I'd suggest you post some contact details in your HN signature.

Your background is highly attractive, and there are enough people here with the clout to get you started on a more positive interview track.

Also perhaps some coaching; you might have some tactical errors in how you approach.

With that said, finance may also be a really good option for you. At the right bank, the strong math background + top GPA is the hiring requirement. They also like people with Ph.D.s in technical physics.

You should have some coding experience, but you'll be working in their custom setups anyway -- if you're good at math, you can pick up APL (it's a language, look it up) programming quickly. Otherwise, bank python is pretty divergent from python, or you are looking at Matlab/R.

They'll want someone who can translate complicated math into a model. You are less likely to find that in most tech companies.

How so? If I asked you to take a test in Mandarin Chinese, I would assume you would know less words, but wouldn't you be just as creative in your mind?

Even some non-believers recognize that church (or your religious gathering of choice) carries certain social benefits in terms of providing adults of all ages a regular intentional community with people from (hopefully) different backgrounds that's oriented around community service rather than consumerism.

Though like college, people's experiences vary dramatically.

> For developers, going with Intel only (no Nvidia discrete card) is the most sensible choice.

Absolutely not. Even the latest gen Intel ThinkPads are power-hungry and wasteful. They either throttle to shit, run way too hot or run way too loud and you have increasingly terrible battery life in all three cases.

AMD resolves a few of those problems, you get more with the same power consumption, but still a good few steps behind a M1 Mac things combined.
I find it really hard to believe Ukraine can loose this war though.

Not that I have noticed. Currently running 5.17.3-arch1-1.

I don't usually push this machine too hard - maybe the most that I do is recompiling ffmpeg a few times a day, so it might just be a result of my usage patterns? I'll get back to you with more solid figures later tonight.

EDIT: Just had a play around with sysbench running a few prime number tests while compiling a kernel or two. The k10temp-pci-00c3 (CPU temperature under lm_sensors) seems to stick around at a crispy +64.1°C for a good few minutes, before rising to +65.6°C. It seems to drop back down to +64.2°C. The fan is pretty noisy. The CPU drops down to +50.0°C within 60 seconds of the sysbench benchmark stopping, and the fan noise is completely gone after 90 seconds. Temp is +36.9°C. Idle temp looks like it's around +34.4°C. Not sure how I can measure the db level of the fans? I do have a recorder, so I might be able to do it that way.

Not sure what a good way to actually benchmark the machine would be - it hasn't really come up as a necessity. Maybe I can use the Phoronix Test Suite?

EDIT 2: Doing some searching, maybe I got the machine just in time? 5.17 looks like it added some code specifically around P-states for Linux. https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.17#New_P-State_driver_for_... ... Someone else with my exact same kernel version reports AMD issues being fixed in Arch that they previously had. https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/u7kwza/recent_ar...
I don't think there's much overlap. Crypto stuff is all integer maths as far as I know (maybe there are some weird floating point coins?) but ML is all low precision floating point. ML training hardware has a ton of powerful FPUs but much less integer compute.
That graph is about light load.

The Intel is fast only with a ridiculous power usage, thus low runtime. It comes nowhere close to the M1's runtime when forced to the same high load.

This is sort of the standard for earlier editions of D&D, or games that aspire to follow some of the same themes (You might see modern RPGs in this vein referred to as OSR/Old School Renaissance). Historically, players would take on the role of adventurers rather than heroes, and most of the focus was on collecting as much treasure as you can (XP was awarded based on the gold value of treasure).

If you played smart you could certainly keep a character alive, so the idea that older editions of D&D were wantonly fatal isn't really correct, but any time you left your character's fate up to the roll of the dice, you were taking a risk, so the smart play was to rig any such encounter in your favor as best you could. If you did manage to live, your characters would tend to retire, taking ownership of domains, running wizard's towers, etc. - you didn't generally go up ever escalating levels of cosmic threat. Rules and modules existed for that, but it wasn't the type of play people would generally engage in. Instead, your old characters would become NPCs in the game setting, and you'd roll up a new group of adventurers to keep the story going.

3E is probably when the focus shifted to be predominantly around more Big Damn Hero type storylines, and it's firmly cemented as the de facto standard in 5E, but I think the success of 5E shows that that's really what more people are interested in. Which is great! It's been huge for the hobby, and introduced a lot of people into other styles of RPG, including old-school D&D.

Which is a long way to say if this style of play sounds appealing to you, you might want to check out modern OSR games (Mork Borg, Worlds Without Number, Electric Bastionland, Troika!, Mothership) or retroclones (Old School Essentials is probably the biggest name here currently, and is based off of the Basic/Expert ruleset - my personal favorite)
English Is the Language of Science. That Isn’t Always a Good Thing
Most probably the Russians already know where the bunker is located, the same as the Ukrainians know where Putin is at any one moment, the ties between the Russians and the Ukrainians are so mingled that it's impossible for spies/undercover agents not to exist on both sides, close to the highest levels.

It's just that the Russians blowing up Zelensky's bunker would not help them all that much, at least for now. I'd say the inverse is also true, killing Putin at this exact moment won't bring peace and a Russian surrender (whatever that might mean) immediately.

I'm not denying the importance of performance and query planning here, but merging two statements into one is what I as a (specific kind of) data engineer care about more. Letting postgres take care of consistency while keeping the SQL readable is just pure value addition.
It might be just me, but skeletons give me an unsettling feeling.

I instinctively interpret them as an app that started allowing interaction before fully loading. Is something horrible going to happen if I click something before it fully loads? Do I even know when it fully loads?

Think of loading glitches in a 3D game -- you open a door and half the world is missing on the other side because the assets aren't there yet. You might fall through the floor if you try walking. Or maybe not.
Have you used LINQ? LINQ is basically just a slight variant of SQL. All data is related, the only difference between a document type model like Mongo or ElasticSearch is how it stored and retrieved.

Depends on the industry/company but for me it works like this: when the holiday is on a Friday (my day off) it's bad luck and I don't get an extra day. Simultaneously though, when I have to go to a specific conference on a Friday I can switch my day off to a different day in that week since then I will be "forced" to work on my day off.

At our job someone decided to use a ready-to-use Go library which used Redis for distributed locking. But I found that it was broken by design and completely unreliable, and we had random transient errors stemming from it. It worked OK 99.9% the time, but once in a while we were getting inconsistent state in our application. The description initially made sense and the usage looked simple. It worked by a node creating a value with a TTL, which was used to make the lock auto-expire if a node crashed. If a node found that a value under the same name was already found in Redis, it would block. Since access to Redis is serialized, all such actions were basically atomic. The problem was due to the auto-expire feature. The TTL can expire while your code under the lock is scheduled out due to GC or waiting for I/O. So the lock that you held could be released basically at any point of execution while you were supposedly under the lock. Extending the lock's TTL after every line of code isn't practical and probably prone to race conditions anyway (and the library IIRC didn't provide a way to do it). I read there's a technique called token fencing but it requires additional changes to the way your shared resources are accessed which isn't always possible. I still don't know how to do distributed locks right and there seem to be many broken implementations in the wild.
Surprisingly, some of the most powerful distributed systems algorithms or tools are actually deterministic.

They're powerful because they can "load the dice" and so make the distributed system more intuitive for humans to reason about, more resilient to real world faults, and do all this with more performance.

For example, Barbara Liskov and James Cowling's deterministic view change from VSR [1][2], which isn't plagued by the latency issues of RAFT's randomized dueling leader problem. VSR's deterministic view change can react to a failed primary much quicker than RAFT since heartbeat timeouts don't require the randomized "padding" that they do in RAFT, commence the leader election, and also ensure that the leader election succeeds without a split vote.

Determinism makes all this possible.

Deterministic testing [3][4] is also your best friend when it comes to testing distributed systems.

Ok, I get it! I was mostly surprised, but reading dang's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31207191) it starts to make sense.

The dots that I didn't connect was that the post was a reply to the response on HN and since the post was controversial, it (being a HN comment, in a sense) should have been "more thoughtful and substantive, not less".

Perhaps the headline was the worst part of the article? Like you say - "Lies we tell ourselves to keep using [X]" could have just been "Common reasons to use [X], and why I disagree with them".

Thanks for pointing it out!
Good point, I'll look into this to see if performance is improved.
On the PC we have only three GPU vendors: AMD, NVIDIA and Intel, all three of which have been around for decades and have substantial commercial contracts to deliver stuff that at least isn't horribly broken, as well as the users regularly updating their drivers in case bugs (or, for major AAA titles, hand-optimized shaders) appear.

Meanwhile in embedded space, Broadcom can't even be arsed to implement PCI Express according to spec for a product of the scale and importance of the Raspberry Pi[1], and Android users have literally no say in updating their devices because they don't even have root access on them. Assuming someone discovers a bug in the GPU side, the bug has to go from the discoverer to the device manufacturer, from there to the SoC vendor, hope that the SoC vendor is willing and able to fix the bug, then that has to go back to the manufacturer, who has to prepare a firmware update, test and certify that with phone carriers and their bloatware, and then ship the updated firmware. As you can guess from the process, that rarely happens for anything except the flagship devices from Samsung and Google.

Anything outside of the x86, mainframe and Apple world can plainly be summarized as "it's a horrible horrible mess".

> You can take medication to adhere to these artificial expectations on how an individual should function within society. Or you can live in a way that matches your natural behavior and capabilities.

What if the behaviour causes pain to you? What if it's the cause of your anxiety, depression, loneliness, addiction? Because at a certain point, you need to admit that it's not that you need a life that matches your capabilities, but some help.

Would you think the same if someone were short-sighted? Should they live in a way that everything is at arms reach?

It does have "such as" - art is clearly something that is designed to be perceived by the senses, and all of them will matter.

But art that is tasted or smelled often is art that only exists for a time; and so it doesn't get perhaps as much attention.

I very much doubt that. In most EU countries sick days are limited to 90 days, after that a panel of doctors will examine your case and move you to disability pay for example, as you can't just be on sick leave "unlimited".
I completed the OMSCS program last year at a moderate pace (1 course per semester, except for 2 semesters where I took 2 courses). I did not avoid "hard" classes if I thought I'd learn something interesting and some of the courses are legitimately a lot of work. I think in particular Advanced Operating Systems and Compilers Theory and Practice took the heaviest toll on me. The projects for those classes were very time consuming and at a few points I was pulling 40 hours a week after my full time job to get them done.

Yeah, by that definition a badly done copy of a famous statue would be "art" because it falls short of a copy, but a brand new statue perfectly executed in the style of a famous statue would not be art, because it doesn't shatter anything.

I feel too many people want to define art such that they "love all art" - when art can be done well, or poorly, and you can like or not like it even if done well.

Now saying "when is art done" may be more complicated; the designer perfecting a perfume to capture a particular scent and be long-lasting and non-toxic is doing art (and other works) - but the machine that eventually makes gallons and gallons of the perfume to put in little bottles is not "making art" even if the result is a "work of art". Art requires intent.

The 2018 x1c vs the 2018 MacBook Air was somewhat a blowout. We're talking 14" vs 13" screen, lower weight vs higher weight, 4 core vs 2 core, reliable machine vs butterfly keyboard, essentially even battery life, displays, and speakers for the most part.

You had to be REALLY attached to MacOS or the Apple ecosystem to seriously consider a MBA. When Apple m1 was released, the battery life and performance situation VERY much changed making Apples product very very competitive as a standalone product.
