I've recently wondered whether it's worth periodically reprocessing the metadata on music files with musicbrainz Picard.

It was all done when added to the catalog, but presumably the metadata could be updated and a periodic refresh would be a benefit.

> These roles pay a huge sum of money, so there's a lot of worry that someone will be hired who doesn't really meet the bar, you know?

So do roles in medicine, finance etc. Do they also go through 7 interviews grilling them about material from their bachelor's or asking random logic questions? Why don't we test doctors "problem solving" skills by asking them how many cars are in Manhattan, don't doctors need good problem solving skills?
I bought a TV hat for one of my Raspberry Pi 3B+. I connected it to my TV antenna on the roof, installed tvheadend (and cursed a little bit the UX but it's mostly a do it once and forget thing), installed TVH Client on my phone and tablet. I ended up with smart devices that can do everything a smart TV can do except that I can bring them around my home and garden (a plus) and have a smaller screen and sometimes worse audio (cons). I don't have ads unless I'm watching free to air TV, because of Blockada. It works as a radio too because basically every radio is also on DVBT here. I'm using VLC as player so I can do popup player (over any app) or play as audio and turn off the screen. If I want a larger screen and I'm in the living room I can turn on my TV. I'm not doing it very often even when I'm in the living room. A 10" tablet at an arm lenght is not much smaller than a TV far away on the wall.
The Albini mix of (parts of) In on the Kill Taker are on Youtube, but I must admit I found listening to the mix very tiring. The final album is splendid though.
For me it's inconceivable to go back to a 60hz monitor in 2022 - using one feels like something is broken, just scrolling code or website is wrong. The fact that apple ships a 60hz monitor for the amount of money they ask for is.....silly.

Well to me it’s a lot simpler: the higher the pay, the longer the interviews.

Tech pays really well, I don’t mind taking 7 interviews if I’m paid 500k a year…
Yeah they trained multiple ResNet models. The ViT's (vision transformers) tended to outperform the ResNet's although they discuss a wide range of datasets and I believe the ResNet ones are better in some cases. They have also been used for visual salience tasks as they may have a better representation of positional information in a scene.

I think they do use a modified ResNet with some form of attention in it - but I'm not clear on the specifics and my understanding is that is somewhat common now.

This is an April Fool's joke, right?
So what its a circle jerk of people putting up with BS, then going through BS again because they did so well the first time?

I mean, maybe their other job isn't doing great, because they clearly have all this time to interview, wonder what is going to happen when they join your company...

> In some areas of computing (e.g. OS, Systems) work gets obsolete fairly quickly

That's a very surprising statement. The number of advances in systems in the 21st century is.. embarrassingly low. It feels like a stale dead field. People keep pumping money into what is basically a dead body at this point.

> consider attending top conferences in your field before committing (e.g. SOSP for OS/Systems, CVPR for vision, CHI for HCI,...). I

I don't think that this is good advice. Certainly I would never suggest it to my own students. It's hard to see what they would gain.

So you go to CVPR or NeurIPS, you see hundreds of posters per session and talk after talk. Maybe you stick around for workshops to interact with people. So what? This gives you zero information about what you will be doing as a PhD student or how useful your PhD will be.

The way to figure out if you want to do a PhD is simple: do research first. Spend a summer in a research lab related to some topic you like and figure out if you like it.

> I was talking to a theoretical Physics PhD at a conference recently, and even he was quite jaded (he switched to CS post PhD).

Speaking of dead fields... I know many postdocs who come from physics into ML because many areas of theoretical physics just don't seem to be going anywhere anymore. Not a good sign!

> the outcome of such a rigorous process. It also helps protect people from becoming false negatives because they didn’t mesh with a single interviewer or struggled with a single interview problem.

Only if we assume the managerial class doesn't use this extended process as a chance to do politics and if we assume a longer interview results in better matches.

My experience in casting actors (different field I know) is, that after a certain duration you will get diminishing results. You can tell most of the time within an 20 minutes or less of someone could do the job or not. The rest of the hour is needed to figure out how they work in different situations.

What I would never do is have my existing actors interview them. They can veto someone, they can tell me what they think, but why on earth would I let them interview someone?

It is possible that a candidate's social media presence is minimal or non-public, and that will lead to a dead end. But are you claiming that _your_ social media presence is minimal or non-public? Candidates are applying with their real names and a work history; not to sound creepy but they become very "findable" with that information. And I use that to judge "does this person know what he's talking about when it comes to his job?"

I know you are a web developer, full stack but with a slant towards backend, like the Jetbrains applications, run a Thinkpad with Windows OS, have a beard (by your own admission), possibly live in a Nordic country but I don't think you are from there (UK I think, London area, or at least lived in London, or you live in the far North of Scotland or London has been a bit dark this year), are in your late 50's or early 60's, have a small family, like noisy keyboards, dislike Vim, absolutely loathe "Fn" keys, own a Mac that you ocassionally use, enjoyed Star Trek: TOS, run Android on a Samsung Galaxy (S3, Nexus 5, S10). You didn't wait for your resin in your table to reach flashover point. Found your reddit account, your stackoverflow, your github, and your abandoned twitter account, looks like you purged your Facebook account but didn't delete it. I am pretty sure you used to skateboard, enjoy riding a fixie bike and photography, possibly did some rock climbing in your youth. I may be off on some of the details, I only spent 20 minutes on it. Of course, I might be connecting two different sets of data points about two different people.

Over-sized coloured mice are very clever if they can build the CMS for a real estate agent.

My point is, people are "findable."

I want to add one other remark: I sympathize with the anxiety you're conveying about implementing this stuff. I used to feel the same way. The Bellare/Rogaway notes I linked above boosted my confidence a ton. I know perfectly well that protocol XYZ was designed by someone smarter and more experienced than me, whose engineering judgment is better than mine. So what makes me think I have any chance?

If you study those notes, you'll understand how cryptographers think, how security proofs work, and how modern protocols (though usually not older ones) are designed so that the proofs come along with them. Instead of having to rely on impossible-to-capture shades of finely tuned judgment, you get actual theorems that are bulletproof. So if you have a reasonable math background, you know what proofs are, you know that if your thing is done right then (against the designed-for threat model) your stuff is secure, and you know what it means for your thing to be done right.

So that just leaves executing the latter, which is still the usual error-prone engineering. But good languages and software (look e.g. at Cryptol on galois.com) can help with that too. Most OpenSSL CVE's lately are things like heap overflows rather than crypto misdesign. Coding in Rust is supposed to eliminate those (idk if it always does in practice).

I can't prove in a few sentences that this isn't false confidence but I think there is something to it. At the very least, understanding some theory brings a great improvement to one's clarity of thought.
My point was that if the goal is to "save bee populations", as the article claims, then we can do that by providing the natural habitat that bees need.

True except for Snapchat, it was never popular here in Asia. Instead of snapchat, zoomers here use FB Messenger, often under a throwaway FB account. It is the same for their tiktoks, also using a throwaway account/anonymous. A stark contrast from millennials/boomers who use their nickname or even their real name on their social medias
Ironic that the most dangerous, unethical and damaging uses of psychedelics were by the government that then banned them for being dangerous. They ruined lives all over San Francisco non-consensually dosing random people with massive quantities of LSD.

Getting 2 years old try to do chores is as easy as not preventing it - they still learn to control their motions and eager to apply it everywhere. The trick is to get that continue past 4 years where the novelty wears off.
> Are they conversations that a company would consider help further the bottom line? Not at all.

I realise this depends on the company and the person, but to me these kinds of conversations are essential. I find all the interesting stuff actually happens in these incidental conversations!

I guess the real takeaway here is that to be an effective company you need to have an environment where your employees can work well, but different styles work better for different people so you end up having to compromise.
Wouldn’t that just be sunk cost?
How does it matter whether or not the spaces are occupied? Are we dealing with some emotional thing here?

If the justification is meant for the shareholders: why not admit they may be right, and lease a smaller office?
But having to return something is an impact on me, and they know that statistically most of I will probably not bother.

There should be some sort of penalty for inflicting the damage after the sale besides merely nulling the sale.

Now I have to find another tv, and until I finish the return and shop and install process, I have either a defective tv or no tv, which screwed up any plans I made involving it.

Meanwhile, I did not get to mess with the money I paid for the tv after I paid it. It went into the manufacturers posession and I never got to touch it again, take some back, change the interest rate it's earning, change what stocks or equipment it was spent on...

Being able to return for refund is great, but it doesn't actually make you whole, and the damage done to your property and your use of your property was deliberate and unnecessary. (not an accident or honest failure or act of god, but a knowing choice to damage property owned by someone else.)

Getting the money back and no more is like getting punched in the face, and all you get for that is you get to make them stop punching you in the face.

And the damage may or may not be a mere trivial annoyance.

This is a contrived example, but ALL examples are contrived and yet countless real examples exist and happen all the time, so the contrived nature is irrelevant:

What if for example the tv were used as part of a recording process monitoring a long-running experiment that was either very expensive to set up, or whose results are important, not just money important but Important, and can't be replicated except by starting over which may require time no one has like years, and the banner ad obscured a critical part of the image and blew the whole process?

You can't just say "you shouldn't construct something so important with consumer parts". It's true but it doesn't get the property damager off the hook, since it's still a fact that the damage didn't happen by itself as a natural proprerty of the fact that a device was sourced from BestBuy, the damage happened because the manufacturer chose to actively cause the damage.
> you can't get an edge against someone playing completely randomly

Sure, random choice is not only a Nash equilibrium, it even has a fixed expected value without regard to the other player's strategy, _but_ that is only in the basic two-player game. If you have a tournament and some players use other strategies, you can get better score against them by a non-random strategy, meaning you can beat the random strategy in the global tournament. But it also means someone can defeat you! Which means RPS tournaments are interesting even if the game seemed almost trivial!
This is my conclusion as well: exluding total unusual cases, where three candidates are all equally good and you can't decide: not beeing able to tell whether a candidate fits after more than two interviews tells more about the company than the interview.
I'm not dying often, so thanks for that pointless insult. I think you're missing the larger point that the variety is still largely the same. You might be casting a different spell or swing a different weapon but it's still the same overall result. Just walk, fight, walk, fight, walk, fight just with different visual effects (which are awesome don't get me wrong). But you can't fit example, set the ground on fire, catch a gust of wind into the air, land on the cliff above, cut down a tree, roll it down into the enemy that you've frozen in place.

Reskilling takes so much time to do as well so it's not like you can just swap and try out something else quickly. You have to go to Raya Lucaria, re skill, then level your items with stones, then go back to where you wanted to try something else out for a fight. You might find you actually don't like that and you have to do the whole thing over again.
What does the`.0` calling convention mean in Rust? e.g.
```
for (i, r) in right.0.iter().enumerate() {
out.0[i] += r;
}
```

Aside from that, I thought it was fairly legible. Great write-up by the way. Squashing things into state helps get rid of some of the spookiness created by matrix multiplication and back-propagation. I also really appreciated seeing the explanation on the actual MLP part of the transformer as that is typically assumed to be prior knowledge in other tutorials.
No, I'm simply restating Maslov's hierarchy of needs. You cannot reach self-actualization without first covering basic needs. One of which is, ironically, called "safety". As in, perhaps, a safety net...

Or, in other words, to have the freedom to self-actualize, you must have security in your basic needs.

He didn't mean that literally. It's a tongue in cheek way of saying "when you're a 23 year old and you think you've mastered the markets, you don't think about wealth preservation."

Sorting is usually solved by allowing for optional separate sorting-key tags. So ' :

album='
albumsort=Apostrophe

These can act as search input as well, so searching for 'apostrophe' could yield it depending on the software used.

† can either just sort wherever Unicode puts it, or if the album has a known pronunciation like 'star' above, have a sorting key too.
Exactly. Plus this article made me quite nostalgic for the days of having only one child… it’s fun doing chores with toddlers provided you don’t really need them done and nobody else wants your attention!
Is it annoying for candidates? Yeah, but we pay you a lot of money

Well, no you don't. You pay a lot of money only the people you hired.
That's not a strong argument because investment alternatives to real estate for many in China are limited and that isn't the case here.

I'm interested in the point- a lot- but trying to argue against tailscale's approach, fretting over it's future longjevity- every wind vane im looking at is all pointed to simpler & more key easier to reason about systems. This feels like it serves Tailscale very well. It serves Vscode fantastically well, even though that's a beast of a file.

Making things just inert dumb data is great. Systems like sql are alive, are systems. Just the data is a great virtue.

Not just France but any European country. Each in their own special way have similar issues.

Europeans' national identity is strongly tied to their long history (which includes migration), it's not just white supremacists but people who feel immigration is threatening their national identity. I can see why and I support them trying to presrve their national identity but cruelty towards others isn't the way, unless they believe themselves to be so cruel.
Depends on the company, at my current company it was very rare.
“I am sorry that you have X” is either an expression of sympathy or pity.

For instance, in general, “I am sorry to hear that your father died” means “I am feeling sympathetic to you for your misfortune”.

It does not mean “I apologize for the death of your father” except in the extreme case where I was responsible.
Anyone tested the "real" throughput of Wifi 6?

Yes, I tested with a Fritz!Box 4060 with WiFi 6 (4x4 Multi-User MIMO) and a MacBook Pro 14". Confirmed on the Mac that 802.11ax is used. When standing right next to the router, I get between 400-700Mbs (it varies a lot). I also use a WiFi 6 repeater as an additional access point (hooked up to ethernet), so I am getting 200-400Mbs in most of the apartment.

So, it's ok-ish, but very variable. We have most of our apartment wired up with Ethernet, so Wifi is mostly for iPhones/IPad or when setting on the couch with a laptop.
There’s introverted and then there’s reclusive. People who don’t like big groups or find social situations draining may nevertheless find a lifestyle with 95% of their time spent alone (assuming 8 hours of social plans in a 168 hour week) to be too isolating.
I have noticed that it's fairly common for many songs to feature random car sounds in their YouTube mixes, but not in the final masters that end up on iTunes and streaming services. It is also relatively common to have "watermarks" (e.g. additional short vocal clips at the beginning and end) added to the YT/Soundcloud mix, presumably to make it easier to figure out if a DJ just ripped the song off YT.
Yes. Learning to manage one's own life is important, and making it a fun process from an early age is worthwhile.
We use Kaitai at work, and it seems like quite a clever tool at first glance, but it feels weirder the more I use it.

There's the small stuff: YAML is convenient as a universal language, but it means that declarations are very verbose - you can't use any sort of syntax sugar, you're having l basically writing the underlying AST that a more convenient language would parse to. It's also still YAML, with all the problems that come from that.

I also can't make head nor tail of the IDE. The big selling point is that it can parse test data you provide automatically as you build your Kaitai structure, but you can't edit the test data at all, and last I checked it didn't provide any sort of completion or hinting as you write your parser. So I might as well edit the structure in my editor of choice and occasionally copy it into the IDE if there's something I need to check, except then I also need to generate an interesting binary test case file and upload it, because, like I said, I can't edit those test cases in the IDE.

But the most important thing is that it literally only does parsing. Kaitai is a poor way to describe a binary API because if you do that, you'll get parsers for free, but you'll have to write all the generating code yourself - at which point, you have to wonder what advantage Kaitai is actually giving you. As I understand it, this isn't some missing feature that's in the works - the Kaitai team do not want to make this a two-way format, that is a complete non-goal.

Which means, as far as I can understand, the main purpose of Kaitai is to parse binary file formats like .PNG or .PDF files without the need for a special parser. It's basically a binary PEG (but, as mentioned before, in YAML).
