I would not consider this news, but I am glad it has been written down regardless. This has been true for decades in Computer Science.

1. Undergraduate degrees: Getting things done, getting in on the ground floor. Needs to be screened rigorously because the high variance of graduates.

2. Masters degrees: Getting things done, but with enough understanding of the landscape on how to make money doing it. Usually pretty good in my experience.

3. PhDs: Getting research done. Are not necessarily good software engineers and need to be screened more rigorously than the Masters holders.

The problem for undergrads is the glut of graduate degrees squeezes out the undergrads, if _only_ for the experience level. With all other things equal, you take the PhD over the Masters over the Undergraduate simply because they are older and have more experience. Recruiters also don't want to have to filter through hundreds of undergrad applicants: it's much easier to trim that off and just look at the Masters/PhD applications instead.

You don't get a graduate degree because _you_ need a graduate degree. You get a graduate degree because _others_ need to see it.
Use UTC + convert to local time for display if the time is a global event, i.e. something that happens at the same time everywhere. E.g. an online meeting, conference start time, missile launch schedule, etc.

Use time + timezone if the time is always local to a particular user and should follow their time zone. E.g. wake up alarm, eat breakfast schedule,

The problem is these definitions are already a bit fuzzy and it's not always clear which type it is even to the person creating it.
It's crazy how our purpose in life really is just to train another human or two to predict like we do, once per lifetime. Then we die and the new human has to do the same, all over again, a little bit better this time - maybe.
Tesla added back the radar and improved the cameras in HW4. My guess is that ultimately they'll converge to a similarly capable sensor/compute suite with Tesla improving theirs and Waymo paring down.

Dev fonts is usually synonymous with fixed width (mono) fonts, and for good reasons. Those reasons are discussed by iA Writer in interesting detail [1]. However they do so as a precursor to their own duospace font, "iA Writer Duo" [2].

It's a compromise, but one that works well (for me). Basically IBM Plex but with m, M, w, and W being 50% wider than all the other characters.

Sounds odd, but is very legible and usually fine depending upon the context of its use.

LLMs are already better at this than humans:

https://x.com/petergyang/status/1707169696049668472

I think it's actually going to be the other way around. We'll build infrastructure exclusive to AVs where the rules are too complicated for humans, but allow AV traffic to move more efficiently. For example, an AV shouldn't need to stop and wait at a red light if there's no traffic to wait for.
Fortunately, for glibc, the most controversial decision (setenv/unsetenv/clearenv leak) has been made decades ago. It does not look like something that can be changed, so it's actually fixable in the glibc context. But this puts pressure on other libcs to adopt essentially the same approach (even if they don't leak environment strings today), so that's not universally popular.
AI appears to have automated aspects of the job scientists found most intellectually satisfying.

The reason people hate specialized roles of scrum masters/delivery leads is that they often lack the E2E understanding and therefor are inadequate owners.

JavaCardOS can run in a USB-form factor as well. But that will not be 5USD. https://usasmartcard.com/usb-token/?page=1

In addition to FIDO2, you can add java applet for OpenPGP (also open source), TOTP (https://github.com/JavaCardOS/Oath-Applet) and PIV/smartcard (open source as well). I tell you more - there are tons of JavaCardOS compatible applets available on github etc.
I’m looking at the product page [0] and wondering how those two statements are compatible:

> Bufstream pricing is simple: just $0.002 per uncompressed GiB written (about $2 per TiB). We don't charge any per-core, per-agent, or per-call fees.

The first English language film that comes to mind for the Spanish civil war is For Whom the Bell Tolls. It's been a while, but I don't think it has much discourse about the causes or the background for the war - but films often treat those subjects either as assumed background information the audience already has, or as something that is not needed to identify with the characters and enjoy the narrative.

So you could use it, but it would need to be accompanied by supplemental factual materials. But I think that is true of many, if not most, non-documentary popular war films.
We use C# “decimal” type on backend for high-precision calculations. Frankly, we do not trust third-party libraries when it comes to mission critical calculations. We would better stay safe with well-tested enterprise frameworks like .NET.
I think part of the problem is that they decided to use the computers for every class instead of using computers in classes about computers.

Tell kids to do open ended history/english research on a computer, they get sidetracked and waste time.

Tell the kids to do a computer thing on the computer (like use math as to solve this question), they have a much more focused task at hand and will use the computer as the teacher intended.
The context here is protection from government surveillance...but I have had similar experience dealing with immigration and to a lesser degree taxes where less resources could have been spent.

The government has the ability to get massive amounts of data about you quite easily. What "protects" you from negative consequences of this is the processes, rules, and procedures baked into the government itself, not copying the communication style of some Hollywood mafia movie gangsters.
I think the Lysenkoism of our age is all people are equally intelligent and equally good at all things, thus one size fits all education is an ideological imperative. There are too many unacceptable facts that lead to conclusions that contradict this ideology in the kind of approach you're talking about.

If all children do not perform roughly the same, ideologues will not think that people have naturally different talents and abilities, but instead think there are implied violations of laws protecting against discrimination in education. That being said, I'm sure homeschoolers and people not indoctrinated, even those with lesser abilities, will really appreciate this approach.
Thanks so much for your kind words - is there anything you like in particular we should double down on? Super keen to hear your feedback!
> the argument being that having employees eat these instead of bagged chips/candy would reduce your health care spend in the long run.

Source? It seems far fetched to assume employers making long term decisions in a world where people get laid off on a whim. What's the average seniority, couple of years? To me it seems more likely that it's what employees want.
Your site doesn't work by that standard. English<=>metric distance eventually comes down to how accurately you can represent 1/127 (because 1in==25.4mm). 1/127 repeats after 42 digits and you only support 28.

You can't give exact answers without representing everything as fractions, even for the easy ones like mm to miles. With that being true, anything more than JavaScript's own precision is probably unhelpful.

The kind of person solving problems where they'd need to convert between miles and mm would rewrite the constant as "1mi = 1,609,344mm". No one in the real world is adding up 0.0001mm intervals until they get to a mile, so you're solving for a problem that doesn't actually exist.

"collected over time" is the operational phrase. You should be able to determine causality, at least partially, if you know the change in correlated variables occur at different times.

I think the other side of this is, how would one enter the pool of eligible PHOSITAs participating in establishing obviousness? If the fear is around blocking out individual inventors or small companies, that's reasonable -- but can you earn that money by being a reviewing participant in several other applications? Can we even give people and organization "application review credits" that are earned through reviewing?
Agreed. When I was practicing 5-6 times per week my sleep was a lot better. Unfortunately my yoga school closed during the pandemic and I started training Muay Thai in my neighborhood. Sometimes I'm so tired from training it's actually difficult to sleep. With only doing asana practice I can sleep 7 hours and be fine, with Muay Thai I need 8-9 hours to recover.

If you want to do "great things" in the industry, you will need to learn the equivalent of what people learn at university.

You cannot make up the difference by simply "working more", universities provide structured learning environments. If you insist on skipping the university system, you could do leetcode, hackathons and similar competitive behavior to discover your skill deficits and to connect with others that might give you some access to the industry.

Just the same: there's no point talking in terms of wild exaggerations (e.g. Putin/Belgium); that's Trump's territory.

Have you flown a modern fighter jet while suddenly your helmet integrated flight displays and navigation went out and you had to reorient yourself and rely entirely on nothing but your knee-mounted false horizon mid-maneuver, while attempting instrument landing under - and I quote - “extremely challenging cognitive and flight conditions” where you due to repeated electrical glitches have lost faith in the aircraft and in particular its ability to transition back from SVTOL to regular flight operation? Because that was the situation that you claim was fine.

You can keep an otherwise fully functional aircraft in stable level flight using a horizon, but that’s neither interesting nor relevant. This was not a lightweight aircraft cruising above the clouds with nothing around it.

My understanding is that smaller rouge plants do not form in isolation and are always the product of ejection.

However, the categorization again is fuzzy, with definitional overlap between "planet", "sub-brown-dwarf", and "brown dwarfs"

Planets cover spherical objects ranging from 0.001 Jupiter masses to stars at ~80 Jupiter masses.
Brown dwarfs range from 3-80 Jupiter masses.

Brown Dwarfs are planets and can form outside of an accretion disk. Planets smaller than brown dwarfs are not thought to be able to form outside of accretion disks.
I've never taken Spotify or any other music streaming service seriously. They are a joke for the same reason Netflix is, they only play limited licensed content so their selection inevitably drops and drops until everything you search ends with zero results. Obscure indie artists? Forget it.

Add average 4G reliability to that and you have a service that never has what you need, and if they do it never works when you need it (e.g. long car rides in the middle of nowhere). And then they expect you to pay for it or listen to ads too. Nothing beats a good ol' folder of mp3s. And 128GB of the average phone can store many an mp3.
yeah, you could argue that the RIVA128 was the first successful PC GPU that didn't require a separate video card, but that's not the same thing.
As someone who believes in Anthropomorphic Climate change, that graphic is just horrendous. Here is another XKCD to explain why: https://xkcd.com/605/

To be less punchy: Most of the data on the graph is on a scale of 500 years and the data is filled in with dashed lines. Starting the late 1800's we suddenly have real data(what is the update frequency?, how does that compare to previous data?)

Here is the note on the graphic: "Limits of this data: Short warming or cooling spikes may be 'smoothed out' by these reconstructions but only if they are small enough or brief enough"

What is small enough? What is brief enough?

You're suggest technical solutions to social problems, and those rarely work out in the long term, especially with adversarial parties. Better to solve the problem at the source.
Each section has 'why not' and 'when should you', so really it's a "Do (only) when" recommendation.

I don't see sufficient justification for "Don't use serial"--the some weird behaviors links to a 404 page.

The "Don't use varchar(n) by default" reasoning is similarly weak.

This post doesn't doesn't give enough detail reasoning to be self-evident, and other than the quality of formatting could be a collection of anyone's blog posts. Some recommendations seem to be solid, but mixed with the arbitrary ones loses some of its recommendation strength.

> Essentially you should be tolerant of others, unless they themselves are intolerant.

No, it's called a paradox because there is no "easy" answer to it. Also, who determines the exact line between free speech and intolerance? It is impossible to do. The reason the world is polarised today is because everybody thinks they have the simple answer to a literal ethical paradox that has none. The simple answer being: "those that share my beliefs are OK, those that don't should be canceled/demonised/hidden somewhere I don't see them." Thus creating echo chambers so people get more and more radical.

Free speech is the only half acceptable answer, which means free speech for anyone, whatever their point of view, however offensive you deem them to be. Rowan Atkinson explained it more eloquently that I ever could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUezfuy8Qpc

Takes some setup but once it works it’s great.

In college 2004-2008 I was ridiculed a few times for thinking Neural Networks were interesting. The way I saw it was human intelligence was built on neural network. All we were missing were sufficiently accurate models of neurons or scale.

In middle school I estimated to rival the processing power of a human brain you would need the processing power of an Empire State building full of Pentium 3 processors. It was a pretty rough calculation. I'm having a hard time remembering just how it went.

Parent comment does not say that their preffered, nonetheless the only way to "leave the fossil fuels in the ground" is to pass laws mandating that, nor that they favor a "destroy capitalism first" approach. Leaving fossil fuels in the ground by say encouraging the adoption of another energy source like solar has thus far been a successful strategy.

I'm well aware of the prices increases over the summer. But in october, I noticed the price drop to the $2 range. And then all of a sudden, the price increased to $4 the past week. Which would have NOTHING to do with your links.

If there's a plan for the Olympics to be car-free then its success or failure is surely unrelated to the size of the (presumably tiny) fraction of cars which are self-driving by that time, though?

In other words, if people are reliant on cars for transport for the Olympics then whether they're Uber / taxi / Waymo doesn't really make a difference.
Talk about not actually listening. You are scratching the surface ignoring everything else in the video.

> zero attention when humans do them all the time

Literally his whole channel is about the problems with humans. This one video is about AVs. That it doesn't get more headlines in general is part of the problem.

The more important point that you ignore, is that we already know how to make things much saver.

> and self-driving cars don't suddenly fix that (something which was never promised or expected?)

Except the companies and all the fans who constantly claim that self driving will be better then all public transport and solve future urban problems.

To say that nobody makes such claims is just a strange ignoring of reality.

And you again, ignore the deeper point that self-driving cars reenforce these problems and potentially make things worse.

> - whenever you mention reducing millions of human-caused traffic fatalities, use a sarcastic tone of voice

Not sure what your point here is. The point of the video, partly is that we can already reduce the traffic deaths by far cheaper means then AV and nobody cares about that.

So all these claims about the amazing benefits (that hasn't been delivered) is mostly just hiding that what these companies really want is profit and the politicians want campaign benefits from these companies, rather then improve safety in the city.

Again, the point being that AV as currently sold and advertised re-enforce existing problems, rather then solve them.

> He says it himself: self-driving cars are just cheaper taxis.

He didn't say that. He said, 'at best they are cheaper taxis', but at worst the have many non-beneficial impacts on society.

And more important, there are simply better solutions.
