I loved "Multiple View Geometry" by Hartley & Zisserman, but also "Computer Vision" by Rick Szelisky is pretty comprehensible and covers a lot of (pre-ML) stuff.
Fair, and a good point.

In this particular case, the two are related, because the LSBit-first bitfield allocations can spill over between bytes, giving LSByte-first endianness as well.
I agree that Staff engineer is in practice the closest thing to the old Architect title. I still think this approach is better.

If nothing else it's a shift in the responsibly of architecture. In the most rancid organizations there are silos where devs only code and architects only design. The joke of the Ivory Tower Architect is real. On the other hand as a dev II (between junior and senior) I was asked to design and implement a large scale green field distributed system that interacts with other teams. Our ladder and job titles not only allow this, but it's encouraged and sometimes expected.

That’s something I could potentially fund. No equity, just pro-bono / repay if it works out. Feel free to reach out and chat if it’s a dream you believe in.

But $250k from this might go a lot further.
Third party sellers are a cancer on the once ~good Amazon, Walmart, etc. Especially with commingling. With commingling you can't even be sure the "WD" you bought from "Amazon" is actually from Amazon's stock or a third party's fake they've sent in there.

It isn't quite "religion" as much as it is vast numbers of the poorly educated population using "religion" to support their highly conservative views. Religions, including the dominant one in Pakistan, have a component of social responsibility.

Pakistan too has a trend of decreasing birth rate with increasing economic power across the economic classes of people, even though all ascribe to the same religion.
One of my favorite streamers signed an exclusivity deal with facebook gaming. It was an awful experience. The interface was confusing (I frequently just had to manually type the url of the page I wanted to go to because there was no way to navigate from the streamer's facebook page to their actual stream, as the stream was happening!). There was no stream notification system (the streamer had a discord where they would announce streams are happening, because otherwise nobody would ever know). All of the comments on streams were with facebook profiles. I don't want to use my real name for that kind of thing.

The entire experience felt incomplete and rushed, and I'm not surprised in the slightest that Facebook is throwing in the towel.

But neither was the Mughal empire indigenous to Pakistan. It was established when Mongol armies invaded the subcontinent from the North and took over the Delhi sultanate from the ruling Lodi Dynasty, and the newly founded Mughal empire imposed its own political system to replace that of the Lodis. How was this colonization and destruction of local institutions qualitatively different from that of the British?

We absolutely can say objectively that climate change contributed to an increase in frequency and/or severity of a particular weather event. We can't say anything with certainty, but we can say it with a particular (often high) probability.
Thanks :)

We don't currently plan to expand our audience. There's still a lot of growth in the dev market we're hoping to achieve. That said, we are looking at selling our product as a SaaS for other folks (https://www.ethicalads.io/sponsorship-platform/) -- which could target any market they wanted.

We do allow our publishers to set keywords on the inbound traffic, as well as our own ML (https://ethical-ad-client.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#configur... data-ea-keywords here). The content of the site isn't send to our servers for ML -- we crawl the sites, so private content stays private.

You could run it in a sandbox, but I question the use case of highly private content having ads on it. That's going to be harder for us to verify your traffic, and look a lot like fraud, but we might be willing to give it a try. We'd keep it on the network if our advertisers see good results with it.
> How about: why is finding increasingly esoteric bugs in an interviewer-specified language a great way of hiring software engineers?

I don't know. You were saying it wasn't, so I wondered why.
You would not find an obvious and unquestionable trend towards more extreme events.

Media presentation has nothing to do with it. This is about hard science making verified predictions.

In fact if anything the predictions have erred on the side of understatement and caution, and reality has already far outstripped their optimism.

I don't understand the psychology of deniers. There's ample objective evidence of incoming climate catastrophe, but there's still the party line of "It's not really happening, and even if it is we're not sure why, and even if we are sure why it's too expensive to do anything."

Absolutely none of those are true.

I wrote that .lud-file. There are 3 known issues with it:
(1) The identity of a player's king is only updated after their own turn, not after each player's turn.
(2) It is not always possible to suicide a stack that has the proper reach, because it might overshoot the mark (my code requires it to land exactly 1 step outside the board).
(3) Suicided pieces are not removed if the resulting state has no uniquely talles stack of the current player's color.
All of these issues are fixed in a new .lud-file written by someone else. (I usually write my own, but this is the second time the same guy has come to my rescue.)

> We're at a very weird time in history, where people are more profitable as unhealthy individuals

The thing is that to wider economy and society at large, people are vastly more profitable if they are healthy. This is one of the top reasons why countries spend so much on healthcare: healthy citizens are productive citizens.

The entire problem is one of externalized costs and misaligned incentives.
I totally agree.

I ended up trying to approximate this for a time by sharing work with a shop of 3 people. We were each 3 separate companies, but we would bring in clients under one contract and then just exchange labor via internal market-like exchanges. It worked pretty well for quite a while.

But even then... while it did sort of allow one to frequently (but not always) work part time and to take a couple weeks off and just distribute work with the other guys in the shop, it didn't attenuate the feast or famine issue as much as I'd hoped. In practice, 2 out of the 3 of us did the business development, and 1 guys served as the guy we could offload work onto.

You do. I imagine people or groups curating lists of pages or sites - they decide what to put on their lists, but you decide to include them in your personal search engine or not. Or you could fork their list and edit as you see fit.
Google can make or break any online business they want to. It is what it is... We let them get there... That being said, I haven't even tried to use Bing, and it's pretty much impossible to convince me that Microsoft Edge is worth a second look after all the years of MSIE, and how Windows has been slowly devolving over time.

Well perhaps, but if you can delete a program by literally deleting the file, and update it literally by replacing it then you are onto a good thing - unix-like simplicity. Dependencies may be a problem, or not.
This thread is wild. It's shocking they'd issue consecutively numbered passports to spies. Using random numbers seems like it would have huge benefits for essentially no cost.
Sometimes I think my thoughts are just infinite particles with their Brownian motion on overdrive.

What’s fascinating to me is once my mind is “full” of thoughts, it will start to leak and those thoughts start to externalise automatically. I will pace around like mad, sometimes for hours; talk to myself while others looked askance at me; go on some overly long google binge; and if those are not appropriate, I’ll probably doodle things somewhere.

That leakiness is probably why I like writing, even though I am not good at it. It calms me a bit and reduces my thought velocity quite substantially.

This has become the norm. I am a TikTok user* and there's a lot of ads and organic posts about "innovative new products" that are exposed as dropshipped items from a warehouse in China. And you may have seen "get rich quick" gurus promoting their strategies for opening Amazon stores to resell stuff from AliExpress. I've seen quite a few AliExpress sellers advertise dropshipping ("just send a spreadsheet and we send packages with no receipt") and/or bulk order discounts (to ship the goods yourself with faster, domestic shipping).

To be fair, not all direct-from-China goods are cheap crap. I've received excellent USB cables, noise cancelling earbuds, and much more from various sellers. And the middlemen selling on Amazon are offering the convenience of easy returns, fast shipping, and excellent customer service from Amazon. Depending on the seller, [their profit margins can actually be quite thin because Amazon charges a lot for their customer service, warehouses, and return handling](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yhc6mmdJC4).

* I know TikTok is quite controversial, for good reasons like data security, lack of ethics, and algorithmic infobubbling/censorship. But I am still a fan and use it because its algorithm was the only thing that was able to string together my liked posts and begin showing content/advice about what mental health disorders I might have. That significantly sped up my diagnoses with my psychiatrist, who confirmed 2 of the 3 disorders.

Someone already mentioned the NHS website, but also the Mayo Clinic's is great [2]. We have a great one run by the Swedish state too [3].

Are you seriously equating the ability to synthetize images and video to the invention of writing? I mean, one elevated us from hunter gatherer packs to a knowledge based society. The other means that we have to trust media less than before and will make it easier for people to generate art and custom porn. It's great, but I feel such breathless exaggeration will only hurt the effort in the long term, because it is taking on crypto currency like hype.
Buying in bulk direct from manufacturers you typically get designs and then quality options. So you can essentially have the exact same product with a wide range of qualities. Things like material density, connector construction and all types of finishing touches from a variety of options. The manufacturer will have a huge assortment of stock products.

I see these kinds of titles in product teams. I’m not disputing what you claim, that architects are primarily B2B in Silicon Valley. It’s just not true anywhere else. I’ve been a coder and engineer for a really long time. Now I’m an architect after finding management not to be my thing. I code. I build products. Any organization where the developers are also the architects are just flying by the seat of their pants and again, aren’t doing anything at scale (yet?). It’s extremely important to recognize the different areas of architecture. Enterprise and Solutions architecture is primarily B2B focused. Software Architecture and Systems Architecture can be B2C focused or product focused.

I’ve worked as a software engineer at places where everyone did architecture and it always ended up in a hairball mess that some senior/principal would recommend rewriting after 2 years.
I agree. The architecture profession is radically different today than 20 years ago.

However, there is a scale where that does not work anymore. Once you plan at the scale of 20 or more teams, "working closely" is very relative.
I like that. It's a very on the nose name right now. I'm considering a flight to Anguilla to see a man about a parked domain (after the competition), if that gives any context to the brevity and nature of the name.

> Yes, but Climate Change absolutists do this /every single time/ there is a drought, or a hurricane, or a bad string of storms, a warm winter, or whatever.

What is a “climate change absolutist”? I am sure you are aware that global warming does not happen just because some people believe in it, right? And that nobody is advocating for it.

Again, there are reasons why this specific event has contributing causes that would not exist in the absence of global warming.

> you also can't turn a blind eye when politicians and media of a certain persuasion do the exact same thing in reverse.

This is a straw man. The media are perfectly able to say exactly what other people have written here (global warming => increase in magnitude and frequency of extreme events), and politicians as well. And they do, more or less. Stop trying to find flaws in specific examples to confirm your political position. You are doing in reverse what others do when they cite Breitbart or OANN as a proof that conservatives are savages that cannot be reasoned with.

Maybe you can answer a question that is nagging me.

I recently moved to the US, and ever since I keep getting messages on LinkedIn offering contract/freelance jobs.

However the hourly rate is so poor that it would pay less that my current job base pay (not counting stocks and bonuses).

In Europe the rule of thumb is that contract job should pay 2x your full time job rate. This is based on the associated overhead plus lack of benefits (e.g. you need to pay your own pension contribution).

This made me think, is anyone taking these contract jobs? I see several possibilities:

a) Contract work in the US is not attractive.

b) People reaching out in LinkedIn are the bottom of the barrel. There are better rates out there.

c) People run several contracts in parallel, or with a full time job.

Is any of these true or am I missing something?

Well, this is a direct consequence of allowing the marketplaces to "vertically integrate" with their own brands.

Imagine you poured a year of work into finding product/market fit and creating a truly great product. You put it for sale on Walmart/Amazon, and what happens next? Amazon's algorithms find you among 100s of less successful sellers, your product gets knocked off as "Amazon basics", produced at scale you cannot afford, so you end up taking all the risks, and Amazon takes all the profit.

So the only business models that not vulnerable under these rules of the game are small-time grift, semi-automated Aliexpress resellers, very niche products and huge established brands that can compete with the platform owners in terms of scale.
