Remember it's probabilistic, not certain. There are still companies out there where you'll get hired with just a casual 30 minute conversation about your past work and how it should help you deliver value for this new work, maybe even over lunch. Different companies, even different teams or interviewers within companies, will have their own criteria with their own quirks and sometimes mental games. Even with perfect preparation on the technical side, you can easily fail a process because you failed some mind game, and those you can't really grind for. In other words, accept that no matter how much you prepare there's still a significant chance at failure, and use that to forgive yourself for not spending all your time trying to be in a constant state of readiness and trying to minimize a small portion of that chance, and maybe chill out some.
This is a known disease that has some pretty distinct clusters. No doubt people would love to draw covid analogies, and will try and use the recent pandemic to try and amplify their own importance, but without some compelling evidence it is absurd to read further into this
No, just basic outcome. If the data were collected someone could look to see if people with narrowed cerebral arteries suffered, say, more strokes.

If such a correlation were found, more intervention would indicated, if not, then not.

It’s a pretty slow process, but outcome is what really matters, and even if slow it would be faster than doing nothing.

History makes it pretty clear that southerners were, on the whole, much more openly and institutionally racist than northerners both before and after the Civil War.

The ones that seceded said it was about slavery. Many times. You don't believe them. Why? Why do you care enough to claim that you know their motives better than everyone else?

West Virginia split because they didn't want to go along with Virginia's secession. That's something that happened after the cause, not something that can tell you the cause, though! Maryland and Delaware were less dominated by the slave-holding interests. Its not that interesting.
It's surprisingly common, and a great way to filter out candidates if they have a history of job hoping.
Thanks for replying directly, Mark. Do candidates receive transparent feedback and information regarding exactly how the standardised testing/behavioural assessment has been interpreted, how it has effected their candidacy, and relevant information regarding the background of those interpreting the tests? Is there any means to contest this interpretation and/or request a secondary opinion by a qualified professional chosen by an independent third party?
To split hairs, your comment is not true for all containerships, just for ships that are not U.S.-owned.

I don't think it is a bogus argument, but am happy to be proven wrong. If other ports were able to accomodate the ships you're referring to, why wouldn't they simply make those other ports their single U.S. port of call and avoid the ship traffic delays?
> why didn't delaware and maryland also secede with slave owning states?

Have you looked at a map to see where they are? They would've been curbstomped fairly quickly if they tried. And although slavery was legal in Delaware, 91% of the Black population there was free at the start of the ACW.[1]

> The south didn't secede after the north freed the slaves, threatened to free the slaves,

The South seceded because they feared the North would free the slaves.

> Why did west virginia secede from virginia?

Because they disagreed with Virginia's secession from the United States.

TeX can do something like this, namely typeset paragraphs according to an arbitrary \parshape (a fixed one: it's designed for print after all). There was a question on the TeX StackExchange a while ago about making a "poster" with paragraph shapes chosen according to a certain cut-out image; some people were saying it's not possible, so I ended up doing it: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/401604/

Thanks for explaining. I didn't think Southern schools were still teaching the Lost Cause as history so recently.
With the war over, it's really easy for the side that doesn't depend on slavery for its economy to work to go out and put a feather in their cap by saying, "See? We're the good guys."

South Carolina did succeede due largely to its fear that the federal government would nationally abolish slavery. President Buchanan, before leaving office, made a gentlemans agreement that he would leave alone a largely abandoned sand bar military base that was run by South Carolinians inside the boundary of said state. In the middle of the night, a federal navy ship, who took all the armamments from a well established nearby federal military base, went to fort sumter and forced out the occupants by bayonet(kind of aggresive?/s) Cabinet members of Lincolns presidency warned him not to send reinforcements, which they were sure would further provoke sentiments of military provocation. He did anyway. This pissed off the SCians who decided, to hell with it no one gets this sand bar, and so they destroyed the base by cannon fire with no one there to nullify either parties claim. No one died, largely because no one was supposed too. Lincoln, then, decided he should call on the remaining states to build one of the largest armies assembled by the federal goverment to forcibly take back south carolina. This extereme overreaction to the situation is the well known historical reason why the rest of the states promptly left the union in its fear of the clear millitary power grab that was occuring before their eyes. Many powerful southerners did not want their home states succeed, including Robert E Lee!
Note: What I did not say in the second to last sentence was that there wasn't sentiment of the follower states of protecting slavery.

Lincoln, like a good lawyer, modified the definition of a word, union, from (meriam webster 1. the formation of a single political unit[okay sure, but read on] from two or more separate and independent. Most dicts use the word "confederacy" for this definition as well) a voluntary agreement between indepenent parts, to involuntary permanance. Did he use trade embargoes like a peace seeking consolidator would? Regardless of your opinion on slavery's involvement, or how righteous either side was, Lincoln, at best, poorly* navigated the waters of the time and was the clear cause of military escalation bringing the greatest casualty of americans lives by population of its respective era.

"aggressive racism wasn't really seen in the south before the Civil War" is absurd and only supportable if you don't consider the treatment of the slaves. There was a ton of brutality, and you're sitting here saying there wasn't any aggression.

It's not dissimilar to the US wars in the middle east: The North toppled an evil government, freed some people, but didn't finish the job. So assholes ended back up in charge. They couldn't go quite as far, or quite go all ISIS, they had to settle for just the KKK, because it was all one country again, but somehow the losers didn't lose all that much in the long run.
> The general AI agent will be composed of many such models.

Not necessarily, there is good evidence that a single model can work for many tasks - for example, the recent Gato system https://www.deepmind.com/publications/a-generalist-agent is a good example. It's just that we usually don't do that because for most practical purposes we want an agent for a specific purpose, and for most research experiments we want a simpler experiment to isolate some factor, so we usually train single-task models and don't try to make general systems.

I think the reason you’re getting so much vitriol is that you’re framing this issue without any room for nuance.

It’s accepted that a disagreement over the future economic regime of the Union was core to the American Civil War. Part of that economic future was tariffs, as you highlight. But an even more foundational part was slavery, and it’s role in the economic future of the country. The elites of the North and South vehemently disagreed on the role of slavery in America’s future, and it’s absurd to say this didn’t escalate tensions.

It is not correct to frame slavery as an afterthought. It is not correct to frame the moral issue of slavery as the only reason for the war, because it had enormous economic and political implications beyond its morality.
> As for why he doesn't commercialize the website and collect some money, this question was also asked by us.

You don't get into open source development for the big bucks. It's sort of like asking someone who starts a soup kitchen why they don't open a restaurant.

I think it's worth noting how open source development spurs technical innovation in a way commercial development does not. If a company develops a proprietary technology, almost nobody will get access to the source or datasets, and so it can't then be reused and built upon to advance the state of the art. If it's open source, everyone can build on it and improve things. Sort of like how science needs to be public in order to develop more science.

But just as we need large investments to push science further, we should also have large investments in open source. We need to make access to these 50-GPU clusters easier for open source research, so a lone developer doesn't have to built it himself. Some meager funding for the actual development would be nice too... How many OSS researchers could we fund at $35K per?
My Ryzen puts that M1 to shame since it can run any Linux distro with full graphics acceleration natively. An M1 can't even do that yet.
There are a lot of people using virtualized development environments, which can make it much simpler to run a

I’m pretty sure 16gb machines have been the baseline for developers everywhere I’ve worked for the past decade.

> they were mad they couldn't force other states in the union to treat Black folks as slaves

Meaning, I take it, that the couldn't trust northern states to actually obey the Fugitive Slave Act? Even though there was an explicit provision in the Constitution about it?

> Ironic considering the modern lost cause argument of the war being over "states rights"

That's not a "modern" argument. It's the argument the south actually made at the time. And as a matter of law, they were right: both the Constitution and Federal law laid a legal duty on northern states, which northern states refused to obey.

Of course, our "modern" view is that it's perfectly OK to ignore a law if you think it's "wrong"; and this was the argument the north made for ignoring the Fugitive Slave Act: that slavery was wrong, so nobody had any duty to obey a law requiring them to support slavery in any way.

Ironic considering that the same "modern" people who make such arguments also talk about how having a rule of law, where people can't just arbitrarily ignore laws they don't like, is a good thing.

The truth is that both sides at the time of the civil war were wrong. The south was wrong because it was using arguments about rights and the rule of law to deny rights to the slaves. But the north was also wrong because it was undermining the very institution of law, which is wrong even if it's in a good cause, because the institution of law is necessary to have a civil society at all.
> not to think about all potential fallout

You're doing it wrong then.

I used to have a similar perspective. Then one day on the highway, a quarter inch of snow started to fall. Traffic slowed to 25mph. I was driving arrow-straight at 25mph on decent tires & flat ground - and suddenly my pickup just started to spin. Traction control immediately kicked in & fixed it.

To be fair, the weather's a bit wild here. But now I don't mind having traction control so much.

Agreed. As a hiring manager, I’ve also explicitly, purposely come up with coding questions that reflect normal work: call APIs & issues, sync data issues, model data for usable systems.

These are the life choices we make, whether through biology, mentality, or environment. For me, one of the key factors is that the signal-to-noise you have to endure with friends to get the few moments of gratification is so low that it's draining. Maybe it's a product of having a high bar for what constitutes new and interesting/entertaining for me (compared against spending time alone), combined with already being biased towards things and ideas rather than people.

I live with the consequences now in middle age, when friends and connections gradually evaporate if not actively cultivated. And I’m sure I’ll pay for it at a point in life where you need those who stuck with you not for ideas or things, but because of friendship or family. Because you wanted to spend time with them, low signal-to-noise and everything.

Anyway, we all eventually experience this phase. For some, it just comes earlier than others.
Old stoves may last 100 years, but modern ones are better (2021)
I feel like so many projects start out with grand ideals about how, if people were just given the opportunity, we would finally get the honest, genuine, earnest, meaningful conversation we keep hoping is real.

In my experience though, when you take away the social responsibility of what you say and who you are, people begin to let out their demons. I think it’s rarely bad people so much as people who aren’t able to find responsible ways to resolve their own issues.

I anticipate after a brief period of attempts at intelligent discussion, the people who aren’t just trolls will give up and it’ll be left with a stack of forever self-erasing garbage.

I don't know the percentage, but healthcare software vendors absolutely do hire experienced clinicians as Product Managers when they can. But it's hard. There are few such employees available, they're expensive, and most don't understand the product development process. Furthermore their experience sometimes isn't even very relevant: someone who spent 10 years as an obstetrics nurse won't necessarily understand oncology workflows.

Often a better option is to hire several practicing clinicians across different specialties as part time consultants on an advisory council. That way you can gather ideas and get rapid feedback on product concepts without involving them directly in the development process.
My work one certainly does, and I've found that replacing the cap with an official ThinkPad one gets you about 50% of the way to "ThinkPad-quality TrackPoint". But it started out as "Is this purely decorative? Have you tried to use this?!" so even with the red cover it was "Well, I guess it works for minimal mousing inbetween typing."

These days I use an external ThinkPad keyboard on it, since I'm mostly docked at a desk anyway.
The Importance of Developer Experience
Yes, though not for a long time now. 68000 was actually some of the hardest for me to deal with, when folks would creatively use EVERY register…and in a different way in each procedure.

But of course you are right, good and bad code has been written in every language. And guess what folks, your code is NOT “self-documenting,” you’re just being lazy by not writing comments! OK, soapbox ended! :-)
I started game development around the Gameboy Color days and everything was in assembly. Every other platform had shifted to C/C++.

It wasn't bad actually. We had macros to do 16 bit work with 8 bit registers, etc. so the code was much more high level than it sounds. We did have to be very careful with the stack (making sure it's balanced), but otherwise very similar to coding in C.

With modern architectures, I much prefer C and intrinsics and let the compiler deal with it (and nudge it when it gets it wrong).
This debate is raging right now. Is it better in North America to eat domesticated cattle, which basically destroy any chance at a healthy ecology, or just go shoot a bison when you need food? The bison can support a mature ecology.

And basically, if you have capitalism/individual property rights then the answer HAS to be cattle, plus a lot of fossil fuel inputs.

But at the systemic level is it better? It’s probably worse. So does that mean we’re just waiting on culture to invent the right social structures so we can return to hunting?
