Yes/No. It's probably the worst it's been in a decade, but it's my understanding it's nothing even resembling the 2008 crash or the dotcom bubble (I wasn't working during those times). With that said, it feels

This. I like my apple watch for doing mainly two things; tracking workouts and being a silent alarm clock that lives on my wrist. The <2 day battery life is really becoming annoying, as I have to remember to put it on the charger for at

I agree with your general idea here but could it not be argued that pensions are just an abstraction on top of 401ks in the sense that if the demographics are shifting such that non-producers outweigh producers then you would expect the eco

You already have everything you need to do this with just git. Just make a repo (might need to be a bare repo) on whatever machine you want to make the remote and then clone from it using ssh on the other machines. Then you can push and pul

Satellites in general. Once you've built out a ground infrastructure for a spacecraft, it makes zero sense to ever make dramatic changes to it. The risk is too high. In 2015 I worked on a piece of software that was related to command a

That wouldn't have mattered for me. The contractor I worked for (and most that I'm aware of) required me to complete a questionnaire that they used to assess my likelihood of getting a clearance before extending me an offer. Not t

Not sure why this article (or Palantir) is trying to paint this as a new thing. I started at a legacy defense contractor immediately after graduating from undergrad. I was hired and had my security clearance process initiated during the fa

Come on, let’s be realistic. Startup options can have merit sure. Maybe they worked out for you, for some lucky people who make the right bet they work out handsomely. But we can do the math on this. What’s the percentage of say, Series B f

This really means very little though. Every private startup will tell you they’re 2 years out from IPO if you interview. And it’s common for employee equity to get massively diluted on the path to acquisition/IPO.

Curious, what firm is "JS" in this context?

Yeah that's pretty much what I figured.

Tangentially, how do you like working for an HFT? I'm a low level software / FPGA developer and have thought about going into the HFT space. Is the work life balance as terrible as people say?

I'm not commenting on your choice of who to vote for, but just pointing out that Jerome Powell, the current chair of the fed, was appointed by Donald Trump. It's not clear that he would even push for changes at the Fed in terms of

This is cool. I've wanted to do something similar except write the CPU in a real HDL and then run it on the web via SystemVerilog compiled to C++ with Verilator compiled to WASM. Just haven't found the time.

Notably, Palmdale, CA is the city where residents have the longest average commute of anywhere in the US, largely because people are commuting from there into the city of LA to work. Palmdale is probably one of the only places where you can

I'm an embedded person, so clueless on this stuff. Are notebooks really used in prod? Outside of applications where notebooks are specifically useful to the goal of the system, ie. documentation,blog posts,textbooks with interactive&#x

I would imagine the end goal here is to develop their own internal models (or partner with one of the companies doing open source models) that would be hosted on the Apple Silicon-based cloud they mentioned and then they would not be depend

Perhaps this is obvious, but embedded systems. C/C++ are still really the only languages where you can basically take for granted that you'll have functional tooling and something resembling a standard library regardless of what p

Awesome, thanks!

That sounds fantastic, thanks.

Any more specific numbers on battery life? I see it says "days" on the website, but I'm curious if there's an hours number with usage condition specified (ie, screen on, reading a book, etc.)

This is cool. Reminds me of Michael Ossman's revolting radios [1] defcon talk from a few years back where they managed to spoof a car unlock code with a single GPIO pin IIRC. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCQaMrRu

Any time you have a computer interacting with the outside world in an asynchronous fashion you basically have to have some form of buffering which takes the form of a queue/fifo. A linked list is the most performant/natural way of

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.17493 There's some cursory indication that in the long tail, training LLMs on LLM-generated data causes model collapse. Kind of like how if you photocopy a photocopy too many times the d

RL seems to be in this weird middle ground right now where nobody knows how to make it work all that well but almost everybody at the top levels of ML research agrees it's a vital component of further advances in AI.

I haven't done deep reading on LLM architectures and I don't really know if LLMs have logits in the traditional sense of a CNN or something, but I think the problem with this is that the LLM's logits would have absolutely no

A tough pill to swallow that I think a lot of students and very junior engineers fail to realize is that bringing on a new grad and/or someone very junior is quite often a drain on productivity for a good while. Maybe ~6 months for the
