That is crazy; I had the exact opposite experience I just mentioned in another comment. When I turned Google down I was told I could come back and skip the interviews any time in the next year. (Presumably no longer valid with the freeze, but still.) And this is the second time I've turned them down after getting a concrete offer! Personally I did not expect "aw shucks, hope you change your mind" when I did that and yet that's precisely what I got.
Makes a lot of sense. Paying customers are far better ad targets than deadbeats.

I totally see your points and I agree.

> I'm not sure about the "mission system" part.

Here's my (subjective and likely limited) perspective: the LDS church has a culture that heavily emphasizes missionary efforts. Young adult men active in the church are expected to serve missions. Most of my female friends/family who are active members are taught to marry active men who have returned home from missions. My opinion is that that missionary culture saturates even those women who have not served who are active members (especially if they have married a former missionary) and I would imagine that bolsters their willpower to persistently push these products. Additionally, there is a busy-body culture (that I also feel is heavily influenced by missionary culture) I have noticed to be always engaged in good things and I would imagine for a lot of women making money fits that mold.

I may be totally wrong, but that's a theory that makes sense to me and lines up with my experiences.
Having used to work at Capital One within Shared Tech, I worked with a lot of really brilliant engineers who could easily have been working at FAANG. That being said, they didn't pay as well as FAANG so a lot of us moved on.

I'm not surprised at all by this move, there's a lot of solutions at Capital One that can be monetized. The company is so large that there's redundant solutions concurrently developed by different teams, inevitably someone was going to work the bureaucracy to start selling SaaS
Please. A million people have gotten back on the horse after having terrifying trips, myself included.

The problem isn't really petroleum. We have more than enough petroleum for straws. And the carbon in paraffin is not in the atmosphere, which is good.

The problem with plastic straws, if you believe their opponents (whose claims I have not evaluated), is that they are persistent pollutants that harm animals. If paraffin-waxed paper straws are not, that's an improvement, petroleum or no.

No, but people are looking for any reason to claim that MS has ruined GitHub so that the loud Twitter predictions they made during the acquisition aren't as embarrassing.
> psychedelic use is beneficial for anxiety and depression

The claim is that psychedelic use is beneficial /because/ it's psychedelic, but this isn't necessarily true (because of the rule that the boring outcome is the most likely). You could probably invent a kind of ketamine that does absolutely nothing interesting and yet still has the benefits.

> increased spirituality

Is that a positive effect? Imagine all the people you know turning into Gwyneth Paltrow.

I found this interesting, and was immediately curious for more: what the data was like going back more than a month, if there are any correlations to number of bedrooms, school districts, or the like, etc. etc. I could imagine you coming up with very interesting auto-generated 40-50 page reports.

I would not pay for this now, but when I was on the real estate market last year I might have. You could target individual buyers or sellers ($5-20 or so for a single report), real estate agents (some sort of subscription), or both -- don't know what the best strategy is.
TIL about pickleball: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleball
"The complaint is seeking class action status. Interestingly, the suit aims to "remedy the harm that Apple has caused to France-resident iOS developers ... by way of its violations of US antitrust and California fair-competition law." So Apple is being sued for allegedly breaking its home country's laws, not French or European law."

"Societe du Figaro, L'Équipe, and Le Geste believe Apple has violated the federal antitrust Sherman Act and California's Competition Law and Cartwright Act by acting as the sole gatekeeper of the App Store."

if you are getting shit done then that is all that matters - but it is hard to find a compelling reason to start with PHP these days unless 1. you are constrained to commodity godaddy-esque cpanel hosting or 2. you have an entire team of PHP devs.
If the FSF becomes a CIA vendor, I'm definitely out. Your analogy doesn't quite make sense, though. Neither Linux nor GNU are vendors to anyone. If they were, it would throw enough of their mission into question that most people would stop supporting them and fork everything.
Having younguns pounding out code 12-16 hours a day reminds me ofInflexible Logic" by Russell Maloney Fadiman story of a roomful of chimpanzees on typewriters churning out Shakespeare. Today it would be the latest version of Windows.
That is probably for the best.

In the bad/fun old days of extremely small on-call loop, a less clear/organized escalation chain, and fairly "roll your own" per-team tooling, once in a blue moon a whole business unit would be down because 10k machines were crash-looping and you just needed `if (NULL == ptr) return;` on like one line to end the carnage. There are exceptions to every rule I suppose.

But in 7 years at FB I think I force slammed someone else as reviewer with merely their verbal approval in the middle of the night 2 or 3 times, and never after like, 2015.
This reminds me a lot of the engine simulators people would make in the sandbox gamemode for Garry's Mod. When I was first getting into coding I used the Expression 2 programming language (basically a scripting language implemented in the Lua sandbox for GMod) and this kind of thing was somewhat common. Here's an example of an engine that someone else made (the code is in the video description): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktbu4gomOjA

Interestingly, that has been the case for 25 years or so now but none except perl was able to do that?
> at the expense of his employees

This was the whole point of the analogy. Taking risky bets has cost the employees nothing. The only thing that the employees have lost is imaginary future pay and benefits that could have been taken from them at any point for near any reason. It's hurting the employees that were laid off as much as me choosing not to eat at my local burger stand hurts its owner. Dgmr, it sucks to get laid off, it's a huge PITA and a good number of them were probably depending on that income but they haven't lost anything.

Those cost of those massive risks are actually literally at the expense of the shareholders. Ironically the employees who have some of their compensation in stocks will actually be helped by this move.
It wasn't really just about Google. I was applying to lots of companies but wasn't interviewing at anywhere at the level of Google at the time. More of a "Big Tech" dream
It is also because executives operate on the long tail of a pareto distribution. You get there by capitalizing on a large number of successful gambles. With few exceptions, you don't get their without beating the odds several times in a row.
If you don't know what you're talking about, it's good form to lead with that.
> Cloning a mutable array is also O(1) if you use copy-on-write.

Note that this is just an example of the idea that mutable structures can achieve anything immutable structures can, by just treating them as if they're immutable. While you're using copy-on-write, your mutable array can be cloned in constant time and updated in linear time, presenting the exact characteristics of an immutable array.

The mutable "equivalent" algorithm is much nastier, though, since, after you do the cloning, you'll need to create the new object (the slow, O(n) clone) as soon as you want to update either the new structure or the old one. In the functional paradigm, this is also the case -- but you're always generating a new object that you're about to use, as opposed to generating a new object because something else somewhere else in the code was watching you. For example, if you have an array, and you update it (forcing it to be realized), and then you update it a second time, you can't rely on the first time you updated it to prove that the second update will be fast. Maybe it was cloned between the updates.
Something tells me infosec's not going to give me the okay on that one.

In lieu of that, I think "sending a wave of money through the system by handing a check to every taxpayer will not temporarily change some peoples' behavior" is the hypothesis that would need some data to back it up, in my view.
The obvious thing to do would be to store the image in memory as just an array of 8-bit of native unsigned integers (RGBARGBARGBARGBA...) and see where that got you. I assume C# has the equivalent of a Java byte[], except that fortunately it is unsigned in C# instead of signed in Java.

I expect that you would get quite a performance boost with just that.
I work in the AI field, but not on image generation.

I don't think it would be technically hard to build a model with current technology which can generate logos with the attributes which you mentioned. You could simply fine-tune a Dalle-E style model specifically on a smaller dataset of logos. This would just take a small dedicated team of domain experts to work on the problem.
I'm not sure you get more words that way, though. The transcript of a half-hour video isn't very long, even if it's mostly talking.

>Passkeys use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric verification

I was under the impression it was very poor security to use something like a face or fingerprint as a password... Okay for a username, but should be avoided at all costs for passwords.
Program managers have very little utility. Ops should really be automated (i.e. it should be half run by SWEs that automate everything they can), so real ops headcount should stay constant as the company grows as automation is increased. I would hope marketing is data driven on things like CAC, but who knows at a lot of companies. Lots of marketing people are not quantitatively fluent.
This is an utterly annoying failure of legislation. The law could have mandated that a standardized mechanism to opt in (or even out!) would be implemented by major browsers and the relevant standards, providing APIs for websites to integrate. It could have even been about that vague and still be more effective and less counterproductive. The actual legislation invites this sort of abuse. Understanding that the abuse is intentional is a component of understanding the situation. But the blame for it doesn’t absolve the law, it implicates it.

If the vague proposal I’m suggesting sounds outlandish, that’s more or less how every major browser implements other requests for intrusive APIs as a matter of protecting users. Even when they do it half-heartedly they do it by developing a standard with their more invested peers which is far less prone to universal abuse.

Because it happened. Sergia finally retired at age 60, be it that she transitioned only because of it or not. Every May the 8th some newspaper reminds us of this, or maybe someone gets an interview with Sergia. I'm sorry if I only could get Daily Mail as the only english-speaking media to cover this, but you probably can find news from that year from local newspapers (I did search the Buenos Aires Times first, with no luck, and the Buenos Aires Herald went down a year before Sergia's rise to prominence, so you'll have to deal with spanish-speaking sourcea).

The trend? I've heard about other men in their late 50s transitioning, and boasting about it as a means to retire at 60. I don't believe it's a massive thing though, as most people don't retire with the minimum age here, as retirement plans are very low.
We don't even know if difficult problems exist; at least in a way that is useful to cryptography (e.g. become easy once you know a small shared secret).

We have some problems (factorization, and discrete log) that no one has found a way to efficiently solve on a Turing machine; but we don't really have a solid reason to think these problems are difficult. All we know is that our best mathamaticians have been stuck on them for generations.

The bigger problem is that even these reductions to assumed difficult problems represent only a small portion of cryptography. We prove things like AES and SHA512 are secure by publishing them and waiting a few years to see if anyone publishes a break. No meaningful reduction to well researched problems, just a hope that we wont discover we missed something after making it a standard.
No, none of these studies compares drugs that induce the supposed neuroplasticity effect without the trip to normal hallucinogenics. The claim was that the trip is what makes the drugs work, but we haven't investigated that question yet because the new drugs aren't available.
Covid and the wide scale embracing of remote work is really going to combine with layoffs to massacre our wages.

Some FAANG companies will likely prioritize hiring in Europe and Asia and use that to pressure bay area salaries down.
I’m based in the UK but always worked for US companies.

Speaking to a British company recently and they were trying to hire for a senior web dev role at £40k (<$50,000)

I found that surprising to say the least given that even entry level dev roles in the US pay more than that.

Lesson of the story: embrace remote work.
lol, madness that phones can be "locked" to a network.

Legacy code bases are more often that not huge monstrosities. Maybe you do start with some tests and increment, but there's no "just" involved.
oh my that is daft (thanks)
How can that argument be made for pretty much anything?

I thought Sabines point is that the measurements required to confirm the theory aren't possible, so it's largely lots of money and time going into pointless speculation right now - even if you find the right solution you have no means to test it.

Mathematics you can make your own proofs on paper, physics is not the same.
It seems to me like based on this information doas would be simpler and more secure. Another comment brought up that doas is available on Linux but doesn't function as well because kernel timers are disabled. This made me wonder: is doas not as popular as sudo because sudo functions the same across Unix-like platforms where doas doesn't?

I wonder this because doas seems like it is superior but I rarely see how-to documentation (on Linux, at least) that uses anything aside from sudo (or just su) for privilege escalation.
At first I thought maybe he helped facilitate SIM card transfers used in 2FA hijacking, but this guy was just unlocking phones so they could be used on other networks.

What a stupid thing cell phone locking is. Good job FBI doing nothing but carrying water for large corporations against users.
Imagine making 25 million dollars illegally and using it to buy real estate in the US. I would be on an island in the middle of nowhere.
That's true.

According to my notes (using Obsidian), there was not support for linking to other notes which was a deal breaker for me. I'm curious if this has changed, but not curious enough to install it.
How do you expect them to get people to pay for their phones then?

Edit: judging by the downvotes people seem unaware that phones are unlocked once their monthly plan is paid. I'm perplexed as to how you think it's okay for you to get a phone for like 8 bucks and then move to a different carrier without paying the rest.
The EU laws require the banners to be shown to all EU citizens regardless of the country they're in, right? I think the only way to be absolutely safe is to show cookie banners everywhere.
Whenever I see people talk like this I wonder if they’ve ever visited Eastern Europe, Asia, South / Central America, Africa, or basically anywhere outside of the continental US.

You haven’t seen real corruption unless you’ve left the states.
I question "we have to say goodbye"

I worked for a small business. The CEO and other executives were generally ethical people. When revenue went down, the C-level executives took a pay cut to ensure others could stay. They knew they could weather it better than their employees. Their salaries were always some of the lowest even before that, because they had a stake in the business that the employees did not have.

Given how much money this person makes, how much of a safety net they likely have compared to their employees, it doesn't make much sense that they do not redistribute their personal wealth to help the people they are "deeply sorry" to "say goodbye to"
Hacking and phishing t-mobile employees and using those credentials to sell unlocks to the tune of millions is.. actually pretty bad, yeah. That was probably the right for the FBI to stop.

From a user perspective, day trading is very similar to online poker or other gambling activities. The exception being that everyone wins sometimes, and everyone loses other times.

"A very common practice was to create a duplicate part number," this former IBMer explained. "It's a unique part number but there's no difference in product or delivery."
The reason that language models require large amounts of data is because they lack grounding. When humans write a sentence about.. let's say "fire", we can relate that word to visual, auditory and kinesthetic experiences built from a coherent world model. Without this world model the LM needs a lot of examples, essentially it has to remember all the different contexts in which the word "fire" appears and figure out when it's appropriate to use this word in a sentence. A perfect language model is literally impossible because you can always contrive a novel context that the LM has never seen before.

I suspect that the more data modalities we add the less data would required, but that's not the whole picture either. For example, text-to-image generators often makes weird mistakes that look "unphysical", or objects that look like they're flowing into eachother. The reason is because these models (including DALLE) uses a simple UNET, which basically only sees textures. What it lacks is a human inductive bias that 2d images are typically representations of a 3d world, a world which contains largely discrete objects and physics. It makes these mistakes because it doesn't know what objects are, and need to brute force this idea from a ton of observations. Even simple cognitive abilities like object persistence requires time perception, which these models lack.

I think the fact that these models can make up for this deficit with a ton of data is very telling. There is a lot of low hanging fruit in integrating more data modalities.
No.
