As I mentioned in my comment, a leak means that no other company (your competition) can use it, and you get to integrate all the improvements made by other people on it back into your closed source product.

The kernel yes, the distros and userspace, not so much. Linux is my go to for hosting, but macOS and Windows are designed to prioritize for the desktop user experience.

That's a good point. They knew they couldn't compete with ChatGPT (even if performance was comparable, GPT has a massive edge in marketing) so they did the next best thing. This gives Meta a massive boost both to visibility and to

Basically, if the knowledge exists online in a way that can be pieced together in a straight forward manner, GPT will figure it out, but for information that requires experimentation and creating new information to derive results, it won&#x

It replaces googling. All the hard work of finding relevant info and piecing it together is done for you. For programmers it's just a faster stackoverflow.

The irony is that once this becomes common-place, it no longer becomes effective. The only reliable way to make money on the stock market is to bet that the whole stock market will go up over a long enough time.

For example, you create a 100MB file. You tell the operating system to map that file to memory, and it gives you a pointer to 100MB of memory. Whatever you read from that 100MB of memory is what is actually in the file. You can also write t

Isn't this what insurance is for?

Businesses are able to buy insurance on top of what FDIC provides. It's only too low if you're foolish enough not to buy additional insurance if needed.

Ubiquiti does that. I have motion detection alerts disabled but human motion detection enabled depending on the camera. You can also set regions in the view that it ignores for motion detection.

I have a backlog of tickets and limited time for my family and personal life and interests. This isn't happening unless my manager is willing to lower my other workload.

I'm talking specifically about the requirements for your average software developer, not a developer trying to specifically study cryptography.

I did the basic coding assessment as a Senior Dev and got around 12 interview requests at around $200k salary average. I'm willing to bet most employers filter for this, since most employers already get a ton of applicants either way.

Might as well take an Introduction to Semiconductor Devices engineering course while you're at it. Just as relevant when it comes to software development.

That's ignoring that Xi ended presidential term limits and stacked the PSC with loyalists. The last Chinese leader with this much concentrated political power was Mao Zedong.

by Salgat 4y ago
China is falling into the Dictator's Trap with Xi. I'm not saying the Communist Party was ideal, but having a system where the entire party kept itself in check worked surprisingly well, and each generation knew the next generatio

You're asking them to explain a technology they use while expecting them to tiptoe around what they're actually allowed to say about how they applied the technology. And you say this replaced your system design interviews. It soun

Being able to use something you've intimately worked on as part of your job is a huge advantage since you're so familiar with it.

I wonder what would happen if you could somehow decouple businesses running critical infrastructure from the stock market. For example, make it so shares must be held for at least 3 years before they are sold if you don't want to pay a

I'm not a fan of how they park the slower CCD, since it means that the scheduler will try to force all processes onto the same CCD (regardless of whether it's for the game), instead of offloading the non-game workloads onto the ot

Reread the original conversation. It was about how North Korea was able to achieve some rather impressive technical achievements. It wasn't until the conversation was derailed by a "well akshually NK is not that bad" that w

by Salgat 4y ago
And I acknowledged that. We all know NK has a small social elite that does these things, no one has said otherwise. It's not an excuse to shut down their criticisms as a backwards country.

Once I learned how to use vs code productively it really changed my mind. The other day I needed to do a quick base64 encode and vs code had that. Same goes for formatting some json or doing a diff. It's all available in a single tool

by Salgat 4y ago
You're not making any point, you're just trying to shut down any criticisms of North Korea as not being "nuanced enough". It's a backwards country with a few niches which yes includes international theft of billions

by Salgat 4y ago
No, and if anything South Korea is proof of their potential. What's evil is the dictatorship holding back North Koreans.

I'm sorry, but any society that has 60% living below the poverty line, and is ran by a totalitarian regime with minimal respect for basic human rights is absolutely backwards. South Korea, one of the most advanced societies in the worl

It's not really surprising. NK is able to outsource their education to Chinese universities, and with a division that can yield $1.7B in revenue, it's not surprising they invest in this skillset, even if the country at large is de

What makes you think they'd behave any differently?

To add to this, there's a massive difference between discussing the possibility due to other tech layoffs that occurred last year and actually planning a layoff.

The net force is 0 in the same way that if two people are pushing you from opposite sides, their net force on you is also zero. You're still being crushed from both sides.
