FWIW, I always got my best 'raises' by switching jobs. Often times exponentially larger raises than I would have gotten sticking around.

A good company that values you will say yes to a raise. The fact that they say no means either a. they don't value you, or b. they can't afford to pay you fairly. Neither of those things is a good sign...
MS-DOS was not really what people would today consider to be a "true" kernel, as it didn't implement any sort of access controls, boundaries, or other process management functionality. It was more of a set of shared libraries, and also included some standards such as a file system, and program loader format.

Even Windows 1.0, which more directly sat on top of MS-DOS, had to implement considerable amounts of functionality that would be considered more of a kernel than what MS-DOS offered.
This line of talk is way overplayed. Like people who have an enthusiast amount of knowledge follow a few people who have professional knowledge who are just unreasonably fixated on what other physicists pursue.

Doubt and questioning are a part of science but this "religion" meme about string theory et al is silly. If you're really upset that somebody is pursuing something is a blind alley, go ahead and do some physics that shows results, otherwise I really wish people would tone the unhelpful criticisms down.

Forget the food web, other people also exist, which is incredibly hard for central valley farmers to understand. I'm not sure the workers of the decimated pacific fishing industry would quite agree that the fish are 'random'.

It really comes down to living in a society with competing interests. Society has decided that protecting the last salmon is somewhat important. I say somewhat because central valley farmers are HEAVILY subsidized by the state and federal government and still to get to take the lions share of the water to grow water intensive crops on the desert heat.

What's that old saying? "When you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression".
Interestingly, it seems first mover advantage backfired on this company. Due to lack of margins and vendor lock in.
Not really. If it is the _experience_ that is the main cause for reduction of depressive symptoms, it means that other ways to generate similar experiences (such as meditation, talk therapy, prayer, sensory deprivation...) could have a similar effect. If it is the physical effect of the medicine on the brain which is responsible for the effect, it would mean that it might be possible to design drugs that have the same effectiveness without being psychoactive.

Some context may be needed. Walmart is known in MBA circles for being one of the first companies to have used detailed data on products to negotiate new terms with suppliers ( usually to suppliers detriment ).

This is a very uncharitable take. What about games like Holopoint or Pistol Whip?

Besides, in some genres, "X but in VR" can make for a very big difference. Space and flight sims - even very arcade ones - are a prominent example. The ability to actually look around and track enemy craft easily is huge - I wouldn't even consider playing something like Project Wingman without VR anymore, even though it is available.

thanks Max, I'm also a fan of ionic. fwiw, I usually start with uuids now that they're natively supported: `id uuid primary key default gen_random_uuid()`. Changing a PK/FK type on a database definitely isn't trivial.
What I have not understood yet is how do you preserve invariants over a merge of JSON crdt. What do you do when a document has a structure that can be represented as a json, but not every valid json is a valid document? How do you avoid merges producing valid jsons but invalid documents?
The best example of “slowing down water” would be what beavers do. The results are not so straightforward, even with taking deposition as an outcome. Beavers following their instincts result in complex yet resilient landscapes that supports woodlands.

I think the pattern of simplification you are talking about is thoroughly explored in James C Scott’s Seeing Like a State, where complex systems are too complex for the governing body, and made legible through oversimplification. Actions are undertaken on the basis of the oversimplication. The results are disastrous. There are many historical examples. I was not talking about “slowing down water” in that way, though I get people might take it that way.

In areas with poor soil, increased deposition is a desirable thing in many cases. Extreme cases like wasteland and erosion that exposes bare bedrock, you need all the deposition you can get (until the land can support an ecosystem again)

More importantly, the design patterns I am thinking of involves the accumulation of organic material. The overall goal and metrics isn’t just slowing down water, but rather, restoring soil health to support an ecosystem, which in turn, helps regulate water.

You wouldn’t necessarily slow down the river. You start with slowing things down onsite where the land receives rainfall. And you definitely want to avoid having soil wash away to be deposited downstream.

Every site is different, and requires intense observation and unique designs using working principles — that’s design principle #1 of permaculture design, “observe and interact”.
This article has a good breakdown of where the Colorado's water goes.

TL;DR:

- 55% goes to livestock feed (hay, alfafa, etc.)
- 11% cotton
- 14% other food crops
- 4% thermoelectric power
- 4% commercial & industrial
- 12% residential

I'd be further interested to know how much of each of those are exported (the article mentions that a 2020 study estimated 10-12% of all US livestock feed crops are exported).

It seems ridiculous that we're putting the economic benefits of exporting these crops against the long-term sustainability of citizens living in the region.

If anything, the UK take on surveillance was (for me as a visiting American) hugely de-stressing.

In the US, I worry that some anonymous fellow citizen packing heat is going to snap and decide to execute a lifestyle change on me I didn't ask for and then melt away, unaccountable. The US unsolved murder rate is at a record high. Between the lack of firearm rights and the ubiquitous surveillance, I never had that fear in the UK.
Unless you are a startup, and unless sprinklers aren't required in the building code, and are optional.. such as in my area.

But you see, it was a joke, which illustrates my frustration with all this chatgpt blather. And as with many jokes, it has a point.

That is, that this tech is wildly unreliable for any use requiring decisions, yet people are working with it, as if it is.

And "bad things" will be the result.
> People who say this nonsense need to start properly defining human level intelligence because nearly anything you throw at GPT-4 it performs at at least average human level, often well above.

"Average human level" is pretty boring though. Computers have been doing arithmetic at well above "average human level" since they were first invented. The premise of AGI isn't that it can do something better than people, it's that it can do everything at least as well. Which is clearly still not the case.
Is this... actually anything meaningfully impressive? The article says they're doing it with a 140kWh battery. It just sounds like they packed a much larger battery into a normal sedan and got 1000km/620mi of range. The Lucid Air, for comparison, already gets 520mi of range on a 118kWh battery. Seems well within reason that if they packed another 22kWh of battery in then they, too could get that same range. And if you didn't actually need all the fancy performance that a Lucid Air gets, it seems like you could easily get well beyond that.

In any case, others being paid doesn’t diminish your contributions. You know that you’ve helped and benefited others. (Wikipedia redefined my view of networks!)

Nah, full-on babelfish is simply not possible. The meaning of the beginning of a sentence can be modified retroactively by the end of the sentence. This means that the Babelfish must either be greatly delayed or awkwardly correct itself every once in a while.
It’s not exactly safe to handle, it’s just not acutely fatal until it’s supercritical. Plutonium forms an oxide that easily flakes off so handling any sized demon core is full of danger. Bump it against something, scratch it, or even if the environment is particularly humid the powder will get everywhere.

Ingesting or inhaling any of that oxide would result in a slow and very painful death.
I had one case, with the same SQL server, where rewriting to a join made the query much faster. That was a data changing statement though, and I think the semantics demanded it rerun the subselect.

More recently, I've found that mysql sometimes behaves poorly with subselects, so I tend to avoid them out of habit.
The goal of microservices isn't to have many (no pun intended) "micro" "services" doing each a little bit of work, but to allow an organization to deploy parts of an application separately.

Even if all the two 64-core 128GB nodes on the cluster run copies of all the two services.

That link just says "Use Postgres for caching instead of Redis with UNLOGGED tables". That's not helpful and going one link deeper, it says "reports range from 10% to more than 90% in speed gain" which is not that fast.

> the SO link showing that Postgres cannot do caching (expiring old data) is explicitly addressed

Nope, UNLOGGED tables don't expire old data. They just fill up forever unless you use a trigger like the one in the answer I linked.

I also don't see anyone claiming they can saturate their network interface with postgres the same way they can with any KV store.

People understand this dogma perfectly well, no reasoning or critical thinking required. Literal, to be under the standing of another mind.

No logical basis exists for black holes, they are a rationalization for the faulty foundation upon which they lie, a fantasy to explain condescending pseudotheory.

The defect is defending a false doctrine, accepting as truth a scientifically evident hoax.

Look for different jobs. It's possible that your expectations are out of line, bigger companies that do a lot of hiring know more about the market than you do, but this is a low probability.

Get out there and interview. You don't know what you'll find. The best bet is that you'll find a higher paying job.
If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.

Counterpoint is they're not investing into the top 10 or even 50 per year, they're investing in literally 3 batches per year at 250 - 500 candidates per batch that too at an 8 mil cap (even the best vcs in the world aren't allowed to invest at that cap).

At that dilution and a 10 minute interview slot, I essentially focused on other more important VC / client / employee meetings I had and wrote off the YC meeting as essentially random.

The amount of time they spend on each interview leads to questions on how much time they will actually spend with each team.

From personal experience, know several teams that are struggling to close a seed round post YC. I highly doubt that would be the case if the partners were heavily involved in their projects.

I posit that being accepted to YC means you're likely above average but not a strong signal by any means and not a guarantee that the YC partners will give you attention.
Does this have anything to do with the class action lawsuit? I submitted a claim at https://facebookuserprivacysettlement.com/ earlier this month.
There's a difference between over-paying suppliers and being literally the best in the world at squeezing suppliers, which Apple is IMO.

You can argue (and I will argue) that Apple's skill at squeezing their suppliers while still maintaining reliable supply chains is a huge part of why they're the biggest company in the world (and also why Tim Cook and not Scott Forstall or Jony Ive succeeded Jobs). That squeezing has real human costs, which Apple is insulated from.

They've outsourced the majority of their labor (and related liability) to a global cadre of high-volume, low margin suppliers, while capturing most of the value created by that labor by owning the Apple brand and maintaining tight control of information, resulting in an asymmetric risk/reward profile for Apple inc.
If people want to keep ordering takeout despite all these fees, is it not on them to vote with their dollars? It's also well known that iPhone users pay more than Android users, so I don't see why this sort of price discrimination would be bad, per se, much less illegal (what protected classes are being infringed upon here?), because, again, simply stop ordering takeout if the price is too high.
We need to get over ourselves with this "modern work" phrase. All work requires attention.

Did you really not know that the editors and "moderators" (a term not used on Wikipedia) are unpaid? The Wikimedia Foundation intervenes very rarely in content. Essentially, it only takes action on content if there is a court order to that effect. ALL OTHER CONTENT CURATION IS DONE BY UNPAID VOLUNTEERS.

The Foundation "does not write or curate any of the content found on the projects", as they are happy to tell you themselves here:

https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/10/05/a-victory-for-free-kno...

Even most of the emails sent to the Wikimedia Foundation are answered by unpaid volunteers, the Volunteer Response Team:

Google Translate is still inferior to ChatGPT 3.5. I suspect this style of model is significantly more expensive to run and Google doesn't want to give it away for free. Really, the only problem with ChatGPT is that it refuses to translate things that go against its nanny programming, which can make it almost worse than useless in some real-life situations.

His position regarding a lot of religious topics seems tainted by his personal beliefs.

He makes frequent reference to judaeo-christian archetypes, which seems to me to grossly overstate the relevance of the belief systems.

The fundamental archetypes represented in the human mind are far older than any current form of religion, to the extent that there's overlap then either the archetypes have been co-opted, or have been overlaid with a culturally mediated avatars.

I don't think that you ever find him framing those underlying structures in a way that does not tie back to Christ.
Ah, but for law enforcement types to say "hey, look what we found on the surveillance video server!" is a potential problem. The power asymmetry in society is ripe for exploitation by the powerful. They just need some goons - of which there are plenty - to do the dirty work.
Despite any shortcomings, Google Translate is still a technological marvel.

Modern translation apps and GPS are godsends that make travel a million times easier. And they're free! It blows my mind. Traveling would be so much more incredibly difficult without them.
I unfortunately can't answer that. My work gives me double-digit TB OneDrive, and if I need personal stuff on there, I put it in a password-protected 7z file. I don't actually use it all that much though. I just rsync between two laptops in the background and a copy of everything gets pushed to my phone when I plug in to charge at night. I only have about 500GB of data that I care about not losing - like a dump of all my emails in a pst going back 7 years, and some photos and personal video. Rsync does it all w/ 3 copies on local devices, and I don't think about it.
I'm yet to see a study that convinces me of the potential of this concept. All of them when you get down to the details have at least one of:

- An unrepresentative test set , i.e. a population with similar blood pressure at recording in which merely predicting a constant 'typical' reading would perform well in terms of accuracy.
- A major methodology flaw, such as 'demonstrating' an ability to detect fluctuations from a baseline calibration cuff reading in situations where you would expect no significant fluctuations to occur.

I don't have access to this particular paper, but suspect it has the same issue owing to the relatively small sample size.

Lol … I think the technical term for this is “hater”
I rememeber in 90s, local mid-level managers who worked for MNC in PRC tend to like their SKR bosses and frequently hated TW bosses simply because cultural overlap allowed them to push harder. With SKR they could at least feign ignorance with language barrier but TBH still got their work done. I can imagine shitshow of having language barrier and still not meeting KPIs because they're not cross culture competent.

Anyway Tata feels like a good fit, always felt like matter of time before audit/tax or political shenanigans drive foreign electronics assemblers out and eventually consolidate under India champions.
