We're really looking at two (or more) different maps here, not map vs territory.

One of the maps is hey there's these little balls called particles, they bounce around and interact in ways X, Y, Z, etc.

Another is a big page of math that involves excitations of fields that interact. The point is that _this_ one is the best we currently have, but it doesn't let you simply, intuitively and correctly talk about particles interacting (or other things we intuitively want to understand the world in terms of), because those aren't real in the model. They're just an abstraction that usually works at the scale we experience day-to-day.

So yeah, the territory is the territory and neither of these are it, but even getting past that, our best map is just a bunch of math that you just have to take at face value if you want to be as correct as our maps currently allow.

This is meant to address questions like "is light a particle or a wave?" The answer is: No.

It's (according to our best model/map) this bunch of math that doesn't correspond to either one of those, have fun calculating.
The authors used the LIGO Scientific Collaboration's (open source) Bilby package to do the nested sampling analysis. So this was a drop-in use of this GW software to analyse the antikythera data. There is quite a close analogy between the 22-dimensional antikythera analysis, with its intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, and the ~15 dimensional spinning binary black hole analyses done in the GW world, again with intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. That's the GW connection, and it may not be so clear from the reports.
No, and the content of the tweets certainly dont support his claim. As someone else pointed out he's already tweeted this "story" in the past. It's all low effort self promotion for his brand.

I love the Diamond Sutra. I read it every few years. To me, it's very funny. how can one read about all the absolutely galactic scale quantity of "merit" to be gained right next to explanations about the illusory nature of words without laughing?

It's layered like an onion. One layer is meant to free people from illbeing. Another layer is for error correction codes and to make the message 'viral'. Another layer opened my eyes to incontrovertible truth about the noisy approximations and lossy signals that comprise the the human experience. So many layers read rather mystically at first, but you can always cut through it and find out it's not magic, it's really the way things are.

From another angle, it's a blob of metadata around a packet that contains instructions to all sentient beings -- in my words: "Relax. Be compassionate to yourself and others. All barriers to compassion are illusions. Tell this to other people. If you need to reformat the content as a listicle to get through to grandma, that's cool."

There's other angles. It's a fascinating document.

I believe the massively intelligent person(s) who composed it had a sincere objective to help all life.
You’re not wrong, a hardware keychain gizmo with a camera for scanning QRs would be the ultimate actually-secure 2FA device (at least against remote attackers). Personally though I view standards-based 2FA more as a tool to reclaim my login abilities from the insane zoo of “let us email or text you a code” confirmations various sites force on you because they assume you must use a stupid and reused password so that’s not enough now.

When I store my passwords and their 2FA secrets in my KeePass db, I’m arrogantly taking for granted that I won’t ever leak my whole secrets database, which is a risk I’m willing to take because I know what I’m doing (and don’t have any secrets valuable to state-level actors). I appreciate having the option to make this call so I don’t have to drop in to my email just to log into frigging Patreon.
Yeah, that's the critical thing. Five interviews in one day on one onsite is pretty normal in my experience. Five different days would be insane (maybe for a very high level, director/VP/etc.).
For example:

Undisclosed employer. July 2024 - present day

Worked on the backend for a popular online service. Work included programming in PHP and working MariaDB. Solved scalability challenges and optimized backend response times.

And you can still tell them a bit more in the interview about the technical side of things without having to say that it was a gambling site.
No, that is still not true, no matter how good the insulation.

> That fully depends on the level of insulation. Newly build houses here in The Netherlands rarely cool down when heating is off, and the temperature stays generally stable, even when you are out (and the heating is off).

Even if it's a few days, and it does drop a few degrees, you still spend less energy bringing it back up to whatever temperature than you would have to keep it there the entire time.

Thanks! I started on it a week ago so it is just barely presentable at this point. I expect there are many glitches and bugs that I am completely unaware of!

The parser is off-the-shelf and seems robust. The AST-to-bash aspect is a bit messy. Wrapping arguments with spaces in them with either " or ' is somewhat of an unsolved problem. Like, it's hard to tell if someone wants to embed a bash variable and thus wants " or if they are using something like awk that uses $var itself and thus need '. We'll see how it goes!
Matters very little. Take the courses you find most interesting. If you are worried about getting a job, work on your networking and interviewing skills. The first straight after school is going to be hard in a low-activity market.

Klaviyo did 7 interviews with me and then rescinded a verbal offer because they said they "forgot" they dont hire people in my state.

For me, the point of re-starting would be because I have ADHD.

I’m not so sure. Sometimes there are opinions and either times there are easily verified, straight up lies that are destructive and dangerous to the common good. I have no problem seeing that stuff easily taken off the internet and the person doing it fined, they usually can’t be found though, because it’s often foreign propaganda preying on those who seem to have given up on facts.
Though my employer certainly could be categorized as a feature factory (individual software development), we kind of sell the opposite: Sustainable development producing software which can be changed easily. There's only direct monetary compensation. Hierarchies are flat. Like, too flat.

I understand many do not have the energy to fight the status quo and some may not have the… eloquence to do so. I have worked very hard for many years to end up where I am. If others don't, I expect them to at least accept where they remain. Because they don't do "don't care". They are effectively sabotaging projects.

They certainly aren't unintelligent. They still act pretty dumb. Again, I must apologize for my polemics.
I think they had a similar system before to replace all the audio in your video with something from the youtube audio library. The first thing in the list was a song called "009 Sound System Dreamscape" which became notorious as the background audio for tutorials where someone types into notepad due to this system.

I wonder what the pre-eminent audio library song is going to be this time.
I'm not sure I follow. The equivalent to a photo of a visual would be a recording of a audible. Whether either core thing exists is independent of a specific recording in both cases.

The main difference in the above analogy is probably that a photo is not a primary intended way for the architecture to be consumed whereas it is for a song.

https://tricycle.org/beginners/buddhism/dependent-originatio...

Dependent origination (Skt: pratityasamutpada, Pali: paticca-samuppada) is also known as conditioned co-arising and several other terms. Buddhism teaches that everything that exists is conditioned—dependent on something else. This applies to thoughts as well as objects, to the individual as well as the entire universe. Nothing exists independently. Everything is conditioned.

This concept is illustrated in the Buddhist teachings of the chain of dependent origination, which describes the factors that perpetuate the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The twelve links in the chain are sequential, each factor causing the following one: Because of this, that arises. When this ceases, that also ceases.

The links form a never-ending cycle that binds us to suffering, and the goal of Buddhist practice is to escape from this vicious cycle. Though there is more than one version of the sequence of links, they commonly run this way:

- Ignorance
- Mental formations
- Consciousness
- Name and form
- The senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and mind
- Contact
- Feeling
- Craving
- Clinging
- Becoming
- Birth
- Aging and death

This reminds me that centuries such as "the third century BC" are even harder to translate into date ranges. That one's 201 BC to 300 BC, inclusive, backward. Or you might see "the last quarter of the second millennium BC", which means minus 2000 to about minus 1750. [Edit: no it doesn't.]

In fact archeologists have adapted to writing "CE" and "BCE" these days, but despite that flexibility I've never seen somebody write a date range like "the 1200s BCE". But they should.
Agreed, this works great for a single or small set of users (2-3), but OP is asking about self-hosting an open-source / open-weight LLM locally to serve a larger set of users (100s per post title). I suspect they may need a larger server farm with a lot of GPUs to handle the load.

Random UUID's are super useful when you have distributed creation of UUID's, because you avoid conflicts with very high probability and don't rely on your DB to generate them for you, and they also leak no information about when or where the UUID was created.

Postgres is happier with sequence ID's, but keeping Postgres happy isn't the only design goal. It does well enough for all practical purposes if you need randomness.
5 rounds on side seems excessive, but maybe this is just how things are done nowadays.
Now we need a client side algorithm to add that back, perhaps provided by a music platform where the user is a subscriber. I’m sure streaming services would enjoy this kind of windfall.

They are doing the same with another 5-10-20-50 people. Walking away after the 5th only makes their life/job easier.
I get it that some companies want to be 110% sure about the person, and not take chances with 'just' 3-4 interviews, in which some things may be left untouched/not discussed thoroughly, dropping the level of certainty to 70%.
I didn't endorse the system. I'm just pointing out how it works.

Revenge Of The Nerds -- Tug Of War Scene:

https://youtu.be/S9iJlfVMstA?t=124

"You win!" :-)

(The entire Universe works on only 3 principles -- Push, Pull, and Balance (John Ernst Worrell Keely)... Balance is basically "letting go". If Pushing to get what you want in a specific circumstance doesn't work, try Pulling... If Pulling doesn't work to get what you want in a specific circumstance, try Pushing... but perhaps most importantly, if neither Pushing nor Pulling work -- then try "letting go" (that is, let the Universe decide where it wants to go!))

In the video above, The Nerds wisely realized that they did not have the raw strength to beat the Jocks in the Tug-Of-War!

So did they try with all of their intent, all of their strength, all of their effort -- to somehow win the Tug-Of-War against the Jocks?

No they didn't!

They simply timed their move exactly right, and they "let go" -- at the most inopportune time for the Jocks!

"You win!" says the nerd Harold Wormser (played by Andrew Cassese) so eloquently, after the strength that the Jocks used is "used against them" -- and they have all fell down upon one another!

:-) <g> :-)

Point is -- you have jobs that require interview after interview after interview... filling out bureaucratic form after bureaucratic form... and going through that process only for a chance (not a guarantee!) to get hired at the end of it...

Then, on the other side of the spectrum, you have jobs which only require a handshake.

I prefer jobs towards the handshake side of the spectrum (a few forms and a few interviews are OK) than the bureaucratic
thousands of interviews and thousands of forms side, and then only for the chance at getting a job -- not for a guarantee...

Also, does anyone at companies requiring 10+ interviews actually do any work?

How could they, if everyone working for the company is interviewing everyone who's applying for the company, all of the time?

Maybe they should create a future company called "The Interview Company" -- their tagline could be something like:

"We interview people for your company... so you don't have to..." :-)

You know, outsourced interviewing... which could then be used for outsourced labor... everything could be outsourced -- and AI could handle the rest... <g> :-) <g>

I could not agree with you more. I'm trying to formulate data and arguments and I think I actually have the data to prove these points.

I'm working on a series of articles at enlightenedprogramming.com to prove it out.

I'm also working "show you how" solutions because, absent data (and sometimes even with it), I still get people who believe that the industry has never been better, we're in some golden age and there is not a whole to improve on and it just boggles my mind.
I've had many use cases for using an event broker, but never found one that was simple enough that I would venture into hosting it myself, or cheap enough to rent/host that it was feasible. Once I realized that cloud object stores fit this problem perfectly (they provide durability and are cheap to use), I realized that it would be possible to write one myself. I wrote a post on it here, along with a tiny performance evaluation: https://blog.vbang.dk/2024/05/26/seb/

I spent the better part of a week working on it full time, but spread over months. I use it daily - it's serving the needs of multiple projects that I needed it for :)
I've always written it like "1900s", and always considered "20th century" to be confusing. Having to mentally do c-- or c++ is confusing and annoying.

I deal with the "2000s-problem" by using "00s" to refer to the decade, which everyone seems to understand. Sometimes I also use "21st century"; I agree with the author that it's okay in that case, because no one is confused by it. For historical 00s I'd probably use "first decade of the 1700s" or something along those lines. But I'm not a historian and this hasn't really come up.

Ask HN: Looking for music project with 12 songs/sounds in the same key
Hi HN,

I'm searching for a creative music project in the form a website which contains a grid of youtube videos, each with it's own instrument/sound (one of them is a spoken word created by the artist behind this project) and all in the same key.

The beauty of the project is that you can start them at any time and in any order to create a beautiful collage of noise that's unique to how you sequenced the videos.

I've spent the better part of an evening giving in to my obsessive behaviors to no avail. I would sincerely appreciate it if someone could find the link! I love the project and would like to experience it again.

Thank you.
Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you
In my last position we spent our time trying to shorten and cut down the selection process as much as possible. One half hour phone call, one face to face interview for most roles.

Last October I decided to leave and hired my replacement as CTO. That process was more involved but, even then, only three stages: one online, two face to face.

You can really only indulge these ridiculously convoluted processes if you’re a famous company where many people want to work and will put up with your bullshit to achieve that end.

But, make no mistake, FAANG or not, this is not good hiring practice and is extremely disrespectful of interviewees’ time. Not to mention wasting a lot of your teams’ time on endless interviews.
Ohh that’s good to know thanks. Here in Germany and probably Europe it’s not allowed not even the plasma part.
“Half one” is archaic English, and common German, for 12:30. Similarly “my 27th year” just sounds archaic to me: I wonder if you went through a bunch of 19th century writing if you’d see ages more often be “Xth year” vs “X-1 years old”.

There may be something cultural that caused such a shift, like a change in how math or reading is taught (or even that it’s nearly universally taught, which changes how we think and speak because now a sizeable chunk of the population thinks in visually written words rather than sounds).
While I understand where you're coming from, this does not paint a reassuring picture of the organizational capacity of those companies, when they are handling sensitive data.

No matter what a drive looks like, you simply erase it again. Does the drive contain data? Send it to erasure one more time, and then it doesn't.

I expect the objection that someone could still mess this up, there is still a risk of an employee being terribly confused and putting a drive directly into the trash, instead of the erase box.

But my point is, if this is a realistic problem with your employees, you have bigger problems. Even if you destroy instead of erasing, your employees could also throw drives into the nearest kitchen trashcan instead of putting them in the destroy box. Your front desk could just let someone through because they had a good story, and they'll make an exception just this time. Your employee clicked on the wrong button and you have ransomware. These are real things that happen every day and result in data leaks.

If erasing drives is too complex to have it handled reliably, the organizational capacity is already too low to handle sensitive data. You will lose the data one way or the other.
I wish more German doctors would acknowledge what utter quackery homeopathy is. Three separate doctors wanted to prescribe me homeopathy stuff last year, ended up not getting any help at all.
I trust no corporate entities, and try to minimize my exposure, but I agree it makes some sense. Apple is too big/public to screw around with making a quick buck by changing terms. They are also likely to have significantly better security posture on every aspect of application development and distribution.

How much stringency does a code/platform change get at Authy vs Apple? However, once you are in the Apple walls, they are just as ruthless at keeping you locked inside, which is why I try to minimize my dependencies where possible.
Do Navigation Apps Think We're Stupid?
Hopefully they paid you for that time they wasted, though I doubt it.

Reminds me of interview code assignments. Sometimes they don’t even care if you solve any problem. Programming is sometimes not the point, and in those cases it comes down code vanity. It’s a test to determine if the interviewer can read the code, because they probably can’t, even with ample code comments and test coverage and formal documentation, and somehow that is the fault of the candidate with several hours wasted.

At any rate I have signals that I look for during the interview, that I learned while unemployed, and I try to drop out as early as possible if it smells childish.
I read that the other way from the parent - in that you should keep drinking until your pee is clear. Then you're back to "normal" after a dehydrating event (the workout), so you can continue maintaining that level as normal.

And I agree that "constantly carrying the bottle" has become as much about the fashion as anything - there's a guy at work who always has a metal bottle on him, taking it everywhere. But they rarely use it - they've never refilled it at work, and less than 1l (I've never seen it less than half full, but assuming it is used over the day) over 1/3 of the day doesn't feel like theyre over hydrating.
