Ask HN: Preparing for Systems Interviews
I last interviewed almost five years ago and at the time I was mostly asked leet code in the interview portions. I’m interviewing again now and it seems nearly every company I’m talking to has a system architecture question as part of the screen (in some cases one ML system and one Software system). I’m generally good at architecture but I’m used to solving these problems over long time horizons by doing detailed research. Are there any good resources or practice problems for doing these in 45 minute spitball sessions? I think it’s a dramatically different skill from regular system design and I’m not entirely sure how to approach it. I also would like to practice a wider variety of systems because my personal experience is a bit heavy on mobile and I feel I’m likely to get asked mostly server specific questions.
I would absolutely love a pickup truck that I can use in SF. All the modern ones are absolutely humongous. I had a Titan and that thing was enormous. Cost me absolute bags of money to offset the carbon.

Ultimately, I just want something with a bed that I can strap my bike down and take somewhere to ride. You can't really do that with the Forester I have now.
As someone who lives in the GTA...

Your post doesn't make sense for two reasons.

1) Toronto airport was built to withstand these temperatures as we have reached them before. Basically it is within the expected design parameters. UK's airport is experiencing temperatures outside its normal range.

Building infra is a lot of cost/benefit analysis. Building runways to experience the wide temperature range Toronto faces is very costly.

2) A lot of our infrastructure has been impacted by "extreme heat" as well.

How many times has GO transit issued "reduced speed" notifications due to track temperatures?

Lol. So adorable. Private repos weren't always free.

And make sure you don't accidentally ever make it private, you would be surprised what credentials you might have accidentally put in it's got history.

And then you have log in to a second github account if your company forces github tied to a company email.

No such thing as a free lunch.
> Consider that perhaps your causality is reversed. Families are smaller now because existing is more expensive relative to wages.

Perhaps we're both right, and it's a cycle. Smaller families cause these kinds of expenses to grow relative to wages, which cause smaller families. These sorts of things are not unheard of.

Hey, cool to get a response. I'm never in the space of creating tens, let alone hundreds of different models. I'm curious what this means

> usually some threshold is fixed before deployment, or the client has their own threshold they will act on.

Why would anyone do this? I mean I don't care too much about which metrics they choose to use but this seems like a really weird choice to me as its blind to any of the typical confusion matrix outcomes you see in the model validation.

I am very curious to know if you track model performance on new data made in retrospect. The frequent retraining is foreign to me. I get that its not hard to do but I would feel really uncomfortable if my models changed in a meaningful way from day to day. Maybe it's just because my models tend to deal with the outcomes of natural physical processes

I bought VWs & Audis in 3 states and had no issues.

I also had zero problems with any of my cars... including A6s and my last VW product was a VW CC.

But after that, the cars were always out of step with what they were competing with. VW started making "VWs cars for Americans in America", like the Atlas. I bought a Highlander because the Atlas was bigger than I wanted, had less tech (at the beginning, not true at the end).

Ask HN: How to keep “hard” skills as an electrical engineer working in software?
I studied electrical engineering in college. I'm finishing grad school now. My work for the past several years has been at the intersection of classical control and machine learning. More of the latter, actually.

I can pick up new, and maintain old "soft"-ware skills (programming languages, algorithms etc.) pretty much by reading online and running demos on a computer. I feel like I can keep abreast of latest skills needed to hire a software engineer.

How do I do the same with "hard"-ware skills? I studied VLSI design, circuits, and embedded systems programming in college. Many of these require expensive software or bespoke apparatus or a longer setup. Unsurprisingly, they do not have the same amount of flashy online demos that more web-dev-adjacent fields like CS have.

This question was prompted by the recent article here[1]. It talks about the decline in EE graduates over time, in favor of more software-oriented fields.

Any time-tested advice?

They're saying they want to live in a more democratic place. We're saying the US isn't and won't be that place. It's an actual, incompatible disagreement on how much individual people should affect the government not just a debate about wording.

Colloquial misuse of the word only sets people up for disappointment when they find out that a government they call a democracy isn't one.
> China is less of a threat to anyone outside the US than the government inside the US.

Why do you believe this, and based on what evidence? By “anyone outside the US”, are you referring to the population of China? What US threats are you referring to, and why do you believe they’re worse in the US? While the US has ample room for improvement, as do all countries, there’s a fairly wide range of serious humanitarian issues that are documented and indexed by a large number of people globally, and there seems to be very little disagreement about how China compares to the US on various censorship and freedom rankings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_freedom_indices
Well, an old Scout is a two-door, two row SUV, with a bit of storage in the back and a hatch-back + tail gate. Not a compact pickup (but actually a pretty short length; it qualifies for a small car rate on the Washington State ferries!). International Harvester did make pickup trucks into the mid 70s and they share some bodywork and design elements with Scouts such that you might call it a Scout pickup, but that's not what IH called them.

The compact pickup with a standard cab + 6 foot bed was mostly killed by CAFE standard updates. It didn't make sense to make them based on the footprint model. Hopefully electric trucks will bring this segment back, since they don't have the same constraints leading them towards larger footprints.

This certainly seems like a case of infra debt catching up.
The product of primes plus one isn't always prime.

For example: 3*5 + 1 = 16, not prime.

Euclid's argument is that the product of some primes plus one is either prime or not; if it's prime, then it's an example of a prime that is not in the list. If it is not prime, then Euclid argues that the number's prime factors are not in the list.

To directly use Euclid's result to find a new prime number, we have to multiply some existing numbers together, add 1, and then factor that number. If it doesn't factor, then it is a new prime; otherwise its factors are new primes.

That seems constructive; all of the steps amount to a terminating algorithm that will give us at least one new prime.
Biohacking the Oral Microbiome
I've become more and more fond of Notion over the last few months. The composition of "blocks" is very nice, and even things like how indentation is done makes a huge difference in taking notes. I can manage meal planning, grocery lists, todos, essay drafts, and software projects all in one tool.

It's also very easy to interlink things and make notes as verbose or minimal as you like from page to page. I can define an item in my weekly todos but then link to a project page that's part of a kanban board that has more context. Overall the UX just feels really elegant compared to everything else I've tried to use.
This is only approximately true at the engineering level, but at a higher level it’s the exact opposite of true. A widely supported, open standard like this is a fundamentally distinct thing, even if it hypothetically produced the exact same technological capabilities on a process-level. (Which again, these technologies exceed Flash in terms of scope.)

I do lament Flash though, because we would have gotten to this exact spot sooner if a better transitionary path was navigated, but more importantly losing the content and skill base of the Flash era was a huge loss.
Downvoting is disagreement. Deplatforming is refusing to discuss. Do I need to explain the difference between the two?
Yep and not just homes, power grid, roads ... everything. People joke that the south of England "shuts down" when there's snow, and while there are services that suffer it's never quite like how badly Texas collapsed during their big storm.

When there are extreme weather events that you've not planned, designed and built your infrastructure for, you're basically at the mercy of mother nature. In the UK's case that's extremely hot weather, in Texas' case that was extreme cold

In practice...we have. The idea that our behaviour will somehow drastically improve is pretty optimistic to put it mildly.

Vine didn’t license music the way TikTok did IIRC. That gave TikTok a core use case tapping into kareoke-culture while Vine struggled to find a mainstream audience. Vine also had a slightly-shorter format with less creator tools, and altogether this meant the platform was much more constrained I think.

Also, from the outside at least, it felt like twitter just gave up with Vine (and periscope) after a single attempt at monetization. I suspect some of the other difference was the huge bankroll for user acquisition that TikTok had and the resulting patience around monetization? But I don’t know if that is true.

> And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.

Reads to me like 2/3 of truck owners use their bed at least twice a year.

From the same paragraph:

> 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never).

Over 25% of trucks are used for towing.

> Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less.

A third of truck owners go offroad.

Add all that up and it sounds like pickups are getting a lot of use. There are no stats on what percentage of people do at least one of those things so we are left to guess but by the claims in the article it is at least "most".
Partly that Musical.ly had a much more replicable format (lip syncs.) Millions of kids could make a video without worrying they were saying the wrong thing, and good recording quality was guaranteed.
Nuclear was never "bad".

It is just the most expensive power, discounting externalities like CO2, disaster liability, decommissioning, and waste management. Include the latter, and it gets worse. Include CO2, and coal is worse.

The cheapest power, with or without externalities, is solar followed by wind. A dollar spent on those produces several times as many kWh as anything else.

They are of course intermittent, but that doesn't matter much because their share of total generation is low. As their contribution comes to dominate, we will need to add storage. Until then, money is overwhelmingly more usefully spent adding generating capacity, as is being done. But a hell of a lot more should have been and needs to be spent on that.
Maybe in fat tyres e-bikes with heavy weight, or cargo bikes, having ABS is reasonable or even necessary, but I don't find that on a common MTB e-bike, for example. I hope they are more consumer-friendly than current car and motorcycle modules BTW.

That all makes sense and lines up with my experience. Schools have a hard time keeping IT staff, as soon as you manage a school district for a year or two you can double or triple your salary elsewhere. So the near adminless part of chomebooks is quite valuable, doubly so when every IT lead seems to want to go in a different direction.

I do question the utility of laptops vs desktops. Assuming students aren't on the laptop during every class. If you assume say 1-2 hour a day of laptop time and access to a web browser at home you could save much of the waste of throwing away a laptop every 4 years. LCD panels can easily last 10 years, and batteries are often the first thing to die on laptops. I've built diskless linux desktops for educational settings, with a bit of tweaking was pretty much seamless for users. Literally had a browser, matlab, mathematic, maple, and print icons on the desktop and didn't do any training for incoming students. We'd buy 100 at a time or so and they would last 6-8 years, and each one met the needs of 4-10 students.

Cost (and environmental impact) is quite a bit less for a mac mini/Intel NUC and similar SFFS than a laptop.

Libertarians are funny because most other ideologies can find some reason to view them in a bad light, but I think the reasons to view them as right wing is that they commonly have attitudes like, "regulations are bad," "taxes are theft," "leave me and my guns alone," "fuck the poor" etc. They're often proponents of private roads, private schools, private emergency services, and so on. This all offends the left. And of course, they offend the right with their lack of interest in policing people's personal lives.

I sort of consider myself a libertarian who sees the need for a social safety net, regulations, strong consumer protection, education, infrastructure, emergency services, and healthcare. You know, a democrat. :D

Assuming that you're not hardcoding anything region-specific, a copy is likely going to be the preferred method since this way you know that the AMIs are the same (ie there's no way that a dependency updated). However there are two complicating factors that may persuade you the other way. Check the cost of cross-region data transfer vs the cost of building your AMI. If your AMI is particularly large, it may make more financial sense to just rebuild the AMI.
The other complicating factor is encryption. You _can_ copy an encrypted AMI per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/CopyingA..., although perms can be a bit finicky. If you're encrypting something with a region-specific Vault or a HSM, then you'll likely need to rebuild the AMI
