> The elderly in particular. Over time all your teeth go.

This was the view of dentists before WWII. Both of my grandmothers had all their teeth pulled before they were thirty when there was very little wrong with them. "You'll lose them anyway, why not get a nice set of dentures?" They both regretted taking their dentists' advice. My octogenarian mother grew up in a more enlightened age and she still has her teeth. Tooth loss is not inevitable.

Depends what your goal is. Name, Learning, Job?

The value add from the name of a respected bootcamp isn't as high as you think.

Getting a job will come from your effort and creativity in the search process post-bootcamp.

Which program you choose depends on your time, money, and energy constraints. The good news is that there are plenty of options out there.

I wrote a post [1] outlining the constraint tradeoffs based off my experience in a bootcamp and subsequent career movement through the data world.

Bluedroid is the old stack. Zach and co started the floride project to clean it up, but it seems GD is their attempt to totally rewrite it.
This thread was originally about using a container / overlay FS that has read access to the underlying filesystem, and writes happen into a temporary overlay.

Network connections and certain system-calls might still be scary. However, VM / container systems that are supposed to defend against hostile hosted machines should also be safe here. The only difference is that here information leaking from the host into the VM is the point, instead of dangerous.

I think hes talking about VPN's in the context of these companies selling vpn services under the guise of "privacy" or "security". ProtonVPN, Nord, Mozillas, Mullvad and there are a ton others, many with less than stellar reputations and some that outright lie.

Thats a bit separate from a road warrior, corporate vpn or even one that one may host on a VPS that they have full control over and are willing to allow the hosting provider still see the traffic. As in, they trust the hosting provider more than the transit provider. Think University/Campus networks, public gov networks, or even some ISP's or corp networks.
That's fair criticism, but I don't think it makes pop music any less artistic. There's something to be said about music that goes beyond the listener's ears and also taps into fashion, make-up trends, viral dances and that kind of stuff. That's where the risk is, and while it's paid off in the past (like Lady Gaga, David Bowie, etc), there's also numerous cases where it didn't as much (Ava Max, Viktoria Modesta).

I also believe there's artistic value in music that understands it's just ear-candy and doesn't try to be something else. In a world where so many people are trying to score a hit with the same chord progression for example, the ones that succeed stand out in other factors, and in my opinion it doesn't matter if it's some catchy verse on the refrain or something about the performer like Lady Gaga's provocative performances back in the early 2010s.
I am an amateur dev and since I more or less learned Vue and the Quasar framework, every web site looks like a Vue&Quasar nail to me.

It works - i can pop out sites that work in a mall amount of time. They will never be istheshipstillstuck.com-famous or cnn.com-loaded, or never be used in some countries where loading 10 MB of JS is a problem.

they are used by me, on my 1000/400 Mbps connection, or by my children on a LAN.

So having a hammer that works-sort-of-always-but-not-optimal is better than having a stupendous ultra-refined tool that is the exact fit for the work - but requires 100 hours to learn and 430 pages of docs translated by Google from Swahili to French.

Yes - this is pretty much exactly how I explain the difference between machine learning and statistics.

Despite using similar models, the expertise required for 'doing statistics' (statistical inference) is actually very different from machine learning. Machine learning fits into the 'hacker mentality' well - try stuff out see what works. To do statistical inference effectively, you really do need to spend time learning the theory. They both require deep skills - but the skills are surprisingly different considering it's often the same underlying model.
Why spend their $16B per quarter in profit from App Store on moderation when they can just put most of it in the bank?

It's so absurd we're not forcing companies like Apple and Facebook to use 99% of their profit for moderation until adequate systems, protocols and processes are in place.
Slightly offtopic, but don't get hung on job titles.

I'm a mid-level software engineer in a large company, and I'm in my mid 30s. Certainly I'm in the older side of this tenure bracket, but I'm far from the only one.

This is the thing: my current position has far bigger scope and impact as a mid level than senior+ roles have at other companies. Also, we regularly interview people in their 40s for mid level roles.

Bottom line, if you want to improve you'll need to let go of personal ego and what others might think. It's certainly uncomfortable, but it's also the best way to improve.

Katy Perry found success as a songwriter before she found success as a singer, and has written songs for Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Selena Gomez, and Nikki Minaj, among others. (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/katy-perry-wr...) Most of her own songs are co-written in studio with her collaborators on the song (meaning the feat artist and the producers), with each collaborator pitching in or more of the hooks or verses.

Ariana Grande has written a few of her own songs (though none of these were released as singles).

Perhaps you meant that neither Katy Perry or Ariana Grande are composers (who write the instrumental portion of the song)?

As currymj commented, this isn't accurate for ML, only for classical statistics.

In ML (or more specifically deep learning), we make no distribution-based assumptions, other than the fundamental assumption that our training data is "distributed like" our test data. Thus, there aren't issues with fat-tailed distributions since we make no such normality assumptions. Indeed, with the use of autoencoders, we don't assume a single distribution, but rather a stochastic process.

I suppose you could say statistics is less "empirical" than ML in the sense that it is axiom-based, whether that is a normality assumption of predictions about a regression line or stock prices following a Wiener process. By contrast, ML is less rationalist by simply reflecting data.
Oh I know. And he already answered it anyway.
Apple has a unique relationship to its hardware, and the money to bend vendor's firmware to their will. Half of the problem with Bluetooth is the host stack. The other half is the firmware running on the controller on the other side of HCI. If the controller ever gets screwed up, the host stack can only disconnect from HCI and totally restart the controller.
Think of it as separate pies. Album sales will be split into at least 3 pieces. Album sales are the first pie. Firstly the label will have to recoup cost of production, sample clearance, video production etc to recoup. The producers and songwriters will likely get paid here as well, but the artist will get paid only after it recoups. Fuzzy math comes into play here and 10 million selling albums may never recoup...

Next there is the mechanical royalties that come from radio play, streaming, licensing agreements, etc. Those largely go to the owner of the composition(e.g. songwriter) from 25% up to 90ish percent depending on the publishing deal.

The live performance aspect is where the artist can rake it in if they play things smart. The live show largely goes to the artist(*as long as there is not a 360 deal in place*) They can charge what they can get, and sell merch at the show. If they produce their own merch they can probably net a nice profit. If they let a merch company "handle it for them" they will see 10 cents on the dollar or less. Artists can get into trouble if they make their shows too big and would only break even/run at a loss.

360 deals are a particularly insidious anti artist beast. Basically the label throws their might behind the artist and gets a large cut of ALL aspects of the money they make being an artist.(live shows,merch, everything) I suspect many of the big names at least start out in a 360 deal these days, and may have negotiating power once they become Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga or Ariana Grande.

Songwriters probably have the least negotiating power in this situation. When an artist has 50 songwriting teams throwing tracks their way, a suboptimal deal may have to be accepted just to have a shot at making the album. While I am not saying songwriting is not a talent(it most certainly is), unfortunately more people have said talent than there are A-List stars.

My experience with Github Enterprise is that I'll make a comment and someone will commit a change, but the reference to the change is far removed from where my comment text is (especially if there are many comments made between my commit and the commit that addresses it).

And if there are many other such commits addressing different comments, it gets difficult to find the one that specifically addresses the code I commented on.

So, I essentially need to skim through the diff again to find the code that I commented on, open another tab to find my comment and uncollapse it if it's outdated according to Github, and switch back and forth between the tabs to see if my change has been addressed. If it hasn't been addressed, I need to start a new comment thread on the updated diff.

It's certainly not a very efficient workflow.

I said: So it may be consistent and satisfiable to ask for a Y-program to compute halting for all X-programs. At least it has not yet been proven impossible.

You said: Alas, it has been proven. RAM computers are equivalent to Turing machines. If X and Y are Turing-complete languages then all X-programs can be converted to Turing machines, your proposed Y-program can also be converted into a Turing machine. Put another way, unless your language X is too weak to be useful, there should exist a deterministic program to convert any program written in Y into a program written in X with identical behavior (with regard to halting). This should be evident by the fact that the computers we use day-in and day-out execute one binary machine language. Any X-program and Y-program reduce to the same assembly language.

I say: You cannot have read my papers carefully. I spent a lot of time explaining, with examples, why programs with subjective specifications cannot be translated from one TM-equivalent language to another TM-equivalent language.

You said: This would disprove the Church-Turing thesis.

I say: Again, you cannot have read the paper carefully. There is a section in each of www.cs.utoronto.ca/~hehner/OSS.pdf and www.cs.utoronto.ca/~hehner/EGT+.pdf titled "Church-Turing Thesis", explaining that it applies to all objective specifications, which are the only specifications considered by Church and Turing, but not to subjective specifications.

You said: Regarding Cantor, indeed, there are many ways to compare the "sizes" of two sets. Cardinality is one such way. It can have applications, for instance Cantor's original paper used it to prove that there are infinitely many transcendental numbers. It is also used in real analysis, in Lebesgue integration, and in measure theory.

I say: Again, you cannot have read the paper carefully. Almost every time I mention applications in the paper, I say "applications outside mathematics". If you consider mathematics to be an application of mathematics, then all mathematics has applications.

You said: the "Program Analogy" section of the paper contains what I think is a flawed argument.

I say: Yes, I point out the flaw in the paper in the paragraph that starts with the sentence "Like the original Cantor argument, this program-analogy version is informal, and the informality may hide serious errors.". Did you miss it?

You will "win" this debate by throwing misunderstandings at me faster than I can reply. And it's disheartening because the replies are already in the papers, if you read them carefully.

> I'll talk to him to know if they still want me there.

Why would you think they don't want you there? This is not a helpful mindset to have. Here are the facts:

1) You passed the interview process.

2) They made you an offer.

3) They've continued to invest in you as an engineer by giving you feedback on your weak spots and where you can improve.

If you were really that far behind, they would have realized that in the hiring process and you would /not/ have received an offer. So let's start there. They definitely still want you there. That is why they hired you.

Second, let's talk about your "lack of knowledge," "being behind some things" and "real world experience" that "slapped [you] in the face" -- based on your mindset it looks like you are viewing this as a negative, or as proof of failure. Why is that the case?

You have 10 years of experience solving problems and getting paid for it. Now, you are solving different kinds of problems, so you're developing new muscles. It's expected on their end (and should be expected on yours) that there is some kind of /ramp up/. Talk about what ramp up means. Figure out your manager's expectations, and figure out what resources you have available to engage in ramp up. I guarantee you this, there's ramp up at any new medium-big company anywhere you go. There's tribal knowledge, spinning up on the industry vertical, etc -- all of this is incompressible, doesn't matter how good of an engineer your are.

If your manager is any good, they likely know about this and will appreciate you being aware of this problem as a logistics problem, not a moral problem. So think about it that way. Stop thinking about "whether they want you there" -- start thinking about "what blockers are in your way towards being productive" and start building a game plan with your manager. Worst case scenario, you're not able to accomplish it, but at least you gave it an effort and approached it the right way. That's a much more mature, proactive and effective approach than self-sabotaging yourself with feelings of inadequacy. I have a hunch that you won't fail if you do this, though. Just thinking about what you want to get accomplished and the nitty gritty details of how you get there and collaborating with your manager to get to a plan you're both happy with is /a lot/ of work -- once you've done that, if you work at a functional organization, the chances of you succeeding are very high!

Give yourself a pat on the back, while you're at it. Getting to a point where you're still being challenged after 10 years of experience is a /good/ thing! It reflects well on you and indicates your desire for growth. In all likelihood, your company saw this motivation in you and that's why they hired you. Look at the positives and opportunities here, and I'm sure you'll do amazing.

Good luck!

Public confusion about energy is normal and irrelevant. If public funds are spent via tax abatements etc to encourage solar builds, this is fine. No serious energy producer is going to be confused about where any given technology excels.

But that's not at all what this discussion is about. Apple cannot build nuclear or hydro. Apple can build solar, which >> coal/petro.

I get the sense that you're rooting for the nuclear team. OK, but that's not an option here.

If Apple doesn't build solar, then Apple is waiting for market forces to deliver unto it a better option, which is clearly not happening. So what would you have Apple do?

> As a home user solution with a batter pack in your basement it is kind of neat.

And this is dismissive. Apple has built over a GW of generation capacity, plus fuel cell storage. 100% of their global operations are powered renewably. That's a lot of houses.

It is not the least-expensive solution today, but building at scale is an appropriate way to push the technology forward. I don't see this as something a reasonable person would criticize.
