That's a neat idea. Too often miscreants face no consequences worse than being suspended for a while, with pay.

Something needs to change with Internal Affairs, also. Local police departments are often investigating themselves, with predictable results.
> but if it happens a lot then maybe you should look at your hiring and management

You as a hiring manager only have power of hiring and management. Your HR department at the behest of their management controls how much of a raise you can give your employees.

You can give them the meaningless platitudes of “we are family” for only so long.
I mean this would be good for the whole planet, if only we got stop the 10 cent army today instead of 40 years from now when they have poisoned discourse for the whole planet.
There's a handful of stories that lead me to distrust the police, and one of them was about a teenager being sexually harassed by a sheriff's deputy who kept pulling her over for no reason, and a police chief - who ran the DARE program - being a meth drug lord who was arresting his competition. Both were from downstate Missouri.

That whole region is fucked up. Did you know the Oklahoma Panhandle was a gift from Texas? The Missouri Compromise basically said no new slave states north of Tennessee and NC, so Texas chopped the top of their territory off and gave it to Oklahoma, which was already about 34 miles to far north.
It was a common position among European and American communists that the Stalinist turn was a grave error that communists should strongly oppose, and that the USSR was not heading towards achieving communism (remember, not even China today calls itself communist, they have a communist party working towards that goal). For most western communists, it was a question of when not whether you had your "Kronstadt moment".

Likewise, I wouldn't put every excess of a capitalist state on the head of someone who calls themself a capitalist. Should they be held a priori individually responsible for the late Victorian famines in India and Ireland? The various coups and dictatorships in the Middle East, Central and South America? The sanction regimes whose explicit goal is "to bring about hunger" because it violates the anti-sovereignty "sphere of influence" Monroe Doctrine?
I don't think it's subtle at all. Pick existing popular technologies / frameworks. If you like to gamble a bit, pick those that you see growing quickly. Invest time in learning new stuff (ideally, on an employer's dime) throughout your career.

I'd guess it's valuation. He raised once at $1M (F&F probably). Then raised. Then some time post-raise low 7-figs in revenue => $3-4M, and $10M in the bank. Raised $20M at $100M perhaps? Seems reasonable, 25x-30x revenue.

It makes sense. If he got there quick, his product was working, and it had a chance at gold. Ultimately, lots of ways for startup to fail and failing-to-scale is one of them.

It is to some degree, isn't it? People don't personally replicate every study they cite and build off, they cite and build off studies that they believe to be trustworthy, part of which is determined by opinions of peers in the field (even if there's not a clear consensus one way or the other).
My darker friends often caught hell from associating with a 'white boy' like me. The racism problem is bad on the other side too and many people discount this, but it may be a bigger problem than the obverse for culture and progress.
I'm not a hotshot developer, but I'd guess a lot of recent languages (e.g. golang) are more structured around how to keep things simple (not necessarily easy) and uniform to where there aren't many surprises for new developers and the company can more or less turn coding into something more like an assembly line (to use an overly simplistic metaphor).

Contrast that with languages like Lisp with crazy amounts of flexibility that really cater to small teams of rockstar developers (to use another overly simplistic metaphor) and you can see the problem. Most companies want the former and not the latter.
> Climate change can hardly be called a science by the way. To be a science you need to make falsifiable claims.

It certainly does.

- The increase in global average temperatures is correlated to water vapor
- The increase in global average temperatures is correlated to methane
- The increase in global average temperatures is correlated to CO2

Another example:
- "there has been an increase in global average temperature"

These are all falsifiable assertions and have been given due attention. I would be really skeptical of a perspective that claims climate change makes no falsifiable claims.

> Without the ability to experiment, all you are doing is fitting some gigantic models to some historical data, and we all know how bad this can go.

Fitting a gigantic model to historical data is a form of experimentation. A hypothesis is in some ways the act of creating a model to fit data and then to use that model as a tool for predictions. Fitting a gigantic model to historical data and seeing how it goes is exactly an experiment!
Aren't they mostly billionaires? What was the bad idea?
There should be no stigma for people in need taking help, but there should definitely be a stigma for wealthy people taking government support. Welfare is to help people who can’t get by one their own. Not to pad the pockets of the wealthy.

It seems you're thinking of Instagram as a photo storing/sharing app. It's not that.

If you can do it in GPU memory, do it in GPU memory.

If it takes quantization + buying a 1 TB RAM server ($4k of RAM + parts), do that in memory with the raw tensors and shed a small tear -- both for cost and the joy of the pain that you are saving yourself, your team, and everyone around you.

If you need more, then tread lightly and extremely carefully. Very few mega LLM pretraining datasets are even on this order of magnitude, though some are a few terabytes IIRC. If you are exceeding this, then your business usecase is likely specialized indeed.

Let's think about UTF-HANDS. Unicode needs 21 bits that means every code points needs two gestures plus 1 additional bit. Rotating the palm of each hand toward body/away from body allows us 2 additional bits per gesture.

Document mishandling can lead to a slap on the wrist if you let the investigators come in and take a look (Clinton, Biden), but if you refuse to give investigators access, and brazenly lie to them about the documents you still keep, then their only option is warrants and raids (Trump). Then they might indict you, but only about documents that you didn't hand back when they asked for them.

If we call every legal action against a political candidate political interference, we have two systems of justice, and all you need to do to have no consequences is to keep running for office. Then any investigations on you or your family become a witch hunt.

The mechanism to sort it out is that the data must come to light at trial, and people can make their own minds regarding whether the investigation did everything that was remotely reasonable to get cooperation or not. But then again, thanks to the US media environment that is more interested in entertaining than informing, people's opinions might have little to do with reality, thanks to their own political biases. That allows someone to, on the campaign trail, call for locking up the opposition candidate, while claiming that everything is a witch hunt when any investigation heads in their direction.

I've noticed that CEO's who forced people back to the office really regretted it after the senior engineer's and related all quit. They offered to make it remote again but by that time all of their talent left so at least two companies I know of.

There is no amount of money that would get the best and most talented to go work in an office. Productivity suffers immensely in an office as opposed to working from home.
>Yes because I know Java (hypothetically I haven’t touched Java since two years after it was introduced) I can become an efficient Android developer “in a few days”.

No, but you probably can in 6 months. Whereas if you hadn't even touched any language and UI framework before, it would have taken you a few years.

Does it have to happen "in a few days" to matter? Or the hyperbole is to argue that past experience with different languages and their concepts, and SDKs and their architecture doesn't help going forward, because each of them is some kind of unique snowflake?
> Is there any hope of becoming proficient enough at chinese to compete for these jobs when you're just starting in your late teens?

Yes.

(Classroom teaching/formal teaching is not gonna matter much -- consuming lots of Chinese content at just the right level will be much more effective.)

> I feel like one would never stand a chance against someone who was raised in a bilingual house.

Actually, you might. A lot of them are not raised with Mandarin -- or if they are, a heavily accented form of Mandarin. You can go straight to Mandarin.

You might also have another advantage. If you put in the work, you will learn how to read and write. A lot of the bilingual types raised outside of China have not put in the hours and are basically illiterate in Chinese.

And finally, your ability to communicate in Chinese -- or any foreign language -- is not just a question of fluency or having as little accent as possible. It is very much a matter of how you choose to express yourself. IQ matters a lot here. Donald Tusk (former PM of Poland, former President of the European Council) is a great As an example of someone who was able to express himself very well, despite a poor grasp of English.

If I was looking for a job, I'd say that I have no professional Android experience but I'm confident that I could hit the ground running at a senior level and mentor juniors for Android.

I mean, in this hypothetical scenario, I've decided that I want a job as an Android developer. So I would take my own time to learn Android whilst interviewing. By the time I got a job, I'm confident I'd hit the ground running.

I wouldn't try to apply for a job to lead an Android team without at least working in one first. I'm sure some people do, but I'm not that confident ;).

> Would you hire me someone who not only doesn’t know anything about Android development but doesn’t even follow the ecosystem and the current trends?

I wouldn't hire you because you don't sound like you think you could do it.

If I was interviewing someone and they said something like: "I have no experience with Android, but I know Kotlin and I'm confident I could pick it up. I did a similar thing with x,y,z" then sure.

Well, I guess that’s the problem with choosing to use words like “never” and “always” in your argument, and trying to overgeneralize, no? It makes you easily susceptible to proof by contradiction.

Why do you think hand-washing or the shape of the earth are “extreme” examples of scientific consensus? I think they’re both great here because they both had huge political debates, and scientific consensus eventually prevailed. There are many many more examples of basic scientific consensus that nobody argues and that demonstrate the claims of comment I replied to are false. Are you asking for more examples? BTW hand-washing was the opening example in the article. Doesn’t that make it absolutely fair game in this context?

> I will not call people calling for public healthcare and social safety net communists

Yet you just did. A lot of the “communists” in the Hollywood blacklist era were advocating for things exactly like this.

Plus communism isn’t even close to history’s deadliest ideology. If you’re going to tally communism’s numbers then you need to also total capitalisms.

The main & most cited work in that area is “Red Holocaust” which estimated the total for communism at ~60 million people.

But using the same criteria as that work we can easily attribute 100 million deaths to capitalism in the 20th century alone

(btw, this pales to both Christianity & Islam, who are #1 & #2 respectively)
At the point right before taking VC money, what's the safer alternative sources for cash? This is a serious question.

I prefer Go over Lisp on the cover because I prefer the explicit, low magic code of Go with all its boiler plate and using my brain power on business problems not what makes me more productive or feel better / clever while doing my work.

How much similarity do you think there is between modern Android and C# Compact framework in 2008? The last time I did any “mobile development”?
Start with 7B and refine as much as you possibly can there. Your value is going to be determined by the variable iteration_time, where your final equation involves 1/iteration_time. Any lessons learned there will effectively scale.

When you cannot get any improvements over several days/weeks of different experiments and have converged somewhat, then move up to the next model size, and do that to convergence. Then repeat this loop as you go.

Same concept as mipmapping, just with resources. How you use your resources is more important than the ones you have. I've made the vast majority of my own big discoveries with a T4 or a single A100, generally speaking, and I've done this for years.

In terms of providers, I like Lambda the best, personally, but I do a shocking amount of work in Colab Pro due to its iterative nature. I believe I've had GPU availability issues for both of them, however.
