A big difference is that that app would double down on a specific gender-based inequality in dating, whereas an app that turns it around, subverts that traditional gender-based inequality. That is less sexist, and might indeed be more effective because of it. It forces women to take a more active role in dating when in traditional society, they're often expected to take a passive role.

So it doesn't confirm the sexism, it addresses and counters it.

If at some point in the future, it becomes expected that men take a passive role while women always take initiative, then your imagined app would be better because it would subvert that sexist expectation. It's all about context.

Ideally of course we should end up somewhere in the middle, where men and women are equal partners in the dating arena.

It's not just sugar. There's the occasional vitamin in there, probably hunkered down in a bunker to hide from all the roving hordes of monosaccharides, like a sort of kindergarten health class film strip version of I Am Legend.

But, as far as its culinary purpose goes, I suspect it ends to end up in processed foods because it's an additive you can use to sweeten the food while still being able to prominently claim "no sugar added" on the front of the box. I think legally you do have to cross your fingers behind your back while you do it, but it's not enforced.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a trick that even works well on people who like to hang out on the internet talking about how fructose is the devil.

There are many reasons why I use open source, but far and away one of the biggest reasons is simply the power it gives you as a user. I know it’s a cliche but if there's a problem you want fixed, you really can go and fix it, and everyone else benefits. Once you have a full community, this becomes extremely powerful.

The thing is, though, I really only work on things in a more selfish manner. For example, I’ve been contributing a bit to a very cool project called Kaitai Struct. But as cool as it is, I’m contributing for myself, on things I personally care about.

If you work at a company and you are bickering with open source maintainers, you’re really missing the point of open source. If it’s costing you money, then it was making you money. Give a tiny bit of effort back, and you benefit yourself and incidentally everyone else too. It’s a win-win, and you won’t get blocked on Twitter. If you/your company genuinely can’t spare the expense of spending a few engineer hours a week on FOSS, but also can’t afford to buy support contracts or pay for commercial software, that really seems like a problem, doesn’t it?

Disclaimer: I probably do not do enough open source work to really speak with authority. If you want to judge for yourself, I am jchv on Github.

I haven't taken any Criminonology classes so I cannot comment on the level of field rigor in even a subset but this resembles a stereotypical case of "non-Mathematics Liberal arts majors who think they were done with math".

There is a sadly significant culturally innumerate population who will look at you with scorn and anger for even daring to bring up numbers even for something straightforward like "does a year of typical catfood or small dog breed dogfood cost more" instead of trying to guess based on concepts like "beef is more expensive than fish" or "crazy cat ladies are willing to pay more". Their reaction seems more ignorance than "caught in a lie bullshit more".

It also sounds like TV news screenshots mocked online for poll percentages which overflow 100%. I have done research and replicated sources in high school. They often took numbers from multiple related sources and questions and miscombined them. "Like they had the unpaid interns who knew how to use a computer source the data" was a trope of an explanation but it may well have been the senior professionals who did so.
So I am a machine learning researcher who moved to a FAANG as a research scientist after graduation. My salary is 10x against the grad student stipend. That does not even account for the free food, the healthcare, and other perks. However, I have not adjusted my lifestyle so it does not feel real.

The thing is, even though having 1000x the resources compared to university, that does not really make me happier about the work specifically. It makes some things easier and other things harder.

No, what I really feel is that at work I am not actually treated like a servant any more but like a person. I don't have to work weekends and nights any more. I can take vacations and won't be flooded with emails every.single.day during holidays. I don't have extra unpaid responsibilities that I have zero recourse against.

The thing that I just cannot stop wondering is, why, knowing the perks of industry, advisers still treated us like this. Even though ostensibly trying to keep us, it felt more like squeezing out as much as they could.
not sure it is about aligning goals,
It seems more like maximizing collaboration in spite of diverging goals, and doing so without compromising upon them.

If your goals, and their goals either conflict or do not intersect, either one or both compromise, or dont -- and can't... In theory neither holds any more power than the other. In practice and politics collaboration as a social activity is subject held beliefs by one or both parties which distort this aspect of equal power.
Taking an indefinite sabbatical from my projects · Fatih Arslan
I wonder how much of his personal information was gleaned from "respectable" American companies like Lexis-Nexis, Equifax, and Transperian? I'm sure they gave everything and medical history for the price of a few coins. I have no respect for companies that don't respect my privacy. And I make it a habit of giving them as much useless, inaccurate information as possible.
I mean, if they ask you... seems fine to me?
I learened not to engage. It only ever once turned out, that the user actually spent quite a bit of time and contributed something as a result of me engaging futher and not just ignoring the e-mail. I guess some people may just be grumpy for whatever reason, and it will bubble up in the conversation.

But I don't usually care for the positive words that much either. I guess it's nice that my sw is helping someone, and whatnot, and great, but it's usually just a preface to some request or issue someone's having, often times solvable by reading the man page, or using --help, or checking if there's a newer version and trying that before bothering the authors.

The only people that stand out are those that just send a thank you without anything else. Quite rare.

What'd probably be more interesting to receive is just a thank you note and some info about what the user is using the sw for. That might as well be inspirational, at the very least, and perhaps an opener for some collaboration. I think I received such a message 2-3x in the last 15 years. Very rare! Maybe people need a bit of probing in the README to send such messages. :D
I think trying to figure that out is the exciting part, and I'd prefer to err on the side of generosity.
'OK' is now a hate symbol, the ADL says
Imagine an industrial robot which welds gratings and its controller. Old. Manufacturer either long gone, or bought by another, and that merged construct merged again with another, ad infinitum. So no support anymore, no spare sparts.
But the thing works O.K. has a comfortable display where you can program it easily in place, and even understands "teach in".

But welding grates is more of a side gig of that company, so they only do batches from time to time.
One day a new, rather large batch is due, but robot doesn't start up at all, and programmer stays dark. It has power but is dead.
What to do? Disassembling the controller/programmer of course. Something super special, running only one "App", written in something esoteric, running on a CPU which was designed to only run that esoteric stuff and nothing else.

And probably a mouse somehow crawled into the case and shat and pissed onto the PCB, and the CPU.
Which is corrosive and dissolves the pins of the CPU und the the copper traces of the PCB, turning them into some sort of gel. But not much area at all, so easy to bridge with wires if it weren't for the dissolved pins of the CPU.
So i removed that part, cleaned it with compressed air, benzine and alcohol and then very slowly and carfully drilled open the edge of the CPU until i could see the bonding wires from die to pin.
Again very carefully soldered wires onto the ones missing pins, bridged that over the broken copper traces on the PCB, hot glued that crazy work, and reassembled it.

Against my expectations it worked! At 10Mhz! For years afterwards.
How the mouse made it into the case wasn't obvious because the largest openings had only the diameter of a pencil, and i can't imagine a mouse fitting through that. But it somehow did.
Anyways, what i wanted to say is that sometimes you can see what's wrong without knowing electronics at all. Same with the capacitor problem other commenters mentioned. They have to have a flat top, any bulging is wrong, especially when the top cracked open and some gooey stuff leaked out. Or from below.

You prefer the latter. Many people prefer ray tracing on. In fact the main complaint online is about the cost of cards, very few people seem to contest that scenes where ray tracing is properly artistically used, have superior aesthetic quality to them and superior realism. (assuming that's what you mean, since you keep using the term "RTX" and it's unclear what you talk about, whether it's ray tracing or DLSS etc.)
it's everywhere, NB-IoT is a sub-standard of whatever the mobile operator is running(3g,4g,LTE,etc), the devices are installed along aside with those radios on the celluar towers, yes they're fully owned by your cell phone providers.

>Medicare costs are roughly 50% higher again per person than the current average US cost per person.

The numbers speak for themselves and it is ridiculous the US spends 100% more for half the people (e.g. Medicare) than Germany spends to cover 2x as many people and their entire country.

That said keep in mind Medicare patients are the most expensive patients in that they have the highest rate of chronic diseases of any other demographic. Its not apples to apples, but more importantly a Universal coverage could probably be extremely effective in preventing untold millions of chronic conditions through preventative care. What happens now is millions of people reach Medicare eligibility who had no coverage before and as a result have all these untreated chronic conditions, and then boom Medicare has to cover the tab when they become eligible. Its such a stupid system, there are even cases of heart surgery's and cancer treatments that are delayed until a patient hits medicare age, making the issue worse and more expensive to treat.

It may sound like I am taking a devils advocate position, but I 100% agree with you on governmental waste.

I never said it is harming men. I just said that the rules are gender-based. What made you think that?

I find it an interesting thought exercise to understand why society apply rules differently in certain situations. Context certainly plays an important role here and I feel like you made a good point around harm.

EDIT I feel like sometimes this is a sensitive topic to discuss broadly within Western society. From my end, I want to break things down to first principals and have a frank discussion. However I feel like certain elements within society would shoot down these kind of discussions since it threatens their ideology which is akin to a religion which cannot be questioned. I feel like I am going to get downvoted for saying this and I'm already negative on my karma for my other comments today...

That's how an orbit works. If you think about a low orbit around the Earth, you are constantly falling towards Earth and missing, because you are going so fast around it. Likewise, the Earth is constantly falling towards the Sun, but because it is going sideways so fast it keeps going around instead. You say "aim towards sol" - but in order to do that you effectively need to stop going sideways. Once you have done that, it doesn't matter whether or not you are also travelling towards the Sun - you will be soon. That's what we mean when we say that in order to hit the Sun you need to slow down.

+1 on calling this BS, even though I think it is only partly BS:

While it is true that training very large language models is very expensive, pre-trained models + transfer learning allows interesting NLP work on a budget. For many types of deep learning a single computer with a fast and large memory GPU is enough.

It is easy to under appreciate the importance of having a lot of human time to think, be creative, and try things out. I admit that new model architecture research is helped by AutoML, like AdaNet, etc. and being able to run many experiments in parallel becomes important.

Teams that make breakthroughs can provide lots of human time, in addition to compute resources.

There is another cost besides compute that favors companies: being able to pay very large salaries for top tier researchers, much more than what universities can pay.

To me the end goal of what I have been working on since the 1980s is flexible general AI, and I don’t think we will get there with deep learning as it is now. I am in my 60s and I hope to see much more progress in my lifetime, but I expect we will need to catch several more “waves” of new technology like DL before we get there.
Example? I have yet to see something actually deployed by one of the big tech companies that could not be trained by students on a university cluster. I also think you underestimate grant funding. I worked at a state school a couple years back in a research lab that had over a million dollars in grant funds specifically for equipment and outside compute (not for salaries or new hires) and this is not at all abnormal.
I’m not expert in the matter but I’m sure just explaining some bad behavior does not make it legal if it were illegal.

GDPR, as I understand, does not allow removing unrelated features if someone does not agree to have their privacy broken. For example, opting out of ad tracking cannot make the site be blocked for me. In this case, there is no opt out button other than not using the feature and the feature does not require this information sharing.
This.

The experience of women on dating sites is this: lots of messages from men that basically say (often exactly this): "Wanna fuck?" Like, that's the whole message. Except there's almost always multiple misspellings, no matter how short the message is. So it's more like "U wanna fuk?". And then those men go on their local message boards and complain that no one is responding to that pithy, well-crafted message and they can't find a spouse to settle down with and raise a family.

I think it was a heckuva lot cheaper for most of human history when there was no mass literacy or public schooling or universal suffrage. Perhaps we had a briefly better time than now in the mid-20th century, but what we are seeing now is if anything a slight backslide to the usual state of affairs. In the larger arc of history, I think we're on the better end of things.

No, you can not equate laws against inciting violence against minorities with censoring political debate based on a vague and unsubstantiated redefinition of the term "hate speech"

Hate speech laws have been around in various forms throughout Europe since the end of WW2. And yes, it is fair to expect a party to stick to the same laws as other parties and not incite violence, be it physical, verbal, or otherwise, to minorities.
At one time, writing a ray tracer was a right of passage when getting into computer graphics. I never did it, but this week I was trying to figure out how to find the intersection point of a ray and an oblique cone and all of the resources I found were related to ray tracers.

I'm thinking that maybe I should actually write a ray tracer. Is that still a worthwhile thing to do, or has the world moved on?

FWIW, I never solved the ray-oblique cone problem...
