Don't you think that'd become the "B-team" pretty quickly, though? I think it might fall apart. What might also work is something more like the "pro bono" model of lawyers? Make it a marketing thing, maybe s

They kind of addressed this by saying that they try to keep management billing hours quite low. Perhaps this low percentage would have been "enough" had the size of the project been bigger? Although, I think it'd be fair to

You are right! I missed the switch from talking about the `python -m`-style invocation versus the `python <script>`-style invocation. (Should I double down and attribute it to difficulties with how significant whitespace indentation

The second thing. Python includes the current working directory first in the module search path. It leads to the above issue and occasionally some a tricky debugging problem.

All good considerations, but note that these four points only define failure conditions and there are no success conditions. I've worked with groups that set up these hurdles, watch you clear them, and then just say "ehhh, no&quot

A non-embodied AGI could know and reason about physical stuff. Non-physical intelligence abounds, no? This conversation we're having here is not in the physical world. You're right that babies aren't up to what my standard

Sure, if you define AGI as needing to be able to perform all physical tasks that a physically median-or-better adult human could perform, maybe it needs to be embodied essentially by definition. I don't think the physical aspect is imp

Looks like it's centered with respect to the home row. My Dell work laptop actually has that same layout, I've never noticed that.

I'm guessing that Mozilla takes browser compatibility even more seriously. And here's an addon to change the user-agent string for Google search so you get the same experience as a Chrome user: https://addons.mozilla.o

I guess you're saying that putting the 150k number in the candidates head is going to make the eventual 100k offer sound worse than it otherwise would have? Can't you have a conversation with the applicant, walk through your reas

They could just take that $400 mil/year and dump it entirely into the browser for as long as the money lasts. Ideally spending some money refactoring their codebase such that it could be more likely for the code to survive on after a

They're clearly taking a reinforcement learning approach. Just a few thousand more returns and you'll be good to go!

What kind of things do you make, how well do you know the technology/domain, what are the customers/users like, and how long out are the deadlines set? Why do you think you're so successful when so many other people have pro

Well, let's ask. "Hey Google, is what is AI used in?". My Google Home responded that AI is used in virtual assistants and autonomous flying among other things. She sent me a link with more info on my phone. So it sounds l

That's the new, terrible interface. Replace the "www" with "old" in the URL, like "old.reddit.com". If you create an account, you can configure "old reddit" to be your default. There are also br

Governments do penalize non-IT security events-- first thing that comes to mind are laws that impose penalties for improper storage of a firearm. It probably depends on jurisdiction but in my Google search, "proper storage" can r

Governments fine companies for environmental, ADA, etc. incidents/violations, why not for IT-related security incidents/violations? Governments also give money away to for-profits and nonprofits all the time via grants.

Anecdotally, I tend to drop my phones from chair-level monthly, with no case, without issue. I dropped my Pixel 2 two stories onto concrete and only damaged the back glass cosmetically and the phone microphone slightly. Used it for another

I'd do it for median company salary (edit:cost-of-living adjusted) on a platform of making the best browser experience possible for as long as possible. I wouldn't change much initially, hopefully growing into the job, and hopeful

Yes, of course. I rely on compilers, linters, and editor syntax highlighting when writing code, so it'd be pretty hypocritical for me to penalize people who can't access those things. People can sketch out a pretty messy pseudo-

The point of a whiteboard interview for me isn't about accuracy and efficiency. It's about seeing whether the person can code and can talk to me about coding.

Oh, sorry, this is all on the respective Android apps. On the NYT app, there were ads inserted between some paragraphs of the articles.

They were not interested in providing an ad-free option as of ~1 year ago, I asked.

I canceled my subscription due to their insistence on ads at any level of support (I asked their customer service about it). Stuck with the Washington Post which seems to be okay with charging more and displaying zero ads.
