I agree with your gist but let's not pretend that Yann LeCun has been "taken down." He is still tremendously wealthy, respected, influential, etc... it looks like the only change is that he's not on Twitter.
Top 1% in India is just $77000 pre-tax income per year (5.5 LPA). This is comfortably middle & upper-middle class. I think what you are talking about is top 0.1%
How do they define collapse? The criterion in the article seems to be "building platforms occasionally" vs "not building platforms anymore"?
If you are looking for other branches of mathematics, I'd recommend topology and group theory; both can be pretty abstract, and work quite differently than the math you tend to be taught at school.

Otherwise, I recommend learning and using "extreme" programming languages, languages that go very far off your standard language. Examples:

* Lisp: everything is a list

* TCL: everything is a string

* Haskell: everything is pure and strongly types, and you use monads and other crazy stuff

* Rust: on the extreme end of safety through zero-cost (at runtime) abstractions

* Regexes: Just how much you can do with a powerful regex engine (declarative programming)

* Prolog

Finally: studying philosophy. Philosophers have honed their abstract thinking skills to the max :-)

I wondered the same thing when I was in India years ago. So I asked our guide. There are a lot of clues beyond family name to determine ones caste. Would be nice if it where that easy, so.
Please back up such an unlikely sounding claim with several excellent sources.

Here in the UK, there is exactly one layer: the NHS. It negotiates prices directly with drug suppliers, and as the sole buyer (monopsony) is able to get a great deal. It also sets the prices paid by consumers (the prescription price), which is a flat price charged for all drugs (yes really all of them) and is currently £9.15 (about 11 USD) for a prescription (i.e. a full course of multiple tablets of the drug). If you are given drugs in a hospital as part of an inpatient treatment the charge is usually nil.
This is the only thing I fault my own government for. They reacted, and reasonably well but two weeks too late thinking it might blow over. Respect the exponential function or you'll end up paying for it.
Have you managed to figure out what kinds of things you do to pick out caste, or is it all subconscious? I ask because I have literally no idea how you’d tell; I’ll have to ask my parents (born and raised in India) if they can because if they do have that ability I’ve certainly never figured it out. Then again, the only reason I hear them talking about someone’s caste is if that person ran into issues because of it…
If it is an effective treatment, tell me why we should pay $2,340 per patient, and not just invalidate their patent on the grounds of public good? The US gov partially paid for its development in the first place.
Money will never run out. Government will just print more money resulting in inflation and other problems. Most of the currencies are free floating and are not backed up by something tangible like gold.

Very few people have private health care in Europe, at least in the UK - they are either comparatively very rich or have a job that provides it (again, very rare and probably a job that pays very well to begin with).

You will see a lot of buying power from free health care providers as they represent tens-hundreds of millions of people - they will most likely pass on a price gouging drug in favour for others. They won't pay market rate, whatever the drug manufacturers say.
You don't have to look all that far back, Japan had a codified and brutally enforced (instant death penalty) case system until the late 1800s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edo_society

Virtually nothing of it remains today though, although there are some traces of discrimination against the burakumin (Japan's untouchables) and some (rare) names are associated with the nobility. Generally speaking, though, you can't tell somebody's former caste from the name: a Maeda could be a direct descendent of the samurai clan, a retainer or peasant in the Maeda lands who adopted the name, or some random person anywhere in Japan who happened to live near the front (mae) rice paddy (-da) since Japanese names tend to reflect places, not occupations. Those few who care about "pure blood" have to hire a private investigator to ferret out burakumin traces.
It typically costs ~$2B to develop a new drug. Taxpayer contributions are practically negligible.
You should do a course in Automata Theory. Check out cs154.stanford.edu

I used the book "Language, Proof, and Logic" which was also excellent.

These courses will formalize concepts and allow you to apply them much better than random anecdotes.
Stagehand here. I still haven’t received a penny of unemployment insurance. The state is not equipped to deal with >1M people filing every week. I have friends who are mistakenly being accused of fraud and being asked to repay what they’ve received so far. UI is a nightmare right now.

Even if I could live for a year or two on 40% of my previous salary (much closer to minimum wage than it is to tech salaries), and the government approved extensions to allow UI to be paid for that long (it’s not), our employers still have other bills to pay. They need to pay rent and insurance on the theatre, and the scene shop, and the warehouse full of sets and props and costumes. Equipment needs regular maintenance and inspections. Consumables will expire. It will cost more when we start up again.

There are lots of other pieces in the live entertainment system. We can’t just go back to work if the other businesses we rely on have gone bust in the meantime. Want stagehands to work through the night? You’ll need 24/7 catering. Want stage lights? You’ll need rental companies. Want equipment to be serviced? And on and on.

Finally, I know many people are taking this opportunity to retire, or change careers. Nobody is joining the industry right now. All the classes and certifications I was scheduled for in the past 6 months have been cancelled. We’ll have a lack of skilled workers when we do get back to work.

It will take many years, after a vaccine is created, for this industry to recover.

One other Q: What about E2E security? Will you implement this for the comms between the bridges and the browsers? As I understand it I would run the bridges myself so it would make sense to have everything encrypted.

I paid Google for Google One and it doesnt include Youtube Premium, their own video service. Whilst Amazon Prime gives you Prime Now, Prime Video and Prime Delivery. Much better value.
But that can't be an acceptable solution, can it?

If you have to hire armed security to keep your place of business and your customers safe, you're doing business in a dysfunctional country. You might as well not pay taxes then.

That sounds to be exactly what the Push API (https://w3c.github.io/push-api/) is for the web: code can ask the user agent, “please give me a push endpoint”, and the UA gives it a URL, and then the code sends that URL to its backend server, which can then push to that endpoint, and messages will end up back at the user agent and be handed to the relevant code. On desktop platforms, Firefox defaults to using a Mozilla-operated push service, but on Android it could in theory use FCM, or Samsung’s equivalent, &c. if they supported the API.

I really don’t understand why mobile OSes don’t just adopt the Push API wholesale. Android especially. It’s such a mess having each app do its own thing and then have all kinds of problems with power saving measures; why not instead let the OS declare the push service to use (Google phones use FCM, Samsung phones use a Samsung push service, &c.), and apps just use what they’re given?
Show HN: HeartPeace, HRV Biofeedback iOS App
HeartPeace helps you to meditate by providing real-time feedback about how relax you are.

The feedback is provided by measuring your cardiac coherence using heart rate variability analysis algorithms that determine your parasympathetic vs sympathetic nervous system activation. Therefore, a BLE heart rate monitor is required or if you don’t have one you can use the back camera to measure your heart rate.

The feedback is given by displaying an animation that resembles your inner state. The more you are focused in your breathing, the bigger, slower and green/blue the animation will be.

Feedback is also presented using sounds so headphones are recommend, if you are not focused in your breathing you will hear a crowd sound but if you are focused in your breathing you will hear monks meditating and the more focused you are the deeper the sounds will be.

To better focus on the breathing is advised to sit down, set the timer provided in the app and close you eyes to minimize distractions.
Simulating Color Deficiencies in Flutter
That's a pretty good theory. It even shows up in the start-up world: those companies that invest in good security and proper IT infra have a short term disadvantage compared to the ones that don't, which actually may have the effect that those that don't eventually win out at which point they will either end up with a massive security issue or they get wise and fix things in time. It's not a level playing field and tricks like this can easily make a big difference in outcome.

Seems expensive for a drug with "no significant benefits"

They do address this. Faulty copying is not biased (except towards mutations which help decrease it). DNA chirality is. Over the course of hundreds of millions of years, that tiny bias adds up to a significantly more successful organism.
You mean like a batch file with a vlc shortcut icon. I accidentally run those all the time. My eyesight sucks and win10 accessibility is dogshit.

Ive done similar on mac too.
We only have Netflix and YouTubeTV. That's $75 for content/mo. Much cheaper than cable in our area (adding in the hardware + DVR services). We have a handful of shows we watch plus a handful of NCAA basketball and the Olympics (this year isn't working out at all..). We've looked at this very objectively (spreadsheets!) and with what we want from our TV service YouTubeTV is the best deal.
I'd argue that curve fitting isn't modeling. And when inserting a fitted curve into a feedback system you're very likely to just perpetuate the problem you're looking to eliminate.
I don't know why but for some reason US law enforcement always manages to find a way to maximize harm.

When you give them less lethal weapons what happens is that they just use them in every possible situation and often they increase lethality by aiming at vulnerable body parts or shoot them from a very short distance. What they really should do is show some restraint and not let themselves get provoked easily.

Facial recognition is basically ending in the same situation. 96% failure rate means you have a lead but not evidence and only get to interview people for more clues. Instead they just arrest the leads because the wanted criminal could attack during the interview or flee afterwards.
Yes this is another issue. Each bridge has its own way of managing things. In some (like Signal) you have to run a CLI command, in others you have like a bot where you can tell it what to do. It's not really standardized in Matrix.
No, I’ve been posting here for that long too. I haven’t been living under a rock. I got my own vimrc and everything, it’s just not that useful in practice.
> New issue trackers feel faster for the same reason switching browsers tends to feel faster—you're getting rid of all of the crap you piled up in the old one. Don't migrate your backlog, start with only a couple engineers in a new issue tracker, and suddenly, wow!, this new tool is so much better!

Sluggish software can be more than just a data bloat issue. It can also be caused feature bloat, or software architecture that scales poorly.

Anecdotally, I recently worked on a project using a fresh Jira Cloud account. It was still slow.
Also get feedback from candidates, especially rejected ones. The people who get offers will assume that the process works, since it validates their self-worth. Even if the process is very stupid. I've had processes that were so so bad from top companies. Like "here's a repo, clone it, write a program that will be judged by automated tests that you can't see". I had to basically guess what the tests were going to do, which turns the coding challenge into a game of luck.

I'd love to do away with coding screens in general. I glanced at the doc for Stripe and it looks great. I'd have loved to read this doc, but the last time I applied to Stripe I got a HackerRank followed by an auto-rejection. I get why coding screens exist, but it's so annoying to be batted away because I failed blind automated tests.
Here's the real question - So you are convinced you don't need Vim, right? Why are you on this thread?

No one's saying vim is superior. However, you need to have an open mind to understand the alternatives.

It's not like Vim is a paid product and by you not using it, Vim is going to die out soon or anything.

If you dont' like it, great? You are happy with the alternative, great. You seem like you just want to deliberately start an argument and then prove you are right, but why?
> In normal circumstances, we would price a medicine according to the value it provides.

Which makes medicine so expensive that it provides no value to the many people who are in a bad position and cannot afford it. Pricing by the value something provides is only relevant for those who can afford that value in the first place (they assume you stay for the duration; you are lucky if you do not); for the rest it provides no value at all because they don't get into that position in the first place.

As I read online, the entire treatment in India is well under $100[0]. I am all for getting the R&D money back, but charging medicine based on value (who determines that value anyway; that's highly subjective) it may provide is a recipe for disaster. Especially in this case; they stand to sell 10s of millions of these vials (even though they don't really seem to 'provide value' as clearly as advertised as others have mentioned here), so the R&D/investment story is... not very good.

I don’t think this is a great comparison. Since I’m American, I’m going to pick something else that would be a bit more foreign: I can “tell” if a person is Scottish or Irish from their accent, but I have absolutely no idea how to know if someone is of a certain caste. I could meet up with a carbon copy of myself and not be able to discern their caste because I have zero knowledge of why I “look like” the one I belong to.

They did not know what to do with this drug, because it turned to be flop almost for every virus they tried. They would have scrapped it, if not for covid. Now they are telling us they need to recover R&D price. Very funny.
That might be, but the C++ array append is bounds-checked which makes it half as fast as it could be too. It would be 16ns if there is no checking. So, you are right but I am trying to do a balanced approach here. These benchmarks are made for me, and I want to write (more or less) normal code.

Sure, we're generalizing about over a billion people here. But I still contend that if you were to take statistically significant samples across the caste hierarchy, you'd find more vegetarians up top.

ATSC 3.0 is starting to show up in some markets, which brings with it newer than mpeg-2 codecs. I haven't yet started to pay attention to that, but it looks like it's h.265

They skipped ATSC 2. There were a couple broadcasters experimenting with newer codecs on ATSC, but I think that mostly fizzled out.
No, indeed, I think that's the whole point.

Approach #1 is to just go to maximize expected value, using all variables, including race.

Approach #2 is to use race to adjust the distributions as you suggest. Call this "affirmative action."

The inbetween approach #1.5, that we usually follow, is to make a value judgment about whether any individual item is OK to use.

Income? Of course it's reasonable to use income to determine whether to lend-- even if it's correlated with race. Race? No, that seems wrong. Location? Sure--- wait, you've drawn a box around all the black neighborhoods, nope! Buys certain products? Sure-- wait, you don't mean "buys products that blacks stereotypically like," do you?

#1.5 is already iffy, but becomes completely untenable once model complexity gets high and we use approaches that do not do well at explaining their decision: it basically becomes #1.

A major problem with #1 is it becomes self-perpetuating and reinforcing: if everyone is going to be biased against you, you're going to do worse, and hence the models are validated/more models are created with these assumptions. Everyone using #1 may improve their own expected value at the expense of a worse outcome for society as a whole.

Sorry I haven’t replied, I didn’t have the time to read the article yet, and your reply isn’t very substantial...

If I understa correctly, your point is that there are things that are easy to see (matters for sexual selection) and/or measure (matters for science) and IQ is neither... but those aren’t the only causes of genetic differences? You also have survival pressure (presumably running faster would be here) and just random drift as well (presumably that’s how slanted eyes and blond hair first developed). You didn’t answer which of the options I listed regarding Jewish IQ is correct. Alternatively, why are humans smarter than chimps?

Also, regarding your (4), scientists are notorious for submitting to pressure from the wokeness mob, and in touchy subjects like genetics in particular, so it’s not an unreasonable assumption on my part.
> African-Americans, in the UK Pakistanis and Indians

It’s worth differentiating here. The experiences and outcomes and attitudes towards Pakistanis are very different to those of Indians in the UK. Indians are by far the most successful ethnic minority in the UK while Pakistanis are the least. Three of the most senior positions in the UK government are occupied by people of Indian descent—Priti Patel, Rishi Sunak, and Alok Sharma-all members of the Conservative Party.
My (neo)vim can do more than vs code in default config.

Both support plugins, so the possibilities are basically endless
If you care for them vim has access to many of the same features as VSCode via LSP and the same plugins that VSCode uses.

Why would one be suitable for programming but not the other?

It just comes down to UI preference and whether you want to configure things yourself or not.
I don't really understand the outrage. Surely, the price is only too high in the event that they can't sell their product? It's a business, not a charity.

Other companies will be looking hungrily at these earnings and invest in developing their own antivirals---which is exactly the desired outcome.

Sure, it would be great to have this drug available to everyone right here, right now, for cheap. But investing on those terms is not very attractive; hence the drug simply wouldn't exist.
wherever Indians go they take caste with them. You can't wipe out your caste even if you change your religion, name, financial situation, country, what-have-you, marry. Indians are a fucked up bunch. Let them become a non-minority in your country and the tribalist mentality will penetrate everywhere without anyone even noticing
And I assume some people like their last name, regardless of discrimination they might face because of it…
And even if you do prepare, the preparation might be for nil (or very little) advantage if a government will just bail out your competitors anyway.

> works in a place with a terrible internet connection

That excuse just doesn't hold up when any comparable issue tracker (or web app in general) works fine on the same internet connection.

JIRA, just like any other Atlassian product has a slowness to it on every click and navigation that makes it feel like you are wading through molasses.
I actually think Slack doesn't bridge very well with Matrix. One of the things I'm having issues with is the threaded chat, where in Matrix every thread appears as individual message replies, leading to a very confusing overview if multiple threads are being replied to at the same time.

Also, the API token is hard to get and it says you might get banned for using the 'xoxo-' token. Though I did it anyway :)

I was a big fan of Slack until they dropped their IRC bridges, but unfortunately some communities I'm on are still only on there.
