Except people deeply care about what other people are doing.

That was the whole point of Google’s Pagerank algorithm.

So, it might not be what you personally want. But to a lot of people, it’s more important to read/consume something popular (ie. that a lot of others care about), rather than something related to their own interests.
Interesting question.

One difference is that upvoteRate formula adjusts for where the submission appears on the page (the rank). It also adjusts for how many site-wide upvotes occurred during that time period.

You are right, since we don't know the number of users who saw the page + the vote icon, so we can't calculate the probability Pr(upvote|saw submission with upvote button). But the upvoteRate formula would be proportional to this probability, times additional factors for rank and time.

We talked about this in our original blog article here: https://felx.me/2021/08/29/improving-the-hacker-news-ranking...

"LLMs can produce hundreds of “emergent” abilities — tasks that big models can complete that smaller models can’t, many of which seem to have little to do with analyzing text"

Fascinating. This has major implications for AI alignment and safety and not in a good way. We have unpredictable behavior that increases with model power while at the same time we fundamentally do not understand how LLMs internally operate.

I tried this but I think my issue is the library is too large. It can pull a few dozen or a hundred or so photos just fine, but then it will time out but not quit out, so I have to babysit the process. Maybe there's a flag I missed in the documentation to retry downloads, but it basically was a nonstarter to me in the state it was in. I think its apples fault though; I can't get a big zip file of icloud data to succesfully download with their website either, it will also time out. Likewise when I try and update the bootcamp drivers on my intel bootcamp machine, I will get 30% of the way there and then it times out. I'd blame my home connection, but from cursory glances at various forums this is apparently a widespread issue with these sort of downloads form Apple.
Once you have an AI to also prototype the plugin ideas, such an idea list may become useful. I've always seen that the owners of any product have more product improvement ideas than they could economically implement.
Many things in Berlin don't make sense if you come from somewhere else.

You can get hard drugs delivered to your door faster than a uber eats.

I've lived in many places in which drug dealers where sketchy as fuck, Berlin isn't one of these.

This thread is full of people with no first hand experience and projecting way too much
I feel like this is a mismatch of delivery expectations rather than a problem with take-homes. I explicitly tell our candidates that I don't expect them to put together a polished solution in the couple of hours they have for the take-home. That's fine. The point is to merely get an idea of someone's ability.

I don't think that's true. "If you redistribute we stop collaboration" is not a restriction on the source code the customer has access to.

I think this clause doesn't mean what you mean. This clause means that the GRSecurity project can't license their modifications under a more restrictive license than the GPL. Which the GRSecurity project respects, customers do have access to the modifications under the GPL license.

As far as physics engines go: Jolt currently seems to kinda disrupt the decades-long equilibrium, at least as far as I'm aware from my corner of the wood. I wouldn't be surprised if the physics engine landscape looks very different in 5 years compared to 5 years ago:

When I interviewed for my current position, I had a home assignment to solve. They said 2-3 hours which transformed in 2-3 days over the weekend for me. I really wanted to do a good job, so I thought it thoroughly, did it and modified it until the result was the best I could do.

Even without taking my time to do the best job possible, it wasn't going to be a 2 hours job, but at least a 4 or 5 hours job.

It will never going to last as they say. For one reason, persons giving these tests are underestimating the time.

And if I said that I don't want the test, they wouldn't have hired me, which would be a shame. :)

At other interviews when I got to choose between live coding or sessions with questions and home assignments, I've always have chosen home assignments and always got an offer.

I set up my Python env once 5 years ago. Haven't touched it since.

It would probably take me an hour to set it up again.

Still I produce quality Python code (almost) every day. To me, the skills are entirely orthogonal.
Snark aside, any tool can be misused. In the couple times I've used it, ChatGPT rendered a first draft from a prompt that could be edited into something useful. This allowed me to skip that initial painful part of composition. I'm happy to see it integrated and hopeful it will be helpful.

Can anyone explain why it is thought that rust is great at games, i dont have experience with it but would like to know more?

Thanks, now they can find original works they can train on by looking for these images.

The shareholders are the ones paying the CEOs, though, so it sounds like they are worth it.
So you would run the risk to let it autonomously decide that humans are a threat to it and all humans must be eliminated or coerced into slavery à la Matrix ?

The concern doesn't look very far-fetched to me.
If the goal of any natural life-form/object is to maximize its energy level while having a stable structure (whether an an atom, a molecule, RNA, a cell, the body, your kinship, a company, a nation, humanity, a solar system etc...), then what would need to be encoded in those AI programs to make them autonomous?

And then what decisions would they make as completely different, life forms with their own decision making?

Would they empathize with us (which means they would have to have an idea of the human experience) or would they treat us as a lion treats an antelope, as we treat a cow, etc.?
With Rust, you won't have to wait for runtime (in Production) to notice an obvious error like wrong types for example, nor do you have to set up 15 external tools to achieve the same toolchain reliability (pytest, mypy, tox, ...), these things are built-in Cargo (Rust package manager).

Of course, Python can be fast enough, and decisions like these are tradeoffs. Still, you'll have to invest a lot of DevOps time in Python to achieve a fraction of the reliability and safety guarantees Rust (and its tooling) provide—a high-level summary of the book's first chapter.
As long as we're talking about redoing this, let me suggest letting authors see the names of upvoters (and only upvoters).

Quora had this and it did a fair bit to create positive community feelings for me. It also let people signal agreement/support without having to create a comment to do so, which I would find handy.
For something to be consumed it needs to have energy surplus. Plastics have plenty, you could just set fire to them to combine them with oxygen to get it.

They only obstacle is to figure out set of enzymes that can do the burning in controleed manners. Life is very good at figuring that stuff out, it just takes time.

Rocks pretty much don't burn. Although I wouldn't be surprised if in water environments there are some organisms that can utilize some rocks in their metabolism. It's just that rocks are pretty much useless on the surface that's why nothing eats them here.

Similarly with coal underground. In airless environment coal is just rock. If there was plenty of it on the surface something would metabolise it for energy. I think coal from burnt forest doesn't just remain on the ground. Something probably eats it.
> Many humans have lost their jobs to dumb programs before

I do think really this is you’re not being in touch with most of reality and what most people on earth do daily at this moment. It definitely as nothing to do with the productivity you have and the drive you feel internally to ‘get shit done’. Most people, by a huge stretch, get education, want to do work what they are told to do related so that education and that’s it. They have no, at all, drive to ever move beyond that. They learned Angular on their first job; that’s it. Etc.

This is now replaceable; this is not, at all, comparable to automation before this. It’s a threshold; it you cannot see it, you definitely will be shocked in the coming years. This is not going away and it is replacing humans now on a small scale. The companies that really can just remove 90% of their staff are late always, but it will come. I see this all day because I work in massive orgs where this holds, not only for tech.
The trouble with Sony (if what I've heard down the grapevine is accurate) is that even if you privately fork Rust and roll your own integration without breaking the terms of the NDA, or acquire such a fork from someone else who is also under NDA, they still won't let you ship with it.

You're likely getting downvoted because there is a comment like this on every Rust-related thread and people are tired of it.

Frankly, people are excited about Rust. It promises C-like performance and utility while being more expressive and much safer. Cargo is awesome. The level of quality of its ecosystem is, in general, unlike that of most other programming languages. At the end of the day, people are just really enthusiastic about it and want its community and ecosystem to grow so they can use it for more things. Is it sometimes taken too far? Absolutely, but you could say the same thing about most popular languages at some point: JS, Python, Java, etc.
That is fair enough (and what the article is referring to as well). Personally I'd rather make 150k and have about 90k in my pockets than to make 100k and have 66k in my pocket. Especially if a shitty 2 bedroom apartment costs 500k to buy.
This is one of those things that you'd be amazed once you start looking at interviewer's ability to judge effort. Often times the questions asked or expected of is just excessive. They'll ask problems that if you didn't know the trick or (years of ) research behind it, you'd never solve it. They'll give a take home asking for a full service and full deployment on K8s and claim "it should only take 6 hours".

There should be entire eras filled in by GRR with edited GPT4 output.
Losing your job is only a problem because we live under a system that only allows people to live if they allow themselves to be exploited by a parasite. If things were right there'd be no concept of "losing your job".
I'll give you a counter example. I've worked extensively with the symfony framework (10+ years at this point), and clearly remember a company I've applied to a couple of years back guesstimating that the take home assignment is going to take 2-3 hours tops to complete.

And the requirements might be reasonable for an already setup project, but when you have to do it from zero; unless you're scaffolding new symfony projects every time a new release is out, you're going to waste at least an hour scaffolding/googling/installing/wiring up all the dependencies/auth/orm you might need for you flow. It's not as bad as within the NodeJS ecosystem, but all libraries/frameworks that have a yearly major release, like to break things along the way so you're never going to hit the ground running in a couple of minutes.
You will certainly be able to find excellent developers that way. You'll also automatically rule out the vast majority of amazing developers that aren't "actively working in the open on OSS platforms".

The caching trick for libsolv here could be a game changer for performance in a lot of Linux distro package managers, where libsolv's completeness comes at a substantial performance cost.

I've never looked too deeply into how conda works because I'm not that into Python, but I guess I should. It seems there are some valuable general lessons here— I wish that more package managers, and in particular, Nix, maintained more version combinations in their repos. Searching through Nixpkgs commits to find compatible versions of things because you have to rely on the implicit versioning of the monorepo sucks.

Adding dependency resolution to Nix as it stands would normally add a big performance cost. Something like this would help with that problem a lot, and Nix already usually runs with a persistent daemon. Maybe a similar technique could fit in well here.

I don't think being (reasonably) late matters much as long as you do a good job.

Try giving a bit more than asked and explain your thought process clearly.

If you can't come up with a full solution at least mention what you would like to try if you had more time.

ALWAYS write in a positive tone, try avoiding words like "can't" and "difficult".

Provide a short summary about what you learned with the test.

I got offers this way despite being late for several hours or even days.
Right and if 90% of the candidates decline and the ultimate hire ends up being less than ideal, the company will (or they should) re-evaluate whether it's a good idea.

The point is that people don't visit food processing plants regardless of what kind of food is being processed, not because they're scared of canned beans or seeing where meat comes from.

And certainly not because the plant is hard to get to, where did you even pull that from? The processing plant I worked at didn't even have walls, the whole building was a pavilion. Anybody could have walked in if they wanted to, but nobody ever did.

My experience is, for businesses who pay attention to open-source licenses, they will avoid GPL libraries like the plague (GPL applications are usually fine, though there's sometimes some skepticism).

But not all businesses pay close attention to open-source licenses.

I have to assume that scale has something to do with it. Huge companies usually take that pretty seriously. Tiny companies... eh, they might not even be aware.
Rust is a genuinely interesting language but I think part of the problem is that a lot of the posts about it lately are just not. There's been a string of "we did generic boring thing everyone has been doing for a decade+ BUT IN RUST!!!!" articles lately that are not helping to dissuade the "cult vibes"

This link, for example, is... Boring? Like why is it here? What's to discuss? Should we just link to the PIP repository, too?
Why do you do the take home test at the end? Seems odd. Take home tests are used because it saves time to the company, so you do it first. If the candidates passes the test, then the "real" interviews starts.

By doing it at the end, you are just telling the candidate "Oh, you are good. You passed phase I and phase II... but that's not enough you poor candidate!".

I have things I have written that took me two years for 8-10 pages. I wrote them to help me think through certain things.

Could ChatGPT have written it for me? Maybe. Probably not, though - I kind of had to discover what the content was supposed to be.

Could it have written it better than I did in two years? Probably not. Two years leaves you a lot of time to polish the phrases.

Could ChatGPT have taught me what I learned in those two years? No way.
I would try to establish a friendship with them rather than trying to transactionally extract some useful knowledge.

Consider what you can offer them rather than what they can offer you.

“Would you let me buy you coffee or lunch some time?”

Find out what they are interested in outside of their career, or if they share any passions of yours.

Ask them what they’ve been reading, watching, or listening to lately. Then you could engage with that media yourself and have something interesting to talk to them about.

I suggest you read the book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Never Eat Alone is another book I’ve heard good things about on this subject.
