Recently rumored: impending AMD layoffs in China, in the Radeon Technology Group.

Speculation: Maybe RTG is moving development elsewhere due to increasing US restrictions that block sending high-end GPUs and HPC accelerators to China. And/or increasing competition for expert employees, with Chinese domestic GPU chip companies that are receiving government grants. (Implies next generation Radeon may be slower to develop as new GPU software teams might have less experience. New teams might be difficult to motivate to learn intricacies of waning GCN GPU generations as well as current RDNA GPU generations, even though CDNA accelerators are similar to GCN.)
I skimmed over this so I am unsure if this was addressed in the article: what if you donate an organ to an asshole? If they're weak or sickly, there is less chance of them being an asshole. However, a recovered and healthy asshole has relatively greater chance of subjecting the world to themselves.

The above may appear to be a crude (and maybe overly harsh and pessimistic) argument against organ donation, but I struggle with encouraging altruistic because some people suck and don't deserve your kindness. My question is this: does showing kindness to someone who is incapable of it themselves only perpetuate more unkindness? I worry that it does.
For me, keeping the abstraction level consistent is really hard sometimes. Especially with infrastructure diagrams, it's sometimes hard to stop the urge to add more details at different levels.

I wonder if there's a tool that would allow me to easily zoom into a diagram, kinda like those infinite zoomquilt animations.
I bet the amount of pirating of Netflix content is up since password sharing is being clamped down on—not that Netflix cares. If an unpaid user falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound?

But I can’t help but feel that 90% of the “back to the high seas” comments on Reddit or social media discussions of streaming is just pirates justifying the piracy they were already committing.

Pirates love having some moral justification. Shit, they should just admit they prefer getting something without paying for it.

AFAIK the big problem with an electric drag racer is weight/mass. Batteries are heavier than fuel. Electric motors are fantastic at acceleration, but you have to feed them with enough amps to make that happen.

A drag racer doesn't need range, so storing a large volume of energy probably isn't the problem. But having enough batteries to supply enough amperage to get that kind of acceleration is probably adding too much weight to be competitive.

This is also the problem with battery powered aviation. The majority of the energy used in a flight is on takeoff and ascent, effectively lifting all that mass to cruising altitude.
The screening isn't just for safety, it's for biological compatibility with the recipient - a mismatched organ will not function and will be destroyed by the recipient's (even suppressed) immune system. It's worse than just failing, you damaged the recipient and you wasted an organ that could have gone to a proper match. When I received my kidney transplant I had to acknowledge a risk of contracting an undetected bloodborne illness from the (deceased) donor's history of drug usage. If the primary concern driving screening was simply safety the organ would not have been considered available. The primary concern is compatibility. Other resulting conditions can be managed afterward. The risk of me dying as a result of the aforementioned undetected bloodborne illness was some tiny fraction of a percent - The risk of me dying on extended dialysis is one hundred percent.

It sounds like you don't really understand how companies and recruitment work.

Companies are machines, and the employees are cogs. When recruiting for a new cog, they will cast a net, get a few hundred applicants, then whittle it down using their process (which probably includes a bunch of interview rounds and some dumb exercises).

They are not looking for unique snowflakes, so your thoughtful application just creates extra reading and work for them.

Of course, they are not looking for robots either, so if you have some extra abilities on top of the basics that will make you stand out, but you cannot side-step the usual process and have to jump through the basic hoops and to get that far.

The exceptions are at smaller companies / regional locations, or if you have some connections or unique and deep skills (e.g. you invented X, wrote the book on Y, etc.)

Without the pressure/context of a job interview, I find Leetcode to be immensely fun :)

However, within the context of a job interview I do unfortunately find it to be a little insulting. I think, like other commenters have mentioned, these Leetcode style questions are only to see "will you tapdance" - which is totally fine.

This kind of tracks.

If you're following niche posters nothing has massively changed, the experience there is the same was it was pre-musk.

If you're looking at the trending pages or users with very large (>1m followers) the replies are intolerably low quality. It feels as if the blue-badge-first reply sorting prioritises spam bots and inane responses, then quality replies are stuck right underneath the very least liked blue badged users.

Given the vast majority of viewers are here to either see trends or to follow very popular users, they're seeing this degraded experience most of the time. I'd decrease my usage of the site too, were I in that bucket.
>Is there a way to do lightweight incremental proof checking in a typical say Python or Javascript codebase

Running a JavaScript codebase through the Typescript compiler is a lightweight way to do incremental proof checking, albeit it can only check proofs about the soundness of the code.

> the one question that matters. Is an executable file with machine code well-defined?

While you've insisted that's somehow the one thing which matters I don't agree at all. Are programmers getting paid to produce "any executable file with machine code" ? No. Their employer wanted specific executables which do something in particular.

And there aren't "different types of undefined behavior" there's just one Undefined Behaviour. Maybe you've confused it with unspecified behaviour ?

In the integer overflow case, because that's UB (in C++) it's very common for the result to be machine code which entirely elides parts which could only happen under overflow conditions. Because overflow is UB that elision didn't change the program meaning and yet it makes the code smaller so that's a win - it didn't mean anything before in this case and it still doesn't - but of course the effect may be very surprising to someone like you.

The excuse that "We've done it for decades therefore it can't be a bad idea" shouldn't pass the laugh test. Did you notice you can't buy new lead paint any more? Asbestos pads for ironing boards? Radium dial wristwatches? "That's a bad idea, we shouldn't do that any more" is normal and the reluctance from C++ programmers in particular shows that they're badly out of touch.
> Trying to say "No, someone who's famous might be doing this to write a blog post about it, that's not okay" is an interpretation of consent that simply is too far gone to be useful.

Nobody has said this, as far as I can tell. My claim was that there were other things about his situation that might suggest to the bureaucrats in question that he was a risky donor. I don’t think Scott gave a kidney so that he could write a blog post about it.

I don’t hire, but if I was, then for finance I’d hire a guy with finance and stock exchange automation bias, who knows e.g. common pitfalls in working with exchanges. So they could avoid losing money or creating an accounting mess.

For business I’d look for a guy who dealt with bigcorp bullshit protocols and e.g. knows up front that “there’s API” may mean anything from exactly that to “we have a half-working semi-email system with rate-limited polling and no idempotency”. So they could make correct predictions and decisions.

For both I’d like to see 5-10kloc past or example project, or at least few pages of code that they assume is both practical and good enough, to get the sense of their development (not CS) skills and habits.

I have no idea what for I’d hire if they excel at leetcode. That position must probably relate to some rocket science in a low-power low-tech environment where external dependencies are forbidden by a sort of a military contract.

Not OP, but I'd expect it's so that separate residential locations can communicate directly with another, bypassing limitations imposed by the ISP, double NAT, dynamic IPs, etc. Depending on region ISPs have purposefully blocked residential users from exposing public Internet services.
I would be happy if you could settle on one version of history and maintain it for at least a century. It seems that historical narratives keep changing with each era. One version was disseminated during the Ottoman occupation, another under Austrian rule, then another during the First and Second Yugoslavia, and now, it appears we have a new version after the war. I hope this is the final one. Have you figured out whether you are Bosniaks or Bosnians? Are Serbs in Bosnia just Serbs, or has the Serbian Orthodox Church classified them differently?

By the way, regarding Bosnian kings, here's[0] the first Bosnian king, Stephen Tvrtko I, who claimed to be the heir of Serbia's Nemanjić dynasty. According to the same Wikipedia article:

> In early 1377, Tvrtko successfully plotted with the Travunians to take over Trebinje, Konavli, and Dračevica, marking his final conquests of the Serbian lands.

So, it appears that Serbs lived in that area long before Bosnia had its first king (and we're still living there - I'm from Trebinje).

The model IS also a chaotic system.

My guess is that if the model accurately represents all the realities being modeled, and if they ran the simulation enough times, they would get Otis in the model. It's very easy to get chaotic behavior out of such a model, or even simple circuitry.

At that point the question is not 'can the model do a run that produces Otis', because at that point it can and does, one run in ten thousand.

The question is, do the forecasters refuse to mention that one run of the model that produced that result. What seemed to happen this time was, not enough data or attention, and nobody ran their model enough times to produce the Otis result in the model. I don't think anyone saw it and discarded it, I think it didn't show up in anybody's runs of their models.

Odds are good that it COULD have, if the models are any good. It's just unlikely.

Everyone needs to have a list for for their hobby of useful things they will buy if cheap enough, and a budget to spend one it. Then when a deal comes they will know if they buy or not. Of course some people think nothing of dropping $150,000 on their hobby, while others only have $5 to spend. The important part is it keeps you from filling up space with good deals on things that don't actually apply or you already have one of (unless your hobby benefits from more than one)

AFAIK SQLite can scale quite a bit with WAL2, and then probably it is easy to upgrade it to Postgres. If your data model was bad from the start up, it doesn't matter if you used Postgres initially.

If you find out your data model was bad, and is a constraint to scaling, you can find it out without spending a lot on insanely scaled RDB instances.

I'm for the build one to throw away approach, and SQLite is often a good tool in the toolbelt for the initial attempt of this.

I think you can compare most collections to fashion. Some people collect based on color or fabric. Others on quality of manufacture. Or on quality of fit. Then we have brands and finally pure hysteria—something you won’t wear, but only desire to own.

This explains keb collectors and someone who owns Jimi’s actual fx pedal. The DIYer could just be an aficionado of manufacture or perfect fit.

Gleam looks really interesting. I'm surprised, for some reason I was under the impression it was more like Sorbet or Mypy with type annotations in existing code and I had no desire to check it out at all. I'm now intrigued and will probably pick it up soon!
what? it's a city building game. houses. basically boxes. a landscape mesh, trees. and some voxel traffic. without camera movement it should be infinite FPS, the scenes are ideal for all of the usual game engine standard optimizations from z-index culling to simply streaming in low-poly shit on distant houses and trees.

I don't even understand why it's not basically caching most of the rendered scene and then using it as a background to move traffic on it, and update it as the simulated Sun moves every 10 seconds or so.

I think you mean "effective".

This is beside the point of what a legal minimum wage is, orthogonal with negotiations through unions, and has nothing to do with liberalisation.

There is no reason for Sweden not to have a legal minimum wage. From an outsider's POV this really seems to be psycho-rigid stance "no our system does not need one!" when it actually does not hurt the system or negotiations through unions at all.

In a way, I think what's happening with Tesla is making noise because it's putting them on the spot. They are running around crying "but you can't do that!!" because the fact is that actually Tesla can and that's exposing the weakness of the whole system, which is actually informal and not backed by law at all.

That's not saying that Tesla won't back down and reach a deal with the unions, but they are only doing what they are entitled to do.
Both testifying and “advice of counsel” defense are very risky hail Mary strategies. Defendants shouldn’t take the stand in fraud trials. He is probably going against the advice of his lawyers because he thinks he is smarter than them.

Testifying opens SBF to cross-examination. He is so arrogant that he thinks he will ace it, but evidence points towards him fumbling it.

“advice of counsel” defense waives the right to attorney-client privilege.
I do this, too. Coding is actually a very visual endeavour for me. I can only describe it as "flow". If my code doesn't "flow", I'm not happy with it. I am baffled by my teammates who seem to have no visual awareness of their code. They might forego whitespace between the close of one function and the declaration of the next, or alternate between having one or more parameters per line in a function signature. It sticks out to me like a sore thumb, but they don't seem to care.

In general, no. React has been around for over 10 years now, and it generally remains popular and well supported. It is not going anywhere. Some sites will choose to migrate between React and Web-components based frameworks such as Lit for various reasons (technical preferences, standardizing technology stacks within an organization etc). Some sites will combine chunks of UI built with React and chunks of UI built with Web components (eg. by different teams within an organization). Others will create web applications which use Web components for style/DOM isolation at the top level, but where web components are built internally with React (which has various tooling and API advantages over WCs at the lower level).

I pay for Netflix and Prime but typically stream their content on pirate sites - because pirate sites at least try to deliver a good experience.
We maintained a c4 model of our systems built for importing and displaying on structurizr.com and tbh, it wasn't fun. You don't get the same intuitive understanding and overview from the code that you get from a diagram and there was no fast local preview. You had to upload your code to the server.
Even worse was the fact that adding a new box usually meant realigning all arrows. As a consequence the diagrams were never kept up to date on a continuous basis.

I had a better experience using plantML for sequence diagrams. The task is easier so the output of the interpreter is typically useful without manual interventions.
