A reference FFT implementation in CUDA: about 150 lines of code. A reference FFT implementation in ROCm: about 1200 lines of much uglier code using advanced C++ idioms.

So no, it is not a replacement, again. Elegance matters.
"we focus on the overall end-user experience, not just hardware or software." sounds like strategy to me (perhaps it needs to become a little bit more elaborate than that, but strategy at least).

Imo, Strategy at a high level is high level guidance. What is important to focus on and what should we not focus on (and preferably why). Some companies do however have these sneaky strategies like emergent strategy that is not set from the top but let it emerge along the way, possibly from the bottom up, based on the culture or whatever. Some companies simplify it to the extreme with the "simple rules" strategy (1-3 simple rules which steers the company, such as "turnover first, profit later").

Strategy can be very important, but usually takes a lot of time to affect the bottom line. You don't need a strategy (well, that in itself is kind of a strategy). Anyhow, the rest (the implementation/execution) is always more important - just add with startups (the idea is 1%, execution 99%).

> Might be the reason why Intel is putting FPGAs in the latest Xeons: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12773/intel-shows-xeon-scalab....

This is an excellent example. As things are trending, I would expect FPGA and other hardware programming to become more common. I would not be surprised if in a few years websites and browsers start doing their own FPGA optimizations. Adding FPGA programmibility does not increase real raw performance, it just allows developers to do optimizations they would not otherwise be able to do.

Along this line of thinking, you would expect developers to start moving away from slower scripting languages towards faster compiled languages. This has not happened yet at any large scale, largely because the huge demand of digital services has placed a premium on developer productivity over application speed. However, this trend is happening on the edges (e.g., using C-based Numpy within Python, the steady rise of Go). If computer performance remains as flat as it has been, I predict we'll start seeing more popular libraries rewritten in faster compiled languages (and eventually FPGAs/ASICs) within the next 5 years.

To me, this reads as "if you want the job then you [should/are entitled to] misrepresent yourself to bypass the filtering mechanism". If that's the case, then your whole reply reads as a complaint about how hard it is to cheat when anti-cheating tactics are in place.

Hello Hacker News, I wondered why my traffic went all bonkers today. To answer some of your questions:

Yes, it is difficult to keep up with modern game tech, but I have lots of friends in the AAA industry who let me know what's going on at the bleeding edge, and I pick my battles.

No, you couldn't make a game like Miranda with any off-the-shelf game tech I have seen. Game engines usually only allow one avatar per player, Miranda can have hundreds, theoretically thousands. Miranda is also seamless and single-sharded.

The renderer does have soft shadows, but you're right they don't always show up really well. I'll take a look at that.

The next update is coming pretty soon with a whole lot of gameplay additions, I just started the playtesting and debugging phase today.

Thanks for visiting.
There is an on-going pattern of comments where RMS says that sex with children is acceptable under the right circumstances. To me, that position is indefensible and offensive. You seem to be very focused on some specific text in one specific instance. Maybe you are missing the forest for the trees.

You're not wrong, but it's also not unusual. Most people I know do not talk to their mom more than once every 3 days.
Even though I completely disagree with you I have to congratulate you for your coherence.

Instead of blaming the company or tell bad things about them you just decided to leave and find something else that worked for you.

The company has the freedom to work on whatever theme they want and you have the freedom to not work for them. This is great!

It's simple but I'd like ssh to phone home. I don't see a reason to trust an app. Otherwise Apple put in most everything else I used (like SBSettings etc).
It would be great but it would only work if men as a group someone come to some better understanding. Men collectively are our own worst enemies because there is always another man willing to put aside those healthy attitudes and behaviours. Until healthy male emotional expression becomes attractive it will be rejected by men and women. Currently unless you have other very attractive features being emotionally vulnerable is mostly against your self interest.
That's the thing. If a top executive even makes the tiniest productivity impact across his organization compared to the next best candidate, he has enriched shareholders significantly compared to his comp. This is what makes competition for top executives intense, and fuels the crazy pay.
So combining your comments with the other comments on the thread.

Radiology has to have a 48 turn-around but it's OK if many patient don't actually see a doctor without multi day waiting times and some portion can't see doctors in any reasonable timeframe. But radiology, we got that covered! It is an important part of health care but it is clear US priorities as reflected in "standards of care" are completely off-kilter (if you're not seeing a doctor at all, radiology turn-around can't help you or is there something I'm missing).

The way standards of care drives up costs seems like a scam but I know not all of it's a scam. In ways it's worse, in the sense it's harder to get a handle-on and stop, being a spectrum that shades from mostly scam to actually good but sometimes too-expensive approaches and so-forth.
I don't think it's going to become viral but I'd wager to say it could be useful for some. I want to track my emotions, too, to see if there's any patterns.

How much charge can you get in the time spent at a fast food outlet?

This is the beginning of gas stations and oil companies feeling the fear. This week saw the first US gas station stop selling gasoline and switch to charging only.[1]

Walmart is putting in charging stations. That makes a lot of sense. The amount of time spent at a Walmart is enough for a good charge.[2]

I think it is to force you to pay the full CDW fee, or face the $6000 charge. In North America it is common for people to have the hire car coverage option on their main car. So it becomes a fight between e.g. Hertz and a big insurance firm.

I can't pick up a car in Europe in less than an hour, have to check/photograph everything. I have an actual checklist.
I think you can still have quite a bit of understanding on the overall status of a 30 person company. The CEO has 4-5 direct reports, of which the biggest departments have 10 reports. The CEO can have a pretty good handle on what's going on overall, and people can know their departments damn well.

This stuff definitely starts coming into play at around ~100; then as a department head who's been there since the get-go, you might have 30 reports; on some topics you're an expert who should be directly involved, sometimes not...

It's an art thing. Hard to compress into a short comment. As the Trump capture on sadness fades there will be a natural reversal into an excess of the expression of sadness. We are seeing the start of it in films where there are women crying. Not that Trump controls that stuff, but rather he is tapping into a deeper principle.

The cult like approach to certainty we see on the web will fade over time as well. Expressions of uncertainty will become more acceptable.
I believe the difference is in both of your examples, the “victim” wouldn’t be committing a crime. Imagine if employees were jailed for accepting sub minimum wage, rather than just the employer.
Interesting. It sounds strange to me that mostly sex workers get arrested. Do you have a source on this?

Sounds to me like you’ve got the wrong religion prevalent in your country, which I agree is a bad bad thing. There have been many atrocities committed by people claiming to adhere to some divine mandate (hello crusades!) and that is problematic.

But religion as a whole doesn’t have to be bad. Many religions preach tolerance for others—one of their primary missions is to eliminate the very hate and inequality you have spoken of. Just look at what some religions do to help people because they believe it’s something their God would like them to do: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/humanitaria...

Again, I’m really sorry to hear that religion has been used to oppress rather than to bond in your country. But the right kind of religion (as this corrected study seems to show) actually improves communities. I hope you can find a solution. :-/
I did NWT and est at about the same time. It was a very stressful time. And I was very unstable. I'm bipolar, and I was teetering between mania and depression. And between anger and self-hate.

From NWT, I mainly got that I was chronically insecure and fearful. And that I covered it up with aggressive edginess. I still get like that sometimes, but I'm never as unconscious about it as I was pre-NWT.

It's hard to summarize what I got from est and Landmark so glibly. A key piece is that the voice in my head isn't me, but rather stuff generated from the machinery. And that listening to it just gets me more of what I often didn't like getting before. So I learned to thank myself for sharing, and then to get in touch with what really mattered to me. As they say, my principles and values. As opposed to the ideals and standards that I'd been programmed with.

I also got lots of training in how to get stuff done. Promises and requests. The importance of tracking progress and performance. The concept that being comes before, and is the key to, doing and having. The stages of projects, and especially the idea that the relationship between effort and results is hugely nonlinear.

Edit: Also, I did NWT for maybe 2-3 years. But I did Landmark actively for over 25 years.

With the new Tesla fast chargers you can get about 150miles in 10~12min. Which is about the time spent to buy food and leave at a fastfood restaurant.
I suppose it depends on your country, but in the U.S. your income would never be garnished to the point that you couldn't afford basic living expenses. Most UBI schemes pay below the poverty level, which means it's unlikely your UBI payments would ever be taken to pay down debt.

IOW, you're absolutely better off with UBI and massive debt than you are with no UBI and no debt.
>> the interviewer might toss out "So, tabs or spaces?" ... maybe you also honestly believe this is something worth flaming about ... I wouldn't advise revealing the latter information.

> this reads as "if you want the job then you [should/are entitled to] misrepresent yourself to bypass the filtering mechanism".

I don't think so... it's more like, if you have a deeply held viewpoint, can you effectively work with others who have different viewpoints? If you can strike a compromise or convince them to change, that's the best. If you can bury your differences, that's not ideal but at least workable.

Given the spaces/tabs example, if you are sincerely passionate about using spaces instead of tabs, and you're able to convince a tab-user to switch to spaces without upsetting them, that's the best, demonstrating leadership. Almost as good, is if you can explain how much you like spaces but have happily worked together with tab users (tabbers?). Finally, if you say you like spaces but you're happy to keep silent about it (or if you don't mention it at all), that's not as good as the others, but probably fine too.

Any company that values innovation should encourage differing viewpoints to be raised, but not to the point that it becomes a distraction and hinders overall productivity.

> If the patient could choose any doctor because they aren't limited to in-network only and the doctors couldn't charge different prices for insurance vs. cash, and if patients actually knew what the prices were beforehand there would be actual competition and downward pressure on prices.

This implies that there are enough doctors. But current reality is that supply is artificially limited and there are not enough doctors.

I'm not really sure how much glass or aluminum containers would matter to the fundamental point?

The plant that purifies the water and puts it into the glass and aluminum containers almost certainly uses plastic or rubber tubing in its machinery. So you'd likely get some plastic particles transferred there as well. In the end, I'd be willing to bet that tap water has fewer micro plastics than water bottled in glass or aluminum.

Problem, of course, is that your municipality likely uses some form of metal piping to get water to your tap. Which, depending on what all that is, could mean elevated lead levels etc.

It's a tough problem.
>Can we really just outright claim that all sex workers think the same way?

And this is what I responded to.

Also a) implying that prostitution is exploitation per se and b) implying every sex worker who said something positive about their work is a somehow rewarded astroturf shill is at the very least problematic.

There are happy sex workers, there are unhappy sex workers (who still do it with the same level of voluntary participation as a "data entry specialist" in some cubicle or a worker gutting fish in a factory do their jobs; to make ends meet) and there are exploited/coerced/forced sex workers.

The latter is a problem and a big one, and there were and are many proposed solutions to tackle it, and nobody found a really well working one yet, but putting those victims in a spot where they themselves are criminals is something that I would think cannot be helpful.
(*) I‘d rip you to shreds if you tried to make up a story on the go.

Happened to me about three times during way more than 300 interviews.

About ten times more candidates actually thanked me for the nicest and most informative interview with actionable feedback they ever had with a company. YMMV.

Looks like I was triggered a bit by parent, it‘s always interesting how much more unbalanced any nuance comes across in writing.

Other than that, I stand by my technique, but it‘s mainly a question of tone. The first whole paragraph of my carefully A/B tested script solely concerns itself with making a candidate comfortable, as interviews prefer natural extroverts.

90% of that time, this question actually ends up in a mutuably enjoyable conversation.
> You can't compare the US standard of care with the rest of the world's standard of care.

This is a meme I hear a lot from Americans but having lived in America and elsewhere, I don't believe it at all.

Do you have any data supporting it?

The best I could find is life expectancy (US is #31 worldwide) and maternal mortality rate (US is #46 worldwide). The US doesn't seem to excel here by any means. Can you point to data where the US does excel? Is there evidence that people entering an American hospital exit with better outcomes than people entering say a Swiss hospital or French hospital?

And anecdotally, my experiences with healthcare in the US were strictly negative. Things like $600 for some regular over the counter medication from a hospital (and that's just the co-pay at an in-network hospital). Living in Australia and Switzerland, my experiences were much, much better.

Semantically, you're absolutely correct. I think it's just important to clarify that "vulnerability" in this context refers more to "emotional transparency". I think someone who is confident in themself and has a respectable amount of emotional intelligence could navigate a position where they are emotionally honest (i.e. "vulnerable") with others without necesarily exposing weaknesses that compromise them from the professional point of view.

While I originally saw this discussion chain as you playing devil's advocate, I realize now you've done a good job helping reframe the scenario in a much better light. For most people (including myself), we don't separate emotional honesty from vulnerability because emotionally we _are_ vulnerable. Working towards a sense of self that is comfortable with emotional reviews that are as intense as a code reviews is something worth striving for.
Xerox Grapevine experienced this in 1983. Servers that had free disk space for messages in a congested cluster would announce this, and other nodes would swarm and relocate objects there and you'd get oscillation.

> The moral of the story here is make sure you pick a metric that reacts to the change in request rate as quickly as your request rate changes!

The key things are that you don't react to changes in the metric faster than the metric can move (be appropriately damped), and that you react to the metric "smoothly" (e.g. pick a random server where the odds to get a specific server vary with the loading metric, like you mention).

As others say, it's fundamentally a controls problem... a controls problem where there are many, many actuators and the delay/phase shift is relatively unpredictable. Making things easy for the control system by making reaction smooth and the system overall react slowly (overdamped) is important.

Is there any empirical evidence that rent as a fraction of GDP, grows? That could happen in case of quick economic growth combined with a lack of major inventions (people get more money but struggle to find what to spend it on - they already have all newest stuff and newer one is slow to get invented - so keep a lot of free cash -> rent grows). But these times aren't like that.

So i tend to believe these observations are largely made up. There is no "squeeze" in the sense that economy-wide, cyclically adjusted, rents do not grow faster than GDP per capita does.

Don't gloss over the fact that telemetry over cell networks can be costly for users (more and more plans are unlimited, so this doesn't worry me as much) and draining on batteries. However you do it, data that's not latency-critical should be buffered and batched.

So I also live in EU and, regarding DNS, I trust NA way more than the ISP of my country.

Your local intelligence agency and local ads network can probably way more easily and legally look into the local DNS records of the same country than the records stored on another continent.

What's more, I don't mind the USA having my browsing habits because they can't easily use it against me, as EU is a different market.

It's all about splitting the data about yourself to different competing entities, rather than trusting only one entity with everything.
