That isn't really true though. People are different and there is nothing wrong in acknowledging that. You can't say Von Neumann is fungible with Donald Trump.
Yeah, you're making the exactly point of the parent comments: remembering sophomore-year CS courses != being a good developer.

You might as well be quizzing people on Calculus. That's another thing you study in a freshman-year CS course, so you must remember it, right?

(I'll say this: I've had far more practical occasion to use Calculus than binary tree manipulation in the 20+ years of my professional coding career. Particularly with AI.)
The “do not use in station” is a really important sign to follow.
For two main reasons:
a) because there are untold amount of apps relying on the old things
b) because the people working on the language are not the same people working on the frameworks.
The big promise of RISC-V for embedded was that vendors would not have to maintain toolchains like that. There's no real benefit over using a proprietary core if you have to maintain your toolchain.

That's a big reason why they use Arm cores.
Lets say that the legally allowed limits of various pests which might infiltrate food production were taken as a guideline and 90% of those limits were intentionally added as filler, with the remaining 10% of the legal limit as a safety factor against recalls.

Would you agree that's a bad thing? This is intentionally dumping waste in a diluted form; but right in front of the possibility of a sea of cars which happen to not be in a traffic jam (35+ mph IIRC?). Well maybe the motor-home is safely and slowing taking the curves on a narrow 2 lane highway with no real opportunity for passing with a bunch of cars backed up behind it, forced to endure the exhausts.
It’s not unethical if people in positions of privilege and power do it to maintain their rightful position of privilege and power.

Well Houston has a massive space industry too (hence why they call it "space city"). My thought has always been that he's been becoming more frustrated with CA for many years, but he just moved from SF to LA, and now he's moving From LA to Austin and Starbase, when (in my mind) it would make more sense to build and design the starlink satellites (among other things) in Houston where the space industry is much stronger.

You do bring up a good point about JPL being in LA, which would certainly have been why he originally started SpaceX there. That used to be the only focus of the company. I was thinking more about starlink just because that's what the article focuses on (among a few other things)
I guess the political party who is doling out the money? They get more votes because they get to be the saviors.

Yeah, I grew them. I didn't sequence them for identification, but they were phenotypically P. Cubensis, as advertised on the spore syringe.

In neither case was it a big deal in the long run (not exactly great vibes in the short term though). I used to be a pretty enthusiastic user, so "just two times" is indeed uncommon.

Hopefully with the recent trend of decriminalization we can get together some respected data about this sort of thing. I still believe that psilocybin has been a net positive thing for most people who have tried it (including these two cases).

Even if the seizure thing were confirmed, all the conventional wisdom re: tripping remains unchanged. Be in a safe place with trusted people, consider a trip sitter, etc. On the other hand, I think having the data might help drive some better decisions: Situations you might avoid (e.g. swimming), etc.

> They do that because HR looks for it.

You've described a beautiful symbiosis.

Half the people in the interviewing process see keyword stuffing as pointless bullshit, and only care if you can reverse a linked list in a language of your choice.

Half of them only care about keyword stuffing, and will send your resume in the shredder if you don't do it.

And the third half see anyone trying to avoid the nitpicks of the second half as a person to expose as a fraud.
making everything a string, for example. representing string length with null termination. splitting shell variables into words after variable substitution (rather than having a list type). a zillion shell-script bugs when filenames, directory names, search strings, etc., contain spaces. not having user-defined subroutines in sh or awk. no command-line editing. command names and options that read the same as you type them (thus forcing you to choose between unreadable commands and commands that are too unwieldy to type comfortably). no tab completion. more generally, no interactive feedback on what is going to happen when you submit your command. no job control. having to retype command output as new input all the time. table layout that only works with fixed-width fonts. filenames limited to 14 characters. no text search through previous output. hardlinks rather than reflinks. an inflexible security policy defined in the kernel. the reification of . and .. in the filesystem. exposing the layout of filesystem directories to every program that enumerated directory entries. no way to undo rm or mv. no screen editors. arbitrary line-length limits all over the place. . in the path. textual macro expansion as the primary form of higher-order programming. backslashed backquotes. backslashed backslashes. total precedence orderings on infix operators. slightly different regular expression syntaxes for each program. self-perpetuating at jobs. etc.

a lot of these have been fixed, but some are hard to fix

So to preface, I'm not looking for a job (trying to build my own company)

When I do interviews (probably limited compared to you but some) I do it like I wish someone would interview me.

I focused purely on curiosity. how many things disparate things are they interested in, the things that overlap with my knowledge I probe deep. I believe in Einsteins quote.

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."

If someone knows about how RDMA and GPU MIGS work they are probably pretty damn interested in how HPC clusters function. More importantly can they compress this information and explain it so that a non technical person could understand?

There are so many endless number of questions I could ask someone to prob their knowledge of a technical field it kind of upsets me that most of the time people ask the most shallow of questions.

I believe this is because most people actually study their fields a very limited amount, because most people are honestly not truly interested in what they do.

The biggest implication of this is that I may be able to tell if someone has this trait but I understand that the majority of people could not as they literally don't know the things they could ask.

Asking system designs of me if you aren't knowledgable of the field would probably be the easiest to see the complexity of systems I can build.

Such as?
Maybe. But you don't ask someone to "figure out a binary tree cold"...you ask them to do it while talking and coding on a video call (sigh).

Go solve a hard puzzle while talking on the phone. Does it make you better or worse? I'm just saying...if someone needs a hint for the trick, but then, post-reveal, bangs out the code under the same circumstances, isn't that telling you something interesting?
On the other hand, he could’ve very easily found another way without the gun.
Americans are stereotypical for getting enough to eat, and working out was less of a luxury than a way of life for a people that consumed steak and cheeseburgers in the local family buffet. Now, being muscular is expensive—you still get easier access to protein in the US compared to Europe, but young Chinese men these days, they’re all tall, they work out (well, many of them).

Physical health is the most important thing in society, one should not live in a country that doesn’t promote their individual health, growth, strength and power. It seems at least the CCP has prioritized this, at least as far as the notoriously unbiased South China Morning Post reports.
I'm playing around with LangChain and LangGraph (https://www.langchain.com/) and it seems like these enable just the sort of mechanisms mentioned.
Why teach kids stuff that will be obsolete by the time they come of age to work?

AI is going to do to most subjects what calculators did to arithmetic, and desktop publishing did to cursive writing. Is anyone learning their times tables and calligraphy today for everyday use?

Sadly, star trek had it right — once you’re hooked up to the borg hive mind with neuralink, it’s not even clear what any individual has to add to “the collective”.

It’s more than that, because the VC money willing to put up with such long delays for payout can certainly invest in companies anywhere in the world.
My issue is it seems to be you have to dedicate your childhood to getting into a top 10 college.

I have teenage children who are looking at starting high school. I've been looking at Youtube videos reading books etc. It seems the only way is if you get straight As, start charities, get national awards, write amazing essays and have "significant impact" in your community with leadership positions. No normal 14 year old naturally does this, realistically it seems you can only get anywhere if you hire a coach to help you do all those right things.

I also actually hire a lot of graduates and most of them are great but many from the top schools are just burnt out and really dont want to work any more - if they did all that stuff I'm not surprised.

System seems screwed up.
>What it boils down to is that companies have zero idea how to hire.

Yeah, certainly doesn't have anything to do with hordes of people with make-believe degrees in everything.
Your last paragraph explains perfectly what happened to me during the dot-com bubble burst in 2001. We're seeing similar situations now.

This time when the music stopped playing, I had a stable job. I'm holding on to my current job like it's my first born child. I feel bad for developers who are in-between jobs now, I know it's really rough out there, and I know what it's like to go on interviews and see happy well-paid people with far less experience going about their day, while looking for a job was my only job and it paid nothing. I've sat at a bus stop in tears because I didn't know where my next rent payment was coming from, right after being in the fanciest offices in town with some of the dumbest developers that wouldn't hire me because they were protecting their job, they knew I was too good for their team.

Now I'm a lot older, and my current problem is ageism. My current job may be the last one I ever get unless the job market improves significantly.
My experience with matrix has been very poor. Ticks all the boxes on paper but ends up being quite buggy (or maybe the element client is just terrible). Its too the point that I dont think its a real competitor.

It’s a recognition that the extreme majority of websites don’t benefit from being a spa.
NASA has always relied on contractors, as has the rest of the US government, whether it's the rockets used in the Apollo missions, or the tanks used in WWII. The government generally isn't in the business of building anything; they work with contractors to build stuff according to their specifications.
The countries allowing CC are - unfortunately - in the minority in Europe.

Among the ones that do allow CC, most of them that’s a special permit that seems to have an exception to the storage requirements for personal protection.

I lived in the US for a few years in the 2010s. It was an overall positive experience, but one could easily see the social thread being pulled extremely thin, which is why I left. I've lived in many places, but in no other first world country have I been face-to-face with someone who actively hates me and wants to beat my face in for not being destitute like him or for not having the same color skin as him (and this in a supposedly safe part of town). And it didn't happen only once.

Every country/kingdom/empire eventually faces the crisis of financial inequality, where the rich become so obscenely rich and the poor so desperately poor that the majority lose faith in the system. This takes decades, sometimes centuries, but the slow drift towards inequality is a tidal force that requires periodic fixes in order to avoid a bad fate.

Some older societies engaged in pot latch or jubilees or other means of peaceful redistributions of wealth. Others suffered revolutions or civil wars after the people completely lost faith and engaged in mob rule to achieve their justice.

Sister comments talk about other places being politically unstable, but of the first world countries, America is currently the least stable by a wide margin. Next to America, France looks like a shining beacon of a functional system.

There are many places to live in that are calm and stable, and some of them even have decent economies to boot (I'd name a few, but then the local curmudgeons will seep out of the woodwork to wax poetic about their local storm-in-a-teacup).

So yes, there are options. The quickest test of stability is the rich-poor divide. The real question to ask yourself is: "Do I leave, or do I stay and try to fix things?"

> One could spin this idea even further and train several models with radically different world views by curating different training corpi that represent different sets of beliefs / world views.

You can get good results by combining different models in chat, or even the same model with different parameters. Model usually gives up on hallucinations when challenged. Sometime it pushes back and provides explanation with sources.

I have a script that puts models into dialog, moderates discussion and takes notes. I run this stuff overnight, so getting multiple choices speeds up iteration.
Ah my bad, I read it on my phone and read it as "he hates his daughter". Sorry.

But that is a function of apple doing their best to make the watch an extension of the phone rather than its own device.

There is nothing inherent in the hardware limiting you from doing these things, but my understanding is that Apple makes it hard to do.
> I don't believe there are any known pharmacological effects from psilocybin or psilocin that would cause any of that

What are your qualifications to make a claim like that? There hasn't been much clinical research in humans using psilocybin until very recently [1], and they certainly do not cover the range of different species of mushrooms that contain the alkaloids [2].

There's a very simple change to the reward function that fixes this: make block reward proportional to difficulty. There's a real implementation called Ergon. I wish everyone wasn't so poisoned against it now that it was possible to talk about interesting ideas without sounding like all the scammers.

The original people who were involved in Bitcoin had gold bug mentality and that directly created the early adopter advantage that makes Bitcoin so unfair.

Have you looked at the processes, there might be some service that has become a hog.

Another possibility is that you have written a lot files to your SSD and/or your filesystem is near full. Another issue might be excessive swapping. Once the wear levels or saturation on the SSD hit a certain threshold, they can become very slow.
I am not using Wayland and I do not have any intention to use it, therefore I do not care for any problems caused by Wayland not supporting NVIDIA and demanding that NVIDIA must support Wayland.

I am using only Linux or FreeBSD on all my laptop, desktop or server computers.

On desktop and server computers I did not ever have the slightest difficulty with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers, either for OpenGL or for CUDA applications or for video decoding/encoding or for multiple monitor support, with high resolution and high color depth, on either Gentoo/Funtoo Linux or FreeBSD, during the last two decades. I also have AMD GPUs, which I use for compute applications (because they are older models, which still had FP64 support). For graphics applications they frequently had annoying bugs, unlike NVIDIA (however my AMD GPUs have been older models, preceding RDNA, which might be better supported by the open-source AMD drivers).

The only computers on which I had problems with NVIDIA on Linux were those laptops that used the NVIDIA Optimus method of coexistence with the Intel integrated GPUs. Many years ago I have needed a couple of days to properly configure the drivers and additional software so that the NVIDIA GPU was selected when desired, instead of the Intel iGPU. I do not know if any laptops with NVIDIA Optimus still exist. The laptops that I bought later had video outputs directly from the NVIDIA GPU, so there was no difference between them and desktops and the NVIDIA drivers worked flawlessly.

Both on Gentoo/Funtoo Linux and FreeBSD I never had to do anything else but to give the driver update command and everything worked fine. Moreover, NVIDIA has always provided a nice GUI application "NVIDIA X Server Settings", which provides a lot of useful information and which makes very easy any configuration tasks, like setting the desired positions of multiple monitors. A few years ago there was nothing equivalent for the AMD or Intel GPU drivers, but that might have changed meanwhile.
Lol, georgeskin.

Not investing in people (and jobs) is a two-way street; there's always someone young and naive to think hard work and investment will be rewarded, and most companies have been around long enough to have set the assumption that "No it fucking doesn't".

The new guys need the most investment. Companies hiring are actively teaching them to be jaded by not investing in their employees.
