High school in the US (~ages 14-18) doesn't have one track, and calculus isn't required to graduate. There were around 800 students in my year, and I'd guess only around 100-200 took the class, and it was usually in the final year. So of the other group, the ones that went straight into working instead of college never had it.

Edit: to clarify, mine was in the mid-2000s, don't know if there have been changes with things like Common Core, but from what I've seen/heard that seems focused on much earlier years so I don't think it would have affected this part of math education.
Interesting. I discovered just the other night that merely minimizing Discord nets me about a 20 FPS improvement in Factorio. (Even if Discord is otherwise off-screen, which it normally is, as Factorio is fullscreen, and there's no second monitor for me.)
The very premise of modern environmentalism necessitates human extinction by logical extension. You can't act or believe as if humans can or should have no impact on the environment without entertaining humanity's gradual demise as part of the process of "saving the earth" when all other known options are exhausted.
> Intel isn't a great place to work (despite their corporate value claiming it is), but by most accounts, Amazon is much worse unless you really like a place with cutthroat corporate politics.

I used to work at Intel. Some data points:

When the news about how bad Amazon's culture was (e.g. people crying at desk), my thoughts were "This sounds like Intel."

When you talk to Amazon employees, most say "Every team is different. We don't see such behavior in my team, and I don't work long hours (i.e. more than 40)." And the same can be said at Intel. If you're close to the fab, the behavior is crap. Software tends to be pretty chill. And you'll see everything in between. I recall once going in on Saturday and talking to a guy - he said he'd worked every weekend for the last 6 weeks and expects to continue doing so for a month or two more.

Everyone I know who has left Intel to join Amazon is happier at Amazon. Everyone. The most common refrains:

1. Good work/life balance at Amazon (although some had it good at Intel too).

2. Far fewer morons at Amazon. When you're in the non-core parts of Intel (e.g. software), the people around you are fairly poor in terms of talent (e.g. complaining about having to use Git, saying we're using it only because Microsoft owns Git (!), refusing to use branches in Git and insisting on just creating command line arguments for every experiment you want to try).

Intel, though, does have better PTO.
Cookbooks still have the same issue as an online recipe. Namely, you won’t know how good the recipe is until after you make it.
> healed my eczema with red light (infrared heater) It turn out that infrared is needed by all our cells to get rid of inflammation.

You’re mixing up red and infrared for the sake saying that LED bulbs are the Satan. This can still be corrected by adding red and infrared emitters to LED bulbs.
People love to reference the logical fallacy[1] as though there have been no instances where momentum builds from a series of decisions and cascades in a massive shift. But then again, thinkers like these are happy to comfortably think about the past while many suffer, instead of applying realism towards the future.

Yes, if the law considered a point(2,1) to be copyrightable, and no otherwise.

But more seriously: I think the question is perhaps a bit vague.
The point is, we're in the Czech Republic, so charging in Crowns is not an option. And we wouldn't be able to get Euro out of PayPal anyways, only Crowns.
You're likely doing nothing wrong it's just a saturated market of jobseekers. Supply and demand ebb and flow for most roles regularly. I simply think engineers have had a period of very high demand and lower supply for decades. Now that companies are finding ways to hire anywhere and everywhere (with or without a legal entity) supply has greatly increased and impacted demand. Just 2 cents from a recruiter hiring engineers for over 24 years. Also, remote jobs have the lowest talent demand (highest supply) because everyone wants them.
It fits a common narrative in that all humans are absolutely equal in mostly everything and can be sculptured like clay.
I guess it depends on how intensive you "feel" them.
Where were you 2 months ago!
The tweet/paper co-author posted the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.13188) yesterday on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34596187) and ironically the top comment there is referencing to this exact tweet thread (which was posted yesterday as well). Evidence for the metacircular evaluation of HN comments?

I think the paper is well worth the read, it's not particularly long (much is references and appendices), and nicely written, with at least a quick bit on most things I would think to test as part of something like this. Good stuff.
... but, why?
> This has not been my experience.

The claim is that personal projects can help. You don't have any personal projects (so they haven't helped you) but that isn't evidence personal projects aren't helpful, only that they are not strictly necessary.
I agree. As highly controversial as IQ is, it does measure something, and is correlated to certain outcomes.

I scanned the paper, but I don't recall if this was just K-12, or also higher ed, but I wonder if this result would fall apart in more complex subjects.

Also, no matter what the learning rate really is, if a student isn't interested in the subject, good luck getting them to learn much at all!

From recent experience applying for a remote job with 9YoE: I accepted a new job last week that I found after 3 full months of active looking (during all of the industry layoffs AND over the holidays) and submitting applications for 46 different positions (fun fact: it was the 45th application that offered me the job).

27 outright rejections, 13 I still have not heard back from, only 6 companies actually reached out to talk to me.
I’ve heard it said that applying is a numbers game; I did not want to believe it, but my recent experience was exactly that.

My recommendations:

1. Work to distill what you actually want from a new opportunity and use that to ruthlessly filter opportunities. I applied to a ton of companies, but every single one of them met my checklist of career goals. I passed on hundreds of others that did not.

2. If you want practice finding out what you want, engage with recruiters on LinkedIn. I did not find my job this way, but it was helpful for me to workshop my communication and build up a good list of “do not wants” (can be as helpful in winnowing down opportunities as “do wants” or “must haves”

3. Try multiple job search sites to be exposed to interesting new companies. (Otta was useful for me and where I ultimately found my new company). Don’t limit yourself to only companies whose names you already know. I trawled LinkedIn regularly to see who my connections and their connections were working for to expose myself to new companies and industries.

4. Find a way to achieve balance in the search. Some jobs I really wanted, I spent more time on the application. Some jobs that I knew less about, I submitted resume only. Have hope, but don’t fixate on particular opportunities - that’s a recipe for disappointment. This isn’t necessarily great advice for someone recently laid off - I was still employed while searching, so adjust accordingly. Understand that it’s possible that some things have nothing to do with you: one company I really wanted to work for never reached out to me. Turns out they gutted their recruiting department in a recent layoff. It is what it is.

I wish you well in your continued search and hope you are able to find what you are looking for.

You can see a map of household carbon footprint by ZIP code on this map: https://coolclimate.org/maps

A cursory glance shows that the densest urban centers have the lowest carbon footprint. The suburbs are much higher, with affluent suburbs often being more than twice as high. Only some very rural areas approach levels as low as the cities.
>As long as you're supplying the underlying facts, LLMs are great at writing blog posts

I have trouble agreeing.

I've experimented with this and found that ChatGPT can produce very pedestrian prose that might pass muster on a content farm and possibly other sites with fairly low quality standards but I certainly wouldn't call it "great."

That said, it could serve as an assistant for a human writing certain types of posts.

> I'm a former nuclear fan. In anything like its current form it is a dead end, and it is past time we move on.

Could you further elaborate on this take? I'm not interested in challenging you or anything, but the anti-nuclear position is often out of fear of catastophe, so it's refreshing to hear an opinion that it's a dead end.
That would probably be more difficult due to ethical considerations.
Same except we use a different in-memory database (H2). This makes it simple for CI systems like Jenkins to run the tests and you can have various degrees of integration. Really amazing that your comment was the first mention I saw of in-memory databases in this thread.

Small, high-GDP countries like the nordics are also likely to rear a small amount of the high-quality pilots required for operating fighter jets. Maximizing those pilots by putting them in exquisite, high-end aircraft, with strong interoperability with aircraft operated by close allies (in this case most of the rest of NATO), makes a lot of sense.
Same thought. On second thought, this is what start-up does, attracting people with resources first, then perhaps with any luck you get beyond a presentation deck
> lifetime employment doing what you love should only go to those who are supremely dedicated

Should people give their lives for a profession? That seems prone to create unhealthy societies prone to conflict and cheating. In my experience self described meritocratic societies usually are just cynic nepotist societies. The children of the poor have to work their asses off to get much less that what the children of the rich get without effort.

Homo economicus is dead, and it is time to update the world views on work and economy.
Mapping in R seems a bit quaint at this time. If I need to do mixed visualizations including geo, I am reaching for Observable. If I only need the choropleth, Felt. If I need more spatial analysis, ArcGIS Online (it’s free!). If I need full-custom spatial or mixed statistics, geopandas.
>He is currently innocent

That's not how reality works. He's guilty or innocent already, and what happens at trial won't change that. He's entitled to a legal presumption of innocence, same as any defendant.
Nice, more hoops to jump through after paying for access to a service, just to stop random people from daring to share their passwords.

This change just makes piracy that much more convenient. Good call, Netflix.
The difference is not really between speaking and thinking but processing data with and without experience.

An AI doesn't have experience so doesn't encode things such as empathy very well.

Because it doesn't infer rules based on experience from interacting with other things.
(doesn't know what pain feels like so cannot react and decide about some things on its own for instance)

It's merely a data processor with statically coded rules.
It doesn't handle the unknown very well.

Still quite impressive what can be done but there is of course some room for improvement.
I have no idea, but I would assume the Dodos are just a good PR stunt.* There are many many many extinct animals, why Dodo? because they seem to be almost universally known. So i they are successful, it will help them move on to the next stage of profitibility, but along the way they will gain knowledge, skill, etc. I don't know how they intend to make that knowledge/skill the basis for a business though.

* To be clear, I don't think the idea of a "PR stunt" is a bad thing, just that they are unlikely to consider the Dodo the profitability endpoint. Maybe they intend to build a park of extinct animals on an island somewhere and charge people huge fees to visit....

> Just a reminder that all this car infrastructure is max ~100 years old

100 years ago we had one third the population we have today. Undoing that kind of development in another 100 years is plausible, but I suspect the oil problem will have resolved itself around that time anyway.

And installing the same size network of public transit is far more expensive than paving that many miles of roads. Vastly, incredibly, insurmountably more expensive. The real ask is for changing population patterns to become more dense, and this is a decades-long evolution.
Sharing sensor data is always a good idea and helps with being stealthy since you can see the opponent sooner (without giving yourself away as much). Reduced radar cross section then helps further, because the opponent sees you later. Combine both for best results.

I expect that most or all radar guided missiles (modern and historical) can be used to engage an F-35 (or any other stealth-y aircraft). The effective engagement range will be lower than against a less-stealthy aircraft though.

Dodging missiles does not rely exclusively on kinetics. There are several ways to try to break a lock or at least temporarily confuse a missile. (eg. notching, chaff, ECM) . Having improved sensor fusion and reduced RCS can obviously make these tools and tactics a bit easier and more effective too.
They ran fine on machines a hell of a lot weaker than that. If you had an actually-good desktop OS (uh, BeOS is the only example I know of—Linux, at the time, couldn't do this, even with minimalist window managers) you could even browse the web, have chat open, and be playing mp3s, and not hear so much as a pop or skip on the music, on a 166MHz Pentium (that's a single core, kiddos) with 128MB (luxury!) of memory.
The company this thread is about: System76. They dont build their own laptops (which, is understandable for a small company).
That's pretty cool. I wonder if it would work well paired with FernFlower to decompile and de-obfuscate Java byte code. I often find myself stuck with a JAR where the source was never pushed to GIT and have to re-create it from decompiled source.
I'd say it's more a bulletin or news board than a news website itself. Journalists don't work for Twitter and write news articles, they just share it via Twitter as a medium.
1. Of course I'm not going to reference a TV show. They aren't exactly known for realism. I've seen how they think poor people live, after all.

2. One line, a city, or a few riders isn't an issue with busses, be they with or without fares. That's society not taking care of folks. Plus, it would be ridiculous to think that it would be like this everywhere.. because it isn't like this everywhere now.
That would make a tremendous Easter egg haha, I hope the creators see this.
I don't know, people training themselves by trying to emulate well known or successful artists and styles has long been a thing if my memory of Deviant Art 20 years ago is accurate. And most every comic con I've attended is overrun with examples of the same kind of thing even now. Or tattoo artists giving people tattoos of movies characters and scenes. Or the multiple times in school that an art assignment involved more or less copying or reinterpretation of an existing work.

That said, with humans it's not like anyone tries to prevent us from having the capability, it's just that usually people know better. Otherwise going to art galleries would be problematic.
So then I guess the advice is, if you have to use Discord, stick to the web version?

Bad news for big tech conglomerates that want to take the work of individuals and sell it back to them.

Radioactive capsule found in Australian desert after ‘relentless’ search
The argument isn't that it can reproduce ALL images, but that it might occasionally reproduce one image. And if that is devastating to e.g. the economic feasibility of a product built on the model - then that's an existential threat to that business model.

To make a really dumb example:

I can make a black box model that I push in 1000 bestseller novels through, that has the total "storage size" of 1 novel. The pigeonhole principle says my model can't possibly contain all 1000 novels. If you ask it (anything) it will respond with that one novel, verbatim. It never reproduces anything else.

Does it now matter whether I trained it on 1000 novels? Does it matter that my "black box" is just that, a literal black cardboard box containing just a copy of a novel?
That goes both ways. The problem of being an expert on the F-35 is that you can't warn friendly nations of the critical problems classified as confidential.

"The number of major F-35 flaws is shrinking, but the Pentagon is keeping details of the problems under wraps" - https://www.defensenews.com/smr/hidden-troubles-f35/2021/07/...

"“Details of [deficiencies] — even unclassified [deficiencies] — are not publicly releasable because the information is operationally sensitive, and its release could be detrimental to U.S. and international war fighters operating F-35s worldwide,”... Seal noted that all remaining critical deficiencies are classified as category 1B issues, which represent a “critical impact on mission readiness.” The more serious category 1A problems indicate a risk to the operator’s life..."

"...In June 2019, Defense News published an investigation into the F-35 that detailed all 13 category 1 deficiencies on the books at the time — the first and only time a full list of F-35 critical deficiencies has been publicly released."

Since Finland selection was done way before, how many of these were disclosed to them?

So true. The Bay's suburbs are definitely lacking kids.

Mostly, I think, because those areas are where tech workers live and they tend to skew younger and childless (or few children). So you end up with tech bros crammed into single family homes, with no need for the front/back yard.

Areas around FAANG campuses really just need higher density zoning. It's stupid that the neighborhoods surrounding all Google, Apple, Amazon campuses are single family homes when there is a massive demand for tech workers to be as close to the office as possible.
Yup I've done the AWS Step Functions thing in the past, and it usually was about 90% wrangling with AWS and 10% writing code... we wanted to flip that ratio around (that's the goal at least!)

As for temporal, we are pretty similar to them, although I think we have more of a focus on making it easy to trigger (sorry) the workflows from third party events (webhooks, etc.) and then making reliable requests once you are in a workflow.

Thanks for the feedback though, we'll try and add service comparison docs soon!
I have a similar resume to yours. 8 months ago I put my resume up on hired.com. I had to turn it off after about a week because I had so many interviews already and the requests kept pouring in. I ended up turning them all down because things seemed to stabilize at my job.

After getting laid off 3 weeks ago I turned it back on, and I have gotten a single response.

There are other indicators in my job search that tell me the market is much cooler, but this is the clearest.

I have also heard from people on the inside of other companies, that posted jobs are on hold, will actually go to internal transfers, or already have a backlog of applicants. This could explain the ghosting.
This is a matter of politics. Right now the majority of the population doesn't agree with your position. That's the problem you have to solve. The real difficulty there is that people are by nature concerned more about near-term, local events. If you try too hard to make their life more expensive and difficult, they'll just vote you out of power.
It's irrelevant what they are for. Reality means that things like this get misused but deleting data without warning is still not ok.
I don't knit, but none of those do what Discord does, really: effective group chat + in game voice. Skype is sort of is in that direction, but Discord's UX nails it for in-game chat whereas Skype's did not. (Though it has been a while since I ran Skype for more than "oh, that's the only medium that party supports? I guess if we have to…")

I do feel that these apps these days, Discord included, eat a ton of resources, and that it feels like a regression.
Unironically this is how most of the first world thinks while expecting us from the third to completely change our lifestyles and don't we even dare to try to develop the same way you guys did.
> both the buyer and seller are perfectly happy with fraud.

Many people fully believe that they are making the world a better place, they are not "happy with being deceived" but they are just ignorant. This is like saying that the tobacco industry lies make both happy. That is only true as far as the buyer, the smoker, does not find the true, sometimes in a very hard way.

And your argument also applies to economic scams. If I invest all my money in a fund and think that I am getting a 20% return, I may be happy because I do not know that the bank has lost all my money. So, I am happy until I know the true.

Here, all the fault is in corporations that lie and scam people. The consumers are just trying to be good people. Your assumption that people does not want to know the true seems very profitable for scammers.
