I find it sounds disturbing as well, never
heard of such thing before.

Here in the UK, you go to an independent mechanic, maybe somewhere in the workshop they have a calendar with pictures of topless women.

On the other hand, you go to a national chain, the calendar has a message about the importance of embracing teamwork.

Sexual harassment training purports to transform organisations that behave like the first one into organisations that behave like the second one. How much of the difference in behaviour is a consequence of the training and how much from other factors is obviously difficult to measure.
Sexual harassment prevention training is an area where HR and employee incentives are well-aligned today, because the risk of a sexual harassment incident has a large reputational component.

Gone are the days when a company just needed a box to tell a court that they checked. The public doesn't care about those boxes. The only way to manage the reputational risk of sexual harassment is to really try to prevent incidents. Good training can do that.

Good training does not just tell you what you cannot do, it explores hypotheticals and addresses headline topics that people are thinking about. It is educational not just proscriptive.
That sounds like an interesting use case. If you want, I'll give you a free premium subscription if I can do a case study on your problem and the solution.
I don't think you're making a very compelling justification for bicycling on sidewalks.

Your statistic regarding UK pedestrians being killed/hit vs bicyclists being killed/hit isn't strong as it's probable that nowhere near as many bicyclists choose to ride on the sidewalk as compared to staying in bike lanes and roads. That is, if more bicyclists opted to ride on sidewalks, the incident rate would certainly increase.

Additionally, rationalizing this in terms of the risk towards the bicyclist just comes off as selfish: "I'm not comfortable with the risk I'm facing while bicycling on the roads, therefore I will put pedestrians at risk instead."

Perhaps instead of endangering pedestrians, something more constructive would be to engage politically to improve the situation (maybe you do this already, if so, awesome!).
Ideally a diversity officer would BE Damore.
Cyclists constantly break the law in literally every city I’ve ever seen cyclists in. As long as they’re being safe, I don’t really blame them either - very few cities are designed with cyclists in mind and the letter of the law is usually hugely inconvenient.
You have to be 18 years old with a driver's license to ride Bird scooters.
Those are 3 orthogonal(ish) things.

Realtime just means that actions triggered by event occur in an explicitly bounded time. It doesn't usually mean that they occur in the same time. So a GC with bounded pause could be used in a realtime system assuming you could guarantee the explicit bounds.

I can't comment on whether or not this is true of Nim and pause time probably isn't sufficient (depends on how it's defined) but they're not mutually exclusive.

And most kernels don't need to be realtime unless they are realtime kernels.

Having said that, of course, the vast majority of GC systems are most definitely not realtime, or anywhere close. But that's just actually true, not theoretically true.
In the end it all comes down to the energy cost of doing a computation. With good architectures and compilers, the code is causing as few unnecessary bit flips as possible to get to the results and, unless you have a significant difference in how much energy it takes do that, all CPUs will end up close.

But CPUs are just part of the equation - you can make significant gains in other parts of the computer and memory is a good target. When we got to the point PSUs live as independent things plugged into the same rack as your servers, it means we are really concerned about not feeding one amp more than we need to.
If Tesla becomes the next Volkswagen in 10 years,
they will have gained 42% returns over 10 years.

And if they become a trillion dollar company, they will have gained 1566%.

They are in AI and in Solar. Two giant waves ahead of us. AI will be bigger then the web. Solar might too. The 'Google of AI' will be way bigger then Google.

Given the high risk that Tesla won't
become the next Volkswagen, it seems over-priced.

The 'risk' that Tesla becomes the Google of AI or the Apple of Solar makes up for it.

Start doing dumb shit?

I've been seeing cyclist blow through stop signs for 30 years.
The analogy holds in the same manner as claiming that Roosevelt is like Hitler because they both had a mustache. The superficial similarities between the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians and South African apartheid are precisely those which aren't exclusive to any definition of Apartheid. There is no racial segregation in Israel, but an ongoing occupation and conflict between two separate and distinct political entities. It's no more of an "apartheid" than any other occupation in human history.

As for the "many laws that privilege people of a given religion over another":

a. Religion has nothing to do with it. The word you are looking for is ethnicity. Some laws favouring the Jewish ethnicity do naturally exist in Israel, as the whole idea behind its creation was to provide a national home for the Jewish people in order to insure their preservation. Similar laws exists in many European (and other) countries as well [1].

b. The majority of laws mentioned in your link have nothing to do with this. Let's look at the list of "discriminating laws" from one of the linked files:

> Law imposing a mandatory minimum sentence on convicted stone-throwers

> Law revoking child allowances from parents of children convicted of security offenses

> Law imposing fines on the parents of stone-throwers and others

> New NGO “funding transparency” bill

And others of similar nature.

Claiming that those laws are discriminating against the Palestinians is like claiming that homicide laws in the US are discriminating against racial groups that are disproportionately more likely to commit homicide.

That this nonsense is considered a sound argument by supposedly intelligent people is a good indication of the amounts of irrational bias surrounding any discussion of Israel.

I think we're still lacking the conceptual framework, the grand scheme if you will.

AGI probably requires some kind of hierarchy of integration, and current AI is only the bottom level. We probably need to build a heck of a lot of levels on top of that, each one doing more complex integration, and likely some horizontal structure as well, with various blocks coordinating each other.
A couple significant callouts:

(1) "Behind the scenes, Now 2.0 works like an extensible build system and compiler, capable of transforming your sources into static files and serverless functions (lambdas) for production."

The demo is pretty slick. I've seen other frameworks, like Begin.com, where your lambdas are more explicit, but I'm curious to try this autogenerated approach.

(2) "The Now 2.0 platform features include:
A unified deployment type: All deployments are one type, regardless of static or dynamic parts
Massive build parallelization: Each deployment can kick off many concurrent serverless builds.
Monorepo support: Define API endpoints in Go, PHP, Node.js, Next.js, and such, in just one repository.
Zero-instruction builds: Our open-source builders take the build and cache config burden away.
Universal Cloud: Our platform leverages the best cloud infrastructure, with no lock-in or config.
With the following pricing improvements: Fully on-demand pricing, Per-100ms pricing for compute, Free seats for small teams
Including a better free-tier for our community."

It feels like all the Zeit features are coming together for a more complete offering. I love it.
Class Action Law Firm Has Cases Against Tesla
Ohh I see what you mean! Yes, it's just as easy to say she went for a throat punch as it is to say he karate chopped her arm. I totally get what you meant now. Sorry for not understanding. :)
That seems wasteful, but that is the equivalent to getting a single IPv4 address by asking for it, and the IPv4 shortage wasn't caused by the distribution of individual addresses. It's a world of difference to getting a /8 by asking for it.
So I wonder if Micron will support 16Gbit LPDDR4X chips by the time Intel launches its 10nm chips.
> Scheme even has a fixed syntax in the RnRS reports. Lisp does not have that.

Could you link to the RnRS in question? I'm curious.

> Not really. One just reads things from a stream and returns an s-expression.

I feel like if I agree to this, I also agree that pre-processors are easy to write and use. And that undermines the innovation and superiority of syntactic macros introduced by Lisp.

> The main purpose of user-written reader macros is to extend S-expressions to support literal syntax of new user-defined data types.

This is possible in Clojure as well. You can extend the language with new data literals. But they must begin with # + char(s) and respect the existing reader semantics, as they are processed as a syntactic macro, and not a lexical one. So you could add #queue[1 2 3] for example. But you couldn't add |1 2 3|

If only they'd still make those, and had improved its performance.

Car drivers and cyclists blow reds at much the same rates. Only car drivers end up killing a significant number of people doing so, though.

Also: outgroup, confirmation bias.
It’s a tricky situation. I was in a position to look for hires, but I was surprised to realize how many of my friends weren’t necessarily qualified for that position. It wasn’t a high position or anything either.

If you can vouch for a friend to that degree, they probably don’t need your help.
"Tolerance does not and must not require tolerating intolerance"

On the other hand, it's rather convenient how much intolerance can itself be justified by simply quoting that and just a bit of rules lawyering.
Yeah I don't understand it - both of these models should not exist together.
I think it depends on the professor. When I wrote my diploma thesis (in Ilmenau), my professor also insisted on academic references and something on the research side. A pure engineering project was not accepted. But it's not super hard to disguise some engineering as research, if it at least contains something new (e.g. the work here does use Rust as a relatively new language).
Similarly, the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX has a Japanese midget submarine that was part of the Pearl Harbor attack. It's astounding how small it is -- if my memory serves me correctly, I wouldn't have been able to stand up in it.

> or only for men

If it's anything like everywhere I've ever worked, it's mandatory for everybody, and they go out of their way to pretend their not just talking to the men about the women, but it's actually twice as uncomfortable because all of the women - for whom this training is actually for - are sitting next to the men, for whom the training is actually targeted. So you sit through an hour of uncomfortable filterspeak that would make the 80's Soviet Kremlin cringe.

For them to be off the sidewalks we need normal bike/scooter lanes. I do cycling and LA for example is pretty bad with bike lanes... sad!
It's how I feel about it too. All the structures that provide motivation, drive, initiative - are mandatory. Those have evolved first in the natural world, for reasons that I think are semi-obvious. Complex intelligence has emerged later.
We use it in production. It makes deploying serverless apps into multiple AWS accounts way easier. It also speeds up creating CloudFormation YAML templates a lot.
I went through sexual harassment training, and it was helpful because in two later situations where I had to manage situations related to sexual harassment, I knew what to do.
Well said. Humans (and all living things) have the same ultimate goal: life. They need to keep themselves alive somehow and keep their genes alive by reproduction. That single goal has blossomed into what we are today. If we train AI with an evolutionary algorithm, and let it fend for its needs (compute, repair, energy), then it could learn the will to life that we have, because all variants that don't have it will be quickly selected out of existence.

I think AGI could happen with today technology if we only knew the priors nature found with its multi-billion year search. We already know some of these priors: in vision, spatial translation and rotation invariance, in temporal domain (speech) it is time translation invariance, in reasoning it is permutation invariance (if you represent the objects and their relations in another order, the conclusion should be unchanged). With such priors we got to where we are today in AI. Need a few more to reach human level.
Are lust, fear, hate requirements for intelligence? There are part of human intelligence for sure. I feel the a problem is that we don't have a good definition of intelligence.
>Why not just ban alcohol at work? Why can't work be work, and social stuff can happen outside of it?

I see this sentiment a lot (especially on HN!) and I share it. I usually skip team dinners when I can. But there's no accounting for taste, and humans in general seem to have a taste for mixing work and "social stuff", so why shouldn't companies encourage it in that capacity?
The claim about compiler IRs is strange. For one thing, hardware is different. Which hardware are you claiming LLVM IR is "accurate" to?

More concretely, LLVM IR has integer types for any bit size, while actual hardware architectures have only a few. Many real CPUs have condition code registers set as side effects of operations, while LLVM requires explicit compares, etc.
yes I agree but I think this reasoned argument is drowned out by the cries of “but he hit her, no he didn’t...”

> But it still treats Palestinians as second-class citizens

Which Palestinians? Most Palestinians aren't Israeli citizens, never were, and don't reside in Israel. So naturally they aren't treated as citizens at all.

Palestinians who are Israeli citizens have exactly the same rights as Jewish citizens of Israel, or those of any other ethnicity. Whatever discrimination or racism they face in their everyday lives, when it occurs, is extremely unfortunate, but sadly isn't different from that faced by minorities in most other western countries.
Personal anecdote, cyclists blow through stop signs because the infrastructure isn't built for bicycles. Having to come to a stop and then start up on a bicycle is the hardest part and cyclists hate it.

Using the drivers from rump kernels with a QNX kernel might work. QNX runs drivers, file systems, and networking in userland. The rump kernel people have those components. The QNX kernel itself does only memory allocation, process management, CPU dispatching, timers, and inter-process messaging. So it's tiny, relatively trouble-free, and has a small attack surface.

So if someone implemented a QNX-style microkernel in Rust, file systems and networking could be adapted from rump kernels. Drivers would require more porting. That would be a nice way to get a usable but small OS for embedded and IoT devices. Linux has more than you want in an embedded device.

Do commercial jets have things like displays of graphs over time for the altimeter? Or is it all looking at instantaneous values?
> a distinction worth making, but certainly not in this context.

It is a worthwhile distinction, because the "re-implementation" talked about is often materially different, to the point that it no longer adheres to what little standardization there is.

So realistically we are talking about a new product, or a radical evolution of an existing one. It and everything above it also have to change.
I can't help but think the Chinese market winds up a trap of sorts - demanding international compromises that can harm their footing in other markets only to find that breaking into it is hard and there either already had or will have plenty of native competition making it less greenfield a market than they think.

Although China in turn has difficulties when attempting expansion outside their borders as well apparently according to some stories.
Neither the Gulf War air campaign nor the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia qualifies as a 'carpet bombing.' Both struck individually targeted strategic targets while attempting to minimize civilian casualties.

Is there any research on the effect of training on sexual assault in the workplace?
Before this article I had never heard of this website before. So sad to see a site like this go. Like the director of the site said, I'm glad archive.org will be able to provide a carbon copy, but this quote makes it seem bittersweet:

“If it just goes into archive.org, it’s going to be there in perpetuity, but it’s not going to be changing at all,” Hohman says. “It’s not going to be the same thing, that sort of community and project that it was for ... almost 10 years.”

Here's to hoping someone with more capital than me can help keep this site afloat. I'm willing to donate what I can (read not a lot) if there is presented a greater chance of extending the service's lifetime. Considering the shutdown is already scheduled this month, I feel like my small donation would be too late unless there was a more transparent fundraiser.
I disagree that anxiety is being "attuned to danger", to me just is not feeling well, & it's another one of those "modern epidemics", cut to the point, it's a modern malaise, so much so that the more in line w/ human-animal you are, the less anxious you are e.g.: being active/doing sports, being in nature, not being time-pressed(trivia: we only started living by the clock some 200 years ago), having strong social ties, leisure etc.

I also disagree that it's an "asset", I'll say already that I hate this type of language that turns everything into money, but from what I can tell and have read, being anxious/depressed/unwell is cognitive & emotionally taxing, and most way-too-anxious people have a hard time just thinking straight, so I think there's no way this this thesis stands.

I'm a very analytic/cautious/rational person and I think this is very related to being able to be a good professional, but I've also always felt that anxiety was poison and got the hell away from what I felt was sources, which I don't regret. I also think it's at least as much exogenous(i.e. environmental) as it is endogenous(i.e. oh you came from the factory with X so that's it). Relax is king.
> I mean we laugh at the fact we threw bound women in the water to divine whether they were witches.

Off topic, but IIRC we didn't do exactly that. We threw mainly men, and some women, bound, in water to elicit confessions. It's not that we believed there was divination happening, it's just torture. Let someone nearly drown, then pull them out and threaten to do it again.

Not divining, just waterboarding.
Many northern (and some southern) cities have a skyway system which connects pedestrians on the second floor. Out of the weather, comfortable temperature year round. Let the cars have the icy slippery roads at ground level, no need for a sidewalk near the street. Once you leave your car head to second floor and go where you want to be. The second floor rents are the highest because that is where people are.

Building tunnels is expensive. Building bridges for cars is expensive, but a bridge that only needs to handle humans is much cheaper a 500kg fatso is much lighter than a 500kg fatso in a 4000kg SUV.

Another reason for the big song and dance about how environmentally friendly they are with recycled aluminium and so on. It stops Greenpeace and other groups shaming them for the environmentally unfriendly practice of creating products that are not repairable or upgradable which obviously shortens its usable lifespan causing more co2 emissions from people going through more devices.

Under Cooks leadership they are doing everything they can to squeeze every last dollar from their customer base in a masterclass of price, strategy and product positioning and the supposed value proposition (touchbar, etc) is often dubious at best.
