Have applied to multiple senior engineering (IC - individual contributor) roles, and have never been ghosted this way (in the US). I've always got a phone screen, and a polite "not a fit" or something neutral (for the hiring co.) as a decline.

To be ghosted, 1) on a Zoom 2) On a call, scheduled by other party - is either massively unprofessional, or there has been massive miscommunication of some kind (possibly by the recruiter). Please try to spend extra time with recruiter on every aspect when scheduling calls. You don't deserve to be discouraged in this fashion, but you also have to be careful in where you send in your candidacy.
Three Strategies for Speaking Up for Introverts
> The ironic thing is many of the rank-and-file of those people think that distrust gives them greater access to the truth, when in reality it just makes them easier to lie to.

I've had some heated discussions with my father over this. He has a disdain for anything reported by main-stream media, that is at least partially warranted. But he overcorrects to this by accepting the reporting by fringe media outlets / decentralized media figures (podcasters, youtubers, etc) without the same critical lens that he would otherwise apply. If someone says something to the tune of: "the MSM won't report on this because <insert reasoning here>, but we will!", he almost always accepts what they say next. It's very frustrating for me since he will say this line as an automatic "I win this argument" trump card on any idea regardless of the independent merits.

This shouldn't be a bold statement, but I feel like some people need this shouted at them: Just because something is reported on by a main stream media outlet doesn't mean it's automatically true. And conversely just because something is reported on by a main stream media outlet doesn't mean it's automatically false either. Alternative media is perfectly capable of presenting misleading, or false information!
I misinterpreted your algorithm. So you're creating a table of all permutations given the number of heads and tails you got, and then looking it up in the table.

This is almost entirely a definitional issue, and those are typically somewhat less interesting than the heat generated by the participants who don't realize that indicate.

If economic growth is defined simply in terms of tons of refined resources pulled out of the ground, then yes, of course economic growth has a limit. Trivially so.

If economic growth is defined as providing people things they want, a definition that normally makes economics make much more sense, it becomes much fuzzier. What is the "economic value" of an SD card loaded down with the entire run of the Simpsons and Friends? What is the "economic value" of an MP3? What is the "economic value" of knowing how to run a boarding school successfully? There's no obvious upper limit to how many desires could be satiated, especially once you get away from brute material concerns like food and water. If you're willing to go sci-fi, and let machines and perhaps simulated humans have desires that the economy could satisfy it becomes even harder (and as we already let "companies" have such desires it's not really that far a journey from where we are), and it was already pretty hard.

(Note I'm not saying there are "no" limits in that case, I'm saying they become a lot harder to define, and much, much harder to defend. If there are limits, but we can't reach them by the end of a the longest lifetime a baby born today will live for, it's not particularly clear that our opinion has any meaning or force. The economy of 2132 will still have physical constraints but I wouldn't care to guess a whole lot about its nature and how "large" we would consider it to be versus today's economy. For that matter, how "large" is the 2022 economy versus 1822? It's a lot harder a question than meets the eye.)

In order to see spec sheet read/write speeds you can/should bypass the filesystem and the buffer cache. On Linux you can write directly to the device node (make sure to enable O_DIRECT and make your write sizes big enough).

>When you have an incompatible religion

That is a BIG generalisation and assumes there is a compatible religion. This is why Ukrainian propaganda is so dangerous. Poland and Hungary still have massive problems with LGBT rights and general tolerance. All signs point to the fact that Ukraine will be similar if not worse.

The tech is already good enough for anyone to make a convincing deepfake, I think, and especially state actors - or people with deep enough wallets - can perfect it. I mean some of the memes of e.g. Obama saying something he never did are convincing enough.
In the EU? At least in my locale, it’s €16 a month, per person. I don’t care about music streaming, and the ads got so bad I ended up installing an ad blocker, which prior to that, it didn’t bother me. But interruptions every 10-15 seconds was ridiculous.
I wondered if there was a geographic pattern to the ghosting. I haven't heard of ghosting on an interview happening in the USA, my employment market.

Though apparently plenty of others have, as mentioned in sibling comments.

What I find funny is that the most popular cable news channel--Fox News--is still not the "main stream media".
What strikes me as "not normal" is scheduling the interview and no-one shows up. I suspect those interviews were never scheduled at all and the headhunter is just going for "volume" to see what sticks. It's a crappy tactic.

On the other hand, I've had plenty of recruiters say they're recruiting for $HOT_JOB and then ghost. I've gotten feedback from a few I actually talk to more than a month and the feedback is typically along the lines of:

"The client said resume looks like you're a contractor". Spoiler alert - yes, and this is on the resume, I just take it as a softball "no" because I refuse to believe HR is that stupid.

"The position was filled before I could get you in front of them" which might be a "No" but more likely is "the position was created with someone in mind to fill it but we have to go through the motions of posting it..."

"You are out of their price range" - damn right skippy. No-one works for free.

But thats if I get feedback, it's far more common to simply get ghosted after they submit your resume.
After they changed (raised) their pricing they simply removed the cloud drive with no notice and no way to access existing files.
Has there been any effort to introduce cryptographic signing of media in a way that makes it easy for viewers to validate authenticity?
Sure, it’s much faster than Python, agreed. But is it fast enough to implement highly optimized numerical algorithms in a way that can compete with Fortran or C? That I’m not so sure of, and if not you’re stuck with the crappy FFI.
What do either of these incidents have to do with trust in the media? Both incidents were fabrications of the government. In both cases the media was a tool used by government to spread the lies.
In my experience, this is normal for some companies. I am a little surprised by your experience with Microsoft, but the others are relatively new, which means they have limited experience in interviewing and reviewing applicants for senior positions. They would do better by outsourcing the process to an HR IT headhunter. That way, they can keep working and let the hiring process sit with the consultant.
> Tesla just did that by firing the employee in question

I think that was a mistake. Taking away the beta privileges would have been sufficient.

> blurred the line b/w normal business operation and politics by disabling FSD

You're way down playing the impact of the kind of mindset that the average joe has about FSD Beta as portrayed in mainstream media. It's so hostile, emotionally charged and void of any evidence of actual danger, that it pushes the bias needle against Tesla to the breaking point. If your blood sweat and tear is being pummeled around the clock, you get into politics in a blink and double down with whatever you can muster.

Those who think Tesla is just in it for the money, well, there is no conversation to be had with them. They'll catch up. But if one actually believes in what Tesla claims to exist for, then it doesn't take a lot of thinking to see they're right in pushing back aggressively as they do.

Ask HN: Rekindling Intrinsic Motivation
I work at one of a small group of companies that develops a somewhat niche technology that I fell in love with many years ago. For several years, I had a driving intrinsic motivation and truly enjoyed my work. At some point I was “discovered” by a successful manager, who elevated me to a more visible position, and in the intervening years, I also had a lot of success and monetary rewards. But I’ve come to realize that my intrinsic motivation has flipped almost entirely to extrinsic, and I am now acting conservatively in my career and have become too cynical about my work and contributions. I still appreciate the tech itself, but I can’t see it the way I used to. In my early 40’s, I recognize that I’m acting responsibly for myself and my family when I consider my financial benefits and stability. But I deeply miss the intrinsic motivation that went away with a perspective shift. Have any of you been through something similar and shifted your perspective back to what you found to be a more healthy and exciting motivation? I am not just asking about finding something new and interesting here, but rather about countering a more cautious and deadening habit of mind.
I’ve had three interviews at various stages in the last week or two and it looks like all of them have ghosted me after follow up. Maybe it’s something I’m doing but seems like a trending behavior that I’ve also read from others. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth, I’m sorry you’re experiencing it.
Too bad it is Mac only, no Linux support.
The Linux kernel has an x87 emulator.
are you confident in claiming that many areas of Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania etc share in all of these values?

The crux of the problem here is that people are searching for reasons to justify actions that are rooted in racism. That is how you end up with vague discussions about feelings, incompatible cultures, "values" and so on.
I think right now this is normal. Anytime before it is not. The reason? It’s a bloodbath of getting hiring committees together with how bad retention has been across the board. People are being promoted into jobs they’ve never done and hiring is often one of those responsibilities. Recruiters, hiring managers, and committees are hardly on the same page and time zones.

I do expect this to get better as the reshuffling starts to stabilize but I don’t think we’re done across the industry quite yet.

Sorry you had a shitty experience. I’ve been on both sides recently and have covered for no shows who are supposed to help interview. No person interviewing ever deserves to be ghosted.
The PySyft project is well-documented and researched if you want to learn about the technology.
I wonder how much of that is because of the medium. You had to film it, with film.

The film itself cost money. You had only a certain amount of it on-set.

You then had to wait for it to be developed to see how it turned out.

You had to synch audio to it, so you had to really think about what you wanted to say and for how long.

Finally, the distributed product had a standard length for distribution. (The reels sent out.)

That's fine if Americanos means something different in Spanish. But in the English language it's most typical use is citizens of the USA. That's fine if you want to use the word differently, but don't complain when people don't know what you're talking about.
Is this true? I don't see much evidence that the technology is progressing in a direction where models will require less training data, if anything the trend seems to be towards models with higher and higher parameter counts.
Coming in late, but I think you're misunderstanding the suggestion, which was to make pedestrian avoidance standard equipment on all new cars, not just autonomous vehicles.

That would make the system more complicated by baking in extra assumptions.

And eg it would probably perform worse at translating from English to French than a naive system. (Unless you preprocess your corpus extensively to figure out when you get English and when you get a snippet of French.) GPT-3 is surprisingly good at translating English to French.

Another problem is that English has not just one text-to-phonetic transcription: different accents pronounce words differently. For just one example:

> n most non-rhotic accents, if a word ending in written "r" is followed immediately by a word beginning with a vowel, the /r/ is pronounced, as in water ice. That phenomenon is referred to as "linking R". Many non-rhotic speakers also insert an epenthetic /r/ between vowels when the first vowel is one that can occur before syllable-final r (drawring for drawing). The so-called "intrusive R" has been stigmatized, but many speakers of Received Pronunciation (RP) now frequently "intrude" an epenthetic /r/ at word boundaries, especially if one or both vowels is schwa. For example, the idea of it becomes the idea-r-of it, Australia and New Zealand becomes Australia-r-and New Zealand, the formerly well-known India-r-Office and "Laura Norder" (Law and Order). The typical alternative used by RP speakers (and some rhotic speakers as well) is to insert a glottal stop wherever an intrusive R would otherwise have been placed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English

Btw, even without any explicit pronunciation data, I would expect the system to get a pretty good idea of how pronunciation works by essentially using the same technique human linguists use to reconstruct old pronunciations:

They observe what kinds of mistakes people make.

Eg when you see people mixing up "there" and "their" and "they're" in the corpus, that tells you that in modern English these three are pronounced almost the same.

From spelling mistakes in words like carburetor you can figure out that unstressed vowels in English are pretty much all pronounced the same: as a schwa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa

You can also learn a lot from observing rhymes.
People calling it looks fake are not exactly the targeted audience. My mom and dad have been countless times fooled by whatsapp forwarded videos which obviously looks fake to me but not to them.

Oh, you know, "where there's smoke there's fire" and "many people are saying" and "look into it, is all I'm saying" and "whether it's true or not, it just raises questions."

That's the way these things usually work. A slow erosion of public opinion through insinuation. People like Tucker Carlson aren't going to instantly go back to brown-nosing Putin, but they'll slip in occasional questions about Zelensky here and there, until certain insinuations are taken as ground truth.
This argument doesn't seem to be particularly strong, and to be honest the overconfidence comes off a bit embarrassing for physicists. It basically amounts to:

1) Energy use must keep increasing for utility to increase. This is empirically false-- energy consumption in the developed world has already been decreasing for some time. And population growth is below replacement rate in much of it, so even if per capita energy use were to increase again, total energy use may not.

2) The physicist rejects utility from new technology (Not me. I suspect many would prefer the smell of real flowers—complete with aphids and sneezing;). How is this different from the Amish? Some will reject all new technologies, others will embrace the ones they like and gain new utility from them.

Valid point, but I'm unlikely to want to index those. I don't use cloud apps much in my personal/hobbyist browsing.
I’m not sure that’s true, certainly not my experience and not an experience I’ve ever heard of (hence the wholesale confusion in this thread). Scheduling conflicts, sure, people miss interviews on occasion because of unforeseen circumstances… but I’ve never, ever been ghosted by an employer or recruiter once I was in the interview funnel.
Cookies as tech say nothing about privacy. If you want to store information that you refuse to share your private data - that almost certainly is getting stored in a cookie.

You can route connections on different layers than IP routing. We commonly talk about http request routing as in dispatch based on the domain/path. I'm happy with "routing" as in directing traffic via DNS resolution. I doubt anyone here is confusing that.

You realize that 10% growth for 100 years would mean our economy is 13,780x bigger than it is now, right?

Of course most people are arguing that growth (minus population growth) is close to zero already. Hardly anyone is saying 10%.

And of course you probably aren't going to live 100 years more, even with new health advances.

But still.

This is something unlikely to matter much for 10 years, but completely ignoring it over a 30-50 year horizon seems misguided.
I guess I now understand your position, the question is fair but I think its fundamentals are wrong. There's no benefit to accepting, forgiving and finding workarounds for out-of-spec behaviour that causes arbitrary unfairness.

The discussion should end at the conclusion that (those) programmers should write better code, they have written bad code and not that the victim should adapt around the bad code.

>Are there limits to economic growth? (nature.com)

There is no limit to imagination other than time and resource, however if its possible to extend lifespans indefinitely, there may be no limit to imagination, and that might truly open up the field of quantum physics.

However living within one's means or resources is what could limit lifespans and thus imagination if breeding continues unabated and thus stagnation of development & efficiency within a population and new resources can not be inputted.

External inputs could include getting into space for additional resources, Helium13 is reportedly a good nuclear with little radioactive waste, rare on earth but abundant on the moon.

Imagination can create changes in real life, which can make life more efficient, but there might come a point where eugenics makes a comeback if biology, technology doesnt make people more intelligent.

Look at the factoid being bandied about that if everyone went vegetarian we could free up 80% of the farmland, of course this ignores lab grown meat which is reportedly 66% more efficient, but like all new tech there will be pitfalls which might harm the early adopters but there again might not.
