I mean F1 teams are literally named directly after their corporate owners too (who are not necessarily the ones designing the engines/...) and people seem to love that.

The only real correct solution here is to send mantissa and exponent as two separate integers. It's trivial to convert between exponents for whatever math you want, it can be as correct as you want, and is unambiguous. In the HFT space

Well then I definitely haven't been finding the good ones!! Any recommendations on how to comparison shop recruiters w/o a rec/referral from a trusted peer?

Definitely could be selection bias, but every time I have seen a copy of a resume a head hunter has forwarded a potential employer it has _always_ had the recruiting firm's letterhead plastered above my content, and my email removed.

Not if you're a valuable candidate. An example (I have intimate experience with) is the finance/hft space in NYC -- if you're employed at a competitive player in this space in trading/quant/engineering you will almo

They can't, otherwise a significant fraction of the people they reach out to would just skip the head hunter and contact the company directly. Same reason these same head hunters will usually strip any direct-contact details out of you

Refugee? Asylum seeker? Move to support family? Could be many things forcing relocation.

No argument there, id eject from any company that even started to consider such measures (unless they're adding a few zeroes to my paycheck)

I think this is largely off the mark for most engineering teams built around roughly-aligned peers. Sure, if your team is extremely lopsided or unfocused, and e.x. has one person from every discipline, you don't want to cross train eve

We're the employees taking advantage of that trust? Seems a strange thing to mandate unless that trust has been severely broken.

Why does this link me to the homepage of the blog instead of the article that matches the HN title?

Because I've seen AI do it myself? It will very readily take a lofty aim from the brainstorming phase, maybe mentioned off-hand or out of context in a planning doc somewhere, and regardless of if it's implemented it will claim it&

You're looking a massive selection bias. Most people in tech are _not_ saying those things (e.g. most software engineers in my circle would agree learning to code at a non trivial level is decidedly NON trivial). The vocal elite at the

Then your issue isn't with AI, it's with your bureaucracy. Just because your company is holding it wrong doesn't mean the entire technology is morally fraught. If your company's goal is to generate "more useless tex

I mean it's almost like having a moral stance on the assembly line, or calculators. If they truly do provide massive technological benefits, and it turns out the externalities aren't as bad as some are projecting, it's hard t

Imo those are not nearly as mutually exclusive as you're presenting, as would be evidenced by anyone seriously reviewing the output of these systems, to the point it feels like a bad faith argument or an uninformed one

Isn't it to some degree? My understanding was with index funds was that the index is required to be backed by some in-kind holding of the component index products by whomever minted the index share. If more people buy the index then mo

I'm not saying there can't be very clear counter examples, I guess the overall sense though is that "being a team player' is generally considered an attractive quality in any employee. If A is a team player and B isn&#x2

Not sure any of the band members are over 1b individually which is the current threshold. Maybe, though.
