> And they were surprised. As far as I can tell Google can't figure out how to not assume that they're everybody's dream job choice like I guess they might have been in the 2000s.

I think this is a symptom.

Their experience getting hired is likely the same as yours: all your family and friends and even significant others sometimes think its the dream job and the most important accolade in your life.

You know thats its not. They're not in big tech, they're not in medium tech either. You know there's plenty of organizations you can get paid in lottery ticket securities from, you know there's publicly traded organizations with faster vesting schedules and higher stock market upside. But they don't know that.

Many of the people that go into Google was surrounded by that same pressure by their friends and family of getting accepted, and then they also are beneficiaries of Google's infrastructure and financial weight off their shoulders. It distorts their view whether they realize they can get paid more elsewhere or not.

So it selects for that distortion field where people forget that Google is just a choice.
I agree that her history of activity really does play a part in being re-elected.

I find the parent comment a bit shocking. It seems unreasonable to claim an elected U.S. representative is somehow not allowed to engage in foreign policy discourse by visiting a country or by suggesting that they aren’t representing their constituent’s views because they do political work outside of the (U.S.) country?

Shall we hazard a guess about unelected Americans? Are those people allowed to exercise their right to freedom of movement and freedom of speech? Obviously yes and yes, but partisan polarization makes all of these norms, rights even, a point of contention.

The Department of State is not the only group of American bureaucrats who are allowed to travel and engage in public actions that are considered political. America isn’t a dictatorship where only specific party members are allowed to engage in foreign policy discussions. When any American is threatened by members of an actual dictatorship (of the proletariat, literally), it might be worth considering that these issues transcend party politics.

The parent comment strongly implies that there isn’t a long history of elected American officials visiting other countries, often with controversial media coverage and/or overt political threats from less than liberal societies. That history also extends to normal Americans speaking in foreign parliaments and speaking in public squares. It is a good thing that everyone has these rights, even if everything said isn’t always good.

With that said, Pelosi might be provoking world war three, but the reason to argue against her actions isn’t because she doesn’t have the right to travel or speak or engage in politics abroad.

As a side note: Taiwan probably should be defended by people who support democracy, though I understand this might not be seen as defense but as unnecessary provocation.

Related though and on display in this thread is a kind of cynicism against America doing positive political actions abroad. This is part of a larger trend perceived from inside and certainly outside of America about some Americans: the light of liberty is going out in America, and most of the world has noticed. It isn’t particularly partisan and has really accelerated since 9/11 under both parties in different ways. It is really sad. America should be a light of liberty in the world, we should bring hope to democracies under threat from illiberal societies. I understand that this is now controversial in America in some political circles and it is really terrible. As polarization increases, all sides will find friends in exile or worse - peaceful resolution requires political discourse regardless of geographical location.

Put another way: Ensure your political “enemies” have basic rights or you too might find that you are without rights, if and likely when, other people run the show…

The tautology is that business inefficiencies are costs, either future, current, or comparative. Saying that inefficiencies will be punished in the long term is tautological, you're just restating the definition business inefficiencies.

As far as economists making that argument, take a look at the strong and semi-strong EMH. Plenty of economists agree with the semi-strong version.
But it was not just a power grid failure.

It was a widespread infrastructure failure that ultimately caused the power grid to fail too.

> The widespread winter storm produced low temperatures across the region. This is an unusual event, much worse than the worst case that was considered in recent prior planning. The result was loss of power plants, loss of natural gas supply, felled power transmission lines, damaged gas pipelines, damage to water systems, and so on, across the board. There was a loss of more than 50 percent of generation capacity at the same moment as electric power demand surged above the predicted peak forecast.

Any tips why would you want to learn Elixir or what would you use it for?

I tried to learn it a couple of years ago. Bought a book and couldn't shake the impression that it was created to be complex and hard to reason about or maybe I am wrong and it is "easy", but has a steep learning curve?

That being said, I looked at Go around the same time and I clicked instantly. Easy to read, simple and yet powerful.

With regard to HDR for display, I tried quite a while to be able to reproduce a situation where HDR had any benefits in a real time rendering context.

The only case I could really find where it makes a difference is in slow and smooth colour gradients on which you can see the increased precision. However, that can also be basically solved by adding (rand()-0.5)/255 to all fragments before output.

The increased brightness kind of doesn't matter since SDR content is usually just stretched to fill the increased brightness range.

The most interesting thing for me was the wider colour gamut that you get with the rec2020 colour primaries. Unfortunately I couldn't really reproduce anything looking actually different, let alone better.

I was doing my lighting in the rec2020 colour space, and I was producing out-of-gamut colours for rec709, so I really was seeing colours that SDR content would be totally unable to produce. Yet somehow my eye just couldn't preceive a difference when switching back and forth between the two images.

I am using an LG OLED which are supposed to be good for HDR so the display shouldn't be the issue.

I would be keen to see some references that really quantify the difference between HDR and non-HDR rendering where the HDR version doesn't just look darker.

Having just an Elasticsearch index without also having the data in a primary store like a RDMS is an anti-pattern and not recommended by almost all experts. Whether you want to call it a “system of record”, i wont argue semantics. But the point is, its recommended hacing your data in a primary store where you can index into elasticsearch.
> The state of California is simply another entity in the market.

Well, no, it's the state government. It has powers that it absolutely can use that other market participants cannot.

> As long as they don't use illegal means to establish market position (i.e., coercion, etc.), there are no laws against them competing with private markets.

State governments, acting as sovereigns, are immune from federal antitrust (Parker immunity doctrine), and can, therefore, use what would otherwise be illegal means (including coercion) to exclude others from the market.
A consequence of one-big-server is decreased security. You become discouraged from applying patches because you must reboot. Also if one part of the system is compromised, every service is now compromised.

Well, you up the voltage and go AC, losses then become manageable. The move from 1.5KV DC to 25KV AC in Europe was about that exactly (many caveats apply, but it's basically that, a solved problem).

> If they haven't proven legitimacy and societal benefit, assuming fraud is a pretty safe bet.

This is absurd reasoning. It's like saying Apple has such large profit margins on their iPhones that they must be either cooking their books or in cahoots with someone somewhere. It's just a phone! How hard is it for a competitor to make a comparable phone?! They've had 15 years to copy them!

> I honestly can't name any investment firm with double digit returns YoY for more than a decade or two that doesn't have bodies in the closet.

It's clear you have literally zero idea what HFT actually does, yet you don't hesitate to call them frauds. HFT firms do not "invest" like traditional investment firms or hedge funds. They provide liquidity and sometimes take liquidity but only tend to hold those positions for seconds or minutes. At the end of every day, most HFT firms have zero position (some might hold some spreads or hedged positions overnight but those are generally less risky).

> why aren't large HFTs with high overheads being eaten alive as technology decentralizes access to trading?

HFT firms don't compete against each other on pure "technology", but more so on mathematical models or what you could call intelligence. Intelligence is not simply arbitraged away over time, although it does happen to some extent. My comment earlier discusses some of this [0]. Technology has little to do with their success. By the same reasoning, why hasn't Apple's margins been eaten over time?

> Fraud is the simplest answer.

The ancient Greeks thought that Zeus was the simplest answer for lightning, but clearly we know that not to be the case.

> Time will tell.

We do not need time. We already know. That you personally don't know doesn't change the fact that nothing illegal or wrong is going on.

> I’d argue that programs without state are just easier to reason about and debug

Right, isn't the fundamental trade-off between programmer efficieny and runtime efficiency?

Immutable structures are easier to reason about, but almost always run slower than their mutable counterparts.

The holy grail would be immutable structures that are equally performant, but I'm not sure that's even mathematically possible in general.

The sentence you are criticizing is, itself, a direct acknowledgement of the fact that simply "overwhelming" an adversary with technology and firepower is not sufficient for victory. The full sentence reads "Due to the United States’ ability to overwhelm almost any opponent with technology and firepower, the KPA emphasizes asymmetric warfare in conjunction with large numbers of SOF units"--much like the tactics employed by the U.S.'s adversaries in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam
This seems to be mostly a game / art project where you listen to music to gain in-game currency which you can use to manipulate digital NPCs (like Sim City but with music).

There's other ways to earn tokens though. You can submit songs, and if they get enough votes from other users, you get tokens. So I guess this is a mix of a music streaming platform, and a simulation game.

What a wild and weird concept. I'd love to see more art projects like this.

> Almost all workloads are memory bw constrained, is the problem of our era.

Well, sure; I think that sentiment applies to networking/CPU maximization too. But, much like we discovered with SSDs, there is a point of diminishing return for most people. Pretty much anything running an NVMe SSD won't experience significant storage throttling. Anyone connected to wired broadband will have roughly the same experience as everyone else on it. Since so much software is designed around nominal specifications, I don't really notice the M1's memory bandwidth in regular use. Text editing, app launching, smoothness and usability... it's all roughly the same as my throwaway $300 Thinkpad that has a nicer keyboard and no ARM contrivances.

> Optane is orders of magnitude faster than virtual memory

Not really... Intel has only claimed that Optane is 3-4 times faster than flash-based NVMe, which still puts it at >10x slower than the speeds of a trashy DDR4 2133mHz DIMM. If it's supposed to replace memory, it's both slower and more expensive. If it's intended to be a storage volume, most people would probably get better performance out of a ramfs or tempfs.
I remember the first ARM board I got back in like 2008 required some Keil IDE which was >$1k for hobbyists and only had a 30 day evaluation included in the kit. Made by a company called Luminary Micro iirc. Builtin programmer was locked to only work with that specific chip. Never seriously considered ARM for a long while after that.
alot of the exploit wallets are doxxed, e.g. they have an initial deposit into wallet from a centralized crypto exchange like coinbase or FTX that investigators can request info from. its actually pretty hard to get a "clean" wallet, and even if you have one, mixing the crypto back out to fiat is tricky as well. what's worse, all transactions are permanently on the blockchain so if they don't catch you now they can always catch you later.
I think a tool like this might be good to help clients get through a few ideation phases on their own prior to showing up to the first discussion with branding / graphics / design professionals. At least it might get them closer to understanding the impossibility of their 7 perpendicular red lines requirement.
As others have commented, this seems like a smokescreen rather than a real freeze. But as someone who wants to see every monopolistic company broken up or fail spectacularly, I think a hiring freeze at FAANGs is a great opportunity for talented people to consider growing a spine and working somewhere less big and lucrative. To people facing that choice, I would say this: The world is in a weird place right now, and you have probably in some aspect of your life realized that the status quo you have come to expect is unsustainable at best (and a death cult careening off a cliff in many cases). Being able to adapt and handle crises is rapidly becoming the most important skillset to have. Finding opportunities to cultivate it while still making a decent living is a lot less instability than people who aren't still sought-after technical talent have to deal with, and will likely serve you better than grasping at an illusory sense of stability.

I can absolutely say that Yale being the only opportunity for some folks makes this bigger than “going to Yale”, in fact that’s exactly what I’ve been saying this whole time. For the affirmative action kids, Yale is a big deal, for the kids AA bumps out, Yale is not nearly as big of a deal.

And yes, we’re dealing in aggregate. Trying to cite specific counterexamples to the statistics is a waste of time because the whole point is that it’s, overall, better. Nobody is arguing that it’s strictly better 100% of the time… but you knew that, and made your argument anyway.

Fundamentally, do you care that certain minorities are massively underrepresented in many aspects of prosperity or not? There’s nothing self defeating about wondering if you’re one of the many people on the Internet who don’t care. You’re acting a lot like you don’t care, so the question is valid.
Absolutely agree, I didn’t want people to fixate on this fact so I preferred focusing on the positive and not mention it, but technology alone without deciding collectively how to repurpose it (this is a huge philosophical/cultural change where we need to decide together that black Friday and going to space for fun are lame, for example) is not going to be the solution.

As you said so far we have observed it has only made the problem worse, year after year after year! And with the little margin we have left, it’s irrational to take the bet it’ll change by itself and just “improving”.

I'm not talking about a first gig, I'm talking about skills and skillsets where you aren't competing with new devs and the .js flavour of the month. Sorry to hear about your friend, but my friends in the mainframe priesthood tell me - "it's not about knowing COBOL so much as it is the CICS/JCL and other legacy stuff that keeps that COBOL alive they are really paying for". The kind of things that unless you lived it you can't possibly know because it never made it into google.
I think one of the challenges that the movement faces is that since the 1960's, there have been many disaster claims - sometimes bordering on the fantastical - and they simply don't come to pass.

Not sure why this go-around should be given more credibility.
Go doesn’t use segmented stacks anymore, but it does still have resizable stacks that start small and are technically able to grow to any size.

IIRC, they were artificially capped at 1GB a few years ago since it was decided that stacks larger than that usually indicate an obvious bug, and if infinite recursion causes a goroutine stack to consume all memory on a machine, the OOM killer would make this harder to diagnose than a reproducible panic with a backtrace.
They are talking about 1ms diff from 24h as being a lot. 4 minutes is hundreds of thousands larger difference.

There a monetary value you can attach to a human's life, as much as that seems to be taboo.

Depending on how you measure, that value is (in the US and Europe) typically in the order of 1..5 Mio USD.

So it's not outrageous to assume that losing 150m comes with a body count, even if the funds wouldn't have bee used to directly save or improve lives otherwise.
These are all subtly different problems I think, but in general most of these architectures currently assume there is a single intent.

> stop music and turn off all the lights

This is probably the easiest of the bunch because you are asking it to perform two distinct actions.

> turn off the bedroom light in 5 minutes

This is much more complex, because you are asking the application to setup some sort of workflow - after it understands what you want it to do, it then has to work out how to execute that, which will be utilising the device API's / services. This is a simple example, but there are lots of permutations of different actions here, for example you might want to say "turn off the sound system once this song finishes playing" which assumes that the assistant has the capability to then understand you want it to create a task specifically waiting for the trigger of a particular song finishing playing, and that it has the ability to setup that trigger.

> "keep the lights on” in a motion sensor system

Now this is where the orchestration gets tricky -

The assistant has to:

* Work out that the lights are being affected by a motion sensor system, which is likely outside it's own platform.

* Work out that your intent is that you want the assistant to override that.

* Understand how to connect to the platform in order to control it.

* Work out what parameter it is supposed to alter to achieve this task.

* Override the existing users settings, and presumably reinstate the settings after some portion of time.
