It's unfortunate that you are downvoted without any responses. I read this article about the Women's March just today: https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/276694/is... . Certainly many of the people I know (having grown up in a fairly Jewish community) attended the Women's March without understanding the views of their leadership.
that was satire to show what you can do for just 5 bucks but he apologized for it

whats wrong with the quillette and ben shapiro? arent you showing your bias here?
I definitely agree with you, this feels like REAL progress. I feel like this is a revolution in our understanding of how life as a collection of cells is able to function with such repeat ability and reliability. What is even more amazing is how this talk isn't even just going over our lack of understanding in this area, its saying hey everyone we just filled in this massive gap in our understanding, and look at what real things we can do with it.

It does feel like this research crosses a big line in science. Especially with the recent articles about how gene editing can cause weird defects that we don't understand, this shows we don't need to tinker at the lower levels when life already has the tools for higher level control.

>This results in labels everywhere with no indication as to level of risk. These labels are completely unhelpful and only train consumers to ignore warnings about carcinogens.

Yes again one of the arguments from the cigarette industry.

Again in a free country the people are free to organize things as they see fit. And from a practical perspective I think you can understand why cigarettes have a more general warning rather than lists some measurement of all the know carcinogens which isn’t going to mean anything to your average consumer.

But again you are moving the goal posts because you’re now saying the labels are good, but they can be improved. That’s different than earlier positions of mandatory labels are authoritarian. but honestly listing measurements of carcinogens and expecting consumers to have an inherient understanding of those levels vis a vis scientific studies is ridiculous.

And to say gmo labels are a scare tactic that comes at a disadvantage to the environment is misinformed. Gmo based big ag is terrrible for farm land, and has already resulted in new mutations in weeds and pests that no longer respond to traditional pesticides and weed killers and are recking crops, not to mention damage to soil because gmo farms over utilize pesticides and weed killer chemicals compared to say organic farms or farms that do proper crop rotations.

Not sure how you can even say gmo labeling misleads consumers, since there are no studies on that and it’s never been done. All I know about it is consumers want it and lobbiests are blocking it on behalf of the gmo industry.
Values aren't only the good - you want them to be only the good. It's like asking to judge the character of a person by only the good they do, not the bad
This is absolutely on topic because it’s exactly how the problem proliferates. In isolation it can be corrected but as soon as we build and industry on it and it becomes part of the economy...well... It may be cartoonish with sugar and diabetes but not so much when our entire species is at stake.

I don't think values means that at all. Some of the most evil people in history had values too, but they were considered awful by others. Many times in history their values from their perspective were noble, yet to others they were murdering people for their thoughts or speech.
> I really, really wish Youtube had competition.

It would change absolutely nothing. This is NOT a platform issue, and any other platform would face the exact same problem (needing a content ID, making mistakes like this).
Those are all in China. Wikipedia tells me that max achievable speed in regular service in every country except China is 320km/h. China does 350km/h, but you need to be traveling at quite a long distance for a measly 30km/h increase in speed to be worth it, and China runs much longer high speed rail services than other countries (Beijing to Hong Kong is 9 hours).

Besides, the more important thing is average speed. Acela's top speed is respectable for legacy rail, but it achieves this top speed for a total of 33 miles over a 457 mile route.
I think I misunderstood your position earlier. My experience with academic codes seems to differ significantly from yours. It is not uncommon at all for scientific software to have no documentation at all in my experience, and very little if anything in terms of tests. I agree with you that it does not make sense to have detailed documentation and tests for all parts of scientific software. One must prioritize. What I'm arguing against is the (often implicit) attitude that documentation, testing, and other good software engineering practices are not necessary in science at all. I see now that you agree, and it's more of a question of the amount of software engineering practices which are optimal. I appear to prefer more than you do, but you clearly see the value of these practices. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It is interesting to see so many tech firms going well out of their way to hire competent engineers/scientists from China, even the ones who graduate from US universities.

Of course it's difficult to talk about the real issues associated with this, such as how China leverages family relations in China against expats abroad, or how they've made it a national priority to entice this sort of behavior.

The reason it's difficult is because it's on the borderline of dog-whistle racism and what not. But these are serious issues that should be examined.
Dying a preventable death is kind of embarrassing for the family and the deceased. Especially if it was caused by improper use of something worthy of a Darwin award.
I understand the perception thing. But your original comment said nothing about perception, and presented it as a truth about the person and their comments (one that would be true independent of anybody else's perceptions of it).

So, to clarify, you're saying these perceptions aren't necessarily true? If so, I'd suggest that your original comment comes across as saying something very different.
Do you use std::vector when working with SIMD? I find the SIMD alignment requirements make it difficult to integrate intrinsics with the rest of my code. Maybe I'm just missing something, but I'm having a hard time with it.
Yes, I think the "bubble" explanation is actually too simple. It's clear that the American people disagree with the powerful bureaucrats who control Washington on various policies. I see Trump's election at least partially as a repudiation of the status quo on a variety of policies which Washington has been busily ignoring for decades.
> ...I don't think it's always true...

I will have to re-evaluate my thinking on this.

My knee-jerk response is to say this is wrong. I have seen too many cases where people report initial results on some elaborate model as if they explain more aspects of the data, but then the results fail to generalize, and the theory, model or implementation turns out to be flawed or fragile. It gets a publication, but the state of the art does not advance.

But I notice that some younger investigators I have worked with tend to be more careful, with things like releasing code/data openly, being serious about code/model reuse, doing more careful verification/validation, being more rigorous about test/training data. It seems to be a spectrum of better research practices rather than one thing, like “better software engineering“.

Such a more principled approach should prove itself over time, because Nature cannot be fooled.
One of the first forms new patients sign at a hospital or private practice is a form releasing allowing their healthcare provider to request the patient's medical records from their other providers. Once that is filed, Epic provides a HIPPA compliant system to get those medical records from other linked databases.
> I recently got an email

"an email". You're lucky.

I got a couple of videos with Creative Commons music. I also contacted the original author and copyright holder about this. Apparently CDBaby just took his songs and files copyright claims on all YouTube videos with his music. He's a poor guy from Australia and has no resources to go against them. So, now, every time I get a copyright claim, I have to challenge it. After giving the evidence, they just let me have it, wait a couple of weeks and submit the same claim again.

What's funny is that if you go to that album's page on CD Baby, you can see that the Creative Commons license and original author's name and copyright are right there next to the option to listen to the songs.

After numerous claims, I finally gave up and just removed the audio track on all the videos myself.

If you read the thing carefully, YouTube doesn't even review the case. Whatever you write there goes directly to people claiming to be the "copyright holder".

YouTube should really have an option "The claimant doesn't have copyright on this material". If you give enough evidence, and if they release the claim on video after that was checked, the claimant should lose the right to claim copyright on that audio match for all videos.
I share your general concern, but would like to point out that this particular example couldn’t happen in human genetics for a variety of reasons (we are less consanguineous, practice assortative mating, get extensive medical care including fertility treatments).

A bigger issue would be one particular implementation of genetic testing taking off in a group of humans who might otherwise be expected to produce offspring together. Perhaps - community of wealthy families all ordering the same IQ boosting agent may find that their grandchildren all share some unusual, genetically recessive ailment.
Every minute "over 400 hours" of content is uploaded to YouTube. It's a serious challenge to moderate a community at that scale.

This extends far beyond just the copyright claims. There is all sort of objectionable content being uploaded that needs to be removed, and it's easy to find literal neo-Nazi propaganda in the YouTube comments, as well as all sorts of racial slurs. Reporting this seems to have little effect in my experience.

I don't have any good answers to this problem, but it's frustrating that YouTube is so opaque in their process. I have no idea what happened to my reports of neo-Nazi content for example (it wasn't removed) and also no notification that it was reviewed but denied. I hold little love for Facebook, but in my experience their process is a lot better.
It's common for teachers and many positions in higher education.
Also worth noting: where Europe designed their rail system to reduce fatalities by improving control of trains on the track, the US chose to make trains tougher to withstand the completely avoidable accidents.

As a result no European train can run on US rails (technical compatibility aside) because trains like HSV are lightweight and do not meet US design rules.
All benefits for lower income people are subsidies for low wage employers. A tax credit has the benefit of being particularly efficient and with a minimum of bureaucracy, as compared with the typical highly distorting programs like housing or mortgage interest subsides, federally-backed student loans or health insurance subsidies that inflate rents and housing/education/healthcare costs.
Monty Python went on British national television in front of impressionable children dressed as Nazis, making their salutes, and quipping their slogans. Were they actually Nazis?

I'm Jewish and I'm open to criticizing decisions and behavior that make light of anti-Semitism, but classifying someone as a racist, Nazi, or white supremacist should have a higher standard.

The media has incentive to report controversy.

Certain other nations have incentive and experience with sowing controversy and conflict.

There’s probably more incentive structures involved, but those two + a small native group of alarmists seem sufficient to support current levels of perceived alarmism.
Yes, that sort of local. I'm not talking about kilometers, or even a whole airport. Something like 100m³ should be achievable without too much trouble.

That sounds lovely. Fully functional pattern matching in Java would be a godsend.
It's certainly possible, but another thing you can often do is just not depend on slow computations during interactive development. This is how I usually work on code in Python: with https://github.com/darius/halp I have repl-like examples in my source code, and Emacs reruns them all at a keystroke and tells you if any output changed; mostly it's no trouble to keep helpful examples that can all be rerun in a small fraction of a second.

IPython is fancier and can be used with expensive computations, so this might be a dead end, but I didn't want to have to think about whether the state of the examples was ever out of sync with a fresh reexecution of the code (and also I wrote this a long time ago). I thought I might get to cleverer incremental update methods eventually, but it hasn't been worth the trouble to try when the above workflow has worked well enough.
"Musk" was not mentioned or even alluded to in the piece, so maybe it's not a good idea to try to shoehorn the man into every situation.

Also, wrt both Boring Company and Hyperloop, "fantasy" is exactly the word to describe them. Outlandish projects, with a lot of buzz and PR but no sense or reason and many real problems, some fatal.
You just turn on auditing features in Windows on your file servers. There are many third party tools that can help you sift through and retain logs, but the basics can all be done with vanilla windows os.
warning: This is not short.
Allowing automated copyrighting with zero oversight is definitely a platform issue. Youtube has an overabundance of content and can't control it all, that's clear. But when they have zero actual competition they have no reason to NOT be the bad guy. You're still going to go to Youtube, right? I can't shift to tcdtube. My content creators aren't there.
Programming is generally considered more challenging than most professions, and it has a transformative potential that must other fields don't. It's okay to recognize that, whilst also not having an over-inflated view of yourself or elitist stance.

We're also entering a new era of the difference between cutting-edge or transformative engineers, and (the still respectable, but more normal) standard dev.

I do some pretty basic science based engineering. It's not special, it just helps some business people in my firm. But the deepmind guys are special, and there really isn't anything like it right now in other fields. The potential seems unbounded right now, that's really exciting!
>arent you showing your bias here?

You're saying that as if a post unopposed is neutral, and opposition is "taking a side" and therefore showing bias. It's not. There is no neutral here. The article poster has taken a side and the moderation team has too, even if it's just a slight pro.

I can say a lot about Shapiro, few things good. But I've been told to keep away from this sort of flame war and I'm convinced if you're willing to change your mind you can seek out the information I'd provide easily on your own.

Yes, but most of the people pay payroll tax, which is non-trivial.
It seems that the whole "copyright claim" system is just a distraction. We are all getting distracted instead of looking at the bigger picture: while we are fighting, Google earns money no matter what.

I recently noticed my own work being sold on Etsy by thieves. Guess what, Etsy doesn't even want to hear from you about copyright problems. There is no way to report it (try it).

I hope eventually people will start suing and things will end up in courts. I don't think courts will look kindly on profiteering from stolen property.
Ha, Fergus Falls. Driven through there many a time. Don't know if I've ever stopped... too close to Fargo/Moorhead on the drive up/back.

This whole article reads like that guy from the fifth season of The Wire.
It's not a competitor until it has the content to compete for my business. I don't consider Blockbuster a competitor to Netflix. I don't consider the ice cream man in his van a competitor to Ben & Jerrys. I might randomly buy something but I'm reliably spending money at the main source.

I've heard that line of reasoning before, and it doesn't make sense to me.

Specifically, I find it alarming that it assumes two tiers of competent c++ developers: a lower tier that just uses libraries, and a higher tier that can write good libraries.

I see two problems with this view.

First, in my experience most large codebases are structured as many layes of libraries. So the envisioned non-library developer may be in the minority.

Second, it's a red flag that the language's complexity dangerously high. If nothing else, one of the envisioned non-library developers may unwittingly write code that uses or misuses these features, and still need to debug incomprehensible compilation- or runtime-errors.
Or, to paraphrase the tweet you're citing more accurately, they wrote it "as fiction".
I have to mention that having seen the software used that the UI is awful. Perhaps this is mandated by the hospital customers or made difficult by HIPAA.

However, when the database for patient records of two Epic systems in the center of silicon valley do not interoperate that is just embarrassing. When the designated procedure for a patient transfering to a hospital is, "print out the entire record, fax it to the hospital, hand re-enter all data, shred both copies of patient data" that is asking for horrible transcription errors and missing data. Sorry, no donut.
There are other platforms, like Vimeo or Dailymotion, why aren't people uploading there? Because there's no audience and Youtube is so widely integrated (iOS, Android, Smart TVs etc).

But if another platform got to Youtube's size, it would have the exact same issues, with having a fragile automated system, and not enough human reviewers (too much content, humans are expensive and error prone).

There's no ideal or perfect system for monitoring audio/visual data, look at Reddit for example, I can ban you because I am bored, or I dislike you, or because I want to censor you.

What can you do about it? Nothing. Who cares? Nobody, Reddit carries on as usual.

r/videos mods can control which Youtubers get traffic, ironically enough. They can automod channels/posters away 'just for the lolz'.
OK, but the concept is historically nonsensical - antisemitism was a large part of early and medieval Christianity - and the term itself didn't come into use until the 40s.

Am having a hard time seeing how the idea that morality can't be maintained without religion connects to "free speech, free association [and] due process".
Like most creators I know, I've heard of ko-fi. I don't have an account there. I haven't felt it fits my working methods. They don't have a page to take money in my name, either.

I've heard of GoFundMe and don't have an account there, either. Now that they seem to be quite happy to take money from people making comics designed to "stick it to the libs" I kinda don't want to have an account there. They don't have a page in my name either.

"I don't want to do business with you, and I don't want to have an account so I can opt out of doing business with you" is, I feel, a valid attitude. Is anyone who hears about Facebook's "shadow profiles" happy to know that Facebook is tracking them despite them not using that site?

"Having a human find a contact method for a creator" is an option. It does not scale but how many times do I see people writing stuff here on HN that advises doing stuff that doesn't scale until you know it's worth automating it? If Brave wants their model to work they need to put the time into this kind of stuff. Hell, have the user who wants to pay a creator via Brave do it: "Hi! We don't have any contact information for this creator yet, and our automated methods can't find anything. Would you tell us how to contact this person?" And then not take money in the creator's name until they actually say yes.
I knew little about this topic until I just happen to catch Pewdiepie on a podcast.

He spoke at length about the recent Swedish elections, how his mother cried when the Swedish Democrats (the new right-wing) party won, how he thinks young people can be more racist than old people today, went on to defend immigrants, the old Swedish values of being an open society etc.

He sounded like the complete opposite of what the media in these stories are portraying him to be
There's no such thing as "judeo-christian". The Talmud is antithetical to Christianity. The term is nothing more than a trick played on churches in the last century to co-opt them.
