> This seems like an argument that there are no priorities and no things that are more important than other things. I don't think you believe that.

On the contrary, I'm arguing that making an impact wherever you can is better than avoiding things that don't meet some criteria of "things that are likely to help my resume." The priority I'm advocating is, making an impact by applying your skills (or even better, learning new skills) to solve problems that you can find (or are brought to you).

This is how you'll build a breadth of experience (which will be valuable for employers) and identify a niche that you enjoy (which will be valuable for you).
I quite like that!
Where in Ireland did you move to? What about work?
Any idea what the required GPU time would cost (if not donated)? Is GPT-3 just a commodity soon?
I know this response happens every time a #BigTech company gets fined, but I feel like this is like even more ridiculously small?

Forget Apple, most multinational companies could absorb a 2 million dollar fine without even needing to bring it up to the CFO.

This quote just seems kinda silly with the amount

>Apple needs to understand that in Brazil, there are solid consumer protection laws and institutions. It needs to respect these laws and these institutions.

Yeah Apple has really had the law laid on them with this massive fine.
I'm afraid I have no idea—I'm pretty far removed from that side of the business—but my guess would be that it's probably more complicated and there are likely a lot of different possible reasons.

YC has funded thousands of startups, so there's inevitably a long tail of weird cases. People tend not to take that into account when assessing particular datapoints.
The existing non-driverless cars are already full of software.
Look at waveshare's website. Get one with a HAT if the description says it needed, and always check out the refresh rate, it varies wildly (from ~0.5 secs to 15+ secs)

I think they are Waveshare's supplier, you might even get cheaper/more specific stuff: https://www.good-display.com/product/6/
I don't think that's a counter point. I'm not saying that CS masters people can't be successful employees or entrepreneurs, just that in my experience the ones I've interviewed tend not to do well on simple "implement this function" type questions. I'm not making a broader claim, just stating my experience.
We are squandering the greatest opportunity of remote work
We chose the less harmful option, it's not that complicated.

Ron DeSantis would agree.
> it would paralyze everyone except them economically

It would cause a lot of economic damage to PRC too.

If they attack Taiwan, definitely the US and its allies will retaliate. They'd likely place trade sanctions on PRC which would damage much of it export businesses. They might even consider a naval blockade of PRC.
Here’s an opera music generator from the same site that I’ve spent an embarrassingly large amount of time playing with: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/blob-opera

6-9 credit course of courses and you’re a circuit designer?
You are dreaming. Which capacitors are used for what function? What kind of trouble can you get into if your comparator is too fast? Do they tell you that a 7800 series regulator needs a load? Going to school is good. But if the alternative is 6-9 course hours, I’ll get further with scope, meter, soldering iron, app notes, and LTSpice in the same time than that student. And I assure you, from the bottom of my heart, as a near-expert in both, that the Fourier analysis in quantum mechanics, solid state physics, optics, etc. bears little resemblance to that used in signals and systems and DSP. LITTLE. RESEMBLANCE.
Semiconductor manufacturing is pretty dirty. Lots of toxic chemicals.

right, so he became a billionaire because of his constant failures.
The PM you worked with should be able to answer this question. If they can’t, your project is likely a waste of time.

The signal from a hiring standpoint is that you asked and cared about this. Engineers who will just do whatever are less useful/impactful than engineers who push back and care about the value they’re delivering. Even if it’s sometimes fuzzy to estimate.
I learned a lot via MOOCs, professors (who are often also university professors) are amazing.
Yes, an interpreter is exactly what microcoding is. See Maurice Wilkes' original paper, or the initial IBM 360 models (the lower end of which had an 8 bit CPU running the microcode), or the various VAX models etc.

In those days the microcode ROM and ALU etc was substantially faster than RAM (core). At some point SRAM became as fast as or faster than ROM and machines copied the microcode into SRAM on startup. Some machines such as the Burroughs 1700 series loaded different microcode into SRAM depending on whether you wanted to run FORTRAN or COBOL programs.

Then companies started allowing users to write their own custom instructions in microcode. See for example the VAX "Writeable Control Store" which on the 11/780 (as an option) gave users 1024 words (12 KB) for custom microcode and a microcode assembler and debugger. Some people even wrote compilers targeting this for languages such as Pascal (see for example https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a089424.pdf)

The next step was to turn the SRAM into a cache, and make a slightly more user-friendly microcode the actual instruction set used by all compilers, and thus RISC was born.

Of course you are correct that specialised instructions to make instruction decoding easier are helpful in an ISA emulator. It would not surprise me to see RISC-V itself get an extension along those lines in the near future, to help M-mode software emulate unaligned loads and stores and other unimplemented instructions, but maybe also to help emulate other instruction sets.
How do you quantify "more"? If you mean "by length of blocklist", is the number of rules a good metric to evaluate a filter list? In years of using the built-in "EasyList Cookie" list, I've:

1. Never seen a cookie div.

2. Never been bitten by incorrect / false-positivey / over-zealous rules.

Everything else being equal, more options is good, but I don't see any reason to switch from Easylist Cookies, which I know is well-maintained, benefits from the Easylist umbrella, and has lots of users (since it's offered by default in uBlock Origin).
You’ve never seen SRP in practice? This is honestly concerning.

You’ve never seen like a User class that only encapsulates fields and methods relating to a User abstraction?
So that metric is really bad because almost every Bitcoin wallet only uses each address once, for privacy reasons. Most of those bottom 98% of addresses probably have very small amounts and are just a small part of someones wallet.
On the TV show "Alive," people were occasionally trapping mice and eating them, and the show would show trivia like how many calories were in the food.

I think it was worth something like 30 calories for a mouse. Virtually nothing.
Yes, that's my point. That part of it (the way it makes you feel) is unphilosophical.

I called it literature, you called mysticism. I like literature and mysticism though, I just don't think it's philosophy.
Well done, Dr. Callahan!

Not just schools, in general if you look at infection/death rates you wouldn't be able to guess if a country/state(US) was locked down or open.
Twitter as a product seems to be completely built around reinforcing existing viewpoints. For example:

* You can't convince anyone of anything in 280 characters. So the content just reinforces existing beliefs.

* Likes and retweets means that posts that get a strong reaction will overtake everything else. This means everything is either optimised for inducing anger or is a joke.

* The product is built around cults of personalities rather than letting the content speak for itself.

* Distribution via quote tweets mean the audience has been primed on what to think about something before they read it.

I don't think there was ever any chance that Twitter could facilitate a meeting of the minds.
prehudice due to msm brainwashing I would say.

There's about a 3% death rate[1] when hospitals aren't flooded with sick people, and the death rate hits double digits when the healthcare system is DDOS'd by sick patients, as we've seen in Italy. The hospitalization rate is about 10%.

If everyone in the US got COVID, and 1% of them died, that would be 3.3 million people dead and over 30 million hospitalized. If the death rate is 3%, 9.85 million would die. I don't think there are 30 million hospital beds in the US, so that figure could reach over 10 million, which is 8 digits.

However, while you're busy focusing on digits, you're missing the overall point.

I thought RA stood for robotics automation and I got excited for a second.
Eating organic fruits (directly from trees, or on the ground). The pleasure is decoupled because you need to search for them, riding kilometers, it's not always easy, and they're so much more nutritive than the ones in supermarkets
I'm not sure what your point is.

It's glaringly obvious that this code is functionally wrong, in no small part bc of the type information.
The older D compilers would emulate TLS for platforms that didn't support it, like the older Mac OS. That code is still in there somewhere.

A similar concept in business: Core Product vs. Full Package. As unsexy as the non-core product stuff is to developers/engineers, it's still important for the company to survive (marketing, legal, sales, accounting, etc.).
My daughter has been doing exactly that all year as a teacher in a private school. My son has been attending full day class in a private school long before vaccinations were available. This has been true for private schools all around the country (fortunately w we don't have teachers unions who think they deserve extra special protection, more than everyone else in society). And guess what? No problems. Wash your hands, stay home when you're sick and it's amazing how there are no dreaded COVID "superspreader" events.

I have been out on the front lines as a first responder since the beginning w/o a vaccination. And I would gladly be anywhere without vaccinations and masks, because I know the stats and probabilities, and I don't cower in the face of risk, as lockdown and mask proponents are.

People get sick. People die (2.8M in the US, per the CDC) It's happened since the beginning of humans, and it will always be that way. In past pandemics we never were paranoid cowards like this (smallpox, asian flu, etc), but somehow all of that wisdom was trashed last year because people are so afraid of risk and think they can actually "control" a virus. Good luck with that.

We need to accept that 3 million Americans will die this year and we can't keep everyone alive forever no matter how hard we try - And that our bizarre fixation on making every decision as if Covid19 deaths are the only societal outcome that matters is profoundly wrong.
I haven't even mentioned intangible secessionist states setting up auto-resolving contracts systems and laws, taxation, etc.
100% there are services! I believe that Azure ML/AI has a natural text transcription service.

In theory I could try and tweet at Seth Juarez@microsoft to see if I can get a sweetheart deal.

But the more I think about the previous poster's position on the text, the more I convince myself that it might be worth a few bucks an episode for me to pay out-of-pocket if it means improved accessibility for users with disabilities.

Not really because it's good business, but more because I've really come to believe in the value and power of implementing accessibility features.

I'm actually starting to get a little teary eyed thinking about that blindness activist's viral video where he broke down physically sobbing the words "thank you" when he saw all of the accessibility features that Naughty Dog added to The Last of Us 2. (I'll hunt the video for people who haven't seen it, but be warned that you will probably bawl your eyes out like a school-child).

From a cost perspective, I'll be putting in hundreds of fake dollars worth of time. The people I interview will be effectively donating hundreds of dollars worth of their own time.

The least I can do is put some serious thought into plunking down dozens of dollars of pocket money for a transcription service.

I'm more sold on the idea than I was in my previous post (5 minutes ago)

Also people really want to believe the story of a "female Steve Jobs."
You don’t know anything about the amount of infections in March other than that it was more than 5000 per day, because there was a shortage of testing kits, which is my point.

I think saying Excel & co are just shortcuts to do the same thing worse, is a bit uncharitable. I have very little experience with spreadsheets and a fair bit of experience with imperative programming (I guess declarative too from SQL, which is actually quite transferable to gSheets formulas).

I was sorting out a spreadsheet which I could use to keep track of income events and display information on taxes at different brackets, running totals for income & tax, capital gains events, and spent about 3-4 hours working on it, even though the formulas were all new to me.

The same thing would have taken me far longer as a python program.

Spreadsheets are really just the perfect way to operate on tabular data and display tabular data that has been transformed through a cascading series of transformation functions. I don't think it's possible to do this as efficiently through imperative programming.
I think he meant the artifact or small thing you ship may be a success.

But, for Indiehackers, consider two things:

1. A site devoted to making business will attract lots of wannabees

2. Many successful businesses are too busy to bother with such things, especially if they get no marketing benefit from indiehackers or face risk from competitors knowing their revenue.

Indiehackers also misses the vast graveyard of failed businesses that stopped operating and went nowhere, but it is far from an unbiased sample.

$20,000 a month for any bootstrapped business with actual expenses (contractors etc) is actually not that much yet it puts you near the top of the leaderboard.

Why do people respond to the taxation of the wealthy by suggesting that we cut spending?

The apologist approach to the taxation the wealthy is just baffling.

The rich have been allowed to accumulate wealth because of tax laws that favor them.
The software for machine learning have become both significantly more powerful and significantly more user-friendly, and pre-trained image and text models have become extremely powerful to the point where a hobbyist can get satisfying results without being an expert. This has made it easier than ever to learn machine learning, and it's made it easier to develop resources for learning machine learning.
Cities are generally considered efficient and good. We want people to live in them. In traditional Neoliberal thought, anyway.

Yeah I don't see it as a trick either, it's the most basic question to ask with a specific answer.
Deleuze was always my favorite too, it's been years since I read his works but I've been thinking of going back for the fun of it. I had stumbled upon DeLanda who helped clarify A Thousand Plateaus, but do you have any recommendations for reading and understanding Deleuze? Unfortunately I don't have a very extensive philosophical background beyond some undergrad courses and personal exploration on my own, which makes it a bit difficult when parsing references to Freud, Nietzsche, etc.

Disclaimer: I do work at a FAANG. I'm not sure what circles you're talking about.

"References" in the traditional sense may not be an important thing. But certainly being able to back your resume claims – whether with skills from that experience, or with people who will vouch for you – is important. If it wasn't, we could all just put "Optimized SQL and improved profit 20%" (or anything else) on our resumes, no?

I participate in interviews from time to time. I don't ask a lot of trivia-type algorithm questions, but I do try to size up where a candidate has invested their effort so far. Have they invested it in trying (and learning) to solve problems? Or have they invested in in padding their resume? I'll take the former over the latter every time, even if they don't have a bunch of brag-points on their resume.

That's just me, though shrug
There's also frequently a dotted border for inclusive selection and a solid border for exclusive selection. Very subtle. Makes it easy to remember which is which if you know how roads work.
Good advice. There's a lot of discussion about what a senior engineer should do, but this is a different discussion altogether (how do you find opportunities for growth once you're senior).

That seems at least a bit hyperbolic - AMD has pushed intel a lot in the past four years but it wasn't until the past year or so that they have potentially started outperforming Intel (depending on workload) in what is likely to be a 'who has released more recently' kind of competition for a while.

Latest benches have AMD and Intel winning in about the same number of tests.
The MicroChip "PolarFire SoC" FPGA chips have five 64 bit RISC-V cores (SiFive U54-MC) currently running at 600 to 667 MHz (depending on speed grade) inside. So far the only available device has 250k logic elements (LUT4 + FF) for $340 qty 1, but there are part numbers in the data sheet for other sizes in future.

I have an "Icicle" board based on this chip. The FPGA comes preconfigured to boot Linux from the included pre=programmed SD card, so you can just use it to run Linux if you don't care about FPGAs. Or you can replace or enhance the default FPGA programming.

I still don't see what you mean. It sounds like you are saying the real threat would be if they had no other features that could let them stand out in the market, at which point a competitor would be able to beat them by lowering the price, possibly to zero. That can be done by any competitor and has very to do with the license -- my point is that the open source license on that "competing product" actually helps them, by allowing them to make use of the same thing without having to pay that initial investment again. And the first initial investment you made isn't lost as long as you keep a path to retaining those customers.

To put it another way, if the actual problem to the business is that they are falling behind on feature velocity and don't have the head count to keep up, re-using some features from open source code could actually help there.
> lets them both think they're both correct and the other one is wrong, what exactly is the point of those principles

Guidelines can be useful even when subjective. Vitriolic disputes over whose (subjective) view is "correct" is an example of toxic behavior, not a problem with the guidelines being used to justify such behavior.

What would you think of someone who loudly insisted (without humor) that putting pineapple on pizza was wrong as a matter of principle? Is such expression in any way useful?

Oh, no, I'm agreeing with - throwing out the statement, and instead focusing on whether or not it's a shared context, is everything. Once you understand it's the same context, you -know- what to do; you don't need to be reminded that DRY is a virtue
And what would China win exactly? Even if they somehow miraculously manage to keep TSMC up and running they would not be able to export anything produced there to other countries and permanently loose access to all western IP.

This just seems like a manifestation of the class shift that happened in the internet era. Don't be an idiot - you don't work for youtube. You don't work for Youtube, you don't work for Youtube, Uber, Facebook or Apple. You're a company that has a business relationship with Youtube, Uber, Facebook or Apple. A company that solely exists for your business relationship with the aformentioned, and the business relationship resembles a BDSM relationship more than a traditional relationship, but that's fine, because that's what you knowingly signed up for when you decided to contract with youtube.

And now, you want to come to Youtube's customers and complain about youtube to them.

This is going to sound very harsh, but essentially what I'm saying is that this isn't an issue with youtube, it's a political issue about power dynamics in corporate and monopoly power, and these surface level outbursts seema little... naive. Especially when there's no mention of context - which is that this guy basically built his business on sand.

Youtube completely fucks with this guy and his last phrase in the video "Hope to see you on this bloody platform next sunday". Well that's great leverage isn't it.
