And what's the frequency that doesn't imply "a racist agenda"? I went on skimmed all the OPs and found a few threads about intelligence/IQ, but couldn't find one with a racist bent.
Or perhaps things have changed in the approximately 40 years since your experience.
> not everyone can manufacture. You'd have too many goods!

This is not a factor; even when there isn't any demand for more manufactured goods in an absolute sense, there's plenty of demand for increased product variety and differentiation, which requires extra labor and capital to supply.
You didn't say it outright. But your words definitely contained a strong degree of innuendo that two groups were, in terms of potential for being intrinsically repulsive to others -- basically equivalent.

Even though it became Lindpire, the spiritual successor to lightweight and windows like was LXDE and Lubuntu.

It was Slackware that pioneered the loadlin boot loader installed on a dos partition that I think li does/linspire picked-up. This was all gradually killed off by ntfs and windows 2k

It was a magical time for Linux with konqueror as a viable desktop browser and galeon as the best browser available until IBM started sponsoring the project to make it like epiphany. Eventually konqueror was absorbed into WebKit for safari, proprietary flash made browsing on Linux unnecessary difficult (gnash came later), and Microsoft lawsuits were customary towards all friendly UX not on a Mac.
My mid-mark would be where someone could write the code for the brute-force answer for both parts but couldn't get the memoize / dynamic-programming solution. That would be where I'd say "I'm not sure, look at other interviews". Otherwise I'll make a hire / no-hire recommendation.
At the point he's heisted several billion dollars of bitcoin (or anything really), I think it's a bit late to be worrying about that.
I really think this nails it.

My completely unscientific experience (n=1) of having a major mental health breakthrough and “becoming” and extrovert after years testing as an introvert tells me a few things.

1. For a variety of reasons, some people have extreme difficulty making mutually supportive connections and/or have no service familial attachments

2. There are compensating structures in the form of small safe groups that are lower risk or share a common yet outsider connection (obscure music, complex systems, historical or obsolete collections etc…) that lend themselves to a different “pace.”

3. In some cases, a combination of factors, mental health issues, lifestyle and life issues etc… mask a self love that can represent as something shameful in being expressive and thus after perceived or real rejection or failure many people just give up trying to put the effort in and become comfortable in that lifestyle.

That’s in the best case however, and assumes you can find an affinity group. Unfortunately it’s getting harder to get people together cause everyone’s just trying to survive they don’t feel like they have time to spend building community.
While the interviewer is definitely to blame for not preparing, it is not _that_ bad of an answer for an informal debate. If I claimed that many tweets contained the letter e, and my opponent asked me to give them an example, just one example. I wouldn't be able to, off the top of my head. That is because I don't know any tweets off the top of my head. In the video's case I would expect the interviewer to pull out his phone and browse Twitter for a few seconds to find an offending tweet. Of course if he fails to find one after a few seconds, that will make him look worse than he already did.
"Truth is that women don't generally do a lots of activities."

I'd strongly disagree with this. They seem to be organising and doing things constantly, in my experience (married 40s male).

The comment you're replying to is trying to say that a house, just by existing, solves the shelter problem. Having a functioning car means you can just get in it and go somewhere. But just having electricity in and of itself does not solve any problem; you have to use it power something else (lights, TV, toaster), which is the thing that solves the problem, not the electricity.
When people increase their font size/zoom they generally don't want that - what you're describing is the default zoom on phones, etc which is different from increasing the page text size, and you'll note is typically about increasing undersized ui components rather than simply reading text.

When people are in a browser and expanding the content they want the content reflowed - having to scroll to read the width of a line is super obnoxious, and makes reading text much harder. This is made even more frustrating when you recall that a lot of time the reason for zooming is to make things easier to read.

There are very few times where the correct response to "increase the zoom" is simply an affine transform of the rendered content, from both a usability standpoint or from user intent.
> The people that aren't seeing a compelling use case simply aren't looking.

By all means, go do your startup, all the power to you.

But I personally fail to see it creating enough value for people to even bother use the AI, even if it's free and any problem could be ignored.

I can imagine people adopting it if it comes embedded on whatever software they already use. But that doesn't "completely change everything" or any of the other things people are repeating.

And yeah, I can't imagine it quickly improving so that happens either. I am personally bracing for a new AI winter, and believe that word is going to become more toxic than it has ever been.
If you're going to be wrong at least don't be snarky.

We will have no choice.

Cities need to become denser to accommodate the growing population and reduce footprint. Efficient public transportation (trams/subway) are no longer regulatory or financially feasible enough to build (how is the second avenue line in Manhattan going?). Robotaxis and ad-hoc buses are a potential solution.

Autonomous cars are a localized regulation, so can be adopted gradually. The cities that will innovate will reap the benefits and those that will still dedicate their human resources to driving will lag.

I started picking up CouchDB and PouchDB and the DX is fantastic. Always wondered why there’s never been any hype or more examples around this stack?
It does, but the article actually doesn't define n and it's confusing.

In the common case, where s is short and the dictionary is big, the size of the dictionary probably matters most to the running time. s is likely a cache line and a handful of instructions to compare — whereas the dictionary probably doesn't fit in L1 or L2, maybe not L3. Obsessing about algorithmic analysis based on the string size instead of the size of the dictionary gives good signal for whether the candidate is a pedant, and poor signal about engineering.
These puppeteer, playwright wrappers make bots so easy. And you can distribute so easy too. Back in my day (IE6) it wasn't quite so simple. Trying to make your site undcrape-able while still readable is (still) impossible.
Right. However, please don't forget that there are very often inherit limitations regarding scaling or availability and also that many fully fledged message queues come with a lot of perks like access management and administration / debugging tooling and interfaces.

I'm not saying that libraries like pg-boss and co. cannot sometimes replace a full queue implementation. But the tradeoffs need to be clear.

Competition implies some sort of zero sum game which has nothing to do with it. Tesla's factories are all running full throttle and they're building more.

The market as whole is getting larger. Not only is that great, but it's also exactly Tesla's mission statement - Accelerating the World's Transition to Sustainable Energy.

Tesla is helping the competition even more by starting to open up their reliable charger network.
always weird to read someones made up opinion of an online space. the documentary about pepe was the same
If Tesla's goal was to sacrifice itself to bring EVs to the masses, sure. Tesla's models aimed at the masses (3, Y, X) are inferior to their competitors' equivalents in every aspect but one (access to Tesla's charging network), as far as I can tell. That isn't a good position to be in, market wise.

Charging network is also a big reason why people buy Teslas. According to Marques Brownlee, the third party chargers fail around half the time and it's a ridiculously bad number.

If they make the charging network robust and equally reliable as Teslas supercharger, it'll be game on.
Great to hear. Scikit-learn also typically uses joblib for model persistence: https://scikit-learn.org/0.18/modules/model_persistence.html

Joblib is also used internally for models to be run in parallel, e.g. https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/1834cd6b76...

(End users typically just pass n_jobs as a non-zero/one value to use it).
To play devil's advocate here, do you really think the actual problems with VR have anything to do with "spending time in a made-up universe"? In the future, why couldn't we have VR that didn't require you to wear a headset, that felt, smelt, looked and tasted just like the physical universe in every way? Would it really matter that the VR universe is "made-up"? Sure, that technology is far-off, but isn't it "just" a technology problem?

That’s a disingenuous argument enabling somebody with a massive ego problem.

1) most people here, I believe, don’t have a problem testing a developer’s code writing acumen.

2) People weigh something. Bricks weigh something. It’s the same exercise. The analogy in software would be the difference between asking someone to write _an_ function that can do x vs write _the_ function your company uses to do x.

3) the lions share of counterarguments here propose using real world exercises vs toy problems

>Yes. The far right is specifically being exempted from certain rules, while other rules are exempted.

which specific rules are you talking about, aside from racism? Or is your claim simply that rules against racism isn't being enforced and therefore that constitutes "but enforces them against other groups"? Note that the latter is slightly different than the former. The former simply implies a rule that is written but not enforced, but the latter implies that certain rules (eg. "be polite") are being selectively used against a particular group (eg. impolite far-right posters are not punished, but impolite far-left posters are punished).
A twist on the old “what happens when you type google.com into your address bar and press enter” question.

It is indeed a fun question!

I'm more concerned about the noise all the AI generated content will create online. We've already seen clickbait articles become the norm in the past decade or so. But now, we're just going to see AI created text , images and even video vying for our attention.

Translation: "We want to make damn sure that the public will need to pay dearly to access ML models generated from the text they wrote and shared on the internet, taken and used without compensation. To that end, we'll continue to spread unsubstantiated hysteria about 'safety' to insure that we're the exclusive or near exclusive providers of state of the art LLM technology."

How fast will the position reverse after more people fall for their safety hysteria, decide they prefer alternatives to 'death with dignity' (https://archive.is/eqZx2), and begin systematically assassinating their employees? Or are windfall profits regulatory lockins worth the cost? Will we next see OpenAI executives endorsing the MIRI cult position that it would be acceptable to deploy nuclear weapons against cities engaging in unsanctioned LLM training?
There are pretty heavy countervailing forces in favor of standardized salary bands for everyone. Employees compare notes; it can be demoralizing to hear that the company thinks your teammate is worth 20% more than you, and it instantly leads to politicking as everybody else asks for raises. While in the eyes of the business owner there may be clearly some employees that generate more value than others, good luck convincing all the employees that some of their teammates' work is more valuable.

This tendency is more pronounced in bigger companies (where performance is more illegible), but the problem with small companies is that there are wide variations in their profitability and hence their ability to offer high salaries (and this is usually less than what big companies offer, hence their ability to get big). Job-switching here is the economy doing its job and funneling resources to the activities that generate the most consumer value.
Uninteresting, but irrellevant, because what does that have to do with copyrighting a trademark?
Whats old becomes new again. I worked on some Windows drivers that batched calls into the kernel because of the overhead "back in the day". At the time, we were re-working the drivers to not doing batching anymore because the overhead of syscalls had dropped (as part of a larger clean up of our driver design, not a reason in of itself).
Anti-semitism also isn't inherently right wing. That doesn't mean the social phenomenon currently driving anti-semitism isn't right wing.

The 4chan moderators are rarely enforcing the rules against racism, like anti-semitism, on the extreme boards, and sometimes they don't enforce those rules on non-extreme boards too. The anti-semitism on the extreme boards is rampant. It's pretty clear that the far-right is the current social phenomenon that is driving modern racism and anti-semitism, at least in the West.
I want to go back to a point you said on your first post on this topic (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35517864):

> As a consequence, social policy resembles the cycles and epicycles of Ptolemy's cosmology. Namely, all manner of social, economic and historical outcomes which are explained parsimoniously by understanding IQ as heritable are instead attributed to a Rube-Goldberg machine of racism, class warfare and the like.

Now I find it interesting you would say this while also believing that “High SES correlates with IQ” and “You're just measuring the same thing, going round and round in circles.”

Now a sibling post goes into why IQ and SES aren’t the same thing, but suppose for the sake of argument that it is. SES is pretty much just a function of wealth, it can be measured by things like your family income, education and occupation, all pretty straight forward. You don’t need constructs such as intelligence, g-factors, you don’t need to do factor analysis to find correlations within massive tests etc. You just take the income, education, and occupation, and you have your SES.

Now, if I were to look for epicycles within a model which predicts “success”, IQ would be a prime candidate here. Nothing predicts you income as well as your parent’s income, the same applies to education and occupation. So if these are the things you’d define as “success”. Or as you put it:

> If jumping on chairs were what advanced modernity, we would test for that instead. And, that too would "work" because it would surely be a marker for people who were likely to be successful in life.

Now ponder this for a moment. What if instead of creating a construct called intelligence and using that as the predictor for this “success” as you call it, instead we allow society to be unequal. That we grant different people different access to things like good jobs, healthcare and education. Now if said society would enforce this limited access by using something we can actually and objectively know runs in families, say money, fame, and valuable assets, that those that have less of these things get less access to the tings which grants you “success”. Wouldn’t we have a pretty good model to predict “success”.

Now leaving aside this thought experiment (and snark on my part) IQ seems like a giant epicycle of you theory of success. Instead of forming our social policies around intelligence, wouldn’t it be better to form them around something we know is a prime cause of hindrance, inequality.

Now you know my political stance here, so I’m not afraid to say: Solidarity among the working class! Eating the rich! Those are the real solutions. Not being gaslit by the wealthy elite that we are stupider then they.
Not to be semantic, but you meant that this is his answer as to what the cause is? Or that’s his recommendation? I don’t really follow his stuff much but I’m guessing the first.

Btw, I have to be skeptical of the thesis here. Certainly the tech world is not full of “overregulation”. And I think it’s quite a stretch to say “cultural fear and pessimism of science bringing doom” given the broad glowing admiration of whatever the industry hype flavor of the month is. Not to mention the cult-like levels of belief and worship among the singularity peeps et al. While back down here on earth, many of us are scratching our heads about what we can possibly do in the face of climate change, a polarizing and surveillance enabled internet, millions of lines of technical debt that have little chance of keeping a persistent cyber threat at bay, and various other second order networks effects that we never seem to foresee in our first order money opportunities. Heck, I’ll throw in one more that certainly has been a cultural trope for a while but prob isn’t given enough airtime these days. If you take the recent advancements in drones (swarms especially), autonomous vehicles, near realtime satellite imagery and internet communications… and link that up with a current global geopolitical trendline that’s clearly not looking overly rosy… you’re racing directly at the Skynet-ish scenario cliche of autonomous machines that kill. I don’t think that swarms of cheap drones will allow us to keep the man-in-the-loop control given a global race to the bottom. And I say these things as an MBA and former army officer who would prob have laughed at these claims even 10 years ago.

Heck, I’ll go ad hominem here. Given that I have libertarian leanings myself, Thiel does seem to come across as someone who has made his money
in an industry gone south, but now simply doesn’t want to pay his taxes.

Apologies… that escalated kinda quickly. I actually started this diatribe intending to ask for clarification. And perhaps you were merely stating Thiel’s thesis and my ire is completely unjustified.

But apparently these days I have little patience for the weak sauce party lines that have been parroted for decades.

> They didn’t say screen real estate doesn’t matter at all, only that the specific space under discussion isn’t a concern to them

"More space matters, but not if it's 100px at the top of the screen"

If you are a believer that additional screen space provides some marginal value, as the majority of people do, then you cannot at all argue that there's nothing lost by losing screen space. If you believe that you only need 15" and anything beyond that does not provide additional marginal value, then you can be logically consistent with these two statements.

If you don't see the logical inconsistency, I can't help you, sorry.

A lot of Tesla fans have been saying how the incumbents are unable to compete with Tesla in the EV segment, and with all driving going electric this would mean very high Tesla market shares in the future car market. 10 years ago this was the case indeed, Tesla was way ahead. But the issue was that these people haven't updated their views to today, and still keep repeating that belief. Now, incumbents have brought out very strong car models onto the market, at really competitive conditions. The future is electric, yes, but not with high enough market shares for Tesla to to justify its share price (which in fact is so high, even if Tesla had 100% market share, it would still be unjustified but that's another thing). The patent opening also happened 10 years ago.
Before I got my first and only COVID vaccine two years ago I'd had vertigo on and off here and there over the years. 15 minutes after the shot, after not experiencing vertigo for a year, I was pulled over on the side of the road, and have been suffering ever since. The same thing happened to a relative. I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all and think overall the vaccine was probably positive, but we aren't getting close to the full story on side effects.
