What possible feedback are people looking for after an interview, though? I've done 100s of interviews throughout my time at FAANGs. The bulk of the feedback generated is just low-value snap judgements made by people who really don't want to be there. It's a dice roll. You either land in a loop that (a) has more people that like you rather than dislike you, and (b) asks questions you know how to answer, and, by far most importantly, that you answer in the way that lines up with their biases, or you're dropped as an incompetent rube.

One of my coworkers at Amazon was leaving for greener pastures. Before she left, for the lols she showed me the feedback she left when she interviewed me. It was something absolutely brutal along the lines of "doesn't appear to be able to code at all" (I was offended upon seeing this "feedback"!). My point being: interviewing is stupid, and, generally speaking, there is no valuable feedback to be had from the process.
I’d only heard about this a few weeks ago. I’ve seen hunts for mystery songs go down before (“On the Roof”, what’s up!), but for some reason something about this one just feels off. Like that photograph of the track list - just seems a little too perfect that this is the one other bit of evidence.

For some reason, my BS detector is telling me that someone recorded a fake song a decade and a half ago, the long troll turned out far better than they ever could have imagined, and there’s no way they ever come clean about this.
Spider-Verse Artists Say Working Was ‘Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts’
IBM MBA says "money left on table, what can we do about that?" Someone suggests that GPL letter of the law only requires source be distributed with binaries, and so they decide to do that.
We have a ton of legacy in-house codebases that do all sorts of things, and were designed with RHEL/CentOS in mind (scripting, etc).

Our k8s containers are generally either the build-tool's default (usually ubuntu or debian) or we specify the alpine version. You are right though, for containers, caring about the distribution is generally not a concern.
> Except, that they are not

My experiences with NixOS show me that they are. What do I mean by that? I am forced (MSFT Intune) to use Ubuntu for work, and was using MacOS prior to that. Both took a good heft of time to boot up, especially compared to the WinNT example. They are general purpose and come with everything under the sun installed in-case the user needs it. In the latter case (MacOS) your hands are also pretty tied when it comes to slimming it down (to be clear, apps are easy to remove, but not system cruft).

The slowest parts of bootup on my personal PC (NixOS) are POST and the GRUB timeout. NixOS takes less time than either (< 2 seconds). I chalk that up to NixOS installing very little more than I tell it to.

I agree that WebApps make situation significantly worse, but the OS itself is full of garbage that does eat CPU cycles and IOPs.
Ah, sorry. (I edited my comment to remove that part.)
Anyone else wondering what was causing the banging every 30m the media seems to have forgotten about? There were reports saying nothing in nature could cause that...
I think the original title was better: "Bridging the gap between neural networks and functions"

It discusses the standard backpropagation optimization method in differential form and the functional approximation of neural networks, but doesn't discuss transformers at all that I could tell. I think the code might be helpful to some in understanding implementation, but so much is now done in accelerators that it doesn't really capture real implementations.
Hey, thanks for the write-up. I've been losing my patience with Windows for a long time, and seeing "AI" in an add on my start menu made me see red. I downloaded Linux Mint on my laptop for the first time and have been tinkering around with it for the past few days - it's definitely got a learning curve, but I really appreciate how flexible it feels versus Windows. I'm one of those people who have to go into Powershell with any new Windows device right off the bat, so I can remove most of the apps I don't need - an Xbox game interface, really? - but even I can remember a time when it wasn't this bad. I'm not even that old: the earliest Windows system I have concrete memories of is Windows XP!
I'm pretty good about doing that. I've gotten compliments before for a massive 10 line code comment above a-single-line-that-shall-not-be-deleted.
Seems like an excellent test target if you are maintaining a cpp compiler these days.

Bitcoin core is a pretty beefy and modern CPP code base that’s also has been extensively vetted and it would be fairly easy to also perform functional testing on the compiled binaries.
I'm not sure it's exponential, but it is dramatic.
I've noticed a big performance drop in the last few weeks as well.

Everything has gotten more sluggish.
For starters, I doubt that acting as a NVMe device is something you can do with a off the self "inexpensive RISC-V" with any kind of acceptable performance. A NVME engine would almost certainly be something that the flash controller would have implemented in fixed function hardware.

Also NAND flash practically requires some sort of error correction system - another thing that fixed function logic in a custom ASIC is very well suited for. Using CPU time on the host CPU for that would probably suck.
You can open notepad, a terminal prompt, and paint on modern Windows and it will be sluggish.

This reminds me. Whatever happened to IBM’s Watson? It’s not a LLM right? But it seem similar enough function wise.
Right, who wants to hear the opinion of a leader in the field? Virtue signaling is whatever I want it to mean.
As another tall ship, and for that matter in-shore commercial captain I found this quite telling.

> While classing agencies are willing to pursue the certification of new and innovative designs and ideas, they often have a multi-year approval cycle due to a lack of pre-existing standards, especially, for example, in the case of many of OceanGate’s innovations, such as carbon fiber pressure vessels and a real-time (RTM) hull health monitoring system. Bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation. For example, Space X, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic all rely on experienced inside experts to oversee the daily operations, testing, and validation versus bringing in outsiders who need to first be educated before being qualified to ‘validate’ any innovations.

Gamble with money all you want. Don't gamble with people. Things get fixed, people don't. That is quite a hard lesson for inexperienced people to learn.
Social App IRL, Which Raised $200M, Shuts Down
It probably had a lot promises and news agencies will be “highlighting” those for the next decade, so better just take it down in the meantime.
I'm sure they have whole teams dedicated to that, but even perfect software would still need these sorts of health checks at the scale slack operates. Sometimes you just have random failures in hardware or the OS, or you need to migrate software around the datacenter without bringing down the service. This is a generic way to route around all of that.

--- Answer to your last post ---

1-

To me " permanent outrage, inflammatory discourse, obstruction of debates, conflictualization of everything, exacerbating existing social tensions" or using "vague" undefined word or using "overused catch phrase" can definitely apply to Macron, Darmanin, Ciotti, Valls, Rousseau, Wauquiez... and many others. All mainstream political party. Most of mainstream politicians doing good in the medias in 2023. And I guess we can also say they are "dishonest megalomaniac", and many have as "serious anger management issues".

All mainstream political parties (except perhaps the Greens) have had serious internal democracy problems (including falsifying votes in PS, UMP, LR).

This is bad. This does not give faith in politicians. But it seems that for you this represent a danger for democracy when it comes to Melanchon, but not when it comes to centrists or politician from the right.

-
2- About the revolution.

You said he is "defining democracy around concepts like "the revolution" ; that is absolutely not the case, especially not in the video you sent.

As I said in a previous comment, I find problematic his defense of Chavez or Castro. And this support is of course a little scary when it comes to democracy into the adversity. But Melenchon program being so different (nothing really radical in his platform - especially compared to Cuba or Venezuelan situation), in a country with much more counter power than Cuba or Venezuela, with a political plateform with a more democracy as center piece, and allies strongly against anything more authoritative in the current state... Well, that is not cool, but I don't see a real risk here

-
3 - New democracy and being vague

Most politician are often "vague". This includes la France Insoumise. Still tehy tend to produce a lot of written stuff explaining their positions for the last presidential election for exemple. Including testing their economical scenario with the Banque de France model, or detail plan about army...
Here is one thing about the new constitution https://lafranceinsoumise.fr/2023/05/02/passer-a-la-6e-repub...

-
4. La France Insoumise

Your view of la France Insoumise can explain why you fear for democracy... But how did you came to this conclusion ??? That is surprising. I would not be able to say this about any political party in France. Do you know their are business owner, startupers, economists, rich people... supporting La France Insoumise ? I really think you don't know them enough. Know your enemy ;)

-
5- Communism
Melenchon is not communist and his polical plateform is not communist, why this quote ?
The last bare metal server that I maintained was a CentOS 7 machine (~2 years ago). Everything now is in the cloud and is currently a CentOS variant/fork/whatever in AWS Linux2. I've been in the Fedora/CentOS pipeline since around the time dirt was invented. The only other server that I've spent any time on is FreeBSD. Of course my daily driver OS X systems were based on BSD as well. I did a debian box once, but I've never used Ubuntu.

Just because it makes no sense to you does not mean it does not for lots of other people. The reasons for that are probably as varied as the users themselves.
With an implosion of a carbon fiber hull, there probably wasn't enough time to even think of his mistakes let alone the words "oh fuck".
I don't know. But it is my understanding that how high up in the sky the sun is matters a lot. Ie 5 pm sun is going to be a lot less effective than midday sun, because UV-B light has to go through more of the atmosphere.

>Does it scale up to a limit?

Yes, because sunlight only really makes a precursor to vitamin D. Ie you can't overdose on vitamin D from sunlight.
Do we know yet exactly what was the problem?
I put “focus time” after lunch to end of day to force all of the meetings into the morning. Unfortunately project managers still put time in my calendar as as a lead it’s harder to say no.

Best thing I’ve found is to keep reminding the project people that the meetings will cause deadlines to be missed. At least that puts some blame on someone other than your team. When half of the billed hours end up being meetings it becomes clear.
"Anti censorship" platforms are a cesspool, enjoy the company
Interesting, he says the theory he currently finds most plausible and has heard from other experts is that water was able to penetrate the flange connecting the titanium caps to the pressure hull.

So the hull itself may not have been the first to go. But of course that failure is intrinsically connected to the carbon fiber nature of the sub.
If anything inference will probably get worse. Typically in ML constraining your architecture (which is what you're doing when you make a deep narrow network out of a shallow wide network, or rnns or grus/lstms, or transformers out of fcnns) yields inference and training performance benefits.
Sure, your skin limits it, but I was target getting at that the amounts are so wildly different.
Because their development process before a unit test would ever run is so rigorous!
it's the ocean, could have been anything really... someone just desperately read too much into this one
This is a power of a logarithm though? Whereas you're talking about the base and its argument.
I commented the same thing in another thread. I am not arguing the base rate or whether female founders experience discrimination, I am just arguing YC's female ratio is definitely not higher than other VC's which pg hints at due to Jessica. In fact I think other VCs have something in the range of 20% IIRC(would not mind to be corrected though).
> I haven't met a capable European

Or maybe you’ve just been unable to appreciate it for the ones that didn’t promote themselves your way?

I do a really good job, but there’s no reason to make a big deal out of it because that’s what I’m hired for.
I’d say anything that users perceive as instantaneous.
Yes, I don't know what the norm is in submarines, but I don't really trust simple engineering models, and think at least 5x is what I'd want in almost any context.

I did see that DeepFlight Challenger, Steve Fossett's unused/untested carbon fiber sub which used the same basic design as Titan, was only built to a 1.5x margin of safety. Experimental tests suggested it was only safe for a one time use, and shouldn't be used for multiple dives.
The EPA is not as powerful as they should be. We should prioritize clean air over property damage from fires. Sadly the voters and both parties will get that wrong, albeit for different reasons.
Sounds better than sabblerattling with nuclear warheads.

Ukraine is still receiving weapons. Agaisnt all odds, the west has recognized they had better at least keep the war in Ukraine, not allow Russia to extend their frontiers.
I'd like to see it. I'm running XFCE now, I wouldn't call it slow but it's not quite as snappy as I'd like it to be.

As much as I love the show, I'd call it Star Trek's approach to OSHA.

There's always a brief window in time with any new technology where it's new enough that the suits haven't entirely gotten their hooks into it, so it's broadly made to be as effective as possible at doing what it's supposed to do. We unfortunately now live well down the enshitification curve of computing and now most everything is made not simply to be as good as possible at it's intended purpose, but rather to make the companies that make it is as much money as possible while performing it's intender purpose at whatever minimum standard will annoy users ever so slightly less than the amount it would require them to stop paying money for it.
It's about the fastest system you can get if you want open hardware. There are people willing to pay a premium for that. It's obviously not going to find a mass market at that price.

But maybe they'll make enough money to develop a lower-priced one that can reach more customers.
the Puritans agreed with you, a century or so later.
Better than being crushed like their CEO.
Do I seem like a person who has or hasn't dealt with people who spam a list of links before? Also it's not that one person did, it's that all of them did. It was state backed propaganda.

The organ "harvesting" is something that happened in chinese dominant countries. Even in taiwan, which strangely enough didn't get the same "press" coverage. But I'm guessing you already knew that.

Whatever happened to the "death camps" in china with millions of muslims? Did that turn out to be fake as well? We had satelite images and graphic testimony and congress even pass a bill declaring it a genocide. And then magically radio silence. That's exactly what happened back then too.

But then again, we send warships along the chinese coast and accuse them of threatening us.
The Shuttle was driven by USAF "military" needs that didn't matter. Gliding and maneuvering served zero mission purpose. It should've reduced horizontal delta v to zero like a Falcon engine and had an ablation shield. Like many military-involved projects, it was also far too expensive, complex, and fragile. These fundamentals made the Shuttle unnecessarily risky that proved out in its lifecycle.
Turn off composition (if Xfce allows you to, like KDE does). Then drag a window around your screen on a high framerate monitor and feel the difference.
I mean, sure, for certain x86 things... like 20 years ago, but IIRC their host controllers were not though, and that isn't but a fraction of all CPUs.

Think about how many billions of devices there are where you can't get simple a pinout diagram for the main CPU. I would argue only a tiny, TINY, percentage of any Linux devices actually have CPUs/SOCs/SOMs with sufficient documentation to look at from a hardware design standpoint.
"Criminal"? "Justice"? Prigozhin is using those words? I'd expect he would want everyone to forget that such words existed.
The reasons why (afaik) people use SuSE are YaST, localisation and accessibility.

Almost like some kind of... web OS?

To think we almost had it, but Palm made some bad decisions back in 2009 and the dream of app-as-browser + Node.JS + consistent application styling and syscalls through a provided JS framework (Enyo) is, sadly, probably dead forever.
> The sticking point for me is the lack of persistent messages, something the devs strangely think is a privacy plus

This is my complaint about Discord and such as well, though. People seem to love platforms where what you typed last week is never looked at again and isn't searchable/accessible from a regular web search. HN is also moving more and more in that direction: threads always dropped off very fast (matter of up to 3 days if you have a top-of-the-year popular thread) but then, at some point, editing was restricted to only be 2 hours (countless times I run into not being able to add a correction or addition, so posts are now less good/useful in posterity), and last week I noticed I couldn't reply to someone anymore after 18 days (they had replied to me, I had finally gotten around to checking their suggestion, and wanted to reply back ... alas).
Might be good for mental health I suppose.
What would you consider a severe flaw? I see severe flaws even in very popular games :)
I am not sure I follow. Do you have an example?

I could say "Everyone is a consumer on $big_tech_social_media_site" and that is simply not true. "Everything" is not streamlined. Standards certainly help. There are a lot of problems that are solved, thankfully. There are other areas to explore and maybe even work on. I have lots of questions. I learn new things everyday. Today I learned the term overton window perhaps apt for this conversation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
On the Titan? I thought this particular sub had never been down that far.

The virtue of testing, certification, and solid design goes well beyond "signalling", when an expert in the field raises their concern.

"virtue signaling" is a mean-nothing phrase
Second "creature". I don't see it being different from humans in this regard.
I once encountered a small C++ shared library that made heavy use of templates. One of the symbols was larger than the code section of the library.
My guess for this is that the average user doesn't parse text on pages as fast as more tech-savvy users. That delay is perfectly timed for the average user to grab their attention.

For me, I use google so often that I can rapidly parse information without really needing to read much of the text, the link just sort of 'looks' right. I've observed my wife reading google results and she is much slower and more methodical, probably because she doesn't google things 20+ times a day every day like I do.

That's how I end up misclicking, because i'm not working at the speed of a normal googler.

It is really annoying though, there are some css tweaks you can make using browser extensions to make that disappear if you're so inclined.
Right? Collective punishment for crimes is always the right choice. Nobody had any problem with the Japanese internment, for example. All Americans should be jailed along with Trump for his crimes. We let it happen.
:No. Because it costs money to run these organizations. They are either funded by the government (which means taxes, which means us), membership fees or other activities. Last I checked everyone needs to feed themselves or their family. This "it's because it's capitalism" thing gets old pretty quickly.

What's the difference? What you described is capitalism.
> So any N-layer network with the relu _/ activation function

The paper talks only about models with additive operations among activations. It doesn't say anything about more complex networks like transformers.

In transformers there are multiplicative interactions between activations inside the attention matrix, it is unclear if they can be approximated with just a 3 layer ReLU network, or if such conversion would be practical at all.
Well that might be true

That's what happens when the only people on anti-censorship platforms are the people who get censored on every other platform.
And even that depends very much on the type of interaction. E.g. Tactile Feedback vs visual.
Arch is awesome - if you like tinkering with your system. I don't know if you could call it stable enough to run servers reliably. I am aware some masochists do just that, however. It's wonderful to have a lot of choices within the linux community.
> ESA is doing really cool stuff, but they're doing a bad job of convincing people that they're doing cool stuff.

Why does it matter?

They don't need to convince you that they're doing "cool stuff", they need to convince the people who want to put up satellites that they're going to offer cheap cost-competitive launch vehicles.
Amazing project! Could i ask you a question? Did you created a search engine with a indexer? What algorithm are you using to index the strings?
Said shoehorning seems very relevant.
On the balance, I much prefer having the stream to not having it. I can always turn the sound/commentary off.
How many posts about hydrogen being the best and only hope have you made here?

I can’t recall it all now, but my understanding was that if you take the entire chain from production to storage to consumption of hydrogen, it’s pretty much an unworkable engineering problem. “The closest thing to a vacuum, other than a vacuum” was one memorable quote. Happy to be shown to be wrong.
lmao of course it was due to costs. greed killed those people.
No, its affecting everyone. Productivity has dropped all over.
