So, no. The answer is no.

There is no way for you to, with the certainty you did, say what you said. You have absolutely no way of actually knowing what people use emulators for, and you're just pulling it out of your ass and pretending it's the absolute truth.

If you're responsible for thousands of employees, your performance report should be (with very limited sensitive redactions) open source. You're getting paid millions and everyone deserves to know what "full responsibility" means. This isn't "acting like schoolchildren", it's part of getting people to buy into the system.

I don't buy into your hero worship. Sundar took a crazily profitable company with tens of billions in raw cash and did a messy disorganized layoff where, unlike Alphabet's biggest competitors such as MS, Meta, and even freaking Amazon, Googlers woke up to no access, no chance to transition or hand off, and no chance to say goodbye. It was a disgrace and not something worthy of praise or pay increase.
> Mojo has a ton of core compiler improvements as well addressing the "LLVM is slow" sorts of issues that "zero abstraction" languages have when expecting LLVM to do all the work for them.

This sounds super interesting. Is there a good write up about this, or about the specifics of what specific type system features tend to make languages like Rust/Swift slow? Is it constraint-solving stuff? Exhaustive pattern matching?

99% of what I buy my kids based on their requests is not from ads. It’s stuff like they see an ice cream shop or whatever. (I guess you could consider that a form of ad)

I think they are exposed to far less ads than I was actually because TV ads are mostly gone. I never hear them asking for some random toy like the kind I remember from my youth.

We need to hold their feet to the fire and actively push people away from using passkeys until this problem is solved.

You're not taking into account that "deliver more" isn't an infinite type of thing that can happen. There is a threshold with market/product fit where "more" doesn't mean more revenue and benefit to shareholders.

I think this is something all companies struggle with: at some point you may achieve product/market maturity but the people that could determine this are fundamentally in conflict with ever communicating this because they or their peers would be out of work at that employer. In my opinion, this is when internal politics start to become more prevalent because its human nature to protect your well being/source of money.
It's actually a little more complex than that. Many people go through computers several times between moving to each new social network. You have to also A) print and store the key (yikes), B) make sure you move the file to the new computer (easy now with migration assistance) or C) make sure you are backing up your computer (a lot less people use backups than should).

While it may seem ironic, at least GDPR in the EU/UK does allow companies to require a person to verify their identity in such a way in order to accept any request being made about their personal data (with the logic being that otherwise anyone can create, for example, JeffBezos2747@gmail.com and send fake GDPR requests for his personal data).

> Yet by 1797, US founding father Thomas Paine was arguing that “the earth, in its natural uncultivated state” would always be “the common property of the human race," and so landowners owed non-landowners compensation “for the loss of his or her natural inheritance.”

Paine also wrote a pamphlet about how the U.S. government actually owned all the territorial land the British thought they still owned after the revolutionary war. So, he did believe in owning property as it turns out.

And do we really want to adjudicate this issue by tallying the number of U.S. founding fathers who believed in property rights? It's a meaningless metric, and I don't think the results would fall in the author's favor anyway.

Also, owning land is not a modern concept. Stone age humans fought over territory: night raids, throat slashing. It's a human constant. The modern idea of property ownership is a less violent method of staking a claim, backed by the threat of force by the government. Generally an improvement.

I think this article is making a bad suggestion in a dumb way.
Well, to properly erase (multiple overwrites and erase) I suppose IT would need to get the computer back for a while so it can fully complete without the employee removing the IT tool which can handle this removal.

Secondly, would you want to have a computer which your previous employer can wipe your disk at any time?

So all in all probably a good thing for both parties.
Somewhat related, I previously completed the form found in the help section titled "How your data is used to improve model performance" to opt out of providing training data to OpenAI: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...

I received a confirmation in February that my data had been excluded from model training. However, recently, after the addition of the new Data Controls feature, I noticed that I was suddenly opted in again in the settings. I've tried contacting them about it via Discord and e-mail so that they can clarify whether the exclusion is still valid, but it seems like I'm getting ignored.
You're correct -- Just 11.3. I've only ever used Solaris on SPARC hardware, so that colors my view.
You'll get more out of the article if you read it as more of a philosophical exploration than a literal policy proposal. You can share similar values without reaching the same conclusion.
Nope, goes back way farther than that. Return of the Jedi is another movie that never made a profit supposedly, despite ~$400M on a $32M budget. David Prowse, the guy who played Darth Vader in the suit, apparently pretty much never got paid for Return of the Jedi because of that.
Christianity is the majority religion, in the US (63%) and world (31%).

Doesn't take complex AI to benefit new workers (or even middle experience ones). A company I talked to did some simple sentiment analysis on emails, and reduced the closing time for a real estate office by 40%. Which means they can do that many more deals per month etc.

Maybe the real change here, is people are beginning to consider using computer aids to do their job. Instead of insisting their experience is all that matters.

This is a design flaw and sort of what I mean. I’m supposed to believe they have this synthetic organism so precise they can program lifespans and implant memories and don’t have a better way to debug it? Of course anything is possible as it’s fiction, but this is part of my belief is that they thought of something that looked cool and backed into the reasoning (ie, this Shakespeare memorization technique looks cool so they wrote this movie rationale of how this was precise and scientific [or at least the in movie characters think it is]).

Late Application Review
Hey folks, we are about to apply (as a late application) and I was wondering if anyone knows of any alums who would be willing to review our application, or if there are any alums who would be happy to do so?
In the broad context of history, I acknowledge that land ownership is kind of a myth. I kind of think of the little bit of land that I own as almost sort of a "lease" from the government. I really only get to "own" it so long as we have a functional government and market.

While I broadly agree with the ideas of Georgism as well as LVT, I hate the framing of this article. It largely devolves into false moralisms and crazy talk.

Land ownership still makes sense! The goal of private land ownership, especially in America, was to broadly distribute the stakeholders of political power. And in a way it's kind of what makes our society stable.

Even Henry George was against collectivisation! If anything, his whole body of work was "since we still need private people to own land, here's how better adapt a policy perspective".

I once thought 2023 was Peak California. I've since been convinced that California hasn't even _begun_ to California; every policy and every ideological molehill that California's been built upon will continue to compound as those who feel otherwise leave the state. From my understanding, California leadership at all levels of government has had only one lever the past couple decades, and that lever can only be pushed one direction.

It's going to get a lot more California before it gets more normal, buckle up :)
They basically underestimated the cost of moving millions of small files to and from S3; it kinda makes sense if they want to save those images for a long time, but in this case it was for semi-real-time error detection, which is much faster to do in-memory.

Surely one can at least argue that it matters if people are voting with their feet? But on the other hand, it's not like the state is being brought to its knees. This decline of 138k people is minuscule, roughly a third of a percent. Should the trend continue, California will still, with 25 million people, be elbows deep in residents a hundred years from now.
Humans are also a collective of cells organized in a way. Do you think that the hands necessarily always agree with what the mouth says?

Treat Corporate as the brain, the PR department as the voice, and that's "what the corporation thinks"

The rest of the collective doesn't matter basically at all for this.
Not my first on site either, but normally I'd just need to go through a phone screen and a tech test to secure an onsite, not many hours of interviewing. Plus, I just listened to what the recruiter told me through the phone and confirmed through the email.

Why would I think I'd need to go over another round of interviews after spending over 4 hours interviewing remotely, plus interviewing with engineers, to do it all over again?

Where do I say newspapers have ever been good, or that historians do in fact study dry facts?

I'm saying newspapers are fundamentally incapable of giving unbiased and useful data that broader society can rely on. If you want a daily dose of outrage, perfect. If you want actionable information, look elsewhere.

The overall tax burden in California ranks 12th among the states, between Iowa and Nebraska. It is not a particularly high-tax state. The cost-of-living issues arise from the lack of housing. It is still a regulatory burden—the lack of housing is caused by bad local government—but it is not a tax as such.
I'm not sure how keeping your cash under the mattress and paying for groceries with it is an improvement.

That said, there's a pretty clear bifurcation between a lot of retail banks that are happy to make money off all the small accounts and lazy money in checking accounts and the brokerage money market and other accounts paying around 4% or so these days which are actively pursuing deposits.
"Aw geez, but it's hard!" is not a good excuse as to why you can't stop when you're doing something wrong. If it's so difficult to delete someone's personal data, maybe don't collect it in the first place. Seems reasonable enough.
These philosophical explorations have a really nasty pattern of being picked up as the policy platform of political strongmen riding a wave of discontentment to power. Then the philosophical exploration becomes poorly-implemented policy.

Logical Reversibility of Computation and Its Energy Implications [pdf]
I recently ran into this seminal 1973 paper again after more than a decade from the first time I had read it, and think it is a very interesting read for people interested in historical CS reading. This is research conducted at IBM in 70s on low-energy computing and shows that in principle it is possible to design computers that perform useful computation, spend some energy doing the computation, compute and output, and then gain back some of the energy with a reverse chemical process. I would doubt it will be relevant for practice for the foreseeable future but it is a great read for fundamental research.

The Wikipedia article explains the core ideas more simply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_computing. This part discusses the implication: "...there is at present no fundamental reason to think that this goal cannot eventually be accomplished, allowing us to someday build computers that generate much less than 1 bit's worth of physical entropy (and dissipate much less than kT ln 2 energy to heat) for each useful logical operation that they carry out internally"
If you do something illegal you don't get to justify it by saying the alternative is infeasible. You either figure out a way, or stop doing the thing altogether.
Haven't they already? Land ownership makes sense to beasts and man. Someone is going to take advantage of a plot of land and historically use it to reproduce or otherwise propagate their living will. Even electrons can't occupy the same space at the same time.
Maybe you don't live in that world, but I sure do. Only few people actually care enough to show up for any decision, and they can usually come to agreement fairly quickly.

The only times I have experienced trouble has been when people have had the prejudice that "democracy obviously doesn't work" so they make a big stink about not getting their way (how ironic!) instead of focusing on the decision at hand. Those people can usually be trained out of that mindset with a little skilled facilitation. Those that cannot are free to move somewhere where a third party owns the land they're on.
It seems like much of this comes from the shift to remote work. Many Californians didn't really want to be here but moved in order to be part of the biggest commercial developments of the day. Now a California location is no longer necessarily forced on people. This could be good for everyone.
Shorter makes it harder to stuff it full of pork.
> Virtualization, IaC, analyzing performance, right architecture etc is all for later, when you've grown enough to need that.

Yeah, I think it might be a different perspective about when that all should be done.

I tend to do that right from the beginning because I often see it snowball later on and nobody ever fixes it or does it "properly" (in my opinion, possibly not the right one).

But that's a good point, no doubt.

Except Python doesn't use C++ at all -- using C++ from Python is not very easy. The reason is that Python's native FFI interface is in C, because the interpreter is written in C. The reason Jython, PyPy, IronPython, etc. never got traction is because of all the Python core libraries written in C.

From a Python implementor standpoint, you have to implement Python's interpreter in the language you want to do the tight loops in. So for example, Jython was a reimplementation of Python on the JVM to make it possible to easily use Java for the tight loops. IronPython was the same, but for .NET.

You say it's cultural, but it's all about ergonomics and backwards compatibility. Making it easy to write tight loops in Fortran means changing the FFI API to be fortran friendly, which it is not.

Just try writing your MPI code with a combination of Fortran and Python. I did it circa 2005 and it was a technical nightmare.
Robots don’t have to be made of metal. I’m using the term in that they are artificial humanoids that are created and programmed.

I think these are distinct from some purely biological humanoid that is the result of genetic engineering where it was evolved and gene hacked toward some purpose.

I am calling replicants robots in that they are manufactured out of their goopsacks or whatever and the designers have a lot of precise leeway over what and how they design them vs what biology forces them to do. They are etching codes on their eyeballs so I figured they could have some memory audit function and a way to extract that memory and thus a way to analyze a segment of time for aberration.

Sure and state-of-the-art cars will hit the brake before running into another car.

Doesn't mean the car behind you at the red light will brake. Just like the fact that a model can tell twins apart doesn't mean the model the cops used can tell you apart from the actual criminal. Or that a Landlord will have tested the model at all or required it to meet some standard of twin detection.
