> if you're fresh out of school in your early twenties,

I would argue that starting a startup at that age is a bad idea for most. it was a different time 20 years ago. plus most of those success stories are people who were already well connected.

Tech has mostly matured and there are processes in place for good releases. you're better off working for other startups and learning what a good work culture looks like. worst case, you learn what to look out for from bad work culture. more importantly, you make mistakes on someone else's dime or better yet, you have a mentor who helps you avoid the bad decisions in the first place.

Plus its not like being older makes you age out of starting a startup. I recently turned 40 and the startup I cofounded 4 years ago is profitable. I wouldn't have succeeded with what I knew 20 years ago.
A simple title attribute would be an easy addition.
Robbert space industries.

People paid for something that took forever to materialize but were somehow excited to be part of the process.

Innovation right there!
Performance is my heuristic. I can't make it quantitative, because 100M records in 1 minute might be considered fast for some use cases, but slow for others. For me it's the qualitative "is this thing too slow?".

Personally, I see a dataframe library as a last resort. I prefer to improve the algorithm, or push more things into the database, or even scale up the hardware in some cases. If I've exhausted all other options and it's still too slow, then I use a dataframe library.

But then I'm not a data scientist. I've found that data scientists have a hammer that they really really like, so they'll use it everywhere.
Which has many interesting facets worthy of discussion! No need to be extremely aggressive in your tone.
They're not used to live. I imagine that's it. All their caching infrastructure is there assuming the content isn't currently being generated.
Loughla is spitting truth here.

Those of you in the rat race, when you get home after a hard day and an hour of sitting in traffic, please, just sit in your car for a minute or two. Shed all of that. Pick a tree in your front yard and name it your worry tree. Before you go in, leave your stress/worries/frustrations with it. It won't stay gone but the intention will make it so those first five minutes when you walk into the door you can be present and enjoy your kids, instead of just bringing in a ball of intensity they won't understand.

Those memories of 'mommy's home' or 'daddy's home' shouts of joy when you go inside are pure gold for the rest of your life.
Yeah didn't they crash on love is blind or one of their reality shows recently-ish?
Yes, it was utterly boring, but they made their money. I don't like either Paul brother, so I only watched in hopes shorter, much-older Tyson would make Jake look as foolish as he is.

I made a mistake too when I was adding and copy-pasting numbers. US is at 39.55% low-emissions electricity. So I got the ranking right but originally overstated the size of the gap.
Yup. Also a bit more latency since it's effectively restreaming unless it's someone at the actual event.

Just wondering
> Manoeuvring a three mast ship of the line takes multiple synchronised actions involving hundreds of men, at least a significant fraction of whom need to know what they are doing.

They needed to know how to do relatively straightforward tasks (many of which were unpleasant) when directed. Same as any other structured military force or industrial line. It was not sophisticated for the vast majority of sailors. Skills varied to be sure.

Debating soft terms like skillful, sophistication, and value will not definitively answer the question of a calculation. We look to other signals, like culture. The culture was such that the ships (including weaponry and anything else worth salvage) were more valuable than manpower by virtue of the historical figure sentiments. I have not seen a compelling contradiction.
The post was from Poul-Henning Kamp, who writes a lot of drivers for FreeBSD. Him having this laptop is good news for future compatibility.
Obligation to ship is overrated. Not everything has to be made in a crunch time marathon. There are lots of avenues to be explored without the constant pressure to perform. I think it's a good thing if they take their time crafting things.
It's a joke. Claude will explain it to you.
I've been re-watching Silicon Valley the last few weeks and just watched the Nucleus live stream episode 2 days ago, pretty funny seeing it in real life.
It was all a big misunderstanding.
All it does is send the image to Llama 3.2 Vision and ask for it to read the text.

Note that this is just as open to hallucination as any other LLM output, because what it is doing is not reading the pixels looking for text characters, but describing the picture, which uses the images it trained on and their captions to determine what the text is. It may completely make up words, especially if it can't read them.
> A focused, alert driver

I dislike how tesla kills situational awareness. It is the central touchscreen.

The model 3 and y and cybertruck put everything there - both status and control. You have to look to the side to see the speed of the vehicle, and the gearshift is on the touchscreen.

The S and X both retain a dashboard in front of you, but most of the controls moved to the touchscreen.

And the removal of stalks from all models have moved turn signals to steering wheel buttons, and most of the rest to the touchscreen.

I think the cars are really well designed, it is just that these user interface choices make you worse driver.
What more proof do you need other than the fact that streams went down worldwide on a highly anticipated event from a public company?

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of engineers at Netflix are currently now writing up a length post mortem of this.

And this is from the company that created the discipline of chaos engineering for resilience.

It is clear they under invested and took the eye of the ball with this.

This is bad, like very very bad.
> Take home tests or whiteboard tests or whatever are ok to use as a filter, but people aren't points along a one-dimensional "quality" line.

They are unless you're going to hire everyone who ever applies. At some point, you're choosing between two candidates, and the only way you can make that choice is by projecting them onto a one-dimensional line. The approach you describe:

> stop thinking about how they might fail and start thinking about what it would look like if they succeed. They'll have different strengths and advantages.

is one method of doing that, but not an especially effective one.
AB84 streamed it live from a box at the arena to ~5M viewers on Twitter. I was watching it on Netflix, I didn't have any problems, but I also put his live stream up for the hell of it. He didn't have any issues that I saw.
And decent part of these users are on free tier, so they are not paying for it. That alone gives you some level of forgiveness. At least I am not paying anything for this experience.

Why is it acceptable to share that it doesn't work but not acceptable to share that it does?
If you play perfect basic strategy on a six card shoe at the Wynn your odds are a matter of some dispute but a reasonable consensus figure might be on the order of 1% to the house, or a hundred basis points.

Only professionals can maintain perfect basic 21 for any serious stretch, a tourist who keeps their wits is probably at something like a 4% disadvantage, or 400 bps.

I was making fun of people who sit down at a table with Citadel as their counterparty and don’t consider it gambling.
the project author is Devrel from Together.ai. This is a fantastic way to advertise a dev tool, though.
When they come up with that idea it's the most 18-rated and accurate way an engineer would think about it.
I really liked the book “Implementing SSL / TLS Using Cryptography and PKI”. When trying to understand certificates and TLS, there always seemed to be some tricky bits that most explanations glossed over. In this book, the author builds a working TLS implementation in C, which means they have to cover all the details.

Why would you generate SQL using another programming language? To me that sounds like something you'd only do if you're deep in an ORM with no escape hatch. For data analysis tasks, that's extremely unergonomic and you should definitely just write normal SQL. Use the ORM for CRUD. I've never seen an ORM that won't let you drop down to regular SQL for ad-hoc queries.

Editor completion is an extremely low ranking aspect for choosing technologies for data analysis. If SQL is the better tool but you're not using it because it doesn't have editor completion, then you need a better editor. It pains me when people prioritise "developer experience in VS Code" over "actually the correct technological choice".

Harsh but true
I've given Netflix a lot more money than I've gotten value out of. I've had an account for ~15y and only really use it for airplanes unless there's a specific thing I'm excited to watch.

I'm in the same boat where as soon as they make it too hard to share, I'll probably cancel it. I think the main reason their sharing crackdown hasn't been a problem so far is that I use it so seldomly, it thinks the "main" address is my parents, which makes it easy for me to pass the "are you traveling" 2FA on my own phone when I do want to watch something.
> But the issue isn't that the evidence didn't meet high standards -- it was that there wasn't any evidence at all. In many cases, the plaintiffs who filed these lawsuits dismissed them voluntarily, not even trying to put forth evidence.

Similarly, there is no evidence of shoplifting in San Francisco. Prosecutors don't even bring cases, let alone bring them and then dismiss them voluntarily. Therefore we can clearly conclude there is no shoplifting at all there, let alone shoplifting at a scale that would affect commerce.
Joules per character
I didn't understand, how would you use the information given by the bookie ( the prices) to find inefficiencies in that same information. Unless the bookie made arithmetical mistakes?

From the abstract it sounds like maybe they are finding differences across different sportsbooks, i.e. arbitrage?
I think this is right, but both of those largely escape microsoft branding. I think a better example would be XBox and Windows as a gaming platform (vs macos, though Linux is definitely gaining ground). Windows itself, and especially Teams, have very negative reputations.

I see a lot of people in this thread who probably couldn't solo circumnavigate Long Island in a Catalina 30 that suddenly think they're entitled to criticize this accomplishment. Go try 130 days of 4 hours sleep a night through the roughest oceans on the planet in a tiny sailboat.
I was in high school in the early 00s, and going to the movies was such a big part of my life. Now, I never even know what's out.

I suspect life stage is a factor, but it does feel like there are many classes of entertainment (cinema and standup come to mind) that don't resonate like they used to.
Well ads have informational value. They are very reliable source of what a candidate or a party wants to convey. They are a way to be heard.

I don't know any place where journalism is unbiased. Not saying it doesn't exist, maybe it does in some high trust society but it's definitely very rare. USA has it easy because there are only 2 parties and both have partisan media behind them. In parliamentary system with many parties though there is a problem of small ones not being heard. Ads are one solution to that. Social media/Internet in general is another. Incumbents have huge advantage in those systems because of media control, connections to journalists etc.
On cable(terrestrial is entirely different) even the bandwidth or spectrum is less limiting for broadcasting multiple games. Hard thing is the other parts of production, like cameras, live-directing and live commentary. Adding new channels is less challenging than actual producing content at expected level there.
"Murdoch type media" outlets are those with a greater interest in pure profit, exercising influence, and serving owner interests that extend outside of media alone. The balanced presentation of news is of minor interest and a means to an end rather than a primary goal.

This, with Murdoch, harks back in a lesser way to his father, then to his expansion into the UK Fleet Street and eventual transition in US media, in Canada with Conrad Black, in the US pre Murdoch with Hearst, Pulitzer, Samuel Insull and Harold McCormick, in the UK pre Murdoch with Alfred Harmsworth and the like.

These are people who have all had large significant media outlets that have engaged in extremely partisan positions with respect to wars, the economy, favoured political candidates and dumbing down discourse.

> I see little to no actual respectful and thoughtful discourse these days

In the 1890s the fierce competition between his World and William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal caused both to develop the techniques of yellow journalism, which won over readers with sensationalism, sex, crime and graphic horrors.

Why make bets as the house when you could just take a cut risk free?
> Ah the Disney approach. Bold strategy Cotton.

The Disney approach, if successful, would make you very rich. Their approach has made them one of the most powerful companies in the world.
Not really a joke, though? VOD has obvious methods to cheat a bit. Redundancy abounds and you can even network shape for costs. Could probably get even better compression for clear reasons.

Live, not so much. One source that you have to fanout from and absolutely no way to get cheap redundancy. Right?
Pepper spray might be more effective than a gun if you're not proficient.
Its a good thing he's rich and famous otherwise there might actually be consequences for him illegally broadcasting this.
noone cares
Anyone who makes a living off of sports betting is paying other people to put the bets down for them. Even the in person casinos will ban you if you win too much.
It was so bad. So so bad. Like don’t use your customers as guinea pigs for live streaming. So lame. They need a new head of content delivery. You can’t charge customers like that and market a massive event and your tech is worse than what we had from live broadcast tv.
Not quite like although they may share some same concepts while using. go-taskflow is more like a lib or an embedded framework to organize task dependency and execute tasks in parallel rather than a platform.
I ended up turning my TV off and watching from my phone because of the buffering/freezing. The audio would continue to play and the screen would be frozen with a loading percentage that never changed.

I have Spectrum (600 Mbps) for ISP and Verizon for mobile.
This was the first message sent back by the machines. Early versions considered propaganda before violence. But by 3460 our last hope was enough time loop bugs in their code that their processors were slow enough for us to get single suicide bombers into their cooling vents
I don't bet so I have no clue, but why is that? Are people able to place bets in the middle of the match or something? I would have assumed bets get locked in when the fight starts
Btw, is it very hard to read and make sense of these texts for native speakers too? Even in my first language these stories sound unlike just a foreign speech, as if not only languages diverged with time, but the whole concept of speech (writing at least) evolved and became more clear in our time, imo.

Interesting if that affected general development and progress and how will future languages look like, or it was the other way round. I guess it may e.g. become even more logical and circumstantial in structure and remove obvious uncertainties (like “do not X and Y” can mean “do” or “do not” to Y) in favor of cfg-ness.
This is also true for any other OCR system, we just never called these errors “hallucinations” in this context.
Can you use homelink? or have they removed this?

I inherited a garage door opener that does homelink/myq and the homelink is radio-based that your car can learn, while myq is wifi nonsense that I turned off.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but you typically use your A players for hiring/interviews.

It can be both true that Netflix has God tier talent and a bunch of idiots. In fact, that's probably true of most places. I guess the ratio matters more.
so how do you decide where the odds should start? I think they still need a bookmaker for this, I think. What happens when the first person bets? I have never read up on how poly market works but I believe they must act as an Automated Market Maker as they provide instant liquidity.
> If your "dumbest engineer" got a job and a hefty raise going to Netflix, it means he was very capable engineer who was playing the part of moron

It's also possible that there's very little correlation between capability, reputation and salary.

Don't we all know someone who is overpaid? There are more than a few well known cases of particular employers who select for overpaid employees...
The problem is... if you use these on rare occasions it gets frustrating, because you have to read the manual or google everything or ask the llm again and again.

Very interesting result! It does kind of baffle me, though, when people describe things as “uniquely human” when even a passing familiarity with basically any mammal (and often other ‘simpler’ creatures) reveals that they also do these things.
I guess it kinda depends on viewer counts?
Illegal options also have lot less resources (revenue, service providers who are willing host/facilitate illegal activities, and so on) so it’s a fair comparison in my opinion.
>> While several betting strategies have been proposed to beat bookmakers, from expert prediction models and arbitrage strategies to odds bias exploitation, their returns have been inconsistent and it remains to be shown that a betting strategy can outperform the online sports betting market.

This is the most academic sentence I’ve ever read. There’s always been an industry of professional gamblers with various successful strategies. Some have become billionaires.

You know it's a good remaster when no one complains about it overwriting the original. (yes it is called an update, but I think that proves my point)
what seemed good about it that makes different then any other hiring process that seems detached from the job?
I said this:

> There are also extremes on both sides that should be recognized and rejected as such.

"No right to continue existing" is obviously an extreme that doesn't need to be entertained. But the existence of that extreme is used to argue that anything short of full endorsement of everything labeled a right is that extreme of denial of the right to exist, which is patently false.

A less extreme formulation that regularly gets lumped in with "no right to continue to exist" is: Some people are born with various shades of physical differences that lead to different mental and emotional states. Those who are different from the majority deserve our love and support, but we should attempt to provide that support in a way that doesn't encourage people to self-diagnose with these very real diversities when they don't, in fact, have them. It's a tricky balance to maintain and one that we hope we can get right, but when it comes to sweeping cultural change it's better to move slowly and observe the outcomes carefully. In the meantime we should try as hard as possible to support those who we do identify as being truly divergent.

I'm willing to bet that a substantial number of people reading the position described above will be unable to distinguish it from "no right to continue to exist", and therein lies the problem.

3rd party libraries don't spring from nowhere. And no language starts having one in abundance. People have to be motivated enough to write all those libraries in the first place and a lot of them are written just to use python syntax over C Code.

I'm not saying it's the only reason to choose python now but it's definitely among the biggest reasons.

There was a guess somewhere in the video comments that I found convincing. (I watched the video a few days ago and can no longer find the comment).

It claimed some old chess engines used time limits on certain computations as a means of configuring difficulty. Given more time, the engine may be able to look further ahead.

If such limits were tuned for older hardware, then upgrading the computer could significantly increase the difficulty.
The bid ask spread is not even 10 basispoints for your regular stocks out there. In fact for NVDA right now it's less than 1 basispoint.
