How is that different from the current situation?
Look, it's just a requirement to know the weather 3 months in advance. A lot of money is riding on this: agricultural impacts, shipping, the effect on consumer behavior and power generation requirements. Doing without accurate weather reports 3 months out is just not acceptable. Sure, it's hard, but you have to just do it anyway, because it's so important.

...

Except weather reports 3 months out are not reliable, unless they are so vague as to be meaningless. I have frequently encountered people who claim to be able to give accurate software estimates. Inevitably, this means that they simply know how to cut requirements as the promised ship date arrives. Which is a useful skill, but not the same as accurate estimates. I have stopped arguing the point, because it doesn't matter what the reality is, business concerns mean that an estimate is required sometimes. But it doesn't mean anything more than the weather estimate for 3 months from now. If you got it right, you were mostly lucky.
Ok, that still doesn't answer the question of why a small average rise in temperature would lead someone to expect a large rise in peak temperature. Is it possible to make the statistics work? Yes. Is it likely to happen this way? Not as far as I can tell.
We are. Grab a chair.
Or when it's over 52 degrees outside, when "wet bulb" temperature (= a thermometer in a wet cloth) goes over 35, which is what they've been having in Pakistan. At that temperature, the evaporative cooling effect of water (like sweat) is no longer enough to manage temperature, and even fully healthy and hydrated people can die from heat exposure.

I mean I watched people in Canada in the news this morning and thought, why are they still outside in the sun even?

I need to second this ^ there’s nothing harder than a new job (let alone a challenging one!) with a new born. Maybe take a couple of years to really consider what the next move is before doing it. Speak with recruiters, find out what your role will pay at a similar company where you are, what other adjacent roles would pay and whether you’d get a look in, talk about your options for other industries or roles you’re interested in but not qualified for, hell even go for interviews for practice if you think you can (I’m awful at that but people have recommended to me before)

Paul Graham cited 5 hours a day in his recent How to Work Hard essay, but he means 5 hours of serious concentration.
Gonna say something that might trigger you.

You’ll never move ahead working for someone else. And I just don’t mean money. I also mean satisfaction.

You have to consider productizing what you do to curb your dissatisfaction.

Yes, some people are fine
working all their lives and enjoy where they are.

But it sounds like you want to go further.

Make a plan with your life that will buy you more freedom.

Freedom and time is worth more than money. But it comes at a high cost with up front work.

P.S. do the hard work now when the kids are little but spend quality time with them not quantity time. As your career grows you will have incredibly fulfilling times with them when they begin to understand the world. Because by then, you would have purchased more freedom.
I’m in agreement with you that the performance is only a part of why Svelte is so nice.

One way to think about it is that the global average temperature is the average of winter and summer times in the whole earth. So an increase of a few degrees is not what you will experience, which is the local weather.

As per some of the other twitter replies, Co-pilot has offered to fill in the GPL disclaimer in new files.
I really thought Keybase was going to be huge. It had such potential!

I wish it had created a SSO feature to auth 3rd party apps. I think that would have boosted adoption.

I think it's going to rot away, but I really wish it wouldn't.

I really liked the storage and sharing features, the ability to create groups which have git, storage, chat etc that just works. But the devs should have integrated with or made a layer on top of github, gitlab and other git hosting services because a lot of folks wouldn't move their codebase.

I wonder if we'll ever see something similar? "Digital Identity Management" seems like it would be a great use case. What with a wallet feature built in, it seems like there's not much of a leap to having multiple currencies represented there. Plus it could have implemented a password repository or integrated Bitwarden into the storage backend and have the whole thing signed/encrypted by GnuPG.
What's the point? Linux is already open under GPL 2.
Ask a lawyer about Freedom of Information Act. I'm reasonably sure it isn't legal, but by the time you finish all the court cases the information is public because the company is operating thus making it not worth fighting in court.
Yes, but _on mobile_? With details like "graphics hardware and drivers on mobile platforms" and "the mobile graphics pipeline and interaction across display and optics".

I mean obviously a lot of people work in that area but the overlap with AI/ML simultaneously seems very small, for 8+ years in one person.

And of course if you're in research then it's hard to tick boxes like "leading consumer-based projects with industry-wide impact" and "mentoring/influencing senior engineers across organizations" and so on.
They certainly would, and that's why it's a problem. The advert is not designed to find the best candidate. It's designed so that anyone who believes the requirements doesn't apply even if they would be the best candidate. The point is not that you need a masters degree (you don't if they'd accept someone without one); the point is to stop people who don't have masters degrees from applying because the team that wrote the advert don't want to work with people who don't have degrees even if they're as brilliant as Carmack.

Job adverts are filters. Some job adverts are written to encourage certain people not to apply.
I was military first then worked for defense contractors for a decade or so.

Alibaba & Aliexpress _do_ have a clone problem, but the notable distinction is that they don't aggressively comingle listings like Amazon does. This means for some common consumer items (fidget spinners, etc.) you'll find a hundred listings with identical images, slightly varying descriptions, and different factories, but you can easily choose which seller to buy from.

That's John Searle's thought experiment actually. Hilary Putnam had some thoughts in reference to it along the lines that a brain in a vat might think in a language similar to what we would speak, but the words of that language would necessarily encode different meanings due to the different experience of the external world and sensory isolation.

Yes, not surprised by this. There is a difference between a degree and an education. I will repeat this over and over: university is a nursery for young adult who have no idea what to do with their lives.

I'm not discounting higher education, but to me, degrees are a way to filter people by arbitrary forms of selection, and calling that "merit", and then justifying that "losers" deserve their social status because their failed at school.

Universities should be open for everyone, students would help each other, professors and teachers would organize to deliver education the best they can. Students who fail to follow will just stop coming to classes by themselves. There is no need to filter, because eventually, you will filter out students who actually learn and have the potential to use that education.

Just keep universities open.

I'm constantly hearing that teachers and professors spend a large portion of their time filling paperwork, instead of just teaching and helping students.

And I'm not even in the american education system, I live in france, which educate a large portion of the best math students.
Machine learning, data mining and pattern recognition aren't brand new fields in any meaning of the word. I've had classes on them 20 years ago in college and I know a lot of people with 8+ years of experience (including myself). Hell, my dad worked on them when he was in college 40+ years ago.

Facebook pays more than enough to get world class experts so why would they not aim to hire them?
Much of software engineering is based on our habitual learned behaviors through years of experience, and what are habits but behaviours that have been detached from the logic that created them? John re-attaches those habits into principles and gives you the opportunity to see and integrate his mental models.

Depending on your background you're either going to love it or hate it. It's not to say what he's done is wrong or right, just your particular experience is going to colour if you agree with it or not.

For those that love it, if you integrate these principles and get your team to buy in, you're going to have a better software engineering experience and a good source of information to point to back to back up the way you think.

For me, these sort of books represent a maturing of the industry and recognising that software engineering is an abstract team activity that having the right shared principles and shared mental models is the difference between a joyful experience on a team or not.

Shameless plug: I'm also working on community project that captures the best principles in software engineering on https://principles.dev - It's a labour of love, but if you like what I've written above, please contact me. I'd love to get some feedback.

We expect a larger variance in regional temperatures and a higher global average.
Just remember to keep the formulaes for the descending node (or dragon's tail) handy.
The rise of 2 C is the difference between a global annual mean of local daily median temperatures over a 30-year period and an adjusted global annual mean of local daily median temperatures over a 30-year period at the end of last century. It says nothing about variance and does not include precision or accuracy.

It could very well be that everywhere will be 20 or 30 C above the 20th century climatology and the average will still be only 2 C if you truly believe and have faith in the message.

This would be the demise of the human race. I’m not entirely opposed to that, though. When AI inevitably outperforms humans on almost all tasks, who am I to say humans deserve to be given those tasks?
Yep, make sure to scroll down to pick the right answer; which is 4.
I doubt it. The car companies have/had outsourced almost all of their manufacturing other than their core IP, engine production. If it didn't have an engine in it, it wouldn't have been built. They would have produced hybrids, but I doubt we would have seen any pure-EVs outside of hobbiest production or limited run hypercars by today.

Eventually maybe, but Tesla vastly accelerated that schedule.

The second tweet in the thread seems badly off the mark in its understanding of copyright law.

> copyright does not only cover copying and pasting; it covers derivative works. github copilot was trained on open source code and the sum total of everything it knows was drawn from that code. there is no possible interpretation of "derivative" that does not include this

Copyright law is very complicated (remember Google vs Oracle?) and involves a lot of balancing different factors [0]. Simply saying that something is a "derivative work" doesn't establish that it's copyright infringement. An important defense against infringement claims is arguing that the work is "transformative." Obviously "transformative" is a subjective term, but one example is the Supreme Court determining that Google copying Java's API's to a different platform is transformative [1]. There are a lot of other really interesting examples out there [2] involving things like if parodies are fair use (yes) or if satires are fair use (not necessarily). But one way or another, it's hard for me to believe that taking static code and using it to build a code-generating AI wouldn't meet that standard.

As I said, though, copyright law is really complicated, and I'm certainly not a lawyer. I'm sure someone out there could make an argument that Copilot is copyright infringement, but this thread isn't that argument.

Edit: Note that the other comments saying "I'm just going to wrap an entire operating system in 'AI' to do an end run around copyright" are proposing to do something that wouldn't be transformative and therefore probably wouldn't be fair use. Copyright law has a lot of shades of grey and balancing of factors that make it a lot less "hackable" than those of us who live in the world of code might imagine.

Not just a question of capacity. The British Empire almost fell to Hitler's ambitions and while Great Britain was never invaded it definitely looked a lot weaker than what it was supposed to. This meant that the British Empire was far from invincible and definitely led the path to decolonisation.

I understand the FB angle for VR now. I've been playing a lot of Echo VR (recommended BTW) and the social aspect of the game is very important. Unfortunately the "party" and "friend" systems are absolute dog shit in terms of reliability. So many bugs, so often people join a party and can not figure out how to relocate to the game or lobby (even when not full) etc... I understand that between platform calls and in-game party and working across multiple games is challenging. Just saying it's kind of a cluster fuck right now. Given that, this rendering architect position seems like a low priority for FB at this time from where I sit. Huge potential in this though - I have a number of "friends" I really enjoy playing with that I've never met IRL and I'm not much of a gamer.
Your odds of getting an interview don't significantly improve after you meet just 50% of the requirements (40% if you're female): https://talent.works/2018/11/27/the-science-of-the-job-searc...
You forgot one. Amazon uses seller data to target which products they will produce under their own Amazon brand. So creative entrepreneurs eventually find they are completing against Amazon directly.

This is why Amazon will eventually be replaced by a company that can do things better, faster, and cheaper.
I recently finished the OMSCS program through Georgia Tech. When I started I had a 6 month old, and when I finished, I had 3 year old and 1.5 year olds (program took 2.5 years). I have a pretty low requirements job, so I was able to get away with doing a considerable amount of it doing work hours, but there was a lot of late nights and weekends too. So, it is possible, but whatever you do make sure your wife is onboard and set expectations.

It has definitely helped me out getting job interviews. It seems like the only way to a considerably higher salary would be to either move to the US or work for a US company remotely. I am in the process of moving position for a 50% raise, so I would say it paid off for me. You have much more experience then I do, so if you are thinking about moving to the US maybe apply to a few jobs(even if you don't want them) and see what kind of offers you can get. If the offers are good enough you can make the move when you are ready, if they aren't what you are expecting maybe look into a masters.
That's exactly the point I want to express - this type of communication design is not bind to microkernel or io_uring or any system. It's a general architecture pattern appears on any cross subsystems communication. Hardware DMA also has a similar design.
Just to elaborate on the "thermometer in a wet cloth" explanation...

If you have water at the wet bulb temperature exposed to ambient air, then evaporation and condensation are in equilibrium. Above the wet bulb temperature, there is more evaporation, transferring heat from the water to ambient air. Below it, there is more condensation, transferring heat from ambient air to the water.

Except at 100% humidity, this is higher than the dew point, which is the temperature where water spontaneously condenses out of the air.
Nuclear power currently makes up 20% of US electrical power. Fossil fuels are 60% of grid electricity. Multiply by 3 and you are there in the US. France is at 70% so they are already there. I don't see any significant deaths from nuclear power there.

I agree that nuclear isn't currently a great solution for stuff like trucks and planes. However for baseline power generation it is one of the best low carbon energy solutions when taking into account storage costs to provide constant power from intermittent sources like wind and solar.
Over 10 years ago, James Hansen called future extreme events "Rolling a Thirteen". You were suspecting the two dice you were rolling were not regular anymore, because the average had crept upwards, but after rolling a thirteen, you know.

Another tip I’ve seen, if you have heat over 100 you’re not supposed to use a fan. The moving air removes the cooler air slightly above the skin and replaces it with warmer air. Under 100 it’s good to use a fan.

Running water (such as a stream) is going to likely be better as you rarely have 100 degree water, but I’m assuming the same applies.
He mentioned that the Linux-like kernel will be closed source which violates GPL
The problem is that for now, it's still a statistical anomaly, like the snow in Brazil is; it's uncommon, but if it's only a few days, it's going to be a blip on the radar and only a few tenths of a degree in annual statistics.

The temperature at the moment is weather; annual and multi-year statistics is climate.

Another commenter posted https://twitter.com/RARohde/status/1410157638109872134?s=19, which shows this is a statistical anomaly; only when this kind of weather happens year on year, and when the averages go up, can you speak of climate change.

(disclaimer: just being devil's advocate, climate change is real and "freak weather events" are becoming so common now that you can't deny it being a trend and the direct effect of global climate change)
And members of all political parties, even the ones who supposedly are in "agreement" on climate change take private jets to fly all over the world.
By uploading your content to GitHub, you’ve granted them a license to use that content to “improve the Service over time”, as specified in the ToS[1].

That effectively “overrides” any license or term that you’ve specified for your repository, since you’ve already licensed the content to GitHub under different terms. Of course, people who are not GitHub are beholden to the terms you specify.

You know, if you hire me as a Scrum / Agile Expert Consultant (tm), I can get your development department so efficient, you can outsource it all and save a ton of money. Payment in full required up front.

Yes that's the point.

But if I do it under a copyleft license like GPL, I expect those who copy to abide by the license and open source their own code too.

But sure, people shit on IP rights all the time, and I am guilty of it too. Let's say I didn't pay what I should have paid for every piece of software I have used.
Are they not spraying up there to help mitigate this?
I keep wondering how much time it could possibly save you, given that you're obligated to read the code and make sure it makes sense. Given that, the testimonials here are very surprising to me.
You get to make changes without having to respect the GPL and thus no longer obligated to provide those changes to your end users, as you have effectively laundered the kernel source code by passing it through an "AI" and get to relicense the end result.
Not contradicting what you wrote per se, but a master's degree in a European context usually does not mean an MBA. And also tends to be quite common to get a master's/MSc while you're at it.
