I didn't until you linked to it, but having read it it still does appear that comparing single thread to single thread is not very accurate. Neither would core to core considering single thread does hold some weight compared to real world workloads.

I guess at the very least CPU benchmarking software should have a "thread to thread" benchmarker alongside a "core to core" benchmarker, or something along those lines.

That would be in the spirit of having benchmarks indicate real world usage
"It's December" is also a fact. He chose to mention a different one. Why, if not as an explanation / excuse for the model's behaviour?

Every practitioner already knows that these models behave according to the data they are trained on. The general public has no use for this explanation because they aren't the one deciding on the training data. So the only practical purpose is to offer some superficial causal mechanism that sounds like an explanation to that public, presented as an unchanging fact of nature, and distract from the equally true fact a biased model is only published or used iff it is trained on biased data and someone decides to go ahead and publish/use it nonetheless.

joe - Joe's Own Editor

Keystrokes are like WordStar and Borland Turbo Pascal. Instead of the hidden cut-and-paste or copy-and-paste buffer, it gets highlighted where it stands, right there in the document. You don't need Esc, Alt, Meta, arrow keys (supported though), or any function keys.

I do think performance is really important. Slow performance changes the way you work. With a slow editor, you have to find ways to keep it running, because the bad performance is a punishment and distraction if you restart. With a fast editor I can kill and restart it just to check some minor thing on the command line.

For collaboration tools, IRC still works fine. For an overall desktop experience, XFCE is the fastest I've found that isn't bare-bones.
Oh cool! Was it also a mask detector, and if so did you find a pre-trained model for it?

Every once in awhile I load up the Dillo web browser[1], an extremely basic browser with minimal CSS support and no javascript support. I am always floored by how fast some websites are, and saddened as the list of websites I can realistically visit shrinks each time I try it. (Hacker news works great). It is so fast compared to modern browsers that it almost feels like a page is loaded and rendered before I even finish clicking the mouse button.

> Is this explicitly different that animals that are trained to help with say PTSD?

Yes. As you say those are service animals, meaning they are trained to actively help e.g. a service animal could be trained to detect acute distress and actively insert themselves into the situation. An ESA is just support.

> I also mentioned in another comment below that my general interaction with ESAs is people using it as a loophole to take their pets places and causing issues for people with service animals.

I completely agree that this is a huge issue. Although people will also misrepresent service animals as most states have no sanctions about that (it's rarer because there are usually expectations about service animals, and the available "range" is extremely limited e.g. a cat or a cockatoo can not be a service animal).
A lot of CE degrees are EE with just the barest veneer of software to meet ABET requirements.

Mine had data structures and software engineering as CE-specific requirements (along with a dash of microarchitecture and HDL/FPGA stuff), the CS algorithms course was an elective that obviously gave priority to CS majors.

Beyond that, we had a department head that really only cared about shoving as many EEs as possible into the PG&E hiring pipeline.

It's absurd because I'm working in that room for between 6-12 hours during the work week (sometimes on weekends when needed), but also used it for a "den" during nights/weekends when I wanted to watch a movie/play a video game as well. This is incredibly common for home offices.
Absolutely! There's a kind of beautiful freedom about it, too.

A number of people (myself included) seek to align work and passion all in one, which is fine, except it's certainly not the only (or, indeed, even close to "best") way to live and work. I've been lucky because my passion is in a field that now actually has applications in both theory and practice, after 50-or-so years of lying in relative academic obscurity.

The point is: if you care primarily about things that aren't your work (and this is true for literally 99.9% of people in the world, and is probably much healthier than the alternative) then FAANG is phenomenal in every possible way. The perks, compensation, and freedom to do pretty much anything are incredible. Quant (which nets around the same, if not slightly more profit) certainly does not fall in this category, due to its insane hours, and most other jobs with sane hours and good work-life balance don't pay nearly (read: really even close to) as much, or aren't as secure, or have anywhere close to the perks. It really is about the best gig you can get, if you can swing it.

On the other hand, for the weird, obsessive .1% of people (e.g., me) who would be happy to work all day in their mother's basement so long as it's interesting work, then FAANG (or, at least, many teams within it) can feel almost beside the point. Which is also fine!

I guess the point is that it all depends on what you want out of work and out of, well, not-work!
Not getting to pat yourself on the back much for helping is one thing. Being at fault is fundamentally different.

We punish people who do bad things. We don't punish people who have neither helped nor done anything bad. We might we wish they had done better, but wishing and enforcing are very distinct mechanisms.

Idea for the solution is to get everyone together to opt-in to a value system that demonizes excess accumulation. That sounds crazy/impossible today, but on lets say, a 2000 year timespan could we get there? 2000 years ago, "Thou Shalt Not Kill" was a seminal idea, eventually resulting in the world today where killing is demonized and this is existence proof of a solution. We can then abstract to the general class of game theory coordination dilemmas stuck at backstab/backstab, of which both covid and climate change are instances. The will/power of billions of people outweighs the power of a few (regardless of how concentrated the wealth is as wealth is an abstraction), and the internet offers a means for billions of people to coordinate. I conclude that the needed points of leverage are available today/ right now and simply awaiting a great leader to recognize the opportunity, figure out the play and execute it. And the way ideas spread online, I bet the world can reconfigure itself in not 2000 years, but 20 - a single business cycle.

Aggressive, sure, but also seems:

b. not the cardinal sin of discussion that it appears to be viewed as here.

You'll see people here defending Linus or Elon Musk for saying objectively way worse stuff than this.

Somehow Timnit is defined by this discussion, but Elon isn't defined by calling a rescue diver a pedophile with no evidence or Linus telling someone to kill themselves.
I think post WW2, there was this unwritten social agreement. The company took care of you, and you took care of the company. At some point that agreement was severed. Companies stopped being loyal to employees, and slowly employees have learned to stop being loyal to companies.

That's quite a bold claim, isn't it? I also don't see how it's an alternative to OP considering it doesn't even mention how to integrate the code with any database, let alone Postgres.

As an aside, how does your approach deal with collisions? Why would the chance of collisions be any lower than with the random approach if you're using what seems to come down to a cryptographically secure hash function?
If you and I and everyone else knows that we can write valuable software without the need for all of this tangential puzzle practice, it seems a very suitable response would be to do everything in our collective power to sidestep the puzzle lovers altogether.

Empirical data that it works pretty well? I think the fact that this has been the de facto way of interviewing at the top tech companies during the time that tech has absolutely exploded in ways never seen before, I'd say yeah, it's working pretty well. I think you're seeking an explanation where one is not owed. If it wasn't working well, it would be changed, just like the brain teaser questions of the early 2000s pioneered by Google.

And look, I get it, it's frustrating. I share in that frustration as someone that wants to switch companies but knows that I will have to put in the effort outside of work to prepare for that. But I still think the process is much more meritocratic and predictable than virtually every other industry.

Panda3D – open-source Framework for 3D Rendering and Games
Some features of the license agreement are though.

For example, some foundries require you buy a special expensive license in order to use their fonts in a PDF. IIRC, Hoefler & Co. and Emigre do this (though it's been years since I've looked, so I may have changed this). Their rationale is that since it's possible to extract font from a PDF, they need to pay for any font piracy that results from that.

(never mind that anyone who wants to pirate the font would just go and find a torrent instead of ripping it out of a PDF... and there are torrents of every notable foundry's entire libraries)

This! I hate the perverse incentive that many americans try to push about sick leave, overtime etc. The truth of the matter is that most people actually want to do their job. Do people abuse sick leave - yes, but it is certainly the minority of sick days taken.

In fact leave is undervalued as a concept by most US employers/employees, various studies have found that workers who take more vacation and work less hours are healthier and more productive. Some progressive companies are starting to learn from this (I spoke to a travel technology company a while ago who will fund you to take a 2 week trip out of the country every year).
Have you ever looked at the map of US HP campuses in their heyday? Dispersed across the country, with regionally clumped physical proximity, a foot in numerous labor markets and all tidily within a couple timezones.

Your obsession with a poison pill is quite bewildering, because you're constructing an elaborately implausible scenario where:

1. union power is increased (let alone maximized to pre-70s levels) in the United States

2. the software industry is unionized

3. the unions turn hard right and start adopting 19th century attitudes towards immigrants

In this wildly fantastical situation, would you even say that a poison pill could even do anything against such a reactionary wave? If American society had somehow gone so xenophobic, unions would probably be the last thing we would have to worry about in such a dystopia. Not to mention that any legal fig leaf like your poison pill would be no more protective than a parasol in a tempest.

By-the-by, I would suspect that the essential elements of your vaunted "poison pill" is already part of the bylaws and charters of most modern unions. Take the SEIU constitution for instance: https://d3jpbvtfqku4tu.cloudfront.net/img/constitution-2016....

This is all semantics, but the idea was that Java is a "real" language for serious use and JavaScript is a "script" that's much easier to use and doesn't involve all the complications of a "real" programming language.

It was only kind of true back then, and not even remotely true now. There really isn't a solid line you can draw between a "script" and a "programming language". To me, something like Python is right in between.
They make their money the second it's sold, and don't make any after. Why should they care how long it lives?

Someday maybe our betters in Europe will understand that the American experience with unions is different than that of Europeans.

This seems a little disingenuous, especially considering that System76 manufactures their own desktops, rolls their own custom distro that is tested to play well with their machines' hardware, and (I've heard) actively engages with Clevo during the design process since they're both invested in having the end product be as good as possible.

Just seems like they're doing more than slapping a distro on a third-party machine and profiting from the brand, especially considering issues most people seem to have with Linux computers in a practical sense.
This is a relevant and good question that I don't know the answer to.
The obsession of American developers with retirement tells a lot about what they think about their jobs.
yep, that's exactly what i mean by "informed & written" - quite literally it must be active by definition of "informed", but furthermore in a way that is clear to the user of WHAT he actively consented to, and written meaning "proveable".
If you sent your boss a letter that said "I will resign if you do not meet conditions X, Y, and Z." and they decide to not meet those demands, what do you expect the company to do?

Let you continue to have access to company resources? My expectations are they would immediately terminate access to all company resources, pay me 2 weeks, send me a letter wishing me good luck on my future endeavors, and send an email to my co-workers saying I resigned.

Now later I might think, shoot maybe I shouldn't have threatened to quit if they didn't meet my demands because I really liked my job. But I don't think we should pretend this isn't exactly what 95% of all corporations would do in a similar situation.
