This sentence was confusingly worded. It means that the corporation/entity "Sculpt AI" wrote the article AFAICT -- specifically the humans who founded the corporation. I do not believe the article was written by machine.

If it was hard for humans to understand that, just imagine how difficult it would be for NLP to understand it. :)

Why not? There are many strange facts in the world. Some of them are even true. It is very difficult, when recalling a strange facts, to remember whether it was one of the true ones or not. So naturally, things we've heard will tend to exert a pull, even if we later found out they were wrong.
I don't have any interest in arguing about whether their position is correct, sorry. I was just making the point that most right-wing voters don't believe such extreme things.
This is really not true. While every industry, and especially Software Engineering, is prone to hype, the reason things become popular is that they deliver real value.

REST API's and microservices are a design that originated when software teams started growing in size and didn't want to lose the agility they observed when having control of their complete stack. It was enabled by a fundamental shift in infrastructure: previously, everything was managed by dedicated infra teams, but Containers and Container Orchestrators gave development teams control of their deployments. The old model of monolithic services stood in the way of developers who had access to this new power, and hence microservices were invented to address that.

I could give you similar reasons for the rise of Big Data, Infra as Code etc. Every one of these changes are driven by changes in fundamental technologies. They aren't fads.
I'm not an expert on US work authorization, so take this with a grain of salt.

> CUDA is much nicer to use than OpenCL

I think this is also part of the problem. AMD has a nearly function-for-function compatible GPGPU stack with CUDA in ROCm/HIP that fixes many of the pitfalls in OpenCL, and even provides automated translation tools for CUDA developers switching over.

However, this stack is so poorly documented and marketed that the mass majority of developers still associate AMD == OpenCL. Add onto that the lack of Windows, MacOS and Navi GPU support, and you've removed a ton of opportunities/incentives for folks to experiment with the platform.

It's important to realize that most of immigration (i.e., green cards) is family based (with marriage being first) and not employment based.
I am guessing that it was the letter code entered on the application form.
Right, but the visas are not being exclusively used for IT workers. Instead of weeding out abuse all current policies seem to be to just blindly make immigration harder. Making it harder for all specialized fields to hire the folks they need doesn't help anyone. The administration is just pandering to it's anti immigrant base instead of solving hard problems.

The author imagines that the value of tests would be to detect errors the developer does not know about as they initially write the code. They are understandably skeptical that tests can provide that kind of value.

In my experience, the "error detecting" value that a test sometimes gives you only occurs when you revisit code. Preventing regressions is very nice, but this is still not the main value of tests.

The real benefit of writing tests comes when you write them before you write any production code. That way the tests give you feedback about your software design. Code that is difficult to test is also difficult to use correctly.

They also complain about the friction you feel when you want to change behavior, but tests require the existing behavior. In this case the test should be changed or deleted. People are often too hesitant to delete tests.

Learn from the immigration in Canada is a good idea.

USA immigration system needs reform. No free welfare for anyone who is able to work. For those who supports excessive welfare, set a donation page for them to put their money where their mouth is, tax deduction is fine with me though considering they actually did something instead of just talking the talk or expecting others do what they talk.

Most importantly, better the education system here first, no more trophy generation, no more AA for college admission, and reward STEM kids instead of treating them as nerds in school. Until then, you have to depend on H1B/F1 to stay ahead, which should only be a temporary fix.

Yeah, this whole idea seems a little misunderstood.

Here's some of the high-level effects of bringing international talent of all sorts to the US of year:

1) more talent in the US

2) less talent in other nations

3) the US can ignore pre-university education and opportunity problems

1 and 2 are great for the US government and the top of the US economy, but bad for pretty much everybody else.

3 is pretty awful for a huge number of actual US citizens. Especially given the current state of our nation, this seems like a problem.

I don't believe in "talent". It's all about nurture. If you need more talented people in huge fields for generations, yet half of your nation doesn't have college degrees, the problem is that you are not investing in your people successfully. If we invested more in education and resources for kids, parents, and families from before conception through early childhood and education, we would not have a shortage for fields like... computer science and engineering. These aren't fields that just popped up, they've been a big deal for a century.
Reminds me of a short run podcast called The Program (https://programaudioseries.com/). It's a historical documentary about the rise of "The Program" which is basically an AI directed gig economy becoming the economy.

Right? I'm surprised Apple doesn't have a ban on an aligned "d4000001", aka 'svc #0', being anywhere in your executable segments. There's no reason for that unless you're making syscalls directly.

That being said, snapchat I'm sure makes an absolutely ludicrous amount of money for Apple given that Apple would be dipping into snapchat premium subscriptions. I bet they're special cased, can annoy all the Apple engineers, and not have any repercussions from it.

I think the reason you're getting down-modded is that the accepted way to challenge this kind of baseless statistic is "do you have a source for your 40% number?". Thanks for calling out this 40% number, I had just glanced over it and accepted it until you challenged it.
I mean if somebody told you "40% of fortune 500 companies are founded by first generation immigrants" that wasn't true, but I've never heard that, and I can't immediately find an article that says that.

The claim as stated here, "40% of the Fortune 500 companies are founded by immigrant families", is very straightforward.
Thank you. This is insightful.
A significant fraction of billionaires "became financially successful" through nothing more than the deaths of their ancestors. The idea that a saving habit contributes to financial wealth, rather than is simply associated with it, has no basis in research.
Well Trump actually is perfectly aware of the Covid risks, he is not that stupid. He really just panders to increasingly smaller radical public (and thaw would be his demise), while the moderate republicans kinda more aligned with what Pence does and says. Trump made a wrong bet, and he is going to lose.

If your hypothesis were true, then the rate of Fortune 500 companies being founded by immigrant families (40%) would be representative of the % of immigrant families in the U.S. population (24%), which it's not.

Services like this need an easy way to allow people to use their own domain names, and we need to lower the barrier of entry to individuals registering domains and setting up HTTPS.

Imagine a SaaS that sells domains, then provides and easy (and open) API for delegating control over subdomains using OAuth2.

So I sign up for sheetui, and during the registration process they redirect me to a namecheap.com (where anderspitman.net is registered) OAuth2 server, I grant them control over sheetui.anderspitman.net, and they can now host there on my behalf.

sheetui.com also shouldn't have to deal with TLS certs. Why doesn't namecheap.com handle that for me?

HTTP requests can be proxied through something like ngrok which again uses OAuth2 tokens for auth. Now we have a stack where people can securely host websites from there phone.

I love that an official SBA/federal release can have a file titled: "PPP loan data key things to keep in mind FINAL- Sunday.pdf". Nothing says "over-it" like all caps "FINAL-Sunday".

>besides your choice to overreact (stay overnight)

It was not a choice. It was an order.
Well... 40% of the Fortune 500 had at least one founder that was from an immigrant family. I think that's the precise statement, but I might misunderstand.

That is not the same as saying that 40% of the founders of Fortune 500 companies were immigrants (which I believe is bruceb's point).

To your point: Let's say there were 5 founders. Let's say one was an immigrant. Would the company still have been founded by the other 4, if the immigrant were not there? That's unknown, but one would expect that at least some of the time the answer is "no". Or if it were founded, would it have grown as large as it did? Again, unknown, but in at least some cases the answer is probably "no".

To argue otherwise is to say that founders are replaceable parts - that they have nothing unique to add. That seems... questionable.

"What, pray tell, is an outcome? When can the consequences of an action ever be fully accounted for?" (https://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-6/page-112-2/)

> a refusal to hold any sort of meaningful conversation

Hmm. I disagree. This is how you have meaningful conversations; you speak of your own experiences, and you ask people of theirs. I don't see this happen all that often. Mostly I see people, to put it harshly for clarity, dictating to others what those others' lived experiences were. AKA, speak for yourself, not for others. If you find yourself speaking for others, pause, and turn it into a question and ask those others.

I really do mean "this is HOW". As in, if you, the person reading this, does this practice, I would expect you to have a bunch of meaningful conversations where before you might not have. That's how it's worked for me. I'd be interested in hearing experiences to the contrary.

There's been a number of articles floating around about people avoiding hospitals / emergency rooms for non-COVID related reasons because of concerns about COVID, and that people were suffering (and sometimes dying) at home rather than going to the hospital like they normally would.

A players hire A players, B players hire C players.

If ability is normally distributed, and immigration is a filter for A players, their descendants will regress to the mean to become B players. B players want their C player American kids to have jobs over the A player non-American immigrant. America first.

I don't understand what you mean. How would the role be filled? They invented the role, that's the point of founding something. They didn't apply to a job posting for the position of "founder" that somebody else could have applied to.
Small nitpick: 1984 was significantly less than a half century ago. But otherwise yes, the greater point is history tends to teach us nothing.

For those interested in related/alternative approaches, one or more of the following established open-source libraries might appeal to you:

- Snorkel (training data curation, weak supervision, heuristic labeling functions, uncertainty sampling, relation extraction): https://github.com/snorkel-team/snorkel

- AllenNLP (many pretrained NLP research models for tasks beyond text classification, model training and serving, visualization/interpretability utilities): https://github.com/allenai/allennlp

- Spacy (tokenization, NER/POS + tagging visualizer, pretrained word vectors, integration with DL models): https://github.com/allenai/allennlp

-huggingface Transformers (latest and greatest pretrained models, e.g. BERT): https://github.com/huggingface/transformers

- ...or a barebones “from scratch” solution in less than an hour with a Colab notebook and scikit-learn (preprocess text into tf-idf vectors, LSA/NMF to generate “document embeddings”, visualize embeddings with t-SNE/UMAP [facilitates weak supervision/active learning], classify with LogReg/RF/SVM/whatever). You could also tack on pretrained gensim/TF/PyTorch models quite easily as a next step. But this basic flow quickly gives you a handle on your corpus.

By the way, the docs for DeepDive (the predecessor of Snorkel) are some amazingly detailed background reading: http://deepdive.stanford.edu/example-spouse

I believe France and Spain were simply already much further on the wave than Germany when they enacted the lockdown. Without the lockdown, things would have probably been much worse.

The videos are removed because somebody reports them. The "reporters" should also have "a skin in the game" e.g. their "karma" should suffer (i.e. the "amount of belief in their claim") every time they report and the claim is rejected. The initial "karma of the reporter" (for new accounts reporting) should also be low.

On the other side, the content producer's "defending" karma should also increase each time the claim is rejected.

And then, the "content police" should somehow need more "work" to ban or remove something the weaker the claim is or the defendant is "stronger."

I am aware that the "platforms", however, simply don't care much now, simply prioritizing the "reaction."

Yep dexamethasone is a very well known drug used in both human and animal medicine. Ironically it is used for breathing issues quite often in animal medicine so it isn't surprising to see it have some benefits with Covid IMO.

I don’t believe the article has addressed Sweden’s main argument for not shutting down: that herd immunity should be the prime driver. Essentially, that everyone is going to eventually have roughly the same death rate, so might as well get it over with.

That remains to be seen; if Sweden’s peers can prevent flare-ups, it looks like Sweden was wrong.
