I've been on both sides of it several times. I've counseled several employees on what I thought of their external prospects (generally and for specific job listings) and sometimes that ends up with, "Yeah, I think you oughta go for that one." Other times, it ends up with "Here's what I see for you here; here's what I see there; you have to decide."

On the other end, I've told four different bosses that I was either considering looking or actively looking, and why. Sometimes that ends up in me changing jobs; sometimes it doesn't because we can address what isn't working for me or reach a middle ground that works.

I think people assume far too much ill intent on the part of managers. To me, I want you working for me because you want to be doing the work we're doing and are happy with the pay we're paying. If you're not happy, you're not going to do your best work, you're not going to grow as much as you are capable of, and selfishly, the company is not going to get the best output from you. I don't need everyone to be ecstatic and grinding away with perfect devotion, but I generally want people to be happy (for them, for me, and for the company).

From that, you'll correctly guess that I've 100% had employees reserve conference rooms to take interviews. It's no problem in my book. (Other employees: the first I knew they were looking was when they handed me a resignation letter. That's also perfectly OK; your business is your business.)
The market speaks for itself. One works as a store of value, one doesnt.
I tend to write in a very non-linear fashion, I'll often write individual sentences and paragraphs in a different order to the final product, as I think of them. Then I fill in the gaps, move things around until the writing forms a linear grammatical representation of the pure thought structure of the idea that existed in my brain.
Do you mean like this project, for example?

Lithium gives you about 10 kWh per kg, actually a little better than that:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-much-lithium-li-ion-vehic...

So, at the current elevated spot price, Li represents about 5% of the sticker price of a lithium battery. Plus, supply responses to demand growth in minerals tend to be relatively slow, which means that a short term price rise doesn't necessarily suggest a shortage of availability.
Cummins diesels, Toyota diesels, Kubota diesels, Yanmar diesels Yes definitely.

US Detroit diesels? lol no.
That he used his concern to guilt people to work over a holiday isn't a net positive. Good, effective leaders do not act that way.
I opened this link and was hoping for a conversation about how cryptography (not cryptocurrencies) has not made significant advancements in user experience. Not that the article wasn't interesting, but I've long felt that while crypto-primitives advance, the UX of cryptography APIs is still poor across all languages: It's hard to not screw things up, it's hard to understand for newcomers, and there is poor interoperability and no real common encryption file format (maybe gpg, but that's too complex and not widely adopted in popular tools).

This was really off topic. My apologies for that, but I feel like I had to get that off my chest :-)

Yup. Going back to the principles of distributed systems, I’m really wondering how “NTP but machine learning” can be used to minimize the clock skew to hundreds of nanoseconds with software only. The RTT between two servers can vary a lot — and way past the calculated minimum RTT.

The figures (eg $21M) and names dropped (eg Stanford) are an appeal to authority, which does make me curious.

I’d love to see some papers, I went through all of Balaji Prabhakar‘s publications (titles only), and didn’t see a single paper that sounded like “NTP but machine learning.

If anyone else knows more about this, I’d love to hear from you. Surely $21M doesn’t get dropped with at least someone doing due dill on the tech?
It looks like I was mistaken. They don't keep all of the documents in RAM, but I'm pretty sure they keep the search index (100 petabytes) in RAM. I'm struggling to find a source but I remember hearing it in a talk given by a Googler on YouTube. I also read somewhere that moving their whole index to RAM is how they brought their response times down from a couple of seconds to a couple hundred milliseconds.

I read that as “code written in a non memory safe language”, since that’s the nomenclature that memory safe languages use when they need to execute code that can’t have the guarantees the language typically enforces (often when interfacing with things outside their ecosystem).
Things like restoring connections can be mutex'd away in the implementation, yeah. Or whatever the actually-working version would be, maybe there needs to be a socket-owning parent process that never dies, I dunno.

But if you write

result = 0
while true:
result += 2 * do_something()

and change that to this and reload:

result = 1
while true:
result -= 2 * do_something()

then even "ideal, correct behavior" at a reload level can give you end result values that are not possible to get while running either version of the code end-to-end. It's not possible to "fix" that because it's doing exactly what you told it to do - either it preserves values and can produce impossible values, or it does not and it's not really hot-swapping any more. Or it does some mix of that and it has even more surprising / wrong edge cases.

There are of course uses for systems with hot-swap boundaries/transactions to prevent swapping during critical regions, or to do something like stop and replace actors rather than touching their internal state, and they exist (e.g. erlang). But that requires your code to already be adopting those semantics, and it inherently defines boundaries on what is swapped and what is not. In that case the root "inconsistent transaction state" concern is not really a hot swapping issue, it's a failure to define your boundaries and semantics correctly - a normal bug / relying on undefined behavior.

This comment and analogy fundamentally misunderstands the problem here, though:

> the value of homes seems to be almost entirely divorced from the fact that people need homes to live in.

The value of homes is so high precisely because people need somewhere to live, desperately. The price is not disconnected from need, it's entirely because of need.

And it's not that wealthy people are buying and hoarding homes. There's not some magic supply of 20-30% vacant unoccupied housing, there's desperately low vacancies, absolutely criminally low amounts of vacancies.

But refusing to acknowledge the panacea of building new homes does serve the purpose of wealthy people who currently own home. Because they are not hoarding homes, they are hoarding land. They are hoarding access to the ability to build more homes, the homes that are desperately needed. And in high demand areas, every person that goes and opposes new homes, that opposes upzoning, is directly responsible for displacing however many people those new homes would have built.

There is only one solution to high home prices, and that's building more. (Well, we could also institute strict border controls and price controls and completely destroy freedom of movement and access to jobs.)

Downplaying the primacy and necessity of building enough homes for people that want to live in an area only fuels higher prices, more hoarding of land, and more exclusion. There's zero upside to saying "we don't need to build" except to enable further financialization of housing and concentration of wealth in homeowners.
And maybe as the type of generation used for the marginal difference in energy required. If your country generates 90% of its electricity from hydroelectric and 10% from coal, you might still use coal for the comparison because hydroelectric power would be slow to add and the extra electricity for EVs would have to provided by coal
Not sure what to make of this:

"Black Americans estimate that, on average, Black people make up 52% of the U.S. adult population; non-Black Americans estimate the proportion is roughly 39%, closer to the real figure of 12%. First-generation immigrants we surveyed estimate that first-generation immigrants account for 40% of U.S. adults, while non-immigrants guess it is around 31%, closer to the actual figure of 14%."
Yes, I use Fennec too. It's not lack of extensions that's the problem. It's the user experience of the mobile UI of Firefox in general. It's terrible. Too many actions behind too many taps, long animation durations within the UI, can't move tabs around (except in Nightly), new tab page getting in the way of everything, no tabs on tablets, and more. Firefox 68 is still so much faster and superior in those regards, despite any issues it had.

His statements regarding subsidies being wrong / government interference in the market as contrasted to how actively Tesla searches for and applies for subsidies.

If he was always focused on the smallest of risks he would not have smoked a joint on camera while working to launch national security payloads for the NRO and DoD. It was just a very short sighted thing for him to do.
Back in the day we would make ‘firebowls’ with a metal bowl and burning various liquids, igniting it with a long lighter. We would burn everything from gasoline to corn oil that way.
Modular sections are pulled out and the first wall is replaced. Most of the section is put back in. You can pipeline this (like how any industrial process or digital processor works) to make the maintenance take a matter of days. The old material is low-level radioactive waste for less than a hundred years, then it's just metal. A 25 Bn USD 1 GWe plant could have 5 reactors and only need 3 to operate at max load continuously.

A tritium leak is orders of magnitude less worse than a fission meltdown in terms of poisoning the water table. In the absolute worst case the exclusion zone lasts 100 years.

A tritum or molten salt leak also trivial to contain compared to a fission meltdown. Ten feet of concrete. This is reflected in lower costs to build and relative ease to comply with regulation. Draw me the scenario where there is an explosion that cannot be contained by existing engineered solutions.

Your most reliable product is FUD and misinformation born of confident ignorance. You really ought to stop until you know more.
I think we're debating two different points. My point is about the perception of the trustworthiness of crypto by your average person. Your point seems to be that crypto is a better financial instrument.
I understand kids can be a big distraction during the work day, but isn’t a good thing to have more time with them after work, without the hour lost to the commute? Isn’t it desirable to be nearby during their formative years?
> No, the US has long classified speech on weapons of mass destruction, like how to configure shaped charges to trigger atom bombs.

I'm pretty sure that whatever a private individual figures out on his own is not "classified", since it's not a government secret. Is there actually a US law banning people from even talking about WMDs?
I want to be generous here, but corporations are taking in record profits in recent years. This seems like a money grab dressed up to elicit pity. Spare me.
That's the goal of Bitcoin and other deflationary cryptocurrencies, but not all cryotocurrencies adhere to that tenant.
Most of the Chinese I know can't even fathom opposing their government, like the act of being against or anti Xi is illegal in itself. I guess that is how the CPC maintain its 110% approval rating.

I remember hearing this when I would ask what the point of Bitcoin was over a decade ago. Now major cryptocurrency networks have expenditures approaching the GDPs of mid-sized countries. It's well past time to retire the "early days" argument.
You’re lucky they didn’t call for the firing of the people who read the census numbers, too.
It's meta and straight up name-calling. Troll comments are not your fault but giving them life and exposure is something the site guidelines specifically ask you not to do.

>One of the biggest drawbacks for blockchain is that transactions can't be revoked after the fact

Yes that is a major double-edged sword but it is ultimately a feature of blockchains (at least the base layer), not a bug. Everyone who has ever been a victim of fraudulent chargebacks can vouch for that. If you want reversibility you are free to create a smart contract which allows that using its own token. Frankly I wouldn't want to use a blockchain where someone can acquire my personal info and then social engineer their way into stealing my money, as commonly happens within the traditional financial system.
I think this is a lot of the explanation. What always surprises me is just how innumerate many people can be with little obvious impact on their day to day life. Also they are unable to do basic sanity checks like when I go in public how many of these types do I see etc. Also they must not have any other knowledge of demographic statistics to rely on.
The RAM packaging doesn't really matter much, Apple runs JEDEC spec memory timings anyway.

But it is impressive that they get high GPU performance with LPDDR. Consoles also use one big SoC and unified memory – but with GDDR memory!
Alexander advocated getting the people who would live or work in the buildings involved in the design and construction of the buildings. Get the people who will live in the place out in the field and work together to peg out the outlines of the buildings & refine the design.

This philosophy is succinctly summarised in the book Peopleware:

> local control of design by those who will occupy the space

Unfortunately this aspect of Alexander's philosophy of letting the users participate in the design, construction or customisation of building and towns was ignored, while the other idea of design patterns became very popular when adapted to software.

Some software is built for a market where the buyers are the end-users to software. Other software is built for markets where the purchasing decision is made by a committee of stakeholders, perhaps excluding the people who will be the day to day users of the software. If you contrast the two in terms of usability, you can start to appreciate what Alexander was getting at.
Thank you for writing this up! Very good summary of the relevant laws and regs.
This is probably true. I'd also add though, how would most Americans even know if they've met someone who's transgender? By definition, the transition phase is transitory.
Office workers too. Lot of Chromebooks plus Citrix being used on couches out there still.
Reminds me of EURion rings on banknotes. The issue is that this needs to be visible while unobstructive to the user. What about something pictographic, like HTTPS' padlock icon? Look for that in any user content with an input field and flag it when found. Of course, that still assumes users would check for the lock in the first place.

There's a whole queer part of crypto??? I'm definitely a huge Web3 skeptic but I'm actually kind of curious what's up with this most diverse and queer and, for lack of a better word, nicer part of crypto.
What you have described is usually called a 24 bit rgb image--not a 8 bit image. An 8 bit image can have only 256 distinct levels, whereas a jpeg can have ~16 million or 2^24 values for each pixel. 8 bit images are used often for medical imaging, but they are crude compared to 24 bit rgb images. One can argue that 24 bit rgb images are too crude, but they should not, IMHO, be called 8 bit images. But that is often what people say about jpegs. Typical jpegs with 8 bit coefficients have much more information than 8 bit images. Perhaps typical imprecise terminology?

Ivermectin is off patent and extremely cheap, there is zero problem producing enough. And if i want to waste a few cents on a few tablets, thats my prerogative.

The risk is also far below aspirin. As to what you consider an acceptable placebo, why should anyone care? As long as we are all consenting adults, i would say mind your own business, would you?

Knowing that the more you try bossing people around, the more likely they are going to push back. Leaving us all in a non to friendly environment. So ask yourself, are you really willing to start societal conflict over denying people a non-harmful, not scares placebo?
This problem doesn't require a technological solution. A legal solution is perfectly adequate. In Sweden, for example, you can inform a company of your wish to cancel a service by email or letter or phone call or...probably there are more options I'm unaware of. Given such a right, you never need to play the games that companies want you to play.
None of the services you mentioned need even close to nanosecond precision between servers to operate. Applications that do (other than the ones in the article like Spanner) are concentrated in supercomputing/scientific computing and spend a LOT of money on the problem. So yeah if you are letting your clocks drift by multiple seconds you aren't "using time" in any real sense.

If these folks can achieve what they want at a couple orders of magnitude cheaper than current prices then you are absolutely going to see a lot more regular use cases show up to take advantage of it.
Thanks, I already saw this earlier. I was more interested in the systemic flaws of the USSR. Failure in economic modeling, blinding ideology, that sort of thing.
> Full data wipe when switching between security modes is outright user-hostile,

I don't think it's user hostile to prevent all security models from being dragged to the lowest common denominator. If they didn't do that, an attacker could just switch to a more insecure mode and go after your data.
If your tokens become valueless to other Canadians, other Canadians won't accept them. Non-Canadians who trade with Canadians won't accept them because they can't trade them with Canadians. The value goes to zero by induction.

per other folks on thread, nearly impossible legally due to TOU/TOS or getting around those restrictions with rotating proxies, remote browsing + proxies, etc.

also part of why going with topic filter approach at Breeze -- so if you search all the web, we'll give you option to open others with indie indexes in new tab - say Mojeek or Yandex -- similar to what airline search engines do

if you switch to say code search, you can use ours or redirect to any one of say PublicWWW, Nerdy Data, or Builtwith

pretty much no other legal way to do it on the main
Growing organically through collaboration for the sake of it is very different then how computers proliferated. People were exposed to computers in school and work beforehand to them being introduced into every mainstream activity like internet banking and Amazon. Crypto is still stuck in a separate bubble universe where innovation only occurs within.
