Thanks for your reply, but I fail to see how a dictatorship would do worst things with these recordings than a democracy, say like the USA, UK or France, where intelligence services operate outside the law as Snowden (and many others) have shown over the last decade.

Also, I see that I'm being downvoted and I would be really interested to know why I'm wrong. I mean it, I love the level of discussion here and I really like constructive criticsm.
Most of the world's employees aren't software devs who get annoyed by.. (insert one of many things here)

This is a really important point. Time and time again I see lengthy discussions on Hacker News around various topics (especially relating to advertising and marketing) where the consensus isn't even vaguely a majority viewpoint in the wider world, and it's useful to be able to focus on the big picture.
Oh, thanks. well maybe I’m wrong about the amount of for profit hospitals, I’ll look into it. I realize now that I could have left that part out in my rant. Either way, non profits are affected the same way from lack of traffic/ volume.
Now that I think about it, most of my complaints about LinkedIn is about the "news feed". Its full of mostly useless content by wannabe thought leaders drowning out a few posts which may have been insightful/relevant. Job search and add/message connections are the only features I have found useful.
The issue is the no knock warrant, which are disproportionately used against black people.

Why is that suspicious?
I would never have gotten in contact with the external recruiters who eventually landed me 4/6 of the jobs I have had since 2008.

I definitely wouldn’t have been contacted by an internal recruiter at $BigTech that led to the remote job that I will be starting in July.

My LinkedIn profile is relatively bare. I definitely use it passively. It has just enough keywords to get noticed by recruiters searching.
The main abstraction costs are excess DRAM and overprovisioning, and those don't come from wear levelling but the block abstraction layer (aka. pretending to support random writes). So where there used to be a buzz around ‘open-channel SSDs’, that give a lot of this control and responsibility to the host, but often just meant the host is absorbing all those costs, the hot new thing is ‘zoned namespaces’, which keep wear levelling on the host, but provide an API without totally random writes that maps well to hardware, and that seems to be a much better trade-off.

Often the oral histories are general or associated with distinct features. If we're talking about broader areas, I think the key ones would be protected already or not signed over to a mining company. My point was that these don't sound like distinct places, else I'd guess images would aid the public cause in pressuring mining companies.

Haha, the Swap-a-roo method used to work with some old HP inkjets. You needed 3 old cartridges iirc, install one, power on, install the second, install the third.

That's it, the next one you install would be considered "new" and would work. Apparently the printers kept track of the cartridge IDs but had a short memory.

Refill all of them and use until they start leaking (so, years of constant refills). Simpler times.

Yes it is.

Maybe in marxist writings, but it isn't a 'well-documented fact'.

>More powerful[1] people are more insulated from the consequences of their ignorance.

And that statement is factually wrong in the general case. I made this argument to another poster: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479872

>Some people receive less blow-back for their misbehavior than others, because of their position in society.

Talk about a truism. Yes, some people receive less blow-back for their misbehavior due to their position in society.

It could be the case that one individual receives blow-back for this misbehaviour because, for example, they are in a position of responsibility whereas someone who isn't, wouldn't. That happens all the time. How about this, in my city, vagrancy is completely unpunished, even though it's illegal, but you're going to get tagged if you let your chihuahua off-leash in an empty park. Are homeless people privileged? Under a colloquial reading of definition, they sure are. But we know you don't mean that because you're importing extreme Leftist ideas into this definition and being dishonest that you are doing that.

The problem of disproportionate representation is a problem whether you're using technology or not. It's not a new problem or specific to tech. If a large percentage of dangerous interactions a police officer has with an individual fits a certain profile (e.g. the third party was a man), the police officer will likely exhibit a different set of behaviors when dealing with that party. Sometimes it's appropriate, many times it's not. Same is true for judges and others in the system and you'll see stricter sentencing for certain groups. This results can lead to a self-reinforcing cycle of oppression.

The difference is with technology these biases can at least try to be addressed directly and create an objective more fair system.
The advantage of GraphQL is that the code for each API endpoint, which depends on frontend design (e.g. how many comments should be visible by default on a collapsed Facebook story), is now part of the frontend codebase (as a GraphQL query, that is then automatically extracted and moved to the backend), and thus frontend and backend development are no longer entangled.

Without it or a similar system frontend developers have to ask backend developers to create or modify an API endpoint every time the website is redesigned.

Also, it allows to combine data fetching for components and subcomponents automatically without having to do that manually in backend code, and automatically supports fine-grained caching of items.

Those aren't hard to do if you declare up front what schema you need to conform to.

I'm working on a REST code generator (generates a Go backend and a typescript/react frontend) that reads your postgres/MySQL schema and some additional metadata you provide (should auth be enabled? Which table is the users table and which columns are username and password stored as bcrypt). I'm still working on authorization part but basically optional per-endpoint logic DSL for simple stuff and optional Go hooks for more complex stuff.

Why would you trust Google with that though?
Three of the Big 5 tech companies (no Netflix doesn’t count) had internal recruiters randomly reached out to me in the last three months while the local job market has cratered. Without LinkedIn, I wouldn’t have even pursued the (remote) job I am starting in July with $BigTech.

Even before that all of the local external recruiters I’ve found have been through LinkedIn.
Thanks, I see now that I overstated the number of for profit hospitals. You are right, though. They all depend on us using them.
We're exploring a GraphQL serv(er/ice) for an internal back office system. It needs to combine multiple APIs into a single GraphQL interface. And everything just breaks apart :) (we have PoCs in C# and Java for now).

> Variable names should be short, and in my controversial opinion, as short as possible. Long variable names actually make code more difficult to understand, not easier. Rob Pike talks about it in the Practice of Programming, and it's a common tenant among APL/J/K programmers as well.

But as short as possible doesn't mean:

> Make your variable names abbrevations or acronyms, like instead of 'convertInt', call it 'ci'.

'ci' has no meaning. It is not a possible name for 'convertInt' because 'ci' is not a name. I have to visit the function to determine what 'ci'-ing something does. In 'ci', in turn, I'll have to deal with more minified code.

Current self driving car technology is sufficient for most purposes, except to actually drive on roads. So for those walking robots, can they run or even walk through a crowd without hitting people? A normal 15 year old human can do it, and that is the level you need to be to release it among people.
I’m of the opinion that it’s not just ‘like’ money. It is money. Firstly, there are people from ‘community organizations’ that get paid to AstroTurf as their full time job. Secondly, those organizations wouldn’t get funding in the first place if some big company didn’t somehow depend on their political action to maintain their profits.

Your phrasing suggests a comparison between 1. a finished building and 2. the process of making a piece of software.. of course there is no comparison.

If you look at a more apples to apples comparison, ie. designing (and in that I would include designing the process of building) a bespoke building. Designing a building is about structuring a building process, a business process, a living process, a manufacturing process, or public interface, a place of work, or life, or learning or wonder, all within or about the confines of a building.

Even simple bespoke buildings bring together hundreds of thousands or even millions of parts which have never been put together in this way or by these particular people before. You have to consider how all these materials fit together, behave together, how they degrade over time, their warranties, their performance, how they will get removed, replaced, disposed of. You have to consider how buildings will be modified, or inhabited or changed over time (because if you can't change it, it will be knocked down).

You have to account for the wildly differing preferences for taste, or comfort, or usage of buildings which your clients cannot describe and often have no awareness of. Your client is sometimes the end user, but most end users are not clients. You have no control over any of the important decision making processes, but lots of control over the unimportant ones. All of your attempts to standardise the process in order to contain timeframes result in an incremental lessening of quality or usefulness - sometimes to the effect that the finished product horribly underserves the end users (you often make the clients happy though). Clients also sometimes just refuse to pay.

Architects have been thinking about and writing about and experimenting with information gathering, processing and dissemination for (at least) hundreds of years. I mean, architects were knowledge workers before we even had paper to draw the blueprints on. Much of the early systems of standardisation and automation were driven by architecture (and fashion surely). Hell, the first 3D scanning of an object, a statue, was in the 15thC by an architect.[0] We have been using ticket systems ( rfis), bug reports (post occupation evaluation) and version control systems (transmittals and revisions) for longer than the software industry has been around. The reason for all the arcane processes in the industry is to try to capture, use and re-use information. To standardise processes across consultants, builders, clients, and manufacturers. Most architects are shit, we developed horrible hiring procedures to weed out the shit ones, that don't really work. They chronically underpay staff. They have missed just as many deadlines, and spent just as much money in cost blowouts as the software industry.

No. Designing buildings is almost exactly like designing software. It is just data processing and prediction after all.. and bullshit. Everything new is old. You can probably learn from their mistakes.

The IA could be cut down to 1/1000000 it's size, and still, maintain it's historical relevance.

If the IA were vaporized today, it wouldn't really matter that much, there's nothing in there we need, and the important content is saved elsewhere. The NYT has a great archive.

The internet is mostly noise and babble, most of it is not important at all. Some of it is.

Coronavirus has a mortality curve by age that looks like the average curve for the population of all other causes.

The total risk there is lower than this.
> KataGo and Leela Zero and all the other AIs certainly didn't cost that much

And you base that claim on what exactly? Leela Go is trained by the community, which donates self-play resources. Just because you outsource your cost to volunteers doesn't mean it's free!

In order to get to a realistic estimation, you'd need to get the average cost for electricity, hardware cost (proportionate to use), and of course opportunity costs.

Since you cannot do that, I'd argue that you have no clue what the true training cost of these projects compared to on-demand/cloud costs really are.
> With these, you can deploy a SourceHut instance with no frontend at all, using the GraphQL APIs exclusively.

FPGA: Why So Few Open Source Drivers for Open Hardware?
Thanks that is helpful to me. Will respond, I hope, later today
Accessing mounted drives can be avoided by putting your source code in WSL 2's file system, but it is for sure still a pressing issue since folks tend to have multiple drives and want to access them within WSL.

But to your point, WSL 2 does have some really big issues pending tho, such as https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4166 and https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4699. The TL;DR is that WSL 2 will happily use 80% of your system's memory by default and it never frees disk up in the VM that it runs in. The VM's disk will continue to grow and grow unless you as an end user run some PowerShell incantations to shrink the vhdx. In other words, deleting files from within WSL 2 won't clear the disk space used by the VM.

Within like 2 hours of using WSL 2 for the first time I found my system grinding to a halt because it used 11GB of memory and chewed through 60GB of my SSD since when I copied my source code into WSL 2's file system (to avoid the poor performance documented in your issue) I forgot I had a ton of wave files included in one of the directories since I kept those in a private directory in my podcast site's source code.
I might be wrong, but I think this cost calculation is way off:

Their running cost estimate of a single TPU in a machine with 4 "TPUs" is based off the price of a cloud TPU v2-8, but a v2-8 is actually 4 ASICS on 1 board.

Also, because of the date of publication being around the time v2s were announced, and the fact that the TPU is only used for inference and GPU is used for training, I think self play was likely done on TPU v1s, which use 5x less power per ASIC and so are likely much cheaper

I also think the way they calculated the number of TPUs required is wrong, it looks like they assume 1 machine with 4 TPUs makes 1 move in 0.4 seconds, but since making 1 move only requires a forwards pass through a moderately sized CNN with 19x19(tiny) input, 1 TPU should be able to make thousands of moves in parallel per second.
And for that reason, generally Australia would favour protecting something especially notable or with tourism potential. Seems this is down the scale a bit.

Americas healthcare system has it's flaws but the benefits amongst others is that it keeps being able to afford to invest in new research and methods and to specialize. It's the advantage of being a profit center.

This is much harder in universal healthcare systems that are cost centers and thus can't just decide to change to a newer better method. Furthermore, the universal healthcare system have to budget who gets what kind of medicine. So while all people gets treated the same way not all illnesses does.

Everything have pros and cons. The US system is much better in some ways and have shortfalls in others and vice versa.
