I'm a frontend dev. There were a few preliminary phone screenings at first (from HR and the like) that weren't really about my duties. Then I finally got to talk to the dev manager, who asked me some basic background questions (experience, education, etc.). Altogether those didn't take more than like 20-30 min of my time combined.

Then I finally got through to the coding round, and talked to the frontend dev lead for maybe like 15-20 min, and got a realistic take-home assignment (make a simple frontend in the stack we'd be using). It only took a couple hours. A few days later we reviewed it together and he gave me a chance to explain the decisions I made along the way, complimented some parts of it, critiqued other parts (but respectfully and professionally, coder-to-coder, and left room for discussion).

I got the job and ended up working on his team, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience... one of my favorite frontend jobs ever, though I eventually left because of the bureaucracy above the team.

----

So what I liked: Realistic take-home, debrief and discussion. It felt like I was just working on an open-source project with dev-to-dev discussions about what worked, what didn't, and why, and given a chance to correct any issues. It was a lot like the actual code review and PR process would come to be once I got the job. It's much more representative of "will this person work well in our team, on the actual job they're going to do" instead of whiteboarding or grinding out leetcode.

What I didn't like: All the bureaucracy, repeating the same basic interview questions and introductions to a bunch of people who I wouldn't end up talking to again or working with. I wish they just had an interview team with different people all in the same meeting (once), and/or pass information between them as necessary instead of making me schedule separate meetings with different people just to rehash the same few questions.
That is quite an expensive battery if you're just sinking it into the ground as a cube, though. Concrete is pretty expensive and I'm sure carbon black makes concrete look cheap.

I imagine the benefit would be if you can use it to build your foundation and get energy storage for 'free' in which case that's quite a lot of foundation.

I posit there are two types of people who want to kill rote memorization.

1) Those to whom memorization comes easily without much drilling, so such experiences in the classroom was an exercise in pain and drudgery.

2) Those to whom rote memorization is nigh impossible or only happens with herculean effort. Such experiences in the classroom was an exercise in pain and drudgery.

Both want to eliminate this pain for future generations. I will put forth that both camps are severely wrong.

Yes. If it isn't obvious from the context, it should ask.

I'm not sure about others here, but I occasionally spend time typing out a long reply to someone and then simply deleting the reply without posting. Most of the time I conclude -- a little too late -- that the effort was not worth it.

How nice it would be to have an LLM trained on all of my previous writings and simply be able to click a button to indicate "reply to this person, please." I know I don't have enough training data from HN, and maybe not even from all of the sites I contribute, combined. It is still a nice thought, though.

But: Let's say I do acquire enough training data to have a local LLM do exactly what I describe. My volume of "replies" would certainly increase. Is that a good thing, on average? If the tool became ubiquitous, would it be a good thing for the average social media user? Or more pointedly, would it be a good thing for consumers of that social media? The cynic in me thinks "no" -- the effort required today surely weeds out _some_ idiots....

There's a few different things we try to teach.

We try to teach bodies of knowledge that allow people to make inferences within those domains and with analogy to other domains.

We also try to teach, within those bodies of knowledge, very specific facts that are required to be able to work quickly and without losing too much state. Knowing 6x9 or that the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 or how you name organic compounds are in these categories--rote.

But we also try to teach reasoning, forming sound arguments, debate, academic discourse, systematic research, etc. And, sure-- we need some rote knowledge and some bodies of knowledge to have some arenas to play with these concepts in. But too much of the direction in recent education has been to pile more and more knowledge into educational standards and less of these types of synthesis and higher order reasoning.

I find this frustrating in particular in that one subject I teach is AP Microeconomics, which is just crammed absolutely full of material that students will not retain most of after the exam. I'd rather go really deep in a couple of sub-areas and really have the students show they've thought deeply, but that is not what the system incents. I have 36.5 block-period-equivalents with the students and about 34 block periods of content, which means that I can't just spend a couple of extra periods on game theory, which I love and students tend to love, too-- it's a very small part of the exam.

The confound, of course, is that it's very easy to measure the difference that a teacher has made in knowledge, but a lot harder to measure the efficacy of an intervention in higher order thinking.

The type is an inferred integer literal in swift (in the swift standard this is the `ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral`, the string literals are `ExpressibleByStringLiteral` types).

The reason this causes issues with the type checker is it has to consider all the possible combinations of the `+` operator against all the possible types that can be represented by an inferred integer literal.

This is whats causing the type checker to try every possible combination of types implementing the `+` operator, types implementing `ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral` and `ExpressibleByStringLiteral` in the standard library. That combination produces 59k+ permutations without even looking at non-standard library types.

If any of the types in the expression had an explicit type then it would be type checked basically instantly. Its the fact that none of the values in the expression have explicit types that is causing the type checker to consider so many different combinations.
This article doesn't even mention the new type checker and constraint solver.

The compiler is open-source, and discussed on open forums. Readers would love some summary/investigation into slow-down causes and prospects for fixes.

It's not PII (an American term) but it is personal data (a GDPR term).

Personal data is (broadly) considered to be data that could be used to track or tie your behavior online together into a profile. The UK's ICO calls out usernames specifically as
an example of such data. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re....

(For those of us who have been around on the Internet long enough to remember the era where people intentionally chose handles to remain pseudonymous and separate from their IRL personas, this seems counter-intuitive and a little preposterous, but the GDPR doesn't care what "netizens" think about privacy; it's a broad attempt to impose a "non-native" concept of privacy over the preexisting net culture).
This is addressed in the second to last paragraph of the blog post: The 'last straw' that made the author write that post was Robert Martin doubling down on his advice, even today.
Some people are using a database for a single user, on a single machine. They don't want or need 1000+QPS, live failover, or massive concurrency. They just want something simple that works.

The Chrome browser stores many pieces of the user profile (bookmarks, browsing history, etc) in SQLITE databases. I'm not sure if you consider that "professional".
Yeah, completely undiscovered does not happen, with the exception perhaps of battle sites which seem to keep catching archeologists by surprise. What does happen is discoveries of the kind "so we dug up this old thing, because it's in the way of some project, and we discovered that it contains identifiable traces of something much older that we did not expect."

The concept we both seem to be tiptoeing around is the idea that the best conservation approach is leaving it in the ground, for future archeologists to explore or not explore. I believe that this is a central principle of the modern approach to archeology, and one we laymen struggle to really take in. Yes, there are many sites known to science, but not analyzed to destruction by science.

You can also:

- sell vertical call spreads

- sell naked calls

- sell calendar spreads

- short with a married put (not sure if this is correct name, it's opposite of a covered call. Buy 100 shorts and sell a put)

Knowing the risk/reward profile of each is very key. Some of those plays are time sensitive (which makes them gambling).

Investopedia is a great resource. Considering it was scraped for LLM traing, I would expect the gippity to do well with this question.

I can't emphasize enough how important ig is to not only know the mechanics of a given strategy, but also to really know the risk reward profile and the profit/loss curve as a function of time and underlying price. Those those the REALLY important parts to know.

What is more, if a person really is bearish, then if the underlying goes against you - you want to average down. The stop loss advice is bad.

Which means instead of a stop loss on shorts, you buy more shorts. Just as when entering a long position, it can be good to only open an initial 25% at first so you have room to average down. If the play is good, you can expand the position still and also then put in stop losses to lock in PROFIT.

OTOH, it is important to have an actual exit strategy so you don't just average down indefinitely too.

Sigh, then there are yet more strategies that can be employed, not necessarily 100% bearish, and some of these strategies might be neutral or bearish. For example, buying an ITM bull put spread is a neutral strategy, it gains value with time as underlying stock price stays the same.

There are also iron condor, where you buy both a bull put spread and a bull call spread. There can be variants of that as well by buying 2x of one compared to the other legs.

Depends on what you mean by novel. When a photographer takes a photo of a new species, are they really creating a new thing? Or just capturing the novelty that nature created? And the form of the species itself is subject to physical and evolutionary constraints, so how novel is it really?
Automation has been annihilating jobs since before my grandmother was born, and many social upheavals resulting from them.

Even narrow AI is more of the same — one that can drive, would rapidly put millions of drivers out of work, but not much else. That's a huge one-off transition to manage, but not inherently radical.

General-purpose AI? Depends on the details. Let's say it's got the all the capabilities and limitations of an exactly average human, with a 24/7 equivalent power requirement of 17.2 kW — that will cost around $15.1k/year to run: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=17.2+kW+*+1+year+*+%240...

I picked that power requirement to get an annual cost comparable to the USA federal minimum wage: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%247.25+per+hour+*+40+h...

This means it's economically neutral to pick an average human or a machine for those roles and with that assumption about electricity cost… provided that humans are willing to accept minimum wages for that role.

This lowers the wages for the average human to minimum wages.

But! The USA's electricity supply is about 1.3 TW: https://www.publicpower.org/resource/americas-electricity-ge....

This is only 3.8 kW/capita: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1.3TW%2Fusa+population+...

This suggests that prices may rise rapidly, at least before the AI can be put to work guiding robots to install solar power systems (there's a startup on Y Combinator dedicated to exactly this).

How much might prices rise? To whatever level where the AI can still be a neutral replacement for human labour. If the median capacity human earns $45k, then that assumption for power requirement would raise electricity prices to $0.30/kWh. If the AI is as energy efficient as a human brain, and uses 30 watts, then it doesn't have any impact on prices because the US doesn't run out of power in the first place; if the AI needs megawatts, then the effect is also reduced, because 1 MW * 1 y * $0.1/kWh = $876,000 and therefore it isn't economically sensible to displace even one worker.

So what I'm worried about is the transition, the time between now and the steady-state long-term future where the robots can put in as much PV as they need. Do we have a risky period where robots could use all the available electrical power and might be able to out-bid the average human on both sides of the equation, the income side by being as cheap as it's legally possible for a human to be, and the expenses because now the human isn't earning any money and can't pay for electricity?

Or does this dynamically fix itself because I'm doing an over-simplified toy model in my head and I've missed a critical part? (Probably).

The main upside Isabelle has over other proof assistants is the existence of Sledgehammer: invoke it, and your current proof state gets handed off to a SMT solver like cvc4, veriT, z3, vampire, etc. If the SMT solver finds a solution, Isabelle then reconstructs the proof.

It's essentially a brute-force button that no other proof assistant (aside from Coq) has.

Modern ML and embeddings models are the discontinuity that was needed to get from "massively complex hack that can't scale" to "even more complex but principled approach that scales pretty well".

Huh? Please elaborate. The backwards compatibility is excellent. The core has been rock solid since the 90s. Especially compared to Py -2-to-3- thon.
No. I'm not.

And I never said a single thing about "running out of power," because that wasn't the issue in most areas. The power infrastructure was physically damaged. The state is on its own grid, refuses to winterize, and people also carried on in their households as if it were a normal day, which overloaded local transformers.

It took me a week to regain power in 2021 because the transformer blew behind my house on Valentine's Day and Oncor would keep sending trucks with technicians who didn't realize they had access to the transformer via the giant vacant lot behind it. Instead of doing the intelligent thing and calling to ask for a frame of reference, they would cancel the report. They did this for days while the temperatures were near zero.

Dallas had a week-long blackout in some areas a week ago. We had an almost day's long power outage in January in some areas. This is becoming a common occurrence in the area due to severe weather.
Couldn't agree more. One thing to note is that once you have that contact, you almost certainly want to do something with it. In most cases doing something useful involves knowing the actual overlap information. Working that out is actually _worse_ numerically - you start with the simplex that GJK generates and expand out the way, and do triangle subdivision along the way. It's a total nightmare to do performantly.
I set up our home with smart shades, lights, iAqua, Somfy, etc., but my family and me now just use the remotes due to frustration with Amazon Alexa.

I was always under impression that Amazon uploads all our data because I notice data transfers whenever I use voice commands, which makes me doubt their privacy claims.

It seems like Alexa was designed more to learn from us rather than to genuinely assist us. Its primary goal appears to be gathering data rather than helping users.

It happens less as I’ve gotten into more senior roles at my jobs, but I’m constantly starting new personal protects and I find that a lot of the annoying grunt work happens in the first few days of the project, which is the part I always dread. Being able to quickly ask ChatGPT for a quick couple stanzas of code for me to get started makes things more fun.

Also, I do need to look at server logs all the damn time and I never have fun doing it, especially for some of the more arcane weird stuff (getting an LTO6 drive to work on NixOS was especially irritating). A lot of the less-frequently-used services will often have logs that are really hard to parse. ChatGPT would be worth the price of admission based solely on that.

For that matter, build files are pretty much universally irritating to me. Being able to quickly get some personalized Maven or Gradle information really quick has saved me considerable time and effort.

There’s plenty of more bureaucratic parts of being a software engineer that it helps me with; I have gotten it to write letters of recommendation for me since those are fairly utilitarian at the end of the day, or to help me format slides in Beamer.

I don’t know; again for me it’s been extraordinarily helpful and made software engineering a lot more enjoyable. If I felt like my job were actually at risk from it in the near it’s possible I would have a worse opinion of it.
