While memorization is involved, people make it seem like you need to memorize specific solutions to specific leetcode problems, and that's just not only false but also a bizzare and almost impossible strategy.

What you do need to memorize are a small group of algorithmic designs and have a good sense of when to apply each one. The main ones include divide and conquer, greedy, graph, and what seems to be the hardest of them all, dynamic programming algorithms.

It's disappointing that so few developers know these or are comfortable with these designs since employing them provides significant speedups to what would otherwise involve deeply nested loops or other naive brute force solutions. Becoming familiar with the broad set of algorithm designs is something most competent developers should invest some time in, and it's not like it requires years and years to become good at it but the benefits are enormous.
Do you mean that talent is required to leverage FP effectively?

Kind of like how a faster car in the hands of a less talented driver won't make them faster, but might just cause them to crash? Whereas a talented driver would pick a faster car and actually benefit from it?

Personally I think it's not so much about intelligence or talent, but passion. In think the developers who demonstrates that they've learned and tried more development techniques and styles, that shows a passion and interest towards software development, engineering and comp-sci. That passion is often key to success and long term performance.

There's probably a cutoff between talent and passion, where passion alone probably has some limits, but also where talent alone has limits as well. If you find someone with both though, that's a pretty good sign.

The question is, are talented developers drawn to FP, or is it passionate developers that are? Or those that have both?

And the other question is, can FP make someone more talented? Can it make them more passionate?
Well, if they choose Infosys as a company to implement CBDC then at least we are safe for the next 20+ years, because there's no way they complete the project before that time :)

Interesting find.
One might argue that ad-tech went too far on this one if they are tracking conversations to place the "right" ads.
Some random thoughts:
Would the ad be different for caller / recipient?
Why would an advertiser place their ad there while there are "safer" places on Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Disney, etc?
Are ad-tech business models at the end of the innovation cycle?
What's coming next?
Yeah, but there are other places that pay decently. I've got 2 decades of experience now, and get paid enough in a good place. I know where I could get paid more, but even with a family, we don't need more. I even reduced my work to 4 days a week with the 20% hit and it's still enough.

For software engineers this is often simple to achieve.
Is it going to display ads based on the conversation of the call?
What's the point of this comment other than being snarky/attempting to show off? You should reflect on it, because this would be a better place if people like you just didn't bother replying.

Maybe you don't find it valuable because your setup and mad vi skills offer you an alternative (which I'm very sure is just as feature-rich as what is described in the post, which you didn't read). Isn't it obvious how a more accessible solution might be useful to some people?

I for one welcome the efforts of the Warp team to improve terminal UX.
I agree in principle. However, if you work imperatively, you'll use _much_ more (global) state than if you worked with a pragmatic functional language like Clojure. Which in turn leads to normal people not understanding what's going on, since humans are built to keep, say, 10 things (atoms) in mind, not 100.
The neighbor bears the least responsibility by a wide margin which is why despite non-zero involvement they really shouldn't be on the same table for discussion. If I ask an entire hospital system to believe in my crazy theory for Leukemia and that leads to patients getting screwed, the discussion shouldn't have the inclination to focus on how one patient communicated their bad medical theory.
It's not usually safe to assume that current values are somehow invariant. Humans have never discovered child welfare was important, because that's not something you discover, it's something you decide.

> Animals were legally defined as property, but Bergh's watershed legislation recognized cruelty as an offense to the animal itself—irrespective of ownership.(3) Historian Susan Pearson argues that these laws helped transform American liberalism—from a classical conception of rights in the negative—to augur the rise of the modern "interventionist" liberal state. Pearson contends that this positive conception of rights drew animal protectionists into child protection in the 1870s. Bergh's chief counsel, Elbridge Gerry, founded the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in 1874 after he secured the arrest and conviction of an abusive foster mother for felonious assault. Animal protectionists across the nation subsequently instituted amalgamated "humane societies," which safeguarded animals and children under a singular protective fold, positing that helpless "beasts and babes" had a right to protection because they could suffer.

I feel that we are employed above of all to be available when it matters rather than to do a certain amount of work for the hours you are paid for. Compare it to a workshop with some tools, you buy a hammer not because you use it for 8 hours a day, but because when you need it, you can't do without it. If you go a day without needing to use the hammer, it doesn't mean that having the hammer in your shed is a waste of money.

If the company cared only about getting certain amount of work done in the time they paid for, they would hire an external. And continuing the analogy, it's usually more expensive in the long run to rent a tool even if you use it only a couple of times a month, as well as having to get used to unfamiliar equipment, having no records of how well the rental tool performed earlier.

> video or reading an article

Setting aside that people load their browsers up with ad blockers to avoid those too, they're also async experiences that have no real-time social dynamics involved with them. Video calls are interpersonal and interruptions are highly problematic.
Yes, but in the cases you mentioned the user is interacting with the same pane of glass. In this case, the user's interaction is voice, not the screen.

Also not to mention that calls are very private. And the impression it gives to consumers that their call is being used for ads or even tracking.
Note to admins: I accidentally clicked 'flag' on the parent post when I just meant to click the 'context' link beside it. I find nothing wrong with the comment, sorry about that.

So what I was going to say was: I don't need to, Elon will pay 3 months severance. Also they can click the dumb pledge button and stay on until they find another job, whatever. Or they can just not listen to me. I said please, it wasn't a command. I'm not their ward.

I just know that I've stuck it out with companies that start screwing with their employees expectations and benefits, and I really shouldn't have stuck around, I should have left the instant that started. I encourage those at Twitter to do the same. It will likely only get worse for the next few years before it gets better, if it ever does.
Its a win-win. Less bandwith costs -> cost reduction.
Higher revenue. More, more money.

Sounds like someone deserves a promotion. Just look at the right numbers for your arguments.
The captain said they use 150-200kwh a day, which would be around 2-3 EV batteries' worth (Model S has a 100kwh battery). That's split up between 88 trips, so there's plenty of opportunity to swap batteries.

So they could probably have some kind of battery system but I'm guessing since it's already "tethered" with a line just to cross, stringing an electrical cable was already easy to do and has simpler logistics than managing batteries.
I can only imagine that, like me, the HN crowd might be extremely quick to dismiss something which on the surface sure sounds like an enterprise "To-do" app, but I'm curious if things like the reliance on P2P communication between devices, mesh networks, etc., perhaps help deal with some interesting edge cases in the aviation space that I'm not terribly familiar with.
Sure, but Twitter cares about you.
I need to say, that I would probably lost my marbles if video call application would do anything like that.
See.. my mind boggles that you think it has anything todo with personal trust.

At a guess, you've been in that scenario, and it may well have been handled badly ( and i'll grant you it often is ), but you might also have taken it just a little bit personally?

It's not my current job, but I've been doing various forms of sysadmin for a long, long time.

Biggest security/outage risk in most companies I've work at?

Me. My teams.

Even after we've spent years and millions of dollars addressing those risks.

But it's not about trusting your devs, even if somehow, you think you can trust all of them, and all your future hires, every day, forever (!?!?!)

It's whether or not you trust all the software on their machine, everyday, forever. Which is just as ridiculous a statement.

Isolated dev environments aren't that hard to setup if you really need HW access.

Do it right and you might even end up with something better than local.

And no, I don't have admin on my current work laptop either.

Yes, it's occasionally annoying, and we have tighter controls than that, i cant do a bunch of things that most envs would allow without thought - and I occasionally set of alarms that trigger the security folks to have a word, which is also occasionally annoying.

Reassuring too tho.

Comparing KDE and macOS is weird. One is a DE, the other an OS (and a hardware commitment.) I would never buy a Mac for myself. I can't justify the cost for a new one.

I use KDE - it works well, it's full-featured and lighter in resource usage than GNOME. I have a older macbook, but I don't like the lack of default UI features I just got used to in KDE. (Window tiling, robust clipboard, the more than acceptable file manager, the underlying OS's package manager, simple way to put graphs and monitors in my panel(s)). It's not all perfect, but 'perfect' is not a problem to solve. I can't justify using macos with these things that just work well enough.

Also, if I had to use a Mac again as a daily driver, the first program I would install is a VM and install like Debian or FreeBSD on it and then setup KDE.
Or at least something useless but harmless, like smashing rocks into gravel with hammers. That would be much better than harassing and hassling everybody trying to go on a vacation.

I didn't say you had to be stuck working on boring maintenance work on a boring team with no problems to solve, just join a boring _organization_.

There are many teams in organizations like EBS/S3/etc working on the growth and next frontier of those services - but those teams are still far less likely to be cut in a layoff than teams doing similar work in riskier organizations. Why? Because layoffs are allocated from the top first. The reliable and profitable S3 org as a whole will be required to lay off far fewer people than the Devices org that is losing $XXXXXXXX/year.
Has anyone check on this guy's lawyers? Are they safe?
I think they work out ok, I suppose. The big “whistleblowers” over the pas few years haven’t actually been whistleblowers because they leaked confidential secrets. So Reality Winner, Chesley Manning, etc were convicted independent of any whistleblower laws.

And why Snowden had to do an illegal act to reveal.

But I think these scenarios are totally different from these Twitter leaks where there’s no whistleblowing or illegal activity revealed.

But I think there are tons of examples where the law worked and whistleblowers were protected and even financially rewarded, https://www.phillipsandcohen.com/successful-cases/

The practical definition that came through from reading Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by the two people who did most to make RISC happen (Hennessy at Stanford and Patterson at Berkeley) had to do with this formula.

work/second = work/instruction * instructions/cycle * cycles/second

The "reduction" in RISC was in work (and complexity) per instruction, enabling even greater gains in the other two factors. I'm well aware that this isn't the official definition, but IMO it's the perspective that has held up best through all the intervening years. Load/store is certainly part of that. So are orthogonal instruction and register sets, exposed pipelines, software TLBs, etc. We've gotten away from some of those things nowadays, but in the early days they were necessary to drive performance despite lower work per instruction.

> And there it is: the assumption that AGI will, necessarily, be capable of hacking effectively any computer system, no matter how well-secured.

Where did I say they are capable of hacking any computer system no matter how well secured?

I said that software vulnerabilities exist, that software supply chains are known to be vulnerable, that even financial institutions are vulnerable. These are all documented facts.

An AI doesn't have to successfully hack any computer system, it only needs to successfully hack one financial computer system to create an account that can send and receive money. Given it can plausibly attempt to do so consistently around the clock via numerous means (like vulnerable software supply chains or other exploits), the chances of it doing so successfully against any of the tens of thousands of banking systems around the world over a timespan of years seems plausibly certain. And that's only for the things it needs that require some kind of official financial account, it can do plenty with cryptocurrency alone.

Boy do you skeptics love your strawman arguments.
> they don't measure any brain chemicals when they do psychiatric diagnosis

They do not measure anything in my experience.

They just take an educated guess at what will fix your issues based on heuristics, and then just wait to see if you love/hate whatever they gave you. If what they give you did not work, then on to the next option until something works or all options are exhausted (which they usually just send you off to a different professional).

As I grow older, I am more convinced that psychiatry is more of an art than a science.

Tangential: I used to listen to Huberman, but over time I started to dislike his podcast more and more. I think he is a phenominal researcher, and I think his intentions with his podcast are good, but it seems like he just reads off various cherry-picked studies without actually linking them (that I could find) and without any mention of important details in the studies e.g. sample sizes, methodology flaws, implicit/explicit biases, etc..

He claimed 14% of pregnant mothers use cannabis in the US, but from what I have read of others' ventures into this claim, no one can find any information to support this claim.

I also remember his episode on ADHD, and how effective fish oil can be for treating some of the symptoms in ADHD. However, in my own reading of various research articles, I have found that there is quite a lot conflicting information pertaining to the purported benefits of fish oil (in regards to ADHD). But of course, he did not mention anything about the research that did not fit the supplement narrative... But don't forget to use the code "HubermanLabs" for a discount on your purchase of Athletic Greens though.

Code being open doesn't mean anything unless you can verify the code running on a machine at the time of voting (adding another layer of complexity). It's not just voting software though, the rest of the system needs to be verified too (both software and hardware).

Not sure why you compare blockchain here either, no developed countries I know of use blockchain in their monetary authority or try to obscure voting processes from the public.

Yes but intruding into private audio calls is something users would be heavily suspicious of. It's not hard to imagine a non technical users thinking "OMG they're showing me ads based on my calls". Lots of people already think this.

Also its one thing to show an expensive ad on a screen that the user is actively looking at (that might actually be effective), and another to show an expensive ad on a screen that 95% of users are not looking at.
