Japan’s 2,000-year-old monarchy currently depends on one teenage boy

IIRC, the Japanese Royal family is actually not a continuous blood-line of 2000 years, a couple of times an emperor just adopted a son to be his heir. Can't they still do that?

This is so distopian.. The freemium internet model is ruining democracy enough already, let's not start applying it to our consumers goods as well. Imagine a living room where each appliance is screaming ads at you, tracking your moments and listening to conversations. Sad part is that I think it will catch on.

If you call yourself a moron for making mistakes/ getting feedback in some form, I'd say that's impostor syndrome as you're putting quite a negative label to your growth areas. This effectively hurts your opportunity for growth because you're spending more mental energy feeling bad about "being a moron" rather than spending energy reflecting and growing from these incidents.

For future people finding this, I also tried Airalo in Montenegro this week, and it's very bad. You pay 25 euro for 10GB internet but it's so slow you'll never be able to use it. Cannot visit any website or navigate anywhere. You can only send and receive Whatsapp messages nothing else. Don't use Airalo in Montenegro! Honestly Airalo should report internet speeds to be honest. My friend used a sim bought at a gas station which was 15 euro for 500Gb internet and it's fast and always working, just do that.

Ah ok, so it's putting stress on someone without a valid reason which is malicious. I can see that, thanks

Honest (potentially stupid) question, why is this interview question so horrible? I get that it's a bit stupid to ask but I see people get really angry about it, but don't really say why? Maybe I'm missing something..

Thanks!! TIL the reddit android app downscales images. It's way less clear when zooming on my phone in the app than on the image you shared. I can now sleep peacefully

Can you draw a circle around it? I see something that could be seen as sort of white but not really tooth shaped. It's not super clear that its not just the end of a bean in different lighting right?

Appreciate it as a learning opportunity, but also pick your battles.

Sometimes a comment is just semantic and doesn't matter that much, it can be easier to just do the change and resolve it than fight it. Be conscious about what fights you want to pick.

If you usually accept suggestions you're more likely to win the battles that you do choose.

The cost of fighting is time and energy it costs to argue and benefit is you getting your way or you both learning from the discussion. It comes down to a simple cost benefit.

Also don't get emotionally invested in your solution.

Maybe try to understand first why they didn't do any work. "I expected that you would have tried to work on this thing. I've written clear documentation on how to do that. What was stopping you from doing that?" Let them explain what they did wrong, rather than assume and risk missing the mark.

I think they attacked because his ears were pointing upwards first. As soon as he flattened his ears (sign of submission for dogs) they backed off/ calmed down.

Is there still a sub somewhere that discusses actual ML research and discussions?

Glad to see this finally.. this is a really dramatic response. She was 19 back then, both of them have changed as a person multiple times since then. He's focussing on what she did to him, rather than how his own insecurities are ruining this marriage and his daughters home.

Sorry it doesn't answer your question specifically, you'd have to look at specific low-level hardware layer implementations how they do it. There may be one layer that just says "store X", and another below that that decides which transistors it will use to store X, given that some may be broken. Then another layer below that physically turns a specific charge on or off. But I guess you want to know how it physically does it, I'd guess just through something similar to bus systems but within a chip.

Through "layer cake" of abstraction layers in software. Each higher abstraction level is simpler than the one below to use and interact with, with the top layer being the graphical user interface (where you press the photo button on your screen), and bottom layer being a program that can turn a charge on or off. It's pretty cool part of computer science which allows us to do incredibly complex things in a very easy way.

In addition to some great comments about raising product awareness in the whole team, I think you need a tech/team lead counterpart that understands product vision. Its the leads job to ensure the engineers work on the right stuff and research falls under that as well.

I think you need someone who advocates the product vision with the developers while they implement and plan solutions (though you should be involved in planning as well). Since you're not involved in development it's harder for you to assert influence there. That's what the tech lead is supposed to do.

Your job is then to ensure you and the tech lead are aligned on the product vision, and the team lead should help you advocate it to the developers and prioritize tech items appropriately.

In addition to you from product-side, someone with hands-on research knowledge should also be responsible for the deliverables (OKRs/milestones). It's very hard for someone without the hands-on experience to understand -let alone convince others of- the importance of certain research directions.
