Like what? I'm seeing that the Union is by-type and not by-name (such as C vs Rust enums). I didn't see good support for preventing null pointers, but maybe I missed that. And it wasn't clear if RAII works.

The food is not only bought with money, but also subsidized. With tax dollars from cities.

The Supreme Court reinvented the FAA under Roberts, giving it more power than was ever intended. True that Congress could override their interpretation, but people blame the Supreme Court because they created the mess in the first place.

I've been through this, and am nearly back to normal. Roughly in order of importance: Fix your work ergonomics, lifting & massage, and reduce stress. The neck and joint pain stuff sounds a lot like ergonomics issues. Until it stops

There have been a few cases where someone looked out, the fighter stopped throwing punches, and got knocked out themselves. That's why it's common to keep going until the ref stops the fight.

> I highly doubt anyone would hire an 18y/o over an MBA into a role like that, even if the 18y/o is much more experienced. You should not dismiss yourself in advance. Have you tried applying to the roles you are interested in?

Many many startups are working on this. Some have interesting prototypes, but none have succeeded yet.

Most people become closer to the average of their colleagues. Very very few people are so strong by themselves that they can raise the level of a place just by being there individually.

The author does have a good point about the readability of code snippets, but the right approach is to render code with type annotations when outputting these formats, similar to syntax highlighting. I do not miss having to change in32_t to

Practice for 4 weeks, then go interview. It's useful to practice a bit, but it's more important to just go do the interviews soon. Pick whatever practice makes the most sense, but don't worry too much about getting the exactl

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon, gen 10, and it's pretty terrible. It's my fourth X1, and they somehow get worse every generation (and it will be my last). Here's just some of the problems I've had: - The cooling setup is poor

I'm referring to the Isaac simulator. Here's an example of using parallel training to learn walking policies very quickly: https://syncedreview.com/2021/10/01/deepmind-podracer-tpu-ba...

NVidia has a physics engine that runs on the GPU. It is really useful if you're training neural nets, which also run in parallel on the GPU. That's probably what the other poster was thinking about when they asked.

Yes, do put an "appointment" on your calendar. Apologize for not being able to make the standup, and then each week give a complete update in an email or slack message. In my experience, many people who are happily awake at 8:30am

The parent system will accept pretty much anything if your lawyers ask them enough times. I've seen algorithms from the 80s patented today, with no real changes. The patent examiners have no idea what's novel or common sense, and

It feels like "Make the AI software work on our GPUs," is on some VP's OKRs, but isn't really being checked on for progress or quality.

Here's my guesses as to what's going on: 1. The recruiter got fired between reaching out and the call. 2. The recruiter discussed you with a hiring manager, and it turns out the hiring manager didn't think you were a good fit

The problem is that even a specialist vacuuming robot needs to be more of a generalist than you realize. For example, take the "nothing was allowed to be on the floor" restriction. To relax this restriction, the robot needs to kno

With respect, Al Jazeera is one of the most biased sources covering the conflict. They are still lying about the rocket explosion at the hospital for example.

Considering how poorly the prescribed medication works, maybe it's just not that big of a difference.

NeRFs were cool, but it turns out you get just-as-good results by fitting these Gaussian blobs. Plus it's faster. Plus the representation of gaussians is much easier to edit than the opaque neural representation. It's better than

You are completely wrong. The courts encourage this. Specifically, Republican appointees to the supreme court favor arbitration, because it is better for corporations.

If the series B valuation is higher, then AMT will apply on the increase, which can make your tax bill very high (higher than the amount of cash you have in some situations). So waiting doesn't work very well either. In my opinion, joi

Is there a decent explanation of what the conflict is about, that is understandable with a non-physics-major college level maths background?

Yup. You're trying to debug something, and you're deep in ParentClass.some_method. some_method is pretty complex, so it's tough going, but each time it calls self.other_method() or self.yet_another_method(), is that call goin

I suspect the juniors are taking the meetings too seriously, and getting stressed during the meeting to the point that it's difficult to transition away after. I've had this problem too. But now that I have more meetings, it'
