The locations seem like gimmicks to me quite a lot of times, and I don't mean ICLR conferences specifically. This time it happens to be politically motivated. At other times, it seems like they are picking exotic locations (Hawaii, Bahamas, etc.) because they know their university or company is going to fund it.

It's been quiet around IOTA for a while, ... incomprehensible why anyone would use IOTA for anything.
it is run by people (come_from_beyond and other questionable characters whose understanding of Math can best be summed up as "Numberwang"). People who think that collision resistance doesn't have to be a primary feature of a hash functions.

the IOTA guys have been ignorant towards any criticism from the cryptography experts (ask people like Matthew D Green and others). IOTA is a total clusterfuck. Don't use it. Or if you do please check at least twitter to see what people with an actual idea are really saying.

I don’t know that the Indian govt throws money at anything, so I’m not sure about that part.
That says a lot about the US. In Europe, you can buy only one type of garden hose because there is only one kind of port. If the EU would introduce a new standard to which roofs have to be built, then people will start using it within 3 years. And they will benefit a lot from that standard, so you will think twice before buying a new roof for 20k+ and not buy from the companies that keep to this standard. Also don’t underestimate the power of adapters.

I think you also conflate the way which something is built with the specification it is built against - like interfaces vs implementation details. If you tell companies to build a certain kind of roof, with ports and wiring, then they will not receive any money if they don’t meet your spec. They are free to use the kind of wood, nails, wires (as long as thick enough) that they like, and this is where they can compete against each other.
Speaking of which, a hardware JVM would also mean clojure on the metal :)
I think it does make a difference. Point is making market salaries the norm of everybody eventually makes more talented people come into the system hence this sort of thing would be much more difficult to pull off because there are other good people policing the system. Sso I guess its worth a shot if possible.

> in science there’s no place for identity politics

Sounds like a "theory vs practice thing". Do you believe that identity should not, and/or does not affect a person's ability to practice science to the best of their potential?

Of course I believe that in theory it should not but in practice it does. Organizations that try to correct, compensate, steer, etc. things towards where they should be, need to exist because things are not where they should be. There is nothing unscientific about it, but maybe you have data to prove otherwise. (I personally have no idea if BlacksInAI does this job well or not. The choice of Ethiopia in this case does not look great)

Respectfully, I don't think it is, and the tone of your reply suggests you assume it'd go badly. Other than being (perhaps) slightly more expansive as a question, I really don't get what the big deal is. It's an opener. I'll happily give it a go and I'm fairly certain it'll be fine.

Edit: by badly, I mean badly for me. I'm getting a bunch of downvotes above - obviously this is just my opinion, based on my interactions with people over the last few years.
I’ve seen the decline of one of these companies as a consultant, here’s what I saw:

Management will start fighting for different features, and communication on what to build will be vague, with the possibility of engineers sitting idle while they fight it out.

All benefits and travel cancelled.

Once the development plan is decided, there’s huge pressure from higher up to work quickly. But they will not respond to feedback that some of their requests are conflicting or impossible.

Senior engineers are gone now, hiring starts, but the managers are unable to assess the tech capabilities so inappropriate hires (people who can’t even fizz buzz) are hired.

These engineers spend months “coming up to speed” then usually quit or have some health problem, or file a lawsuit

Rapid project flip flopping starts. Developer Time managed in increments of less than 1 day.

Computing infra starts becoming unreliable because the senior devops are gone, and it’s been outsourced to people who can’t run a cluster - in the organisation I was at we had a 75 node Hadoop Linux cluster which was administered by 3, 20 year old juniors who had not used Linux before.

Deliverables failing and quietly deadlines being missed. Now managers are getting fired. New managers are overwhelmed at the giant mess. Manager turnover is high.

Nothing is really getting done, legacy projects put in by the competent people before they left are the cash cows, but the giant mess the company is in means it will slowly decline.

Any tiny win is celebrated as a giant triumph- some junior uses Keras to make a simple classifier in the weekend and suddenly the company “has an AI division” - though the benefits of this announcement are short lived because there’s no monitisation or strategy, or actual product

I was on a 6 month contract and didn’t renew it after that, the company still exists, but they aren’t growing

I fully respect each country's right to refuse anyone, including without providing a reason (as was the case with me). I see it as "their loss" :-) You pesky computer scientists, stay away!
I suspect most people here would be better off doing something orthogonal to their work. If you spend your day staring at a screen then perhaps your side business should involve working with your hands.
I usually use "What projects have you been working on?" If there's nothing, then I ask "What have you been excited about recently?"

I'm surprised by the pushback on HN. "Tell me about yourself" is a guiding principle, not a literal tactical prescription. "Those that are interested are interesting", as the saying goes.
grpc is one that we're struggling with at the moment, psycopg2 is another that won't Just Work (you need to use a special "adapter" that teaches the underlying C library to hook into the event loop). In general anything that is a) not implemented in pure python, and b) doing calls that you expect to be monkey patched (mainly network calls).

This is thankfully fairly rare, but it is something you need to be aware of.
Actually, that's how comments and links are ranked on this very website. Moreover, still on this very website, not everyone can downvote, and the threshold is a quantitative measure of likes. So literally, you comment's font color is due to what you sarcastically suggest we do.

Finally, i'm guilty of occasionally looking at some HN user profile and just to see how many upvotes it has. If the user has 15k+, I always go "wooooow" ^^ So yeah.

But then again, as a fellow commenter has already pointed out, a like requires a click and a citation a publication.

Learning Regular Expressions: The Practical Way (2015)
I love Daniel and the amazing work he’s done over the last several years ... but that blog reads like a parody. He’s complaining about filling forms like it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. Meanwhile, for folks who aren’t American/Canadian/European/Australian, this is just a regular Tuesday.

Typically when I file for visas I have to give detailed statements of all my bank accounts, all my investments, my income tax statements for the last 3 years, a list of all the places I’ve travelled, medical insurance, a letter from my employer guaranteeing that I’ll be back and god knows what else. This was for an Australian visa btw, that allows visa free travel if you’re American, Canadian or European.

That’s not even the half of it. A friend of mine applied for a Schenghen visa for a 6 day trip and got a 5 day visa. The border agent then harassed him on his way out for “overstaying” his visa.

Heaven forbid that people with privilege are subjected to the horrors of filling forms.
Perhaps the parent comment has had some bad luck, but I've lived in a half-dozen US states, and have never seen any garden hose tap that was different than the standard set in the 60s. FWIW. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_hose

I read this book this week. Its not well written, the „wisdom“ in it could be broken down to one page, and the religious explanation leaves a bad taste. Still there are some parts in it which are true imho and are often forgotten. For example that its necessary to be not cynical about your work, and treat it like something valuable which is not owned by you. To leave your ego out of the work and do the work for the work.
This is not true. Although Gardena has a huge market penetration in the EU, it is not a EU standard.

Per bank auto-refresh could be exploited with elaborate memory controller algorithm trying to always prioritize refreshing unused/least used banks, except it was broken by design and you couldnt control which bank to refresh. Nobody even bothered implementing per row refresh counters to skip freshly read rows. Rowhammer is a real shitshow exposing sloppy memory engineering in the industry.

I started writing `nnn` because of 2 reasons:

- I needed something that _performs_ on the Pi which I was setting up as a _media player_ for my 3-yr old.
- `ranger` wasn't an option because of slow python deps and I found ranger's changing/shifting panes very confusing. Please don't get me wrong here, I have several popular utilities in python. But when it comes to low-power, low-freq devices, the performance of interpreted or scripting languages is questionable.

`nnn` also has the `du` and `navigate-as-you-type` modes which aren't readily available in `ranger` (AFAIK; I don't use it). Then you get to copy (un)quoted file path(s) even without X, `vidir` integration, terminal locker support and finally, all the painstaking optimization.

The binary size is ~60KB (much lesser than the C source file that generates it). The requirements are minimal too - a c (say, musl) and a curses library.

Copying file path(s) between two instances of `nnn` works seamlessly (with or without clipboard).

I think the philosophy behind `ranger` and `nnn` are different and they were written to cater to different use-cases and a different audience at the very beginning. I had to write `nnn` on my desktop and at some point I noticed it works like a charm with my drop-down terminator session (I never lose any context anymore) so it became a desktop software.

more minimalist, smaller, a tiny bit more responsive. Probably a lot less capable since ranger seems quite featured.
There was 1 downvote (until now), the person I responded to got downvotes, plural.

It was obvious who I who responding to, surely. No idea why you say that. Ok.. It's not clear to me what type of comments I am allowed to make about people's posts if not the type I made. If you don't understand, ask. Telling me it's 'tangential' and referring to what I'm 'trying to say' are unfriendly moves that could be used in replying to most comments on HN. But I feel that whatever I could say wouldn't be welcome here so...bye.

`nnn` is not tied to a single editor. It can work with anything. Yesternight I ended up writing a plugin for vim as one of the users requested.

The Decline and Fall of IBM by Robert X. Cringley is an interesting read. Some of Alan Kay's writings give an indication of how Xerox Parc fell. Bell Labs is an outlier in that it was the AT&T break-up that ended up starving it of funds. You might also want to read some of Steve Blank's blog entries - his site is very well organised so it is easy to find his version of events.

Since your question specifically mentions engineering teams, the changes there come after PHBs start issuing Dunning-Kruger Syndrome based edicts. Engineers at first push back and when that fails, the ones who can find new jobs leave in droves. Eventually the best engineers are gone and only the less talented ones (generally more junior due to lack of of experience) remain which in turn leads to a dual problem of them not knowing enough to push back and implementing solutions poorly partly due to lack of ability and also partly due to lack of motivation to do the right thing. While that is going on, the managers get increasingly antsy and demanding, issuing ever more bad decisions. It really becomes a downward death spiral.

As an aside, I worked with DEC and watched (from the side-lines) as it was acquired by Compaq and then the merger with HP. The management incompetence was unbelievable and the technical teams' morale sank like a lead balloon.

If there are institutional barriers to identity groups participating in scientific communities then there is a need for “identity politics” in those scientific communities to identify and remove the barriers.
