“Don’t talk too much”, this so much. Address the question. If you have done that, talking more can only make it worse. If you want to take the discussion further, finish your answer and ask a question to signal that there is something more that might be of interest to the interviewer.

And, if you can do that where you are, put yourself forward to be interviewing. After about 20-30 interviews you’ll find a few nuanced insights, some of them specific to your area.

I totally understand why Amazon halted everything. Sure, one could deliver shipments off-line and sort them out afterwards manually. And at a lower scale Amazon might have tried it (at least it would have been on the table when I worked there a couple of years ago).

But what then? You had a complete loss of traceability of shipments and operations, once you regain it, a junk of shipments isn't there anymore where there are supposed to be. No you have not one potential root cause for this, the outage, that could be resolved by retriggering those shipments (not loss, as you didn't deliver anything to customers) but two: the outage and some off-line shipments. In case it was just one FC, sure that would be doable. If the whole network in a complete region goes down, no way to handle that. It is much easier and safer to just stop operations until the outage is resolved, re-route orders to other regions in the meantime, and then work through the backlog. Amazon's ops are good at that, specifically because they have almost complete transparency on their material flows. Going off-line would have jeopardized that transparency, making a quick recovery after the outage all the harder.
This looks very good, thanks.

Goes to show, when you criticize any government you have more to lose than to win.

So the message is, think twice, expose a government in bad light, people will feel bad for you, people will say they "wish they can help you" while you'll lament and rot in a prison.

USA does do it too, the more prolific cases are treason, but if you get suspected of anything, wide reaching warrants exist and your privacy becomes null. The more they can't find on you, the more the USA government believes there's a reason to look.

In short: Network effect.
Region failures can be non-recoverable (e.g. natural disaster).

One major outage per year doesn't necessarily mean just a few hours of downtime, it could mean having to redeploy your entire service somewhere else, which could take several days or more if you haven't prepared for it. How many of those services can live with that?

> "Complete Integration" seems like an artificial criteria you are creating as a "desperate post-rationalization to avoid the realization the singularity is long past and the rapture of the nerds left almost all of us behind."

Uh what? Seems like? To who?

Integration matters even with humans. Shared cultures, priorities, ways of organizing information, terminology make a huge difference in efficiency for human teams.

It is no different with software, and computing hardware. But the speed they communicate wish is in the GHz already. And circuits designed close together (integrated design) can connect with huge bandwidth.

Billions of times faster than us. And that is today.

Machines also have no problem updating themselves today. Genetic algorithms for the machine learning architecture, direct optimization of meta learning parameters, ... the list goes on.

Once they are as smart as us in any area, machines surpass us almost instantly. There is no hanging around at some level for machines. Even when we are still the ones designing them.

Machines will have control of even the smallest unit of effect in their own design. Transistor level up for a start. But substrate chemistry and transistor design as well.

Even with humans doing those redesigns the cost of a calculation per second continues to drop exponentially. There is no end to that in sight, as even as transistor sizes stabilize to a few atoms across, we have just started going 3D with circuits. RAM chips are routinely stacked, sometimes CPUs are.

Going full 3D with circuits would be a massive increase in computing power, as power innovations enable more of that.

In the meantime, numbers of cores per chips continues to climb, chips per machine climbs, machines per data center climbs.

I am always puzzled by people who don't recognize the "magic" that has transformed the vacuum tube computers slowly doing simple arithmetic at their best, to talking and hearing, generating complex art and music, etc. The whole history within the lifetime of living people.

The time frame from where we are now to human level intelligence is likely to be much shorter than the 74 years from 1947 till 2021.

Try to imagine before 1947. Any non-technical person would consider what we have now as hard sci-fi, or magic, depending on their reference frames.

Why do you think so many design systems are incorporating more and more "dumb" AI into them? They are already surpassing us in new areas constantly.

Show HN: ProtobufDecoder, Inspect Protobuf Messages
The problem with interference with radar altimeters was known a long time ago. Someone (FCC? FAA?) decided to go ahead with 5G anyway because the RF spec for RA's was ignored by the makers of RA's. If all the RA's obeyed the spec there would be no problem because there would be no signal overlap. But it was cheaper to ignore the spec and had no consequences for a long time. Now there are consequences and the two giants will have to fight it out. My guess is the cellular companies are going to end up paying to replace all the altimeters, but who knows, maybe the cellar companies will force the aircraft owners to pay for the upgrade. The aircraft owners would then sue the RA makers who would then go bankrupt and then we'll have no RA makers. Either way it is going to disrupt both air traffic and 5G deployment for quite a while. Quite a mess they've created.

There's a link at the end of the article to a list of all the newspapers and their owners.
But is a polite conversation even worth having? I’m honestly not convinced. Just because I went out and conversed with some folks in a polite way doesn’t mean I feel any less lonely. In fact - I’d likely feel even more lonely than if I hadn’t gone out at all. Now I’m surrounding myself with people I can’t even form a real connection with because we can’t talk about anything real.

I’ve noticed this pattern with quite a few people I’ve met lately. Completely embarrassed to discuss anything significant like why they’re doing what they’re doing, what they want out of life, and how they’re going about accomplishing it - if at all. It’s topics that most people are just deathly afraid of speaking about while in public but truly are necessary to understand what the heck a person really is like.

Hi HN!

If you've ever had to communicate with an application that speaks Protobuf but you don't have the message specifications it can be a real pain to understand what is going over the wire.

The protoc CLI tool is able to help you out a bit by displaying the tags it can see but won't tell you much more. https://deprotobuf.com is already much more helpful but is online only.

To make my life easier and hopefully the lives of other developers out there I've built ProtobufDecoder, an application that helps you inspect and analyze binary Protobuf data.

Main features are:

- Read tags from binary payload
- Decode length-delimited tags to find nested messages
- Generate Protobuf message spec file

A first version is currently available from the github release page, at this point I'm curious if people find this useful and what other kind of features would be good to have.

How much does modern Greek rely on its case marking? It seems like one especially common use of foreign names would be to report on something that happened outside Greece with all non-Greek participants. But that's pretty much the worst case for giving up on overt case-marking; none of the nouns would have an obvious case.

I think a lot of skilled software developers might be unaware of just how bad the practices can be in non-software companies regarding software development.

A few years back I remember a big corp explicitly telling me that a project for an Excel based integration between some systems would have easily got buyin and budget. Despite it being in a broader sense a crappy tool for the job due to everyone having excel installed and almost nobody being able to get approval in a reasonable amount of time for anything else to get installed it did appear to be the easiest option in the circumstances. Before this I think I was one of those people who just ruled out using Excel for integrations because I just couldn't see how it could possibly be the best option in any circumstances.
Yeah I've read a bunch of those and if nothing else they actually make some points that need to be discussed. I think things like pointless and excessive energy use, "don't you just need a database really", "doesn't decentralized storage kind of suck in lots of important ways" are much more substantive criticisms that web3 projects need to address than "I disagree with how some projects choose to organize voting", which is nothing more than a bottomless bikeshed and could be made validly made about "pre-web3" projects as well.

For example, I can remember Debian for example having "lively debates" about its voting system inside and outside the community since at least as far back as 2000. I don't think anyone outside that project has any right to an opinion about how Debian want to arrange their voting and I feel the same way about every weird-ass token-voting system some web3 project wants to put in place.
I think a lot of jobs are really wanting contractors but paying job dollars.

With contractors it matters if they can code React fast today, not be up to speed in 6 weeks time
I don't think so. The new ISA that is in the SPR is mostly about deep learning: it supports int8 and bfloat16 (https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3600/the-x86-advanced-matrix-...). You can emulate higher precision using bfloat16 (https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.06376), but I have not seen this used in the wild.
One way of approaching the problem is with the top down cycle accounting methodology

You can find a nice spreadsheet from Intel here:

https://download.01.org/perfmon/TMA_Metrics.xlsx

Also using Intel tools gives you much clearer answers. There are a bunch of scripts on top of perf that try to automate this. You can find them in pmu-tools git repo.

The basic workflow is always the same. Find out which part of the pipeline gets bottlenecked. Is it stuck in PCIE IO, memory, instruction decoding, etc. in my experience most of the time it is memory due to heavy pointer dereferencing and it is just a sad state of programming languages these days.

There are a bunch of memory benchmark tests that demonstrate these effects very well in the NUMA tools package source repository.

The problem with memory being the slow part is that it affects instruction fetch/decode cycle as well.

Poor instruction selection and sequencing can impact throughout because of port saturation (e.g. in case of AVX2) and leave other dispatch ports idle, premature store buffer flushes where you send 1-entry updates instead of sending stuff in chunks, leaving 70% of store buffer bandwidth idle, etc.

There are a lot of foot guns in a modern processor and usually it’s a mixture of these problems with one being dominant. A lot of times it is not possible to completely address the problem without rebuilding the software from scratch and properly leveraging hardware knowledge from the beginning when architecting your code.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if crypto holders started off as wealthier. They're certainly overly-represented amongst the wealthy now. But they'll be under-represented amongst the centralized establishment.

Some interesting facts about crypto asset holders:

Nearly half of Millennial millionaires have more than 25% of their wealth in crypto. Millennials have otherwise been floundering relative to older generations in terms of wealth. Crypto is a rare bright spot for the younger generations, so it's unsurprising much of the older establishment wants to crush it.

Also, 44% of crypto holders in the US are non-white: https://archive.md/slVPj

I recall crypto ownership is 2X more common amongst hispanic Americans, and 3X more common amongst black Americans, relative to white Americans.

I don’t think that reading is correct. The headline 35k reinfections of 2,796k individuals is for all infections to date. The very recent reinfection data for the last few weeks, which is where omicron is circulating, is much worse:

> Based on these analyses, we conclude there was no population-level evidence of immune escape associated with emergence of the Beta or Delta variants. In contrast, the number of daily new reinfections has recently spiked and exceeds the 95% projection interval from the null model, accompanied by a dramatic increase in the hazard ratio for reinfection versus primary infection. The timing of these changes strongly suggests that they are driven by the emergence of the Omicron variant.
