Recently read a blog post of Erik Bernhardsson on the interviewing process(he has several other interesting posts that approaches hiring as a machine learning problem).
https://erikbern.com/2018/05/02/interviewing-is-a-noisy-pred...
He suggested asking many short questions instead of doing long leetcode problem(as the solution often relies on one single insight, it gives you very little information relative to the work involved). He also suggested using code reading

>I print out 10-15 code snippets (not just code, but also UNIX commands, regular expressions, SQL queries and many other things). I then go through and ask: what does this snippet do, how does it work, are there any bugs, etc.? Reading code (as opposed to writing) means I can cover a lot of ground extremely quickly, spending no more than a minute or two on each problem.
Torrents can't be updated.
Never used it.

And it was doing also routing too? Also in Germany?
Rust as an example of good syntax, seriously?
I don't know Rust but when I see examples they're not especially readable..

That said system languages have a disadvantage, they can't even concatenate two strings 'simply'.
Torrents cannot be updated. Furthermore, torrents are subject to the sites that advertise them getting banned. You will constantly be on the hunt for new trackers.

Blockchain is an obviously superior application here as new books and articles are constantly being released.
I'd recommend One Sec if you're interested in something similar, I don't remember that asking for anything like that and have no idea why a similar app would need to.
> success largely depends on the skill and experience of the individuals involved.

Yes. Well sort of. The key insight here is that in software at least, this is a pre-requisite anyhow. If you don't have skilled and/or experienced people, nothing will save you.

So you might as well tailor your process around the expectation of a certain amount of skill, because although you can't use process to save you, you can use process to f-ck up a team that would otherwise perform well.

However, my practical experience with agile includes taking a team of so-called low-performers and turning the team into one of the highest performing teams within the organisation. Using agile. (No fauxgile, no scrum, no standups, etc.)
Documentation can help the llm search though. Layering of tasks is important.

> That said, this raises the question of how the IPFS gateway is different from Cloudflare’s DNS resolver, which essentially operates as a gateway to the regular Internet. Cloudflare previously said that it will fight copyright-related DNS blockades, even if they’re backed up by a court order.

> Apparently, that’s not the case for IPFS.

But it’s also not the same situation at all.

With DNS, blocking would mean making the whole site unavailable.

With their IPFS gateway they are just filtering individual items.
While it is true that the US mean is much higher than the median, the median person still benefits greatly from that wealth. The rich invest their wealth in business, real estate for rent, and real estate for themselves, making all these things better.

I'm currently in the EU, in a country that outperforms the US in median wealth by about 20%. While it's clear that life here is good, I'm also struck by how much worse everything looks here, from the rental real estate where I'm staying, to the generally unprofessional standard of business.

So just looking at the slightly-higher median and ignoring the 2-3x higher mean also skews the picture.
These very likely aren’t Stripe’s rules, they’re a composite of various regulations and rules imposed by banks and card networks.
> I like to point out that very few house builders use agile methodologies to build a home.

Home construction often has milestones that are fairly comparable: 1) competition of the structural components, 2) drying in, 3) utilities, 3) drywall and Paint, and 4) Finishing.

Each of these are phases where they could theoretically stop. There are times in history and places in the present where people live in structures that don’t have windows and doors, or without utilities, etc.

However I would agree that they’re not marketed as viable until they’re close to finished.

Would fabrication failure be considered a bug? Isn't the rate kinda up there for chips that don't make it out of the factory? Not to mention on arrival there's a failure rate.

But also, I don't know too much about this, but when Linus tech tips did a tour of a chip fabrication plant, I remember learning that apparently the high end chips are chips where all the little bits inside all work, and if they detect like, busted wee transistors or whatever, they can just use that chip as a lower power processor. If that's the case that's like... Kinda a bug, but they just "code around it," right?
Last week I used Dalle to make a logo for a side project and GPT to write some Javascript for it (I’m mostly BE these days).

I don't know them, of course, but take a moment to reflect that every single exec at Stripe probably agrees with you. There is always a mahout [1]

He is otherwise known as an institutional investor.

I'm guessing this is targeted at libgen, I imagine some of the big publishers put pressure on them.
Another idea - since I found the explanation on MDN Docs can be too technical sometimes (filled with jargons from the specs), I think beginners like me would find ChatGPT helpful.

Here are some screenshots comparing the two:

I have a question to non-agile people? How do you work and get things done?
Exactly - as I say: If you know exactly what you want and are happy to wait, then an agile methodology probably isn't for you.

I think you missed my point, (sorry if it wasn't clear). An agile way of working can be right if you want to test and learn and you need to unlock value quickly (or more quickly than building a whole).

But the industry I work in, even 'agile' projects come with 6 month planning 'sprint zero', and then basically just use sprints to work through a waterfall plan. Getting no value from 'agile'.
That’s a huge false dichotomy. The financial sector can (immorally) choose to not deal with entire sectors because they see them as high-risk.
chatgpt or gpt4?

public copilot uses gpt3.5, as does non premium chatgpt.
Yeah I‘m using and liking One Sec :)
Yep, poster should have used this link.
Kinda misses the entire point of 'agile' which is a way to adjust to and gather changing requirements in an iterative process. It's a risk _mitigation_ strategy.

I'm not sure I agree that anything is a glass cannon because it could work but you could also do it wrong so it could fail. If a team can't pull off agile what do they think would have been a safer strategy?
Young individual without enough skill/experience joins a team and fails miserably. Same individual joins another team and succeeds.

Skills and/or experience are _not_ prerequisite for every single individual. You need enough skillful/experienced people to create a process/culture that allows less experienced engineers to join and flourish.

And then you let a human check it I hope? It does very well for the top 1% of languages (in terms of text online), but quality quickly degrades where there is less training material.

I asked a speaker of Northern Sámi, a language with not that big corpora available, to comment on GPT-4's translations into her language. She said "The translation is completely incomprehensible. Lots of non-existent and completely incomprehensible words, and the words that are understandable do not fit into the context. Besides, it's the wrong subject, it's Russia's report instead of the UN report etc." Only knowing a tiny bit of the language, I could've easily been fooled by the output.
Blockchains can absolutely be used for storing arbitrary data (see Filecoin.)

Torrents cannot be updated. Whether done over Tor or not, they aren't suitable for this use case, especially as you have to chase down the websites that advertise them, as they constantly get banned.

What you need is a distributed append-only data structure. Blockchains are an example, but not the only way to do this.
You can, but you'd use more DRM and server components. In the extreme your game would be streaming on something like GeForce Now so only paying customers can access it.

To a large extent we also see that today (because let's be honest, current copyright law is not enforced very consistently) and there are still big-budget movies and games being released.
I'm going through the handbook and some things don't seem satisfactory.

Division always yelds a floating-point number, so the following doesn't work, you have to explicitly use floor():

min = time / 60
sec = time % 60

Also

var x = [1, 2, 3]
x[1] /= 2

It's weird that now x includes one float and 2 integers. Besides, x[1] == 1 evaluates to false because a float never equals an integer.

The description of 'for' loops is not complete. For example, does range(1, 10) go from 1 to 10 or from 1 to 9? What is the value of the iteration variable after exiting the loop?

The example to handle a variable number of arguments calls the function callee() with 0 to 4 arguments. So it IS possible to have functions with a variable number of parameters. What's the goal of this example, then?
Position yourself for the windfall how?

Let's say Alice will be wrong several times and then right once, and Bob will be right several times and wrong once. Both of them start with $10k.

To give Alice every advantage, let's say her bets pay out 10x or nothing, and Bob's bets pay out 4x or nothing. We'll also say Alice magically knows which time she'll be right, but Bob won't know which time he'll be wrong.

Alice will obviously bet all her money on the time she's right, and come out with $100k.

Bob can invest 2/3 of his money each time, repeating every time he's right. Let's say he happens to be right 8 times, then is wrong. After those 8 right bets, he'll have $6.6M. After he makes his wrong bet, his fortune will drop to $2.2M. Then he'll retire.

Looks like Bob has a much better windfall to me.

What actions can Americans possibly take given the captured two party system and drawing back of voting rights? Not to mention the wildly unrepresentative government, wherein for example more people can vote for Trump in California than Texas in 2020 yet each of those person's votes are functionally meaningless, or, republicans can fail for over two decades to win a popular vote and still elect three presidents in that time. Or the fact that California gets very few senators per person whereas north Dakota gets a much larger power per citizen in the Senate, and the House is similarly unrepresentative.

It seems that working within the system isn't an option for Americans that desire a better world anymore. Perhaps a billionaire has the means to change this within system-allowed parameters such as lobbying and ad buys?

That was my original point, I think this board might get some support but only by virtue of Pine also using this chip. Orange Pi and Banana Pi have never got anything upstreamed as far as I'm aware, and Rockchip seem uninterested as well.

I've played with these boards and they seem cool. I have a couple of NanoPi NEO3's because I really liked the form factor, and they perform really well, but I would never buy one of these and expect support. I would stick with Intel/AMD since they perform better, have better support, and the modern versions use little power and used is similar pricing.
Wanting a well-defined open deterministic rule is in large part an engineering instinct. The reality is that a degree of “it depends” makes a whole lot of sense. The entire legal system is built on the word “reasonable”.
That's right. I'm an okay-ish competitive programmer (around 2400 on Codeforces). I haven't played competitive programming for years (though being semi-active in the community, for problem setting etc) and last I tried I can still randomly draw a LeetCode hard, consistently solve in 10-15 minutes max.

The problem is LeetCode is SO BORING for anyone ever tried competitive programming so people usually won't do it at all.

Jeff Bezos did not and also cannot order bridges to be dismantled.
I have been using it to reword messages that are displayed in an UI. I write out the information that the message needs to convey and ask it to generate a simple and concise piece of text that does the job.

Having diagrams (think free body diagrams in static mechanics, or a T-s diagram in thermodynamics) make a lot of non-trivial problems a lot simpler to communicate. And correctly understanding an unambiguous definition of a problem is a major step towards solving it.

If language was enough (or a similar idea, that multimodal input is not useful), college math professors wouldn't use so much chalk making drawings and diagrams to explain their ideas.

Fair enough.

Agile was a response to heavy process. And systems where people's jobs were all about adding more process to the already heavy process. Process hell.

In the couple of decades since little "a" agile really got adoption:

1. many people have not seen v-model or spiral model and their attendant process wonks

2. agile was turned into Agile and became a way to micromanage, first micromanagement with no rules, then later, more and more "Agile rules"

So now we have SAFe, which is sort of the worst of both worlds: micromanagement plus a smothering blanket of process.

But back to the point . . . the intention was never to create the ultimate system that was totally amazing but only when staffed with complete experts who were also psychically connected. The intention was to ditch process hell.
My advice to learn programming is to avoid shortcuts and do the hard things like read the documentation
Why? I'm significantly less productive and competent without tools, and this applies to every human I've ever known.
You should spend a few hours turning the useless ones off, making the non-urgent ones silent, and filtering the important ones. For each notification, ask yourself "do I need to know this now?" If not, turn it off.

My phone only lets calls and instant messages through. Bank notifications are silent. Everything else is turned off.

Then filter email the same way. My inbox is a sacred space. It's similarly quiet.

It made a big difference for me. I get sidetracked a lot, and reducing interruptions and unnecessary information helped.

Focus mode on iOS is great for situations like that - no huzzing, and nitifications are hidden until you tap to reveal them.

As for the phone security - same for me, but because of that it needs such protections that I can leave it anywhere and I know that my data won’t be breached.
I was there for when ECP and EPP were a new thing. Same for 50 ohm resistors on thicknet and plenty of other random things I could rattle off to establish bonafides.

I understand what you're saying but the world has evolved - there are plenty of tools for a variety of problems.

I have Pis going back to 1B, and they have their place. However, the supply shortage of Pis doesn't come from the use case you're describing. It comes from an entire world of people defaulting to them for anything and everything.

There are plenty of kids who want to play with GPIO where a Pi is the best approach who can't get one because there are people trying to build a NAS, a commercial product, drive multiple 4k displays, etc - even though there are plenty of better ways to go about that. At this point Raspberry Pi sucks the oxygen out of the room for so many more appropriate solutions.

In many ways the Raspberry Pi is a victim of it's own broad capabilities and success.
By that logic torrents are bad for piracy too.
> A larger question: Are we hurling ourselves toward a (near) future of unaligned AGI with self-improvement capabilities?

We are running towards a brick wall and people are not paying attention. Setting up self-reflection loops today is actually fairly trivial and can be done programmatically, all the model needs is to produce a solution, invoke the evaluation and keep iterating.
What do you mean by the question? Non-agile people? You mean people that don’t do scrum? Or do you want someone to step forward and say: “I’m really rigid and refuse to change direction once I start, this is how I get things done…”

If you mean no scrum, simple, no card wall, tasks are epics, trust people to know what to do and let them do it. Help people when needed.

Literature of such extremes as Stephen King books... This is such an arbitrary line to draw, because detailed sex can happen in both mainstream novels and in erotica, and people can be surprised by just how detailed the novels are. And the mainstream may breach quite a lot of rules that erotica publishers might keep (such as age restrictions).

Yet, I doubt Stripe has a problem selling 'It' [0], despite it having a sex train run on an underage girl with excessive description.

I mostly agree with the conclusion, but your premise is shaky. Positive law (as in, laws which are of human creation) are not inherently bad because humans made them. Humans are more than capable of creating good laws which protect the common good against the worst parts of human nature. But they are also capable of creating bad laws.

We have to analyse each law on its own merit.
