Did you use your FAANG status to negotiate an unusually high salary? Perhaps they acquiesced to your demands under the condition they would evaluate your performance to see if you were worth the high price.

That is, the founders may have said something to each other along the lines of "well, he's really expensive but maybe he's worth the price if he performs equivalently to 2-3 engineers. Let's hire him for a month or two and see how it goes."

Did you ask for an outsized salary and then perform poorly (or even "averagely") during the trial period? This might explain it.
Appreciate the insight. When you say even stuff shot in film is de and re-grained, are you referring to works shot recently? Or do you mean that the sort of restorations put out by Criterion/BFI/etc have fake grain added in?

Would be interesting, and to me a bit disappointing, if so.

Yes, I have interacted with them. And I do not care if they are thoughtful, reasonable, loving people if they make absurd and hateful choices.

You can't avoid the fact that they called me objectively wrong. They said so very clearly by voting for somebody who did not even begin to disguise his contempt for me. They might even be correct, but you cannot avoid the fact that the "lumping of half the country in one bucket" is something they did.

We blow up model sizes to reduce the risk of overfitting and to speed up training. So yes, usually you can shrink the finished model by 99% with a bit of normalization, quantization and sparseness.

Also, plenty of "deep learning" tasks work equally well with decision trees if you use the right feature extractors.

Did something not too dissimilar for storing test answer randomization and answers in an older elearning standard. I had limited space, so for each screen, I used a single byte to store the state of if it was seen, the answer selected and order of answers. The intent was to randomize answer order on display to make it harder to pass an answer key around. This is more impressive though... Cannot even imagine the effort it took.

Just that old small hardware had little to no memory protection and very tight integration so stuff like that could be done directly instead of going thru many layers of abstraction
A computer simulation, programmed to simulate based on rules you have provided beforehand, and did you ever question that?!

Artificial intelligence models trained on content derived from society will produce content that conforms to what it was trained with. Likewise simulations given similar rules will of course result in an outcome favourable to the rules specified. But of course you will take things at face value because "it's all science"!

This is factually inaccurate; contracts are one area of, but not the basis of, common law.

In common law, contracts don't trump other law, and contracts or provisions thereof can be invalid for being contrary to public policy.

This isn't about advertising - you can still advertise just fine, even more so on a search engine where the benefit of tracking is limited as the user explicitly tells you what they're searching for.
The problem is that even a perfectly implemented computer will fail randomly, due to inherent unreliability in the underlying hardware (cosmic rays, bad silicon etc.).

And once you start designing around that unreliability, it is harder to justify chasing esoteric bugs rather than folding that alongside the probability model of random hardware failure.

It’s hard for any system dealing with the real world to be completely “maths and proofs”. There is plenty of it that’s applied even in the real world systems we operate today. At the end of the day, it’s Engineering and not a pure science.

And I guess the other problem is that quite often you don’t need to quantify the failure modes and do “proper engineering”, because a lot of the systems we build and use just don’t need the level of reliability that e.g. a bridge needs (yet). There are definitely industries where software reliability is considered paramount, but that’s not the majority of the market.

IMO a trial project is just another step in the interviewing process so you should have continued to interview with others. You might have even gotten another offer in the meantime and forced their hand to make a decision before the trial period is over.

No, the bond company posts the entire amount and keeps the 10% you paid them as their fee. This is why they employ bounty hunters to track you down if you try to skip.
I was told once that by the time you're genuinely considering a big change - by the time you're aware there's an abyss - the answer is probably "do it." There are things that are normal fears - "I have a serious medical condition and can't risk being without health insurance," that kind of thing - but "abyss" questions tend to be the sorts of things where you can't really articulate what your concerns are, or they're more about status or perception or just a general risk aversion ("what if I never find a job again?" "do I really want to be a divorcee?" "will my peers think I'm a failure?"), and the reason you're really even considering it is because you're currently miserable. People tend to stay at jobs longer than they should, in relationships longer than they should, and in misery longer than they should.

Nope, all depends on type of load.

HT is an opimization to context switching but if your code running on both utilizes different parts of core (say one loads some memory while others does some math), you can get speedup that's above savings from not having to context switch.

But early on it wasn't really that well optimized so you might've had OS put 2 threads on 2/1 HT/core while other core sits idle

Living in several areas of US suburbia as well, I was nearing my 30s before I lived in a place with grocery stores that I could even bike to, let alone walk. My quality of life increased drastically when I was finally able to walk/bike to the store. Walkable suburbia exists in the US, but it’s not the norm. Don’t take it for granted :)

I use Thunderbird for my email. Its behavior shows it is a multithreaded program.

But often, the mouse and keyboard will freeze and it becomes unresponsive for several seconds. This is indicative of suboptimal partitioning of the tasks into threads. The highest priority thread should be responding to user input.

Heck, back in the 1970s, I designed and built a single board computer that was to be a glass tty. There was no way to get that 6800 uP to update the screen fast enough to keep up with characters arriving at 9600 baud.

The solution was, whenever the user hit a key, to abandon updating the screen and process the character. Once that process was complete, and there were no more keys in the input, the screen updating was restarted.

It worked out great. You simply never noticed this was happening, and you always got crisp response.

I did the same thing for the MicroEmacs text editor on the IBM PC. If I hadn't, the editor would lose input and/or have noticeable lags refreshing the screen.

P.S. The importance of not losing input was necessitated by using ttys to transfer files across the phone lines and serial ports. You also couldn't touch type if the tty lost key input.

P.P.S. The Chrome browser that I use also has problems with freezing on keyboard input.
Makes me wonder whether we’re already past the point where remote work has turned from a perk into an essential skill (ie. the ability to work/collaborate effectively in a remote/hybrid setup). In the current economic downturn, it’s not difficult to see how firms want to curb their monthly outgoings for office leases.
Linux has already half-solved this, eg with netlink.

If you're on a system with huge numbers of connections, reading from /proc/net/tcp get extremely slow. Modern tools query connection state using netlink instead (ss vs netstat). This was done by necessity: /proc/net/tcp actually doesn't work at scale.

I agree with you, serializing and deserializing files with records is a terrible idea - it cannot be performant. JSON fixes parsing ambiguity but at a cost of being even slower. We already know it won't work.

We have already solved this for specific parts of /proc and it works great. All we have to do is finish the work and provide the rest of proc via netlink as well (or whatever else similar non-text based system for querying structured records)
Thanks :) that was uplifting :)

> Anyway, residual connections in NNs as well as distillation being only a 1% hit to performance imply our models are way too big.

I disagree with the conclusion.

It indicates that our optimisers are just not good enough, likely because gradient descent is just weak.

The argument for residual connections is that we can create a nested family of models which enables expressing more models, but also embedding the smaller ones into them.

The smaller models may be retrieved if our model learns to produce the the identity function at later layers.

The problem though is that that is very difficult, meaning that our optimisers are simply not good enough at constructing identify functions. With the residual layers, we can embed the identity function into the structure of the model, and we now need to learn to map to 0 (since a residual is f(x) = x+g(x)), we need only to learn g(x)=0).

As for our optimisers being bad, the argument is that with an overparameterised network, there is always a descent direction, but we land on local minima that are very close to the global one. The descend direction may exist in the batch, but when considering all the batches, we are at a local minimum.

We can find many such local minima via certain symmetries.

The general problem however is that even with the full dataset, we can only make local improvements in the landscape.

Thus, it’s that the better models are embedded within the larger ones, and more parameters enable us to find them because of nested families, symmetries, and because of always having a descent direction.

> Sure use OCaml, Haskell, Go whatever suits your needs. But let's not pretend that they achieve at compile time what rust does.

Are you talking specifically about the memory use of rustc vs. ocamlopt? Or do you mean that rustc is faster than ocamlopt at compiling a similar program? Or are you saying that rustc does more work than ocamlopt because of the borrow checker?
I believe that’s too narrow of a viewpoint and disregards the nuances of the relationship between graduate students and their universities. In recent times universities have increasingly relied on grad students for teaching and research functions. If you asked a graduate student to describe their experience they will most likely compare it to a job because it has the same responsibilities as one.
I think I lost brain cells trying to read the post (the font doesn't help). In my post lobotimzed state, I would summarize as:

There's a site called Character AI that allows users to customize a large language models output to be like a specific character. Some people start using this pornographically by, well, you know. The creators don't like it (maybe because of monetization issues), add a censorship filter, there's a cat and mouse game and the filter gets stronger at the cost of the LLM's output, the people using it for pornography are mad, the end.
I asked myself in the past 'how secure are password-protected zip files?', and the answers I found online all seem to agree on 'not very secure'.

Not at all surprised by this. I worked for a YC company. I've interviewed with over a dozen of them over the years. One thing that YC companies don't do very well is interview/hire. All but one (the one I worked for) went down the typical broken path of 6+ hours of total interview time, including multiple live coding sessions with pedantic exercises (the one's we've all come to know well - algorithm regurgitation), the ominous "culture fit" calls, and over-emphasis on equity. I've found it surprising that YC doesn't better coach founders/companies on how to be more efficient and more innovative with their hiring processes.
