With the work you've done on TruffleRuby? You should absolutely be able to pass a FAANG interview, you'd be more like the kind of person they were hiring 10 years tbh. I did a lot of interviewing candidates when I worked at a FAANG company and if you didn't pass then you'd be a false negative, simple as that.

It's amazing anyone is taking her LinkedIn postings seriously. Making a startup is a LOT of work. People who are famous for doing that in college are mostly also famous for dropping out because they can't do both a company and their course at once. She's claiming she did that three times whilst studying nothing more specific than political science, and then decided none of them were worth pursuing, but instead the pinnacle of ambition was low level PM at Meta? She's using the word "startup" here to trigger progressive ideologies in recruiters, not to indicate an actual serious effort to build a firm.

I suspect you and dleslie are very lucky to not have encountered these sorts of #womenintech before (the hashtag is important here). The sort of people who describe themselves that way invariably have absolutely no interest in tech, let alone in founding companies - unless they get to be a #femalecofounder, which helps unlock more VC money for the male actual founder. These people get jobs by loudly deploying feminist ideology at any possible opportunity and will typically be found on panel discussions about #womenintech complaining that men don't take them seriously enough, invariably blamed on sexism and not, say, their lack of any interest in or knowledge of tech. They certainly will not be found enthusing about a new product idea they had or banging out code at 3am.

"all anyone really has against this person is they don’t like that a conventionally attractive confident young woman with a social life and goals is doing better than they are."

Lol, no. This is HN, a lot of us here have worked for big tech firms in much better paid roles, including me. Junior PM at a company the size of modern day Meta is nothing special. The reason we criticize her video is exactly because of that experience - because we know that such firms increasingly bloated up over time with people who were there for ideological reasons and not because they contributed anything to the team. Another poster called them "plant pots" which sounds about right. They contribute either nothing (best case) or strongly negative value (worst case) and for those of us who have had to deal with them it wasn't a pleasant experience at all. If you never did, be glad!
If they could do it simpler, they would, because that would be cheaper.
Regarding the country you formerly lived in, what efforts would you say were most effective?
What makes me pessimistic is the place bureaucrats still occupy in the social hierarchy. Even today, getting a government job carries tremendous prestige, especially outside urban areas. Becoming an IAS/IPS officer is the most prestigious thing you can do as an individual.

Bureaucracy will remain obdurate as long as members of the bureaucracy are feted by society. Ideally, bureaucrats should be invisible. But in India, IAS/IPS officers make headlines regularly.

I won't get even started about the sheer amount of man hours wasted in preparing for administrative exams. Statistically, less than 0.1% of the people preparing for IAS exams will actually be selected. The remaining 99.9% waste YEARS of their lives in this futile endeavor instead of actually building and learning.

I remain bearish on India as long as the bureaucracy remains paramount.
Localhost. This frees you of all kinds of limitations. The browser becomes a true OS view port with proper security since you control what third party code (if any) is exposed to your user.

What is normally the server instead becomes the actual local application written in any language, though I choose Node and TypeScript for this. You can still have an actual remote web server (optionally plural) though, your app just proxies to them.

Performance dramatically improves because for most of the content and application code network transmission concerns are eliminated. At that point your application code either performs like a native app or your incompetence is fully exposed.

Your website gains the full expressive capabilities of your operating system plus any application running in a shell.

You can still run the site from a vanity domain with your company’s HTTP certificates. Have a subdomain that points to a loopback IP, such as https://local.I-love-my-users.com pointing to 127.0.0.1 and ::1. You will need HTTP certificates bind associate that domain to those IPs and resolves to the same revocation chain as your other HTTPS certificates for your other certificates.

I strongly you recommend you try it before you complain about running your next user facing site from localhost.

That was not really explained in the article. Maybe it's obvious to some people, but I'm sure it's not for many.
Does anyone have more details on the footage format itself? What is the codec used, bitrate? Is it all in one huge file or split. Are there perhaps full resolution stills available? (without the youtube compression) I'm interested in getting my hands on it to play with some ML models, but downloading 2TB will take ages on my connection. So knowing the details in advance would be helpful.
Some elements were better. For example potion mechanics was the best in W1. You could only make them near fire which means there was risk/reward and safe places mattered, and the system had some depth with matching secondary ingredients and managing positive and negative side effects.

W2 made alchemy useless cause potions lasted like 3 minutes and cut-scenes were included in that time (so you take a 3 minute potion, enter a 2 minute cut-scene and your potion stops working 1 minute into the boss fight). And W3 made potions less of a hassle by auto-refill but streamlined this too much - you could refill anywhere so you always had potions so resource management wasn't required. And the secondary ingredients and side effects were gone so the system is much simpler.

Also the tactical aspect of combat was ok in W1 - adjusting the fighting style and sword combination to the enemies. It just wasn't an action-RPG despite the action-RPG interface. It would be better served by turn-based combat.
Please add "CSS" to the title.
Thank you for this information. I did not know this. But my view (I may be wrong), is that AGI is too resource-intensive to be within the reach of normal computing of the ordinary user for at least 2 decades.

It's all tradeoffs. Reflex cameras are pretty standard, also the electronics have been around for a longer time now. But there is a balance in getting things to

* have all the basic and possibly premium features

* be rather compact and portable

* have the right weight

* possibly be weather/waterproof

* process images fast (including video)...

* ...don't drain battery in minutes...

* ...but also don't overheat in users' hands

* etc

The big thing for me is that Markdown is not just quick to touch-type but also is easy to read in plain text documents. I can easily infer what the formatting means when reading Markdown even without learning it.

I'd be happy with another plain text ASCII format but Mardown just happens to be the one that's been widely adopted.

Being able to keep documents in the same version control system as your code is also a useful tool IMHO. I hate it when management insists on keeping documentation in something like Confluence. If checkout an old version of the code I want a matching old version of the documentation from that time.
I am curious, what are your biggest pain points?
I can give 2 real world examples of stupid security, or where rules are made without employees truly understanding why.

First, in the UK about a decade or more ago you used to have to sign the receipt and the checkout staff would check it matched the one on your credit card. There came a time when my credit card expired, so I produced a new one from my wallet. "It's not signed" she told me. So I signed it in front of her, then she gave me the receipt to sign, which I did. She then checked to make sure both signatures matched! Even though she'd seen me sign them BOTH in front of her.

Secondly, my wife tried to take 6 items into the changing rooms but was told they have a maximum of 5. I have no idea why. I mean, theft is theft regardless of how many items, right? Anyway, she handed one item over and took 5 in, and they gave her a plastic sign saying 5 on it. The idea is if you take 5 items in then they check that you bring 5 items out with you. Anyway, when she was in there she asked me to swap items around - go and get her 2 belts, swap the jeans for a different size but bring 2, etc

So, at the end she came out of the changing rooms with 7 or 8 items. The assistant took the clothes she didn't want and put the sign back ready for the next customer. At no point was she challenged about why the number of items she had didn't match the sign, all their "security checks" were done to make sure she couldn't try on more than 5 items at a time.

I wrote to the store but naturally received no reply.
No, it is specifically markup which tries to be nice to read even unrendered. Reading HTML source code is rarely nice and that is also a form of markup language.
This is really interesting, and for me it highlights the problem of tech/business people trying to solve a social problem. In their mind everything can be solved by tweaking the software architecture or monetisation model. Nothing is proposed to change how users actually interact with each other on the platform, which (IMHO) is the main problem.
The best libraries are in Python.

> Curious that since a lot of things are popularly rewritten in Rust or Zig, why has this not happened on these types of projects?

1. It's a lot of work and you need to good hardware support. There are lots of people putting in a lot of work into PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX etc.

2. Some things have been rewritten, mostly as hobby projects.

3. Even if you rewrote most of this sutff, it would be likely be more difficult to use. Writing Rust is a completely different experience from writing Python + PyTorch/TensorFlow.

4. Zig is a thing only on HN and in similar mini-bubbles. Hardly anyone has even heard of Zig, let alone considering to rewrite anything in it.

We had company stamps and sole proprietor's stamps in Russia too but they became optional 7 years ago. It was Soviet legacy and it's surprising that India still hasn't got rid of it.
Pretty much any human activity affects the ecosystem of animals and plants. It's a matter of weighing the pro's and the cons.

You link to an article from 2010, I don't exactly know which plant you refer to but I did find that a solar plant (Ivanpah) was built around that time and this was done by taking into account the tortoise territory. They decided not to build where the tortoise territory was. There is also recent work being done by environmentalists to help guide solar panel placement in the Mojave desert. https://medium.com/wild-without-end/the-tortoise-and-the-sol...

> These are also often endangered species. The fish and wildlife survey estimates 140,000-500,000 bird deaths at wind farms per year, with most of these being birds of prey which have low birth rates and high conservation value (many endangered species).

The article you linked mentions 573k birds and 80k being birds of prey, that's 14% and not "most". It also mentions there is a need for better measuring methods, it's a bit old now so they likely have gotten better at it too. This is an area of active research so efforts to reduce birds collisions are being worked on.
I guess we will have to engineer our way out of this one ;)

Maybe we will stop making senseless virtual enviroments and actually invest in tech again that helps us.

Maybe we dont need self driving cars, but a system to share knowledge among shools.

Maybe we dont need patents anymore but a system that actually encourages novelty.

Maybe im reading to much into this, but you know, it kinda feels like end stage capitalism anyway right now...
Everyone operates at the limit of their knowledge of the world (and their available resources).

It's just that some peoples knowledge is waaay more limited than others. And all we have is some form of self-regulation - from a science Viva to a engineering degree, we have no option other than to say "we think we have a measure of all human knowledge in this subject, and so we can judge if anyone else has same knowledge"

Just look at any "building disasters" TV show where unsafe extensions were added to houses etc. At some point someone says "that meets a standard"

do we do it before the guy leaves college? Do we do it during the build using independnat inspectors ala building codes? Do we do it in court after it's all fallen over?

I am not convinced that's software regulation is correct - I prefer to see software asa form of literacy and as such I am really reluctant to reign in "speech". I think software is so open to composability that best practises can come almost for free. Security is just one of those areas where you need a good understanding of the fundamentals.
CD Projekt is outsourcing this to another company to be precise.

I wonder if they will give them their cut-scene creation technology. It was one of the best parts of The Witcher 3 - the cinematography was great and showed the emotions much better than in any CRPG I played to this day.
I wish that were true but it's just not realistic to pay every engineer those kinds of salaries. Also, there's a lot of companies that employ software engineers where they are not in the SV market so they can't afford those kinds of salaries

Not only is this probably incorrect; but even if it were the case, then:

Saudi Arabians are Arabs, and Arabs are a Semitic people, along with the Jews. Hebrew and Arabic belong to the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family, which likely originated in the Middle East/Northern Africa.

Not that language family origin is a reliable basis for race, since the Finns and Estonians speak a Finno-Ugric language, unrelated to Indo-European, while Hindi actually is Indo-European language, and most people consider Finns to be white but not Indians.

But a lot of this is from populations intermixing. Indo-Europeans went south and intermarried with the Dravidians living there, and Sanskrit won. Similar to Spanish in South/Central America. The Finns came from farther east, and intermarried with Indo-Europeans, but Finnish won.

Race is a nebulous concept, but insofar as it means a bag of genes common only in a population, Arabs in general don't share much with Europeans iirc.
It should be fast and easy, but not necessarily guaranteed. You should be able to get a decision quickly regardless of whether it's 'yes' or 'no'.
This is a fairly nuanced question so I'll try to explain some of the reasoning.

Unreal Engine is standard in so far as studios use it as a base in developing their own game, where they end up creating a fork because they need to adapt or more often replace entire systems. So in the end each studio ends up with their own non-standard fork of the engine, branched from a specific revision, and merging the latest changes from upstream will be at least a month long endevour. This is what I know from personal experience and from interviewing at about a dozen studios last year.

With this you get a slightly different version of the engine and tools at each studio, and it affects disciplines differently. For some creatives it ends up being the same at every studio because the tools they interact with remain largely unchanged, for others they end up using custom built tools at each studio. Likewise some programmers are fine just using the engine and developing systems on top, but others are not and it drives a lot of skilled people away.

So as an employee it is a double edged sword, on the one hand there's at least some standardisation where you are at least familiar with the tools and engine used in the new studio you're joining, but on the other hand you're now one in tens-of-thousands and much more of a replacable cog.

That is one of the supposed selling points of Unreal Engine to studios - that they can hire staff more easily - but if every studio uses the same engine then it's not a benefit. It also means that some skilled people won't want to join the studio, as they don't want to rewrite systems or be a code-janitor, and I've heard many people leaving studios because they switched to Unreal.

> So I wrote a script that analyzed all 600 hours of footage, and automatically re-cut it to only include shots where the camera zooms in [...] now clocks in at one nauseating hour

Maybe including a few seconds after the zoom-in would have made it easier to see what they were zooming in on, and also made it less nauseating (albeit longer)?

> Biological brains have had a few billion years to optimize.

Not just that, but it's grown on a body which has been optimized for survival during a few billion years; and that body is built on cells that have evolved to survive hostile environments, and those cells are built with self-replicating molecules, evolving from complex chemical reactions in several changing environments, that competed with and displaced other less-successful self-replicating molecules that disappeared.

Each of those layers provides a degree of adaptability and self-healing that is extremely hard to replicate. And if we managed to reverse-engineer and replicate one of those layers, it would still be missing all the layers below.

Our best hope to create fully independent agents will come from re-adapting and controlling biological entities, not from tools built from the ground up with current engineering techniques.
> Once you're done with your model, you write it in C (or whatever) for production, but that's a more traditional software engineering project.

This doesn't always need to happen IRL, most large ML systems are running TensorFlow/PyTorch (a few run C++ without the Python layer).
Same thing in Russia. All land is classified according to its use and changing intended use is a lot of paperwork.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying and how it is a refutation. The line you pulled was in fact his argument for why memory addressing is an important qualifier for his definition and bit-length of registers is insufficient in his mind. The line is from where he argues that even though the 68k is considered a 16bit machine due to how the ALU works, it can address 24bit addresses, making it closer to a "real" computer by his definition. I'd reckon he'd say (as he did :) ) that the 6502 isn't a "real" computer because it can only address 64K of memory.

I think "modern" computing is a better term than "real" computing for what he means, but it's merely presumptuous of a definition, it's nowhere as extreme as calling a table a chair. I'd suggest not letting a definition poison your mind too much as the post is interesting if you can get past the tone.

Tried using Jellyfin but it doesn't play nice with a Windows machine as the server.
I had a similar thought as whilst the technology might be similar in some ways the context, the history, the use cases and the driving principles are different. Anyone who has started a development job working on an established architecture and codebase should know that it takes months to begin to understand to a good level what's going on and why.

Opinions can be given but should not be taken as gospel over the opinions of the existing developers. But a lot of the time a new owner will take the opinions of their trusted sources (whose paycheck depends upon validating their boss' opinion) versus established experts. Good solutions come from discussion between these two opinions.
