I'm not junior anymore, but something not mentioned which I've found useful is in-person networking. But for me in person networking wasn't so much of "I'll go meet people and ask for an interview", but rather going to places to learn / talk about technical stuff I was interested in, and getting to know people doing the same things. Unfortunately, it helps to be in a place where these kinds of events happen, so tech hubs etc.

I've also searched for recruiters for a company on linkedin and messaged them directly, in addition to cold applying. Helps sometimes.

It also helps to be prepared to interview at any times, especially if you're looking at startups. So being on top of your system design (maybe not applicable at 1.5 years) and coding game.

I'm not a fan of leetcode (and maybe as a fe person you don't actually get asked it much?) but using some roadmap to learn it while applying is really useful, doing mock interviews etc. Neetcodes roadmaps are pretty good, and I'm building an AI mock interviewer at that _somewhat_ should help in doing 'mocks' (not as good as a real mock though but I've found it great for learning).

It's at https://comp.lol/. Sign up if you want to try it out. Sorry if the last part sounded like an ad, no real pressure to try it but I've had some interest from folks interviewing. Best of luck!
Bet hedging would’ve meant introducing the BZ4X years ago. Instead, there were 8 years between when Toyota announced their first hydrogen car and their first electric vehicle. This if an example of simply betting wrong.

This is one of the things that drive me nuts about open source projects. Sane defaults are critical to onboarding. Yet default configs seem to mostly be setup for maximum pedantry.
GDDR isn't necessarily all that better on use for general purpose CPU.

Most importantly, buyers didn't want machines with soldered memory, and that was main method of going with wider bus without prohibitively expensive boards etc.
That's an interesting approach. In an interview, you generally drive the discussion a certain way to gather data points for your rubric. Wouldn't this happen in your case? If yes, how is it different from an interview? Otherwise, how do you evaluate candidates who solve the problem but don't seem to communicate much about it.

Isn't it entirely expected that younger people have less wealth in general than older people, who have had more years to accumulate wealth? Perhaps one could argue that 4.9% and 71.6% make too big of a gap, but then I also don't know what would be the "right" distribution, if there is even one. Given the effects of compound interest, it seems mathematically sensible that net worth will always be skewed more towards the elderly than one would intuit.
The reporting was localized, not the freeze.

The Tesla connector latch issues in freezing temps are likely common as well.
I don't really follow what you're trying to say with your last sentence and I'd be skeptical of a claim that Chinese workers are 30% more efficient, but Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and others have maintained US manufacturing facilities for decades and seem to be doing just fine with any potential culture conflicts.

The 30% number you cite could be true but perhaps in order for Chinese (or any other country) manufacturing to be economical perhaps it needs to be 60%. Mexico is actually important here.

Isn't that the whole training process though. Unless you know of every piece of data used to train it, and how each of those data was prepared, you have to assume that any LLM you use is coming with a particular viewpoint baked in.

One of the biggest obstacles to any kind of mind-body practice is the sense that you NEED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE RIGHT NOW. It's a mental habit a lot of us build up over a life full of being busy with various tasks and concerns.

The way I get through it is to remind myself that the only reason to avoid doing anything is fear of death, and I know for sure that sitting here for 1 minute will not kill me, therefore I have no reason not to force myself to just do it.
I just want to see an X3D series APU with a gigantic video cache.
The display may be 3,386 PPI, but wow my laptop screen has never looked sharper after taking the AVP off my head. Screen sharing from my Mac looks distractingly bad, which is a huge bummer. (AVP apps, by contrast, look fantastic.) No matter how I scale or where I place the space, it just never looks very good.

I'm really hoping this improves because it's nice to turn my 14" MacBook Pro into a theater screen of sorts alongside native apps. For the moment, though, AVP doesn't seem very useful apart from watching movies (which is amazing).
The Apple thing is the podcast directory: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/genre/podcasts/id26

Annual exports dropped on a dollar basis but not when using RMB. On the other hand if you were to check Japan's exports, which newspapers are more likely to report on a Yen basis, it states exports are up due to weaker yen by quite a bit, but if you use dollar basis, it's down by more than 10%.
Love the username.

I don't remember AtD as being particularly filthy, but it has been a long time. It remains one of my all-time favorites. If nothing else, I'm indebted to the book for encouraging me to seek out literary westerns such as Warlock by Oakley Hall and Butcher's Crossing by John Williams.
it's the list of feeds that is hosted by apple (think of it as a search engine for podcasts), not the actual feeds or media files.

The article says "near" the intersection of 17th and Mississippi, not at, but if (if!) Waymo is being accurate about what happened I think you can assume this was a 4-way stop (relevant Streetview: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vyH1xZAJ2qeZGbZK6). The truck goes before Waymo (again, if Waymo is representing this accurately) because Waymo thought the truck had right-of-way, the bike is behind the truck, which means the bike shouldn't have turned left in front of the Waymo until after the Waymo went through the intersection. As any SF resident will tell you it's not surprising the bike would fail to stop at the stop sign and wait its turn or even yield to the Waymo, but, again, if Waymo is telling the truth, what is the standard here? Is it "but would a human driver have stopped in time?" Or is it the rules of the road where the bike should've obeyed the stop sign and waited its turn?

One comment having recently taken a Waymo for the first time. I was actually taken aback at how quickly it would accelerate from stops. I was actually happy about it because it felt just like a real driver, but in this scenario with the bike perhaps the quick acceleration from the stop could've contributed to the bike not being able to clear in time.
One of the strangest things I saw like this was from Best Buy. I had bought a HD DVD player (I'm still pissed that it lost out to Blu Ray), and then a month or so later, they were discontinued.

Best Buy sent me and everyone who bought them within a certain period before discontinuing a $100 gift voucher.

I'm pretty sure every country says that about themselves. It's more a statement of national pride than of fact.
This, plus abilities[1](what Unison calls algebraic effects), make Unison such a joy to work with, it's a very pleasant experience. You can get straight to the business logic.

I also hope it catches on, but Unison right now really gives a pleasant experience.

Datafusion's SQL dialect has some slight quirks that pertain to Datafusion-specific functionality. For instance, the ability to create an external table.

With regards to ParadeDB, we rely on the Datafusion SQL parser, which can transform the Postgres SQL dialect into a Datafusion logical plan that can be executed by Datafusion. We actually have an open PR that adds support for user-defined functions...it will likely get merged within a few days.
excellent, thanks
Why is being loud on the highway necessary when there is an alternative (driving a quiet car)? There are people and animals living close to highways, some of them longer than either the highway or your loud car have existed.

Cars also have the tendency to sometimes go outside and move from place to place quite rapidly, creating the potential to wake or otherwise disturb thousands of people in a short timespan. Try that with a trombone!
Ooo, never heard about this one! Well done Japan!
Well so is the 64-word concept if you insist. It only applies to protein transcription which is 1-2% of human DNA, so it's wrong 98% of the time
> The Vision Pro has another small problem for spectacles wearers. Contrary to some reports, Apple says that corrective lenses are available for most conditions, including astigmatism (which we weren’t sure about in part one), and they also offer bifocals, and progressives. But if you have a prism value included in your prescription, you’re out of luck. Prism correction is used to correct for diplopia, or double vision. The easiest way to see if your vision prescription is supported is to use ZEISS’s online tool.

As someone that has prism in their glasses, that sucks. I do have custom lenses with prism for my Quest 2. Not sure why apple can't offer it as well, especially if the lens comes from ZEISS.
If you don't have cashflow, you can't get exposure to investments. Young people are disadvantaged if they can't get into investments materially and the greatest growth period was before they were in a position to get exposure (ie assets held by 55+ [1]). People can't even afford rent [2], let alone investment accumulation.

A variation of this post pops up here a lot. Reminds me of writers on writing forums looking for the perfect "light weight" word processor.

Problem being, everyone has one "must have" feature that they want along with the light-weight solution. And for every writer that "must have" feature is different.

When you join all the single, one-off "must haves" together you end up with Microsoft Word.

As for blogging platforms, I use wordpress.com. Paid, not free. No work at all on my end apart from writing. Haven't thought about the platform in a long while now.
Nice work! I love underground documentation. Dubious font color choice ;)

Thanks for the link. Might this be related to the concept of "quality" as brought up by Robert Pirsig in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (1974)?

I don't think the "thing" is completely ungraspable. It is probably the same subject as that which philosophers have studied under the name of aesthetics for ages.

Let's continue the rant from here: I tend to link everything back to the concept of evolution as a reason for existing, and aesthetics seems to me to be related to simplicity. If something is simple, it is most often better: i.e. a healthy body, instead of one full of pock marks, or a scientific explanation based on Occam's razor, instead of one based on the pattern of tea leaves. In the long run, simple things have proven to be extremely helpful to humans.

Now, the problem with working on extremely complex things, such as societies, buildings, or software, is that these are not simple to begin with. So we have some humans finding extreme joy in trying to come up with ways to understand these in simple terms, even though the terms are still horribly complex to an uninitiated outsider. The building blocks do not always have, nor require, names. That makes them somewhat harder to grasp than your average object such as a table or a chair. But the entire process might be identified as quality, beauty, or cleanness.

Or at least, that's what I think.

Edit: To avoid common objections to the term "simple", consider that the reversal of something is only one hop away from the actual thing. That may still make a character with pock marks attractive, given that they have, say, an abundance of gold.

The problem is that they can sniff the bus at their convenience after grabbing the hardware and running. No need to hide a keylogger.
This is an interesting perspective. Genuine question: would it not be the other way - seeming lower than actual resolution when slightly moving? Why?

Could this be used to simulate a higher pixel density? Maybe doing something crazy vibrating the display in some kind of circular motion or something silly?
I don't see how bifocals could possibly work in this; the display is always a constant distance away. What I bet they do is interpolate between your distance and close-up prescription to guess what prescription you need to view the constant-distance displays.

You can ask your optometrist for "computer glasses" if you want to see this in action.
Would like to hear your take on the discrepancies in perception, if you are willing to put yourself out there again.
+1 to the comments pointing out that these types of questions can easily veer into highly intrusive, if not overtly discriminatory, territory.

This reminds me of LinkedIn pablum more than anything else.
I've bought and sold so much stuff on Facebook marketplace. Almost always in person and in cash and always a good experience.

At least one time I broke the rule and actually sent money up front for an item but the seller packaged up and sent it right away. The amount was low enough that I wasn't worried about losing it, the item was pretty unique, and I spent a bunch of time checking on things before I decided to trust.
I'm getting more and more to the feeling that there needs to be stronger penalties for misuse of data than stuff like the GDPR.

I get emails to an old, legacy email address of mine. I haven't actively used it in like 15 years, and when I did use it, it was on gaming forums because remember the days where you didn't give your real contact details to every random person with a site on the internet?

Anyway, this email has ended up in various people search databases for me which has then resulted in the likes of AWS recruiters, Druid salespeople, etc. emailing me on this address.

I can see the path how this came to be:

Gravatar Leak tied this email to newer email addresses I actually use -> various data brokers, probably buying off each other -> people search websites -> Amazon recruiting, Druid sales, etc.

And now data from an illegal data breach has laundered its way into companies that consider themselves very serious about being law-abiding using that data.

Unfortunately, the closer you get to the source, the less upstanding and more transient these companies are. The people search websites are kind of sketchy at times, the data brokers they buy from are more so, etc. So trying to get legal actions against the data brokers is kind of pointless, it feels.

And this has real world effects. Recently a company which I was in the hiring process for decided midway to switch to emailing this legacy email address. Not any of the ones listed publicly with my real identity, not the one on linked where they claimed to have contacted me from, not the one we'd been conversing over for months, but one they'd plucked out of whatever people search DB they were using. Luckily I was aware of recruiters less-than-ideal handling of contact details, so I knew to check the ancient inbox when they went weirdly quiet in a way that was odd for that phase of the process.

I think the only way to stop this is for there to be financial penalties on the end users of the ill-gotten data. When the druid salesperson emails me on the address obtained from the Gravatar data breach, there should be a fine for misuse of data, no matter how many layers of intermediaries there are between the Gravatar hackers and Imply Data, Inc. and the same story for when Amazon's recruiter does it. It's clear that anything less will not dissuade companies from the dissolution of responsibility for using ill-gotten data.
This is an article about a single factory - Toyota spends upwards of $30 billion a year in CapEx -- Tesla spends under $10 billion per year.

Toyota's battery complex in North Carolina is a greater spend than the entire annual budget from Tesla and will have about the same output as Tesla's "gigafactory". The $1.3 billion in Kentucky is in addition to that.. it's a mistake to think they're not investing heavily.

Graphite is a code review tool (to organize PRs in stacked diffs), their data probably comes from their userbase, not just their internal team.
I agree. As much as tech communities tend to dump on achievements, we really should applaud this work. I can't wait to see breakdowns of versions 2, 3, 4. As you begin to master your own creation and manufacturing process, it will be neat to see how much simpler it becomes.
I hear you. My site is 1 http request and no js so I’m definitely with you on this.
Reversion is an unreliable metric, because some PRs will be large enough that they NEVER get reverted, even if they should because it's easier to just fix the broken PR with another PR (about 50 lines should do it).

Ask HN: Does anyone else have trouble voting on a comment on their phone?
The up and down vote buttons next to each comment are very close together. It can be really tricky to hit the right one with your finger on a phone touch screen. There are numerous times when I just have to hope that the right one was selected. Can they be spaced farther apart?
The thing that ticks me off is when a website has a cutesy patronizing tone in its error message, and it was them that messed up.

"Ooopsie! Looks like you clicked on a picture that doesn't exist!" Instead of "We fucked up and served you an invalid link"
Is it stereotype or statistics? If indeed x% of doctors are white, then that same amount should ideally be represented in the output, not "equal probability". Seek to change the cause, not to mask the effect.
I doubt that will be a problem here. Their Kentucky plant is huge, it's been around for decades and it makes lots of high quality cars including the Camry. Toyota goes to a lot of effort to teach the workers their production system and culture.
What if the one-hole tools were meant to be mounted on some kind of rack or jig?
I haven't used Unison in a while, so maybe this isn't true anymore, but what always ended being the hangup for me was that both sides needed to use exactly the same version of Unison (IIRC at least down to the minor version number).

This ends up being a hassle unless you are using exactly the same OS on both sides, since you need to either have the right version in ports/apt/pacman/whatever or manage the Unison builds yourself.
Along with those factors, there's a reasonably convincing theory going around, complete with some successful experimentation, that training on scraped internet data (with various dates attached to comments, etc) results in seasonally affected answers based on whatever date the model 'thinks' it is when answering.
Yah "mostly" might have been a bit strong on my part. I think Neil Stevenson is capable of both expressing interesting ideas and shoehorning in great excuses for action set pieces at the same time. Certainly any good science fiction can inspire different interpretations by different people!
