When you are hiring, you usually have a specific problem you want addressed. Most places, these days, do not hire with the idea, Hey lets get a bright person and send them to training for 6 months. Risk is, and I have seen it happen, the person realizes they can then get a better (more money) job and leave.

That said, being capable of learning is a bonus and would provide distinction. So if I had one person who was a A+ in tech xyz, but was never going to expand, verses a B- who was capable of becoming an A (not necessarily A+), but is capable of other skills, I would go for the second, since both could probably do the job I needed now.
What's the way I can run fzf for words than characters.

I would to like to use it for my web-history. And maybe for webpages I have visited too.
I don't get it, either. 95 GHz megawatt-scale CW sources have been around for some time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System

The truck-mounted ADS is gyrotron-based like HUSIR, but apparently they are working on more-portable GaN-based sources (https://jnlwp.defense.gov/About/Frequently-Asked-Questions/A...).

The novel requirement must be the need for wider modulation bandwidth, or something like that.
> empower new hires to fix things as they go along.

This _sounds_ like a good idea but I haven't seen it really work in practice since new hires are by definition the least empowered.

Often problems are not small and local either but caused by general hairiness of older systems / docs / tools.

It seems like this could be made more powerful by making it the explicit task of an onboarding buddy (ie. experienced employee) to drive improvements together with them.

It's a difficult problem because there is a disappearing stakeholder, once the new hire gets through the friction with some help the motivation disappears quickly. This means for bigger problems that once they have the power to change it they have bigger fish to fry.
> What specific part of my comment gave you the impression that he’s replaceable?

I think but obviously can't confirm it might have been this bit:

> ... at least Stallman comes to mind as an example of someone who was able to change the course of history *without much personal power, instead he crafted ideas that had power.*

To me this might be construed as Stallman could be replaced by anyone, since he had little personal power and only crafted ideas; anyone could craft ideas.

I might be wrong though but that would be my guess
Why the concept "data lake" emerged in the first place:

Thinking about what to store (and what to log) is not trivial and takes careful consideration. Plus, there's always the argument: "But what if we need something that we forgot to store or log?".

Answering that takes time and risk-acceptance that most developers in most projects don't get.

"Datalake" was just a pseudo-solution to gain peace-of-mind: We throw everything into a big bucket and figure it out later.
His name is really Sims?

Whilst I agree with a lot of your post (I am British), most of it was just a rant about the government's inadequate response to covid. It has pretty much nothing to do with this article.
I don't neuter my dog? Wtf. The vast majority of Northern Europe also doesn't neuter their dogs. Hell, Norway apparently considers it animal abuse (which I think I agree with mostly due to the negative effects of lacking hormones)

The Norwegian Animal Welfare Law of 2010 §9, 2nd paragraph reads “Det skal ikke gjøres operative inngrep eller fjernes kroppsdeler på dyr uten at det foreligger forsvarlig grunn ut fra hensynet til dyrets helse.” - “No surgery or removal of body parts of animals can be done except when there is a proper reason considering the animal’s health”.

That means no tail dockings, no ear cropping, and no castrations.
I don’t think any book has caused the direction of my life to suddenly turn on a heel. I have found the influence of reading to be slow and incremental.

The most pivotal that springs to mind is The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, read as an early teen. I think this is what fully opened my eyes to the world of nerdishness out of which I have built a career and which has shaped my interests.
IKR! I also love it. It was my first somewhat decent project in rust lol
This is New York City, not Kansas City. I'm sure there are more than enough complaints.
The entire world is not just America you know. I'm not American so I'm not particularly aware of what your president said in 2014. America isn't the only country imposing meaningful sanctions on Russia. I don't think that's ignorance either - you probably don't know what was the Polish presidential stance in 2014 either and I wouldn't call you ignorant because of it.

And I looked up the transcript of the State of The Union address you mentioned and he does indeed say that. Thanks.
There are definitely cloud/AI/vision system data scientist jobs at Amazon and AWS that are going unfilled. Your description sounds like you could be a Principal scientist in a role like that, either working on warehouse management systems, the Amazon Go store technology, automated last-mile delivery systems, most anything to do with Ring cameras, and so forth.

As I see it, the biggest problem might actually be the salary. I think matching $350K might be a challenge, even for Amazon, unless you land in a senior VP type of role.

I would try again at Amazon, if you're willing to work for them. And if you can't find anything through obvious public channels, I'd be happy to do some research and see if there's anything where I can provide you a referral.

Our own group is hiring in the Seattle, Austin, and Atlanta areas, but it's mostly SDEs, TPMs, etc.... I don't know that we have any data scientist type positions open.

Good luck!
Thank you! For some reason other reddit searching apps don't seem to work for me, but that one does.
It depends on where you live, I am in one of the cities around lake tahoe. USPS here doesn't deliver mail to your residence, however UPS/Fedex deliver just fine.
Instead everyone in town rents a USPS PO box, to which USPS delivers and everyone goes to the Post office to collect their mail from their PO boxes.

Whats worse, USPS has some PO boxes in some condo complexes, residents of which rent PO boxes that are at their physical residence and USPS delivers mail to these PO boxes. Its also sprung a private business who collects mail from PO boxes amd deliver to physical addresses for a small fee.

I simply dont understand why its the case here.
I wish I had read following books when I was a teenager or my parents had read them. Never too late though. These books changed my life.

1. The power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Helped me stay present.
Helped me overcome past regrets and future stresses

2. Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns

Helped me understand how my thought process was impacting my mood and fueling anxiety

3. Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High

Saved my failing relationship

4. The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

Helped me overcome some of my compulsive behaviors
Ask HN: How much are you making as an IC at non-FAANG companies in Bangalore?

You can easily choose not to read his post, people can't easily choose not to breathe the air where they live. Well, some people can, they can get a car and move.

People are entitled to freedom under the law, but society is free to enact laws that make idling illegal, even if it means some people's vehicles won't start in winter, or restrict vehicle traffic on certain urban streets, whether this pertains to 18-wheelers or a regular handymans truck. Though I'm sure some people will claim there is a constitutional right to getting everywhere by car, and so society is actually not free to do that.

Either way, I doubt there will be significant change. Car culture has a vice-like grip on society, there is no path whatsoever out of this particular local maximum. There may be gestures towards coexistence with other modes of transportation, but never at a significant cost to cars. And that just isn't enough.
You're buying food transported by trucks that burn diesel, producing externalities that you haven't paid for. Why should you be allowed to do that?
Biochemically I expect there is not much difference.

We probably have more stressors like imaginary ones and ones created just by society like reading news.
Yes. I know for a fact that diesel locomotives of trains are kept running even if its next trip is hours later.

I don't know the underlying reason for that though. I always assumed it was some combination of using too much fuel for starting (more than what it would consume if it was just idling) and the starting itself being a complicated process. But I could be wrong.

But then, for trains there exists fully electric locomotives, so this looks like a solved problem in that industry. All that's left to be done is phase out the diesels (apart from electrifying the tracks itself).

To me, strategy is a plan of action within a system that dynamically resists your attempts at progress, usually due to the presence of other agents similar to yourself. Chess is a good microcosmic example.
In my experience these onboarding session would be completely unnecessary if processes would be well documented. In reality often the only way at many places how you can find out about "how I do this specific thing?" is to ask a person who somehow knows (good look finding out who knows).

So instead of having good documentation of how to do stuff or whom to ask, they have an onboarding session so that there is a chance that at least one person in the new group remembers this minor fact out of this huge amount of information that put in front of you that you thought you'd never need. It's quite literally the equivalent of throwing s*t at the wall.
Ironically, the name "Jehovah" is a misunderstanding. It comes from applying the vowels from "Adonai" (my lord) to "Yahweh" (the name of God).

The Hebrew alphabet initially didn't have vowels, so the name was written as YHWH. When vowels were introduced they decided to write the vowels for Adonai above YHWH, to remind readers not to say his name, as it was too holy. Eventually people forgot this logic and assumed it was the normal spelling of his name.
I agree -- although I think some scientists will do rigorous science with dogs; as in any field there will be a Gaussian curve. However, although I do think this is a set up to ask for more canine funding, I do think the public is not super keen on canine research -- I even feel the illogical repulsion and I understand the good outcomes that could come of this work.

Also, we learn in basic neuroscience classes that animals can often seem like they are understanding you or have anthropomorphic characteristics, but oftentimes this is just imitation. An example of this is with Koko the gorilla that they taught sign-language to: she is thought to actually just be repeating things for treats, etc in order to make her handler happy.

That's not how property rights in America work.
The process described in the blog post sounds more appealing to me, it is with multiple people in a social setting where you can get to know people in different departments, rather than by yourself at a desk.

Quite often you will never get a chance to meet colleagues from different departments the same way so you should make the most of it and make connections.
Presumably those types of devices aren’t required to be particularly accurate in terms of frequency distribution, so could just focus on a single frequency or event just act as a noise source, rather than an instrument for transmitting information.
So "strategy" doesn't apply to tasks like going to the moon, curing cancer or getting into shape?
I live in the subarctic region, a stone’s throw away from the arctic circle. We have snow and frost in winter.

We use ice scrapers. :) As a matter of self-reliance and/or common courtesy.

Defrosting the windows with the engine is really not nice, especially not when it’s a diesel with the fumes hanging in the winter air and going inside people’s windows and into baby carriages and kindergarteners’ noses.
It's always made me chuckle when I see Americans complaining about their 'high' gas prices, even more so before this current price rise started.

I'm in the UK and my nearest fuel station (which is pretty averagely priced in my area) is currently charging $10.50/gallon, and that's been steadily rising for some time now. I'm not sure it's plateaued yet either.
It's not the same thing. Flatpak allows multiple remotes so anyone can publish their own packages.
They're not enforcing it, they're simply incentivizing tip offs. Not much different than any other crime tip system the government has run. It's still up to the government to actually enforce it once the evidence has been submitted. If the agency wanted to, they could simply discard/ignore all footage.

>> Upon reflection, I believe I've been implicitly doing this on tasks for side projects.

Yes, me too. I wrote about it here: https://remotehunt.com/blog/startup-art

"The way I work on my side-project is very different from the way I work as a developer at a startup. But what's the difference?"

TL;DR

a) startup: I work on what I have to

b) side project: "I work on what excites me the most at this moment."
Having the settings exposed in the options menu changes the game, and the experience of the game, and the discussion around the game. I don't want the temptation of changing to a lower difficulty.
I agree and would add that the first assignment as a new employee should be to follow the onboarding docs and update and fix any mistakes they might have
You point brings up something, in the US there are thousands of planning departments. And each one is it's own little fiefdom. Some are fine. Some enjoy screwing over people. Some are incompetent. Some are corrupt.

If you bought a run down 6 plex and wanted to fix it up. SF the permitting would be a right pain. Berkeley would actively try to stop you. Oakland someone would want a bag of cash. Santa Cruz would allow it as long as you used a GC with proper connections.
Do you also read about the history of the Bible? For example, scholars consider the book of exodus to be highly inaccurate/mythologised.
I like Portland, it's been too long since last visiting. Also quite envious of the people I know who do ski. I love the mountains, but have no skiing exp at all lol
Even so, it's the most recognized way to pronounce the name in English. Yahweh is also acceptable, but isn't as widely used.

The funny thing about it is that we also don't know how Jesus' name would have been pronounced for the same reasons, but nobody ever has an issue using "Jesus", but people say "Jehovah" and it causes a stir. ¯\(º_o)/¯
I see, your README actually says that but I just skimmed over it and went by the HN title, my bad. Cool project BTW!
I find the comparison with AI and insects really interesting to illustrate just how far off the mark we still are.

You have a room sized super computer that trains for zillions of hours and can’t even pick out pedestrians with especially good precision.

Then you have a bee with a minuscule brain that can do complex pattern recognition to find flowers, complex manipulation to get nectar and pollen out of them, object avoidance, swarming behaviour, and fancy communicative dances (both performing and interpreting), plus all the other stuff bees do to get by in the world.

Something is up there for sure.

It's actually not crazy on Ingenuity: vacuum really isn't an issue for most chips, the epoxy packages are totally okay from 0-1atm. The temperatures are also kept benign - One of the advantages of being in a near vacuum of the Martian atmosphere is that heat transfer is very slow. Ingenuity keeps to a fairly narrow (-20 to 60C iirc) temperature range even without substantial power spent on heaters. It gets warm during a heat-soak event after flying, and on the cold side, it doesn't get below the temps allowed for the li-ion battery. Note that it isn't designed to survive a bad martian winter, though this is mostly due to decreased power generation rather than lower temperatures.

While I agree, there is the other side of that. They are very very expensive. Even a simple site needs servers, and devs.

For who? If I tell the 2% of people out there that I sell these awesome things and they attempt to purchase them, but they can't because they have JS off, who did that knowledge help?

That’s not a problem with Tesla’s “cone AI”, it’s a problem with their self driving stack’s lack of a “do not drive into solid objects” feature.

I generally like this dude and his antics…but becoming dependent on opiates as an “experiment” is the stupidest shit I’ve ever read.

It sounds like he wanted some adversity to overcome and couldn’t find any so he manufactured his own. Hopefully George understands that premeditated physical opioid dependence is not the same kind of struggle which addicts face. The homeless dudes shooting smack under a bridge have terrible lives. George is a software genius with loads of money and opportunity at his disposal.
Sure I don't even know that Poland had a president. But I don't claim authority i.e. I am not saying "Russia is going to starve this summer because the mighty Polish sanctions deprive it of strategic sunflower seeds" or "Russia is going to crush Poland by sending 10M Africans through the Belarus border!". I just notice that economic claims, especially formulated in such imprecise terms as "tatters" and "rubble" seem to appear the result of political posturing and not an actual analysis of economic effects. There are no effects of the sanctions wrt the campaign in Ukraine, at least ones that I can observe, so I don't see how any hypothetical sanctions could have stopped the hypothetical future military conflict between Russia and NATO.
At one former employer, I literally was the best worker in the group -- I got the highest ratings possible from the interim manager who had been working there for years, and the highest ratings from our division chief above him. Then we hired a new manager, and I quickly got the lowest ratings. And lots of other top people in the group suddenly left around that time, too.

So, this kind of shit really does happen, at least to some of us. Some are smart enough to leave the sinking ship before it tanks their career.
You arent allowed to drink and drive and when people go on a boating holiday that becomes inevitable. Besides it can get quite boring pottering around at 3-6mph on a canal or river, the novelty can wear off quickly especially if its raining and you have to stand at the back steering a canal boat. So why not have some sort of autonomous guidance system? At least it can become more pleasant in bad weather and opens up the holiday season a bit more for those who are happy to sit inside and see the world go by from the comfort of the inside of the boat.

In a way, its why coach/bus holidays exist, the tour guide on the coach points out the sights whilst you relax in the comfort of your own seat, but having your own space, like a boat can also it make it relaxing especially if you dont want to be around other people. A coach holiday can still feel like a train commute into London, but with a seat.

Another area of development which the car manufacturers might want to develop, is radio controlled cars kits with active suspension and aerodynamics with some sort of AI/coding control. Like a Formula1 championship but radio controlled model cars. It could sow those seeds for kids to learn to code and then test their code on a race circuit.

I agree with you general about the point of the article and the validity of Conway's Law, but I have a quibble:

> Like many have said in the past, computer science is not really “science” or even engineering.

Computer Science is absolutely science, as much as physics is. Science is the ability to make precise predictive models of the world using math. Computer Science provides plenty of those. For example, by knowing the binary search algorithm we know that the time it takes to do a git-bisect is bounded by the log of the number of commits in a repo. We can also know what kinds of encryption keys could be discovered through brute force guessing given presently available hardware. We can precisely describe the kinds of coordination problems that can afflict concurrent processes (not just in computers) and the kind of mechanisms that can be used to avoid those problems. All of these add knowledge to the world of the same type as the laws of magnetism or gravitation.

Computer Science is the science of process. Software engineering is the application of that science to messy human problems, and is no less an engineering discipline than any other. Like other engineering disciplines there will always be room for heuristics and human judgment. Conway's Law absolutely falls into that.

The precision of any engineering discipline will always be limited by the precision of the softer sciences, as the phenomenon they describe are an ineradicable aspect of the engineering process.
