I just had the exact same reaction! So I opened a random PDF I had laying around, and yes, it's mostly a text format. Some (most) objects are binary data streams, but some are also text data. Likewise, objects may or may not be compressed, obviously compressed streams are binary data. But the file structure is text, some objects are xml, and you can figure out quite a lot of stuff just by looking at a pdf in a text editor, and it might not even be that long: the single page PDF I just looked at is just over 1500 lines long, I can definitely manually scroll through it (although offsets are in bytes, not lines, which make them not very useful for manual lookup).
Not to be insensitive to a sensitive topic, but isn't Meta the 'single largest market for <almost anything>'?
>That's not true, it's not like if the US defaults you become personally liable.

Citizens might not become "personally liable" in a legal sense, but they get similar consequences, reduction in wealth, poverty increase, etc, that somebody "personally liable" for their personal debt would get.

A country wide failure of economy can be even more devastating to individuals than some personal debt they default on.
Let me try again. In the first interpretation the red ball drawing signals an absence of the n=0 case for the distribution, so we have a very slightly biased shift towards the red side of the potential n's, now in [0-99] vs [0-100] before the draw, so the question becomes does probabilistic gain in red bias distribution outclass the potential increase in green bias (reds now having reduced by 1 in the particular chosen n we are dealing with)?

The second interpretation says that given any selected n, the probability of drawing green of the next ball from that urn can only increase or stay the same (in the all red balls urn case) compared to drawing from that urn before.

It is the absolute vs relative interpretation of what the 'more' refers to.

I'll grant that the inclusion of 'uniform' for n in the question suggests the absolute interpretation as the relative interpretation would be independent of the uniformity of n.

The question could have eliminated ambiguity by just asking for the probability of the next ball color, but given the context of a Google recruitment test they might be more interested in how candidates reason under uncertain conditions rather than their dry probability skills.
Table driven tests are fine for more than, let’s say 6 test entries, but otherwise a set of assert or require is much more pleasant to the eye. AND if you want to debug, just click on the stacktrace in your IDE and set the break point for that failing test. Way faster.

Again, table driven tests definitely have their place, but in the spirit of XP, it is not the most simple thing out there. Do not use by default.
No, the problem with the joke is that it doesn't just make fun of her, it also uses the fact that she is a woman and mother to make that joke. This plays into sexism and misogyny by implying that both of these things made her unfit for office by default. Note how the "sanitized" version using fingers instead of children doesn't really have any oomph to it - the sexism is not just window dressing, it's what makes the joke work.

Jokes are not "just jokes". Jokes play off culture and reinforce or challenge it. People having a low number of fingers doesn't do either of those things so at that point it stops being a joke and becomes a dry empirical claim ("they have at most ten working aircraft"). Stand up comedy is an art form and takes considerable effort, creativity and repetition. Dismissing jokes as "just jokes" as if they are shallow brain farts is like saying poetry is "just words". Jokes are worth analysing and being dissected just like any other artform and even if they're genuinely created by "amateurs" they're informed by the culture that surrounds them.

VdL is a terrible politician, I strongly oppose her value system and I think she does indeed have a history of failure. But that's not how the jokes are framed, that's merely the setup to the jokes. The jokes wouldn't work with a male politician because the punchline is that she's a woman and mother.

You can agree with the punchline but denying that it's sexist or misogynist (in the sense of "women and mothers are unfit as politicians") is silly even if you don't like those labels being applied to your sense of humor. Jokes are inherently political because culture is political. It's why reactionaries will say progressives aren't funny and why progressives will roll their eyes at jokes about trans people and say "that's just the one joke".

Clever comedians will actually use this and drop off-color jokes on audiences in the middle of a show to reveal their own hidden biases when they "accidentally" laugh about a joke they'd normally claim to be appalled by. But there's a fine line between doing that to lampshade dishonesty and just telling those jokes. And even then it requires a cooperative audience. As an example you can look at Chris Rock who felt he had to retire his routines that used the n-word because it emboldened racists rather than making fun of them.
Plus, OP makes 6000 euros a month which really is not nothing.
No, I don't think that's reasonable. Any outside resource ranges from pen and paper, a basic calculator to all the books you have, the Internet, ChatGPT and the help of other people.

I would say that the only thing that should be assumed implicitly is that it's forbidden to use the help of other people. Anything else should be explicitly laid out.

Having said that if some rule is not clear or evident then the interviewee should ask. And they should never be dishonest.
> Better to compare corporate revenue which is typically 5% or less of market cap for FAANG.

I wouldn’t even bother with that much. You’re comparing international corporations’ reported revenue with one measure of one country’s general economy. I know a lot of us here are from countries that are either really really big or really really rich or both, but most countries are not really really big or really really rich. The only thing reported revenue, GDP, and market cap have in common is a unit you can denominate them in, but GDP as measured in dollars or euros or whatever still isn’t money in the bank (and neither is market cap).
Land owners do end up paying tax on all the money they earn no?
And if people are living in a country, they still tend to spend at least 50-60% of it in the local economy itself. (Anecdotal numbers based on expat friends' spending there).

So the expats spend their home country resources for 20-25 years to get educated and be qualified enough to leave it and contribute to a different country's economy, taxes. Now the host country didn't spend any of it's resources in it's education, nor will it contribute to their healthcare - which typically becomes a burden only once they are older, by when they'd have left the country. Still seems like a net positive to me. Just can't put a number on it though. (wrt the 30% tax benefit).
>Don't think you have any idea how complex it is to both set up the fabs and run them. Are you gonna fly half of Taiwan to run these fabs here? How long do you think this process is going to take?

Feels like "crypto" where if someone says "I am not interested", "I do not like it", or something to that effect then commenters suddenly appear suggesting that this is somehow unacceptable. Look at the top comment.

Throwaway because this is a touchy subject, but if you've worked/contracted/supplied for ASML the consensus is pretty much: cutting edge on the hardware end of things, hopelessly behind in the software department.

So great if you're a physics PhD, but if you're going in there as a software engineer thinking you'll be working with the latest and greatest, you'll be in for a shock. Not to mention that it's a huge ship that's very difficult to turn around in terms of introducing new technologies or paradigms. It's classic BigCorp politics all the way through.
Newsom is as far-left as DeSantis is far-right.

I can understand that it sounds extreme, but I am sincere about it. These are not merely missteps. There is an extremely long trail (just search MS news) where it has become crystal clear that MS knows not any boundary in principle. MS acts like the computer and its data as its own, the user is just a hostage. (Even in a dual boot setup MS keeps setting Windows as default boot option). The amount of telemetry, browsing history and what not that MS pumps out of your devices is mind boggling.

The tech savy user has limited control about that. And they need to stay vigilant because each update can introduce new attacks on their privacy or security.

You should not trust such an actor. I did the math and moved over to Linux completely.
Tools like lockbox are not necessary, nginx, caddy, etc or heck even a normal 70 line python3 fastapi based script works just fine and should be more extendable than lockbox.

Well in that case you could make that argument about any piece of software.

Nearly all chip making machines are computer controlled. The operators could easily operate them remotely from Taiwan.

Companies that deploy solutions that handle all the problems with discoverability, single points of failure, failure mode options and interplanetary multi species scale when they have 0 coustomers never become "an org of Slack’s size".
Well at least that’s better than being QA’d by the AI.
The US has already done that. They leaned on the Dutch government to get ASML to reduce exports to China
Resource here means something with external knowledge. Pen and paper is not a resource in that sense. If you keep an algorithms book and look into it that would be considered cheating as well unless the interviewer pre-agreed that it’s open book so to speak.

I usually get stuck on "trust whatever it says". Maybe I'm wrong, but I find myself unable to get over the hump of trust in generated text at all. I shudder to think of the coming decades when a large portion of available information online is created from such systems.

I get what you mean and I'm not saying that not having extra operators is a dealbreaker that will make spans unusable. I just find it more pleasant/convenient for the following reasons:
1. Helps clarify intent
2. Makes teaching the feature easier, since it's name is closer to what the user wants to write. Also, rejecting pointers helps people not make mistakes.
3. Keeps sizeof consistent. The operator sizeof is supposed to return the size of the storage occupied by the object. A span is a pointer and some sizes (one could also design a span to be strided, meaning more integers to the mix), so sizeof could just return the size of that pointer ond the integers. Having sizeof be somewhat overloaded for spans could be surprising to nome people.
But again, just having sizeof is fine

It's hilarious to see that these BIG, BRAVE, GIANT corporations closely watch others and 1:1 copy the other one's moves. No harsh moves, do what the others do, then you can't get hurt :DDD. No wonder there is zero innovation EVERYWHERE around these behemoths.

Really Northern europeans (Kiruna) have the best skin in the world according to research, in part because of almost exclusively eating free range reindeer and fish from lakes.
It’s a tech demo, data acquisition and research/prototyping operation for OpenAI that’s highly subsidized and aimed at building a qualify dataset for GPT 5+ - effectively using their initial models trained in an unsustainable fashion and only offering temporary moats into investor narrative and a combination of new data and users, both potentially new moats and closing the gap to google.

It’s not a serious product.
Thanks, I really appreciate the answer!

I've read a few books on parenting, various online articles and was also at some short seminars. My experience is very similar to yours in that when the people writing/teaching were just basing their knowledge on opinions or trends I feel like it was usually bad advice. When I read a book or article coming from people that worked in the field as developmental psychologists or experienced and well-educated social workers I felt the advice given was much, much better.
That was the point of my question - trying to find resources that come from reputable people.
I feel like it's very hard to find 'the good stuff'..

Regarding your point on seeking experts advice - I totally agree. I'm no stranger to the idea, and have been to psychologists quite a few times throughout the years. I'm definitely not against it, and when I'll run into difficult situations i'll definitely take that as an option as well.
I was hoping to find sources of good advice for the day-to-day stuff that all parents deal with.
> "Type the question into ChatGPT and do what it says" is not the "how" that companies are looking for.

They are probably not looking for that, because LLMs perform poorly with some kind of problems, and you don't want people who rely on them heavily.

This gives you a plan for designing the interview questions.
Or simply provided employment to people who then paid for other things in the economy.
> Trying to hide it didn't even cross my mind - either they want to see how I work in a realistic environment with available tooling or they want to see what I can do in a "blind" setup.

Honestly, the realistic style of work that's close to how one would actually approach problems in their day to day is pretty much ideal. In my case that would be using a nice IDE, some AI as a glorified autocomplete, IntelliSense and all that as well, in addition to Googling stuff along the way, if needed.

That should be enough to let them know both how I think, as well as show how I can solve problems and reason about those solutions. Heck, maybe even give me a simple task to build a CRUD and then talk about the choices I've made, if they're serious about hiring me and want to actually see what's inside of my brain.

But of course, in many places can't have that happen - they want to put the candidates in a situation where they just have a barebones text editor and expect them to produce good results. Blergh.

You'd be surprised how many "commercial successes" in USA (essentially entire Silicon Valley and before that, Route 128) were driven by big bags of government money at a time when considerable portion of rest of the world would continue to repair and rebuild things wrecked by war.
I'm pretty sure there is zero overlap between the set of people doing that and the people buying the vision pro :)

There's a huge difference in lifestyle (and life expectancy) and tolerance of discomfort between those groups.
A century is... Quite a long time in technology terms, even more given the accelerating nature of technology. A century ago we barely had cars, 50 years ago we didn't have personal computers, 20 years ago personal computers were on a desk, nowadays it's in our pockets.

My guess would be anywhere between 20-50 years, a century just feels too long.
ASML isn't guarding profound insights revealed by the gods requiring some sort of eternal liver pecking sacrifice to obtain. If the EU plays hardball to too great an extent, other countries will replicate the research.

China will already have started their attempts. It isn't crazy to expect them to achieve success single handedly. If all of Asia starts mucking in the EU will get crushed. The EU does not have a track record of staying ahead when they tangle with Asians for tech manufacturing supremacy.

The EU can't parlay a temporary monopoly held by one manufacturing company into a useful strategic edge.

If you are asking questions which can be answered by Chat-GPT, maybe you are asking the wrong questions.

GPT is a tool which can legitimately be used to do your job.

There are so many things that GPT can't do: take decisions, find the best approach to talk with a human being, resolve conflicts between two members of the team, and last but not least explain why of a certain solution.

Is it a coding test? Pair with the candidate. See how they think. Ask yourself: would I enjoy working with this person?

It’s really hard not to in many fields these days. Network effects/marketshare are the whole ball of wax. You can’t scale them down beyond a certain point without making them utteerly irrelevant.

You can have a viable speciality car manufacturer that employees a handful of people to build a couple of cars a year. There are tons of such shops building hot rods, doing EV conversions, building movie cars, and things like that.

You can’t build a viable commercial social media site that serves 50 users.
Mutation testing can help with that. With mutation testing the program is changed automatically in small ways to see if that makes a test fail.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_testing

That said, any metric is only useful for people actually using it to improve something, and completely useless when used in an adversarial way against someone willing to game the system. Coverage is pretty useful for a programmer to see where test gaps are, and easily gamed when it's felt to be too onerous.

They're valid because the certificates include ipAddress Subject Alternative Names. PKIX (the RFC explaining how the X.500 system's X.509 certificates are to be repurposed for use on the Internet) explains several different names for Internet things, the "alternative names" and the most common you'll have seen is the dnsName, but ipAddress is also in there.

As to how and when they're issued, section 3.2.2.5 of the Baseline Requirements explains how an Applicant can prove this is their IP address and so they're entitled to a certificate for that address. Note that the CA is entitled to choose which if any of the methods listed in 3.2.2.5 they will use, and it's not uncommon for the answer to be "None of them".

Social media is not that dissimilar to sex and drugs.

At some point we just have to acknowledge that young teenagers are going to use it no matter what. So maybe we should focus more on education and harm prevention as opposed to trying to ban it.

Unless of course we ask adults to provide their credit card or driver's license to sign up. Which I suspect they won't.
