> The memory will be virtually contiguous, even if it's physically disparate.

I don't really understand the value of extolling the fact that like, you can incrementally iterate through an array in C. The days of systems with segmented memory are long behind us, and even then it wasn't like you'd have an array that spanned segments--you couldn't! Honestly what language/platform exists that doesn't have this property and what would that even look like? Like you'd somehow have to know that elements 100-200 in an array are "no good" and you have to skip them?

People keep trying to put meat on the very basic bones you've got here, but you keep insisting that, yep, 2 comes after 1 and 717 comes after 716. Great! We know! And we say stuff about how trying to index off the end of an array leads to UB, or how the array may not actually be contiguous in physical memory, or it might be in various caches, or how sometimes your array goes from 1024 members to 1025 members and your FPS drops from 300 to 30 because you fell out of cache, and you're like, "sure but you still access arrays with consecutive indexes". Well, yeah! It's kind of the point of using C that you have access to or some control over these kinds of things. They're useful to the conversation. Continually bringing us back to indexing... I don't think is.

> This is where the "model" portion of the statement comes into play and why OPs point is even more cogent.

Eh, "memory model" is a specific phrase referring to how memory is defined to work in a threaded environment [0]. The original "Help us understand: what is the model of memory in C?" prompt is referring to the fact that unless you prolifically use the API in stdatomic.h (which very few things do), you just have undefined behavior all over the place if you ever dare to use anything related to threads. Also, it was only defined in C11--not a lot of things have updated, even now.

---

Overall I want to emphasize that this whole thread is doing a real good job of proving Ned Batchelder's point: even people who think they know or understand C don't (to be clear, I do not think I understand C), and things are generally alright. There's--clearly, reading through everything--a culture of "You need to be an expert in some low-level, 'real' language/platform before you can write meaningful software", but you don't, and my evidence is Facebook, maybe the most influential software ever written.

> Using ChatGPT is not cheating.

id argue the way its being used, is. The audio is automatically picked up from the conversation, and starts generating a response with 0 user input. Ive seen users simply read off what their screen says in those cases, which is most definitely not what an interview expects from you. Using chatgpt as a tool on top of your existing skills is fine, it requires input and intelligent direction from the interviewee, this is not that.
undergrad in molecular biology = 4k. assuming eg CS undergrads don't attend en-masse molecular biology classes and/or have lab access.

edit: and one obvious error, it's graduates with molecular biology degrees, presumably the undergrad population is ~5x larger, for a total of 20k. and presumably the world is larger, so we can throw in another ~5x factor for a total of 100k. still, /orders of magnitude/ smaller than world population with access to the Internet.

> A normal wire transfer takes days even in europe.

That is somewhat true. Usually, a regular bank transfer does not take longer than 1-3 working days, mostly dependent on the institutions involved. Some banks take what feels like ages, some are done within 12 hours. But I have never experienced a transfer taking more than 36 hours, even internationally.

SEPA Instant Payments we're a bit slow to roll out but are now catching up. They're now fairly widespread in terms of availability and cheap as well (the banks I have accounts at charge 50ct for an Instant Payment). Apparently there is also legislation in the works which would make instant payments the default by making them mandatory to support and capping their prices to the prices of non-instant SEPA payments [1]

They're asking if you're a hiring manager at a company that does a lot of interviews.

We all see people commenting how much leetcode sucks and how it's not realistic, but companies that pay good money still asks leetcode regardless of what the general SWE public thinks.

Yeah, the Master System was huge in Brazil. Sega was willing to license the design out to Tec Toy to manufacture locally, which got them around the massive import tariffs that made other systems unaffordable.

It was also very popular in Europe (and Australia?) - not sure if there's any real reason for that, but the consequence of it - this [0] absolutely incredible rap by two British teenagers - makes me very glad it was.

In North America and Japan, though, Nintendo absolutely commanded the market. Basically no one had a Master System.

It feels so disingenuous seeing stuff like this come out of openai - like when altman was making sounds about how ai is maybe oh so dangerous (which maybe was just a move for regulatory capture?).

"this thing we sell might destroy humanity?!"

"but yeah we're gonna keep making it cause we're making fat stacks from it"

Is the move here just trying to seem like the good guy when you're making a thing that, however much good it might do, is almost certainly going to do a lot of damage as well? I'm not totally anti-ai, but this always smells a little of the wolves guarding the henhouse.

I wonder if this is what it felt like back when we thought everything was going to be nuclear powered? "Guys we made this insane super weapon!! It could totally power your car!! if it leaks it'll destroy all life but hey you only have to fill the tank once every 10 years!!"

Can you give an example of this?

Where I'm familiar with AI in healthcare is tools to help radiologists and cardiologists detect cancer early. This is a support AI, not the AI doing all of the work.

I'm also hearing about the potential for generative AI to provide a good bedside manner in "discussing" a diagnosis with a patient. Not diagnosing, but having more patience and time than a doctor has to communicate with the patient on known entities.

We use ML for measuring sleep state and finding opportunities to stimulate the brain to improve the efficiency of deep sleep.

All covered in the judgement. Shareholders can't act in their best interests if they don't know that the advice they're getting is a product of conflict of interests instead of a genuine independent recommendation.

Irrelevant since we don't know if the company would have hit those milestones regardless. The ruling covers this, in her judgement Elon had sufficient motivation with existing equity that the pay package was unnecessary from the interests of shareholders.

There seem to be two things at play:

1. The current economic situation is causing a lot of investors to tighten screws and demand profitability where they had previously been fine with just seeking growth because it becomes clearer that fewer investors are willing to participate in the next round of hot potato in the hopes of catching a unicorn.

2. Investors generally seek growth and at some point you've hit the physical limits by having caught nearly every customer you can and the only way to drive up those numbers is by upselling to the same people which often means kneecapping user experience to help upselling on the cure (e.g. Amazon Prime Video "channels" as extra subscriptions on top of the Prime Video ad-free subscription on top of the buy/rent for individual movies and shows on top of the Amazon Prime subscription that also includes access to Prime Video itself).

With streaming services specifically there's also the effect where Netflix itself ended up figuring out its niche's business model only to have every IP owning distribution studio try to copy it and become its competition, removing their IP from it (and any additional IP they can get exclusive licenses for) and locking it behind their own subscription model to cut out the middleman even if for the customer this means having to sign up to at least five different platforms if you want to watch every episode of the Pokemon animated series (for some reason). This is obviously enshittification for the customer and would still be so even if the individual streaming services all used the same exact pricing and business model as Netflix did a few years ago (before the price hikes, ads and measures against account sharing) - although it could be described as a monopoly being replaced by a market (which we're normally told should be a good thing).
Call me skeptical.

I see this report as the 'Come On' for a scam to fleece curious investors to fund a 'recovery expedition'.

I strongly disagree.

Your ability to use ChatGPT effectivelly is highly dependent on your technical competence.

The interview is meant to measure your acquired competence, because this is the harder part. Learning to leverage that competence using ChatGPT is very easy.

I'd rather have a developer on my team that demonstrates high technical competence than one that is GPT-skilled, but doesn't know what questions to ask GPT nor how to judge its responses.

> 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.

I think this makes a lot of sense, but regardless if the interviewer has specified you shouldn't be using tools to help you then it is deceptive and unfair if you do.
I assume the high bits would be in the variable length ip option field. So to an old stack it would look like a packet from 13.14.15.16 to 5.6.7.8. Both of those devices would have to be capable of routing ipv6 packets, but nothing in between would.

More or less precedented than notification surveillance? As far as I can tell this is no different from how the rest of the world (US included) operates.
The short answer is, "Yes." They are very flawed, but one of the most reliable ways to avoid "bad" hires.

The longer answer is:
Fundamentally, you need to address the fact that there exist a huge number of people in this industry declaring they have masters degrees/phds or years of industry experience, but when pressed they can't write even the simplest of functions.

While we called it out explicitly, some folks seem to miss that "Custom" questions are still fundamentally DS&A leetcode-style questions. I completely agree that "leetcode style" interviews are flawed, but most people don't have a better answer for this problem that still guarantees the person you're hiring actually can code.

We are optimizing for coders that make good choices quickly, and if they can code efficient code to toy CS problems, then you at least guarantee that 1) they can actually code and 2) they can code simple things quickly. Non-coding interviews allow you to hire people who can't do these basic things and therefore guarantee their performance is worse in a production environment.
It helps to use more specific terms than "decentralized" and "censorship resilient", there are a lot of attack vectors for both. IPFS certainly does address some of the attack vectors, but not all. For example if the "centralized" thing you're worried about is DNS and certificate authorities, then you can avoid those authorities entirely with IPFS. Replication is one aspect of centralization, and IPFS doesn't completely fail at it, it's just more expensive (you can guarantee two node replication, you will have to run two nodes though). And there are other aspects not addressed by IPFS at all like its reliance on IP address routing infrastructure.
Those are hazmat, contaminated with heavy metals among many other things, and need to be disposed of in specific ways - none of which involve consumption.

Ask HN: Taking a hiatus to learn more ML?
I've been at a chaotic job for 3+ years and had a lot of stress before that. Very much looking forward to quitting soon and getting some rest. I also need space to learn and practice with no side tasks, boss, or other sources of stress.

In my head, the ideal next few months would be spent in a low-CoL European country with a laptop and my 20k in savings, learning at my own pace and practicing the implementation of ML ideas. Then searching for jobs that match what I want, mostly in the US. And sticking to a couple hours of work per day, or whatever amount doesn't feel bad for me.

I've got experience implementing computer vision models, building inference/training pipelines, doing devops, programming in Python and C++, and a few other things. My goal is ML research or engineering on large pipelines. Current job doesn't leave me the energy to learn a lot by myself.

Does this sound like an extremely bad idea, given what everyone on here is saying about the tech job market, and that I'm not very experienced? I would appreciate any kind of advice, from people who have taken a hiatus, or recruited someone after one, or who know more about the ML job market and what employers are looking for.
