Still think that tests have a role, but there's room to improve them. While human contact is nice, it's also costly, so improving testing would still be a great way to innovate.

For example, I received a great coding test from Vertica, a database company. Their test was a 2-hour timed exercise involving improving a ~200 LoC data querying program. This is nicer for the following reasons:

- It doesn't require me to bootcamp with LeetCode because you have a bunch of people out there who train and "overperform" on such coding Qs.

- It's specific enough to the domain but still fairly generic. The test covers techniques covered in a standard intro sequence.

- It's timed, so it doesn't waste time like most take-home assessments.

- It's predictive power of t skiechnical ability is better (my opinion). People like to say that such tests don't test enough for problem solving. However, if you are missing 6 months-1 year worth of domain knowledge, you won't be able to contribute for a while no matter how good your problem solving ability is. An average candidate stays for <<10 years so you want the person who can start contributing sooner even if they have a lower "peak" potential. (Also, I believe generic problem solving is kinda BS. I was good at math and coding contests years ago, but now I would consider myself to be an average interviewer. Even though I'm an good problem-solver for certain systems problems, I don't consider myself one for ML ones or people-heavy problems.)

To summarize, I would love to see better tests than the ones we have now and think there's clear room to improve.

Best tool you can get initially is an accountant. :)

Seriously, not being a complete smart ass, just find a local accountant that can help you properly book your revenue and help you on taxes. It seriously doesn't cost much money and unless you are just doing tons of deals use either excel or something super simple like QuickBooks for your accounting. Quickbooks is nice because so many accountants are familiar with it and can set you up to where all they do is come in once a quarter and help you organize your taxes etc.

When you are starting off (wish I would've done this way back when) pay your estimated tax to a separate bank account every month, this will help make sure you don't get caught come tax time. Most likely what will happen is you will only pay a portion of what you saved for taxes since you'll have write offs etc that you can utilize.

So seriously the best tool I can recommend is an accountant to set you up and help you as you need it.

Outside of that: Quickbooks is a decent accounting package that will let you send invoices, book payments, services, and even can track time if you really need it to at some point. Many 8 figure businesses still run off quickbooks because it works for most common scenarios. I personally used an app (many exist) for tracking time because it was simple and would let me create jobs and track time against multiple clients which made invoice time easier. I even used it when I had consultants working for me to have them submit their time to me since the one I was using would send a CSV file of their time to job number and I could put those into an excel file and pivot out all the time to put together invoices easily.

Adam Schiff’s Impeachment Game Plan

> The crucial difference I point is "persist on disk" vs "do it in memory", not in the "binary representation". Both running programs and DBs have one, but one absolutely needs to be persisted on disk, whereas live program memory doesn't.

Right, I agree, and my point was it doesn’t matter. Disk vs memory is a red herring. The same principles apply to both and the fact that disk is slower applies as much to product types as it does to sum types. In fact, sum types are represented as product types, but the system enforces invariants about the structure.

> There's also the fact that it might not be a problem just an easy cop-out from the user.

That’s a nope from me. Tools exist to solve problems. If a tool purports to solve a problem but only does it halfway, it warrants criticism or observation.

> In which case it's better to force your users into the more formal and rigid structure, and have them rethink their model, than turn the DB into an "anything goes anywhere" store.

RDBMSs are literally forcing their users into a less formal structure. You can’t rethink your model and make them go away (they are fundamental data modeling primitives), you can only find ways to hack product types to represent them, but you have to do all the work to make them fast and you probably just have to give up on verifiable safety altogether.

And how do you get from “sum types” to “anything goes data store”? Are you sure you understand the debate?

With the ability for the Ergodox EZ to emulate a serial port , I can use Plover+Ergodox EZ as layer 1, say, and Dvorak as layer 0, without needing to change anything at the OS or application level when I do this (Dvorak will be seen as a USB HID which Plover won't see and steno-mode will be seen as a serial connection, which gets processed by Plover and forwarded to the OS).
Why Galaxies and Solar Systems Are Flat
> Negative grid prices are the consequences of power plants which cannot shut down in times of oversupply, that is mainly coal and nuclear.

Riddle me this, then: Why did negative energy prices emerge along with renewables[1]?

The problem isn't coal/nuclear, because the variance in demand is far lower than the variance in output of renewables. Furthermore, both coal and nuclear plants can be adjusted to react to seasonal variance.

The connection between language, handedness and schizophrenia is fascinating. The cardinal symptoms of schizophrenia - auditory hallucinations, thought insertion (believing someone is inserting thoughts into your head) and thought broadcasting (believing that people can hear your thoughts), can all be regarded as a problem assigning the source of your thoughts.

I.E. if someone tells you something, and you process this as a thought, if you lose the 'metadata' of the thought, you might be unsure if this originated from yourself or someone else.

Handedness came about with the development of language - for most people (even left-handed), the language centre is on the left side of the brain. Lack of handedness is associated with increased risk of schizophrenia. There's a professor who used to teach me at Oxford who believed that the genes involved with handedness and brain lateralisation are the same genes involved in schizophrenia.

This is correct - read the fantastic “making of the atomic bomb” - the planners kept competition alive for as long as possible because no one really knew which path was going to work. In contrast the nazi project, among other reasons, failed because it focused nearly exclusively on heavy water and didn’t have internally competing projects.

The cells are made of purified, doped silicon. That means very pure crystalline silicon modified with tiny additions of boron and phosphorus. A chemist would consider them "pure" silicon -- they are more than 99.99% silicon. About 95% of solar module manufacturing uses silicon cells. The remaining ~5% is split between thin film cadmium telluride modules and an even smaller volume of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin film modules.

GaAs cells are far too expensive for terrestrial use.

> SRS shines when it comes to memorizing decontextualized, atomic information (e.g. countries and capitals, the periodic table of elements or writing Japanese kanji), but not for learning a language in general.

I have acquired >3,000 words from daily anki usage in Korean. Not only is it possible, it's the only way for me because inputting words into anki (or any SRS system) takes so long.

I interleave two decks: a premade sorted one with 5.8k words, and my personal deck that I occasionally add to.

The issue is that later on, you start delving into ambiguous territory for words. I've found that it's impossible if you maintain a (word in your native language) frontside and (target language word) on the backside.

Now I am slowly migrating to having the definition of the word in Korean on the front, and the target word on the back. I'm sure this won't be perfect, but it's better than having one english word potentially map to many korean words.

Using anki has bolstered my Korean learning because, well, I can recognize more words when I read or watch native material! Previously it was impossible for me to read the news because I had to look up every. single. word. Now it's more like 65-80%, which makes it much more tolerable.

In an ideal world one would learn a word, then put it into anki, but it's simple math. ~1 min per word (very generous) is only 60 words per hour. I usually fluctuate between 1-2 minutes because I have to check 2 dictionaries to make sure it's accurate, then add other data like grammatical type, and so forth. It may be easier for a language that lacks chinese characters, but I have to make 3 dictionary searches to add one card. So I only rarely add anki cards now... I have notebooks filled with lists and lists of words that I wrote down from seeing it in native material, that I just don't have time to manually add into anki.

If I were -only- studying Korean, then I could muster ~2-4 hours a week or so to add anki cards. But I have work, and life, and other hobbies, etc. Any time spent not adding cards, is more time for me to study my other decks, etc.
It's more efficient (potentially substantially more so). In a typical threaded system you have some leaf functions which take up a substantial amount of stack space but don't block so you don't need to save their state between context switches. In most green threaded applications you still need to allocate this space (times the number of threads). The main advantage of this kind of green threads is you can seperate out the allocation which you need to keep between context switches (which is stored per task)versus the memory you only need while actually executing (which is shared between all tasks). For certain workloads this can be a substantial saving. In principle you can do this in C or C++ by stack switching at the appropriate points but it's a pain to implement, hard to use correctly (the language doesn't help you at all), and I've not seen any actual implementations of this.

Recently saw an ad for an IT support position at a hospital. The list of potential hazards in the work environment listed in the ad likely scares off many who have plenty of other employment opportunities. And most hospitals can't jack up the pay to compensate so attracting good talent is going to be a problem.
Not remotely true. TPUs and GPUs are neck in neck with each other right now w/r to overall efficiency, check out https://mlperf.org/press#mlperf-training-v0.6-results for more details.

GPU advantage: more refined ecosystem and you can buy them for $<1000 or get laptops with them built in, and if NVDA has sweat more software engineering blood and tears than GOOG into your model's functions, it will run better on them

TPU advantage: Colab has a free tier that lets you play with them at no charge and if GOOG has sweat more software engineering blood and tears into your model's functions, it will run better on them.

All IMO of course. And deep down it can get more complicated than that, but I salute GOOG for being the first company to ship competitive AI HW, doubly so at scale.
Honestly I have to completely disagree. Security is simply bad.

Hospital IT depts are pulled between many competing interests which lead up to this.

I do research in ML hw field: there are currently a couple hundred designs to run a convolutional NN inference. A couple of dozen have been built. They have pretty different underlying technologies (CMOS, floating gate, ReRAM/memristors, etc), different ideas (systolic arrays, analog crossbars, cache organization, lookup tables, data reuse, TDM, using spikes, etc), wildly different power (from microwatts to hundreds of Watts), size, speed, precision, flexibility, cost, ease of use/integration, etc. This is just convnet inference. Lots more is needed to do training in hw, again with multiple choices on how to do it.

So which one design you suggest we all use for all our ML needs?

Discussions about perception and reality are always good, even if this article seems a little tame compared to what philosophers have argued about for centuries. But it's nice to see such a discussion coming from scientists, and not just philosophers. Physicists have especially given new life to these ideas though. You can go down an existential wormhole if you want to, where the implications of spacetime readily suggest the passage of time itself is an illusion (brief intro of one idea: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2015/04/03/the-rea...). One implication of a timeless universe (there are many labels/forms: Laplace's Demon, eternalism, block universe) is that there are no privileged moments in time. So why do we find ourselves localized and perceiving this coordinate in the 4D spacetime block and not any other? Conceivably, in an infinte universe which ends in maximum entropy, there are many more observers where entropy is higher than it is now or was near the big bang. (Assuming observers can't form in the extreme densities of the initial singularity, there is an infinite time in comparison for Botlzmann brains to fluctuate into existence in the high entropy, low density "future" - ours in an in between point, but infinitely tiny when compared to an eternal heat death). About the only solution from physicists to avoid such Boltzmann brain problems is to invoke the multiverse (where some verses recollapse and can never form observers).
