The reality of where the pay/don't pay falls down.

If your records have been encrypted and taken, you have already taken a reputational hit to sensitive information. If you can recover your operations then you shouldn't even think about paying the ransom.

However, if your systems have been encrypted AND you can't recover them in a reasonable way AND not having your systems is catastrophic to your business continuing then this is where companies consider paying. Hopefully with a renewed understanding of how important it is to have appropriate information security controls in place.

The only way not paying ransoms will happen, is if it is made illegal or there are significant penalties as a result of doing so. Otherwise, for some businesses not paying the ransom when their systems are offline is just too risky.

"economics" doesn't mean "money", it means the allocation of resources.

You're treating this whole idea as though there's a nefarious organization deliberately managing things (which there is in some cases, but the why is unacknowledged).

But a cell in your body has an energy economy that means it adopts certain strategies based on it's constraints.

Similarly, successful religions have an economy of beliefs that they have to adopt based on constraints. Almost all religions portray an afterlife, so all religions have a problem where they need to stop people short-cutting to get there - otherwise they promptly stop existing. But then they also have followers with limited resources so they also can't preach infinite life-extension since that undermines the afterlife narrative, and is economically unfeasible for followers (particularly since you also need to collect donations to your church to keep the organizational structure running).

// Religions ability to influence behaviour works because of our lizard brain

Totally not my experience. My lizard brain doesn't want to keep the Sabbath, or spend an hour at the temple, or to donate a lot (or anything) to charity, it doesn't really want to bother raising my kids a certain way, or to be discriminant in my diet, sexual behavior, etc.

It is my higher-level self that sees the elevating function of these things and struggles to override my lizard brain for daily control. When it succeeds, it's glorious. When it fails, I am still happy to have fought.
Running without overcommit is a recipe for disaster! Modern JITs make good use of virtual memory for both security and performance reasons.

Firefox on my laptop currently consumes almost 400GiB of virtual address space, while consuming "only" 458GiB of RSS. And that's not a bug, that's simply the browser making good use of the virtual memory system to provide significant advantages to all users on systems without overcommit disabled (which I'm guessing is 99.99% of people).

The difference in response you're seeing is simply because ta1243 is reporting a Firefox bug and you're reporting user error.

EDIT: Here's some further reading on some of the ways which Chrome's JavaScript engine (V8) uses virtual memory for security: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HSap8-J3HcrZvT7-5NsbYWcj...

No it isn't the same thing. It clearly explains why these scientists believe parts of earth came from a supernova, and the steps you yourself would have to take to see the same things as them.

If you say that is the same thing as religion, then I ask you what steps do I have to take to meet God? I know how to replicate the physics steps, but nobody tells me how to replicate anything that religious people believe in. That makes them inherently different and not at all similar.

I understand what you mean, but I find that men who are able to truly humbly embrace that there's a higher power and purpose beyond their own whim and limited perception are a certain breed - and whichever framework they engage with this higher power through is a secondary choice.

EG - a devout Jew and a devout Hindu maybe very different in the practices they follow and the words they use, but they would not be very different in the kind of morality they follow, the kinds of family life they lead, etc.
The Loading Screen Game Patent Finally Expires (2015)
Why is there an 8x difference in price-per-search between Plus and Pro?

I always shy away from stuff like this because I view it as one of two things. Either I'm getting ripped off if I pay for Plus, because 8x the cost to me means your margin is huge, or I'm getting subsidized by you with the Pro version which means I can't rely on it lasting long term.

I also dislike daily limits for search. My search usage isn't uniform day-to-day. I might go most of the month without searching for anything and then do a ton of searching over 2-3 days when I'm trying to learn something. So I'll be idle most of the month and then not have enough searches on the days I actually want to use it.

I prefer the model used by a lot of pre-paid services. Let me deposit a chunk of money (ex: $20-50 minimum) and charge me per search until my money is gone. That way I'm not "losing out" if I don't use it every day and I can "burst" as high as I want when I'm trying to learn something.

If the pricing is based on a certain amount of loss (on my side) from the use-it-or-lose it model, I don't like that. I want simple, fair pricing, not a complex pricing scheme where the primary purpose is to get me to overpay for my usage.
I share your sentiments. I, too, have never needed to reinvent the wheel and implement my own list class in Python say instead of using the one from the std lib. And countless other similar cases and things.

That being said I think places do Algorthimic tests for two reasons:

Laziness
Scale

Laziness. They choose this because they can’t be bothered to come up with a puzzle from the work and make it scoped well enough to fit an interview but also challenging enough to show the interviewer the candidates skills. So instead they have you implement some algorithm you memorized.

Or they’re lazy because they’re incompetent interviewers and use these as a proxy for IQ. If that’s the case just leave. You don’t want to work there.

Then there’s scale. Google likely gets 1000 applicants or a given role. (Maybe more by a factor of 10?) How would they filter out enough candidates before you sit for an hour with an expensive engineer? They need a way to quickly filter out a ton of folks.

So that’s scale. It’s got a bit of laziness in it. But it’s primarily about managing the number of folks looking to try for a single job.

All of that said I’m just a tardigrade in a fast chasm of space trying to take on the Death Star; there’s no way the tech firms will change their hiring ways because of some logical aren’t on my side.

And who knows? Maybe you’ll get hired at Google and then go work on the next generation of kubernetes 2.0 — the point being this is a necessary evil that stands between you and many others to get paid 500k/year.

The short answer is, No.

> Do I suck at those questions because I never worked with something algorithmically hard?

You probably have done some algorithmically complicated things in your 14 year career. Of course someone has always done something _more_ complicated but whatever.

> Do I suck at them, simply because I'm not used to solving them?

Yes. LeetCode can be compared to the SAT or ACT in the United States. It's a standardized test where you can improve your score simply by knowing some tricks and how the test works.

> Are they even good evaluation tools to understand if the candidate is suitable for the work he/she is going to perform?

Absolutely not, unless the LeetCode questions are somehow directly related to their day-to-day job, which is in the small minority.

> do you think that being able to solve LeetCode/HackerRank questions (not brute forcing them, but rather understanding the underlying algorithm) help you become a better developer (rather than better at solving these types of questions), or are they, mostly, useless and it's better to build and ship software?

I think understanding the underlying algorithms can help one become a better software engineer. Mostly things about data structures focused on when to use one over the other, some efficient sorting algorithms, that sort. Not an obsession with Big O notation, questions with very specific algorithmic solutions such as "given a list of integers from 1-100, in a random order, and one is missing, how would you find the missing number", and the like.

But yes it's always best to build and ship software. That's supposed to be the point of learning these things in the first place. Shipping trumps everything else, always.
Isn't it some comfort that you can see there is something to stop or change?
> Funny thing is I actually learned basic programming _before_ I could read fluently. I remember the hardest thing about it being struggling to read the books I was learning from. Programming itself seemed pretty straightforward in comparison.

That's really interesting. How did you get introduced to programming? For example, did someone show you BASIC interpreter on a computer? (Not knowing your age, I don't know whether BASIC was popular when you learned basic programming.) What was it like to use a computer barely knowing how to read?
It depends on the charity. Autism UK provides advice and support as well as helping coordinate groups of carers, undertaking advocacy, etc. It is another one of the areas in which social care funding is lacking.

In any case, it really isn't right not to differentiate. Refusing to do so fails the people who need a voice most of all.
>I had to be very specific and write a few long and detailed prompts for the more complex parts of a the application.

This is my experience. You still have to understand programming: you're just typing it out in Natural English.
Scientists and the government do willingly lie though? And a proper science education will have you go through the math and do experiments yourself so you don't need to believe it (well, you need to believe you are not being tricked by a Cartesian demon). If you're not doing that, then yeah all you have to go on is credibility of the people doing science, and several fields have replication crises, so it makes sense to not blindly believe them.

I think you mean very different things by "control." He's talking about "control of man over man" facilitated by religion. I think that totally happens and bad when it doesn't.

You're talking about "man consciously accepting his obligation to G-d". That is very positive and in fact to chose to live this way is the highest exercise of free will.

I don't think it's predatory. I think they had it (and 700 other things) in their roadmap already. Anyone building a startup around OpenAI needs to at least consider: "is this a pretty obvious thing, already on their roadmap?".

I think you should judge SICP on what the authors' own intentions were, not on things they weren't trying to do. I didn't get the feeling that cleanness was emphasized or encouraged (any more than in any class). There are other classes that cover fundamental algorithms like sorting, SICP isn't about that.

You might find the authors own critique of SICP interesting:

Or maybe it’s depressing to you because of your vested belief in some kind of exceptionalism for humanity. We’re just big biological machines - we run on electricity and chemicals. Just because the materials might be a bit different between a human brain and an LLM, doesn’t mean that fundamentally the process of gathering, digesting, and regurgitating data works any different.

We see things, we recognize patterns, and we reproduce those patterns to the best of our abilities - that is the human creative process in a nutshell. It’s the process that lead to the creation of LLMs in the first place - why should our creation not follow the same methodology in order to create the same way we do? Why should a computer looking at a hundred pieces of art and producing something objectively similar to what it’s seen be any different than a human being doing the same thing?

Give me the citations every day of the week. The source of information matters. For example, I don't rely on any ZFS info or opinions I find online if I can't verify it came from a contributor or highly reputable person that has a lot of experience with ZFS.

If you want to show the warts of all these LLMs, ask it about ZFS if you know enough to spot the commonly parroted misinformation that plagues the internet.
