If you spend time listening to podcasts you’ll learn to get the best 15-60 minutes out of a much longer episode. But ultimately it’s something you do while weeding, folding laundry or going on a run.

There are podcasts that try to edit down long conversations but they tend to cut the tangential and inadvertently revealing good stuff to deliver main points. If you just want main points you should just read an article.
Street smarts means you realize that the best payoff is to get a better job instead of trying to fix your current job. That level of street smarts is why many got into software to begin with.

If you could choose between starting a union or becoming a manager, then becoming a manager will almost always be a better payoff for your own time.
Actually incredibly true. I’m batting 1000 over my entire career because of it. I hear about jobs from people I know, get in contact with the team / hiring manager directly. By the time I’m actually emailing a PDF of my resume it’s already a formality.

I’ve gotten hired twice for positions that didn’t even exist when I started the process. Let me tell you it’s real easy when there are no other applicants.

If you have a small number of fixed documents e.g. <100k or so, then I agree that pickling the vectors or storing them as bytearrays would work better.

Once you reach a certain scale, it's helpful to potentially use distributed querying and/or different index types, even if you have a fairly static dataset. You can check out a billion-scale search benchmark we recently did here: https://zilliz.com/resources/milvus-performance-benchmark (you'll need to supply your email unfortunately). Here's the framework we used as well: https://github.com/zilliztech/vectordb-benchmark
Not sure how this got so absurdly reductionist. The fact remains, you do not need to use useEffect to fetch data in React. And useEffect runs after rendering, so you'd be delaying the fetch for no reason.

I'm a self-taught programmer, starting in the mid-70s, and learned how to write compilers in a way that probably wouldn't work nowadays, but was great fun back then.

The first thing I'd usually do when starting on a new architecture was write a disassembler. In the late 70s, I was mostly programming in 6809 assembly, usually in Microware's OS-9 operating system. Microware released a Pascal compiler, so I ran my disassembler over that. Turns out the compiler was self-hosting, written in Pascal, and the compiler output was almost completely unoptimized. So I decompiled the compiler back to Pascal by hand, just to see how it worked. I obviously had waaaaay more free-time back then.

I eventually read the green Dragon book (Aho & Ullman, Principles of Compiler Design), and ended up at Microsoft on the C/C++ team in 1991. Over the years, I've written several domain-specific languages (DSLs), small languages for some limited purpose. That early exposure to lexing, parsing, and error detection was invaluable.
Sometimes behaviour is legislated through second order behaviours because legislating first order behaviour is politically sensitive, or sometimes because even though the primary behaviour is already legislated the second order behaviour is as well. Not saying it's right, but it's exceedingly common.

Indeed. I sometimes suspect that those who've never spent any appreciable time around or with the lower classes fall back on Dickensian notions of the pauper. They might be surprised by their conspicuous spending habits and preferences devoted to the acquisition latest gadgets, flashiest sneakers, and gaudiest logo-emblazoned clothing. Failing to wear and own such things because, for example, your family is saving for or spending on education or something actually worth spending money on, is a faux pas.
But as you said, demand outstrips supply.
So many jobs just exist to make money.

I'm praying that humans have the ability to think more about meaningful purpose.

I often speed up Lex to 1.5x when he's talking, and for certain guests who talk fast, I toggle the speed back to 1x. Or if the guest talks slow, I just keep the whole podcast on 1.5x

If I've had my caffeine I might dial the whole podcast up to 2x.

In terms of content: Basically all the interviews he's done have the same thread of AI replacing humans. That type of topic gets boring, fast. I've heard all the arguments for and against AI and have made up my mind about it. In short, we gotta be careful with it: it's the atom bomb 2.0 if we're not careful.

That rivalry has been brewing for many years now, and only now coming out into the public because of OpenAI's massive success (and of course Elon's Tweets). It's also kinda one sided. Elon fancies himself as the father of AI, but has failed at it multiple times, first by trying to take over OpenAI, then with all of Tesla's AI stuff. He is not a player in the industry, and cannot stand it.
In 1999 on MG Road, it was more likely a roadside vendor with pirated books, Higginbotham, or unlikely, Gangarams. Blossom’s (Church St) wasn’t yet open IIRC.

Late 90s and early 2000s, I recall that Intel Inside, Lee Iacocca’s book, Who Moved my Cheese, Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, Jack Welch’s book, etc were commonly sold, in addition to the latest novels. I even remember buying Sylvia Nasar’s A Beautiful Mind (was popular because of the movie then) from a roadside vendor.

> I wouldn’t want to work for a company that paid me the same as everyone else and fired based on seniority.

Are you insinuating that pay and layoffs are done based on merit today? Because that’s totally not my experience after a couple of decades in the industry. And I’m leaving myself out of the sample.

Not sure if you ever attended a meeting with just directors and above. If you do you will hear only one word used for engineers: “Resource”.

Also great software, made by the megacorps, has to do as much with the engineers as McDonald’s burger have to do with the person flipping the patties.

It’s just lies we tell to ourselves.
Welcome to all of human discourse. Has this been any different from any point in human history? If you’re a scientist, 80% of the time you spend in conferences or reading papers would be digesting stuff you already know, with a few new nuggets of information or communication. You have to acknowledge every human being has an agenda and they’re gonna act in their self interest. Why would Sam give more details than he wants to in this or any meeting given the primarily economical but ostensibly ethical reasons not to reveal it? I still got many many useful pieces of information from this, that was worth the 2 hours of time and enduring all the drivel that goes in between by nature of this being a lex podcast.

Right; but there’s also a big difference between scrolling 25 second TikTok videos and settling in to listen to a 2 hour podcast with interesting people. I think the latter is better for our brains somehow. I don’t think the highly produced nature of TikTok makes it “better”.

As for 25 minute, produced podcasts? I really enjoy The Economist‘s Intelligence podcast for that. It’s definitely in the middle ground. Each episode is about 25 minutes. They’re tightly produced. They come out every week day. And each episode talks about 3 things going on in the world. If that’s what you’re looking for, give it a try!
100000... is only equal to 011111... if your digits roll over, but if your digits roll over then you have a p-adic number system (specifically a 2-adic system), and the exact same argument would hold equally well for the 10-adic applied to 10000..... = 99999.....

You argument isn't dependent on being binary or not. Only that the numbers roll over.
The Xonly stuff they talk about is so weird to me, because almost no one cares about exfiltrating assembly for dynamic ROP creation or whatever? Even if you are doing fingerprinting of binaries to pick an exploit version, you do that with a stack leak for return addresses to get relative offsets for a ROP or figure out a version. If someone is doing a ROP for an exploit they probably already have a built ROP chain to use with it!

Execute-only makes more sense for kernel exploits, and especially for the BSDs that do extremely aggressive per-codeunit kASLR at startup, but the fact Android dropped it should make you double think how worthwhile it is.
It's obvious even from the message you're replying to that they meant "works" in a manner that encompasses compliance.

But don't let you already knowing that get in the way of a pointless quip implying that they need educated in thermodynamics.

Yeah I'm not saying we should blindly extrapolate, but as I said, I see a big "fixed pie" fallacy in the opposite view:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy

Just to put something out there, I think LLMs will be something like Google.

I remember when Google started improving a lot in 2003-2004, a coworker wrote a blog post "Is Google God?" People thought it was conscious.

It was absolutely revolutionary. It created huge amounts of wealth for itself and others

But clearly it hit a limit. It wouldn't surprised me if LLMs were huge boon for 5 or 10 years, and they hit a fundamental wall, stagnate, and then we repeat the cycle.
My title is “stupid fat piece of shit that doesn’t deserve to be loved.” I’ve tried the others, the positive ones. They don’t stick. “Liar” just gets added to the mix, and the original, positive title quickly fades away.

I think the author is right in wanting laws to try to directly control the thing they care about rather than indirectly affecting it.

I’m confused about the other point though. Did this rule affect transatlantic flights? Somehow Concorde was allowed and I would have thought that transatlantic routes would be sufficient to economically justify supersonic flights if they make sense. (Maybe they do make sense now).

I think the extrapolation of the max speed graph doesn’t really make sense. It may have made sense to do that in the ’60s or ’70s, as I think that people in the aviation industry reasonably thought that was the direction planes were going. The 747 was designed to become a cargo plane once supersonic planes replaced it. But apart from Concorde, supersonic civilian jets didn’t happen so is the claim here that the rule prevented them from being developed because of the extra economies of scale from selling a few more planes to fly between the east and west coast? That is: I think this argument would have been more convincing if transatlantic supersonic flight was also banned and Concorde hadn’t existed. Given that that’s not what happened, I think it must make a stronger case for that rule hindering the development of supersonic civil aviation rather than other things like consumers preferring comfort to speed or the increased speed only affecting time in the air and not travel to the airport, waiting there, baggage claim, and travel from the airport.

Another thing I believe is that noise pollution is generally underrated and that society and governments should care more about how much there is and reducing it.
Yep. This article is clearly low-effort. The very few examples are like this one: """imagine you inherited a slow-performing code base written in Python. Your IDE suggests it be translated to Rust. You click yes and redeploy, and the app is suddenly 10X faster"""

This is about making ROP harder, not sure why they label it like this.

The idea that syscalls verify that stack pointer and PC are within valid regions at a first glance looks like a great idea, but I'm not sure if it stops many attacks. Might also turn out to be about too expensive...
This topic has come up repeatedly in my circles in the past few months. When I asked people, they noticed at least these benefits of each:

1. Mixed-age groups let you hear perspectives across age groups. You might also have one group helping another in their weak areas. That didn't happen as much in same-age groups I saw.

2. Same-age groups give you people who can relate to you and your life. That might not exist at all in mixed-age groups depending on the age distribution. Some people in mixed-age groups told me they switched to same-age groups for that reason.

I'd be interested in looking at any studies on this topic. Since you mentioned "plenty written," do you have any links we can look at?
Structure definitely makes a difference: I've worked in tech companies with 2000 employees that were more nimble and higher functioning than many a 100 person startup. Even among very large companies, there's clear tradeoffs that lead to very different actual outcomes.

That said, the larger the company, the bigger the problem and the harder it is to change direction when your organization is messed up. And as a company grows, an organization that was optimal can become a disaster.

A 100k employee organization is always going to have some parts of itself that are going to feel glacially slow. But there are companies that big that still deliver great products, while others seem to only exist due to inertia, as they couldn't build anything new that people wanted at any speed. But as Microsoft has sown us, a few organization and leadership changes can turn a company that at some point looked undead into relevance. Companies like Google and Meta are large enough that, even if we made the leadership completely incompetent, the companies would probably be valuable enough to survive for decade, just on inertia
Beautifully put together conception of the current state of technology and science.

> This just devalues cover letters.

Low-effort cover letters have been around forever.

As far as I'm seeing, this is just another tool to provide boilerplate cover letters where people lack communication ability to write their own.

As a hiring manager, the majority of cover letters I already receive are basically worthless. You can tell when someone is writing a cover letter because they think they have to, or when someone is writing a cover letter because they've actually thought about how to communicate something to the hiring manager.

Most of the boilerplate cover letters communicate basically nothing useful, and I end up ignoring them after the first read through.

When people make an effort, though, I make sure to carry the cover letter through the interview process so we can all collect the additional context as we interview the candidate.

Open source and copy left is explicitly not public domain, which is what you seem to be claiming it is.

Open source and copy left has very well established rules and licensing terms. If you are selling a product using OSS software you are agreeing to the terms of that license. The includes both explicitly acknowledging that you are using said product, but also the source code for the version of the OSS project you are using, as well as the changes you have made to that OSS code, and generally any other software you write on top of it.

If you don’t want to do that, then you would need a different license that you would have to negotiate with all the copyright owners of the project. If you don’t do that then you have no license to use the software at all, let alone to redistribute it.

This isn’t a complicated concept.

> You’re always free to go back. Unlike many collectivist countries, we won’t stop you from leaving, or try to force you to do things in general.

You think complacency is patriotism. I actually would prefer to improve my country.

> So it’s not unsurprising that your attempts at forcing others to pay for your things is met with hostility when you and others that share your views don’t even want to face those policies themselves.

“My attempts”? Your response is indeed hostile, but you have it backwards.

32EUR from JLCPCB for priority 7d and 26EUR for standard 7d (not sure what the difference is to be honest). The claimed price from AISLER is 57EUR. Although I have ordered from JLC before I don't have any receipts (and usually can afford slow shipping); to BE/NL/LU/DE it is generally delivered within the claimed timeframe (although 2 working days deliver is not an option).

> Actual example from a 33x55mm board

For 3x 33x55mm it does seem like AISLER comes out on top, probably because they charge by the cm^2, although in the higher order quantities that scaling makes it quite expensive.

I think the price per cm^2 of AISLER is about 5-28x JLC (JLC doesn't charge by cm^2 for <100cm^2, so a lot of variance; for larger boards it's back to about 5x). The shipping costs is (for me) about 0.5x, so when when your cm^2 is high (which for us it often is) it can be more expensive. Also something to note is that the JLC price per board decreases as you go to higher order qty, about x/|_log2(n)_|.

So my takeaway is that for <100cm^2 & >2000mm^2 and medium-high order qty JLC will probably give significant savings, at <2000mm^2 AISLER & <10 boards costs about the same as JLC everything considered (if your shipping costs is lower it will probably be at a higher mm^2 cut-off).
