Yes. Interviewees were free to pick any language to attack their problem. We found that interviewees who picked certain languages performed consistently worse during their interviews, and also received worse feedback in their 360-review after working for a year (if they passed).

The bottom languages were:
Java
C++
Php

They also made up the bulk of interviews. I suspect that Java and c++ together accounted for about 75% of all interviews.

Languages like ruby, python and golang increased your chances of passing the interview as well as getting good peer feedback one year on.

More niche languages (rust, erlang etc) didn’t have enough data points to be analysed separately, but if you grouped them they were the choice of the strongest candidates.
If I was given some assurances of what I was paying for, sure, I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks a month to get access to YouTube. Right now, I'm not willing to pay for a platform that is operated so poorly:

* Content is prioritized and screwed with too often. Videos that have no business anywhere near front-page or that are overall not well received are promoted because of shady backdoor deals with media companies. This is why late night talk show content is on the front page. I do not want to pay to support this.

* Content I have opted into seeing is suppressed, censored, etc. Creators that I enjoy have to modify how they make videos because of obscure and virtually unexplained reasons that YouTube mostly hand waves away as "the AI does a thing". They do not properly staff any kind of human review. The only way creators get their accounts back after the system goes completely haywire is by complaining on Twitter or other platforms and those without a megaphone get lost to the broken system. I am not interested in paying to support this.

* Basic features like comments have serious problems with them. The community has to attempt to hodge-podge together solutions while a multi-billion dollar company fails to do anything or provide the tools to stop rampant scams of a few basic types from ruining the comment section. I do not want to pay to support this.

* Features are randomly removed or subject to strange choices like the dislike button because a few people at YouTube think they know what the massive billions of people on the platform is best for them. I don't want to pay to support this.

Give me the option to pay and be free from these terrible choices YouTube makes and you can have my entire wallet.
Yes, it's very "high schooler trying to hit the word count" in its output.
Good questions.

I actually meant your normal wallet or bank account. They have a tendency to go towards zero even if we don't do anything because we already are paying monthly to be connected to the modern world. But yeah, attention and data are also good example of ones value draining away while using the web.

Re 1: most L1 blockchains have bridges to each other now. This means that I can move assets from one ecosystem to another quite easily. If one discounts the ethereum network, moving across chains is actually quite economic as well.

Re 2: in web2.0 sharing your data with another party was the only way to play. In the decentralized internet it is not. There is a lot of interesting work going on in this domain actually.

Re 3: I'll use an example from the gaming world but the concepts are transferable to non gaming 1 to 1. If Activision decides to create digital collectibles in their games today, I as an indie Dev cannot create a game where a user can log in and have their Activision stuff available in my game. In web3 these assets are encoded as state on an open platform so anybody can integrate them in their applications. In the case where NFTs are 1st class chain state, like in Cardano, you are even guaranteed that you can trade your NFT on whatever platform you choose, be that an indie game or the originating marketplace. Is it clearer now what the added value is?
This is still like tens of thousands of dollars of equipment to store information about a single person's biology.
The only reason I watch YouTube is because it’s free and ad-blockable.

But why in the world would I want to pay to support YouTube’s toxic incentives, abusive copyright takedowns, and overall rubbish treatment of small content creators?

The day Adblock stops working is the day I stop watching YouTube.
Basically this is akin to using C like coding with a C++ compiler, from the looks of it.

PHP 8+ is filling-in a lot of the missing features -- type hints, attributes, named parameters, etc.

Nowadays instead of using 'string_you_have_to_remember_and_might_mistype' or abusing associative arrays as in the given code sample, you can usually get full code completion luxury with PHP without magic comments or other workarounds.

PHP 8 is still missing a few critical features such as generics and typed resource handles, and nikic left the project, but I'm still hopeful PHP 9 will deliver on those key additions.
I too learnt webdev with Jeffrey back in the jQuery days of 2011 - I subscribed to laracasts at the start of the year (primarly to evaluate Laravael for work) and was delighted to see that he runs the site - he's like the Bob Ross of webdev.
Ad blocker awareness is still pretty low among non-tech folks. Google will presumably wait for some critical mass of users blocking ads before if pushes this.

Wonder what the economics of this is for Google? Would they rather have everyone pay $12 a month and nix ads altogether?

I suspect they still would want most people watching ads, considering how central their ads business is to their business model.
There is a logical mistake in your contrapositive statement.

A implies B is equivalent to Not B implies Not A.

The issue is that (Not gain) and (Lose) aren't exact opposites.

It's kind of hilarious that the current culture understanding of science is that it's worth pointing out Einstein was "wrong" nearly 70 years after he died.

I had a similar inkling, which is what led me to discovering APD. The tests for that were normal though.

This whole “hidden hearing loss” concept seems like such a broad term for a huge group of things. Some of them potentially related to dysfunction in the inner ear that we can’t test for but can be treated (in mice) with neurotrophin.

The specialist I saw said at the last conference she attended the researcher presenting on it said most patients presenting were in their 40s. I’ve not seen any papers that make such a claim though. I was only the second patient she’d personally encountered that had the symptoms, and we are both in our 40s.

My partner gets at least like 17% of comp as new RSU a year, and on top of that has gotten large special one time grants. The ratio of RSU is maybe lower than other companies (mine is 1/3 my comp.) but that’s kinda a good thing, especially with the large performance cash bonuses. I rather have cash than stock.
Makes me glad to hear that I'm not the only one, who feels like this.

I often think that I'm simply screwed for life: Without medication my life goes off the rails within days, with medication I'm at least barely able to hold it together, but I hate the nausea, hate the rebound (disorientation after the effect wears off), and the fact that I still don't remember to eat and rehydrate properly. I think I would need a life coach for a while, but as I'm surviving on a subsistence level, that's not an option.

Monkeys with human MCPH1 gene show human-like neoteny of brain development
Generalized artificial intelligence (AGI) comes with very real x-risks[1] (existential risks) and s-risks[2] (suffering risks).

An expert survey of 738 researchers who published in NeurIPS and ICML was done last year[3]. Their median estimation that AI will have an “extremely bad” long term outcome is 5%, and 48% of the researchers estimate the probability to be at least 10%. This is worryingly high considering the absolutely catastrophic consequences of the scenarios.

A minority of very vocal AI researchers (e.g. Yann LeCun) dismiss these risks entirely and claim that people read too much science fiction. But when you listen to their interviews it's very clear that they have no idea what they are talking about and never actually read any scientific literature on the subject.

The study of AI risks is a serious area of academic research that is worked on by labs from Stanford[4], Berkeley[5], Carnegie Melon University[6], Oxford[7], Cambridge[8], and many MANY other universities[9]. Not people who read too much science fiction.

Whilst by no means a new idea, physical and digital zettelkasten may interest some folks more than conversing with an LLM. Some people describe it as conversing with yourself or having a second brain. I don't find discourse with an LLM to be productive, but I do find surfing my zettelkasten to yield new and novel ideas, especially when it comes to problem-solving and research.

However, I'm still on industry forums and communities like HN to hopefully have new and conflicting thoughts thrown my way by peers. That's my primary concern with LLMs, a lack of fresh perspective that has all the nuance of experience and understanding behind its output.
Most of the time it’s not. Usually it’s just a cheap indirection to “I don’t like this”.

Could it be ADHD?

I have both ADHD and "hidden hearing loss" and I chalk both up to my brain struggling to filter out noise/distractions.
It is not just about youtube. The whole internet is bloated with ads right now, and the vast majority of them quite the opposite of discrete.

I just cannot browse the internet without adblocker, it is too slow, but more importantly too distracting. I could count the times that I have found an internet ad interesting in my lifetime using half the fingers of one hand. Personalised or not, the vast majority is useless, badly made, that just takes processing time both for the computer and my brain.

I will not, and probably cannot, pay and subscribe to any random website I am gonna visit to remove ads to make the experience tolerable, when I can just block the ads. If a website says that I have to disable the adblocker to view it, and I cannot go around it, 99% of the times I do not visit it, I do not care. I pay the people I want to support directly and that's it. I use bandcamp to buy the music I like directly. I subscribe to patreon to the ones that I feel they bring value to my life. But for the occasional or ephemeral video or entertainment, I will just as easily live without, as the disruption ads cause is worse than not viewing that content.

I believe it is my right to adjust my browsing experience by affecting how websites are rendered in my browser to a degree I find reasonable, as well as from my side what data tracking I allow, which is already a huge compromise for me (I would rather not allow js by default in most websites). If a website blocks this, I am not going to sacrifise my experience and I am not interested in browsing it.
Also there's the fact that once enough people get on board with the ad free subscription services, they usually just start adding ads anyway.
Yup, I have used Svelte, but not very much at all. Honestly, it didn't strike me as terribly different in syntax from Vue. It's a similar framework (in this case, compiler). It is a common paradigm in marketing that a new technology/product needs to provide 10x the benefit of its predecessors to convince people to switch. Would you say it provides that for you? I just went and reviewed some of the material on it, and see that it's getting known for being easier. This surprised me. You may have convinced me to go take another look.

Books (largely) aren't written for memorisation these days, with possible exceptions of some poetry, or children's books.

Classic oral literary traditions are based on rhyme, meter, repetition, simile, metaphor, and references to cultural touchstones and themes, for the most part, all of which strongly assist with memorisation. These are not only necessary for a literature which isn't written down and instead is passed on through generations orally, but also quite likely represents a survivorship bias in that works which didn't exhibit these patterns didn't survive. And of course the versions we know are the end of a long pipeline of transmission (or the world's largest and oldest game of telephone), captured in writing and then passed on to us as (among) the first written traditions.

I've committed a few poems and homilies to memory, one example for nearly thirty years now. I do refresh that recollection from time to time (and realised I was dropping a stanza consistently). It's an interesting counterexample.

Then again, I turned up a piece earlier today I'd written myself about eight years ago and had all but no recollection of.

> This could get really ugly given that Google controls Chrome and its extension ecosystem.

It would eventually give them the smokescreen they want to pull uBlock Origin from the chrome extension store. A while ago they basically used their weight to remove most video downloading extensions and added language to their terms of service which all but says "no youtube downloaders" and I would like to say it cost them, because it should, but most consumers are absurdly apathetic and don't care.

Adblockers are a larger group, but in the grand scheme of things I don't think it will have much impact. The Internet as a whole is a very large group and even though uBlock has a huge audience it's a drop in the bucket.
I wish there was an ad-light version. No ads in the middle of the video. Just occasional pre-roll ads. I'd happily pay $5 per month for it.
I’m fine with the visual aspect for 90% use cases (reading text, browsing pages), but it feels like it could be annoying for large content (e.g. drawing, photo editing).

The sensory aspect is another thing, it seems distracting to me to be getting this kind of physical feedback; I don’t like the durability risk either (I suspect this is an especially delicate area of the screen and it is raised too).

In any case I appreciate the response, it’s exciting to hear that folding phones already work well for others.

> no pattern could ever match a term containing a floating point number?

No equivalence matching on floating point numbers seems like a much healthier approach, yes. I don't expect people to have huge problems with "x greater than 0.0" or "z less than 16.35" but "p is exactly 8.9" suggests muddled thinking.

The floats are very strange. While machine integers are already a bit weird compared to the natural numbers we learned in school, the floats are much stranger so I expect code which is trying to test equivalence on these values is going to keep running into trouble.

We know that humans, including human programmers, do not appreciate how weird floats really are, so I think telling programmers they just can't perform these matches will have a better outcome than confusing them by allowing this and then it rarely has totally unexpected consequences because a+epsilon was equivalent to b even though mathematically a+epsilon != b
Contract risk management is an essential element of the contract lifecycle management strategy in today’s business environment. Today’s companies rely so heavily on contracts to conduct business that effective contract risk management is imperative. It begins with proper contract management. This includes having proper policies and procedures, managing contracts in an optimal manner and by monitoring contracts throughout their lifecycles to ensure that the company is adhering to the terms of their contracts. Contract risk management is a crucial part of the process for clearly identifying areas of risk for each of the contract’s lifecycle stages.
This is an Open Core product. The open source part of it seems to be quite limited (see https://supertokens.com/pricing) and therefore I have a hard time believing this version can be "an alternative to [...]".

Actually, the main motto of the frontpage is "Open Source User Authentication", which I also think is a bit of a mischaracterization of the software, since key features I'd look for on an authentication software are not open source.

I love that this is a Java-based project and the goals and ideas behind it; but I think the so prominent use of the terms "open source" is misleading and I recommend demoting them or using alternative terms to reflect a more precise reality.
I currently have YouTube Music, and have looked into getting Premium a couple of times, because I watch enough YT content to want the ads disabled everywhere. But for some reason they won't let me. If I go to the YT Premium page, they tell me I can't do anything there, and I have to go to my account page, where of course there is nothing to do either. I suppose I could cancel my YT Music subscription and then try to sub YT Premium, but with notoriously bad customer support and a number of family members using it also, I kind of don't want to go deal with that also not working and me having to go through the hassle of getting everybody in again.

If they want to sell premium so badly, maybe they should actually let me buy it.
> >I couldn't fit the data set in memory with PHP. But I could do it with Go.

when would you ever have a website serve a request, and have to use gigabytes of memory to do so?

> Consider the following (covers both statements above): you need to get some data from a few sources (databases etc) do some computation on each set and then do some sort of mapping to get the resulting set. You may want those computations to run in parallel and idealy you'd like to start mapping as soon as each computation function starts producing results.

Again, why would you ever have an HTTP server do so much work in order to serve a request?

Nice concept. Similar techniques can be found in neuroevolution, where genetic algorithms optimize neural networks. One major benefit is the ability to compare the performance of both subpar and exceptional models on a relatively fair basis. Considering this evidence, I anticipate that this approach will gain greater significance as the quality of language models surpasses our existing benchmarks. However, it's worth noting that a potential pitfall arises when certain models outshine the rest of the group.
