"In a population survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of the Norwegian Consumer Council, just one out of ten respondents were positive to commercial actors collecting personal information about them online, while only one out of five thought that serving ads based on personal information is acceptable. This resembles similar surveys from both sides of the Atlantic, and indicates that consumers do not regard commercial surveillance as an acceptable trade-off for the possibility of seeing tailored ads."

In light of the evidence, should surveillance-based ads be opt-in (default, no need to figure out and change settings) or opt-out. Currently, tech companies make these ads opt-out. By default the ads are enabled. To disable them, the user must find, understand and change settings. Of course, most users do not ever change default settings. Many users may not even be aware that there are such things as settings.

I think this is part of it. Most locations did not actually experience hospital demand above capacity for long, if at all. Probably in large part due to the effectiveness of lockdowns.
>A woman named Michelle Tandler posted a Tweet lamenting that “every single one of my friends is considering leaving SF.” She added that “My friends are scared for their children and their husbands are scared for their wives.”

>And for some reason, Kate Chatfield, who is a senior director on DA Boudin’s staff, thought this would be a good time for a public official to take a shot at a local resident. Chatfield said the “Husbands are scared for their wives,” was right out of the famously racist film, “Birth of a Nation,” which portrays the Ku Klux Klan as heroes.

This is absolutely insane to me. Someone expresses concern about crime and someone from the DA's office publicly compares them to the KKK? How is that in any way acceptable?
Yeah. "Not just quite as slick". What does it even mean? Ada/SPARK has everything you would find in a modern language... and more. People hold lots of misconceptions over the language, that is why I often bring it up and talk about it. That is why I often provide links to stuff people would easily find if they were to look stuff up about the language. As I said in my other comment, it even has a package manager: https://alire.ada.dev/.

Now, I know that there is a trendy view of "the more the better", and it does not have as many libraries there, but that has to do with the fact that it is not yet widespread among Ada users. Alire is really new.
Who has that, a "indoor heat pump"? That's just stupid. Sure, exhaust air heatpumps "use" the (excess) heat from indoors, but that would just get expelled anyways.

I don’t think it’s a question of raises, more like they’re just not willing to invest the time.

Most non giant companies don’t have good processes for on boarding engineers so it’s mostly yolo. They want engineers to be productive very quickly. Someone just out of college will likely not have the skills required to drive projects on their own to completion without help/supervision.

Bigger companies have pretty great onboarding tools and processes and dev tools that abstract most complex things away, allowing developers to become productive rapidly. I think of them as factories that can extract the most value out of new grads.

I say this as someone who was a junior not that long ago, but of course my experience is anecdotal so take it with a pinch of salt.

Social benefits are not a 'handout' if they are enforced through law and democratic agreement. Everyone in most democratic societies agrees that human life has inherent value, and so they agree to pool their resources and make sure everyone has some kind of basic livelihood.

A handout normally refers to some rich individual giving money to someone or of the kindness of their heart.

From a technical perspective there are plenty of ways to serialize / order some stream of events in a reasonable way. Whether that's implementing your event store on top of a transactionally secure database (e.g. Postgres, not Mongo) or using a higher throughput, less persistently secure solution like Kafka. There's also ways to deal with eventual consistency and distributed transactions (SAGAs) depending on the need.

The hard part is that ES/Streaming systems work best / almost necessitate a clean and clear domain model. A clean and clear domain model requires a lot of discussion and consensus with domain experts and product owners. Buy in to have the kind of discussions needed is the source of the issues I've experienced with these kind of systems. CRUD can paint over a lot of cloudy abstract concepts for better or for worse. These kind of discussions are energy intensive and mentally painful to cast light on the cloudy thoughts.

There's not great streaming/es support on a language level outside of the robust actor model systems (e.g. Erlang/Elixir). There are systems like Akka that simulate that to some extent on runtimes like JVM, but a cooperative scheduler and an actor model don't mix great. For non-actor model aspects I've been seeing more service level dataflow systems like KSQL / MaterializeDB gain traction, but are nevertheless a solution for read-models not application logic.

I'm on board with all of this, I think even before GANs it was becoming popular to optimize loss that wasn't necessarily a log likelihood.

But I'm confused by the usage of the phrase generative model, which I took to always mean a probabilistic model of the joint that can be sampled over. I get that GANs generate data samples, but it seems different.
I just cringe at the thought of making that bold of a claim on anything computer related, let alone something as complex as a compiler.

I think they do this to keep bad hires from sticking around until the cliff.

It takes a lot to fire someone legally - oftentimes you have to document ~6 months of poor performance, put them on a PIP, give them a chance to remediate, etc. Combine that with normal long ramp-up times in a tech company, and by the time you know it's not working out and can fire them, they're pretty close or past the 1 year vesting point anyway. It's much more efficient if the employee decides to leave on the their own, if they know it's a mutual bad fit.

This removes the incentive to stick around for the windfall - if you're not enjoying your workplace, go leave and find a better one, and you get paid fully for time served. It's a lot like the buyout offers at places like Zappos or Coinbase, designed to make sure that everyone is on-board with the existing company culture.

I wouldn't call a CVE a scarlet letter. Given the current state of software engineering, it's more like "my project is valuable enough to be used by someone that cares about security". You fixed it, one less bug to worry about. No doubt there are many less popular products with many worse vulnerabilities that don't have a CVE.

Even OpenBSD had to change their tagline to "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!" (from "Five years without a remote hole in the default install!") Still a pretty impressive track record.

Wouldn't that only be an issue if a company offers NSOs instead of ISOs? What I've seen in the past is "here's some ISOs, they automatically convert to NSOs 90 days after you leave." That way you get all the benefits of an ISO (tax on sale) while you work there, then all the benefits of an NSO (doesn't disappear in a puff of smoke at day 90). Seems like strictly a win, regardless of company phase.
I'm making neither of those assumptions. Also, HFT is pretty much as far from making markets "efficient" prediction mechanisms as you can. HFT is a part of the plumbing of financial markets, they arb out the tiny but obvious things. For example they're the people that make ETFs possible - Vanguard or what have you doesn't actually go and buy all the thousands of securities that they have in their products, they outsource it to so called Authorized Participant (read: some org with HFT skills).

Depends on the use case and available instrumentation!

If the feedback is available almost instantly (e.g. you recommend something to a user based on a model prediction and you know if they clicked on it or not), you can log the user action in your data warehouse to have the ground truth easily available for further analysis. Then you run the performance reports on top of complete logs.

In other cases you might have to wait for the ground truth (e.g. you predict the demand for some future period and then wait for it to materialize, or you need to label the data first). In this case you can log the ground truth to the data warehouse once it becomes available and join with the prediction logs. You can then run complete performance monitoring with error analysis as a batch job. In the meantime, you can still monitor the data drift.

Could you describe a specific use case and environment? We can brainstorm how to best arrange it.
The best thing in the last year was that I made a mode for my job. All of my work repos are under the same folder so the mode gets activated for any file under that folder.

My understanding is that this simulation of random quantum circuits is already known to be hard in a theoretical sense[1], and there is no argument that a classical computer could compete with a quantum computer much bigger than 50-60ish qubits. And that arguments against those previous papers has more to do with classical optimizations such as using disk w/ RAM rather than just RAM alone.

For example, take this line from IBM's refutation of Google's Quantum Supremacy experiment: "64 PiB of disk space are required for 53-qubit circuits, and 128 PiB for 54-qubit circuits. Both fit within the 250 PiB available on Summit."[2] If you have to use over 50% of the total disk space on one of the world's strongest supercomputers, you're probably going to run into some major issues once we start hitting the 55, 56, 57, 58, etc. qubit territory. And although this is a moving goalpost, the supercomputers clearly aren't going to get better faster than adding single qubits onto the current chips. Already Rigetti is announcing an 80-qubit quantum computer, and IBM is making an 127-qubit computer.[3]

So, IMHO we are far past the point where quantum computers have to prove themselves superior to classical ones, at least on designed tasks. I don't think we should compare failed P vs NP proofs (which, IMHO is a problem we're anywhere from 5 to 10000 years out from solving).

All this being said, I do have to agree with IBM on the value of the term "Quantum Advantage" versus "Quantum Supremacy". Quantum computers have not yet demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of cost on any problem, but I'm optimistic they will in about a decade. Probably in problems that are already naturally fit to quantum computers, like studying interactions between particles in quantum physics. Also for the record I'm a layperson with just an unusual interest in this field, so it's easily possible I've missed some incredibly important central problem that everyone is being quiet about.

What’s your prediction around schools? Vaccination rates are much lower, many kids aren’t eligible for vaccines, and it is a bit of a hot house environment with lots of children packed into a small area. So does school return too? Just curious what the thinking is here.
> completely rests on the idea that there is a minimum of dead time in the chamber

I don't think we can really compare public sessions in a parliaments to regular business meetings. I'd say their main point is to broadcast a summary of decisions (which are largely taken behind close door and the actual voting is just a formality) to the public in a somewhat transparent and formalized way. I would expect a competent MP to generally know what another MP would say on a given topic before he even stands up to speak so unless he's directly participating in the discussion it shouldn't really matter whether he's using a phone at that moment or not.

> It’s because showing that something is serious has a point. Being superficial doesn’t mean pointless

While I'm fundamentally not against maintaining some kind of minimal dress code requirements, I think in modern, advanced societies that mainly serves an utilitarian purpose (by minimizing unnecessary distractions). The assumption that somehow the more distinguishing dress code or complex etiquette rules a specific public procedure has the more seriously it's taken by the society sounds bizarre to me. It obviously made sense in the past when status symbols like various non standard suits, gowns, robes and wigs had a point in the past because they signified that the person wearing them was somehow qualified and/or entitled to perform a jobs he's doing. But I don't think many people now would believe that a sentence passed by a judge who wears a wig is somehow more 'serious' compared to if he/she was instead wearing just a gown or simply a suit.

By adding a tax, you are narrowing that separation. The original bargain was the state wouldn't recognize an official religion and religions would be tax exempt - a good enough attempt at keeping the institutions separate.
