> A 100-bit bloom filter holding 100,000 keys is saturated instantly. Every bit is set. It returns “maybe present” for every key you ask about — which means it filters nothing, and every read falls through to a full file scan.
Hahaha. (Seems like the bloom filter library isn't set for maximum false positive rate and/or to autoexpand.)
Edit: Actually there's a BloomFalsePositive setting, maybe it never gets used? Also maybe it's not a library and it's a custom implementation.
Marketing might help at some workplaces, presumably that are dedicated to Microsoft, for example our network blocks Claude (and DeepSeek) and is slowly rolling out Codex team by team. They should encourage Amazon/AWS to market for them.
> Let’s imagine the owner lowers the rent by 30% to fill the building.
Thought I'd comment with some concrete numbers. New buildings near me (West LA) are at $4100/month for a studio, where average rent in the area is $2300 for a studio, $2650 for a 1-bedroom. To fit in with "average" rent they'd need to lower 44% however 30% might be about right. Otherwise at 4% inflation wait 9 years? 1.04^9 = 1.42 ~ 100/(100 - 30).
Thread.sleep(100000) everywhere until it breaks. Then lo and behold you have fought fires longly and bravely until midnight on Friday after the release. Don't ask me why it's rewarded, and, of course every now and then they switch to rewarding different things.
If the rule change goes through then SpaceX could be added to an index such as the S&P 500, where many (most?) pension funds invest. "S&P 500 has been considering a rule change to waive the earnings requirement and shorten the seasoning period for mega-cap IPOs like SpaceX." "Pension funds allocate 30% to 50% of their total portfolios to broad U.S. equities [in the form of index funds.]"
Any niche? I mean, possibly large-scale data processing, yet I've seen people go more niche than that. In other words if your resume has 5+ years in one particular industry then that might be whom to target.
> diskless laptop with a USB live distro with no RW filesystem
Which distro? One known problem is that browsers still transmit their location. If the network and the laptop are hundreds of yards distant, that's an instant red flag. Once that problem is corrected, there may be unknown problems to deal with.
Have an upvote. The "Note: It is allowed to cost money." reminds me that the $5 charge on MeFi filters out alot of noise. However, this doesn't necessarily promote an increase in quality. Much of the discussion can be, like Reddit, cute or snarky one-liner comments.
You're right about the pay for teachers. However if you look at the way it's worked out for adjunct professors at the college level, the part-time pay is even less, plus they miss out on benefits. If there's any high school teachers' union involved, I'd bet they'd be against allowing part-time teachers.
Once I chanced upon an ad for high school comp sci teacher. They were willing to waive the Master's degree requirement as well as the teaching credential requirement. As you note, the pay was ridiculously low, about 30-35% less than industry salary for a fresh-out-of-school graduate. Would have been nice though, for someone eager to teach but wanting to skip the 2-4 years of extra training.
> they're getting paid the same or more than existing software devs.
Ha. Look at some writeups of the SoCal Edison outsourcing, for example. U.S. citizens making $95K were replaced with H1-B workers earning $60-65K, and that's generously estimating the lower salaries. Tata and Infosys might pay their workers closer to $40-50K.
