It failed to detect a stationary mannequin in one specific scenario. Does this generalize? Does this mean there's a major safety problem? These would be assumptions that this test can not prove.

A comprehensive safety analysis has to also include these scenarios: https://youtu.be/hx7BXih7zx8?t=205

He's stumbled onto the symmetric polynomials from Newton. It's part of a deeply fascinating area of mathematics with an astounding number of non-trivial results.

Knowing stuff about them let's you get powers of polynomials easily, or know certain things about roots (is there a real one? What can you tell about the signs? Lots of neat identities for special kinds of matrices...)

The "coeffs from roots" stuff is pretty straightforward to prove.

"Symmetric polynomials arise naturally in the study of the relation between the roots of a polynomial in one variable and its coefficients" [1]

Assuming you have to do a lot of string processing (for NLP). Do you have any "shortcut" to do that in Swift? The API is thoughtful, but tedious to type, comparing to Python. It would be great if we have some semi-official "shortcut" libraries just for string processing (The recent RegEx literal is a welcome addition, but not enough).

Cabin overheat protection exists, but it "only" keeps the vehicle below 105, and I don't think it automatically does anything based upon the detection of passengers.
Hey everyone, first post.
About a month ago I graduated from university, and was able to land one interview and get an offer for a data engineering position.

I was thinking that this would be an easy stepping stone into the world of SWE, however upon researching it online that does not seem to be the case for most.

How hard would it be to land a SWE position if I stayed at this position for 6months - 1year?

I feel like I am going to screw up my career and make it very difficult to get into the field I want by staying here, but also balancing that with the bad look on resume for staying at a job for such a short amount of time.
>a doctor to tell you you need urgent surgery when in fact you don't?

I have had exactly that happen to me when I visited a very fancy dental clinic, replete with photos of household name celebrity clients on its lobby's wall.

After doing a fancy 3D scan of my teeth they've concluded that I urgently needed to remove a wisdom tooth that had been lying dormant in a horizontal position in my mouth or else.

That "else" hasn't happened in 10 years since my first and only visit there.
Well, the C++ iostream library is slower. A truer comparison could be to compile the same code in both.
I agree, that's why I specified the ethereum ecosystem, not just the protocol. For instance, Infura and MetaMask have already blacklisted the OFAC addresses, and those services are critical to the workflows of MANY services in the ecosystem.
A story an old coworker of mine often told was about the CEO at a previous company he had worked for. This guy was apparently pretty scummy in general, but one time he got threatened with a lawsuit for sexually propositioning his secretary.

He settled that issue with an under-the-table payout, but the first thing he did after that was to send out a stern memo to all staff warning them that "we will tolerate ABSOLUTELY NO sexual harassment at this company!"
Intel famously used to lie on their OpenGL drivers, asserting features were supported, but were actually software rendered.

Larrabe was shown at GDCE 2009 as if going to render the competition useless, then faded away.

Their GPU debugger marketing sessions used to be focused on how to optimise games for integrated GPUs.

I really don't get how they keep missing the mark versus AMD and NVidia in both GPU design and developer tooling.

it doesn't matter how much the HotSpot JVM is tailored to OOP code. CPUs and RAM are not tailored to OOP in any way.

Procedural code will always be more efficient with CPU and RAM, arrays will always be faster than Lists, being able to control datatype sizing to the byte will always outperform classes, and so on.

java is very fast, please do not misunderstand me. java is much better than it used to be, as well.

Java is not a language chosen when performance is a concern. Java is chosen when you have a giant pile of developers of various levels of skill and you want to pile a ton of rules and linters on them all so they write software in the same way.

It seems like the reason your results differ from the World Bank is that you're taking German GDP per capita figures translated into dollars according to the exchange rate at the time without adjusting for purchasing power, and then you use US consumer inflation to compare them across time.

Whereas the World Bank appears to derive its figures by applying the German inflation rate (which was lower for most of the 30-year period) to make GDP per capita comparable across time, and then translates the values into US dollars while compensating for purchasing power differences.

If you earn income in Germany but spend it in the US, the former scenario would be quite relevant, but under normal conditions I think the World Bank's calculation is more useful.

It's interesting though that the two ways to compare the value of money over time and space lead to such different results.
From my limited knowledge of how SSO works, is this possible?

1. A company Acme wants to have SSO in the tools A, B and C that it uses.

2. Another company Balloon integrates with A, B, C to use the admin API for an admin account to modify or delete users in that account

3. Acme logs in to Balloon and connects its admin account of A, B, and C to these integrations.

4. Now Acme has access to employee's accounts in A, B, C through the Balloon's dashboard to modify or delete users etc.
Review of Doom 3 BFG Source Code – id Tech 4 with merges from Rage's engine
The other perspective to add is historic: in the early days of the Macintosh Apple helped make Adobe Type 1 Fonts a printing standard and a deep OS level font standard and then Apple had a long relationship of depending on Adobe for binaries for Adobe Type Manager for core OS experiences. Adobe Type Manager had a long and interesting history, including and in particularly its huge share of OS-level, kernel breaking vulnerabilities. In OS X Apple paid Adobe to finally get the source code for ATM so they could do their own vulnerability reviews and own that code locally. Presumably at great cost.

(Aside: Microsoft got caught in the same proprietary "standards" problem having to ship Adobe Type Manager with Windows for just about the entire history of Windows and then eventually paying Adobe enough to get to the source code and fork their own version of it that they could entirely own for vulnerability scanning while maintaining backwards compatibility. Also presumably at great cost.)

It certainly seems easy to understand why Apple might have been hesitant to depend on yet another proprietary binary drop from Adobe as core OS service in iOS had they embedded Flash into iOS Safari given that expensive history already with Adobe Type Manager.

(Adobe may have indirectly killed Flash just by that history/reputation of being a bad, expensive vendor with tons of vulnerabilities and charging Apple and Microsoft an arm and a leg to fix those vulnerabilities.)

You could make a similar argument about blog authors though. And the % of people who become blog authors is much lower than the % of people who become commenters, because of the vastly different barriers to entry.

They could have tried -- and how do you know they did not?

Even if they tried, they could have still been required to turn over the data.
They had a choice - they can tell their lawyers to fight the subpoena/warrant in court. Possibly a long, expensive, and futile exercise, but it would signal whose side they're on. And to the surprise of (hopefully) nobody, they're not on our side at all.
> did a lot of people a disservice

Although really, the people who were done the disservice to should have stepped back and realized that if something can be mastered (well enough to do it professionally) by any random person in three months, it wouldn't be a valuable skill. Unless they're so arrogant they think they're just that much better than everybody else.

I'm far from a frequent user of either, but Instagram and especially WhatsApp don't seem to have suffered terribly under Facebook. Instagram has obviously changed, but it would have changed as an independent app too. What's particularly "Facebooky" about its evolution?

WhatsApp feels exactly the same to me. Do I just have a short memory?
>Accident rate per million miles of driving.

Are all driving miles equivalent? Do you think accidents that occur with FSD enabled are the same as where they most often occur under normal human control? What proportion of miles are driven in sunny US states?
I think language is required for communicative sentience, but not for consciousness - I mean, bees are obviously conscious. Sense of self, doubtful - but certainly present in other higher order vertebrates.

Unconscious intelligence is vastly underrated. I learned to use mine, early on. Consciously, I’m kinda average cognitionwise - but I figured out many years ago that if I just go with the first answer that tumbles into my head from seemingly nowhere, it’s usually right, and the moment I start consciously thinking, it goes wrong. It’s like trying to catch yourself looking elsewhere in the mirror - you can’t ask directly, but the computer already has the answer long before your language driven abstraction layer can grind there.

Because of the "stupid X", modern XMPP supports far more than it used to, and isn't stuck in the past like email and SMS.

There is a mismatch between iMessage (Apple) and RCS (Google's flavour of the month). To the point where there is almost no sensible interoperability between the two.

All XMPP does is provide answers to "If I want to implement feature X, how should that look on the wire".

Just as the XMPP Standards Foundation annually publishes the recommended baseline feature sets for XMPP clients, it wouldn't be hard for Apple and Google to follow that or (more likely) agree on their own baseline for interoperability between the two ecosystems.

As I always say when this comes up: the wire protocol is of least concern - it's not the reason these businesses don't prioritize interoperability. No protocol engineering can magically fix that.
While interesting, I'm not sure how that will translate into practice. How easy is it to hire up an organization of Erlang developers, versus, Java developers? I suspect Java's features as compared to Erlang will be good enough, that the specific use-cases enabled by knowledgeable Erlang developers will be non-competitive in the general developer labor market, but I am open to being wrong/educated.

None. There is a difference between actually storing personal data and it being possible to forensically analyze data not eligible for protection and potentially correlate other similar data that in turn is tagged with metadata.

The second party has the obligation not the first. Ultimately all risk of exposure of personal data derives from the second party. For example if you mail in an executable to a client and put some code on github under your own real name the holder of the exe has no obligation because it is impossible for your identity to be exposed by it or indeed an infinite number of similar executables.

It is only when combined with your github profile where you willingly shared a work sample and your real info that you could possibly be exposed.
No they could have won, at the very least this would go to the SC over if they have the right to subpoena over a crime outside the state, that isn't illegal in that state.
Well, also this:

"Still, Meta has remained largely silent on how it will moderate abortion content in general. However, users recently noticed that Instagram and Facebook posts about acquiring abortion pills such as mifepristone were being systematically removed. At the same time, Meta continued to earn revenue from anti-abortion advertisements containing dangerous misinformation, Media Matters found. An investigation by the Markup discovered that Facebook was collecting data from users interacting with abortion services websites, and subequently made that information available to anti-abortion groups."
Sometimes (see my comment upthread), it can't really be helped. I had the same reaction to the Service manual when a headlight on my 350Z went out: what do you mean I have to remove the bumper to change a lightbulb? Makes no sense.

However, while it's possible to do it without removing the bumper (I go in through the wheel well), it's harder that way. The reality is that there isn't a lot of room in the first place, and headlights can last a very long time, so for an infrequent service it does make sense.
Disgusting behavior being complying with a valid warrant issued by the government?

No, that's a normal statement when there's no evidence something occurred.

"I have no evidence he murdered someone"

As opposed to

"He might have murdered someone, or not, I just don't have any evidence"

"It's possible he murdered someone I don't have any evidence though"

"I don't have any evidence he murdered someone but that doesn't mean he didn't, I'm just asking questions"

I hope things have improved in the meantime. I remember reading about wargaming from the past years as showing a very strong hand for China. From a convenient FP post:

> "In the words of U.S. Air Force Gen. John Hyten, the U.S. side “failed miserably” during a 2020 war game that reportedly involved a Chinese assault on Taiwan. (The exact scenario remains classified.)"
( https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/04/03/taiwan-china-war-game-m... )

As an American I hope something in the defense has changed in the meantime, and I would like to learn from an updated situation report. A WSJ article from today seems confidant on the USA's ability to maintain the status quo (although it would require substantial sacrifices from both the USA and Taiwan.), I don't understand why the "West" should be more confidant than from two years prior.

Yeah, blog posts take more effort than comments but they also tend to have more of a payoff for the writer. So there can be more ulterior motives at play in terms of trying to sell something or get attention.

The fact that someone has put more effort into a blog post doesn't necessarily translate into more value for me, the reader.
There is nothing special about errors, though. This same problem is present for any kind of branching operation.

Low pauses, low memory overhead, low CPU overhead. In Java world, pick one. In C/C++/Rust/Zig you can have all three at once.
Intel should realize at this point that their existential threat comes from TSMC, not AMD. AMD is one competitor, but TSMC is giving a huge boost to all of their competitors, particularly the ARM vendors who won’t just take some x86 market share but potentially destroy the entire x86 market at some point in the future.
Pretty disgusting they don't have a thing to check if they leaked my personal information, which lets not forget they screamed and stamped their feet to force me to hand over in the first place.

Yes. This goes back to the fugitive slave act days.

That said, they should have fought. They should always fight. There might be novel case law. And it sets the right precedent.

Shameful.
Our brains typically do judge based on relative change even when it doesn't make a lot of sense - I.e. we'll put more effort trying to save ~$1 on something less than $10 than trying to save $2 or $3 on something that's $100, or $10 on something that's over $1000. The former "feels" like a more significant saving - but a $1 is $1 either way. You can post-rationalise it by saying "but I buy $10 things more often than I do $1000 things", but do you really do 100 times as often?

This makes it more difficult but not impossible. The EVM has a SELFDESTRUCT opcode [1] that will send ETH at that address to a receiver and it's impossible for the receiver to refuse. A very determined actor could send Tornado ETH to a contract designed to self destruct upon receipt of the ETH and relay it to the intended receiver.

Nice! Especially your execution to create the offline database from the API. I built the WordDefiner[1] app: a lightweight, ads-free online dictionary recently using the same freeDictionary API[2].

Seconded. My working state is crucial and keeps me on track. For someone with ADD, needing to overcome the inertia of setting up all my apps just the way I left them every single day would be catastrophic for my productivity. I refuse to reboot more than once a month, and only then if an OS update requires it.

The year is $CURRENT_YEAR, needing to reboot a system should be regarded as a last resort and a relic of the past. No matter how much effort you dump into making apps remember their state when they're closed, it will always be strictly inferior to just dumping RAM to disk.
Yes, or what if you want to upgrade the connection to a websocket?
> Have a collaborative culture. This is difficult at some places.

Yeah, because that sucks for the senior engineers who are expected to spend 100% of their time mentoring junior developers, 100% of their time attending status meetings, 100% of their time closing JIRA tickets and the other 100% of their time fixing production issues.

> Since Q1’21 when Intel started reporting on its dGPU group, known as AXG or accelerated graphics, the company has lost a staggering $2.1 billion and has very little to show for it.

You know, except for a competitive desktop GPU. I'm actually impressed that it didn't take much longer and much more money to catch up with AMD and NVIDIA, given that those two were in business when 3dfx was still around.

The archetypal laundromat also does normal folks’ laundry. It just also launders money for criminals. I’m sure they would happily layer money for non-criminals but nobody does that.

> banking analog would be if the feds went after brick and mortar banks for allowing customers to deposit checks and withdraw cash

If they did that without checking anyone’s identity and then, after learning—from law enforcement no less—that criminals were using them to launder money, kept going, business as usual, hell yes they’d be shut down and arrested.
