> Google Search is in a horrendous state right now.

I bet they simply optimized for the average person on the web, and we're outliers.
The search AI probably opted out because of your preferences...
I often search error messages, but sometimes I don't find anything and I think to myself: - Am I the only person in the world who got this error!? Or I finally find a forum post and the answer is "just google it"
I have to append 'reddit' to a lot of queries now to find relevant information it seems. I was researching standing desks recently and was having a hard time getting through the cruft with regular google searches.
By the way, this means that Google and others should do business in China right? Doesn’t the same logic work on that level too?
Atleast we agree on the venality of investment banks ;)

Professional traders don't trade leveraged ETFs (ETNs) because they know the friction and carry built into them. A professional trader who wants to make a leveraged bet on S&P will just use e-mini futures.

You missed the point about create/redeem. When I create in SPY I can submit a basket+cash component equivalent to 50,000 shares and get back 50,000 SPY. For redeem, I can submit SPY and get back the equivalent basket and cash component.

ProShares Ultra QQQ (3x NASDAQ) had $5.4B in the trust as per Yahoo finance. The holdings [1] had $13.7B in swaps, $0.5B in treasuries and $2B in stock. How exactly would I create/redeem this basket in kind?

I wonder why they didn't just adopt it as a fictitious entry?

Politically manipulated like astroturf suburban gun nuts showing up armed and demanding an end to public health measures who were being actively orchestrated by Hair Twitler's thumbs?

Regarding your statement: No. the scope and genuine rage of it is indicative of just how NOT organized it is.
You wouldn't understand that, however, if your knee-jerk reaction is minimize racist American policing practices.
(which aren't suprising, given the origins of SOME American police forces in militias hunting runaway slaves, and others origins in working security for the great industrial "robber barons", betcha didn't know that.)

Your dismissal of global visceral POINTED anger over police violence-with-impunity ignores
1) the scores of extremely well known black victims of police aggression that didn't result in any change.
Philando Castile comes to mind, Freddy Gray, Eric Garner, Michael Brown.

People are FED UP, and the issue isn't a light one like "i want a haircut" but rather, "I want not to be murdered by cops by the simple virtue of my skin color"

fair enough. makes sense, in that light.

Sales isn't my thing/department, I'd probably be amazed at how big the sales teams are at some of these places. Is that part of tech a kinda of a turnstile as it is?
Who decides what is and isn't cruft? You?

Is data journalism cruft? Are web applications? Is Google Office cruft? What about the web application my parents have been using to order groceries during the pandemic - that has loads of JS, and loads of CSS to make it readable to anyone over 40. Does that qualify as cruft?

Are dyslexia friendly styelsheets cruft? Is Google Maps cruft? It's full of JavaScript. Are browser games cruft? I played QuakeJS last night and had a lot of fun with it. I was also using a WebXR 3D app the other day to preview a rental property remotely - is being able
to socially distance myself cruft?

It's all cruft until you ask the people who use it.
This is nitpicking by you, in my opinion. There are of course levels of authority between the judiciary and the legislature. Nevertheless, Congress can always overrule SCOTUS, it just depends what level of law they need to pass. A constitutional amendment is lawmaking.

Résumé/CV: https://github.com/SerpentAI

Email: On my Github page

13 years in the industry; Mostly in startups and R&D departments. Spent the last 3 working on my own projects / research following an acquisition. In that time, I authored the Serpent.AI framework, released a handful of Python packages and worked on a few curios (e.g. custom style transfer implementations, auto-painting application with NumPy and OpenCL). I'm a pretty collected, friendly person; Competent and professional. I prefer working in smaller teams / companies (more hats to wear, closer to product) with insightful and good-natured colleagues.
I don't think gp assumes bad faith. The problem I see is that free speech absolutism is currently serving as a platform to protect those who are making death threats in social networks.

Sure sometimes is difficult to discern whether a post was an actual threat or just figurative language, but is it really that terrible to delete a post that was calling to shoot people even when maybe the intention was "just figurative"?
How does a high school student get started with ML (especially DL)?
16 y/o, hasn't learnt Linear Algebra or any Calculus in School. I've been watching 3b1b and playing around with gym, but do you guys have better, more detailed resources where I can learn from?
AMP is a huge, huge improvement over the sites that it was intended to help: local news sites that are unusable, tab-crashing, malware-infested swamps. I don't know what their problem is, but they are like drug addicts and AMP is their rehab. Without AMP these sites are simply useless.
My global entry card conveniently fits in my wallet, unlike my passport which is otherwise not needed for US domestic travel.
> But they are also very beneficial during your studies. Learning alone means you never have the chance to ask for help, give help and discuss what you learned.

Plenty of sites and forums to ask for help, give help and discuss what you learned.
I'm reminded of a quote from Steve Jobs about optimizing the Macintosh.

"Well, let's say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and thats 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that's probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you've saved a dozen lives. That's really worth it, don't you think?"

I must have optimized Computer Science at least maybe a minute or two. Too bad it won't change my Erdos number.

It was really cool getting a selfie with him.

This is where I need the ELI5 part. :) But I realize some things just require hard work to understand... like ECC theory.
Oh, the giant watermelon they cut up with ground-based lasers in Clone Wars! For some reason, it's one of the two scenes I most remember from there (the other one was this weird spinny droido-tank I can't find a screenshot of now).
Maybe to achieve better than human ability you may need more than multiple eyes all around a car. But I do see that fully autonomous driving can be achieved with only visual cameras
Yes, but this is simply their contrarian nature. It's a rebellion against the overwhelming opposition to [insert whatever]. Right now that "whatever" is Trump and white people, but it's prone to change with whatever the majority of corporate media and fresh-out-of-college supports or discusses. That this fact has gone relatively unrecognized by even the supposed techno-intelligentsia for well over a decade now says volumes.
Agreed. A large part of Pipenv's raison d'être is resolving dependencies. Yet it seems to install packages in random order. This sometimes fails, so it retries failures at the end.

We actually used this in production before switching to poetry.
For stationary objects as big as a [fire]truck, that's not an excuse. They could see it early and slow down pretty gently if a lane change is out of the cards.

Edit: "P.S. Of course it's not an excuse, it's an explanation for why this happens."

For objects where you would not have to slam on the brakes, saying that it would be dangerous to slam on the brakes is not an explanation.
> I think that US-China economy is not a zero-sum game. For us to win they have to lose. It could be a win-win situation.

That's a nice thought and I think you're right that it could be, in theory.

I'd say the people running those countries don't have such goals though.

Instead they're looking for more power and square meter land,
And look at Trump and his statements related to opening fire on the protestors. The leaders don't have in mind to create a world with happy people, they'd rather burn in to get more power
You can read the article, and see the video yourself, and the answer is no: Tesla couldn't manage reliable detection of "big object blocking the way".
It's really hard to respect the argument that we have to do without verifying who participates in our most fundamental democratic process, because we can't seem to get our shit together to get everyone the proper ID. Many other countries (including the more "advanced" ones) make voting contingent on ID. It's not an unreasonable idea.

I would respect much more an effort to make ID as easy to get as possible, blanket cover everyone to make sure they have an ID, and be done with that argument once and for all.
The cards are more interesting to me than the word, which I originally thought was going to be some kind of copyright-protecting deliberate mistake.

The cards remind me of Jira tickets, with stamps and names as a kind of audit log of work associated with the ticket. I find myself curious about the information architecture and paper processes that companies built around such tickets going to and fro.

Such architectures probably have fairly close analogues in distributed systems, and there may be a thing or two to learn from how more innovative and efficient organizations structured their paper pushing.
I think this is a good basic overview of the dependency management landscape. I have a few things to add.

One is that because Python has been around for so long, it's easy to find outdated or conflicting advice about how to manage Python packages.

I think it's important to stress that pyenv isn't strictly a dependency manager, too, and depending on your OS, isn't necessary. (Supported Python versions are in the AUR[0].)

A lot of pain from Python 2 -> 3 is that many operating systems were so slow to switch their default Python version to 3. Unless something has changed in the last month or so, Mac OS _still_ uses Python 2 as the default.

It's a shame to see Python take a beating for OS-level decisions.

I appreciate this blog post very much. Glad I read it 4 years into my programming journey rather than 14 years.
> The primary job of the Supreme Court is not to decide cases. The job of the Supreme Court is to create precedent to help lower courts decide cases.

Not really. The primary job of the judiciary, SCOTUS included, is to resolve "cases and controversies." This goes to the heart of judicial restraint, as proscribed in the Constitution, and is commonly referenced in the Court's opinions.

Functionally, SCOTUS ends up writing precedent. But the precedent must flow from the case. Cases mustn't be decided for the purpose of creating precedent.
Passport is presumably harder to replace if I lose--and hoses any upcoming international trips. You don't really need your Global Entry ID for anything so it's a good card to use for ID while keeping the cards you may really need later in the trip (or even just at the gate) somewhere safe.

Voter ID isn't necessarily a bad idea on its own. But the context of its recent history in the US is important. All of the recent voter ID efforts in the US have been using it as the cornerstone of a transparent effort to disenfranchise eligible voters, and its proponents are consistently dishonest about their motives and the effects that voter ID would have.

Those despicable efforts have thoroughly tainted the entire idea of voter ID, for years to come. There's no innocent way to bring it up. Anyone who proposes or supports voter ID in the US these days is immediately suspect, and should be regarded as either a racist or politically ignorant and tone-deaf, until proven otherwise.
There are reports from California that the number of suicides skyrocketed during the lockdown. Elsewhere media is reporting that chemo was canceled for some people, I read about one purported death because of that. Also a lot less cancer diagnosis were performed.

I mean, sometimes it looks like you are being careful but you're countermeasures actually could cause more harm.
Counter-point: the "silence is violence", and the "being silent is being complicit" are somewhat popular suppositions. You can find public posts chiding people with those words for not being politically active enough.

I always travel with two forms of ID, carried separately, in case one gets lost or damaged. Usually my NEXUS card and (real-id) drivers license. Passports are a bit more awkward to carry and can't go in a wallet (usa has passport cards but I'm not a us passport holder)

I mean, sure, but the moment you attack a police officer--even if you intend to save someone's life--you're probably going to end up getting hurt even worse, if not simply shot (ESPECIALLY in Texas).
A mob demanding the arrest of someone is its own problem. You just tend to agree with the mob this time. When you disagree with the mob, you'll see the folly in the argument.

That is not what I meant, please see my other comments.
Slipped yet another year. It was supposed to take effect October 1, 2020.
I think there is no good answer for many people. I don't want ads (and will continue to block them) and I don't want to pay directly for news either.

I have paid for news in the past and found that it wasn't worth it. Part of the issue is that to get the news I would want I would have to have a subscription at like 10 different companies. Not to mention the fact that many of them still have ads EVEN if you pay.

I already have enough subscription fatigue with streaming services, apps that have gone subscription model, etc. that it just isn't going to happen.

There is no business model I've found worth supporting yet for news. I'm still waiting to find a news product good enough to pay for. It doesn't exist for me.

So my current process is to just mostly avoid articles and news sites in general and let the news that gets to me through various means (free email digests/newsletters that aggregate and summarize, other people, social media, etc) be enough. The only exception being the occasional link on an aggregator-type site like HN where someone has linked to it.
Stanford double dropout (undergrad + grad) reporting in - one piece of anecdata:

Middle class Taiwanese family of white collar parents.
Went to undergrad, dabbled in a few side projects and dropped out to work at a game company, a startup as an employee, and my own startup, in that order.

Learnings: found out I knew very little, and the branding/network/advice I could get from school would save me from reinventing the wheel over and over as a unvetted/newbie entrepreneur. This is hugely important and people don't assign enough value to it. For things where you need someone to hire you: you need to convince them somehow, and getting that piece of paper helps cover their butt and makes their life easier. I went back to school to have a bit of optionality.

Graduated and was planning on doing grad school. Spent first quarter basically playing D&D and League and barely scraped by academically, spent a few weekends hanging out with fellow Burners at a theme camp and collaborated on a few projects. I dropped out (for good this time) and pursued them -- all of them failed in the next 2 years, but what was useful was that I learned who were the good cofounder/advisors and how this kinda opaque process worked. Hit both a good startup as an advisor/early employee, then cofounded a cashflow business that I then bought out and proceeded to run for a decade.

Learnings: Knowledge and network are filled with plenty of opportunity costs -- and there's ways to make it both as a generalist and a specialist... ideally you can optimize for the intersect of what you want and what the world wants, and that ends up being the hard part. My own path was largely unplanned and opportunistic -- by hanging around an area of opportunity long enough and being ready I was able to access enough things to mildly succeed (didn't hit the stock jackpot, but I have a reasonable business).

Back to the question: the article answers it in the first few paragraphs - it depends on the person but is usually the "harder way". I only took the path because I had the priviledge/luxury to chase what I wanted, despite the vague expected value.
You may or may not realize to whom you are replying. Walter may not be overly impressed by names like Nuro. Walter might think that working for some boring non-VC-dependant company like, say, Boeing, is a perfectly reasonable career path.

You seem to be very impressed by the likes of Nuro. I would be over the moon to be able to work with Walter at any company. I'd love to just take a class from him at any school of any name.
