There's definitely miscommunication around this. I know I've miscommunicated impact, or my communication was misinterpreted across the 2 or 3 people it had to jump before hitting the status page.

For example, The meaning of "S3 was affected" is subject to a lot of interpretation. STS was down, which is a blocker for accessing S3. So, the end result is S3 is effectively down, but technically it is not. How does one convey this in a large org? You run S3, but not STS, it's not technically an S3 fault, but an integration fault across multiple services. If you say S3 is down, you're implying that the storage layer is down. But it's actually not. What's the best answer to make everyone happy here? I cant think of one.

Most of rate limiter system often drop invalid requests, it's not optimal as i see.

The better way is, we should have two queues, one for valid messages and one for invalid messages.
Valve also basically have the entire PC gaming industry pay them rent. They could just work on Steam for the next 100 years and not want for money. That creates some pretty bad incentives, which coupled with their very informal management style can lead to the current situation. If rumours are to be believed, something is being done internally to address the problem and turn them back into a videogame company. I would personally love to see the Steam team split off into a completely separate entity, but I can see why that won't happen. In short, Valve's premiere product is a software delivery platform, and they sometimes spend some money to make a videogame. Sometimes that videogame even gets released.

Nope. Even at 10 mph / 16 kph, Tesla requires the driver to pay attention.

Tesla forces drivers to apply resistance to the steering wheel and the interior cabin camera (and cabin infrared camera starting 2022) will ensure the driver is looking up.

The best part of Federalist is reading and displaying the websites from BitTorrent using BEP-46. The Handshake part is less impressive for me personally, since it basically reads Handshake values from a service (query.hdns.io/dns-query).

If Federalist adds a Handshake daemon, it will be much more decentralized, but at the same time much heavier on resources.

For historical perspective, decentralized websites (or p2p websites) are here since like 20 years. Here's a super concise list of what I recall off the top of my head.

- Freenet is the first project I'm aware of doing that

- ENS+IPFS websites is a strong movement now (see esteroids.eth.limo, I'm a co-creator of this)

- ZeroNet was going strong like 5 years ago, and even though it's less popular now it's still functional and a nice project.

- Agregor browser brings decentralized website the Hypercore (a successor of DAT protocol)

- BitTorrent was supposed to have a project especially for decentralized websites (Maelstrom web browser), but it didn't took off eventually

- Magnetico is a search engine built on top of BitTorrent, very similar to Federalists, but without the Handshake part.

- Skynet is a project meant almost only for decentralized websites, based on Sia. They have integration with ENS, and afaik, also with Handshake (check it out!)

- Swarm, Namecoin etc. could also be used for decentralized websites. I saw some people doing demos with it, but can't recall any links/names atm.

Dreaming of code is something that happens to me very frequently when I'm working on difficult problems and only the first few times was cool.

Now, when I dream of code, I can hear my inner self saying "no, please! I actually want to rest" because most of the times I feel like I'm in a loop exploring the same solutions over and over.

I've had to get out of bed and do something else so I can go back to sleep without having one of those weird dreams.

Managers hates firing people, it is really uncomfortable. So instead of firing this person to look for a new, they keep the person and say they need even more headcount and hope the next one is better.

> a VP must sign off on changing status pages, which is... backwards to say the least.

I think most people's experience with "VP's" makes them not realize what AWS VP's do.

VP's here are not sitting in an executive lounge wining and dining customers, chomping on cigars and telling minions to "Call me when the data center is back up and running again!"

They are on the tech call, working with the engineers, evaluating the problem, gathering the customer impact, and attempting to balance communicating too early with being precise.

Is there room for improvement? Yes. I wish we would just throw up a generic "Shit's Fucked Up. We Don't Know Why Yet, But We're Working On It" message.

But the reason why we don't, doesn't have anything to do with having to get VP approval to put that message up. The VP's are there in the trenches most of the time.

"S3 is unavailable because X, Y, and Z services are unavailable."

A graph of dependencies between services is surely known to AWS; if not, they ought to create one post-haste.

Trying to externalize Amazon's internal AWS politicking over which service is down is unproductive to the customers who check the dashboard and see that their service ought to be up, but... well, it isn't?

Because those same customers have to explain to their clients and bosses why their systems are malfunctioning, yet it "shows green" on a dashboard somewhere that almost never shows red.

I preface my interviews saying that I'm we're going to have a conversation rather than a list of trivia questions. The goal is find out what the candidate knows, rather than if they know an answer to any specific question, or specific version of a technology. If I ask a question that is too easy, it's not a trick, it's a segue to more conversation. If I ask a question that's incomprehensible, it's because I don't have a prepped list in front of me and I'm making some questions up on the fly, and the candidate should just ask for clarification. Also, that a lot of my questions are open ended, or have multiple right answers and any of them are acceptable.

It's not really a pattern of interview I expect most people can implement immediately, but it really gives a good idea of fluency. I just have to home in on what they do know. The easy questions get some momentum going and provide context for the follow ups. When they don't know an answer I'll tell them the answer. Sometimes this leads to them adding some depth beyond that answer as they know what's going on but haven't worked with it formally, or have worked with it in passing, or maybe know it by a different name.
Tesla achieved their mission of accelerating the worlds transition to sustainable energy.

Unfortunately Tesla will be dead in that future.

It’s already happening in California. Young FAANG engineers respect Teslas less, compared to 5 years ago. And a higher % of techies are considering Audi, BMW, and Porsche EVs.
While the color coating of the wires can be useful, I preferred enameled copper wire/magnet winding wire of 0.3mm gauge, when I did such stuff. Maybe 0.2mm, NOT 0.1mm!(too soft) At 0.3mm they are tightly bendable, stay in place after bending them, and can touch each other. This enables building of esthetically pleasing structures, instead of the pictured mess. Imagine something like the pipes screensaver from the WinNT 4 days, but shining in copper. Also usable to wire together LED-cubes or similar structures.
I REALLY doubt the "Good stopping effect". That's the same as the flashlights with "intruder stopping" strobe.

They claim 16J. Well, a typical - Germany Legal - Airsoft gun has 7.5J, so we're talking about toy-level of energy.

Now, looking at some 9mm ammo, you have around 500-570J depending on type - Ball vs. Hollow Point.

Yeah, it's very clear to me, what I want to use if I have to defend myself.

Thank you for making it easier for those in the cheap seats to understand your point!
This kind happens to me too, except frequently when I'm transitioning I see a really bright like that comes from "above" (hard to describe which direction) and it wakes me back up because it's intensity. Though no one I talk to seems to know what I'm talking about. But the vividness before becoming unconscious (or the white light) is often the most creative part of my day. Sometimes I can take control but often this breaks the effect.

Though the best way I learned to remember dreams and having some control is not when falling asleep but waking up. Rather set an alarm one or two REM cycles before you want to get up (cycle is 90 minutes) and then just go back to bed. It's far more vivid than when trying to go to sleep and easier to take some control (though I've only become lucid twice). At minimum you'll remember your dream.

CDPR doesn't iterate and test their code in the optimal way. Most of the time they just go at it full on and patch things up at the end.
This was (un)fortunately for them a project where the complexity rose so high that their approach couldn't handle it (also covid didn't help), and they were left with intertwined systems that were causing severe performance bottlenecks everywhere (think polynomial or even exponential).
AI the way they planned it meant spawning hundreds of NPCs, all interacting with one another and the player, with badly designed systems for that interaction (because why spend upfront time on this if you can floor it), and almost no consideration on how that would impact the graphics and physics sides of the game.
The whole development of this game is a case study of how to fail at keeping your externalities in check.
The person could have just learned to code in all that time spent watching conference Q&A sessions to con interviewers.

This does seem to be the threat model many interview processes are meant to protect against though.

I understand there are costs involved in hiring then firing someone, but maybe that should be reserved as a way to deal with the most outlandish fakers and let the rest of us have a quick Google or two during coding screens.
Chess does have meta changes, though. Especially as chess engines become more advanced, like with the release of AlphaZero, different strategies have become popularized as a result

Saying Nepo has less mental endurance than Carlsen is not the same as saying he doesn't have any as this poster wrote.
Chess is "solved by computers" today, as in they will outplay the best humans, but that's in part because chess provides you with perfect information about the enemy's position at all time.

Most (all?) esport games use fog-of-war (RTS) or level design (FPS) or some other mechanism that hides the enemy from you. Without that, esports games have also been "solved by computers" for decades.

There is of course a chess variant with fog-of-war (dark chess). As far as I know, computers don't beat humans at that.

The 6th game alone took longer than The Queen's Gambit.

(This is probably what you meant, but in chess a game means a single contest, while a match always means a series of games between two players or two teams).
I am pretty sure that given the constraints (must operate reasonably well on last generation consoles and minimum specs with decent graphics) the problem space is pretty much impossible.

> Today's interview process seems eminently gameable by grinding LeetCode and watching YouTube videos on system design.

That is a feature. You look at what they worked on before to see if they are senior material. Then you do leetcode and system design to see if they are smart. A smart person would most likely learn whatever tech and problems they worked on, so if they do well on leetcode you just assume they did well in their past jobs. If they can't learn leetcode then you assume they did poorly in their past jobs. If they didn't practice leetcode then you got no signal on their smartness, so no-hire due to unpredictability.

So we get these possible results and what you do with it:

- Good leetcode, great and relevant experience: Hire at high level, this guy is smart so he likely learned a lot of things during his past experiences.

- Bad leetcode, great and relevant experience: no-hire, he might be smart but we don't know so we don't know if he actually performed in his past jobs.

- Good leetcode, no/minor expereince: hire at junior level, this guy will likely learn fast

- bad leetocde, no experience: don't hire, there are no positive signals.

This works really well actually. The only bad part is that some experts needs to brush up on this when they want to find a new job, but for a well paying company that isn't a problem as millions of candidates gladly brushes up for the pay bump.
it's complicated, but yes.
It is neither obscure nor domain specific. Unless you consider all of sports to be domain specific.
Spoken like someone whose work has never been plagiarized :(

You realize that the creator of whatever original content, be it a photo or writing, is always at a huge disadvantage against the infringing party?

Infringers are like robbers in a candystore of content created for them free for taking and the propability of getting caught is like 1 in a million.

And even when caught, the chances of damages being enforced is another 1 in a million.

Now put yourself in the shoes of the creator of the photo - whose content has repeatedly being lifted without any kind of attribution, remuneration, nothing whatsoever.

And then there's people who have the audacity to call them litigous...
The question is about killing the suspect.
I've only ever done this style of interview and I've never hired someone who was downright awful.

I also suspect it makes candidates more likely to accept because you can develop a bond and have a relatively enjoyable time in interviews like this.

Several times I've had the interview process be so unpleasant I lost all interest in working for the company. I try to be considerate and withdraw so I don't waste everyone's time but once I did get an offer from a company like this.
Yeah I thought this was pretty funny. I AM trying to understand why people are so mad though.

Could you go into detail what you mean by "respect Tesla less" in that context?

It seems to me that we are looking at a maturing market where several brands have released products which are quite good.

Judging by the numbers Tesla is doing extraordinarily well and is still growing strongly.

Unless one believed the Elon Musk groupy theory in which Tesla would be the only car manufacturer on the planet it's not really surprising at all.
Obviously it did in this case. I think the use of GOAT is common in the U.S. but not elsewhere, and HN draws an international community.

For any given topic, there is a really small minority of people who are open for rational arguments and with whom you can and should discuss. Also, you can discuss with the undecided and the impressionable.

The art is to recognize when somebody is not open to arguments. There is no need to argue e.g. that your country has plenty of resources and it is the ethical thing to do to accept refugees, when the other person just places zero value on their lives and is openly racist. What is completely rational for that person is insane for you and vice versa.

In that situation you can switch away from discussion on eye level and it just becomes a power play. Try to "win" the discussion in any way, look good to bystanders, convince those who can be convinced. Amplify the voices that you want to amplify and silence the others. It sounds horrible to write this out loud, but so much of political discussion realls is not a scientific exchange of facts, but just power games.

There's a difference between driving in traffic jams to get to work and driving on twisty empty back roads. The former is a regrettable experience that is a necessary evil so that you can make a living. The latter is a hobby that lets you control the direction of the roller coaster.

Yes, the distribution of resources available to any particular person is governed by a power law. People complaining about it every time one of these people is mentioned just gets boring.

Everything Jeff Bezos does is going to attract people complaining about it and they would complain about it just the same if the wealth inequality in the world was divided by a thousand. It all reminds me of Obama eating a sandwich with fancy mustard was made into a scandal and I care just as much.

Unless you’re loving your life pretty radically different than most people, you’re “enabling” many billionaires in the very real sense of giving them plenty of your money, regardless of whether or not you complain about them on social media.

The way Lumen (née CenturyLink) typical install these units is to have a splice point outside in a box and then drill a hole inside and mount another cable management rig that the Calix snaps into.

It basically feeds the fiber in from the back and you can catch a catch a glimpse of the white sheathing in the bottom corner as it loops from behind and into thr ONT.
If you are smart and a hard worker then learning it properly is easier, yeah.

But if you are lazy and prefers talking to people and watching videos, so you spend your day talking about these conferences with your colleagues rather than doing work then you have the scenario I'm talking about. It doesn't require some genius conman, basically any guy who prefers to talk about things instead of doing things will more or less fit this description. The degree they lack real skills depend on the degree they prefer talking over doing, but such people will always over perform at such interviews.

Lastly since the talkers get rejected by all the leetcoding firms, you will have an abundance of talkers that can't perform in the hiring pool. So the problem with talkers is way worse today than 20 years ago.
Well yeah, but if you're trying to "cure cancer", and in a (just made-up) theory an acidic environment should help with cancer, so you try lemon juice, and it shows that lemon juice cures as much cancer as placebo does, that seems publishable to me.

Even if it's a render, it's probably just 3d capture played back. You can see how unrealistic the young Keanu is versus the current one. The jaw specially moves in a weirdly inhuman way both in game play and in intro when he suddenly shape shifts.

This article is also speculation and I don't believe them. If it was all a render, all faces should have maintained the same detail and realism. But only Keanu's face is real enough. You can even see his individual hair which are out of shape. That's way too real. Those hair can't possibly be 3d captured like that.

As someone else pointed out, he does change to 3d render at 1:39 in a far view and you can easily see how unrealistic that one is.
