> from what I gathered it is far less about rule following and fear than for example christianity

That probably depends on which sect of Christianity you're talking about. Protestants generally believe that one's actions do not actually cause one to be saved; instead it is faith in Jesus alone that provides salvation. This bothered people for the obvious reasons, with various attempts to walk back the extreme antinomian interpretation, e.g. "one's actions demonstrate that he has faith in salvation".

On the other hand, in Buddhism the escape from samsara is fundamentally tied to one's actions, not simply one's thoughts or beliefs.
Yes, advocating for improvements in labor conditions is protected.

No, creating a hostile work environment in the course of such advocacy is not protected, no matter how many scientists back you up. I recommend you read the NLRB decision: https://apps.nlrb.gov/link/document.aspx/09031d45826e6391

You could dress up wargaming mechanics with more peaceful dressing. Renowned Explorers has a rock-paper-scissors system using brute force, taunting, and diplomacy, and each encounter can provide different rewards depending on which method was most heavily used, more or less.

There's something essentially analytical that underpins wargames and assessing, e.g. unit strengths and weaknesses, which is good mental practice for plenty of peaceful applications as well.

> but even on the desktop you can now see how a block in IO hog app can visibly freeze your system for few seconds.

Or worse. I ran into an issue when copying an image from an NVME drive to a USB drive using `cat` (e.g. `cat somefile.img >/dev/sdX`) where mouse performance (also a USB device) became so sluggish that the desktop was unusable until the copy was complete.

This wasn't the only instance where background I/O brought my desktop to it's knees. In another instance it was copying a large file across the network (Gigabit Ethernet) to a file server. The network was saturated and the desktop was unusable. I think that the remote system was the destination but my recollection could be in error. The network interface is a PCI device and there was no USB device involved in this transfer.

This is on Debian Stable and using the Gnome desktop. The non-standard portion of the system is that it runs off a ZFS filesystem. I don;t know if that matters.

I'd like to know where to look and how to diagnose this issue if/when it crops up again. Interrupt storm? USB driver issue? Some other issue resulting in some resource starvation? (In neither case did overall CPU load appear high.)
Are you aware that Damore's memo was only sent to a specialized group of people who were specifically interested in diversity issues, and everything that happened thereafter (leading up to his firing) was the result of people leaking his memo in an abridged version which deleted all references to the actual science? Someone was very clearly creating a "hostile" work environment, right then and there - but it wasn't Damore.
There is simply NO excuse to use anti-cheat rootkits. Machine learning is starting to be mainstream and soon there will be bots interacting with HID like humans, with all anti-cheat running. You simply can't trust anonymous clients, never. Anti-cheat won't change that. You have to implement the game so that the actual players know each other and invite each other to the game, eventually kicking/blocking some themselves. Or simply play competition games on the local LAN. Or simply admit there will be cheaters on the public anonymous games. Blocking Linux is a terrible, terrible practice and they should be boycotted.
There is a lot to unfold in the manpages. See lsof.

A lesson for us all to actually look at the documentation.

But I find that it's easy to miss to read them for some reason, we rather read one SO response instead (that eventually lead straight back to the manpage). Which is interesting in itself. Must we invent the wheel all the time rather than using the shipped documentation? Or am I alone in falling in that trap?

I tried to understand the point Damore was pushing, but I faiked because all I could see was some crazy opinion not supported by my experience in tech.

My kind interpretation is that Damore really wasnt talking about gender at all. Because what you say does not seem gender specific.
Not saying I can't say that here. Just keeping with the style of the report here. I mean, I don't think I'm obscuring anything, literally mentioning arson in the next breath.

I just had the one comment, I don't spend my lonely hours refreshing the threads page on HN, waiting for people to complain about the way something is said rather than addressing it.

Who cares who is "cowardly" for not writing everything purely literally? Given that the incentives are there, and the most important part of a root cause analysis, the root cause, is missing, what makes you think it isn't the one thing they have an interest in obscuring?

I mean, I basically yelled arson, how much am I obscuring?

It is pretty clear the evidence, although one should call it an observation, is that brain stimulation through change, challenging and active learning activities kept an individual's cognitive abilities higher than peers who have gone through less brain stimulations.

It's sharing this observation, not very scientific as it would need larger samples and better controlled environment but it's an interesting anecdote. Many of us perhaps see the same trend.

I think it's pretty clear that not stimulating your brain lead to drop of cognitive abilities. Parallels are made between a trainned muscle and a trainned brain. We teach kids to memorise poems to stimulate their memory. We forget about stimulation as we grow older, we tend to retire and accept the status quo that there is the active career and some day we quit and no one expect anything to be done as retired folks.

I find my own cognitive abilities dropping after a few months of slope into brain laziness. I find my cognitive speed and performance increased after a few months of rather intense focus on multiple challenging projects. I also find myself unable to perform at high cognitive levels, drop of concentration if I've been on a burn up for months without much brain rest and relaxing time. Again perhaps a good parallel with how muscles performance works.

Anecdotes are interesting, as they help see trends when in correlation with other anecdotes. I rarely hear stories about the opposite phenomenon.

I wish they fired people for doing pop ups, that would be Nice.
I found the atmosphere in the new Blade Runner quite captivating. Post-apocalyptic is a bit of a harsh word. Apocalypse as a concept is human centric, and humanity survived; it's the surrounding ecosystems that collapsed. Humanity died in that it was redefined as independent of the planet.

In 2049 the cities are somewhat sterile and you don't feel the masses of people living in it, but it's like that already today. In a city with 10+ million people you don't fall over each other when walking down the street. Usually the city is just big enough to compensate for high population. Sure you can have slums, but that wasn't explored in the movie, as far as I can remember.

And this likeness to today's cities is what left the biggest impression with me. That you can have the planet dead in some meaningful way and have a lifestyle so much like ours now. It reminds me of fact that most of our current ways of living in a metropolis are alredy geared towards being independent of non-city eco-systems.
An approach for speedy tree walking on a remote fileshare
Leaving interpretability and conspiracy theories about softy PhDs aside, for a bit, "SOTA advances" are not progress. e.g., in the last seven years since AlexNet, results have kept creeping upwards by tiny fractions on the same old datasets (or training times and costs have gone down) all of which is achieved by slight tweaks to the basic CNN architecture and perhaps better training techniques, or, of course more compute. But there has not been any substantial progress in fundamental algorithmic techniques- no new alternative to backpropagation, no radically new architectures that go beyond convolutional filters.

But I'll let Geoff Hinton himself explain why the reliance on state-of-the-art results is effectively hamstringing progress in the field:

GH: One big challenge the community faces is that if you want to get a paper published in machine learning now it's got to have a table in it, with all these different data sets across the top, and all these different methods along the side, and your method has to look like the best one. If it doesn’t look like that, it’s hard to get published. I don't think that's encouraging people to think about radically new ideas.

Now if you send in a paper that has a radically new idea, there's no chance in hell it will get accepted, because it's going to get some junior reviewer who doesn't understand it. Or it’s going to get a senior reviewer who's trying to review too many papers and doesn't understand it first time round and assumes it must be nonsense. Anything that makes the brain hurt is not going to get accepted. And I think that's really bad.

What we should be going for, particularly in the basic science conferences, is radically new ideas. Because we know a radically new idea in the long run is going to be much more influential than a tiny improvement. That's I think the main downside of the fact that we've got this inversion now, where you've got a few senior guys and a gazillion young guys.

Hold up. Bias is being used in two different manners because it has two differed meanings. When you are using bias in industry you are talking about a minor mathematical factor added to a learning rate. When we talk about human bias, we aren't.

I read the memo and you are right. I also agree with GP about reaping what you sow.

However, I suspect that a lot of people will fail to see the parallels between both stories because their political beliefs requires them to engage in cognitive dissonance.

I just take solace in the fact that there are some folks out there that can look at these type of issues logically.

Damore wasn't encouraging discrimination, hate or violence on any group of people in his memo. I know this because I actually read the thing and I didn't rely on the second hand account of an perpetually outraged group of people who are disproportionately loud.

I loathe every login screen except for Google's. Why is it that only one company in the world (and sshd but there's no login screen when set up properly) can get it right? Is it really a piece of software that requires hundreds of millions of dollars to get right?

The Dalai Lama has a book called, “The Universe in A Single Atom”. He’s incredibly interested in science, quantum physics in particular, and in the book he explores the intersection between those ideas and the ideas of various Buddhist thinkers throughout history. It’s really good.
With all due respect to the author, I don't follow the logic of many of the claims in the article.

> However, consider enforcing the Vaccine License: imagine explaining to a judge that someone consented to be injected with vaccine by using a piece of software, and that they become copyright infringers by failing to get their shots.

Lets imagine a too small child illegally entering a amusement park ride that has a minimum height requirement, and an accident happens. The park owner do not need to explain to a judge how the child agreed to inject growth hormones by entering the ride. The requirement does not specify the way of how an individual may achieve compliance, only the measurable state which compliance may be determined.

The Vaccine License is no more complicated than licenses that specific that you can't ship software to countries which the US has an export ban in regard to encryption. The export ban specific a target demographic which the software can not be sold and/or use it. The Vaccine License specific a target demographic which may not copy it, and/or use it.

The second argument brought up is that you can't sue a citizen of sovereign countries for behavior that their governments do. Again we can look at US export bans. you don't need to enforce the condition by suing people in those countries. It is generally enough that international companies has to follow the condition.

The third argument is that since none of these licenses routinely require any royalties, the likely damages by infringers would be zero. That is not how damages get calculated. Existing royalties can be used as a guideline, but the common argument is to claim damages based on "industry standard". If a infringer publish unreleased work (say a copyrighted movie before release) it also has no existing royalties, but that hasn't stopped judges from issuing rather high damages. Context matter in court cases.

The forth argument being that the term was illegal, improper or unenforceable. As someone who has been standing on that side of the fence in regard to EULAs and privacy policies I sincerely wish it was so.

That basically leaves the last argument that enforcing licenses are too costly. I fully agree. Its like shoplifting which has less than 1% clearing rate. A lot of shop owners where I live have stopped even reporting thefts because they find the time doing the phone call is most costly than its worth. This is one place where personal principles has to weight more than financial sense. If someone steal your stuff, be that in a shop or a copyright, then you file a police report. It will likely not result in anything but it is better than nothing.

You clearly do not understand the entire history of the memo and seek to rewrite what occured to fit your naive narrative that an essay written about men being better with things and women being better with people isn't an insult to a company filled with women engineers let alone the fact that the authors of every single paper he quoted have refuted his claims as taking their meanings out of context to suit Damore's claims.

The line between crackpottery and genius is a fine one. If blogs had existed in 1900 and a certain patent clerk had written a post on his ideas about clock synchronization somehow being related to electromagnetism, many would have dismissed him as a crackpot as well.

The questions this article relates to are among the most profound and difficult that human reason has ever attempted to confront. I think one should be careful in labeling such ambitious speculation as crackpottery just because it doesn't yet amount to a fully coherent and formally testable theory.

If what you're measuring are random delays due to default scheduling and flawed code implementation, calling it "garbage" should give the author and others pause to think. In some cases, one need to establish a boundary, so as to not waste time and efforts into an endless discussion on flawed premises.

Explaining why and educating about the concepts, is the better approach, and was there as well. Short and concise would be best, while limiting the negative to exactly what need be pointed out: A spade is a spade after all.

There is so much beauty in those screenshots. The more technology advances, the more elegant old machines appear.

Even though the UI's are largely text, in some ways they make a greater effort to communicate with the user than many of today's "best practices."

In this case, it's both big things like the verbosity of the command responses, and little things like the beautiful font with its crossed sevens. More information above the page scroll? The top of the window gets a jagged edge like a torn piece of paper. (The anti-skeuomorphic crowd should avert its eyes.)

Also notice how technical information is expressed in human terms. How much memory is left? 11,334 "words." I know that a word can also be a technical term, and I don't know if that's the context being used here, but there were other programs of the era that translated bytes into human-thinkable words, so it's possible that this is doing the same.

Along those same lines, notice how an unknown or unexpected time is expressed as "forever" and not %NAN% like I see everywhere from airport status boards to AppleTV. It reminds me of AmigaDOS, which in directory listings could report file access as "Yesterday at 6pm" or "Tuesday at 1:35am." This could even be extended. My friend's A1000 showed file dates like "Last Christmas."

It's a kind of attention to detail that is missing in higher systems today, even though today's machines have far more horsepower to make it happen.

Sun had SunRay terminals with smartcards that allowed users to seemlessly move from terminal to terminal.

Being Solaris only means that only a few of us ever saw what could be done and how easy logins and moving from terminal to terminal could be.
