Centralization and size comes with inefficiency and slow decision making. It also comes with economies of scale. For something like the Medicare, the economy of scale dominates and it makes much more sense to be federal. When it comes to running schools, there really isn't much economy of scale so it makes much more sense to run it locally.

Since you're not generating any revenue and are costing them bandwidth, the site likely prefers it that way...
I have written all kinds of compilers, interpreters and vms over the last 15 years. A couple of them for work. The rest for fun. Some vms used RC, others did mark-and-sweep GC. Some vms even did JIT. A lot of them were simple treewalk interpreters because the point was to play with the syntax of the language.

Based on that experience, I would say your definition is more academic than realworldly as javac (or any compiler targeting the JVM) is not a real compiler according to it.
hard to put a finger on it, but i do think you should give humanity a little credit... it's actually somewhat easy to spot the "AI" when it does appear in these situations? or maybe i'm just deluded.
I’m not sure what’s the most optimal for cost/performance, but a Pi 5 8G + Hailo 8 looks like it will be a good option.

Hinduism is similarly often described by practitioners as a "way of life" to avoid the religion label.
I don't think it matters whether it was created by an AI or an advertising agency or a dude in his basement. What matters is how powerful it is.

The powerful stuff will play your little mind like a piano. One glance and you're lost.
I know a guy who does similar. He gives the messed up parts that got damaged to his dog.
It feels like they really want to make use of those expensive bunkers.
With the caveat that the attack described in RoTT has a relatively straightforward mitigation, and this doesn't. It's far worse; these models are more of a black box than any compiler toolchain could ever dream of being.
Yep, it's the same talk, slightly updated.
Good thing there's no such rule.

Barrelfish! My dream project is developing a multikernel with seL4's focus on assurance. I want to go even further than seL4's minimalism, particularly with regards to the scheduler. I thiiiiink it doesn't have to be bad for performance. But I've not materialized anything and so I am just delusional. And yes, I am thinking of doing it in Rust. For all of Rust's shortcomings, especially for kernel development, I think it has a lot of promise. I also have the already-loves-Rust cognitive bias. Not trying to somehow achieve seL4's massive verification effort. (Will gasp AI faciliate it? Not likely.) I am sad that Barrelfish hasn't gotten more attention. We need more OS research.
What was their boom based on?
I remember in the mid/late 1980s, optical computing was going to take off. I was in a more conservative optics group performing conventional work, while this flash-bang optical computing group was sucking up all the project funding for optical technologies. But, the hype never lasted and eventually the whole department was disbanded. (I do acknowledge some work in fibre communications transport) In retrospect, conventional microprocessors would improve fast enough to challenge the material limitations, and complexity issues of the proposed optical technology. So, ten years ago, I had this same conversation with a co-worker where he thought quantum computing was around the corner, and I was still wanting to push the pause button for 20 or more years. I think today, I still think it is going to another ten or twenty years. I do hope to be proved wrong someday.
Fatbergs and brownouts point to underinvestment in utilities (budget problems / many historic, undemolishable buildings)

You need to keep less $ invested in infrastructure per person if everyone lives on top of one another in a condo.

If everyone lives in a white picket fence SFH then you have to build miles of extra roads, pipes, cables. Every trip for every bus, truck, and car is a bit further.

There's a lot to be said for both rural and city life but cities can be much cheaper if there's unrestrained development.
Are OTA channels subscription based where you are (where)? Or the "decoder card" is just some middleware crap you buy once? Our OTA TV has always been ad-supported, they just moved the same channels to digital though in larger markets there are now quite a few new low-overhead licensed syndicated content options, presumably due to the cheaper cost of air slots.
Not if you have a private eval you use for your own use cases.

You would be fine with some looking assuming you have common tech stack experience, also do you have a technical degree?

In either case the leet code nonsense is probably unavoidable so worth some time as well.

Have you tried who's hiring and who wants to be hired posts here?
Ah yes, overseas, as in partially across the Gulf of Mexico.
That’s not correct. There is not a general solution to tell what any arbitrary program can do, but most code is boring stuff that is easy to reason about.
Yes, fixes.
Do you remember the time you could buy on amazon.com with lynx? (or links2).

And all the other dominant online services which broke noscript/basic (x)html to the benefit of the absurdely and grotesquely massive and complex (including their compiler) whatng web engines? This did shut the door definitely in the face of all citizen/state sponsored/small commercial alternatives which [could] have been super stable in time (including their SDK).

This is not "evolution" or "innovation", this is a scam and planned obsolescence at accute levels.

You could perfectly stream a video with a dash/HLS URL transfered to a media player (ads can be text on the web page and they can include some directly into the video stream).

Manufacturing.

Mexico was the original "China". China began booming in the 2000s because Mexico became expensive so a lot of low margins manufacturing left Tijuana and Guadalajara for Tianjin and Guangzhou [0], the same way how you now see manufacturing leaving China for cost reasons having a similar economic impact/shock [1].

It's telling that China only caught up with Mexico's GDP per Capita and HDI around 2019-20, and economic issues similar to those in Mexico in the 2000s (excluding the drug war related ones) began manifesting in China as well.

For example, NPR [2], NYT [3][4], and BBC [5] reports from the early 2000s about Mexico are pretty similar to those you'd hear about China today.

History doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme.

UC guarantees admission to the top 9 percent of California high school students.

Your logic seems to suggest that, instead, they should automatically deny entry to the top 9%, because they 'will be just fine'.

When a college basketball coach is selecting players from among the undergraduate population, should he reject the best few players, on the basis they will be fine anyway? If not, what makes basketball and computer science different?
I think the point is that of intentional international languages (i.e., international in the sense of not being tied to any particular country), Esperanto is the most widely used one.

That still is going to be a quite small number against English, Spanish, French &c. in terms of being a lingua franca.
See the sentence immediately following the one you quoted. Interviewing is famously prone to subconscious bias, and having someone who is familiar with the process can give people a big leg up: they’re going into it confident that they belong there and familiar with the structure and general types of questions (this is the same reason why rich people pay for test prep classes for their kids even though those won’t fundamentally change their kid’s intelligence) and cultural literacy builds rapport with the interviewers - if they think of you as an in-group member, they’ll rate you more favorably and be more understanding about mistakes.

Again, absolutely none of that is cheating - humans are just prone to thinking we’re far more rational than we actually are and there’s something like half a century of psychology and neuroscience studies showing that it’s both significant and requires effort to correct for.
First of all, don't see yourself as a loser! Having worked in startups for so many years, the experience you've accumulated is a huge asset. The previous startup experiences might have affected your interviews because you didn't highlight the transferable skills you gained from those experiences, such as rapid learning, complex problem - solving, and adaptability. You might as well focus on these general skills in your resume and interviews and downplay the label of startup failure.
As for the job - hunting direction, apart from traditional tech companies, some emerging industries, such as green technology and medical technology, also have growing demand for people with technical and product experience, and the competition is relatively less intense. Have you considered them? Also, you mentioned the salary level of new graduates. In fact, with your experience, you can definitely strive for a higher salary. Have you studied how to highlight your experience advantages in job - hunting to match positions that meet your expected salary better?
Such as what oversight exactly?
IOS was built from the ground to handle cellular networking, and the whole stack is optimized for that, including sandboxing network connections and not allowing server type applications or anything that directly tries to mess with the networking layer in a way that is not explicitly authorized.

Coming from a mature OS built from a completely different paradigm is going to require a lot more effort. In particular macos has a whole legacy of programs doing almost whatever they want.

Apple _can_ just slap a cell networking subsystem in it and let it crash and burn whenever something unexpected happens or the user gets out of the defined boundaries of when it should work (like depleting system memory), but that doesn't sound like a great brand strategy to me and is not what people seem to be expecting. Microsoft will be on board with it, but I don't see Apple.
No, it sorts it.

And yet he is allowed to have TS by the idiots running the DoD.
I think most people intuitively group people that have worked their whole lives and living off of their retirement savings and pensions and those that have inherited vast amounts of wealth and haven't worked the differently. Another group would be people that became very wealthy during life due to business, and yet structure their wealth in a way that avoids taxes because the relatively little they need to life their luxuriously life isn't represented as income either.

We know these are different, it also seems quite unfair that their standard of living would be unaffected by higher taxes but poorer people are sometimes disastrously affected.
Fair enough XD

You never know if someone is serious in their replies on here sometimes.

I think the hardest part is function calls. Implementing the standard calling convention is really fiddly and annoying when you have to save and restore registers around function calls if you want to do it efficiently (keeping track of which registers are dirty, doing parallel loads of registers into the right argument registers, spilling when appropriate, etc. It is fiddly.

The alternative is going to an IR and doing full register allocation but then you need to implement Lengauer-Tarjan to get into SSA, all the same parallel load stuff for phi functions/block arguments, out-of-SSA, reconstruct in optimisation passes all the information you discard by going to a linear IR, etc.

Instead of light getting through bone you said

From your own link:

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3...

Now, the skin of the forehead overlying a portion of the frontal lobes is approximately 2 mm thick. It is possible that tiny amounts of infrared light from lower powered emitters could penetrate the forehead skin; however, only 9–11% of the light from a 10 W emitter penetrated that thickness of skin. Nevertheless, the remainder of the scalp, over which hoods, helmets, and posteriorly placed LED pads are emitting low-power light, is an average of 5.1–5.8 mm thick.

Simply put, it does not matter how long an LED is shone on a human head if the light energy from that LED cannot penetrate through human skin further than 3 mm. The energy of low-power devices simply will not penetrate the thickness of the scalp overlying much of the skull.

Some have suggested that NIR energy from low-power devices penetrates deeper if longer exposure times are used. This reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the roles that scatter, absorption, and refraction play in degrading NIR energy as it passes through tissue.

The energy delivered to the skin surface is different from the energy that penetrates to the depth of the target tissue – often several cm below the surface.

Longer exposure times will simply pump more energy into the epidermis and dermis of the skin/scalp.

Longer exposure times do not yield deeper penetration. These limitations on penetration only take into consideration the skin and scalp; however, the skull is a formidable barrier to light penetration, as well.

This is all moot however, as NIR is not light, because people can't see it (and possibly no animals can). If you drop the frequency enough something will get through (a tiny percent) and if you keep calling it light then you can make the false claim that light passes through bone, when we know that isn't true because we can see bones and they aren't transparent. We could say radio waves pass though people too and therefore light goes right though people.
Bob Matt Derrick once told me of a facility whose maintenance supervisor was named Stuart Pedaso and he nearly had an aneurism from laughter. Secretary there didn't get it.
I work at a company which has 11 engineers and competes with companies with 100s. The hiring process was a screening call with the CTO to not waste the prospective team's time, then a call with 2 of my prospective colleagues to gauge competence and cultural fit. Since then I have been involved in hiring most of the team I work with now. The CTO is one of the most competent engineers I have ever met and he designed this process. He also has very high EQ. One of the points I sell to prospective hires is him as a person to work with, as well as our team. He has also flatly denied people I suggested before and that's fine.

I have been here 5 years now and I'm working with the most competent team I have ever worked with. My take away from this is that hiring doesn't need to be commoditised and scale, it just needs to find good people and give them an opportunity to show you that you do or don't want to work with them.
If it was purely symbolic then it may be even worse because the Truth Social post he wrote to announce it ended with "LONG LIVE THE KING!"

> The creation of a model which is "co-state-of-the-art" (assuming it wasn't trained on the benchmarks directly) is not a win for scaling laws.

Just based on the comparisons linked in the article, it's not "co-state-of-the-art", it's the clear leader. You might argue those numbers are wrong or not representative, but you can't accept them then claim it's not outperforming existing models.
Charging people from outside the area so that they are less likely to come in a personal vehicle is one of the direct goals of congestion pricing. It isn't an environmental program, it's a traffic management program and isn't greenwashing anything.

Wow, this revelation is quite astonishing! However, putting aside the controversy over the source of the technology, isn't it worth delving into how Cisco managed to build such a huge business empire? For example, how exactly did they make their partner program so successful?
RF sensor has to be coupled with activity-specific ML models for detection. Google Scholar has hundreds of academic papers on wireless sensing with machine learning, targeting specific activities. Commercially, Google Nest Hub 2nd gen includes mmWave sensor for sleep tracking.
I think I already understood the quote at the time of writing the previous comment…

Hence why I quoted the exact words.

Do you understand it?
For most states, there's only two governments--the city and county governments of most states are organs of the state governments and only have such authority as the state unilaterally deigns to let them have.

As for the distinction between state and federal, that's essentially the exception that proves the rule. The reason you cannot have multiple governments is because you end up with a situation of contested authority, and a brief look at US history (and I suspect every other federal system in the world, though I don't have particular knowledge for others) shows a litany of debates over whether state or federal government has primacy in a given jurisdiction. It's only barely tolerable by the fact that, even if the grant of authority to the different governments is unclear, at least the authority to decide who has authority is unquestioned.
More feudalism less federalism.
Could you provide me some links or background on this? I did a couple of lazy searches and didn't find anything. I knew they tracked that you voted, but not who/what you voted for, if that's what you're saying, unless you mean party affiliation.
I started building a client too but the fact that one needs to handle a user’s creds directly just felt off to me. Don’t understand how this is an accepted practice.
Yeah, I have a CS degree from a well known (non ivy) four year university in Boston.

I've had mixed experience with HN who's hiring. Frankly I'd be uninterested in working for anything earlier than a series C startup. I'd frankly rather work for a company with steady and strong revenue and a culture that's sustainable.

Not looking forward to the leetcode nonsense, but it would probably take a few months to get up to speed where I could pass interviews.

Given my resume is sort of all over the place (many 1yr stints) curious of your thoughts on where I should look? I'm tempted to primarily aim for product roles since pure IC roles just make me dread working at this point.
Exactly. It's bizarre to me that there's this idea of "fairness" that we have to purposely degrade a great product just so others can create a bad (but now relatively less bad) product, to stick it to Alphabet. Wasn't anti-monopoly policy supposed to benefit the consumer and not the corporations that are just behind the #1 product?
Yes, I agreed. To be clear I’m not doing the silly thing of threatening to leave a site I’m not going to pay for. I’m describing the result that makes everybody happy.
Lmao, imagine having a project no one gaf about and the best idea you come up with is asking for ransom from the same people that dgaf about it.

I've always thought of how weird it is that YouTube even exists, as much as I love it. I have tried many times to figure out how it could exist independently of Google or some other tech giant, and watched many competitors try and fail.

I'm not sure YouTube can exist outside of being a monopoly. I'd actually argue YouTube is the strongest evidence in existence in favor of monopolies, far better than anything Thiel has suggested.

I want to be wrong about this but the evidence suggests it's so.
Yep, having a video explaining it in detail is great. It's absolutely interesting. (I mean, I would say that, wouldn't I ;)

My objection was to using it as an interview question. An broad open-ended question like that without any guidance what the interviewer cares about is a signal of either copy-pasted hiring practices, or a working culture that doesn't know what it wants. It's also a question with little signal in the noise if you don't give a bit more clarity.

I mean, fundamentally I'm happy if other companies use the question, more good hires for me, but in terms of "we should really raise the bar on this interviewing thing" I still object :)

Perhaps I misunderstanding, I thought the actual content of each tweet was being duplicated to every single timeline who followed the author, which sounded extremely wasteful, especially in the case of someone who has 200 million followers.
Mostly just not being able to land a job. The market is so competitive / flooded at this point that it seems like normalcy isn't an option.

Last time I lined up 5-6 interviews (after easily 4x applications) only two turned into interviews, one final round that ultimately became a rejection.

I couldn't tell if it wasn't a fit or if I just sucked.
Oh if you care about durability on Kafka vs Redpanda, see https://www.redpanda.com/blog/why-fsync-is-needed-for-data-s..., acks=all does not fsync (by default before acknowledging the write), so it's still not safe. We use raft for the data path, a proven replication protocol (not the custom ISR protocol) and fsync by default for safety (although if you're good with relaxed durability like in Kafka you can enable that too: https://www.redpanda.com/blog/write-caching-performance-benc...).

As for Redpanda vs Kafka in multi AZ setups and latency, the big win in Redpanda is tail latencies are kept low (we have a variety of techniques to do this). Here's some numbers here: https://www.redpanda.com/blog/kafka-kraft-vs-redpanda-perfor...

Multi AZ latency is mostly single digit millisecond (ref: https://www.bitsand.cloud/posts/cross-az-latencies/) and the JVM can easily take just as long during GC, which can drive up those tail latencies.
Regarding the business model, for the pricing of $25 per month to remove the branding, it depends on how much the target audience cares about the branding. Have you conducted any user research to understand their acceptance of brand display and how much they are willing to pay to remove the branding? If the target group is not very sensitive to the brand, this pricing strategy may need to be adjusted. As for whether to charge a one - time fee or a subscription fee, it mainly depends on the product update frequency and the user usage cycle. If the product is updated frequently, the subscription model may be more appropriate; if the functions are relatively stable, a one - time fee may be more attractive to users. Which situation do you think Forms.md belongs to?
