I think those old technologies are still around, because it's hard to train older spies on new technology. They learned that knowledge decades ago and would have a hard time to learn new things. So they let them use the stuff they know, instead of risking some boomer making an opsec mistake by updating their Facebook status on a secure device while doing sensitive communication.
I'm very skeptical of this too. I don't see a mechanism where moving transistors could break the machine. Although I wonder if you could blow up the die testing machine by making a chip that was one big charge pump :-)
I can't see any images.

This is because of CloudFlare.

When I go to the page, I get the CF "are you human" check, which I complete.

However, every image load is also getting that check, but those checks are not presented to me - just the image doesn't load because a HTML page is being returned.
The free version does too. The paid version only adds cosmetics, last time I checked.

Glossing through the paper, it seems they're noting this issue but kinda skipping over it:

In fact, it is clear that approximation capabilities and generalization are not equivalent notions. However, it is not yet determined that the reasoning capabilities of LLMs are tied to their generalization. While these notions are still hard to pinpoint, we will focus in this experimental section on the relationship between intrinsic dimension, thus expressive power, and reasoning capabilities.
During the Cold War, Switzerland maintained fallout shelters for its entire population (plus an extra 25%). If you owned a house, the government would periodically inspect the fallout shelter and verify that it was stocked with food and water. Cities had large, communal shelters.

Finland and Sweden were also big on fallout shelters.
I did that recently because I worked for too many companies that did massive layoffs and people started to wonder if I was quitting on purpose, or was fired because I may have been a bad employee.

I removed a third of my shortest and most useless experiences, and it turned out fine. When you reach 20 years of experience, recruiters don’t care anymore, but they can be suspicious if you have too many bad jobs, and you waste your time during recruitment explaining why you had to leave instead of what you did.
Jupyter and pytorch can be installed completely as python packages via pip thanks to the modern wheel distribution format. Because of that, I would generally not recommend using an external package manager for project dependencies. I prefer installing python via the Python.org downloads, then creating a dedicated virtual environment where I can pip install any packages. That way I known where all my dependencies are installed, and I can make seperate environments for different Python or library versions.
I know that I am going against the grain, but I would say force yourself into a “management track”.

We need more engineers into decision-make positions, not less. And technically, if you do want to perform at the very best, interacting with other people is not avoidable.
> in 6th grade we had a student who had recently immigrated from India. By his own telling, he was an average student there. But compared to native students, he was light years ahead in math. We learned multiplication in third grade, division in fourth grade, long division and fractions in fifth grade, or something like that. He had learned multiplication in first grade, and all of division in second grade.

Whether he knew it or not, he was lying to you in claiming he was average. India's education system is notoriously poor.

Ahh yes two decades ago there was some issues. This clearly makes any disaster preparedness advice from this organization totally useless. You know what while we are at it we should all reject libraries, freeways, the park service, and the postal service as I am sure at some point all these institutions had a clear and public failure and that obviously totally invalidates anything else they do.
Are there any studies that show stores didn't eliminate employees and raise prices anyway?

You don’t think a majority of the world’s population are against the very regular stream of victims of the genocide?

I don’t dispute that the majority of Britain, US, and other western nations are probably indifferent to what’s happening in Gaza and therefore likely to support the government position (more bombs for Israel and no mercy for gazans). But what about Africa? What about Asia? What about the Middle East? What about South America? What portion of those populations are sympathetic to a European colonization project brutalizing the indigenous population?
I realized quite early in life, through teenage exposure to libertarianism, that there seemed to be a very high correlation between self professed libertarians and emotional imbalance. This observation has held up pretty well.

There is no such thing as independence. It's a delusion. People get wrapped up in the idea that they have merit at the expense of others, and their good fortune should keep them isolated. It doesn't make sense unless you have some weird psychological issues.

> will likely literally never be safe, and no amount of "science and validation" can really change that.

This is not how engineering works. You can’t just hand wave all practical problems away and throw adventurers with a death wish at them until a few stick to Mars.

A single failed Starship mission with a full crew is going to be the death sentence for any further exploration of a mars colony. I would very much like to see this happening, but not at the cost of entirely avoidable deaths.

Work smarter, not harder.
A. It wasn't the 00s.

B. Much better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

As it turns out, they didn't need it, and lost a bit of their marketing budget.
Having looked at a few RFID cards, there are a couple of problems. First, the dies are very, very small (the size of a grain of slat) so they are hard to manipulate and easy to lose. Second, the die is glued onto the antenna with gunk that obstructs most of the die. You can burn it off or dissolve it with sulfuric acid, but I haven't had success with more pleasant solvents.
I've always been told resumes should be limited to a single page, one sided. At some point that means you have to drop old jobs from the list. Nobody really cares what your first job out of college was when you are 40.
M3 Pro (and some lower-core count M3 Max) parts have lower memory bandwidth than their M2 comparable. If your workload is highly dependent on memory bandwidth, then M2->M3 on Pro or Max might not be an improvement.

“Secure” is only meaningful against a defined threat model.

Most threat models for database IDs do not require their creation timestamp to be secret. Meanwhile every use case for database IDs requires them to be looked up in an index.
Maybe you're joking? I have an M1 MBP with 64gb of ram and feel zero need to upgrade. Great battery life and handles anything I need a laptop to do.
It takes years just to figure out how to use the machines to produce actual working chips. They're the most specialized, intricate, expensive machines in the world. They're operated in enormous clean rooms that only allow for 1 half-micron sized particle per cubic foot. No fab is going to run them without exactly following the procedures they have spent billions developing and testing. They are also going to avoid potential delays as much as possible because these machines have to be running for as much of their useful life as possible to recoup the vast expense. The level of risk-averseness is insane, but warranted.

If you haven't watched this video, I highly recommend it: Indistinguishable From Magic: Manufacturing Modern Computer Chips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4 It's a little outdated now, but very comprehensive and gives you an idea of how totally nuts the chip business is.
The fact remains:

1. applicants over 28 don't qualify for the corporate tax subsidy for youth employment programs

2. government sponsored projects/faculties must show they interviewed external candidates before getting their preferred picks

3. immigration worker-visa (+ unregistered staffing agency) companies must show several existing local candidates CV _can't_ meet the oddly specific employment criteria. Note, priority is given to upper-level degree holders for intake.

4. No one wants to take on any training costs in a high-churn position

5. Data mining by AI-startups/spammers/staffer-lead-gen-firms is still very active

6. Management doesn't want to hear "No" even when they are about to do something silly

7. racism/nepotism/nationalism is far more common than "Culture fit"

Sure it is illegal to exclude people from the candidate pool due to age/experience. However, very few HR people are ever fined for the shenanigans, and sums are negligible when firms do get caught.

We all know the appearance of youth gives people with Novelty bias a sense of progress.

Judging by the freely trafficked drone footage there is no "Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act" style protection for the fossil fuel industry in LA. Seems like the industry's lobbyists are just a waste of money :) One can also wonder whether it is a pure sea wall or a security measure against protesters or say people seeking refuge when displaced by some future flooding, etc. I mean it looks like a setting from some cataclismic movie.

I think it would make more sense to limit the analysis to technologies that let you build a Turing-complete machine, but indeed sometimes you find people counting your examples as computers, because they are computing a specific function.

Perfect timing for this article after Putin's Russia just forced Apple to drop as many VPNs as possible from the App store in ru.

The aim obviously being to have an easier time surveilling the populace whilst also denying them access to any information not spewed by the Party.

Sorry that was sarcasm. We can easily build laws that stop adverts in our Facebook stream. Hell those laws are basically “duck duck go”.

We don’t need a lot of laws for data privacy, it’s mostly making looking at someone’s data a bit like looking at bodily fluids - socially unacceptable unless under certain circumstances
That advice was also from a time when you would print out your resume on high quality paper and pull it out of your briefcase to give to the hiring manager. Of course they don’t want some stapled-together thing. These days, resumes are digital, so all we’re talking about is more scrolling. Obviously you can go overboard, but I’ve never balked at a two-page resume from a candidate in an interview loop.
nah. Believe it or not, some companies do have a mission that is not "break competitors leg" like microsoft.
> There's plenty of "second-rate", cheap cities which are seen as "second-rate" only because people have yet to move there.

I think you may have missed a couple of years of the pandemic:

1. First, people have been leaving SF/CA for years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_exodus

2. A lot of "second rate" cities experienced an explosion of housing prices during the pandemic as people from bigger/wealthier cities moved into them.

3. But more to the point, moving around is not really the solution. Tons of even large cities have tried to recreate Silicon Valley elsewhere, and they've mostly just succeeded at cheesy names (e.g. "Silicon Alley", "Silicon Prairie", "Silicon Hills"). It's incredibly difficult to reproduce the unique combination of culture, money, educational institutions, legal frameworks, etc. that allowed Silicon Valley to develop.

The real solution is simply to build more housing. It nearly always works in places that do it (see Austin over the past ~2 years). But the Boomers, as a matter of preserving their own wealth, have enacted tons of policies to restrict housing and keep prices going ever upward. That's why you've seen a backlash and "YIMBY" movements all over CA.
Right, but you get that is really nothing like coaching high school math students, right?
I’ve hired, mentored, developed, and sadly fired more devs than I can count at this point.

Activation energy cannot be trained. And that’s the prerequisite for just about everything, especially propensity for improvement.

We cannot develop talent in the same way pro sports teams do because there’s not a 50x difference between what we pay and junior or senior dev like there is in the NBA or a 1000x difference like in MLB or Euro soccer

The economics don’t support it. That’s the secret reason why schools matter still.
Germany shutting down nuclear power plants was truly idiotic move.
If you make the decision to phase out nuclear power, OK. But at least wait until something that is not hydrocarbons is in it's place and running.

wind+solar does not work.

wind+solar+energy_storage can work. It's not there yet.

Germany is buring brown coal, hard coal and natural gas.
Today, Israel's military doctrine is known to be anything but "targeted" even in their own words. From IDF general Gadi Eizenkot:

> What happened in the Dahieh quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which shots will be fired in the direction of Israel. We will wield disproportionate power and cause immense damage and destruction. From our perspective, these are military bases. [...] This isn't a suggestion. It's a plan that has already been authorized. (https://archive.is/YjfN5)

This "Dahieh Doctrine" is a marked departure from the United State's desired approach, especially as applied to urban warfare. And while Israel denies it so far, their reported application of the "Hannibal directive" and “Where’s Daddy?” targeting system are seemingly designed specifically to maximize collateral damage. If these preliminary reports are found to be true, it would suggest that Israel has automated the process of authorizing war crimes.

When comparing the tactical doctrine of the United States, Israel and Russia, it becomes pretty clear that each nation has forged an identity of their own. Israel's lack of tactical decorum is the very reason that their military relationship with the United States is jeopardized: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/middleeast/biden-weapons-deli...

Deadlocks were common; it uses a system of retries if the transaction fails; we had to disable transactions completely.

Next step is either writing a writer queue manually or migrating to postgres.

For now we fly without transaction and fix the occasional concurrency issues.
In 2014 it wasn't all that obvious yet that the future internet would largely abandon the Web and become mostly apps talking to JSON APIs.
A good language just gives you the necessary tooling to do whatever you want, it doesn't magically fix problems.

Only languages like C++ have a memory model that allows you to do lock-free programming for example (C and Rust copied the C++ model).

Also, what kind of serious person allocates memory from the system allocator in a real-time loop? Your problems seem self-inflicted. Regardless there are many allocators that optimize for concurrent allocations: tcmalloc, jemalloc, mimalloc...

Going from the M1 to M4 is barely worth the upgrade, is it really such a big deal it's been 4 months since the last MacBook Air SoC upgrade and it'll be another ~4 months until the next round releases on its usual schedule anyways?

Agreed with you there (:

I'm not sure where the healing process begins, on the larger scale. Parents with their children, I suppose? I grew up without TV; probably that twisted my mind a bit, so I recoil from that stuff somewhat automatically. It's something I wish upon others.
Switzerland total population is just over 8 million - so about 0.1% of total. I think "tiny handful" is correct.
Are you telling me that thinner isn't better? What else could you possibly want? Native pdf editors? Better and native applications to write, take notes, draw, and edit? Being able to draw/markup an overlay on the screen regardless of the app? Ability to ssh and use the iPad like a netbook? I think you're asking too much. It was a real great achievement that they made it thinner. Real creative thinking and this provides the most utility to users! The pencil is there for aesthetics anyways. And that's the biggest crime with the new iPad. That the pencil doesn't look different, so no one can tell that I'm using the new one from a distance. Big mistake Apple. Get your priorities right. It's not about making better technology, it is about status and getting rich. Obviously it is impossible to both make better technology and get rich at the same time, and we know which is more important.
Yes.

Heretical opinion: we should have much stronger merit-based gating on access to university. You can get in if you can demonstrate facility with real analysis, matrix algebra, and Bayesian reasoning.

I wonder what the internal experience is like SSHing into one of these Apple Cloud Server boxes.

I mean, sure, it’s similar to what you’d surely get running Terminal.app, but I mean I doubt Apple engineers are doing some internal equivalent of apt when they need something.

The answer is very simple. Leave the experiences in that you are most proud of and you can tell a compelling story about. That’s the purpose of your CV

Drop the rest. It’s just noise.
