Ah, I see. You've changed from talking about concepts and conceptual understanding to talking about computations.

I completely agree with you that from the perspective of a quantum information theorist computing the spectrum of the hydrogen atom is a rather complicated thing. I disagree wholeheartedly that this is part of the essence of quantum mechanics.

The hydrogen atom is one system, understanding conceptually that its behavior is governed by a self-adjoint operator and its spectrum is very relevant to the whole of quantum physics. Understanding exactly the details of the calculation I think are not. Especially because if you do the calculation within quantum mechanics without quantum field theory you will obtain a somewhat incorrect result anyway (you will miss interesting phenomena like Lamb shift).

Similarly interference is an interesting phenomenon that one needs to understand to understand quantum mechanics, but understanding the specific calculation of how interference makes nice patterns in some example setup isn't particularly enlightening.

I agree that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is important, but it certainly be derived from Aaronson's point of view (e.g. the standard Robertson-Schrödinger inequality is easily obtained).

As an aside, I also think that self-adjoint operators and the correspondence principle are a fairly terrible way to think about observables in quantum mechanics. An obvious fact is that every measurement of (for example) the position of a particle has some unavoidable experimental error (our apparatus only has finite resolution) so the thing we actually measure in reality is some fuzzy observable which can not be represented as a self-adjoint operator. A POVM is a much more natural candidate (as a physicist it is natural to assume that the thing you get by adding some classical noise to your measurement is still a measurement).
A lot of that growth is just people moving to heat pumps that can do either, and are perfect for mild climates.

California does have a nice advantage in that it has lots of solar near populated areas that have mild climates (well, that mainly means the LA area).
We invented machine and software to solve such problems. Is that not solving the problem?

What extremely stupid question is that? They didn't choose to get invaded. You think we shouldn't have helped? Pity we're not helping enough.
Not vouching for him, but Trump did alert the Germans about the risk of over relying on Russian energy [1]. He wanted Europe to become independent of Putin years before this crisis. He did not say these things in the most appropriate way, like everything he says, but it didn't seem like he wanted to weaken Europe before Russia, quite the opposite.

Look how many million Russians died during World War 2. Why didn't they surrender to Nazi Germany? You should go lecture Russia with your wisdom.
If we really know the distinction why we don’t have another Einstein ?
I assume you don't mean a micro dose, but a smaller dose. The point of microdosing is to almost not feel the effects of the substance, and recent research has shown that microdosing is largely ineffective (both for the neuroplasticity effects of psilocybin, but also on its effect on DMN; my hunch: the reasons are probably related, but I'm not a neuro scientist!)

Minor things are better than the super popular "I helped create a blockchain app that served 2 billion users and moved 5 trillion dollars per day". Those I legitimately don't care for, and the other answers must be good to make up for it.

Disorganized answers are fine. Technical interviews are a place to talk shop. Run away from interviewers looking for perfection.

Recruiters forward the answer to us, so at least in my case the more techy the better.

The majority of Ukrainians wanted to defend themselves against the invasion so I assume they would answer yes. Yet you act as if they were somehow forced to defend themselves by outsiders. It's bizarre. You should critically review your information diet, you sound unhinged.
Yes, this is a great way to fight against Putin, but...

As a Swedish citizen, I think this means in the future Sweden's forces will be dragged into another Iraq-like war down the line.

Sooner or later the US or NATO will be the Putin of today, and I don't look forward to that.
‘Advertising’ is the business of persuading decision makers to prefer your product over a competitor. That business isn’t going to go away.

If humans outsource their decisionmaking to AI by asking the AI to recommend them a product, then advertising will just have to shift its attention from persuading humans (by interrupting their TikTok dance videos with product pitches) over to persuading AIs that they are the best thing to recommend.

The SEO industry was already theoretically predicated on convincing an algorithm to rank you above competitors - but then it was undermined by the perverse incentives that providing ad inventory is itself a lucrative proposition and content farms are able to compete for the algorithm’s favor as well, meaning actual product providers are having to buy advertising space at auction that will actually be purchased from the sites with the best SEO for what the advertisers sell.

AI is definitely going to disrupt all of that equilibrium, but it’s not going to get rid of advertising. It might eliminate some of the rent seekers who are taking a cut of the ‘product and service discovery’ pie, but it’s going to enable some new rent seekers to move in.
Taken together what you wrote here is a convenient framework for all blame of any possible nuclear exchange to be entirely disconnected from NATO.
What does Gripen have to do with the US military industrial complex? The US isn't the ones sending F-16s anyway.
No? Just because Sweden is a member of NATO doesn't meant they have to just let the US do whatever they want. IF Sweden so chooses to allow US troops to be stationed there, it will be for their own benefit.
The consequences of living in a multilateral world will be very bad for the US.

Right now, the US is the leader in a unilateral world. It is absolutely naive to think that this doesn’t come with huge advantages.

I think the cheap ones aren't. 40 yrs ago you could do it for just the cost of a computer and your time.

But before that, it was the norm.

It's not a simplification. It is abstraction. Binding doesn't imply a particular implementation.

A variable binding can disappear entirely. If you bind var x = 42 and never use it, the variable need not exist. If it doesn't exist, then there is no pointer.

If you do use it, constant propagation/folding can again make the variable disappear. If the variable is never assigned, all uses of it can be replaced with 2.

Variables that care captured by lexical closures can be treated differently from ones that are not. Variables captured by closures but not shared among different closures, or not mutated, can be treated differently from mutated variables shared among closures.

The abstraction of binding is more complicated than "every variable is a memory pointer" because it allows more possibilities, which can coexist.
Having a friend who has represented whistleblowers, etc, yes, this happens.

Sometimes for good reason (you are on a classified project, etc).
Sometimes for bad reason (we don't want anyone to be able to prove anything).

The latter is something bad lawyers suggest. It basically never works to get the company off the hook. I'm not going to say "never never", but most of the time it leads to a situation where it's easy to convince a jury you are malicious and evil.

Even without a jury, i will simply put your peers who don't do that on the stand and make you look like you have a non-standard policy of hiding things.

Or i'll find the human who asked why.
Because in any company of any size, people eventually ask each other why they are being asked to do this, and someone will say the wrong thing ("You know why we do this"). Most of them will not lie for the company because they don't buy it either.

etc

This sort of hiding strategy goes wrong in many many ways, and only goes "right" in a remarkably small set of circumstances.
Sony’s “affordable” global shutter A9 III likely changed the competitive landscape. For photography Z9’s stacked sensor is superb but videography is a different story.

The Great Green Wall is ambitious in scope, but composed of relatively simple parts: capturing rain-water with berms, planting the right kinds of plants in the right order, and creating a system of ecologically sound incentives for people to participate in the project. It's wonderful to learn about.

Andrew Millison, the creator of the linked YouTube video, has an interesting channel where he essentially showcases applications of / advances in ecological technology (i.e., permaculture.) I take some solace in the fact that his videos get millions of views; suggesting that permaculture / ecological design principles aren't some fringe-y thing any more.
The amount of effort (and money) involved in just producing an F1 car is astounding.

Breaking news: Security by obscurity isn't actually security
What does not make sense is we let foreigners invest $500k to buy a green card and ability to live in the US.

But a young, potentially productive and educated student who would ostensibly be looking to start a family and make more productive and more patriotic Americans, who has sunk a couple hundred thousand dollars into our higher education institutions still has to go through the gauntlet to earn the right to live in the US.
I've always been a bit suspicious of infinite-use "private" links. It's just security thru obscurity. At least when you share a Google doc or something there's an option that explicitly says "anyone with the URL can access this".

Any systems I've built that need this type of thing have used Signed URLs with a short lifetime - usually only a few minutes. And the URLs are generally an implementation detail that's not directly shown to the user (although they can probably see them in the browser debug view).
Russia: signed the memorandum guaranteeing Ukraine's borders, sovereignty and independence.

Also Russia: "NATO pinky promised in a discussion between two people no one remembers that it wouldn't expand East, so we're invading Ukraine and threatening you with nuclear war"
Because NATO (for most key decisions) works by full consensus, adding new members (a process which involved Turkey and Hungary using their leverage for concessions, especially Turkey) does not substantially reduce the leverage of existing members (this is also why Russia's bid to move to the front of the line and be admitted ahead of other Easter European applicants, without a readiness process--the real root, not the fact of expansion into Eastern Europe, of Putin's resentment against NATO--was rejected.)
Thank you for the clarification, it seems you put a lot of thought into this. Let's agree to disagree here. You may find this valuable information that's worth sharing, I do not - I think the risks outweigh the benefits.
Have a solid value proposition and communicate it clearly to potential customers. Do this consistently over time, and customers will find you quickly when they need you.
I think you are mistaking stylistic choices for something technical.

Netflix shows look and feel the same because they are shovelware, produced to look and feel the same. This is part of why they have style guides and approved equipment lists, but as far as the sensors are concerned -- any modern sensor is up to the task.

There are no Nikon video cameras on the list because Nikon does not make video cameras, although I guess now they do.

All indications suggest that Russia also wants Odessa and the rest of the black sea coastline, which would probably never be acceptable even with NATO membership.
It seems crazy to me that after we've had so many unintended consequences preventing earth's natural processes using technology, the same crowd is now celebrating using technology to prevent yet another of earth's natural processes. Regardless of your position on the Sahara desert, it's been growing since Roman times.

Personally, I'm in favor of the use of technology to affect the planet, but it seems to me that the public reception to these ideas is mostly around who's doing the deed. Often, when someone in a rich country proposes something like this, the argument will be something about capitalism. However, when a poor country does it, despite it also being about wealth at the end of the day, it's lauded. Now again, I'm totally in favor of all these efforts and totally understand why people do it. It's just a duality I've noticed; and I'm not sure what to think about it.
What if one is using TypeScript?
Dependently typed languages make it even better.

For example, in Lean4:

def myDiv (numerator : Nat) {denominator : Nat} (denominatorNotZero : denominator ≠ 0) : Nat
:=
if denominator > numerator then
0
else
1 + myDiv (numerator - denominator) denominatorNotZero

-- Example usage.
example : myDiv 1 (denominator := 1) (by simp) = 1 := rfl
example : myDiv 120 (denominator := 10) (by simp) = 12 := rfl

You have to submit a proof that the denominator is non-zero in order to use `myDiv`. No monad required ;).
> Which actual AI feature or product will reduce the ads we see?

> it's having interviewed and recommended for hiring several developers who have become top performers

That's actually a great answer.
The trillion-dollar corporations are leading the way, but it's doubtful that they will get to control what sort of AI gets developed over the longer term. I expect that corporations with only tens of billions of dollars, and even universities or charities with single-digit-billions endowments, will eventually be able to develop models that would be considered state-of-the-art as of 2024.

Most of these smaller organizations don't have the same incentives to preserve advertising that the trillion-dollar corporations do. If Microsoft, Meta, or Alphabet think that they're going to dictate AI 10 uses years hence, they're as over-optimistic as those Americans who hopefully predicted in 1945 that the Soviet Union might take another 15 years to build their own atomic bombs. The USSR actually tested their first atomic bomb in 1949.
It's global revenue (all the way up the ownership structure) because that closes one of the world's most obvious loopholes, where you create an EU-based subsidiary that takes a tiny commission for selling products/services from non-EU companies, therefore having minimal revenue to fine. The GDPR fine structure works the same way. Though, 10% is a limit, fines usually start smaller.

If you've read up on BEPS, or most forms of tax-minimization that occur in EU countries, it makes perfect sense that they'd expect that to happen.
Never understood people who believe the narrative of an expanding NATO. The baltics, Poland and other Eastern countries want to join NATO because they have been invaded several times by Russia, women raped, cities plundered, people tortured and killed. That is the reason those countries want to join NATO.
Yes, people share usernames and passwords, but there's no single canonical string, like "username=amanda99&password=hithere". For example most of the time when I share user/pass combos, they are in separate messages on Signal. You type them into two different boxes, so you normally copy the username, then the password in separate actions.

Not GC quotas - the backlog is 2 years now for Chinese nationals

It's EO 10043 [0] that's the blocker.

If you are a Chinese national who is in some way affiliated with tbe Chinese Civil-Military fusion, you cannot get a visa to the US.

This EO is horribly written, as it essentially treats all Chinese universities or programs that get some kind of military funding (even a relatively minor grant) as part of the Civil-Military Fusion, as just about every Chinese STEM program is connected with a State Key Laboratory or the CAS.

It's a Trump era EO that's still enforced.

I think you got a bit confused.

> There is no such organization

There is such an organization, the Linux Foundation is the CNA being the hindrance to these efforts. And yes, they won't perform the role, someone else will and they will be paid for it.

For some that's fine, I find it a significant amount of wasted effort, confusion and potential issues.

In the novel version of "Contact", the billionaire character made his money off of a device called the Adnix. The idea was that it could automatically mute ads on TV.

Mysk used a Flipper Zero to broadcast the WiFi network but notes that the same can be accomplished using a Raspberry Pi or other devices that come with WiFi hotspot capabilities.

I think the Flipper Zero is a super-fun design thing - "what if Teenage Engineering were RF hackers as opposed to audio people" - but there's nothing in the design of the device that poses any more of a security risk than any number of mainstream devices on the market today.

Study great power politics and you will understand what I mean. Russia is a nuclear power. That means no matter how much you dislike them for whatever reasons you don't go giving them the finger. That's like giving the Mafia boss the finger when he has a gun pointed at your head. You might think that's brave defiance but inarguably that will get you killed.

Study the outrage in the USA when Russia put nuclear missiles in Cuba, when Cuba, a sovereign country asked for those missiles (aka The Cuban Missile Crisis). Substitute Cuba for Ukraine and USA for Russia and you will be begin to understand the Russian point of view.
