> Alternatively, you can design a custom scheme to weigh pieces differently, assuming pawns’ positions affect the game less than those of queens.

...no? A pawn being blocked vs. passed can completely change who's winning, and if the queen is hanging it doesn't really matter where. The chess section is strange.

It's interesting to think of positions that can be reached in fer moves being close to each other in search space, but that seems like it would just become standard BFS.
I think there are three categories rather than just two. Cold application, reached out to by a recruiter, or referred by a former colleague. Seeing how internal recruiting or "sourcing" works, I don't see it as being vastly different from a cold application. Someone dredged up your profile on LinkedIn and reached out to you based on a keyword search (in all likelihood). Once you responded, they passed you off to the recruiting pipeline. There's not much more signal in you having a keyword on LinkedIn as having a keyword on your resume.

Only the third, a referral from an actual ex-colleague, would I skip any of the basic vetting steps. (Said differently, I agree "that's the (in-house) recruiter's job, or hiring manager's"; this is them doing it...)

Selling your experience IS an important skill. Other factors may have played a part too.

> successful software engineers I've met also have the ability to bullshit

Is it their bullshit that gets them to be successful? Or is it that they're more friendly, tactful, and and positive?

To be clear, I don't doubt that you're telling it as you see it. I'm just wondering if your perceptions match the reality.

If someone is always talking about how bad they are at something, then I'll interpret that as the person being negative, lacking confidence, and pessimistic. That's not the kind of person I'd want to be around in general, let alone hire.
Agreed. I never had an appreciation or strong desire to exercise, play competitive sports, etc until mid-way through college when I decided to start running (couch to 5k).

Since then I've started skiing, climbing, and running regularly, and there are a number of benefits that I've noticed:

- Great social outlet

- As you do it more and more, pushing yourself, and competing is quite fun

- I used to have back pain and other issues - being active has definitely helped with that

- It helps regulate my mood
I've used ChatGPT-4 to create new components in a larger game of mine. I provided an example class that does something similar and an interface and it flawlessly created a new component the way that I would have with the new functionality, in like 10 seconds.

I've also used it to create new functionality in the game, but those were mostly isolated features. Like I implemented controller rumble support yesterday in about 10 minutes thanks to its help. Probably would have taken me several hours on my own.

I don't know to what extent I can integrate it directly into the game, but I think the main limiting factor is the token limit and my desire to manually copy+paste enough context, not limitations in its actual abilities (which it does have some, I'm debugging along with it an issue in a 3D graph class I had it create last night).

The code it created worked fine when it was just drawing thin lines, but I had it convert the drawing to 3D rects so it could have different widths (technically it recommended that solution when I asked for line widths) and there's been some glitches, namely only one team is showing and the rest of it is now only visible when I set the draw mode to not cull anything.

Hoping to get past that tonight or tomorrow. It at least is giving me some good ideas for approaching debugging it, I'd be pretty much at a loss if it was just me, as I've always struggled to debug 3D graphics issues when the graphics just don't show up on the screen.
I'd say it's more about prioritizing what you want to learn. For one thing, frontend or backend? Fullstack?

It's worth asking ChatGPT. Seriously, you can get a list of options and then discuss whichever one you want.
I’d say Safari is not bad at all on an iPad. I remember a lot of people carping because of bad ideas from PWAs not being implemented (spam spamifications, half-baked rube goldberg schemes that accomplish half of what Netscape Netcaster did back in the day…) but really all the real web apps and even demos like visualization of NeRF models work on my iPad.

Cynicism has nothing to do with nuance.
Overprescription is a gigantic problem in the US. Most of that can be attributed to being overly careful, but many doctors are legitimately just prescribing treatments that are known to be unhelpful in expectation for personal gain. Knee and hip surgeries are common examples. They regularly degrade quality of life in recipients. We should be doing less, but then the surgeons that perform them would make less money.
> Looks like it’s only starting for drugs in 2026. But until now, they paid whatever list price the manufacturers dreamed up:

We're not talking about prescription drugs - the entire thread so far has been about inpatient and outpatient care.

Medicare does not negotiate prices for prescription drugs at the moment, but that's because pharmaceutical coverage for Medicare is provided by private insurers, and those private insurers are responsible for negotiating the rates.
>The solutions to these problems are equally obvious: more density; preserving existing green space to allow for stormwater runoff; better public transportation to decrease reliance on cars; the decommissioning of urban highways; comprehensively transforming the energy sector in pursuit of a post-oil world; and, most of all, building affordable, livable, and—dare I say it—rent-controlled or even government-funded housing.

All of these urbanist types always come to the exact same collectivist conclusions. It treats human culture as a mathematical optimization problem, which it isn't. Everything would just be so much better if we all lived in 20 story 800sqft apartments and took the bus everywhere.

I don't want to live like that. I want a car, maybe two for my family so that we can go where we want when we want. I want a home large enough to entertain friends, host holidays, and house my children. I want a yard with grass, and I want to spend my saturday mornings mowing it. And I think that's exactly what most other Americans want.

There has to be a solution that doesn't involve the loss of individual autonomy, privacy, and freedom that we value in the US. I will not eat the bugs. I will not get into the pod.
Wendy’s tests an AI chatbot that takes your drive-thru order
I came to US from India in 1996. During my college years, at a state school in CA, 80% of the student in CS courses were from India. Almost all of the boys from India cheated on exams because professor would generally leave the classroom. Grading was done on curve so those of us who didn't cheat had bad grades to show for :-)

India has been a low-trust society for a long long time and remains so. Every Indian I know would admit this in private. Back in 90's there was an Indian grocery store in Fremont, CA owned by a Gujarati gentleman. He had a poster on the wall that offended many of his countrymen. It said, "100 mein sey 90 beyimaan, fir bhi mera Bharat Mahan!". Roughly translated it says 90 of 100 Indians cheat but still my India the great.
I once checked out a similar basement apartment for a friend. There were three or four bedrooms within this basement, taking up maybe 30% of the total basement square footage. The rest was absolutely unusable open space with tons of support beams breaking it up, and an extremely slippery granite floor. The kitchen was nice and you could theoretically see the TV in the "living room" zone, but it was like 30-40 feet away so it was too far to be useful.

Just a big ole batcave under a giant home.
Those meanings are stored in billions of human brains which trigger neural networks which cause us to exhibit a behavior. The meanings are not intrinsic to the universe, but are specific to our own knowledge.

Take for instance the word "Red." To a computer this means: 52, 65, 64

The there is a mapping to letters call an ASCII table or UTF-8 encoding. Then there is a mapping from character data to a bitmap containing the letters projection on a screen. Then there is a mapping in your brain that associates that sequence of letters to a neural structure that encodes your memory of the color red. That mapping was created by a teacher that showed you the color red next to those letters.

But in the end, the numbers 52, 65, 64 haven't gained any information. They could still mean anything based on which system interacts with them. An RGB color picker will interpret it as a nice teal color. Without knowing what system to use to interpret their meaning, they are meaningless aside from the numbers themselves. You need the key to find the difference which is information itself.
Sure, they're gauche, but when you're looking for a place to raise a family that's near good schools, near a grocery, doesn't require a remodel or update, has room for you to work remotely, and you can't afford to just "buy land and build something that fancy magazine editors would approve of", then you're limited to "gauche McMansions". Could we live in a 2,000 sqft house that was built in 1940? Sure! Would it cost us our savings and sanity to bring it up to code? Probably!
I think you took too much from implication. TFA states that they are getting promotions. Everything else is assumptions:

1. They are considered high performers (maybe promotions are on a schedule?)

2. They are actually high performers (some people can bullshit their way through a job for years).

3. They are outperforming a hypothetical person who didn't cheat on the test and would have been hired instead of them with an honest assessment.

I found Robert Drews' explanation the most coherent, although it hasn't caught on so there must have been some problem with it.

His explanation was military-technological: infantry weaponry and tactics advanced to the point that infantry > chariotry. At that point, masses of common people with relatively cheaply made weapons (still bronze at this point) could beat the military of the established civilizations, and all those cities were ripe for the looting. Only Egypt and Assyria were able to adapt their militaries to the new realities and survive.

This also explains why, when civilization reestablished itself in the Iron Age, it was in a much different form.

> If you enter a trade in the “wrong direction”, you’re much more likely to get a fill than if you are in the right direction.

Takers (ie. most retail investors) always fill. Makers create an order book, defining a buy (say $101) and a sell price (say $99), along with a spread in-between ($101-$99 = $2). If you buy a stock at a price the maker offered, you will be guaranteed to get it; the maker has no say in that transaction (they can't reject it anymore after the taker accepted).

If you do the math carefully, you'll see that both strategies "letting losers run" and "cutting winners short" fascinatingly have a neutral EV (ignoring fees and spread). You just take a lot of unnecessary risk/variance, but it all averages to zero. (Even the strategy "I just go all-in until I am bankrupt" has a zero EV after any finite number of iterations, because the exponentially unlikely chance of you winning every single time comes with exponential payoff.)

The fundamental principle behind this is that takers buy at market prices (ignoring fees and spread), and that those market prices are in an equilibrium. If it were possible to easily lose money by buying at market prices, then billion-dollar hedge funds would've already shifted the market prices by simply doing the reverse, before the retail trader would have any chance to trade on it.
It's kind of funny to see these announcements when their stock price is at a near all-time high.

I've been using the app for a few months to gatekeep Twitter and Instagram, and my only real issue is that sometimes when those apps are linked to from other places, I just want to be able to quickly see it and then stop my doomscrolling. e.g. if my friend sends me a tweet, I want to be able to click the link, read the tweet, and then be immediately locked out of the app. With the current system, I click the link, have to do the whole 10s breathing exercise + quote, then read the tweet, and I still have a bit of time to mess around in the app before I'm locked out. So I actually end up spending more time distracted in those situations than I otherwise would.
Thanks. It was a really fun project. There were a lot of things to keep track of so readability of the code was a big help to not lose the big picture.

So, that means pay reduction for all employees this year right? unless there's suddenly a inflation->deflation transition?
Honestly the key is to be patient. Put it a low-ball offer on a .com you want then wait. They'll reject initially, then they'll contact you again every couple months to see if you're still interested. Keep the low-ball offers going, maybe increasing by very small increments. Eventually you will catch them in a moment where the seller is desperate and then you strike a deal. I got a 6 letters .com domain for $3k down from $40k this way.

You're offering nothing but false choices and strawmen. No data, no coherent argument, just a vague list of inefficiencies and concerns and some literal nonsense about license plates. Dozens of wealthy nations have healthcare systems that provide better outcomes with minimal debt. To not look at those systems for a better way to craft out own system would be idiotic.

Russian or Brexiteer? My opinions aren’t relevant as I was merely pointing out how countries typically view non-citizens. While it’s not nice or fair, citizens of countries viewed as hostile are often viewed with hostility. The wars of the 20th century pointed this out multiple times. Look at the Japanese in North America and the Germans in Eastern Europe. The Middle East isn’t exactly brimming with goodwill towards its various neighbours or even its own citizens and residents.
> has less to do with their sheer size(...) and more to do with how badly utilized it all is.

That's basically what I'm getting at. I've been in close to a dozen mcmansions, only one actually felt like it was a home rather than a catalogue ad.

I don't think the average McMansion owner has any intention of utilizing the space, and I'd argue they're designed in a way antithetical to utilizing the space.

Large open areas aren't suitable for living space unless you want a full living room in every room. If you were to say, convert one into an office, it'd be an interesting arrangement.

They're basically designed with the kind of banquet you see in movies, in mind. Once the party is over, you just have empty space.

Their combined D-D/D-He3 reaction will emit 6% of its energy as neutron radiation, compared to 80% for D-T. Mostly they'll be lower-energy neutrons, and it's only a 50MW reactor. They don't plan to make it bigger, just to make lots of them.

They're considering doing the D-D reaction in a separate reactor to produce the He3. The D-He3 reaction is purely aneutronic, and while some D-D will still happen, they can tune it so it doesn't happen much. That would mean very little neutron radiation at the power plants.
