Yup. Anything involving the courts is high risk. If someone is spinning up a small entity to pursue some legal theory, it usually isn’t super high risk for them in practice as they can contain their losses.

But existing entities with cash to lose, it’s rarely worth it unless the payoff is potentially huge and the case is really solid, and often not even then.

Litigation Lawyers are great at making solid seeming situations super ambiguous and hard to figure out when it suits them, and these things can be drawn out for decades at incredible expense.

And especially for software patents, there is no such thing as a really solid case anymore.

It’s essentially a form of chicken/mutually assured destruction, near as I can tell.
The US stats were pretty messed up, it will be clear in 5-10 years that the US didn't do significantly worse than similar countries, they just counted differently.

> Everyone ... knows west lead Ukraine on, refused to listen to Russian concerns (valid or not), all for a defunct military alliance that has lost its purpose and only exists for expansion.

This is just propaganda of another kind. NATO exists to protect states from the terror of bully-states like Russia. That's why you see states famously neutral now clamoring to get in.

Russia concern-trolled its way right into an invasion and it looks like its propaganda worked, on you.

So the book is critical about the fact that Hawking was a celebrity, among other things. I get it, but personally I'd much prefer it there were more phycisists, mathematicians, doctors, biologists, etc etc. celebrities. We spend way too much time and money on people who kick a ball for a living, or who pretend to sing or act, while displaying their good looks. We can do better than that.

PS there is a section in this talk by Dalton Caldwell from YC on 'how to create luck' (in the context of applying to YC). It's really great on just this topic:

https://www.ycombinator.com/library/6t-how-to-apply-and-succ...

There's also a separate short talk on creating luck that has an interesting story about how Brex started, and also about how sometimes you need an "outsider's philosophy":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmEyx9TEkRw

These helped my thinking. The application is a helpful way to think about your startup even if you don't submit it. And once it's done, you might as well submit anyway :)

Good luck!
After just starting a grad program after 12 years in industry. I'd have to disagree. While a large fraction of homework is busy work designed to give the illusion of challenge and rigor - tests simply estimate whether someone has memorized the material sufficiently for a short 1 hour exam.

In CS, a ~4-20 hour project is vastly more representative of how well someone understands the material and could apply it in a real world setting than a 40 minute multiple choice exam. At the advanced levels this is true for fields such as Physics, English, History or any others.

Maybe we should ask ourselves how to give better assignments in a class that aren't simply busy work?
Personally I always preferred quizzes for that. I've always been a very strong autodidact though, there are probably people who prefer getting dragged through things by homework.

I teach high school English, so I have a greater degree of freedom in my curriculum development (there is no textbook. I create everything). That is actually not my issue.

My problems are mostly reality/logistical constraints. There is always more I could do, more I could give, more I could help every single student, but I would have to learn to freeze time or never sleep.

It’s unhealthy and irrational, but I feel shame for not giving more when I know what a kid needs but I circumstantially lack the capacity to give it to them.
The whole context here is that a man has invaded a country and is taking it over despite the very best efforts and extremely firm rejection of its citizens.

And yet your argument is that, in an adjacent territory he already controls, the citizens should somehow be more successful at removing him?

In what possible way??

Either he is not a dictator and the people of Ukraine shouldn't worry because they'll just be able to "get rid of him" anyway, or he is a dictator and blaming Russian civilians for being under his dictatorial control is victim-blaming.

This doesn't work both ways.
Berkeley/Cal system/California are outliers, but they could be a sign of what's to come for medium-to-large sized public systems, such as those in the Big Ten. There are some good ideas here.

- Quarterly semesters would reduce downtime for area business and would increase housing occupancy rates. Professors would still need semesters off for research, publishing, vacations, etc., but otherwise it seems like a great way to grow college towns into larger, less monopolistic cities. Unless I am missing something obvious.

- Satellite campuses would be more marketable if the quality of instruction and research/publishing is the same. Specialized, but not inferior.
Posadas was right.
I didn't say that particular model was perfect. I said Apple has been doing far better than competitors. Which is true. I set up and used hundreds of Macs and hundreds of PCs in 2018 as part of my job. I am pretty confident as to which performed better overall thermally.

And of course, Apple has made huge progress since then (M1, better thermal designs, new fan designs which are quieter and more efficient) whereas PC makers have made basically zero progress.
Almost every movie that features Tom Hardy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iSOWRsmibc

And from personal experience, from the last movie I watched: https://youtu.be/AJ0uqAr8Q4E?t=106 . I'm not a native speaker, but (1) I've been communicating exclusively in English for years, (2) my hearing is quite good, (3) I'm wearing headphones, (4) there's nothing else happening in the scene apart from dialogue and music. But I still cannot understand Anne Hathaway's two sentences following the time I linked.

This movie also had a lot of another pet peeve of mine, which is shoulder dialogue where the foreground character is clearly not speaking, or saying something different.
This is super impressive, would definitely pay for it if more polished. Maybe integrate with tldraw? Anyways, amazing job.
I felt really fancy about a decade ago learning python and adopting it for even the most trivial tasks. Then I realized at least half the stuff I wrote doesn't even run now without modification. Meanwhile bash scripts I wrote that predated that all still work perfectly. Now I'm back on the bash big time.

My teaching experience is limited, but for teaching compsci I've had good results with programmatically graded assignments, where the students get unlimited submissions but also machine-enforced deadlines. (I liked this when I was a student, and I've liked structuring my own class this way too.) One of the big benefits is that you can be maximally clear about what the problem set is asking the students to do, because you give them an example input and an example correct output, and for each submission you tell them what their output should have been. But each grading run uses a randomized input, so they can't just hardcode the answers.

Compsci is perfect for this, because students can fix their bug quickly and resubmit their whole assignment. For math, I guess you'd want to avoid having them repeat problems they already got correct. But for other subjects that don't really have a place for "random input", I guess this doesn't work?
> apps like Uber and Lyft don’t give her the details of a ride, such as its distance, expected time, and pay, until after she’s accepted it – at which point she has little choice but to follow through, even if it loses her money.

> “I find out that it’s going to take me 45 minutes to go five miles, and I’m going to get about $5 for the ride. My only choice then is to either basically do volunteer work by accepting the ride, or canceling it. And we are disciplined, and threatened with being terminated, if we cancel it.

>“So don’t call me an independent contractor, because that’s not what we are.”

As a former Uber/Lyft driver I exaggerate when I say I've read a million words Gig jobs, but the above is a good summary of the problem. You're not shown in advance what the ride is and then you're penalized for cancelling it. One day you can't log in anymore but they won't say why, but you know from talking to other drivers that you get "fired" after cancelling too many rides.

There are other problems, such as not being compensated when gas prices go through the roof, but there is a hidden problem that many drivers don't take into account: Every mile on your car decreases it's value and if you do the calculations you might find out you're taking equity out of your car and putting it in your pocket, so you're not making money and you might be selling your car bit by bit for pennies on the dollar.

I don't think that's true, he kept putting the emphasis the fact that a pipeline would mean Germany financing putin and his regime, so it needed to be blocked. Sure, there is absolutely an element of gaining leverage on Europe but that's still a pretty counterproductive thing to do if he was a russian asset. Pushing for more military spending in NATO, especially to defend eastern Europe would also have been very weird if he was putin's puppet.

You can definitely think that the real reasons were different but that's just speculation. What matters are the results, and I'd say that blocking nordstream and pushing for more NATO spending is exactly the opposite of anything putin would've wanted from a puppet. Otherwise imo you'd really need to stretch the truth to conclude those were just a side effect of other trump's policies when he repeatedly insisted that it was to counter russia.

(Putin wouldve probably have wanted the US president to not want any leverage on the EU and let them just be because the western euro countries sure weren't interested in anything related to European defense anyways.)

This is awesome -- thank you Jed! Now I'm really seriously considering it!
TBH reading this article really didn’t give much, IMHO.

I guess the context here is mainly a university? Or is it senior high?

Anyway, I spent around three years in college and the value-add for me wasn’t the grades I got. The value I got out of it was the foundation that I laid and the inspiration I got. I got in touch with materials/domains that I might never have encountered otherwise. And to me that’s truly a gift that keeps on giving.
this is personally challenging to me, and gets me out of my comfort zone -- in the right ways. Nobody needs to care about my own learning trajectory for server-side software, but, I will say that I have been hoarding 'good' bash scripts for a bunch of years, after having a bad start with Perl for server-side things. Bash needs no comments here, but I use it everyday. I avoided GO-lang partly due to an insider vibe from Xooglers, and partly internal prioritization. This article strikes that nerve today. thanks for posting .. no promises but bookmarked.

anyway.

We've past this point with Intel ME, AMD's counterpart, and UEFI being an embedded OS which can run arbitrary binaries with free pass to everything on the system, almost ~10 years ago.

The processors and the platform is so complex now, even with a secure UEFI, there are many points into the system both with add-on cards and your Ethernet port and bowels of the platform which has many controllers with Ring -1 (and deeper) access, where Ring 0 is the OS kernel level access.

Asking the rich to pay even a fraction of their fair share is not "punishing" the rich.

Just so we're clear, punishing them would involve, say, jailing them or confiscating all but $50k or so of their net worth and then making them work at Burger King for a month or two. That would be punishing.

Asking for a more progressive and fair tax system does not "punish" anyone.
I knew some people who ran a popular regional tech conference. You’re exactly right that it’s incredibly expensive to run anything like this at a traditional venue.

As far as I could tell, the sponsors had zero additional asks. They paid money in exchange for the pre-determined advertising package to have their logo printed everywhere. At a certain level they got a booth where they could hand out swag and recruit. They didn’t direct the conference itself, though. Maybe it’s different at the mega-conferences, but locally there was no indication that the sponsors were trying to capture the conference.

The financial risk was relatively serious. At first they tried to keep ticket prices as low as possible but ended up losing money after things like refunds (more then expected) and surprise expenses (also more then expected).

Conferences are also a lightning rod for drama. No matter how much they stayed ahead of current trends, there was always someone trying to stir up conflict and drama over something related to the conference or the speakers or the topics. If they gained enough angry supporters it resulted in a wave of refund requests that could ruin the profitability.

Ultimately they ended the conference. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost more money than they brought in over the years. The actual benefit for them was in their careers. Being the organizer of a medium size tech conference is an easy way to make your resume look very impressive. One of them landed a series of impressive jobs and then was quietly let go from most of them because being a conference organizer doesn’t necessarily translate to being a good manager, but that’s a story for a different day. I’m sure he can still walk his resume into most companies and get it to the top of the pile based on his conference activities years ago.
You could call it unwilling to work hard. Or it could be difficulty prioritizing work, or ADHD, or disorganization.

Are those traits what we’re testing for, or are we testing for knowledge of the subject?
Merge operation over different levels of log structured merge trees allows one to build hierarchical index. My work used uniform splitting of indices, e.g., each 1024 samples at some level we add one sample at level above, but it is quite possible to have different splitting criteria. One such example criteria would be "how good is linear approximation of data" and another can be "how long is common prefix of the keys stored".

This "single pass learned index" is essential feature of log structured merge trees, basically, you can (ab)use it for your fun and profit.

What is more, this approach is not confined to "short integers" - one can use it for keys of any size.

And, finally, LSM trees provide you with the solution of insertion problem authors of video mentioned - just write your new data next to old data and merge them when time has come. Even when you do not write anything new, you can merge two data levels into one when you found you perform merging on reading too much.
Or maybe they have better things to do with their time.

Do you watch many superhero movies? Because I feel like you must not.

Many of the characters are literal gods, and many more are just uncannily good at everything because of some hand wavey backstory.

Even the characters that start off "normal" tend to become awesome by simply being in the right place at the right time and being exposed to some external force (rather than through overcoming flaws or weaknesses on their own).
In CS courses, I always appreciated when we were given access to the grading scripts/unit tests used by course staff. It made that feedback loop immediate, and unless you were intentionally doing something weird you usually knew exactly what grade you were getting for your submission.

As a TA, it was funny to see the ways a few students would overfit those tests. In one extreme case I literally saw a student replace a complicated function definition with a if-else chain that just determined which of the 4 test cases it was being run on…

I'm wondering what the sweet spot is nowadays as I know a couple of startups delivering video content, and at a glance it seems this is costing them more to do than it should through the Paas options they are using.

There are various schools of art criticism that argue that the purpose of art is not to teach morality. I've just noticed in the last few years that the teaching of morality through the arts seems to have come back into vogue, with concomitant disciplining of those that are deemed immoral, but the funny thing with moralizers is the absolute certainty with which they believe that the purpose of art is to teach morality, their morality, and that they do not seem to have any awareness when they talk that there may be other viewpoints regarding art.
