The main body could pretty easily be injection molded plastic, which can be very cheap and still quite precise. You could even overmold the plastic onto other components (at more cost, and depending on what the deisgn "inside" actually entails).

A teardown of this thing would be pretty cool to see what's taking the scrollwheel motion and translating it into movement on the watches crown. That could be a (relatively) simple set of gears set onto some stamped aluminum sheet, which can also be fairly cheap.

Also never underestimate a Chinese OEM when it comes to making something (at any scale) fast and cheap. They could maybe be in on a % of sales too or something? The company selling them may also be gambling and put an order in for 10s of thousands to get the price they want/need and may have to sit on their inventory for quite a while and are risking losing money on the whole. Who knows.

Hey!

As a current university student in the tech world, I know the pain of the current job market. I applied to 300+ internships before landing a role and it was a pain to have to switch tabs to open Excel and write down the job details in order to track where and when I was applying to roles.

This is why I decided to create Active Apply.

1- Login and make a job spreadsheet
2- Download the Chrome extension
3- Start applying and saving time!

If you're tired of constantly switching tabs and manually entering job application details into an Excel sheet, or if you want an effortless way to track where you've applied and see the status of each application—whether it's interviewing, accepted, or rejected—then this extension is perfect for you!

Happy applying and best of luck!
I suspect it's mainly the reduced maintenance and reduction of workload needed to support, especially with more platforms coming to be supported (not so long ago there was no ARM64 nvidia support, now they are shipping their own ARM64 servers!)

What really changed the situation is that Turing architecture GPUs bring new, more powerful management CPU, which has enough capacity to essentially run the OS-agnostic parts of driver that used to be provided as blob on linux.

> Except it's not a context switch? You're jumping to another instruction in the program, one that should be very predictable. You might lose your cache, but it will depend on a ton of factors.

Java virtual threads are stackful; they have to save and restore the stack every time they mount a different virtual thread to the platform thread. They do this by naive[0] copying of the stack out to a heap allocation and then back again, every time. That's clearly a context switch that you're paying for; it's just not in the kernel. I believe this is what the person you're replying to is talking about.

[0] Not totally naive. They do take some effort to copy only subsets of the stack if they can get away with it. But it's still all done by copies. I don't know enough to understand why they need to copy and can't just swap stack pointers. I think it's related to the need to dynamically grow the stack when the thread is active vs. having a fixed size heap allocation to store the stack copy.
Reactive drivers were not about 1000 connections, they were about reusing a single connection better, by queuing a little bit more efficient over a single connection. Reactive programming is not about parallelism, it’s about concurrency.

I use IBKR for data, but you could also get ticker data from Yahoo Finance or other similar sources, albeit manually since they don't have an API afaik. A simple although simplistic way to backtest ideas like this is Portfolio Visualizer [0], you need an account, but a free one should work. I've uploaded a screenshot of a sample run where the top company in SP500 was held for a year and then swapped out if needed on an annual basis [1]. There's a few things I'd like to highlight.

Firstly, for a considerable majority of history, often for years at a time, holding the top one company, I'll just call it SP1, underperforms the index. The maximum downturn for the SP1 was 79% and I think very few people could stomach holding that for years at a time, hoping things will improve.

Secondly, pretty much the only reason the SP1 strategy comes out on top is the fact that AAPL has gone up about ten times (!!) in the last decade or so. Whether that's the new norm in the markets or an absolute anomaly I'll leave up to you. In short, the only real reason the SP1 strategy has looked favorable, and I suspect the same holds for the SP10 and SP50 if you backtested them, is that Apple has seen its value skyrocket.

Needless to say that none of this is investment advice etc.

Compared to established leagues and competitions:

- this will attract less TV revenue

- this will attract zero match day revenue (ticket sales, concessions, etc)

- this will have much higher logistics costs

- there will be less money to pay/attract athletes

- the athletes will have nothing to do outside of performing and training (no nightclubs for the kids, no bringing family along for the grown ups)

- the commute time between Earth and Moon means the athletes will have to live out there during the season

- there will be no crowd noise on the broadcasts unless it is faked (as happened during covid)

- the lower gravity will weird some potential viewers out (how many? don't know… but it will surely suppress viewership to some extent)

I am not saying this will never happen, but next decade feels wildly overoptimistic.

The point of these products is to use a natural language interface to accept freeform questions and produce intuitive and potentially complex responses.

Weather was just an example. You can't predict every combination of weather related questions that someone might want to ask and force those into predetermined response strings.

The idea is to be able to ask things like "What days this week are best for having an afternoon picnic?" and get a reasonable answer back.

If your goal is to hide as much of your personal information as possible from 3rd parties, you're not in the target audience for these products. Nothing wrong with that, it's just targeted at a different demographic of people.

(Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead).

The important question in the OpenAI work that you haven't touched on is how to evaluate superintelligence. I guess I would frame the problem like this:

Let's say there is a very esoteric but important branch of abstract mathematics that only a few people claim to understand. Is there a way for us to determine which mathematicians are actually intelligent, and which are bluffing? How?
_Really_ handwaving here, tl;dr in a pure cycle scenario its resolved but it seemed it didn't help much compared to the number of footguns available. ex. felt like on iOS you'd cover 90% of cases by just "just do [weak self] in every dispatch_async"

In Android you have to remember that, and there's this god-object called Context that you use to retrieve strings, images, and layouts (~XIBs). Each Activity (ViewController) has one and its incredibly easy to accidentally retain it, and thus the whole screen.

The standard way of handling button presses / whatever IBActions are now also would cause it, and these heavily used things called BroadcastReceivers would usually be spun up when an Activity was started, and instantly form a cycle with the Activity that for some reason can't be noticed easily.

Sorry for the handwaving, it's been very strange spending so much calendar time working on something I had to understand a lot less. (tl;dr: solo founder that shipped a point of sale system to 2,000 restaurants starting on iPad 1.0, had to get to 0 leaks all by myself. versus the warm safe blanket of bigco).

This Medium article is an excellent overview I used to remind myself, though the AI art is incredibly shitty, enough to make me wonder if the article is plagirized. https://medium.com/@naeem0313/top-10-android-memory-leak-cau...

Just downvote or flag. It looks like you only have 17 karma so I don't think you can do either (I know you can't downvote, I'm not sure what, if any, threshold there is for flagging), so the best thing to do is to ignore it. Contribute to the site until you get enough karma, and then downvote/flag this kind of nonsense.
Yes makes sense, in the long run it should make their life easier. I just suspect that the move itself was a big effort. But probably they can afford that nowadays.

Time in the markets beats timing the market if you actually have capital to throw around to gleam a decent 5% yearly return. If you don't have much capital, you have to time the market like hell to build up your capital to a level where 5% yoy actually is a decent amount of money.
So I feel I strongly fall in a poor performer interview category any time any code problems come up. How would I convince you I do not have a fraudulent resume?

I study hours every day for many years now. I know many complex systems however studying algorithms bore me to tears.

I've built HPC clusters, k8s clusters, Custom DL method, custom high performance file system, low level complex image analysis algorithms, firmware, UIs, custom OS work.

I've done a lot of stuff because I can't help wanting to learn it. But I fail even basic leetcode questions.

Am I a bad engineer?

There seems to be no way for me to show my abilities to companies other than passing a leetcode but at the same time stopping learning DL methods to learn leetcode feels painful. I only want to learn the systems that create the most value for a company.

I imagine if you interviewed me you would think I wrote a fraudulent resume. Not sure how I am supposed to convince someone otherwise though. Perhaps I've been dumb in not working on code that can be seen outside of a company.
Your outrage sounds disingenuous. 1.5 days is definitely not a reasonable timeframe for a response to a partially resolved issue. What is 1.5 days in this context? Friday afternoon and Monday? Do you and their security engineers even live in the same time zone?

I stated with a generalization, if you intend to counter that you should probably pick an exemplar of a generalization yourself. Otherwise you're not even wrong - what you're doing makes zero logical sense. Even if I were to say that yes a person making $400K is reasonably well off and should feel secure in their finances that is still does not counter my generalization.

One is a fuzzy and subjective measure of how much software a team can develop in a sprint, the other is a precise measurement in a single dimension. I could sit there and try to calculate how many expertise-adjusted person-hours each team member represents, then estimate our capacity that way, but why fool ourselves with that kind of false precision? Just eyeball it the first sprint and then observe how much we get done. Explicitly tying story points to time just invites abuse of the velocity by managers who don't understand how scrum works.
I confirm this! My son is 10, finishing 4th class. We're constantly 6-9 months ahead of his class. I think he once in those 4 years got note 2 (one below highest), every other one was the highest. Vast majority of his math classes look like "oh I know that" or "oh I remember that, just need a 5 min refresher". Thanks to it, he has more time for other subjects. His stress level at school is close to zero.

I disagree. Maybe and only if it's paid and paid well. Maybe $150 an hour. Not many who are good will put up with that; because they don't have to.

This seems like standard election year fear mongering and ignores much of what NOAA is and does while fixating on how it will affect the individual. Weather forecasts for you and me is just a side effect of their providing weather forecasts for all those air planes and boats along with keeping up to date information on various hazards like that new antenna tower planes need to watch out for or that a major storm system coming through the midwest is likely to cause a great deal of sediment to collect in certain areas of the Mississippi so decrease the load of your barges if you want to make it to New Orleans.

Business and international trade partners would put a great deal of pressure on any administration which threatened to screw with NOAA to this extent and I don't believe any administration would actually follow through with such a thing, it would have massive negative effect on trade and would probably cost the US far more than it would save. This is just politics exploiting that most people don't actually know what NOAA does.
Some things are better left as a public good so everyone can benefit. Hurricane and Tornado warnings save lives. Why would we want to limit that knowledge?

The proposal is not to eliminate the NOAA, but to lock it behind paywalls run by private companies. Accuweather already packages up the NOAA data feeds and sells them. This proposal will just eliminate any way for an average citizen to get access to the same data Accuweather gets for free. We will still be paying for it, just will have to pay Accuweather for the privilege of accessing what we've already paid for.

I always looked forward to the acknowledgements at the end of thesis defenses, in biology at MIT and Harvard. Different fields have very different defense cultures. Most have brief acknowledgements. Biology... had an art form. The audience is friends and family. Associated labs turn out in support. The format is tiled photo slides. I've seen thanks to inspiring teachers, by name, from kindergarten to graduate. Pets, childhood and current. A stuffed animal. SO's and spouses. Children existing and pending. Family immediate and extended, alive and missed. Lab mates, friends, colleagues. And their assorted group adventures, road trips, and hijinks. Hobbies and communities. Staff, collaborators, advisors, committee. Brief tales of trials and tribulations, in research and in life.

The stories of group fun strike me as the biggest delta vis TFA. And stories in general. Plus the tears. And the interesting slips - "... to thank my husband, <name of professor not husband, oops>".

The defenses were recorded, but distribution was usually limited. I've thought they might be great things to somehow share with younger students, contemplating college or graduate school. Being able to see people like themselves, coming out the other end. Having had a blast with friends along the way. There's a tension between intimacy and broadcast. Perhaps someday we can start scavenging older ones?

I so miss surfing defences and research talks. :/

I think this is a very important post; thank you for writing it. In general, if your kids don't trust you then fixing that should be your first priority before you start pointing fingers everywhere but inward.

Parenting looks very very hard and I'm not implying this is easy - being worthy of trust is one of the hardest things in all our relationships. I do, however, think people need to reckon with the fact that a lot of the time the bad thing teachers are protecting kids from (or at least trying to) is their home life.

This is a bad solution to a bad problem. I dont think teachers are qualified to do this nor do I think they are in a position to do it safely but I do think it is important to help kids get out from under abuse.

I think more community would be a better general solution so it isn't just an underpaid, overworked, and opinionated government employee vs an underpaid, overworked, and opinionated parent with the kid crushed in the middle with no outside help they can turn to.

Yup. Anecdotally, I see a lot of folks trying to run wine/games on Wayland reporting flickering issues that are gone as of version 555, which is the most recent release save for 560 coming out this week. It's a good time to be on the bleeding edge.
Or you can just not use ai and build your own sentiment analysis metric that is actually going to work. E.g. maybe you make a word cloud of a bunch of recent news articles, you identify certain candidate words as positive sentiment or negative sentiment. Now you can score any new article by counting pattern matches with either list. Not really much initial work to set up, and you probably get much higher quality results than what hallucinating ai would get you, if you happened to find that magic prompt that is.
Math anxiety... it's a real thing. My wife has a brilliant level of intelligence but refused to approach the higher levels of math. Not out of lack of capability... just fear. She says things like "Math should have numbers in it, but no letters. I'm not about the kind of math with letters in it." And for example, she never completed her psych degree because a statistics course was required to complete it and she didn't want to take it.

It's like a fat person going to the gym for the first time. But once they start getting into the habit of working out and seeing the improvements, the anxiety goes away.

Anyway, congrats on overcoming your math anxiety.
