They are sort of misdemeanor plus because in addition to legal inconveniences in the US they also lead to deportation. This is something that has been vilified in the case of folks coming up from Mexico of course, but nobody gives a shit if a person that followed all the rules gets deported because of some bad luck with the lottery or their sponsor ditches them or their time is just up.

Case in point, I have a young lady on my team at work that came to the US to receive her masters in computer science, and is presently employed on a STEM OPT extension to her F1 visa. We have tried twice to get her H1-B and she hasn't been picked up. Next year will be the last try, and we're unsuccessful she will be kicked out of the US to no press or protest. She's a wonderful person and has been a true asset to my team and the company, she did everything 'right' and yet may have to leave. However if we do the exact same thing to someone that skipped all of those formalities and broke the rules, it's somehow racist and nationalist and practically a human rights violation?

I get it, calling these folks 'illegals' is a bit crass. But it's more precise than calling them 'immigrants' because it's a special case of immigrant that we're talking about, one is distinct not because of race or color or country of origin, but because of legal status.
My watch says I get between 20 minutes and 70 minutes of deep sleep a night, out of 7 ~ 9 hours total.

I've tried Magnesium, Melatonin, turning off all devices hours before bed, turning off all lights hours before bed, sleeping in a cold room, etc.

I'm not overweight or unhealthy. I take in zero caffeine, zero alcohol/zero drugs. I do take a daily PPI.

I feel tired a lot, and I seem to feel more tired on days when my watch (Xiaomi Smart Band 3) reports the lowest deep sleep scores (I consider how I'm feeling first, then look at the sleep score to compare).

I want more deep sleep, but try as I might I don't know how to make it happen.
Companies think regurgitating leetcode is better... the number of problems that can be asked is quite large. Memorizing that search space in itself takes tenacity and a good memory...of which are signs of a good employee (regardless of their current coding skill set)
I find it ironic that the same people protesting the contract would also protest a bakery that refuses to sell a product for say a same sex couple (or if you were in the 60s, restaurants that refused to serve blacks).

You either have a viewpoint that:
1) a business shouldn't make a moral judgement on its customers and be accessible to all
2) A business can make moral judgements on its customers and choose not to do business with customers considered immoral

If you are ok with #2 you are running into a slippery slope in my view. And if you are ok with #2 and you are one of the largest companies in the world, it is a very huge slippery slope.

I don’t know - he didn’t explain how the algorithm works, what it does, or anything you couldn’t just have gotten out of the scikit docs. Would have been much better if it actually described the algorithm or presented an implementation of it (which isn’t that complex, BTW).

This is an example to backup the statement. The US starts from a strong principle of free speech. European countries generally don't value this as highly, and will censor speech if they feel it is necessary.

Jewish do indeed account for a disproportionate number of Nobel Prizes, among other things. At the very least, that seems to indicate that intellectual prowess is highly regarded inside the Jewish community and, as such, strongly encouraged as kids grow up. It's possible that the Jewish culture itself may provide members with a sense of structure and discipline that other cultures perhaps lack (at least on average).
Ideally, yes.. but it shouldn't be a condition for it.
I'm not changing definition; I'm going by definition used by others.

This is one of my favorite patterns from Haskell, which I've known as "type-level programming". One of the most common examples is a "sized vector"[1] which allows compile-time bounds checking. This is achieved by annotating each vector type with a phantom type variable representing its size.

Nice to see something like this in Rust! One thing that's a bit of a bummer, and I'm sure there are very good reasons for this, is that we HAVE to use every type argument of struct in its definition. If this restriction were to be relaxed, we wouldn't need the "state" field in the struct at all, and we could make the state type variable truly "phantom".

There are massive logistical challenges with processing mass influxes of immigrants into a country, particularly people who are coming through outside of the legal process.

I would think a large contingent of GitHub employees want the people working at ICE to be using the best tools possible to achieve their mission. Many are probably quite proud of US government agencies using their tools, the same as if NASA or Executive Branch or Congress was using Github.

IMO it’s a very difficult situation when certain employees are arranging political protests against specific customers of the company, and making other employees uncomfortable to express their own potentially divergent viewpoints.

The 68000 has some serious design flaws in the architecture.

A notable one is the autoincrement and autodecrement of indirect memory references. This makes it difficult to get the architecture running instructions in parallel. Memory can be changing, but the address at which it changes is determined late.

It gets even more troublesome if the CPU comes with a MMU. It becomes necessary to avoid actually performing the autoincrement or autodecrement until all page faults have been resolved. (getting that VAX feel here) Remember that memory accesses can go to the same location as other memory accesses and/or to memory mapped IO, so simply rolling back the value is no good.

The situation with flags wasn't any better than x86 has, which is pretty bad. There are partial flags updates, undefined flag updates, and a mix of math flags with other types of flags.

The interrupt situation was bad. The CPU architecture specifies a small number of levels. Better designs, like x86 and PowerPC, leave that up to the interrupt controller chipset.
That’s amazing to me. It seems to me like creating a hostile work environment and a form of harassment, although political rallying is not a protected category, and the employer is likely hamstrung in making any sort of response.
They don’t have to clone Raptor, just use an open cycle hydrolox and suffer a weight penalty of extra insulation. That will still give them a reusable LEO launch vehicle with tens of tons payload capacity. Raptor is what it is because SpaceX wants it as part of their Mars project, meaning hydrogen is off the table due to long term storage requirements.

As for the jet engines, is that what you know or what you have been told? What is the provenance of that data? Is there any chance that you are victim to a Chinese disinformation campaign?
But how is Github's product enabling human rights violations? I can understand if Github employees were protesting a product that created human rights violations (for example if Github offered a security service for ICE detention centers that was abusing prisoners). Would you be ok if Github was a restaurant and it had a policy of not serving anyone who is an ICE employee?
So in other words it's like RAM, just the power off and all is lost.
Every open source project _needs_ an elevator pitch on it. It's a big source of frustration that so many projects just expect you to know what they are and at worst use unnecessarily specific terminology (or worse, acronyms) unique to their field. There's times I'm convinced I've missed incredibly useful libraries because I lack a level of familiarity with a particular specialism to even be aware that the software is perfect for my needs.
Absolutely true. Was an electronic tech in the USAF in the 80's. We were routinely given access and direction to use a lot of (now) scary organic solvents without proper guidance, protection, etc.

this is the first seriously backwards move in 30 years of the company afaik. quitting immediately isn't the answer to your average employee.

and please reread what I wrote. I know many blizzard employees. as much as it hurts them to see what their company did, quitting simply can't be an option to them. not in a massive immediate show of support. not everyone can afford to be political.

Prof. Matthew Walker says the accuracy of sleep trackers when it comes to per stage time is questionable. See Peter Attia podcasts w/ Walker.

Does the PhantomData type in Rust do what you want? Or are you talking about something slightly different?

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/phantom-data.html

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/struct.PhantomData.html

So

struct Sender<S> {
/// Actual implementation of network I/O.
inner: SenderImpl;
/// 0-sized field, doesn't exist at runtime.
state: S;
}

I believe could become

struct Sender<S> {
/// Actual implementation of network I/O.
inner: SenderImpl;
/// 0-sized field, doesn't exist at runtime.
_marker: PhantomData<S>;
}

I've never used this PhantomData personally, so this might be wrong. Cheers!

Thank your this. I am also very interested in biology and was looking to find a way to buy used equipment. I was reading biotech books and I was blown away by recombinant DNA and how insulin was invented as a medicine.
I havn’t been keeping references, but this isn’t the first paper I’ve seen suggesting part of REM cycle is used to flush fluid build up in parts of the brain, and that this flushing is necessary for high cognitive utilization. Also, this flushing seems to be difficult or impossible without REM (though I suspect vigorous exercise helps).

I wouldn’t be surprised if lack of sleep could help contribute to Alzheimer symptoms, if not the actual disease side effects of brain structure deterioration.
You’re one person trying to change the definition, but you’re correct there are others trying to do the same.
ICE is getting raked over the coals in the court of public opinion because they don't have the funding nor the manpower to deal with 100k people coming over the border each month. Many asylum seekers are just exploiting the asylum system with invalid cases as economic migrants to delay the process so they don't get sent back home. All the while congress hasn't done much at all to fix the obvious problems in the law (some of which lead to family separation in detainment), nor do reasonable things like give a pathway to citizenship for the dreamers.

Simply saying they are doing bad things is reducing the problems to a soundbite.
Yep, as an Iranian American of course I support multiculturalism :)
I was assuming that this was a solved problem, given how prevalent drone warfare is now.
It is long past reasonable to doubt that intelligence is at least 50% heritable.
Great question. I suppose not exhausting enough! Getting my heart rate up from walking rapidly up steep hills, doing low-weight squats, pushups/bicep curls, etc seems to have no effect.

I guess I should try lifting heavy, consistently over weeks, and see if that does anything.

A few days ago I was listening to an interview on the radio, and the man said that Spain had a very inefficient food supply chain becuase the food would travel across provinces. He said that if the provinces would be able to self supply about 80-90% of their own food that would reduce massively the CO2 footprint. He gave some numbers which I don't remember, but they were quite massive.

Texas alone has a bigger surface than Spain, I wonder how much pollutes the transport of the food alone and how much could be avoided by producing food locally. The whole thing seems pretty wasteful...

Yes. Something tells me that if ICE just signed up to Github, nobody would even notice.

> I absolutely agree. My solution is we make Pakistan so economically great that they don't need to come to the UK or any other country. We make Poland, the UK, etc where there does not need to be mass migration from anywhere. I have no problem with limited immigration, I think that's great.

I agree with you as well. However, are we willing to change our way of life in order to stop exploiting various countries around the world?
The difference is not serving black or queer people isn't a moral judgement -- it's just discrimination (there isn't anything inherently wrong with being Black the same way there isn't anything wrong with being queer or Asian or Indian, those things aren't a choice unlike being a Nazi). At best, not serving minorities is a shitty moral judgement.

Not serving ICE is a more legitimate moral judgement because ICE has the option to change their behavior and ICE is genuinely bad.

Slippery slope is one of those silly things I see from free speech advocates. I tend not to see the bad impacts in real life because if the government isgoing to restrict free speech, they will do it regardless of what anti-hate speech laws currently exist.

That's good to hear! My sleep tracker seems to base results on heart rate, and maybe my heart rate doesn't dip enough during sleep to register?

I'd like to do a sleep study, but it's over $1,000 out of pocket, so not a small investment.
> You’re comparing sentence classification done using transformer embeddings to older results which use inferior embeddings. How do regular convnets do when you feed them transformer embeddings?

Actually, I'm comparing it to recent models, including XLNet, MT-DNN, Snorkel, and (of course) BERT. AFAIK, convnets have not been able to outperform multihead self-attention, even on pretrained embeddings.

> Re learning reverse graphics - ok, maybe it is indeed the main feature of your work. I’d need to look into that, because from skimming your paper it’s not immediately clear what’s going on there.

I agree, it's not immediately clear. Nonetheless, I find it kind of unbelievable that a model with so few parameters can seem to do it. (I was shocked when I first saw the plots.)

> Re convnet accuracy on Norb - I’m willing to make that effort for cifar-10 as soon as you have the results.

That's a little disappointing... but OK.

Yes, I'm convinced people that hear too many dog whistles in conversation are either intellectually lazy or borderline paranoid schizophrenic. Rather than trying to engage with the person to really understand how they are thinking about something, 'dog whistles' are used to neatly package them into subhuman categories not worth consideration as peers in democracy.
> Kindling this kind of provocative discussions should not be permitted here

I simply and in good faith answered jonplackett's question based on my personal opinion and observations. My intention was not to provoke, although I do realise that this is a sensitive topic for some.

> But assigning intelligence to a "gene" and excluding any kind of environmental or societal/cultural reason for this kind of outlier is not very "smart"

Certainly, I do not believe that genetics is the only factor that affects intelligence. That being said, in the same spirit, I think that excluding genetics as a potential factor just because it makes some feel uncomfortable is not very smart.
Thank you so very much for saying this. When will these people realise that nobody gives a toss about their overly long and overcomplicated selection process.

And, these guys aren't even Waymo.
It does! But you still have to actually "use" it, meaning that it appears as a field in the definition, and you have pass a PhantomData value whenever you create new instances of your data type.

In Haskell, you can omit these fields entirely, and achieve the same thing just by annotating the function.

For example, in Haskell, we can have

data Const a b = Const a

whereas in Rust, it would be:

struct Const<A, B> {
konst: A,
// does not exist at run-time
discard: PhantomData<B>
}
We feel like there is a difference between those 2 cases because we experience a continuity in our experience of the universe (ie. consciousness).

Under this premise (as you stated), copying your entire state and spawning it elsewhere (then killing the original) means your original version experiences a stopping of their continuity.

But if you analyze that premise, you realize that the only reason we believe we existed a second ago is because of our memory (the same reason the clone believes it was always alive).

How can you know that you aren't being cloned, in-place, right now? ie. Copied, killed, and spawned in place almost instantaneously. At every instant you carry all your memories and thus "feel" continuity, but it's a new you.

In this view, being killed and spawned elsewhere is no different. It isn't taking anything away from you because you never had it.

Obviously this is just a thought experiment, but just the fact that right now, while you were questioning if being cloned and killed was bad for the original you, this process could have been happening to you without your knowledge, might mean it is irrelevant.
Glad to see reasonable discussion is still alive and well on HN. /s
They have the manpower, they're just doing everything as inefficiently and inhumanely as possible in order to arrive at this outcome. This is a choice that the administration is making, and ICE is implementing it.

Linux doesn't need marketing. It's perfectly usable without it. Those who want Linux will use Linux. Those who don't know enough about Linux will be excluded by their own choice.

Sure, that may be an elitist attitude, but it's worked perfectly well for the Benz, Lexus, Porsche (etc, etc) users down through the years.

The 'Year of the Linux Desktop' crowd seem to think that to be labelled as such, Linux users need to be more than 50% of the total. Using that same logic, when is the "Year of the Mercedes Benz on the Roads"? That's a silly question, isn't it? The truth is that sufficient Mercedes Benz owners are very happy using their Mercedes cars on the roads. And that sufficient Linux users are very happy using our Linux Desktops.

I've been using Linux on my Desktop since 2001, and using one commercial UNIX or another in the 10 years between 1991 and 2001. I've never ever used Windows as my everyday Desktop. But if you want to use Windows, then go ahead, I won't stop you. Same as I drive my fourth Benz in the last 20 years, and don't care a bit if you want to drive your Ford.
Any dependently typed language worth its salt will be able to model a state machine in its type system.

Haskell can do it with some effort, maybe for simple stuff phantom types and GADTs are enough. With linear types the explicit "consumption" can be modeled.
