While garbage in, garbage out may seem like a bad policy to the user, to the AI system, it means that it can have a closed feedback loop, where the final code (the solution) can be linked to the initial input, regardless if the input was garbage or not.

TWs help for sure but the ones with the ones with the most impact don't try to do it all themselves, and instead make it easier / less painful for everyone in the company (or at least engineers to start) to create documentation. Or they at least raise hell and make it clear that the more everyone takes ownership of docs the more likely it is that the company overall will succeed. To put it another way, a common problem that I see is that company's recognize their docs are terrible and then hire a couple TWs and the engineers say "phew! Now I really don't need to care about documentation at all!" I think part of Stripe's initial success was that everyone supposedly did customer support and that helped them see that good docs was a great way to reduce support burden (rather than providing ad hoc answers, if you have a doc that explains the solution well, you can just link to that instead). That's just conjecture, BTW. I haven't confirmed that idea with Stripe people. Also it's just common sense that if your main product is an API then your documentation is mission critical to overall success. Another scalable approach is for TWs to provide training that helps non-TWs get less intimidated by writing docs.

Independent Judiciary means independent of the executive and legislative branches. It doesn't mean immunity to public rebuke. Plenty of judges have to renew their mandate by standing for election.

The incentives associated with having your career tied to elections can end up being suboptimal, so we could debate what the most effective method would be, but it's an example of how a judge can be removed from power by the public.

Are you taking into account the effects on sales of substitute goods?

If I pirate say a $500 graphics editing suite I can easily believe that does not represent a lost sale to the maker of that software. There is simply no way I'd buy a $500 graphics editing suite.

But it might represent a lost sale to Pixelmator, because if I could not pirate the $500 graphics editing suite and could not afford to buy it I would have turned to a less expensive solution, such as Pixelmator Pro which is $40 and I can afford.

I recently jumped careers and got a down level. The only reason I accepted it was because of a massive compensation upgrade (almost twice).

The thing is, there is a reputation that titles are always inflated in smaller companies. And regardless of whether that is true or not, you'll always be held at that standard. So when you move to a bigger company, in the short term you get the down level, but you can easily kill it with your skills and demand a raise, or you can jump to another big company where you can get back your leveling.
I feel like this would have been a good idea 5 years ago, but Twitter has become increasingly irrelevant in the interim.

At the risk of being ELIZA, what is it you are afraid will happen which you think self-hate is protecting you from? The answers are probably distorted by fear instead of a realistic appraisal of what will actually happen. How often do you "actually really need" a clean shirt as a matter of serious consequence? And when you do, do you really have no options? Could you beg one from a neighbour or buy one at short notice or wash one quickly? If you don't NEED one could you wear a jacket over a less clean shirt? If this is going to worry you could you keep a clean or unopened shirt in the closet for emergency "I didn't do any laundry" wear only, just to guard against this situation?

> "what happens when you, well, don’t have the laundry done, and you realize you actually really need a clean shirt? (Or whatever.)"

Sensible answer, ideally you say to yourself "I don't have a clean shirt, what options do I have?" and consider the best available option and use it, absent the self-hatred and judging and putdowns and bad feelings and stuff which isn't helping anyway.

[Edit: I missed something major in this response; it's not necessary to make all the bad feelings go away entirely and be happy with everything. It's more that you can choose - if feeling bad does help motivate you to do the laundry, keep some of it. It's the "I didn't do laundry, I'm 100% a terrible person, a lazy slob worse than everyone, I fail at everything I don't deserve to live, woe woe" spiral which is an overkill response. You might decide to keep 50% intensity self anger, or 10% intensity self-ticking-off or 5% intensity self-eye-roll. Whatever you decide is enough suffering to be motivating, if any.]

Yeah I'm very familiar with it not the least because I'm of japanese extraction and have relatives my age living the lost generation: it's a lost generation because instead of letting crap companies/crap bosses die, due to fear of deflation, they bailed them out with monetary and fiscal stimuli, making working salaryman jobs meaningless for an entire generation of young Japanese people.

Ask HN: What server or CPU/motherboard combo offers maximum memory bandwidth?
A side project i'm working on is maxing out memory bandwidth well before cpu. It reads data from a 43GB binary data file (cached in ram by OS), does some processing and generates an output file. On an AWS r6gd.16xlarge instance (64 cpu, 512GB ram) it takes 14 seconds to run with 64 threads. I can reduce the number of threads down to 32 before it starts taking longer so it seems to be memory bandwidth limited. The application is interactive so shorter run times are highly desirable. I want to buy/build a server to maximize performance, what are my options?

For the sake of discussion let's assume the program is optimally written (Ha!). Porting to GPU is also out of the question because some settings require 300GB of ram or more during processing.
Even with that, making it upfront and a choice at least invites competition. I can sort by ad-free price, or note that a different manufacturer charges $40 to remove the garbage.

> For example some Lisps allow us to save the state of the heap to disk easily, incl. the runtime, to make an executable.

Wait, hang on. Is this feature analogous to Smalltalk’s image-based environment? Does this mean I could run a Lisp REPL and “save all” then “restore all” later? Or is this a subset of what Smalltalk does? Excluding the Smalltalk GUI environment, of course.

Asking because that’s the biggest “you must try it to understand the experience” selling point of Smalltalk. Some Lisps (hopefully some of the same ones?) have a really nice interactive debug mode, which IIRC is another Smalltalk selling point.

If those are both covered by a single Lisp, I’d like to try that out instead of Smalltalk, because Lisp’s structure makes more sense to me. I am biased towards Clojure because I like its opinionated language design choices irrespective of Java interop. Mainly the seq abstraction and immutable-by-default. A first-class debug REPL and “save / restore the whole runtime environment” are both things I want to examine though.

I have lost faith in Amazon a while ago. I base my opinion on their amazon.com online shopping experience. The ratings are regularly gamed, the "Amazon's Choice" label is completely unreliable, the quality of products sold by Amazon under their own brand (Amazon Basics) is highly suspect, they're not price competitive any more, I won't buy baby or health care products due to poor warehousing practices and commingled inventory. Several years ago shopping at amazon.com meant you'd likely get a price competitive, good quality product with reliable reviews. Sadly that situation doesn't exist any more.
Understandable, I'm still running an X201t, the newer models are deeply unappealing. I picked up a Precision M6700 for the office and I'm very pleased with the thing. I don't see any laptops much newer than that which I'd be happy with.

The current trend of soldered RAM & wireless radios is an utter dealbreaker, I can only hope the industry grows out of it.
> It's not noise if you can understand every line written though.

If I can understand every line of a 10,000 line program, is it not still noise compared to a 100 line program that accomplishes the same goal?

> If you don't have to think too much about what code does, you can get a better overview of what's going on.

That's the problem with Go. I do have to think about what the code does, because the ability to abstract things to a higher level is virtually nonexistent.

Take the following:

items
.select { |item| whitelist.include?(item) }
.sort_by { |item| item.price }
.map { |item| item.name }

I don't have to think about what this code does at all. It's obvious. And I am extremely confident that there are no bugs. The Golang equivalent?

var tmp []item
var res []item

for _, item := range items {
for _, entry := range whitelist {
if item == entry {
tmp = append(tmp, item)
break
}
}
}

sort.Slice(res, func(i, j item) bool {
return tmp[i].Price < tmp[j].Price
})

for _, item := range items {
res = append(res, item.Name)
}

Sure I can understand every line of the latter. It's still noise. And it's only comprehensible by sitting down and carefully reading every single line. Are there bugs? I think not, but I'd have to think through it to be sure. Go took what should have been a simple problem and somehow turned it into something that would feel at home if I was writing a device driver.
They're not. VP Eng is a management role whereas CTO has an expectation of technical leadership or strategy. VP Eng has a focus on operations, the processes and mechanics of the engineering organization, whereas the CTO has a focus on the future technical path of the org.
Exactly! And even those very wrong results give quite interesting insides.

Such stuff is worthless as benchmarks, sure. But all the other things you can learn form such stuff is sometimes even quite fascinating.

So discussing completely wrong benchmarks has imho often some value.
The sacklers manufactured a legal product that sold (legally) via perscription only. If anybody should be sued it is the individual doctors who made millions operating pill mills.

Meanwhile real patients suffering from chronic pain now have more difficult access to effective treatments due to the moral panic.

How about some individual responsibility? If you choose to misuse your pain medication so that you develop addiction and then go further and transfer to using street drugs and overdose on heroin cut with fentanyl then it is your own fault.

Though I will note the transfer to street drugs is often impelled by the above mentioned moral panic restricting supply.

I say this as somebody who had a family member die of an "heroin" (who knows what's in it) overdose after starting with perscribed painkillers.

I was diagnosed in my thirties with a congenital condition. I decided "I need to start making more Bs if I'm ever going to get anywhere."

Twenty years later, I look back on my high expectations and realize that I was inculcated with them in childhood and also got a lot of support in childhood for being able to hit those performance marks in school. Growing up and leaving home meant I still had high expectations but I didn't necessarily have the support I needed to meet them.

I still have high standards but I'm more able to embrace ideas like "The perfect is the enemy of the good" and "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

I'm happy at the moment with some of my accomplishments that probably don't look especially impressive to a lot of outsiders. Maybe they seem unpolished or not slick or not meeting some metric some outsider thinks matters. But they are meeting metrics I think matter, metrics that are hard to hit at all. And sometimes the fact that others think it's messy or second rate is a feature, not a bug, for my purposes.

I've used F2FS before and ran into similar problems mentioned. My partition became unusable and fsck.f2fs didn't help. I lost the files, but thankfully had backups.

Since then, I have found that exFAT was better suited to my use case.

This was a few years ago now, I came away from the experience thinking the ideas are nice but it needs more time to mature.

Obviously this is all anecdotal, I've lost partitions to plenty of filesystems before, but the fact that little to no data recovery software existed for F2FS at the time was really the concerning factor.
