I don't think that is correct.

I'm sorry to be so disagreeable, I understand your point including commute times into "hours of work", but I don't think that's what was being referred to here. (I also think there's a pervasive tendency to overstate commute times - 1 hour is an extremely long commute, a quick Google search shows the US average is ~27 minutes, which is still long, but...):

> In most professional jobs its not great to be the guy in the door at 9 and out at 5 on the dot if you want a promotion.

In my time in tech roles on the East Coast, I haven't encountered this sentiment. Maybe if there was extreme inflexibility in one's schedule, I could see it frustrating some people, but for the most part I've only ever seen (1) people getting promoted for their work and the impression of their work or (2) active ladder climbing, which can be done within the confines of an 8 hour day. The most common reason I see people work above and beyond their hours is a primarily-self-generated sense of compulsion that's mostly disconnected from the expectations of their supervisors or peers.

Maybe I'm lucky.

At my local Safeway, low-end eggs have gone up proportionally less than high quality eggs. Cheapest went from $1.50 to $2.50. Pasture raised hen eggs went from $4/dozen to $8.50/dozen in the last year.

Bummer, because the low-quality ones taste... not great, and they have weak yolks.

Why does even a simple thing like fracture need a specialist in USA.
Sure. I think AI is more likely to destroy any other field I'd end up in before it makes software engineering obsolete. Like, my other main interest before (job wise) was journalism, and that field basically got annihilated by the internet in general, with AI only making it worse.

Plus it seems like it's the best paying career that's 'practical' to get into for most people too. Like, menial office work is being automated or replaced. Most entry level jobs pay like crap with terrible working conditions. Trades and manual work are hard on the body, especially in the long run.

Software engineering is something that anyone can learn without a specialised degree, which can pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year based on the company and location, and which has a hell of a less luck involved than say, becoming an athlete, musician, influencer, etc.
Sorry, what? A company blog post that links to their jobs page means you won't use a service? Do you just not use any service that advertises? How do you get Internet access?

> I know British people love the NHS but I don't think the US should copy it given its bad outcomes

keep in mind that for the vast majority of Americans the bad outcomes of the NHS would still be a massive improvement from what they have now which is basically no care at all. I know people who are solidly middle class but are putting off needed healthcare because of costs that wouldn't be any issue whatsoever if they were UK citizens and for lower income US families there's no NHS waiting list as long as "You will never be able to afford what you need"

I agree that, if we were to look to implement some version of the NHS here, we should learn from their mistakes and shortcomings, but if we took it "as is" today it'd still be a net win for Americans.
I have a friend who's actually a line cook. He has absolutely been touched by these types of code competitions - in his case, because of the interest it fostered in his kids. He's working hard to support them to follow their dream of being a SWE and he has a pretty darn good understanding of their interest in these types of competitions.

The reach of these programs isn't limited to people who work in an office. The impact is broad and includes many people across different industries and different economic/cultural divides -- because it's a program for their kids.
You might be surprised how many things are actually local; vegetables and fruits are the most likely to be shipped long distances (and other things that keep well like potatoes, etc).

But milk and dairy and eggs are often packaged relatively close; but you might not know it unless you know how to read the packaging codes.

The context of this one is inflation, and the tracking of it. The statement is that there is an army of government analysts working on it, to get it right.

The reality that I subscribe too (see what I did there?) contains the fact that the government continuously changes the metric from which inflation is measured. And how unemployment is measured. And how much money is in circulation. Until those numbers (and plenty of others) look better than the previous set of numbers.
“Personal assistant” would be the closest modern term to what I imagine, I guess. In the context of taking it seriously as a respectable profession requiring nontrivial competency, I find “secretary” a more preferable denomination, because it de-emphasizes the subordination.

Everything has gone up in price. Egg alone may be barely a blip, but people don't buy one dozen eggs per week to sustain themselves on. They buy a few bags of groceries, which have doubled (or more) in price in the last year where I live - that might be a few hundred per month extra.
No. Can you point to some history on this?

I take the view of humans being very innovative cockroaches (in the most endearing sense possible) with a strong will to survive. There are surely global catastrophes in store for us in the near future, climate change particularly, but I don't expect these to exterminate humanity or even do enough damage to seriously set back technological development for long. I expect mass migrations and major wars, but humanity has a track record of surviving these sort of things. We'd need something more in the magnitude of a comet strike to really unwind the technological-industrial revolution.

There's reams of mindless "white women only fuck black guys / white women fuck dogs" text that originated on 4chan and then spread elsewhere. I wonder how many megabytes of it ended up in GPT's dataset.
The article promises evidence, but it starts by repeating the premise half a dozen times, then offering correlations and loose theories. If there was evidence in there, I missed it. Maybe there was. But even if there was this was a badly formatted article.

Why can't people succinctly describe their thesis and then have a nice outline for the fine details on the proof? Is this not something we learn at uni, or even high school?
A few years ago this would have been interesting, even exciting news, but considering that we are legitimately getting close to having AI do our jobs - a 24x7, hyper-efficient worker - this seems to be concerning news. While better worker rights and shorter working hours are of course things we should strive for, I feel that as automation takes over, most management would prefer to take on a worker that, while initially possibly very limited in scope and error-prone, can learn quickly and soon perform the tasks the human was doing more efficiently, for a much lower cost, and with close to zero breaks. Of course, this scenario may be 5-10 years away, but it's round the corner and therefore scary for human Workers.
We will never know exactly how it was for the average person, so we might as well dream that it was better. Of course it wouldn't have been heaven, but maybe a bit less complicated at least ?

I wonder if online dating tends to lead to similar impacts to mental health for some groups of people as social media does to teen girls. Just like in Haidt's examples, it's impersonal, phone-based, leading to constant social comparison, feelings of rejection, ostracism and ghosting. I wouldn't be shocked if a few years from now research came out showing that it has similar effects to adults, but they're just better at withstanding it than teens.

This is purely anecdotal with my group of friends, but we all can safely say that we feel mentally so much better when we're not on those apps, and yet the pull is always there when you want to expand your dating reach beyond your immediate circle and you hope that maybe this time around you'll get lucky and find the right partner. As a regular CBT practitioner I can detect many unhealthy conclusions that my mind makes any time I'm on these apps.
Have the candidate interview with their potential teammates really helps. The interviewer will also be more engaged than if they were interviewing for some other random team

I also try to make small talk, have a quick conversation and so on. This has been mostly good except with a couple candidates. They were hasty and basically like ok let’s get to the question

It’s so interesting how groomed candidates are with LeetCode and Sys Design videos. Sometimes when I ask anything off course, like a basic question, it’s like a huge curve ball for some people

>A few weeks ago, someone at Fly threatened to disable a customer's account over Twitter (Alex Graveley, the creator of Github Copilot) because he complained about a minor-version breaking API change. Did anything ever come of that?

I hadn't heard of that, but I think that's an inaccurate characterization based on what I'm seeing of the conversation:

>Alex Graveley: [two deleted tweets]

>Kurt Mackey, Fly CEO: Wow, harsh. It's fair to be upset and an API change. But if you're going to be a dick on twitter you can go ahead and find yourself another vendor.

>Alex: Trying! It's not like this is an isolated event - gave you all a pass the first 4 times.

>Kurt: ok good luck. I'll refund all your payments.

>Alex: I'm sorry, you're kicking me off your platform because I was mean to the company on twitter?

Kurt was telling him that his behavior was unacceptable and that he didn't want to act as Alex's vendor if he didn't correct it. I think it's fine for companies to fire customers that are rude or abusive.

I can understand if Kurt said, "oh yeah? Well I just nuked your account with zero notice!" But it seems like Kurt was giving Alex the opportunity to exit the platform gracefully.

Also, I'd be a little more sympathetic if it was like Andy Jassy crushing a random company's business on AWS because they complained on Twitter. But this is a principal engineer at Microsoft presumably shitting on one of Microsft's underdog cloud competitors because he didn't like his experience using Fly on a pet project, so it's not like there's a huge power imbalance here.
Ah yes, the dark pattern of revealing your interface as bait and then requiring a sign up after clicking "run".

This is a gross, dark, user-hostile UI/UX pattern.
The technique developed seems to work for a larger number of qbits (49). With the current systems, increasing the number of qbits does not lead to an increase in computational performance as the extra qbits introduce more noise than can be compensated by error correction codes.

Here, the authors show a small but significant improvement by increasing the number of qbits thanks to their improved ECC.

Internet access was arguably more equal between rural and urban areas in the late 90s, early 2000s. Few had broadband and dial up was mostly the same regardless where you were living. Most PCs had a CD-ROM drive in 2000. You didn't need good internet to go to a store to pick up a copy of StarCraft, Diablo, Half-Life, Age of Empires, Quake III etc. but you did need a CD-ROM drive and decent PC. I grew up in a rural area too. Most of my friends had games like StarCraft or Diablo too
> When a country plans to seize your assets, the goal should be to leave the country, not remain with hidden cryptos.

Yeah. And someone with a zillion dollars is actually well-placed to help some of those people out, or maybe even help countries avoid that in the first place, although that's pretty tricky.
> because that PPL is also a software engineer?

Not just for that reason. I'm also not bound by the political constraints that union leaders are. They have to pick their battles. I'm free to say whatever I want about this with little risk to my career.

But yes, I think I understand software -- and particularly software risks -- better than most pilots, and I think I understand flying better than most software engineers, so I think that makes my opinion better informed than most. (It is nonetheless just an opinion.)

Based on a different article[1] and the submarine cable map [2][3][4]... Asia Africa Europe 1 (AAE-1) is currently broken between Vietnam and Hong Kong, but presumable is functional from Vietnam to the rest of the cable that travels west (landings in much of southern asia and a couple points in southern Europe). Intra Asia (IA) is broken between Vietnam and Singapore, but it also lands in Hong Kong and the Philipines. SMW3 lands in a lot of places, but is reported to be obsolete.

So, it seems Vietnam no longer has a direct fiber connection to Singapore, and has reduced capacity to Hong Kong. There will likely be some slowdown as Hong Kong and Singapore are both popular locations for data centers.

There's not really an easy fix. Traffic will flow over alternate paths, but repair boats need to go out and locate the ends of the broken cables, bring them up to the surface, splice them back together, and then let them sink again.

Terrestrial cabling tends not to get damaged by ships, and is a lot easier to locate for repairs, but it's hard to run it over mountains and through forests, and you can't run a terrestrial cable from Vietnam to Singapore or the United States.

No, they'll run GAAP statements but everything they report in their earnings calls will be non-GAAP.
These kind of comments are the strangest imho. Do we really need an official declaration to deduce someone who says something as clear as "[I don't have] faith in government that you have currently."? Even if they then claim to be something else -- or even against conservatism -- they still are using the exact same rhetoric GP points out that American conservatives use to unjustly cast doubt on government. It's not helpful to seek out explicit information like this. "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
Doesn't it depend on the #/ distribution of coupons printed/toys manufactured though? To take an extreme example if there are 4 different toys and only 10 of each are manufactured, then the probability of getting 4 all the same is surely somewhat lower than it would be if you assume essentially an infinite toy supply where the chance of getting a particular toy is always 1/4.

Woman actions led to her being imprisoned, why are you blaming the state all of a sudden? State just executes the rules that she knew in advance.

Hey! Sure thing. Our frontend session replay happens in two parts:

1. The HTML DOM Recording using rrweb (https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb)
2. The monkey patching of fetch, xhr, console methods, combined with data from `window.performance`

The rrweb repo has a good in-depth explanation of how the DOM recording works. In short, it captures the full HTML of a page when a user first loads it, then tracks DOM changes via the `MutationObserver` api. From our client, these are all shipped to our backend as serialized events. We process the events per 'user session', storing them temporarily in redis, then compressing a permanent payload once the session no longer is sending new events in the local filesystem or S3.

Monkey patching network and console methods allows us to capture request/response payloads, headers, status code, etc. We then combine that data with the `window.performance` api's notion of network requests to ensure we capture all requests (even ones that happened before our monkey-patch had time to apply), as well as to get precision timing data.

Happy to give more detail about parts of our stack if you're interested!

Portions of the country had REALLY cheap eggs. Before Covid hit, the local stores around here got into a fight with one of the convenience stores and kept dropping prices; it bottomed out somewhere around 29 cents a dozen (limit 5 dozen).
