I'm not too happy with the implications of this. 1) Police officer points radar gun at me: "Sir, I'm going to have to cite you!". 2) Me: "Was I going too fast?"; 3) "No, you failed to wear your state-regulated radar reflector (and tracking device)."
Good metrics were one of the bases for indusrial revolution: Ford was very strictly and methodically was decreasing the cost of manufacturing the cars and especially the hours of work required to manufacture a car and the number of incidents without decreasing the quality of the product. I think his book where he goes into the details is awesome.

The problem is that number of lines of code is a good metric only if it is decreased without decreasing code quality.

You may not have to add arbitrary preference functions but you have to add the arbitrary assumption that people don’t care about anything else than the hypothetical asymptotic growth if the current “bet” was to be replayed endlessly. (I don’t think that’s what the agent experiences either.)

Using EUT with a logarithmic utility function is not more arbitrary than that. Assume that people look to maximize asymptotic growth under repeated bets and you know that the logarithmic utility function is what you need.

And as a bonus EUT can be applied in many cases where people don’t care just about the asymptotic growth rate!

indeed by far seems like the best job scraper, 2nd be Dice? But I can tell without question. If you're looking for an interview. You need to find someone in the inside who can refer. A typical job could literally have hundreds if not thousands of resumes of course all scanned by machines. The only ones that gets any considering are always the inside referral. I've hired almost 90% from inside referrals, the outside even pre-screened takes days weeks even months to work through. For the hiring mgr, that's too much pain. Also the pressure from inside to hire the "referred" candidate is also another factor. So yeah, if you're trying to come in cold, your chances are slim to none. One way in if no directly referral is through LinkedIn's network of "connections.'

PS> However, now a days, if you're a dev and can show, exhibit, describe your work. In particular one you created, lead, and managed is to have articles/GitHub to showcase them. Depending on the problem and the solution you're showcasing. That could get you the interview if not the job outright since machines can't scan and quantify that so will need to be flagged for human review.

I would say that Qt, GTK, Swing are perfect for application for doing your job. I know it sucks when this applications will not use the native file manager (Qt uses it but GTK refused maybe still refuses to integrate ) but at the end of the day most applicatons are created for heavy work and the UX is more important then the border radius of a button.

So my opinion is if you want an app that looks perfect in screenshots or your customers are liking the buttonsand complain if the corners are not round enough then you should use the native looking stuff, but if your customers do their job using this app and every minute lost because of bugs. missing feature or bad UX then the look of the toolkit is not the issue, focus on what the customer is doing , see where you can improve his work and you will have happy customers.
I tried using WiFi on intercontinental flights on Lufthansa in 2018/2019 aaand it was IMO unusable for anything besides text messaging.

Yeah, it's bad. Just ban or set a low speed limit for the cars if they can't avoid hitting people and other stuff on the road.
it's a strange philosophy. Isn't the point of building machines that they can do things that humans can't? It's like building drones for warfare and turning the heat-seeking off because humans don't have that capacity.

A generally intelligent driving system is going to benefit from better sensory inputs just like a human would, it's not like that makes the system dumber. The whole dichotomy between sensory inputs and processing seems strange to begin with, there's not necessary a clear line, or a reason why one should be prioritized over the other.
Hmm funny, but that link hijacked my back button. As I clicked BACK for the third time, I imagined the programmer of the page looking contentedly down on me from above, with tented fingers...

Ok so surely "contented" isn't anything to do with finger tents?! ... Apparently it's from the Latin contentus, from continere "to hold together, enclose".[1]

"Sense connection of "contained" and "satisfied" probably is that the contented person's desires are bound by what he or she already has"

That does sound more than accidentally related to hand-tenting! You are actually displaying your enclosure, your container.

[1] Spanish has "contener" – to contain, include, control, repress, hold back. Corresponding to contentus is "contenido" – contained, held back, (noun) contents, (adj) reserved, restrained.

Almost certainly not. AFAIK the technology to do street-level imagery from satellites is still mostly only on government spy satellites, and certainly isn’t cheap

I think its always a good exercise in empathy to try to imagine some reasons :)

- English as a second language. You need fairly basic proficiency to order online vs far higher proficiency to order via phone - specific jargon, high pressure, no non-audio clues

- even as first language many people dislike phone. Again, lack of visual feedback and other aspects

- harder to be certain you ordered correctly. You can review online order, you can easily mishear even a repeated order.
Same for address, which can be complex in some cases. Then you get into discussion with either driver or restaurant on whether you did or did not specify east vs west, crescent vs road, sixteen vs sixty.

- timing. You can take all the time in the world to order online vs a very specific real time slice requirement of phone call. You can order online while on 2hr phone conference or watching tv etc etc.

Heck I've just persuaded myself not to use phone ordering :-)))

Hi Patrick! Glad you that found it interesting and that it still works. I rescued it from a former employer (BT). Initially I was offered a Symbolics 3660 which was a lot bigger and had a 30 amp plug with round pins, but I turned that one down.
We're now going on year 2, with limited protests, and vaccines being promised "soon" with "soon" slowly moving further and further away.

That said, the restrictions are being released despite it being a bad idea, and I think the government realizes that they can't really tighten them without risking violent protests.

> his bullshitting is still nowhere close to the competitors

I mean, as I said, the whole stock market is full of bullshit. My point is the system is designed to incentivize bullshitting, so it's expected given the incentive system created. Companies that don't bullshit don't win, and if that's the loss function you define, bullshit is what you're going to get.

> everything else in the cars is ready for self driving

I disagree with this. I think significant hardware upgrades to Tesla cars will be necessary to achieve L4. Any attempts at L4 without those upgrades will result in a lot of accidents. I won't be surprised if they come out 5 years from now asking former Tesla owners to get their cars retrofitted with some new sensors if they want L4.

L2 is achievable with their existing hardware and that's what they are doing.
That is a wonderful and very telling graph. Also interesting to note that everything that has becomes cheaper is optional spend (except clothing) that one can do without. Everything above the line which has become more expensive are things which are more necessary.
This means every single thing must be very carefully rewritten. You can not cite every single sentence in the full document, you would have to mimic Wine and rewrite the entire thing until your lawyers aren't worried about getting sued anymore.

And nobody's doing that.

Most people aren't going to quote much anyway, which means the people who don't know what's referenced can't understand it because they have no context. Which brings us back to square one, you can't meaningfully discuss the content in public.
I am sorry for you.

Now, what you experience isn't necessity.

Think why you decided to write you only trust "select few"? Aren't these the people you plan on interacting with for a long time like family, friends or coworkers?

That's because when you plan to work with somebody for a long time, your game changes from finite to infinite. It suddenly makes other than altruistic sense to invest actual resources into fostering the relationship and avoid damaging this relationship by cheating.
What makes this potentially complicated in the US is each state being a different jurisdiction. While states aren't really anything like "countries" in the European statehood sense of the word, they keep separate records by design, and there are often no interoperable systems for exchanging data. This is why there is no "USA marriage certificate" in the US, there's simply no nation wide record of marriages.

I'd guess the industry built around background checks and the like is partially a response to this. There isn't a national registry of crimes, at least not all kinds, so you could game the Australian system by just crossing state borders. Hence companies selling collections of people's (technically) public record. A solution may be to just create more national registries, but this seems antithetical to the US's idea of statehood. Maybe it'd be for the best, though...
You have a sales cadence here.
There are lots of tools can do it and arkitaip already mentioned a few. Can you elaborate a little bit more on the business itself? There are good use cases for Amazon SES or Salesforce Pardot or some others,but it depends on your position in the market.

Not to fully doubt you but your entire story seems highly unlikely and politically convenient.

Considering the genocide of Native Americans in America, the lack of reparations and the amount of US government monies paid to IBM, native peoples should be rolled to the front of the line YET still hired solely based on their merit.

Rich executives’ kids are rolled to the front of the line for internships, entry level positions and college admissions.

Making sure that natives are considered is the least we can do in making the world more just.
What happened to Angel seemed like cheap drama to me, too. With the added "benefit" of allowing another romance plotline for Blair. It overall just seemed like a less mature, more melodramatic story than the previous two games.
I don't know, places like Switzerland certainly make me wish we had some of those aspects in my home country. For things with a lot of special interests like privacy legislation, it seems to get better results.
Nobody has demonstrated L 4/5, so all positions are ideological ones.

You could also argue that because LIDAR is expensive, it's hard to get billions of miles of training from LIDAR-equipped vehicles. This is not the case with Tesla's sensing package, which is racking up the miles as we speak. So sure, expense makes it less appealing from a consumer perspective, but its also possible that the difficulty of deploying LIDAR fleets makes it less likely to achieve FSD in the short term due to less capacity to generate training data.

Long-term we'll probably want all our vehicles to have as many sensors as is feasible. But nobody trying to get to FSD today is worried about what it will look like in 100 years – they're all trying to get their first.
But you said we don't need Lidar because humans don't. Why would Tesla need more than 2 eyes if humans only have 2 eyes?
I'm not at all experienced on the subject, but, so far, the mindset I liked most is the one presented on "Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art": one must be aware about the difference between an estimate and a plan.

Estimates are statistical by nature; they are made of "educated guesses" and historical and empirical data available. Estimates must be unbiased. They are unnegotiatable and they are not commitments.

Plans are not statistical. They are oriented by estimates, but they must present concrete dates and, when they are not met, the plan must be revised and renegotiated. Plans are commitments.

I think this separation brings useful implications and tools to argue sensitively with stakeholders. I've always hated having to commit to hard dead lines based on estimates. While I was aware of the importance of providing concrete deadlines, it felt like I was taking the entire risk of the estimate for myself, which is unfair, to say the least.

By making the separation between estimates and plans, I'm more equipped to discuss the matter. I can show the estimate and, when pressed to commit with a tighter deadline, I have some leverage to trade the desired deadline for a decrease on the project requirements set, for instance.

"ordering food is usually the simplest of all phone interactions"

It's reaaaaallllyyyy not though... Or at least not for everybody :-)

Never mind the jargon of main order you prepped for, I still freeze when I encounter dozen unexpected follow up questions on sizes sauces cooking cutlery garnishments combos packages savings whatnot. :O

I am with you on morality and approach and downsides of these apps, and how sustainable or fait the model is. But that's an entirely separate chain of reasoning from whether phone or app ordering is preferred :-/
Interestingly they measure anticipated speedup compared to a CPU, not a GPU:

> Intel’s Data Platforms Group will come together to create a dedicated ASIC to reduce the computational overhead of FHE over existing CPU-based methods. The press release states that the target is to reduce processing time by five orders of magnitude from current methods, reducing compute times from days to minutes.

AFAIK, a modern GPU already provides up to 3 orders of magnitude speedup compared to a CPU [1].

That's why I added Al Capone: it isn't always what you did that you end up getting convicted for, some things are a lot easier to prove than others and why waste a lot of effort on something hard to prove when the perp conveniently hands you an easier way to achieve the same effect?
A couple points:

- I was more referring to job opportunities after release; even if an inmate received a bunch of hands-on training while incarcerated, a lot of public and private sector employers alike consider a criminal record to be a disqualification. This makes getting a job harder, which makes supporting oneself legitimately harder, which makes crime more attractive to put food on the table, which drives recidivism.

- On the topic of inmate vocational training and prison labor, the primary objections to said labor revolve around the lack of compensation (we're talking multiple orders of magnitude less than federal minimum wage) and poor working conditions; it's legal slavery (quite literally; the 13th Amendment carved out prison labor as an exception to the abolition of slavery). Prison laborers need the ability to negotiate for better wages and working conditions, and this negotiation is currently impossible because prisons can compel them by threat of violence to accept any terms, no matter how unfair to the worker. Indeed, if prisoners were fairly compensated for their labor, they might be able to save up enough money to not feel as strong of a need to return to a life of crime should they remain shunned by employers, per above (and hell, they might even be able to bootstrap themselves a startup and sidestep said shunning entirely).
They are punting their delivery costs to the cute little DoorDash while they can. I personally hate these third parties being interjected unexpectedly. I feel like the local business is probably being hijacked (like Yelp does) because I don't know the terms of the transaction. Furthermore, I don't trust DoorDash or whatever delivery app-dujor is running the food this week, I used to trust the business I was ordering from. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth
