I believe CDPush still has some latency involved which would be slower than reading raw config data from a DB.
In addition to the benefits above, by storing storing config in version control is 2 party control, presubmit linting, and easy rollbacks. I suppose the trade off is slower rollouts of config and some delay time in…
PIPs are used as tools to lay people off or get revenge often. It's not meant to be an actual "performance improvement plan." There's many stories of people hitting all requirements within the PIP to still not hit "the…
Any problems where the configuration space is large, and you want to find some optimal configurations to the problem, would in theory benefit since you can directly map the configurations into the entangled qubits.…
Once something is released, there's general access given for that particular software/hw but it still needs to be requested. In a weird way, it creates some internal excitement on "secret" releases but obviously makes…
I think it's a good concept but I think this quote isn't fully accurate: "Such reasoning implies that money is the only reason why people would do something, which is not true. Science can have its own value, because…
If QMs generate a large amount of solutions and these solutions just need to be checked and verified for correctness, it seems more of a statistical mechanical system, where you a large distribution of outcomes may have…
Would TCI recommend they lay off their own staff or reduce their staff salaries due to such abysmal returns also? Lol.
Communism isn't better; you replace elites with another set elites who control power and those who can produce goods and value have zero incentive to produce. Communism has been tried regardless if people come up with…
Uh, their reputation took a huge hit with the mass layoffs. If there was over-hiring, that's a reflection of the higher ups who didn't evaluate the economy, demand, etc... Yet most higher ups are still there, without…
You keep worming your way, distorting your initial statement. You initially stated the following: > Though engineering at FAANG in general is overrated. Know plenty of underperforming people at my company that ended up…
Publish or perish produces such low quality papers. Perhaps there should be a journal for interesting tidbits as opposed to blown out papers, similar to scientific blogs. But I recall in academia, teaching was also…
That logic is not sound. If there's some selection criteria to select engineers from the general populace S, and a subset engineers who make it past S are average, that doesn't mea the end distribution of IQs (you're…
There's definitely testing but it's not at the level that it should be. That is, there's presubmit and postsubmit testing, but who is triaging the results? In addition, how often do we see people design tests to pass…
Why is the defensiveness "unpleasant" when you're the one calling engineers incompetent because they work for FAANG? I quote you: > In fact, most Google engineers taken out of Google are fucking useless, because they've…
Good idea, thanks :-)

Good engineers relative to what? You're conflating averages within a company, to averages in general to software engineers in the market. And you're basing this on the failures of a product without using some baseline.…
A lot of these issues are quality issues but Google outsources QA and testing. Apple hires people from retail to do manual QA and testing. Automation is often not good enough since coverage is slow and triaging of…
I think you're insulting anyone who has worked for FAANG as someone who is not a good engineer, has an average IQ, and only got into the position via grinding. That's pretty disingenuous and not an honest assessment of…
Reminds me of the Star Trek episode about nanites self-replicating.
10x engineers unfortunately seem to never make it up the management chain, as they are threats to management and management just wants them to output things. Ironically 10x engineers can do architecting, project…
What atoms are they using to entangle to create a qubit? How exactly are they entangling these qubits, and re-entangling them post-measurement? I can't find specifics on the quantum CPU architecture in terms of the…
