I have found success by doing the following (when hiring for an engineering role):

1) Doing a relatively shallow but wide survey of the technology I'll expect them to be responsible for. Because we use k8s, I steal the old "type google.com into your browser" question and make it, "I type 'kubectl get pods' and hit enter. What happens to make the list of pods show up on my screen?". From there, you can dive into basically any part of the stack you want.

I'll often ask them to explain to me what the difference between a container and a VM is, as though I were an intern, and then I'll ask probing questions about things they get wrong or things they leave out that I think are relevant.

This isn't to pass/fail them, necessarily (though some people have done so badly that they essentially failed themselves), but it's to see where their familiarity and comfort level is with the tech at hand.

2) talking through their resume with them, and doing a deep-dive into a couple aspects of their recent history - why did they do a thing? What alternatives did they explore? What was the reason they went with what they did? How did they implement it? What problems happened? Who did they collaborate with and what was the precise scope of their involvement? How did they measure success, and what was the follow-up?

I don't expect anyone coming in to have a deep knowledge of the tech stack we have. I do expect someone to have deep knowledge of the technology that they put on their resume, though.

My hit / miss rate is pretty decent. There have been a couple of times that I said no when I should have said yes, but I'm okay with that ratio.
You make it sound like chargeback is an easy thing to do, with 100% success rate. I tried twice in my life to chargeback, for items not delivered. Both times unsuccessfully. It looks like banks usually side with merchants, because merchants pay them, not the customers, and because companies are generally considered more trustworthy than individuals.
> ChatGPT told POLITICO it thinks it might need regulating: “The EU should consider designating generative AI and large language models as ‘high risk’ technologies, given their potential to create harmful and misleading content,” the chatbot responded when questioned on whether it should fall under the AI Act’s scope.

> “The EU should consider implementing a framework for responsible development, deployment, and use of these technologies, which includes appropriate safeguards, monitoring, and oversight mechanisms," it said.

This is amazing, now people are interviewing ChatGPT.
For accounting purposes the bank receipt will rarely have the details needed for tax (eg in Australia that don't include the ABN).
I wonder whether the upcoming APUs will feature 3D cache. Assuming it server pretty well in a gaming scenario (and more so when the CPU and GPU is sharing the same memory bandwith) it should be a pretty clear win. And since these chips are meant to be drawing less power than the general purpose ones, I guess having another layer of 3D v-cache would not constitute as big of a problem as it does on the desktop platform.

$3050 is a large enough amount that I would take it to small claims court. In which case, AirBNB has to send a representative to court to fight the charges, or they'll default and you'll (eventually) get your money back.

Even if they do send somebody (which is doubtful) what you're saying suggests that the listing was totally fraudulent.
In 10+ years, outside of perhaps experimenting with the feature for a few hours to see how it works - I've never created a second session in tmux. I routinely will have 20-25 windows and another 4-6 subpanes inside those windows though.

I'm wondering if sessions were more relevant before we all had 30+" monitors on our desk, and panes were less useful. Or perhaps some people have, as you noted, more well defined work/project paradigms that they can associate with a session.

With that said - in my day job, we have a really well engineered set of tooling that lets us manage our certificates, ssh keys, and orchestraor/security engine/service discovery tokens - but I'm managing and updating dozens of environments/configs - honestly the environment that I opened even a single pane (inside a window) might shift several times over 5-10 minutes into entirely different clusters - what that pane started with is mostly irrelevant - (and clearly the windows/session and "Tmux Server" environment that I started with is so irrelevant as to be meaningless).

About the only global original configurations that I care about and want to carry into my work are bound to my client (/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, interface, VPN, etc...)

The one thing that I've gotten out of this thread is that I probably should be more empathic to other people's workflow - not everyone has the same datacenter/cluster/server environments that I do - and instead of having tooling to manage their environment, they might just rely on what it was when they were launching a "new tmux session at that point in time" (a concept I had never considered until today).
Was Van Gogh developed custom for Valve? I think I remember talk about Van Gogh from before the Steam Deck was announced, and at that time it wasn't presented as a custom chip but delayed and troubled cheap gaming APU project. Silicon bug workarounds could explain some of the strange behavior seen here. If Van Gogh wasn't a custom project and Valve just happened to have the perfect use case for it that would be serindipitous.
The seeds work. They just don't work as well. Sometimes you can sell heritage crops for more and it works out. Not all crops of hybrid variants so there is it makes sense to save seeds.

Switzerland has a more traditional, not healthier, relationship between the people and the state: the people are subjects who are given tiny freedoms, but are kept on tight leash, because the state has a deep distrust of its people. The abberation with guns is just insecurity of the state: it's small and needs its people to act as part-time military in reserve. If it had a bigger military, the fake gun rights would disappear overnight.
Using any current architecture it is infeasible to do backprop (training) due to the massive communication requirements.

Then your code calling `pre_exec` is unsound, it is calling into `foo1` which is not documented to be async-signal-safe. Without any documentation saying otherwise you can't assume a function can be called within weird contexts with non-standard restrictions, and if they update to do something like add an allocation that causes your code to be UB, that's allowed by their documented API.

Czechia is a European country you want to look at for an example that you can have gun laws that allow civilians to own handguns and carry them for defensive purposes without problems.

US is somewhat unique in the Western world across the board - no public healthcare, generally poor social safety net etc - which means that exercises in causal linking of those unique traits to outcomes are wild guesswork, if one is taking a charitable perspective. A non-charitable one is that people mostly just cherry-pick things that compare favorably for whatever political cause they're advancing, and will often outright refuse to believe a similar comparison that is contradictory.

Bias has many different meanings. Now, correct me if I'm mistaken, but in this context, I believe we are talking about bias as a difference between a measured value and a true value.

What is the true value in this case? Is it the counterfactual performance a person would have if their SES were not low? Would that be the "right" true value in all applications? Might it not be the case that, in some contexts, the "right" true value is the person's actual current ability level and not some counterfactual of how they would do in other circumstances that were perhaps more just and fair? For example, what if you are trying to give them the learning opportunity best suited to their actual current ability level, not trying to rank people and only give the top-ranked some special status or credential?
As opposed to working for non profitable startups?

The second part is that I tell them to save aggressively and diversify themselves by selling their RSUs as soon as they vest. They wouldn’t use 25% of their cash salary to buy their company stock, why keep your shares once they vest?

Unrelated but interesting fact, mortality rate per mile driven went up during covid. The reason motor vehicles kill so many people in the US is because of street design, but usually it's all clogged up with traffic to reduce speeds to a non-lethal level.
I think the answer is it depends, and further, a dynamic approach may be best. Imagine you are going on a hike, and you have different maps at various resolutions (levels of detail). When planning the hike, you will want to see the zoomed out picture to get general directions, elevations and landmarks identified. Then you can zoom in to see the actual trails themselves, to identify your route, and then you zoom in even further when you are on the ground actually walking, avoiding obstacles along the way.

Different resolutions draw your attention to different types of features.

The UK has an elected Prime Minister who acts as the head of state in all meaningful functions. The monarch has held a merely ceremonial position since 1688 (the Glorious Revolution).

Regarding electoral systems, I'd choose PR over FPTP, because PR suits my political aims at the current time.

Despite this, I understand the benefits of FPTP as a system, and I can see why a country with a long-running and mature democracy (like the UK) would want it. It's important that political parties are forced to develop a long-term record, and credibility. If we ditch FPTP, then single-issue parties will come and go frequently, allowing bad politicians to go somewhat unchecked.

In terms of corrupt financial systems, I think you need to read up on some history if you think the UK has the worst. Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea, Yemen, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Russia. And of course, the US, whose regulatory failures, speculation and novel (AKA sketchy) forms of debt caused the World's largest economic shocks in both the 20th and 21st centuries.
Crypto is always about having some people you trust, having some adversaries, and being able to interact with the trusted people without the adversary interfereing or evesdropping.

Most in browser crypto seems to view the web server as both the adversary and the trusted party at the same time. That is obviously not going to work well in most cases.
ChatGPT when asked this question answers that its responses are probabilistic, so the responses aren't reproducible. I tested that myself, of course. Since it gave me 2 different (but overall equivalent) answers from the same prompt I'd have to agree.

That's true regardless of the interest rate situation...

> We have gone from a zero interest rate economy to a high interest one within months.

IIUC, even the Fed's pretend "Natural Rate of Interest" is higher than current rates - meaning even they seem to believe they're still stimulating the economy somewhat with their policies.

Current interest rates are still arguably low. And AFAIK, no major central bank is even considering an interest rate - ever - that would actually be "high" or even positive in REAL terms.
I sort of trust the ECB, but I won't be shocked if they miss their targets.
So the EU should ban the malicious thing, instead of putting that fatigue onto all users everywhere.

Here is one of the problems with third-party bookings: the person that makes the booking is sent all the information needed to make the stay a pleasant experience. This can be details like: where to park and where NOT to park; how to find the house; how to find the key or the code to the electronic lock; how open the front door; etc, and the host is given the contact details of the person that made the booking (phone number, e-mail). The preferred method of communication between host and guests should ALWAYS be the Airbnb app messages, not third-party systems where fraud could occur, so the host has no way to contact the person staying and usually has no idea who it is.

Typically NONE of this information is passed from the person making the booking to the person actually staying, so the guest parks in the wrong spot, goes to the wrong house, cannot find the key or doesn't have the code to open the front door, etc, and after an hour or so they contact the hosts demanding action and the host says "Who are you and why are you phoning me at midnight?"

Let's keep going with the building analogy. You're running a cabinet making company. You've got all kinds of hand tools and power tools. You build jigs to make certain repetitive tasks faster. Then a ridiculously difficult design comes in for you to build. You and your crew are flummoxed by its complexity. Suddenly, someone offers you a CNC machine that you've never used before. What seemed hard is now easy. The nature of solving problems with a CNC is different. Using a CNC presents other challenges. But you have entered a new realm of what's possible. Analogies are a lot of BS but hopefully that gets across the flavor of what I'm talking about.
Engineering and medicine require a lot more investment to get the job. Especially medicine. It's a lot more regimented, but to put things in perspective: to be hired by a hospital, a doctor needs to do stage (few months in rotations between different departments) and then residency (36-hour shifts with 12-hour sleep intervals for a few years). And then they become attending, maybe will try for a fellow, but, basically, they become a "proper" doctor, and get a permanent contract from a hospital. Sure, the procedure varies between countries and hospitals, but the process is a lot lengthier and exhausting than anything you can possibly face in programming. Hell, even karate kid punching trees with bare hands for a year fades in comparison.

You must have worked on this earlier than me. I started with DX7 on Windows, before that I worked purely in OpenGL on workstations on high end visual simulation. Yes, in DX7 we used printf debugging and in full screen-only work, you dumped to a text file or as you say, MDA if necessary for interactive debugging, though we avoided that. DX9's visual debugger was great.

I don't remember console development fondly. This is 25 years ago, so memory is hazy, but the GameCube compiler and toolchain was awful to work with, while the PS2 TOOL compile/test cycle was extremely slow and the API's were hard to work with, but that was more hardware craziness than anything. XBox was the easiest when it came out. Dreamcast was on the way out, but I remember really enjoying being clever with the various SH4 math instructions. Anyhow, I think we're both right, just in different times. In the DX7 days, NVIDIA and ATI were shipping OpenGL libraries which were usable, but yes, by then, DX was the 800lb gorilla on windows. The only reason that OpenGL worked at all was due to professional applications and big companies pushing against Microsoft's restrictions.
A skeptic would likely assume it's not true.

In my mind, a scientific-minded person comes up with a hypothesis, models with explaining power, and then thinks "how could I devise an (ideally repeatable) experiment that could help me distinguish between this hypothesis and another (likely null) hypothesis?" The fundamental mindset isn't "accept only proven claims", it's formulating hypotheses and then evaluating them via testing.

I'd guess many astrological hypotheses aren't especially likely to fare well, and to the extent that would-be scientists have the same intuition we probably won't get a lot of tested astrology. But I think it's also an interesting question where that intuition comes from; generating & exploring hypotheses are pretty fuzzy parts of the process.

And how you formulate them matters. If the hypothesis is that Neptune's position is causal, well, there's not a lot of mechanisms we're aware of to build around. OTOH, if the hypothesis is that Neptune's position is correlated with some other variable, still could be a waste of time but there's a lot more mechanisms one could look into. "SAD is a problem with vitamin D" is an acknowledgement that there are these kind of correlations in play.

How likely are they to bear fruit? My gut says not super likely, but at some level that's back in that field of intuition. In some ways the ultimate measure of whether something is "scientific" and included/excluded from scientific inquiry is basically a declaration about how interesting or uninteresting it is to scientists.

DEI programs don't help guard vs. litigation, therefore that can't ever have been a cause for their or their antecedents' inception!

Excellent work! Thoughts:

* Usenet post, not "FidoNet post". (The quoted author has a FidoNet email address, but that's not the same thing.)

* I realize that the article isn't intended to discuss the PCjr/Tandy 1000 because their release dates are well known, but given how important they were to 1980s PC gaming, and there is already a discussion of the PC speaker's workings, a cursory discussion of what became "Tandy sound" seems appropriate.

(Tandy missed out on a big opportunity by not releasing an inexpensive soundcard for non-Tandy PCs. It would have further encouraged software developers to support Tandy sound. The sound card boom of the late 1980s showed just how much of untapped demand existed. A Tandy sound card c. 1985 could have completely taken over the market and more or less preempted the sound card boom because Tandy sound would have been "good enough" for most casual users.)
Thankfully I don't give them my data. Wish everyone could've done the same, but here we are.

True enough. I inadvertently learned trig so thoroughly that I could "see" many steps ahead as one. I say inadvertently because since every class was a math class, full of incidental trig work, this winds up happening to everyone.
