Pretty obvious conservative slant here by a wealthy immigrant who considers himself "self-made" and can't understand why all those poors don't just pull themselves up by their bootstraps... And racism? Just more fake news.
I don't know if it was the case here, but it's also worth mentioning that these YC workshops often run alongside other workshops at the same time, and founders choose the ones they find most relevant. It makes sense that most of the founders who would choose to go to a growth workshop led by the Stripe founders would be running b2b companies.
I feel like we hear this story so often. I'm not sexist! I just happen to develop personal problems with any woman I work with that wants equal treatment! I suspect this is going to be very difficult to prove in a court though - drawing the line between personal issues and personal issues that are the result of (however subtle) sexism is very difficult.

It's going to be enjoyable to watch the company try and continue their woke marketing strategy whilst being sued by their former head of marketing for sexism though.

from the paper:

> However,we find that none of these transformations defeat our cloaks. The protection success rate remains 100% even when data augmentation is applied to cloaked images5. Ap-plying Gaussian blurring degrades normal accuracy by up to18% (as kernel size increases) while cloak protection success rate remains>98% (see Figure13). Adding Gaussian noise to images merely disrupts normal classification accuracy –the cloak protection success rate remains above 100% as the standard deviation of the noise distribution increases(seeFigure14). Even image compression cannot defeat our cloak.We use progressive JPEG [57], reportedly used by Facebookand Twitter, to compress the images in our dataset. The im-age quality, as standard by Independent JPEG Group [1],ranges from 5 to 95 (lower value = higher compression). As shown in Figure15, image compression decreases the pro-tection success rate, but more significantly degrades normal classification accuracy.
The philosophy of Deliberate Practice applies very well to writing. There are some online writing courses you can take (e.g., David Perrell has one), but there's a lot you can do on your own (and with the help of some friends). Here are the two biggest things.

1. Start with an outline. This will help you cement the most important points of your writing/argument in your mind and enable you to start filling in the gaps. Often, I'll spend a lot of time getting the major points I'm making very crisp before I write a full draft. Doing this will also help you identify what's missing. The most important parts to focus on are (1) where a reader may disagree (i.e. where you'll need to make your argument stronger and back with evidence), and (2) where your reader will have questions that you'll need to answer.

2. Get feedback and revise 2-3 times. Getting feedback and acting on it is the single most valuable thing you can do; however, most people don't know how to provide writing feedback. They'll focus on grammar unless you specify what you want the reader to think about. There are two strategies here – (1) Provide your reader with a list of questions you want them to answer. I always use the following four: What did you learn? Is what you learned compelling (if not, why wasn't it compelling)? What didn't you learn that you wanted to learn? Where was it clear/not clear? (2) add specific comments/questions within your writing in places you are less comfortable with and want feedback.

You lack understanding of the quote by Evelyn Beatrive Hall. It means that you are allowed to disapprove of what Twitter did, but you should defend to the death there right to do it.
That Twitter bans Zuby is freedom of speech from their side. If they wouldn't dare to do this, because of the "cancel culture" shouting mob, than we would have a problem.
I'm really shocked about your rant against freedom of speech and the hypocritical attitude of proclaiming yourself as a defender of freedom to speak. You seem to value the right to do and say what you want only if it's what you decided is right.

> Reddit would have been one of the most successful YC companies of all time, except for that they basically had to shut down because they couldn't raise money.

I can't give details, but I can tell you that the $80K would not have made a difference. What would have made a difference was a small seed of a few million, which YC is pretty good at getting for companies these days.

One thing you may want to try is sticking to a certain class for a while. It'll give you a better feel for how all of their cards work together, and you won't "forget" about certain aspects of the class. I found that I hit a wall around Ascension 8-10 before I started trying this.

Man exactly my thought... I am not sure I ever won... I suck :)
It may be useful to do this, but it is not necessary.

Two downfalls of this approach that I see:

1. It increases the likelihood of believing things to be true, that are not actually known to be true

2. Since these things are not known to be true, it can increase societal polarization, because some others are able to see and elaborate that it is actually not known, and this can lead to "warring" tribes, who seem to often let isolated disagreements bleed into their behavior on unrelated matters, such as how they perceive others, or how they vote at the ballot box.

A lot of people seem concerned about the results of #2, but very few people seem to be interested (to put it nicely) in the underlying cause(s).

Conclusions like "It is not conclusively known one way or the other...but all things considered, <x> seems like the most reasonable estimate until we receive more data" are not only possible, but superior, in my opinion.

Young people have different views from their parents and grand-parents, new at 11.

Cancel culture is just the stupid name given to the eternal "kids these days" complaint. Old people get pissed off when young kids discover and begin leveraging their political capabilities. This really isn't very different from complaints about rock & roll, hippies, or any other previous instances of young people using their economic influence to shape the views of society. Elvis shaking his hips on TV seems so quaint today, but lots of middle-aged and older people of the era found that highly offensive.

I'm getting to the age where I'm about to flip into the old man category here. But for now, I'm happy to see that young people aren't going to let assholes push them around and are fighting back with the tools they have available to them. There are loads of teenage girls out there who are half my size with twice the courage.
I had a similar idea for a system to add noise to videos to prevent them from being flagged by state censorship systems. Keeping videos of abuse from being deleted from public view in cases like the Great Firewall, for example. I don't have the expertise for implementation yet but I'm glad steps are being made in this direction.
The OP’s question was about OpenGL. GPUs have gigabytes of external mutable state. Specifically, in my PC the figure is “11GB of that state”.

You can’t avoid that.

If a language doesn’t offer convenient ways to deal with that state, it simply means that language ain’t a good choice for anything GPU-related, be it graphics or GPGPU.
You can buy a lot of those chemicals in Walmart and Lows in the US (ex: Walmart usually has fairly pure concentrated sulfuric acid. Lows has most common organic solvents.) The lab equipment is also pretty easy to buy on amazon (I’ve bought some trying to teach myself, although I’d recommend against buying anything from China, It always seems to disappear somewhere around LA.)

There’s an entire community of autodidacts that do this sort of thing at home as a hobby. They have lots of advice on PPE, materials handling, storage, where to find papers and books etc. Some of them even record experiments instead of just writing them down so everyone can watch.
Don't worry. Teams is terrible, you don't need to worry.
I wonder if one alternate explanation for the "dodo theory" is like antidepressants in that the average level of effectiveness in aggregate is fairly low but each individual patient usually has several which work for them. I am not an expert admittedly.
Google also has "related searches" at the bottom of the results page. It works both ways. Searching First Middle, the related searches return First Middle Last. Searching First Last still for the most part accomplishes what he wants, not bringing up a lot about his online life, however the related searches hint at it, by showing First Last Middle, and First Last 'Blog'.
Aiming for synergies can be a trap, though. Sometimes the correct pick is a bad card that has anti-synergy with your current deck, because it solves an immediate problem. For example, at the start of a run you generally should pick any attack better than a strike (almost all of them) even over super powerful late-game scaling cards and try to kill the Elites to get relics and build power.

After the first few runs through the Spire, you'll generally know what you will be facing, and what you need to do is pick cards that cover your bases against those potential upcoming fights.
I second a few people on here: You will probably need to learn quite a lot of math if you did not study physics or math. In order to understand quantum physics, you will need to understand what vector spaces and Hilbert spaces are, have a good grasp of calculus (derivatives, integrals should be no issue for you), a good understanding of Fourier analysis and statistics.

Then, you should probably take a class in the basics of quantum physics which will lay the foundation for you to understand quantum computing.
As an ML outsider, I'm surprised classifiers are so hyper-sensitive to pixel level inputs that this would work.
Uh, most parents would take their kids back in the event of financial disaster. That's not even rare. Many folks live with their parents until late 20s / early 30s these days.
Then they should run sidebar ads on the gore sites. The point is that there appears to be a subset of the population that is not traumatized by this stuff. We may as well give them an opportunity to put that difference to use.

Edit: and saying things like "well clearly these people are already traumatized if they're seeking this out, it's not good for them, we shouldn't give these jobs to them" seems laughably paternalistic when the alternative is to traumatize more people by making them look at it instead.
that said, the likelihood of there being _no_ filter is still lower than the others.

if we detect life so near to us and _yet_ we still have yet to encounter life from another planet means there's likely still _some_ kind of filter. So I don't think the likelihood of no filter is high if we detect life
I will be the weirdo and say I would rather have an amazing search feature in chat than have to go through moving knowledge into a more “permanent” location.

Permanent, searchable chat in Slack has been way more powerful for me than all of the other options for knowledge capture (SharePoint, Confluence, etc). I can almost always find what I need and if there is more up to date information, Slack seems to surface that first.

It seems like the difference between real-world usage and theoretical solutions in this case is wide.

You could but it gets much harder that way and the likelihood of you failing goes up significantly. It is more risk averse to the VCs to cut a decent size check which ensures founders are not struggling for basic needs and can actually focus on the startup.
Well what I mean to say is during a panic the government has the most means and motivation to step on your rights. It’s also a time when the tyranny of the majority can come into play.

The interment of Japanese citizens during WW2 is one example.
I don't see this as likely. Global warming is not an extinction level event (for humans! for a lot of other life, it will be, although habitat loss may well play a larger role in that.)

My own speculation on the Great Filter is that any intelligent alien civilization is almost certainly a race of social predators that evolved - and thus are in competition for resources.

I worry that competition between individuals and individual states necessarily ends in the destruction of the environment on which they depend and quite likely in direct destruction in war with advanced technology.

Us humans need to find some other paradigm under which to move forward, capitalism and competition, which have brought us such amazing results to date could well also be our undoing.
This seems like a failure in how test results are communicated to patients. Patients should just been told that they have been "flagged for further testing", rather than being told they have tested positive for cancer.

Your website looks good. The examples in several languages is also a nice touch (expected from API documentation).

I do have plenty of questions though.

Does this service get historical rates from its sources in real time or does it store those in its own local database?

How long will this service be free for? What’s the business model that’s being thought about?

What kind of rate limiting, if any, is used so that a developer who uses these APIs doesn’t have their app go down because someone else is hammering the server with a lot of requests?
Monopolies Are Why Salt and Water in a Bag Became a Scarce Item
It's important draw a distinction between a "design doc" and "documentation". tl;dr: "ought" vs "is".

A "design doc", as described in the article, is a tool to help make a decision. It's a proposal. It is "ought". It describes the state of the world at a point in time, the desired change, and how to make it. Once the decision is made and the work is begun, it's rarely updated.

"Documentation" is just the state of the world (generally "now" or "at release x.y"). It describes the design and use of the system, but has very little digression into ways it could be different. If it links to a design doc, it should be for

Once you draw this distinction, it's clear that design docs should be in something like Google Docs, while documentation should be in something like a wiki or git. It's clear why it's fine for a design doc to be out of date, but it's a big problem if documentation is. etc.

Multigenerational living is pretty common in many parts of the world - many places children dont (or cant) move out of their parents house until they are married, and later in life their parents move in with them. There's a difference between supporting a child or parent with a roof and a meal and supporting a child with a NYC apartment and a trust fund.

I would refine this by saying "upper middle class" rather than "middle class", depending on how we define the middle class.

If you're somewhere in the lower or middle "middle class", the world still isn't set up very well for you.

Being of the "cultural upper middle class" (born into a professor, scientist, engineer, etc. family) is also an advantage.

Volunteering at our homeless shelter doing health assessments and triage was certainly much better than sitting at home watching TV and worrying more.

Many of my prospects disappeared as COVID hit - and it made me feel some self worth trying to help others. I learned a ton too.

When the volunteer work is truly doing something for the community, I find it more valuable than paid work (even barely scraping by) - just knowing that I did SOMETHING to attempt to help others.

Just my 2 cents.
> 1. “Can a perfect player win every game of Slay the Spire?” (alternatively, “Is there a strategy that achieves a 100% win rate in Slay the Spire?”)

> 2. “For every seed of Slay the Spire, is there a sequence of decisions that results in a win?”

Given that there are only 2^64 seeds, the answer to these questions may actually be the same. The optimal strategy for a perfect player would likely involve determining the state of the RNG (which only requires witnessing about 64 bits of RNG output) at which point you know exactly what will happen for the rest of the game.

I'm not very familiar with Slay the Spire so maybe I'm misunderstanding though.
Really good story. I'll have to remember that one. I think I've kind of come to the same conclusion when designing board games but after a lot of trial and error :).

I really like the OpenBSD "pledge" API (https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2). At any point, a program can promise that it will only make specific syscalls from then on, and subsequent pledges can only further restrict that list of syscalls.

Once a process has given up rights to open a local file, for instance, it can't get it back. I think that's beautiful.

I'd wonder if frequents in these subreddits are typically professional and healthy people to have on a team, though (honestly no idea, never been).

It's a strange conundrum because ideally you want good people who are comfortable watching things good people rarely want to watch.

My preferred solution to the great filter is to assume that things like Dyson spheres can't feasibly be built, at any level of technological development.

Right.
