DeepRapper: Neural Rap Generation with Rhyme and Rhythm Modeling
Taking a high-level employee which may turn out not to be a good fit is a huge risk for any manager. So unless your specialization is a good fit and on top of that you have stellar feedback (or they just can’t find any people at all) they are very reluctant to agree to your transfer. Naturally this limits options for high-level employees (L6+) at any given work site.

Effectively highest-level employees at Google don’t have a choice to what to work on at all. I.e. top-level directors are told what projects to lead.
The answer is in the question.
I live in Sweden, the west coast. A friend is from the UK and he described my town as a paradise compared to London.

The ocean is like 10-30 minutes away. The coast line is incredible and free for all to enjoy.

He describes his work in London as strict dress code. 1+h sweaty and crowdy train+metro rides(and the same to get home). Long work days.

Dressing is casual. Work is probably <30 mins by car(I have 15 mins single-way, car and bike take similar times).
I even have coworkers who jog to work a few times a week. Showers and sauna are available at work. Work hours are flexible.

He said good food is cheap here. There are excellent restaurants that cost much less than similar ones in London.

Since mid-March, I've been taking 2-3h lunches on the cliffs by the ocean if it's a sunny day. Just laying there listening to the nature. Takes 20 minutes door to ocean for me.

For me this is a high quality of life. How can you put a price on things like this, especially when you(stereotypical US IT worker) have little to no paid vacation, work 8-12h a day, sometimes even on the weekends?
Unfortunately, I’ve yet to come across a major application on linux that handles this condition gracefully.
You're not really addressing what I've said. Sure, formal verification and ensuring code coverage is a higher standard of verification than unit testing. But that doesn't mean your unit testing provides literally the same probability of finding the bug as completely random test inputs. If you're writing decent tests your chance of finding that bug isn't 1%, it's way higher.

In fact I think your entire appraoch to this is wrong.

>Given that most people don’t know what MC/DC or the category partition method are, I doubt that there are many actually effective test suites out there.

Given that most people aren't writing software to go into safety critical applications, it doesn't make sense for them to be designing their test suites to that standard. What I'm saying is that this method of testing boils down to hoping that the master is correct (which it probably isn't) and then trusting someone else's tool to provide coverage for you. This is worse than writing unit tests because the tool you've handed responsibility to for coverage doesn't know anything about your device under test and therefore can't direct it's tests to maximize the likelihood of finding errors. At the very least writing a simple model to test against would be more effective because you'd expose bugs in the detail-orientated implementation.
This advice often comes up, and I’m sorta in the same boat as OP (the difference being that I’ve written software for the last ten years but never stayed longer than 18 months at a place for similar feelings OP has)

I’ve often considered entrepreneurship but always felt this wasn’t right either. Making any amount of money (let alone enough to replace your day job) is a multi year adventure of very long hours. And even then it has a very high chance of failing. So it’s a huge investment for several years with very little chance of any payoff. You’re almost always better off working for someone else money wise and across the board (unless you’re both skilled and lucky, which means well above average, which by definition excludes at least half of people)

What I’m doing now is working at an easy but mind numbingly boring job where the software quality is abysmal. It’s a tough change because I was used to startups with decent standards (unit testing, code reviews…) but it freed me to let go. I don’t care at all about the product. I don’t care if it succeeds or not (it never should but because our customers are captive vis regulations they have to keep buying from us)

I negotiated to be paid well enough (mostly based on my previous experience at better companies and the knowledge I got from it) which helps some. And I put in my 40h (I always refuse overtime), take the paycheck, save 70% of it. Working from home has been awesome because I can limit work to a few hours a day before I go mad and still not lose the rest of the time I’d normally be stuck at the office without much to do (poor planning on my betters’ part). This lets me see the end of the tunnel ins few years where I’ll be able to quit working if I want to (and I’m pretty sure I’ll want to), 30–40 years earlier than most.

All this to say that if you can write software but don’t feel like starting your own company then this could be a valid option too. And you don’t even have to play the corporate game because you’re only in it for 10 years so don’t really care about promotions etc. Where I work managers are paid 20% more (before tax!) than individual contributors but they get 10x the headaches and longer hours. No thanks.
Find a good therapist and look into mindfullness meditation. I recommend reading the book The Mind Illuminuated.
Smaller companies have far less stringent requirements and often don't require a degree.

> Any place where smart people congregate have gatekeepers.

Requiring a degree, especially at lower levels, isn't necessarily gatekeeping. I've been on the hiring side at 3 companies and every job listing we've made has had dozens of applicants for one role. Given the choice between two juniors who are otherwise equal(read: no experience), one with a (CS/engineering) degree and one without, why would I ever hire the latter?
You can't say you have a degree in computer science, but you can certainly learn and practice the theory and concepts just as well as anyone else. And to that end: I see lots of good material!

Sure, you can: Forth works too. But C is the standard (in my world anyway) so it would be c++ or rust. C++ already is used but Rust I have not seen yet.
Right now there are students who have trouble opening up algebraic expressions or forget to cancel negatives in multiplication while doing exercises on advanced concepts. All for lack of practice.

Twitter users at this scale often have content teams that post for them. Also, 1/hour is 24/day which you can easily reach by making 2-3 original posts and then spamming out a few short replies to comments. Should not take more than 1 or 2 hours of your day if you find your proper groove.

Fortunately K8s is _not_ a Google owned project. It's managed by the CNCF which spans many different companies. Yes, there are a lot of Google people involved, but it really is a community project. Maybe I'm being naive but that's how I see it at least.
Thanks for the link!

Most folk think that Computing is all technical but it is still a people business. It also helps me to think of it as people engineering.
Most companies also have unpaid LOA (leave of absence). Also, you might be able to talk to your boss (or bosses boss) to see if they can make it happen.

I know people who quit without having another gig lined up. Haven't done it myself.
yes, common sense. people are known to get decapitated on impact. limbs flying everywhere because of the accelerations involved. traditional helmets get ground on asphalt enough to develop actual holes. what makes you think something worn on head has this magical qualities defying the laws of physics?
> does it matter whether it is Apple or Google who is holding the physical data?

It might matter, yes. A company run by a guy like Eric Schmidt is a lot more likely to play nice with the US government when it comes to privacy compared to a company run by a guy like Cook, who from the outside seems obsessed with user-privacy (as long as China isn't directly involved).
Radar is a critical component of Autopilot and every other automatic cruise control system to my knowledge. So it was almost certainly active. A Tesla with failed radar system would not allow the driver to engage AP.
I think it's a semantic misunderstanding. In the original question "object" was meant as a "physical object", as opposed to a kind of phenomenon like reflection and so on. You have used a more philosophical definition of subject-object dichotomy.

On an unrelated note, I've seen a couple of books whose authors claim UFOs are actually subject-related phenomena.
Under universal healthcare, a Google employee surely pays many more people’s insurance bills than his own.

very much true.

better computer scientist needs interaction with other people, needs to learn to respect their views or at least understand them, evaluate. perhaps needs to meet other scientists. to exchange ideas and approaches. this is what schools and academia is for.

this whole self-taught thing is a time-bomb. we already have too many self-taught engineers, architects and what-nots who can only work with themselves, listen to themselves, and agree to their own designs. not okay.

being good at anything more often than not means also being good in working with people.

even though you can also call yourself better piper or better kiter, doesn't mean you actually are better at anything just like this.

From context, I thought you were suggesting the strategy "just type pirated proprietary code into the IDE and the Copilot plugin will automatically include it in the training data", since my earlier comment was about the difficulty of training Copilot on such code. I don't believe they won't abuse your work in other ways either.
Your fallacy is assuming that Twitter is the same thing for everyone. I have none of what you describe in my timeline, mostly because I don't go out of my way to search for this stuff.

Your argument is not unlike "why is the government supporting the printing of books when some books contain inflammatory speech and bomb building manuals" (though obviously not a 1:1 equivalence because books don't have algorithmic recommendations by themselves).

Less cars is also a good thing
Answered further down, but this take seems very pessimistic. So what if this doesn't result in a computer science degree? It absolutely will result in a deeper understanding of the theory of computer science, its practical uses in software development, and a hardware level understanding of how computation works in practice.

That's nothing to sneer at.
It doesn't solve the issue.
GPL people would have taken the BSD code, do a minor change, and force everyone to redistribute the source-code under GPL.

Really terrible license.
I think it's more fair to compare Medium to Ghost (https://ghost.org/). It has all the tools for writing, publishing, maintaining subscriber databases and even payments.

Self hosted or hosted by ghost. You have all the options.
Let’s face it: the GPL is becoming irrelevant and is displaced by permissive licenses. Projects using the GPL are increasingly held back and are losing favour among developers. Like LLVM is a very active and innovative platform, whereas GCC is essentially stuck in its original scope.

Why? Because the world is more complicated than the FSF ideologues want it to be. Developers do not collectively or exclusively want to work for free and live a life of poverty.

Not to mention that the GPL is simply too risky and expensive to use in any commercial context. There are countless lawyers consulting organisations on how to avoid the viral aspects of GPL-licensed code. And since case law is scarce, more often than not the advice will be: avoid the (A)GPL like the plague.

The only meaningful and morally acceptable “copyleft” license is the LGPL, which asks you to give back without being the license cancer that is the (A)GPL.

YouTuber TechLead Accused of Scam as Million Token Plummets
Messing around with every single byte is a property of low-level languages. There is absolutely nothing C does differently than C++ or Rust. Hell, it may even be slower due to not having proper abstraction powers and programmers thus lazily choose the easier route with eg. linked lists. Also, due to rust’s semantics it can get better optimizations due to no pointer aliasing.
Yes and no. You can get SQL dumps (although XML is more common), but it doesn't contain any useful structure. The article content is just wikitext, and only metadata such as revisions are structured.

Product Walk Through: Majoto – Google Workspace Contracting
I can't tell why this is on the front page of HN. Is the implication that Google would spy on Apple customer's data stored on Google Cloud? Google is evil/dumb/both at times but that's completely outlandish.

I do find it interesting that Apple could be one of Google's biggest Cloud clients though, that's very surprising.
It kinda forgets one very small detail.

Getting there is requires almost twice as much delta v as to Mars or Venus. Also, since you are going deep into Sun's gravity well, getting from there to practically anywhere is going to be very expensive. Setting a base on Mars actually helps further colonization as you are setting further from Sun on a planet with less gravity.

Though my understanding is that future of space exploration is going to be swarms of robotic factories that can replicate itself from minerals from asteroids.
A complete specification also must include assumptions about external systems and limits.

Here the assumptions are infinite stack (or item count < stack size limit) and a malloc that never fails.

Incomplete specs are just as bad as buggy code. I'd even argue that incomplete specs are worse in this scenario, because the "proven correctness" gives a false sense of security.
That's why I deliberately used Australian English as an example. It's not clear why most people would intuitively not stigmatize a speaker of Australian English, but (consciously or otherwise) simultaneously stigmatize a speaker of AAVE, or even someone who speaks perfectly grammatical Standard American English, but merely with an African American accent. In the latter case, they're both just grammatical standard english with different pronounciation. (if anything, an African American speaking grammatical Standard English, with an African American accent only, is less foreign, since the speaker is speaking, well, standard American English, whereas the Australian would be speaking not only with different pronounciation but with slightly different grammar and vocab etc as well) Is it because Australian English is an official prestige standard, albeit not in North America?

> Instead of telling a student that his English is wrong, instruct him in the differences been his vernacular and the standard dialect.

I agree, but sadly while this seems to be the consensus advice from linguists, in practice, telling people their manner of speech is wrong (explicitly or through just stigmatizing them in other ways) is still widespread both in schools, at work and in other contexts.
I think that the issue at hand is that there is no middle ground license that is made for the community and for businesses in mind and instead its either one extreme or the other.

Also its really annoying people say gpl is some anti corporation license or a license for the community, since Stallman has been explicitly clear its about giving "freedom" to the end user
What are you going to do in retirement? I read an article recently about how people tend not to really change their life or behaviors once they 'retire', i.e. those plans to completely reinvent yourself are not entirely realized.

For example, me - I kept pushing off my impulses to ditch IT to work on the novel/play/screenplay... a compulsion kept me focused on the job despite going thru what you are a few times. It was that creative drive, I guess and I could never redirect it. And "responsibility", getting money for my hobby, etc. So what am I doing now, now that I've "officially" mostly retired (aka not looking for a job because interviews suck and why aren't in management and you're too old / can't code like leet 20 year olds...)

Am I working on that novel? No, I'm chasing down a bug in scikit right now so I can finish this ML research paper. Christ... And I don't even have to write this paper, I'm doing it for the hell of it. Maybe someday someone will read this paper (or the next couple) and get something useful out of it.

I guess what I'd say is figure really figure out "why" you did all the things you did and what motivated you despite all the headaches. For me, it was the idea of "service" (once I got past the ego trip of being in my 20s/early 30s) - my role was to create some bit of order in the universe for people or whatever that needed it in the way of IT stuff. That has what carried me along despite working (unknowingly) for sociopaths with actual criminal records a few times (don't ask...) Businesspeople, capitalism... don't get me started.

If you can't afford to quit now, then find some sort of external motivator like "service" to keep you going. Or perhaps a completely different tech to deal with - have you experienced the full scope of all of it?

Or perhaps this is a roundabout way of saying "get a hobby". IT has always been fundamentally a hobby for me. Actual coding isn't so much anymore, but now that I've been exposed to academia the last few years, I am sliding into research-y stuff, writing papers no one else is going to bother to. It is still tech, but parallel to my other impulses - the fundamental impulse of creating something out of pure ideas.

When I REALLY retire, I'll write that novel!
> to use code for good with commercial interests

You can use GPL code commercially. You just have to publish source on anything it touches. It that makes your business model nonviable, the amount of good you were doing is... questionable.

> The team has ported and reverse-engineered drivers to get Windows 11 running on a Windows Phone and even written their own ones, too. “I wouldn’t say we were quite fast to do it, we took four years to get to the current state, but it’s actually impressive we got here with not much documentation on hand,” says Monce.

They're of course free to work on whatever they want. If they decide they next want to work on more-open things, one option is http://postmarketos.org/ , and this can include upstreaming drivers to the mainline Linux kernel.
It doesn't forget - it's stated in the article (close to the end).
I have certainly been in situations during my career where there have been organizational changes and my skill set/preferences haven't really aligned with whatever the mission of the new group is. Things have generally worked out--I did once have to call in a favor from an exec, although that was more a manager issue. But I've certainly been in situations where I've had sort of a "minister without portfolio" role where I was mostly helping out various groups within the company. It would be pretty easy if headcount got tight for that sort of senior position to be seen as unnecessary.

I've never worked in the Valley but I do know someone fairly well known in the industry who worked remotely at Google--which seemed to be OK, until it wasn't. And they ended up leaving.
I did. Since he moved into the path of a car that AIUI had right of way and wasn't showing any sign of yielding, even after several seconds, I assume that he didn't notice, and that he didn't notice because he didn't really look.

(Do vehicles already in a lane have right of way in the US, relative to vehicles who might cross into that lane from another?)
It doesn't have to be a 1:1 replacement. The computer has some advantages that can make up its lack of brains by having lower latency, not getting distracted, better sensors, better maths when it comes to motion ("objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear") and more training than a human will ever experience.
