No, lithium is a mood stabilizer. It is mainly used to treat manic episodes in bipolar disorders and is not a particularly effective treatment for major depression.

I doubt drinking water contains anything close to therapeutic doses of lithium.
it’s basically impossible to sustainably 51% Bitcoin or ETH at this point.

You could 51% for an hour (maybe, if you can get that hash rate from nicehash for that long, but I doubt you actually can), but what happens at the end of that hour? Would everyone simply throw their hands up, allow your double spend, and keep mining your chain? Likely not.

Andreas Antonopoulos has a good take on this for Bitcoin:

> Actually, it might be helpful for you to understand that an overwhelming majority of good interviewers are evaluating you on far more signals than just the literal correctness of your answers.

That’s a two way street though. If a candidate gets the feeling that they’re being judged for things that are outside of their control, they might decide that you or your company isn’t worth dealing with. And in this labor market, the candidate might have more options than the hiring manager does.

Some of the things you’re talking about are well within the normal bounds, such as timeliness. But some of the stuff you’re talking about edges up to the “not your business” line. If I felt that an interviewer got annoyed at me for an internet issue, I certainly might come to the conclusion that they’re unreasonable and take a pass.

(I also think your comment is a bit patronizing. I suspect that most people who have interviewed are aware that they’re being judged on more than just their answers)
I still imagine that the manufacturing process for graphene still involves scientists in white lab coats, hunched over sheets of graphite, painstakingly applying scotch tape to it and cautiously lifting it again. That's just the mental picture in my head.
very little, once you prove that an attack of those characteristics is feasible, the entire house of cards where the “value” of those coins is stored, would collapse, and you would gain nothing from it.
Yes and I completely agree with it but sometimes you need to have some money coming in so you go along with it even if a team implementing a micro services architecture says with a straight face they won’t know what all will have direct access to my micro service data store but expect low double digits. The number I would expect was zero!
What are you talking about?

People are probably taking time off out of their workday for the interview. They might very well have other meetings, especially is they are in a senior position.

Taking their current job responsibilities seriously is a good sign for when they'll later work for your company.
Yeah it 100% does - mixing rate is a big design driver. We actually had decided that is was better for our primary effluent pipe to be several KM longer to reach the “coast” vs the smaller bay that we were immediately adjacent to.

But even then, if the ends of your system are in 50’ deep ocean, the water column is such that the top ~10% sees really good mixing and exchange due to wind and wave action but the rest really doesn’t. It’s rare that there are strong currents near enough coastlines to take advantage of.
It also neglects to filter for areas and renders them as if they were a road loop.

The classic "we achieve SOTA on ImageNet by using a novel training procedure" where they just played with learning rate schedules until they got 0.1% over previous SOTA.

To be fair to there are a lot of smells in DL papers, usually you can tell whether an approach is worth your time by looking at code availability, lab, previous publications and the conference where it was published.
Software engineers should be excited about their company's product because they are the only ones who can see how software can solve the customer's problem.

Business people can say AI can help business, but they don't know how AI can solve which problem in the existing process. For example, search engine was once a cranky tool in the web. It is not usable, everyone hated it. A guy should assemble a "coding" for the query to get a good result. Before it was cool, PageRank algorithm was a lab thing in the past, but until Sergey Brin and Larry Page used it for search engine, it
changes how search engine works and everyone finally loves search engine because they don't need to assemble a complex query anymore, but simply throw some keywords. You name that company, Google.
It beats other big names at that time, such as Yahoo, Lycos, etc.

Back to your case, I think the company wants it happen for them, like Google.
> Is it really "locking" when putting bitcoins on LN actually make them easily spendable with very little fees?

Merchants don’t want to spend, they want to receive. Why should a merchant have to lock e.g. $100k worth of bitcoins at the beginning of the month (in a payment channel connected to a gateway) just in order to receive that amount from consumers during that month?

No other payment system in the world requires this.
unique_ptr is simple and and easy to use for individually managed memory. shared_ptr can dramatically simplify some concurrent code, as well.

For arena allocated memory, you have to manage the lifetimes manually just as you would for C -- except that the arena itself can be lexically scoped, at least.

C++ is not a perfect language by any means, but destructors are not a mistake IMO. I too find having to manually "defer" cleanup annoying. I'm still interested in zig for the comptime features, though.
On the press release link (idk why it's like the same page but basically longer) there's some more highlights. It seems that there are friendly ports:

Because the attack surface is low. You can only stop transactions from happening (by mining an empty blog). You can’t change the past. Hence not worth it? Unless you can make a big purchase using the coin and then change history? There are still checkpoints implemented by clients so forcing the network to go backwards might be hard. So yeah POW doesn’t give you much attack scenarios after all.

FB has an almost bottomless budget re time, designers, and coding power. They have UX experts combing over ever pixel on every page. I simply can't believe that they were incompetent re Events.
"How is the attack cost calculated?
Using the prices NiceHash lists for different algorithms we are able to calculate how much it would cost to rent enough hashing power to match the current network hashing power for an hour. Nicehash does not have enough hashing power for most larger coins, so we also calculated what percentage of the needed hashing power is available from Nicehash.

Note that the attack cost does not include the block rewards that the miner will receive for mining. In some cases this can be quite significant, and reduce the attack cost by up to 80%."
>Where you draw the line for "middle class" is somewhat arbitrary

It’s a convention so, yes, it’s arbitrary (and people tend to change that definition to fit their points, and of course it’s relative to COL) but the most widely used definition is the middle quintiles. I believe this puts the upper bound around $120k for a household (not individual) in the US.

And you’re right, most people do consider themselves middle class. Some studies show as much as 90% of people think they are middle class which, unless we use a very loose statistical definition, is obviously false. The problem is people subjectively compare their life to their own peer group rather than society as a whole, so they are misled about defining the societal norm.

I mean you can say this same thing about several countries. USA, Russia, China all come to mind. Turns out countries with power often act similarly as people with power, unethically in order to advance their own interests. It's not just a "someone needs to stop china" problem, it's more systemic. Stopping china from doing this one thing is just treating symptoms, not the underlying cause.

Fishery regulation cheating is pervasive everywhere, almost none of these rules have working teeth. Every ocean species for which there is a market anywhere is being catastrophically overexploited, regardless of what regulations say.

That said, I guess... I'm actually OK with jingoist anti-China hatred in this particular case if it helps drive attention to a genuine ecological catastrophe? The woke hippies welcome you aboard, mate.

Bongard puzzles are pretty much the same as the test matrices in IQ tests, which annoy me in the exact same way these Bongard puzzles do. If you'd ask people questions in the same manner these puzzles do, they would refuse to answer because they'd feel trolled. Arguably, that's the case.

No / yes / only once.

It's just an mprotect(2) call to change the page from R+W to R+X. It needs to happen between the JIT being done creating a hunk of code and the first execution. Basically: allocate a page, write generated machine code to the page, change page to executable, patch page in (so the code gets invoked instead of either interpretation or a baseline compiler).

I'm sure you can be smarter about it and involve locks such that you track how full "code pages" are and switch non-full pages back to writeable in order to update their content.
In my opinion, that's the largest selling point of mRNA vaccines. In 4 weeks you can have the entire world's productivity capacity changed into whatever vaccine you deem urgent, and when it's not urgent, you can just store it in a computer's hard drive.

Once this is possible¹, we can ask governments to keep some extra capacity unused to respond to emergencies. What is different from any previous tech, where extra capacity would be useless nearly every time.

Ruby is interesting because everything is an object like smalltalk but matz was also directly inspired by emacs lisp. I think it shows that you don’t need to only live in one world despite the evangelists on both sides demanding purity.
This + the honest miners would just fork the chain. Your double spend would only apply on your fork. But before it even gets to that point anyone smart enough to get that much hash power up and running would realize it’s more profitable to simply honestly mine, because for a sufficiently mature coin you’ll be found out and forked off quickly.
>> You're deferring consumption until you have the resources

But the point is that everyone is deferring consumption until some time in the future but that perfect time when you can cash out all at once never actually happens (note that a blockchain is public so it's not possible to quietly sell your assets without drawing attention and crashing prices; especially for people who own a lot of the asset). Traders can easily front-run you if you attempt any large sale.

On the other hand, fiat provides many opportunities for billionaires to cash out and pass the costs onto regular tax payers. The pandemic was a perfect example of that; the reserve banks printed a ton of cash which propped up the markets and allowed billionaires to cash out huge sums without causing any crash.

Also, there will always be a new up-and-coming tightly-HODLED coin by a younger generation to compete with yours.
I am on video calls a lot and have even been doing (obviously remote) video recordings. I have "good" Internet, which is to say it is "occasionally" glitchy which is to say less than often but more than rarely. Not often enough to persuade Comcast that something in wrong.

Murphy's Law suggests that that one of the times it glitches will be during something important. (It has done so during a couple semi-important things over the past 18 months.) Absolutely nothing I can do about this although I try to fall back to cell phone--although doesn't really work for video.
I suppose most big-enough metropolitan areas are like this. Mexico city is now (technically) a "state" with a few different cities (municipalities) which are nontheless seamlessly blended together.
> I think lightning needs economy of scales in order to minimize the bitcoins "locked" perception, because once you can pay lots of your needs with lightning then those bitcoins are not "locked" anymore.

What do you base this assumption on? Once there’s a gateway between a consumer and a merchant, then sending e.g. 0.001 BTC from the consumer to the merchant happens by the consumer sending it to the gateway in one payment channel, and the gateway sending the same amount to the merchant in a separate payment channel. It’s atomic, so the funds are guaranteed to arrive, but it requires locking the amount that the merchant expects to receive in a payment channel between it and the gateway. This is how the LN protocol works.
I think the big reason for KS's flat reputation vs places like Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Delaware is trees (or lack thereof). In SW Kansas (the flattest part of the state) you can drive for miles and miles of endless flatness without hardly seeing a single tree. There is just nothing that disrupts your view of the horizon. It is a bit of a different experience then being in a flat forest/swamp.

(Also, the terrain of eastern/central KS is very different from the west. So if your only experience of KS is Wichita/Kansas City/Topeka, then you don't know how truly flat the other half of the state actually is...)

There are still unsolved problems with documentation that I'd like to find solutions for.

Everything can be made into code, but at a certain point it's just so complicated to do that you're spending more time and money automating your docs than your applications. So until we have solutions for all that, you will have to maintain some docs manually.

For those manual docs, how do you keep them fresh? I've thought of automatically sending an email to warn that in 30 days the document would be deleted unless someone updated it, but even if people agreed to such a system, they could just update some punctuation and it would remain stale. Even blank pages, people seem to want to keep around rather than fix.

How do you navigate your docs? Search engines actually suck for the most part. Search is a hard problem to solve, and a home rolled search will usually net terrible results. On the other hand, most people don't have the time to maintain a governance structure for their docs, much less an enforcement mechanism, so the docs invariably become terribly organized.

People also seem to need training to learn how to write good docs. I know there are some trendy pages being passed around about some kind of "golden framework for docs" but they don't explain how to write them either. I know how to write docs, but I feel like I'd need to write a whole book to get it across. One thing I found really useful was Atlassian's newer Confluence page templates, which come well organized and primed with examples of how to write the docs.

As a philosophy, I really, really love GitLab's Handbook First model. Their handbook is incredibly detailed and covers pretty much their whole organization, and is fairly easy to update. I feel like this one one of the magical missing links in getting more documentation for the important things that aren't code.
Mostly just chip/memory wise tho, their outer design is jewlrey

I prefer plastic components much of the time in electronics. CNC aluminum - sorry, aluminium, and glass are really overutilized.

The fascinating question is what happens if China tries to back this up with force. The US would probably feel the need to intervene, but I’m sure most of South America would be more than a bit wary having American war ships in the area given what we’ve done down there. On the other hand, better than Chinese warships perhaps?
It's actually this exact attitude that kept it out of the media. I'm curious: what is your goal? Everyone can see the glaringly obvious circumstantial evidence that it was a lab leak. At this point, comments like your's just look ridiculous.
Stitch Fix: A Strategy Fit for the Occasion
The author's point is pretty clearly made: CFAA is too vague. If your interpretation was "yeah but what about the democrat appointed prosecutor?", then you're not wrong, what Ortiz did is definitely reprehensible and part of the problem. But you're missing the point: the problem is with the law as it was written under Reagan.

And to be honest, this kind of whataboutism feels motivated by partisanship more than anything else, which makes it unlikely that anyone will want to engage with you.

Ray tracing and mesh shaders aren't supported by mobile, macOS, or by roughly 90% of desktop systems. I don't think it is a deal breaker that WebGPU isn't planning to include them in their 1.0 release.

That said, I do agree that how the group does at evolving the API over the 5+ year range will determine its long term success.
There's a reason the experts sided with Keynes as you mention (or others like Milton Friedman). Flaws were found in Hayek's reasoning that made his models simply fail to add up.

Free Tool to Easily Isolate Risky Activities on PCs
Agreed. Maybe there are ways to have a single agent and still have internal competition.

An organism (biological or otherwise) could have competing internal parts/models, and not be constrained by the mechanism by which natural selection operates now, i.e. biological reproduction.

So multiple subagents could compete within it, without posing an existential threat to the physical manifestation of the organism itself; somewhat analogous to redundant computers making decisions by consensus in e.g. spacecraft.
