> Where does big tech get fined for privacy violations? EU.

Every revolution yields extremely positive results at the beginning, during the phase where they seize a lot of private property and redistribute it. Then when it comes to actually producing goods, it may take 80 years for a tyrannical regime to fall down.

The EU, of course, has a few positive trophies. Otherwise, people would notice. Likewise, when it tries to seduce a new country, it pours money into it. Look at Scotland! Every road and building and school seems to be a gift of the EU! Cue the “I like the EU because EU gave us everything!”

Someone else is paying. It’s just a loan - The EU doesn’t “work” for you, doesn’t “pay” for you, it just gives you things it took elsewhere. And while those fines to M$ make me happy, well, I’ve paid a few billions every year to set up the EU, and those fines barely cover the working expenses of MPs, I’m paying for those MPs to work for me. And all they give us is a requirement to open our borders.

The cycle is complete when the “new voters” vote for the EU because it gave them everything.
If I understand this right it is financed by Germany but useable for all in the EU.

How did you get in without a coding interview? How long was your tenure there, and why were you paid so little compared to new grads? I have a lot of questions sorry.
It's really not complicated, lots of people's attention consuming content, and lots of people's time producing content is focused on major platforms that censor for political reasons, this is sub optimal.

Yes, the internet still exits and you can use it, I am aware of that.
My point was specifically pointing to the worst out of the large cities doesn't really prove a point about a state. It is possible that San Antonio is just doing something wrong on a city level and it has nothing to do with Texas. You need to look at a larger picture to figure out if Texas is doing something wrong. Huron having high poverty doesn't show California is doing something wrong any more than San Antonio shows Texas is doing something wrong.

Texas does have higher poverty as a whole than California so there is a possibility that Texas is doing something wrong. All I am saying is selectively choosing a city to prove a point doesn't actually prove the point about the whole state.
you didn't understand my point

I still don't. You said something that wasn't true in any way, so I'm still not sure what the point is. Your list doesn't seem to make any sense or have any connection to what you're saying either.

Im talking about physical limitations of film, vs digital, vs human perception and the trade offs of budget, crew, and equipment.

If you say so, but what your comment actually said was that no one has shot 24fps in 20 years, which is nonsense.

Then you said something about 18k not being impressive because someone could shoot at 8k and scale it up, but even that wasn't very clear.
There are professions other than software development
That's why I don't like quota-based policies, but never firing underperformers also has its own significant problems, so finding the right balance is important.

Neither pin is a good place to be.
I agree with this. I’d go further and say it’s a visibility issue. Non-tech folks don’t know that the stuff is out of date, vulnerable, no longer supported. They don’t know how much debt they have borrowed. So having leadership know the costs, the cogs, the debts, and the projections is vital.
They do work. Just not the work you want them to do.
I think it makes sense but I also what I said before so if these really can't be compatible then I'm still confused, what I believe is that non superposing states should be a subset of any superposed state with its corresponding computational basis state, something like:

|Simulated state |Computational basis state that allows classical simulation|

|Non entangled superposed state |product/stabilizer/fermionic state|

|Entangled superposed state |stabilizer/fermionic state|

|Magic superposed state |fermionic state|

So as I see it non superposing states are a special case of any classically simulable superposed state so they can always be classically simulated.
Let’s for a moment accept this as fact. Now consider you have a 60fps screen and 60fps natural vision. The periodicity of video frame updates and “vision frames” are not in any way synchronized. Meaning the image appears less “smooth” than if you had a higher refresh screen.

Lastly, have you ever tried a 144hz and 60hz display side by side? The difference is very obvious.

I hold no cryptocurrency and am generally skeptical of its value. My experience is limited to my '14 senior research project about designing a proof-of-bandwidth altcoin, where I quickly resized the only way for it to have value was for unrelated traders to irrationally trade it with each other based on speculation.

But during that year I met and spoke to a lot of people in the ecosystem and I never heard of nor met SBF. But he was an econ major and approached crypto from the perspective of a trader, so that mostly explains it.
> Reads and writes do not always happen in the order that you have written them in your code, and this can lead to very confusing problems. In many multi-threaded algorithms, a thread writes some data and then writes to a flag that tells other threads that the data is ready. This is known as a write-release. If the writes are reordered, other threads may see that the flag is set before they can see the written data.

> Reordering of reads and writes can be done both by the compiler and by the processor. Compilers and processors have done this reordering for years, but on single-processor machines it was less of an issue.

Yeah, it was CryEngine 3.6. CryEngine 5 came after the Amazon fork with a whole new editor, a VR focus and a bunch of other things.
> Perhaps not applicable to NYC, but isnt it kind of troubling that people who cant afford a luxury vehicle (55-100k) could be put in a position where they have to spend more money (gas) to go fill up out of their way, taxed for being poor, or shut up and take public transit?

Base electric vehicles like the Fiat 500e can be had for ~35k [1], if all you're interested in is commuting without getting wet choose a Twizy for ~10k [2], and if you're fine with whatever and just need something cheap, get a motorcycle for ~5k.

It's not that the other people have incomplete knowledge, it is that they disregard it.
From one introvert to another - you can and should still make friends. Sometimes it’s more work for us than it is for others, but that doesn’t mean the work isn’t worth doing.
It is difficult to give an accurate answer to these types of questions, but if I can recommend something, it is to focus on what YOU would have liked if you were in the position of the people you are going to mentor. There is a concept by the founders of airbnb that is, generate a 7 star experience, focus on not only making it fantastic, but that after your help you have literally changed their lives.
I can kind of get Wikipedia's stance here. They're really not supposed to be litigators of "what actually happened," which may not be knowable. They have defined rules for what counts as an authoritative source and nonfiction books that are generally taken seriously are in that set. So if a book says it, it's good enough to be on a Wikipedia page.

Does that means it's true? I highly doubt it. I wasn't alive in the 60s, but I've known a lot of Marines in my life. I was in the Army myself. I've known people who were Marines in Vietnam. I've never known anyone who ever operated a rifle who would interpret a claim this way or belief a self-cleaning rifle was a possible thing.

But unfortunately, even if you are personally an expert, Wikipedia doesn't let you come in and tell a page it's wrong. You have to publish your knowledge in an authoritative archival source and then it can be cited. I get that it can be frustrating as a subject-matter expert, but I don't know what better sourcing and citation rules an encyclopedia can have. They don't internally litigate the validity of a claim. They define what outside sources count as citable and then trust those sources.

Hell, I experiened a fairly stupid version of this a few months ago. I edited the page for Slayer's Reign in Blood in the section for pop culture references, adding a mention that Angel of Death was used in the Leftovers when Nora pays a prostitute to shoot her and uses the song to cover the gunshot sound. I linked to an episode summary on another wiki and that got deleted because apparently Wikipedia doesn't allow other wikis to be cited as sources. Fair enough as a general rule, though I think it doesn't make sense in this context because Wikipedia has episode summaries of television shows that don't cite sources at all. So I just removed the cite and linked to HBO's home page for the episode and that stuck, even though it doesn't have a description and you'd have to actually watch the episode to confirm I'm not lying.

But hey, whatever, rules are rules. No rules are perfect. Courts get it wrong sometimes, too.
> My point is: it is not magic. It is engineering. It is a skill that can be aquired, thought, even planned and measured.

Unfortunately in this day and age, the art of optimization is lost. Companies are willing to ship shitty code to production and increase performance by throwing more hardware at it.

I built an app for myself that I’ve been considering rolling out as a product. It’s built around SMS because I will always look at a text message but app notifications are constant and easy to ignore. But the whole idea of the product is built around not being able to ignore the thing the app tracks for you. So far in a limited release the only thing I’ve learned is that my free tier needs to be quite limited and that it’s going to cost a few bucks per month per user to run it, so I need to charge more than that. But you’re effectively paying to be texted about something specific. It’s not because you don’t want to opt into push notifications - it’s because you’re literally paying for something to cut through the noise. Im not OP but if they’ve got something similar going on, that’s a good reason to use SMS.

That said your concern is incredibly valid and it’s why SMS needs to remain somewhat expensive. Could you imagine if SMS was as cheap as email? Holy shit the spam volume.
No, New York does not require E-Verify. They proposed requiring it. They have also proposed forbidding its use: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/S1802

When you use your insurance, your rates tend to go up. When costs go up, the bank passes those on to the customer. Now you pay more for banking, or receive less interest, or get worse service, or however they cover that cost. Perhaps it doesn't effect you (an individual) directly, but they increase the cost for commercial customers and those companies pass the cost on to you.

Now, if you don't care about that kind of creeping cost increase, I have a cloud architecture to sell you.

Extended security update support by Qualcomm is very much possible if you're a big OEM, but can be quite expensive.

This article is extremely weak, pandering to engineers beset by clueless pointy-hair antics, without acknowledging that engineers can suffer from their own blind spots, regardless of whether stakeholders have the technical background to understand it or not.

The elephant in the room is this: a team can not produce good work without both competence and trust in equal measure. An immature engineer may assume a business stakeholder is dumb because they don't understand or engage on technical details, an immature business stakeholder may assume that pressure and threats can yield quality work. In both cases, the immature individuals are putting their energy into counter-productive hand-wringing.

But now here's where it gets hard: trust can't be blind and incompetence exists. The straw man analogy that content of estimates are somehow immutable and unavoidable facts like the weather demonstrates an incredible lack of agency and resourcefulness. We are talking about humans working together to solve problems and build things, we have incredible latitude on how we want to approach things. This viewpoint reeks of learned helplessness. Look at the proposed solutions:

> In these cases, discuss with your stakeholders: why the estimated effort is this much? what part of the story takes the most time? where are the biggest unknowns? In addition, discuss ways to: slice up the story and deliver it in multiple parts, validate each part early, preferably using prototypes

Do you see the assumed constraint? There is no discussion of the problem to be solved or job to be done. Often in these cases you have a non-technical person prescribing a solution that doesn't make sense. If that's the case, it can only be solved by an engineer who has communication skills and credibility to discuss a better approach to the problem. Assuming that a user story passed down to the team is somehow sacrosanct is the type of process-oriented dysfunction that tanks morale and leads to impotent teams.
I remember, I was quite surprised to see that on the front page. But I stopped reading it back then, because the first paragraph had something along the lines of "we love to run our own infra, so when the opportunity came to switch to cloud, we couldn't be more excited". I stared at the screen for about 2 minutes, and then closed the tab.

And yes, the linked article is exactly that, you are not crazy. One small thing: it's from 7 years ago.
What is this for? I understand that it creates animated tweens between two code states, but I've never seen this done, so I'm asking more about the premise that led you to build this. (Thanks!)
Find me another way to build cross platform applications with a consistent look and feel that isn’t Qt/C++. Electron sucks but it’s filling a gap left by the desktop api teams. As said, there’s others instead of electron. The post here is about building wasm pages as a PWA. So it’s something you could use for pure web applications (in go).
Bridging that gap can be difficult. I always try to include leads in business meetings, provide weekly reports on how their work is performing (do users actually like the feature that was built? Is it generating revenue for the company, etc...) I've found teams generally are excited at first, but then immediately start complaining about "more meetings," getting told "You're the PM, why are you asking me, you write the specs"

It definitely needs to be a 2-way bridge, and when both sides can and do come together, great things can happen!
And? Choosing the worst case city doesn't prove the point about an entire state. Like I said, Texas as a state does have higher poverty than California so it quite possibly has an issue. I just don't think you can pick the worst city and extrapolate the entire state from that.
Maybe. But I don't believe SBF is not on the spectrum no matter what he tells you. He strikes me as the prototypical insecure nerd, impressionable and easy to take advantage of.
It's not fine when this "magic" is being advertised as on-device.

After reading (and attempting to quickly implement the models ensembles within) both the RealFill[0] and Break-A-Scene[1] papers published from Google researchers just prior to the Pixel 8 launch I was expecting either a leap in their G3 tensor core akin to 2013 Moto X NLP+contextual awareness cores[2] (which provided better implementations of Active Display, gesture recognition, and voice recognition in loud environs than 95% of current mobile devices) or the Coral[3], the edge TPU they developed that got shockingly amazing inference performance from (though HW production handed off to ASUS in 2022--thanks to the chip shortage, the general arbitrary nature of the company, and their wholesale divestment from IoT) I expected more.

All that to say this: your assumptions of inference performance on >$1000 hardware are fundamentally flawed (the fact that you reach for the buzzy "generative" prefix suggests they're erroneously informed by twitter influencers and attempting to deploy current LLMs.)

Custom hardware can and has been developed in the past (on mobile devices) that could've been tailored to the task at hand. If they failed to meet performance, power draw, or processing time requirements, they should've reframed their pitch instead of exposing themselves to what is likely going to be yet another class action suit focusing on their hardware.

The SS card needs to be combined with a 2nd form of photo ID (or voter registration card, which I’ve always found odd since that sounds really easy to forge)

But yes, someone could forge a SS card and a photo ID. It would be up to the employer to decide whether anything looks suspicious.

Definitely not foolproof.
Gotcha. Yeah, the totals are, but it makes it very hard to compare different categories. Grr.
If I understand correctly this can be used, for instance, to watch the latest Marvel in cinema, or to buy the latest Dua Lipa record... which sounds like a colossal waste of public money.

I thought about this too several years back before privacy erosion really got noticed. If you scanned all sn's, a db could keep track of roughly where the cash was located. if you counterfeited, you'd have to use a valid sn, clone a bunch, or pick random ones. you could have a semi-accurate signal on whether to double-check a bill if it was registered in X location but appeared in Y, and if the treasury participated, it could flag a bill immediately as counterfeit. If a criminal cloned a large number of the same sn, once one is flagged as counterfeit you could catch a _lot_ more with no effort. while it would increase friction substantially for counterfeiters, the cost would be privacy.

> how are they going to do this while making sure programs are still correct? So much existing multithreaded Python code is written in an unsafe manner.

a) It isn't a language maintainers job to make sure unsafe code written by someone else in that language runs correctly.

b) The GIL doesn't prevent data races. It keeps the internal running of the interpreter sane, that's it's only job. There is a reason the threading library has a plethora of lock-classes

You really need a coherent model of physical reality in order to make much of a comment on the notion of freedom. Any such model will include laws as well as degrees of freedom. So with Sapolsky, we find a biologist who's never had a professional need to come face-to-face with the major issues within relativity theory or within quantum theory. And for those who are able to develop coherent models (e.g. string or M-theoretical), they are faced with a kind of mathematics of such infinite depth and subtlety that all you can do is surrender whatever childish Laplace-demonesque fantasies that you might once have had.

He just thinks: physics is hard and filled with technical stuff that must ultimately be "solvable." Maybe so, but if there are always an infinity of solutions, then there is obviously room for the concept of free will.

It's the exact opposite. We former J2EE developers found Go to be a safe haven. I don't know where this is coming from.
Well, we can have a long discussion about what is "better" or not, but in the end it's just a preference, and also a long-standing paradigm.

It's fine to dislikes it; everyone dislikes some features (e.g. personally I really dislike autoscroll). The thing is that it's not "unexpected" because it's been like this for >30 years, since the 80s. Nor is there anything wrong with it: it's just something you can like or dislike.

Or to put it in another way: if I wanted my Unix system to behave like Windows or macOS then I'd be using Windows or macOS.
