Hi, I'm Kavish!
I am a Master of Science in Business Analytics candidate at UC Davis who will be graduating in June.

I have 1 year of experience solving Machine Learning and Optimization problems at scale as a Data Scientist in a SaaS AI startup focusing in retail/fashion.

I'm looking for full time roles as a Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Data Analyst within the US.
The basic combat mechanics of FromSofts games are specifically blocking, parrying, rolling, stamina, and general movement, along with all the different forms of attacking, casting and item consumption. Most of the difficulty of FromSofts games comes from mastering these mechanics, and then learning every boss encounter individually.

To say the games are mechanically easy just seems like such a nonsensical take to me. Simple perhaps, but lots of simple things are especially difficult.

RIP mate.

Deepest condolences for the Nadellas in this time of grief.

Reading Satya's book it was apparent how much he loved his son. I hope the trauma of losing him doesn't mean his tenure at MS is over. He has done great things for disabled people all around the world through improving accessibility on Xbox and Windows. Something as simple as being able to play games because of the initiatives he put in place make the world of difference.

As far as I understand the Russian equipment is awful and unmaintained. As a result soldiers in the field just use cell phones and Google Maps to coordinate. Yes they have the original military equipment as the source of the commands but it's much easier to communicate via cell phones.

If you know Russians this makes 100% perfect sense...

The solution isn't to remove it. Just move the locations slightly to an empty field nearby.
Ok good point, I think I got side tracked with my comment.

Perhaps a better analogy would be: Someone who claims to be a chess player, but keeps getting disqualified from tournaments for making illegal moves.

For example, when it comes to QCD and the structure of the nucleus, we have no idea if our theories are correct or even make sense. One of the millon dollar Millenium prizes is currently being offered for anyone that can prove the equations of QCD are even well defined or if it is possible to even have a bound state (i.e for particles to exist at all) within a QCD framework.

So my point is the underlying theory is really only described in the perturbation theory setting. I.e., in the high energy limit (smashing things together). Now the equations and mathematics behind QCD are very attractive and probably contain a great many aspects of what we will eventually become the full theory, but until we can predict, for example, the mass of a nucleus from those equations (or anything at all whatsoever), then they are certainly not proven.

So far all we know is that these equations can predict what comes out (and in what direction) when we smash particles together.
Well if your employer is based in NYC and they expect you to come to the office then presumably they can’t pay you Indonesian median pay. How is that hard to understand?

If you’re talking about remote, maybe the argument stands up more, but I’d add that if a remote worker adds less value to the company (which I believe as a rule to be true, like for like), then you would pay them accordingly by that reasoning.
It was sync specifically, and four years ago. Maybe it works now.

FWIW, I am hiring manager and reached out to 3 candidates from this month's thread.
> “Git for everything“ would be a multi-billion dollar startup easily.

Worked on a “Git for Word” project [1], which is currently on hold.

The diff part was manageable, though not trivial to get diffs that make sense for prose/regular text.

The hard parts are UX/UI (making Git concepts transparent to “normal” users) and merging. Yet without automatic merging, branching is not very convenient.

Would love to collaborate on this in the future again. Reach out if you are working in this space, happy to share.

The problem is that more publishers who hold well beloved IPs are moving in that direction, see for example Bethesda. So I think it's fair to be concerned.

As soon as they find out that a feature is lacking in Signal, they will just revert to the previous messenger that they were using.

> Signal is truly some awesome tech and I don’t understand the hate.

At least Element/Matrix is decentralized and is not just deployed on Google's Cloud as a centralized server and also doesn't have a untraceable ponzi cryptocurrency called MobileCoin as a feature that allows dark-net criminals, terrorists and extremists to fund their activities on a private blockchain.

Now I can see why Signal is so attractive to dark-net criminals and extremists, but it doesn't matter since the only way to stop them making those private transactions so easily on Signal is for Google to take down Signal's GCP instance.
Ever? Yes, of course. Right now ? No.

10Gbit/s Internet connectivity sounds like a lot, but it's only 10 times the speed of what we have now.

Think about RAM, CPU frequency, non-volatile storage, and graphical rendering capability these have increased orders of magnitude, as have Internet connection speed.

I don't know what it will be used for, but I'm certain that new use-cases will reveal themselves as that speed becomes broadly available.

It will certainly allow new business models, for things like storage of raw video and video editing, but broadly, I think it's unexplored territory.
> It's unfortunate that a quality education is a finite pie.

Good that it's not then? With modern technology, one can get started on ultra cheap automated courses (not necessarily just static lectures, can be interactive/VR experience like good computer games), coupled with one on one help from paid and volunteer tutors around the world. Than those who show potential can in due time be given access to expensive research equipment and world renoun professors. All without a need to make a life making or breaking decision based on a single admission process. Let students decide for themselves if and when to conclude that a subject is not for them. Current system amounts to artificial gatekeeping of success.
> Ultimately, I can't justify the idea of rejecting students based on race, but when I look at those demographics I just don't see much to get worked up about.

If you look at those particular stats, sure, it doesn't sound particularly objectionable. But if you look at others: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/politics/harvard-affirmative-...

> Under questioning from SFFA lawyer John Hughes, Fitzsimmons detailed some of the recruitment efforts that begin the selection process. Harvard mails recruitment letters to black and Hispanic high schoolers with middle-range SAT scores, Fitzsimmons acknowledged, yet only sends such letters to Asian Americans if they have scored more than 200 points higher.

> According to charts Hughes displayed, Harvard sends such recruiting letters to black, Hispanic, and Native American students with top grades who hit at least 1100 on the combined math and verbal SAT score (the top score is 1600). To receive such letters under similar circumstances, Asian American men must have a combined score of 1380, and Asian American women, a combined score of 1350.

So, an individual Asian student needs to score much higher to have a chance at Harvard, compared to students of other ethnicities. That's very blatantly racial discrimination.

This amounts to, "sorry, we have enough people of your color, so we're gonna make it harder for you to get in." That's wrong. Period.
The principles below are specifically for take-home tests, though some will still apply to technical interviews conducted live:

1. Design tests to be open-ended and demonstrate how a candidate thinks, rather than ones that drive toward a binary pass/fail outcome. Asking why a candidate worked on the pieces they did and where they would focus if given more time gets you high signal without requiring as much time from the candidate.

2. Provide clarity on the grading rubric. When candidates understand how they'll be evaluated, they'll spend less time on work that doesn't result in higher signal to the company. For example, having a candidate write some tests or talk through how they would approach testing is great! Expecting full test coverage isn't as useful.

3. Scoping is the toughest part about test design. Try to choose topics that closely mirror the day-to-day work in the role itself but that can be boiled down to a 1-2 hour task. You want to make sure that candidates who perform well are more likely to succeed if hired, but you also want to keep it short. From interviewing 50 hiring managers who designed the hiring processes at Basecamp/Medium/Mailchimp/etc, they revealed that the candidates who were ultimately hired consistently spent 2x the recommended time, which means that designing a 3-hour take-home is asking top candidates to commit 6 hours. It's a tough ask in the current hiring climate.

Here are 3 examples for inspiration:

- Front-end role for Playhouse (YC S21), building TikTok for real estate: https://app.mightyacorn.io/demo/playhouse-hiring-challenge

This is what affirmative action will look like. If you want to see the context of such an action happening somewhere for long time, take the example of India.

There it is much more explicit and written in the law. For some subjects, the criteria it takes for one cohort to get admission in the top college is the same one in which the other cohort will not even get admission in any college in the top 20. You can see this in undergraduate level admissions the most. I read interesting stats on this long time back, will need to see if I can find them.

However, in case of South Asia/India, the argument is positive discrimination now to correct for negative discrimination in the past. The same argument can't be made in US though against Asians.
Thanks, I tried it a few years ago, it was ok for Qt projects, but too integrated. And lacked many settings/features for general purpose use. Maybe that has changed by now.

IIRC, Ivy League schools actually have a lower proportion of white students compared to the percentage of the total populace that's white.

Of course, if you look at grade schools, it looks like racial minorities are 'overrepresented' compared to the general population, so it's possible there's just fewer young white people.

I actually think the hit volume based damage in both makes this rather untrue. Both Souls games and SF have moves where damage happens completely incongruously to the animation. This is partly what makes both ‘hard’ because there is this piece of hidden knowledge that when you first encounter it seems really unfair because you get hit by attacks that look like they missed. It’s somewhat remedied in fighting games because they incorporate practice modes that expose all the hidden state.
I generally agree with this article - and the videos of him and Chomsky saying many of the same things back in 2014/15 and earlier and later. As long as we're cool that Putin still holds ultimate and most of the blame.

I think this means that you believe Putin is staying, right?

I was easily able to get federal money for college even though my parents were doing fine and supporting me. I didn't cheat or lie or even bend the rules, I just had a secret power: I was married. Because of that, my parents' financial status wasn't even entered into the picture. It didn't even come up on any form.
>Who is spending money on all of these awful games?

Have you ever played games like Rise of Kingdoms [1], or a lot of similar game of gathering resources, upgrading, attack etc. During one of cross server event you would see the whole server burning Millions ( USD ) worth of items within hours in just one battle. I still remember there was a whale working in investment bank ( or so he says ) that got $50k worth of whatever in-game resources wiped because he was busy in a meeting. He paid another $50K within a week to built back his troops.

These people easily spend $200K to million+ over their entire time in the game. And some will even help you to pay for resources in game as part of being the Guild.

And 80%+ of mobile game IAP revenues comes from just top 2-4% of players. So it isn't as another comment suggest lots of $20 to $50 dollars around from casual players.

Why do they do that? I dont know, I guess they want to be the king inside a virtual world. These freemium games means a lot of people gets to enjoy it without paying a cent. This also generate a feedback loop to the psychology of being king, after all what is the point of being King without followers?

It is unfortunate both Apple and Google are sucked into these money as part of their services revenue. Although I see this as an opportunity for a third mobile operating system. ( Hello Xbox Mobile? )

We use go in an embedded Linux environment. I do C#for web stuff and it would never cross my mind to do c# in an armv7 Raspberry. Also what about cross compilation? The c# runtime is not easily available to use in embedded devices at least that i know of. With go you just set it to compile statically and set the arch target. I can deploy it as a single binary. Love it after years of maintaining cross tool chains.
> If you’re talking about remote

I am, as the post is too.

> then you would pay them accordingly by that reasoning.

Okay, but still none of these arguments means that one remote worker should be paid differently from another remote worker.
Other commenters in other threads say that these marks are placed by civilians working on behalf of the Russian government. It makes some sense. No software is needed, and traffic analysis looking for spies is unlikely to flag https requests to google maps. Also, Russian owned map services are supposedly blocked in Ukraine. Some people claim to have worked with Russia in this way for anti-isis strikes in syria.

At the very least, they are defacement, and google should pull them. Hopefully someone from their maps abuse team will take a look. HN search of articles in the last 24 hours should find the comments I’m referring to.

I can type 120 WPM on QWERTY but the only time I ever need to actually type that fast is for a typing test (and maybe copywriting).

The real productivity improvement is knowing the right tools and how and when to use them IMO. That’s the biggest lack that I see.
I also use sc (spreadsheet calculator), a terminal-based spreadsheet program which uses a plain text file format. Very convenient for dealing with tabular or numerical data, which would be cumbersome to work with on a textual file.

It really depends in coding style. For example, I always like to write the smallest possible change to address a feature and bug fix that's testable, then I start writing unit tests, then back to code, then back to unit tests and so on. So it's not uncommon to do a lot of incremental builds (but yeah 30/hour is on the high side). Sometimes this is not feasible, e.g. working on a complex component which has a simple public API but does a lot of heavy lifting internally - in that case it takes a while to get to a testable change.

I am all about the larger intent behind TermKit, but intent alone cannot carry a project to success.

A successful replacement for current textual shells will not look anything like the textual shells we have today; everything will be reimagined and will make sense, and will be very foreign to you and I.

A shell with graphics tacked on is not the revolution needed in this space. Waveform Graphics, Sixel and ReGIS (please look those up if you are not familiar) came to DEC terminals in the 1970s and 1980s, and still do not have widespread adoption. The addition of graphics isn't enough on its own, with or without new programs to blend the border between text and imagery.

A true leap is required to gain market share in this space. Simple evolution of the existing shell experience is just simply not enough. TermKit, Waveform Graphics, Sixel, and ReGIS effectively prove this.

I can not say that I know what whatever replaces our current terminals will be, but it will not look like TermKit. Or ReGIS, or Sixel.

> Do I suddenly become better if I move to SF?

You probably do - you're probably hanging out with other programmers more, maybe you can meet up with colleagues sometimes - or, even better, suppliers and clients.

And you have more options for other employers, so you can capture more of the spread as producer surplus rather than consumer surplus.
