Am I missing something or is this Day 1 of a programming course in C?

That login stuff sounds… painful. So you’re saying as UserA if I try to login as UserB, UserBs login is corrupted and they have to relogin?

Thanks Twic!

Interesting! I’ve worked on the other side - blockchains themselves - and only recently started working for a DEX. Lots to learn!

Looks good! Their examples of using goto in automata (chapter 10) is the first time I've seen it that makes sense to me.

Thanks! I saw they have a working group on crypto so applied to join that, keen to see what they're up to. Standardizing data structures across chains makes a lot of sense but sadly there's a lot of competition rather than collabo

Where can I read more about those formats? I work in crypto, same as cantor trading that posted this, and always keen on re-using solved problems if they work :)

Lots of scammy-looking FANG Algo/Career sites sell subscriptions and seem fairly lucrative, and then you have Udacity/Coursera/Edx that sell you a certificate if you want one. Personally I quite like Udemy because they’re che

Can’t be too specific because of Chatham house rules but I heard from three different high ranking US military guys at three different events that there was a non-trivial drive due to Saddam’s failed assassination attempt on Bush Sr in Kuwa

Detach! Do things you enjoy for a while - I find it helps to make sure academia/career/whatever isn't my entire personality (which I fall into quite often) and tend to come back to whatever I left with enthusiasm after a coup

Yep! My wife is a postdoc at Stanford and has become completely disillusioned by the whole thing, pretty sad to see after so many years of loving it!

They can publish in other journals but at the expense of their career. Many publications at leading journals is your only real chance of making a career in academia - it matters more than actual impact because they're much easily measu

Just a note that TypeScripts type checking & compilation are two separate systems. It's never a compilation error because it always compiles.

I like the NHS but it is a massive cash hole. I don't believe it could ever be fixed with more money - it's already the seventh largest employer in the world in a fairly small country. The issue is in its red-tape, middle-manageme

> I think that might be overstated. You think correctly, this is sensationalist nonsense. Maybe a group of 0.05% of the population are in a bubble thinking their riots about stuff will constitute a civil war but by no means is there any

Private health insurance is a bit of a scam for anything serious in the UK though - they don't have the ability to do anything out of the ordinary or complex and send you to the NHS hospitals when they are out of their depth.

Facebook has been hiring FPGA engineers with ML experience since 2018 so I don't think this would be out of the question! But even so, Nvidia sell custom GPUs that aren't the same ones for gaming.

I think these sorts of computers use special GPUs that are industrial and used specifically for AI/ML work. I don't believe they've powered the super computer with 3080s and I also don't think they use the same underlyin

How far can we actually take current machine learning technologies by scaling the underlying hardware? Are we going to see some AI algorithms that are 20% better or an order of magnitude better? And what will that realistically look like to

I use Wise but it’s still two days. If it’s a startup that’s technical in nature they’ve all been happy with crypto!

I get paid across various countries (UK, EU, US) and it's sure easier to get paid with a stable coin than fiat. Ever dealt with a US business when you only have a UK account and they're asking for your routing number? Had a one-da

Yeah 100% this. I've worked on various blockchain projects since 2018 and have never written nor seen it written in any internal slack/discord.

A really nice thing in Haskell beyond dependent types is refinement types. Not sure if they exist in Scala - I'm sure someone has hacked something together somewhere. https://ucsd-progsys.github.io/liquidhaskell-blog&#x

Investment banking is seen as a more prestigious job in some circles which can be more important than the money. Tech is still seen as a trade job to those same people. So even if you can make more money doing SWE those people would rather
