Yeah, I suspect that ordinarily that's the way to do it, if you were already into the interview process with someone (or the company had actively recruited them, or there was some special referral).

We can't necessarily offer useful feedback, but the optional call can at least provide the opportunity for a personal touch and fellow-human decency, with the person having a chance to compose themselves first and think about anything they want to ask or add.

If the candidate is one you really don't want to talk with again (e.g., got unambiguously jerky in an interview, or seems a high risk of flipping out and trying to sue), the rejection email doesn't have to offer a call.

While the article mentions Bush's motivation, I feel it's incomplete without the context that 263 / 270 (97%!) of US Republican congress voted for this invasion.[0] It wasn't some lone White House decision.

The House Democrats still had a majority that voted against. (61%)

Except that he doesn't acknowledge other points of view:

>As much as people want to believe, LLMs are not intelligent by any stretch.

Acknowledging other points of view would have sounded more like "People are free to believe what they want, but LLMs don't strike me as intelligent."
I permanently mute my iPhone and then I added "Emergency Bypass On" ringtones on the contacts that I care about so I hear when they call no-matter-what.

Otherwise, I call back when I am available.
It doesn’t. But it might be impossible for us to tell in general that a human wrote something rather than an LLM. The Turing test is toast.
I think those scenarios are exactly where feedback could be valuable to the candidate. If the panel didn't feel the love, why so? If I get a low score on a coding test I am already going to realise that its going badly right there in the test so feedback is less valuable.

To be fair: my current approach is Immich saving photos on a single external USB SSD disk (1TB) plus daily backup on Backblaze (approx 5$/month). To maintain the same setup on Gphotos I would be paying radically more (obviously now I'm "paying" with the risk of a lower MTBF)

Iraq wasn’t about revenge. They did Afghanistan for that. He (or at least Cheney) was plotting to invade Iraq before 911. It was just an excuse to do something they already wanted to do. And they knew full well Iraq had nothing to do with al qaeda or 911.

They also knew they didn’t have WMD. Who would attack a county that could deliver WMD in 15 minutes or whatever that ludicrous claim was. Why do you think no-one’s talking about invading North Korea?

I believe that these issues were handled by retainers historically. You would employ someone, then that persons children and so on. Thus some knowledge of these problems was built-up over time.

Unfortunately, if wealth inequality continues growing - these will be the most lucrative problems to solve. I'd be quite interested in whether there have been studies of where market forces begin to stop existing.

I know why! Because then the surveillance, privacy infringement, and gross overreach are obvious and in your face, and the culprit is clear! But they want to keep it discreet, like it's just a happy accident that you have no privacy left.
> Imagine how much good you could do with that money.

With £10M? I mean, some good, surely. But not really a lot. Is there something you have in mind, specifically?

This kind of logic is just jealousy. "They have money I don't and spend it on things I don't value" is true of every entity wealthier than you. It's true of your consumption too: how many $7 lattes have you purchased that could have fed a whole family, as it were? It's true of corporations and bureaucracies and governments too, which is why libertarianism is so tempting.

But there's no world where everyone agrees on what stuff we should value, just like there's no world (or at least no feasible world) where people aren't able to spend wastefully, because both of those are at their core subjective decisions.
I contend that a minimal amount of regulation is required to maintain the dynamic tension between buyer, seller, and marketplace.

I remember visiting DEC/Compaq WRL (which originated Alta vista) as a new grad student, and seeing my internship mentor at DEC SRC quit after my internship and go to a new search engine startup in Palo Alto that wasn’t Alta visa (it worked out really well for him).

But ya, wiki was magic when it came out, and it got better over time, but still not perfect. This is similar, it is going to have an impact even if it has lots of flaws.
I simply think that you have poor understandings of boundaries.

Setting aside the remarks about Apple vs EU regulators, which, by the way I think are in bad taste, but I won't get into it here because then we might get distracted, I think that the people who are angry because "it's more like a child ... a normal battery" are wrong because Apple has been transparent from the start about how their ecosystem works and before people invest in this ecosystem.

It's not like Apple mislead a bunch of people to the effect of "one can use standard AAA batteries in this toy" to close a sale and then told them something to the effect of "sorry, it only accepts proprietary batteries".

Therefore, I think that you have poor understandings of the boundaries of these relationships.
It’s about using the best information you have to quantify and systematize risk.
I think the comprehensive solution is to insert an AI-powered agent 'shim' between us and the current user-interaction layer. Apart from the implementation, which is nontrivial, there are two problems:

1) This will be massively resisted by the current oligopoly of Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook. Eg, you could run a simulated Android phone, but licences prevent you from installing the google play store etc on it. And it's even worse with Apple.

2) how to prevent it from degenerating into another monopoly/oligopoly.

> you're a Rust zealot; that explains it.

I bet you were one of those people that dismissed anyone that liked the iPhone as being an Apple fanboy.

You know people really like Rust because it's good right? I'm curious what other reason you think people have for promoting it?

Even the White House says you should use Rust instead of C++. Are they Rust zealots?
You likely have a setting for fan ramp time in your bios, usually in seconds. So setting your pump to always run at 100% and your fans to ramp slowly, say 10 seconds or longer, and using a minimum fan speed that is as high as tolerable would likely work as a no-additional-code solution.
Not even at 95% efficiency? I think it was a hypothetical, not a current consideration.
Genuine question: I've known the law of "pea sized amount" for thermal paste for 20 years or so. Does it still hold true for modern (and larger) CPU dies? I haven't upgraded in a long time so genuinely don't know, but also wouldn't want to use outdated knowledge!
What incredible good fortune. Finding a fossil has been on my bucket list for years.
Message switching did evolve. The next step for Western Union was InfoMaster, using RCA mainframe computers in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Francisco. There was a Western Union international gateway in Mawah, NJ, with UNIVAC mainframe computers.

The best known successor to Plan-55A was Sendmail, which is a store and forward message switch for email. It serves the same basic function, forwarding entire messages as a unit from station to station until they reach the delivery point.
In some ways I see parallels to space debris in LEO that create growing risk for navigating that space and finding anything up there.
Another thing I've had great success with on my AMD 7700X is to use AMD Ryzen Master to reduce the TDP.

The chip comes to consumers overclocked by default with a TDP of 105W. I suspect this is the case so that it can beat Intel on benchmarks on "default" settings.

You can set it to "eco mode" and have it run at 65W or 45W TDP. Under load, this only results in like a 5% reduction in performance for a dramatic reduction in electricity consumption, fan speed, heat, etc.

Not sure if the 5500x series chips are overclocked but using eco mode could be a good approach.
> It's an appropriate choice when you have a team of k8s operators full-time to manage it.

Are you talking about a full self-run type of scenario where you setup and administer k8s entirely yourself, or a managed system or semi-managed (like OpenShift)? Because if the former then I would agree with you, although I wouldn't recommend a full self-run unless you were a big enough corp to have said team. But if you're talking about even a managed service, I would have to disagree. I've been running for years on a managed service (as the only k8s admin) and have never had a severe outage caused by K8s
If Kubernetes is the answer ... you very likely asked the wrong questions.

Reading about JamSocket and what it does, it seems that it essentially lets you run Docker instances inside the Jamsocket infrastructure.

Why not just take Caddy in a clustered configuration, add some modules to control Docker startup/shutdown and reduce your services usage by 50%? As one example.
Looks pretty cool, the self-calibration routine is very nice too.

My only worry is that rapid changes in pump speed might cause extra mechanical stress or wear on the pump, but I have no data to back that up. I've just heard that water pumps sometimes behave in counter-intuitive ways - e.g: sometimes running at a higher speed is better for longevity than a lower one.
I had the same impression. Some of the crest points of this bird seem to mutate into background leaves in a part of the photo. The eye lies in a strange place also. That photo is strange.

... But I can be wrong and is really easy to prove it.

If they really have captured the bird, they should have taken some genetic material in the process. Entangled birds lose feathers all the time.
I'm wondering to what extend the positive productivity that people report when working high are due to the momentary mental relief from psychological pain (anxiety, depression, negative self thoughts) and the general mood enhancement.

Such positive effects could outweigh the decline in cognitive performance observed in this paper. For example, let's say that being high has a -0.2 effect on cognitive performance, but a +0.5 effect on alleviating psychological pain, then the user is still +0.3 overall.

Too bad treating psychological issues through substance use is not a winning strategy in the long term (due to habituation), but maybe temporary and occasional substance use can be a helpful stepping stone toward finding more sustainable alternative strategies, although the dangers of addiction are a big risk too, so it could go either way.
I’m constantly fascinated by people who think they need on prem global infrastructure when the vast majority of applications both have very loose latency requirements (multiple seconds) or no users outside of the home country.

Two datacenters on opposite sides of the US from different providers will get you more uptime than a cloud provider and is super simple.

You clearly didn't read my comment. We know the recordings exist, that's indisputable. How securely are they stored? How do I know the government isn't selling those recordings to third parties to make a quick buck? How would you know that a conversation you had with nobody around isn't going to leak online and be scrutinized by god knows who? I don't care one way or the other what the government thinks of what I say, but I don't trust them to secure their systems and protect my privacy more broadly, and you shouldn't either. The system could just as easily do exactly what it says (detect gunshots) and NOT save recordings, but that's not the case.

This is why options traders (prototypical ones at least, I suspect most trading is still directional) trade on the implied volatility, as a projection of future volatility.

You take a view on volatility by buying or selling an option, if you are right then you will make money proportional to the options gamma (i.e. the convexity of the option is where the money comes from)
Sure but

1. In that case posting the source code to GitHub is less useful

I don't think it is fair and I do know the difference between a regulated product and an ad hoc (mis)use of ChatGPT. I just do not think you can blame OpenAI for doctors (or other professionals) ignoring the warning they are presented with.

Saying "AI will cure cancer" is like saying "science will cure cancer" or "doctors will cure cancer". In general, all three statements are true about technological progress.

> Second, AI is used to disproportionately benefit the privileged while worsening inequality.

That's bullshit. Computers and other gadgets always start out as toys of the rich, but they quickly trickle down to everyone else. Compare the multi-thousand dollar cell phone of the 80s use by the rich to the multi-dollar cell phones of today used by billions. I don't mind if billionaires spend their money on AI now so that the R&D results in cheap AI in a decade that can be used by everyone.

The author also goes and lists people harmed by computer problems without provide a benchmark of the number of people similarly harmed by human problems.
Diminishing returns. What extra risk do you take at $1b versus 100m? Now 10b vs 1b? Now 100b vs 1b?

Now, 1m vs 100k.

We should focus our systems on increasing more people from 100k to 1m rather than 10b to infinity.
I've found that searching my email for "black friday" throws up lots of candidates for unsubscribing.

As an aside, a few months back I dropped a new email address on the net as a mailto: link and it hasn't received a single spam email yet. I think maybe scraping for emails is dead.
"I mean, when you see the principal renting a chalet and spending over £1 million on a week’s holiday, and then you look at the full spectrum of the household, it can be jarring. You’ve got the housekeepers who might’ve come from a less developed country"...

Absolutely disgusting.

I like my exploited labor to be hidden through two or at least three layers of abstraction so that I don't have to feel sick about it: like electronics or clothing or produce harvesting or ... just about everything produced at scale. But scale feeds the wealth of billionaires' theft so my sarcasm is ourobourean.

I seem to recall reading a book about this back in the 2000's. Wealth was split into three groups:

1-10 million

10-100 million

100-1000 milllion+

The first group tends to be very conservative, as they worked extremely hard to amass that wealth (recall this book is from like 2003, not today where there are over a million millionaires in the US, albeit paper).

The second group tends to be inherited wealth and is more liberal.

The third group is absolutely cuckoo bananas. Once you cross the into the near-billion/billion range, you live in a bizarre fantasy world curated to your every whim.

Maybe David Brooks wrote it? I can't for the life of me remember, but it was fascinating. There was a woman who paid a young lady $100k a year to sprinkle birdseed around her house so that her indoor cats would be able to watch the birds. And there were a number of stories of kitchen staff servers who do nothing but show up and serve food in highly choreographed ways, but still need to go to a finishing school for a year to do this.

Also saying “AI will cure cancer” is like saying “our children will solve climate change”.

I mean on the surface it seems like the answer is “yeah, probably”, but you’re saying nothing of how exactly.

NixOS. I have no clue about kubernetes, but I think NixOS even goes much deeper in these points (e.g. kubernetes is at the "application layer" and doesn't concern itself with declaratively managing the OS underneath, if I understand right). The other points seem much more situational, and if needed kubernetes might well be worth it. For something that could be a single server running a handful of services, NixOS is amazing.
Right, but that requires downloading a file, which on an older OS you shouldn't do except from sources you absolutely trust.

I really don't think there's anything wrong with browsing the internet.

It's interesting to see the differences - the Interlisp machine is pretty much a "graphical workstation" which is recognizable today, though in monochrome; the CADR is more spartan on the GUI side.

I am slowly learning Lisp and have the Interlisp VM running on my system, and it executes very quickly on even 10 year old hardware; which of course is 1000 or more times faster than what it originally ran on.

I actually disagree with that. Exceptions have their problems when used for error handling, but they are a great solution for error not-handling, and normally index out of bounds is a bug that you can't / don't want to recover from. Exceptions will bubble up and unwind the stack, cleaning things up by running destructors. In other languages they will also display a nice little backtrace, though in c++ it seems thats not typically done for reasons that are beyond me.

No GPT is trained to spit out anything that falls into its training data distribution.

There's no average. Pre-training incentives being able to predict the smartest string of text in the corpus as readily as the dumbest. It doesn't converge on "average" and it doesn't really make sense that it would either.

Base models don't talk like GPT. This is strictly an artifact of post training fine-tuning/RLHF.
