I am going to chime in here, but my situation is very particular and will not apply to every people, because i am an position were my current manager was my peer for a long time before he was promoted..

When we were peers we were the only two person from our team in our country, so we had a friendly relation as peers that we some how managed to keep when he became my manager..

We never had 1:1s before because we always speak to each other as we need.. We could go whole months with not talking much to each other, often only an occasional checking from him to jokingly ask if i was still alive, on the other hands there were times we would speak several times every day if there was need for it.. We both work fully remote since before he became a manager..

This year our company SVPs are mandating 1:1 for the whole team, so we are doing it every two weeks but our meeting are mostly chit chats with some work stuff here or there when there is something to discuss..

But as someone said above.. if i need something work related from him i will likely reach out and talk to him at the time.. We also have a whole team meeting once a month and most important stuff is discussed in that meeting, we also have a lot of non work chit chat in those, but there is not much left to discuss at 1:1s..

Also the stuff that i would discuss at 1:1 are not usually stuff i need to discuss every two weeks, it is career or pay stuff that i usually need to discuss two or three times per year.

I kind of agree with Jensen Huang on his take, most stuff can be discussed with the whole team, even coaching, the only thing you should only discuss in particular with your manager from you are your personal career and from him is any criticism he has to make (i believe in the saying, praise in public and criticize in private), but you should not need a regular 1:1 for those, you or your manager should schedule a meeting and discuss those when the need arise..

Now.. like i said, i work remote full time, so for me those 1:1, and even the team meetings, are some nice opportunity we have for some social interactions, this is why both are mostly chit chat.. so they are good for the team mental health so in some way they are good for our personal advancement as well.. so even if my manager is gone tomorrow i don't see as it being all for nothing..

Also having a close relation with one manager can be good for ones career, my manager know my career goals and he has being doing what he can to help me achieve my objectives.. if he is gone tomorrow the work he has already done to help will still have value..

Think this, we all had several friends trough life that we eventually lost contact with or very rarely speak with.. those friendships were important and had value at the time in some way or another but then they ended, just because they ended the value did not disappeared, it was valuable at the time and in some ways we carry this value with us, i see 1:1s with my manager the same way.. they are nice to have and have some value at the time but if he is gone tomorrow so be it..
The trouble is that I don't want to hardcode the colors in the app, but to learn which theme the user is using and adapt the application to use the colors of that theme (and other features if possible)

If the toolkit supported this automatically, it would be easier to achieve this
Even easier to just have a doc give some examples of third party tunneling solutions and not have the app try to do anything more than normal connections.

ssh tunneling alone can be done in so many ways with different environments necessitating which might work. are we talking ssh tun/tap IP tunnels? simple port forwarding? either of the above but with a proxyjump required to get there?

> I've been fluent in Japanese for over a decade and am about 6 months into studying Korean.

Me too! Nice to talk with someone with a similar background :)

> you never really settle into a sense of confidently being able to read new words correctly. It sucks.

Native speakers don't magically gain the ability to read correctly every new word. So it is fine to hit the dictionary every now and then!

In the case of 仲人, I can guessimate 仲 (naka) and 人 (hito), but recall that 素人 and 玄人 are pronouced <long vowel>~uto. I would try to pronounce it as nakouto (the correct spelling is nakoudo). So people do gain a heuristic for reading.

Also Kanji provides a mnemonic device after learning the meaning of the word. (One who makes/improves 仲).

>So, on balance I'd say reading Korean is way easier because they ditched Kanji.

Yes, unless you're Chinese or Japanese speaker ;)
Current geopolitical events suggest that not only was reducing European reliance on fossil fuels sourced from the Middle East and Russia a good idea, but that they were not nearly aggressive enough in doing so. IIRC, gas heating still receives government subsidies in Germany that heat pumps do not (and have for more than a decade)

The transition away from oil will take a long, long time, and natural gas will be an essential component in renewable strategies for some time to come. But Europe needs to figure out how to reduce that consumption to not much more than what can be provided domestically and via trade with the US for geopolitical reasons.

Any cost comparison that doesn't factor in geopolitical concerns is incomplete.
>"...these ideas were totally revolutionary, and he ended up collecting them all several years later in his groundbreaking work, Die lineale Ausdehnungslehre, ein neuer Zweig der Mathematik (https://dn790002.ca.archive.org/0/items/dielinealeausde00gra...), published in 1844 when he was 35. Grassmann essentially came up with a totally original and new conception of linear algebra. Instead of the more traditional development of systems of linear equations, vectors, matrices, determinants, etc., Grassmann had a more general and abstract conception of the subject, which focused on what is now known as an exterior algebra, also known as the "wedge product."

Unlike in the traditional development, where we use simpler operations like the dot product or cross product, in Grassmann's presentation of the subject, everything is couched in terms of the wedge product, which is a bit more abstract and harder to explain. In a nutshell, the wedge product of two vectors can be thought of as the region spanned by the vectors in space using the traditional parallelogram rule; it's basically what you probably already know as the determinant, but

instead of representing the quantity of the area spanned by this space, it's the space itself.

Basically,

the wedge product generalizes the determinant to higher dimensions

and different contexts."

> it’s not smart to claim it’s one way or the other without further evidence

It's perfectly smart to claim Hoffman did not make "contact with external entities on a trip (eyeball with wings)" with zero evidence because the status quo is not having conversations with eyeballs with wings. Herego, the burden of proof is on the eyballs-with-wings guy.
You're not alone. I detest these interviews, refuse to participate in them on either side. Of course, that's from the privileged position of currently being employed so it doesn't carry a lot of moral weight since it's currently causing me no pain.

I think they're terrible at what they claim to be doing (determining if a candidate is good at software engineering) because never in my life have I had to do a leetcode style thing under time pressure in my 15 years of professional software work.

I have a pet theory to explain them - I think it's simply a form of hazing. Many engineers have the mindset of "I had to go through this, you will too". It also allows the interviewer to intellectually flex on the interviewee which staves off impostor syndrome in the interviewee if only for a moment.

They also remove people like you and me, older and further into our careers with less stomach for make-work and less free time to practice for it.
> What makes you think they are good at civil space?

Never said that. Splitting up a company doesn't necessarily mean every bit is individually sustainable. Those assets are probably better husbanded by their competitors.
I'm not sure why this is downvoted. I do agree with some points there. Metaverse is probably not big enough for Meta. Roblox is IMO the #1 in metaverse, though they're mostly targeting kids. Minecraft was worth billions too and it's a very, very small subset of the market.

But is the metaverse worth over a trillion dollars? If it's not, then what's to say social media is?

I was being silly and pedantic but thats an interesting distinction!

I imagine Laozi probably knew how to have sharp knives so I defer to his wisdom as far as 4th century chinese knives go anyways. Perhaps they used a different technique there and then than the type of knife sharpening I'm familiar with.
Actually, the people who are making the claim that the hallucinations are external entities are asserting a position. And with a quick application of Hitchens' Razor, that which is claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Yeah, you can definitely deploy it to share with others. Check out our deployment guide (https://google.github.io/mesop/guides/deployment/) which shows you how to deploy Mesop apps to Google Cloud Run, but you should be able to deploy it on pretty much any service that takes a container.

For example, the demo gallery (https://google.github.io/mesop/demo/) itself is a Mesop app which is hosted on Cloud Run
That's a facile dismissal if I ever saw one.

You can "assume things about time" while writing a paper (including when it's due for sunmission), while still investigating whether the object of those assumptions has some fundamental properties, or whether it is just an emergent phenomenon from more fundamental things with no specific substance to it.

Same way we can assume things about color, but still come to the conclusion that the qualia of color are just manufactured in our brain, and that the reality behind color, as far as the universe is concerned, is electromagnetic radiation at various frequences.

In America, the strategy of a regional or national corporation using dealerships, franchisees, employees, or other stakeholders to try to influence state & local governments is at least as old as the automobile industry (>100 years). If not the railroad industry (>150 years). And the political meaning of "astroturf" dates back to 1985.

I could hype disposable diapers as the "secret weapon" for modern parents. 99% of competent & experienced parents are quite familiar with them - how the h*ll is that "secret"? - but who cares about facts? "Secret weapon" sounds so cool to say!
And how does memorizing leetcode patterns demonstrate that?
I'm also 40 with 20+ years in software. 4 interviews out of 5 recently tried to do come leetcoding, but after a brief conversation about it 2 of them were reasonable and we worked with existing code instead. 2 did not and I walked out, both were somewhat larger companies.

I think if you're not in an urgent need of a job, it's ok to be selective. Leetcoding jobs will probably have a lot of rigidity in their work processes as well, and it's up to you to be willing to accept that or find something else.
Could hack news support use commend "ctrl+enter" to submit post and comment?
I think all website can support more effective shortcuts to make user use less mouse, that save much time for user.

I think this when i browser this post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40569458
I think on hacker news you’re preaching to the converted - everyone here likes intellectual challenges, puzzles and technical mysteries.

I think the problem is that it’s not a great measure of real world ability on many dimensions - often you don’t have the same tools at your disposal, your body is full of adrenaline from the stress of being in an interview (which enables fight or flight and disables high level cortical thought) and lastly many of the leetcode problems are - at best - only tangentially related to the work.

I think they are not a good measure of performance at a programming job - I do however think they are a good way of measuring a candidates tolerance for stupid B.S., which I think is what some poor organisations are actually subconsciously measuring for!
Pronouncing two identical sequences of characters differently depending on dialect doesn't appear to be a problem in English.
Yes, but there we speak of a general case. In general, it’s well known that bacteria and virus are killed/inactivated by high temperature. SARS-Cov2 is a prime example with hundred papers confirming its inactivation by high temperature or sun light exposure. So for me it’s interesting only if there is a case which is NOT.
I hear you. I wrote my reasoning on a comment above, but the gist is: It's an afternoon project, I fucked up the list because I didn't think much about it, and this project is probably better off being crowdsourced.

I think it's a proof of concept on how we can theoretically make searches better. Anyways, I'm pushing an update removing all the sites you mentioned. Do you have any other suggestions?
I believe you haven't missed anything. The research on GME going up by thousands of dollars is compelling. You can wade through the cesspool that is the r/GME subreddit and read it all. I've come away believing the apes are right.

As of now, GME has 2 billion USD cash on hand. They wouldn't go bankrupt for over 350 months even if they didn't make a single penny. And they are making pennies! Lots of them! And they're making smart moves to make more pennies.

Throw a "little" (what you're happy with losing) money at GME, and don't touch it.
If I’m not mistaking, the coordinates in any given latent space (in this context) are countable, as there is a finite amount of dimentions. You can even only consider the space enveloped by the already explored coordinates (e.g. English words), to get a finite space which can be fully enumerated.
We communicate with other people and entities in dreams as well, and they seem completely convincing during the experience. While its not impossible for the self-replicating machine elves from the 5th dimension to actually exist, I think its more likely they're reflections of our psyche or something like that
Brilliant suggestion

100% agreed. "RCT's are the gold standard" doesn't make them gospel.
>Most developed countries don’t have single payer healthcare. Obamacare is actually modeled on the system used in the Netherlands.

No it's not. Most European countries that run private health insurance keep pretty strong regulatory regime where pricing and coverage is tightly controlled. In America, there is some basic regulatory scheme but pricing, coverage, limits and such is extremely open.
They could put Scheme in the browser, but then what websites would work? How many have Scheme; zero? Have JS - almost all?

ewwww i havent seen that one used in a long time thank god
The problem (other than your casual insults) is that leetcode does not demonstrate the ability to conceive, plan, structure, or write code. The whole method behind it is nothing but rote memorization of trivia questions, almost all of which are pulled from one or two websites. There are piles of books made specifically to help people memorize the solutions to these puzzles. This has nothing to do with actual software engineering work which very rarely involves rote memorization.

A far better approach is to talk through the design of a system - conceptual or previously worked on and ask questions about it. Strike up a conversation with the person. I find it extremely easy to tell if a person knows what they're talking about and enjoys the subject _on subjects I am familiar with_, which is quite common in the situation where I am interviewing someone to join my team.
Time is a result of entropy. Which is an inherent property of everything in the universe. From when light transmits the first existence of anything to when it returns to nothing after entropy runs its course. Time is just a measurement of degradation.

Tab, then enter worked for me here.
Existence is a difficult concept for something moving at the speed of light.

Light follows a null geodesic through space-time with zero (space-time) length and no proper time. Past, future, and causality have no meaning to a photon. We think of photons travelling through space because our symmetry is broken, we have mass, and we and experience time and space.

Observers like us will see light follow the same world-line from its source to its target. It cannot interact with anything else, and some might say it was only ever emitted so that it could interact with its target.

So from a certain point of view the “existence” of a photon is entirely bound up in its interaction with source and target, and it’s not really useful to speak of it in other terms. The quantised interaction is the photon.
I think because Servo was orginally focused at researching new techniques for designing a modern browser, not creating something for users to user. Parts of Servo made it into Firefox.

> If you want the proof of it, remember that a huge majority of Canadians live close enough to drive to the US for health care, but don't

I don't understand this point. Obviously Canada offers healthcare, and what it offers is no doubt good. That doesn't mean that it offers everything that can possibly be done. People just won't be aware of what can be done, and/or don't have US health insurance to pay for what can be done.
I don't understand the "magic" here.

In a traditional approach, you would generate random images, calculate some distance metric, then use some optimization method like simulated annealing to minimize the distance.

I get that the difference between the image representations is being optimzied here, but how is it possible that changing tokens in a program is differentiable?

On day 1 of this journey I realized how important the Tab key is for website navigation. Tab lets you jump between focusable elements such as links and buttons. If you’re viewing this page from a computer with a keyboard you can try it now [...]

I tried pushing <TAB> and Firefox refuses to do anything with the page. Extremely ironic. I've never experienced a website not being able to do anything with the tab key. For instance, if I push <TAB> right now, Hacker News will navigate me to the "add comment" button. But this website claiming that "a lot of docs sites suck at Tab-based navigation"? Somehow it manages to be the worst I've seen yet.

Just to make sure this is not a Firefox issue, I opened the page in Safari, pushed <TAB>, and nothing happened. At this point I'm not sure if the author is performing some elaborate prank on me. I agree that accessibility is important, and being able to quickly navigate with tabs and arrow keys is something that many modern web apps fail at, but some of them do pretty well! (Slack is surprisingly good at placing focus on the most commonly used widgets of the app, and they even provide a mini tutorial on your first attempt at keyboard navigation).

Assuming that this article is not intentionally breaking keyboard navigation, they should hold themselves to the same standards they have outlined.

As much as I'd like to scratch the builder's itch, I can't help but acknowledge the usability improvements afforded by the Chromatic like the USB-C charging and video output. That would be a bitch and a half to implement satisfactorily on original hardware.
This is fascinating. I've been trying to envisage how the new language models will have deeper or lower-level role in software production than simple code generation.
Why does all of that stuff matter to society?

The unit can provide utility as long as it is fit to live in. The only question is what price people are willing to pay for it.

We can even generously set it at 1 year just to start things off. If landlords are still too comfortable keeping units empty for the sole purpose of holding out for another price, then it can be revised lower.

I don't think you even need an FPGA. I believe the article is correct that "CEC merits its own special pin", so you wouldn't have to do anything fancy with the high-data-rate lines. But it still means building something (I looked a while ago and didn't find one being sold) to achieve less than what you'd get out of the box if the protocol were properly designed for this use case. So in my personal project idea list, it's firmly below a bunch of other stuff I'm also probably never going to find the time for.
