Good testing is hard to do - coverage is not a categorical good. You can easily write too many tests that calcify programs and basically just creates a change-detector program. Oh it looks like you changed something, oh no - all the tests are broken, but it's okay we can now ask the LLM to regenerate them! 100% Coverage! Amazing! What progress!
If I were in your situation (which granted I am not) and mood swings related to blood sugar was a concern, I would pick up a simple finger-prick blood testing kit. It is fast, safe and most of all very accurate. That would then either put my mind at ease or convince me to see a doctor.

Again, having what might be very inaccurate measurements of blood sugar won't help in this case either, I fear.
I think it’s a bit disturbing that the author gets an answer that is entirely made up from the model, even goes so far as to publish it in an article, but still says it’s all so great.
My email correspondence with Satoshi in 2009-2011
Yeah, I like this bit: "The bibliography of the whitepaper discloses a stunning paucity of knowledge about historic precursors... at the time of writing the Bitcoin whitepaper; this may either indicate a lack of interest in compliance with good academic practices, a disrespect or personal aversion against certain pioneers, or a sheer unfamiliarity with the state of the art..."

Edited to add: I didn't realize until now that Sassaman only finished his master's degree in 2008. Based on some of the work that I see from master's students (albeit none as brilliant and passionate as Sassaman) with thin lists of references, this makes Sassaman a more likely candidate in my mind.
1 hour per week of increased coding is a 5-7% boost in productivity, using the Amazon guidelines for how SDEs use their time — 50%/20hrs for SDE1 and 33%/13hrs for SDE3.

Is that enough to be competitive?

I’m not sure — but at scale that would be a 5% reduction in headcount for the same work, or ~$12M/yr for every 1,000 engineers.

If you can figure out how to get 2-3 hours more coding done a week, we’re talking real gains.
One of my startup jobs paid us through ADP. While our ADP account was being set up, my boss told us to be on the lookout for an email from them. So one day, I'm in the middle of programming something, and I check my email. Lo and behold, there is an email from ADP... or is it? It is about fifty words long and contains five grammatical errors. It's asking me to fill out the attached PDF and email it back. The PDF is asking for my full name, address, phone number, SSN, and so on. I figure this may be some kind of phishing attempt, so I ignore it and get back to my work. If it's real, I'll hear about it again, right? Well, two weeks later, my boss tells me amazedly, "Hey, Bill from ADP is still waiting for your information! Why didn't you reply to him?!?!" I laughed and told him why.

As a bonus, when I was finally put into the system, they managed to get my zip code, phone number, and SSN wrong. At ADP, quality is job zero.
I don't write Perl or Ruby anymore, but this would have been immensely helpful back then.

The incentives at meta around code production are all wrong. The team behind this is absolutely gearing this around lines of code and number of diffs produced. This'll just be another codegen tool creating another mountain of code that is difficult to debug.

Yeah, my pup gets very excited when my wife comes home and can even tell the sound of her car before she sees it. But... I can tell her, "mom's home!" and she'll get very excited and start running between the front and the back door, when "mom" is actually sitting right next to me in full view.

On the other end of the intelligence scale, I've got a buddy with a pup who I once told to get a stick, which he dutifully did and when I said, "no, not that stick, the one by the ball" he quickly dropped it and went and got the one by the ball. You can also tell him which color ball to get and he will.

> my phone keyboard autocorrect has the intelligence of a slug

iOS 17 already uses a local LLM under the hood for autocorrect and text suggestions. Responses to the change (at least for people who actually noticed it) have been pretty universally positive.

It's funny how this starts to sound more and more like just Marxism.

That's a pretty bold statement. Not economical with current technology? Sure. Not physically possible, at all? I strongly doubt it, and I would love to know the reason for thinking it.

I adore that show so much. I have this sticker on my laptop.

If you haven't seen Bojack Horseman, it's funny and heartfelt. Palpably existential. If that kind of thing speaks to you, you owe yourself a watch.

In terms of a complete animation package, I think it easy outdoes Futurama. There's so much relatable depth to it. It hits hard, but it stays lighthearted enough to make you feel good about it.

As it turns out, I'm now working on filmtech, so that "Hollywoo" sticker fits me even better now.
They can also be taught certain distinctions within a class after having recognized the class itself.

For instance my pup picked up pretty early on that it’s big fun to chase birds. Where we lived at the time there were few crows (I honestly don’t recall seeing any), and when we moved to Seattle where crows are many she of course wanted to chase them too. But since I know that it’s better not to make crow enemies, I taught her not to chase them specifically. She now recognizes (usually) that crows are off limits, but still understands that other birds are generally fair game. (I don’t know if she’s also picked up on the fact that the crows recognize her too, but they definitely do.)
Thanks! I’m checking this out.

> If you consume a lot of ultraprocessed foods, reducing your intake can be a sustainable approach. Short-term research has shown that those who consume mostly ultraprocessed foods tend to eat more and gain more weight than those who consume minimally processed foods, though Dr. Hall acknowledged that a lack of time, money and access to whole foods are all potential barriers to making this change.

Nearly 75% of adults (over 20 y/o) in the USA are overweight or obese. Are time, money and access the reason for that many of those? Or is it something else?

Yes, there are (mostly) urban food deserts, but I live in the 'berbs on the East Coast. I see overweight and obese in *the supermarket* all the time. These people have time, money and access.

Sorry. I wasn't claiming Elon made Twitter more appealing, but rather was trying to point out that when management changed so did the bias.

I realize my poor grammar made it difficult to fully capture what I was trying to say.

My core argument is that I have now seen twice what looks like Yishan making excuses for moderation decisions that fall outside most people's discourse window.

I also am not making claims about what makes more money. It could possibly be true that people with a particular political pursuasion are more likely to convert.

I assume the breach of trust ended the marriage regardless.

It's more "don't report someone else breaking the law, keep your job as you're now single".
Forget the marriage for a minute, that part depends totally on the marriage itself. Just on her, the reward for doing the right thing is getting punished slightly less? Maybe? I don't even think that the SEC would be able to make a good case against her if she simply plead the 5th on the stand. She didn't profit and had no involvement with the crime itself.

And besides, her doing the right thing solely benefits BP here. It looks like just a large corporation using someone who actually cares about them and then throwing them away. Why should future people in the same position ally themselves with a known defector?
That's the Standard Libertarian Reply, and in some cases it's the one I stand with, but... no, not for this. A label which everybody knows will be ignored (when was the last time you read the EULAs of your software start-to-finish) by people who then inevitably go on to die because their smartwatch gave them a wrong number should not be allowed.

> Or perhaps we should ban everything that can enable "the stupid" to harm themselves.

Once again this is a case of people holding absolutist principles when there is no need, or benefit, to do so. We can and should use rational cost-benefit analysis to decide what to allow and what to forbid. What's the benefit of allowing non-diabetics access to inaccurate blood sugar measurements? Minimal: a couple people have mentioned speculative uses about mood or energy level, but that's about it. What's the harm? Colossal: it's a near-certainty that many people will die. This is a no-brainer.

Note that by contrast, the calculus for allowing somewhat-inaccurate EKG measurements on the Apple Watch is in favor of allowing it: nobody is going to live or die on an inaccurate heartbeat trace from their watch, as they can for a blood glucose measurement, so, sure, why not. Again: black-and-white principles is not the correct mode of analysis here.
> All that said, a majority of candidates can be filtered out within 15 minutes

If I interviewed six candidates, usually one would obviously be head and shoulders above the other five. If I interviewed twelve, two would be. I saw this across various companies over the years. About 15% clearly know more than the other 85%.

Also I found I usually could tell this within three questions. If I asked three questions, and the person being interviewed either stumbled over some of the first three, or had a shallow understanding of the topics, I never saw them recover afterward - if they had no or a shallow understanding on the first three questions, so it would be on subsequent questions. I could have wrapped it up after the third question for most people. Once I became aware of this, I still gave them a chance (which never bore fruit), but I began thinking how fast could I wrap up an interview where they had come in without seeming impolite.
Not to be a skeptic or anything, but how do we know normal maps etc weren’t enriched into the datasets by the image gen companies?

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I am developing on macOS so I have yet to face the Linux issues, but I have already faced a few issues on macOS, that require editing some plists file (switching media outputs for example), which made me "sigh" a couple of times.

In Electron, I got my fair share of Linux issues, but nothing critical (tray appearing twice, this kind of things).

This is the Electron paradox: this is the best platform to develop cross-platform apps, because it just works. Yet people hate it (for valid reasons).
> After all things seemed to work fine before credit scores. Perhaps we put too much "stock" in them in the first place. There has to be better ways to manage this.

The old way to do it, pre-credit score, is that they would take a look at your zip code, take a look at the color of your skin, and decide if you were a "trustworthy individual"
Correct, we are super early so there is no self-serve yet.

The primary usecase for this is serving features for ML inference (since eventual consistency is ok and sacrificing write latency for reads is a fair tradeoff). Right now, this is done by using a traditional client-server DB at the moment (Redis/DynamoDB/etc) - or if you're a big tech company that cares about latency you can implement this on your own (https://doordash.engineering/2022/05/03/how-we-applied-clien...).

As far as self-hosting goes - yes writes will be definitely faster. IKV is fully open source so we're not opposed to it, just haven't figured out the details yet (since self hosting will mostly be useful to very large usecase)

At the core, we use in-memory hashmaps that reference memory-mapped files. So, when a dataset doesn't fit in RAM - it spills to disk automatically.

Cold start - the database is seeded with a "base image", that is built periodically by the backend. That's how a user can add new nodes to their cluster, and still avoid any RPCs.

That being said, if you don't have 10TB of disk, you have to partition IKV (and by extension your application). We support partitioning by allowing documents (the data) to declare partitioning keys. If one shard/partition cannot fit on disk - the store won't startup.
Sure it is, this problem has been solved for a long time: SCIM. Any modern idp should support SCIM and if the app doesn’t I’d question using it at all.

His identity has been known for quite some time. His first name is Robin, and he used the alias Robin Banks for a while, which eventually became Banksy.

This is the area where I grew up.
The Angel is not just that corner, it's that whole neighborhood, although it is named after The Angel pub (which no longer exists). The Angel extends from the corner pictured, north to Islington Green, and includes the surrounding streets on either side.

Notably, Angel Tube Station actually moved in 1992, when London Transport opened a new station and entrance along the line, equipped with a long escalator, and they closed the old entrance around the corner which had a big lift.
For some reason, Apple Maps stubbornly refuses to use the new location and marks the entrance on the wrong street. Google Maps gets it right.
I'd just go to the doctor.
Thing is most people don't actually care, and individual measurements are usually just vanity metrics. We already know that fructose is poisonous. We already know that processed foods are engineered to keep you hungry. But people eat this stuff anyway. I no longer use fitness devices, and the people I know who use them are almost always in suboptimal health and make no progress, no matter how many "steps" or "calories" their devices claim they are producing.

Stop eating poison and one's health usually improves – no tech needed. Better yet if you give your body adequate time to dig in to its own fat stores.

People want easy solutions and to feel smart. Smart watches and Oura rings claim exactly that. Don't research, don't think – just hit a reductive number so your watch can tell you you're "on track" and give you permission to eat some Cheetoes and coke.
I also know this, because I accidentally added a huge media file and `git add .` took too long to return and then `.git` was huge lol

In finance circles, the word you are using for "earnings" is usually called "net income" (or "net income for common stockholders"). When people say "earnings" they usually are referring to "earnings per share".

In short: net income is total, "earnings" is "per share"
Is that a real question? There are about infinity reasons one might decide to stop paying for a service.
I also have been programming for 14 years, whole career is spent on Android and iOS development, with a sprinkle of small web and API projects in between experiences. The difficult part is the annual deprecation and introduction of new features, APIs, phone, tablet, and OS versions. The early years this might be exciting but in my 14 years of Google IO and WWDC, it’s just hard to keep up with all the shiny stuffs.

I read three or four books in 2023 on "health" (e.g., Exercised, Burn, and The Comfort Crisis) and my takeaway was: The best way to lose weight is to never put it on in the first place. Else, the body is very reluctant to give up what might be life saving calories.

Also, if you put on weight then - baring a medical condition - your diet + lifestyle has been abnormal. The idea that you can diet and exercise to lose weight and eventually go back to your "normal" diet + lifestyle is foolish at best.

Dieting + exercise isn't the problem. The normalization or abnormal is.
App stores also reject apps that insist on permissions that are out of their scope.

Hey, thanks very much for the tip! I did some (random) searches and found, for example, this 7 pound device[1] that offers 300W output, 256Wh capacity, and 30ms failover at $180. Seems like a great little device that could serve a dual purpose as both a UPS and also a camping/project power supply if you can't have/don't want a gas generator. They claim a 10-year lifetime of the battery and 80% capacity after ~3000 cycles, which seems hard to believe, but maybe LiFePO4 is really some sort of miracle material.

I work with newly-released prisoners and homeless people who are mostly on free Lifeline phones. They typically get 15GB of data a month. This is used up in 2-3 days on average. After that they can sometimes get 2G data, but it is impossible to use Google Maps to get to an interview, or even to download their email or fill out a job application online. Because the phone is no longer useable they often get lost or stolen.

I regularly come across web sites with >250MB home pages these days. It doesn't take many of those to kill your entire data allotment.

Good call-out. The globalization vs nationalization dichotomy is inherently linked to populism in the discussion, at least here in the US. Starting from about ~50 years ago:

1. Owner class outsources manufacturing operations to cut labor costs (i.e. globalization)

2. Working class loses stable full-time union jobs with good pay and benefits, relegated to part-time minimum wage service jobs with no benefits (from the Chrysler factory to the Arby’s drive-thru)

3. Working class voters support leaders who advocate restoring manufacturing job sector, controlling immigration, regulating the “fat cat” owner class

4. Owner class labels working-class advocates as “populist” and their anti-globalization stances as “nationalist”

So they’ve always been associated in my mind, and many others who grew up in this era.

People may not think of Trump as a working-class advocate (and I would agree). But the truth is that he leveraged the nationalist sentiment tied to the loss of strong employment opportunities for working people, promising to bring manufacturing jobs back and control immigration. On those two fronts, he and Bernie Sanders were more aligned than either were with so-called “corporatist” politicians on either side of the aisle in Washington. Hence both were labeled as populists, along with leaders like AMLO in Mexico and Johnson in the UK
Because people keep voting for them.
