interviews are good for weeding out the absolute no's and that's about as good as you can get with those. a live coding session gives you marginally more information in that regard, but won't give you definitively more.

a 10-day contract is better, since it's real work, for pay, but the relatively short duration doesn't tell you much about the candidate's intrinsic motivation or how relationships develop past the honeymoon stage.

so really, it'd be best and easiest if we all explicitly assumed that jobs had 6-12 month trial periods, for both parties, and that after that time, either can walk away without hard feelings (or negative judgment), other than in the most egregious cases (i've seen a couple cases that'd fall in this category). again, this is primarily about jobs that have the most variability. less variable jobs don't need as long of an evaluation period (but do need more than a few weeks).
That's might be very difficult. Musk may not own a majority but the corporate bylaws require a supermajority of shareholders to support any major changes, though I'm not sure if firing the CEO is covered by that. If it does, it would require roughly 75-80% of non-Musk shares to vote him out.
That’s is true, it would be more accurate to say FastAPI (or any ASGI) framework along is not enough for ML model serving, you need batching and runner for performance. And some additional Ml focused features for integration with other ML tools

I think given the existence of detransitioners (https://reddit.com/r/detrans), there's a strong case to be made in support of rigorous research studying these links. Regardless of anyone's innate identity (born a X in a X's body), it's very plausible that detransitioners are examples of hormonal effects (TFA is one of many articles that talks of lifelong effects of hormonal imbalances in the womb) that were incorrectly interpreted as an essentialist, innate thing.
I guess a more succinct way to phrase my question-point is: what if as western liberal humans we've always been accepting of anything as it increases in prevalence and something has cased the prevalence of LGBTQ+ to rise to a point where we naturally accept it more? Just a thought experiment I'm definitely not trying to question all the work activists have done. More-so opening the table and asking what if it's an effect and not a cause. I guess covid may be an obvious counter-example but meh.
One cannot remain private or anonymous from a state-level adversary indefinitely but throwing your hands up and dismissing it as impossible is also a fallacy. Details are sporadic for easy reasons but quite a few whistle-blowers and other controversial figures have managed to keep themselves anonymous and disappear in a controlled-exit without any obvious retribution. Probably the best case outcome.
Tesla didn't seem to have a problem with Musk's public image when it was lifting their stock price into the stratosphere.
This is not an argument for unchanging tools. It's an argument for becoming a power user. Pick good, powerful, customizable tools. When they were made is immaterial. Learn them to expert level.

The "innovations" toolmakers try to push on you will almost never be worth the cost of losing all your knowledge, customization to your uses, and muscle memory.
Mmmm not a whole lot of actual analysis here despite the question being pretty interesting. If France has been removing cars from city centers, might we get a breakdown of accidents/deaths by urban/suburban/rural over time? Same with cycling - there are cities in the US that have much better cycling infrastructure compared to others, how do those compare?

Not mentioned in the article, but I’d be very curious to see how cities where individuals are responsible for sidewalks compared to where governments are. In Denver a homeowner is supposed to repair the sidewalk in front of their home, obviously leading people to walk in the road on rare occasions of extreme disrepair.
He alleges a few specific problems: nepotism, self-dealing and retaliation. Those are things that Google should take seriously, particularly the self-dealing with selling wine (which seems like money laundering).
It seems that as more people start to absorb the ideology of gender identity that is being pushed upon society, some who wouldn't have otherwise considered it are applying these concepts to themselves.

Hence the trend of people identifying as 'non-binary' in recent years - it's the logical conclusion of believing that 'man' and 'woman' refer to a collection of gendered stereotypes, rather than a description of one's sex.
How about a Mach-e?
Why go to the Romans and not to whole putting lead in gasoline a hundred years ago just because it was a little bit cheaper? Heck, some planes still do

This sounds like a problem Tesla created for itself, unnecessarily.

Thanks for this, it was definitely news to me. If this is the case then it makes slightly more sense, but is still disappointing.
Nice to see another confirmation that N3 is expected to be in high volume production by the end of the year, even if delivery to customers is still pushed out until early next year.

>TSMC's first 3 nm-class node is called N3 and this one is on track to start high volume manufacturing (HVM) in the second half of this year. Actual chips are set to be delivered to customers in early 2023.

It seems to me like maybe we should be referring to the resolution in atoms at this point. If and when lithography is accurate to the individual atom, that's the absolute end of miniaturization, right? (Unless maybe we start super-cooling chips to make them contract..? but that's not lithography.)
> Although, I still find Python much easier to read and maintain, but that may just be I'm more experienced with the language.

Python is definitely easier to read and maintain if you have loads of dependencies. C dependency management is a pain.

If you can read and write a little C, you should consider giving C#/Java/Kotlin/Swift a try. They're probably an order of magnitude slower than C if you write them in a maintainable style, but they're still much faster than Python. If you're doing stuff like web APIs then ASP.NET/Spring will perform very admirably without manually optimizing code, for example. You might find that these languages are C-like enough to understand and Python-like enough to be productive in. Or you might not, but it's worth a shot!

I personally believe that C is difficult if not impossible to properly to maintain long term, at least not as much as the faster alternatives. On the other hand my experience with Python is that it's one of the slowest mainstream languages out there, relying heavily on C libraries to get acceptable performance.
> But here, you're using it in response to a constructive comment expressing a legitimate point over...

Not at all. It's unnecessarily rude. The point could as well have been made without it.

"How can you say that? They were embezzling!"
Exactly! A vertical solution focused on model serving and deployment would make more sense if it can easily integrate with the ML training platform for CICD
Yeah, that’s a good example. Niven often would have characters riding through hyperspace with aliens but also smoking and being casually chauvinistic. Like if you took all the male characters in Mad Men and drafted them into interstellar war.

Mote is actually one of the rare instances where the authors got the computer predictions right. All the characters carry hand computers that fit in their pockets, and all the rooms have big screens that can be used to display information. Not too far from how things work today.
I think the point was that you can't really go after nepotistic hiring practices alone without also throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Nepotism happens all the time, and it's usually benign, like Stanford grads hiring Stanford grads. We want to work with our friends, people we've worked with before, and people with similar backgrounds as ours.

This comment thread is about what policy, if any, can these people really be investigated or fired for. If association with an organization whose leadership engages in grooming and pedophilia, while distasteful, is a firing offense, then should we be firing all catholics? There seems to be no way to articulate a policy here that a lot of well-meaning people wouldn't run afoul of, and you can't selectively implement policy without then running afoul of discriminatory business practices.
Current "nm" values do not measure anything. No part of your "5nm" chip is 5nm in length/width/depth/etc. It's been a decade since that, why start now?

Yes please help us get it unblacklisted with your scanner. Security vendors work by keeping an eye out for the strange and unusual, and I myself am strange and unusual. The last month or so has been particularly bad with the virus scanners. Possibly due to some random change I made to the APE assembly or performance optimization in the C library. For example, we've needed to make changes in the past where error messages containing the word "oldskool" needed to be removed because virus scanners thought that made it a virus. Also if you get a chance, please upvote the redbean binaries on VirusTotal. I always try to do that (I'm "howishexeasier") since it helps people verify that a binary came from me.

Traditionally the open source community worked around these issues by not distributing binaries and instead asking people to build the software on their own. I like the convenience of binaries because open source software is becoming increasingly fragmented and impossible to build. So then people use interpreters instead of compilers, which are slower. In any case, I don't think the source code workaround is going to last forever. Many companies are now focusing on applying the virus scanner model to source code too.
I test drove one and hated the UI. Plus I've had bad experiences with Ford dealers in the past. 150kW charging is OK, but "only OK" these days. Even my 2-year-old Tesla can charge at 250kW when the battery is low.

A lot of people do like it though!
grsecurity is very… opinionated. In reality, it may or may not be possible to use this vulnerability without knowing any addresses beforehand. If it’s not, then if the KASLR implementation is good enough, successful exploitation would be impossible without an extra infoleak vulnerability, which is certainly nontrivial to find for a remote attack like this one. (Though even when it comes to local attacks, the post somewhat exaggerates how difficult it is to prevent such vulnerabilities.)

Also, in this particular case, if there are multiple vulnerable devices in the vicinity, it might be hard to ensure that your crafted beacon frame only reaches one of them and not the others. So it’s helpful if the exploit payload is fixed rather than needing to be customized per target - something which is much less likely to be possible with KASLR.
The article presents the slightly paranoid perspective of one person.

I don't think anyone should come to understand the nature of an organization by arbitrary outsiders.

A lot of it is going to be hearsay.

That said, I'm inclined to believe most of it, and least the 'gist' of it.

I wouldn't be so fully quick to judge either the cult and certainly not it's members either.

There are a lot of reasons people can be involved.

And many of those reasons can be positive, even if the system or it's leaders are corrupt.

I think it's mostly safe to assume the group is probably a cult in the 'bad sense', but not without accepting that there is going to be a lot of grey there.

Also, man, Cali.

It's like Florida but with more education and money so the 'funny business' is just like a different form.

Maybe Google has too much money, and possibly not a strong a cultural foundation as it needs.

Democrats have no problem getting bills passed in the House. They'd need 60 seats in the Senate to make those bills law with a Democratic president, 66 with a Republican president. Majoritarian rule is not a feature of the US political system. It's a federation. The states elect the president, and the states control the Senate. Individual states are federations of counties. Politicians aren't held to account for massively unpopular policies (or failure to enact massively popular policies) because the electoral machinery simply isn't built that way.
To be fair, it's a lived experience that I have found among other cult and high demand religion recoverers.

The first he pays lip-service to (we haven't seen an evidence for or against outside of his desire to bully people into silence), but doesn't his plan to make the human race multi-planetary involve bringing back indentured servitude?
that's the billion dollar question. literally, if you can solve that problem, then it's worth billions, as you'd be able to replace the indeeds of the world. i'd strongly contend that no one has even come close to actually solving this problem, which is probably in firmly the realm of P=NP.

my (now failed) startup in this space attempted to answer it for less variable jobs (hourly work), where we could tease out more signal from the noise, but even that had lots of unaccountable variability.
Don’t fear the Wayland. Wait patiently for the pain points to be worked out, and then reap the reward of a smoother and more robust desktop.

I’ve been running SwayWM for multiple years and it’s been great. There’s not anything I’m aware of that I can’t do in wlroots compositors; I even have Zoom screenshare working on my work computer under SwayWM. Most stuff, like WebRTC, doesn’t even require manual tweaks; just need the right packages installed. And you get the typical Wayland benefits, like great support for heterogeneous DPI, reduced jank, and potentially better robustness. (Depends on compositor for now; but there is a path towards compositor crash recovery, which should make things far better.)

A comparable Wayland compositor to Xmonad will likely rise as a good successor in the future.
That's not what free speech means.

Multiplanetary? Really? We'll all be so far dead by then...

That's true, but if they had fixed all the problems in the first couple of weeks, I wouldn't have minded too much. Unfortunately they didn't, and worse, they lie about problems being "normal".

Did he observe sex trafficking? He did not. He read about 25 year old allegations.

What he actually observed was ... wine. That Google managers already knew about.
Hospitals advertise, just like any other business. I’ve ran campaigns (not Facebook) for maternity wards, cancer centers, rehab, etc. You need to track conversions and exclude current customers, so you need to place trackers in a lot of different places. And you give clear instruction to the marketing guy to not grab any pii, but they might do it anyway.
Does that make it any better? "Oh, hey, here's this absolutely horrible law, but don't worry, it only applies if you're successful."
>I fought with Linux in the past. It's death by thousand gremlin bites.

My experience as well. I wanted to set up a small pi box that i could just keep with me and code on in my downtime. I of course could just use a laptop but this whole setup fit in a small stethoscope case and would get me more used to linux.

There's just SO many small things that don't quite work right, and the attitude of the userbase unfortunately tilts towards elitist if not downright hostile.

I still want to learn more and get better with it, but I spend enough of my time at work reading doc's and trying to debug, I don't love when my freetime feels almost the same.
The leader of the cult is accused of grooming minors. That means Google is funding the next Jeffrey Esptein.

> Are you supposed to then ask everyone in the department about their religious affiliations, or whether they've given money to a fringe religious organization? That also seems like a really unhealthy road for a company to go down.

I’d suggest a question like this:

1) Are you affiliated with an organization that molests children?
Any googlers have any insight into this? Or other GDS members?
I don't think Google could do that when there hasn't been a criminal case. I don't particularly like this situation but I also think it would be problematic to fire employees that were not part of the specific rumored incidents.

I'll grant that destructive cults are different than established religions, but firing these workers specifically over the sexual allegations wouldn't be much different than firing an employee who happened to be a deacon in a their local church in a Catholic diocese where the Cardinal abused children.
Yes, you're right, I'm lazy in my thinking.

Probably not stocks, but maybe actually some value stocks.

My point is just that BTC is not a safe haven from stocks.
Regardless of the architecture, you would still need the model server for online serving use cases. And you’re right that it’s best to decouple the validation/preprocessing logic from the model runtime from architecture perspective, and that’s exactly what BentoML does but a regular web framework can not do.
It’s already doing so according to a recent poll [1].

MicroServices are great, when your "app" is actually 500 different apps - and the user could be none the wiser that they are talking to 500 different one man applications. You probably need a few helper services in this world for common data access, authorization, sending notifications etc. in this environmen - but these things might also be standard libraries.

When Microservices go awry, it's often because one "service" has been broken up to meet some arbitrary org structure that will change in 6 months. In these cases the extra overhead of the microservices becomes additive to the user, and hitting latency budgets becomes exceptionally difficult. Costs increase, and in 12 months the team decry's the non-sensical service boundaries.
Any idea how many companies this applies to?
Here is a thing. The endpoint gs.apple.com already supports HTTPS (and on port 433). In fact, a new cert was issued to that endpoint on 23rd Feb 2022 -- before the date of your article. Something was already afoot before you wrote about it. This new cert also contains a custom OID, which could be used for pinning.

It is possible, with an http proxy / pihole to upgrade all of your local network connections to https when speaking to gs.apple.com.

My guess is that a change is coming, but the pieces aren't all in place yet.
Ah yes, this is definitely a challenge. At my day job we use protobuf and follow the (imo well documented and well evangelized) best practice of forbidding breaking changes to protos, so I almost forgot about this class of problem. At least for changes to structure. Changes to semantics can still happen but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone cause a major issue while keeping structures compatible.

We have escape hatches, which I mainly use when deleting code.

If he could just stay focused, I have no doubt that he'd make it to Mars.

But he evidently can't.
You can't apply it endlessly in reverse though. Say you have a piece of software that's been around for 25 years - assuming that it's halfway though its life is reasonable. If something was just released 25 minutes ago, assuming that it will be abandoned in another 25 minutes is preposterous, since products tend to have a minimum amount of time for which they stay relevant. You could use this argument to create an "ultraviolet catastrophe"[1] for the Lindy effect and argue that virtually all software should be abandoned microseconds after being released.

I want to add that not only you are right, you are more than right.

Banks pay a lot of attention to where you buy a house when they give you a mortgage. And if the location does not have solid supply constraints (to make the price go only one way, which is up), they don't give you the same advantageous terms.

Which means, NIMBYs constrain both the supply in their own neighborhood, and the demand in the non-NIMBY neighborhoods. So, prices go up everywhere.
Monopoly is a red herring term that inadequately covers the space of abuse of market power. It’s easy for abusers to argue they’re not monopolies as a means of dodging the important bit. Hell you have plenty of people eager to do it for them. See comments on this very article on HN.

Presumably there are many factors. One worth considering could be "frustration tolerance" as a construct or capability.
