A higher ratio of 'progress towards definitive answer' per dollar spend.
Perhaps with a smidge of, making people more likely to participate.

Better ways to collect data has two routes for improvement. The boring one is automation. Just chuck smart watches on the subjects and have those track data on a hourly basis rather than monthly doctor visits.

The exciting but scary one is standardized health records keeping that allows tracking outcomes. That also requires a process for analyzing that data on a national scale whilst preserving privacy. The crypto to do that exists, but getting trust will be difficult. There could be other ways of doing analysis without hurting privacy too much. This system could then be used whenever 'real-world-data' is appropriate. Importantly, it could also be used to track data from the randomized medical trials!

> [...] in addition to several respected thinkers who have explicitly shared their probability of believe with regards to living in a simulation (ex. Elon Musk >99.9999999%, Nick Bostrom 20-50%, Neil deGrasse Tyson 50%, Hans Moravec “almost certainly”, David Kipping <50%)

These "respected thinkers" would do well to go back to the roots of philosophy, which is wonder and uncertainty. The sheer amount of arrogance necessary to attach a number, or even just a range of numbers, to an idea so all-encompassing and beyond any human experience is mind-boggling.

You don't know, folks. Not even enough to form a reasonable "belief" about the subject. You don't know, at all. Why is it so difficult to just admit that to yourselves and others?
> Engineering manager, product manager and project manager

What kind of Agile are following that has these roles defined?
If that's possible, then presumably it would be possible to "see the future", too. Simulate our current universe, and fast forward to the present day, where you have to make an important decision. Modify variables in the simulation so that you make different decisions in the simulation, and then watch the results. Then you can decide in real life based on the outcome you want, that you observed in the simulation.

The accuracy of the simulation's predictive power of course depends on whether or not you are simulating the universe exactly. But I do wonder if there are some simplifications you can make. Say, you only simulate our solar system down to the quantum level, but simulate the light from outside our solar system based on past observation, at a macro scale.

Of course, the accuracy may also depend on whether or not "God plays dice with the universe"; if quantum effects are truly random, and can affect things that happen at a macro scale, then this future-viewing might not really work.

Why just the super rich? Eventually this sort of technology might be commonplace and cheap.
Incredible.

To call all those "Less Liquid" tokens not "Illiquid" is a mastery in self-delusion.

$2.1B SRM
$981M SOL

and then all the shitcoins built on those "technologies" where the tokens are their "shares" in those investments.

But to call those tokens valuable assumes there's value in MAPS/OXY etc.

But MAPS has a total market cap of $3.9m today - the forced liquidations in these positions will 100% crush these coins. Even SOL and SRC. Hell - other than their Robinhood position and the fiat and fiat-tokens, there's almost nothing of real value once these liquidations happen.

My guess is less than $700m recoverable, so if you get an offer for >$0.10/dollar on your deposits from a vulture bankruptcy fund, I'd take it.

This matches what the author says no? He argues that clinical trials (i.e. deciding whether to approve a drug) should always be randomized. At the same time he believes there is lots of potential for real-world-data in other steps. Pre-trial simulation, post approval outcome tracking, automated drug-interaction analysis, etc.

The data analysis is incredibly valuable, even if not suited for drug approval decisions.
It looks like they meant 3D printing in many places, but still 3D technology as a term to describe modeling and scanning is reasonable. As for what technology isn't 3D, a lot of technology doesn't really have anything more to do with 3D than any other number of dimensions like math, writing, or practically all software.
Crypto currencies != a way to get wealthy fast.

It's an alternative system that helps people store value.

>>take away retail and these coins will have much much less demand

I was talking about people who don't do due diligence and get caught in scams. Are you implying that retails is somehow the only ones that get duped by scammers like Sam Bankman-Fried ? There's plenty of people in retail who have done better than some so called institutions both in the crypto currency markets and the stock market.

Plenty of people in the crypto currency space were not so quick to trust that conman Sam Bankman-Fried. Many were even warning about him.

p.s Not everyone wants to take part in crypto currency markets to get rich fast. There's plenty of legit reasons for people to be in these markets. Its the get rich quick crowd, the scammers like Sam Bankman-Fried and the folk sitting in the sidelines critiquing it without offering a better valid alternative who are actually the problem.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't search for bootstrapped but rather sustainable. Plenty of companies that raised a seed and become profitable. Just that the current situation of the company would be a reveal during the interview where you should ask whether the company is profitable or what is the runrate and plans for the next round. Nonetheless, here is one resource:
- https://peoplefirstjobs.com/

I was thinking about creating something similar for ages, regardless of profitability or money. There are so many great companies out there.
It depends too much on the details to give a definitive answer.

Assuming the "typical" company made up mostly of people who've been there for more than a year, and where commuting is easy, maybe every 3 months is enough. New teams (even within such a company) should aim to meet weekly while they're in the forming stage. Small companies made up of very experienced ICs perhaps never need to meet at all.

I guess the best way of working it out is to ask people, and review what works.

There's nothing wrong with self-modifying code as a compiler-implemented optimization technique. At the end of the day it's just a more powerful variant of goto; you're just directly editing the continuation of a running program.

I always assumed that this was somewhat natural, but it may just be my upbringing. I grew up in a warm country without air conditioning, so open windows were the only way. Then moved to a cold country and noticed the sensation. I put 1-1 together.

Because they lean on their axioms in such ways that leads them to put faith in them to answer harder questions.

It's the same basis that most technically minded people have that leads them to reject the idea that God exists. They put their faith in reason and technology.

There are hints of tracking too many data points, and perhaps too much manual tracking. Also the story that, for very profitable drugs the approach is about speed of trials rather than cost. If that is pervasive then it might become standard. Heck, if that is where the money is, that is where carreers will gravitate to.

The problem with QPSK in particular is a loss of phase lock in marginal conditions, or with interference.

It would require higher complexity, with no improvement for marginal signals.

One possible improvement would be "Synchronous AM" (eg 1/2 of a QAM signal) but that will also lose phase lock in weak signal conditions, eg when it is most needed.
Maybe stress related?

Certainly, don’t mean to imply they are (legal distinctions aside). A person can create an algorithm (or use an algorithm) and create new things, even works of art.
> Just as chess players today enjoy the game even though computers have surpassed our chess abilities.

The "product" that chess players produce is not replaceable by ML systems. The game itself, the "fight" of two minds (or one mind against the machine, in the past) is the "product". Watching two chess AIs play against each other can't replace that.

For artists, the product is their output, the art itself. An approximation of that art can also be produced by a ML system now, making artists an unnecessary cost factor[1] for e.g. simple illustrations.

They are not comparable, IMO. Chess players are not replaced by ML systems, artists will be.

> it's unavoidable.

It really isn't. Of course it would be possible to just outlaw the use of things like "the pile", which includes gigabytes of random texts with unknown copyright status. The same goes for any training set that uses images scraped of the web, ignoring any copyright.

Yes, people would still do it, but it would have the same status that piracy has. You can't build a US multi-billion dollar company on piracy (for long), and you wouldn't be able to do so with ML systems that were trained on random stuff from the internet.

I don't think this, in such broad strokes, would be a good thing, to be clear. Such datasets are great for research! But I have a really hard time understanding this defeatism that there is "nothing we can do".

Fair enough. The company I work for now doesn't do the leetcode style questions in interviews either, which I like. But... one of the most talented developers I know, this self taught FE engineer who is fast, builds sensible abstractions, and is simultaneously concerned with pixel level detail and building a framework that automates things for everyone didn't study the leetcode stuff either, he doesn't find it relevant because he is already good. I agree, but the thing is, you're just giving some box checker a reason to put a red X in your box if you don't know this stuff. It's silly, it's not that hard to learn, and we all know we're going to be asked it at some point. Not learning it kinda says something too. That talented engineer has been rejected by places I know needed his skills, for that reason.

I don't want to wax on about why we need DS&A tests in SW interviews, I think it gets taken to a silly degree and is in no way the only marker for what makes a good engineer. I just think that, as an interviewer, if I ask a question that I'm required to ask as part of the interview loop, and I get some comments about how these questions are silly or the candidate just falls on their face and can't do it... it shows more than a lack of time spent with cracking the coding interview. It shows lack of preparation and you can extrapolate that to the rest of the candidates work. If that person thinks the prep is silly, the prep we all know we need to do for a high paying job, and they just don't do it... it doesn't say anything positive.

Luckily at the company I work at now, you have plenty of chances to prove you just didn't refresh DS&A knowledge and you can still be hired, but why have your docket show up to the panel with an extra thumbs down when passing the bar is so easy... I don't know.
Many of the missile strikes target civilian buildings and infrastructure (shopping malls, railway stations, markets) and are used to terrorise.

Most of the missile strikes have no military value, as Russia seems to withdraw from parts of Ukraine.

MtGox went bust in 2014, and it took them seven years of legal wrangling to come up with an acceptable valuation of the tokens. But MtGox was also based in a single country (Japan) and the vast majority of its funds were in a single crypto (BTC), whose value today remains far higher than it was back in 2014 ($300 or so), which is a big incentive for everybody to come to an agreement fast. FTX will be exponentially more complex on all counts: more jurisdictions, more tokens and almost certainly severely marked down valuations.

It's not a matter of blame. In this situation, everyone contributing to the war effort is a target. Israeli covert operations have repeatedly conducted targeted killings against key civilian employees in the Iranian defense industry. Nothing personal, just degrading an adversary's capabilities.

My mental model of the blockchain industry is akin to FTXs balance sheet.

I see an endless string of branded code servicing similar technologies, but where are the customer inputs putting in the billions needed to support the industry? Is blockchain liquidating crypto valuations into developer salaries with a VC subsidy?

Unable to open the archived link, any alternative sources for the actual document?
I'd suggest reading up on this a bit more before passing judgment. Certainly some of these people are full of hot air, but it is actually reasonable to put ballpark numbers on the probability.

There's currently one big unknown around this: is it even possible to simulate reality to the fidelity that we seem to observe around ourselves? If the answer is yes, then the probability that our reality is simulated does actually approach near-certainty, as we then have to assume that there are "real" societies out there that have achieved this ability, and would then simulate some number of realities, possibly many. And if it's possible for the "real" societies to simulate, then it follows that it's possible for the simulations to create their own simulations, and so on and so forth, recursively. So it would then be reasonable to expect that the vast majority of realities are simulated, and thus reasonable to expect with high probability that our reality is a simulated one, because there's no reason to assume that our reality is exceedingly unusual, that is, "real".

> You don't know, at all. Why is it so difficult to just admit that to yourselves and others?

Attempting to assign probability to something is an admission that we don't know. I think you might want to step back from your emotional reaction to this, and perhaps consider that it's not arrogance that drives this sort of thinking (at least not universally), but curiosity, and (some?) people's natural desire to consider the different possibilities, and attempt to assign some sort of weight to them.

Would you say that it's also pointless to try to estimate the probability that there is intelligent life on other planets? Certainly there are very many unknowns there, but as our knowledge of the universe increases, some of those unknowns get a little less fuzzy. Eventually most of those unknowns may end up becoming known. I think it's silly to require us to wait for some arbitrary knowledge point before we make guesses and slowly refine those guesses over time.

I may be repeating myself here, but I stopped indulging in simulation theory once I realized one simple concept:

Simulation theory is deism for techies.

Thousands of years ago the Greeks looked to the sky and used their modern tech to explain the mechanics of the heavens. Clearly it was Helios, who drove the chariot of the Sun across the sky each day.

Simulation theory is meerly us techies applying our latest technological concepts to try to explain the complexity of our universe. Instead of god we have alien scientists. They are the ones who set the parameters of our existence, it is not as random as it seems. Whew, I feel so much better now.

It really bothers me that otherwise scientifically minded people are still wasting their time on this.

Disclaimer: I fell for this trap as well for a couple years. At least the experience gave me an appreciation for the draw of such thinking.
