This bit jumped out at me (about hiring): > The problem and negative impact lies in the manager ranks and intensifies at the director level and higher. Hiring interviews at this level are entirely subjective and the quality of the interv

The paper about PaLM mentioned that they used 6144 TPU chips to train it over several weeks. That's a metric shit ton of processing power (pardon my language). If Google could dedicate 2 racks of TPUs to just continuously training PaL

A buddy of mine went to Yale in the late 80s, and used to tell some tall tales about (grad student) parties in Schank's basement, with free flowing booze and weed. Sounded like a guy who worked hard and partied hard.

Rick Reed was a rock star engineer at Yahoo. Jan Koum was more concerned about getting his shiny BMW dinged and more famous for badly parking the said BMW. (just kidding, Jan, please don't bash my Prius!) Both were very good engineers

Way to dodge the question. Sure, it wasn't the purpose, but it was the same situation! If you're going to tell me that providing housing alone is enough for these people, then this is exactly that situation: they were provided fre

I started watching this a few days ago, and right in the beginning, you see cigarette butts in the ashtray. If he's living "alone", where the heck is he getting his filter cigarettes from? Plus, most of his day is spent takin

The problem is: the "science" is used only as a tool to buttress one's pre-defined notions. Here in San Francisco, near the beginning of COVID, we put our homeless in hotel rooms. One resident per room, no shared bathrooms, e

These knee-jerk defenders seem to forget that the West bans entire channels like RT and Al Jazeera. I remember when the Second Gulf War started in 2003, Al Jazeera was removed from cable channels. They were forced to start a completely new

You keep using that word, "whataboutism". It doesn't mean what you think it means. Pointing out BBC's racist bias is not "whataboutism". Western countries have no problems with banning entire channels like RT a

I'll ask the same question as asked by @js2 below: Once the new server was up, did any signs from the field connect to it? Do you know how many signs are out there actively looking for the mothership?
