Because you wrote "it's all very us centric too" - and I struggle to find out how that's a relevant comment given that "GitHub, Inc. is an American multinational", so obviously embedded in the US context, and American interpretation of the words.

"Loses her credibility" is a very strong claim to try to make with any sort of objectivity. Personally, I read the source article that sparked the nomination, and I can't see what the issue is. As a queer person, I'm happy the article exists to raise attention to this sort of company culture.
Wow, thanks for this comment. (as a quick aside, you have an incredible command of the language). A couple questions...

(1) "attempting to coerce", "pathologically transactional" - maybe it's tough to see it in my own writing, but that is definitely not what I'm intended. My goal was to actually build a mutually beneficial relationship with the people I reached out to. In previous jobs, I've always made lots of colleague friends, helped each other out in the workplace, and in many cases, became friends outside of the workplace. What language did I use which made it feel coercive or transactional? What would you have suggested instead (again, if you had followed this approach). If you had similar goals, what other approach would you try?

(2) "means to an end" vs "inherent fascination". I actually DO have a personal interest in how all the puzzle pieces fit together in an organization, and code-wise (system-wise?), I am more effective in my job when I have a good understanding of how things work under the hood (I learn a lot by "doing"). I suppose that one "means to an end" is "connect with someone I can learn from" - for this specific email/intro, I'm hoping to build some awesome colleague relationships as soon as I can. But it's less for "resource extraction" and more for developing good, mutually beneficial relationships with colleagues over the course of a career with intentionality. Again, is there different language or phrasing which would convey that better, and trigger less skepticism?

Again, thanks again for your insightful feedback. It stung the ego, but that's where the learning happens!

This is a very good and important question. We do know the answers:

Cooking roughly doubles the nutritional value of food. The heat breaks down complex, undigestable molecules to simpler ones. It also eliminates bacteria and parasites.

Most species would benefit a lot from cooking food, if they could figure out how.

I may need to clear up a misconception of mine, so here goes.

Isn't it Dexamphetamine that is the routine treatment for ADHD? As far as I understood, methamphetamine has much stronger effects than dexamphetamine, also meth been prone to cause more adverse effects and have more neurotoxicity than the dex counterpart?

Maybe I'm completely off base here.
uBO and uMatrix on Firefox are more capable. For example, uBO on Firefox can block trackers masquerading as first-party requests.

Also Google is going ahead with deprecating the necessary APIs in Manifest v3, going with a Safari-like model for content blocking, which is far less capable. Soon uBO, uMatrix, Privacy Badger won't be possible at all on top of Chrome.

<shudder> AppleScript was my first self-guided investigation into programming, and I gave up. Followed by scripting for web with PHP & JavaScript (which is its own mess). Only with Python was I able to pick up the practice, and then only because my worked moved into accounting—programming language and objectives are closely aligned.
For me it is my God. :)
I find swift really good in terms of ease of coding and speed. But yeah, I would have preferred Julia or something than swift.
Nonsense. Sorry to be so harsh. China could, today, take over Taiwan. No doubt about that. The US could certainly make that difficult or impossible depending on the situation, though I think US involvement is the big unknown here.

> Chinese premiers have stated...

US senators and congresspeople have stated all sorts of crazy things too, but it doesn’t mean much. If China were to sacrifice over 500 million people to take over Taiwan, there isn’t anything stopping them from doing so today besides that statement being untrue.

China has a lot of Communist Rhetoric in the general speech patterns of the government, but if you stop and think for a second the Chinese, like everybody else, are just people. They drift cars and buy iPhones and go to the grocery store. The willingness to kill 500 million to invade Taiwan is probably not there.
>Not sure they have an AES accelerator

The ARM chips in the all of the Raspberry pis do not have AES accelerators. Encrypting your pis drive is going to be a serious hit on performance like you said. I don't recommend it.

If you really really really want to encrypt your Rpi then you need to use a disk cipher like Adiantum. It is based off of ChaCha12 and was made specifically for low end CPUs that lack AES accelerators.

I'm thankful this is his attitude. I think part of the appeal of Bevy is that it is built in Rust, and you are meant to use Rust in building your project. I think it pushes the design to make working in Rust as optimal as possible.

Thank you. This trend where people recast everything in the 20th century to be racially motivated (but can't provide any proof, because it's like complicated) is exhausting.
Are there any other checks that one could easily do that could help with detecting these kind of random diseases early?
There's also the question of what you think is the cause of the failure.

The old theory (pushed by that ecologist Howard Odum) is that we are running out of fossil fuels, so that the "dollar/emergy" ratio peaked around 1970, which was when the US experienced it's own "oil peak" for conventional oil.

(Emergy is "embedded energy" and traces back the energy content of fuels to the sun, liquid fuels and plant-based foods have 200,000 units of emergy per unit of energy)

Circa 2000 I was worried about running out of energy and I did some monte carlo simulations about solutions (use less fuel, find alternative sources, ...) racing problems. It seemed possible to me that problems would win, but I never convinced myself that it was certain or even likely.

In the age of fracking "running out of oil" seems distant, but now we are concerned with climate change. That's a tougher one because market mechanisms automatically push people to solve the "running out of energy" problem but the 50-year time delay prevents that from working against climate change.

---

The other theory is that we're experiencing "cultural rot" of some kinds and that our problems can be fixed by fixing a damaged culture.

(The thought of that is exhausting, but you can get further arguing with Republicans than you can arguing with the law of conservation of momentum)

The most interesting culture that "seems to work" is China right now.

In a stable communist society (e.g. post-revolution) the communist party comprises an elite of perhaps 2% of the population. It's not too different from how it is here, but it is institutionalized so that really inferior people (e.g. the Hapsburgs and Romanoffs) don't entrench themselves in power and that superior people have a chance of moving in.

It is a mechanism for enforcing loyalty (communists who fail get sent to the proletariat) but Xi is re-focusing it in on recruiting and developing a person who is more "Expert" than Red". No longer will you get membership in the party because your uncle fought in the cultural revolution.

However, culturally uniform societies have a big problem: they are excellent at covering problems up in the short term. They have a hard time with dangerous technologies such as air travel, nuclear power, etc.

People in the US don't agree about the details, but we all agree that racism is a problem. We ask what race you are on the census. People in France are "all french" so they don't ask. In China they kill the Uyghurs and would block this message because I said that.

A diverse and high-performance society could be more honest and more able to deal with dangerous technology. (e.g. nuclear power, space travel) If we react by stepping on the gas instead of the brake, the U.S. could rise to the "Chinese Challenge" by taking competition to a place where a closed society can't go.

I needed something similar for a javascript project and stumbled upon this excellent library by pieroxy that worked flawlessly: https://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/lz-string/index.html

base65536 looks pretty similar to that except that base65536 is not as much focused on compression than it is on "copy-paste-ability".

Shoco is another excellent library that comes to mind for shorter strings: https://ed-von-schleck.github.io/shoco/
>Who would want to use an Apple-centric language for ML, seriously? Apple hardware is outright incompatible

Based on how you wrote your comment, I'm guessing you may not know this S4TF is a Google initiative.

Yes, Chris Lattner used to work for Apple but he was at Google Brain during the start of this project. When his team wanted to create a language where automatic differentiation and gradient descent was a 1st-class concept in the core syntax (i.e. without libraries) of the programming language , they looked at Rust, Julia, Swift, etc[1]. They ended up choosing Swift as the base language to extend with new ML syntax.

Also, Chris has said in previous interviews that he thought of Swift as general purpose language and that hoped it would be used outside of Apple's ecosystem.

EDIT to address the confusion where some assume Apple hardware dictates the direction of S4TF: For those not aware, Google's hardware TPU (Tensor Processing Unit)[2] is built with custom ASIC chips and not ARM nor Apple Silicon chips. Presumably, S4TF would run natively against Google's TPU. In other words, the goals and execution targets of S4TF are not restricted by Apple's ecosystem of macOS/iOS/Macbooks/iMacs/iPads in any way. Yes, the SwiftUI framework is Apple-specific but Swift-the-core-language-syntax[3] is not.

> You recognise no other ethics? You abrogate all ethical judgements to your narrow viewpoint, apparently leaving none for others - of all other religions

The rule of reciprocity is part of many ethical traditions, as is general respect for temperance and self-control in sexual matters. So I'm not sure how christianity is alone or even 'narrow' in this respect. Of course we should not be judgmental of people for what they do in private, since they're not involving anyone else and can be assumed to act with at least basic responsibility. But those who actively promote lifestyles and ideologies in the public sphere can be fairly criticized.

Like it or not, promoting a lifestyle or ideology such as LGBTQ+ means making very specific claims as to how "others should live their lives" and we all should be free to choose whether or not to further promote these claims and values.

I'll have to watch Adam's episode, but I watched a Netflix documentary five years ago (don't recall the name) that presented the argument that it was primarily the (cotton?) industry that lobbied to classify weed as illegal, because they wanted to destroy the hemp industry (and succeeded) as they were producing clothing.

So it sounds like original bad intent (destroy competition) led to it being abused for further bad intent (racism).
That would fail the test, "would the consumer find the name confusingly similar", and thus would be a trademark violation.
Working on expanding it outside of the Apple/iOS ecosystem but many (probably most) developers use Mac. You can write Swift code in Linux right now.

I’d also say that it appears that Swift is going to be a great language for machine learning. Things like calculating gradients are built in to the language and you can import Python to fill in gaps until Swift libraries are ready. And Swift is quite fast.
On the subject of syntax...

There is quite old precedent in OSS for creating a brand new project rather than taking the name of the old one. Whether it's because the old one was abandoned, wouldn't incorporate changes, needed functionality had to break the ABI, legal/regulatory issues, copyright issues, etc, forking a project with a new name is commonplace in OSS. Probably most commonly as "-ng" (Next Generation) project names.

You already have the right to copy all of someone's years of hard work, add a tiny patch, and pass it off as your own project with a new name. The very least you can do is give respect to the original author by allowing them to keep their original name.

Then there's potential for libel. Let's say you fork a project, keep the original name, and then pepper the project with Nazi propaganda. The original author is trying to get a job, and his resume has the name of the original project. A prospective employer searches the name and finds the new project (with the old name) full of hate speech. If he gave away the old name, a libel suit to change the new project's name may fail, and his reputation might be forever tarnished.
Is this (future of tf is in swift) still the case? Because there have been speculation esp. when lattner left google.
Also projects like Jax has gained good momentum.

It's interesting that they picked Amazon Go as an example of the power of AI (or ML) when in actuality most of the grunt work in those stores is done by "dumb" sensors AFAIK. The store "knows" that an item has been picked up from a certain shelf and thus it assumes that the item is what is usually on that shelf, it has little to do with either CV or AI in general, just careful placement of the items and weight sensing. I think that if you let a few kids roam free in there picking stuff up and setting it down in an unexpected place the magic of AI would dissolve into thin air.
Well yes there are. We have seen that with both alcohol and sugar. And with alcohol we have seen how horribly wrong it goes when you try to treat a medical problem - addiction - by using the legal system. It doesn't work.

I am not sure that OOP "isn't helping". I am not exactly an OOP fanboy, but we have to admit that, both inside and outside the industry (I'm thinking open source and hobby projects), OOP has contributed something. The industry has a lot of inertia, but it did eventually moved from assembly to high-level procedural languages, and from high-level procedural languages to OO languages.

However to what extent the move to OOP rather than FP (or logic programming) for instance is accidental rather than rational is a question one may ask. Javascript has nothing special but is wildly used just because it benefited from its quasi-monopoly on web scripting.

I think the problem is efficient, easy, correct: pick two.

With "easy" meaning not only "easy to program with" but also "easy to learn" and "easy to hire people".

Programming paradigms are false dichotomies. One can do pseudo-OOP with a procedural language, imperative in FP, FP-style in OOP. Not to mention the existence of multi-paradigm languages. Paradigms are merely about which programming style a language make easier, what is supported "out of the box".

The problem is then for the user to pick the right main paradigm for the task at hand. This is where programming becomes a craft - just like a proof strategy in mathematics is not dictated by the formalism, but is chosen based on intuitions (that is, expertise).

If there is no silver bullet, then maybe, from a programming language perspective, one can have a language that let us chose different pairs in (efficient, easy, correct) at different times. It is well-known that dynamic scripting languages make prototyping easier, but may not be viable in terms of efficiency and correctness for a finished product (Gradual typing tries to reduce this gap, it seems). Automatic memory management (garbage collectors) and more recently, languages with built-in concurrency features (instead of direct manipulation of OS threads) makes it easier to make less incorrect programs at the expense of some efficiency.

If we admit there is no silver bullet, then can we however to build silver bullet factories?
Careful, folks. S4TF is pretty much dead on arrival. It was pushed aggressively by Chris Lattner (for obvious reasons) but he left Google a while ago and since then most internal users lost interest. There's nothing in Swift that's inherently suitable for ML and building the ecosystem is a ton of work; without all the political pushing, it went nowhere and is close to a "semi-abandoned research project" phase.
If people are willing to die for the cause then conversation or listening is not going to accomplish anything.

I was curious about this so I dug up an early comment thread about Theranos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6349349

There is some optimism about the Theranos mission, and a lot of skepticism about their implementation. Most of the comments are centred around the composition of the board and (correctly) surmise that the lack of medical expertise is a huge red flag.
On what should you be:

> This guy has gone to the zoo and interviewed all the animals. The tiger says that the secret to success is to live alone, be well disguised, have sharp claws and know how to stalk. The snail says that the secret is to live inside a solid shell, stay small, hide under dead trees and move slowly around at night. The parrot says that success lies in eating fruit, being alert, packing light, moving fast by air when necessary, and always sticking by your friends.
His conclusion: These animals are giving contradictory advice! And that's because they're all "outliers".

> But both of these points are subtly misleading. Yes, the advice is contradictory, but that's only a problem if you imagine that the animal kingdom is like a giant arena in which all the world's animals battle for the Animal Best Practices championship [1], after which all the losing animals will go extinct and the entire world will adopt the winning ways of the One True Best Animal. But, in fact, there are a hell of a lot of different ways to be a successful animal, and they coexist nicely. Indeed, they form an ecosystem in which all animals require other, much different animals to exist.
