Just like becoming principal engineer. You will never do it at a company you joined as merely senior, unless you are approx employee #5 or earlier.

it should be obvious why. there's no more room (nor need) at the top. if you wait for it, you are not waiting for your skills to be recognized, you are waiting for someone to die.
Cynically, does a bank care why zipcode is correlated with failure to repay loans? Forcing the bank to act as if the probability distributions are different from how they really are sounds like a very awkward way to redistribute wealth. Maybe the right answer would be reparations for whatever society did to everyone in those communities and then total freedom of association for banks and others to give loans as they see fit. Another option would be to give a bad credit subsidy to people in the cases where their low estimated trustworthiness is judged to be due to someone else's error. For example if a factory gives me lead poisoning, my interest rates go up because people with high blood lead content are less likely to keep good credit, but the factory has to pay the difference because they were liable.

This reminds me of the argument for the UBI. Instead of having thousands of tiny chairty programs sprinkled all over society, why not let the economy make itself as efficient as possible and then hand out the charity in units of dollars?
Correct. It was not a lawful order.
And then we'll need to find a programmer-hobbit to throw that One Ring into the fire for us.
Sample 9 is a good example. The pronunciation of "biographer" is consistent even when it should be very different. All of the examples stress the first syllable but an American would stress the second.
Well, in many cases, they are indeed learning something false (or, to be more charitable, something that is not sufficiently true). For example, a facial recognition system that has trouble detecting dark-skinned faces. Black and brown people clearly have faces, but because the systems were not trained on their facial data, and the capability to adequately adjust exposure or other aspects of the sensor stack was not built into the system, it provides an objectively wrong solution given perfectly reasonable inputs.

I agree that this process is one of resolving blind spots, but I disagree that the blind spots are simply areas devoid of light. AI/ML systems are frequently employed to augment or stand in for human perception, which is known to be necessarily incomplete with respect to reality. In other words, they can learn things that seem true to us but that are false from another perspective, or undesirable once exposed. What's exciting about them is that they provide an opportunity to interrogate the flaws in our individual perception with a systematized observation and analysis, in a much more sophisticated manner than in the past. But fulfilling that potential requires humility.

Fwiw I used Emacs as my go-to editor & IRC client for a few years but I just could not bring myself to like info much at all. The format feels more suitable for something that wants to be a book. I don't want manuals to read like books.

As addressed, the benchmarks in question were for HPC, where turning off SMT and running without mitigations is standard.
15,000/325,000,000 ~= 1/25,000. Just for scope because 15,000 sounds big but not that huge for a country this large. Yes its way too high, but its not like Americans are Yosemite Sam all the time.
maybe they should be complaining to the peripheral manufacturers rather than Apple. USB C is better and a major player going all in is the only way to get the industry to switch.
May be. I try to be a little less ignorant everyday, though. That's why we are here, on news.yc, I guess; to exchange ideas, to engage in discussions, to learn from whoever would teach.
I think the point was a low participation system relative to the web as a whole has meant systems where many bloggers accumulatad less than a withdraw transaction fee each. Aside from that, they need all the bother of registration.

I'm not really sure how I feel about the idea that everyone should be accumulating money on all these things. It kind of devalues things to have people trying to make a lot from micropayments mixed with a more hobby web. I think I've eventually turned away from everything that had some get rich quick schemers show up.

> it is more about keeping the relationship and looking like more of a one stop shop.

IME, it's often about the customer trust relationship and convenience. The customer doesn't want to deal with 10 W-9s and managed 10 new vendor relationships, and they trust us to source the other work and warranty it. A good analogy would be a GC in construction.
Strace & procfs are some of my favorite Linux programs. OpenBSD's ktrace & kdump are much more limited in what they can do. Is there anything out there that can provide similar functionality for OpenBSD?
Unless it's sold by Amazon itself. Amazon is quite good at making sure their own inventory is never commingled with FBA inventory due to the risk of counterfeits infiltrating their inventory.
I'm glad you did. It's a great example of the problem we are discussing.

I agree, there is are many negative biases in the real world. More so, I'd argue, on the internet, where people feel safer at a distance to state disagreeable opinions.

It's worth noting, especially when we are discussing the nature of how an AI learns.

Like it or not, revenue is required to keep sites online.

Hosting costs money. Design costs money. Maintenance costs money.

If the internet is to stay as alive and as open/accessible as it currently is for the public at large (despite increases in censorship), there needs to be more effort put into high availability and accessibility by more people than the enthusiasts who run revenue free sites/businesses that have other revenue streams.

People have been trained not to accept paywalls. But they do tip, as we see with patreon, superchats, etc, and and they do accept some modicum of ads and freemium services.

Brave provides options for all of those things; what I like most about brave is not its ad model, but its site donation model. It’s a very direct form of person to site donations that is built to be extremely convenient. I don’t know how it’s implemented, but if it's sufficiently decentralized (which I think it is, unless the BAT crypto currency is just a distraction from some centralized mechanism required for donations), that’s a potentially very valuable/difficult to censor/easy means of direct value exchange. Plus you don’t have the privacy concerns you do with ads.

My hope is that it becomes so convenient and popular to send money to sites via Brave and potential future competitors that the ad revenue model can be mostly replaced. That might be pie in the sky, but it seems plausible to me.

I also think it’s great that users get a big chunk of ad revenue. That percentage may change in the future, but for low income people who can get a few extra bucks by browsing normally/might be less likely to use ad blockers, something like Brave seems way better than seeing ads and not getting any revenue.

I have two kids, work from home. Mornings are a battle to get the older one ready for kindergarten and driving her there, then going home to work. Picking her up in the afternoon, finishing work, eating supper, playing etc with the kids and sleep. Rinse and repeat.

I can't find time for any hobbies, I've lost all my friends. Life has become an ever-shrinking circle of family tedium.

Brave is awesome and I'm happy to see them reaching this point. I've been using this as my primary browser for the past 2 years and my absolute favorite thing about it is the simple profiles switching. HOWEVER that's also the thing that's irritated me the most as this software has changed: it started with person-specific tabs (awesome!) then moved to person-specific windows (okay ...), and now for the third time they've changed the icons available without letting me specify custom pictures (ugh!). Where is my ability to sync these PROFILES AS A GROUP? Setting up half a dozen "people" on each new computer becomes a tiresome exercise.

I tried the rewards/BAT thing for a while but after a few computer changes and losing my wallet through the process, I gave up and just block everything and contribute nothing. I'd like to get back into it but all of those transitions just killed it for me.

All that said, there's a lot of good stuff in here and I'm happy to be using it as my primary browser. Now that they're hitting 1.0 I may actually be able to recommend it to non-tech people.
Why is it that a lot of startups seem to be betting the farm, so to speak, on "machine learning" as their core value

Because it is the current overhyped thing, and there are enough dumb investors to fund it.
Damore advocated for neither prejudice nor discrimination. He explicitly stated that people should not assume that differences in averages should be applied at an individual level. And not only did he not advocate for discrimination, he advocated for Google to eliminate it's discriminatory practices.

There is no real need to plug an iPhone or iPad into your MacBook though.
Impressive but they still sound like robots imitating humans. I can only imagine the chaos this could cause, if used by bad actors, as it continues to improve. If someone took my voice I'm not sure that my partner would know it wasn't me. That would enable all kinds of social engineering attacks.

This comment breaks the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Would you please review them and stick to the rules when posting here? Gratuitous insinuation about astroturfing is probably the most toxic of the common internet poisons, and it's important not to spread that unless you have some specific evidence for thinking so—and in that case you should email hn@ycombinator.com so we can look into it.

Note, however, that accounts posting opposing views on a topic doesn't count as evidence of astroturfing—only evidence that people have opposing views on the topic, which is the most routine of internet forum facts.

I’m not sure how you can use the internet to distribute your content and claim copyright over how the user consumes the content. You’re distributing code to a user. The user can interact with that code however they see fit via their browser. That is the nature of the internet. Anything else (I’m looking at you Washington Post Subscription Runtime) is trying to have things both ways.

Just because a content owner copyrights the content does not mean they can control the user’s environment once the content has been provided to the user - unless of course you own that too (cough Kindle cough). Thank God we still have options for web browsers.

Do you drink Soylent? You seem pretty joyless.
No, Amazon segregates its own inventory from FBA inventory for items where Amazon.com is the seller. FBA inventory only gets commingled with other FBA inventory.

Supposedly Amazon now maintains separate inventories for each FBA vendor at some but not all of their distribution warehouses (like their San Bernardino facility).
>Yes and Brave's argument is that if everyone acted like you, the web as we know it would collapse.

Maybe the people that rely on the ad supported, user data selling model that primarily destroys the privacy of technologically less advanced users should have thought about that before they started the invasive ad arms race?

So fewer people will make money unethically on the web. If we adopted Brave's point of view then making money from cryptolocker ransomware would be okay because only ignorant users would not have anti-virus and backups in place, so it's really the users fault.

Automating image annotation – using deep learning for deep learning
I got an invitation to test the iOS app, but cannot use it because my account was flagged as spam [1], which is weird because I have a long record of reputable open-source contributions. The only suspicious thing I did in recent days was reporting several spammers in a public Gist that contains instructions on how to crack SublimeText which is clearly illegal. It seems that GitHub’s anti-spam system mistakingly flagged my profile just because I reported these accounts, and now I am unable to use my account for anything relevant.

So much for being a good samaritan (sigh).

My wife is still using 2011 Macbook Pro. I did upgrade it to 16GB RAM (not officially supported but works fine), replaced the original HDD with SSD and installed HDD instead of DVD reader so it ended up with 1.5TB of storage. Works fine so far.
I'd be surprised if car accidents were randomly distributed.
But assuming GP is correct, or even assuming you are correct that it's an even bigger difference, I'd argue that both are way too high, and that the gun deaths even being in the same order of magnitude as car deaths is entirely preventable, and pretty shocking in itself.
Ask HN: Longest Google Downtimes
In spite of the recent Google downtimes - how long was the longest outage you experienced? For me, Google (Gmail, Search, Youtube, Calendar, Cloud, ...) is now down for more than five hours. North Rhine-Westphalia (17m inhabitants) in Germany seems to be the center of the outage.

Hi everyone, Chris, the founder of imgix here. We are just beginning to talk about what we are going to be rolling out over the next few months, so I wrote this piece about how and why we are moving in the directions we are moving, with a focus on explaining things from the developer perspective. There will be plenty more to follow so stay tuned. For the moment, I am happy to fill in any details that I can.
Exactly what I was thinking. We already have a problem with scammers claiming to be relatives who need some quick cash wired over. Imagine how much more effective that could be if it actually sound indistinguishable from a loved one.
Wow, reporters make squat. Editing is a bit more lucrative.
What would you have the Brave team do? Create a new html rendering engine from scratch? That is an incredibly challenging engineering project that would probably require years and many tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to do well, and what would be the benefit to Brave's users and investors? It would just lead to loads of performance and compatibility issues, and it is fundamentally irrelevant to the core value proposition of Brave, which is to monetize ads on behalf of users and content creators.
Now you can get your checking account shutdown when Google decides to exit the business, instead of just your profile
Because of the numerous chargebacks associated with plenty of people using other people's credit cards to make those donations.

They weren't taking a political stance. If Wikileaks supporters had used their own credit cards Wikileaks could still take donations by credit card.
Is the goal of the AI model to predict crime rates in a hypothetical world where everyone has equal rates of lead exposure?

What a terrible example. There are many other features being omitted that would predict crime rates. If anything, this is an example of enforcing your own bias on the model by not including all relevant features.

I hadn't given it much thought until your post, but on my 2017 13" MBP, here's how I seem to do it:

1. Put my right hand in approximately the correct location.

2. With my middle finger, find the space between the up/down keys.

3. Now my right hand's index finger is above the "left" key, and my right hand's ring finger is above the "right" key.
> I find some excellent Youtube channels, and i m sure google is not compensating them enough.

What is "enough" if not determined by the market?

Presumably these channel creators could leave YouTube and create their own websites and sell their own ads. If they're being grossly underpaid vs. the value that YouTube provides (largely in distribution and monetization) presumably they'd be doing that, but they're not. Why not?
You slide on the virtual key.
Yes-ish. You can put your own BAT (or Bitcoin or ETH) into your Brave wallet. You can buy BAT from Coinbase/Uphold/other exchanges.

Clean the data, normalize, make some multiple regressions and you may have something interesting

Edit: The data is honestly a mess. Good luck to anyone that want's to make any analysis. They should have done a proper form.
A more relevant example:

Person A: B raped a girl, so B doesn't tolerate women!

Person B: I did not!

Person C: I don't tolerate person B.

Person B's Friends: I don't tolerate person C since they broke the tolerance contract, B hasn't done anything.

Person C's friends: I don't tolerate B's friends since they broke the tolerance contract by not tolerating A.

Does this sound familiar? It was the start of the Tulsa massacre. If you say that "intolerance of intolerance" is a good thing then I take it that you think that the Tulsa massacre was warranted, since they were just intolerant of intolerant people right?

Edit: Or in the case of for example Damore:

Person A: There are inherent differences between group A and group B, so likely not all differences we see between them are due to discrimination.

Person B: I don't tolerate A's intolerance, he is clearly bigoted and thus broke the contract!

Person C: I don't tolerate B's intolerance, A might be misguided but didn't really show intolerance.

A, B and C now starts a verbal war causing several people to get fired on both sides before it calms down.
Up until almost 5 years ago, before switching to a Macbook Pro, I used to have various laptops with both Windows and Ubuntu. Here's my belief: A non-Apple laptop that lasts 2+ years, without having to be regularly formatted, without improving the hardware, without giving up performance or needing who knows what kind of tweaking/cleaning, upgrade after upgrade, is a myth. It doesn't exist.

Sure, I know plenty of people who've had the same Lenovo/HP/whatever laptop for 5, even 10 years but every single time I personally used their laptop I was embarassed at how bad the experience was. Sluggish, ugly, with fans spinning like they needed to put out a fire.

After almost 5 years the 13" 2015 Macbook Pro I'm currently writing on hasn't lost one beat. It's as snappy and as usable as the very first day. I haven't formatted once, I've easily kept it up to date, I only replaced the battery because it was lasting 4 hours instead of the original 6-7. I can still edit videos, run VMs, play not-too-demanding games, do Photoshop, like the first day I bought it. And everything makes me think I'll be able to do so for the next 2-3 years, at least.

I've travelled with it to 10 countries and dropped it 5 or 6 times. There are multiple dents on the corners but, damn, this thing is tough!

The function of gift-giving was an early topic of social anthropology, a classic treatment being Mauss' _Essai sur la Don_ [1]. It contains the (to me) stunning Inuit proverb "Gifts make slaves like whips make dogs" - gift-giving binds the recipient to the giver, it leaves them obligated. Which is not the rosy picture we have of it, but worth thinking about in this context (or any other).
