> your answer makes it clear that you must not have built anything yourself of substantial size or complexity.

lol

> if you worked on something for 10-15 years chances are you cannot answer some random specific question

Again, the "random specific question" we're discussing is "Tell me about a project you worked on." So, again, if you can't answer "Tell me about a project you worked on", if you're claiming to have worked on that project for 10-15 years...I suspect there's something larger at play than just an inability to communicate about one's experience.

> so that does not mean you are lying about having built the thing.

I can and do routinely answer these types of questions about my work without issue. So nope.

> my point is that assuming everyone is lying,

Is verifying that someone isn't lying the same as assuming they are? (Hint: no).

> and that is a real problem in interviewing because it means you discard top candidates.

I would guess fewer than .1% of "top candidates" fail interviews at the "Tell me about a project you worked on" stage.
Nothing a couple of jet-engined airport blowers couldn't fix once the field is steamrolled and frozen.
All it really needed was George Kennedy and Alain Delon as pilots:

(I recently watched all four Airport movies in reverse chronological order which is definitely the right way to watch them since they improve in that direction.)
Also a practicing clinician and this is such a terrible problem that goes well beyond what you’ve described

Someone comes in and has insurance “x”. “Am I in network?” I don’t know. Probably. I take those plans most of the time. I check Navinet, or provider express, or one of the many other insurance benefits verification websites because the various insurers can’t agree on one centralized platform for this.

It says you’re good and I’m in network, great! Or you checked the provider directory online and I’m listed. Most of the time we’re okay. Sometimes this is out of date though (the “computer issues” you mentioned). The only way to truly be sure is to call the insurance company and have them check their systems which I simply don’t have time to do, sorry, or submit billing. This is why I and basically every healthcare practitioner have the policy that you are ultimately responsible to verify your benefits.

So we meet and it’s fine and I collect your copay. Then I submit billing. Then we meet again weekly. Then the insurance takes four fucking months to process your intake session only to come back and say “hey wait, this actually isn’t covered because it’s technically out of network so neither are the 15 sessions that happened afterward”. Now you suddenly owe me 2-3 grand out of pocket and I either have to collect that, probably worsening your mental health by adding a signicant sudden expense, or write it off and basically say goodbye to any renumeration for the 16 hours of work I did. I will ask you to appeal of course.

This isn’t even a “rare exception” situation. It comes up like once a month and I run an independent solo outpatient practice. Low volume.

It’s a fucking nightmare. I get why your wife went to out of pocket. I don’t blame her. but then it’s the conflict of making services less accessible. My patients often have no clue how to submit for reimbursement and insurers seem to purposely make this a difficult process. It really just sucks. I tend to work with lower income populations that really rely on insurance coverage so it’s not an option to go cash only for me but I definitely understand those who do. the system we have is deeply flawed, maybe irreparably.

The only setting that alleviated this was larger settings. Major healthcare networks/hospitals, large agencies, etc. it still came up but less often and when it did there was an army of billing staff to appeal. But the downside is that imo care was inherently compromised in these settings due to demands placed on staff. There were benefits of having teams, training resources, increased supervision, etc. but all of these were outweighed by significant overhead costs and productivity demands. For perspective moving to private work allowed me to earn 35% more while working 20% less within the first year. I’m not struggling to make ends meet and I’m not constantly flirting with burnout anymore. So imo those institutions aren’t the solution unless they can make real systemic changes

As far as I'm aware, the idea of a "model year" is uniquely American (perhaps North American) - in the UK, it's not marketed at all.

Everyone can tell the age of every car [1] simply by the license plate (used to be in 1 year increments, since the early 2000s it's been in 6 month increments).

[1]: Yes, yes, before some is pedantic, imported cars don't come under this scheme, and self-assembled cars also have a unique form that mean you can't tell their age.
What happened with it? Wikipedia is very thin on the details. Did it simply not work out in mass production, or was it not considered worth it anymore as CPU and GPUs advanced?
I got my first smart phone 20 years ago.
I miss the LG V series of phones. I really liked the better DAC they had, along with the headphone jack of course.
I'm actually a hardware engineer. I disagree that such a thing is only important in Software. You can easily validate any specific idea using cycle accurate simulators. If your intership didn't have enough time then fine. I would expect you continue working on the apparently golden idea your sitting. Nowadays you have a ton of pretty good softcores to choose from to test out an idea.

If the original author of a patent didn't find it worthwhile to pursue the idea for whatever reason I have very little faith in the idea to begin with. Taken to the extreme it's like saying I can turn lead into gold, and then never actually showing you actually making money that way.

Rules only work if they exist and they are followed.

There is no evidence such a law would be created, we can not even get net neutrality.

There is not a lot of evidence this law would be followed, corruption happens all the time, especially in background type things like electronic transactions.

Electronic transactions aren't anonymous, and the US certainly doesn't need more surveillance.
Depends on your use case.

For me, the addition of satelite SOS introduced on iPhone 14 is a game changer. I do enough out of cell range activity that I carry a SPOT device.

The ability for one more device (and pricy subscription) to be eaten by my phone is fantastic.

For others it might be onboard ai capabilities.

Each incremental hardware update to an iPhone tips the utility scales for someone, and is a completely ignorable change for others. Some people don’t care a bit that the new iPhone has a 2k nit brightness, for others, that is the feature they’ve been waiting for to upgrade.

I don’t pay attention to androids much, but it is pretty rare for iPhone full number bumps not to have a hardware feature that is new.

Replication crisis occurred because nobody replicated. It wasn't that you couldn't (although I slightly overgeneralized the ease of replication I will admit).

Pretending that the tools we have aren't useful because they aren't perfect isn't valuable.

Heliocentric models were good for science even if they were wrong.

You aren't saying anything that moves the line towards a better situation just pointlessly complaining that it isn't good enough.
That is a good point.

Do keep in mind that the US did have a strong abolitionist movement as part of their culture. And still has! The Puritan heritage that's against any fun is strong with them.

Another side note: restrictions on smoking in restaurants, workplaces and other areas largely preceded shifts in culture in many jurisdictions. So legislation can predate changes in culture. However, I don't know whether that's just a coincidence, or if there's a causal effect? Also, legislation that makes desirable things inconvenient, but doesn't outright ban them, probably has a much, much lower chance of turning into gang wars. (That's a big part of why not-too-high taxation works fairly well for drugs.)

Yet another tangent: we often see drug production and distribution as part of organised crime. But economically, it is perhaps better to view the drug business as a victim of organised crime: as you can see by the legalisation of alcohol and more recently cannabis, people in the industry would much rather just do their business and satisfy customers; but organised, violent crime can become a parasite on any activity that's shut off from recourse to the police and legal system to defend themselves.

I've been working at various startups or consulting for the past 8 years, building everything from mobile apps for NBA teams, to rewriting mission critical software for natural gas conglomerates, to creating realtime healthcare systems that have a five 9's uptime requirement.

I worked full time a healthcare start up for years, on a rotating 24/7, week long, oncall shift. I've navigated serious system outages caused by both internal, and external integration issues. I've written numerous retrospectives after incidents, documenting what happened, why and how it happened, and what measure we can take to ensure it doesn't happen again. I've built integrations with various observability platforms, and created internal tools where integrations weren't an option.

In these positions I've set up CI/CD platforms, designed numerous webs systems that were fully documented using infrastructure as code tools, integrated notification and observability platforms, regularly preformed PR reviews, pushed to establish better engineer practices (automated formatting, static typing, dependency management, coding style, etc), and have lead teams of other engineers on many projects.

I'm currently consulting on a few short term contracts and am looking to take on long term employment for an interesting project.
SD Express is PCIe and much smaller, but a full sized SD card still isn’t small. Supposedly microSD Express exists but I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen it…
I definitely got ahead of myself, you are correct there is nothing to suggest that this study was done using subject data drawn in its majority or even a substantial fraction feom Japanese populations. I noted the affiliation with the Biobank Japan project and hastily assumed that this was the primary source of data for the study.

Given that this would only be interesting in the context of the unusually homogeneous in a Japanese sample, and the consequent difficulty in compensating for this with data thus sourced, my original comment is no longer meaningful. Unfortunately its no longer possible to delete it.
Yes, let’s cheer on the precedent of unelected bureaucrats exerting control over things we don’t like. That precedent will surely never come back to affect something that we do like
I disagree with this part "If I don’t know the problem domain, of course, it’s difficult in any language."

The main benefit of non-puzzle languages is incremental progress - even when I am not solving the entire problem, I am building functions and data structures which can be used to both understand the problem domain better and eventually to construct a complete solution. Sure, that might lead to an initial inefficient solution and require some rewriting, but often it's "good enough" (tm). That is why scientific Python is so successful, even though the final result is usually a patchwork of poor choices held together by duct tape.

Some languages map objectively better on that paradigm, independent of personal experience or ease of use.
Sounds like intel is mismanaged.
Mythbusters didn't get it. The whole point is for the treadmill to accelerate so it could exert a force on the wheels due to wheels' inertia. Sure that kind of acceleration is somewhat unrealistic, but ignoring the task conditions is just bad.
I upgrade once every 2-3 years on average and my quality of life is great. It’s not on principle either—I will walk into an Apple Store with my existing phone and use it side-by-side with whatever is their latest. If think the new thing improves my life I’ll buy it.

Currently I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Last year when I compared its “lesser camera” to the latest and greatest, I couldn’t tell much of a difference so I kept the old phone.

The specs they throw out are always better on paper, but practice upgrading each year will yield very little improvement in quality of life.
What is the evidence of this claim?

My wife just got to a place where her iPhone got unusable because it's running out of space - mainly having to do with her massive Messages history and photos/videos. We didn't even know until I checked, her phone is the iPhone X which was released 6 years ago and technically nothing is stopping her from using it longer except the lack of desire to prune her message history/photos/vids.

My wife is someone who's not going to suffer with a poorly functioning piece of technology nor someone who is going to work hard to optimize it or prolong its life, so the fact that her 6 year old phone works just fine is a good sign that it can, in the average case.
Funny how Google is trying to get people to be less spammy when they just turned on a new feature in gmail just added that sends an email whenever someone reacts to it with an emoji (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/gmail-unleashes-emai...).
thanks! did not use the squeeze though, will try.
I was a huge fan of the concept (time slicing LUTs). The name "Space-Time" actually made sense. Unfortunately, mapping designs to regular FPGA fabric is already hard and it apparently was too difficult for the Space-Time fabric and thus they folded.

There are a lot of open FPGA efforts around. I hope someone else gives the idea another shot.

While we are on exotic approaches, Achronix' first generation was using an asynchronous (1 GHz) fabric. I regret I didn't get a chance to play with that before the pivoted to a conventional fabric.
I’ve been tested for a similar product, these things have been around in various forms for many years now. The results were I was too hopeless a case for any real benefit.

I’m also skeptical, as a colorblind man, when the “before” and “after” photos on that website look different. So it’s already marketing hokum.

And it’s apparently still a disability that it’s 100% acceptable to laugh at, which is getting to be a rather short list.
Not everything reads from live databases. Some marketing is sent by running batch jobs against data sitting in bigquery, hadoop, etc. So even if a write to the source of truth happens at some time, a job running an hour later might not see that update. Also, you may have bulk sending tooling which throttles the rate at which messages get sent out, also slowing down responsiveness to an incoming request to unsubscribe.
My moles claim they simply couldn't get the software to work.
I love that people want to blame what happened on non-binary and trans people as if it's their fault that all these cis men are liars. I'm seeing far too many comments about blaming this on "gender ideology". Victim-blaming at its finest.
A Grafana alternative with an MIT (or similar) license.

Why is text search so related to vector search by your opinion?
Yes, you can expand the rich text information into a long sentence. We call this full-text in the paper. The issue of using "full-text" is that it's hard to edit the image interactively. Every time you change the text, you get an entirely different image.
Many of the problems here might be a good use of simple AI to call / verify and keep on top of all these providers…

It's an index, not an endorsement. This is their disclaimer:

"This disclaimer relates to PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), and Bookshelf. These three resources are scientific literature databases offered to the public by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). NLM is not a publisher, but rather collects, indexes, and archives scientific literature published by other organizations. The presence of any article, book, or document in these databases does not imply an endorsement of, or concurrence with, the contents by NLM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), or the U.S. Federal Government."

The first one is published in Science Advances which is AAAS's open access journal, and they include other open access journals so, some of it will be unsubstantiated rando junk.
From googles source:

> Enable easy unsubscription: You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to stop receiving unwanted messages from a particular email sender. It should take one click. So we’re requiring that large senders give Gmail recipients the ability to unsubscribe from commercial email in one click, and that they process unsubscription requests within two days. We’ve built these requirements on open standards so that once senders implement them, everyone who uses email benefits.

Also @dang can you update the submission to be the primary source?

> Here we go, this is the meat. So if someone wants to annoy you, they can sign up for your newsletter and hit the spam button and everyone will stop receiving all email from your site (such as signup confirmations, password resets... you're basically out of business).

Except everyone already does that and the bar is, presumably, significantly higher than one person.

> the spam button is meant for spam, not for anything they don't want to receive anymore

What you're seeing is that the spam button is meant for spam, i.e. anything they don't want to receive. Trust me, they didn't want to receive it in the first place.

If I had a dime for every crappy company who signed me up for emails without my consent because I had one interaction with their business that involved an email, and then switches their entire "newsletter" infrastructure yearly... I wonder why...

> Users do not understand the spam button is meant for spam, not for anything they don't want to receive anymore

Anymore?

I never signed up for any of the commercial email I receive. But Gmail does a good job keeping it out of my primary, so the situation is tolerable.

99.99999% of claims that I asked for an email are lies. In light of that fact, the burden is on the sender to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I asked for what they sent. If they can't prove that in a court of law, they deserve to be marked as spam.

Exactly! You get to have full control over the detailed contents you wish to generate.
An attention layer is a kind of meta neural network whose weights depend on input. If you think of each token as a neuron and the attention matrix as defining the weights, then extra tokens simply mean a wider network.
And also because "creating problems" that need to be double checked, is a much lower bar than "fraudulent"; especially if accusing someone of fraud can carry slander/libel charges.
Because you can make all sorts of games and apps with the browser now, which is very cool. In my game the scrolling is just a fast way to zoom in and out and there it is no text to scroll, so it is very appropriate.

But yes, the downside is that some people think that websites, that really just should be pages, get gamified and abused like this.
I think you should reread the original replication crisis paper, a huge proportion were simply not able to be replicated based on information in the original papers.

I agree heliocentric models were useful, but if scientists had followed the consensus methods that produced heliocentrism then we would not have gone past it. It was heterodox theorists who resisted Catholic authority who progressed science. The Vatican are not good peer-reviewers.

If you want a better solution look to Lakatos’ Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes. It is much better than the status quo of relying on peer review. It is rarely used due to inertia of the status quo, but methods like it will become essential as scientific failures mount.

I don’t think my complaints are pointless, we need to take scientific failures very seriously because they eventually become policy failures and cause all kinds of suffering.

Also, I’m not pretending that tools like peer review are useless, I’m arguing that they are useless and providing alternatives that have been developed over decades of epistemological progress.
There are also the odd ones due to the pandemic; the 2024 MY I just bought technically had almost no changes from 2023 MY but the reality is that several options that were TECHNICALLY available for the 2023 refresh weren't actually produced in any significant numbers due to supply constraints. Now in 2024 those options are actually hitting, making it almost a mini tech update.
I thought the same thing, the next crisis will be "We've run the tool over it, it's all good, no further checking required", yet it fails to detect fraud. I know, I know, it's an improvement on humans until humans don't bother verifying anything anymore and it turns out we've been accepting fraudulent papers for 10 years.
