No one’s time is free though. Whiteboard coding was imo more fair, less biased, and signal rich. AI does change the equation a bit now.

Do tell if you know it.

I recently enrolled but the enrollment just stuck there after I made the payment. Turns out it's not just me. Some people are stuck for weeks..

Is it reasonable to assume the five generations are independent?

Luckily there are copies on other video platforms. e.g.

Rest in peace. I'm still rocking Linux on my MacBook Pro from 2012 which has a bcm nic in it. Thank you.

Any suggestions for how I can get to anywhere close to Lina's skills? It's just mad skills.. I don't believe simply putting in huge amount of time in front of the machine is adequate. Neither is simply being smart. Is it just a combination of being smart, sinking in a lot of time, interests etc?

You work for FB or something?

As a side note:

I listened to the episode with Yann. Compared to other talks (e.g. the previous one with Brian Keating) it was a bit dull and uninteresting. The answers were not that insightful.

> One should give credit to Joel for correctly identifying the issue: great thinkers excel in abstract thought. Many of the comments here, however, seem to misunderstand his point about the propensity of creative minds to continue the refinement process and "not knowing when to stop". One (codeulike) apparently thinks simply being "bored" is what drives abstract thinkers. Let me assure you that is not the case, nor is it an inability to code. Many architecture astronauts started out as wiz coders. I think you are just reading something that's not there.

> My advice to serious young software engineers is to not accept ''m and imprecise thinking as acceptable standards for their chosen vocation. Hmm? What straw man are you attacking?

Facebook wanted to enter China AF but China is smart not to allow it. Zuck had since sort of given up and become less friendly to China.

Which part of user choice do you not understand?

It would hurt engagement.

do you work for FB?

within FB people 'assume good intention'.

outside FB not so much.

think about why

not strange

- TikTok ruined Trumps rally

- Facebook is threatened by TikTok growth in US

- Zuck testifies before congress, pointing fingers at China and companies like TikTok

- Zuck met Trump, shaked hands under the table

- Trump asks TikTok to sell

- to Oracle.... best US company to curb TikTok growth

- Facebook does nothing about Trump posts

- Profit for Trump, less competitor for Zuck

- Things probably staged. What is one reason TikTok "chooses" Oracle over Microsoft?

Off topic, but I always feel PG is both philosophical and dare I say: snake-oily sometimes.

Things like 'A successful startup do X/Y/Z', 'A good founder normally X/Y/Z', and usually X/Y/Z is not that an obvious trait people think that contributes to the success.

He might be right to make the conclusion since he has worked with so many startups and thus has a better classifier than most people, but I can't stop feeling these assertions miss the point and nuances, and is mainly something counter intuitive that he witnesses working as VC. It might be an overfitting issue.

His essays though are usually a good read, lots of times calling out an idea that people sort of experience internally but fail to concretize. He is very good at writing digestible essays.

No need to justify anything. The US gov can do whatever it wants

Intellectual property robbery

All these is to say, I don't believe at all that Britain cares about democracy in HK. It's all virtue signaling and economic/political incentives.

Laws/Declarations etc is moot when Britain took HK as colony through weapon & war, after the 1840 opium war. Remember, the British tried to sell opium to China, the government at the time refused to take the shit the British merchants tried to sell to China, and the British was like you know what, I'll shove this down your throat. It's so weird when people talk about HK, they don't talk about how it all started, or as if they take colony and war as granted. Good thing China has nuclear these days : )

> ...have a strong suspicion it was the Chinese government...

so it MUST be China!

> ...There were close to 800 of them: PowerPoint presentations from customer meetings, an analysis of a recent sales loss, design details for an American communications network. Others were technical, including source code...

powerpoint and some technical files

> relayed the PowerPoints and other sensitive files to an IP address registered to Shanghai Faxian Corp

powerpoint and some sensitive files again.

It's hard to believe Nortel had any 'edge' in 5G, and judging from other comments of first hand experiences here Nortel's failure has more to do with itself than anything else.
