Sure, I guess I'm just arguing that even if you overlook that detail, then your intuition should tell you that the balls having a binomial distribution is suspect, i.e. you have to overlook a small thing and a big thing to misunderstand, and given that, I don't think the question is ambiguous. All good though.
If you're withdrawing funds then it is not the case that the only thing you ever do is deposit cheques.
I think it's fair to say when you hit the hundreds of millions of dollars mark the diminishing returns for making things happen faster have well and truly kicked in.

Perhaps the only benefit would be extra computational power yet I would struggle to understand the benefit of jumping from 500 million to 5 billion with such short timeframes.
I don't have much faith in what Wikipedia moderators consider "fair". Go look at Hilary Clintons Wikipedia page vs Trumps during the 2016 election.
Non-squash commits are kind of a nightmare to actually implement securely. You need to make certain that all the commits are properly assigned to an actual person (no impersonation) which would involve implementing commit signing infrastructure which a lot of orgs don’t want to do.

It can also get confusing as a reviewer if people do any rebasing after submitting the PR.

- Using ChatGPT is not cheating.

- Using an IDE is not cheating.

- Using StackOverflow is not cheating.

- Reading the documentation is not cheating.

I would expect candidates for programming jobs to demonstrate first class ChatGPT or other code copilot skills.

I would also expect them to be skilled in using their choice of IDE.

I would expect them to know how to use Google and StackOverflow for problem solving.

I would expect programmers applying for jobs to use every tool at their disposal to get the job done.

If you come to an interview without any AI coding skills you would certainly be marked down.

And if I gave you some sort of skills test, then I would expect you to use all of your strongest tools to get the best result you can.

When someone is interviewed for a job, the idea is to work out how they would go doing the job, and doing the job of programming means using AI copilots, IDEs, StackOverflow, Google, github, documentation, with the goal being to write code that builds stuff.

Its ridiculous to demonise certain tools for what reason - prejudice? Fear? Lack of understanding?

There's this idea that when you assess programmers in a job interview they should be assessed whilst stripped of their knowledge tools - absolute bunk. If your recruiting process trips candidates of knowledge tools then you're holding it wrong.
It is infiltrating healthcare in all of the worst possible ways at present. It is sneaking into diagnosis and treatment in ways that are outright dangerous to patients.
Journalism and SEO really ruined it. Search for any sort of newsworthy info like a video or statistics, and you used to get the raw video or report. Now you have to wade through clips of said video with some news person talking over it, or articles about the actual data instead of the data itself. Adding "raw video" or "raw data" to the search has minimal effect. Search for anything with commercial relevance and it's SEO spam all the way down.
Maybe we can get like a certification authority and only leet code once in person instead of doing it 2 to 3 times for every company we interview with
The headline makes it sound like they destroyed the equipment somehow.

The article makes it sound like a bunch of consumer-grade routers were infected with Chinese malware, and that the FBI hacked into the hacked routers, logged the malware, and removed it.
This is the outgrowth of a VC startup accelerator. "Startup" in these parts usually implies being VC funded, seeking VC funding or acting as if you were VC funded (i.e. growth focus rather than sustainability).

The earlier you start, the more you accumulate, the more flexibility you have later. I had 12 months runway when I started mine, and it is so valuable not to look for investors and just work on your product/company when you feel pretty confident.
Polestar has just introduced an EV with 400 miles range UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS. i.e. warm enough weather, overnight 'warm' parking, plenty of charging stations, no other cars at the charging station to allow a charge big enough in a short enough time. (It's the old 'How many appliances can you plug into a single outlet?' problem. The more appliances plugged in, the less energy is available for each of them.)

That Polestar will have the same problems that Tesla drivers had this winter: The LACK OF EV-SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE

It's the old chicken and egg problem: Can we afford to spend billions on infrastructure before we have millions of EVs? On the other hand, without that infrastructure nobody will buy millions of EVS because they're not usable.

The biggest infrastructure problem, even bigger than the lack of charging stations, is the lack of an electrical grid robust enough to be charging millions of EVs at any time of day or night. Last year the Texas electrical grid was not robust enough to be able to cater for several weeks of cold temperatures, even without having to charge millions of EVs.

EV sales are exploding in China

China has a history of providing infrastructure beforehand.(High-speed rail, anyone?) You would probably discover that there are lots more and better charging stations there. Europe also. I can remember seeing charging points in ordinary parking spaces on Paris streets about 12 years ago.
The former. That is, they convinced people to pay a premium over the material cost of the test. Nothing skeevy about that, just good marketing. Assuming that customers were not misled.

> Specifically, on a 10-point scale measuring accuracy of responses, we observed a mean score increase of 0.88 for experts and 0.25 for students compared to the internet-only baseline, and similar uplifts for completeness (0.82 for experts and 0.41 for students). However, the obtained effect sizes were not large enough to be statistically significant,

The last sentence is the most telling. The differences were not statistically significant.
> I also am in favor of "open book" interviews.

I recall reading an interviewing.io blog post[0] in which the dominant considerations interviewers weighed were (my interpretation):

(1) Did they solve the problem optimally? (2) How fluid was their coding?

With "communication" turning out to be basically worthless for predicting hire/no-hire decisions.

Perception of coding fluidity seems like it would be affected by how often the candidate stops and looks up things like library functions or obscure syntax.

For that reason I've been investing time in committing a lot of library functions to memory, so they instantly flow from my fingers rather than spending a minute looking it up.

It's dumb that I need to do this, but I don't make the rules. I'm just at the bottom of the information cascade that led to how things are done now.

Mars can't be terraformed. Not significantly with our tech level or any forseeable future tech level.

1. Mars core is cold. There is no magnetic field to deflect solar wind.

2. Solar wind means no living on the surface and no surface agriculture.

3. Solar wind also means that any atmosphere we could potentially create will slowly be "blown away" (see details on Wikipedia).

4. A higher temperature will only vaporize the little water ice that remains, and those vapors will be blown away by the solar wind and be lost forever.

Probably Venus could be terraformed if we could lower the temperature allowing CO2 to be trapped as limestone by microorganisms.

Hopefully it does. If an LLM can do that, why should I have to do that, both in an interview or outside of one. LLM-assisted programming is where it's at, and there's no going back. Being able to do a leetcode isn't a good test of a candidate in the first place.

All of that is different in an office vs. remote.

> All of this should be written down in the company manual, at least for a well-functioning org

Why not videos that a person can watch and follow along with? Why not 1:1 virtual meetings for some things in a remote company and 1:1 in-person meetings for (perhaps the same or different) things in a non-remote company? Why not quizzes that can be completed when the person wants to complete them rather than a meeting?

> Onboarding folks is literally communicating “this is how we do things around here”

Kind of. And the different definitions of "around here" can (should IMO) lead to different methods and approaches to communicating it.

I also think that onboarding is what things we do and why we do them, not just how things are done.

I think handing someone a manual can be an OK onboarding experience for some companies and some people but can generally be improved upon.

I did this. I grew my project, Buttondown [https://buttondown.email] from high three figures to low five figures while doing it as a nights-and-weekends thing at Stripe and then quit to work on it full time. It was a great decision and I'm happy I did it! (I also did it, frankly, with significant runway in the bank if I needed it, and no dependents besides my wife so the tail risk of "this goes to zero and/or I hate it" was not particularly painful.)

My advice would be: it reads like you're commingling two questions that really should be separate, which are:

1. Do you want to start a business and pursue independent employment?

2. What are the quantitative parameters and conditions under which such an enterprise is sustainable?

If the answer for 1. is yes (and interrogate yourself a bit! how many of the things that you are imagining are less "working on your side project full-time" and more "not working on the day job that you hate?"), get as concrete as possible with 2. What burn rate _is_ acceptable to you? How much savings are you willing to use during build-out, if you were to start now? What growth do you need to hit to feel like you're financially on the right track?

There are lots of funding tools (using the term 'tool' loosely) available to you — SBA, subsidy via full-time job, subsidy via contracting, lifestyle-friendly firms like Tinyseed. But you need to start with the numbers.

The main issue with this is a week to the traveller crossing the galaxy near the speed of light still requires civilization to stay together for 100,000 years without them.

The second issue is it's not as attractive as it sounds. Travelling 1/10th the galaxy in a proper time of 5 days requires a trip of a constant 2400 G's. Maybe solvable once your civilization has already overcome the Fermi paradox (probably don't need bodies at that point) though.

You are fighting a strawman. If you don't take of your site, but expect others to take care of it (pin it), then it is not your site. You must ensure it has at least one pinned version. Others might o might not pin it, it depends on the popularity, or the accessibility of the stack, which is lacking right now according to the article.

How did you get to fish? Because boy do I have a story for you.

Mine starts in Atlantis, then Poseidon gives me a fish. Then two fish turned into a shark and I ended up with a sharknado.

Then I found the titanic, we hit an iceberg, I found a treasure and then pirates chased me, but I got away, sold the treasure for money and became the richest man, then climbed Mt Everest, and later had a tea party.

Anyway, there has to be a better way to get fish than Unda da Sea.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/20/the-daily-stormer-was-back...

I don't defend what the daily stormer has to say but I would defend their right to say it and not be canceled. To be clear it wasn't only namecheap involved in this effort to cancel their domain but since the name cheap was mentioned as an alternative to GoDaddy that is why I brought it up.

We may not like the consequences of free speech but this mindset that businesses like namecheap simply registering a name so DNS resolution can happen refusing to do that based upon content they disagree with but in no way participate in bothers me a lot. Especially when it seems to be a coordinated effort of all of the registrars attempting to do this. Should the people who hold those beliefs not be allowed to rent housing, purchase electricity, shop at the grocery store, eating the restaurants? It is very dangerous to exclude people from a society based upon their ideology and their speech.

Wow! You folks are making huge strides for open-source multimodal models. Thank you for all the time and effort on these as they will open up many opportunities for researchers and developers. Also, the emergent zero-shot capabilities when LLaVA-1.6 is tested against Chinese benchmarks with only English multi-modal training data are interesting and that may be a good direction for future research.
I agree that this is the likely long term outcome. But for now folks want to think that everyone needs to have memorized every individual screw, nail, nut and bolt in the edifice of computer science.

> Yet it is too small for any company to care about to create competition (except Affinity).

I'm curious about their business model for this. When the Affinity suite is ~$170 one-off cost, I wonder how many they have to sell each year to keep going and how big the market is. If someone is using this software every day as their main way to make money, that's incredibly cheap as well but could they charge more? People hate subscriptions, but paying $100s upfront when it's actually worth it given how much it earns you is unpalatable as well.

I'm curious if there's any other approaching to charging. Not suggesting this would work here but for example game engines take a % of the sales generated so you only get charged when you start making money, which avoids upfront costs and subscriptions while you're getting started.

I was watching a documentary about Steinway pianos awhile back, and there are several parts where the piano comes off the line and then has to be extensively hand-fitted for some part or other; that is to say that each one takes a lot of individual attention in spite of using some mass production technique (they're about as high-end a piano as there is).

Children are semi-random genetic combinations of their parents and aren't amenable to mass production; I've long suspected that generic advice is close to worthless and once you mix in the replication crisis, all the science seems close to worthless. I think you just have to take the time and figure out what works for each kid.
