it depends on what you mean. I seen the hospital data (can't share it) and per capita bikes send more pedestrians to the hospital with series injury than cars - however cars have a higher kill rate.

One such woman walking down Locust Walk (University of PA) suffered severe brain damage and no longer can move all of her limbs. I can't tell you how many times I was nearly clipped by bikes speeding past me (at car speeds) and missed me by a few inches. Luckily the campus police started to prevent bicyclists from using Locust Walk.

but its a stupid argument anyways. we aren't comparing cars to bikes in this conversation. Many people can't use bikes. I'm sure in your bigoted mind (everyone should do as I see fit) that you didn't consider disabled persons, elderly, or even people with say - broken legs, but needless to say bikes are not for everyone. Thats not even taking into account bikes cant satisfy the vast majority of traveling needs of Americans. We aren't Europe. Our cities are bigger and things are further apart. Nor is bikes the one size fits all solution in the EU.
> Dunning and Krueger really did so research & find a negative correlation between self-rated ability and performance on an aptitude test afaik

No, they didn't.

They found a positive linear relation with between actual and self-assessed relative performance, with the intersection point at around the 70th percentile. (That is, people on average report themselves closer to the 70th percentile than they are, those below erring higher and those above erring lower.)

The (self-rated rank) - (actual rank) difference goes up as actual rank goes down, but that's not self-rated ability going up with reduced ability.
Agreed. I've found exactly one over a very long career, which is why I stick with them.
The problem is that some people want to treat people equally and not address any wrongdoing. And another group is fine to not treat people equally -- and since there is no one left to address wrongdoing, they can do so with impunity.
This is something I must watch out for in future partners, and you hit it right on with the compromises bit.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Ah yes, the "fake news" defense.
I think both are necessary to obtain your PhD. Publishing your research is frustrating, boring, repetitive work. Ideas that are far away from the mainstream are often difficult to publish, so intelligence alone won’t cut it, I’m afraid…

And if you’re interested in a fully funded PhD position in operating systems/virtualisation/compilers in one of the nicest places in Germany (Bamberg, a UNESCO world heritage site) Germany, please get in touch - hard working and/or intelligent students wanted :). Master degree in CS/CE or a related discipline is required. Teaching is mandatory (5 hours/week teaching load during the semester).

Naive English or native German speaker with excellent knowledge of English preferred.
I built a similar tool you are describing. A quick demo and a technical post is here: https://notespub.com/. However, truth be told, I migrated off Notes to Emacs Org-mode recently and didn't finish the project for GA. If it helps, I do plan to release it on Github soon-ish.

If you are willing to go the extra mile, it is not that difficult to export Notes with media files from Sqlite and templatize them, and I am happy to help.

> They could outsource the manufacturing and still sell to the same customers.

Twitter could completely outsource their software development and still sell advertising to its customers.

> Foxconn is a factory company.

Wtf does this even mean? Foxconn is a semiconductor manufacturer...

> Their customers are the likes of Dell and Apple.

Oh great, so Apple isn't a tech company anymore? Don't they write code that powers the back-end of virtually every iPhone in existence (backup, iCloud, iMessage, App Store, etc. etc.).

> Twitter operates servers and writes code. That's who they employ and how their business operates.

So how do you explain all of the sales people? Or the content regulation? Or the support? fun fact - when it was publicly traded Twitter spent nearly equally on R&D as it did S&M.

> Notably, the way they provide that service is not through employing reporters to write stories.

Because this is OUTSOURCED. It's user generated content.

I've had many friends and I get into some pretty gnarly bicycle accidents as single bike accident, a bicycle to bicycle accident, or a bicycle to pedestrian accident. Normally just bruised, scraped, and maybe minor cuts. One or two broke bones. The only people I know that have died while riding a bicycle died because they were struck by a car.

I've lost several friends and family members to car accidents.

Once again, if I'm going to be in an accident I'd probably take an accident between two bicycles at 12mph than two SUVs at 40mph.
Sort of goes with the territory with proclamations including words like "everything" and "everyone". "almost" feels like meaningless filler.

I think maybe there's a misunderstanding here. The 15 minute concept is that you should be able to access most things you need for day to day needs within a short walk, not that you should never travel further than 15 minutes from your home. It's that you shouldn't be required to have a car or someone who can drive you in order to access your basic needs.

Meanwhile, finding actual studies of regret of cosmetic surgery is much harder, because nobody cares or want to stop people from getting boob jobs unless they're trans. So we're stuck with poor quality surveys like this one [1] claiming 65% regret, this one done for a group with a profit motive [2] claiming 65% regret.

For reconstruction after breast cancer, it's not "so bad", with this actual study [3] finding "only" ca 20% moderate to strong regret for even reconstruction, and another ~28% expressing mild regret.

Even for non-cosmetic surgery, such as e.g. hip replacements etc., it's hard to find regret rates as low as for sex reassignment.

Should we ban all of these other treatments too?

With Twitter, I can at least assume the admins don't give a fuck about the average user. On Mastodon, an admin will be serving far fewer users and might actually be motivated to snoop on someone they know.
And consider the Monopoly experiment where some people are given twice the money, still attribute the fact that they win to their decision making and the losers losing to their poorer decision making.

We psychologically will never attribute what we've accomplished to external factors and will never see that those who don't accomplish what we've done may be disadvantaged -- even with the factors are pretty obvious.

> The sad reality was that it was waaaay too effective as a fizzbuzz eliminator (> 80%) which I don't know what it tells me about the candidates in general or just about our recruiting :-)

I suspect there are a lot more people who frequently choke on easy coding questions, under the very specific conditions of interview-stress (which is very different from, "the client is unhappy and is also onsite and you'll be in a meeting with them later" stress, and from "production broke" stress, so no, I don't think it's a good proxy for general "grace under fire", as it were, either) than there are actual full-on bullshitters who manage to land software jobs while being truly incapable of doing even the basics of the job.

For one thing, I think such top-tier, extremely-convincing bullshitters would have an easier and less-stressful time applying that skill directly to some other role, since there are some well-paid roles where that kind of thing is exactly what companies want, so it doesn't pass the smell test for me that so very many would be trying to land software jobs—not just ones who exaggerate skill or try to get into the industry while woefully unprepared, but who also are able to fool interviewers at a reasonably-high rate in conversational interviews, yet fail simple coding tests.

That is, I suspect a large majority of "ha! I caught a faker!" anecdotes or anec-data are actually a false-negative on the test from people choking under interview conditions, and that most real fakers would also have been caught in any half-competent conversational interview anyway.

The remainder should be probably be hired regardless, then re-homed to sales when you realize what's going on, since they're evidently top-percentile bullshitters and social chameleons. Joking, of course... kinda. Maybe.
Those are the major actions taken that affect the platform, so it’s not at all unreasonable to assume those are the actions you’re referring to. Why don’t you just share what you’re referring to?
...wow.
> Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding, but figuring out the "best current path" means re-running A* every time you break a wall, as removing arbitrary walls can give you a totally new path to the goal; to wit, it might be a path not even originally visited by A*. And you have to do that every time you try out a wall candidate, so to me this appears to be quadratic(ish) complexity.

My algorithm should obviously work using Dijkstra's algorithm instead of A*. You just have to make sure ALL nodes are explored. You don't have to run searches per node.

Why it works with A* too is MUCH more subtle. In fact it only works if your A* implementation is fair to all likely shortest paths; most implementations do not guarantee fairness. You can enforce fairness by changing your heuristic to be only 0.9999 * Manhattan distance. Fairness ensures that any path that will be the best path after deleting a wall will have a cost recorded for both sides of the wall.

> (But maybe this is exactly what the SO answer does "under the hood," to be honest, I haven't done a deep complexity analysis of it.)

If the original maze is 2D with coordinates (x,y), the SO algorithm is essentially searching in a 3D maze with coordinates `(x,y, number of times crossed a wall)` and directional edges from `(x,y,n) to (x+dx,y+dy,n+1)` if there is a wall there.*
It's 100 at 13 and extremely close to it prior to that. Maybe basically 100 is better.

But even if the job actually requires solving puzzles like that one, what's the point of asking the candidate to solve it in 45 min? Without googling? That's what it's actually totally unrealistic.

Give me any problem related to algorithms+ds to be solved in 45mins without internet access and someone looking over my shoulder and I will give you a poor solution. But give me a day and internet connection and I will solve the problem in the most efficient/readable/maintainable way possible.
I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with admitting we as humans have these kinds of pre-selection social biases baked into us as a survival trait. We just have to be conscious of it and try to fight it when we sense it working against our goals, especially in a hiring context.

That said what you did for your friend was perfectly reasonable knowing full well many people have these biases and will not make the effort to fight them consciously.

Yes. Public figures should never be immune to criticism.

> hiding behind "it's just the facts" to be unkind I find is unhelpful.

Okay, let's say I'm being unkind. Then you are too because you're criticizing me. Which is fair; you're allowed to. But it's unkind by your own standard, especially if "it's never just that."

Just to clarify: I believe that criticizing public figures is not unkind in and of itself.

It's not just social pressure, it's simply a biological fact. For each year after ~30, the chance of having something wrong with a child during pregnancy goes up. On average in relationships, women's greatest value is their youth and beauty (early/mid 20s), men's greatest value is when they've progressed in their career and are amassing wealth (mid/late 30s). There's nothing wrong about pointing this out, they're just the realities about modern relationships. Yet we can never honestly discuss them because people have a hard time controlling their emotions about it.
That's how it works. The most common fingerprinting techniques use display settings, e.g. viewport size and this dark mode stuff
The disdain is fueled by companies' behavior. Your approach makes sense, but if that were the case, then a DSA whiteboard interview should be a fail/pass -- a company shouldn't prefer a candidate that managed to cook up an O(n log n) solution over a candidate that only got a solution in O(n2). In my experience, no company doing whiteboard interviews works like that. As OP themselves said in another comment, "it's not a binary yes/no, but gives a range to score the candidate"

At the end of the day, you can't test for negatives and just pick a random person that doesn't fail anything. You need to have a defined set of values to look for in a candidate, and to design an interview that tests for those values. That's why I hate DSAs -- for most (all?) companies, they're treated as dogma rather than a pragmatic solution to a difficult problem.
But the mere association itself does not mean you agree with that kind of content. As an example, would you vilify a scientist studying extremism because he regularly reads Neo-Nazi forums for his research?

There are many reasons to read something other than "I am reading this because I love and agree with every aspect of it". In fact, it is probably common knowledge that only ever reading stuff you wholeheartedly agree with is quite a bad idea. Echo chambers, social media "bubbles" and all that. Also, it can be good to build a tougher skin, can't it?

i have made similar experiences, not as strong, but i always felt like an outsider in school and in my environment mainly because i didn't want to fit in.

living in a different country made this a lot easier to deal with. i changed from being an outsider to being a foreigner, which the locals were curious about and i felt more accepted because there is no expectation for a foreigner to fit in.
Unfortunately that's the appeal (and basically the value proposition) of linkedin - it's social media dressed up to make you feel like you're doing something, when you're really just polishing a turd (as it were). Anything is better than spending time there, if you want a job or clients or whatever, but it's the easiest thing to do so people keep coming back.
But it has few available chips right now, none of which are ultra-pow-power IoT app cores, and the big stacks like Zephyr & Matter & NuttX & FreeRTOS only support a sprinkling of chips anyways.

I don't disagree with you per se, but it's still such early formative years & progress is slow.

The core is just such a small part too. It's great to see risc-vites starting to spec our the rest of the platform too. But like the first decades of ARM, it feels like most chips especially lightweight ones have bespoke Device-Tree configuration, rather than real platform.

You need to reach the point where you have the appropriately shared context with the other person so that you are both able to work in the same direction.

That often involves explaining the situation sufficiently so that it is clear that the thing you are looking for doing it in such a way is the way that it needs to be done.

The vast majority of the time, when such questions are posted they are in the form of a work order and people who have gone through "maybe I should do XY" in the past have encountered some problems and are trying to warn you off of that path for the incomplete context that has been provided.

In such cases, it is necessary for the person with the question to sufficiently explain the problem, the context, and the constraints so that is is clear that XY, despite its known issues remains the clear and correct course of action.
Being completely serious here. Go to any store selling homeopathic medicine and pick something off the shelf. Maybe it's placebo or maybe it works.

Ah we're starting to bootstrap.

For decades in reinforcement learning we've had Q learning, which promises to solve any optimization problem if only we can build a powerful enough function approximator. It can even learn off-policy, meaning it can just watch from the sideline and find the optimal solution. It works for toy problems, and it works in theory, theres even formal proofs that it will work given infinite time and resources, and yet in practice it often becomes unstable and collapses.

Supervised learning is one thing, having a model remain stable while bootstrapping through a complex environment is another. GTP is supervised learning, so far, let's see if it can bootstrap.
My company recently hired someone that I'm absolutely convinced can't code and produces all their code by copy pasting into/from ChatGPT.

Second it means their code is consistently a pile of shit.

Looks that way to me... I really liked a LOT about MongoDB, I don't think they had a good story for administration of scale + redundancy. RethinkDB, Cassandra and others have a ring + redundancy model which I think is easier to deal with. Where Mongo at least was limited to replication or sharding, and was a serious pain to deal with from the admin side imo.

Understanding the advantages and shortfalls is sometimes harder too. Mongo having multiple secondary indexes is pretty nice as well. Haven't dug into FerretDB, my first question is if it will run over the top of CockroachDB, as that's how I would probably want it configured. Then, I'm not sure if I wouldn't just use the JSONB surface in PostgreSQL/CockroachDB directly.

I think it just really depends on how/what you need to accomplish.

It's clear you've not researched ethics thoroughly. I guess all those philosophers just needed to agree to use the same exact interpretation of the same holy books and there would be no need for discussion, right?

The Methodists are hardly a fringe group.

Atheism is "disastrous" only in that it is based on non-belief, not that Atheists themselves are detrimental to society.

The hundreds/thousands of protestant sects counter your statement that "religious texts have a meaning." They are long, often self-contradictory, and open to many interpretations. Not "a" meaning, but many "meanings." Again, the things you are claiming to be strength do not bear out in reality.

I think you to be better than the sociopath you claim to be. Do you only abstain from murder and rape and lying and cheating to avoid punishment in the afterlife? Because while I may have "baseless" moral conjectures, a simply moral code of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is superior in a myriad of ways.

You admit yourself, morals are based off standards. We can agree to those which bear out healthy, happy, productive societies or ones which do not. It's funny how most people consider theocracies to have a negative connotation.

Still waiting to hear what punishment is befitting a person of non-belief.
