Besides the github account with a legitimate name, but impostor ownership, I can imagine another case which is problematic. HR SaaS companies might be required by law to maintain the account for a period of time - let's say until the end of the next fiscal year. The account still existing is not a failure on either Google, the SaaS company or DankStartup. The problem, as other posters mentioned is the fact the new account has the same ID in OIDC as the previous one, which is what the author of TFA proposes.
I'm gonna experiment with adding hall effect sensors to a standard servo to make a cheap feedback mechanism since those are pretty cheap nowadays seems like. Steppers still have a place but for hobby stuff with basic "what pos is it" this could be something I use a lot.
> Here's just one lens [0] for home insurance going back to 2004 (~20 years). It appears that the combined ratios were under 100% for ~8 years.

For the other 12 years they were over. 60% of the years were losses.

The average is 101.535 for all years in your source. So over 20 years their costs were $101.53 for every $100 in premiums collected.

I didn't say that they ALWAYS post losses, I said that it is very common, and that insurance premiums are a net money loser for the industry.

This is just another source proving that out, unless I'm missing something?
> SpaceX proved it viable on a startup budget

This is like saying Einstein proved it viable to discover groundbreaking physics as a patent clerk.
Wi-Fi should just work like any other Linux distro, assuming you have a desktop environment like GNOME or Plasma installed.
I don't think it would be 100% on the failed startup considering most of, if not all, of the applications mentioned likely do not actually delete accounts even when you say to delete them. There probably could be some allowance made for the situation but also you're repurposing the domain of a failed startup.

I don't think the problem was necessarily with Google though as I believe they create a unique ID for the domain. The problem with be with the other services like ChatGPT, Slack, etc that associate with the domain and create accounts for each user in the domain.
Soap operas, reality TV and evangelists have existed forever in various guises. "Bread and circuses" is thousands of years old.

If you've hired an intern before, think of Cursor like that. When you come up with an intern project plan, you usually need to give a very clear specification of what you expect, and you usually need to have the project be pretty self-contained. A lot of real problems are really bad intern projects, and a lot of problems are a really bad fit for AI. You have to be strategic about it.
Off topic... Taiwan also machines and heat treats some of the best cutlery steels in the world. Taichung City is famous for this. This is not as delicate a process as producing CPU chips, but it is hard to get right consistently.

Most all major cutlery companies have product lines that are produced solely in Taiwan (Spyderco, Cold Steel, Demko, etc.)

It would be nice to see Taiwanese steel industy move some production to the US as well.
In my experience so far with AI, it's primarily good for creating boilerplate pages and APIs and for helping with auto-complete suggestions.

50k is just a step above McDonalds these days in a lot of areas. Sure minimum wage might be $15k, but realistically nobody pays that little except in very rural areas (if you need a small number of low skilled employees a small rural town is a perfect spot to build - but if you need more than a small number they can't provide more at any price - you will pay more in the city but there are a lot more people around if you need more)
To add to the not-so-great salaries, there are high taxes and social fees + VAT of round 20%…

OTOH, the typical/mean competence in SW seems relatively low if compared with high salaries countries.

For example, as I was hiring last year, it was just impossible to get a candidate that have even heard about functional programming, or anything outside Python and C.

A friend of mine was hiring EEs, and the best one he found (hold to your seat!) said an inductor is to resistors in series.

I will try to dig up some concrete numbers but for vast majority of people they make more money lifetime from working and saving some of that money and then investing that.

IMO the biggest issue is that instead of reviewing the code of your colleagues, you review some random generated stuff. You know what kind of code you can expect from your colleagues, not anymore. Also you expect that code reviews promote knowledge and consistency amongst the team and helps them to become better in programming. Not anymore either.
That's how I feel. $500 would already be steep for me. I suppose some people have more disposable income. I'm just concerned about sennheiser quality. I've read they've really gone downhill.

In Singapore it’s a lot higher than this. There are government mandates that roles must be advertised - so companies planning on hiring internally will advertise roles, interview candidates then justify why no candidates are good fit then hire the original internal candidate.

I saw that SmarterEveryDay video and it's a crazy thing to do but fun to watch.

Terminology: balance is from steering (not counter-steering aka push-steering) which is to get the bike (usually motorcycle) to lean faster which allows taking a corner sharper. To balance upright, one steers the bike in the same direction the bike would naturally steer (as it's falling to one side) by the way the forks are raked/offset.

Statistically speaking there will be a few percent of bad hires and people whose skills don't match the requirements. Arguably, they could detect that during probation period, possibly extending probation period needed. That's how it's done in more progressist european countries. It gets harder to fire people after that.

Note that they also routinely fire perfectly capable people, who exceeded expectations for many years in a row and just had one bad year (sometimes after a team change or a promotion).

The central thesis that demand creates supply is also just very obviously false, no one was searching for "100 identical twins fight for $250k" before Mr beast made that video. People watch Mr beast because they want 20 minutes of whimsical predictably mind numbing colorful emotional fast paced distraction and Mr beast fills that need perfectly with videos of all kinds. He transports viewers to a fantasy land far beyond their real world, where boredom doesn't exist and crazy things are possible. No one knew they wanted an iPod until Steve jobs showed it to them; they just wanted a better CD player. Same thing with YouTube; people just show up and click on something the algorithm puts in their way, there isn't a demand for anything really. No one knew they wanted a Mr beast. The consumer demand is some combination of distraction, entertainment, or education, it's not much deeper than that.

Do you support this line of thinking for other ethno-homogenous countries? Are China India and Japan not serving their constituents the best they could because their SCOTUS equivalent judges are not diverse?

The USA was 90+% white before 1965, so for the majority of its history it had White SCOTUS judges. Do you seriously think that because the SCOTUS was 100% instead of 90% white that a great disservice was done to our country.
Do any of your Dockerfiles make e.g. apt calls? If so, then they will get a different version of software installed when built on different days, because that will depend on the state of the package servers.

A more trivial example of non-deterministic would be that you can write a Dockerfile that uses curl to fetch data from random.org; the functions nix provides for fetching from URLs require you to specify the sha-sum of the data you fetch.

Nix flakes make it hard for you to inject anything into your dependencies that hasn't been hashed to confirm its identity. It in many cases still isn't 100% deterministic (consider e.g. a multithreaded build system where orderings can influence the output), but it's a big improvement.
I've thought about this and one thought is:

How does AI making breaking changes or not following established patterns differ from human developers (possibly novices) doing the same?

Let’s be clear, it’s still clinically insane, even if marginally rationalized.
I am very skeptic of the creator economy, but to play devils advocate:

Could it be that "craft" until now has been a high dimensional and abstract conceptual navigation exercise, for which some people had both (1) the compass of intuition and (2) the drive. Replacing craft with metrics means that people without the high dimensional intuition/compass (but with the drive) can still play a part in the game.

So maybe this is just another example of unbundling and specialisation process, that is democratising access to renown (or whatever the wealth of "renown" is, in the sense of network topology)

Of course, if the compass that is replaced with metrics is miscalibrated in the system, the end point can still be a very sick society (even if access to the renown in that sick society is more equitably distributed by some measures)

Ah, this looks to be my favorite "non-management" bullshit game: Put stickies of words like "People" "Process" "Love" "Care" "Profitability" "Quality" and so on, pick some of those words and build a stupid story around those words. The story is usually summarized as "we'll have the best of the best people, doing best of the quality, with best of the best profitability, spreading much love".

What about all the words that are not picked? That's for 2 years later, when they play the same game again.

Here's the last but least favorite part: beat employees into memorizing those words, have them graded against these words based on entirely subjective interpretations, and reward those who are good at playing this game.

Some people are just story tellers, not doers.

Then I look at the profile of the author of this blog. Yeah, makes sense.
More automation. Given the chemicals involved in fab work in general I expect this fab is very automated just for safety reasons and so very few employees are needed. Thus the cost of labor isn't a significant factor.
> Also We are talking about Biden who introduced Zelensky as __President Putin__ in an event organized for Zelensky.

That's also covered in the book. Again, if you’re interested in this topic, I’d really recommend giving it a read or borrowing it from the library. You might find some new perspectives on Biden’s presidency — just like I did for some aspects of Trump’s while reading War and his more recent books. Or maybe you'll come away from it totally vindicated in your views. Either way, it's an insightful read with enough nuance in there for both outcomes.

A found crypto wallet is really just a copy of credentials that provide access to things described in a ledger, and where that ledger is stored elsewhere. It's not very dissimilar to a found copy of a bank account's credentials.

The proposal here was for a business practice that would harvest and exploit these credentials. The main question was of the legality of this business practice.

There is no strawman here.

In addition to `position: fixed`, shouldn't it be top, left, height, width, instead of top, left, bottom, right? In the second case, it would follow the top and left instructions then take the necessary amount of space, ignoring right and bottom?

>Thus the cost of labor isn't a significant factor.

It is. Semi fabs aren't fire-and-forget. You need highly skilled people to constantly check and tweak all the operations in a feedback loop 24/7 and every hour of downtime due to any issue means millions lost. You hire the right people to minimize that downtime while also keeping the costs in check. It's a delicate balance.
Switzerland has high salaries because of the high cost of living. I would like to see aap adjusted by cost of living.

Interview process at Meta isn't that hard. Mostly medium leetcode questions (in front of single interviewer), not particularly tricky. With enough preparation, it's doable by any reasonably good undergrad. Google was slightly harder though. Similarly, system design can be prepared.

The hardest part is to get the interview in the first place. But if you do, it's just a matter of preparation. You want to be able to nail these questions.

Four thoughts:

1. I've developed a analog->digital path for my kids. Before they can get a music player, they get a CD player. Before they get video games, they get board games. And then, for video games, before they get Super Mario Odyssey they get the original Super Mario Bros. Each of these "first they get" is a long period. Years long. Give them something that has limitations so they can truly explore it. Find the nooks and crannies of something. Make up their own weird little things within that limitation. And then, back to music, I want my kids to know what a musical album is, know how to savor the highs and the lows, how sometimes certain tracks mean more to you based on your mood or life-stage, then just an endless playlist of newness.

2. The gorilla in the room is that most adults can barely handle online media.

3. The other gorilla in the room is porn. Again, see #2.

4. The classic philosophers placed Prudence as the queen of virtues. What is prudence? It is essentially the ability to grasp reality. Why did they say that was most important? Because you couldn't use any of the other virtues if your didn't have a good grasp of reality (e.g. fortitude would be foolhardiness if you ran into a ill-conceived death thinking you were being brave).

You need to make sure you and your kids are able to grasp reality, not just the appearance of it.
And there, after rent and utilities, I do not think is much difference.
You're not going to be able to stop your kids from doing anything unless you shackle them up nightly. However, you can stop them from doing it while under your roof and that significantly curtails their ability to take anything too far.
The weird part of the programming model is that threadblocks don't map 1:1 to warps or SMs. A single threadblock executes on a single SM, but each SM has multiple warps, and the threadblock could be the size of a single warp, or larger than the combined thread count of all warps in the SM.

So, how large do you make your threadblocks to get optimal SM/warp scheduling? Well it "depends" based on resource usage, divergence, etc. Basically run it, profile, switch the threadblock size, profile again, etc. Repeat on every GPU/platform (if you're programming for multiple GPU platforms and not just CUDA, like games do). It's a huge pain, and very sensitive to code changes.

People new to GPU programming ask me "how big do I make the threadblock size?" and I tell them go with 64 or 128 to start, and then profile and adjust as needed.

Small functions, small modules, small codebases. Keep state as contained as possible. Tightly control interfaces and interactions. Know your paradigms. Example: in Rust multi threading it loves putting things in an Arc. You have to tell it to use MPSC queues instead.
