Try to keep in mind that the big company way of doing things isn't necessarily the best, it's often just what became institutionalised. Be prepared for rapid and unexpected changes to the work you're doing. Aim to create process only where it's needed to reduce friction, not increase it.

I did similar to you and these were the main challenges I faced.
A obsession of chasing imaginary white supremacists and seeing illusions of them in objects, trees, walls, or anything that looks, or sounds like something they don't like can only be described as a delusional paranoia, haunting in their heads rent-free.

> "Roughly twice per second, a Roku TV captures video “snapshots” in 4K resolution. These snapshots are scanned through a database of content and ads, which allows the exposure to be matched to what is airing.

There were users under the impression that Roku was unaware of the content it was displaying? Like 4K snapshot or not, if I know a user is watching an NFL stream, I know that ad played.

I'll agree motorists are more careful than cyclists. Some cyclists will pass you at 20km/h and 5cm distance, motorists will keep much more distance than that.

But they have more speed and more weight too, and their greater distance doesn't compensate, so if you look at who kills you with their carelessness, the answer is plain: Motorists.

Cyclists are careless and give you a bruise or a fractured wrist.

First and foremost: an employee has a lot of dimension, from which the technical side is only one of them. Just to name the most obvious: he has to be able to communicate and work in a team.

Intelligence is the capacity to survive and thrive by taking actions that are likely to succeed. Artificial intelligence is defined by the ability to take actions that maximize measures of success. Artificial general intelligence is defined by the ability to operate intelligently regardless of context; ie, not merely trained in a particular context but capable of abstracting and generally succeeding in a range of contexts roughly as broad as a human.

By those reasonable and common definitions, GPT3 seems like a form of AGI. I mean, it is used for protein synthesis sequences, robotic sequences, design sequences— and it is a fabulous writer in a vast range of domains.

It doesn’t need to be god to be AGI v1.

I work with it every day and I recognize my contributions to it. But it is so generally intelligent. That is, it produces successful outcomes (useful text) in a vast range of contexts.
Ask HN: What is the most efficient way to support open source?
Hello, I would like to support open source, but I also want to get my moneys worth (donate to someone who can produce the most value for it). I was thinking of putting up bounties for certain features and bug fixes, but that is time-consuming. What you might say is that I should donate to projects I'm using, but they have roadmaps with features I'm not interested in.
The fundamental flaw of this article is that React as far as I know never claimed to solve all these issues. React mainly handles state and rendering. It is also a common crticism of React. The opposite is a common crticism of Angular. Maybe the article should have been about Angular.
I discovered this publication because one of the author, David Louapre, is a quite famous science YouTuber in France. He holds a PhD in fundamental physics and works at Ubisoft now, but he keeps regularly publishing awesome science videos and blog posts. He recently made a video about this work of his [2].

This particular work started two years ago when he made a video about LYFE [1] and contacted Stuart Bartlett (the other author of the linked paper) to ask for permission to re-use some of his work, which David Louapre didn't do in the end because in the meantime he re-implemented the system himself, obtaining very cool visual results [1]. Bartlett saw what Louapre made and proposed to continue working together, and the results of their collaborative work in now published in Physical Review E.

Both videos are in French, sorry, you could try using youtube's auto-translated subtitles but I'm not sure of the quality of the result:

Creating ways for people to interact and control a computer by writing but who don’t need to know about deploying to production, scaling databases, managing memory resources, etc, seems like a good division of labor.

There are two forces at work here when this division of labor disappears: 1.) increasing complexity in the tool designed for non-computer engineers and 2.) the subtleties of a class of worker who don’t want to do literal manual labor like typing in SQL.

At many firms it seems as if there is a layer of operations that is only capable of interacting with a CRUD UI, constricted either by ability or tooling.

That is, there is a pressure from management to split a firm in two: those that code and those that do not. This means that even something as simple as making updates to a CRUD interface is entwined with the the rest of the engineering practices.

Case in point: computer engineers writing SQL at the behest of some other entity at a firm who is not capable or allowed or even encouraged to learn or understand SQL.

No. Firefox is adding Manifest 3 support, and people naturally have questions about whether they'll follow Chrome's lead in killing the blocking API.

No, relatime applies to how often atime is updated, while lazytime controls how often all three file timestamps (atime, mtime and ctime) are written out to disk. They are orthogonal: you can have strictatime+lazytime to have accurate atime tracking that generates no disk IO on reads. The downside is, of course, if your system crashes, the non-persisted atimes will be unreliable.

Yes, there's the NSEvent ecosystem.

Cocoa also lets you two-way bind a state object with the view as long as the state object (whether it's a controller or a model or a view model) implements key-value coding; notably, the blessed data framework (Core Data) is KVC-compliant, so apps that use Core Data sort of get all this for free. Core Data also has fairly good support for undo/redo. That being said, Core Data is a fairly idiosyncratic relational data layer. It's sort of a double-edged sword: it's easy to do 90% of what you want, and the last 10% will involve some deep dives into Apple's documentation. But it's been a long time since I've written an app on OS X -- someone will have to correct my errors.

I've long thought that the inverse of what the OP suggests, bringing reactive UI programming techniques to Cocoa, would be much more interesting. Making native apps just as easy and as fun to build as web apps would be great! ReactiveCocoa/ReactiveSwift are promising, but the underlying, mutation-heavy Apple APIs still peek through. SwiftUI also seems promising, but still relatively immature to the, gosh, decades-old OS X platform.
Oil is a fungible commodity.

Selling it to a different country at the same price would just mean China becomes the next buyer and gets it from the next source at whatever the next price is. And because the other country didn't buy it that price would be cheaper.

The whole point is to lower prices, and prices are set globally.

Embargoes and import bans cause recessions too, and they are precisely what the SPR was meant to address. The US needs a multi-tier solution, short medium and long term. Recession only is a medium-term solution and not even the best. SPR is supposed to be the bridge to get you there and save you from worse. Perhaps a better solution would be a reserve of mothballed energy projects and equipment that can be spun up on 6 months notice or a year, not that in this political environment it would have helped.

Ficciones is amongst the most impressive collection of short stories I have ever read, especially the first part which in isolation might actually be the best because everything in it is genuinely good. Nearly all the stories it contains could be the highlight of another collection and even the one I find the weakest, "The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim", is still very enjoyable.

It's amusing. I was checking on Wikipedia to see the exact title of the stories I wanted to highlight and I realised they all have articles and nearly all of them have an "Influence" section, a fact I'm not surprised about.
If you need vital goods to run your day to day operations, you'll be willing to overpay off it means you don't have to shut everything down even more than you've had to do so already. Your net benefit as China might outweigh the cost, even if you must buy anyways. The alternative is shutting down the economy more than has already occurred.

Amazon Redshift Research Project : AQUA (white paper, pdf)
AQUA is a solution to the problem that min-max culling (aka the Zone Map) is wholly ineffective when searching for strings with wildcard patterns, forcing full column scans, and as such all scan steps and only all scan steps which use the LIKE and/or SIMILAR TO operators are routed to AQUA, as these are the two operators offering search in strings with wildcards. AQUA is implemented as a multi-node distributed set of independent data processors, separate from RMS and from Redshift, and as such the basic design is the same as Redshift Spectrum, with each processor scanning a portion of the data in a table and returning results to the Redshift cluster, and appears to implement most if not all of the SQL functionality possible with this design, which is to say, that functionality which can be performed by examining a single row at a time in a single table, and by maintaining aggregate information from those rows; so there exists functionality which AQUA cannot implement, such as distinct. When AQUA is presented with a scan step with work AQUA cannot perform, necessarily some, most or all of the rows in the table must be returned to the Redshift cluster, such that that work can there be performed. As such, queries must be written correctly for AQUA, just as with Spectrum. AWS do not provide the information to do this, and so guesswork and experimentation must be used. When a scan step is routed to AQUA, AQUA downloads to itself, not to the Redshift cluster local SSD cache, the table being scanned from RMS. With the 12,988 block test table, on an idle two node ra3.xlplus cluster, this took 41 seconds. After this, AQUA performs more quickly than the cluster, with the time taken with test queries used for the part of the work routed to AQUA going from about 9.4 seconds to about 1.7 seconds. It is necessary then to issue a number of LIKE or SIMILAR TO queries on a table to reclaim the large initial cost of the first query, otherwise AQUA will actually reduce performance. There are no findings about how long must pass before a table needs to be re-read by AQUA. In the course of investigating AQUA, it was discovered that RMS is a block-based store, not a table-based store; Redshift brings into local SSD cache only those blocks which are needed to service queries. With an ra3.xlplus node, bandwidth to RMS is about 160mb/second, and bandwidth to the local SSD cache is about 720mb/second.
"What root causes? It's simply bad OS programming"

How would you know ? What investigations have you made ? When my Debian has issue when booting after updating my kernel, is it because Debian releases s*** ? No. It is because my setup has a problem I need to find and fix. Stop whining and fix your issue...
Well you have to run an api gateway or nginx at the edge…

The last web app I worked on had a latency budget of 200ms. The one before that it was 400.

Cross pacific queries can take 200 of that off the top. Even transcontinental is close to 80. With query times you can at least work to improve them.

Now it’s not as simple as just locality but that’s a starting point.
Yes, but the price is set in dollars and then exchanged to RMB at the rate set on the floating market.
Critical thinking (or rather “advanced educated scepticism”) and stress management.
I agree, but I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt here that they are not just stupid or political opportunist with the country's national wealth. So I am offering a reason why they might sell it for some 'smart' reason rather than just political gains prior to mid-election.

Also you can argue that the amount of reserve to hold should always be a function of how much you are forecasting future demand, so if you know with high level of certainty future demand will crash due to a recession, it might be sensible to reduce reserve.
I doubt it. There are billions of parameters and weights all combining in non trivial ways to produce the output. I don’t think you can describe any of its workings with simple terms like “doing token substitution” even if that’s what it looks like to us when we look at the output.
This is even more important due to the fact that the amount of power in the political sphere keeps shrinking, while the power in the economic sphere keeps growing.

The amount of real power politicians truly have is laughable compared to the state of affairs even 50 or 60 years ago. If you think about it there is almost no decision of substance that can be made without deference to economic power (in the person of un-elected, in-accountable actors), i.e. the amount of power that political actors have is very small, compared to say pre-wwii times or the couple of decades afterwards. Historically this has never been the case, to this extent.
The point of the reserve is to operate military equipment during an embargo. Not to cover up for poor political choices.
It’s funny because hyphens (hyphae) are also a type of mushroom.
But the point here, I think, is that when I first submitted link A it was changed to link B, and then a commenter noted that link B took you to a login page. Then subsequently link C (which may or may not be the same as link B) works as expected.

> "Just wrapping people in shell companies doesn’t usually avoid the legal tests for whether someone is being treated as an employee or contractor AFAIK."

What does "wrapping people in shell companies" mean? As a person, you're either employed for a "shell company", in which case you've signed a contract and you get paid a salary - or you're the owner of a "shell company", in which case you get to choose how to manage the company's funds. You can also be both, simultaneously. You'll be paying taxes either way. Paying yourself a salary is a taxable event.

I'm still not sure what's illegal here?
> California suffers from a Peter Thiel curse.

This. Mr Thiel's highly hypocritical and incoherent rant on "dysfunctional societies" and "corrupt governments" is nothing more admitting that the likes of him are refusing to contribute at all back to society, let alone proportionally to what they personally benefited from it, and are thus single-handedly actively causing its deterioration.

Mr Thiel, pay your taxes, and in the process put your money where your mouth is and start contributing back to fixing problems. You're supposed to be bootstrappy and a problem-solver, aren't you? Why did any of your industrious spirit vanished once it's your time to pay back to society what you owe it? Is it easy to build a huge mansion in a gated community but too hard to work with local and state governments to chip in a fraction of that cost to invest in urban renewal programs, social programs, or even social housing?
