> I'm sure you'll find something to nitpick over but I think it's pretty good for a programming tutorial recorded in my home office.

It's not nit picking.

The video you linked sounds much much better and really really good. Besides turning off your heater did you do any other processing with software afterwards? Such as using your video editor's noise cancellation filters or a proper DAW?

I'm just asking because taking a quick skim through your videos, your live stream videos all have some form of hiss but your shorter non-live screencasts do not which makes me think additional post-processing is being done on them.

But I think the OP's channel intro video and your live stream video is a good example of the importance of managing background noise, which isn't mentioned in the article at all but it's probably the most important thing to do and you can't just blindly throw money at the problem to fix it with no prior knowledge.

For a professional set up, it seems like a no brainer to want to filter out background and room noise before it even hits your computer. That's some of what the DBX does. This way the amount of effort it takes to do a live stream or screencast is the same when it comes to audio quality. You just turn it on and hit record, and you're done. It also works the same in OBS, your video recording tool of choice, zoom, hangouts, skype or any program that records your mic.

You mentioned being an audio engineer. Surely you know how important having a good audio source is, and how time consuming the editing process is when you need to fiddle with cleaning things up after the fact. Configuring all of this stuff to happen live is something I did after recording about 20 videos. Now 400+ videos later I couldn't imagine having to do post-processing on videos just to clean up audio.
Your 1 on 1s are going to evolve over time with them.

At the start you want to simply build some rapport and get a feel for their work style. Ask them about how they prefer certain things like project updates and how to handle problems that arise.

Then, as you get comfortable, your 1 on 1s can and should cover a wide variety of topics:
- Your Career Growth / areas of interest you have
- Suggestions for improving you/your team's work
- Problems you want their help with / what they think of the solution you came up with
- Personal issues that could affect your work (babies, funerals, long term sickness of loved ones, divorces, etc)
- Praise things your manager did you like so they do more of it (They're human too...let em know)
- If they're open to it, feedback you have for them
- FYIs that you may know about that they may not have visibility to and will want to monitor (see Andy Grove's "Black box of management" https://medium.com/@iantien/top-takeaways-from-andy-grove-s-...)
- Things you want to lobby for (changes, class you want to take, a project, a certain assignment, etc)

Does the question "can a computer cause quantum collapse?" have an answer?
Here's another one: https://thecritic.co.uk/remembering-george-steiner/
Friend-to-friend networks[1] bring the self-moderation most real-world networks rely on to the digital, without imposing a centralized power structure.

No surveillance needed: if you see one of your peers (/"friend") committing a crime, it's on you to report it. On the other hand, if they are breaking a law nobody cares about (e.g. buying weed), nothing is going to happen to them. That's how society works already.

RetroShare, though it's almost dead, was a wonderful example of this. File-sharing is anonymous, but limited by a certain number of hops through your friends and the friends of their friends. As such, for a regular user, it had all the warez any extended group of friend would like to share between themselves, but none of the child-pornography or snuff films you could expect to end up on in "global" anonymous P2P networks. And it could even be free of warez if your friends abided by intellectual property laws.

To your second point, I find that people who have a "natural" knack for something have a very hard time understanding it's not easy or even physically possible for others to do what they do.
But also don't pretend that your prime rate example is the typical case for the 7-year loans, which are mostly subprime borrowers who don't plan on perfectly maintaining and keeping the car forever.
CarMax typically doesn't sell cars that old. 3-5 years is their typical upper age. The odds of a major issue with a car that's only half as old, I'd imagine, are lower.
I’d call undependable but maybe it’s the same thing in practice?
What if the “license” to use FSDM belongs to the user and not the car?
What if the original owner comes back and claims that he bought the license and he should be allowed to use it in his new car rather than go with the old car? Is that an unfair demand.

That is how it works for my Tesla. I bought one of the original 10000 or so Tesla and they came with unlimited supercharging. Tesla told me that I will have unlimited supercharging even if I get a new Tesla which I think is a better solution than it going away when I sell the old car.
There are a ton of reasons taking a loan is better than buying outright if you have any sort of risk tolerance and you can get a low APR. Over 5 years, on a 20k car, inflation would have eaten ~2k purchasing power of the loan, while the car's value isn't affected. 2014-2019, S&P500 has returned >10% (inflation adjusted). AND you can always trade money for a lien free car, but it's a lot harder to trade the car for money (you're gonna still need a car and title for loan deals aren't great).

Taking a loan out for the car means I'm buying a 20k car for 18k, being able to return 10% a year on the money I borrowed, with the ability to pay off the car anytime I want.

Buying a car in cash is for those who can't get a low APR loan and/or are too risk averse to use debt properly.
I don't see how this could ever truly compete with traditional cookbooks.

I don't want to eat the exact same macaroni and cheese dish served on one side of the country that I can on the other.

I think what I am trying to say is that cooking can never be standardized, nor should it.

You cannot standardize the world's recipes into a monolithic volume like Wikimedia has done with facts.

I mean you could, but the 7,000 variations on every chef's take on a Reuben sandwich would be a chore to sift through.

Facts rarely change, tastes often do.
Unimpressed with the argument. Different people play competitive games with completely different mindsets and you are also not just competing against your peers, for example, you may be playing someone with much less free time to dedicate to the game. Same goes for some real life hobbies.

That's significantly different than getting to the top 5% in your class, where everyone is supposed to be peers and dedicated.

I think this really comes down to the level of competition for each particular activity. Getting "Legend" in Hearthstone for example means pretty much nothing (can be achieved while playing quite casually), while getting top 5% in a cellular biology class with 80% premed students is very impressive.

Then I'm not sure how you've stomached any interview with a private company. Companies don't give you a consistent
paycheck because you have a natural right to one. They give you one because you wouldn't produce value for them if they didn't.

The S&P500 analogy is truly apt, because as a private employee you are by definition a financial investment for the company. They pay you on the condition you make more money/produce more value for them than you take. Every day at work is you justifying the existence of your paycheck. If you want a bigger paycheck you need to prove a higher valuation to justify it (either by producing more internally or getting a higher external offer). If you become a bad investment you will be treated the same way as an under-performing stock in a portfolio. Maybe held onto in the hopes that you'll improve, maybe held onto for legal reasons (they can't legally fire you due to X law) but eventually losses are cut.

Most interviewers expect you to at least be average so they're not going to insult you by asking you to work for free (that would make you less likely to work for them), but if you walked in and could convince them that you would produce quality work 70 hours a week, for free, until the day you were too medically infirm to work, and that you weren't too good to be true, they'd have no reason not to take you up on that offer.
One thing that I've learned over the years playing modern board games is that the vast majority of the population is too intellectually lazy to bother learning new games. They'd rather keep playing their (outdated) classics that they know than learn new and better-designed games.

nice handwavey dismissal.

to call these microbenchmarks (especially when viewed collectively) for the purpose of dismissing the results is dishonest at best.

each datapoint on the graph represents a lot of internal metrics (GC, JS, DOM, layout/css). these aren't some one-liner JS loops. when you have a diverse set of "microbenchmarks", and they all show the same trend, you can be pretty sure the results are not "contrived".
A possibly impolitic question: if you've already accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars, is the marginal utility to your children of attending USC or Georgetown (as bribed here) really worth almost a million dollars (as bribed here)?
If you look at contractor day rates that sounds about right to me.
Sorry, yes, I was hasty. Ordered dicts supports such a thing with intervening modifications:

oldkeys = list(D.keys())
D[z] = foo(z)

now if you take

zip(oldkeys, D.values())

then you're guaranteed to iterate over oldkeys, with the proper values associated with those keys -- if z was an oldkey, its value got updated; otherwise, it comes after oldkeys and gets dropped out of zip.

The subtlety of this is what I, and perhaps others, find the most jarring.

"In a salient departure from traditional engine design, NASA and its business partners have adapted commercial, off-the-shelf technologies and common manufacturing methods to develop the Fastrac engine. Significant involvement by small business has aided in broadening the competition and producing lower cost hardware.

For example, Barber-Nichols, Inc. of Arvada, Colo., worked alongside Marshall engineers to design and manufacture the turbopump. The Colorado-based company is experienced in building turbomachinery for the automotive industry and chemical plants, and not traditionally associated with the aerospace industry. The company helped design a turbopump for the Fastrac engine that can be built easily using commercial manufacturing techniques."

Sounds like NASA itself took help from the industry then.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_(rocket_engine_family)

"The SpaceX turbopump was an entirely new, clean sheet design contracted to Barber-Nichols, Inc. in 2002 who performed all design, engineering analysis, and construction; the company had previously worked on turbopumps for the RS-88 (Bantam) and NASA Fastrac engine programs."

Turbopump is often the most complex part of the engine; doing it from scratch raises doubts how much the engine was derived.

I don't think NASA helped to SpaceX that much before Falcon-1 reached the orbit.
Yeah, we had a guy at LBNL who was a big OS2 fan. Worked fine for me, and I do have a fairly heavy coastal accent. Mind you it worked in a big, loud industrial facility.

I thought the previous KNN based approaches worked better than the RNN based ones. Which is more or less my point here. The main piece of "progress" we got was the result of a giant corporation having a large corpus of data. The actual technology hasn't improved or changed a whole hell of a lot.

I'm eventually going to write a history of technological progress documenting this. Progress is very obviously slowing down other than the improvements in lithography which are now fading out. Throw away anything with a screen in your household and life is basically identical to what it was 20, even 40 years ago. That wasn't true within my lifetime: there were huge strides made in technology in decades gone by -in my lifetime even. We're at the point where a lot of "progress" is just changes in fashion; KNN versus neural approaches. People buying the latest iphone (which is really no more capable than the early iphones); wondering at the facial recognition IR thingee. Oh sure, DL can do some tricks that were not possible before, but their actual real world impact is marginal, and sometimes, it's not even an improvement over other techniques.
This is why I used to hate cooking.

But one day I was watching Gordon Ramsey work with a home cook and the home cook was trying to keep up with Ramsey.

It was amazing because Ramsey kept his whole cooking area so clean and organized, and the home cook's area looked like a tornado passed through. At that point I had an epiphany and started trying to keep organized like Ramsey.

Pretty quickly I became very efficient and clean in the kitchen. This is a skill that takes practice and experience and is as integral to cooking as the actual cooking.

Now I think about the order I do things, the order I use my tools, tool placement, tool cleanup, and surface cleanup as I cook. The result is that very rarely do I have more than a single pan (or two) to wash after cooking, and the kitchen is usually cleaner when the meal is done than when I started.

I put this to the test, last Thanksgiving when I cooked a large meal for 5 people over the course of several hours and when I was done I did not have a single dirty dish (other than those being used for serving/eating) and my dishwasher was empty. It felt good because just a year prior I would have had a destroyed kitchen with a sink full of pots and pans and dirty counters.

I call it "kitchen craft" (like field craft) and if you work to practice it, it gets better every time you cook. And it makes cooking so much easier. For instance, making something like tortillas from scratch used to be a huge endeavor because I'd have such a big mess to cleanup afterword. It seemed daunting. Now I will make tortillas on a whim because I wan't a breakfast burrito and my kitchen will be clean before the pan is even hot enough to cook the tortillas.
I'm now wondering if I can use this to root my phone.
What would that look like? Can you provide a couple of specific pieces of hardware examples?

It seems people dont realize that you can have your cake and eat it too. You can have both orderered and unordered maps in the same language:

No reason to argue about which one to make "dict". In fact it would be better to have both because youre taking a performance hit (a significant one) by ordering the entries.

Does the feature get attached to the car, or is it associated with the first human licensee?

If the car had the license, and the car was returned and transferred to a third party dealer. Then the OEM decided that the entitlement no longer existed.

I'm not aware of any other scenario where a core component of a car isn't linked to the car. If Tesla didn't fuck up, they are applying Microsoft/Oracle software license terms to the car.
what is meatspace
We can harness the equivalent timeframes of evolution with simple GAs over quick runs (<1m), but we get nowhere near the results. What is the secret sauce?
I, like everyone else here, was initially outraged that this could happen and I immediately thought "Oh Tesla, what have you done to your public perception". This is just not what people are expecting and this scenario works against Tesla being embraced by the "every man".

However, I did have another thought that I have not seen talked about - does the person that originally bought the car still have autopilot? In other words, if they buy a new Tesla, does it automatically come with autopilot? Is the purchase of autopilot linked to the person and not the car?

Though I still don't like that, I could be at least be persuaded to accept that paradigm.
FYI you can already get engineering units on eBay for that price. I have a few...
This might not work if you’re distributing a wheel.
One issue that I have with that explanation is that the Monroney may not necessarily be the sole contract between Tesla and the dealer. Without hearing the dealer's side of the story, this part is hard to know conclusively.

I generally agree that this will never be as popular as Wikipedia. But when cooking, I rarely follow the recipe exactly. The existence of a standardized recipe does not imply a standardized dish.
> Going back to the pre-2008 GOOGL would be quite nice, even if they had to charge for services like Search.

1. Pre-2008 GOOG never charged for search
2. Can you think of any general-purpose examples where charging for search has worked? I can think of a few in the specialist space (academic papers, law documents, medical professionals) but nothing in the general-purpose space. That sounds like a recipe for the company's revenue imploding.
But those apps were written for specific resolution and you (probably) cannot make them render themselves with higher resolution. And MacOS unlike Windows simply doesn't support running old apps.
That's the point of DPDK: to get the kernel out of the way of packet processing.

Userland packet processing (in network context) is much more flexible and less brittle than forcing certain functionality to exist solely in the Kernel layer. However things do exist that allow you to (mostly) transparently re-jigger a standard app's TCP/IP calls. One such example is using LD_PRELOAD to "hijack" the sys-calls for certain things and snake it to your (super high performance) userspace app!

There's a lot of exciting stuff happening in the open source networking world (DPDK, VPP/FDio, Network Service Mesh, etc). I really recommend digging into it!
I've had a lot of success using a Discord server to learn French. The big gaps in my self-learning knowledge were pronunciation and conversation. (It's one thing to be able to read/write the language at your own pace but different to be able to "think" and react in that language in conversation.) Discord chat rooms are great and thanks to the voice channels I've almost got the 'r' down. Most of the servers even have user "flair" so you can let others know if you'd like to be corrected on your mistakes or if you prefer others let them slide.
I might have preferred odict be added and dict left alone, so that you didn't have to import OrderedDict when really you just want the new dict. If dict and odict mapped to the same thing for a while, fine, but dict could diverge again if desired.
Indeed, the skill is designing a deck to be less sensitive to such randomness, adapting a side deck, reading the opponent's tactics to counter them or exploit them and responding correctly to the challenges if things go wrong.

Essentially, making your own luck.

QAnon in particular has been extraordinarily effective at diverting people with a manic focus on the Epstein case and elite pedophilia into a never-ending maze of dead ends and spurious connections.

I’m not saying you can’t buy a used Tesla from Tesla.com with FSD or Acceleration Boost, I’m saying that they are selling that feature over again to you at that time.

There are dozens of forum posts discussing this over the years on Tesla Motors Club and Reddit. [1]

People get confused because a site might list a car based on the VIN as having FSD but on Tesla.com the car is listed without FSD and the price is lower.

It’s up to Tesla to decide if they want to try to sell a used car that they own with or without certain software features. It all comes down to the sales contract between Tesla and the new owner (in this case the used car dealer) which is the key piece of information missing in this story.

The point is that the sane, correct choice is also the easy, default choice in Rust. We've been able to implement (ptr,len) buffer types in C for as long as we've had C, but uint8_t* is both baked into many APIs, and the path of least resistance.

We've spent decades pushing the limits of security improvements we can get through asking people to please try harder and do better with C, but we still see a high rate of high-impact errors like this.

Rust's safety model isn't the only valuable thing about Rust. Another big valuable part of Rust is that instead of giving the programmer a box of unsafe tools and a post-it reminding them to be careful, Rust provides sane, safe default tools that have been built based on what we've learned from the past several decades.

The argument isn't "Only Rust can save you", but that Rust is a good choice that both meets the same performance requirements, and avoids these problems by default.

If you've got a better solution to persuade C and C++ developers to consistently and reliably always wrap their use of pointers from other APIs into (ptr,len) buffer types, I'd love to hear it!

With comments like this, I sometimes feel like many developers are much more interested in smugly dismissing a group that's made significant real-world progress in making it easy to do the right thing than they are in actually helping real developers to reliably make safer software today.
