I thought the issue here was with demographically targetable ads on e.g. Google or Facebook. I've been a hiring manager in the past, and we never used those. Most of our entry level employees were from career fairs at the nearby university. Most of our senior employees were either from the network or from (ultra-expensive) recruiters. Frankly it never even occurred to anyone to purchase targeted ads because they're so uncommon.

I am 32M full stack developer from South Africa.

Been trying to relocate to Canada for a few years now with no success.

Things that appeal to me are:
Lots of tech jobs.
Foreigner friendly population.
Indian community (I am of Indian origin).
Low crime rates.

If there is anyone in Canada looking for a fine developer, please give me a shout!
That's probably a better description for "star" x than being the best at x.
> the Supreme Court explicitly held the employer didn't intend to discriminate.

The Supreme Court did not hold that, it merely noted that the lower courts had held that, and noted that a lack of discriminatory intent was “suggested” by the Company's efforts to help undereducated employees by financing a major portion of remedial education (part, but not all, of the policy held to be disparate impact was adoption of high school diploma requirements for positions for which such requirements has no substantial relation to job performance.)

The Supreme Court explicitly did not consider whether there was intent to discriminate, because it was not necessary to do so to resolve the case.
The doctrine of disparate impact is plainly immoral and flies in the face of freedom of association. Society should punish companies which display behaviors they do not approve of using the market instead of the government.
"it was pointing out that "child rape" was not a good description of the event that supposedly took place (as it was thought at the time). And I happen to agree with that distinction, no matter how tone-deaf it might have sounded."

No.
It was more than that. Stop downplaying, if you want to be taken seriously. But I stop repeating myself.
This graph is a high level abstraction, of course. How exactly neurons store information is interesting, but hardly relevant here. My guess is that one symbol is stored in a very sparse subset of neurons and each neuron acts a bit like a node in a DHT. All together these neurons implement a fast DHT where a word2vec graph node acts as a key. On top of that this "wet DHT" can quickly find keys nearby, i.e. in can instantly return all neighbors of word2vec("apple").

I think ANNs implement only the word2vec function that translates images or sounds into symbols and vice versa.

I was wondering what it would take to replace a current container ship by a sail boat, like a clipper. Apparently, each container ship has more or less a 100 times the tonnage of a clipper.

Independently of the speed of the ships, the cost of the crews would probably kill the idea, except for goods with a very high margin, but there must a fuel price (including carbon tax) where this should become economically viable again.
Indeed, you always have to look for new ways to improve, but you don't have to change the way you work, Likely you are doing a lot of things well.
I think better advice is, be curious to learn some way to improve, be conservative in applying it.
Here is an article from 2015 about the same problem but with more context and examples:

Re-entry will take something on the order of 10m or less. Even the space shuttle only took 30 minutes while flying like a plane. There will be no circumstances where the ship is going to be subjected to that amount of heat for 30-120 minutes.

> or the steel isn't reaching temperatures over 250 Celsius

That might be the case. The space shuttle had an aluminum structure that would fail at 175C, and now we have 40 years of technology advancements for the heat shield.
Starship looks stupid simple compared to the FH.
Were we to take the second sentence seriously, we would have to conclude that the general idea of prohibition of discrimination of whatever kind in non-governmental action (whether employment or public accommodation) was immoral, not merely the specific doctrine of disparate impact.

The picture is beautiful but I feel that it doesn't convey the right mental model of the black hole.

It would be a great picture to illustrate gravitational lensing, but it's a not so great one for conveying what a black hole is.

From the picture it seems that particles are swirling around in multiple directions, whereas the mental picture you should get is : there is a standard accretion ring but with gravitational lensing visual filter turned on.

Something like Stack Exchange's tag system would be enough.
One would be surprised how more often than not, this is the scenario playing out on SO.
OK I misinterpreted slightly.

Fake it til you make it isn't a terrible strategy. But pure fraud? If you didn't even make an attempt to learn on the job? You'd get caught pretty fast as soon as someone started asking any kind of in depth questions about the models you were supposed to be training.

I'm not sure you could land a job knowing nothing. Maybe. Depends how hard you get interviewed and whether they know about machine learning. If you could fake a portfolio and nobody questioned it perhaps? I can see that happening in academia for sure.

There are a few problem classes where you could throw stuff into a black box and get great results out. Image classification for example. Fast.ai have made that three lines of code.

So maybe there are a bunch of applications where you could fake it, especially if you were willing to Google your way round the answers.

Would be harder in industry I think, but you find incompetent people everywhere.
>> hitting the universities directly

That's exactly what we did, with a modicum of success. The pickings are super slim, though. Most CS students don't really seem to give a shit about CS, meaning they don't do anything other than coursework, at all, and their coursework is pretty primitive, and uses Java which our company had no use for.

Another problem is when you go to career fairs, easily 9 out of 10 people coming to your booth will be looking for an internship rather than a job. This isn't a problem per se, if you're a large company this is actually pretty great. But I was hiring for a small (at the time) startup, so that was a bit of a waste of everyone's time. Still we landed a few diamonds in the rough after a few attempts. 8/10, would hire from local schools again.

Ironically, the most extensively qualified candidate I met at these career fairs was female. She was in grad school and had a resume you wouldn't believe if you'd seen it, and very obviously smart as a whip. She was, however, too smart to work for a startup. Can't say I blame her.

You are not going to see anything like that in an art museum. But in peoples homes, sure. This is the kind of art street-artists sell to tourists.

It is easy to see why they recommended him architecture instead though. The buildings are drawn technically good and precise, but they are also the only thing that really works. Nature and people looks pretty bad. But of course with appropriate training he might have learned that also, who knows.

From my personal experience, the efforts being put into e-mail based attacks is greatly increasing. My guess is low-level attacks that target a massive amount of people indirectly are turning out to be less lucrative compared to previous years. Probably due to better filtering and people generally being more wise to it.

The new attacks I've seen, which happened to me directly as well, seem to use more direct methods. Instead of just a blanket phishing e-mail, the e-mail will come in as just being from an "old friend". The e-mail looks legit and the person doing it even puts in efforts to know where you worked in the past or your past history (my guess is they grab this data from facebook or similar social media). They will talk to you and the story they give you sounds completely legit. A lot of the stories they give you do sound legit and will check out but they only check out due to being somewhat vague (like they know where you worked but don't know exactly what you did there). The reason I was targeted is most likely because I used mtgox (the first bitcoin exchange which eventually got hacked - database stolen which included my e-mail address and full name). My guess is they think I have a large stash of bitcoin or similar cryptocurrencies.

The real shocker is they have a scary amount of personal information about you. Some of this data I can only see it coming from hacked databases from compromised websites - date of birth, phone number, full work history, current address etc. among others.
The interesting thing about this for me is that I've always assumed that the default state of an awake mind is a kind of inattentiveness where we take in an process no data at all. But this article makes it sound like, by default, our minds are constantly trying to process and take everything in, and the extra work goes in to filtering the input we get.

This seems to match with the phenomenal experience of being overwhelmed in noisy or crowded situations, and of the difficult part of meditation being teaching yourself not to suppress experiences as they arise and just take everything in.

The question of renewables recycling will become important, but it's hard to argue that the minerals required are both in short supply from mining and too expensive to recycle.

Edit; it looks like WEEE is having the intended result, there's already a solar panel recycling plant in Europe: https://www.livingcircular.veolia.com/en/industry/first-recy...

(I would expect there to be a small waste stream from installations due to panels damaged in handling, before the big waste stream begins in 10-20 years as the first installations start having degraded production and get upgraded)

Hydrogen has huge practical problems with storage. Ammonia is an interesting idea, but direct combustion isn't practical due to NOx emissions and low temperature, and ammonia fuel cells are still at the lab prototype stage. The toxicity of ammonia is also an issue.

You are being sarcastic, but this is literally true. Sadly loads of people don't even believe the truth of global warming (as if science is subject to the whims of people's beliefs).

What would these people find more compelling? A slow, systemic process like global warming, which involves incremental changes taking place over decades - or the spectacle of exploding oil refineries, armed drones, and the drama of conflict.

Probably the latter, even if the first is far more catastrophic.
Here are some other points; Working in Germany, you may obtain an EU Bluecard, which allows you to reside/work wherever you want in Europe. The salaries are quite good and life quality is pretty high. The mentality is European, which is considerably different from American countries.
Language in Europe is always a concern, however, Berlin benefits an international atmosphere. German may need a bit of work!
Canada is cold, but English. This could be a huge advantage!
While Berlin is a better city than Toronto, I think you will find that Canada is far, far more open to immigrants than Germany is. Berlin is multicultural for Europe, but it's nothing compared to London, Toronto, or New York.

That's not to say that Berlin or Germany are anti-immigrant or that you'll face hostility, but more that you will have a more difficult time integrating into the culture. Even someone from a culturally similar country like Belgium or the Netherlands will never be regarded as a "German", even if he/she lives in Germany for decades. This isn't the case in the U.S. or Canada, or in a lesser sense, London.

We're someone else's fuckwads.

We all hope the troll spewing "Hitler did nothing wrong" learns better somehow, but there isn't a quick and effective "somehow". The Internet enables us to connect with people all over the world, or at least the English-speaking world, but all we've constructed is more echoey echo chambers. Fuckwads sticking together is how we got to the current state of politics. Someday, someone smart is going to figure out how to do better than deleting/hiding fuckwads' comments and giving them their own echo chamber.

It's the best solution we have now, but it's a pretty bad one.

Well there's more to it than just the compiler, but if you develop for the server and either SBCL or CCL are behaving like champs for your needs, there aren't many reasons to change. The IDE is really nice but it isn't a game changer. LispWorks shines when you have to ship products that customers will run themselves.

As for the pricing of the Hobbyist edition, I think they are hurting their business this way in the long term. Times have changed and thanks to Quicklisp the ecosystem is better and more important than ever, but a lot of libraries go untested for LW because of such paywall. Not to mention the Personal Edition is barely usable and leaves a bad impression.

But then again, these are just my two cents. I am not going to tell one of the very few commercial vendors alive today how to run their business.
Absolutely agree with mastering SQL.

Out of all of the languages I have learned over the years, only one has stayed important in every job and mostly static - SQL

There are many languages and libraries, but at this moment in time, all of them have to talk to a database at some stage, and in order to do that all of them convert the request to SQL.
> hopefully it's not just because of the ease of containerization/docker that is leading to reduced hot loading

It's because it's not super easy to properly architect in, it's hard to test, and it requires supporting running multiple versions of the code concurrently (and the ability to migrate data on the fly).
I had thought I'd seen some articles long ago that Microsoft was doing this with everyone's one-drive cloud thing that is auto installed with windows 10(?) and added to windows 8 if you install office (still?) -

that Microsoft's onedrive system auto-detects pics with X% of skin showing, and when it does, all of your nudie (and semi-nudie) pics were sent to humans to look at automatically - and those humans could forward your pics to other people and agencies..

So I have always assumed that google would be doing the same, as I recall some articles about them leading the way in detecting and censoring pics, and providing detectives with things like bed sheet matches for hotels, and tracking phone numbers and pics of hookers that changes cities (that one was a google employee on 6 month leave or something?)

I have not seen anything about Apple getting into these things, would be quite interesting if they do the same - it would mean all of the fappening celeb victims had already been peeped on before hackers release them to the public right?
Python Tips and Trick, You Haven’t Already Seen
Mainly because the relup functionality is a bit complicated and not always clear, Learn You Some Erlang explains some context [1]. It does depend a bit on the situation, in some cases it's easy to recompile a module in a running system and it might not be much of a problem. But when there are multiple modules being updated, which depend on each other, which possibly require updates to some data structures, it becomes very messy very quickly. Also when modules contain anonymous functions this can cause some issues (badfun errors) because the old version might get lost, but can still have references in the running system.

As someone who is not really young anymore, I would prefer not being shown those ads. They are not going to hire me anyway when I show up and they see me so I am just going to waste my time... and even if they were somehow forced to hire me, I don't want to work with people who do not want work with me. Some problems cannot be illegalized away.
All this will do is force companies which are not open to hiring older people and women will have to spend money interviewing them. They will still reject them and waste everyone’s time.
I have trouble to understand your message behind your analogy...

From what I get is that you are referring to woman as the poor, and man as the rich.

Just because it's a man dominated field, does it mean the others remaining have no chance to get anything in that field?

If so, do you suggest that one half of the world is not allowed to have these jobs at the same condition because some people already do, just because they have a male reproductive system? --- Meaning that all men are representative for all men, the same for women?

This is not equality.
