Agreed that the second seems more reasonable!

It matters a lot if the interviewer is not quizzing you on trivia or waiting for you to trip and fall.

> I feel more confident in judging their validity and my role in their outcomes… and calling out ones that are disrespectful.

I wish we could all do that! One overlooked aspect of this humiliating process is that it saps your confidence. I've seen it happen. After a bunch of failed interviews, the person starts feeling it's their fault and that they cannot possibly be good, and this informs their attitude for the next challenge, which they fail, and so on.

We do have a worse starting point, but as another commenter has pointed out, we're trending in the right direction and China is trending in the wrong direction.

Part of the solution is necessarily going to be temporary reductions in American energy consumption, writ large, until we can produce technology to sustainably remove carbon emissions from the environment at scale. I'm all-in, for instance, on banning SUVs and "light" trucks for personal ownership, which categorically require more energy input (regardless of whether gasoline, hydrogen, electric, etc) than sedans and compact cars - to say nothing of the pedestrian safety risks, no less.

Hell, I'm open to considering energy quotas for residential homes, to be reduced to a level sufficient only for the sustainment of life past a certain threshold, to disincentive wasteful use of electricity.

These are all tiny steps in the right direction, and all insufficient alone, but our progress in saving the climate is a vector value, not a boolean value. A bunch of little improvements in the right direction do help, but we cannot accept them as a "complete" solution on their own.
I find it's context dependent. Sometimes everyone is working hard and doing their best and someone's being a toxic jerk. Sometimes things are going badly wrong and you need someone to actually stand up and say "Hey, how come these requirements keep changing we've wasted months doing something that was totally useless" or "Hey, how come our AWS bill is $100,000, and hang on a second, why isn't anyone monitoring our AWS bill?" or "Hey, the core premise of this project turns out not to be true, maybe we should really re-evalaute rather than ploughing on".

Sometimes requirements are unclear and you just have to learn as you go. Sometimes the AWS bill is the last of your porblems. Sometimes you find out something you had assumed at the outset is wrong, but you still believe in the project. It's context dependent.

Also, it's often more difficult to be the person asking the hard questions than the person who just goes along with things.
agree... I feel like burnout is in the eye of the beholder...

Some jobs will pressure you into overworking with no incentive, but you can still choose not to overwork yourself. In most cases burnout can be avoided by having a healthy view of work.
Of course employees should fight for their interests. But the way they're doing it here just strikes me as naive and without leverage they're unlikely to be successful.
1. The merchant tells them the amount and there's a QR code on the box to scan.

2. Within seconds. When I paid while over there it was 2 - 5 seconds. It doesn't say who the money is from though.

3. The merchant has to check their phone or trust the screen on the customers phone.

It works surprisingly well for 95% of use cases. Usually more than one person isn't checking out in parallel. It lets the merchant continue cooking / packing your items / pouring a tea for someone else / etc.

I think the author is just talking like they normally do.

There is generally a lot of jargon and acronyms used here. All the time. Just that most of it is regarding programming/development, so people don't notice it.

I'm going to politely call bullhicky on this statement. Sunburns have existed for much longer than 100 years - in fact, the first modern/commercial sunscreen was invented almost 100 years ago. Cursory searching shows that Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc had different methods of attempting sunscreen.

Is the sun worse now than then? Maybe, probably. But it's borderline alarmist to just declare sunburns are a recent phenomena.
I seem to remember the last time this happened the culprit was discovered to be people stealing CFC-containing waste tars from the factories they worked at, then selling them on for use in bitumen roads.

Iirc, CFCs are a unintended byproduct of a lot of industrial organic chemistry that uses chlorine - so there's an unfortunate mismatch of incentives between factories, which wish to reduce costs, politicians that want to reduce costs, and thus regulation and/or regulatory enforcement, and people who don't want a nice new melanoma.
First: the worst name for a company ever? Is it a person named Frank? Or a founder with a frank personality? Or a story about the kind of sausage called a Frank?

Anyway, wasn't there some business behind the supposed 4M users? You can fabricate 4M users in a csv file and insert them into your production DB, but shouldn't there be some revenue associated with those users, and couldn't the acquirers have looked to see if that revenue existed?
So interesting facts about that camera.

Most cameras have an IR Cut filter which acts to block IR light from the camera. This prevents IR light from flooding the sensor giving the image a red hue.

For astro photography IR light is useful. Hydrogen gas in nebulas can emit IR light. The human eye can't see it, but the camera sensor (without the IR Cut filter) can, and will be sensed as red light.

If one adds a visible light filter to the front of the camera, then the camera can take images of IR spectrum only.

Nikon and Canon both sell cameras without the IR Cut filter. Also third parties have been able to remove the IR Cut filter on existing camera bodies.

> A strong distinction in skin color is frequently seen in the portrayal of men and women in Ancient Rome. Since women in Ancient Rome were traditionally expected to stay inside and out of the sun, they were usually quite pale; whereas men were expected to go outside and work in the sun, so they were usually deeply tanned

Those commoners sometimes wore hats (pileus)

There are also descriptions of treatments for sunburn.

There's no doubt that the ozone layer depletion increases the amount of UV light that we receive. Sometimes dramatically(very location dependent). But it's not like people could just toast in the sun all day without protection and not get burned.
Too much. Mid-five figures
I've often wondered if I'm doing it wrong. I seem to feel the best when I've had a big breakfast, don't eat during the day, and have a light dinner. I also tend to lose weight when I do that.
People also had much lower life expectancies. I don't think it's useful to say that because the people in antiquity didn't have sun protection they were stronger or somehow immune to sunburns ... maybe they just died before living long enough for it to matter.

Or maybe they all died from cancers of all kinds, just not categorized as such, or died by murder / wars before cancer became an issue.

First thing comes to mind is Soviet Constructor Kits.
Langchain allows an LLM to initiate query and prompt workflows and observing the results in a sequential or conditional logic chain or workflow and invoking agents, while GPT Index (now Llama Index) excels at connecting an LLM to external data sources and implementing creative indexing schemes for querying within given token context windows. Right now they both fill a need and complement each other nicely.

There's something more fundamental going on here:

The concept of the ISA as a standard implemented by hardware, as opposed to the ISA being a document of what a specific hardware design does, goes back to the IBM System/360 family of computers from 1964. That was the first range of computers, from large to (let's be honest) somewhat less large, that could all run most of the same software, modulo some specialized instructions and peripheral hardware like disk drives not present on the cheapest systems, at different levels of performance. As others have said, microcode is plenty old, but the idea of architectural families is one of the things which really gets us to where we are now.

The difference is in part, personality. I do use WSB because they often find interesting speculative stocks. But I would never gamble more than 10% of my portfolio and I would never use leverage.

In part, the deathly combination lies in new participants in investing that use wsb and robinhood which allow overleveraged positions before those new participants actually learn how the market is priced and how your leverage in premiums is priced according to your risk. I dont think anyone with a portfolio over 10 years in the making would be willing to make the bets that I see on the forum.

Robinhood allowing margin trading is a regulatory mistake in my opinion.

Thank you stranger
Sorry, but there are multiple reports that point to pilot confusion. What you're displaying is exactly what Boeing leadership showed: an oversimplification of the problem, leading to poor understanding of the risk and necessary mitigations.

MCAS had a built in delay; it wasn't a continuous command. It would push the nose down and periodically disengage and allow pilots to bring the nose back up. This type of intermittent feedback is difficult to resolve in real-time, especially for an untrained pilot under stress.

But to the larger point, what you're relating is actually bolstering my point. The design philosophy was poor; they didn't fully understand the interaction effects of the system (to include software, hardware, people, and the environment). In that simplified mental model, they thought software was an easy fix to their problem and they didn't follow through with the necessary risk mitigation. This includes having a redundant AOA sensor feed into MCAS (which their hazard analysis already required), characterizing MCAS properly as having the potential for causing a 'catastrophic' mishap, training for their pilots (which they didn't think was necessary because it was the 'same' airframe, despite different handling characteristics), and an appropriate understanding the human factors that govern its use.

If we erroneously simplify our mental model and claim it's "just software" and an "easy fix," we miss all of that.
For me it's the other way around. Striming or local digital collection trigger my "let's skip to next song" impulse. While with LP I'll listen to entire album. So vinyl is for me medium of choice for sitting and listening at home.
You may be confusing NuScale with someone else.

NuScale got an approval for an SMR that produces 50 MW of electricity (see [1], published by NRC in the Federal Register)

> The NuScale reactor building is designed to hold up to 12 power modules. Each power module has a rated thermal output of 160 megawatt thermal (MWt) and electrical output of 50 megawatt electric (MWe), yielding a total capacity of 600 MWe for 12 power modules

NuScale has also applied for another approval, for a slightly larger design for an SMR that generates 77 MW of electricity. The review in underway [2]. They don't have any other reactor in the pipeline. 77 MW is more than the already approved 50 MW, but it is nowhere near what a full-size nuclear reactor produces.

Wasn’t the idea behind the settlement that pharmacists should be accountable for the prescriptions they filled?

I guess I’m confused - are you saying pharmacists should not be able to refuse to fill a script or they are not able?

As it stands they are able, and can be held accountable for doing so.

Maybe the law should change to where pharmacists are simply agents of the prescribed. But that’s not current law or custom.

The author here. The name eFile(.)com is bound to confuse some readers who may mistake it for IRS' e-file system/API. Probably why the company chose that brand name (SEO or whatever). IRS-authorised software providers (who need to apply and get certified https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/become-an-authorized-e-... ) include those who can have taxpayers use their software to e-file returns to the IRS. These also include Intuit's TurboTax.

Anyway, there's that and confusing domain names likes like e-file(.com) that have got nothing to do with the concerned efile(.com) or the IRS, hence that note.

Other media outlets (e.g.
https://www.pcworld.com/article/1682428/irs-certified-free-t... ) have put similar disclaimers in place for the avoidance of doubt: "(which is a separate, for-profit tax company, despite the identical name to IRS eFile)."

Thanks for noticing.
Perhaps I misunderstood the problem you were talking about. I thought it was leaving a key unprotected. A lockbox resolves that, by restricting access to the key to people who know the lockbox combination.

You mentioned rekeying the lock after the work, so I assumed that key copying wasn't the issue as you found a solution for that.
Why presume the worst instead of presuming they are acting in good faith and simply didn't think to expand their acronyms?

> AIs becoming sentient and causing harm for their own ends.

No one serious is worried about sentience. It really doesn't matter whether it's sentient, just whether we've made a thing that is better at modelling and planning than us and have given it goals that don't perfectly align with how we'd like the world to be.

We still aren't that close to something dangerous, but we could end up making one in the next few decades and we have no idea how to ensure we train it to do the right thing once it becomes powerful (humans given power tend to misalign quite badly with our desires as well and homo sapiens discovered contraception and misaligned with the "desires" of evolution fairly recently).
> They don't know if you acquired a dependent or lost one.

In many cases they do. Births need to be certified at the time. Adoptions and fosters and guardianships have their own paperwork that needs to be filed and sometimes court time. Deaths need to be certified at the time.

> They don't know if you are entitled to an EV credit.

Cars need to be registered and plated.

> They don't know if you are landlord with rental income and expenses.

Landlords can already setup income tax disclosure and withholding on rentals at the time of accrual, just about the same as any other job. It doesn't need to be an "April surprise" non-withheld lump sum to the IRS (and it probably shouldn't ever be, but I'm not your CPA). Expense-related tax credits are certainly a complication, but that's probably tax credits that should be simplified anyway. If it was desired to keep them, it would probably make sense to report them as frequently and as timely as income tax withholding is allowed to be.

The only real complication to most of the above is that in the current US federal system a lot of the data is state-managed (birth/death certificates, car registrations, etc) and there'd need to be some way to, uh, federate that data in a safe way. But some of that data already needs to be "federated" anyway (SSNs key off of birth certificates).

Who are they going to sue? Javice's stake in the company was only worth $21M.

That's pretty reasonable imho. Probably took several days of back and forth to establish what they wanted. Then a day to knock up the script, generate the output. Now several more days of back and forth about whether it's what they really wanted. Pad a bit for the risk that they never pay, possibility of legal action in the future, etc.

I lost no weight for months.Found I was eating sweets and cakes on my days "on" which more than made up for the fast.
Also be warned when you fast there is a marked reduction in your intelligence hard to explain but you will notice it if you start looking. Could be because I am a little older 53 but I think I can correlate the reduced performance directly to the fasting.
Still keeping at it and I will tell you why it is simple an easy way to eat and over the long term if you keep at it works.
> an engineer who is not experienced at architecting complex systems, goes and architects one when complexity was not required in the first place

I have dealt with opposite - a monolith-based company grew to a point where more complexity was required, but none of the engineers there seemed to have been equipped with an iota of distributed systems knowledge.

The "senior" and "staff" engineers obviously built something, and everyone was still monkeypatching out all the consistency issues 5+ years later, and some of them were still around declaring that there are no issues.
> America as you know it today, with all its prosperity, was created by people who were spanked as children.

I mean, I guess it could have been worse- you could have said "America as you know it today, with all its prosperity, was created by people who burned witches" or "...who practiced chattel slavery."

Those same people also practiced bundling [1] as a courtship ritual, and used mercury as a treatment for melancholy [2]. Out of all the practices you could have cited, why on Earth would you pick beating kids as a factor in America's success, instead of something more benign?

You're smart enough to know the difference between correlation and causation. Do you have evidence that physical discipline was the reason America became the country it is today?

If you don't have such evidence, how do you know that we wouldn't have been even more prosperous without corporal punishment as a child-rearing method?

I agree. China is either going to require us to find a real diplomatic solution, or get so good at producing technology that removes carbon from the environment sustainably, at scale, that we can simply suck up other countries' excess carbon. Either way, these will be expensive and the political will for such solutions is probably not here in our current political system. I commented further down about needing to address political corruption first and foremost (removing "lobbyists", overturning CU, etc) - I think this will be an important step in producing a political system that will even allow us to effectively address climate change in the first place.
