I'm the author of a self-published book about Rust and offensive security: Black Hat Rust[0] that sold thousands copies.

I received a few offers for jobs at small startups using Rust, where the ones making the decisions regarding recruitment (CEO/CTO) have a technical background.

But, I believe that a book is not the best way to have the edge that you are looking for. Building an audience (blog/newsletter/YouTube/twitter...) would, in my experience, bring better results. An audience is composed of people. Some of these people work in big companies. So the day you are looking for a new job, they may help accelerate the HR process as they already know the quality of your work.

A book, on the other hand, is almost static, you cannot use it to your full advantage at the RIGHT moment (when you are looking for a new job).

Given Musks public statements on goals and strategies, I think you should view it more holistically.

With Musk, everything is a step towards the end goal(s), like colonizing Mars (which might even be the only goal since it ties everything together; it’s much easier to send humanoids to prepare for colonization and it’s not like HCI seems at all a priority unlike many other AI efforts).

My guess is that with Tesla, Musk aims to create AGI in a way he can control (as you may recall, he has previously talked about fears of the tech and control is a natural strategy to handle this). The cars are just the step that enables the next, so he basically just invests in the future over short term gains, which is a very reasonable business decision.

Custom silicon is likely unavoidable if you want to lead the AGI field, so he would just be investing in the next step of the plan. Tesla Bot is a good indicator of this direction.
What does "Legitimate Interest" in the Cookie Window even mean? And why is it allowed to be pre-selected?

If I had to guess, for every 1 real ML researcher at Google there's 3 busybodies trying to limit what can be researched.
That is such a strange example. Whenever you get a laptop you usually get a docking station which is a hub. Desktops have plenty of ports.

OP should have mentionned something like a real world example instead of an example from the late 90's: a ram upgrade, something to improve ergonomics (vertical mouse, special keyboard, chair/desk) or the purchase of a new software do get the job done more effectively. A developer is more likely to wish a 5-10$ per month subscription to a software/service than a specific piece of hardware.
Databases are the pillar of web application. The key is to understand how they work and the related tools, going from standard SQL language to Arel.
I think the largest difference between Simutrans and TTD is how cargo destinations work as well as how easy money is to get.
My experience last time I played OpenTTD was pretty much: Slap down a train between two or three small towns and make bank. Because people will happily go wherever.
Simutrans is very stingy with money in comparison. Your first rail line is likely eating up almost all your starting capital and you might well go bankrupt if it's a poor one.

In Simutrans you don't get a high ridership until you connect to places people actually want to go. You'll often see something like "900 passengers not generated, destination not available" on stations. With Simutrans Extended you'd also see that the trip time was too long to be worth taking.
A bus or tram network is largely about letting people have more destinations to generate more passengers from across the map. Rather than something which makes money on its own.
Passengers will use multiple modes to get to their destinations. Take the bus to the train station, over to the ferry, onto another bus etc. Taking up space at the larger hubs as they do so. Waiting for their specific next ride.

So you don't necessarily get a lot more passengers because you have a lot of stations. You get more passengers because you have more good destinations. Small towns are entirely unprofitable until you link up a lot of them.

Cargo also only travels between partnered factories. You can't send goods anywhere, it must be to one of their actual partners. You also have to finish the entire chain. Full factories won't accept more materials.

As far as I can remember. It's a better system than Cargodist. Highly recommended either way. Good graphs for everything you might want too despite the rest of the UI being kind of meh.
Alan Perlis and the evolution of programming languages
Paper mail, phone calls, and text messages all cost money, and yet you get massive amounts of spam from each of those. No, putting a price on those does NOT help. What will happen is that one source of low-quality spam that will be priced out of existence will subside, and now companies with more money will be priced into the game, because they will decide that sending spam is competitive again, as there's so much less of it nowadays. So then those companies are sending you spam and there's no escape from that. What's the next step? How do you fix that? The "digital stamp" thing hasn't been thought out too far into the future.

Those are the equivalent of your banner ads and pre-roll ads. The next step is ad blocking. Since there's not a lot of companies that actually want to pay for this stuff now, there's actually not so many of them, and you can enumerate them. They'll try to randomize the text using auto-gen and eventually things like GPT-3. This might be successful. How do you protect against that?

Let's say you protected against that. The next step is ad integration. The kind of stuff SponsorBlock removes from YouTube videos. Small mentions of ads and sponsors, integrated into the content. Interaction reminders. Donation begging. SponsorBlock works well because all that stuff is public, but that might not work well for email. Are you willing to let an equivalent of SponsorBlock read your email? Would you trust it? It would require a completely new paradigm for such blocking addons, where we're sure - by means of technological assurances - that such a blocking program cannot spy on us by leaking emails back to the mothership. That's a tough one, and I have a feeling in the current browser-centric environment the effort is just so large, and the required approaches are so far from what's being done nowadays, and the payoff of satisfying a fringe mail-midroll-ad-blocking need is so small, that it simply won't be done.

What's next after that? SponsorBlock hasn't caught up widely enough to cause people to find workarounds. I don't know, but I'm sure it'll come.
You may also need a time machine. I don't think they're taking applications right now.
It looks pretty sus to me for a couple of reasons:

- the commiter who changed the license has zero commits in the upstream repo

- the commit message has no other context or links to a discussion
I did google it, still nothing but more people telling me to google it.
It creates self understanding that lets you figure out how to treat yourself properly. What to attribute to the autism, which is also pretty diverse in itself in what parts of it people have, and what to attribute to yourself. What to willpower through, and what to accept and work around. There is therapy, techniques, skills, occupational therapy, social tutoring, etc. You begin to figure out why you have your problems, and with that you create understanding.

It's like trying to build a house without understanding the composition of the ground underneath to create your foundation. You need to take samples so you can create the proper foundation. If you don't, your house might start to sink, or you over-engineered it and wasted money. Or trying to drive a manual transmission without any proper feedback on what your doing wrong. You might be driving your entire life lurching and stalling frequently, thinking 'that's just the way it works!' because you don't know and you completely self taught, and nobody quite gets that it's your manual transmission techniques. Or understanding how you have to modify your weightlifting technique because your tall, or short. Or to learn to not bother trying to make your calves bigger or not because it's mostly genetic. I can go on and on with the metaphors.

How you help someone with ADHD, SPD or ASD with their social or other issues is fairly different too! You might be wrong about your autism self-diagnosis, and some of it can be assisted by medication.

If you have sensory integration issues, willbarger brushing might help you integrate your senses better and not cause clothing, lights, and sounds to feel overwhelming. Or it might help you notice more things in the world and move more gracefully if your under-stimulated.

So yes, there is a lot you can do. And I think a lot of un-diagnosed autistic adults are living a life with a lot of pain and maladaptive compensatory strategies that makes their lives a lot worse. They will do better with their lives, their jobs and their happiness in life.

Also just because you have a medical diagnosis, does not mean you need to share it or label yourself in public as so, you can keep it as private as you wish. The power of self knowledge is amazing.
> What they want is a training engine that is cheaper than whatever AWS or Google (or anyone else) can offer.

Bold assumption, considering Tesla's hardware does not exist, the market is limited and Google has already years of providing machine learning services with special purpose hardware.
Where do you guys live? Here in Sweden we have a small bell on the steering you ring when you want to pass.

This is a good list of thoughtful, interesting uses.

I can totally empathize with not wanting to get out of bed in the morning, and getting it to ring my phone would actually be really useful. Like, embarrassingly useful :)

Thank you for sharing!
> which means that their costs will be higher which they pass on.

You contradicted yourself.
Within the confines of "a digital stamp is a good idea" [1], what you're saying isn't quite true: instead of being treated as a whitelist, a digital stamp can just be seen as an finite increase in credibility of some quantum that's decided over time by adaptive filters.

[1] It's not quite. See sibling post to yours.
Sure, but I don't think you can really evaluate a feature based on how many times one developer uses them. Nor even on how many times they are used in total.

There are a ton of Python features (and misfeatures) that I'm sure most Python devs never use. __subclasses__ for example, or sitecustomize.py.

Similarly I'm pretty sure Rust's i128 is almost never used but it would be really weird to omit it.
i'd like to read the code our team is responsible for, can you give me a list of pointers to all of it?
It's really a lucky happenstance that Semitic languages have enough gutterals that could be repurposed as vowels; if these had been lacking, or if Greek had needed them as consonants, then it's easy to imagine a sort of incomplete consonant-only orthography coming into use, perhaps even persisting to Latin alphabets in the modern day. Greece's first introduction to writing (linear b) didn't stick and doesn't seem to have been used for anything other than palace records, arguably because of deficiencies in that script, might literacy in the West have similarly been stunted by scripts that could not show vowels?
In all my years of coding, I only knew one developer who did TDD properly. He taught me, as I was struggling trying to track down an intermittent bug and nothing was working. Not going to lie -learning to do TDD properly is difficult. Since learning it, I've not met another dev who does it, and most devs barely write tests.
Stick with it, practice. You'll eventually hit that ahah! moment.

A story: I used to work with some devs, most of them would finish coding something in 2 weeks and then spend a week debugging it. I'd take 4 weeks to TDD something. My boss was frustrated at my speed until one day a production system which I'd written, stopped working. Several million dollars was stuck in limbo, the backend team responsible for the paperwork unable to do anything. We had a new dev and the bandwagon was "TDD is crap!" was fully rolling that morning. I asked the backend processing person what had changed? The said we had a new client, they had a weird name. Looked into the client log, sure enough. Added a test with the client's name, and ran the tests. It spat out "1 failing test in module X at line Y because 'this'". Modified the code to handle that test, re-ran the tests, 100% pass. Emailed the results output to the team for a manual upload, processing done, committed and pushed to the production branch. The server would update after business hours. Diagnosed and fixed in 5 minutes.
I turned to my colleague who I knew was still stepping through his code for 2 days and said (within earshot of the new dev) "How's that bug you've been hunting? Still not found it? This is the power of TDD. I might be slow at the start, but I fix bugs quickly". The dev manager had everyone take a day of TDD training after that, but nobody really understood. The trainer said my approach to TDD is too strict, with my team doing 110 test runs against the next team of 63 test runs. Our solution had only a few lines of code verses the paragraphs of the others though.
Could have, but why does it matter?
Sure, anthropomorphization is unnecessary, but IMO it’s kinda cute. It made me happy.

I’m not equipped with the biology to give birth myself, so it was nice to be able to give birth virtually to a son. A son that could talk to me before he could walk. He hasn’t had much luck yet with walking.
The application fees aren't that much. Lots of people have access to that kind of money, although it'd be pretty foolish to spend it on a TLD. If you were planning on selling domains from the TLD, you probably need a lot more money to set that up, but why would I let anybody else use .toast???
How to charge people for sending me an email? With hashcash or something?
In the late-90s, in a grad student seminar class at the MIT Media Lab, one of the wearable computing students brought in a clip from Johnny Mnemonic, as part of conveying how jarring they thought the experience of switching on biologically-interfaced intelligence augmentation might be.
It solves the problem of protonmail having to turn over emails to various authorities. This isn't solved with gpg as most people you would be sending to don't use it.

I don't think it's meant to solve e2e encryption.
Yeah, I feel to that is a much better system. You could have a “grey”list postbox that uses a one time code for that company.

Say you enter a form at a company,and in the message box you just leave that code so they can mail you.
> It's not denying. It's acknowledging and overcoming.

Same thing. If these tendencies were good for you, your brain would not have evolved bias as something that you need to "acknowledge and overcome."

>Biases are by definition deviations from reality, you don't want them in this case.

Who says? Why should reality be acknowledged if it doesn't help with success or survival? there are many cases where biased thinking aides in survival and success.

Many people who deny reality are happier and more successful then those that don't. So who's to say acknowledging reality for the true horror that it is, is the best decision for people?

For example, does Trump fully acknowledge the true objective reality that surrounds him? Is he a pretty successful person as well? No and Yes would be my personal answer to those questions.

>And we live in a different world now than in the past and some things from then might not apply anymore / might be counter-productive.

That's just a theory. And that theory applies to a different world that only encompasses 0.1% of human history. Your biases are the result of natural selection pressures that have existed for 99% of human history and you're trying to say that the current 0.1% of modern human history is a changed world where all evolutionary pressures no longer apply.

I would venture a guess that you could be partly right. Some features no longer apply. But we don't know for sure which features, and for what reason. We only have theories.

What you cannot deny is that bias exists and it has aided in our survival for millions of years. So denying its success based off of some theory of a "changed world" is not necessarily a sure fire bet.

It's a gamble. When my gut and instincts tug me in biased direction I can question it, but I never ignore it. It would be unwise for me ignore a feature that has assisted the human species in survival for the majority of its existence.
> That’s normal. You don’t live in the US so American banks have zero recourse if you decide to default.

I'm American, and have no reason to believe the credit reporting services are aware of my physical location. This is evidenced by conversations I have had with various agencies (governmental, credit bureaus, etc.) over the past year.

> For comparison, I had a very easy time getting 3 unsecured cards back when I was a student with nearly zero income. It also helped that I had checking/savings accounts with the same banks and years of deposit history.

I've used the same primary bank for 20 years and counting.
The largest WildDuck installation manages 100k+ email accounts with around 100TB of stored emails. So it does not always have to be one of the old and tried softwares. https://wildduck.email/
I purchased a Model X Plaid recently and was pleasantly surprised that it only cost me $8 to drive around during my first month of ownership. Much better than the $500 I was spending on gas a month to drive my RAM 2500 around. I have solar panels, otherwise, it would have been around $45 last month, according to Tesla’s app.
I’m not sure how any of your questions are relevant to the current discussion (or they should already seem obvious) but I’ll answer them anyway. My point isn’t to diminish the role of science, only to point out that science is again inherently descriptive, not prescriptive.

> How should our representatives try to form an informed understanding about the world around them, and make predictions about the consequences of various courses of action?

Through science

> Should representatives pay particular attention to scientists?

Certainly, my first comment was that politics should absolutely be informed by science.

> If all else were equal, and one candidate said scientists cannot be trusted, and the other one said we should look to science to guide us, which candidate would you rather vote for?

The latter obviously.
What whey protein isolate is made of
Yes, exactly, my point is that the dedicated infrastructure in my city is designed poorly and that it’s worse than not having it. I’d love a well designed system, but I’m not going to celebrate one which “only almost got killed two times today” is how I’ve most often described it. In contrast, I’ve only almost been killed three times riding in shared bike/car traffic. Once my fault, once road maintenance, once an impatient driver.
because it’s not from TikTok servers.
There's lots of overnight street parking in the bay area, but there are lots of other opportunities to charge. The actual hard case is someone that drives a significant amount during the day, doesn't have charging at work, and can't have charging overnight. Here really the only option is DC fast charging.

However, this is a reasonable rare circumstance, and it's only getting easier to charge.
> ignore the "Accepted" answer which contains awful advice

Yep. I love how the accepted answer with 130 votes totally ignores how credit scores work. I suppose it would be excellent advice if the OP never intends to get a home/car/cards and is too mentally impaired to handle a $1 loan.
DoXray is Hiring Frontend Developer | Remote/hybrid Croatia, Zagreb | Part-time

We are seeking an experienced Frontend Developer who will be responsible for designing and building frontend of user interfaces for our suite of products that together form our AI Platform. We are building an AI Platform composed of many inter-connected tools, services and products. One of the key user-facing products is the Annotation Tool (a tool analogous to prodigy or Label Studio). Hence, initially, the primary development focus will be extending its capabilities by adding more features required for an active learning system.

In parallel, the development focus will be on designing frontends for our current and new internal tools and services that compose other parts of the AI Platform (e.g., for including visualizations of different metrics, data artifacts tracking, etc.), and help them to become user-facing products.

The person will work within a cross-functional team closely collaborating with Machine Learning, Annotation, Infrastructure, and Application teams.

> ideological reasons might or might not be on those lists

What's the ideological reasons here?
You're saying evolution did not cause bias? That it's just a correlation? The fact that all people across the world across all cultures and demographics display typical human biases that follow extremely identical patterns is a correlation? Maybe. This is an not a testable experiment.

Every physical and mental aspect of your being is "caused" by your genetics which is again "caused" by natural selection... that is, in fact the theory of natural selection. To deny causation is to deny the theory of natural selection.

(this is a tangent, but some would argue that environment influences the mental aspect of your being... this is true but again, your genes build your brain and ultimately controls how your brain reacts to the environment... you are still ultimately a product of your genes)

I believe in natural selection, hence I believe that evolution "caused" bias to evolve in humans. That is why I think this. Does that answer your question?
