In high school, I had a hamster who would spend all night trying to escape from his cage. At first, he was in a fancy plastic cage with tubes and stuff for him to run around in, but he figured out he could pop the top off of it, and one night my mother found him wandering around the hallway. We moved him into a glass cage with a screen stop, but he would climb on top of his wheel and jump into the screen until he fully dislodged it, so I ended up stacking a few textbooks over part of it to make it too heavy for him to move. He still spent every night for the rest of his life climbing up and jumping into the screen though.

Nowadays, my fiancee and I have two cats, and the antics they get into provides endless entertainment. One of them likes to "play" by laying down on surfaces and vigorously rubbing her chin against them, and the other has a weird obsession with trying to steal bread from us when we're eating (but he never tries to take any other human food). While not "reality TV", the silly and absurd behaviors pets sometimes have is part of the appeal of them, and I don't think it's a bad thing if people find it amusing to theorize what exactly is going on in their strange little minds.
Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street collectively own almost 20% of MSFT shares so they probably had a very large influence.

Great write up! Thanks for putting so much work into this investigation and report.
I can't speak for all use cases, but I've done a great deal of work in the space of using deep learning approaches for anomaly detection in network device telemetry. In particular with high resolution univariate time series of latency measurements, we saw success using convolutional autoencoders and GANs. These methods lean on reconstruction loss rather than forecasting, but still effective.

There is some prior art for this that we leaned on [1][2].

RE: transformers — I did some early experimentation with Temporal Fusion Transformers [3] which worked pretty well for forecasting compared to other deep learning methods, but rarely did I see it outperform standard baselines (like ARIMA) in our datasets.

> It really sucks right now

For me, it's been the opposite: the last 2 years have been the best time I've had working in tech since the early 2010s.

Around 2019 I was seriously considering leaving the field (if it didn't pay so much) as the entire industry had turned into a bunch of leet code grinding, TC chasing, mediocre drones. It was incredibly hard to find people working on actual problems let alone challenging/interesting ones. Nobody I worked with for years cared one bit about programming or computer science. Nobody learned anything for fun, nobody hacked on personal projects during the weekend, and if they were interest in their field it was only so they could add a few more bullet points to their resume.

But the last two years I've worked with several teams doing really cool work, found teams that are entirely made up of scrappy, smart people. Starting building projects using a range of new tricks and techniques (mostly around AI).

Right now there are so many small teams working on hard problems getting funding. So many interesting, talented and down right weird programmers are being sought after again. People who like to create things and solve problems are the ones getting work again (my experience was these people were just labeled as trouble makers before).

I'm probably getting, inflation adjusted, paid the least that I have in a long time, but finally work is enjoyable again. I get to hack on things with other people who are obsessed with hacking on things.

This seems unfair, since the author is also complaining loudly about working on crappy problems, ie ones created by incompetence or negligence rather than intrinsic complexity. And that’s extra annoying after many rounds of interviews with rocket science pop quizzes to discover the work is totally amateur hour.
Not even that makes sense because a "tractor company or heavy manufacturing company just churning out results for years" (that supposedly pays $10k/day) doesn't have exponential stock growth.

There is a huge difference between inflammation in response to injury and chronic inflammation caused by lifestyle choices like poor diet.
The short answer as to why capsule networks have "fallen out of fashion" is... Transformers.

Transformers came out at roughly the same time[a] and have proven to be great at... pretty much everything. They just work. Since then, most AI research money, effort, and compute has been invested to study and improve Transformers and related models, at the expense of almost everything else.

Many promising ideas, including routing, won't be seriously re-explored until and unless progress towards AGI seems to stall.

It is, actually. Completely restoring the environment means killing off 99% of humans and going back to a stone age existence. At which point our money would cease to have any value, hence the cost would be effectively infinite. We can maybe slightly reduce our environmental impact but keeping civilization means accepting a large amount of environmental damage. Anyone who believes otherwise is simply disconnected from objective reality and doesn't understand how the things we have are made.

The most common type of amplifier at audio frequencies usually works the same way, these days. ADC -> DAC. It fully decouples (signal-wise) the input and output (no possibility of distortion). And component tolerance is less important. It's also more power efficient, potentially exceeding 90%, since power loss only occurs when the transistors generating the output switch on/off, and at audio frequencies transistors switch almost instantly.

* It seems like DataHub has an async Kafka ingestion approach while OpenMetadata is API

We do not use Kafka by default. If someone needs kafka they can add it. However for Metadata APIs, we do not feel like Kafka is needed. Lot of projects are getting dependent on Kafka and calling it as real-time. Its unnecessary burden on users who are going to operate in production for 99% of use-cases Kafka is not needed, coming from a Kafka committer :)

2. Yes all of our APIs and Entity definitions are generated using JsonSchema. For us, Json Schema has been awesome, all of our backend / ingestion and UI is generated from JsonSchema and its easy to extend and add new models when needed

3. IMO, we have much more coverage , you can look at the types available here https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/tree/main/open... and we are support JsonSchema as a type from a long time

Almost every year my American football fantasy team is loaded with injuries. If your season is too long and close to the playoffs, teams will start benching star players so they don’t get hurt.

One of the worst parts for NFL are the divas who can’t control their off field behavior or emotions. I’m looking at you Antonio Brown.
You hear about the worst cases on the internet, but you see mostly of the average ones on reality.

Hazing people to invent some genial algorithm that all of humanity failed to for decades, except for some lucky individual somewhere; on demand, on short notice, with time pressure, and in a high-stakes environment will never be a good interview. But also, the people that do that do not keep interviewing for long.

Personally, I haven't been in an interview for a long time (as a candidate). But most of the "best practices" from the time I was are now common jokes. I have seen many of those practices applied, but even at that time there were many places that were reasonable.
You are not anywhere near the average in learning ability. Your experience is as an outlier.

Yeah I realized you are at a significant disadvantage by not interviewing in python especially when you get some problem that requires parsing some input. IMO it is worth it to spend a couple of weeks practicing python before doing any technical interview.
We explained the need for a centralized metadata repository here https://blog.open-metadata.org/announcing-openmetadata-20399... . Please give it a read.
Yeah, that's an oversimplification. It's a rack with a bunch of ports to plug in whatever 12-volt batteries aren't currently in use elsewhere. So when I retire one from the car, or a solar experiment, or replace a whole pile of 'em from a UPS and most are kaput but a few are still viable, they all end up on that rack, in parallel. (With fuses and stuff, of course. And I precharge each battery so it closely matches the float voltage before plugging it in.)

Presently I think there's like 30-40 amp-hours worth of lead and lithium sitting there, all charged by a little Meanwell RS-25-12 or something. I don't exactly remember, but the photo looks familiar. (25 watts at 12 volts tweaked up to 13.85 volts, so, roughly 2 amps.)

That powers the cable modem, wifi router, service pi, and a RIPE ATLAS probe. The first two eat 12-ish volts and have SMPS input stages so they're not picky about the -ish, so they just run directly from the battery rail. The latter two have DC-DC converters feeding them (the venerable MC34063 or something similar). Combined, their draw is just shy of an amp at 12 volts, so the rack with its current fleet of batteries can run several days with no AC input.

Realistically if power fails, I usually start the generator after just a few hours, so the batteries never actually drain much.

If I can find a good place to mount a solar panel that doesn't annoy the landlord, I might be able to unplug the Mean Well and run it independently indefinitely.
Did they consistently confuse per day and per week?

> Sure, it would be great to have big tech $30,000 per day comp packages

The "low rate" of $5k a day is $625 per hour and the big tech package is ~8mm a year!
A single exploratory ocean oil well costs as much as a Mars rover with design, launch and operations. There are thousands of them.

We owe our modern world to O&G, but by now they could be producing oil & gas from CO2 -> Methane using solar / wind (/ nuclear?) and the CO2 in the air around us.

The infrastructure to do so sounds enormous, but we gloss over all the diplomacy, wars, foreign & domestic wells, tankers, refineries, ports, trucks, pipes, gas stations, etc etc we had to build in the last 100 years to actually make O&G the everyday industry it is. How many trillions? The ROI was totally worth it, but maybe it's time for more I and less R.

It's not that the industry or even oil itself is evil, it's that we can do better.

You'd think that you would take digitalisation seriously in a company where 100% of your employees spend 100% of their working hours on a computer. You'd be wrong to think so though. It is what it is, but it's not exactly new. At least not in the world of enterprise where all employees have wanted for the past 40 years is an Excel that scaled. I once worked in an organisation where IT spent a lot of money (by company size) on a real world scenario roleplay of cyber security. They had this whole thing lined up in a fancy hotel to simulate a ransomware attack, and at the last minute the CEO canceled to go golfing and sent some personal assistant instead.

A lot of decision makers just don't care about IT until it really, really, doesn't work. Since IT is always sort of wonky though, I think that people are just so used to it being mediocre that they won't notice if it drops a little further in quality.
Absolutely not true, it means you might e.g. be living in Berlin, or in Germany or Netherlands in general. Not everywhere people are nice and in some places they place a particular pride in being assholes.
I think lately results of chat went downhill. I got used to asking "are you sure about that" after each chat answer to my question, and to most of the time the answer is "you are right, here is how I was wrong".

Far beyond the scope of tech staffing, yes.
I've thought about this a lot in terms of meetings that don't have to be meetings at my org, and I think it's essentially an adherence to protocol that communicates a kind of mutual awareness and respect for the performative expectations everyone is operating under.

Put differently, it's a kind of "parliamentary procedure": specific rules and expectations that everyone follows in the workplace to keep things "professional" and streamlined, in terms of interpersonal interactions. You may not actually give a damn about whatever the achievement is of Mx Boss, but you sending a congrats or party-popper emoji is sufficient to acknowledge that Mx Boss has done A Thing that Mx Boss thinks is significant.

You may not care at all, but saying that to Mx Boss would have consequences, even if it is the truth that everyone knows.

In the context of meetings-that-don't-have-to-be-meetings, it's (cynnically) a kind of show of fealty. I'm talking here about all-hands or whole department meetings, where every talking point is scripted ahead of time and you could pretty much just send the written up notes of what everyone is going to say already as an email and it'd save however many person-hours of work are wasted in just attending the meeting. For a while I was baffled about why our exec suite was okay with losing so much time across the org, then I realized in part it's an assurance of power: they declare a meeting, everyone shows up, and everyone is content within that social contract of how this stuff works. The point of the meeting isn't to convey information efficiently, it's to ensure that the power structure of the organization is functioning as expected.

I think probably Xcode should say something if one tries to. (concurrency checking is brand new in Swift 6).

Like the post says, it’s not always clear if you’re working with a class which inherits from NSCopyObject, so how does one “break out” of strict concurrency to copy an object like this?
Water tanks are the most likely source of radiation shielding: propellant tanks get used up and go empty, while for any lengthy mission, water is either going to be recycled back into the tanks or you will have to take blue water tanks and over time turn them into grey water tanks, either way you will have those tanks much more filled than the propellant.
I assume this is where you don't want to be, honestly no matter what the compensation is, it will destroy you.

> You also run into a lot of situations where the water heater is placed in conditioned space which makes any energy savings a lot more sketchy.

Assuming these were the prior positions of a non heat pump system, you've gone from creating heat to transferring heat; while both radiate heat, the heat pump is much closer to net 0.
It's true that the interview result can only be as good as the interviewer's skill and awareness of what to look for. Which will often be terrible. BUT that does point out a mis-perception of the interview process. You will do better by getting along, "figuring out", going along with the interviewers' plan - rather than trying to demonstrate your own cleverness. Not saying this is what @dixie_land personally went for in that case - but perhaps that if you notice the interviewer getting offended, you better figure out fast what you did and work to make them happy again.

If you can figure out what the interviewer is trying to get out of you, then give them that. That may or may not reflect a useful job skill, but that is an interview skill.
"Just solve it in decoder" is a perfectly valid approach for now, and if this turns out to be unrealistic then they can go ahead and add a conditional move extension or whatever it is.

It’s far easier to add things to interfaces than remove them.

One mistake they have made that may bite them later is their compressed instructions extension. It takes up far too much of the instruction set space for the amount of utility it provides, even on microcontrollers in my opinion. It also introduces lots of edge cases around word alignment across cache and memory protection boundaries.

You’re ignoring the D in R&D.

But all of that is irrelevant since these tax changes don’t actually increase tax collections. All they do is make it harder for a company whose product development and/or research is dependent more on human capital as opposed to physical assets, to start doing business.

It has no impact on established businesses (since their taxes will offset over a few years) and the only impact will be that more businesses are likely to fail before they become established than otherwise. Alternatively, more businesses are likely to outsource and offshore their human capital.

Even if the work that was benifitting was not “research” when deciding tax policy taxonomy is far less relevant than actual impact.

And unfortunately it looks like we’re on track to re-elect the people who brought us this atrocity in 2017.

My perspective aligns with your newer opinion. I have never studied for an interview, and cannot clearly imagine what such a process would involve; neither have I ever taken a CS course. A coding interview therefore feels like an opportunity to demonstrate my approach to problem-solving using the skills I have acquired over the years, which feels like a reasonable thing to ask of a potential future coworker.

My pet theory, after listening to people gripe about coding interviews for many years now, is that people who have gone into the workforce from a university CS program frequently mistake job interviews for classroom tests, imagining that the goal is to produce a correct answer, and that is why they believe they must study and memorize.

That is certainly not what I expect when I am interviewing someone! I want to see you work and I want to hear you communicate, so I can judge what it might be like to collaborate with you. If I can see that you are capable of breaking down a problem and digging in, asking sensible questions, and making progress toward a reasonable solution, I don't care that much whether you actually arrive there.
The way US courts compel speech without actually compelling speech is: They offer you two choices, either you go to prison for a weirdly long time, or you "choose" to do <performative thing that won't really reform you but the judge can use in a campaign ad to say they are tuff on crime>

That's how those weird judges are able to "make" young kids stand on a street corner wearing a "I did a crime" placard.
