You suspect not, but you'd be wrong :) Those things do require a ticket. We can't install our own equipment, only IT is allowed to do that. Pretty strict about connecting peripherals and USBs too.

Have you read the GPT-3 paper? The authors are pretty forthright about how the GPT techniques likely won't scale much beyond 175B parameters.

How does that work at a large company that's already bureaucratic? Where I work, I still have to open tickets for everything. I still have to wait a long time for new equipment. How does a union make that worse if I have to wait for co

Switzerland. As an American, I wanted to move there after zipping around the country on their buses and trains. That was such a good experience, even the tickrt app brought me joy.

> I could have done that, but I didn't - because I'm not sufficiently full of shit. It sounds like you're disparaging the art (and in fact the artists for producing it) because you think it's not sufficiently techni

That's fair. Do you think I am causing one with this comment?

I appreciate the cogency of your broader point, but please reconsider using the terminology "virtue signaling." When one person accuses another of virtue signaling, even implicitly, there are typically only two possibilities: 1. T

Read the SEC documentation on insider trading directly. Barring that, Matt Levine gives accessible (and entertaining) which is informative for a lay audience.

That is because the actual stipulation is for there to be a confidentiality or fiduciary agreement. As shorthand, "illicitly obtained" could therefore be replaced with, "illicitly appropriated." On its own, material and

No, material and nonpublic is necessary but insufficient for the trading to be illegal. It must also break a confidentiality agreement, fiduciary duty or specific law pertaining to the way the information is released to the person and their

That strikes me as a short tolerance for feeling something is ruined. He appropriately highlighted the real time estimate of the more involved work in a footnote. He didn't literally mean all of the work was one day, he's trying t

Given: - the context that the author already has a very successful career as a well-known developer - the humility he evidences in most posts on his blog - the fact that he explicitly highlights the work of others in this post alongside his

The study hasn't been published, so what's the story doing here? Tell me when I can read an actual paper.

These are the requirements for an existing employee to move to full-time remote, according to the all-hands today: 1. Level IC5 or higher (this is what most would call "senior"). 2. Can't have performance less than meets expe

No it isn't, I just like calculus/analysis. I don't work in trading, my job is developing simulations in operations research.

It's probably getting downvoted because it's not actually relevant. I'm not sure why there are so many comments here talking about refusing to interview or "rejecting" recruiter advances. The OP was very specific in

I was offered significantly more money from a non-FAANG than any of my (three) FAANG offers were willing to give me, with better liquidity. At the end of the day, that's all I cared about. I'm very happy with where I landed, and h

I’m aware of what the central limit theorem is, but I’m confused as to what you mean here. Do you mind clarifying? It sounds like you’re saying the CLT leads to deanonymization. I don’t see how the two are related.

This is an incorrect interpretation of the report. Or at least, the way it's stated is misleading. We have not "gotten rid of" 60% of wildlife on Earth. What has actually happened is (since the 1970s), the average reduction

To give you an answer focused on the crypto itself, because the way they explained the TLS properties doesn't make this clear: 1. Integrity is redundant with authentication, so really you could say they're ensuring confidentiality

If that's the case that's a big problem, because human children are trivially capable of both formulating and understanding uncommon sentences which still make sense. It might be hard to come up with examples on the spot, but in e

Consider the query, "non-glass skyscrapers", which suffers from the same problem. What do you call a skyscraper like that if you want to refer to it? They exist, but you can't find them using that search term on Google.
