Does this mean the applicant doesn’t interact with the team before getting hired? This seems strange to me. I would like to interact with team members before I accept a job.
Maybe we should think of it in a different way.

Resource allocation.
I was under the impression that was already the case with all Intel processors.
Exactly, in all cases the disruption was localized, and the broader power structures were largely unaffected. The richest among us - the owner class - were not significantly affected by all of these disruptions. They owned diversified portfolios, weathered the changes, and came out with an even greater share of wealth and power. Those who were most affected by the disruptions you listed were the employees of those companies/industries - not the owners/investors.
Why should I pay you more than some other remote worker
in India, who'll work for a third of your pay?

You know they have plenty of bossy assholes in India too, right? Hell, GPT3 could probably do 80% of most managers' jobs already...
> And the facts too often do not support it. States and localities spend about $95 billion annually wooing corporations with tax incentive deals, and most of the evidence shows that they receive little for it in terms of real economic benefits. The loser is the public, whose tax dollars could otherwise be spent on public services that provide something of value.

There’s another loser: the companies/entrepreneurs that do not get these tax benefits and are disadvantaged in the market.
People are nagging about HR but did those nagging people done any recruitment on their own?

It is not that you hire 1 person and you have all the time in the world to get to know him/her.

There is limited time, limited information and hundreds of people to be hired with hundreds of applicants.

Hiring is not scaling well, because it is time bound, someone has to read that CV, someone has to make calls. You have to have like 30mins - 1hr chat with applicant. Only way to optimize time is to throw away CVs which is not optimal because you might throw away good candidates.
>, surely the interest from Yale's massive endowment could cover tuition for a much greater number of students?

A lot of endowments (most?) are earmarked for a specific purpose because that was the condition for receiving the charity money from the donator. And funding general tuition often doesn't meet the conditions. (Several articles explain this: https://www.google.com/search?q=ivy+league+endowments+earmar...)

And the alternative of donating "unrestricted" sometimes doesn't have the desired outcome the public wants to see. (E.g. spending on football scoreboard instead of financial aid for students. Previous comment about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26377357 )
This is what comes of neglecting the storage instructions.
Yes. My manager had to intervene. She's the one that told me why I wasn't being forwarded after asking HR.

Some principles do have this already, it depends on the princple. They tend to be more code focused, such as compute properties when possible: https://principles.dev/p/compute-properties-when-possible/

It would be hard to do it for every case, as principles interact together to create more complex behaviors. I'll be discussing this more in "emergent behaviors" in "principle-driven engineering" at some point. But the essence is architecture can arise from a few principles together. It's a bottom up approach to architecture where team members understand the "why" so there are shared mental models between the team.

I think those are the distance metrics, which is what produces inductive bias, which is the core essence of what we consider 'intelligence'. - Consider a more complicated metric like a graph distance with a bit of interesting topology. That metric is the unit by which the feature space is uniformly reduced. Things which are not linearized by the metric are considered noise, so this forms a heuristic which overlooks features which may have been in reality salient. - This makes it an inductive bias.

Eh, I love my company and I love my coworkers and I’m unbelievably excited to see them in person.

In fact, I’ve already started going back into the office (since April) and 1) my productivity is easily 5-10x what it was before 2) I’ve had amazing so many conversations that never happened over zoom — both productive and personal - and as more of our company’s employees return over the coming months I’m even excited for more.

Most other engineers here that I’ve talked to have expressed the same sentiment. Over 50% of our SF office (hundreds of employees) has already voluntarily signed up to return over the next few weeks.

Maybe I’ll switch to a WFH company when I’m ready to start a family or something, but for now — I love my team and I can’t wait to all be back together.

Kobo Elipsa Review – the largest mainstream e-reader
Genuine question: Do you mean in terms of innovation or marketing?
I consulted at GS for a public web project and their security team were not only smart, but very well integrated into the dev process. They had a dedicated security team who would do routine code reviews, pen tests and the like. If they had specific requirements like adding captcha or barring IPs, they would put them in our backlog fully groomed and prioritized. They were very thorough but not iron-fisted gatekeepers.
But wouldn't a machine learning AGPL code it be hosting AGPL code in its memory?
> Possibly Ghandi and India's independence? I would expect if British were still a major global force after WWII and were willing to project it, there would have to be a (successful) regular war for independence.

First, that's speculation about an imagined history, not evidence. Regardless, protest can be an influence without, by itself, being decisive. Protestors don't have absolute power (a horrible idea, even to most protestors!). No single factor is decisive by itself.
This "curated" list has hundreds of volumes. I wonder what an uncurated list would look like.

In practice, the typical software developer is not terribly well-read. The number of (non-mandatory) volumes most devs read (not just use as bookshelf decoration) is probably in the lower single digits. If you read one software engineering book a year, you are probably in the top 5%.
Why are they sunsetting it?
Nothing would get built if 100% accurate estimates were given. Finance would say it's too expensive and that would be that.
Maybe they are using it as argument for wage negotiations. Kind of "you are clearly under qualified but we can still make use of your meager skills if you work twice as long for half the money". Don't quite remember if Facebook was part of that wage dumping agreement Google and Apple participated in.
Sadly, this is probably very true, they will rinse and repeat with a deeper war chest.
I'm not sure it needs to be "fixed." Certain systems probably can be run for decades without meaningful updates as long as security vulnerabilities are properly addressed. For air-gapped systems you can potentially run with no updates/patches for many, many decades. The main issue is hardware support life-cycle.

> but only by draining aquifers and polluting waterways.

That's by choice, not by necessity. It would certainly be possible to feed 8 billion people in a more sustainable fashion, but it would cost more. Some people can't afford to pay more (or would need assistance to do so) and most don't want to pay more.
It's going to take awhile to break all this down, management wants an estimate of how long these estimates will take. :\
While I wouldn't consider what you do violence, doesn't something like putting your hand on his shoulder work?
Nothing new, certainly, but still worth examining. If we are not content with the current power structures, then we should be wary of changes that further intensify them.

We need not totally avoid such changes (i.e. shun technological advancements entirely because of their social ramifications), but we need to be mindful of their effects if we want to improve our current situation regarding the distribution/concentration of wealth and power in the world.
I'm not sure what you mean, it says right there in the article that the 32->64 stuff is done in user mode and that there are thunks in the 32-bit binaries.
It seems strange to assume anything truly "philosophical" when the main topic of the book is something as practical as software engineering/design.

Even if he did try to shoehorn a few bits of metaphysics in, most of the book would've had to lean more on the practical side of the domain.
Fungi serve an important role in nature.
I think if you are going to start as a software dev in a role where you wont be interacting with management or clients, your stellar business experience wont be utilized, and you would be downgrading your career tragectory,

If you are able to secure a software dev job with mostly management - interacting with clients or VPs and management - you will be able to utilize your previous busienss experience. I'm not exactly sure what type of role that is, so thats something you will have to explore further, but im sure there are roles that fall into this category.

A lot of the IT consulting firms need good engineers who will interact with client dev leadership/client business leadership, that sounds like a role that might be a good fit, but the IT consulting firms really need good people who are willing to work their tails off in those roles if you are up for it.
But in person companies believe that personal interactions will make the people they can hire better than the WFH companies so it works out.

WFH is hard to manage. A lot of things that get shared in "hallway communication" become formal meetings. I make no claim as to who is right, but there are downsides to everything.
> you don't have a reliable way to determine when the bridge is no longer safe

I have a hard time believing this. Despite the ridiculous claims of another poster in this thread (that rebar just spontaneously and completely turns into rust) properly formulated and surfaced concrete and steel don't just rot on the inside with no external signs of decay. If you have repeated water intrusion, you will see seeping and cracks. If you have increasing stress, you'll see spalling. You can core concrete, drill out and patch rebar if you have spot damage.

In general I find the sentiments in this thread bizarre since the vast majority of long-lasting buildings now and in the past century are made of concrete (many of the more modern ones have a concrete foundation and wood or steel superstructure). You don't see many old wood structures because most of them decayed and were torn down - there's a reason why you don't see many wooden bridges standing. Concrete is the closest thing that we have structurally to something that can last forever, and we're learning more about how to make it last longer all the time.

Let me know if you have links that discuss maintainability of concrete in this context. Would be glad to learn more.
I prefer to not give exact estimates whenever possible as the unknowns will ruin your estimate anyway.

If necessary I prefer to get very clear what is needed to [make that sale/give that demo/whatever they need] and give a very conservative range with a bunch of caveats. The more flexible the requirements and timeline the better. It means with a bit of luck you can deliver early and/or throw in some bonus stuff at the end.

If you are inevitably going to miss a deadline, discuss it as early as possible and discuss how to proceed, where to focus etc. You can often reduce the scope, cut more corners, move the deadline, find more resources, or do damage control. Whatever is necessary.

That's why I don't think (accurate) estimates matter too much, it's more about communication, managing expectations, and being flexible enough to adapt along the way.
I actually did look them all up after posting this comment, and you're right. And Microsoft says they have offices in Waukesha and Wauwatosa but it looks like they both point to a sales-only office in downtown Milwaukee.
Nope. In this definition of intelligence planning is part of the model. The model includes a probability distribution over all possible plans, just like GPT-3 includes a probability distribution over all possible news articles.
I'm sorry but this "copilot" is train off you and you are helping it, not the other way around.
Not from what I see. A vcpu is a hyperthread for most Intel instances.
> Except that women and minorities tend to be easily discouraged

This reverse-sexism/racism reads as if you believe on an ideological level that women and minorities have inferior character defects and need special accommodations.
It would seem to me that a public official signing an NDA is the government restricting speech.
It seems to me like this is the proper takeaway here.

In general I agree tech job ads have requirements that don’t make sense. But here it seems like they already know who they’re going to hire, whether it’s Abrash or someone else.
Sounds like a nightmare if you ever have to go under SOC2.
I listened to a Cartalk or maybe This American Life segment many years ago that asked the question “Are two people talking about something they do not know anything about better or worse off after talking about it?”

The consensus was that the downside risk is the two people coming to various conclusions even though they knew nothing about it simply due to our cognitive biases and how we interact with each other. Therefore, two people talking about something they do not know anything about might very well be worse off than had they not talked about it at all.
Drama bait.

When I was there Goldmans was very tech focused. They’ve built a lot of interesting stuff internally, including SecDb which has been mentioned elsewhere on this thread.

They rarely talk about it externally though, and it’s all built to facilitate their primary businesses.
The US spends enormous amounts of tax dollars on higher education. The problem is that it spends twice as much per student (adjusted for purchasing power) than the OECD average, so that only covers about half of total spending.
For those hitting the "monthly article limit" paywall, this can always be bypassed on The Atlantic by opening the link in a private window.
It appears so. I've updated the comment with a fresh link.
This comment almost seems to willfully satirize libertarianism. Does it follow that if a goal hasn't been accomplished without a state mandate, it must be impossible?

It might be in this particular case, but to be convincing we would need to show our work, or at least make a more specific argument.
Hey... want to take a guess why Microsoft lets you have unlimited free private repos when they bought GitHub? ;)
Now do Pennsylvania and Arizona.
The thing is, in the Bay Area, suburbs still look absurd because rich people can build anything by greasing the local bureaucracy enough.

It’s obvious if you’ve ever set foot anywhere south of San Francisco: depressing, no common architectural style, really dumb land use, yet somehow you’d need a million permit to change a window on your house.
Steep Curves and Recovery
> But if you read the article and are the readers of the mentioned media outlets you would agree a bit that those are a little dubious (Post852, Winandmac Media etc, Apple Daily included). It's definitely not good to have a sweeping ban, but pretending all non-mainland chinese media is pro democracy and liberal values and not populist (sometimes provocative and radicalised) to attract viewers is a little naive in my humble opinion.

Well, you can express your point of view, but don't tell everyone else what they think. If imperfection were a sin to deny rights and power, then who would have rights and power? Certainly not the Chinese government!
You will find historical records of high temperature spikes. What matters as signal are clusters of high temperatures, and all-time highs.

We're going into high temperature thresholds beyond what is normal for the past 10K years. Almost every year from this point onwards are probably going to bring novelty about high temperatures.

However, we also DON'T want normalization of temperatures, back towards Ice Age levels. So humanity is in a tough squeeze now, preferably wanting stable levels somehow (if science can conclude that to be optimal).

It will be interesting if we can discover links between sun activity and climate as well:
https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/0...

So as usual, this should prove tough to conclude.

It claims that that supplier does not ship to the United States. Is there some way around that?
And with no one mentoring those juniors, it's very unlikely they will ever reach the same level of experience and knowledge to actually start making those kinds of impacts on the product or company.
>500-year floods, 100-year storms, 100-year heat waves, etc. are becoming almost annual / decennial events.

Are you sure?

In the IPCC report, the authors have high confidence in more hot days and nights, but they are less sure about other forms of extreme weather increasing due to climate change. In fact, they mention that, globally, hurricane activity might decrease. Snowfall, forest fires seem to hanging steady.
How do you feel your old process compares to modern agile dev + ci/cd practices? How big was the devops team?
They sent around a form at my work asking everyone what their preference would be. The first guy replied to everyone with his preference: 100% wfh. Since he replied-all, so did everyone else. We got through about 20 employees, all stating their preference as WFH before a manager shut down the reply-all.

A week later we got an email saying people wanted 2-3 days in office.
Presumably it is not a truly unbounded feedback loop, since some process led to ice and permafrost forming in the first place. But I haven't studied that extensively - this is just my intuition.
I'd probably be restoring old computers or working as a museum guide at some computing musem.
If your friend would like to crank out multiple tiny homes, they should look for a company nearby that has automated Light Gauge Steel Framing machines. An example of a manufacturer of such machines is https://www.framecad.com/

Once your design is done, they can easily spit the parts out in an automated fashion, the parts form the wall and roofing panels. The panels are easily trucked to the site and erected.
Not arguing that. Updated the article template to keep others from getting infuriated. ;)
I guess I've heard of another type of gaming of requirements: the H1B thing. The story here goes that they need to demonstrate they looked for someone with the same skills as somebody hired under an H1B. So they post job listings that are extremely specific to the person they hired, that no one can match.

No idea if that's true. I heard it claimed by many. I guess it sounds kinda implausible for a large company, they would need to create possibly thousands of fake job listings.
This is my experience as well
ideas, events, people
> Good and accurate estimation is not just a dev function. It requires buy in and input from the entire business stack.

And in my experience, when people don't want to buy in to doing the whole process up front but they still demand some kind of commitment, the easy way to handle it is:

"We can commit to a date and we'll finish whatever we finish by then, or we can commit to a scope and it will take as long as it takes. But we won't commit to a date and a scope unless we spend the up front time to first figure out every detail of what we need to build."

Stating it like that usually makes people realize how ridiculous it is to commit to something, but you don't know what, but you'll still do it by a certain date. And it makes them feel like you're being willing to work with them/gives them some decision making power.
We're finally going to not renew our Amazon Prime after many years.

We don't have that much need for "free" shipping on cheap Chinese products, and the convenience of the Amazon marketplace is now counter-balanced by the inconvenience of sorting out the fake goods and fake reviews. We are choosing sellers' own marketplaces when we can these days, and just dealing with longer and paid shipping.

Additionally, we are finding that Amazon Prime Video doesn't have so much that we want to watch anymore either, and we are paying for multiple streaming services anyway.
You can tell the condo thing had no BS surrounding it because, well, the television showed footage of it from every angle and actually analyzed, as opposed to the piss poor confusing coverage and engineering analysis on, say, the Vegas shooting.
They don’t pay the highest. And if they paid a lot less everyone would leave.
About a decade ago I wrote a warehouse management system for an ecommerce company so they could have live stock levels on their website (I wrote the ecommerce software it was based on as well). It's all very straightforward until you have to cope with people restocking (putting things back) in the wrong places. Then things go horribly wrong. The lesson is simply that warehouses don't work unless you're really well organised.

I didn't get to build a tiny forklift truck though unfortunately.
