This might be what you'd think intuitively. I've conducted ~500 technical interviews, and in my experience candidates who are obvious DNP (do not pursue) often times really do not want your feedback or do not care about it, either because they think they're smarter than the whole process, or they're too busy turning inward to deal with an emotional breakdown. But those very candidates are the ones who are likely to leave the feedback!

tl;dr candidates are happy to give feedback whether or not you provide any yourself.

EDIT: I agree with you though. An interviewer should be ready and willing to provide feedback if the candidate signals that it would be welcome.
That sounds like an argument that only people with money should get medicine.

I don't really understand what it means to not use race as a criteria. If we're comparing Italians and Irish, and Irish are mostly left handed and Italians mostly right, and we know that right handers are more likely to pay back their loans, then presumably my race/ethnicity blind program will favor right handers over left handers, but the consequence will be favoring Italians over Irish.

When more variables come up and get more complicated it seems like it would be impossible to say "You're based on race" versus "You're based on a multitude of factors, several of which correlate to race, and consequently you give more or better loans to race X over Y."
The NHS employs about 1.4 million people (and I don't think that includes GP practices). Of course an organisation that big is going to have quite a bit of structure. I never intended to dispute that.

I was disputing that specifically drug purchasing is a "racket" with "more layers" the US system, which is what the parent comment claimed. None of the organisations or organisational units that you mention have anything to do with drug price negotiation, so I don't see what they have to do with the conversation.

The social movement started several years ago. Its called the quota system and it has been enforced at various levels of government jobs and education. People just get promoted with no regard to their actual performance in all kinds of government jobs. This type of reservation on the basis of caste is regressive. What about someone who is supposedly from a "higher" caste but is still not economically well-off. Such people have to work much harder than their counterparts who receive concessions on their performance. Once you are in the university this doesn't stop. For most government universities the fees are different for people from reserved, non-reserved categories - meaning that someone from a poor background but with "higher" caste label has to work harder for opportunities for education and also has to bear a financial burden once you cross these hurdles. Think from the perspective of a middle class "higher" caste member of society - why should someone like that bear the high tax burden of the country when their kids won't receive much of the benefits. Any talk of scaling back this historical policy screw-up (Mandal comission report / VP Singh government) is vehemently put down. Just look up how the previous government reacted when doctors protested against the extension of caste-based reservation to postgraduate medical education. This is not even partisan. Even in current government one politician said something similar in very derogatory terms leading to him losing in the elections. Reservation should be granted on the basis of economic condition only because the point is economic upliftment. There should be policy that grants economic parity but I don't think the country has resources for satiating revenge.
I don't mean to add any fire to the debate. Just wanted to gently point out that the first recorded instances of a pandemic have happened so a pandemic does break the 3rd rule.

I think other commenters have pointed out that the reaction of global leadership has been a surprise with major effects that will be rationalised in the future. Making their reaction to the event itself the black swan event.

In a rational world, we'd have expected leaders to band together against a potential pandemic. That this level of incompetency should have been expected will be the rationalization that follows.
As far as I understand, you’re supposed to wear that thread in a way that would keep it hidden when wearing normal work attire. If that’s so, how would others know you had one? Would you secretly flash them at each other like a gang symbol?

Can anyone recommend IDEs for Lua? I've used Visual Studio Community for C# and Eclipse for Java and been really happy with them. Mainly looking for code auto-completion and debugger. Right now I'm doing a small game with C# and Otter2d, but Lua with löve2d seems interesting.
This keeps popping up, and it is no more persuasive the tenth time than the first.

Universal Computation was demonstrated a long time before Lisp. Any Turing-complete language is universal, Lisp included. Church's lambda calculus is included, and Lisp is a notation for lambda calculus. So, you can write a Lisp interpreter in Lisp, and it's pretty compact because (surprise!) a Lisp Interpreter has a lot of support for the stuff you need to do to Interpret Lisp. There's nothing deeply meaningful about it beyond what you start out with from Church.

It is much more impressive, and subtly meaningful, that a NAND gate is universal. You can build a machine that runs Lisp from nothing but NAND gates, and people have. There have even been commercially successful discrete-transistor mainframes made of practically nothing but NOR gates (plus core memory), which are identically universal.

Transistors are therefore universal. But because their operation is described in analog terms, they don't quite fit the mathematical formalism. The universe doesn't care about that, so it allows us to build up Universal Computation out of analog transistors. The more transistors you put in, the more computation you can do in a second.

It's not. The biggest problem is big email providers such like Gmail.
Yes most software is limited cores (example: encoding videos).

The best (efficient) way to utilize that many cores IS to have 1 pinned process/thread per-core: https://www.scylladb.com/ https://github.com/scylladb/seastar/

That would be the same in Python too. A problem is that you can't share the kernel pages for the code, and you need to have a shared-cache. Probably 0-mem-copy with no deserialization example: lmdb + Flat Buffers.

Nicer is to have 1/2x cores, but each core being 2x faster ;)

Well the EU should stop dividing it then - instead of supporting freedom of trade and movement and work, regardless of politics and ideology, as they told us, they do the exact opposite, using mafia practices to get their way.
So, are you saying that the European countries should stop being so selfish and stop negotiating collectively to get better prizes?

Thanking US for stopping another dictator-sick-head. From your question and history of your comments I can presume that your empathies are with dictators and other scumbags. This is of course how it should be for a proper Russian propaganda. It's well established tradition of Russia to protect all sorts of scumbags and dictators. Also Russia started a WWII with their ally Hitler together attacking Poland.

I know it's sad for some to see another dictator down, but that is how it should be with every dictator.
That’s an interesting point, my only immediate thought is that markets and capitalism are two entirely separate entities. Capitalism gets a lot in free credit (no pun intended) riding off the coat tails of market economics.

In short, capitalism is paying others to do your work, but paying them less then the value they produce. Not an attractive proposition since it always trends towards Foxconn without a mechanism to counteract it such as a union.

A market can exist without that, bartering is all you need there.

Why marketing is eating the world
Disclaimer, I am in no way affiliated with brilliant.org but am a happy user. Do yourself a favor and invest in a brilliant.org membership (there should be a trial period, but tell yourself if you like it and stick with it you’ll consider buying the lifetime membership). Then do all the Logic Courses. You could work your way through their Computer Science stuff after that. They are actually pretty fun and making mistakes is all part of the process and viewing the answers will often correct what you missed. The way it works is you are given multiple choice or fill in the blank questions usually with only one right answer. The problem statements are very exact and taking in all the relevant information is necessary. Then you kind of have to deduce for yourself the answers. Brilliant.org is literally the best investment I’ve ever made to increase my mathematical ability second only to University where I took up to discrete math. I would definitely do the trial period though because it may not be for everyone. I have mostly used it to review material that I basically should already know so I don’t know how difficult it would be for someone approaching it at a perspective of not knowing much about the subjects. But, Brilliant setups up prerequisites for each course so you should know atleast what you could work on before certain ones. Best of luck and I hope someone tries it after this recommendation because I truly do love the platform.
> An ML model isn't going to magically make those biases worse, either.

Well, actually, research shows that unless great care is taken it absolutely can. If you include for example race as a factor in a model, it can learn non-causal correlations between race and whatever the objective is. This can have a compounding effect in some cases. [0]

> What it's going to do is bring them to the surface, so that they are quantifiable and we can actually do something about them.

I don't follow this. If we have a biased objective function, the model won't surface any biases we weren't already cognizant of in the objective function. And they were already quantifiable: we had a function that we were using to evaluate the model. We could use that same function on whatever non-model evaluation we were doing.

> ML is the solution to the bias problem.

This is basically directly in contradiction to what leading experts on the subject say. ML cannot fix bias in human systems, unless we presuppose that those systems are biased, in which case we can often address the bias in the human systems directly without ML.

> Humans who we cannot statistically debias. Humans who's biases we can't even effectively interrogate.

You can still have decisions be made by objective expert systems without complex ML. If you want to learn someone's IQ, the best way is to debias the IQ test, not to try and infer it from their face bones.

> it's that the bias is more measurable

If we can measure the bias in the output of an ML model, we can equivalently measure the bias in the output of a human system. You're presupposing the existence of some unbiased objective function which we don't have, and that's at the core of the issue.

[0]: https://www.wired.com/story/ideas-joi-ito-insurance-algorith... has a few good examples here, like how naive bail and sentencing models encode racial bias that isn't present in humans. And to be clear the response here shouldn't be "well let's just build better models" but "why do we think a model will improve the situation here at all"? Removing agency from Judges has historically been bad for the average person convicted of a crime. This doesn't mean that individual judges can't make terrible rulings, but that the alternatives are usually worse on the whole.

"The government money can be used to settle any debt - this isn't true for other monies."

Legal tender is often misconstrued as an argument. Legal tender laws relate to the settlement of enforcement in courts. Nothing else.

You can require that your customer pays you in Highland Sheep if you want - and refuse to sell anything to them unless they produce those Sheep.

However if you advance them credit (aka creating your own money) and the customer refuses to pay in the Highland sheep denomination as they promised, and then you go to court to enforce your contract, the court can dismiss the case if the customer has offered "legal tender" to discharge the debt.

What legal tender laws do, in effect, is force you to peg your own currency and your own credit advances to the denomination of the state you choose to enforce your contracts in.

Bear in mind you can change the jurisdiction by adding a jurisdiction clause to your contract. Even though I'm in the UK I can guarantee payment in US dollars simply by making my contract subject to the laws of California (say).
I don't think math is about arguing, and neither is good philosophy. Both are about truth.

You could view math as arguing, if you studied it by endless theorems and proofs, but a better way to learn math is by trying to solve problems whose answers you don't know (and picking up theories as needed). That way you learn to be curious for the truth out there, not just a convincing argument. That's the best approach to philosophy as well.

Software is an everyday thing.

The book also coined the term "affordance", which is still used today in UI discussions. One of the criticisms of flat design is that it removes affordances, in contrast to e.g. the 90s-era Windows 3D buttons which use a consistent visual language to indicate what elements the user can interact with.

All words are made up, and hate speech is an established term that you can look up in any relevant dictionary.

> It of course can be tricked by clever use of language. Instead of "Go out and destroy statues and the people who protect them!" which would be a call for violence. one could says "I think everyone should go one and destroy statues and the people who protect them." now it would be an opinion. The good thing is, the people who actually call for violence like terrorists usually don't bother with such trickery.

That's literally exactly what Molyneux and others do. Instead of directly advocating for violence they say things like: 'Whites and non-whites would be better of in their own ethnostates'. Now how do we get there? Well the same people also say that the current political system is corrupt to the core, where ((them)) (a jewish conspiracy) will hold the 'white man' down. Consequently some of their viewers take the matter in their own hands and express violence towards immigrants, most often any kind of brown poeple. Examples include the Canada mosque or the Christchurch perpetrator. Real world examples there hate speech led to vile acts.
Honestly given how the population in 1918 was between 1-2 billion [1], 1957 2.8 billion and 1968 3.5 billion, given that there's over twice as many people around now, we got off lightly.

>We should absolutely have legislation that mandates that public investment in drugs is returned to the public in kind

I don't think this more of a policy problem than a legislation policy. The US government can simply stop giving away free money at any point it wants.

>it’s hand-waiving to pretend that the people on the receiving end of high drug prices should’ve negotiated better prices for themselves

I think you may have missed the point I was making in my last post. I am not saying that drug consumers should negotiate better prices (although this is how prices are controlled in every other first world country). What I was saying that the US government intentionally gives away money with no strings attached for R&D. The explicit purpose of this funding is to help companies make products and profit. If the outcome you want is different, we need to look at different terms or a different investment vehicles.

One simple option would be requiring recipients of federal research grants to publish in open journals and open source their patents. the down side, is that this may reduce the chances of them being developed at all.

In addition to the US government, there are similar challenges for non-profits and charities, which often give money to large drug developers, or sell internally developed drugs to the for profit sector. You might find this paper interesting [1] as well as the history of ivacaftor.

Of course it is. In India, there are some ridiculuous rules related to caste discrimination. For example someone from "lower" caste can sue a person for libel and have him thrown in jail with no FIR. Caste based discrimination is wrong. But arrest-before-FIR is worse and can destroy someone's life.
