Not that they couldn't reserve on the ads screens a narrow (let's say 100-200 pixels tall) band at the bottom of the screen to show the path with the green and red lights like the (good) ol' system.
The more interesting is whether the ability of reason and solve problems scales linearly or logarithmically.
You are responsible for your choices, yes.

But it sounds like you are bringing up the exception rather than the rule so don’t know what to tell you there.
Considering the human side and impact of the systems we design and build doesn't preclude knowing the technical stuff. Claiming it will cripple engineers is quite far fetched.
Getting a URI too long error unfortunately - I guess you didn't want to store state in a db but storing a few points shouldn't take much space? The URI is 13k characters long unfortunately for 8 lines (guess you are storing all the state including balls?). Could you perhaps leave out balls to make urls shorter?

For example this quickly grows the url:

Surely you mean "agile desk arrangements"! (What a euphemism)

That would actually put me off working for Amazon (though, I mean, there's a lot that would). I like working from an office, but I did _not_ like the hot-desking that I had to do post-pandemic because our office wasn't big enough (my employer eventually let people who come in frequently get assigned desks, and it's been a huge quality of life improvement).

Probably a very over simplified example below. Because data doesn’t usually drift in this obvious way. It’s usually more subtle and happening over a longer period.

My model is learning on my business data of orders over time.

People keep ordering every day. but usually in small amounts.

But today we got a new customer and they put in monthly orders which are 1000x larger than all other combined.

They are going to keep making orders for the next year or so. At which point they stop ordering from us.

Two data drift “episodes” here:

1. When we get the new customer. We’ve now got an outlier. They aren’t like all the other customers. How’s will the model react to this when being trained? Will it skew the output? Do we exclude the new customer in training data? Or do we change the model to account for them?

2. When that customer stops ordering after a year. Now the outlier is gone. But maybe we changed some model settings and tweaked it a bit to account for it. Now we need to account for that customer not being around anymore.

Data drift is a big PITA.
> They can perfectly recall, process and copy all information they’re exposed to.

I'm not sure if it's better or worse that the computers can do that while the AI running on them get confused and mix things up.

> And they don’t have a self preservation instict like people with bodies do.

Not so sure about that, self preservation is an instrumental goal for almost anything else. Even a system that doesn't have any self-awareness, but is subject to a genetic algorithm, would probably end up with that behaviour.

Also likely far more power and heat efficient.
We had some really interesting developments in machine learning before LLMs - they were slow but steady, every week something interesting came up. And them came the LLMs and basically most money started flowing in this direction, for better or worse. It's hard to say whether it makes sense or not but what has been achieved already has some value for some particular tasks.
Did you mean Java-flavoured?

In C#, EF Core already implements a repository with the way its API is structured so most of the time writing another one on top of it is an anti-pattern.
Keep things as simple as possible, but no simpler. The point of this isn't to introduce complexity for no reason, it's to free up the domain model of an application from low level details like persistence, i/o, network protocols etc. What's the Rust way to do that?
If you are OK with running a Google service, how about Recaptcha V3? No captcha to fill in, just validate the score it generates on the backend.
But why does it have to be a VSCode fork? Couldn’t it be a VSCode plugin?
Security through obscurity, then :)
I think the easiest way to think about this is in terms of natural numbers, ie. 1, 2, 3, 4.

When you only have a fixed width, ie. a static feed forward network, you have an upper limit to the data you can represent and compute on.

Eg. if the highest number you can represent is 1.000, then you will need a new NN if you want to do computations on 1.001.

... or use an inductive structure, like a recurrent neural network has.

SoC 2 gap analysis tool
Many business owners often wonder if they need to get a full SOC 2 certification immediately to secure big contracts. The good news? You might not need to rush into full certification right away.

Many companies today use Vendor Risk Assessment questionnaires to evaluate their vendors. If your company is well-prepared for SOC 2, you can often pass these assessments without the official certification.
Where do you draw the line? Since you say this is purely dependent on Putin's subjective perception, and since you can't read his thoughts, would the logical consequence be that we need to just let him do unopposed whatever he wants to, out of fear that the smallest grievance could result in nuclear armageddon?
This, to me, seems what imperialism apologists are arguing for. Ignore the war of aggression, ignore the genocide, rape and murder of civilians, sacrifice Ukraine to protect Putin's ego, and just pray that his greed stops at that and that he won't continue given another opportunity.
> in the use of their navy

Come to think of it, the causus belli of 1812 was Royal Navy impressment of US sailors: I can easily imagine some Sir "stick close to your desks and never go to sea" Joseph being surprised and wondering why the americans had been so confused as to miss the main point: providing manpower for Britannia's rule of the waves was in their own best interests, after all.
> you can have apnea without snoring (sometimes the other way but not as common)

Got a source for the "not as common" part?

From my personal anecdotal experience snoring without apnea is excessively common. Most of people whom I had a pleasure hearing snore would just go on in a steady rhythm and that's it.
We have this motto in our company -

I think that this type of thinking has been very harmful to our industry.

Of course, life is about people. Business is about people. Plumbing is about people.

But what makes software special is code.

And this sentiment leads to horrible conclusions.

If software is about people, not code, who would you expect to manage it better - an engineer whose undergraduate and graduate training was in code, or a business MBA whose training was in people?

If software is about people not code, then who should be prioritized, management who is managing people, or engineers writing code?

This is similar to the Jack Welch mindset of buisiness are more about playing financial games than building great products and it has resulted in the doors blowing off of airplanes in flight.
Advice on Reading Homer in Translation
Within a renderer you can access NodeJS APIs directly. The main process shouldn’t be used for any significant computation, as it will block GPU paints and cross-process synchronisation.

The other main difference is Electron bundles a known set of APIs, given the known Chromium version. There’s such a huge variance of supported features across the embedded web views.

Disregarding consequences, acting impulsively, etc are major signs. So no disregarding safety concerns and getting into an unsafe situation really is sociopathic behavior.

there is a good introductory presentation in https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_13.html but note that it assumes some previous familiarity with quantum mechanics. §13.6 explains that mostly what the electrons (really propagating waves of quantum probability amplitude for there to be an extra electron) are scattering off of is imperfections in the lattice. but that can't be the whole story or all perfect crystals would be superconductors
Let's also spread human feces around every workplace. It's only fair, because sewage workers also have to deal with feces.

Not sure about Amazon, but I work for a big US corporate that is making similar noises. I suspect "sometimes" basically equates to how much your more immediate management chain wants to keep you around, because after a few steps up the chain, you're PYs and percentages rather than an individual. Your more immediate management would have targets, but if 80% of their group's hours are logged in the office, it probably doesn't show up as a red light higher up.
Iron Material in Enamel of Rodents Could Also Make Human Teeth More Resistant
In our past, this seems a community thing: Someone in your neighbourhood had advanced knowledge in welding, someone else advanced electricity, masonwork, clothes repair, ... They could coach other people to a basic enough level and help if unexpected troubles popped up. The community as a whole had knowledge and basic apprenticeships built in.

Today, repair is something you do on your own. Things like youtube are a great help, but the community aspect is lost.

Software is a product and products have users. Well engineered software is open to meaningful modification like other well designed products.

The sentiment expressed in the article is well appreciated by people capable of receiving it and entirely missed by many developers who cannot. While the distinction of people and code is valid it’s not really the problem. The problem is deeper, it’s self orientation versus communal orientation.

A self oriented developer will focus on things like perceptions of easiness and solutions written by strangers. Communal oriented developers will focus more on architecture and documentation because they want the internals of their work to be receptive for other people.
I agree, but I also think that sometimes looking at the data we have holistically is a good idea.

as the most extreme example; we paid too high a blood cost that shall hpefully never be repeated in civilization again with the Holocaust. But some of the findings in those experiments to have value (I know many of the experiments and findings are worthless from a medical sense). I don't blame anyone at all that takes a moral stance to burn such data in order to discourage any backroom experiments from trying to repeat this, but some of that knowledge was used to save lives.

>The real question for such an ethics-free look at a business is whether the unethical bits of a business can be really disentangled from the interesting bits in a meaningful way. That is very often not the case.

I believe it can. a lot of the advice I read here is just good business sense.

>Your goal here is to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible. That’s the number one goal of this production company. It’s not to make the best produced videos. Not to make the funniest videos. Not to make the best looking videos. Not the highest quality videos.. It’s to make the best YOUTUBE videos possible.

This sucks to hear as an enthusiast focused on research, but this is honestly just talking about scoping and focusing your goal. very common business sense. But your goal hopefully isn't to shovel out slop with clickbait thumbnails that maximizes engagement.

> This is what dictates what we do for videos... If a viewer feels their expectations are not being matched, they’ll click away - driving down the crucial Average View Duration that informs how much the video is promoted by YouTube’s all-important mystical algorithms.

This is about making an engaging hook. Again, good business sense you'll hear launching any product.

This is definitely for clickbait (and the interpretation here focusing on AVD over quality can be scrutinized), but you can balance this and make a good hook without outright lying.

>An example of the “wow factor” would be our 100 days in the circle video.... we bring it in on a crane 30 seconds into the video. Why? Because who the fuck else on Youtube can do that lol.

crude language, but they understand the competition, and what they can and can't do. Ideally the lesson you get here isn't to just "outspend your competition", but that you need to understand your strengths and highlight them. Mr. Beast mindhacked the algorithms early on and uses those funds to do stuff others don't have the Net Worth to even attempt.

etc. It's possible, as long as you keep a moral compass in mind while understanding the undertones of the advise.

When I first started reading this my first thought was “Ehh, maybe I don’t need to formalize my thoughts on ‘retirement’ into a blog post if this does a good enough job” but it’s focusing on something a little different than what I’d like to write about I think.

Friendly reminder that remote work in IT was a thing way before the pandemic. I for one started working from home full time in 2015.

Perhaps a better way to frame the problem with taxes would be to somehow invert the culture and narrative so that paying taxes was itself a sign of wealth, not how large your bank account is... i.e., the more throughput you facilitate flowing through the system, the more wealthy you are.

Would they lack anything? I picked these three specifically because I tested them recently on new hardware I got.

Working from home has advantages, but my boss also cancelled home-office. One big customer of us went for extensive home-office. And since then that company seems to be paralyzed. Workers there are openly doing personal stuff during video meetings. And it became impossible to get any decisions. A lot of people just don't have the discipline to work unsupervised.
This fashion was not uncommon before the 20th century or so.

For example, Daniel Defoe’s seminal work from 1719: The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrates. Written by Himself.
I’m sure the role is meant to have some sort of value, but in the last decade I’ve only seen one human do a good job of it.

That person delivered value to the team and made a tangible difference to velocity (removing blockers) and effectiveness (retros, reminding people to apply lessons learned). As a consequence the team worked well and delivered good things.

The other Scrum Masters I’ve worked with seemed to operate on the assumption that having Master in their job title meant they knew more than everyone else.

I enjoy cycling, long rides upstate here in nyc.

But I’ve never understood how it can be a social thing, as you are on a bike isolated from other. It feels like the epitome of being alone with my thoughts in the woods, not interacting with others in real life or electronically.

I know people do it and I keep meaning to try, but part of the reason I never get around to it is I’m not quite sure I understand how it would work.
