I’m reminded of classical LRU cache implementation - double linked list and a hash map that points to the list elements.

It is a queue if we squint really hard, but it allows random access and reordering. Do we have durable structures of this kind?

I can’t imagine how to shoehorn this into Kafka or SQS.

It would be more productive for camera manufacturers to embed a per-device digital signature. Those care to prove their image is genuine could publish both pre and post processed images for transparency.

They could have given us a choice though. Sign in blood that you want to be shut off in case of over spend.

You could set a cloudwatch cost alert that scuttles your IAM and effectively pulls the plug on your stack. Or something like that.

As long as "shut off" potentially includes irrecoverable data loss, I guess, as it otherwise couldn't conclusively work. Along with a bunch of warnings to prevent someone accidentally (or maliciously) enabling it on an important account.

Still sounds kind of ugly.

Malicious or erroneous actor can also drop your s3 buckets. Account change has stricter permissions.

The key problem is that data loss is really bad pr which cannot be reversed. Overcharge can be reversed. In a twisted way it might even strengthen the public image, I have seen that happen elsewhere.

I heard Spain has 20% unemployment among the young and the violence problem did not happen. Didn’t check it though.

Instead of checking and sharing it with us you've decided to pass on the burden of proof to us?

Sorry, I was being lazy and on a phone. I checked now - it’s closer to 25%. Low crime is anecdotal from my personal connections.

if you haven’t done that yet look into “the green revolution”. The practice of blasting things with radiation is rather old. Some of the Most used crops are the product of that process, and yet are perfectly “organic”.

True, and the Green Revolution was amazing (and underappreciated), but I think the key point here is the concept of "deliberately throwing away what we did and recreating it another way", which to my knowledge wasn't done during the Green Revolution.

You may be looking for a “commercial LCD display”.

> For men in NAS, higher baseline optimism levels were similarly related to longer life span (Table 1, NAS; P trend = 0.002). After adjusting for demographics, baseline health conditions, and depression, compared to the least optimistic men, those in the highest quintile had 10.9% (95% CI: 1.3%, 21.5%) longer life span.

Notably absent: control by wealth.

> For NAS, the demographics model includes baseline age, being white, being married, education, family income, and father’s occupation.

Not wealth specifically, but income is probably as good of a controlling factor.

Being part of the model is not the same as controlling for that variable, or is it?

They said "controlling for demographics", which seems to imply pretty strongly that income is a controlled for variable if it's part of the "demographics" model. To get a better answer, you'd probably have to dig for the raw data

It did control that in demographics.

> "For NAS, the demographics model includes baseline age, being white, being married, education, *family income*, and father’s occupation"

I interviewed a guy in person and he paused for 5 seconds, then wrote a perfect solution. I tried making the problem more and more complicated and he nailed it anyway, also after a brief pause. We were done in half the time.

Maybe he just memorized the solution, I don’t know.

Would you fail that guy?

It depends, I had some interviews like this that I suspected. For context, most of the interviews I conduct are technical design related where we have a discussion, less coding. So in those it is quite open ended where we will go, and there are many reasonable solutions.

In those cases where I’ve seen that level of performance, there have been (one or more of):

- Audio/video glitches.

- candidate pausing frequently after each question, no words, then sudden clarity and fluency on the problem.

- candidate often suggests multiple specific ideas/points to each question I ask.

- I can often see their eyes reading back and forth (note; if you use AI in an interview, maybe dont use a 4K webcam).

- way too much specificity when I didn’t ask for it. For example, the topic of profiling a go application came up, and the candidate suggested we use go tool pprof and suggested a few specific arguments that weren’t relevant, later I found in the documentation the same exact example commands verbatim.

In all, the impression I come away with in those types of interviews is that they performed “too well” in an uncanny way.

I worked for AWS for a long time and did a couple hundred interviews there, the best candidates I interviewed were distinctly different in how they solved problems, how they communicated, in ways that reading from an llm response can’t resemble.

The point is that I interviewed the guy in person and he nailed it 200%. If you interviewed him online you would likely come to conclusion he’s a fake per the criteria you specified, wouldn’t you?

It’s not a rubric I’m checking off for interviews. And in person it’s more straightforward to assess a candidate than questioning if they are using any aids over video… whats your point?

He made the point clearly, stop dodging the question...

Wasn’t trying to dodge, I misunderstood the premise.

If this was in person, then no I likely wouldn’t fail them. However, In all my in person interviews I’ve conducted, I’ve never seen that even from the best candidates, that’s why I also find it odd over video.

I might hire him, but I would insist he clock out for his 5 second paused. We can’t have him wasting company time like that.

you pay devs hourly?

Apparently by the second. Don't blink too often.

I’m running a high precision outfit over here ya know

Only Type A run through walls folk

With enough images in the database a match will be found any face.

A couple of thoughts on the big picture:

* Rise of AI is one of the biggest “transfers” of IP-generated wealth.

* It is also a dramatic increase in the “software is eating the world” trend, or at least an anticipation of such. It kinda turned from everyone dragging their feet through software andoptin over the course of 30 years into a massive stampede.
