I can't claim GP's 100% hit rate, but I think I can get to about 90% this way.

My most recent error is galling though, and absolutely would have been caught with a lightweight coding test.

Sure, the spending should be subject to question, but even a seemingly staggering sum like $800 billion is only a few percentage points of GDP. I don’t want to call it a rounding error, because it isn’t, but it’s a pretty small burden on the US economy.
At the time of my completing the quiz, 21% said riding a skateboard in the park violated the rule. But only 13% said carrying a skateboard violated the rule.

I'm puzzled by that. Does a vehicle stop being a vehicle when it's not vehicularizing? It'd get it if it were, "Jane carries a food tray" versus "Joe rides a food tray down the hill." But here the skateboard's purpose is to be ridden.
Computers used to be humans skilled in doing careful painstaking calculations for clients that were guaranteed not to contain arithmetical mistakes (which would ruin the computer's reputation). Computers had aids like log tables to do multiplications via the process of addition and so on, with slide rules coming into play more recently.

Programmers are currently humans skilled in the careful painstaking generation of code to accomplish specific tasks, but in the future programmers might be complex AI systems. However, some humans who understand both computation and programming will be required to talk to people who want these services but who don't know how to interact with the programmers and their computers.

Where this is all going is an interesting question... will general AI systems arise that are capable of making their own decisions about what goals the programmers and computers should be targeted on?

> These are questions worth asking and answers worth hearing, but the problem with the question here is that the rule "no vehicles in the park" already comes with a lot of baggage. For example, it's obvious that the rule is meant to prevent driving engine-propulsion vehicles through a park (a rule that we've seen many times in our own parks), so naturally police cars and ambulances will (or should) be exempt, especially if trying to save a life. Otherwise the corollary would be that saving a life is less important than the rule "no vehicles in the park." Which most would very obviously disagree with.

That's the point, though! Everyone arrives at these moderation discussions with baggage, and it's not the same baggage.

Like, it is very much not obvious to me that the rule is "meant to prevent driving engine-propulsion vehicles through a park". Plenty of parks prohibit bikes and skateboards. If we care about "saving a life" then I actually don't think we should make an exception for cop cars. Reasonable people can disagree! Even the most obvious-seeming judgments are, in fact, not obvious.

A Wyoming federal court just ruled the truck wasn’t in the park [1], I agree!

My reasoning was that in emergencies, typically, certain rules don't apply to certain groups of people if their actions are related to the emergency. Therefore, a police officer driving a police car into the park (assuming they're doing it because of the emergency) is not a violation of "no vehicles in the park" because for that officer, in that situation, there effectively is no such rule.

In the real world, we might debate whether it was actually an emergency and so on, but here we're told straight up.
I also got 11% answered no to everything but car and horse...

My work machine is prohibited from connecting to port 25 outside of the accepted work systems. When on VPN, I can't even connect to port 25 within the local networks.

I can connect to port 1025 just fine.

Oops, I accidentally set it to send all the emails. How much does it cost to handle 500 email in the next few minutes? Mailpit is free.

That 500 test email that were sent to mailpit, they're correct and should be sent out to the testers.

Mailpit (and its predecessor Mailhog) were not difficult at all to spin up and test. Any developer with docker running on their machine can do local testing without any issues. Data never leaves the machine or intranet - this makes security types sweat less.

I welcome people having a healthy fear of orcas.

If you see orcas, you should move away from them and leave them alone. Some states, like Washington, are passing laws requiring that you stay a certain distance from them at all times.
I also answered no to every question and got the "11%" statistic, matching the percentage that many other users here received.
OK, that makes sense, I think. Thanks for explaining!
It seems unlikely that we both agreed with 11%, yet that's what it says.

This proves that deliberately bad instructions produce bad results. That's not surprising.

If this included a definition of a vehicle, and asked if a vehicle was in the park, I'd expect consistent answers outside of the oddball aircraft and space station questions.

I'd note my local park has such a rule, and the sign has pictures of what are and are not allowed, including a picture of a drone.
I don't know that this had the intended effect for me. I answered the questions as I would like the 'rule' enforced. The important thing isn't about believing the rule to be entirely valid and merely enforcing it, it's about which way you want it applied and why. Then you have to try to make everything else also fit into the oddly shaped boundaries that are forming. It's also way better if you can be transparent about it, and in some cases redraw the lines and reformulate how to decide which side new cases land.
By that logic, no one is advocating violence unless they intend to participate in the violent act directly. It’s a logically consistent position, but it’s also a highly implausible one.
Yep. Obviously this is a thought experiment, and the site did tell users to take the problem as stated very literally. So I basically went with two simple rules:

- Would anyone call it a vehicle?

- Is it in the park?
Consul, Envoy, websockets. These are architectural components called out in the article. Are you saying that AOL used this same architecture and you don’t see anything “fundamentally unique”?

If you’re using the word architecture even though you mean product functionality, you can simply go to https://slack.com/help/articles/115003205446-Slack-plans-and...

Look at the functionality listed there and see how many things AOL supported which Slack does not and vice versa.
Why would you expect anyone currently employed to be able to share code they've written? Presumably, their employer would not permit that.

Oh, they should also be writing code in their free time, as a hobby? Well, maybe. Or maybe they have other hobbies, or other responsibilities. Doesn't mean they don't do a good job when they're on the clock.
I upgraded my system less than 24 months ago, up from 8gb to 16gb of RAM. My main reason for that was gaming, but I also expected a speed-up on the usual OS tasks.

A month ago I realized that my RAM was topping at 95% capacity when running the usual suspects (vscode, edge, etc). I bought an additional 16Gb, and I'm already at 55%.

Now, RAM optimizations aside, what the hell...

I blame us, or the current generation of us. Performance (CPU and RAM) is so cheap that I feel we don't optimize anything anymore. Many of my colleagues don't have a clue on how to run a profiler, let alone actually optimize a system.

And we are always turning to more productive yet less performant platforms such as nodejs etc. It's a valuable trade off, but maybe we have gone all to an extreme...
More specifically, mission control management intentionally chose to launch Challenger after being notified that the launch was rejected by engineering.

Thanks! That's a good idea for easiest transition. However, what I'd like to see more than seamless transition (of negligent amount of code), is a transition to a fully-featured framework that would allow me to build new complex functionality rapidly.
The point of FPGA is not to make competitive CPUs. It’s to _prototype_ them. Give wide access to that, and more people will be able to design cores, and experiment with different design trade-offs, or even computing models.

Granted, a softcore on FPGA is at high volumes much more expensive and much less capable than a corresponding ASIC. At low volumes however it’s the only affordable alternative, and that’s make them the gateway to hardware design by the people (and increasingly, for the people as well).

By the way I recently purchased a Tillitis key¹, a security dongle with a RISC-V soft core (PicoRV32) running on the iCE40 Ultra Plus FPGA. I absolutely love their approach, where you can run arbitrary programs on that key, and each program gets an independent secret seed (derived from the key’s secret and a hash of the program). Sure this FPGA soft core is much less powerful than an equivalently priced hard core would have been, but I’m not sure they could have done such an open design without it.

Especially the upcoming unlocked version, which will allow customers to customise the "hardware" itself. I personally can’t wait, I’d like to experiment a couple optimisations.

Not just takehomes but also applies to things like automated coding challenges as an initial step before I've talked with someone.

Twice I've aced these challenge with time to spare and was then rejected or ghosted.

It's the same idea; don't invest time into a company's interview loop unless you know they're investing something too.
I answered yes to all of them and it said I was in the 11% majority as well.
That was fun. I decided early on that a vehicle is any tool that allows something to move. So an ant on a paper airplane or a kite is a vehicle. The surfboard allows someone to move and they carried it into the park, so that's not allowed. Since I wasn't allowed to apply any of my jurisdiction's laws, I also had to ticket the International Space Station for going into my park's airspace. Moon, I'm watching you, you're next.

Thinking about it further, no shoes either.

They said this was all about content moderation and to me the answer is simple. I would never visit the "no vehicles in the park" park.
> This engine development for example, is something that in the US startups who don't get much government money are doing. And there are like 10+ companies working on comparable technology.

"working on" is not good enough, most start-ups never succeed. Very few have a fully-tested reusable engine. And the engine has to be in the same class - most start-ups work on miniature rockets, only good to launch a couple tons into space.

Bottomn line is, Europe does not have the intense private investment for this sort of thing, but the work still needs to be done.
So that includes wheelchair? Would anyone call it a vehicle?
I really do.
The instructions for the exercise tell you straight up to ignore any and all exceptions, yet 30% of people chose to apply their own judgment in the police and ambulance case because it felt right to them. Very telling.
It maximizes their revenue until I decide to stop using Google. Joke's on them for not measuring long-term effects.
>rust demands that I cross every last t before I can run it at all. which is great if you already have a crystal notion of what you are building

As a Rust beginner, I find the principle that "if it compiles, it works" quite helpful for catching technical oversights.
Let's say that in your opinion:
(a) it's a vehicle,
(b) it's in the park,
(c) but the park authority doesn't have jurisdiction over the activity.

Is the correct resolution to deny (b)?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what "in the park" represents within the analogy.
Smart really, they cannot make things too fast or there is no reason for us to upgrade every year to reach that unobtainable top.
> You completely totally and absolutely missed the point. It is about moderation, and rules there are usually MORE vague than "no vehicles,"

my complaint - that "no vehicles" isn't a great analogy - is because it's not vague enough. I didn't state that outright, you just assumed something different.
There is an asymmetrical power balance here. And there are lots of unknowns. You are often working with a lot of constraints and in the moment, you'll make concessions. So I don't blame the candidates.
This is very jurisdictional dependent, and the exercise was pretty clear that you are not in any of those jurisdictions.
I thought the instructions were pretty clear that it's a violation, even if e.g. your religion says it's okay.
Rostov is 1,000 km from Moscow.
Am I crazy/dumb or is the chart super confusing? I really had to stare at it to figure out how to read it, and I'm still just guessing the vertical scale is percent of the whole that think each item is a car.

But also I got 11% here.
The opening statement spectically addresses this:

> Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed).
The idea that we're all in the dark about the real relative sizes of the countries is silly. It's not like we look at a globe and get shocked by the sizes of the countries.

On my team, there was not intially acceptance from folks that were used to traditional nlp techniques. The models built with transformers were viewed as over parameterized.

It really wasn't until the original BERT paper came out and topped the superglue leaderboards that the move from lstm-cnn based architectures started. I remember feeling at the time that a ~300M parameter model was absolutely huge.
Completely agree with the key point here. An example that blows my mind is the incredibly unresponsive UI built in to my $2,000 television. How does a very expensive device like that end up with a series of clickable boxes that lag so much I frequently wonder if it’s working or not.
this seems so wrong-headed as far as policy goes. does nothing to address the root of the problem.
Long ago on Youtube, ESA had a channel with - I want to say "Dr. Dave" but its hazy - who showed a lot of the neat imagery that was coming out of Hubble.

No, it needs labels, not dumb.
We need to go deeper!

I would say those two things are very different. The ground (floors are inside) is the cooperating object upon which leading objects carry.

The shoes carried the person on the ground, the car carried the person on the ground, the horse carried the person on the ground, etc;

An interesting dilemma does occur if we are walking barefoot: our feet carry us but are part of our whole, so we cannot reasonably consider them or ourselves a vehicle. But in a general day-to-day sense we would say they carry us.

It is very interesting what you brought up because I think it shows some people consider their outfit as an extension of themselves. Then again, many people also do for their car :)
Plus batteries plus transmission?
Determining whether a horse is a vehicle was the hardest for me. I could see the ambiguity for some other questions, but pretty easy to decide.
This BBC article from 2001 states a price of $36k, but says the couple actually won their trip down - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1461368.stm

I agree that the pricing disparity is very odd, but then there is much that is very odd about this story. Maybe it's just another tragic story of human hubris.

For instance, Hamish Harding seemed like a very accomplished aviator and adventurer, having lead the world record "One More Orbit" mission - the fastest circumnavigation of the globe via both poles, over 46hrs, in a Gulfstream G650ER. He holds the world record for the longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel - 4hrs+/2.88 miles along the sea floor of Challenger Deep, in Deep-Submergence Vehicle (DSV) Limiting Factor - a proper sub which is now technically owned by Gabe Newell I believe. Look at pictures of it - it's a very different beast to the Titan. He's been up in Blue Origin. Amongst many, many other things. He's not a stranger around highly experienced, competent people in very well engineered vehicles.

I just don't understand how a man with that level of experience and knowledge didn't take one look at that sub and crew and instantly nope out. Does the desire for adventure just switch off the risk mitigation part of the brain?

When you try and find solid information about how many deep sea missions were actually done in that sub, you're left in a mess of conflicting numbers and stories. Given the viewport glass was only rated to 1300m, and the hull was supposedly "rebuilt" due to cyclic fatigue in 2021[1], I simply can't believe any numbers like 13+ deep sea missions to the Titanic after that rebuild without catastrophe striking much sooner. How do you even rebuild a carbon fibre hull that was built from: "He said he had gotten the carbon fiber used to make the Titan at a big discount from Boeing because it was past its shelf-life for use in airplanes."[2]

In my experience it was the opposite. 98SE was great, ME was worse.

NT might be more stable but it was also much slower. DOS applications on 9x actually ran in a VM with hardware passthrough, whereas NT emulated much of the hardware via NTVDM. Interacting with something as simple as the EDIT text editor in a window on 2K/XP is noticeably slower than on 9x.
I am also in the 11%, I don't think this it is accurate or I'm misunderstanding what the number actually represents.
> If the choice is a Rust library with 95% of the code in unsafe blocks, ... Rust is not providing any real safety benefits in that situation, is it?

Humans carry all kinds of goods and often carry people. Even if we limit "goods" to exclude our personal effects, someone carrying takeout across a park—especially for someone else—could be considered a vehicle by that definition.

Additionally strollers, wagons, and other baby or child conveyances would also qualify.
I also got 11%
Huh.

I didn't realize displays had gotten this efficient. I remember when LED backlights were more efficient, but not efficient (huge leap over CCFL, obviously).

So yeah, sounds like the parent comment's Ubuntu is just grossly misconfigured, either out of the box, or merely a few things relevant to Intel Cove-era have to be manually flipped on/off.
