Hi HN, I'm Arjun and I'm 15 years old. I built Hacker News Gists to help save time for HN users. Most users don't
have the time to read all the articles that they might be interested in. My uncle is one of them.
He gave me an idea to build a website where readers can post gists of articles so that readers who don't have the time
to read the full article can read the gists to decide whether or not to read the full article.
Try it out. If you have any questions, find any errors or have any suggestions for improvement, please comment below.
> slowing down customer-purchased devices before pushing new devices to the market.

This is wrong. Apple pushed out a fix that when the phone detects it has crashed due to the soc getting undervolted, they would limit the maximum cpu frequency to avoid the phone having future power failures. This is absolutely what the user wants. There is no point getting full cpu speed if it means the phone just reboots when you use it.

Where they failed was in communication. They should have signalled to the user that this has happened and that they should replace the battery. They now do this and have a whole battery health page.

Communication is a massive problem for megacorps because everything (usually rightfully) becomes a huge deal. But id not be so quick to jump to malice as an explanation.
I think being full stack is doable to some extent, I often find that it's easier to design a good solution that you can deliver in a timely manner if you know more of the stack. You'll face less "glue code" and "domain change" issues, so you ship stuff faster. I think the challenge is being full stack, understanding deeply each layer of the stack, and being comfortable with the fact that you'll be paid the same compensation regardless of if you're doing 2~4 persons jobs.
I mean, you can, but you shouldn't. I don't think anyone is arguing that any representation is suitable for all usecases or that ieee754 should not be available in programming languages.

Also, I think I'm too tired by now, I get confused too much between the rationals as the rational numbers \mathbb{Q} and the rationals as an implementation of rational numbers using a quotient of two integers.

> I would bear in mind, that they are not professionals for handling consumer cases

If they take your money for a product, then they are professionals for handling consumer cases, they are obliged to be.

They might not want to be, in which case they should hire people who do want to be.
His manager was definitely a power-move playing prick (although probably this way because he himself was insecure within the organization) and, unfortunately, they are exactly the sorts of people who turn estimates into deadlines. Decent managers don't say "I need this by end of day" unless the project really is company-existential.

If the manager was asking in good faith, he'd have explained why he was asking for the estimate and what decisions would be made based on it, and give the employee allowances to give timeframes that no one would he held to... but it doesn't seem like he was that kind of person.
The confusion is also caused by the fact that in Italy, gelato is always translated in English as "ice cream", but for English speaking people they are different things.
Yes. It’s also perfectly acceptable to raise it in the standup where everyone is present anyway. That’s what the whole thing is for.
It is an advice for Internet only, right?
Any other way of representing the real numbers is going to have gotchas. Rational numbers take up more space and are slower to use, but also have real drawbacks like not being able to do sqrt or having to worry about overflow when doing a comparison.

Ultimately, there is no substitute for knowing what you are doing.
I’m reminded of when I was in college in Model U.N., there was one guy in the group who presented very socially awkward (his posture made him look like a question mark in profile, he was kind of physically awkward, didn’t participate in the social activities of the club). My senior year, I was the secretary-general¹ of the club. We’d finally let him chair a committee at our annual conference that we held for Southern California high school students. I was walking from committee room to committee room during the conference checking on how things were going and when I looked in on his committee—well, he was totally rocking it. I realized we had squandered his talents for four years because of surface appearances.

RRX? The double deck EMUs I'm aware of go up to 200 km/h, though maybe some designs could be pushed to 220 km/h. In some way yes, touché, although that's still not quite the same league as the class of 250 - 320+ km/h trains.

Another counterexample might be the Giruno (250 km/h), but that in turn needs to compromise on its door location (only a single door per coach, and placed centrally in the middle of the coach).

> and follow directions

Ultimately yes, but a manager who takes decisions without considering the input of their subordinates is shortsighted and oblivious to their challenges.

Saying that it's a "team decision" while no one else in the team was even aware of that decision and the process behind it is dishonest at best.

In my opinion, that shows that the manager was doing a poor communication job with his subordinates and ensure that the decision process was understood, and that led to frustration on both sides.

>Look at the French very very imaginative. They are providing over 30 million terminals in homes, free of charge, despite the fact they are going to cost something about £40 each because it is cheaper than producing telephone directories. And once the terminal is in, once it's there, the incentive is to use it for other things, obviously.

So, it's marvelous marketing. It is cheaper over time for the French than bring out telephone directories every 2 years. You just plug in to the central computer, you find your numbers at the same time you can find all sorts of other things. You'll be using word processors and text processors as information units as links in an information chain, not just to type.

And when that happens, when you can get the technology into the home, when you can get the technology away from the office, when you have word processors and text processors talking to other text processors and that point you don't need the middleman or -woman, do you?

He is referring to the very successful story of Minitel[0](Videotex) which began to be implemented widely in 1982. It is relatively unknown outside of France but in France just part of their naturally shared "(3516-)" IT history; peaking in 2000 with around 25 million users (40% of the population).

these HR systems also use "bad culture fit" to encode red flags they can't legally record: health issues, political disagreements.

This is absolutely the case.

That said, you're probably not going to get fired over your politics unless you're either (a) seen as a union supporter (or, worse, organizer), or (b) so far right you've already been cancelled and are now a PR liability. If you're in the middle, they usually don't really care who you vote for, at least not enough to punish you for it.

Pick three rocks and make a line with them. Does the line “exist”? Well, yes, in a way. But also very much no, only the rocks exist (let’s ignore the fact that the three imaginary rocks that you have pictured in your mind while reading the previous phrase also don’t exist).

Qualia, and consciousness, exist in the same way that line exists but also doesn’t. The universe will happily give non-conclusive answers like that and keep on working while we struggle to figure it all out.

So I reject the first axiom of this reasoning. Well I sorta reject it. Kinda. If I was forced to be precise, I would say that trying to find a binary answer (is it computation, or not?) is asking the wrong type of question. The right question has higher bit count, and maybe even some qbits as well.
I can also get Daniel Dennett to agree that he is not conscious.

IIRC, Brazil includes dentistry in its regular healthcare. Cleanings are cheap-to-free so folks wind up getting cleanings and the like. There are also a lot of dentists in Brazil - I think it is the 3rd largest dental system and employes something like 15% of the world's dentists. Hardly rushing folks through while they scream in pain.

(I don't know the intricacies of the Brazilian system other than it includes dentistry and is a combination of private and public systems, so I might be wrong. Folks from Brazil seem to be happy enough with it, but they might be biased).
I know this is a just for fun post, but C++ engineers haven't been especially happy with iostreams. {fmt} and std::format are more modern alternatives.

And use of std::endl is widely considered an antipattern. Use of '\n' is always better for printing new lines.
For sure it's definitely not a simple question where the answer is "right now" all of the time, but my overall point is that at least with modern trends in development, we way overcorrect for "right".

A couple of things that help me when considering this question:

- Is it really a question of "right" vs. "right now"? Is there a genuine compromise with choosing the simpler option? In my experience there often isn't. Using server rendered HTML vs. a SPA for some types of applications isn't going to result in a poorer UX. Using a slower language might be fine forever if raw language execution speed isn't your bottleneck (it rarely is IMO).

- Is it more expensive to do what's best for later later? I think this is especially relevant for dev ops questions. Moving to a Kubernetes setup is going to be just as expensive in the future as it is right now, so it's better to delay that cost for when you actually need it.

- How likely is it that you're going to know what is going to require a more robust solution now? Do you know what the service boundaries of your microservices are going to be? Do you know which portions of your app are going to be scaling concerns?
The iPhone is like a service. I don’t see a restaurant as a cage because I didn’t control exactly how my food is made. I don’t want to deal with that, I want to build trust with a business and get the service I want. When I stop getting satisfactory service, I pick a different business.
Fired? Got fired? Just say fired.

I've gotten fired, I've also gotten dumped. I can't hate on women for dumping me, they don't owe me anything, just accept the dump and move on. Sometimes it's better not to question it much, second-guessing the woman, it's over that's it, next. Well there's times not, like if the employer created the expectation of long-term employment, that's a debt. If he enters debt, that's a debt. If he cheats you of wages, that's a debt. Gotta collect. I have taken them to court, that's the whole point of a contract, enforcing contracts. Some people said that's violent but in fact it's the exact contrary, the only anti-violent resolution.

If he just says, hey this isn't working out, in good faith, like doesn't extend a contract, fine.

What needs to happen is it be more viable to do your own thing, be an entrepreneur. That was the case in the 19th century in America, after the Civil War, men just went and did their own shit. A farmer is an entrepreneur. Panning for gold is entrepreneurship (open even to slaves in the case of Brasil, you could earn your freedom in less time than the voyage). Bitcoin mining is entrepreneurship. And of course all the businesses in the Long Depression (which was not a modern-style depression like the current depression, but rather an industrialization process where everything kept getting cheaper, deflation through industry).
As a solo dev/founder I had little choice but be a full stack engineer. As long as you don't go overboard with the complexity and enjoy learning, it is very feasible to master the entire stack sufficiently. For me keeping things simple is having a single repo, everything in TypeScript and using popular libraries and frameworks. No kubernetes but a single beefy server with a hot spare. I think being responsible for the entire stack is what makes it so interesting.

Just by curiosity, is there any particular reason why the math and physics teacher job does not make you happy?

> it is very fast and scales quite nicely on CPU with 4 threads (~ twice the speed), but not further (I tried it on a 64 cores box).

Well, practically it does NOT scale even past 6 threads.
64 cores are just overkill, and most likely it will only hurt performance.

> Not sure why since they seem to be using torch's native threading support.
> surprisingly, it is not that much faster when run on a GPU

Probably for the same reason, you can speed up the NN only so much.
Realistically it can be made 2-3x faster still.
Also currently we abandoned batching, so GPUs are not really required at all.

I believe the compute required during training and inference … may differ by 3 or 4 orders of magnitude (!).

I didn't learn programming at university at all. We had some modules for that but it remained entirely theoretical throughout the course. I did learn it autonomously by trial and error before which made these modules quite trivial most of the time.

If you don't learn it yourself you won't get far. But with the density of tests today I understand that students focus elsewhere.
