Would you say the same thing coming straight out of college with $0 in your bank account, student loan debt and no experience?

As I said in another reply, I could afford to ignore BigTech recruiters at 45 making about as much as a returning intern makes where I work now. I already had the big house in the burbs, retirement savings, a family and a son graduating from high school.

I would never tell a new college grad to ignore the same recruiters I did.

I could and can take jobs I enjoy, actively run away from promotions, etc.
I don't think it requires explicit conspiring. I don't think the corporate executives who make decisions are necessarily aware of this effect. For the most part, it's probably a case of "this strategy seems to have been working so far, or at least it's not a problem, so let's keep doing it... And the people over at McKinsey insist this is the right way."
> At least the reason why we have Leetcode questions is because Google did the research and came to the conclusion that those are were good at algorithms ended up being more successful at Google

Isn't the story more complex than that? I certainly didn't just get leetcode questions when I interviewed there, and when I asked, the interviewer said the group hadn't been happy with hires that only knew algorithms.
I saw a lot of this in my school. This is a great way to cause lifelong and generational harm to families.
There was a really great podcast called The Downtime Project that dissected and discussed a postmortem in each episode. There were like a dozen episodes in the first season and they never did make a second one. Pity, I really, really liked it. Might be up your alley, it's only a couple years out of date now.
I believe I had read that the GUS was preferable for Second Reality, and coming from the Amiga it seemed like the cooler hardware, so that’s what I bought.
my word was "temperature" and my "voltage" attempt gave a distance of 46, so I was biased and finally gave up. I will try again another day
> Bun only has basic transpiring currently. I can't imagine what "everything" is, and without bundling, minification, and down-transpiling support I don't see how any meaningful project could have been tested on.

Yeah, build/bundling use cases have lagged in priority. I’ll rephrase “everything” as “every transpiling use case”.

> Source? AFAIK claiming either "bun devs made a lot of JSC perf optimization PRs" or "bun devs pointed perf hot spots to JSC devs" would be incorrect

Jarred’s Twitter has been frequently highlighting these contributions. This seems like a weird thing to object to if you’re so familiar with the project!
Are you maybe accidentally White Knight-ing here?

> In fact, you may be doing a disservice to yourself by filtering out slow thinkers or neurodivergent candidates that are likely to not shine thinking on their feet.

Yes, yes, 1000x yes. I was recently rejected after two technical interviews from a company that my former principal engineer that I worked directly under had referred me to. The position was to work under them again, which is why they referred me. The feedback I got from the recruiter was that it wasn’t the result they had expected, and I hadn’t achieved a specific number on their technical assessment. My understanding of this after some discussion was that the lower score was due to my speed in answering the leetcode style questions in the live interview with another engineer.

Here’s the secret I never brought up with the company while interviewing: In high, school, college, and for the CPA exam, I received accommodations for extended time and testing in isolation to reduce distractions from my ADHD. With those accommodations bringing me up to an even playing field with a neurotypical test taker, I was able to get into a good university, graduate with a bachelors and masters at the top of my class, and pass all four sections of the CPA exam on my first attempt. In the real working world, I have never needed extended time. I always deliver what is asked of me on time while I have witnessed neurotypicals show up to meetings with their work majorly behind.

I have always hesitated to bring this up with companies because I fear they will make the incorrect assumption that extended time on testing implicates that I will be a slower worker, which I have not found to be the case. I don’t want to introduce any biases for the interviewer to pick up. For whatever reason, testing with pressures absolutely slows down my thinking. In the real world, I have found when I face particularly tough problems, I find solutions after going on a 15 minute walk outside or while taking a shower in the morning. You cannot test for that style of problem solving in these high intensity algorithm technical interviews.

I certainly miss having a CPA license as evidence that I was a competent individual from my previous accounting career, which allowed all parties to skip technical questions in the interview and instead focus on fit for both sides. The software engineering industry suffers from too great of an emphasis on absolute performance levels in my opinion. To pass a section of the CPA exam, one needs to score a minimum of 75. What do you call an accountant that passed every section of the CPA exam with 75s? A CPA.
It was added in the hopes that automated headline scanners would hit on it, then do sentiment analysis on the attached story (negative) and automatically sell DUOL stock pushing the price down.

For some reason this would be beneficial to OP.
There is no such thing as "what science says". There is only evidence that support hypotheses.
Wow I’m glad somebody is finally quantifying why the steam deck has terrible CPU performance. I thought it might be the tiny cache.

Many older games struggle to hit a consistent 60 FPS due to CPU limitations. With some testing you can usually figure out which options are mostly bottlenecked by the CPU.

There are some games, like Fallout 3, that will chug down towards 30 FPS in busy areas regardless of settings :/
From the article: "My conclusion is that there are major, well-justified reasons for why people strongly dislike functional languages. The hypothesis I aim to test with a new programming language is: By making different tradeoffs, these issues can be mitigated and a more broadly-appealing functional language can be built. With such a language, I hope that the true promise of functional programming for parallel computing can be widely realized."

It's a laudable aim, and I wish you all the best with it. A new language with it's own 'zen', similar to the 'zen of python' but with a functional flavour, is something I'd love to see, and I think it'd do well.

Is there something I can read that's a little more specific about the "different tradeoffs" you have in mind?
No modern high-performance motor that needs speed control uses electric power directly from a battery or the mains: it always goes through an electronic controller of some kind, which uses transistors to generate the necessary waveforms at the required voltage. Whether the motor itself is a permanent magnet motor or an inductance motor doesn't really matter; they each have strengths and weaknesses, but they both need electronic controllers.
During the 2020 election cycle, the obvious inevitability of massive AI-driven unemployment was being presented as a reason that everyone with a brain had to support UBI.
Banning TikTok, which can be seen as a tool for the Chinese government to actively collect data in real time about American citizens, and a static book like 1984, is absolutely not the same.

But I wonder if it is because masculine boys aren't bullied as much as more feminine boys are. The same can be said for "tomboy" girls, I am sure.

I admit to that being pulled out of a hat, but it was my first thought before discovering it was a broken link. "Endorse" is such a weird word to use for this that I probably got it wrong.

I was trying a couple of months ago to write a pascal compiler for the '816. Just trying to come up with a decent strategy for code generation was a massive pain in the neck.
AHA1542CPs are available for cheap. You can splurge and get the best ISA SCSI card to be had.
Real means, not BS. Real means intervention studies. Observational studies can be hypothesis generating, but you cannot derive definitive conclusions from them. Only through intervention studies, you can be definitively sure about the causality.

Most observational studies simply report spurious correlations, and cannot be trusted --- especially when "reverse causality" is a strong possibility. That is people who are healthier and fitter tend to exercise more, therefore they experience less disease, death etc.

Only by taking sedentary individuals, and coaching them to exercise significantly more, and comparing with a control group, you can be sure of the causal benefits.
Plenty of books are seen as foreign propaganda tools. In some cases they explicitly are that. This still doesn't give the government the right to ban them.
Maybe they meant later as in they'll discuss it in the future
There was a rumor that it was for…someone else with a very square logo…but that project fell through.

Honestly, at this point he should try to sell the drive to someone for a fraction of the money.
How can you tell in advance?

Whats the iatrogenic rate for use of SSRI and other interventions?

"first do no harm" carries huge burdens. Sometimes, harm is unavoidable because doing nothing itself represents the potential for harm to emerge and if its a conscious choice, you did something: you decided not to do something else.
It has very good usability if you notice how it's different from nearly any other commonly used languages.

Values semantics and only fixed size stack variables.
Was hoping to read an answer like this, rather than the same old computer bullshit everyone else is rambling on about.
Yes. thats exactly it. Maybe its a term which has fallen out of use?
That's because the REPL has the additional restriction of requiring a definition (or any top level indented block) to end with an blank line. This restriction does not apply when running code from a file.
Putting it in a TOS is one thing, how is it enforced?

Also, it’s trivial to book a room at a hotel and have someone else check in under the reservation as long as you put them on the guest list. I’ve done it before. Not sure how this is fraud.
I m sure the lawmakers and the (surely many) committees that drafted those plans will return the money spent on compensation, traveling, dining and wining etc etc.
I believe the exact configuration of the Van Gogh APU is custom designed for Valve. There are very similar APUs but this exact chip is not used in laptops.
Hey, one of these articles about “Elon’s Twitter isn’t paying its bills” finally said the quiet part out loud:

“…AWS is not willing to renegotiate the five-and-a-half year contract it signed with Twitter in 2020 … contract required Twitter to pay $510m over that period … signed when Twitter was expecting to [use AWS heavily], but that never occurred … meaning that Twitter is not fully making use of the contract. … Twitter [paid] $10m in AWS costs a few weeks ago … at least $70 million still outstanding…”

“Twitter uses Google Cloud to a greater degree … its own five-year contract worth $1bn … Twitter is up to date on payments”

So a $0.5bn contract for the cloud that apparently just serves Twitter Spaces, and a $1bn contract for the cloud that serves the rest of Twitter. “Not fully making use of that contract” indeed, I wonder what the actual utilization metrics say. We can guess: the article claims Twitter paid $10m while owing at least $80m, so this means Twitter is using at most 1/8th of the capacity. That’s very close to single-digit-percentage utilization - I understand why Amazon is avoiding re-negotiating that contract, it’s literally free money. Non-payment will certainly bring them back to the negotiating table.

Reporting on Twitter’s other non-payments of rent, services, etc. has been more careful to not hint at the reason for non-payment. After all, when someone’s being evasive about paying the rent, we all know it’s because they don’t have the money.
I was always interested why Dolphin (wii and GameCube) emulator would chug on the steam deck. Very frequent single digit fps drops. My 2013 MacBook Air on Linux plays with 0 drops.
But Musk says he was going to get rid of all the bots and trolls!
Leave a 1 star review, it’ll be a learning experience for them. You’d be surprised how competitive hosts are for those ratings.
you made a throwaway account to post this? Was this too hot a take for your real account ?
> why would you use Rust for that kind of coding??

Why people keep asking that? Rust is a very good language even if you don't care about safety at all and barely care about the speed. Value semantics gives you completely unique capabilities when working with complex objects. It fits all applications.
> worthless without data afterwards to prove that their selection process results in high performance

> Google did the research

Did they? Where is the proof? Pot, Kettle, black
> 2. Do you use a home ISP connection, or a commercial ISP connection? A "home ISP connection" here usually comes with a dynamic IP address; you can't get your hands on a static address without paying a very large amount monthly or getting a commercial connection.

Weirdly, most of the ISP's I've had on the NBN here in Australia were happy to give me a static IPv4 address for free (and my current one will set you up an IPv6 /56 block, but its beta apparently).
No. I don’t know how to say it more clearly.

The vast majority of people I’ve hired want to be happy, and I have completely qualitative conclusions from having hired such developers for decades: It works well for everyone.

If you want a job at FAANG badly enough to suffer it, go for it. But don’t ask me validate “that’s what everyone is doing”. It’s not — you’ve been sold a bill of goods, or you’re greedy. Either way, you be you.
The point of homework is to help you learn the material. Okay, you didn't happen to need it. The point of _requiring_ the homework is so that the students who do need it actually do it and get something from the class. It has to be worth enough for they typicals to not total shirk it.
Ultimately because of the Protestant Work Ethic, the belief that labour is inherently good and so if people aren't working this is a moral failing.

You will see this in government programmes that assert the goal is that people have jobs, any assistance on offer is temporary, until they get jobs, and the programmes are very, very reluctant to accept that some people aren't able to work, let alone that many people don't want to work.

The PWE suits many of the wealthy and powerful, who would prefer that the poor must do what they say or starve - and so it isn't questioned. But as the actual value of more human labour falls to zero, this whole idea doesn't work. Countries should have been preparing for this for decades, but like climate change it'll start to have horrible effects before they actually take serious steps to tackle it, and like climate change it'll hurt the poorest first and most of all.

There's a lot of money to be made, shovelling back the tide.
It’s on a completely different level today and it’s not even close. How many babies are born out of wedlock? Now multiply that by a huge number to get the number aborted. It’s massively different than it was. Rates too I’m sure. Sex without consequences has been the siren song of the last 60+ years and for good reason if you take care.

And I didn’t say it’s a solution because it’s not. It’s good advice for various reasons but it needs to be supplemented with lots of knowledge on how to protect yourself too.
I’ve found that forcing games to run at above native resolutions can help quite a bit. The aliasing that happens at the native res can be pretty bad even with high AA settings depending on the implementation.

Also, the deck tends to have GPU headroom due to the awful CPU performance so you can do it for free usually.
Perhaps the point was that representation syntactically of something which can't actually be promised by the engine underneath is a false equivalence to a language which does support it?

Coding to yield() on a framework which doesn't support tail recursion might (for example) loop to infinity.

Coding to immutability which cannot be guaranteed, means you may return false results.
Probably no chance of it being converted to comic book format, to reach different audiences either. ;)

Michigan. It was just an unofficial holiday. But I'm still in the upper midwest, and there things you don't try to get done during rifle season.
I bet nearly 100% of web apps would benefit from increased performance in npm install, typescript and webpack compilation
Nope, that would totally work.
Yeah pretty early on I realized that I didn’t like playing demanding games on it for a few reasons - screen quality, fan noise, and CPU performance. It’s mostly smaller indie games and emulation for me.
I had the first Gravis Ultrasound and I loved that card so much. I think I had the PnP version also later. Too bad the sound card industry kind of died when basic audio got good enough on motherboards.
Of course, you could just simulate a Game Boy Color directly on the MiSTer.
So if I make a significant and lifelong intervention of exercise, I still have 5/6 chance of dying prematurely. No thanks.
> I should probably get some kind of cloud-based / encrypted backup thing going as well. I don't claim that my current backup system is very good.

I recommend Backblaze B2 - $5 / TB, and supports s3's api.
I had fun doing this until I had kids.

I have a rack with 10gbe, ups, kubernetes a zfs storage server, multiple vlans, 4 unifi APs & locally hosted controller and all sorts of self-hosted stuff.

My heart breaks slightly as I watch things slowly degrade and break down due to bit-rot and version creep, I now wish I had a synology, flat network and cloud everything possible.

There are days when the kids can't watch a particular movie and I find out it's because a particular kube component failed (after an hour of root-causing) because I haven't touched it in 2 years. I then have regrets about my life choices. Sometimes the rack starts beeping while I'm working and I realise the UPS batteries are due for replacement because it's been 4 years. I silence the alarm and get back to the production issue at work, knowing it'll beep at me again in 30 days. I'll still be too busy to fix it. It doesn't help that in Australia the ambient can get to 45 degrees C pushing disks and cpus to their limits.

Just sharing a different perspective...
I kept on hitting this situation with my wife, so we came up with a "magic" question:

"Do you want reassurance, potential solutions, or my honest feelings?"

It works really well for us!

That argument hasn’t really aged badly though. People do still study math in school..you still need to learn arithmetic. Not because you’ll necessarily need to be able to arithmetic without a calculator, but for the cognitive skills it’s training you in
So then you would need to do some kind of mesh simplification that also preserves the topology, that makes sense.

I'm not quite sure I understand what they are describing in 2.3.1, are they scaling those small gradient magnitudes larger to try to "pull" you into those holes faster?

I was thinking the a way to go about it would be to just increase the "mesh resolution" near the small hole, which in this case would be use a larger precision in the area local to the hole.
So the trouble is, there's a lot more than 10m people outside the labor force of the relevant countries - that's true even if you only consider people who are actually in those countries, let alone the people who live in other countries who have not migrated there. The trick is figuring out which 10 million of those people are the ones who would have been participating in that labor force.
There's a world of difference between a writing which may have "dangerous ideas" (in someone's opinion), and a communications tool which actively spies on its users.
The inconvenient truth is that most S&P 500 firms pass the ESG screener so an ESG fund performs about the same as an S&P 500 fund. You just pay more fees. ESG funds don't take hard lines such as "Using Facebook is like smoking cigarettes and it is poorly governed because nobody can tell Zuck what to do" and do the right thing.

Anti-ESG funds will invest in the crumbs that are left and be very volatile and will have even higher fees. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. As depressing as it is, it's hard to justify investing in anything other than SPY or QQQ (or generic equivalents) for most people.
At this point I would just contact the bank for a chargeback. It would be a cold day in hell before I rolled over and lost $1,000 for something like this.
Why would the ACLU speak up on Amber Heard's side? It seemed pretty obvious that she was the worse party there, but still it was basically a domestic dispute, not a civil liberties issue.
Or just lie about also staying there. Say "yes, I will be staying there as primary customer", go there give the keys to your sister and that's the end of the story.

Seriously, I am renting a place from you for 2-3 days for $1000, it's none of your goddamn business who's staying there. It's mine for 2-3 days to do as I please, as long as it's not trashed and neighbors don't complain.
> I'm unconvinced that a very profitable company will decide to pay less than it can afford

They are not o
paying maximum of what they cam afford, they are making huge profits.

If they are not paying maximum that they can afford what are they paying? Provavly the minimum they think they can get away with.

Its all mind games.
That paper is somewhat vague. I get the impression that they're talking around something, but I'm not familiar enough with the field to know what they're talking around.
My take away was that the reduced performance of natively trained models was more about numerical instability related to training process than a statement about limitations of low precision models.
