So your mind is made up that someone fictional who is not described in a blog post does not contribute to an org you know nothing about? Is your point that all management is useless? Or something else? And why are you certain, what is your

You could look at WGU for online CS, they’re under $10k/year and they assume you’re working. There’s lots of online information so you can do some research about whether this is really an option that fits you well or not. With work exp

Do you have experience being a tech lead and/or a manager? Tech leads and people managers are two explicitly different roles in many organizations, for good reasons, including, but not limited to them being both full time jobs. It cert

Try talking yourself into it; the question sounds like you’re talking yourself out of it. You don’t need all the money at once, $80k degree is $20k/year - and only if you do it in 4 years. You are allowed to take longer (and spend less

Nothing wrong with someone sitting in a booth alone if there’s a seat. It’s up to the restaurant to worry about maximizing their space. And it’s the restaurant’s choice to serve the take-out market. Shaming customers isn’t going to fix or c

Interesting thoughts! First thing to mention is that if you look at the code, it uses SSIM, which is a perceptual image metric. Second is that it may be using sRGB, which isn’t a perceptually uniform color space, but is closer to one than l

What do you mean about prescribing and insisting? I’m not sure I understand your questions about family sharing and the mental model. I use family sharing with actual family for my Steam account and all video streaming services. Am I weird?

I didn’t downvote anyone, in fact I upvoted your comment. Why do you ask? I am getting downvoted here, but I don’t know why. Yes I have read D&K’s paper and studied the plots and methodology multiple times. I thought I was mostly agreei

Oh it’s much worse than that, and it wasn’t everybody in Cornell undergrad, it was a grand total of like 45 undergrads at Cornell who signed up for extra credit (which I imagine is a pretty big confounding factor - the A students don’t need

It has always been true throughout history in every country that political engagement skews heavily toward the old and the rich. I don’t know how to fix it, but thankfully Kurzweil is a hack and was wrong about most things and deserves no a

The WP link shows sourced data from the IMF and World Bank. Why did you respond to that with an unsourced claim this is CNN’s assertion? The GDP ranking involves all countries. So whose propaganda is it, and what’s the motivation? If it’s t

The sentence you quoted must be true because the input file and the output binary model both need to fit in memory at the same time.

I get what you mean, but it seems misleading to cite floating point issues with matrices and call quats lossless. Matrices are not inherently imprecise, they have floating point error when you use floating point numbers to represent them, a

This is a great point. Though what if the answer is that the company can hire that AI to solve a significant fraction of its actual problems? People who do the assessments and decide what features should look like are often called managers

This oft repeated talking point lacks perspective on what companies want and how interviews work. It also doesn’t address the AI problem. Interviews are screening for multiple things, not just the ability to do one specific technical job. M

The top comment did not use quotes around ethics. I used quotes merely to point out the exact word that was used, and I meant ethics, not something else. You’re absolutely right that not everything is a debate, but your very first sentence

You’re jumping to some pretty big and possibly unsupported conclusions about citation gaming, which is what that blog post is about. People gaming citations are likely trying to fly under the radar and don’t want to draw public attention. M

This discussion is sloppy and failing to define or be careful with ethics and how ethics is distinct from competition rules. Let’s drop the word norms since it’s ambiguous, and be clear about ethics. My point from the top and throughout is

The edit was a response to multiple people including me calling out the framing of game exploits as a reflection of ethics at all, and it was an explicit admission of having done that, and perhaps indicated a change of perspective. You are

I don’t see how you’ve arrived at marathons having any specific norms. No doping and no assault is pretty universal. Can you explain it better? The point was that speed runners are not operating with different ethics than any other competit

Frowned upon? Not obvious? What are you talking about? This is straw man. Doping is against marathon rules and assault is both against the rules and also straight up illegal. Maybe you should read some marathon rules https://www.
