One more odd thing is how fast we forget. There were no articles after-the-fact even indicating the fire was over, or how things were going. I searched major web sites like NY Times. Things were burning like crazy, and then reporting stopped.

Is it over? Is it contained? Are San Francisco, Mountain View, and Stanford just gone? Reading the newspapers, you just don't know.

I'd like to have a retrospective. How much damage was there? What's gone? What's still there? Etc.
“Hasn't that problem mostly been solved already with switch mode power supplies that are pretty small“

It would still be useful to make them even smaller. For example, it’s often not possible to use all sockets in a power strip because of the size of power converters. Also, such smaller converters typically are a bit of a hassle to toss into a bag because of their somewhat awkward shape (especially if all other things in the bag are pencil-shoes or flat slates (laptop, tablet, notebook)

A transformer that fits inside an AC power plug would solve both problems.

I think that, _if_ we could build that, most people would start calling the current tiny converters bulky.
Heh, I'm not that clever.

It's complicated, but assuming that the ATO thought you were a resident for taxation purposes, then yes you still lodge a tax return in Australia, claim the tax paid in Switzerland as a credit (assuming it's recognised) and pay whatever gap there is.

It's made more difficult because tax years don't align, so it needs to be worked out that way too. Oh, and because Switzerland probably put their tax records in Swiss-Fench/Swiss-German all your documents would need to be formally translated.

I'd start by checking put the ATO site they had a bunch of tests for your residency there.

And this is part of why I refuse to be forced to upgrade to Catalina.

So, when I buy “new” hardware, I will make sure that it is compatible with Mojave.

Which means it won’t actually be new....

Something’s wrong when the best hardware you can buy from a manufacturer is from the versions they’re not making any more.
They are the same people :)

A lot of it is just them not really interviewing much so they Google how to interview developers and think about questions they were asked.

The accessibility API is one thing that I really miss since mostly leaving macOS for Linux. Most apps support it in at least a rudimentary way, and it allows for a bunch of neat tricks.
That’s because GDP is very tied to population growth, which essentially stoped in Japan and the EU. It still happens in the US due to immigration, but once that stops, then we will stall out as well.
The problem is not copying internal states, the problem is I/O. A given instance of a quantum computation can only be queried once before it decoheres and goes "poof" because the querying process itself decoheres the system. So a quantum computer can never pass the Turing test because it cannot even participate in the Turing test without destroying itself.
The author doesn't mention application updates, which can be important.

Shared application scenarios can bring headaches when different customers want different application behavior implemented in upgrades.
This mostly rings hollow based on my experience as a diner and chef. The menu graphics especially; I read boxes last if at all, the most expensive item at every place I've worked sells quite well, unusual ingredients and dishes don't sell well, and why on Earth would I read the right side of a folding menu first?

Nearly all of the JavaScript on my page comes from two third-party loads: ga.js and gpt.js. As I describe in the post, bundling wouldn't work well for including third-party resources (for the same reasons that it is uncommon for sites to proxy third-party resources onto their own domains today).

Specifically in the case of first party JavaScript, however, you are right. A site might decide to serve all of its first party resources in a bundle, and people who don't run JS would end up downloading some extra bytes.

This is a situation we commonly have already, however, when there is HTML or CSS that is only ever used when activated by JavaScript. I do think you're right that this would mean people in your position would end up downloading slightly more useless bytes, but not by a large fraction?

US citizens can lower their effective tax rates by moving abroad, but it's complicated. Expats can take advantage of the foreign earned income exclusion that you alluded to and are not subject to state taxes. The savings can be quite large - email me for more details.

FACTA is burdensome if you have foreign bank accounts. You can avoid having foreign bank accounts to sidestep those rules.
One answer you probably won't be happy with: You don't need to memorize lots and lots of command line options. I can never remember the ones for tar, for example.

Bookmarking directories (local and remote), although there are command line ways to do this.

Being able to quickly view the contents of multiple files (that don't have a simple pattern in the filename). Frankly, any operation you want to do on multiple files that don't have a convenient regex to specify on one command. Say you have a directory of 100 files, and you want to copy about 15 of them elsewhere. It's just a lot easier in midnight commander to select them than to type out all their names.

And then there's stuff like selecting all files that have certain permissions, etc. No doubt you can do this from the command line, but again: Convenient when you don't know how.

Bulk renaming of files - again: I don't remember how to do this on the command line, and it's dangerous if I screwup.

Easily navigate any compressed files and copy stuff into/out of it.

If you like to read outside in the sun, then an iPad is not an option. This is where eInk shines, in my opinion. I have a Kindle and it’s so enjoyable to read on in full sunlight. Exactly the opposite of an iPad (or any light-emitting display for that matter).
even countries with lots of publicly funded services usually exclude tourists. For example, a visitor to Canada would either not be allowed to take advantage of many services (ex: Employmnet Insurance / Welfare) or get billed (Healthcare) although it would be unlikely to be refused service in the later if you could not pay. In countries like Barbados the divide between citizens and visitors is even more stark. Deportation from these countries is usually easy and fast to countries that have resources (like the US or Canada); it's deporting from western countries back to poorer or "democratically challenged" countries that is hard and takes forever. Anyone who wants to turn to crime would be better served to stay at home and do it (I'd rather deal with the Canadian criminal system as a citizen than Barbados as a foreigner).
Obviously I'm not laying out a formal aesthetic argument and most people today feel that aesthetics are not objective, making an objective argument inherently impossible. That's a long conversation.

Amusingly, in architecture, the gate keeping is done mainly by modernists (high or post) and it is difficult to even learn traditional architecture outside of a few departments. Christopher Alexander, for example, was mostly ignored and scorned by the architectural establishment, and was picked up by software developers who were working in a new medium.

It is already a two-way street in that as a candidate you chose the company, and expect specific things from them. If they don’t deliver on that part you will walk away.

To me parent’s point is that any company acting as if you’d unconditionally accept their offer if they made one is a recipe for failure.

That depends on the country. Some (I imagine most?) countries have deals with each other when it comes to taxation, to avoid double taxation.

So if you're earning a salary in, say, Israel, then you only have to pay US taxes on money that hasn't already been income-taxed in Israel. Therefore, whether you're paying more taxes than locals depends on whether the tax rate in the country is higher or lower than in the US. If it's higher, then you end up not having to pay anything extra.

That said, these things get tricky and there are lots of individual wrinkles. E.g. freelancers typically have to pay taxes either way here, afaik. Then again, those taxes aren't doing nothing - they're paying for you to have a US social safety net of some sort.
> Pick something you've never done before, and do that.

You run out of those things shortly after birth. The vast majority of the aspects of everything that you attempt are familiar, and you have already developed habitual approaches to them. Having "never done something before" is shorthand for some experience having some aspect that you have never experienced before, not complete novelty. I'm going to build the strategies of flying a spaceship on the strategies I built learning to drive a car, which were built on the strategies I built learning to walk, which were built on the strategies I built learning to crawl, to manipulate my parents by crying, to identify distinct objects using my eyes, etc...

Eventually, the actually novel part of any new experience becomes vanishingly small. If anything, the ability to enjoy novelty, or to even see things as novel, is increased with our ability to forget. Maybe for a society, the ability to innovate relies on the ability to leave behind a bunch of brains whose plasticity has long been lost due to a lack of mental exercise.
Found the discrepancy. I use single precision in PyTorch. When I benchmark sgemm, the SSE code path is selected.

Conclusion: MKL detects Zen now, but currently only implements a Zen code path for dgemm and not for sgemm. To get good performance for sgemm, you have to fake being an Intel CPU.

I work for a FAANG company. The interviews were quite stressful, and my goal for every question was to push through and at the very least make some progress instead of giving up.

I don't make use of any of the algorithmic skills I was interviewed on, but I do have to push through stressful situations regularly and make progress in a timely fashion. I do think that if I weren't able to do that during an interview situation, I wouldn't have been able to do that on the job.

Maybe I wouldn't have any stress in my current position if I were 10x smarter or 10x more experienced/knowledgable, but that would also indicate that I were underleveled.

I'm certain there are many smart and skilled individuals that wouldn't be able to consistently make it past a tech interview loop unless they put in lots of "unnecessary" extra work.
I don't think you would pay tax in this scenario, as essentially this is just a longer-term tourist visa. You won't be allowed to get a job locally and are expected to work remote. There's no way they could track (and tax) this; it's really no different than doing some work on your 2-week Mexico vacation.
Also Americans pay tax based on citizenship too.

> The simplest way to do this is to use Docker with a base image that mimics the target system, and performs all necessary steps in one go.

Or better yet, run all your code in docker containers so you can run arbitrary slices of your production environment on your local machine.

You’ll eventually hit some host-OS network issue where you need to inspect the machine that’s running your containers, but for artifacts/RPMs as described in this doc you should be able to do everything locally.
Sure thing.

"Micro-batteries
Nuclear engineers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison have explored the possibilities of producing minuscule batteries which exploit radioactive nuclei of substances such as polonium or curium to produce electric energy. As an example of an integrated, self-powered application, the researchers have created an oscillating cantilever beam that is capable of consistent, periodic oscillations over very long time periods without the need for refueling. Ongoing work demonstrate that this cantilever is capable of radio frequency transmission, allowing MEMS devices to communicate with one another wirelessly.

These micro-batteries are very light and deliver enough energy to function as power supply for use in MEMS devices and further for supply for nanodevices.[12]

The radiation energy released is transformed into electric energy, which is restricted to the area of the device that contains the processor and the micro-battery that supplies it with energy."

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

I am skeptical but there is great potential in this.
"To split them in such a way that different nation-state actors will each encounter significant expense is pretty brilliant."

That's where the concerns start. There's no data about which services are compromised by which entities, no effective threat model, no dissection about the expected capabilities of the attackers. No recommendations for through where to pass the shares. It's not at all clear why'd they recommend WeChat that's not E2EE at all. It's also expanding the TCB by encouraging installation of insecure apps (like WeChat). It's also relying on the assumption it's always the case at least one channel isn't compromised, which is really weird, it would be much better to do airgap-to-airgap public key encryption instead, at least on the inside. That way the networked endpoint(s) receiving the shares is not the weak point of the system. Finally, as was mentioned, the app will leak metadata about the communication to every service used to deliver the shares.

"In the crypto world, the canonical device would be a formatted flashed older phone that you never turn on data for"

Well that assumes the Baseband processor does not talk to cell towers. Airgapping a mobile device isn't very easy so a cheap netbook might do better. Or, a more modern phone like Librem with mechanical kill switches for cell/wifi would be much better.

The problem is also, is the QR-code safe, what if you unknowingly scan an exploit that then exfiltrates data off the airgapped device inside the next QR-code containing a share.

It's a nice thought experiment but there's simply not enough benefits to beat the problems, and at most I can see this increase the attacker's cost slightly, instead of automated remote exploitation of single device, they now need to exploit a few devices receiving shares over (possibly E2EE) apps.
I believe it's not just TSMC. I saw a presentation from one of the ARM architects a couple years back where she said that 28nm would likely stay the most economic node for quite some time to come, as the nodes below that have increasingly expensive mask costs due to multi patterning, or get into very exotic light sources.

Just because evolution is accidental doesn't mean there's no structure behind it (emergent intelligence). Because in this environment they are successful it means there is random genetic changes that give these same traits.

How does this explain different phenotypes in grouped populations? Let's say for instance that a species of ant is known to be more aggressive, why it was that way is probably generic drift. Why it stays that way is because of its environment, and it is selected for.

He asked why the environment is like that they rewards this behavior, some serial killers get screwed up in childhood. Did they all have dark personalities before?
Well, at least there is potential to detect future bugs or implants with geiger counters :)
You're exactly right.

I'd like to add on that everyone's retirement plans are held hostage by the same four groups that you were talking about. The 401(k) and IRA were both introduced in the 1970s, and now colossal amounts of money flow into those accounts, ensuring the financial future of Americans. They are low-risk investment plans for the future. Why are they low-risk? Because they invest in the "entire market" via mutual funds, and as we all know the market always goes up. Loosely- give your money to the banks, and they'll make sure the valuation of the companies that make up the index funds will always increase, thus giving you your year-on-year +10%, or whatever.

The corollary, of course, is that if you support any societal changes that would threaten the valuation of "the market", you'll tank everyone's investment accounts. Good luck reversing outsourcing trends, enacting progressive labor laws, or lowering the price of healthcare.

I don't even want to call it "investing" at this point. It's speculating. That's why I plan to buy land and live off of it as much as I can. I'd rather be poor and independent than rich and dependent.
Most of the discussion so far seems to be that there's no way to get sufficient energy density to power electric vehicles. But what they say is it provides "28,000 years of battery life for cell phones, aircraft, rockets, electric vehicles, sensors and other devices and machinery". I'm starting to wonder if they're just being a bit disingenuous rather than flat-out lying - could they mean the lower-power circuits of electric vehicles, rather than the motors turning the wheels?

It depends on what kind of yellow. Dark yellow can look tan or even pinkish. Light yellow is white. I can't see yellow highlighter at all unless the light is making it glow - then it just looks shinier than the surroundings. Light blue is generally cyan, and otherwise it is pretty much black. I actually quite like "lego blue" or "versace blue" because they look so extremely different between each eye.

The colour that surprises people most is that blue and green both look the same, and by "same" I mean they both look like cyan - pretty much an entirely different colour. At night time, the blue light on the buses and the green traffic lights are exactly the same colour of cyan to my left eye. They're the normal blue and green to my right eye.

Only some colours "agree" between both eyes. For example, the HN logo is very close to the same colour. Only I can tell it is orange with the right eye. It looks simply darker (and therefore browner) with the left. And red looks like red. That one we can pretty much all agree on.
The meme arose out of the reality that a vast majority of wealth/power has accumulated to the boomers. When they give advice, it is to be taken with a grain of salt, because their life assumptions will be vastly different (and wrong) for the current context of the youth (who are poor, on average).
