah, work on some pretty big codebases with an IDE. CLion, IntelliJ, and PyCharm are pretty resource intensive for instance.
There are several misconceptions here. First, foreign students rarely can apply for green cards, since student visas are not dual/immigrant intent. Instead the process usually starts after they get a job. And you can get fired from the job regardless of whether you have a BS or PhD. Also, most PhD students have a stipend and tuition waiver paid for by the university in exchange for teaching and research duties. Almost no PhD student pays the university a dime. MS is another story.

There is a demand for people with scientific and data skills and not enough natives hold these qualifications. However, I do agree that the education system is broken and the main reason why native born citizens don’t pursue higher studies is that they are usually under the burden of large educational loans.

There is also a smaller issue that liberal arts is a common choice for American students, which makes many of them unemployable. However, perhaps due to cultural pressure, many Indians and Chinese end up in science and engineering, which are in very high demand.
I used to feel guilty for how much I use Google, developer.mozilla.org and Stack Overflow, but after a series of languages and a herd of APIs, it's a blur to remember which order is correct for which library, and how they deal with inputs that are empty or undefined.

I spend enough time stepping through other people's code even when I do this stuff. It's really not that interesting and certainly not fun.
