No, it isn’t a rational theory. Because the only elaboration you have given is that you are a worried Polish person.

Putin has already given quite brazen warnings like “remember that we have nukes”. And yet he would covertly sabotage Russia’s own pipeline? What kind of a limp-wristed warning is that?

> Well, I mean, some theories are obviously more likely than others - it's more likely that Russia blew it up than that Japan blew it up, right?

Yes, a country on the other side of the planet probably had nothing to do with this. Well said! Probably not Fiji either.

Any more brilliant counters?

Alternatively there are countries that are closer to the Baltic Sea which are both not Russia and Japan… as well as countries that have geopolitical interests in that general area.
Wait for a crunch time when they need you the most and your bargaining power is at it's highest. Ask for the raise and backpay for 2 years. If they don't do it quit. But still, if they do so take your back pay and quit.
They're not exactly anti-porn, but they're anti-chargeback, and they know that sex work of all kinds has a high chargeback rate. People do things, regret it (or get caught), and insist that the charge is false and must be reversed.

They're also really, really against getting caught having anything to do with anything illegal, and there's a lot of illegal stuff associated with porn. It may be only a small percentage, but the last thing they want is to be sued or criminally charged.

So, they are very, very wary of anything to do with porn. I'm sure they'd be happy to have their cut of that very lucrative industry, but they'd rather forego it than having their entire business destroyed over it.

the objection is that large-scale weather patterns can be cyclical over a period of years or even decades (eg, north atlantic oscillation). sample vs effect size in the statistical sense is a red herring here. an oscillation will look like an increasing/decreasing trend until you have data for one or more full cycles.
No-one at Steam ever actually said that, and I highly doubt they have the legal and contractual standing to do so if they wanted.

Well, a friend of mine was invited to an on-site interview at Google once, flew a few hours there, then arrived at the reception, waited for 7 hours, then they told him they forgot about him and he can go back home.

The result will not be just "lost territory" it's hundred thousands people left in Russian bondage. And that will not be the end of it - Putin will be back for more in a year or two. There can be no peace as long as his regime is in power and as long as russians cling to a fantasy of living in an empire. I don't know how realistic is to bleed Russia, but fighting it now is only viable option, there is nothing else.
It defies description why they aren't bringing context-sensitive ads back. They didn't follow you all around the Internet, they were relevant in any given context, and you felt less need to block them out mentally.
Wow. What is the SSD capacity?

So 226TB is ~8% for this capacity, i.e., about 28.25TB per 1%, so about 2825TB expected TBW. Ignoring the fact that this is ignoring many factors contributing to the life span, it's still quite an interesting capacity.

My cheap co2 sensor shows dramatically different readings for my office with the window closed vs open. It is great at reminding me to crack my window open to get more air flow.

Its temperature sensor is within a couple degrees of my nest's remote sensor.

My Amazon vo2 sensor can tell if I turned my kitchen fan on to a sufficient level to clear out whatever I am cooking.

Lots of sensors don't need to be precise, they just need to indicate if some action needs to be taken.

e.g. If there is a fire, I just need the alarm to go off, I don't care how hot the fire is.
they've been over zealous with their hiring for many years, this was bound to happen during economic uncertainty. tack on competition from tiktok, failing metaverse, privacy and political related scandals, and there you have it: a sinking ship
My impression was that the CIA had a decades-long history of wretched incompetence before there was such a thing as a web site. Obvious high-level Soviet moles overlooked for years, known-broken codes used for "our source will die if this leaks" communications, etc.

So right now it seems like you can replace the thread pool Clojure uses for futures etc with virtual threads and go ham. You could even write an alternative go macro to replace the bits of core.async where you’re not supposed to block. Feels like Clojure could be poised to benefit the most here, and what a delight it is to have such a language on a modern runtime that still gets shiny new features!
I'd love to know what kind of patents someone developing a walkie talkie app can get. Unfortunately, despite being a software engineer for 20+ years, I have no ability to actually decipher what is actually present in patent applications.
Nah. Google execs and others keeping making the mistake that cloud gaming should target the high-end gamers. It should be the middle-ground between mobile gaming and pc/console gaming, IMO. Low barrier to entry with some AAA games.

Stadia users often joked about how it was really 'Dadia', since so much of the player base was younger dads that wanted to game with their friends from time to time but couldn't justify purchasing the required hardware. These are the users Google should have been targeting - along with less tech-inclined crowd.

The entire pandemic I had this vision of a Stadia commercial where a younger family member sends a link on the family group chat or over zoom and then next minute everyone is playing Among Us or some other casual party game together. Even grandparents and click a link to open their chrome browser.

You don't need fiber for casual games like these. You need enough internet to stream netflix - which almost everyone does.

Stadia leadership just didn't have vision.
I believe the issue is cloud gaming is succeeding for a triopoly of companies, and only them. You can not want them to succeed, but that's further entrenching their dominance. If you're fine with narrowing who can license games to just a couple of companies, then I'm afraid that's there's a very real risk of no longer owning your games at all. This is a bit of a slippery slope, but that's just my concern.

I don’t know that I’m particularly concerned about the UK causing a global economic crisis. I am aware of what’s happening with them, I’m currently vacationing in Ireland so it’s been on the news but I just don’t know that the UK will be anything to cause larger global consequence.

I was not aware of the US bond market crumbling, and having a quick read it doesn’t seem to be, it seems to be a consequence of the fed raising rates which will obviously not continue indefinitely.

To be honest it still seems like a normal recession but with a bunch of hyperbolic news headlines attached.
Even just 1% of Satoshi's stash at current prices is hundreds of millions USD. It would still be worth an attacker's time, unless you're suggesting that it would go all the way to zero immediately.
True (I made such a proposal myself a few hours ago, albeit in vaguer terms). The thing is deployment infrastructure is good enough now that we can just treat it as modular signal flows and experiment a lot without having to engineer a whole pile of custom infrastructure for each impulsive experiment.

It’s a relative indicator, so it would spike and then (relative to that spike) drop steadily as the VOCs diffuse and vent.

I disagree. It seems like if anything, it's the public of today that has let down the hackers. In all honesty though, it's probably more just, "people gonna people."
well, I have this shrink wrapped Stadia box I got from the Cyberpunk deal I procrastinated on, and never opened. Is it worthless or does the controller work on other platforms? I think it also came with a gen 2 Chromecast, but I think that's pretty obsolete now too?
> Maybe there is a private-beta approach that really iterates, initially uses off-the-shelf hardware, only launches in one state, has limited games, etc. but it’s hard to make a splash like that.

That's… kind of the problem? They have a reputation for abandoning products after making a huge splash. The only way around it is to stop looking for big splashes and start building products slowly instead. Pixel phones were notoriously only available in selected countries. Google Fibre is even more limited.

I interviewed with Meta a few months ago and all my interviewers were upbeat, enthusiastic, and excited. Meanwhile my Google and Amazon interviewers looked miserable and bored as fuck.

With Google it's actually been a pattern. Interviewed for them and passed HC three times, but each time I couldn't bring myself to work for them given how bored everyone looked.

I suppose I AM confused then. I don't mind someone asking me complex algorithmic problems as long as we're WORKING toward a solution together. To me, leetcode means, "you have 45 minutes to solve these 2 or 3 problems... I'll watch".

Algorithmic thinking is kinda what I do. So solving those problems doesn't feel like a bad proxy for how I might perform on the job.

NDIR CO2 sensors are reasonably accurate. You can look up if the device is using an NDIR sensor before you buy it. Monitors that estimate CO2 based on a VOC sensor like mentioned in the article aren't using an NDIR sensor.
But Facebook is a platform unto itself. If it was still an enjoyable product that everyone used, and connected to their local interests and groups on, they could still have great, targeted advertising I think. But people don't really seem to use it much anymore in earnest, and their targeting probably relied more on 3rd party scripts across the Internet which are being restricted.

>Other threads may be holding references to the same object

Yes, other threads may be holding references to that object, except when the current thread holds the last one, which was the first thing I said in the statement you're responding to.

But that aside, you seem to be making the assumption that threads sharing state and object graphs between each other is a given, but that's completely false. Reference counting lets you design your application such that threads don't need to interact with each other to manage their memory. So you have the option of completely deterministic behavior, if your problem is amenable to such a solution. On the other hand, tracing GC doesn't have that option. Threads affecting each other is mandatory, even when no object is reachable from two threads simultaneously.

Between reference counting and tracing GC, only one permits deterministic object destruction.

>this is much easier said than done.

You're right, it's much better when your memory management system makes it completely impossible to debug stalls. Completely impossible is definitely better than difficult.

I've tried it on 10980XE (18-core) that got between 600GFlops-1.6TFlops depending on the instruction in quad channel mode. Will try later on a 32-core Threadripper. The challenge there is to keep all cores busy during training while not repeating the same gradient computation I guess (both scheduling and memory stuff).
> "I, however, expect good engineers to help with product vision, understanding and addressing customer pain points, and amongst the senior engineers especially, be effective at communication and helping manage upwards to achieve those ends."

Not necessarily. FAANGs have an army of product/project/program managers, market researchers, and other analysts and experts to handle product vision, etc. for the engineering team. That's the big advantage of being a megacorporation: they can afford the overhead of having their employees be narrowly focused specialists.

(It's also why one sometimes see people who leave FAANGs stumble when they join a startup; they're used to having all that infrastructure supporting them and have to adjust to an environment where it isn't there.)

> I hate the idea of streaming/cloud gaming. I will never sign up for such a service. I don't want a monthly bill, I enjoy building computers. I want to have the content on my local machine thank you very much.

I totally think this is fair - and I think the market can support both models.

E.g.: I like paying for Netflix / Hulu / [insert video streaming service here], but I wouldn't hate on others who prefer buying the DVD. Same thing for Apple Music vs. people who prefer CDs / records.
I can appreciate the second point about how app stores are anti-porn, particularly in the broader discussion about how difficult it is to operate a site that hosts pornographic content, be a sex worker, etc.. Definitely worth discussing.

That said, am I crazy (ignorant, perhaps?) in thinking that it's irrelevant to Tumblr? Tumblr.com still works in all browsers, and surely (here's where that ignorance of mine might come into play) it's possible to have a very similar experience via browser as you would via app. I mean, you can use FB and Instagram on mobile browsers just fine for the most part, and Tumblr, too.
They did it. Great job everyone!
Also bitcoin doesn't need all transactions to be instant or geographically in proximity to the user. A lot of energy on the grid will get wasted when using renewable with much higher peak production vs daily median. So it should be easy to collocate a few gpus near the grid and use this free electricity to mine crypto instead.
Congrats on the launch for whats it's worth I think youre gonna make a great company.
There's some bizarre PR campaign going on to try and brand Sundar as the next Steve Jobs: lots of the photos of him looking thoughtful with steepled hands overlaid with anodyne quotes about technology or AI. It's unclear to me if he's much more than a tech billionaire by luck.

No kind of strategy is ever communicated to employees, just defensive + responsive TGIF responses. Truly bizarre.
Aphasia is not a degenerative brain disease, it's the inability to properly comprehend or produce speech due to brain damage (there are different types of aphasia, with different symptoms, linked to damage in different brain regions). You can have aphasia from a localized traumatic head injury without your general intelligence being much affected or any further deterioration. Since Bruce Willis apparently does have an unspecified degenerative brain disease, that's sadly not going to be the case for him.

I bought a couple of Figaro TGS2602 from Aliexpress and they were quite sensitive to "human gas emissions".
I built a CO2 meter around a SCD30 nondispersive infrared sensor a few years ago. (~$60) Gives readings with PPM resolution, which is good enough, since you're only going to start noticing physiological effects above 1000 PPM.

As the article mentions, there is substantial sensor self-heating. (The SCD30 uses a little incandescent bulb to produce 4.26um light, and the whole package draws 375mW during measurement) It wants to be very well ventilated, or polled very infrequently, in order to remain anywhere near ambient.
When I did the system design interview the guy told me that zuckeberg created memcached. Not sure if he meant used or invented, could have just been a language thing. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't pass.

My very first TGIF after my noogler one, I sat behind some disgruntled employee who kept yelling at the stage about how the execs were lying to us.

I thought it was fairly rude and also I thought the execs were simply using careful language. After attending a bunch more TGIFs, I finally realized that nearly every exec had a very specific way of presenting things that sort of made their work sound perfect, even if it was shit. You can see an example in "An Update On Google Reader" or "Advancing our Amazing Bet on Google Fiber", or even this one.

> They want to change that by having people switching en masse to the Metaverse but I'm really not sure this is happening.

The tech isn't even close to there yet.

Current gen VR tech demos sparks the imagination, and it's definitely great for people that want to like it... But that's not even close to good enough for mass adoption.

Their teased prototypes look like a solid upgrade, but it's still not going to be enough.

Mobile procedures just don't have enough graphics power yet and the one's we do have consume too much power. We're missing several hardware breakthrough before mass adoption becomes likely from my perspective as a VR headset owner.

It's probably gonna happen eventually, but not necessarily with current tech.

Meta might succeed if it stays on the ball and keeps pushing for centuries, but i don't think it's management will do so.
Nope. He is saying power concentration will increase further. This is also Yuval Noah Harari's thesis. You can read about how that will get achieved here.
