I think that fresh out of uni people feel like being a prima donna algorithmic wizard is the expectation so they play towards that sterotype. When you're looking at hiring more senior people they have usually accumulated the confidence to highlight how dev teams they've been a part of have worked together to overcome issues together without telling a personal glory story - those folks are worth their weight in gold.

Honestly, if someone walks into an interview talking about how they did something awesome to support a co-worker while they were struggling that's about the best anecdote I could hope to hear.

Maybe it's because Google has very little data on me, but I find Google to be horrible in 2020. It's degraded considerably over the years to the point that I don't even try Google if DDG doesn't return anything useful. It's especially useless if I'm trying to buy something. If I search for a service business using my hometown, it'll return results from businesses everywhere other than my hometown.
I interviewed for an internship as a quantitative researcher at Jane Street in college, and I can confirm it was the most technically difficult interview I went through -- certainly more difficult than Google.

> important that we all take a second to realize that surveillance can be a reasonable apparatus of a well maintained democracy

No, I don't think we should just "realize" that. By all means, let's have a discussion; but to accept a priori that some form of surveillance is acceptable reeks of an outlook that has already given up. We should not be fearful and dependent, but rather willing to accept danger as the price of no one looking over our shoulders.

>we should go to every e-commerce site that employs them, with full crap-blocking privacy mode on, load up on products/services, and then abandon our carts at the captcha.

I've been doing that for years [well, not the shopping trolley bit] on websites which throw fullscreen modal announcements in my face. The second it happens, I click off that website. I dream that the webmasters in question will have some advanced stats setup that tells them that, as soon as they digitally shat in my face I abandoned their sites. But, unfortunately I know it's an empty gesture.

If it’s in a (United) State with “employment at will” then they can rescind any time, or fire you in the first nanosecond of employment for that matter. Unless you have a signed contract that says otherwise, of course.
Typically without an abstraction like HyScale, for a micro-service you might end up having to write / maintain a couple of hundred lines of K8s yaml including things like sidecars, ingress, PVCs, config-maps, etc. and linking up these yamls with the right selector-labels, etc.

Whereas the same service can be described in hyscale spec using a few dozen lines. But it's not just about the number of lines, the HyScale hspec is defined in terms of higher-level app-centric entities that are intuitive to most developers.

You also get simpler troubleshooting of deployment errors and worry less about having to maintain compatibility of your K8s manifest yamls with each new K8s version.
>It's why official builds will generally be faster than compiling from scratch yourself.

Would it be possible for Google to publish the profile data along with the source code to enable those who compile from scratch to have these same optimizations?

Firefox has been constantly crashing for the past 6 months or so on all of my computers (Linux, Windows, and now a new Mac as well - but mostly linux, probably because I use it most). Usually it's just a bunch of tabs that crash (almost always multiple tabs), but about 2-3 times a week the entire browser crashes. It's getting to the point where I don't want to use ff anymore :/
One of those checks and balances is the legal prohibition against operating domestically. These ongoing conspiracies demonstrate that spy agencies have effectively escaped democratic oversight.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Every paper has named authors listed next to it. And it explicitly states which ones have been peer-reviewed and which haven't (most, but not all, have been).

There is a value in rehashing previous conversations. Imagine if you were at a cafe, having an intellectual conversation with your friend while a GPT-12 butler listened. Every time you rehash a conversation that someone else had, GPT-12 butler interrupts and says "excuuuuse me sir, some permutation of this conversation has happened 2000 times on the internet. I will replay the top 3 of those. Please listen carefully, then proceed to tread new ground." I think that GPT-12 butler would be very annoying.

You might think that I'm making a strawman argument, because I'm certain you wouldn't like the interrupting GPT-12 butler either. However, the UX you proposed would sometimes feel just as constraining.

Participating in arguments, even if they aren't novel, is a cognitively enriching experience. Reading but not participating in those very same arguments, while enriching in its own way, is not a complete replacement. Furthermore, I feel that in order to argue at higher levels of abstraction (which new fields are biased towards), you should first participate in discourse at every preceding level of abstraction. Reddit and HN allow for that. They're not perfect, but I don't think that enforced meta-threads would be an improvement.

All that being said, I think that your "bonus" idea of hyperlinking discussion to relevant excerpts in the article, inline, can be singularly transformative.

> ZFS-on-Linux was always behind BSD ZFS until recently.

FreeBSD was never really working on ZFS in a way ZOL was. Whole reason for the switch is because main contributor upstream used by FreeBSD stopped using ZFS.

ZOL had more features for a while now as well.

One of my favorite investing books (wait for it, it ties in!) is The Dao of Capital [0] which is all about contrarian investing. Great read on investing and for the philosophical perspective as well. In the book Mark Spitznagel (investment manager for Nassib Taleb's black swan inspired hedge fund, Universa Investments) has an entire chapter on how conifer trees take advantage of fire-cleared forrest floors to propagate at a higher rate. Fire clears faster growing endosperm trees which tend to dominate slower growing conifers (cone droppers) in the early stages of growth. The fire cleaning allows conifers to productively seed the forest floor and get growing with less competition in their early years. In fact some cones actually use fire as a signal to drop and open to release their seeds. Fascinating. Very eloquent writing, IMO.

Rosetta is a compatibility stopgap, not a whole new CPU. Apple making a new chip with the x86/x64 instruction set and not supporting any modern SIMD features would be pointless. I’ve seen AVX2 code that performs nearly 8x faster than scalar code on the same CPU.

Besides, where did you hear that Rosetta wont have to at least support SSE4? I think there are Mac apps that assume presence of these instructions since all of Apples macs since 2008 or so has had them.
I suppose it depends on one's perspective.

If one is of the perspective that antiques must be carefully preserved at all costs, then owning them might be stressful, especially with young children around.

Personally I think that antiques (and antique furniture in particular) are meant to be lived with. Damage is part of their history, and can almost always be repaired and restored. Sometimes the repair won't be perfect, but that's part of the history for the next owner too. I kind of like that.
Fear is a good reaction to limited information!

If COVID19 has a 15% chance of leading to a million people on long-term disability, that justifies a lot of precautions. You can phrase that as a mathematical equation, where you sum up the outcomes, average, and get an expected value, or as an emotion. In this case, the outcome is the same.

Ditto for climate change. I agree the worst-case is unlikely, and people get ahead by presenting the worst-case, but "unlikely" means 10%, not 0%. In the grand scheme of things, switching to sustainable technologies isn't too expensive.

And things with 15% odds will fall flat 5 times out of 6.

I think the bigger problem we have is an inability to move. We should have dealt with COVID19 when it first appeared. We should be doing a lot more to deal with climate change. And so on. Problem-solving is the best way to mitigate fear.
I was originally looking for something allowing me to make a power supply for my USB-C only laptop to build a (large and cheap) power bank from some 18650 cells I had lying around.

I understand that communication with the voltage converter would likely be so complicated they should be integrated with each other, then integrating all the other battery management stuff wouldn't be so far either.

Admittedly it has been a few years ago, but the last time I looked nothing like this was available.

IIRC, that "optimization" mostly avoids wasting time compiling a complex `Clone` implementation, when simply returning `*self` suffices (there are some crates with at lot of `#[derive(Copy, Clone)]` types). We try to avoid having a lot of logic like that too early, for precisely the reasons you mention.

I'd be interested in an example where LLVM can't optimize the general version, as it means we might want to do this through MIR shims instead (which can be generated when collecting the monomorphic instances to codegen - this is what happens when you clone a tuple or closure, for example).

I find that the difference between how I make decisions and how people I consider smart make decisions is a difference of first order and second order thinking. In many ways I got lucky. I chose the computer science major and happened to love it, I became a software engineer and happened to love it. I did not think very deeply about these decisions. It's ironic because my job is to think about the control flow of methods, and the potential consequences that could arise from some current design.

I am trying very hard to integrate second order thinking into my decision making process.
> This is only as true as saying that any personal attempt to minimize your carbon footprint is self-harm. But here, it has other implications as well: society needs to "agree" that Bitcoin has value. If Bitcoin starts (rightfully, IMHO) being seen as a "dirty" good, it becomes less desirable on the market even if I, personally, were indifferent to the carbon footprint.

"Society" is a mythical entity. Not everyone needs to agree. It only needs the people who use it to agree, and the rest will follow. Even if you don't agree about the carbon footprint, there is nothing you can do to stop it. It's pointless worrying yourself over something that is absolutely out of your control, and will never be under your control, no matter how much as you crave the power to control other people's behavior.

> What volume of transactions is it doing? (This isn't rhetorical, I genuinely haven't been able to find this out and I'm curious)

Nobody knows because it is not known. Transactions are private, and individual nodes in the network are dumb routers who know naught of the transactions they forward. No nodes know about the volume because they have incomplete information. This is by design.

> Yep, I remember those days. The difference was, that perception was mostly wrong at the time. The community was filled with people who genuinely wanted to make Bitcoin happen. Sure it would make them rich in the process, but at least they were willing to put in the work.

Not sure about your version of events here. Early on there were plenty of people discussing their gains and selling off bitcoin, which is what caused a lot of the early publicity in 2010 and 2011. If it had merely been a cryptographer's toy then it would probably never have left the mailing lists. The finance guys were some of the first people in Bitcoin and were not at all concerned with the fundamentals, only making a quick profit.

Those same people sidelined Bitcoin to focus on shitcoins and ICOs because they were no longer able to make a quick killing from Bitcoin. Bitcoin became expensive, and the profit margins for trading it were shrinking. ICOs and other scams were just the continuation for these guys, who don't care about economics or technology, or have any second thoughts about literally scamming people out of hard earned money.

Probably more like 14-20 day window and much greater than 2x incidence as loads of people show little or no symptoms.

Once the expected value starts to creep over 1, then that's enough to infect quite a lot of people. It's not too much past that to expect that one of the infected has 'underlying condition' and risking death.

In British Coloumbia there's been a big outbreak due to a single gathering in the interior, notably (shamefully) attended by Medics and Doctors.

It's a little risky.

It's just not the time to have major gatherings, but at least this one is in the service of the science of 'stopping it' - which is better than most places are doing.

> The features I've outlined don't make NBL a great language. I think a truly great language would support Erlang-style concurrency, would have a simpler syntax and a powerful macro system, and would probably have much better support for high-level declarative constructs, e.g. path expressions, structural dispatch (e.g. OCaml's match ... with statement) and query minilanguages. Among other things.

Elixir hits this pretty well.

Simple syntax ... Check

Erlang-style concurrency ... Double Check (has _exactly_ Erlang style concurrency)

Powerful macro system ... Check, steals Lisp's amazing macro system verbatim

high-level declarative constructs ... Check, Pattern matching, `case do` `with ...`
Me too. Although it's worth noting that just buying a Kobo and using the associated store doesn't save you from this kind of thing in principle. While the books are formatted using epub, they're encrypted using Adobe's DRM system, meaning you need an account with Adobe which can be similarly revoked. Unless you're only ever reading books in the public domain, it's very hard to protect yourself from this nonsense without breaking the law in some way.
Worst compared with what?

I mainly use Acrobat Pro, but I find myself opening my PDFs in Firefox more and more. Acrobat is really slooooooow, it takes ages for a cold start, and after it started the whole thing gets locked up for a minute or so. Absolutely infuriating. PDF.js/Firefox instead is just a smooth ride for me...
Nassim Taleb has been saying this forever, he first talked about it in at least Antifragile IIRC.
I think it’s because getting to a point where your error bound is that small with nature is incredibly difficult. GANs are a breakthrough but there are still lots of drawbacks and “tells” that allow you to identify a fake distribution. I actually don’t think we’ll get there for a really long time, and for all we know it might actually be impossible to replicate a natural distribution without gathering some untenable amount of data. Even if you gather that amount of data you often have no idea how correct your model actually is because you don’t have access to the natural distribution. You have to have a prior and picking that prior is a research area in and of itself. That’s why people say that. Your premise is really hard.

EDIT: just thought of something else, for videos and pictures increasing the resolution dramatically will make it harder to generate deep fakes, it might be interesting to see how much better cameras get and I’m sure that the amount of compute to fake a higher resolution image will be drastically higher. There are a lot of factors at play.

Literally the sentence after the one you quoted contradicts clarifies, though:

>> On the other hand, at admission, patients in the HCQ group appeared to be sicker as reflected by the higher frequency of radiological pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, ICU transfer within the 24h after admission and invasive ventilation support as well as the higher frequency of elevated LDH and CRP levels.

Currently, AFAIK, the dedup table (DDT) has to reside entirely in RAM. The L2ARC is a disk-based cache of filesystem blocks (a pretty clever design, worth reading up on), but a very different thing from the DDT.

You could definitely put the L2ARC on Optane, but Optane is probably better suited to the ZIL (ZFS Intent Log, basically the journal so writes can be quickly acked) if you aren't using literal NVRAM.

Breaking the DDT out so it could exist on a Optane isn't currently available (again, AFAIK, but I recall hearing about some changes in that department, I don't recall specifics and may be misremembering).

I've basically never had a machine big enough to comfortably use dedup except on trivial loads. My backup boxes, where I'd really like to use it, have all fallen over when enabling dedup because of the RAM requirements.
