Yeah, but keep in mind he's been in the public eye now for 10-15 years (he started his first company in 2005, joined YC in '11, and became president in '14). If you're sufficiently high profile AND do it for long enough AND get brazen enough about it, it starts to stick, but the bar for that is really high (and by nature that only occurs after you've achieved massive success).
In a non-technical role, the definition of something being “done correctly” ends when the output/result matches the requirements. Whether that be a user experience, reporting, or whatever the requirements are. As long as those are clearly defined, and you can test the application against those definitions, the trust lies in the development team that it was programmed properly.

Any kind of testing should be defined at a high level. What is being tested and what is the expected result? What should trigger an alert?

So, no, but it sucks they use Google in app purchases so they must be anti-consumer

sure, many of mine were the same. and i bet you could have tied that to what you wanted to do in an essay. so to me, that isn't a problem, certainly not a good example of why colleges have their "heads up their asses" (oh and i certainly think they do).

and yes, in fact, volunteering at a hospital should be viewed favorably for pre-med.

and yes, you will be a better student if you play some kind of team sport like softball than if you did nothing.

so perhaps the comment i was replying to made bad arguments? for example, if a school only liked mainstream athletics and ignored anything else (which is probably not a stretch), that would be a better example of "having their heads up their asses".

but the specific examples given were the opposite - they actually make sense.

It does so much to lower the temperature of discussions there. BlueSky is by far my preferred social media platform.
Yes, agreed, healthcare is another great example alongside housing. Healthcare, housing, and education have famously gone up far faster than wages for decades, while gadgets and knickknacks and furniture, etc, have gone down. Hindsight is 20/20 but most people would rather have more security (which is what healthcare, housing, education give) and less luxury (knickknacks, gadgets) than the other way around

I think this still leaves garden leave on the table. The thing that can no longer happen is an employer ending it's relationship with an employee and preventing them from continuing their career after the fact. Garden leave was in fact one of the least bad outcomes of a non-compete as I understand it.
Redditors mostly only look at all technology through the eyes of gaming and nothing else. So because Nvidia cards were relatively cheap compared to the last few years because of cryptomining, of course Nvidia is in dire straits and will be left to the mercy of the almighty gamer.

The en-vogue group think on Reddit now is to show total disdain towards all AI, and insist that the 'AI PC' is solely a marketing tactic for Intel, Dell and Microsoft to sell more computers, mostly because it really seems most people on reddit don't do any work to appreciate the benefits AI can provide to productive people.
We are a capitalist society so we do not like spending too much money in things that are not either clear and immediate threats or stand to make rich people a lot richer relatively quickly.

It should be easy to argue that the chip situation is quite urgent given our over-reliance on computers but I guess there is not enough return yet to prompt action. It might even cost us to do something!
I recently posted my observations about taking an interest in Common Lisp and a few people kindly pointed me to this resource, which was very, very helpful.

If you, like me, are drawn to Lisp because of its reputed elegance, just bear in mind that Common Lisp is probably the least elegant of the Lisps, though probably the most mature. It uses dated mnemonics that won't be intuitive to someone coming from modern languages, and in many ways it's surprisingly hacky. I've been pointed at Scheme, Clojure, and Racket for examples of more elegant Lisps, with Clojure probably being the most day-to-day useful of the three (albeit sadly it runs on the JVM - talk about the Beauty and the Beast).

The two big (but very basic) observations that made Lisp click for me: (A) Those nested parentheses directly indicate the AST of a Lisp program - Lisp syntax doesn't just feature lists, Lisp syntax is those lists (Lisp = LISt Processing). A Lisp program is just a single list made up of other lists. There's almost no other syntax you have to learn. Operators are just functions, which are just lists. (B) Working with a REPL allows you to climb inside of a program in a way that working with an 'Algolian' language doesn't. All the functions are there for you to play with. Using a REPL seems to be iterative; programmers will work in text files (in e.g. emacs) and then jump into a REPL every now and again to test and prod and poke at the code.

Cumulatively, those two insights I think define what is special about Lisps. Since everything is a list, you program by defining more complex lists around simpler lists, which - like Legos - you can freely manipulate with a REPL. This allows you to build programs from the inside out, compared to Algolian languages. You can build all the bits and pieces well before there's any main() method to unite them. It's not theoretically impossible to work with C or Rust like this, but the tooling around Lisp makes this easy and fundamental.

On the flip side of this, how one is meant to distribute finished Lisp programs is very unclear to me. It appears that to ship a Lisp program you basically ship the entire development environment, plus all your source code, and point the former at the entry point to the latter. I'm almost certainly missing something obvious here though, and I'm happy to be enlightened on this point. I honestly don't know how one would distribute a closed-source binary where they don't necessarily want the end user to be able to use a REPL on the code. There appears to be a proprietary compiler called LispWorks that can do this, but with prices in the four figures that's far too dear for a merely intellectual curiosity about Lisp. (There's a hobbyist edition of LispWorks, but my policy is not to spend time learning tools I couldn't turn to professional use.)

> I suspect that's why Twitter is still doing as well as it is participation-wise since the Musk acquisition

Twitter and mainstream social media is still doing well because they have a large network of people that are either non-technical and can't use the fediverse or just can't be bothered.

The Musk acquisition is a storm in a teacup, for the vast majority of people (especially outside the tech circles) nothing changed. Yes it's still a cesspool, there's spam, Nazis and harassment, but that's not a significant difference from what it was before (every high profile tweet was immediately replied to by crypto scam bots even pre-Musk), and the format of the platform has always encouraged polarization, hostility and harassment, so Musk didn't change much there either. Yes it's a cesspool, but it's the same one that people know and (seemingly) love.

> And I am not at all convinced that Waymo is safer than a responsible driver who obeys the speed limit, so forcing driverless cars could very well be more dangerous than limiting the speed of human drivers.

I think the value prop is that AI-driver will not get drunk or tired, not that SOTA AI vs Alert/Good human driver is approximately the same. A good human driver can be distracted/tired/influenced by a substance/emotional, all things that drop their performance.

An AI cannot.
Look up what drivers licensing is like in Japan, for example. Much tougher, in the same way AP Calculus is tougher than Remedial Algebra. Couldn't even pass on an automatic transmission until a few years ago.

Or hell, just compare one US state to another. In Arkansas, I got a driver's license and didn't ever even have to prove I could parallel park. In northeastern states, that would be wild.

Or christ.... even in the US, within a state, compare the requirements for a CDL to a standard class D license. It's, rightly, much tougher. Require every driver to pass to a CDL standard and accidents would go down dramatically (I'm not proposing this exact intervention, just an example).

Require drivers to demonstrate greater skill when taking the examinations, and they will have to have greater skill when driving. Simple. Works everywhere but here somehow.

Sarcasm is very warranted because you failed to do even cursory research and instead assumed that the US is magical, special, unique, and nowhere else could possibly be different.
>Epic’s proposal hurts device manufacturers: Part of the State AG settlement ensures that any app store is free to compete for placement on an Android device. But Epic’s proposal would cut Google Play out of this process, reducing competition and therefore enabling rival app stores to underbid. This would reduce what OEMs can earn from pre-installation and placement on their devices, cutting into already narrow OEM margins in a way that could raise consumer prices.

Yea sure, apps stores are 'free to compete' but Google store HAS TO be installed out of the box if you want to have access to GMS services (alongside the entire suite of Google apps).

Let's not play dumb here and pretend like current status quo isn't heavily favorable for Google
Twice this year, I've paid the highest prices I've ever paid for tickets to shows. First, I paid something like $300 each for tickets to see the band Air. Sure, they're popular (among people who like their genre, at least) and from France and rarely tour. I could justify it cause I've only seen them once and might not get another chance, but holy smokes. Then I bought tickets to see comedian David Cross. Who is American. Playing in America. To get in the tenth row cost over $1000 for four tickets.

I know that Ticketmaster's role is to play the bad guys and most artists are in on the scam because they get some of the "fees" without the blame. But this is ridiculous. I found some old tickets that I saved as mementos and some were as low as $20. I saw someone posted pics from a show in the 80s that was $5. This is just absurd.

Take them down. As one of my favorite bands would say (Floyd) "cut them into little pieces."

That's ridiculous, it's not every single time.

The examples you list are because of drivers blatantly breaking the law.

If a pedestrian walks across the road without giving way and only manages to backtrack because they heard a vehicle, that's a near miss that is the fault of a pedestrian not the driver.

Drivers do not have all the responsibility in all cases.

It's impossible to lose money you don't bet. I don't understand this mentality. If you have a 30k portfolio... fine bet the 5-10k... even if you lose it you're fine.

Ah the sunk cost fallacy. Having an exit strategy is important. Never beat yourself up for an appropriate exit strategy.
Two articles on Quilt hitting the front page? Compare the specs on these units to brands that make mini-splits you want - Quilt is either hiding performance numbers intentionally or because they think their target market doesn't care.

But, nobody who lives in colder climates should buy these given the lack of technical specs Quilt provides. Look at my comment the other day in another thread comparing the Quilt to a GE unit. The Quilt is subpar - especially on the heating side.
I agree that they need a way to get signal. But resumes have never been a great way to get it - they just happen to be so cheap and every other signal so expensive at top-of-funnel that they've become the norm.

It's a vicious cycle. There's too much volume so we can't interview everyone, we can't interview everyone so candidates are incentivized to be spammy, so there's even more volume and we even more can't interview everyone. It's essentially the same reason that the old boomer "oh just walk in the door and hand them a resume" approach doesn't work anymore - it's too easy and therefore too spammy.

I used to be part of the leadership of one company working on this problem, and just founded another very recently, so it's something I've thought a lot about. I really think the thrust of the problem is:

* Signal is expensive to get, because

* The volume per candidate is too high

...and that the solution is to centralize early screening so you can get good signal. Which is what we're doing. Remains to be seen if it works, obviously.
I think it is more like wearing two polo shirts…

CAS (or If-Match, If-None-Match) is something that is atomic but localized to a single key. You don’t have to provide any additional consistency guarantees beyond what S3 already provides. You are providing a couple new atomic operation with the same radius as existing operations—everything is already atomic on a single key, you’re just adding conditions to those operations.
I like Cloudflare, but this is also what makes me skeptical. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and I've had the rug pulled out from underneath me many times before. I wish they at least charged a sustainable amount for egress, because I feel like it's coming eventually.

This can be good advice, except that it tends to create a correlation between one's portfolio (unless you're shorting) and one's profession. So if your industry tanks, you could find yourself laid off and with a slashed portfolio.
>Minimum wage has always trailed living wage

Hidden in this is an assumption is that everyone is more than more productive than the "living wage" (whatever that is). In a country that has high living costs and is facing competition from developing countries with far less living costs, I think it's fairly reasonable to say there's a non-negligible population where this assumption doesn't hold. What about those people? For them, raising the minimum wage to the living wage won't increase their income, it'd make it $0 because there's no point in hiring them.

>Yet more "privatize profits, socialize the costs".

You realize I explicitly mentioned "welfare/UBI" in my previous comment? Or do you somehow think it's bad for the government to forcibly transfer wealth by taxing people/companies and then distributing through welfare/UBI, but it's somehow okay for the government to forcibly transfer wealth by mandating that companies pay their workers more?
I don't feel like the cause of most (all?) memory safety bugs has been "massively exaggerated".

Adobe Photoshop already checks for currency/money. And their AI extensions certainly check for “inappropriate” material. And there is a disclaimer on their cloud storage service that it can be searched.

While true, it doesn't mean they were offering a better alternative.
"them" refers to the "important protections" that Google would supposedly need to remove. It's written that Google can still block malware and bad app stores, although that's probably a judgement call that'll be expensive to litigate?
FWIW: The Helm chart has network policy in place:

https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm/blob/main/charts/argo-...

If you're using a CNI that supports network policy (e.g. AWS VPC CNI on EKS, Calico, etc.), I think this should more or less cover you, but I haven't personally tested it.

I think it's also probably a better practice to install "control plane" type software like Argo on a different, dedicated cluster. Argo supports this concept (and can in fact manage deployments in multiple clusters remotely). This way your main mission workloads are completely segmented from your privileged control plane software. Just as another defense-in-depth measure

it's only a cost because the budget for building things like toll-roads considers the future revenue of fines as one of the payback streams.

fwiw I think it's a a stretch to call it a cost, it's a sympathy move. More like "City fails to fine those who violate toll-road regulations.", but then you lose the in-grained sense of outrage that a headline that makes it sound like you personally are the one helping to foot the bill these people produces.
I have two older sisters. They are way older than me, which means they left for college when I was very young (when I was bout 5 or 6). I don't think they went through the same stuff as me, but still lived through a lot of very fucked up shit. We live in the same city and are very close, we see each other for their kids birthday and all of that. I'm very lucky to have them.

I know why my mother had me years later, because when my father was angry he would yell at my mother "it's you who wanted another, so take care of him", but with more vicious insults. It turns out that when my mother had her first pregnancy, she was supposed to have a son but had a miscarriage in the toilet. I think this pretty much explains her using me to satisfy her emotional needs all the time; I literally was her emotional garbage can. Telling me how she feels like an ATM for the family, how she's lonely and not taken seriously by others; things that a husband have to deal with, not a child.

So anyway, my sisters began to extended family members about what happened in our house when they were young and also of what happened to me. Like me, it probably took them years to unshame themselves and flip the culpability unto the abusers. It created a scandal I think in the extended family, although always very hush hush, as is usual in small rural places.

My parents probably got a word of what my sisters told about them and then when my oldest sister got her first child, it was actually my parents who stopped talking to them. They never told me why they stopped talking to my sisters, but we figured it out. For some reason that enraged my father and forced my mother to stop talking to them but not to me. After a few years I got tired of seeing them trying to play nice and burning bridges after bridges with other family members and family friends, and I decided to cut them off. Although my sisters never made any kind of ultimatum, I could see how my parents were throwing a wrench between my and my sisters by only talking to me and not to them.

There are more details to this sordid story. It really could make for a full TV drama episode; these people love drama and being the victim. Don't fall for their game.
