I was one of the richer kids in what was one of the more "bohemian" houses, as another commenter referred to them. Page was actually toward the top of the wealth spectrum when I was there (recently). There was also a lot of wealth disparity within each house, too, by the way.

However, the signals are more subtle than you think. Things like being happy to go out to eat on weekends, having a big wardrobe, having technical toys, and having a car (at all) were all signs of wealth. A few particular sports were also indicators. "Rich people cars" are usually not given to kids in their 20's, even by wealthy parents.

More subtly, there are a lot of social things, like asking what your parents do and asking about your last vacation. Most rich kids know how to read the room enough not to brag about expensive vacations directly, but will ask assuming you recently had one. Having parents who fly in for things and flying out for short vacations is a dead giveaway.

Also, at Caltech in particular, being well-read was a sign of wealth, but I assume that doesn't translate to non-science schools.

And it would never come up in rotation, but certain house cultures just are more attractive to certain types of people. I think that's the source of the disparity, not any sort of rotation-related thing.
Try installing algovpn it’s pretty much a turnkey wireguard installation, lots of tutorials on YouTube.

I would advise against setting up wireguard manually.
In this space I highly recommend the book "Kill It With Fire".
I also recently lost $3050 to Airbnb and a terrible host in London. The listing was wrong (including the address), but both Airbnb and the host didn't want to refund my long term stay and dragged it to force me to stay. I am still fighting it through my bank to no avail :(
Yes luckily we are dual citizens
I agree, and for the record I wasn’t referring to just elite schools.
Some cities have aparthotels which can be a reasonable compromise. They can have similarly poorly kitted out kitchens to many Airbnbs, but you don’t have to do your own housekeeping and you are dealing with an experienced business.
Sure, but job isn't to write Homebrew either, so it just seems like a bad example all around.

(I'm not sure Homebrew is all that well engineered, actually. Hard to tell, but I've had trouble with it and avoid it.)

I think what it comes down to is that nobody really knows what to interview for.
I'm picturing "Claire" swinging a knife every time "she" says "Chris".

"Hello Chris [stab] might I ask Chris [stab] if you wish Chris [stab] to be scammed today Chris [stab]? That's wonderful Chris [stab] but I'm afraid Chris [stab] that I am required to scam you Chris [stab] by my boss Chris [stab] nothing personal Chris [stab] it's fine Chris [stab]."
Silicon Valley scum relies on a lot of people not knowing their rights to open a dispute/chargeback. Seems to be a winning strategy considering even on here most people don’t seem to be aware of this option.
I bought one just for Second Reality.
I’m sure that makes the Uighur sleep better at night.

Suing someone across state lines for a small amount like 1k is not really worth it in most scenarios if the host is the one that tries to sue you. If its air bnb i don't think a jury would find they deserve the money if it was cancelled within 1 hour of booking due to a misunderstanding.
I would absolutely go stay in the Airbnb myself regardless where it is.
The following quote is food for thought for people who have been wondering whether AI development needs to be regulated:

"I would love to understand better what’s driving all of this—what’s driving the virality. Like, honestly, we don’t understand. We don’t know."
idk, i'd feel morally duplicitous engaging in plausibly-deniable damages to someone else's property. i'd rather just steal all their lightbulbs or burn the place to the ground. but that's just me.

the nice thing about this strategy is that _you_ don't have to do any of it. because eventually, they'll try to fuck me.
Uhh - I came ready to blame Airbnb as I no longer use them. However - you obviously can’t do third party bookings and if a host has had third party booking issues (Airbnb will not cover these at all) I think hosts will have a very negative reaction to a third party booking.

Maybe blame Airbnb for not being clearer, but the profile photo / ID verification stuff is designed for the guest.

Do people do third party dating or car reservations etc?
Got it. Sounds like the distinction hinges on how one defines “discussion”

To your point at the end: the dictionary on iOS defines discussion as “a conversation or debate about a certain topic”

I can certainly agree that therapy is a guided discussion :)
The other side's argument will be they cancelled the reservation and issued a refund under the agreed policy (so, partial refund only)
I don't think I would want to ever use Airbnb after that experience so charging back would be worth it.
ADT's in TypeScript aren't as nice as in a language that supports them natively in many respects, but "PITA" is really overselling it. We use them pervasively at my shop. In fact, the ability to synthesize them without naming them (because TypeScript is structurally-typed instead of nominally) sometimes makes them even more convenient than in most FP languages (OCaml excepted) - the ability to, say, return an ad-hoc ADT from a lambda without giving it some meaningless name like "HelperFunctionResult" can occasionally be really handy.
What an absurd argument. Social scoring doesn't get computer by hand on paper because it isn't efficient to do so. Introduce automation and it suddenly becomes practical. Same with mass surveillance and a bunch of other stuff, eg scams: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35033971

the amplification factor works for the good and for the bad, so you need to focus just on the bad

That's just hand-waving. You have no plan for dealing with bad things, but you are worried about the loss of good things. This is not so different from saying you want to cash in on opportunity, the wholly predictable downsides of the opportunity are just someone else's problem. Guess what, nobody wants that problem so it just festers in proportion to the enthusiasm with which people chase the upside.
The amazing thing is all these lunar lander games are harder than actually landing the lunar lander that landed on the moon. That's right it used a computer stabilized system and featured a fully automatic landing program however every lander was actually landed in the semi automatic mode where the pilot controlled the descent but the attitude was still maintained by computer.
Why would you want to keep using a service that just ripped you off anyway?
I think the issue with AirBnB is they are trying to be the cheap low maring option. They rent individual rooms, etc. I think that's where all the terrible customer service comes from.

Perhaps most of their hosts can barely pay expenses and so they do all these sorts of cheats to avoid going broke? Perhaps AirBnB is just desperate for inventory and lets too much stuff slide on both the customer and vendor sides of the marketplace?

Anyway, I have had great experiences with VRBO, which is a bit more expensive generally, and always got a refund if there was a significant issue.
OP said you opposed federal funding here. Pell Grants are federal funding. Accurate descriptions aren't straw men.

OP expressed disapproval of the fact "that public funds can go to private schools like Harvard."

I tried to guess what OP might mean, but it appears you have found those guesses insulting. So, assuming you think similarly, why don't you just clear it up so we aren't left guessing? What are the specific changes to federal law you propose as an alternative?
It’s not a straw man when poor kids do literally use federal grant programs to attend Harvard. It’s not a distortion or exaggeration of the original objection that federal monies went to Harvard.
Presumably local laws apply. I don’t have any idea whether fees like that would be allowed in Japan.
>they only care what skills/experience/accomplishments you have made there

they only care what skills/experience/accomplishments you can bring to the table compared to other applicants.

Edit.

I should add, that during times like this, interviews should be seen as intelligence gathering exercises.

I've seen companies employee people just to pump them for contacts and knowledge of procedures or processes before laying them off within the trial period with no real intention of employing them.

So the smart employee will drip this sort of info after the trial period, they dont hand all their previous knowledge over on day 1.

And this can happen to anyone at any level because everyone gets exposed to confidential knowledge which is advantageous , especially if working in the same business sectors.

Likewise some companies will have major problems they cant solve or holding back the company, so getting in staff from rival businesses is an opportunity to solve what existing staff cant, which can increase the capital or leverage of new staff.

These situations are highly fluid times, always have a contingency because some events will be out of some peoples control.
None, but I have written code that requires more data structure and algorithm knowledge than inverting a binary tree (at my job).
> that all its components

I didn’t say all of its components, I said components making use of GPL licensed components or code. His math code could totally be licensed MIT, depending on how the program is put together. His UI code is inextricably derivative of QT though — you can’t separate the two. So even if that code itself could be licensed MIT (which is not clear to me), practically speaking, it can only be used alongside the GPL component and thus in a GPL work.

In some few situations, I suppose the distinction could matter, though.
My understanding is that "&" is actually a ligature of "Et". You can kind of see it if you squint your eyes!
I don't use Airbnb since they did a background check (which I guess I agreed to at some point) and then banned me when my record came back. I thought that was strange since it's up to the host if they want your record checked, I think, and instead of preventing me from reserving that particular listing, they banned me for life. It doesn't seem to matter how long ago the offense was, and it also seems pretty indiscriminate with regards to the type of offense as well.

Oddly enough, I can usually go to VRBO and rent the exact same properties, or go to any hotel.
Had more or less the same situation. My flight got cancled some 8 hours after my AirBNB booking. Story is similar, host refused to refund "no refund policy" and AirBNB trying to blame the host. In the end I went to PayPal, as I used them for payment. Opened up a ticket, explained the situation and after 5 days I received a full refund. AirBNB afterwards sent some two horribly translated E-Mails to me, explaining I might loose my account blabla, but nothing happend. Still I stopped using them.
> By implication, you are also arguing that all the companies running these programs don't believe the things they're saying, but rather have been coerced into saying them

I'm arguing no such thing. Hiring of people that espouse and practice DEI has been legally incentivized. Whether they believe in them or not doesn't matter, and after the law got the ball rolling (and made sure it stays rolling even in companies that otherwise wouldn't cooperate), it's perfectly likely lots of true believers would also join.

In fact, I implied the opposite in my root comment ("plus positive-reinforcement as the alumni of these institutions take up influential positions in society"), which you would have known if you weren't busy coming up with the most bad-faith interpretation of my words that you could find.

> a legal threat so amorphous that we can't come up with a single instance of it happening

I literally linked to a legal case of it happening in my root comment. Unless you want a lawsuit specifically about a missing DEI program, something which I never claimed, and already explained so.

> a correlation between the deployment of DEI programs and the number of discrimination lawsuits.

Here's the number of discrimination lawsuits - you'll notice the upward trend, though it's only for '78-'06: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/total-number-of-civil-ca...

And you'll find a graph of HR departments in https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/woke-institutions-is-j... - you probably missed it in your hurry to dismiss the author as an overt racist (a claim for which you presented no evidence).

Notice how both trend upwards, therefore are correlated. Unfortunately I don't think there's a graph like that specifically for DEI programs, as "equity" itself is a word that only recently became fashionable. And I couldn't find a graph showing the proportion of companies with generic diversity programs either. A crucial weakness in my argument, that will allow a motivated reader such as yourself to dismiss it entirely.
I've watched literal hours of YouTube videos that explain the physics of steering in the context of motorcycles but none debunk all the misunderstood concepts as clearly as this one. Take my upvote.

(And every time this subject comes up somewhere I am thoroughly amused at all the people who are confidently wrong)
So we need to externally regulate this market... cool.
> CBT can be helpful, but it 'intellectualizes' problems too much. How about teaching these kids how to increase their self-confidence? How to identify their emotional needs? How to build their social skills, resolve conflicts in relationships, and assert their personal boundaries? Most sure aren't learning that from their parents.

All the things you listed are already directly addressed within CBT.
Ah yes, the four humors: DEBG INFO WARN ERRR
A young guy driving on a country road without a seatbelt rolled his vehicle and died of his head injuries. Quite fascinating to discover that his only real problem was a badly bruised, contused and bleeding brain. Mind you, he probably would have had heart problems in his 50s because his heart arteries already had plaque and he was only in his twenties.

That was the best because it was the only postmortem I've seen.
And they used an analog computer to integrate and display the landing trajectory in real-time, just like in this game iirc.
These watermarking/"detect if someone is AI" techniques are trash, and OpenAI even admits it on their post about this. No proposed or implemented technique outside of this is even close to robust, reliable, or accurate.

It is trivial to get around even the best of these techniques. This is a cat and mouse game with a fat, lazy cat and really motivated, olympic tier mice.
One would hope so.

Ideally, the people of the future will have progressed beyond the relative savagery of me and my peers and look upon us with disdain. Perhaps for how much I enjoy a good steak, or for the genital mutilation of our boys.
> Copenhagen (well, Denmark) has two NFC card (Rejsekort) readers at the front of every bus, with more at other doors on busier routes

As an occasional visitor with a day pass, the experience is just the driver yelling at me, and me having to take my gloves out, get the thing and show it to the driver.

> They used to have an NFC card system, but for some reason discontinued it.

Because app is cheaper and they can gather data to sell it or just their own tracking.

Last time I was in malmö, I remember being on a large square trying to get a bus to go to our hotel. And there were like 15 different lanes named with unsorted letters, and by the time we'd found the lane we'd miss the bus. Repeat this like 4 times.
That’s all nice in theory, but new college grads want to make as much as possible. They don’t do that by “arguing that gravity shouldn’t exist”. They do that by playing by the rules as they exist.

That means “grinding leetcode and working for a FAANG” (c) r/cscareerquestions.

I am 25+ years in the industry. But if any new college grad asks me for my advice. That’s what I tell them.

I definitely wouldn’t tell them to take a chance of working for any non public company hoping their “equity” may be worth something because they heard that early engineers at Uber struck it rich.
No. If you agree to a contract, and then choose to back out of that contract, or not use the service or whatever you agreed to, that’s your choice.

For example: if I rent a car, but then don’t pick it up, the rental agency has not defrauded me. If I buy some food at a restaurant and then don’t eat it all, the restaurant doesn’t owe me a (partial) refund.

If the person believes the host breached their contract, then they can try small claims courts and/or lawyer town.

More realistically given most Airbnb hosts are land lords violating tenancy and hotel regulations it might be worth contacting the local regulatory authorities.

But while you make think the behaviour of the host here is illegal, they placed this person booked was available, and was available under the terms they apparently agreed to, so being told “no you can’t violate the terms you agreed to” is not fraud. This person could still go and stay at this property themselves, they just couldn’t have some other person stay their instead.
A dedicated IP address can be warmed up to deliver email well enough but it can take some time.

A mail server software like mdaemon can quickly handle the heavy lifting of improving deliverability. It’s a small price for the deliverability. I’m just a former user of it.

It’s ok to use an external email provider for outgoing email delivery.

ESPs (email service providers) are handy because they can separate outgoing transactional emails from marketing ones to ensure deliverability.
I have a library in which I set #![forbid(unsafe_code)]. It relies on a small number of carefully chosen dependencies, almost all of which contain unsafe code. I mean first-rate libraries like bincode, bstr, and once_cell. It feels a bit disingenuous for me to emphasize the safety of the top layer that I've written. I guess what I can actually express is that I'm setting risk boundaries and, in a way, taking myself out of the equation.

Has there been much research into the idea of distributing these large models across many heterogeneous machines?

I'm wondering if there could be a path towards a mix of alphafold and folding@home, with donated idle compute resources being used to train/run the models.

Designing for that sort of fragmentation could also make it easier to slowly run oversized models on local machines with swapped memory.
maybe he can sue the host in small claims?

The comment was specifically talking about "internationally relevant" companies.

> It looks like you don't know much about Europe.
> Let's start with browser. Opera, made in Norway.

Opera has 2 or 3% market share and these days is a Chromium fork. I don't even remember the last time I saw someone using Opera.

> Search Engine. Ecosia, Qwant.

Both of these are wrappers around Bing and regardless have less than 1% market share.

> Social network: Mastodon.

Despite some buzz on HN, it's less than 1% the size of Twitter.

> Operating system: are you kidding right? Linux, Linus Torvalds is from Finland.

Linus Torvalds moved to the US in 1996 and is now a US citizen. And isn't that kind of the point? Europe has no shortage of smart/entrepreneurial people, but they often come to the US so their projects or companies can reach their full potential instead of being stifled in the EU.
I guess it will be cycle of finding a way around those classifiers and fixing classifiers.
I can't help but selfishly wish that even half of that 1% of our federal budget (so far) could have been directed at improving any one of our busted ass systems at home (healthcare, education, social safety net) instead of sending a bunch of weapons abroad that have a decent chance of being pointed back at us someday.

How many doctors could we have trained up from nothing for 68+ billion? (I obviously didn't come up with this idea. Eisenhower said it forever ago)
Not necessarily. With the push towards headless development, using JSON to fill content opens up layout options significantly. Being tied to pre-made HTML runs you into significant issues trying to do anything that isn't just markdown page presented with HTML.

I left the decision to him because why interfere with someone else who probably has a stronger handle on their own strengths. As for your webhost concern, I can always change webhosts.
I never understood screensavers, I certainly remember my old CRTs in the 90s sleeping. Zero reason for the power draw when not using.
>We need an industry agreed-upon certification exam

I'd be OK with this if all the answers were just shown to various companies so they could see strengths and weaknesses. If some company doesn't care about DP or low level OO design they can throw out those scores, etc.

I certainly got annoyed in my last job hunt where I had to answer some basic whiteboard easy level LC questions over and over and over. Thank god I got to skip the Google screen. If one more person made me do basic BFS or something I was going to freak out. I understand why they asked it, but I had to keep coding it over and over and over...
Oktoberfest... the memeries make up for all the bad experiances from airbnb
We have university degrees which consist of numerous exams and we know they don't work to guarantee technical skills. The industry changes too quickly for curriculums to keep up, the field is vastly too large to cover adequately in one package, and testing well doesn't translate effectively to programming well.

Why would this hypothetical certification not have the same problems?
I’d argue WPF is a lot easier even for simple apps. The MVVM/binding story in WinForms is terrible (although interestingly it’s been improved very recently).

And the DPI handling alone saves a massive amount of time in WPF over WinForms. Writing everything in device independent size is a godsend.

There are zero sizes or categories of apps where I’d choose WinForms over WPF today.
Very cool! It looks like that's evolved into a company called CodeScene. Interesting demo by Adam: https://youtu.be/SWFwPkgLcpo?t=10
