You're right but it's also much more nuanced than you're making it out to be. Let me start by saying I don't like confederate statues or flags, because, well, they were objectively fighting to preserve slavery -- that's what the whole war was about -- and celebrating that isn't something I think we should do. The problem is it's personal for so many people who had family on the wrong side of history. Nobody wants to feel ashamed of their ancestors and this creates a difficult animosity and almost serves to re-create the hatreds that started the war in the first place. The pain of removing statues is that the people on the wrong side of the war would have to admit their ancestors were bad people, and ask themselves the difficult questions of what that means about them. There's a reason Truth and Reconciliation Commissions are used after atrocities: you can either have blame, or have truth, but not both. Truth is more important if you want something not to happen again. That's hard, of course. [0]

Regarding slavery in the US, yeah, prison farms are slavery. The constitution permits slavery explicitly as a punishment for crimes. That's not something I agree with either but that's just straight-up facts. When you use prison labor for private company benefit that's beyond the pail and the US gets criticism for this behavior regularly from the UN ILO. There's no better way to undercut the wages of hard-working Americans than forcing people to work for free. [1]

Where you run off the rails the the idea that people want slavery back. Nobody wants that. The establishment has much more nuanced and effective ways of keeping themselves well-off. IMO they've probably always been after the ends, not the means.

English is not my first language. I have never heard the term "Graft", even if I consider myself quite literate in English. So here you go, for everybody else in my situation:

Graft, as understood in American English, is a form of political corruption, being the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain.

Edit: by the way, I really couldn't fit the term with the article. And realized I was probably looking at the wrong definition. This one might be much more apt:

a shoot or twig inserted into a slit on the trunk or stem of a living plant, from which it receives sap.
It is good for a nation to explore it's past no matter what might turn up.

It's far worse to uncritically examine our ancestors behaviour.
It's a response to not provoking an assault in my experience. Most Commonwealth countries are like this in the anecdotes I've witnessed, where brawling is common and laws lax on manslaughter. If you don't say anything you will find yourself getting beat up in broad daylight whereas other countries you can be as rude as you want without physical repercussions. Try walking into some guy in Winnipeg and brush his response off it's a provocation you want to fight where in other cultures this would be absurd.

Cato's famous phrase, "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam", is feared for its grammar, but it is quite expressive and not really that hard. It is a combination of two constructions: ACI, Accusativus cum infinitivo, which also exists in English, sort of: I see he swims or I see him swimming (in Latin it would be "I see him to swim") = I see that he swims. The other thing is the gerundive, which expresses an obligation. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't - same thing as English "This is to be done" meaning "This ought to be done".

Now, in Latin, the ACI construction can be done with many verbs, not only "to see" ("I see him swimming") but also with "censeo", or "I opine, think" ("I opine him swimming" - I think he swims.) Next, throw in a cool "Ceterum" = by the way, and combine this with the obligation of the gerundive, and we get:

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam =

"By the way, I think that Carthago is to be eliminated."

Why is it abuse if I use my PTO? The whole point of PTO is that the company is agreeing to give you 10 days worth of slack. So obviously it shouldn't be a problem if you use that 10 days of slack.

Well, I'm an engineering manager and there's a little more to then someone just taking 10 sick days per year. I see when my direct reports are run down or if they're fighting something, versus if they're always "sick" on Monday morning. I known when they stay home because they don't want to get everyone else sick but they are still in contact; that's different from when they call in sick, I hear nothing all day and then they're fine the next day and back at work. I keep a tally of when someone who's never sick is really down for an entire week vs. those who consistently get "food poisoning". The whole reason I have a job is because we're a tight-knit team that works closely and there's no room to bullshit. It would be like faking out your parents when you're a kid; you could get away with it for a day or two but I'm going to be able to tell when you just want to stay home to play video games.

I don't think this makes me passive-aggressive or a shitty manager; we're a tight team that cares about each other and as a result we know when people are treating each other with respect and honesty. I give people a lot of leeway and ask them not to wreck it for everyone. If someone threatens this it makes me both mad and sad, because once it's gone we'll never get it back.

bfloat16 is "best" primarily because it has the same exponent range as float32. That makes it easy to port models that have been developed using float32 to bfloat16. (As opposed to using int8 or float16, both of which have a smaller exponent range.)

It's possible that some other custom format is better in absolute terms for models trained specifically for the custom format. But for the current ecosystem, where models are trained primarily using float32, bfloat16 is a very good choice.
That definition definitely does not apply to this usage. You are looking for "to join (one thing) to another as if by grafting, so as to bring about a close union." (etymology 1, verb, definition 4 on Wiktionary [1]).

insert or fix (something) permanently to something else, typically in a way considered inappropriate.

This is the definition they most likely meant.
Why "graft"? It's not something that's foreign to them. This promises to essentially double the performance of Intel chips on an increasingly important workload, and also simplify the modeling work, because the models don't experience any accuracy drop when simply converted to bfloat16, unlike with quantization, where it's model dependent and finicky AF. I'd much rather do fp16 or bfloat16 at inference time, without constant pain that is quantization. I hope ARM, AMD and RISCV pay attention and implement this in the exact same way, so that models could be portable.
however taking exactly one sick day a month sure looks suspicious

Innocent people are not being dragged out of their homes and thrown into camps for their political beliefs or nationality.

Illegal immigrants seeking asylum are willingly coming here and are provided with shelter, provisions and aid while their cases are processed. They have to stay somewhere, but since their specific crime is that they cannot be in the country legally, they are detained in government facilities.

They are also free to leave at any time if they choose to no longer pursue their asylum claim. There is also legal entry (like obtaining a visa) which does not incur detainment.

Tips to Improve Google Ads Performance Using Google Analytics
I feel a large part of HN are single people with no kids so you are not going to find anything good or insightful when it comes to parenting.

There are two main schools of thought on the issue you mentioned - 1 let them learn early / no major electronics filter (I grew up watching tv I am fine crowd)

- 2 let’s not let them have stuff they don’t understand.( I personally fall in this crowd)

I think both options have their pros and cons. Given “right” and “wrong” as a measure is always relative, you need to consider the if your actions ultimately help them or hurt them in the long term goals which generally for parents is to raise kids that are responsible and self sufficient and take care of themselves in a unknown future. Once you (and your spouse) have a agreed “North Star” it’s easier to set the rules, enforce them and lead by example.

Edited to add below answer

-Do you limit screentime writ large with an overall limit?
No “limit”. The rule is as little as possible.

- Do you set limits on the kind of screentime they get?
Yes- when we do show it’s either selected cartoons or nature or nova documentaries. The latter two is not a deliberate thing but mostly because I like to watch them they like to see it too. No Disney. Hate it with a passion. Their message is overwhelmingly emotional and romantic. In general I stay away from “movies” type things where there is a larger plot

- What protocol do you follow (X hrs per day, have to ask first, but are typically no more than) have to ask is the baseline. Also they don’t know how to operate the tv(yet). Typically if it’s been more than one hour of their cartoons in a day they are done. I might allow them to watch documentary or half if I am watching it.

- What do you do if they truly want to do something educational/positive with screentime but have hit their limits? Not have encountered this scenario but if I did I would not give them their screen time and have them understand that this time they used up their “credits” but next time they can plan for it. Just like how the real world works.
Can you record the actual machine protocol? Then use that recorded data in regression/integration future tests.
Where does revisionism enter? The Romans were probably correct that they had to destroy, or be destroyed by the Carthagens. Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator defeated Hannibal, and who knows what would have happened otherwise.

Of course, history is written by the victors. But what is the connection to today's narratives? In particular, a narrative today bearing resemblance to the past does not mean that it's wrong.

I agree to a degree.

I like the approach of Arch. I do a clean install, add the applications that I want, and leave virtually all of the settings at their defaults. In one respect it is a highly customized system since the installed software is tailored to my needs. On the other hand, I am not spending time tweaking settings.

When I use systems where the vendor installs a lot of software by default (it doesn't matter whether it's another Linux distribution or Windows), I am easily annoyed by how much stuff gets in my way visually or in terms of performances. That leaves me with an intense desire to debloat. I try to resist the urge, but am usually unsuccessful.

Are you seeing a blueprint start to emerge for a standardized way to build and deploy search indices in the context of applications that need vector-space features? (E.g. if you start with ANNOY, you get kNN but then how do you add in the ability to refine, filter, rescore, sort with text, etc?)
`nix-env` can be coerced into pinning a package at a specific revision, effectively ignoring channel updates. However, yes, I do all of my nixos package management in my system configuration and try to avoid `nix-env` at all costs as it leads to drift. However, in at least one case, this is largely un-avoidable (in the case of OBS Plugins, there's no NixOS infra to make sure that 'wlrobs' is available at a well-known spot for OBS to pick-up. We'd need to make a plugin-aware wrapper, or `programs.obs` module probably. This is because nix-env does some additional symlinking that isn't done for system-installed packages).

Yeah, people tend to completely exaggerate the impact of throttling from AVX512. It's only an issue when you do short bursts of AVX512 and the rest is not AVX512. If you do math and your math can be done in AVX512, even with throttling it's going to be substantially faster. That it runs hotter doesn't concern me at all. Intel's claimed safe Tjunction is something like 105C. EEs tend to take the published component specifications seriously (e.g. your 1000v diode is guaranteed to withstand at least 1KV of reverse voltage), so I trust Intel when they say things are fine up to that temperature. Even beyond that it won't burn out, it'll just thermal throttle.
> Linux lacks a lot of core abstraction properties

No, it's worse than that: It has too many of them, leading to a mess of special cases that you have to deal with. What happens when you have a socket in your file system, and you export it over NFS?

Lacking abstraction properties is fixable -- you can add them. But removing them, especially if they're widely used, is incredibly hard.

XOC provides multi-level IR, it can express and model a program at very high level semantic, whereas gcc/llvm could not. With our experience, keeping all well-tuned transformation and optimization on same IR expression(multi-level) are very important. XOC used to be JavaVM AOT IR, C/C++ compiler IR, JavaScriptVM AOT IR, and it was doing very well. In some new project, XOC even could be used as Deep Learning compiler IR. So XOC is very scalable. In my opinion, perhaps the most interesting feature is its memory description that runs through the framework.
TLDR: It's basically the faux-classicist version of banging on the table.
I read this article as saying, "hey we can emulate bfloat16 pretty well in software on top of our existing hardware features". That's what "graft" and "minimal impact" mean to me.

Intel (for better or worse) takes a very experiment-results-driven approach to choosing which features to implement in hardware. So this result -- that software emulation of a feature works almost as well as a hardware implementation would -- probably makes Intel less likely to implement the feature in hardware.

ARM, AMD, RISCV etc, will probably come to similar conclusions.
> My understanding is that none of D-wave's systems for instance are anywhere close to implementing Shor, and I treat that as my "are we there yet" test.

Do you care about the algorithm, or the result? Currently we can factor 11-bit semiprimes fairly reliably, and our hardware is capable of running 16-bit problems. But no, it's not Shor's algorithm. It's conceptually much simpler: implement a multiplication circuit, clamp the output, anneal to find the inputs. Despite not being Shor's algorithm, we've yet to see a competitor demonstrate anything close on the factoring problem.

There's a strange thing in quantum computing happening right now. Certain people believe that there's only one kind of quantum computing, because it's got a provable speedup under yet-unobtainable assumptions. Adiabatic quantum computing, under a similarly unobtainable set of assumptions, can run the same algorithms, polynomially equivalent in time and space. But gate-model gets all the hype.

And speaking of hype, 2017 just called. https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/google-plans-to...
Well, I agree with the other responses that the manager is being passive aggressive by just handling it at raise time. But professional adults don't behave unethically at work. (A lot of adults in positions labelled as professional do, however. I'd call them unprofessionals rather than professionals.)

People need explicit negative feedback sometimes, and if bad faith is proven and not reversed quickly, the termination process should start. The doctor's notes are for the category of people that behave unethically regardless of age, and when the latter is suspected, the former can be temporarily appropriate given good reason for suspicion and after trying the direct approach of discussing the problem. I'm a manager and have never requested a doctor's note. I hope never to have to.

If I were this manager's manager, I'd have two people whose performance and attitude I'd need to correct, not one.

Anyway, my preferred rule is unlimited paid sick days, even when vacation days are limited. And yes, I've worked at places that use that rule. Just like you don't get to choose when you get sick, you don't get to choose how severely you get sick when you get sick.

As others have said, a long sickness should not all be at the expense of the employer. But plenty of places have mandatory disability insurance paid for by payroll deductions and employer contributions, including New York and Canada to name two examples I'm aware of.
