Twitch's original purpose was splintering off the gaming section of justin.tv (a general streaming site) onto a separate website specifically for gaming content.

They never refocused on gaming as that was the entire focus of the site's creation. During the early days any non-gaming content was strictly prohibited on Twitch.

For a while justin.tv and twitch coexisted, with justin.tv for general content such as "social streams" (equivalent to "Just Chatting" on modern day Twitch) and largely streams of copyrighted content such as tv shows (an obvious liability).

Prior to Amazon purchasing Twitch, justin.tv was shut down and a lot of the general "social" content started becoming allowable on Twitch over time.

> some questionable equity package

one might argue it's a good time to gamble on a startup.

I'm recently spared from a massive layoff, but it wouldn't have been bad if I was part of that. The severance was 4 month pay plus accelerated vesting (for that 4 months)

I paid off my house thanks to the hot stock market in past 2 years (no one's saying it out loud, but pendamic has been a boom for IT workers), and have some cash cushion to maintain the lifestyle anywhere between 2 yrs to 5 yrs (depending on how frugal I choose to be)

So a 200 base and questionable (but high reward) equity in a startup working on things I'm interested in after a 4 month paid vacation? Doesnt sound too bad.
Chess.com also has attorneys and has had to fight lawsuits over their cheating accusations before. They wouldn’t issue that statement if they couldn’t back it up.
But it seems as Hans wasn't entirely honest about his cheating and therefore chess dot com banned him a week ago.

And there's the incredible sharp increase of rating, basically from 2400 IM level in 2021 to Super GM 2700 level (live ratings) within 2 years. Yes, that is legitimately possible, other players had similar incredible gains, so it's not completely unheard of, but he is either one of the greatest improvers of all-time or something is wrong.

You forget the main reason conspiracy theories happen and get amplified: they are very convenient blankets.
Case in point: all the absurd theories about 9.11.2001 made so much noise that it smothered talk about the amazing incompetence of the state security apparatus that allowed the attacks to happen.
Many reasonable discussions about that theme can get derailed, and in the end you just don't want to talk about the whole subject...
Same with the whole UFO theme: so many inane things drown out information about stealth tech research programs.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to respond. I really do appreciate the advice.

I honestly have no clue what to write for a cover letter. Everything that I write just ends up sounding fake / makes it obvious that I just want a job for money's sake (which for me, at the end of the day, is what it comes down to).

I actually received the opposite advice from some others I asked, where they said to just use the shotgun approach and send as many applications as I can. I'm struggling to understand what order of magnitude of openings to apply to, should it be tens? hundreds?

Thanks again for all the help.
Government subsidy tends to attract a lot of malinvestment in order to get those dollars. For example, in Biden's bill, there's a subsidy for so-called "smart" glass that darkens when an electric current is applied. This is supposed to reduce solar input from windows by 20%.

Of course, if this mattered, people would have already installed window blinds, which are cheap and easy. External eyebrows and eaves also work. "Smart" glass is an expensive solution, it's been around for 25 years, and nobody wants it.
Average Russian is a simple guy. When he sees SS emblem who were known to kill his relatives 80 years ago, he does not give a benefit of doubt. He just recognises fascists and acts accordingly.

I understand that, but why is using copyrighted images to train a model be any more illegal than studying copyrighted paintings in art school? Copyright doesn't prevent consumption or interpretation, simply reproduction.
Yes! This isn't the middle ages anymore. To accuse someone, you'd imagine that they would actually lie up evidence that he is cheating. This seems like a weird witch hunt.
> do 'weekends' matter as much?

I guess I would be fine if I was trading those 4 hours of freetime I normally would get on Saturday for 4 hours on a weekday. But that doesn't seem to be what's being suggested.

Also, given the nature of how our days are organized in society, there tend to be events that happen on the weekends that do not happen on week days to accommodate people's work schedules - concerts in the park, community events, social events, etc. so moving some of your work to the weekends will mean you could miss out on those.

> You could imagine a GPL-like license being really good for the community/ecosystem: "If you train on this content, you have to release the model."

The issue with that is that it is perfectly legal to ignore the license, if you use the copyrighted work in a transformative way.

Yah, but think of Napster getting eventually usurped by Spotify. The danger is that it's legally no longer possible to update the models (which are very expensive to train), and we end up with only Disney with the copyright horde large enough to train decent models, let alone good ones...
I disagree. I think it makes a big difference.

https://sqlite.org/np1queryprob.html#the_need_for_over_200_s... talks about this in the context of Fossil, which uses hundreds of queries per page and loads extremely fast.

It turns out the N+1 thing really is only an anti-pattern if you're dealing with significant overhead per query. If you don't need to worry about that you can write code that's much easier to write and maintain just by putting a few SQL queries in a loop!

Related: the N+1 problem is notorious in GraphQL world as one of the reasons building a high performance GraphQL API is really difficult.

They started building in 2011/2012 and then had their first limited preview release in Dec 2015.

How many other companies today are building for years before their first preview launch?

Especially as prevailing wisdom has turned to launch quickly and iterate instead of crafting, iterating, and refining a product first.

I remember after market versions of this in the 90s. To start the car, you had to blow. No communication and nothing more complicated than it. It seems crazy to me that we still haven't required this. We also should have lowered the legal blood alcohol limit ages ago!

I also think we should require governors to limit acceleration and top speed. Since cars have had GPS for 15+ years, this could be dynamic, so no doing 55mph down at 20mph residential street!

I suppose, by the time we actually implement this, it'll be moot, as we are getting closer and closer to automated cars.
>Kasparov did win the overall match 4-2, but he lost a couple of games, which was pretty astonishing at the time.

I think this might be slightly wrong. The original battle was lost by deep blue but the "real" deep blue- kasparov match, the well publicized one in 1997, in which Kasparov accused IBM of having humans behind it was lost by kasparov.

The last game was the shortest ever game in which Kasparov had ever lost. I think it lasted around 19 moves.

What's ironic is that in the current St Louis match the organizers were checking if Kasparov had a computer to assist him and in the deep blue match the organizers were checking if Deep Blue had a human to assist it.

> “My main message has not changed since Jackson Hole,” Powell said in his post-meeting news conference, referring to his policy speech at the Fed’s annual symposium in August. “The FOMC is strongly resolved to bring inflation down to 2%, and we will keep at it until the job is done.”

That earlier speech was far more direct and succinct than usual. Market participants should have gotten the same message then as they are now. The Fed intents to break inflation, with all the likely consequences that brings.

Whether the Fed actually has the technical tools to do this is another question. Most of what it does is mass psychology - trying to convince the markets of its resolve one way or another. Bank reserves haven't mattered for years as money, but that's pretty much the only lever the Fed holds. It holds another - margin stock trading requirements, but that path has all but been forsaken. Treasuries are the fuel for the financial system. But to the US Treasury, they're just a mechanism to fund the deficit. The contrast has led to some things that are hard to explain otherwise, and more things like this will no doubt arise in the future.

No it isn't. As someone else said upthread, you can pay people directly in ETH. The potential labor pool will be smaller than if you're paying USD, but it still exists.
I've always been fascinated by deterministic pilot wave theory and wish it was more talked about! I have no foundation in it but dismissals always seemed premature about hidden variables and Bell's Inequality.

From this article, about John Bell himself:

> Born and de Broglie very quickly abandoned the pilot-wave approach and became enthusiastic supporters of the rapidly developing consensus in favor of the Copenhagen interpretation. David Bohm (1952) rediscovered de Broglie’s pilot-wave theory in 1952. He was the first person to genuinely understand its significance and implications. John Bell became its principal proponent during the sixties, seventies and eighties.

> Bell did not establish the impossibility of a deterministic reformulation of quantum theory, nor did he ever claim to have done so. On the contrary, until his untimely death in 1990, Bell was the prime proponent, and for much of this period almost the sole proponent, of the very theory, Bohmian mechanics, that he supposedly demolished.

But I'm know physicist. Just enthused.
Given that law enforcement has made similar claims about technology use in the past that turned out to be false, I have no faith in this claim.

What logic is this? If you commit one crime, now forever you must prove your innocence? That's dumb.

It is very obvious that e6 in the game with Levon was a huge blunder. It is not remarkable that a super GM found this.

If any other 2700 found this, would you take it as evidence they were cheating?

> Levon who is currently in 8th place isn't doing that badly.

The point is he admits he was doing poorly. And Hans is in 7th, so clearly having a better tournament.

> Carlsen whose only loss is hans and he either drew or crushed everyone else...

You know Hans didn't "win" that game, right? Carlsen resigned during the first move.

Incrementing Vectors (2019)
An undercurrent here is how FIDE, steeped and mired in tradition, shepherds the sport alongside technological disruption, both in how the game is played and how it is enjoyed.

Magnus Carlsen would not be the first world champion to go to war with FIDE, and it’s surprising how recent stories don’t mention the surprising withdrawal-but-not-retirement of Carlsen from championship play here. Put together with the other puzzle pieces, ot feels like Magnus is trying to play a game that’s not on the board.

The last candidates tournaments and championship matches have IMHO been boring, over-prepared, extremely risk-averse, uninspiring stuff, and it’s not fun to watch Carlsen/Caruana/Nepo loaded like Atlas or Sysiphus. More enjoyable things happen in looser formats. So some disruption sounds good to me.

I worked at a place that had about 20 employees and I think had about $10 M in funding that had been in "Stealth Mode" for a few years and found that rumors had been circulating about it up and down the west coast. People had no idea about what they did but they were very interested in finding out.

I'd also say that Figma is a high complexity product that would take a lot of time to get right. It's not impossible a small team could beat the odds, but it's not something that a hacker can knock out in six months with that level of refinement.
If public opinion didn't deteriorate till now (since people in russia generally grok what has been actually happening, lets not dumb whole population down to brainless incompetents), official war won't make a dent big enough to concern Putin. Those willing to protest largely already left the country or are in jail/worse. You can't apply democratic thinking to place like russia, you will fail tremendously in understanding and predicting anything.

I agree with dilution of skills, with modern equipment number of troops alone mean almost nothing, high motivation and morale can be easily 10x multiplier etc...

But equipment left in Ukraine - that's often part of that low morale. There are countless videos of russian soldiers ignoring their fellow soldiers lying on the ground bleeding and concerning about themselves only. Whole tank crew coming to police station to 'ask for direction', effectively giving up. Imagine US soldiers doing that anywhere... That's something that won't get fixed in 10 years even if they started in right direction now, and they aren't and won't.

These are fragilities of dictatorships, where ass kissing and corruption trumps competence every time. This is one of the cores of what russia is as a state now. I say good for us, since they will never reach even fraction of potential their numbers and equipment gives them.
That rate is only for 6 months:

"That rate is applied to the 6 months after the purchase is made. For example, if you buy an I bond on July 1, 2022, the 9.62% would be applied through December 31, 2022."

And here[1]:

"What's the interest rate on an I bond you sell today?

For the first six months you own it, the Series I bond we sell from May 2022 through October 2022 earns interest at an annual rate of 9.62 percent. A new rate will be set every six months based on this bond's fixed rate (0.00 percent) and on inflation."

I'm not sure what the next return is - either way given the current mark that's excellent, just important to know that there is a definite time limit on that interest rate.
