Nobody can tell. FAANG companies always had developers that were pushing out 3 tickets a quarter and developers pushing out 20 tickets a quarter. Some of that was due to mediocrity. Some of that was due to some projects being harder than others. Some of that was due to team structure problems. Nobody can really accurately evaluate this stuff and it was all just accepted.

The thing that has changed now is a lot more people are pushing out 3 tickets a month than before. But you can't necessarily point to who's slacking off and who's not.
Yes - the contract I had agreed to allowed for some time to elapse after being let go and I would still be able to exercise the options.

I got a payday of $27k before taxes, $18k after taxes. In my opinion, I should've negotiated $10k additional salary if not more when I got the job; it would have been a far better payout without any 4 year requirement of loyalty (I was not appropriately rewarded for said loyalty).

Welcome to Australia - its quite a shock when you travel to the US and suddenly the hotel price advertised increases with tax and resort fees and a bunch of other hidden charges.
Agreed. Tesla needed flashy new tech to attract early adopter buyers, and also to attract talented engineers. Now that EVs are somewhat accepted by mainstream, only now we see the likes of Ford coming out with the comparatively normal EV F150.

Cops generally determine the risk of a suspect by the severity of a crime. A felony crime is considered a significant crime.

But regardless, cops put cuffs on everyone they arrest. The point being that they don’t know who is going to fight you to get away. People will fight to escape over the dumbest things.

It’s not really a huge injustice to sit in cuffs for a couple minutes while cops verify wtf is going on. I’m the first to criticize the cops but this isn’t really that kind of situation.

If I reported my car stolen, I would expect the cops to have a reasonable assumption that the person they find it with could be the thief.

Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad. A lot of anecdotes about “important” historical figures or institutions that use copy by hand as a method for learning.

I would have preferred citing actual research, not an appeal to historical methods.

Given that some of the conclusions that word for word copy may be less efficient than summarized copy[1], it may be a less efficient and less effective way of learning than going through a reading and summarizing every paragraph.

A non-aggressing order (I'll use post-only limit as an example, but as you probably know there are a zillion kinds of PoL and IOC and flags and stuff that meet this criteria) strictly makes the book deeper, or narrower, or both.

A pension fund (or rather the agency execution-type firm that they'd be crazy not to employ for block trades) wants deep books and narrow spreads: if they were in the business of collecting maker rebates then they'd be market makers, which would make them terrible pension fund managers.

If their agency execution firm is able to shave a bit of slippage/friction off by leaving some passive orders in the book I suppose they might have some luck with that, but there's no way that punishing retail traders with wider spreads on the off chance that an agency execution firm has to have a socially-approved client is a net win under any definition of socially positive. Execution cost for non-advanced actors is wide spreads, shallow insides, and high fees: strict market makers improve all of that.

People who make arguments like this one are usually day traders with no business using limit orders. I'm not saying that's what you are, but that's usually where you hear it: certainly to the extent that this argument has an intellectual pedigree other than that awful Lewis book, that's it.

Nothing wrong with pointing out when that opinion is ridiculous either.
While US justice certainly can be capricious and arbitrary, it is not entirely a random lottery whose eye it falls upon. And while those who believe in the centrality of personal responsibility and try to tell you that anyone who comes into contact with the police must have done something to deserve it are clearly deluded, there are things you can do in your life, or elements of your personal background and lifestyle that, though you never really opted into them, you may benefit from (one might call them 'privileges'), which will reduce the chances that you personally will run into trouble with the law quite considerably.

Your own personal odds are rarely the same as the average odds across the whole population. For anything. That's why insurance companies can exist.
In working on a text/code generation system, similar to OpenAI gpt/codex it's a bit different in that it researches links via crawling and understands any linked images. Also different in that it has reasonable pricing and a free teir.

https://text-generator.io/blog/text-generator-now-researches...

It also does embeddings for text/images and code. The problem i suppose is general agi where you have unstructured input and unstructured output and you need to do a lot of research in the process of producing the output which one day may include training, using other web services/information retrieval etc.

Looking to expand the system to understand more and more unstructured inputs and be able to output more and more advanced outputs like images, audio, video, datasets etc.

I was using OpenAI a lot and realised it's going to be dang expensive which is why I started https://text-generator.io so more people can use it

I just grabbed an A6000 for $3500 on eBay, so you can probably get a pretty decent deal on those now. They're pricey but IMO it's a great deal if you really need the VRAM (e.g. for training LLMs).

I see your point, but I was specifically asking about searches like the border searches mentioned in the article, that's the context here.

I also agree that Castile was murdered by a cop, I just don't think it's splitting hairs to distinguish between a warrantless search and seizure vs a traffic stop where a handgun is in play. Both involve violations of rights, but different rights and in circumstances which are operationally different if that makes sense.

Yep I've skipped giving feedback on a place that was very misrepresented because I know they would probably provide bad feedback in retaliation.

There should be escrow for the feedback - its not published until both parties provide feedback or the 7 day window is passed.

It should also be impossible to search for previous feedback a user has left, rather only see their overall score.
Well I wasn't asking about the unrelated example, but rather the phrase I quoted.
Apple to Move a Part of Its Embedded Cores to RISC-V
I agree but there are many companies that make their companies all white or black or <insert country they're from>. So there needs to be a practical way to day "you're in detroit and your 10k person company is hiring only white people for 20 years straight?" because otherwise how can equal treatment of everyone be enforced? If hiring was done on an objective metric this would be an easy solution, but even if you are skilled and experienced , they can say everyone of a certain race is a bad culture fit, didn't go to the all white college which also uses similar resons for exclusion, your experience and skills are not what they want (they don't have to hire the most skilled and experienced) and at most states they don't even need to give a reason at all. This was already happening before the civil rights act and after as well against the law.

While better laws are conceivable, this is what judges are there for, to determine if the intent and effect was harming someone based on race. The gov doesn't force them to use race metrics, it just sues them if they, let's say, layoff 5k people and 4900 are all of a certain race and that happens to be 99% of people of that race. That doesn't make the company guilty, it just forces them to justify in front of a jury their reasoning (perhaps people of that race all worked in one department that was really not needes?). Their aversion to lawsuits is what drives their insanity.

If you can prove that all the applicants of a certain race did not meet an objective criteria which can be scrutinized by outside industry experts then I see no problem with excluding those people and I have never heard of the EEOC suing companies otherwise (although I would be glad to be educated on this), and you will find many companies do have entire all white or all some nationality (east or south asian in tech) departments solely based on objective metrics.

I am just saying, no law forced twilio so perhaps blame twilion in this case instead of the law/gov?
Isn't a viable horizontal scale solution to have a central allocator, that assigns a new client to a pool instance that then has a direct websocket with the client? So there's no central choke point or "websocket load balancer that all frames flow through"

That's how I've always done it for scalable deployments of my remote browser isolation service.
Would you feel cheated if you sold your options to someone who had insider information and then got rich a week later? Do you think it's unfair that they had knowledge that if you had the same public information would have helped you to make a better informed decision? Would you have faith in a market that was rigged like that?
Which will continue to be more of a commentary on the continuing decline and collapse of society, and the ability of people to seamlessly enter delusional states when given only the most superficially convincing data, than it is on the advancements of "AI" :)
More likely AI's will be replaced by people, who steadily become cheaper, and more disposable.
All of the considerations you bring up are lame substitutes for the metric that actually matters... cost.

If we had never built nuclear power plants or wind turbines or PV fields, maybe trying to get a handle on the cost by such indirect arguments could be useful. But why resort to such an unreliable methodology when we have the actual cost data? We know that nuclear is considerably more expensive than renewables, which is why nuclear is shut out of new construction in the US. Even around the world, renewables are dominating nuclear for new construction.

Copper companies are incentivized to sell as well, but they don’t get to pick the price. Once the price falls enough some copper mines go out of business.

The same thing happens with power companies and we get a net reduction in generation.

I genuinely don’t understand the issue. If you see the word “sponsored” you should assume editorial control unless there’s an explicit statement otherwise. That’s what it’s there for.
Intel is going to have consumers associate “Intel Processor” with bottom-end performance, eh? Brillo. Maybe they’ll pull a Toyota and create a new “Lexus” brand name for their not-bottom-tier products? That’s the only way I can see this not being another tragic mistake.
The border is often a lawless section of most countries - specially the US.

I just removed the extra paragraphs because I'm not sure you made it down to that one lol.
If you spread the area widely enough (ie. entirely of Metro Van) yea it was single digits, but if you looked at a narrower amount of municipalities and neighbourhoods (ie. where there were new builds, burnaby and richmond) there were places where it was high teens closer to 20% than 10%. This is why the government ended up acting.

The fact that there was significant amounts of foreign buying is not in contention. You can google Globe and Mail articles from ~2016 that cite these figures.

With the DHT series of sensors supported in this firmware we made pretty bad experiences in regards to accuracy and lifetime. It also uses a non standard protocol and not eg i2c.

I think one of the best sensors for temperature and humidity is the Sensirion SHT3x which we use successfully in our open source Air quality kit [1] and had hardly any one that failed.

Yeah, cheesemakers, smokers, curers, preservers, fermenters of all stripes, as temperatures increase, energy output declines, and energy demands increase, we'll be having to find new ways to preserve local food products for consumption other than by refrigeration.
What absolutely confounds my comprehension of marketplace sites and any online business driven by user directed discovery, is the unbroken and never deviated from practice in every industry and field of making the method and techniques used for search as unique inviolable individual apotheoses of a imaginary USP.

why on earth doesn't occur to anyone that heterogeneous search methods producing a range of results with a identifiable classifiable process or at least perceptual sensibility that users can get some understanding of, might provide not only consumer choice but profit?

The only thing that I can imagine to be happening is the overriding objectives must be econometric optimization and blow every other consideration. Or maybe it's possible with the adherent mantra of "internet speed" development that without constant investment in maintenance "development" nothing will work if left alone while bringing in alternative abilities.
I don't think that is true. There are a number of paths to convert to a employee owned coop that doesn't incur taxes for the employees.

Easiest would be to convert to some sort of new 501 non profit with employee control.

People don't have to pay taxes when they are hired at an employee owned company like winco, and students don't have to pay taxes when they join a housing coop.

I'm a bit obsessed with reverb - I probably have 20 reverb plugins for my DAW.

Spring reverb is neat - it's a weird sound and it obviously most famous for being in vintage Fender guitar amps, and also in rackmount reverb units used in reggae/dub music etc.

Something I'm very fascinated by is "convolution" reverb, using a recording of physical space ("impulse response") to make any other digital sound actually sound like it is in that space.
True, although I'm always happy to see that site posted here again, because that's how I found it, and it's incredible. I still check back there from time to time hoping for a resolution for Bill Ewasko.

The last article was off in interesting way (see the community bank commenter), this is more off.

I suppose they are written as if broadly true and without caveats, but in practice are drawn from relatively specific types of experiences that are not reflective of the whole.

In this article, I’d say most aren’t sited like this. Might appear like this, but this was not the algo. In the prior article, it’s possible a large set of small or regionals thought like that, but most megas do not, albeit with various ways of differing.

Good reads though, always well written and enjoyable. Just keep a YMMV in mind.

> Unrelated aside: why is the quality of Hacker News posts and comments on crypto so bad? I experience extreme Gell-Mann amnesia[4] almost every post I read.

It's because the posters think they are smart. With every passing day that cryptocurrencies become adopted/accepted, their smartness becomes questionable, even to themselves. For them, it is easier to double down on the flawed arguments - well over 10 years now - than accept that while they are smart in some areas, they are not in all.

I don't know of one. In my remote browser app where I stream the remote browser viewport over webRTC I just use simple-peer on the server and exchange connection info over websocket. It works well.

But then I test every xth frame to see if the peer or the socket is faster and switch to that. Websocket is often faster, but not always, so in practice I end up splitting the stream over both websocket and webrtc in real time.

When I was around 17 years old I started preparing for my exams by writing out the material I read.

Say it was very effective from retention/ memorization perspective but very inefficient in terms of how long it took.

I became dependent on this method for my preparation though. Which ...sucked I guess. Often felt like a handicap when I needed to quickly go through some material for review.
NFC Door Unlocker (2019)
> legal profession and they are constantly mailing stuff.

Yeah, including to far-flung hotels for use in depositions.

Way back in the day, we used to take advantage of this and ship huge boxes of stuff for vacations instead of checking bags. It was far cheaper and much more convenient! Pack up anything you want and add a pair of scissors and a roll of packing tape. FedEx would pick it up from your house and send it to the hotel, which would keep it for you until you arrived. Because you filled out the shipping label like the lawyers did, every big hotel in the world already knew how to deal with it. When you left, use the scissors and packing tape to put everything back in the boxes, and tell the front desk you have some boxes that need to go to the loading dock for FedEx.

Law firm discount codes were insanely good :)

Sad to hear that this is no longer a good deal :(
Not on its own. It's just that if crossing the border relies on the discretionary power of the local agents, and they find you suspicious enough to search you, and you then have additional aspects that might annoy them further such as being evasive about your electronics, then it could be a big problem for you.

Statistically you don't have to worry about this at all.

Pretty much any github/jifa/wiki/servicenow/error log/etc type chat bot integration immediately become background noise as soon as your team exceeds a size of about 4 or your user base exceeds a number you can count on your hands.

Their lack of profits from high end video cards also existed in the 2000 series. No doubt worse with the 3000 series, but this is a long term war not a short term battle.

People will pay more for EVGA, because they were the only company that respected their customers. The only company you could actually get a decent RMA from and didn't continually break the law.

But Nvidia says no, there's max cap on prices. Nvidia also competes with their partners with their founders edition series. It's a whole around win-win for Nvidia.

I can't imagine why Nvidia would let one of their most respected partners go. Unless, Nvidia plans to shove out their partners and sell direct as they did with founders edition.

Like any of this kind of advice, I think there are 2 ways of doing it: robotically and mindfully. If the latter is done, then I think it may have some use. If the former, then it's similar to the argument of listening to learning material before going to sleep - of dubious effectiveness.
