Of course there's no requirement, but everyone knows that paying off a loan early can, in some circumstances[0], lower your credit score. Nobody is taking the time to look into your score and see why it was 810 last month and is 780 this month. They just use the 780 and move on, so it can absolutely affect the rate you get, and whether you get approved or not. No creditor is overriding a denial because they spent time investigating your recent score change.

[0] Usually the credit score is a measure of how likely you are to hold credit over time. It is not a "how good are you with money" or "how much money do you have" score, it is a "how likely are you to pay this back under the agreed-upon terms" score. Part of that score is the mix of different credit types, so if you pay off your final installment loan (e.g. car, house, private loan, student loan), your mix of credit types just went from N to N-1, hence a temporary, minimal drop. This is also why paying something off early can negatively affect it (in certain models, but I don't think this happens much anymore). This is always used by people to explain how credit scores are stupid and evil and idiotic and evil and stupid, but its effect is always overblown, and your score almost always rebounds within a few months.

Multi-label classification utilizes data where each example can belong to multiple (or none) of the K classes. One example of this could be an image of a face that is labeled with wearing_glasses and wearing_necklace as opposed to standard multi-class classification where each example has only one label.

Ensuring high quality labels in multi-label classification datasets is really hard, as they often contain tons of tagging errors because annotating such data requires many decisions per example.

This article explores the challenges of multi-label data quality and demonstrate how to automatically identify and rectify problems with an enterprise no-code AI data correction tool.
I almost always buy my electronics from Costco. They often tack on an extra year of warranty at no additional cost. They also make sure the vendor offers good support if the warranty is needed. My only complaint is their website sucks balls. The search is atrocious and it is hard to navigate. I would gladly give them more of the retail dollars I spend on Amazon but they make it so hard for me to do so.
It is a minimal amount of work to add to a decoder... if you start with it in your design from day one. The actual decoding is trivial, but if your front end is designed around aligned instructions, there's potentially some nontrivial work on high end cores around correct handling of goofy states like when non aligned instructions straddle cache lines or pages. Definitely doable, but it felt like Qualcomm was trying as much as possible to just change out the 'pure function which turns instruction bit patterns into micro-op bit patterns' part of the decoder.
I wouldn't say that, those are the managers responsible for executing a business strategy. If they don't show desired results you're probably right, but if they do then they'll probably be trusted to decide who to get rid of under them and still show desired results. Can they fire a whole team and replace them with an offshore team? Replace a vendor/product they use or get rid if a product/feature and still show results? If so, all a company cares about is money so they're pretty safe.
Would it feel better if they hired a talented writer to write an heartfelt eulogy about how the loss of every single one of these 700 people makes their heart bleed tears of eternal sadness? Nobody would believe it. Everybody knows what it is about - they decided they have X people employed, and they want to have X-700 people employed. That's the beginning and the end of it. If you work for a small company, you will have personal relationship with decision makers, but in a corp where there are several zeroes in staff counts, that doesn't happen. So I don't think there's a point of being insulted about it - it's always going to be "we need less workers, and today it means less you".

Unless you want to make application specific processors that's just a reality. We are gone include things like crypto even if the computer never uses any crypto.

The thing is, for some things you can get 100x improvement. Even if not used often its gone make a difference.

But for them most part, things that are part of RISC-V RVA23 profile make sense to be on a standard PC or Server.

Asked differently what isn't really necessary that is in RISC-V? One could make arguments for a simpler vector extensions for example. And a few other tiny things you can argue about.

Overall RISC-V RVA23 is a reasonable and feature complete set for a modern processor.

x86 on the other-hand has quite a few things that are not really needed if you redesigned it.
Oh there's definitely lack of understanding from my part. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

They do need to make sure the tax is higher than the land value growth otherwise it wouldn't really work. Maybe it's not that hard, but with some of the price hikes I've seen, it could happen.

Honestly, I am very curious to see how this will pan out. Hopefully there isn't a giant loophole that will backfire as it happens with so many bills.
This isn’t a great zinger. Aquinas, and Aristotles, point was that logic not being able to describe the origin of the universe is proof of God.
RISC-V does not have its origin in China. It's not a "clever conspiracy" at all.

Are Chinese companies jumping on board this existing effort to avoid sanctions? Almost certainly.

Other than that, don't care much what US congressmen think, since I'm not American, but attempting to close the door on RISC-V will not only be harmful to the broad industry (not just China) but will also be ineffective.

As a side note, I wanted to go see what code was generated (and check the quality) but I couldn't find a docs.rs or github for the rust example (did I miss it?). I ended up having to look it up on docs.rs and was surprised that there were no comments there.

I would dearly love to read the translated annotations of Townley Homer. It is incredibly exciting to think that it will probably happen in my lifetime.

But I'm expecting great things in the future.

Tell that to the current tech layoffs - while there's some middle management heads rolling there's very little "top level" layoffs.

In the current environment upper management protects their own jobs as the utmost of importance and then worst case ensures they leave with millions of dollars and favorable reviews even if they were a complete charlatan.
Oh, absolutely, but housing eats up the biggest share of most peoples' paychecks.

I think the biggest issue with AI generated art is that it allows corporate folks (marketers, etc) the ability to create exactly what they want without any involvement/pushback from artists. Often the agenda of artists is do create something nice for everyone, whereas corporate folks only want to extract as much wealth as possible. Without artists in the loop, we'll only get more and more of the corporate agenda.

Things are complicated though. So remains to be seen how this evolves, :shrug:

The source is ARIN itself, and they clearly state what he did:

>the elaborate scheme involved the use of legally registered but non-existent companies Golestan claimed were “Channel Partners” to defraud not only ARIN but also the entire Internet community. The prosecutors proved that “through this scheme, Golestan and Micfo obtained the rights to approximately 757,760 IP addresses, with a market value between $9,850,880.00 and $14,397,440.00.”

So basically, he stole tons of IPv4 address space he wasn't legally entitled to by using tons of shell companies with no purpose but to defraud ARIN.

Life expectancy in Norway: 83. Life expectancy of northern Europeans in the US: 83 for men, 85 for women [1]. Wrong to look at life expectancy at a state level since it is based on cultural/ethnic traits and not based on your passport. Same numbers for East Asia - men (85), women (88) which is similar to East Asian countries (eg. Japan @85).

> lives in a society where everyone lives safer and more equally

More equally - not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Depends on the details. Though looking at the number of talented individuals flocking to the US from the supposedly egalitarian countries, it seems US is doing something good.

Regardless of how good high bitrate MP3s can technically be, my experience with MP3s has been poor. I can't remember the last time I got one that was of good enough sound quality that it didn't annoy me to listen to it.

That's why I go with lossless encodings. They aren't a guarantee of good sound quality, but the odds of them being so are much, much higher.

Personally, I don't actually care about whether or not FLAC is widely supported across devices. My media center will do on-the-fly conversions and lets me stream to anything, and if I need a different format for some reason, I can just convert from the FLAC to whatever I need.
Basically. It’s part of the deal when you become a manager, imo.

ICs are vulnerable because they’re low-level, but they’re also more fungible, so they can be more easily transferred/find new jobs.

Management is more of a socio-political game (it’s all about the people). A huge chunk of your value is reputation, trust, and relationships - which are very much non-fungible.

So managers are vulnerable (like ICs), but non-fungible (like execs).

As they say: slow to hire, quick to fire.

>As web developer myself, I couldn’t help but smirk

Ok, buddy… I think your definition of “web developer” and mine are quite different if you can’t figure out how to add a font via CSS or a theme.

This makes the rest of this argument garbage.
To me it doesn't make sense that such models can't just have functions for things that are obviously calculatable. Not doing that adds an accuracy risk that is unacceptable, just because it scraped a page once that had the same question, but with a wrong answer.

And when you consider the amount of compute an LLM uses just to appear to add 1+1, it is utterly bizarre to do it that way.

So I'm very unimpressed by its limited mathematical prowess. There are far better ways to do it, and no reason for it not to use them.
I work on the money side, and it's still there in the Bay Area and Seattle.

I think the difference is that now as a SWE there are more options outside those two cities. NYC, Austin, and Boston taking off as startup hubs is a significant positive change, as well as the rise of Denver, DMV, and Atlanta.

Any diffusion of opportunity is a good problem to have, and doesn't impact the value of the Bay Area as a tech center. I can speak from experience that for some forward facing technologies, it's easier to get traction in the West Coast compared to Central and East.
For me, Patlabor 1 and 2 are thrillers who happen to have mechas in them. Despite the name and the prominent role of the Labor Patrol department the movie is about the police work done by the Patlabor police force or the counter-terror unit in part 2. As a thriller you know who the baddie is from early on. The conclusion is not therefore not the unveiling of the culprit as it would be in a crime movie, but the neutralization of the well-known culprit, quite often by force (why is that?) Here you see mechas battling it out against a fortress, but it could just as well be a SWAT team storming an appartment block and it would be entertaining all the same. I would place it under "color" and I agree, it can make all the difference ;)
Let’s break down the problem:

* hiring is a very high-stakes decision

* the normal interviewing process has no hope of directly measuring a candidate’s fitness for a particular position. There simply is not enough time. You’d want to evaluate the candidate over maybe a couple weeks of full time work, which, of course, a large number of candidates aren’t willing to do.

* So you have to use the limited time you have to get as much information as possible and accept that direct knowledge really just cannot be obtained.

The idea of leetcode exercises is that someone capable of the analytical problem solving skills and determination necessary to do well at those puzzles will also be capable enough to handle the harder parts of software development jobs.

It’s an imperfect approximation, but for a problem where there is no closed-form solution, it could be one of the better of a number of poor options. (That’s the idea anyway, I don’t know if it’s true.)

All that said, I think a code review is a good idea. Maybe do a couple leetcode puzzles and a code review (and a design discussion, and a “explain a recent project of yours to me” discussion, etc)

I found one of SpaceX's job postings from 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20190513175439/https://boards.gr...

The DOJ alleges that they excluded asylees and refugees in their job postings. But this doesn't exclude asylees or refugees. It says applicants have to be citizens, permanent resident, or protected individuals as defined in the law:
> To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

The referenced law is the one referenced by the DOJ that includes asylees and refugees.

This job posting that is for top-secret cleared individuals has the same language: https://web.archive.org/web/20190513175514/https://boards.gr...

WP has had so many major compromises over the years I gave up on it and adopted using Drupal as a framework. I think Drupal focuses far less on for-sale modules and themes, which makes it far less exploitable. The way themes and modules are implemented are more secure than WP as well, and there has been a pretty good community running Drupal for many years now.

A lot of people try to impose the same kind of "name brand" identity on open source software, and it just doesn't work. Underneath, it's based on the same code and libraries, and a lot of the time it's vulnerable to human agenda and human flaws.
