that posters cannot reach an audience beyond their own server. the point of a microblogging platform is to create and consume content, but who wants to publish to a platform that doesn’t have the largest potential reach? and if the best content creators aren’t on the platform, why would the consumers be?
A great interview question is:

“Tell me about a software project you played a significant role in. What did it do, how did it work, who made the tech choices, what was your role in it, what went right, what went wrong, if you were to rebuild it what would you do differently, what did you learn?”

I know it’s really a lot of questions but it’s still just one in a way “talk to me, in a free form back and forth way about software development”.
An mp3 player repeating something does not believe it.

There is no way even at any level of abstraction and squinting just right to use a term like that for what chatgpt is or does. It's fancy auto-complete. Literally matching and mashing up patterns against other writings by probability. That's it. Auto-complete is neither understanding nor believing.
I’m guessing no one wanted this, because stepping into JSON with forward slashes is trivial if you wanted to do it, and no one would do that. Making a standardized “safe” JSON query like json.array[3][“baz”] that is JS compatible might be interesting, but still really trivial to do.
While being good at Leetcode is not necessarily negatively correlated with being a good software engineer, is is also not positively correlated. Thus, by relying on it solely, you are still making a coin-toss decision about the software engineering skills of the candidate.

How does that work with new grads?
Yes, this would be such a game changer for the research world. If you can do this for journal papers, i.e.

1. search paper title/abstract/content

2. find relevant papers

3. feed relevant papers' content into GPT-4

4. let GPT-4 answer the original questioon

it would help researchers a lot. Would likely not be feasible due to copyright bullshit though, since most journals are paywalled.
I only skimmed it too, but it seemed to only concentrate on Cape Town, South Africa, and as such didn't seem to be relevant to other places at all: the problems they described seemed to be local in nature only.

As you and the other responder note, the water problems in the western US states are entirely different, and largely because of agriculture. However, even if you just focus on swimming pools and green lawns in the desert, in western US states like AZ and NV, those aren't the "elites"; it's the middle-class people wasting water on that stuff.
That is not true. The original Satoshi paper has a whole section about it. So the intention of privacy was - at least in theory - there from the beginning.
I think the author's experience is more true in smaller companies or startups. In the big tech companies especially, high-band senior or principal engineers are expected to lead through influence (without being anyone's boss) and have to make these exact same tradeoffs effectively to succeed. You can coast as a senior in many places if you want to just deliver by yourself, but you won't get further.

Also note that the author points out that he chose to make many of these tradeoffs not from being a manager, but when he got older and chose to refocus on his family. This is a tradeoff many people have to make whether they are a people manager or not.
I'm split. To me, writing code is the easiest part of the job. Modeling data structures, architecting, thinking big picture about business needs now and in the future, etc are the bread and butter. ChatGPT can write code fine. And probably even model small things fine. But it's blind to 'the bigger picture', and will be until it's less constrained.

I don't know yet what that looks like. From my interactions with ChatGPT, it's very good at recalling, but not so good at thinking, if that makes sense.

So yeah, if your job mostly consists of what can be copy and pasted off of stack overflow, I'd start to sweat a bit.
use of words like 'figure' and 'know' are not applicable.

GPT exposes the statistically most likely outcome, from a model. the model doesn't know either: the training is people, who weight the model and tune the heuristics to satisfy goals THEY impute.

If you train GPT to 'believe' there are 380 degrees in a circle, thats what it 'figures' out from.

There is no believe no figure and no know here.
My dad bought this $200 computer for me and I tried to host a web based game I wrote on it! Ultimately I had to install Fedora Core 2 instead because I couldn’t get the lamp stack working. I remember wondering why Lindows didn’t have problems with graphics / drivers when FC did (what torturous debugging). Thanks for your work!
Grads have written software.

If a grad has written no software, or has no capacity to talk software development with you, then the interview is over.
That's a great suggestion. It is hard to read these LLM text boxes when they constantly update and scroll. You can't even select the text to run TTS.

Alt right is a progranda term by neo nazis for neo nazis, so they don't sound like actual neo nazis.

Stop using the term alt right. Alt right means neo nazi. Nothing else.
Certainly it is normal & healthy to communicate what you're looking for in a relationship upfront, and to respond to that blamelessly as you suggest. I'm not convinced in the utility of using statistics to derive dating advice, I think by and large there's a huge diversity in what people are looking for and the best advice is to work on being a healthy and realized person and being patient with finding a partner, but I wouldn't suggest it simply shouldn't be discussed.

I don't understand how you can read the comment as being purely descriptive, when it makes categorical statements about people's "value" with a postscript about how these "truths" are too hot to handle. If it were simply about following the facts wherever they lead, surely there wouldn't be a need to preemptively declare that anyone who disagreed did so irrationally, and surely it wouldn't have been categorical without making room for nuance or disagreement.

In my mind, if you feel moved to discredit anyone who might disagree with you before they've had a chance to join the discussion, you're probably not neutrally sharing a simple factual observation. That's a strong indication that you're making a statement about how you think things should be, not how they are objectively. It doesn't matter so much when people disagree with you about something objective, they're simply wrong and the truth will win out. It's when you want them to behave in a certain way that disagreement is difficult to tolerate.
Lack of safety culture is almost like a a hack for the mind. It exploits a vulnerable API probably from evolution, called "I am strong and capable and I don't need 58 review processes".

It's not perpetated specifically to sabotage anything, but it is promoted by people who would kinda like it if our infrastructure crumbled so we could "Stop being dependent on tech and the government" and "Natural selection could do a good cleanup".

Maybe we could look at user error as "Darwin hacking the system" either because the system wasn't designed to match average human skill level, or because evolution told someone "Stop being a paranoid stick in the mud slowing everyone down with triple checks and trying to replace perfectly good old stuff to make it safe for idiots".
Ok, the shell scripting DSL has got me interested.

Being a woman means being a female.
n is the number of characters in the string in this case. If you had a function that could turn a string into a hash key in O(1) then you could look that key up in a hash in O(1). However, you need to go through the string one character at a time[1] so you can’t. This is exactly why tries/prefix trees exist (although they aren’t only relevant for strings).

[1] This seems to me to be a practical limitation rather than theoretical given strings and numbers are really equivalent - it’s just that the space is mindbogglingly huge so if you wanted to do a general purpose O(1) string to number conversion it would require uncountably infinite space.
Probably not. I believe exchanges are meant to block transactions of tainted coins. And using a mixer immediately marks the coins as tainted.
Then they should post about what they see then instead of foisting an unsubstantiated headline with non-evidence. Ridiculous to defend this rubbish.

No orchestration is necessary. If Gavin somehow gets the Democratic nomination for president, the GOP will plaster TV with ads saying he was the mayor of the most liberal big city in the country, show videos of the TL, and quote crime stats.
Introversion has drastically different effects for men and women in the dating market. An introverted woman will still get approached by men, so even if she intentionally opts out of dating, she can always opt back in pretty much on the fly if a guy she likes approaches her. So she will still get relationships, if she wants them.

Introverted men, on the other hand, often just don't pursue women, especially if they have low testosterone (or sex drive) as the OP probably does. Since in most cultures men are expected to do the initial approach, this can translate into very long spells (decades or more) of singleness for them. Even worse, introverted men are often very bad at reading women's signals. Those are often quite subtle, because for extroverted men interested in dating (the majority), women just don't need to signal that much to get results.
> Yes, that's the position of the Hanafi and Maliki schools. The Shafi'is, Hanbalis and Zahiris however opt for extermination.

So basically you are saying you want everyone to commit genocide against Hindus and Buddhists, because a minority of Sunni ulama believe such a genocide to be obligatory (at least in theory)? Sources disagree on whether Malikis or Shafi'is are larger in number; if you accept the larger estimates for the number of Malikis, the Hanafis and Malikis together would be the numerical majority of contemporary Sunni Islam, which means the majority of Sunni Islam rejects your pro-genocide position.

I don't think you are going to convince many people to accept your pro-genocide viewpoint – which is a very very good thing. In fact, while unlike you I'm no great fan of making beliefs illegal, if we are going to do it, I think your own pro-genocide beliefs should be near the top of the list
Sounds like a great idea. But I have couple of things to add looking from business prospective:
1. Is most of the coding done and feature is available? Do you have a product demo piece or some Proof of concept(POC)?
2. Can this idea be stolen? Is it easy to replicate? how can you make your product unique(first in market, popular in college etc)

My final thought to it is that, rn AI is a popular field and lots of engineers(some laid off from MAANG) are jumping the wagon with ChatGPT.So, I would recommend get started and working. Atleast create a POC and then you can go ahead and "think about creating this learning tool"
It is great. I remember the microsoft that told developers at talks not to use Google search because it is not M$

>If you place 1 BTC short with LedgerX

LedgerX doesn’t support short-selling or margin trading. If you buy a put (the suggestion I made in my original comment), the counterparty sets aside the cash to honor it.

(I think you’re confusing short-selling with a short position, but that doesn’t sound like mistake someone with your bio would make.)

Are you done being confidently incorrect, or can I expect you to pollute more discussions with baseless claims you know nothing about?

Yes, let's be honest. More people have died from drug overdoses during the pandemic than COVID. There are more people dying from overdoses because of this disgusting policy than are being helped. It's a complete failure, and it's because of people that don't actually care about helping the addicts but keeping them in a perpetual state of addiction.

The woman who gave birth to her baby is a crack addict, that has delivered a baby that has no chance. The chemical damage done to this baby is on the order of killing her. And people just throw their hands up in the air saying "there's nothing we can do, but let's supply them all with an open drug market so that people can buy drugs freely." It's disgusting, SF is suffering, the addicts are suffering and who is profiting? The "advocates". The director of a homeless center makes $250,000/yr and meanwhile babies are born on the street. Explain to me how they aren't lining their own pockets?

The ONLY way to can explain $600 million per year being spent, and SF being in its current state, is through corruption and fraud.
I used to use KDE2 back then, I loved that you could set different Windows decorations for each Window (or is my memory tricking me?) and have a global menu bar optionally.

I did not like KDE3 as much bc they removed these features and ended up with GNOME2, and eventually MATE.

Have you used GPT-4? It's about 30 IQ points smarter than GPT-3.5. And are you considering GPT-5/6 and what those capabilities might be?
That wasn't the only poor decision-making they were doing while Craig Barrett was CEO at that time. They also doubled down on the Itanic processor, refused to make a 64-bit x86 CPU until AMD forced them to, and were pushing mega-expensive RAMBUS memory with their power-guzzling P4 processor. Nearly everything they were doing was a bad decision. If anything, it's a case study in why engineers should not be CEOs. (Barrett was an engineer; he was replaced by Otellini who was not, and who turned things around for Intel.)
no

I readily admit, though, that not all software development needs to be flexible and big-application focused. To that end there are many things Common Lisp is not so good at. Common Lisp is not good at being pretty out-of-the-box, it's not good at minimalism, and it's not good at prescriptive or dogmatic programming styles. I've personally not been convinced of the various approaches to using Common Lisp as a scripting language (especially because of standard multi-stage execution). Common Lisp also has an unusual learning curve: there's an initial hump of learning Lisp's oddities (DEFVAR/DEFPARAMETER, CAR/FIRST, no hash table syntax, lots of EQ[UA]L-ity functions, systems vs packages, LOOP/DO/DOTIMES/DOLIST, "Neo, there are no lists in Lisp", ...), followed by a longer path of soaking in the extensive facilities offered by the language. There's just... a lot of content. And in part because of its idiosyncratic nature, no singular approach to learning it works for everyone.

Common Lisp is pretty anemic when it comes to extreme use of functional programming. It's wholly capable and serviceable, but most library writers don't go whole-hog with FP, and Common Lisp by default makes FP a little stuffy (it requires functions bound to variables to be called with FUNCALL, and it requires defined functions to be referenced with #' syntax). There is very little support for functional data structures; the FSET library seems to be what most people suggest.

I can resonate with this a lot as I am a newly minted Staff Engineer.

You really need to block the times to focus, so you hopefully still get to solve some interesting things.

Most of my time is spent on setting the direction, cross team collaboration, managing different stakeholders in the higher, backlog refinements and pre-refinements. I tend to pick up small 1 point story tickets which are not on the critical path to stay in touch with ground reality.

You also have to be an adult in the room, even though you are not wrt age. Got to deal with kindness and patience.
As I’ve heard we will probably overestimate what will happen in the next five years and underestimate what will happen in the next 10.

How much did the internet itself change coding, not a lot, then a whole bunch.

I think since the industrial revolution the most valuable jobs are those that require the most distinctly human traits. With AI doing things we typically only thought humans could do, that will shift.

Soon we will have interviews where you are expected to use chat GPT to solve the interview question.
Well, In my opinion this is exactly how Open Source is suppose to work - you get benefit of collaboration on writing the code and promoting your software by broad community, you give more value to your customers because they have a choice of vendors rather than single vendor lockin but also as you give up on having monopoly it is well possible someone else will be making more money than you on your product.

You mention Elastic - do not forget it was built on top of Lucene, capturing most of the value in that project.

It DOES very much impact users because users increasingly want DBaaS experience and if the only one you can get is through MongoDB or MongoDB authorized partnershp it is really no different than proprietary software.

In any case I agree for certain users SSPL is just a good as Open Source, same however can be said about Proprietary Software - some who just "buy subscription" do not care.
Thanks appreciate the reply!

It comes with its own set of challenges. In the integration I've seen, it basically meant that all the latency in the system went into io_uring_enter() call which blocked then for far longer than any individual than any other IO operation we've ever seen. Your application might prefer if it pauses 50 times for 20us (+ syscall overhead) in an eventloop iteration instead of a single time for 1ms (+ less syscall overhead), because that means some IO will just sit around for 1ms and will be totally unhandled.

The only way to avoid big latencies on uring_enter is to use the submission queue polling mechanism using a background kernel thread, which also has its own set ofs pro's and con's.
