I thought it was fine, and not much different from Amazon or Microsoft. Actually way better than AWS, which was cold and uncommunicative the whole way through.

Phone interview, onsite with five interviews, recruiter followed up with a "sorry" a couple weeks later and an invite to try again. Tried again following year, got to skip the phone interview, did onsite with five interviews again.

Second time was a little messier because after the onsite, the recruiter said I was borderline and should try to do a "team fit" first to try and get an "internal recommendation". So I chatted with a couple team leads but the one that wanted me was the team that I didn't want. So you could call that wasted time, but, it seemed like recruiter was actually trying to help and it was fun to learn about the teams anyway. Then the hiring committee reviewed and came to an apparently rare stalemate. I was brought in for two more interviews and nailed them. But didn't get the job. Apparently a joke I made about not knowing integer division got interpreted wrongly, and that was the pivot. That was last year and I was to try again this year and will probably take them up on it sometime if I get around to it.

The first time I interviewed there, I was actively interviewing everywhere so I was already pumping through algorithms and such anyway. So no extra spent time studying. Second time I went in completely cold, and will again this year if I go.

Each of my onsites seem to have followed the pattern: three went well, one went poorly, and one I felt like the interviewer wasn't prepared or didn't know what he was looking for. But in general the problems are challenging and fun, so no issues with the interviews themselves. And recruiters have all been friendly and helpful.

They need to fix the parking situation in Kirkland though, is probably my biggest complaint.
it's certified yes. but for me, community is a crucial point and i think it's not big enough yet. maybe that's just me.

Indeed, if no one (human) is working (and, why should they, if AI exists to do their jobs), who is getting paid? If humans aren’t getting paid, how do they buy goods and services? AI of this level of sophistication almost certainly implies some sort of post-scarcity economy.

Ah - yes, tech isn't that strict, but it is definitely not agnostic to school. They're only sending recruiters to a small selection of college career fairs and they aren't chosen at random.
In my experience, teams will rack up thousands in monthly expenses just being parked in a shell on very large On-Demand or Reserved EC2 instances. Basically using them as development boxes without realizing how much they cost.

I've saved a ton of money just giving them dedicated workstations to develop on and then having everyone use a shared EC2 instance to push jobs to a fleet of spot instances for large scale training.
> you can't just override billions of years of evolution with some anti-conception and an app

Why not?

The influence of evolution here is only relevant insofar as it affects decision making i.e. brain chemistry. It's reasonable to assume that the combination of (1) cultural memes, (2) evolutionarily novel experiences created by tech, (3) visual stimulation on screens, (4) learning there are no consequences, and (5) a literal drug that you take every day, also has an influence on brain chemistry. Maybe to such an extent that it overcomes some inborn tendencies.

There's no practical difference between a brain state caused by a gene versus by something else, for example, a drug. People have all sorts of brain states that betray evolutionary advantageous behavior--just look at a mental hospital. Or what about people from different tribes all taking the bus together without breaking out into warfare.

The fact that some behavior has its origins in evolution does not make it impossible to manipulate.

Memory bandwidth.

Typically linear is using 32 bit float while srgb is using 8 bit integers. So going linear needs 4x more data transfer.

> There isn't a lot of good software written in Rust, open source or not. It's a lot of small and half-finished stuff here and there.

Perhaps you and I have very different definitions of "a lot" or of "good", because I don't agree with this at all. There are plenty of high profile Rust projects with excellent production track records. Linkerd, TiKV, and Firecracker (originally crosvm) come to mind immediately, and of course Servo. Facebook also selected it for Libra, Google for Fuchsia.
Please elaborate: which man is made of straw?

Has California real estate valuations and rents not exceeded inflation for the past decade+? In economic equilibrium should rents not equal amortized construction costs? Have increasing rents not impacted commuting distances and housing availability for the renting class worker? Would these impactions not hurt the economy as a whole? Or do you disagree that regulatory barriers to building housing benefit those who own existing housing?

This is correct, however, the distinction between labeling and training is artificial, and probably arises from the fact that ML came from academia, where it was not part of the business process.

I.e. a modern ML system should just plug into the business process from day 0, where the ML task should be performed by human and recorded by the machine.

After a while, the machine would train on this recorded data, and start replacing the humans.

Rinse and repeat.

> Might even just mirror an equal dismissal regarding server side Dart.

That'd be my guess. Given the nature of Flutter and its co-development with Dart it's not surprising that Fuchsia prioritizes it. After all, you need to implement the UI in something. Meanwhile I have literally never heard of a UI implemented in Go, and outside of the UI I can see why they don't want to use garbage collected languages in their OS.

> half-finished

Literally all of the things you mentioned (except linkerd which is mostly Go) are half-finished incubator projects. Rust has been around for over 10 years. Come on.
One of my pet peeves about Go is a lot of errors are not exposed as public variables, so your options of handling them are somewhat limited other than a generic "something went wrong". I've recently written a tool that classifies various http request errors (think SSL failure, not a 500 status code), and have had to have a deep dive into Go reflection as part of that.

I understand part of this is because they don't want to have to worry about making potentially breaking changes - but what I've had to do means my code will break if the internal API changes, and as it's using reflection the compiler won't catch it. It would be nice to have a "yes I know I shouldn't, but I really want to" (ala Ruby's send method) way of doing this that the compiler will still check.
There is a guy in hungary that offers unlocking services for about 50EUR. He is a bit difficult to work with (insists on a NDA) but the procedure is as follows: you dump the bios via SPI and send it to him. Afterwards you get a patched image back you flash onto the bios chip. Then you boot and you need to enter some numbers he also sends you (I assume some type of copy protection) and it will unlock and reset the bios password. After that you just reflash the bios image you made earlier.
Basically correct, though in Fuchsia it's called FIDL. It's protocol buffers, but not the specific project that Google refers to as "protocol buffers".

https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fuchsia/+/master/docs/devel...
There is a trick that work for some (most?) models in the T-series: if you short the pins of some chip with the right timing, you can bypass the password check. See, for example: https://amp.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/b7jbqq/reset_bios...

Yeah no that is completely false. There are less acutely snobby about completely shutting out candidates that didn’t go to the right school, but they do still heavily favor people who attended pedigreed schools. What fraction of the general population do you think attended MIT, vs the fraction of Google’s workforce that went there?

> Pretty sure it's not the landlords and wealthier classes that are making CA's government into a giant tarpit. They'd love to see less and smaller government.

They, like anyone else, want to see a government act in their interest. Sometimes that means less government, sometimes it means more. Democrats want more government in healthcare, Republicans want more government in immigration; it is about what they want not how they get it.

And yes it will sort itself out, much like Detroit has worked itself out after the auto boom. It is just sad seeing myopic governance[0] lead CA towards that future.

Having the CTO offer up support in this way is heartening. Especially because infrastructure suppliers are getting more and more centralized, which leads to possible SPOFs even with individual company distributed environments.
Yeah. I skimmed through the code. Seems unnecessarily. It does wrap it to run in the main thread, which can be useful.

I've found that more often than not, saving a few lines of code in too many places in the codebase can almost introduce a new dialect of the language for the team and newcomers to the team to learn and maintain.

I thank the author for sharing and taking the time and effort to do this and it seems like others are finding it useful, so it's all good.
Usually language related issues are only understood when a project scales beyond a core team of experts.
Sorry, I was only using the speech engine accuracy as an example. But the freedom of open source stands for any part of software: Dragon's spectacular failures for me are only in part because of its engine.

> In economic equilibrium should rents not equal amortized construction costs?

No.

I mean, even with the kind of generic-market idealized assumptions (such an unlimited competition) that never really apply to real estate anyhwere, rent would equal the amortized cost of providing the rental property, including land acquisition, construction, maintenance, etc.

Mathematics notation is basically completely determined by consensus and people come up with new notation all the time whenever they need it. In particular, in order to convince someone that your notation is better you have to show previously how hard stuff becomes easy and not how easy stuff becomes even easier.
There is literally no Rust in the main repo:

It's confounding how a project that doesn't include Rust is included in Rust's "Greatest Hits."

>New browser brands or version often "break" a lot of libraries and code.

When has it happened that browsers have broken standardized features? Browsers have gone through large lengths to stay backwards compatible. It's hard for me to think of things that have been broken besides nonstandardized stuff (like plugins, or things that only worked in one browser to begin with like IE).
They prefer to die instead?
Bumble is also really aggressive about showing you people who are new to an area. In theory this sounds nice. What this means in practice is that even though I live in a city with millions of people, about 1/4 of the people I see are just changing planes at the airport. On the flipside, you get more matches when you're traveling, so they're able to give you that dopamine hit when you're less likely to actually form a lasting connection with someone.

* Every HTTP/3 request served through Cloudflare (okay HTTP/3 is still a baby but, the future here)

* Every DNS request of every user of the 1.1.1.1 mobile app (hundreds of thousands of installs)

* Every invocation of AWS Lambda and Fargate

* 4% of Debian packages

* Every control-F in Visual Studio: Code

* Every time a user list changes in Discord, also other things.

It comes across as entitled, and also just strange and unnecessary. Like, why would you need or expect to hear directly from the CEO of Cloudflare when we're already hearing from the CTO? I'm not sure why your reply here got downvoted as well though, as I found it helpful that you explained you were simply interested in the CEO's position rather than actually expecting a response from him. So, just trying to illustrate how the initial comment came across to me, and perhaps others.

I'm a little skeptical: I see value in 5G for higher fidelity streaming of many kinds, but they may be over-stating the total economic boost here as the areas of growth being claimed strike me as IoT-heavy use cases ("mobility, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail"), but embedded hardware already biases towards using BTLE or WiFi over 4G whenever possible to extend battery life and minimize maintenance. Sensors don't need 4k streaming ;) Despite IoT being off the table, I definitely do believe there are very valuable 5G use cases across those industries mentioned.

I also think the 10 year time horizon as ambitious because 5G requires installing more base stations to cover the same network area as 4G and I can see cities (like SF) fighting the installation of more antennae. The ability to overturn NIMBY persuasion will lag the real adoption of the technology, which means people need to see a killer 5G app for this to happen.
Quantum field theory is local (which explains why we cannot send data faster than light), and also fully explains QM.

Relativity showed us that our assumptions about space and time being constant were wrong and instead light is a constant.

Similarly, QFT shows us that our measurements do not have single outcomes and never did. Instead reality is made up of quantized waves whose amplitudes are complex numbers and can interact constructive or destructively as long as they remain coherent.
