Exactly.

You can solve any problem by throwing more money (millions of developers). The money is the largest factor in the success or failure of the product of... yours?

When something is constantly true for all objects in the scope of the domain, it is considered tautology and should be dropped from the discussion as it adds nothing.

If reasonableness is equally meaaningless, we can drop it.

Instead, we can look at other properties of programming paradigms.

Hard disagree. Stripe the business decided to cut costs for whatever reasons. While I was shocked the morning of the layoffs, I don't think anyone could have been given a softer landing by the company. I don't think a business needs to be a charity, just as I don't donate my time to the company outside of a normal work week. It's business and I think they handled their business decision very well.
This isn't new, but after a bit of prompt hacking, here's ChatGPT very confidently telling you the wrong height of the Statue of Liberty[1]. I made it off by 20 feet, so there's no way anyone would seriously know.

You keep repeating this old and worn out talking point with no evidence to support it:

> Additionally, Union shops are notoriously poorly run, poorly organized and inefficient. The Union does things to benefit the Union, not the workers, business or public. How do we keep that in check?

Is this just an elaborate sealioning attempt?
Any browser that actively prevents viewing an HTTP site is not fit for purpose. Set secure defaults, absolutely. Show scary warning pages if you insist. But don't prevent legitimate activity entirely.

Without going into tons of nitty-gritty details, the major ones are the number of inputs/channels, size, and price.

Scarlett 2i2 is more than enough for most people, with its 2 channels (both with independently controllable headphone and monitor outputs).

Motu 828, the one listed as semi-pro tier, has 20 input channels.

I suggest reading reviews of each of them, but basically the rule of thumb is that if the review is listing bajillion things that you have no understanding of at all, you don't need that tier and can safely move to the tier below.

No shame in that at all. Even the home/hobby level of audio equipment today is functionally crazy, and priced insanely cheap compared to just a couple decades ago.

I don't know why you assume I was rude about it. I phrased it all equivalently to how you said. A lot of my background was in tech services so I'm very well practiced in asking these kind of questions. They pretty much waved off all of them saying it wasn't relevant.
I agree with you that the purpose is to control the person, not the language—the language here being just a tool or means of control. This was made very popular in 1984 (I feel stupid just mentioning this reference but it seems impossible not to).

However, one problem here is that, when faced with this affirmative-that these people are trying to control you-I think many well-meaning persons will say ”you’re exaggerating”. That’s because I think that most of the time, the people who propose these rules (and the more passive ones who agree with them blindly) actually really believe they are doing a good thing-they strongly believe that they know better than you what you should say. I have to assume this because, if not, if I assume they are only just trying to control me, period, I’ll feel like I am wearing the same aluminum foil hat that they are using.

As such, it is important to understand that yes, they are trying to control you, and no, maybe they don’t realize this, because their moral superiority complex is just too deeply rooted. By understanding this you can be more broadly aware that these attempts of control will come from other directions than language (artistic taste, sexual preferences, behavior in general, political beliefs, etc.)

What really screws up the entire thing is that, their belief is so deeply rooted that, the next step of their logic then becomes: if they were so nice to inform you and educate you about the right way to behave, then why is it that now that you know the truth you still insist on not practicing it? The only conclusion is that you must be ill-intentioned on purpose.

Goodwill impairment means, in a nutshell, they think they paid too much to acquire.
You are following the explanation for the bans as they are told.

R134a was introduced in the 90's, and in 2010's it conveniently is named bad at the same time the patent runs out.

So the savior was the 4x as expensive R1234yf, introduced 2012. Don't worry that it's flammable.

Here we are 10 years after R1234yf, it's time to explain why it can't be used anymore!
Don't say that out loud.

Clearly nobody is suggesting that on average men flock towards more dangerous higher paying professions which until recently also meant higher wages.

I would say it's more about low empathy and ability to scrutinize their beliefs. This is very often paired with a nice dose of narcissism which makes them think that everyone else is an idiot and has flawed thinking, while they're immune to it.
On the one hand, 3% cc fees are much higher than what would be set by a competitive market and are only possible with an oligopoly. On the other hand, the convenience that they allow for not carrying cash is often worth more than the 3% to consumers/merchants like me. E.g. any online payment. So while it's massively overpriced, it's still a win win usually, and I think that's probably why people aren't madder about it.

People do have some degree of lifelong injuries from high school football though at around the same age.

I wonder if monkey bars worsen that kind of thing be creating a culture of risk acceptance, making it socially awkward to say "No i won't climb that, no I won't lift that with no hand truck, and I'm certainly not joining the football team".

Rather than teaching people how to manage risk, could it be teaching people TO manage risk as opposed to just rejecting it entirely if it's not necessary?
It's just as valid as a non-silly post.

If you get rid of time zones, people will replace them with an ad hoc system that does most of the same things but worse. The current implementation could be improved some, but time zones in general are close to the least worst option.
I agree that the parent comment kinda misses the point that social isolation is bad for you. But "we're not designed to process the information avalanche of the modern age" does make me squint.

My intuition tells me that cavemen probably had worse quality of life (experience-wise) than modern humans.

Information input risen drastically long time ago, what was it, three thousand years from "here, this is a knife, you cut here" to a full blown education system?

I think our brain elasticity is good enough to handle much much more before it overloads (or whatever are the consequences of "unnatural" amount of information).
> The nice thing about cucumber is I can come back to a test a year later and instantly understand what it’s testing for at a requirements level vs. having to reason through the gnarly details of what it actually does, then work backwards to the original requirement.

Yeah, its good to point out that the people who need to think in Business Requirements rather than implementation detail terms are, often the same people, at different moments, especially on smaller teams (or teams that do something closer to Manifesto-and-principles-Agile, rather than bureaucratic-cargo-cult-Agile.)

Obviously no Astronaut is going to miss their teams daily standup call over this.

But it’s already an issue for gps satellite precision and if you want to go into precise scientific experiments it’s probably also an issue, especially once we get into long-term experiments. Not to speak off a manned base.

So it makes sense to consider what can be done - and a defined lunar timezone with a known (tough changing) offset would not be the worst of all options.

I think it'd be a bit easier to care what is being talked about if it didn't involve spitting vitriol at every involved and uninvolved.

I don't know how people can acknowledge that there is problems around the act of performing science, like suppression of results, P hacking, poor sample sizes, poor sampling, not correctly blinding trials, not handling other conflicting factors correctly, the replication crisis, having to note conflict of interest, etc, bringing into question a far chunk of conclusions.
But as soon as one says that that might cause an issue with areas that modern forms of science rarely touch on, (e.g. race), suddenly science is pure, 100% factual, based completely on indisputable evidence, and only idiots ever question the science!
If a business can't come to a basic working agreement with its workers, then of course it has to shut down.

That's actually a good question, accessibility testing is meant for blind people, so what I will be testing is whether the component on the screen is readable by the screen reader. For example, one company that really makes all their apps accessible to the blind is Apple, every component, every gesture you could possible make sighted or otherwise is described by the screen reader (VoiceOVer). One company that has a poor accessibility, in other hand, is Chipotle. In my iPhone whenever I am using to order from the Chipotle app, I have to use the magnify the screen to see my remaining vision, otherwise VoiceOver won't tell me what the menu says. I am surprised Chipotle hasn't been sued for this since the app is straight up not accessible to totally blind people.

One other fast food company that has a really good accessibility (at least in iOS) is Mcdonallds, every menu item is described extensively, and I could order anything blindfolded. Hey, Chipotle, follow McDonald's path and Apple, and make your app accessible, otherwise some blind guy will sue you in a federal court for not offering accessible shop for your restaurants.
> They'll continue to turn up the dial on all the race/gender/sex preference things as they have since Occupy.

Exactly, they want the focus to be on divides within the working class and away from the labor/capital class divide. This is why corporate DEI messaging is frequently very accusatory and divisive; the point is to make workers feel uncomfortable among themselves, and therefore, less likely to organize. It's designed to make workers walk on eggshells around each other.

Interactive Data Frames Powered by Foundation Models
We (a few PhD students at Stanford Hazy Research) just released an open-source Python library called [Meerkat](http://meerkat.wiki) where we built an interactive data frame powered by foundation models to wrangle unstructured data (images, videos, text docs...).

Unstructured data is rich, diverse, complex, and pervasive which also makes it incredibly challenging to visualize, interact with, and use. We think large foundation models (FMs) like GPT-3 or CLIP will change this by allowing us to directly operate on such data. FMs are improving rapidly in their ability to read, interpret and generate unstructured text, images, even videos.

The main problem is that FMs need to be controlled, and made more reliable as a software abstraction. Right now, it's like you're on a ship in a storm, and you're fighting the waves without a steering wheel. We felt that a lot of existing tools (think pandas or even Streamlit) were tailored to structured data, and weren't really well suited to the new challenges that are emerging in this paradigm.

We built Meerkat to help. Meerkat systematically combines data frames with FMs and interactivity in a way that preserves the flexibility of FMs with added control. We aren't trying to reinvent the wheel, and we're hoping that we can lean on familiar interfaces like data frames while bringing something new to the table.

If you're interested in details, you can read more about Meerkat on our research blog: https://hazyresearch.stanford.edu/blog/2023-03-01-meerkat. We've also got a few demos you can check out:

I have the opposite question from other people in the thread - this seems pretty open-ended.

Just as an example, I do bioinformatics work, and "technical system" for someone I'm interviewing (as I understand your question) might encompass any of:

- a workflow manager: how it works under the hood, common patterns for modularity/reuse or configuration

- a specific pipeline: the stages of cleaning and quantifying raw data, the rationale for various stages and the tools chosen to execute them (including how to benchmark various methods against each other)

- a specific third-party tool: theoretical details of the algorithm, practical considerations for when to apply one over another

- familiarity with common general-purpose packages or APIs (e.g. pandas, numpy, scikit-learn)

- QC: common metrics for QC'ing various experimental data, how to decide if data is "good enough", how to troubleshoot biological vs technical (lab) vs technical (computational) sources of error

- biology: technical details of an experiment, the technologies generating the data, or the underlying biology

- data analysis: how to choose and make relevant figures, any of many data-science/ML topics (e.g. clustering), connecting data to relevant domain questions

- devops: data storage/management on HPC or cloud, HPC job schedulers, any of many cloud topics (e.g. IAC, setting up a database or cloud execution of a pipeline)

I'm more curious about how you guide a candidate towards selecting a system that gives you the most relevant perspective on their thinking and skillset - do you provide any suggestions, or are there typically pretty evident choices based on the role?
Bitbucket used to fall over for monorepos. Sometimes it would fall into a death spiral, sometimes it would attribute PRs and commits to the wrong engineers (!!!) Not sure if that's still the case, but it was awful working with it.

It's the same every time. When Apple gets called out for monopolistic anti-consumer behaviour, an army shows up to defend Apple with a bunch of FUD.

No, it won't hurt you or your grandma that you can choose app store, choose browser engine, choose payment provider, that you can charge with usb c, etc., and in this case that non-apple users won't be mocked with different colored bubbles and other limitations. Every concern is either blown out of proportions or can easily be solved with the slightest bit of willpower.

Choice leads to better competition and thus better products whereas lock-in leads to complacency and stagnancy.
The difficulty these days is the volume. Rory Stewart (an ex-MP) mentioned on his podcast recently that one of his predecessors in his seat in IIRC the 1950s got about 5 letters a week to deal with; when Rory was an MP in the 2010s he was getting over 20,000 emails a year. It's much easier to have a personal touch in correspondence at 5 a week!
Any analogy is incorrect if you stretch it enough, otherwise it wouldn't be an analogy...

My clock analogy works up to this: ChatGPT success in factually answering a query is merely a happy coincidence, so it does not work well as a primary source of facts. Exactly like... a broken clock. It correctly tells the time twice a day, but it does not work well as a primary source of time keeping.

Please don't read more deeply into the analogy than that :)

Pre-programmed common stuff sure which many games do as they can tell where you are, vehicle in and any weapons used etc, steal a (police car|military jet|ambulance) etc and they can craft scenarios using audio for those but for more natural random somewhat unpredictable stuff you would have endless combinations that need to be accounted for. It would have to act in response to a bunch of actions so not feasible.

A good example is Mortal Kombat where each character has several lines for every OTHER character (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L85QApISlvA) they are about to fight, that's a LOT of voice work as opposed to using the character lore and their history and or relationship with the opponent to come up with something fresh that's (witty|snarky|sad) to say etc.

> When you ship js you can't guarantee the version of Ecmascript that the client will be running, or the standard library of DOM functions that will be available (which differ slightly from browser to browser), so you end up transpiling your code to the least common denominator.

Isn't that the same as shipping native binaries? You don't know what version OS or libraries it will run on. That's why you do stuff like link with the oldest glibc you want to to support.

The way it typically fall aparts for my candidates is I ask about optimizations, they say X could be cached, then I ask about cache invalidation and lo and behold, it didn't even occur to them that the cache needs to be invalidated at some point, so they blurt something along the lines of doing the entire expensive operation again and checking it against the cache, or something similarly nonsensical.
