Get over yourself.

How about we start with you not making 2 massive assumptions off of a sentence in a document that summarizes anywhere from 1-30+ years of someone's work.

Then how about we move away from you thinking that interviews are for your entertainment and the interviewee is a circus animal where 'you get to enjoy that' as they 'show off'.
I feel like a lot of companies put effort into their changelog in the early days when they're trying to cultivate their first users and know every user personally. But then I see them inevitably fall into the "bug fixes and performance improvements" laziness.

Would be a cool (but painful to do) analysis to look at whether this happens and at what scale companies throw in the towel.
They market everything else. So, why not?
Can't say speak for FAANG, but can confirm for a $100B+ business that analytics was a huge mess. There was constant investment on both the engineering and analytics functions to wrangle a coherent view on top of the underlying operational data model.
Fabrication is a red line. Apple-style chip design is as far as it will ever go.

You'd need to take the combined capital of Apple, Microsoft and Amazon, along with 2-3 decades of time to even begin considering becoming competitive with the likes of TSM or Samsung. Who is signing up for that risk profile?

One, I never said a good side didn't exist. In fact, I was careful to not say that. So easy on the straw men.

Two, I have been hearing vague, anecdotal claims like this for years. It reminds me of how back in the day I would get vague, anecdotal claims for why open mail relays were useful to people. But if you want to claim a meaningful fraction of crypto activity is valuable in ways for which there are no equivalent, you'll have to provide data.

Three, I'm very skeptical that there aren't other good non-crypto ways to solve the nominal problems. Good or better, really. As an example, take M-Pesa. [1] It started around the same time as Bitcoin, but has done vastly more to bank the unbanked in Africa. If you'd like to demonstrate actual superiority for significant use cases, I'm all ears. But I'm coming up on a decade of dealing with vague, handwavey replies about how crypto is akshually good, so I'm really going to insist on specifics here.

Home Sharing covers some of it, but the limitations of requiring everything physically on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID sound way more stringent.

Even for a family for instance, it means they'd all have to share the same ID, which would be a royal PITA, especially if you're setting parental controls for the kids.

The state of dedicated film scanning is so bad these days, especially for larger than 35mm formats that it seems most people still shooting film are resorting to using a digital camera and a macro lens with something to hold the film.

Seems a pity.
I’m pretty sure that if you need some stock to grow in order to support your children, then your influence on a public company is virtually irrelevant.
Anyone who can bullshit so well they can survive this really ought to be in sales or something. They'd make way more money with their evidently incredibly good social skills, working in a field where it's directly applicable.

I'm convinced most of the "bullshitters" people "catch" with programming puzzles, who "can't even write a for loop" are just choking under interview pressure, or are for-real bullshitters but never would have made it through the process you describe anyway, because they're not that good at bullshitting.
I wish they would enable the CSAM scanner for children’s accounts when parental guidance is turned on. That makes so much sense. If my child is being abused I want to be notified. But instead they shelved it because they couldn't get their spyware installed. Shows how much apple really cares about children and how much they care about spying on us.
Hey! I took a dive into the FlexTight scanners late last year and actually got my FlexTight Precision II to work on 64-bit Windows 11:

When I can't find a pdf I like buying old editions on eBay for $10 or whatever. I find that having to browse through more info to actually find what I'm trying to reference leads to better ancillary knowledge and understanding than CTRL+Fing a pdf.
I figured you'd have something like that. Works well enough if you have a pool of servers, but it's basically a non-starter for anything that you want to be self-hosted for example, or other scenarios where things are small enough in scale that "pool of servers" isn't really worth it.

Cases where it panics and leaves an incorrect state seem very rare; panics due to an incorrect state are slightly less rare, but still fairly rare.
I keep seeing various attempts at using GPT for things.

How exactly does one incorporate data that the GPT was not trained on into ChatGPT?
Avoiding the false positives may be the biggest upside for many people. If (as I expect) the university system moves to a reproducible citation marker for saved GPT prompts, then peer review and marking can make an assessment about how much of the generated content emerged into the published work. If we treat it as a tool it can be declared and understood.
Because they are not the fed! They don’t make rate decisions. And they can’t guess what the fed will decide with any reliability. Those who have tried over the past couple years got hosed.

Why do you think people pay so much attention to the fomc meetings and the data they use, and minor off the cuff statements by kashkari or Powell, or any of them, will without exception send the market into a tailspin?

The fed controls the value of money, and that controls the employment rate, which is what influences hiring/firing decisions. It’s simple high school economics.
That part of TFA confused me as well, because I just tested it out on my Win10 desktop, and it worked effortlessly.

I didn't even have to search for the local files. iTunes had a nice "Show in Windows Explorer" button next to the episode I downloaded, which opened a directory with the mp3 audio file for the episode (neatly tagged and named and all). I opened it with VLC and confirmed that the playback works perfectly fine.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested the part with transferring the file to an Android device specifically. But if an mp3 audio file plays fine in any third-party media player on Windows, I think it is safe to assume that it would play fine on Android as well.

Rather, ASML makes some equipment that you literally cannot get from anywhere else, and the stock price is reflecting this.
For the skills, I feel for every interviewer that grills you about them there are five that would have never bothered to interview you if you hadn't listed them. If the job posting has Kubernetes, data science, Angular, React, Ember, Java, linux, apache, python, postgres... for a junior dev role, I am damn sure going to list them even if I only have a general idea about them. I highly doubt they are going to start grilling me on the inner workings of postgres, they just want to know I have worked with an sql database.

Most of the time it feels like a performance from both sides. We only want to hire the best! We need all 30 of these skills! Oh yes sir I am the best I absolutely know all those things!
> What was it with 90s and having medium-grey be dominating UI color? And everything having faux-3d bevels?

In the 90s, most large software companies (especially OS vendors) would run usability studies with real-world users at a variety of skill levels to try to make their software as easy to use as possible. Everyone used medium-gray as the main UI background color because it makes colored elements easily stand out, and doesn't affect an element's perceived color. Everything had faux-3D bevels because they make it obvious which elements are clickable, and which aren't.

That's because they pissed off Elon by supplying the source data for ElonJet. He's been on a banning spree for weeks. Anyone who so much as mentioned the account would get the banhammer.
We all know the ideal theory, man.

Citing it as if it's something that's even needed to be said is kind of ironic on a forum with mostly programmers in it who, I am pretty sure, by and large possess a fair amount of critical thinking and quick analysis skills.

A ton of people have to make do with partial schedules. And I mean a ton, likely no less than 85% of all programmers everywhere.

You might want to make a good deep analysis on whether you're not coming from a position of severe privilege and a very positive filter bubble.
I've in some apps tried to use a pattern where only certain files are allowed to touch the model classes (selectors.py, services.py). Something queried from the selector is mapped to a dumb pydantic object before being returned. To change something you need to call a function in services, can no longer modify a value on the object and call save.

Some drawbacks is that it can cost you a few queries when you want to select related. Or you need to make a specific function for selecting the relation, but then have a different pydantic return type now with that value prefetched. So a bit more boilerplate, but no longer any surprises
I'm not familiar with machine learning.

But, I'm familiar with poking around in source code repos!

I found this https://huggingface.co/openjourney/openjourney/blob/main/tex... . It's a giant binary file. A big binary blob.

(The format of the blob is python's "pickle" format: a binary serialization of an in-memory object, used to store an in-memory object and later load it, perhaps on a different machine.)

But, I did not find any source code for generating that file. Am I missing something?

Shouldn't there at least be a list of input images, etc and some script that uses them to train the model?

I understand the anger from the ancestor post... that this is "standard practice" in the purported "land of the free" is just fucked.

but you do give a classier way to handle it which does leave the off chance that they'd make an 'exception' for some "special" candidate, still I wouldn't like to work in a place like that.

Huh? You're saying one can only get a minimum paid job with a college degree (plus lots of debt). Isn't that saying that the selection of the degree wasn't the wisest choice? i.e. ROI

Not sure I would put the blame solely only on the capitalist system for that.

YouTube's key offering for me isn't providing me a place to host videos or watch videos I already know I want to see.

YouTube offers the discovery of new videos I didn't know I wanted to see. My watch history is likely 80/20 videos suggested vs videos I used search to find. YT's algorithm provides me a list of new content from creators I like, related content to subjects I like, and new content that is relevant to my interests.

The primary focus of an alternative that I'd be willing to use is one that focuses on showing me relevant videos over focusing on mere hosting.

Paywalled. From the title, what this says to me is that investors don't see a return on investment in the short to medium term and want state actor finance because they're tired of paying.

I don't like the cynicism of funding but it does act as a reality check. If subsidies are this influential, that suggests the European model needs significantly more state investment.
That would require someone actually having the power to be able to make such a decision, but Google internally seems to just end up with squabbling camps that try to defend their turf.
Dividing lines would depend to a large extent on what contributors want, particularly if it's set to be a nonprofit with a FOSS ethos.

Potentially a lot of the value comes from providing specific cuts of the data for specific purposes to companies (statistics on aircraft hours and cycles for companies supplying parts and maintenance, trend analysis). There are of course already authoritative sources that specialise in that, but they're relatively expensive, and a lot of the commercial customers want Excel files with prepared data tables for their commercial use, not API access to a stream that probably needs some cleaning up. Selling that value add stuff is compatible with making the core data streams open.
The rest obviously comes from API access (which you'd likely want to limit to some extent so consumer web and mobile apps aren't hammering them for data)

Marketability is going to depend a huge amount on whether it's possible to get enough people on board to get good coverage, bearing in mind there are plenty of ADS-B data aggregation services out there (and they tend to have historical data going back several years, with the more commercially oriented ones having sales teams and full service customer support)
Even for consumer scanners, it seems I’m helping my parents fight unmaintained proprietary firmware on Windows every few years. Eventually I just set them up with SANE.
Excellent FUD. No actual claims, just casting vague aspersions based on nothing but some absolutely generic photos that are typical of what a newspaper photographer will produce.

As long as we're making unsupported allegations, can you prove that you aren't funded by the crypto industry or otherwise benefiting financially from crypto? Because it seems suspicious that you're going to go out of your way to produce high-quality FUD for free.

The first Reddit post for big consumer apps
Whenever someone says that the reason some health related thing isn't being used because it's not patentable and there's no money in it it's a pretty sure signal they don't know what they're talking about. Therapy methods, manufacturing methods, etc. are all patentable. As an example here is a patent that was granted around methods for selecting bacteriophages against specific bacteria [1]. If you search patent records for phage therapy there are tons of granted patents.

The original patent for insulin was given away by it's discoverers because they wanted everyone to be able to have access to inexpensive insulin. That hasn't stopped pharma companies from coming up with patents around formulations, manufacturing methods, delivery methods, etc. and making tons of money off of insulin.

Sibling comments have pointed out the real reasons it's not commonly used despite the promise. I just wanted to point out not being able to patent something is almost never a barrier for pharmaceutical companies if they think they can come up with a profitable therapeutic.

The mlat is more for receiving aircraft that use traditional transponders which don't include gps coordinates but just a squawk code and altitude. Hence it needs multiple receivers to triangulate their location. I don't think it uses this for real adsb feeds.

I think what you experienced is a shift in philosophy at Apple and rot by low maintenance. In the early 2000s Apple's approach seemed to be having your computer be "the hub" and things could sync or stream from your computer (like your iPod requiring a computer). That seemed to cause problems when you had multiple computers, take your devices away from home, requiring your computer to be on and connected, requiring you to own a computer to use devices, etc. They seemed to abandon that for awhile and later shift to the cloud being the hub...along with ongoing subscriptions.
Funny but also sad :(
> Also, continued public interest is probably one of the reasons that research grant money continues to be available to study something that was found 15 years ago.

> ...state politics in previous years have meant that we have only been able to obtain limited funding for research and as a result little progress has been made.
This is also garbage.

Does your company put you head to head with another developer to see who can develop the same feature the fastest?

Or maybe you secretly keep tabs on all of your teammates and their delivery speed, so that you can calculate how much faster than your teammates you are at delivering and how many fewer bugs you ship?

Thats not really fair to the human. The time to learn basic SQL may be longer, but the algorithm will never develop intuition or independence, while many junior analysts will eventually operate effectively on their own.

It’s a neat tool for analysts as a query generator - I would use it in situations where I’m not familiar with the schema, but it would become less useful as I learn.

The information is already publicly broadcast; nobody's paying one particular feed company big bucks to remove it from their records when most others do it simply because they ask nicely or because they don't want to upset the government.

It was a micro optimization because it was a toy example. Doing floating-point arithmetic (and not already using BLAS etc.) is very niche in real code.
Comparing modern African immigrants to modern day Black Americans descended from enslaved people is not going to get you a clean comparison by any means. Modern African immigrants are one the most highly educated groups of people in the US. And many of them come having already attained that education due to family money, intelligence, whatever. The poor or even average African immigrants has little chance of making it here. In other words, you are comparing an all star team to the general population.

And yes, biases of past treatment is one of the main issues that many are trying to correct with affirmative action-like programs. There doesn't have to be any modern, active racism at all to try and correct the terrible damage done in the past on a systemic basis.
