I’m not going to reply to you again after this. So take this to heart.

You pushing executive and CTO roles. You no longer have an internet persona and a work persona. They are one. As a CTO you become a brand. That brand is more important than anything. As a CTO, you are almost your own company. A legitimate BOD will not approve bringing you on with posts and history like this. During the due diligence process they will exclude you. The fact you don’t understand this, is a problem

The fact you are “professional” doesn’t matter. You are being defensive, and that’s not about outward appearances as you surmise. That’s about problem solving and how you think internally. you felt the need to comment the same thing twice, copy and paste, illustrates you’re very defensive. That is a problem.

That was NOT a good performance review. A good performance review is required to have a negative item because if you don’t know the depths of negativity of something. You don’t really know it. You can’t weigh its pros and cons to an unbias and logical end. The fact that they couldn’t come up with more negative things is a failure on their leadership. They’re either not looking deep enough, don’t care to do so, or didn’t want to provide feedback to avoid confrontation. The fact that YOU can’t identify this, the fact that YOU think it’s ok. Is a failure on your leadership and is a problem.

The fact that you can’t articulate how or why equity is important. Or how to use it. Is a problem.

The fact you’re hung up on them, the fact they didn’t do what you wanted, and that it “cost them 600 million”. This post and it’s comments.. Shows extreme hubris and conceited behavior. That is a problem.

The answers you seek my friend are not external. They are internal. Only by being true with yourself, self aware, and knowing your self will you be able to move forward with your career both monetarily and positionally.

My very unscientific take is the noises are the result of a mundane mechanical process that is a consequence of the plant not having enough water or loss of water due to cutting, which leads to some cavitation bubbles forming. So it may only be as interesting as saying that your water starts "screaming" when it is being boiled.

The US spends more on its citizens than almost any other country, and more on helping other countries than any other country.

The problem with making something nationalised or a utility is you'd better have made sure there's no innovation needed or risk required. Once that's all settled, then maybe consider it.

Neighborhoods are built slower than cars are, and the increase in car size has outpaced construction. Sure we should fix our neighborhoods, but they're not the main reason behind increasing car sizes.
It sounds like Ziff Davis is giving them the freedom to remove them, and focus on more substantive content, rather than their previous owners, G/O Media, which forced them to deal with it for economics reasons.

The more substantive thing is the change-of-ownership, which should, in-theory, allow them to grow in a way that diverges from G/O Media (and formerly the Gizmodo/Gawker empire) strategy.

Marriage is service.

Being happy to serve your wife/husbands needs - and indeed the needs of your children is a necessary foundation for a happy home.

Most criminals who are caught are not criminal masterminds. The opposite, actually, otherwise they'd probably not be caught, since their opponents aren't of the Sherlock Holmes kind either. Especially in the cyber crime field, where barrier to entry is pretty low. Source: been acting on both sides, for research.
I agree on most point but dim to warm is pretty undesirable in my point of view. I'd like to just be able to set the color temperature independently of brightness. Which I can do with my zigbee lights.
I'd wait until the open issue to select words and another one to allow more command composability are closed with PRs :)

Meanwhile you could use something like this (if you already have the word selected as you might likely have since Helix selects by default, then delete the first two command that expand your selection to a word like in Sublime)

'*' = ['select_mode' #
, 'move_prev_word_start' #
, 'move_next_word_end' #
, 'search_selection' #
, 'extend_search_next' #
, 'exit_select_mode' #
] # = find_under_expand
The original title as posted was closer in wording to the actual article’s title. The edit feels more provocative (er, “clickbait” is the local term) than unedited.
I can guess a few reasons:

* Cars tend to be bigger i.e. more dangerous in the US

* Drink driving seems to be more acceptable in the USA.

* The driving test in the UK is much tougher than even the toughest us state

* Most of the US don't have mandatory annual vehicle inspections to check they're safe and roadworthy
Numbers add up quickly.
While it was thrilling for a moment to imagine myself as a disgruntled former Twitter staff member, that is not the case and I have not been employed there.

My statement above was to read ’we’ as in as the tech community not ‘we’ Twitter staff; others have quoted some of the sources on this thread, but it was definitively reported by a few different outlets at the time.
No idea what a Google Collab is, but does the code come with an environment or at least a specifications of which packages and versions to use (requirements.txt)?

It sounds unnecessarily weird to me that people would share Python code that simply doesn't work out at all out of the box.
> I’ve never once heard of anyone seeking ‘American tech’

One reason people have a distorted idea of what physical products the US produces, so I've read, is that most of them are products for industrial use, in factories and so on.

You look at consumer products that are made in..., because that's where the finishing touches are put on. That's not representative of the global economy though.
> Feminism has made most women unfit for marriage. The very idea that casting the relations between men and women as a pseudo-Marxist class struggle could lead to happy marriages and households is insane.

As someone who has a ton of (female) friends who call themselves feminists I never heard any of them portrait marriage even in the slightest like you did here. I highly suspect you fell victim to some form of online exaggeration here.

Most female feminists I know just want a respectful relationship with people from the other gender. And in a romantic relationship or a marriage that means that men e.g. should not automatically assume that the women will organize the household while they chill out.

A household where both partners have respect for each other is certainly a more happy household than the old patriarchal model I know from my childhood.

> The ability to control boom and bust cycles by messing with the money supply is the whole point.

Except they're a failure at it. We have boom and bust cycles anyway. Remember 2000, 2008, 2022? Friedman also demonstrates in "Monetary History of the United States" that the hand of the Fed on the tiller results in less stability of the money supply.

The "whole point" of fiat money is to be able to spend money without having to tax it first. That's why the European powers adopted it in WW1 - to finance the war.

> I fail to see how that refutes anything?

It refutes the notion that the quantity of gold in an economy has anything to do with prosperity.

Why have Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, S Korea, and New York City become economic powerhouses despite little or no land?
The small car is safer to be in. The person with the small car is causing less danger.

You are participating in the victim blaming and the arms race by conflating the externalisation of risk with safety. And there is no need to aggregate to see the effect. It is present in every individual case.

The person in the big car is not being safer, they are being more dangerous and more selfish. Just because they perceive that their selfishness is exceeding the added danger (something not borne out by the stats) does not justify it. Acknowledging the framing of the auto industry is making the problem worse.
They’re probably a math teacher and want them to learn about punch cards before introducing complex concepts like a floppy disk.
That's a common misconception. Systemd has absorbed many disconnected projects, all of which were having their own issues well before systemd.

It's a net security win once you have done the math. I did it 2 years ago but I would think the logic still holds true.
> But guess what: you are not special, you are just a workplace and you compete in the marketplace for talent just like everybody else. For economic reasons that have nothing to do with you, you have more negotiating power for a limited time. That is all.

I think it’s perfectly legitimate to not want to hire people with this attitude. Just a few people with this attitude can completely ruin an early stage company.

And the same goes in the other direction: I don’t want to work for anybody who sees me as a commodity they’ve bought in a market. I’m sorry, but I am special: there is only one of me on this planet.

I don't know if it's the same in the U.S but here (Israel) unionizing means two massive competitive disadvantages for companies:

1. Inability to fire low performers quickly (and often times at all)

2. Inability to reward monetarily high performers (or offer competitive pay)

That's a hell of a handicap for companies to accept without a fight.
It’s hard to read something about American work ethic without a reference to puritans and Protestant work ethics, which emphasized self improvement and productivity as a means of being closer to God and Gods aspiration for man. This belief system suffuses American ethos top to bottom, from the stories children are told to traditions like working over the summer in high school, having a paper route, etc. Add to it a strong influence the Great Depression had on families, leading into the war, leading into obsessive work habits of the 1950’s and 1960’s.

I lost a bit of the thread but I think the author is trying to get at - what does the American work ethic mean in a post scarcity economy - I think is important to deal with as I think it’s a lot closer than we think. Will we create artificial hamster wheels for everyone? To what extent is the hamster wheel artificial already? Sans health care, many folks could more than satisfy their needs and wants with much less. Will the “system” as it were hold our basic needs like health care as extortion to keep the hamster wheels occupied? Or will a fundamental shift in priorities occur where basic needs are met with the plenty and people of ambition labor for the premium? What about a day when work that is today premium, thought labor, is automated with the steam engine of the mind? What labor would be the premium labor then? Ultimately I wonder if American society, particularly with its highly aggressive conservatism, can survive post scarcity.

No. Marriage is a legal construct on top of everything. And then it could be service, but it also could also be abuse.

A healthy relationship does both. You of course support and help each other. But you also have to have the space for yourself. A person that just looks at the other will not be happy in the long run.

The type of relationship your proposal results in would in my experience not last very long. I am in one happy relationship for half of my life now and have seen countless relationships fall apart over the years.
This is another proof that "if you have nothing to hide, you jave nothing to fear" is wrong".
ChatGTP/4 is to AGI what pepper’s ghost is to holography.

It’s a parlor trick, even if you add plugins or the ability to call other hugging face ML models - it’s just a parlor trick with fancier bells and whistles. All it is doing is using stochastic gradient descent to predict the next word in a sequence based on an enormous sophisticated training set designed to amaze people.

Thinking it has advanced because it can now get calculations correct is a fallacy. It’s still just predicting the next word, it’s just that it’s now got a post processing step that is converting those next words into code and parroting the output. It maybe be able to now answer 4567*9876 correctly (using the human hardcoded wolfram alpha engine) but it still does not fundamentally comprehend why 1+1=2 - like my 5 year old can.

Until it can generate its own internal neural networks to for example learn to logically reason about calculations we are still far from AGI. Also those calling for more data are misguided - less data, more sophisticated architectures than transformers are the only way to avoid the stochastic parrot trap.
Load Testing for 2022 Wrapped
I think you are right, my estimate is much much too low.

I'll explain my mistake and why I made it.

I think I thought to use the estimate I did because Elon claimed he didn't know. The prior probability of not knowing something in a code base with millions of lines is very high, but contingent on his involvement in the change the prior that he is aware of it is much higher. So I started the estimate attempt with the probability that I thought better predicted the production of evidence claiming he didn't know.

Your point does raise my estimate substantially, but I think it probably raises it less than you would expect. I don't agree with your 1/300M prior, because I'm aware that hot users get special treatment. I've seen Elon's account thrown around in interview-style questions about hot users before and used as an example of a hot account that needs special treatment. This is something I've witnessed, but it wasn't contingent on Twitter being acquired and it happened prior to Twitter being acquired.

I also don't particularly assign high odds to wanting it, based on the evidence that he claimed to not want it implicitly by wanting it removed. I don't think it seems appropriate to get to near certain probability the he wanted it with the evidence being that he stated that he didn't want it. In my view there isn't a compelling reason for him to lie about this. He owns Twitter, so if he wanted them to have his account monitored that would be a reasonable thing well within his authority. If he wanted it, he doesn't need to pretend to not want it in order to appease someone.

It does seem to me that the odds that the change was added in response to someone thinking he wanted it is much higher than 1%.
There has to be a better way. I really think TripleByte was on to something. No other profession has such a convoluted interviewing system. Imagine if doctors were expected to perform surgeries in X minutes in order to prove they were qualified for the job? Imagine if a lawyer had to prove they graduated from law school by defending a random felon in a court setting.

No other profession in existence expects candidates to dance on command the way we are expected to. Why do I have to prove over and over and over and over again that I can solve fizz-buzz or some other, similar brain teaser whose solution I more or less memorized. Why can't employers look at the plethora of code-related stuff with my name attacked to it that's out there on the Internet, ask me a few questions, and conclude that yep, he in fact knows what he is doing and probably did in fact work at these places he has listed on his resume.

My thought on this is it’s depressing we replaced the community with the office. That’s an emergent reality caused by the extremeness of office hours and commute times as people adjust to a new reality they will find each other again - this time in their neighborhood.
Are you seriously blaming the US's horrible society on all the latam countries they deliberately destabilized?
Yeah but despite all that they should still give leftists a platform to tweet.

In these circumstances definitely. It's a tall ask to accurately evaluate someone romantically or professionally based on a profile/resume and a few hours of face time. I think unions have a good method of doing this actually: people no one wants to work with wash out.

I agree that it is good to not be only selfish in a relationship. But the quotes from Plutarch paint a picture of a heavily skewed relationship.

E.g.:

> A wife ought not to make friends of her own but enjoy her husband’s friends in common with him

> a virtuous woman ought to be most visible in her husband’s company and to stay in the house and hide herself when he is away.

> If therefore a man in private life, who is incontinent and dissolute in regard to his pleasures, commits some peccadillo with a paramour or a maidservant, his wedded wife ought not to be indignant or angry, but she should reason that it is respect for her which leads him to share his debauchery, licentiousness, and wantonness with another woman.

For me this paints the picture of a fearful, unfaithful husband who lacks confidence.
> I wonder how low a resolution in facial keypoints you would have to go to have any plausible claim that the data is no longer PII?

It doesn't matter how low the matching resolution is, they still need to store the whole image somewhere to show the match and that is 100% personal information
Honestly, I'm still using PHP. Tried and true. Who cares if it's hated? Very few end users know, or even care, what it's built with. They care whether it works or not. Do you care if your house was built with DeWalt battery nail guns or a hammer? Do you care if your Uber Eats came via a Honda or a scooter?

Sure, PHP 8 has a couple issues if you're upgrading old code. But so does any code base. Beware of the greener grass. Be thankful you're not upgrading to python 3, angular, or anything that starts with "R" and ends with "eact".

Just because Hacker News hates on PHP doesn't mean it's the wrong tool for your job. It's clearly working for you so far, so it might be the best balance still. Remember that all of these decisions about systems and languages and frameworks are trade-offs of balance, not correctness. Also, refactoring in a new language will be more painful than supporting and maintaining PHP8.
