The article explains the rationale. If I was one of the students who played by the rules, and found out that somebody sitting next to me in class got a pass, I'd be upset. And, now, who's to say that somebody won't question every Stanford grad whether they really qualified? It tarnishes the brand that these students bought in to.
Hindus care about the actions and their effects rather than details such as the equipment used, the date it happened , place etc. The details may be important to "prove" something, but it doesn't really help the "listener" in any meaningful way. Hindus mostly care about how it helps the listener, what is that it must be learned from that experience. This is one of the reason why newer ideas don't replace older ideas for Hindus. As long as the old knowledge is meaningful and adds value, it will be in use. If the newer knowledge or idea, adds value it will be added with the old useful one. That's all. Hindus follow a simple and pragmatic system.

In this case I mean it as 'active' vs 'passive'.

There is the implication in the article that Boeing purposefully went and stole springs that could be used to diagnose an issue that they were fully aware of. That I would describe as 'active' and I have trouble believing.

Didn't put credence, time and effort into reports because they were inconvenient I would describe as 'passive'.

Passive is still bad - likely results in the same number of people dying, but a different interpretation of the situation.

How I Became a Programmer
I imagine that Boeing engineers are decent people who want to be able to look at themselves in the mirror and be able to sleep at night. So I find it hard to believe in an active conspiracy, but the propensity for groupthink and self-delusion seems extraordinarily high.
I doubt anyone with the least bit of interest in this story would consider Boeing "[a] little US company".
I do not wish to diminish how serious any tampering with the evidence would have been, or of Boeing's more general attitude of dismissing signs that there was a problem with the equipment, but it is not entirely clear from the article that someone from Boeing removed the Colorado Springs PCU spring and end cap. The article says the item had apparently been in the possession of United Airlines and valve designer/manufacturer Parker Bertea before their absence was noticed. The unit is also described as having been heavily damaged in the crash, to the point where several other parts had to be replaced before it was tested.
White man bad!

I think the sickness is in our own very recent culture's push to deface historic European culture, and rationalize all sorts of interpretations of evilness by, ironically, dehumanizing Europeans, as you're doing here.
Marxism is the idea you have the right to use violence against innocents to better your world. Capitalism is simple freedom. Attacking your own society is the basis, exactly like all the dictators did. Words like "improving" are weasel words, completely subjective. Their idea of improving a society is exactly what I would do to destroy one.
The way the language model is trained is by rewarding it for correctly predicting the next word in a sequence.

The output of the model is a predicted probability distribution of the next word and a “state” — the next iteration takes the state output of the previous interation and generates another word and state (and this process repeats many times).

Since there’s a probabilistic dimension, what may have happened in this case is that it happened to repeat once by chance and the model had learned that if something repeats 2x it’s likely that it will repeat a third, fourth, and fifth time.

Basically it’s just trying to game the loss function which rewarded it for predicting the next word in the sequence correctly.

I had never used Gmail until a few month ago when I switched jobs and my current company uses GSuites.

The Gmail UI is horrible, the amount of confusion it creates and how illogical it does collapse and order things amazes me. Why not just show me the content as it is and let me figure out how to handle it?
My tools are tailored to me closely. Anyway, typing the code out is such a small part of coding.
The article even discusses this and I thing you're being unsympathetic.

It says a lot of people don't have the skills to figure out how to click through a multi-layer sequence (I never thought of that as a "skill" but I can see how it really might be one). Also as you said yourself Google doesn't always follow through on random comments. And in the end the root problem wasn't Google at all!

Plus it wasn't clear to the people if the city had been involved in changing the name? (Answer: not really).

I have to disagree with you. If you're sending a message to somebody, no matter what the medium, it's the right thing to do to give them a way to respond. Emails are a two-party transaction, not a facility for unidirectional spam.
Think we have to be a bit more precise here. ArangoDB supports documents, key/value, and graph. It is not really optimized for large timeseries use cases which might need windowing or other features. Influx or Timescale might provide better characteristics here. However, for the supported data models we found a way to combine them quite efficiently.

Many search engines access data stored in JSON format. Hence integrating a search engine like ArangoSearch as an additional layer on top of the existing data models is no magic but makes a lot of sense. Allowing to combine models with search is then rather an obvious task for us.
> Should not there be some criminal charges?

This makes me wonder how we'll view space travel generations from now. Will the descendants of companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin face outrage and calls for criminal charges like Boeing is receiving now?

Risk is inherent in fast modes of transportation, and I think it's very easy for us to ignore the underlying complexity of these feats. Great example: regular air travelers I'm sure are use to the preflight safety announcement run by the cabin crew, but when was the last time you (of the royal variety) actually stopped what you were doing, focused on the briefing, and made a mental note of the plane's safety features?

Nonsense.

I’m an actual, working neuroscientist and if we’ve solved any of these things, it would be news to me (and everyone else at my institute). We have good, if coarse, knowledge of which structures are critical for which functions—-at least under some conditions. Our knowledge of how they do this is even cruder: neither the representations nor the algorithms are known with much certainty, let alone how they arise.

Let me give you a very concrete example of where we are. There’s a small nemode called C. elegans. It’s about a millimeter long and has 302 neurons. We know its complete wiring diagram, its genome, and the origin and fate of every cell (not just the neurons) in its tiny, simple body. Its behavior has been studied extensively. And yet...we can’t accurately simulate the damn thing—-and it’s not like it does a lot to begin with.

The human brain has about 86B neurons, and we know an awful lot less about them. Neither vision nor speech is remotely close to “solved” or understood. Consciousness, even in the very limited sense of “why do we fall asleep—-or need to?” is a mote off in the distance.

No, this is not the right way to look at it. How will you feel when a purported safe drug ends up killing or maiming many? Oh, they could've stopped buying thalidomide?

Shouldn't the management of a burger joint that caused deaths due to food poisoning be punished, just because there's a McDonald's nearby?

There is a breach of trust involved in these cases, where the potential fallout is death. That is very serious.

What standing could these students possibly have? They didn't get in to all the colleges they wanted to because the admissions process wasn't "fair"? It never was fair nor does any admissions office I've ever heard of claim to be.

>The other option is basically using a GUI interface for git.

Unless you don't use a GUI for browsing your file system, you really can't dismiss the GUI that comes with Git. It's easy to use the history browser to check out code from certain dates. And it even simplifies tagging commits so you can check out "release 3" instead of referring to a list of release dates.

>who convinced themselves of African inferiority for the purpose of justifying their theft, rape, and murder of those people

The Africans they encountered had virtually no technology and no government, and looked like different creatures. It wasn't something that required rationalization. There's far less malice in this than you'd like to see.

As far as I am aware, there is no credible evidence that Egyptians strongly represented south African phenotypes or had the same shade of skin. It is a modern internet meme. Lay off the propaganda.
Given that some of the bad actors worked for the universities, specifically athletic staff taking bribes, I think it’s not crazy to sue them.
And on top of that, if GP didn't post this comment, then it might still be the prevailing sentiment in the comment threads. This is a case where making the observation that something is the prevailing sentiment can change what that prevailing sentiment is.

I don't know if this is true in this case, but I've seen it happen in the past. In some ways what you'd really like is a feature to go "back in time" in the comment thread and see how it developed, otherwise it can be difficult to appreciate coming in later.
Why companies want to mine the secrets in your voice
One of the questions I ask during interviews is to tell me a story about how you failed or broke something in production. 90% of the time anyone who says they never failed or never broke anything is either lying or doesn't have enough experience. People who tried hard at a startup that failed usually have the most interesting stories, have learned tons, and are better equipped to hit the ground running at a new place.

It all depends on YOUR attitude and less about the employers that will hire you. If you interview with middle management, it may be hard for you to show your worth but if you interview with anybody who is an "owner" (stakeholder in the company), you will most likely be hired right away.

Owners know it is very hard to find people that can "think like an owner" and make decisions based on the company's interest vs their own. Obviously, you have to "fit in" for a while (being the new guy and earn the respect of your peers) but I would say that if you can "think like an owner", you would be put into a lot of responsibility fairly quickly. Thinking like an owner means NO POLITICS (you are not trying to move up the ladder), NO EXCUSES (get stuff done and ship it) and WORKING ON THE RIGHT THINGS (able to prioritize properly the pile of work). Unfortunately, you have to play those games for a couple of months (and eat a lot of pride in terms of job title and pay just to get in the door) but it will all work out shortly.

The argument in this article doesn't really make any sense. It hinges on the idea that somehow Amazon is shifting fulfillment costs onto suppliers by discouraging them from using Amazon's fulfillment services (FBA) in favor of doing fulfillment in-house (FBM). But what is conspicuously omitted is that Amazon charges for fulfillment. And they cost about the same as other fulfillment providers. They offer some competitive advantages that you would expect given their tremendous scale, but they are basically on-par with other providers. Which totally undermines the thesis of this article, since Amazon isn't losing money on their fulfillment business. Sure, fulfillment isn't a high margin business or anything, but Amazon has shown lots of willingness to get into low-margin business that require operational excellence (like package delivery). And having such an excellent fulfillment offering is a major competitive advantage, because it makes it a lot easier for sellers to get started on Amazon's platform.

"Steal"? You gave them a license to do so.

Yes, they could use your images in their advertising, or publish a book of your images, or make a movie out of all your messages and videos, or anything else they wanted to do with, as they call it, "Your Content".

Fun side-fact about that particular thing: Not much did happen there because nothing about that was actually illegal. The NSA totally had and still has, the right to spy on Merkel [0].

Exceptions for this kind of surveillance were already lobbied into the German constitution by NSA surveillance interests decades ago [1]. Couldn't have German constitutional rights be in the way of winning the intelligence Cold War.

The German BND gladly goes along with it all of this, as their origin traces right back to the CIA [1].

I always quote this, but only because it’s always applicable:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” - Upton Sinclair

People tend to understand this as saying that people will fight you and feign ignorance. I think it should be taken more literally: a person’s financial position affects their reasoning, and it is literally difficult for them to understand something that will harm them. Not impossible by any means, but when there’s a financial incentive not to understand, it’s far more likely that people just won’t get it.
Thanks for the explanation. Your description superficially reminds me of a Markov chain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain). Is this related or is it totally different?

Maybe the universities should have some system in place to catch this behavior.

You can't be in the industry for that many years and be surprised by it's dark side. The colleges knew about it and looked the other way. There's no two ways about it.

Do you really think they bought the photoshopped pictures and fabricated high school transcripts? Is there no due diligence required on their part to vet their self-declared athletes before admitting them? Everyone else jumps through hoops to provide all the data needed to submit an application. This has been going on for how long and admissions department never once found this scandal before now? Isn't that literally, in every sense, their job? What else does admissions do other than vet potential students?

They are guilty and my guess would be a lawsuit discovers as much. If not they are still responsible for complacency and should be punished.

For abortion bills, at least a moral justification is offered. If you accept that a fetus has human rights and that killing a fetus is akin to murder then these bills somewhat make sense.

This bill on the other hand, doesn't even claim to have a moral justification, other than as a reaction to the abortion bills.

In addition, this type of rhetoric paints the abortion issue as men vs. women, whereas the truth is that men and women have pretty similar views on abortion https://news.gallup.com/poll/235646/men-women-generally-hold...
