All of Statistics by Larry Wasserman is a great introductory book from the frequentist tradition that includes some sections on Bayesian methods. It's definitely not frequentist propaganda - more like a sober look at the pros and cons of the Bayesian point of view.

It is very competitive to get a job at one of these companies. I have applied to Netflix multiple times but to date they have not replied even to reject me (only "application received"). Since applying to Netflix, I was hired at Cameo as a senior software engineer, and then Disney as a Senior Software Engineer/Tech Lead. It seems like I wasn't good enough to even get an interview at Netflix. But once you do get an interview, often the bar is pretty high to get an offer, with lots of rounds of tough interviews that thin out the herd of applicants. So the recruiting funnel alone is enough to filter out most applicants. But aside from that, there is the perception (justified or not) that these are demanding companies to work for.

> In the same way that acknowledging that human conflict is inevitable doesn't justify violence, the existence of ideology doesn't justify structuring one's entire life around it.

That analogy is pretty loaded, I think. I doubt people making it would take issue with someone deeply involved in a charitable cause and spending their life to relieve people from their issues. Likewise, I doubt people making that analogy would consider themselves deeply invested in ideology, while, in fact, almost everyone is almost inescapably embedded in a set of dominant ideologies.
Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that part.

Quite a lot of people have told Tesla to choose a better name for the feature, precisely because the name implies greater capabilities than the it actually has.

It’s good, but it’s not good enough for that name to not be misleading.

Why don't we see more of that?
Current legislation is selectively enforced - pointing to a lack of enforcement only weakens your position. There are a lot of major distinguishing differences between HN and Youtube, but one of the most obvious is the way HN has a narrowly tailored scope - it is a platform for a very specific kind of content. You have the direct opposite (originally) for Youtube - unbound scope with narrowly defined no-go zone (illegal and copywrite protected material).
> If you mean "moving to blue cities" no,

I mean "moving to cities", period.

Source, please.

> Detroit, Cleveland, Newark, Camden, Baltimore, Akron, Hartford, Flint, Cairo, St. Louis, East St. Louis for starters?

Don't have the time to debunk every single one of those, but the first three are absolutely not examples of the claims "The people running the cities run them into the ground by applying more and more gold plating to the services they provide" or even "People move out of cities because they do not feel safe, and the services suck."

Those cities experienced decline due to deindustrialization: the over-reliance on certain manufacturing industries like steel and automotive to provide jobs, which were lost to international competition. People moved away because they could not find work.

Nor are those cities examples of "it all collapses and is irretrievable" - the population of Newark and Cleveland has plateaued since the 1990s and is now seeing slight increases. And even Detroit has seen a continuous decrease of poverty and crime rates in the last 10 years.

It's absolutely ordinary, but so is the opposite. Considering that DMARC is either-and, a lot of companies only employ SPF to reduce access and burden of updating DNS for DKIM keys for large amounts of senders.
I agree completely. Businesses need to "price in" these possibilities.

Bailouts might make sense if the government broke an implicit or explicit promise to the company about what kind of business can be done.

‘Invite only’ works for small groups. For more than say 50 people, a planned incursion can occur by getting one mole in and that mole inviting others.
Possible, however having this data available makes accounting, and taxation trivial. Money laundering, fraud, theft, and other illegal activities also become extremely difficult to hide.

Which is to say that investors, governments, financial institutions, and small businesses unable to afford external auditing and accounting probably want this capability more than individuals. I'd argue that our current lack of financial transparency may be more of an artifact of banking technology limitations rather than an intrinsically desirable property.

In the beginning they are just barely able to figure out how to use the ancient tech, but they eventually advance to being the most powerful civilisation in the known universe with massive space battles over Antarctica - all without any effect on the rest of the earth's population? One would imagine that at some point they would no longer see a point at keeping this all secret and let the general public also benefit from that technology.

The “US Fed" part of the headline is confusing. Its notice in the Federal Register of the D.C. Pretrial Services Agency establishing a tracking system for employee information.

Yes it does. The UK defence journey is not exactly an unbiased source and always follows the party line. However at least 1 MSP would disagree with that narrative [0] and suffered significant inline abuse for that post.

Wonder if in this case how they’d count the stats. Are these packages counted each as a single instance of theft? Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t count at all as occurring in LA but in the state where the train is owned.

None of these systems are "self driving", and Tesla is the only company I've seen falsely advertise their system as capable of such.

I worked for a medium size payroll software company.

Payroll is highly regionalized problem - every state and city has different rules/taxes and very unique ones as well. Its often not so simple to generically describe a payroll tax and plug in different configs per region. Much hidden complexity that's grown organically over time as laws/taxes change (which they do!).

A rewrite would be an archaeological dig. I would have to be paid a lot to take that problem on.

It's also not trivial software to manage, so often it's outsourced as a service (run by humans) on top of software that cut the checks for your employees. Makes me think that the margins are low? I dunno.

Modern companies like gusto are changing this
I’ve heard the railways have their own jurisdiction but the environments around those railways sure have a way of breeding criminals, giving them cover, and contributing to all of this. It’s hard for me to view this as anything but a result of California policy and the kind of justice system promoted by folks like Gascon (LA DA) or Boudin (SF DA). After all, we don’t hear about train raids in Texas or Montana or whatever.
I highly disagree. Software engineering is hard, but out of all the engineering disciplines out there it is the easiest. That's why it's a very normal thing for software engineering to be learned in boot camp or without any assistance.

Most other engineering disciplines are much harder in the sense that the benefits are not immediately practical and the answers aren't as straightforward. Not many people are going to learn electromagnetic theory on their own.

Many software engineers think they're smart because software allows developers to hit all these epiphany points on a constant basis. You hit successes and you can learn convoluted concepts quickly because software presents it all to you in an idealized abstraction. It also quickly tells you whether your attempt at a solution was correct or wrong. It allows for quick learning. The reality is.. all of this happens because software tends to be easier.

Other forms of engineering don't provide you with that many euphoric highs when you learn a new concept or solve some problem because they are so few and far in between. This itself is an indicator that those other fields are punishingly hard.

Just to re-emphasize. I am not saying software is easy. Software is hard. But easier than most other forms of engineering.
The gigapixel example could be done with fourier features which takes about a few minutes to train (on colab-like resources). Definitely still a huge improvement though (and based on more clever hashing techniques than optimization).
My point isn't whether or not there is yet scientific evidence of vaccines causing an impact on menstruation, as opposed to the anecdotal evidence mentioned in the article and by myself above.

My point is that scientific researchers seem to look at timescales of 6 months for short term side effects rather than 1 month the GP seems to believe is a hard cut off for short term side effects.

> You are not your code. Remember that the entire point of a review is to find problems, and problems will be found. Don’t take it personally when one is uncovered.

In my career, I have had to deal with other senior developers who would throw tantrums whenever I pointed out something problematic about their code.

Over the years, there's something all those people seem to have in common - they are stuck in an endless loop of making mistakes and refusing to learn from them.
> The other side would say without such a mandate we are unnecessarily harming real people, who would otherwise be railroaded by the irresponsible actions of another.

At best, this is misplacement of blame. The only people placing others in jeopardy are those not getting vaccinated. The rest of us are not responsible just because we didn't tie those people down and inject them. That doesn't mean the rest of us should do nothing about the problem, but neither does it mean that a vaccine mandate is necessarily the appropriate solution.

You will often see such justifications of actions: 1. We are responsible for X. 2. Our solution solves the problem of X. 3. Therefore, our solution must be implemented regardless of your objections.

The problem being (1) may or may not be true; (2) is usually true; but (3) does not follow, because their solution to the problem of X is not the only solution, even if it is their preferred solution because of politics, economy, expediency, convenience, et cetera.
It is a meaningless buzzword, and has taken on an almost doublespeak connotation.

Remember when Windows let you adjust the sizes, colours, and fonts of every single UI element? Windows 3.x had that.

They removed that 3 versions back (Win8).

Then they removed some more in Windows 10, and in Windows 11, even stopped you from moving the taskbar to a different edge of the screen; and then, they have the gall to say it's "most inclusively designed".

"Actions speak louder than words."
So what you're saying is that the reason all the crime statistics are lower than in the past is because people stopped reporting these Incredibly Rampant crimes, and the solution is to bring back the people who presided over high crime rates? Why wouldn't those people suppress the crime statistics to look good if it's so easy to suppress them now? What will make them more effective now than they were before? More violence? More cops? More guns and tear gas grenades?

Rail theft is an incredibly specific crime compared to something like a carjacking or a house burglary. There are only so many trains to rob and only so many rail lines. It doesn't make sense to extrapolate from it to all other crimes.

It’s really difficult to consider federal student loans as “usurious”. The interest rate is fixed well below market rates for similar unsecured loans. There are numerous income-based repayment & forgiveness schemes that for many borrowers will represent a negative effective interest rate. And no one has had to make any payments on these loans at all for almost two years.

It’s also not at all obvious to me how making such loans dischargeable in bankruptcy would actually help borrowers, other than creating a really nice dodge for recent graduates of Harvard Law.

I can see one use that when using lock ordering to prevent deadlocks (http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-concurrency/deadlock-preven...), but then, the locks to be taken are a fixed set, and one probably would have function take_locks(lock *) and release_locks(lock *), and one could do defer release_locks.

Also, Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock_prevention_algorithms) doesn’t seem to know about it. Even though I expect/guess it to be popular in embedded work, that makes me wonder whether lock ordering is used much.

Could also be an omission in Wikipedia. It has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banker%27s_algorithm, which I hadn’t heard of, and that Wikipedia says of

“In most systems, this information is unavailable, making it impossible to implement the Banker's algorithm. Also, it is unrealistic to assume that the number of processes is static since in most systems the number of processes varies dynamically”
> It seems like there was a ton of exuberance and pride post-WWII, but terrible investment strategizing. All these “developments of the future” saddle so much cost over time that it makes the financial balancing act to stay long-term sustainable very precarious.

Do note that it was not just "exuberance and pride", it was also a way to get white families out of inner-city mixed-race neighbourhoods, and to enforce segregation.
