As someone who worked on indoor positioning at Apple, I’ll disagree with this. We were doing some basic probability estimation of WiFi signals (ML techniques but not AI). First, you still need the computation to compute within a reasonable time/power envelope. Secondly you need it to be numerically stable (adding a large number of very large and very small floating point together). Doing this using infinite precision libraries would be infeasible because while fast they aren’t as fast as regular floating point. Additionally using regular floating point meant that we could utilize BLAS and Lapack which had SIMD HW acceleration. At the end we managed to fit this within the power envelope of GPS with minimal CPU utilization (after many rounds of optimizing the CPU and WiFi scanning). Additionally, the runtime performance of the core numerical algorithm determined how long the training (building the maps was similar to locating yourself) and -validation tools (checking if a commit changed runtime performance) ran.

Now sometimes you don’t need this level of effort but don’t underestimate just how much CPU you might be leaving on the floor. Sometimes it can mean what seems like an impractically slow algorithm actually runs fine. Even if you ran an infinite precision version of the ML code on a modern desktop CPU you might struggle to get perf to get the system to run in real-time (we needed to run the simulation within 5-10 ms and then do a bunch of even more complicated math to compute the blue dot location every 250ms)

There's a concept used to compare alternatives called a "quality-adjusted life year": basically people like living in ways that make them happy, dislike hard years. There are many places where you'll get very solid treatment as part of social insurance, but even in places where you would not I think your premise is flawed. If you halve your quality of life in order to extend a...60 year lifetime to 70 years it would not be a good exchange.

Why 20 weeks? Are the voting populace or politicians knowledgeable enough about pregnancy to be able to legislate these things without exposing doctors and women to unnecessary legal risk? And again, back to the numbers, does the is even need legislating? Are women or doctors haphazardly running around killing perfectly viable fetuses for fun?

Rich people often try to purchase political influence and respect for their opinions. Historically, this has had very mixed results, but you can't deny that it has sometimes worked.

> without prep, it's quite unlikely to pass the interviews at these tech giants

What's the definition of "pass"? I've done around 4-5 rounds of these interviews over my career, without prep - Microsoft, Google (several times because I keep thinking they'll give a reasonable offer), and my current company. In exactly none of them did I have all the answers right away. In some of them, I even failed to come up with 'the right answer' in the allotted time. After exactly all of them I got an offer.

I don't think people arguing about these even understand what the goal is; or they fail the behaviorals or whatever and then blame it on "failed" interview questions.

Statistics presented there doesn't necessary show healthcare system performance. Life expectancy will be dependent on a lot of other things, like population genetics/diet/lifestyle.

Also, regarding healthcare system quality, one of related statistics from this article are in favor of US: "30-day mortality for heart attacks and strokes is lower in the U.S. than in comparable countries". Same with ischemic stroke(and it's better in US by quiet much, 4.1 vs 6.1 30-day mortality rate per 100 patients in other countries).

To be fair, we did run into some issues with the GHC garbage collector performance initially. That took some time to figure out and wasn't the easiest thing ever. Like all tools, there are rough edges sometimes.

I still maintain that the Haskell we wrote at the time was pretty cheap in terms of operational load / bugs to fix (especially compared to the systems that they replaced). When I was back at the office for a reunion, I heard that things were still pretty nice in this respect, but maybe someone still at Channable can chime in with more recent stories!

Write through cache doesn’t need invalidation. You can also invalidate through cache shoot downs. I’m sure there are many other techniques. Invalidation just means “what’s your strategy for removing things from the cache”. Using an expiry age is only one technique.
Sounds like nonsense. Can you explain how it was ‘imposing a regime’, when nobody was forced to do anything? If you didn’t want an abortion you just…didn’t have one.

Kinda sounds like religious people are the ones actually trying to impose a regime to me. Because I couldn’t possibly care less what anyones preferred god thinks, yet religious beliefs are being used to drive political changes that affect everyone.

This sounds like a solved problem in theory, but someone has to fix the parser.

The commonmark spec defines left- and right-flanking delimiters, and provides a reference implementation that can get this right for backticks to represent inline code. Doing the same with dollar signs - and treating the content delimited by them, like the content delimited by backticks, as not to be processed further as markdown should handle most use cases.

Admittedly, the phrase "an apple costs $1 but an orange is 2$ for some reason" would be incorrectly recognised as math, but only because you're switching how you place the dollar signs halfway through.

Not recognising $[a+b](c+d)$ because the brackets are also link syntax sounds like the parsing operations are done in the wrong order. The $ comes first, so it should win.

I've used jupyter-book to typeset math-in-markdown before now, and it gets this just right, showing that it's a solved problem in practice too unless I'm missing something.

It's really difficult for AWS or any other serverless provider for that matter, to achieve a kind of "bulletproof and safe user experience" across different offerings that encompasses everything that has to do with billing/monitoring/alerting and then also cover all kinds of potential customer scenarios (like the function calling itself, as one example).

For example, it's totally understandable that the alarms can be specified per region, why shouldn't it be like this?

Also the global AWS billing $300 alert seems to have worked but you were asleep as far as I understand. If it was a call-out style alert, then you would've noticed in the middle of the night and could've stopped it.

The only thing I agree is frustrating is this:

I've hired a lot of people over the course of my career, and questions like this would be a major red flag. I'd pass on the candidate.

Completely fine to ask how performance is measured and/or how performance reviews are handled, but the nature of these questions is off-putting. Is a candidate trying to figure out how they can get away with being a low performer? How would their poor judgment in asking questions like this show up elsewhere? Likely a high-maintenance individual.

And, the caveats at the end of the comment indicate the author knows these questions would not make you look good to the hiring team. If the company hired you anyway, probably wouldn't be a good place to work.
The reasons are regulatory, not BoM costs. Getting a new medical device approved is hard, and that becomes much harder when you’ve got electronics that could hurt the user, or leave them stranded.
AWS may promote the technologies as prototype friendly but at the end of the day its built to be enterprise grade production tool. A company will not even bother with a 4000$ mistake, its just the price of doing business so there is little incentive to address these types of problems.
Playing around with AWS for side projects is like using a chainsaw, it can really accelerate your work but if you are going to make a mistake you may lose an arm and a leg :).

> If they are resurrected, couldn’t they be baptized themselves?

Intellectual honesty here: I don't know the answer for certain. An interesting question! I don't see an obstacle to it, since baptism and resurrection are, I my understanding, independent events. More than happy to learn more myself to get you an answer, if you'll accept the raincheck. :)

> ...no records need to be recovered. ...

Records will still be necessary. Joseph Smith is very explicit in Doctrine and Covenants 128:6-9 about this, in that we interpret the power to "bind in heaven" as the power to present records of ordinances/rites like baptism that will be ratified by Christ as final. If there are no records of an ordinance like baptism having happened, then they'll need to be done again.

> Will there be millions of temples built to accommodate? Or is a temple not necessary for Baptiam [sic]?

I'm not sure on this either! I think both will be necessary. Baptisms for self need not a temple, though proxy baptisms have recently only been authorized in temples. I can see a world where the temple requirement gets relaxed, since there's historical precedent. Raincheck also, if you're interested.

> Do you also do proxy marriages?

We do indeed! There are four types of ordinances currently done in temples:

1. Proxy baptisms
2. Initiatories: washing and anointing as prep. for 3 (proxy and living)
3. Endowment (proxy and living)
4. Sealing (proxy and living); this encompasses marriages (sealing of a couple) and sealing between children and parents.

Church policies and administrative descriptions of these ordinances can be found at:

- General Handbook, ch. 27: living ordinances: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-han...
- General Handbook, ch. 28: proxy ordinances: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-han...

SQL is also a big constant of my programming career, I know it can do everything I need, but sometimes it is frustrating how its limitations make some simple things complicated.

For example, one of the biggest gripes I have with SQL is the fact that the table is the only output format, it doesn't allow outputting data with different cardinalities in a single query. The internal relational model of a RDBMS is extremely rich and powerful, but when extracting that data using SQL you have to leave all the richness behind and flatten the data into a simple dumb table. So as result we have to do much back and forth with separate queries based on results of previous ones (or even ugly hacks like concatenate higher cardinality data into a single field to then re-separate it in the application). A suitable successor for SQL should have a way to output a subset of the relational model with the relational part intact.
