> And lots of people are investing lots of time and effort into trying to fix that problem

Are they? I worked in the mental health space for over 10 years and almost 80% of therapists are women -- and a vast majority of those are white women. There hasn't been any significant movement to "fix" that despite a very compelling argument that finding a therapist who is a good match to a patient is fundamental to the success of treatment -- there's actually a scientific case to be made that more diversity in mental health care is beneficial to outcomes. However, there's little evidence that "more women" designing silicon chips has any measurable benefit (or harm.) Having more women (and old people, and people from different cultural backgrounds) involved in UX design is definitely valuable -- but more women writing back-end server code or designing airplane wings has little effect either good or bad.

Women vastly outnumber men in the social sciences and in education however, "We need more men kindergarten teachers" has never been a serious initiative. Getting more women into commercial fishing, oil field work, plumbing, or over-the-road trucking has never been seriously pursued. But "computer science" -- it's a damned obsession with people of certain politics.

It's a fact that men and women are different, both biologically and socially. Women can certainly be exceptional computer workers and men could be great therapists or kindergarten teachers -- but that doesn't mean they necessarily want those things nor are they necessarily pre-disposed with the characteristics necessary for success in those fields. It's a fact, for example, that there are gender differences in spatial reasoning. That doesn't mean all men are better than all women at spatial reasoning, but it does mean that men have a statistically higher success with spatial reasoning than do women as a group. Women have their own advantages over men as well. There is nothing wrong with differences and it has gotten stupid how people insist on claiming that everyone is equal. They're not. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

This insistence that we have to "fix" the "problem" is just woke nonsense. We should absolutely, 100% end discrimination in the professions -- no question or debate there. But we should stop trying to force equality as an outcome. Let people gravitate towards the things they're good at or care about instead of trying to social engineer everything to please some imaginary ideal. If a girl wants to hack on compilers -- we should get out of her way (i.e. removing bias and discrimination) and let her do it. But we shouldn't be focused on going into third-grade classrooms and trying to convince girls that they should care about hacking on compilers. We should be focused on exposing every student to vast possibilities, but we don't need to force it down people's throats as a social imperative.

They've got momentum on their side now, but intel won't bow down without a fight. I expect we'll see some real innovation over the next five years.
That's a helluva analogy. But I like it. More to the overall point, I find it incredibly ironic that while the world is constantly talking about diversity, uniqueness, and all those wonderful things, everyone is simultaneously trying to dress the same and literally look alike.
Problem that m1 is going to have imo now is the once a day trading window. The value proposition for this market has seriously changed with the big player move to free trades, and fractional shares are a good wedge since the bigger players don’t have that. But now m1 is a smaller player with more restrictions than m1, and it’s going to be tough.

> That is an amazingly quick review of an appeal for something that is pretty complicated.

In general the way large corporations have gotten so friendly with their regulatory oversight should be a cause of concern for everyone in every industry. The FAA and Boeing don't necessarily need to be at each other's throats, but I would argue that a professional-level adversarial relationship would be ideal. That's not what's happening here.

Unlikely to happen here seeing that unemployment is at a 50 year low and wages are rising.
The claimed problem that exists however is... lame. It really boils to "if it doesn't look like C, I'm not learning it", which is a fairly pathetic argument, and not one that can actually be bested with any targeted marketing or discussion.

Most developers only learn a new language because they're forced to: at work, or joining an existing project as part of their hobby, or because the library they need requires it, or because its the only option available to them. At the point, the fact that it looks like C, or doesn't, won't matter. And they'll get over it. No one claims Nginx/Apache DSL is great, or terribly C-like. Or even really claim that its un-C-like. But I'll reluctantly learn it (to a minimum need) because I want my damned site up. Most languages are learned like that.

Developers who learn a new language for the sake of learning a new language will likely not be drawn in by it being C-like syntax, or not. At least, most who've gone around that rodeo a few times will quickly realize that the superficial syntax isn't that interesting -- It takes 20 minutes to learn the syntax (maybe not APL). You're in it for the different semantics.

What you need for mass lisp adoption is to get a hype cycle going, and pathetic justifications for parenthesis isn't going to get you there. Babbling about how hyper-parameterized cooperatively consistent parenthesized datastructures will change the world is likely more effective.
Human made geographical boundaries (borders) are usually artificial, and they certainly can impact freedom of people on both sides. Unfortunately, solving immigration and creating "one world" is exceedingly difficult or even impossible - especially when most countries (including the US) still have enough corruption that they are internally broken without even considering pressure from immigration.
> But they were once just as stereotypically male as tech is now, and yet have radically shifted their gender balance.

You say this as if the fields themselves decided, but it could just as easily be that women pushed in harder.

> Fifty years ago people would no doubt have told you that women just weren't interested in becoming lawyers or doctors.

Again, what was the difference? You've suggested a relative difference in sexism at the time, but I've seen no data suggesting this. It just looks like a guess on your part.
Tardigrade from Storj is the closest thing in production to solve decentralized data storage: https://tardigrade.io/

The user pays the storage cost upfront. However it is suitable only for file like content, not mutable content like databases AFAIK.
This could be a startup. There are already local neighborhood watches where people sync up their cameras and added some AI to tag and identify cars. I think part of it was done to track porch pirates.
That’s the great thing about democracy, though — you don’t have to march in the streets to effect change, you can simply vote for it.
Best thing you should do: consult a patent attorney.

Given that, anything that is published publicly, and upon which a date of publication can be proven, can serve as prior art for a patent.

But, also keep in mind that after one year, your movie would also block you yourself from patenting the material in the movie as well.
I've brainstormed with some people about trying reinforcement learning. It's not a direction I'm prioritizing anytime soon, but if you're interested in this, I'm happy to adjust the sim and analysis layer to make this as easy as possible.

If you have an hour, I'd highly recommend giving this a watch. It is really sad to see any form of media die forever at the whim of a corporation. Games are especially prone to this unfortunately
When it became known that google was penalizing blogs for linking to others, link rolls / blogrolls started shrinking. Not too much later less and less blogs would appear in google results.

I miss the time we found and shared random gems are greatness through blog rolls.

Bring back the webrings! ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21328084 )

Some time ago wordpress took the 'blogroll' post type out of core completely, and still today there are people asking for an embedded 'nofollow' tag adder in the core editor - and still it hasn't been done, though it's available in a plugin.

Unforseen side effects perhaps, adds to silencing / hiding the web that would otherwise be more freely shared.

Which is one of the things have led to RSS being less of a sought after thing.
imho.

How to distinguish between "I didn't know that was a feasible choice for me" and "I know what programming is like and I don't want to do that as a career"?

The problem is the the private sector keeps expanding the amount of data it wants to collect. The other day a store clerk demanded ID from me to buy cough medicine - not the kind you can get high from, just generic honey+lemon flavor powdered acetaminophen (I think the branded version is Theraflu). When challenged the clerk said they can't sell it to people under 18. I'm nearly 50. There's no legal requirement for this in my state, I checked.
Something you know.
Something you have.

The typical two factor is a password (know) and SMS to a cellphone or code to an email (have).

...though that creates a vulnerability when the cell number can be ported, or the same password is used to access email... better to use authenticator apps or a physical "key".
I suggest working on ones weaknesses such as concentration.

I like to work with quite but share an open workspace. Learn to tune out distractions by focusing.

Key example last week had a staff retreat to a bowling alley. I don't much like bowling so fired up Lichess on my phone. Tons of noise, talking and pins falling all around me but I'd rather focus on the game at hand and tune out distractions.

I suspect decades of karate training has helped build my ability to focus myself as needed.
I hear what you're saying. But the enemy will poison the minds of gen pop with such messages. Divide and conquer is the one true strategy to the game.

Drawing these lines proverbially is akin to perforating our social fabric. Lots of small holes, that left untouched, provide the strength to maintain structure. But once enough of those dots are connected by tears, it's usually too late to rebuild without starting from scratch.

As citizens, we have the right to argue that BOTH angles apply. Whether one out weighs another is significantly less consequential in the heat of battle. Navigating the seas, making progress towards your goal, that should remain the focus when having discussions that often gets lost. IMHO at least

I don't quite understand the appeal of investing via phone app. Investing my life savings (any any amount really) is one of the few things I would absolutely not want to do on a phone touchscreen.

Absolutely not. I don't want police anywhere near my community.

> Robert Martin talks about how in the 60's and 70's women made up a large amount of the worlds programmers. It would seem somewhere along the way we found ways to significantly reduce the number of women entering the profession. I would argue that any biological reasons have little to no influence compared to social factors. If we accept this alternative theory, then the solution is to change the social culture around STEM to not be so exclusionary.

First of all, the peak of women's representation in computing was ~35% - not all that much different from today's 20-25%. Second, even if we accept that social changes are what prompted the change in women's representation (and I would agree) it is erroneous to assume that this was due to exclusionary culture in technology. In fact, the data suggests the opposite - reductions in sexism result in reductions in the share of women in tech.

This is likely what played out in the united states. Women were displayed into computing due to sexism in other fields. Several of the women interviewed in Clive Thompson's book Coders, explained that they chose to study computer science because law firms told them explicitly that they would not let women be trial lawyers. The reduction in the share of women in computing was due to the opening of opportunities in other fields like law and medicine, which in turn meant that women who would have been displaced into computing now have the opportunity to study the field of their choice.
Well, it's doubtful it would be based completely on merit in either scenario.
Because if it isn’t, you can make more by going to a company that pays more - not by killing your self working 60 hour weeks and giving up everything else.
There seems to be some confusion between layers and AOP. Layers are a static mechanism - all the layers are composed to a final program before compilation. The layers have no effect at runtime (unlike AOP). If the all the layers are composed (tangled) without the '#line' directives, the code should look (and be) the same as a normally-written program. Modifying the program most likely will require adding a new layer. (If "layer" == "git commit" then this is only option under existing programming practice.) Programming with layers means the programmer has the additional option of modifying previous layers. Whether this can scale to large programs is an open (and interesting) question.
The theoretical problems with deep convnets are far worse than with traditional reconstruction algorithms. They have a far greater capacity to hallucinate or have unexpected behavior on new inputs (see GANS, or the imagenet-c dataset where by simply adding a little motion blur they nuked resnet performance)
The goal is to extract more revenue from the consumer, losing ownership is largely a byproduct of that.
more than a little convenient that the male-chosen professions seem to generally pay significantly more

It’s not a coincidence at all. Men place a higher priority on pay to the exclusion of all else, when choosing a career, than do women. Women are much more likely to choose careers with flexible working hours, benefits, and the potential to help other people (positive externalities).

When you look at it this way, it makes more sense that you’ll find men occupying all these different high paying positions. It makes a lot less sense that every employer deliberately pays less for women-dominated positions just because there are women there.
The first example is missing the scope brackets likely enclosing the expressions, and there should probably be a few semi-colons.
“National treasures” lol. And Disney isn’t quite as consumer-hostile as FB.
Almost as if men and women hold different preferences.
One important thing to keep in mind about users encrypting their own messages: those encrypted messages will be impossible to discern from random bits.

This means if I send the message "f734fca50971f301786eaf0ee0de900f" there is no way to tell if I'm breaking the law or not unless we also outlaw sending random bits.
Does it count that I want to be surprised by it?

I'm always curious to know how a product holds up after a year or two, especially with more expensive items. A portable battery could have rave reviews, but if it dies after a year then I'll look elsewhere.

I never read/watch music reviews. If I hear about an artist or song then I'll listen myself and will be able to tell pretty quickly if I like them or not.
It’s worse than this. Unnecessary biopsies, extra tests with associated risks and misdiagnosis etc are all part of any screening procedure.
Whole body MR scanning also lacks the resolution and quality of dedicated body site scans. As with everything, if you ask a good question you get a better answer. ‘Is there a problem in this person?’ Is not a good question.
While I agree with your points, I'd also point you to the bait Amazon package experiment by Mark Rober (find it on YT) that pretty much caught people that by any objective standards were just a-holes who did it just because it was an easy crime to get away with, and got some sort of thrill out of it.

But yeah, I'm totally for addressing the underlying societal causes of crime (the reasons otherwise decent people are driven by desperation to commit them), rather than just addressing the "symptoms"... enforcement and punishment is reactive and IMO does little to actually deter further/future crime.
First, your A-B situation is not a reality for most of engineers.

Second, if you want to dedicate 10 years of your life to work, make money and retire early - it's a reasonable choice for many. But if it goes into 40s - why do you need money, if you would not be able to enjoy it constantly working? Your money may go straight to doctors and psychotherapists eventually.
I heard that particular module was licensed differently. Is that correct?
> What are the "serious efforts" made by medical and law industries that got women into these professions that STEM has not employed?

More than that, what "cultural changes" did they enact? From what I've read of the history, culture only shifted after women achieved rough gender parity. Cultural shifts follow demographic shifts, not vice versa.

And even now, gender disparities exist that can't be explained by sexist theories. For instance, why is surgery dominated by men and pediatrics dominated by women?

Sexist theories have a lot of holes like these gender disparities within fields and the gender equality paradox that's the subject of this article. And yet, there's a theory that explains all of the data we see:

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.0018...

This theory relegates sexism to a minor role, perhaps affecting single digit differences in gender disparities, not the double digits we actually see.
I tried to do something similar as one of my final year project with something similar ( keyword and category monitoring ) with a future H-index prediction ranking model, which I think is a more unique approach. The issue with arxiv monitoring is that the only way to obtain the latest submission is through their RSS feed ( correct me if i am wrong ) which luckily I have a running scraper service handling for myself. However the abstract and author from RSS feed isn’t enough, you need to parse PDF for meta info and conference submission as well. As a researcher I think we usually are more interested in new approach or ideas which definitely bring quite a lot of attention until it just pops up around social media ( twitter usually). If you simply want keyword notification service google scholar and semantic scholar already did it quite well. Semantic scholar also have their own API which is slightly better than Arxiv source

> In four studies, Bowles and collaborators from Carnegie Mellon found that people penalized women who initiated negotiations for higher compensation more than they did men. The effect held whether they saw the negotiation on video or read about it on paper, whether they viewed it from a disinterested third-party perspective or imagined themselves as senior managers in a corporation evaluating an internal candidate. Even women penalized the women who initiated the conversation, though they also penalized the men who did so. They just didn’t seem to like seeing someone ask for more money.

It depends on what your threshold is for supernormality.

I would say no; bone flutes are among the oldest human artifacts, we may have been making music for as long as we've been using language.

There is, on the other hand, a clear supernormal 'vibe' to pop music, which has been tuning in since the 80s. If you look at the waveform of a contemporary pop song, it looks like a brick: everything has been compressed and condensed to fill the available audioscape.

Except it means unbounded growth in complexity, which inevitably leads to, among other things,

- More bugs

- More vulnerabilities

- Increasing cost of support

Which absolutely impact the customer experience, just not in the short-term. A little bit of short-term friction averts long-term intractability.

It appears that in searches one cannot use double quotes to search for a phrase. I tried searching for "Lenstra Lenstra Lovasz" and got lotsa papers which cite only a Lenstra.
Most of them are implemented through Apex clearing.
Exactly and that’s why this is not a good first place for convnets to be used in the workflow of a radiologist. They should be working alongside the radiologist, not somewhere where it’s impossible for the radiologist to examine what happened.
How many engineers are represented in the media in general? Has there been a hit TV show with male engineers as the main character?
I think the issue is not the hardware needed but simply the cost of the extra compute. Linux doesn't have an "official" CI server but relies on third parties running it, and none of them want to spend $ on compute for an architecture they will never use.
Sure, but the ones that pay the bills are servers and companies which don't care one bit about i386.
It's true that men tend to hold more of the physically dangerous professions, but the ones well known for being high paying, like software engineering or finance, generally don't fit that model.
Especially if you use a few thousand proxies.
Please tell me this was a multi-year grudge.
What you say makes logical sense but I couldn't find any supporting sources for the idea that spending money abroad on foreign goods is equivalent to forex trades for tax purposes.
I doubt that many 18 y/o males are fine with it since that doubles the chances that they'll be forced to enroll in the military for very little pay. I'm sure most other people would prefer that 18 y/o males continue to be the selectively signed up and have no problem with females not doing the same. Imho though, either everyone should be forced to enroll or no one should - most military workers are support staff anyway.
What funny timing! I'm a fellow space-nerd and just signed up for your newsletter a couple of weeks ago — it's fabulously done! Bravo.
This makes no sense. The bulk of the ABI compatibility is not in the kernel, and Linus's mantra of "not breaking userspace" hardly applies to applications from the Linux Foundation's most paying members. The bulk of the ABI for Linux applications comes from libc and other libraries.

The one case where breaking ABI would make things so much easier is y2038 but it only applies to 32-bit systems, again nothing that matters to the Oracles and SAPs.
We are agreeing, I think.
Well, I'm undecided. Since I'm beginning the process of shifting my machines from Linux to BSD, my inclination is to use BSD if I can. If there's a showstopper there, then I'll go with Debian.
Thanks to all (so far & in the future) for your insight. It's very appreciated.
