Thats much easier - finding countries with lower taxation, citizenship via residency and stable economies. Your initial ask was way more complicated.

Look for countries where you just have to prove stable income, or do some type of investment in the country and then depending on the country it takes between 3-8 years to qualify for citizenship after you become a legal resident
Is the idea of roots swapping places related to Riemann surfaces? A bit like the sqrt function being defined on two copies of the complex plane glued together.
Other things using the 2.4GHz spectrum might have malfunctioned because of that and the users would have had no recourse. Even if you can, you should not do this unless there are no neighbors within range and you can ensure that you will never put anything else on 2.4GHz near it.

Also, I do not believe iOS ever added support for 40MHz channels on 2.4GHz. That feature never should have been added to WiFi. It causes headaches practically everywhere it is used.
It wouldn't be the first bubble. That doesn't make the above point about questioning it incorrect.

While it would be nice to have some open source and research oriented players, it could also be a massively sponsored Chinese government effort to get people both domestic and foreign to spill their secrets to an entity from the PRC.

Keeping the model open has led to large number of Chinese companies to adopt it, which further increases the value as a spying tool.

Most people’s “dreams” have nothing to do with working. Their dream is to have a combination of shit ton of money appear in their bank accounts every pay period and stock to appear in their brokerage account every vesting period.

True there are some who want to win the lottery and accept less than their market rate in exchange for “equity” in a non public company that will statistically be worthless.

Coding interviews are definitely is still the part of the process you have to pass unless you are a very well known big deal in the industry.

Feels definitely true. I wish ICs had much more agency. Wish there was something actionable even as a small step (which I don't think is there on the article).

Having been laid off due to unclear reasons, can't help but think the same could happen in my next prospective job (if I get one in this market that is) and there's nothing I could do about it.
Very good game, it makes me excited. Although some of the history generated by the AI is confusing, I think the generated video effect is good.
> Getting ruled against happens. That's how you know you're wrong.

Polite correction: that's how you know your position has been decided against. Judges (including appellate judges) fail/refuse to apply their own rules in order to reach the result they want all the time, and they often get decisions wrong unintentionally too.

I theorized about this vulnerability a while back when I noticed new commits didn't disable automerging. This is an insane default from GH.

EDIT: seems GitHub has finally noticed (or started to care); just went to test this and auto merge has been seemingly disabled sitewide. Even though the setting is enabled, no option to automerge PRs shows up.

Seems I was right to worry!

EDIT2: We just tested this on GitLab's CI since they also have an auto-merge function and it appears they've done things correctly. Auto-merge enablement is only valid for the commit for which it was enabled; new pushes disable auto-merge. Much more sensible and secure.
Maybe. There are certainly companies doing this, such as SUN Mobility and BYD. But I think battery swapping will remain fairly niche, unless and until a few standardized battery shapes, sizes, and connectors emerge. Fixed route buses might be able to rely on custom solutions but that will of course increase the price and make it less tenable for the long-term.
We've become so accustomed to the rip-roaring growth that came from widespread Internet adoption and now that it has piped down, we're desperate to find the next big boom. VR, crypto, blockchain, generative AI. And each time, like degenerate gamblers, we're feeling it, this must be it, the next Big 'Un, the bet that redeems all the bets that went wrong, bigger, riskier, bigger, riskier.

But it just won't be, nothing in our lifetime will ever come close to what the Internet boom was. The window for becoming a Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg as easily as they did is closed now, and you just need to live with it. The title of this chapter till the end of our days will remain "After the Internet Boom" and it will chronicle this pathetic desperation.

It’s commendable what DeepSeek is doing by open sourcing and showing the chain of thought.

This title is misleading though - where it tries to state that DeepSeek only focuses on research and not revenue.

1. DeepSeek is reported to be profitable. It earns revenue from its API.

2. DeepSeek was founded by Liang Wenfeng who cofounded the quantitative hedge fund High-Flyer in 2015. The AI work is used at the hedge fund to trade and earn revenue. Liang Wenfeng is transparent about this in interviews.

3. DeepSeek has strong backing from the government now that they have made a break through. DeepSeek has received support from Beijing[1].

Personally I dont see this as a bad thing. Its completely logical and smart for a government to support break through innovation. We should do the same in the US.
> This already feels like a reddit discussion. You made points all outlined in the article I linked.

You seemed to say (implicitly) that this isn't too dire because the judiciary stopped it. They in response made the point that even if this isn't effective now, the rapid escalation of the use executive power is a big deal that points to further escalation that might not be stopped.

Yes, they mentioned facts that appear in the article to support the point but nowhere this point is made, or furthermore, it doesn't even matter if it was. Expressing a similar opinion like one in an article quote makes his reply superfluous?

Saying "reddit" and "nobody is qualified to speak hypotheticals" seems more like you don't wish to engage with his point. The act that's been used to put innocent people in to concentration camps was invoked, more discussion should exist beyond dryly mentioning the mechanisms for ousting the US president.

I'm not assuming your opinions on the matter, the refusal to approach the question just seemed weird to me, so I wanted to note it.

The way I see HFT, is that previously this money was going to brokers and banks.

Now, most of this money is going to HFT shops, but you could also make an argument that some of it stays with the investors, since spreads are much smaller now.

As for moving society forward, I don't know. If not in finance, most of these guys would work for big tech companies trying to actively make kids and adults addicted to screens.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Back in 2016 I was still doing a lot of custom sites for small/mid businesses, and realized that almost all of this could be done with WP or something except (1) WP styling is really annoying and I don't want to maintain that, (2) I didn't want to rely on plugin functionality and upgrading WP, and (3) I wanted people with different levels of access to be able to edit different parts of the same page, which is basically impossible in most CMSs. So I basically wrote a CMS from scratch that relied on nothing but contenteditable and TinyMCE, and handed those tags to the appropriate portions (with back-end checks on what people could or could not edit before it was committed, obviously). But the point is, once a client (or their employees) are logged in, they get the right to edit the portions of their own pages that they have credentials for. The CMS puts a nice little dashed border around the parts they can edit, and all of their fonts and colors are saved in TinyMCE preferences so they don't need to hunt around or muck with any HTML (although they can, if they want to).

This ends up feeling rather magical to the clients, because they don't need to go to an editing page to make changes before seeing what it will look like. They just literally edit the content in place on the page, and hit save to deploy it live.

Most of these sites are still in operation after 5-10 years and require almost zero maintenance on my end.
Indeed, that one would be more descriptive. At first I thought that the project is a joke about pretend-discovering that you can create a web page without tools other than a text editor, and without embedding external resources, similar to vanilla-js.com. I wonder whether "note" is readily understood as "a document edited in a WYSIWYG editor" by some, possibly because it is called that way in some software.
I've used WebUSB to flash an Android device before. Yes, it's useful and easy, but it's also ripe for vulnerabilities. Web bloat needs to stop growing. The browser should not be a kitchen sink for anything anybody in tech wants. Installing a native application is not that hard.

This is one thing I'd like western governments to implement as well. When such a potentially world changing technology comes up, fund its research and socialize its benefits. Instead, all we take from China is more surveillance, censorship, and anti-encryption laws (UK)
> Look at movies set during various decades;

In the 90s a lot of movies had accompanying songs that would go into the charts. I remember Titanic, Bond movies, Godzilla, gangsters paradise, some Bryan Adam’s and Aerosmith songs.

I don’t know if that is still the case today as I listen mostly listen my own Spotify playlists or ”classic” radio stations (meaning 90s/00s music nowadays).

I can imagine it was an effect of the commercial music industry at the time and these songs were heavily subsidized by the movie’s marketing budget to get into the charts.
It seems like you're really focused on the interview process for a small number of very large tech companies. My experience doesn't match yours - I have been recruited to a specific BigTech team based on my background, and the interviews were more focused on specific skills than leetcode. But it seems like most BigTech interviews probably are coding/system design.

With that said, I have tended to interview more at scaleups/late-stage startups in recent years, and it's been very rare to see a truly leetcode-heavy interview process. These are positions that pay comparably to big tech, although the equity is generally more risky. But I've also been able to cash out some startup equity, so maybe my experience is not representative again...

> Most people’s “dreams” have nothing to do with working

This line always seems like a cop-out to me. Almost all of us have to work, and it takes a huge amount of our time. And for many of us in the tech industry, we have been intrinsically interested in this tech since we were kids, and have specific stuff we'd prefer to work on. Can we just accept that certain work is going to be more interesting for certain people, and that they might want to steer their careers in that direction, especially if it pays better?
It's entirely possible that they were more intelligent in some ways than contemporary Homo Sapiens. How they were overwhelmed is open to question. Perhaps just numerically - they were adapted for cold environments and may have been less fecund.

Less data to train on? Github et all are awash in front end code but the stuff most enterprises run on is locked away and not accessible to the AI companies.

I think something underrated but cool about this is that it's kind of like a virus. It saves its own JS source code in every file it saves, so that file can go on to make other files. Or maybe that's not cool?

i don't know, you tell me. And billions are in poverty now so i'm not sure this is a productive conversation. 44.9% of the global population is under $6.85 per day. 740mm try to survive on less than $2.15 a day.

45% of the earth's population is 3,700,000,000 or so, which, if my counting of commas is correct, is "literally billions of people"

Amount of quality fronted code in public repositories, blogs etc. is much higher. Then even if it is not in the repo it is available via browser.

> Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone.

I know, and it's nothing that needs an apology from you. Sometimes people (like me) feel offended over nothing, and it's more interesting for them to question why that is, instead of blamig the other party. That's not to say the reverse can't be true, just that it's tempting and too easy to project one's own offendedness if one isn't careful.

But back to the interesting question of what's up with vscode.

It's a very subjective thing for me, which probably explains the emotional reaction. I'm aware that vscode must be a very solid and practical tool for so many people to use it. But it gives me a negative gut feeling, mostly for the following reasons:

Using what is essentially a browser to edit text feels wrong and bloaty, not unlike going on a cruise ship just so you can eat at a restaurant.

It's made by Microsoft. I'm old enough to remember when they were not ashamed of being openly nasty, how they tried to lock us all into their own walled garden, and the glimpse Internet Explorer gave us into what that would look like. It's hard to trust this company, even if they have taken on a more benign appearance.

So, it just feels very wrong to use a weirdly bloaty browser-editor that a company with a track record of being a Big Bad Influence gives away for free. (I have similar misgivings about Chrome, which does not help vscode.)

Therefore, I prefer dedicated editors and IDEs made by people whose main goal is to make just such tools, and who I can pay for (as a purchase or donation). In summary: vscode works well, but using it makes me feel icky, and there are similar or better alternatives available to me that don't give me such a feeling.

So if there is a public statement that can be read to imply that I'm somehow happily using vscode feels a little like getting mud thrown at me, if that makes any sense, and there's a strong urge to clean up the record and, by extension, myself.

Yeah, I also think it's weird how that works. It's things like this that make me understand better the secret inner workings of people interacting with other people. :)
It's me who hadn't read all of the materials. But infact I think we both agree about what the tool does, which is scheduling an instruction stream ahead of time.

I'm confused because that approach seems identical to all mainstream compilers I know of. GCC/Clang also schedule instructions statically and the right schedule will improve performance. Why won't it work here? What kind of dynamic scheduling do you think it needs in order to be useful? Like a tracing JIT? Or they need to implement the reordering in hardware and reschedule as instructions execute?
Not necessarily a thing you should do if you want any kind of separability or version control. But definitely a thing you can do.

What blows my mind is that people use frameworks where they include stuff that's not even JS in their HTML, stuff that needs external JS to attach to it or hydrate it. That feels like the worst of both worlds.

I definitely come from an opposite place where JS is king and I don't have any files with an ".html" extension exept for "index.html". And I don't have any HTML in my JS, either. Anything that's a partial template is ".htm" and gets hydrated before it gets added to the DOM.
I am not. My point was: why do you think these two things are any different?
Truly excellent discourse. Thanks for such an enlightening contribution.
Well, the point where continuing to incur obligations with no chance of ever repaying them (resulting in escalating interest rates as investors price it in more and more), will become untenable, may arrive. What if debt reaches 200% of GDP? 500%? What kind of interest rate may be required to issue more of it - and issuing more of it is necessary to repay old ones? It may keep debt escalating at a rate that might seem silly and cause an avalanche effect whereas issuing more debt requires paying a higher and higher interest rate - and that interest will cause the debt to self-escalate - in a runaway cycle where process has to end in a year or two with inevitable default.

Only good thing about it is that many other countries will arrive to that point sooner thus keeping U.S. in advantageous position still.

Then we're broadly in agreement. Some of the settler behaviour is atrocious and enabled by segments of the military.

Did you know, however, that the word "settler" applies to any Jew living beyond the Green Line, generally in places that Jews have lived for millennia before being expelled by Jordan in 1947 (the lucky ones who were not killed where they stood)? Mostly so-called "settlers" just some Jews living in some neighbourhoods, often suburbs of Jerusalem. Mostly.
