I wonder if the process to debugging this is just to search for what power of 2 times a time unit equals ~66 days

Well in the same vain that we discuss "points" and talk about the merits, its useful to discuss and understand their counter points. I for one did not know about this and thought it was insightful when building a product that hasn

I mean it wouldn't make sense for it to be more profitable for google if there were no search deals, since otherwise they would just cancel the deal themselves. Clearly they see long term value in blocking out competition even at that

I don't have exact numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if 80-90% of google ad revenue comes from the ad prices they can charge for US users. I would be shocked if the percentage was less than 50-60% of revenue from US alone, whic

Funny that I am seeing this now, because last Fall I had Daniel Genkin as my Intro to Cyber Security Professor (co-author of this result). Interesting class, but I remember him mentioning that they were working on a speculative attack for A

I am a little concerned with letting an AI agent that routinely hallucinates control my browser. I can't not watch it do the task, in case it messes up. So I am not sure what the value is versus me doing it myself.

See after just having through 3 rounds of recruiting over the past three years, I don't think the ghosting is intentional from most companies. I would say 60% of companies give a "not continuing" response after 1-2 months fro

See this is tricky in my mind, because it doesn't seem like this was just a move to stop AWS/GCP cloud hosting Scylla. That was already solved with the AGPL license. This seems like they are just trying to stop any usage of Scylla

I am not well versed with mathematics publishing, but has this proof been already been peer reviewed by other mathematicians, or is it still awaiting confirmation/proof replication?

I got this formula as well. I viewed it as an expanding binary tree where you end up cutting branches early, similar to a alpha beta pruning search tree

I wrote some python code which should give the right answer def formula(total_qs, terminating): total = 1 << (total_qs - len(terminating)) for i, num in enumerate(terminating): total += 1 << (num - i) ret

I got nerd sniped by this question, and I think I have a closed form formula. Obviously it needs a summation since the order/placement of the numbers matters. The formula is 2^(# of questions - # terminating questions) + SUM[2^(termini

honestly, I see this as a sign of Google bureaucracy/cost-cutting taking over the company's culture. Considering how much innovation in tech is happening right now, blowing cash on a dividend rather than internal projects that cou

I totally agree with what you are saying, My point was that this policy just seems to be another one of those policies to get them to not be promoted. More hoops you may call it

Having talked to many friends at Dell (interns and full time), I have a few observations about this: 1. I know many people on HN hate the idea of RTO, and for good reasons, but one downside I saw of remote was that junior engineers struggle
