For me if your a principal and you're only doing through others your either not looking at it right or doing it wrong. For basically everything I do, I ask myself the question: is this something that I should be doing directly, or something that other people should be doing, or something I should coach people up on doing train them, or build an organization around or whatever. In many cases I will build an organization and it will take 5 to 10 times longer than if I did it myself. But it keeps going for years after I move on to something else, as opposed to stopping the instant I stopped working on it.

What I say to a ton of mentees as they mature into staff/pe, is the important thing is to always figure out what is the highest leverage thing you could be doing. if it's coding, code. if it's writing a doc to explain to other people why other people should be coding, write a doc. if it is slowly nursing junior engineers through a multi-year arc that you could do in a week, maybe that's what you need to do tho I'm seconding guessing that one. But you definitely shouldn't be hanging up the keyboard as a tech ic.

Also as of this week at 9 years at a company, I have now shipped code in almost every language the company uses, and on all but: salesforce, an actual prod sagemaker model (all local prototypes), jira workflows, and SAP.
For the most part epigenetic traits seem to be transmitted by DNA too. Rather than being encoded in the pattern of base pairs, the epigenetic changes are made by slightly modifying the structure of individual bases. Think of it as adding tags to instructions.
>I say cannibalized, because avoiding eating your own species is a higher brain function that would've came far later,

Two convergent intuitions as to why this is true, but for the wrong reasons:

Species (maybe only [di?]morphic ones) rarely kill other instances of their own species, only maim - usually to the point of socially/reproductive shame/selective behavior; as infra-species violence is usually done for sexual signaling.

Like squirrels neutering each other, giraffes ruffling neck-fights, etc, it is not generally advantageous to actually hurt the opponent more than needed to signal dominance in a social hierarchy - this "gentleman" agreement is similar to all emergent collusion behavior exhibited by "free agents" in a limited pool; even without communication, the self-interested incentive to all follow a convergent rule will eventually emerge. Whether it be price fixing, social norms, or any other system where partially-regulated complex systems compete.

Additionally, for cannibalizing to be a positive-selective-trait, the species would had either adapted to eating the liver - the "resilience/filter" of a system, or had been "lucky" enough to identify/delineate/get repulsed by it.

Eating your own species liver would be nearly self-defeating-ly impossible from an evolutionary point of view and avoiding it but still eating your own species is too "taboo" (evolutionary artifact) of a benefit to ever randomly stumble into, especially against the benefits of 'good-sportsman-ship'.

This reminds me of another blog I enjoyed -- there's a link shortener called https://y.gy, and .gy is the Guayanese TLD. Venezuela was invading Guyana, so the y.gy owner wrote a whole essay about what it would mean for the .gy domain if Venezuela seizes their physical domain admin infrastructure. Crazy stuff. https://app.y.gy/blog/guyana-war

It seems to me that the human authors of the training text are the ones who have created the “world model”, and have encoded it into written language. The llm transcodes this model into word embedding vector space. I think most people can recognize a high dimensional vector space as a reasonable foundation for a mathematical “model”.
The humans are the ones who have interacted with the world and have perceived its workings. The llm only interacts with the human’s language model. Some credit must be given to the humans modellers for the unreasonable effectiveness of the llm.
I've never done one but here are the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
Can someone explain why the second puzzle would need this fancy three-dimensional solution? The area of each strip doesn’t seem important to solving it:

We need to cover the circle as efficiently as possible. That means having exactly one layer of strips. Zero layers doesn’t cover it, and two or more layers are wasted. As soon as you start using strips at different orientations you can’t escape an overlap somewhere. So, clearly the optimal way to do it is to use some number of parallel non-overlapping strips, and their total width will be the diameter of the circle.

Not sure if this isn’t rigorous enough or something, but it seems perfectly clear to me.
False dichotomy. You don't have to pick.

Leveling up other engineers through mentorship IS impactful. But I think you should have a roughly 1 level distance limit. Staff shouldn’t be mentoring junior engineers, they should be mentoring senior engineers.

Thus is an example of a rhetorical question.

You aren't asking for anything, you are making a statement.

Another example is “If y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog cause this is not what’s up.” which is a statement of innocence, not asking for anything.

No, that's not true. Those two cells require a lot of care and nurturing and education before they become a person.

Have you heard of HeLa cells?

They have a full compliment of human DNA, but no one in their right mind would argue that they are a person.

The Unix philosophy is "everything is a file". But maintaining that abstraction indirectly leads to edge cases like this where devs may be thinking in terms of a FILESYSTEM but some of the files are, in reality, a SYSCALL API/RPC INTERFACE. This makes every new filesystem feature a potential security risk. Is it worth the abstraction? I think so.

>It reads, to me, that you're saying that if police don't lie, then civil society can break down?

He's saying that if police doesn't have some flexibility (like using such tricks to get a suspect to confess), criminals end up getting to roam free, and this, all other things being equal, ends in a way worse society than one where police is allowed to cheat suspects.

Yes, it also emulates the 1 MB and 4 MB RAM expansions, and if I remember correctly, even the ROM cartridges for those very few games that used them. It also emulates a per-game virtual "memory card" (again, the Saturn used special cartridges for that purpose), giving each game its own space to save games.

>Nobel laureates cluster together. 696 of the 727 winners of the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, medicine, and economics belong to one single academic family tree. 668 trace their ancestry to Emmanuel Stupanus, 228 to Lord Rayleigh (physics, 1904). Craig Mello (medicine, 2006) counts 51 Nobelists among his ancestors. Chemistry laureates have the most Nobel ancestors and descendants, economics laureates the fewest. Chemistry is the central discipline. Its Nobelists have trained and are trained by Nobelists in other fields. Nobelists in physics (medicine) have trained (by) others. Economics stands apart. Openness to other disciplines is the same in recent and earlier times. The familial concentration of Nobelists is lower now than it used to be.

> I wasn't a Yankees fan during that same era, but I could respect Yankees fans because they also had a core group of players that stuck together

You are really talking about 4 or 5 players only. The yankees, along with the braves, brought in a lot of help along the way.

Also, the players don't determine who your favorite team is. You don't stop being a yankees fan because derek jeter retired. People tend to be fans of the teams in their area. Especially the area you grew up in.
Nearly identical to the one in testing at Android, appears this is the course they are heading. Not a bad design, a welcome change, but wish they focused on more QoL and longstanding issues such as a proper color picker (on any website that uses the built in web picker, you can only select from ten predefined atrocious colors, no option for custom values), changes to the ability of theming (something they are vehemently against is an OLED black for some reason, and forcing everyone to use that putrid blue-grey purple), enabling the use of "copy link text" on hyperlinks, context menu options for their addons, and better tab management (groups would be great).

These are reasons I am stuck with Kiwi on Android.
Refusing to hear the dogwhistles is much motivated listening as refusing to hear his condemnations of the far-right groups in that quote. Every listener has the privilege to infer the meaning and mind of their interlocutor given his utterances, and every speaker bears the responsibility of crafting their utterances to make their intended meaning understood by as clearly as possible by their audience. Yes, some listeners might interrogate an utterance in vain, looking for hidden meanings that just aren't there. But accepting the facile meaning of an utterance with total credulity is equally a losing strategy.

If you consider that a young horny male after watching porn and finishing himself off would be much less aggressive in seeking/forcing a woman, because his hormones have cooled off a bit, wouldn't that mean less groping and shitty behaviour against women?

Some research have been done about that:

https://annas-archive.se/md5/8b8fb4b900efc159d101ce16877dcb8...

My personal take on that and after speaking with several friends (married mostly) is that if your partner doesn't want it, porn can lead to a short-term peace in the family :)

Not sure about long-term consequences though...

But... DPRK soldiers getting access to the internet have been doing exactly that:

I still find it funny that my pretty new nVidia card takes several seconds to switch between resolutions while my 35 year old Atari could switch resolution several times per screen refresh. I made a simple game that had color display in low resolution on three quarters of the screen while the bottom had 4 colors and double horizontal resolution to fit more text instead. So resolution change was done 120 times per second without slowing down the cpu much at all.
Also , how many videos can be added to a playlist in YouTube? +100k seem unlikely.

> I'm not sure what you're after, but my point is merely to relay the rhetoric

I think many of us don't encounter that rhetoric in our own lives or in the lives of those we connect with, even those of us that are open about our own traditionalist or radical ideas.

So people are asking for the opprtunity to see where you're encountering it, so we can start to understand why you (some) seem so beseiged by it while others are completely oblivious and don't encounter it at all.

It seems like you're taking the vitriol and rhetoric for granted in a way that some of us can't immediately relate to, and that kind of thing makes people curious. It's clearly not a universal experience, so what's making it so different for you than for some of the rest of us?
