The trick in any such problem is not to believe your own PR. By all means, take the money if you can get it, but know that you may not be so lucky next time, and therefore do something with the extra money that doesn’t send you up the hedonic treadmill.

Being able to take a gamble on a company that could do something big or important, or flame out quickly, is a huge privilege, and only comes from generational wealth or having your assets widely outweigh your liabilities by living below your means.
> In what cases would you want multi-threading in javascript?

In all of them - JavaScript is mostly used for asynchronous programs, which are easily parallelizable. There's no reason not to want multi-threading.
Google has developed several non-cryptographic hash functions. CityHash, FarmHash, and HighwayHash come to mind. BigQuery provides FarmHash next to the MD5 and SHA-family of cryptographic hash functions. Who knows, maybe they use FarmHash today to index page URLs.

In quantum theory, it surprisingly was possible to test the hypothesis that things don't have a state before we measure them and then they stick to that state.

So I wouldn't rule out the possibility that we can test it for other "secrets of the universe".

I think this is mostly the case except that it’s not about weak people, personal growth or even mostly about culture. If people aren’t willing to go the extra mile for you, that’s on you honestly. If you’re incentivising and looking after your people they’ll feel like they have a stake and be personally invested.

I don’t think anyone would argue that investment banks have great culture from the outside or be motivating their people by the virtues of their higher purpose etc. but the incentives are there, and they work very effectively to get people’s commitment.

The January 16, 2024 edition of the CBC radio show "As It Happens" has an interview with Gerry Vogrincic, the doctor who bought the book in 2007 and just sold it.

There's a transcript of the interview here [1]. Search for "Old Anatomy Book".

The audio for the entire episode is here [2]. I don't recall how far into it this interview occurs. (I've sometimes found their interviews split into separate clips, but if that's the case here I don't know where to find it.)

That’s not true. There’s basically no employment protections in the UK for your first two years of employment. There are pretty good norms in the UK including finance about this, but your statutory protections are pretty weak even after the two years are up.

Similarly, with C#, you can compile with exception-on-overflow for integers. This is all great, but this should really be the default behavior for basic arithmetic operators, even in release builds. For cases where you want overflow (or saturation, or UB) there should really be distinct operators. Maybe something like <+> for wraparound, [+] for saturation etc.

From 2007 onwards (but some could say eben before that) and with Ive's power, Apple has lost all credibility by being utterly unwilling to admit their shortcomings. We had to wait years and years for the butterfly keyboard to drop, for magsafe and SD slot to be reintroduced.

I like pixi, but I am not likely to make the switch. They don't support pyproject.toml and other standards. This disqualifies it from being a potential "recommended tool" by PyPA or whatever.
I think people have no qualms about fuzzy boundaries or continuities. The problem arises when those get subsequently mapped onto discrete sets with wildly different consequences.

My work in computational ontology led me to believe people are fast to come to a conceptual joint agreement in a given model when the outcome is not consequential, but find it nearly impossible to settle when there are strong implications attached to a labeling.

Language only works between people that ultimatly want to agree.
Thank you for the perspective. My gut reaction to the headline was "Are particle colliders really the biggest bang for the buck science we can do?"

And you are kinda right, it doesn't have to be the biggest bang for the buck we can do in science. Its just nice it is not wasted on bridges to nowhere.

DivestOS is a slightly modified Lineage version that officially supports relocking on some phones (in contrast with Lineage, which I think can be relocked but explicitly tells users not to do that). It also has sandboxed implementations of both official Google services — ported from Graphene, I think – and microG.

I'm using it with microG, bootloader relocked, and it seems to pass SafetyNet this way – at least the apps that didn't work on Lineage seem to work here. (I haven't yet tried Google Pay, though – I think it will require proper GApps.)

Edit: by the way, banks requiring hardware attestation is probably a U.S. thing – in the EU and ex-USSR countries banks seem to not care about that at all (although some don't like it when you root your phone).
true, but the overlap in quality between low/high resolution and bitrate encodes are neither historical nor limited to yify.

It's even worse for playlists that change (daily mixes, made for you, or curated playlists).

When updating them, Spotify will first delete all old songs and then try to download the new ones. If a lot has changed and you're on a spotty Wifi connection this effectively deletes everything. Happened to me several times while on vacation.

There is the solution of enabling offline-mode before leaving for vacation, but as you mention it's very easy to accidentally disable it and once it's disabled all your playlists are toast.
This resonates so much with my experience.

I think it was Jim Collins in Good to Great starting with the idea that it's super important to "get the right people on the bus...and the wrong people off the bus". Which he expanded to the idea that motivated, skillful people don't actually need that much management, and that it is the mediocre and worse performers that do.

> you sign up for “real” talk with people you will never know

This only works very rarely, and I don’t think that it can work today anywhere. When my favourite subreddit had 5000 subscribers in 2014-2015, it worked. There were meaningful conversations, because every active people knew everybody else, and nobody was asshole with each other. Nowadays, I can’t find such communities, and of course the same subreddit now with 400000 subscribers is a terrible place. Even smaller ones behave like these larger ones now. People who want to achieve something, or simple assholes find these places too quickly, if it’s open in any way. I’ve also met people who behaved in real life like during a stupid political argument on an anonymous forum. That slowly becomes the norm for too many. Btw, game theory indicates that this should happen when most of your communication is with strangers.

Also politics, and state of the society in my original country definitely made people in Hungary more asshole. The society, how people behaved there 20 years ago, basically collapsed there to a depressive and anxious state (“conservatives”/alt-right/“classical liberalists” hurray!). This can be applied to most of the countries, but if you are lucky, just not that extreme way. That also doesn’t help to find any kind of community where there are no toxic people.

>The question is it reasonable for English speakers with a generally European heritage to be the stewards of niche world cultures?

Something better than nothing? It's very unlikely that a tribe in Africa or Polynesia is going to create their own ML model anytime soon.

Although if you read ML papers, it's usually pretty diverse. The article is hinting at colonialism, especially as experienced by the Maori, i.e. largely "English speakers with West European/British heritage, also male". However, the original Whisper paper has 6 authors out of which 2 are East Asian, 2 are of Jewish heritage, 1 is a native Russian speaker, 1 woman. I'm not sure how they're related to colonialism in NZ.

The article reads like the author of the article has what's called "gatekeeper syndrome" in my country, i.e. they're just upset someone trains ML models on Maori language without their official approval/oversight because the author feels their foundation is entitled to speak for all the Maori.

The article has some good points about marginalised languages and dangers of incorrect use, but it is wrapped in awful nationalist and tribal rhetoric. It divides the world into in/out groups based on heritage and claims total ownership of a language. This goes beyond protecting their heritage and promoting it, they want to keep it for themselves, never letting anyone else use it: "If anyone is to profit from te reo Māori it should be Māori and Māori alone". They decry developed societies making technological progress under a racial guise: "... open sourcing ... best serves those who already have a foot in the industry, which is mostly White and Asian men".

Claiming that you alone have a right to work with your native language is about as ridiculous as claiming that only Italians can make pasta. I don't see the point anyhow; who cares about the motivations of corporations if the product is good?
There's more than just raw strength that goes into making magnets for a collider. It's the combination of strength, uniformity, and enclosed volume which makes things difficult.

Do too much, and you were sandbagging. Do too little and you're not a competent planner.

You cannot imagine the stupid horse shit that would wrap every quarter as managers would try to manipulate outcomes to look like they hit 80% dead on.

That's why I hate the MBA types and the whole executive caste with a passion
I completely agree that it's returning to its "normal state" but disagree with the pure luck part. The UK is a declining empire, much like Spain and Portugal of past. They massively expanded their empire / Colonial holdings from the late 16th century all the way up to the WW1/2 era, at their peak holding sway over something like 25% of the world's population.

That wasn't luck, even if you consider it lucky that they are an island and were able to isolate themselves (while still being involved!) from the conflicts of continental Europe.

Now the empire is more or less gone and they've shot themselves in the foot with Brexit, they will become much like any other relatively isolated (economically) and resource poor developed nation.
The scale of their impact when they are exceptional
Recently I was helping someone in my life who'd gone through a stroke (not too old or tech-unsavvy) to learn a password manager and go through various websites' password reset flows. It really forced me to confront the reality of what you described, i.e. that computing really has become an inscrutable, confusing mess where nothing makes sense and we've just come to accept it.

It used to feel like being "tech savvy" meant thinking logically as the system designers would have, but now I think it just means being conditioned through years of abuse into knowing the unwritten rules of how to skillfully outmaneuver bullshit interfaces and dark patterns.

No, I’m not blaming the user. Look at this from the other perspective:

I have an apartment, a vacation home, a chicken coop, a shed with old tools, a car, a bank deposit box.

Do all of those things absolutely require a Post-Blockchain-Ready™ SuperDuperLock 3000© with the patented Forensic Upgrade Crypto Key™ technology?

Not really. Some security vs. accessibility/usability trade-offs need to be made.

Somebody stealing the contents of my bank deposit box? Okay, that would suck.

Somebody breaking into the shed and stealing that old broken Toyota diff lock actuator I *swear* I'm going to fix at some point and maybe a shovel? Please.

This is why I think there might be a security floor for critical applications, but it should be the user's choice if they really want full 2FA+ with smartphones, biometry, and social security number verification for their random account on once-a-month-visited social network for cats.

OKRs are often done wrong. I would not go as far as call them "bullshit" or useless. Just because many people are doing something incorrectly, does not mean that there is no way of doing it well in a way that provides value. The biggest bullshit with OKRs is that many organizations go through the motions of doing OKRs, but are actually just making up numbers and sweating through the end-of-quarter presentation hoping no one asks hard questions.

One of the things that is wrong with OKRs is that people often focus on the wrong thing. There is a lot of room in how to do OKRs. People pick some of the fringe things and focus on them as if they are the most important thing.

This article cites two of such things.

While many people do say that OKRs should be ambitious, there is no fundamental rule that says that OKRs need to be ambitious. It's perfectly OK to do OKRs where you aim for 100% success. Or you can use OKRs to get the ball moving and overcome static friction on an initiative and be happy at the end of the quarter that things got moving. Or you can aim for 70% completion like many people do. The key thing is that "aiming for 70%" is not a defining characteristic of OKRs. It's one way of doing them, but it is not a defining feature of OKRs.

The article also says that OKRs need to cascade. Again, this is flavor of doing OKRs. OKRs should support higher-level organizational goals. However, making them cascade perfectly through multiple levels of an organization is "hard mode". In many companies, there is a stated top-level goal, and then OKRs need to support it in some way, without necessarily cascading. That's fine. It's also perfectly OK to use OKRs in isolation in some department to advance toward an important goal, even if no one else in the company uses OKRs.

If these are not defining characteristics of OKRs, then what is?

Here's how I implement OKRs on my teams. These are the three golden rules of OKRs:

1. The objective (O in OKRs) sets the direction in which you are going

2. The key results (KRs in OKRs) are the rulers which measure your progress

3. MOST IMPORTANT: You must update your OKRs every week, come hell or high water. If you cannot update the value, add a note about what kept you from updating it, and spend time working on that. This rule is the forcing function that will make your OKRs work well eventually.

Start like that. It's hard enough to follow these core rules. Adding alignment, flowery language, reach goals, and whatever else comes on top of it makes OKRs more complicated. Once you get the basics down and you get a feel for OKRs, you should improve your OKR game. But start small.

So yeah, the way many organizations do OKRs is bullshit. However, OKRs are not bullshit in general.

I'm kind of passionate about OKRs in engineering. I've spent a decade at 15Five building a system for tracking OKRs, and getting teams to use them well. Here are some things I wrote about how to get OKRs working in an engineering team.

I've been doing front for 18 years and I've sill not figure out how to maintain code with the HTML dom structure and CSS rules coupling.

Touch either side, you have to understand the entire codependencies, inheritance rules and edges cases to make any predictions on what will actually happen.

You always can do edit/fix fast cycles, but it always ends up complicating initial code while eroding overall quality.

Good practices to make to whole thing predictable generally fails on edges cases.

Long story short, having each attributes defined, used and moved around independently really really simplify the whole experience, without leaving much things to regret.
Yeah that's not that much, certainly not enough to warrant being called a "massively failing economy", otherwise so too was the US a massively failing economy in the 80s when Japan was buying everything up. Total property assets in the UK are worth £8.7 trillion. It says more about Qatar than it does about the UK, other than that the UK is a liberal capitalist democracy.
I have a comment with my own issues with OKRs but I do want to stick up for OKRs here: this really is a management problem and, let's be honest, they'd have fucked up any framework that was put in place (and a lack of framework would have probably been just as bad!)
I am based in London, UK.

And yes, you are right, Upwork can be a race to the bottom. Since I am based in a rather expensive city, I can't really compete with other developers on price, but I can still compete on offering, expertise, commitment, etc.. So far I managed to find enough clients who are willing to pay extra for a premium service.

Naturally, it also depends on the service you are providing. Luckily, my niche is not as saturated yet.

The other point with companies not willing to hire an individual is something I can relate to as well. And not only in regulated industries. It's mostly startups and small companies I work with at the moment.
