I wouldn't call it a psychological barrier so much as a game-theoretical one. If an employer knows that an employee is looking for jobs, their continued employment would be at risk, they could be silently passed over for promotion, etc. I suspect that most people posting in WWTBH are currently unemployed.
While Book Depository definitely had some of the lowest prices, I wouldn't say we're very much dependent on Amazon - I've found that almost everything I've looked for can be found in a handful of bookshops around Ireland (Chapters, Kennys, Charlie Byrnes, Easons, Books Upstairs, Vibes and Scribes) - it's been a good few years since I've had to rely on book depository for a book
> Is it a sign of so called developed tech industry which considers religions like Christianity and Islam as superstition bending down in front of Hindu theocracy?

Not likely… it’s more that your average non-Hindu who has never been to India for a protracted period of time has likely zero idea who Narendra Modi is, has never even heard of the BJP (much less the RSS) and hasn’t the slightest clue how to distinguish a Hindu-nationalist utterance from a Hindu-non-nationalist one. If they bothered to hear either.

I also think it’s incorrect to say that the tech industry a) is all that secular or b) is anywhere near as dismissive of (especially Christian) religiosity as you’ve implied. In the USA it’s bad for business (and recruiting) to be anti-(especially Christian) faith, and it’s outright illegal to actually discriminate against any given faith (though a lot of Christians make a big show of feeling discriminated against when their performative faith marketing isn’t aggressively promoted, see also the annual War On Christmas on Faux News).

More likely than deference to Hindu theocracy — which doesn’t really (yet) exist, Modi is a power-seeking populist who leverages zealots, not a zealot — is a less than informed attempt at inclusivity and an inability to distinguish faith-X-nationalism (always bad) from faith-X (often, but far from always, bad).

A custom desk surface with a pocket cut into it to hold a glass mousepad (Skypad 3.0), so the top of the mousepad is flush with the desk surface. This means items on the desk such as the keyboard can be repositioned freely without hitting the side of the mousepad.

The desk surface is a single sheet of 4'x2' plywood, with solid wood edging strips glued to it. The pocket was cut with a hand router, positioned using wooden fences clamped to the plywood. The surface finish of the inside of the pocket is kind of rough, but it's not visible through the mousepad. The whole thing is varnished, and screwed to a steel desk frame I got for free from a local school that was disposing of old furniture.

So if you are doubtful about the integrity of a post, you can look up their blockchain ID and find out what have they been doing elsewhere publicly. Additionally, any post that does not attach a blockchain tag or something will simply get filtered out or ignored.

I actually know of quite a few projects that use ECS as the foundation for a low level rendering library precisely because it lets you iterate over a bunch of plain arrays, but with more flexibility.

The overhead of an ECS depends on many things, but if you have lots of entities with similar components, the overhead per entity can be quite small.

I would say that's pretty clear in the long run. AI will most likely create jobs, but how many jobs can it create ? Every white collar job potentially affected against what exactly ?

So we can have more of the "gene out of the bottle" or "train has left the station" response ?

+1 for your question.

Maybe I misunderstood who you meant. I was thinking about business leaders striking lucrative deals, mayors appointed by the Russian administration, and so on.

I think there will probably be some resistance, but once the Russian troops leave Crimea, I can't see a popular uprising against the Ukraine as a state or something like that. Time will tell. I don't think Russia can hold Crimea in the long run. I'm not qualified to even guess, but when did that stop anybody?! :-D

I think it's likely Kiev will control Crimea within 24 months.
> What legitimate business russia has being in Ukraine at all?

That's a strange question. There is very little common sense when a war is in progress. What legitimate business US had in Afghanistan? Such questions make zero sense.

30 minutes ago I jumped off a call with my parents in Ukraine. That's what they told me. That's what they've been telling me pretty much every day since the war began.

I definitely regret not interviewing for jobs right away when I graduated a few months ago. At the moment I was thinking that in a few months the job market would still be hot.

On top of that, as a new grad, finding early career positions is difficult. Most of the opening are SR level.

Seems like nothing is sacred to the corporate quarterly reports.

As a hobbyist that has been my perception of the situation as well, though I wasn’t sure if I was just missing something.

The potential is immense and exciting, but try as I might, I can’t seem to make even fairly simple things work reliably as I want them to.

One thing I love about embedded projects is that you can achieve pretty incredible reliability because everything can be so dialed in and isolated from points of failure in, say, an operating system. Trying to use ML for simple tasks felt like it eliminated that and introduced seemingly arbitrary failure into projects I really needed to work perfectly.

Again, just a hobbyist, so I can’t make any broad statements. It seems to align with what you’re saying though. Once we get past this hump and have more powerful/effective models at a reasonable price point, I feel like it could be transformative. At the moment it’s still extremely interesting and fun to experiment with.

Right, i don't think anyone is suggesting to use this as an operational data store.

Use it for infrequent/read/analytical/training access patterns. Set you bucket to infrequently accessed mode, partition data and build out a catalogue so you're doing as little listing/scanning/GETting as possible.

Use an operational database for operational interaction patterns. Unload/elt historical/statistical/etc data out to your data warehouse (so the analytical workloads aren't bring down your operational database) as either native or external tables (or a hybrid of both). Cost and speed against this kinda of data is going to be way cheaper than most other options mostly bc this is columnar data with analytical workloads running against it.

It seems clear that the space of all possible texts to predict is so vast, that the only way to do effective prediction like that is to do actual "understanding".

This makes sense if you think about it from a Kolmogorov complexity point of view. A program that outputs correct colors for all of those boxes, and does all the other things, based on memorization alone, will end up needing a hopelessly gigantic "chinese room" dictionary for every combinatorial situation. Even with all the parameters in these models, it would not be enough. On the other hand, a program that simply does the logic and returns the logically- correct result would be much shorter.

Seems obvious so I'm not sure why this confused argument continues.

> Ironically, MBAs are often mocked on HN

It's possible to have strongly negative opinions of both MBAs and middle managers, even if they don't perfectly overlap.

> now I find it ironic that you find it shocking that managers (who don't complete an MBA) don't know what the prominent theories are

Hard to be "shocked" anymore, since it's so normalized, but if we break it down:

- Management theory is mostly bereft of useful information

- Most managers don't learn the theory anyway

- Most managers don't bother to try to get better at their jobs, and if they do, it's by reading vapid articles like this one or going to the expensive training version of the same

- Higher-level managers earn multiple times what ACs ("actual contributors") earn

- Bad managers can, and do, sink entire teams, and may represent some of the biggest risk to most companies, and yet virtually no effort is ever made to hold any managers accountable for anything, because the only people who could do that are other, higher-level managers, whose jobs are even more worthless, and they know it, so bad managers are kept around because otherwise the entire House of Feudalism could collapse

- Good managers are frequently praised for their ability to protect their reports from the torrent of stupid bullshit coming from above them in the chain, and yet nobody ever asks why the fuck there's a torrent of stupid bullshit coming from higher-level managers, who, again, make much more than the people being protected from their wanton disregard for effective management.

Are you not shocked?
