> I loved his articles in the ACM.

This is a super minor correction on my part, but this is a weird phrasing because "the ACM" is a huge organization that publishes proceedings for a great range of interests --- it isn't a venue in itself. The name of the venue you're looking to reference is Communications of the ACM, more commonly just referred to as Communications or CACM.

As an aside, Communications is a sort of unique venue for publication. The submissions are peer-reviewed, but the nature of the submissions is more similar to a blog post or editorial article than traditional papers you'll find in other proceedings from conferences and journals (and, indeed, the ACM refers to CACM as a "magazine"). It makes for good "fun" reading!
Why would a diaper even be returnable?
Maybe what's happening is the `printf` function is interpreting the memory address of the `String` object as if it were a pointer to a char array. This leads to it printing seemingly random bytes (which are actually parts of the `String` object's internal data structure) instead of the string content you expect.
Yep, I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and it's not rolled out there yet. I would rather wait than update my drivers out-of-band.

You can read the Project 2025 white paper yourself if you choose to not believe the reporting around it. It's public.
Honestly, it's pretty shitty to ask someone for a comment on a friday afternoon and publish on a monday morning pretending that they didn't reply when you likely gave them zero business hours to reply.
This explanation works for entry-level candidates but fails to explain why senior candidates are often expected to do similar exercises _in addition to_ any work experience they have.

New lawyers, doctors, and CPAs have to demonstrate textbook mastery to pass a handful of exams once in their career. Engineers are expected to demonstrate textbook mastery for every job they apply to _for their entire career_ (and often multiple times per application!)

Combat just isn't the core gameplay experience though. When people talk about Zelda they talk about exploring the world, about the plot opening up, about the puzzles they got stuck on. They don't talk much about their favourite boss fights, and when they do it's usually about puzzling-out parts (figuring out what you had to do to defeat x) rather than the real-time part.

I agree that there's some difference, but we wouldn't consider every game with quick-time events to be an action game. Fundamentally it's just a small part of the experience, and not a genre-defining distinction IMO.
> Often we’ll get people complaining about excessive interview loops, but when they describe the process it adds up to around 4-5 hours total.

I’ve researched and negotiated the terms of buying small businesses in less time.

4-5 hours is excessive for most jobs imho. You might be able to justify up to three or so for a C-suite position, 1-1.5 should be enough for most lower level positions, and anything beyond that is just institutional masturbation.

Collect a work sample, talk to them about work to see if they are like-minded in terms of working norms and habits. At that point, if it’s a hell yeah, then go with it. Otherwise it’s a pass. If a new hire significantly underperforms, just help them find a better place inside or outside of your org during the probationary period. If they are just leeches, then fire them mercilessly during the probationary period and revisit your hiring process.

I love firmware projects. It's not just about the security. Manufacturer's own software is often clunky, slow, and sometimes requires browser plugins (!!!). The hardware is usually OK, it's the software that makes these products horrible.
I agree that knowledge of local schools/teachers is helpful. But this misses the forest for the trees. My point (as another commenter who asked about parents as a market elsewhere) is that this could upend the entire education system. Who cares what my local school teaches for biology, if what I really need is for my kid to learn bio and get a good score on the AP test?

Furthermore, the fact that some people use in-person tutors doesn't mean that no one uses remote tutors. This absolutely happens. We live near Stanford, and there are tons of Stanford students who advertise their tutoring services on ND. These kids didn't go to local schools, and they don't know the local curriculum — they're from all over. But parents pay to have smart students tutor their kids.

I imagine that these parents would also pay to have an AI bot tutor their students if the results were good, the price were favorable, and the bot were (of course) available 24/7.

BTW, I'm curious where you live that "education technology" is called "edutech". You mention having been in the field a long time, but I've never heard it called this (always "edtech"). Where have I not been that it has this alternate moniker?

Old Intel NUCs make for nice home servers. Small footprint, low power, but has room to grow for standard storage and USB peripherals. You can pick one up on eBay for under $75, and it generally comes with everything you need (otherwise sold separately for Raspberry Pis): case, disk storage, power supply. Mine has a 5th generation Core i3 processor from 2015, but it more than handles everything I need: Ubuntu Server 22.04 and Docker containers for my self-hosted web services (e.g., Jellyfin, OwnCloud, Home Assistant).
Yet it remains true that not having magic evil talismans in my house makes it very unlikely that my family or I get cursed by accident.

I found this quote and I can understand, but if you are also lucky enough to know such people, couldn't you use such connections to help bolster your own career?

While there are people out there making millions joining the right company at the right time, imo I would be happy with making 150k at my next position (depending on the area of course, I really wish WFH was still popular to allow people to live in areas with a lower cost of living), an amount which the author seems to thing is not much. To be fair though, the also has more experience and seniority over me based on his article
You are correct! That was a lyric in a song. Thanks for correcting.
Ah I see. I think if you read what situationists and the like actually said, you'd learn that such examples of rapid of capitalist growth is precisely the object of their critique!

Like it or not, many thinkers in this era do not see liberalism as a particularly powerful answer or conclusion to the terror of facism they lived through or inherited. Quite the opposite in fact! And situationism falls squarely in this camp.

I gather you would not agree, totally fine, but that is different than asserting "they just didn't know how lucky they already had it."

But then again, from your original comment, what has gone wrong since? Why have we forever lost our safety and comfort? If it is not something intrinsic to what began during such reconstructions, I wonder what external force you have in mind?
I'm too cynical to be a mentor, ha ha. I too aware of all the engineering-led companies that ultimately tanked. General Magic is the first one that comes to mind.

But no reason for me to mentor — really it's just let the engineers drive. Sometimes it works (or sued to in another era), sometimes it does not. Either way, it will be a fin place to work. ;-)

Design and Control of a Bipedal Robotic Character (Disney Research) [video]
Up to a couple of years ago, before permanently moving to AMD GPUs, I couldn't even boot Ubuntu with an Nvida GPU. This was because Ubuntu booted by default with Nouveau, which didn't support a few/several series (I had at least two different series).

The cards worked fine with binary drivers once the system was installed, but AFAIR, I had to integrate the binary driver packages in the Ubuntu ISO in order to boot.

I presume that now, the situation is much better, but necessiting binary drivers can be a problem in itself.
This seems to be nothing like tsp. You'd partition the table into a single table per user, extract the page columns, map that sequence to the asked three-page-sequences (ABABA would get mapped to ABA, BAB, ABA), and count them.

That's probably doable in like 5 lines of pandas/numpy; a straight forward o(n) task really. The hard part is getting it right without googling and debugging, but a good interviewer would help you out and listen to the idea.

Maybe using Pandas is cheating since it gives you all the tools you'd want but I'd argue it's the right tool for the task and you could then go on how you'd profile and improve the code if performance were a concern.

Ooops. Missed that part.

Re-reading that story is kind of wild. I don't know how valuable what they allegedly got would be (silicon, graphics and chipset files) but the hackers accused Nvidia of 'hacking back' and encrypting their data.

Reminds me of a story I heard about Nvidia hiring a private military to guard their cards after entire shipments started getting 'lost' somewhere in asia.
>That "level of incompetence" is pretty much everywhere in society if you look around. Most of it you don't notice because its not your specialty and things mostly work anyway. Find any specialist in any field and they'll rant at you for hours about how broken X is.

This is something I've realized more and more as I've grown older. In my opinion, this stuff to 'clean up' it just more opportunities for someone like me.
>> It's almost as though people who are experts in a field should be in charge of making the specific regulations, with Congress tasking them with high-level objectives.

>You're literally advocating for a technocracy, which most people don't want.

You are the one equating experts making decisions with technocracy. No one here is calling for the replacement of elected representatives, just for those elected representatives to focus on the big picture while domain experts deal with the technical details. If that's technocracy, then it's widely popular, if it's not technocracy then complaints about technocracy are a non-sequitur.
Not necessarily. It's just that a lot of SPAs don't contain a lot of business logic because it's too tedious to do without a client side database; which means you end up offloading a lot of business logic to server side databases behind some kind of API.

Adding local persistence in the form of an actual database, allows you to do more of these things client side. Which means you end up with more business logic that you can cleanly separate from your data rendering logic and other cruft needed for e.g. form filling, data validation, and what not. You still need that of course but it makes web applications more similar to full desktop applications in the sense that the server might be a lot lighter or even be optional (other than serving the code and other assets).

I've actually been toying with building a Google Reader style application that stores its data in the browser recently. I use a few minimal server scripts to work around cors issues for fetching feeds and html previews. But aside from that, there is no need for a server. I can save local state (stored in indexdb) to a file and download it and then restore it from the same file as a backup strategy.

I've been adding search capabilities with tf/idf ranking, phrase matching. I'm using OpenAI to help summarize and tag content. And I'm currently adding a light weight vector search implementation. This is all running in the browser (except for openAI).

My goal with this is experimenting with RAG against news content. So, I've been piecing together things I need for this and raising the ambition level as I've progressed in the last few weeks. Most of this is probably not optimal and a big motivation for me is to just wrap my head around all the bits and pieces I need. But there's no good reason why most of those things could not be optimized with e.g. some wasm code that uses web-gpu for doing math and less memory intensive ways of storing stuff.

BTW, I'm using kotlin-js and kotlin-multiplatform which makes it easy to forget that I'm dealing with Javascript and very limited browser APIs under the hood. UI is still tedious to do but I have a growing amount of code that is pure business logic, algorithms, or other stuff you'd normally run on a server and implement in a language like Kotlin. Which is why it's nice to be using that in the browser.
I also had this idea before, and actually used several tools like this.

The main problem, is that I keep having new subscriptions, old ones are cancelled or changed, and then I have to keep maintaining this list, which ends up being out-dated very quickly.

Some tools use your connected bank account to check for subscriptions, but that is too privacy-invasive for me (and even illegal in many countries).

I am not sure what the solution can be in today's world.
Thank you for your feedback—it’s definitely appreciated. I believe I have fixed the performance issue, and it should run smoothly now. Please let me know if you still experience any performance issues.

Any idea of where his house was? "just south of Pleasure Point" is odd for a "house on the beach". There are a bunch of houses on the low cliffs looking directly out at Pleasure Point, then the O'Neill house, then the house bordering perverts perch by the Hook and then it's opal cliffs cliff houses down to Capitola. A bunch of cliff houses in back of Depot Hill and down Grove Lane and then you are on New Brighton Beach and a little down from there are the first real "houses on the beach". Seems a bit far for "just south of Pleasure Point". There are beaches below the cliffs but tiny unless it's low tide. But then I grew up in a Santa Cruz beach house so maybe I'm jaded and his description more metaphorical than literal...
One way they could take the watch analogy full circle is to give the case a hook and sell a little chain with it. Then it's a pocket watch.

> If you only know one thing about someone

You can know a great deal about someone at birth, such as race, gender, country of origin, eye color etc. Yet you can accurately predict someone’s wealth at age 60 by looking at their parent’s wealth even though a babies income is generally 0.

Further wait until someone’s 10 and you can measure IQ, grades, etc and parents wealth is still #1. Wait even longer and high school GPA still isn’t nearly as useful.
Using absolute across the board lesser investment to dismiss comparative investment is a bit sloppy and a red herring.

The thread you reference is criminality and infanticide, not parental prioritization of kids old enough to be known as gay/trans. I suspect most people don't know if their infant is gay/trans. I also assert there is a difference between prioritizing relationships and resources on a parent to child level and views on what should be illegal.

A gay or trans person probably has as much evolutionary value to society as anyone else, the fallacy you've fallen into from your prior post is to confuse that population level dynamic with the parents drive to pass on their particular genes.

It seems absolutely insane to me that it isn't even possible to consider the parent has an instinct to prioritize relationships and resources with children most likely to reproduce. It seems some want to work hard to make sure it isn't seen as a reasonable hypothesis, because if it were those feelings would be as valid and baked in as homosexual feelings.
> 4-5 hours is extremely reasonable to make sure it's a good mutual fit.

If it takes 4-5 hours to ensure a good fit, then that says more about you and/or the company than it does about the applicant.

Let me be charitable and say that some large orgs do the 4-5 hours to benefit the company via CYA and letting everyone get their chance to do interviews, but that’s just sloppy org-side waste.

As another commenter said, what actionable info do you gain in hours 4 and 5 than you already have at 3.5. I would to further and say what do you gain in hours 2 and 3 that you don’t already have at 1.5, and why are you so horribly inefficient in the event that you come up with a non-BS answer?

So much of the hiring process is corporate theater rather than optimal selection processes. I think most of the participants would do well to realize that.
> if you were smart enough to see all the problems in all your past jobs but those companies still went bankrupt, maybe you weren't actually the ideal employee you think you are.

If you're smart enough to see all the problems but the company goes bankrupt, maybe are were actually just the ideal employee.

For the vast majority of roles, tech and otherwise, hiring managers prefer to hire someone who'll ask questions like, "how high?" when told to jump, and not, "no" and "why?".

You should be senior enough to do the job well but not senior enough to make your boss feel like they're junior.

> if you actually look at the numbers, the average firearm is not used in self-defense

Those aren't really the numbers you'd want to look at, right? If you have a community with 1000 firearms and 499 of them end up being used in a shooting you could still assert that "most firearms are never used".

I think what you'd care about in assessing risk is: what is the likelihood of violent injury and/or death in household with firearms vs households without? Controlled for other relevant factors?

I've never seen this particular assessment presented in the way I've described it, but then again it sounds like there are some political hurdles to studying gun violence: https://abcnews.go.com/US/federal-government-study-gun-viole...
