> While this may have been an unfortunate reality in previous eras, today we can get much better information from researchers and practitioners.

I don't think that's actually true. It's probably most true with science reporting, but does anyone think reading the firehose of specialist research output is a practical alternative to journalism for a general reader? Filtering and summarization are important functions when dealing quantities of information larger than an individual can handle alone. IIRC, even specialist research groups have paper reading circles to filter research papers in their own fields.

Then there's everything else. For a lot of stuff, you'd just be wading through PR and rumor without much ability to dig past that. For some news topics, like foreign affairs for instance, I'm not even sure where you'd even find timely, raw information to replace journalism about it.
If they can't put these everywhere they should at least target the minority's in our country who are most susceptible; specifically, people over the age of 75.

It is all mind games. I feel like you are leaning on a negative association to the phrase rather than making an argument. If you say "I don't feel like I want to do a thing, but doing that thing will minimise anxiety and depression in the long run, therefore I do want to do the thing" that is definitely a mind game. It is also a good way to be happier and more satisfied in life.

Not to mention the logical discontinuity in “I left because I was comfortable” - I’d expect one to stay if they were comfortable. I would expect them to leave if they were not comfortable. But regardless of my expectations, I certainly could have been wrong.

According to several other comments of theirs, discomfort drove them out. So I didn’t believe I was incorrect. It’s been awhile since I commented, so I hadn’t even noticed any downvotes.
Icons look pretty good, always grateful for free stuff like this.

Minor side: the first thing I typed into the filter box was "save" because I wanted to see how the designer thought about the whole "floppy disk == save" problem in a greenfield icon set. I thought it was even more remarkable (or just notable, I guess) that there's no Save icon at all, which really speaks to where the world is at around cloud-based web apps.

Why require someone to click Save at all, right?

Sounds to me like they are now open to the idea, that way more people use some standard that they can have input on, and then they can capture the customers that don't want to try and reinvent the wheel.

This looks great to me, often I work on projects with closed systems, they aren't allowed to ship the telemetry outside their own network, so none of the SaaS solutions will work. However I work on other projects that I can use SaaS, but I'm not going to do the work to have two solutions depending on the environment.
I have medium length hair, not at my shoulders but over my ears. My routine is to shower as normal (a couple times a week, or as needed) and always scrub and rinse my hair as if I were using shampoo but just without. I like to massage/scratch my scalp with my fingers before getting in the shower, I think this cleans better than doing it wet. I also think brushing or combing helps it look nice.

Before the switch I felt shampoo immediately left my hair too dry, then after a few days it would be too oily. I tried other remedies that all worked to some degree: wash with cold water, use conditioner, only shampoo at your scalp, use less shampoo and don't let it sit very long. Using less shampoo and using it less frequently had the best results and I just continued that way until I wasn't shampooing at all.

I find certificates help when the person hiring you does not know enough about the topic. As such they use your certificate as a crutch to confirm you know something about the topic. It will also be used by recruiters to sell you, once again to people who do not understand the tech enough to properly evaluate you.

A certification might also get your resume past HR and to the hiring manager.

So many great points. I'm very happy to hear that someone is thinking of the UX. I only wished they worked on Siri.

The only addition I can think of is during the wake word section. I'd like to remove the wake word requirement if I'm in the middle of an interaction.

For example, sending a text on Siri.

"Hey Siri text my wife. Tell her I'm on my way"

Siri shows me the text and then I have to again say "Hey Siri send it" when just "Send it" should do.

I suggest you educate yourself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_disease

"Airborne transmission is distinct from transmission by respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets are large enough to fall to the ground rapidly after being produced (usually greater than 5 μm), as opposed to the smaller particles that carry airborne pathogens. Also, while respiratory droplets consist mostly of water, AIRBORNE PARTICLES ARE RELATIVELY DRY, which damages many pathogens so that their ability to transmit infection is lessened or eliminated."

Here, I capitalized it for you so you don't miss it.

Airborne virus is what happens after fine respiratory mist dries out, which happens quite quickly. It is "relatively" dry because some of the respiratory fluid is hygroscopic. Don't make a mistake, there is no free flowing liquid with virus happily swimming in it.

Yes like the recommended approach with teenagers isn't to say "don't do drugs because I say so", but "drug sellers are trying to manipulate you into giving them money by making you addicted".

Before prescribing remedial education, perhaps you could consider the root word of "capitalism" a bit more carefully? "Capital" has its own interests, but those don't include free markets, which latter I hope we can agree is more important for the innovation upon which humanity relies. Properly understood, all "capitalism" is eventually revealed as what you're calling "crony capitalism". Temporarily the owners of capital and their sockpuppets might have to pretend to value free markets. Unless the local political or ethical system is quite incorruptible, capitalists' true colors are eventually seen. After all, they have the money, by definition. Many people will do unethical things (e.g. write tax codes under which corporations pay no taxes) in exchange for money.
History has shown that a sizable chunk of those promises were either lies, or unrealistic. Many who refuse to marry do so out of an acknowledgement of how effed up the marriages they have seen are. People who are truly untrustworthy are just as likely to lie about their level of commitment to a relationship anyway.
>Even stores like Costco and all factories would have to shut down.

That would kill a lot of people too. It's not obvious to me which would be worse, particularly in the face of such a low IFR.

Overall it went really well. I'd say 50% - 60% of my interviews followed the standard whiteboard style questions combined with some type of take home exam.

I interviewed with over 50 companies, reached onsites at about 30, rejected 10 myself, and was rejected by 10. I ended up with about 18 offers.

I'd say the curriculum and program helped, but ultimately so much of interviewing goes into how the interviewer is feeling at the moment. You can write the best, most well tested code or most optimal solution for an algorithm question, but if the interviewer just doesn't like you, you're hosed.

Overall I'm happy with the outcome of this process, and would probably engage in something similar if going through the interview process again.

One of the dangers of getting old is that it's essentially a trope that your sense of a fair price often lags behind increasing costs.

The constant pressure toward replacing manufactured goods (food included) with cheaper alternatives isn't just about increasing margins, it's also about sticker shock ratcheting up among your customers.

I don't know about recently, but tech salaries were growing much faster than inflation for a long time. I suspect that in some cases those consultancy negotiators were sitting in meetings with customers who didn't understand why they had to pay 25% more to renew a largely unmodified contract. and/or why the senior people are being replaced. Because you can't afford those people anymore, pal.

So for the same dollar you are probably getting more COTS/OSS software and talent that is easier to exploit (young, H1-B, or both). I hesitate to think what happens in 2030 when whole teams are already the most vulnerable developers and it's time to renegotiate contracts again.

So in the hypothetical world, stealing cars is acceptable because it's legal and legal because it's acceptable? Do you see the problem with that?

The first step in breaking the cycle is forming public opinions that differ from the law. I chose "stealing cars" as an example because it's easy to judge independently from the law and therefore illustrate why the "it's OK because it's legal" line of thinking creates a problematic loop that makes it difficult to fix bad policy.
Trying your example starts an interaction with Siri for me. Siri verifies the message content, asks if I’m ready to send it, and listens for my reply.

Using AirPods Pro is supposed to allow somewhat reduced vocal utterances to Siri, but I haven’t spent time learning that.

About your last paragraph: the RAM used in GPUs has pretty good latency when compared to that used in typical CPU applications, it's just that between that RAM and a CPU there are multiple layers of caching to make it appear as though the RAM is faster than it really is. CPUs that max out their caches crawl to a halt whereas GPUs crunching on datasets that are carefully laid out to maximize RAM bandwidth can process vast amounts of data, much more than a CPU if it had the equivalent workload.

Giving a GPU a single threaded workload would be like having a sausage factory start up to make a single sausage, it's inappropriate use of the tool, which will always give poor results.
"However, it seems COVID has an above average ability to survive in extremely fine droplets - think mist-sized particles that CAN float in the air for an extended period of time (given the right circumstances)."

This is one of those "facts" that is often repeated, but which has little actual evidence if you bother to look for it. The WHO has been consistent that aerosol transmission of the virus is a theory with little backing evidence:

Some outbreak reports related to indoor crowded spaces have suggested the possibility of aerosol transmission, combined with droplet transmission, for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes. In these events, short-range aerosol transmission, particularly in specific indoor locations, such as crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces over a prolonged period of time with infected persons cannot be ruled out. However, the detailed investigations of these clusters suggest that droplet and [transmission from contaminated surfaces or objects] could also explain human-to-human transmission within these clusters."

"Current evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted between people via respiratory droplets and contact routes – although aerosolization in medical settings where aerosol generating procedures are used is also another possible mode of transmission"

I feel like you'd lose most of the advantage of a voice interface if you had to learn a new (and presumably difficult) high-bandwidth vocal signal language. It might still be useful for some niche scenarios where it's very important to have your hands free or to operate over an audio channel, but the real notable advantage of a voice interface is that most humans already use speech as their primary method of communication with other humans.

More important would be fixing the messaging on masks and protection. (Most laymen aren't going to distinguish between droplet, aerosol, airborne, etc. and won't adjust behavior and risk profiles accordingly.)

The CDC told people that masks were not important at the start of the pandemic, largely as a means of reserving stock for doctors and first responders. They then performed an uneven and awkwardly stilted 180 on that message. This massively backfired and led to wide scale public distrust of the public health apparatus. The birth of the anti-mask movement, etc.

We'll be living with the ramifications for a long time.

You shouldn't lie to the public.
