You can either exert editorial control to push content that fits your rhetorical needs at the cost of engagement (because by definition you're not pushing the most engaging content) or you can push the content that is the most naturally engaging. You can't have both.

And boy do I have bad news about the places you would typically turn to be more informed about current events -- the news -- and how what you see is also designed to promote engagement.

Props to you for deciding to accommodate rather than take the fire and forget method of solving problems like some commenters have callously suggested.

For a start google "working with aspies" or "working with mild autism adults". It'll give you a list of suggestions and expectation setting.

When you're ready, get into a meeting with him. Present the problems and how that's bothering you, get him to see your side or the side of the offended parties. Then suggest changes to his communication style, and set a goal for him.

Best of luck!
I believe AlphaZero and MuZero would fit that definition.

Other than a system allowing play, they become superhuman purely through self play.

A benchmark for any AGI system is how fast it can learn from sparse unlabeled data and generalize.

India was the first country to ban TikTok iirc. Their situation was bad though
As the article says, it’s likely that the devs who previously would test their apps prior to release had higher quality apps just because they were experienced and skilled devs, not because of an arbitrary number of people testing the app for an arbitrary length of time.

If Google would want to get rid of shovelware on the Play Store, they know what to do - (edit: better) automated + human reviews, like Apple. That would be what would nip shovelware in the bud.

But they’re just trying to outsource the cost of that. It feels like one of those Google initiatives that was started by someone who cared, then got watered down to the point of counter-productivity by MBA logic.
I realize my post was overlong, but I assure you it explicitly agrees with what you just typed.

I need to be more concise.
“reverting back to prudeness” is a matter of perspective. We’re a species that has domesticated itself for its collective good. Part of making progress towards that was changing our approach to mating from a free-for-all to something strictly regulated by culture. It could be said that we’ve been reverting back to our pre-civilisation free-for-all for the last 60+ years.

I will add for the U.S. based satellites the disc images are from the NOAA GOES sats which are in a Geosynchronous orbit but there is also the NOAA-15/18/19 which are lower in a Sun-synchronous orbit and you get a strip as it passes over.
> ATM paradox[1]

It's only a paradox because people are comparing absolute numbers after a period of time ignoring things like population growth. The average number of tellers per branch went down.

There's also more horses in the us now than in the 1800s (~5mn vs 9mn now) even though cars have completely replaced them as a form of transport.
Does this post rub anyone else the wrong way? Autistic people are people, how best to manage them is going to differ on the individual person. Every person has unique strengths and flaws, there is no one size fits all approach that is going to work. To treat every autistic person the same is dehumanizing and obviously not going to be effective.

Like, could you imagine if instead of autism this post was say about woman - if someone said they had a female report giving them trouble, with no specifics, and then asked for advice on how to manage women in general - i think people would think that is rediculous.
>>I've yet to find a newer laptop keyboard that's comfortable to type on.

FWIW, the anniversary t25 has the good keyboard. It was expensive though not outrageous, so after talking it through with my wife, I bought it when it came out. It's still my primary driver, I use it 8++hrs a day for 6 years running(with no sign of stopping), so it mostly worked out. It's essentially a t470 so easy to maintain (external battery, SD card, and one screw for ram or ssd upgrade).

Otherwise, everything after the '30 series had the modern random ridiculous layout. We had a standard for decades, then apple decided each laptop will have unique layout and we all blindly followed - muscle memory is for wussies who don't stare at their keyboard to type! Rant rant grouch grouch :)
I remember disabling email notifications for every email type as they became annoying at a point and anyways I could directly use the website and I didn't want to clutter my inbox. But guess what, the emails kept coming even now but these were some special kinds of emails which had no importance if at all.
The skill under test is for that part is “can solve ambiguous problems”, and what you want to see is that the candidate is able to recognize that a problem is ambiguous.

I think the hard part is recognizing that a problem is ambiguous. Telling someone that a problem is ambiguous kind of defeats the point. IMO, it’s not about reading someone’s mind, but recognizing that there are multiple interpretations to what somebody has SAID. That seems less like a mind-reading technique and more like, you know, a communication skill.

I have gotten lots of ambiguous problems during my career, it seems only fair to have them appear during an interview.

Musk has done good for the environment, more than what people give him credit for. At least if you consider moving people to electric cars and reusable rockets "good for environment" but I'm sure haters will find reasons to deny him even that.
Permissions I've read side-loaders insisting are crucial to them:

- permission to ignore my subscription intents

- permission to bypass my private relay prefs

- permission to share my PII and purchase profile to third parties

- permission to share my browsing with adtech

- permission to dynamically load unvetted code

- permission to bully the user into letting the app out of the sandbox model

- permission to bully users into granting elevated privs

There are any number of permissions devs think side-loading will give them, and any number of these actively misused by app devs today on MacOS side. A majority of the side-loading table thumpers build business models on the user as the product, the user's data as the thing of value. These firms are not on the user's side.

Of course not you, gentle reader. You only want side-loading for good. The government only wants encryption backdoors for the children. If we think back and side doors weaken security posture or tempt legislatures, we should maintain that stance.

Instead of building holes we pinky swear are only for the good guys, imagine there were no holes.

Yeah I was thinking about what it could do, but I don't get it. The point of custom elements is to define a class in JavaScript that does something. Custom elements are just a part of web components tho, and you can use shadow DOM, more JS, and templating with slots.

I guess user-avatar could define a template that includes styles and slots to turn the image into a round image and maybe add some caption and link to it. But that would still require JS to print the template.content.

This is bizarre. There's a hilarious contrast between the stated requirements for their laptop:

>a) could run Logic Pro (the finest music-editing software available to humanity), b) had a high-resolution screen for my lousy eyesight, and c) had a 1-terabyte hard drive.

And so then the article extols the virtues of buying a laptop that can't run Logic Pro, has a "fuzzily low-rez, which isn’t great for me, given my lousy eyesight" screen and was upgraded to only a 512GB SSD. What?

Great job. You sure nailed those requirements.

Yes, the 2016-2019 Intel Macbook Pros were terrible. I'm with you there. But you could have had a 2012-2015 Retina Macbook Pro, which would have run Logic Pro, all have remarkable high resolution screens, and can be outfitted with multi-TB drives with a little elbow grease. And were fairly indestructable!

... and then you won't want one of those if you have a 16GB Apple Silicon Mac.
Only for new accounts

> "Without providing an exact timeframe, Google says that new developers with individual accounts (as opposed to new Organization accounts) will be required to test apps with 20 people or more for 2 weeks or longer before publishing to production"

To nitpick: Hope they're never used again.

I'd also argue that all of the states that have nuclear weapons have historically used them as a bargaining chip or trump card. Employing them, on the other hand..

Avoid verbal communication. Use email always. This gives them time to regulate their response and something to look back and be embarassed about when they are in better shape mentally.

If you have to communicate verbally, any topic can become contentious. When that happens, say something positive and revisit it later.

When a toddler hits you the best way to react is vocal and exaggerated hurt. Same principle. They will have extraordinary empathy if they see it that way.

Ask them how they are doing often and offer to help. Be on their team.

Praise often.
I watched the first launch from the southern tip of Isla Blanca Park on South Padre Island and recommend that (I stood on the jetty). I also had recently watched 2 falcon launches in Florida and Starship is incredibly more powerful and awe-inspiring to witness.

Plan to get to the park entrance at least 30 mins early because it takes time to walk through to the southern end, and there will likely be a large crowd.

Stayed at Isla Grand Hotel and there were a bunch of other people hanging out the night before, have fun!

Plastic makes such a difference. I can, and do, keep using Thinkpads that have been dropped, even when they get cracked. Because who cares? But a bent MacBook Pro is often ruined.
From the official press release,

> ... developers with newly created personal Play Console accounts will soon be required to test their apps with at least 20 people for a minimum of two weeks before applying for access to production.

Does this mean that a developer has to recruit 20 users through a special workflow, or the users will simply see that they are 'testers' for a new app?
Or JIRA, which is particularly inexcusable.

My username at a large org is my first name. In any situation where someone wants to link to me or mention me, typing my username brings up a list of every person at the org with my name, alphabetically. My last name inevitably sorts me down toward the bottom.

You would think that an exact literal username match would have priority, but no. Typing any prefix of my name similarly sorts everyone else before me too.

Couldn't you program the sampler to not output certain token sequences?
You do you. I love the idea that in the future, thousands of people might descend from me. If they don't know my name - who cares? It's not about me, it's about them!
as far as i can tell the launch license hasn't been issued. Is 11/17 only the current NET date? It's moved a couple times now. I saw this story and thought the launch license has been issued but I don't believe it has.
And also much cheaper, which I think is one of the main problems. If less knowledge is needed to solve these problems, then you should pay less for them. The article makes a comparison with chess, which seems absurd to me, because, although there are more people playing chess than ever before, this is due, in my opinion, to the fact that the goal continues to be to defeat another human playing, so even though it is impossible to beat a machine at the game, it does not affect the gameplay with other humans. On the other hand, coding is a job for many, what sense would it make to pay, or pay the same to a human, if a program can produce higher quality code?

I cannot imagine any sane person coming up with this as a solution to any problem other than "it is too easy as an indie developer to make an app, solve a problem people have, and make it big in the world". Seriously whose ass did this idea get pulled from, and how can this be justified?
I don’t think HN is anti-cop. They’re anti police state, which doesn’t have to mean the same thing. I like cops busting robbers, car thieves, etc. I don’t like them harassing a brown kid for being brown, or armoring up like they’re invading Baghdad when they’re serving a search warrant for a misdemeanor.

We have real, system problems with American police forces today. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have police. We should have better trained, properly supervised police forces.
Neruatypical manager here. First of all, thank you for asking and caring. Though some will see it as singling out or treating them as special needs, it's great that you're showing empathy and being humble that you don't know.

As for the answer, it depends on the person. They might have unique idiosyncrasies, much like any other team member. They are likely to be something you're not familiar with, and they might not be comfortable or able to articulate easily. That's fine.

I recommend you keep things professional and clear. Ensure the goals are clear. That expectations are communicated. And that you let them do their thing and be supportive where needed.

Again, much like you would for anyone else. However, you might find that as a team member they might have different skills than others. Less focus on social activities or chit chat, dislike (or inversely, love) for predictable repetitive tasks, maybe less of a tendency to raise problems (or inversely, being very direct about it).

Get to know ow them, find ways to support them in supporting the company.

That's absolutely evidence of the opposite. If china thought they could use the app's algorithms to promote national unity, they would do that. They have their own exclusive app.

China thinks its effective at wasting time. Children also aren't allowed to play video games monday through friday, and are limited to 1 hour per day otherwise- a law which existed before douyin limits: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58384457

The country that is obsessive about its children and their productivity, the country famous for kids competing in chess and abacus and piano... that country is just banning douyin because it's a time waster.

I can draw a } that it will recognize, but it takes special effort. A natural } that no human would have difficulty with tends to be "recognized" as a ] instead. Even when there is a VERY prominent center point protruding from the shape.

I also have trouble with the registered "arrow" shape - if you overshoot the point when you're doing the return from the top half of the arrowhead, you'll get recognized as a random non-arrow shape.

The "x" does not match the way I would naturally write an x, and it really highlights the fact that many common shapes are not drawn in a single stroke. (Also a problem for the arrow, as well as the "delete", which is clearly supposed to be visually identical to "x". It will be a problem for a large number of important characters that don't exist in the demo, such as A, t, and +.)

Between that and the fact that it has so much trouble recognizing }, which is visually distinctive and is naturally drawn in a single stroke, this doesn't seem like an algorithm you'd want to let users interact with.

Adding a single example of a } as drawn by me more or less removed that recognition problem. It introduced a symmetric problem where obviously squared-off ] was recognized as }. Adding the perfectly squared ] as an example of "right square bracket" reintroduced the inability to recognize very obvious }. I suspect this is not a solvable problem without switching to a more effective algorithm.
Fungal mycelial networks can form an underground network capable of transmitting electricity from plant to plant.

She is now more of the opinion that anti-Asian hate is primarily perpetuated by African Americans, which seems to be a fringe opinion in left-leaning circles. I don't know if it's true overall: she says it's due to seeing a lot of videos of Asians being harassed by African Americans and almost none of harassment by any other group.
+1 to this. got a 2012 MacBook Pro as a gift for middle school, upgraded to a 1tb drive and 8gb ram in high school, again upgraded to an ssd and 16gb ram after starting college in 2019. Kept using it until last year when I got a 16" M1. I still occasionally use it for Windows shenanigans, best gift ever.

Yeah, probably. I just moved from Ruby to Python and I'm not exactly loving Python. But, I'm quite sure it's just that I'm not used to Python yet.

I think one thing is true -- Ruby gives you lots of different ways to do things. And it can be really terse sometimes, if you want it to be. Some Ruby devs IMO should learn to favor readability over terseness.

Overall though, Ruby is my favorite language and IMO can be very beautiful. I don't think anybody would call Python beautiful. (Lots of great things about it though, nice language and ecosystem... no hate)

You can do all of these by just opening a window.

You're right, I don't have to drive anywhere, I can stay indoors and get all that by opening a window.
Infuriating. Can we not get public research universities to fund this research???
Your wording is a bit confusing I think. Algorithms are not physical as far as I'm aware. Since (pure) algorithms and formulas are different ways to express mathematics, my impression was also that they were not patentable as such. Maybe you meant something slightly different?

Also, do you have sources for the statement "virtually no R&D is done in open source"?
Huh. The first video causes my Framework 13 AMD running Firefox on Windows to reset.

Charlie Stross has plenty of good books about great-vast-AI-in-the-sky cult worshipers. So far though the only created sci-fi being that's had the promise of meaningful helpful answers- as far I can tell - is the Earth itself, in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Every ounce of my being finds this generally offensive, bullshit, authoritarian, and gross. People get better not by being downstream of semi-divine magic intelligence in the sky. People get better in an Douglas Engelbart-ian augmentation of intellect. We have to make people smarter. And that doesn't happen from on-high hyper-competent synthesizer-and-regurgitator machines (this magic intelligence in the sky). That happens by having man and machine more directly & better commune, by making mankind more powerful across the noosphere.

These visions of AI as hyperpowered beings are such the toxic vicious nasty end of Ursala Franklin's Technological Society, where external forces have control & power over us. I hope we can find holistic ends, where people again become drivers, are the ones ascendant.

Reading that made me happy I'm not an IC anymore.

Don't get me wrong - it's a totally fair question, frankly one I would have been happy to receive when I was interviewing for those roles.

I'm also a fan of whiteboarding coding interviews in general as a way of evaluating talent so no objections there.

There were just something about this specific question that just struck me as boring, souless, like who cares? I think my objection might be that it too closely resembles a menial task I might actually be given - something that I hope to God the upcoming LLM advances automates away.
