All gemstone diamonds, lab-grown or not, contribute to the collective cultural mind-warp that DeBeers has created.

Diamonds do not make you look great. Or, at minimum, they do not make you look better than cheaper, non-cartelized clear gemstones, such as moissanite, cubic zirconia, clear sapphire, clear beryl (goshenite), clear topaz, or even clear quartz.

Think about why you would rather have a diamond than any other mineral. Think about why a synthetic carbon allotrope sells at such a large premium over its actual cost of synthesis. They're still riding along on the coattails of DeBeers' 9 decades of unrelenting marketing.

If I were getting a pure carbon allotrope jewelry centerpiece, I would very much prefer a single graphene molecule, 235 km long, rolled up into a spiral 1 cm thick--preferably oriented to be most conductive along the axis. Now that would be something worth wearing!
I volunteer at the humane society in my county and its a ton of fun. The staff are caring and sweet, the other volunteers are amazing, and its fun seeing all the animals getting cared for. Surprisingly, its happy and sad to see them adopted. You are glad they have found a home, but you kind of miss them.

I'm sorry you lost your account (really, that sucks) but I don't understand framing this like Github is doing something wrong. It isn't like they banned you for spamming emojis.

You enabled 2fa, you lost your 2fa, and you did not have any recovery codes. Now you are asking for them to bypass the 2fa, and they are refusing.

Again, that sucks, but when I compare this to what the cell phone companies are doing with sim swapping, it increases my respect for Github.
Rewarding the question askers... like Monica Cellio, who asked a clarifying question about the not-yet-implemented pronoun policy, and you canned her for it? That sort of reward?

The US constitution makes the same delination, with the majority of the document outlining the limits of government power. It is only because some people want to strip others of constitutional protection that they argue about who it covers. Everyone gets freedom of speech, freedom of association, due process, etc.

If you have a broken bone, it doesn’t matter how bored the nurse who sets your cast is - as long as they follow established procedure, you have an extremely high chance to make a good recovery.

The issue with psychiatry is that it doesn’t really follow that model for many (most?) “conditions”. As the author points out, wild new approaches seem to work when everyone is excited about them, and then fail to do much better than a placebo when scaled out.

1) Using skin color (or proxy) as basis for judgement or systematic discrimination, is illegal = punishable.

Can the ML algo predict what the outcomes and consequences of its outputs are, and assess that? No?
The numbers in the chart better reflect an 'add up the costs' accounting methodology which is useful for deadlines or cost/benefit comparisons. It had also better be worth it to spend very costly human time to save comparatively cheep computer time. Things at E.G. FANG scale rather than the cron-job that does something overnight at a small business.
I’ve never seen a USB-C hub that works consistently.
For the pro line I would expect something I could just use to record video of me doing training or youtube reviews(at least in a crunch). I don't think it's too much to ask for at this price point. If I want to do the video editing it would be simple at times to use it for voice and video recording as well.
It does not vary wildly between countries. The overwhelming majority of countries fall into the range of 10-30% of tech roles filled by women and the remaining 70-90% by men. I don't think that a wide variety of countries falling into a band of ~20% is what most people would characterize as "varies wildly".

Regardless, the cause of the disparity is not relevant to the discussion at hand. The real world population of people involved in technology is disproportionately of one gender, so an unbiased machine learning model meant to associate terms with genders will associate technology terms with men at higher rates. Sure, some may claim that the reason why disproportionately more men go into technology is because society is biased. But the AI's role was not to model a hypothetical world with no biases. Its role was to model the real world.

As I wrote in my root comment, some may see value in biasing their models to achieve results that fit what they see as an ideal worldview. But the point remains: to do this is to deliberately introduce biases, not remove them.

I’d be almost certain that there are more people looking to crack exceedingly high value targets like politicians, and billionaires than there are me.

There’s also people looking to crack huge swathes of the population, but state level actors seem more interested in breaking key individuals for blackmail, and espionage.

Although some state level actors are interested in mass surveillance as well.

I don't think it's a coincidence. A lot of the value comes from things being open and free, which enables rapid proliferation and ubiquity of the technology, but also drastically increases the complexity of making money out of it.

It's one reason I'm really not a fan of the Silicon Valley model .... pick out the top 10 most important technology advances in the last 20 years and about half of them were uncommercialisable in the Silicon Valley sense.

> For example, the model under discussion, which can tell the difference between men and women and believes in differences between them, probably doesn't know that intersex people exist.

Considering that the frequency of intersex people in a population lies somewhere between 0.05% and 0.07%, not accounting for a secondary trait such as whether a biological M or F happens to be intersex is an irrelevant classification error that has a negligible (if any) impact on a model's predictive ability.

And by the way, any model can be regenerated if any attribute left out is found to be significant.
has more to do with scarcity of talent and demand rather than "things people love to do." Coding pays well because it is important and few people are smart enough to do it well. Service sectors jobs are not fun and pay poorly and there are a ton of job seekers relative to demand due ot low cognitive barriers to entry. Most job that would be considered "fun" either have low demand and or low cognitive barriers to entry.
>ability to leverage others to make them pay you

That's an interesting phrasing. In other words: ability to provide a valuable and scarce service that people are willing to pay for?

My kids were poking fun at the rendering glitches in the titles of Star Trek: Next Gen. They explored Netflix a little further to find the original Star Trek, and agreed that it had much better CGI with their starship. No glitches at all! It never occurred to them that they were models.
You seem to be purposely ignoring what I am saying so that you contradict something I didn't say. I doubt people are writing the software for medical devices by directly writing to stack registers (which wouldn't mean the typical automatic instructions that push and pop the stack while automatically incrementing or decrementing the instruction pointer at the same time)
The market is rarely as good at setting prices as its most ardent defenders claim. (Or, to be fair, as bad at setting them as its most ardent critics claim.)
All of those ports were already on the decline because their replacements already existed and were better. Every one of those ports existed on a machine with its replacement at some point.

Apple never made a machine with both USB-C and USB-A. They never allowed for a transition.

Because of that, people aren’t moving forward because they are holding back upgrades.
Easter European here. I rather agree that Easter Europe is relatively egalitarian, but it doesn't seem to affect ratio of men and women in IT. There is less than 20 % female students in IT related fields and smaller percent of women stays in the field after graduation compared to men.

The meaning of plurality of tokens as an analogue to a plurality of votes is clear, but if not, pretend that I've spelled it out for you. Do you have any objections to the substance of my argument, or did you just come to provide evidence in support?
Yes, there is. Legislation on the national level, or an international treaty + ratification.

And yes, that would trample on the "sanctity" of private property somewhat.
This is true for Ponzi schemes as well.

What's more likely--logic board failure, or the loss or theft of your entire laptop? If you're not backing up your data, your risk of data loss is unacceptably high. Worrying about whether the SSD is soldered to the logic board is like walking outside in the cold without a coat and worrying about whether you're wearing a long sleeve or short sleeve t-shirt.
Agree 100% - the single largest problem with applying ML to anything is getting
(1) enough
(2) accurate
(3) representative
(4) correctly labeled
data to train and validate the models.

Everything else is noise. For any proposed ML project, the first question you should ask is "Where are you going to get the training data?"

If someone tells you "Oh, getting data will be the easy part", back away very slowly :)
Right? Sounds so fun.

But also a great engineering exercise. I wouldn't be surprised if this exercise leads to lots of valuable improvements for GitHub users in the here and now. Trying to solve such a grand challenge forces you to develop a vocabulary and understanding of your current systems that can lead to more immediate improvements. I think it unlikely any of these archives will actually be accessed, but simply building them could lead to great side effects.

It's also great marketing, as I now believe that Microsoft/GitHub takes the job of not losing user data extremely seriously, more so than if they had spent an equivalent some of money buying an ad that says "We take not losing data seriously".
Which really should be the job of a nurse or physician's assistant. Doctors should be reserved for the cases that requires the ~10 years of training they receive.

Most people probably only need a yearly-visit to the physician's assistant or a nurse for bloodworks. There shouldn't be a need to see an actual doctor on a regular basis (unless you have some chronic ailment that nurses / physician assistants can't handle).

The prescription is probably the only part of that routine that requires a doctor.

My pet hypothesis is that train systems are intellectually complex, but bound in a framework of knowable rules. It seems like some people just can't resist diving deep into systems like that (credit card rewards, board games, or, of course, computer programming).

Amazon used to be a client and I've personally visited their San Bernardino facility and seen firsthand how FBA inventory is segregated from Amazon.com inventory.

Note that the WSJ article is from 2014--several years before my visit. I can't speak to what Amazon was doing with inventory in 2014, but it sure isn't what they were doing in 2017 at their SoCal distribution facilities.

> Odd that you deflect to creationism since you admit relying on a Rand faith-based argument

Science is fundamentally not faith-based. You can verify it yourself, as I have repeatedly invited you to do. You are making the argument that the current scientific consensus is wrong. If so, publish.

Saying that your argument is not scientific is not a personal attack. It is simply a statement of fact.

>One of the assets acquired through Dockwise helped Boskalis “push back boundaries” in 2018 according to Mr Berdowski; he is referring to the technically challenging, record-setting dry transport of the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) P-67 from China to Brasil. Weighing a record 90,000 tonnes, the FPSO was transported by the semi-submersible heavy-lift vessel Boka Vanguard, formerly Dockwise Vanguard. With a deadweight capacity of 117,000 tonnes, the Boka Vanguard has a “bowless design” to accommodate offshore structures or vessels that might overhang the bow or stern of the vessel.

It's harsh, but it really just comes down to supply and demand. The barrier to entry is basically zilch, and lots of people want to do it. Same story with acting.

Frankly (and this is just my opinion here), a lot of reporting is just very low value. Analysis is shallow, or just plain wrong. I find that reporters are way too credulous, have limited quantitative faculties, and tend to start from a narrative and find facts to fit that narrative.

Talking about this reminds me of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, in which people read a news article about something they know a lot about and realize it's riddled with errors (and then promptly forget about it; I try to avoid that second bit). I so often read things that are either only part of the story or incorrect. Is it any surprise that there's limited value in reporting that can be inaccurate as often as it is accurate?

I don't think this will ever be "fixed". I just try to pay for news sources I like, and that's probably the best thing anyone can do (right now that's thecity.nyc and ProPublica. I also pay for WSJ and NYT, just because they get shared around so much and the paywalls annoy me).

I sort of like this concept and was playing with Brave but I still can't explain to you how it works. I wish there were a page where I could see an ad, or something, a page that fully demos what is going on. The wallet page is a little confusing (I need to verify a wallet or something, which seems like it is a laborious process, etc). Seems very cool, but I hope they can keep simplifying it.
An acquaintance loves that quote, but modifies it slightly, " ... Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man to get someone else to change it."
I mostly agree with you, especially on devices like phones where there's a single port, but here, there's 4 ports. Even if you use it for charging and two displays, you can still manage to put one USB-A in there. If you really like symmetry, maybe two of each. Unfortunately, Apple's obsession with uniformity and clean design would never let them do such a thing, even if the diversity would be objectively better here.
Extrapolate a bit more. Imagine a Maps app that allows you to see individual people and forward predict their interactions with the world with half second resolution, conditioned on the personalized stimuli you feed them through their electronic devices.
This reminds me of Altman's justification of his AI venture. Once he solves AGI, then all the monies is his, and whomever else was lucky enough to invest in his 'lightcone of the future'.

Enough so that I'd consider starting a hedge fund to short all the AGI companies :)
This is a great point that often gets glossed over in these discussions. Facebook and Google primarily get value from your personal information by hoarding it and treating both it and the data they derive from it as proprietary.
Type-A has completely disappeared from my life and that of my family's.

Micro-USB is still clinging on but those will fade out within the next 2-3 years.

Additionally, four years is a laughably short period of time to measure Type-C's adoption, but even given that, I would love to see actual usage data for, say, American adults.
Agreed. Which is sort of why I asked that. The reply to me said it would be closer to $200/m. However, I was wanting to pay content creators, not parasites.

So my comment was talking about paying content creators. I can't imagine they come anywhere close to $200/m from me, as you put it it's all the middlemen. So why would I be concerned about $200/m?
You could easily imagine that most or all signal masks in spome green threaded program are the same, and a cheap userspace implementation of set/swapcontext that only calls into the kernel if the signal mask changes. I.e., it doesn't have to be a kernel call most of the time.
The problem is, some groups do commit crimes at higher rates than others. If we are engineering the model to produce outputs with no disparities when disparities do exist in the real world, then our model is going to be biased.

For instance, men commit more crimes than women. If we are building an AI that predicts risk of committing crime (say, estimating rates of recidivism) and we forcibly make it report equal rates between men and women then we will be creating a discriminatory system because it will either under report the risk of men or over report the risk of women in order to achieve parity. Engineering parity of outcome in the model when the real world outcomes have disparities necessarily results in bias.
