It's slightly more complicated in NL than just last in first out, for larger amounts like Spotify is doing here. Apart from grouping by role, there is also a requirement to ensure the distribution of workers across age groups remains as similar as possible after the reduction compared to before.

Age groups in this case are 10-year buckets, 15-25, 25-35 etc. So if a role has for example 40% of the workers in 25-35, 20% in 35-45, 20% in 45-55 and 20% in 55+ then after the reduction it still has to be as close as possible to that distribution. So it's not like all of the younger workers that are "last in" in their early 20s would be fired, it would be similar numbers across each age group, within each group it's the last hired.
I obviously cannot assess the validity of the requests you got, but as a former researcher turned product developer, I had several times to take the decision _not_ to display confidence intervals in products, and to keep them as an internal feature for quality evaluation.

Why, I hear you ask? Because, for the kind of system of models I use (detailed stochastic simulations of human behavior), there is no good definition of a confidence interval that can be computed in a reasonable amount of computing time. One can design confidence measures that can be computed without too much overhead, but they can be misleading if you do not have a very good understanding of what they represent and do not represent.

To simplify, the error bars I was able to compute were mostly a measure of precision, but I had no way to assess accuracy, which is what most people assume error bars mean. So showing the error bars would have actually given a false sense of quality, which I did not feel confident to give. So not displaying those measures was actually done as a service to the user.

Now, one might make the argument that if we had no way to assess accuracy, the type of models we used was just rubbish and not much more useful than a wild guess... Which is a much wider topic, and there are good arguments for and against this statement.
TBH - this is the first time I've heard of Deezer and looking at their website - they seem to have ripped off every feature that Spotify has, including the end of year 'wrapped'.
I mean, I once got an email with my password in plain text and it was pretty disturbing. I did a quick search and realized that that password wasn’t used in anything I cared about so, I just went about my day, still disturbed but knowing that it’s an old password.

I can’t imagine how it would feel if I didn’t use a password manager and couldn’t quickly see where was that password used instead of wreaking my brain trying to remember!
Realistically they would have a permanent contract at a company that contracts out developers.

Flexibility (at the cost of a premium) for the client company, safe for the employee.
Caught, I can't say. I have heard of users becoming alarmed and running to IT for reassurance.

I got one or two of these emails, and couldn't for the life of me guess on what sites I had used the (pretty weak) passwords.
Shoulda been more explicit in that. Kagi is super personal(ized) as well, just polar opposite intention and implications
No they aren't; not unless access to that phone (including accessing the 2FA functionality) is in turn protected by a passcode/passphrase that you "know".
> It would seem they didn't necessarily have a problem with the research, but rather with the lead researcher

This is the entire crux of the issue; do they have a problem with the lead researcher because she isn't good at her job or because she is finding things that their large donor doesn't like?

Why Infra Re-Orgs Fail: Lessons/Tradeoffs Learned from Interviews
Hey friends! I recently published a blog post discussing common infrastructure reorganization models that companies adopt and why they often fail. After interviewing dozens of engineering leaders and infrastructure teams over the past two years, I've noticed companies tend to evolve their infrastructure orgs into a few canonical forms with distinct tradeoffs.

The post covers:

- 4 primary infrastructure org models

- Reasons companies consolidate into centralized platform teams or decompose them

- Tradeoffs, failure modes and pitfalls when reorg-ing infrastructure

- A new approach porposal for leveraging cloud intelligence to empower developers

Rather than continually rearranging org boundaries and responsibilities, I argue that we need to shift the focus to tools that bring the benefits of platform orgs into infrastructure orgs.

Would love to hear what you think! What infrastructure org structures have you seen succeed or struggle?

More than 1 in 5 people living in Boston rent. Virtually everybody who is renting rents from an investor. So this stat implies that the owner-occupier share is going up and the rental share is going down, which means that it should be pushing housing prices down and rental prices up.

Actually, hosting a personal/small business SMTP server is made more diffficult by the year.

One of the biggest issues caused by the big 3 is unpublished blacklists. M$ and Goggle especially will send email from smail servers to JUNK (or something equivalent) or in the case of M$, accept the mail and then simply not deliver it to the end user at all.

Overcoming this issue is tedious and uncertain, and for some never accomplished.

I think a true general statement is that increased oligopoly in email service is detrimental to personal/small business email providers, and primarily benefitial to the major service providers.
Your team seems dope af. Just sent an email! Looking forward to learning more about what you are building and potentially exploring joining :)
Making a suggestion on how to do something better is quite a bit different than saying “this isn’t up to standard. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200”

We all see these suggestions. That’s ok, and wanted. But to say “ah, no I think it should be the other way.” [reject]

That’s what I was talking about here.
What are the main reasons products would do this?

Is it user-privacy focused? Product cost-savings focused? Something else?

The privacy discussion would be interesting. On one hand, users "own" their data in the sense that they can delete it themselves at any time, but you also allow a product (hopefully limited) access to your own storage provider.
Prevents how?
It's debatable whether such policies do what you say. Land on which you can build more and more freely is more valuable than land that you can't do anything with.
This is nothing like Saran Wrap (or Kleenex). Apple didn't invent "podcast". They have no say over it. (If they did come up with it, then they could say their Apple Premium Podcasts—which also aren't podcasts—really are podcasts. But they didn't and they can't so they're not.)
It is 'fairly' stereotypical to assume 'young' (what's the cut off?). And it is definitely stereotypical and ageist to assume this means 'over 60'.

It might also be a bit of a portmanteau with a second reference to dogpile.com which was a pre-Google "search engine" that compiled search results from multiple search engines. Back in the day you often had to separately search altavista.com, lycos.com, askjeeves.com, yahoo.com, etc. because some of them would work for your query but others would not and it was difficult to predict the performance of any particular search engine, but usually at least one of them would have the result you wanted/needed.

Dogpile was an automated way to search all of the search engines at the same time with one query.

Great question. When the "Semantic Web" hype train rolled through back in the day, I asked the same question. I got a lot of hand-wavey answers about search engine understanding semantics of markup. Also if you use <b> instead of <strong> you are a barbarian.

In theory, more information would be easier for a language model to extract meaning from though.
Wow, I really could have used this for my Ph.D. research (deep learning for obfuscated code).

I ditched Ghidra in my experiments in favor of angr early on because Ghidra did not play nicely with multiprocessing and I had a lot of data to process. Well maybe it does but it was much easier for me to achieve the same thing with angr.

Love the name! Although I feel compelled to point out that Compiler Explorer is the name of the project and Godbolt is its author's last name, but I suppose if people are to the point of using Godbolt as a verb the ship has sailed.
> Bitcoin can definitely be good complimentary part of the mix

This argument works for anything. Not even any asset, any literal thing.

There is a laundry list of better reserve assets between U.S. dollars, Euros and gold, on one hand, and Bitcoin, on the other hand. Particularly for an economy as small as El Salvador’s.

Bitcoin makes paying off gangs and cronies simpler for San Salvador. That’s the benefit of this boondoggle.

If you're going to drop secret masking, it at least needs to be optionally still available. Modern cameras can capture quite a lot od what's on today's bright, high contrast, high resolution, wide viewing angle screens from surprisingly far away.

Unless we're going to use a dark cloth on our phones as if they were an old view camera, I think secret masking still serves a purpose on phones.

Core memory needs a lot of manual wiring, and you need two demultiplexers to address anything in it. Torsion wire delay line has no demultiplexer and is much simpler; it's basically a coil of invar wire on a spacer, with some rubber dampeners, an actuator, and a sensor. And it's inherently serial, many early calculators had serial architectures built around acoustic or IC delay lines.

> at the speeds they are targeting, I think delay lines might be difficult

Speed of the torsional wave is around 3000-3500m/s depending on the alloy you use. You can make the coil about several dozen meters long before running into issues (practical torsion wire delay lines were 20 to 80m long). That would give 6 to 27ms of delay, which can keep 600 to 2700 bits in the loop at 100kHz, or 10 times more at 1MHz. The same amount of cores would be far more labor intensive to make.
I've been slowly learning Japanese, mostly with Duolingo, and that's a conclusion I've noted as well. People get hung up on the "complexity" of even hiragana and katakana, complaining about there being two many or those two scripts being duplicates.

There are fewer total hiragana and katakana than there are English digrams and trigrams in lower-case and capital letters. (Because Japanese uses fewer overall phonemes...and the characters are consistent in terms of pronunciation, unlike English.)

I'm not very far into kanji (just some basic ones like 水 or 人 that stick) but the principles are solid: they have shared stroke components (radicals) that related kanji share, much like similar collections of letters, and studying them as you study vocabulary isn't really any different than knowing what an English word looks like on sight, without "sounding it out."
Your workflow sounds like literal hell to me. I will do anything in my power to get plain text to avoid exactly the experience you are describing!
Some building code elements are absolutely critical, like the burn time required for external walls and then increasing it for shared walls. That absolutely saves lives and should be sacrosanct. Plenty of other code requirements are overly bureaucratic and do nothing but add expense, like ever decreasing maximum distance between outlets.

Zoning is the same way. Some of the rules are critical, but most are existing residents enforcing their preferences via bylaw. Ensuring adequate buffers between truly industrial uses and residential is a great use of zoning. Not being able to open low impact business like a barber shop or cafe in a residential neighbourhood makes absolutely no sense. Lot coverage percentages, parking minimums, height restrictions that don't allow gentle density, and exclusive single family zoning all need to go.

More than a century of code and zoning restriction have piled on each other over and over (with zoning often deeply rooted in racist policies). It's long past time to identify the safety critical ones and eject all the rest. It's true of zoning moreso than building code, but both could use a serious refactor.
i've been using django + htmx and vanilla js where needed. it's great!

my biggest beef with it is code organization, which will only get better with more experience. and it's a side project so it doesn't matter. i do worry about using it on a team because i could this stack getting messy if not done the right way.
Then there is no shortage of the housing. Local people are satisfied with zoning and current state. Prices are going up, everyone who has some ownership have profit.
New people, who wants to move to the city - they are screwed.

Bill Clinton made it last century, and Hillary almost made it this century. I don't think the odds are that stacked against public school attendees even now.
Exactly. It's the migration support that I find the best feature of Django, but I keep forgetting about it until I have to migrate with some other ORM.
Businesses should be more responsible in hiring not just for the good of the workers but for the company as well. Hiring 17% more than you should’ve means there was a ton of waste. Rather than seeing this as a sign of prudence like most investors might, I see this as a reflection of poor planning.
The mastodon web client seems pretty similar, qualitatively, to twitters web client. Granted cross-instance search is not a thing but in terms of the timeline and how you interact with it it's largely identical.

“Just go grab the data breach from some other location”

Do you have examples you can point to where this has happened? I would be interested in cases where this kind of approach has been taken, as my intuition is that Troy’s service wouldn’t make this significantly easier or cheaper.
I hear it's good for sports.
Just wanted to say that you're completely correct and making a very reasonable statement which is not controversial. I would love to hear about an economic system in which bribery did not exist or have influence, but I have not seen any examples of that yet, in the present day or in history.

I don't agree that bribes can't have unintended social consequences. They do have specific goals, yes. But some unintended consequences of bribery would be things like discouraging honest participants, or encouraging the most corrupt people (rather than the best, on merit) to place themselves in positions of authority, so as to get bribes. All of these are unintended in the sense that neither the person giving the bribe nor the person taking the bribe are trying to bring them about per se, they're only thinking about the immediate consequences (I get what I want).
It would be better all-around to just have that data in a separate file with timestamps.
The crazier conspiracy, for me, is the MLK assassination. Wedigoon made a video about the odd occurrences.

Economists are landlords who want to rent your head for free and decorate it with their normalizing semantics.

Everyone’s a missionary spreading some mind virus about why their figurative babble is worth another meal on your dime.

Why let another meat suit infect you with vacuous prestige language? They’re just one of billions. The flow of stuff we need is just data anyone can learn to understand. They’re hardly magic beings with divine vision. Their semantics need not be the futures.
and for those who don't know it, that one is named after the author, Matt Godbolt.

All the best pirate stations are on HF. Ballsmackers on 6960khz / Fridays & 0200UTC is my fav.
People (in any relevant number) don't run their own e-mail servers, they don't join Mastodon and they also don't use Linux. All prior knowledge about how these things have worked out historically should bias us very heavily against the idea of local, privacy-preserving LLMs becoming a thing outside of nerd circles.

Of course small LLMs will still be commercialized, similar to how many startups, apps and other internet offerings now run on formally open source frameworks or libraries, but this means nothing for the consumer and how likely they are to run into predatory and dark AI patterns.
It's so odd how it's been probably a decade of "F# is underrated" but nothing makes it shine to the eyes of the market .. really strange
Code "quality" is almost always an opinion, and not one that is based on anything objective. That doesn't mean that the idea of it doesn't have a purpose, but it's almost always used as a bat to knock someone over the head with. It's not like code can be distinguished as fresh or moldy and rotten like fruit. If that were so, then most programmers would hardly ever bicker about code quality; it would be self-evident, just as any moron can separate the good fruit from the bad.

If a unit of code fixes or improves the user experience without slowing it down and is memory efficient, then it becomes incredibly hard to objectively define said code as being bad. Perhaps it ruins the developer experience, but then again, many programmers object to things they simply don't like on a philosophical or theological basis. Programmers, depending on the language community, may consider anything that isn't "object oriented" to be poor quality, but good luck finding objective proof that object orientation is always better.
> We're left to guess what this means. What's work around the work? If that work is now unsavory, why can't they work on work rather than around it? Is this describing reducing the management layer?

I get you don't want to go into specifics of who's let go, but then don't pretend you're providing a clear analysis, and don't give a washed out business lingo salad instead.
