So what would be a fitting punishment if sitting for 13 years in prison is not enough, when will she be done with paying her debt to society?
People get criminally charged for gross bodily harm or intent to commit gross bodily harm. It's not "tyranny" to ban knowingly spreading a plague more than it's "tyranny" to knowingly kill someone.

We're running out of things that the police won't leverage against the public.
Here in CA (possibly the rest of the US) they want to put an app on your phone to use Bluetooth to track who is in the room with you, because it’s not enough to know which end of the city block you are on at all times. Cuz, COVID!

Pardon me if I’m just a little bit creeped out.
Logic is a field of philosophy [1]. As most inductive reasoning is. It would be impossible to separate philosophy from math, and in turn math from physics. Philosophy is not intended to be a high level view but a low level one, willing to examine the core structures of any system, weather those are man made ones such as ethics or beliefs, or supposed nature laws such as the physical world.

It’s is true that some modern philosophers have done poorly to keep up with recent discoveries. However this is also true of many other proponents of different fields (i.e. neurology has been accused in lacking cognitive/computer science knowledge, biological science is often accused of lacking knowledge in statistical models). No matter the claim we don’t tend to decide entire fields of study are useless because we disagree with some of its practitioners.

Glad this person had a computer program in their prison. I think most prisons have basically no real computer access except for a horrible "email" service called corrlinks. Very embarrassing for the US.

"u".

Here, you dropped this. Omitting the 'u' doesn't suddenly change the weight of the word.
I'm guessing that means the court found the public's interest in knowing did not outweigh the listed people's interest in privacy
You click the link. You get an ID assigned to you. You install the app. It calls back home with the ID and a list of specific apps on your Android.

This tracking is happens continuously. You have to go to the settings and toggle the data collection off.

In case it wasn't clear, I am not complaining. Analytics has its place, but the Unique ID's are a bit much, especially when they want to unfk the internet.
Is it too much to ask to use the full and uncensored word 'fuck'. I personally have no problem with casual profanity when its use is warranted, and am more "offended" by people who think they need to self censor themselves.

I've never considered having a list of people I wouldn't work for, but now I do.

It's one thing to have a strong opinion on morality -- it's another to support violence against other moralities.
I agree. We should definitely have more of this and trades training for people in lock up, so they can do something productive once they get out.

Instead of hitting the weights every day, they can engage in productive learning. We all benefit.

> It's a healthy thing for societies to continuously re explore their specific boundaries of politics.

To rephrase: through political action (such as activism, lobbying and campaigning), societies should continuously reevaluate what topics are within the political sphere.

If how we decide what is or is not "acceptably" political is itself a political process, how can you honestly say certain things aren't political.

Claiming that bedrooms "aren't" is naive. There are still absolutely exist people who have and are and will continue to try and control what people can do in their bedrooms. Just because one side, and the side you presumably agree with, appears to have won the argument for now, doesn't mean that things are finished.

There are lots of things that I think should be outside of the realm of politics: basic human rights, white supremacy, a woman's right to choose. And yet.

So we return to the original question: how come those topics are "political", but in your opinion "bedrooms" aren't? (And would someone in the UK agree with you? They probably would, despite laws that affect them).

Who decided that bedrooms were off limits but uteruses weren't? How? Why? Can I change that? Those are all political questions.

And when you start into this meta-discussion of how do we make something political? The answer is pretty straightforward: you find people who are that there's an issue and you make noise about it.

When lots of people see a problem and make noise about it that problem becomes political. Disagreements, on a societal scale, are politics. So "this shouldn't be political" isn't much more than "I don't think the status quo is worth spending resources on". And, well, the people who think there's a problem will disagree on that. And thus: politics.

Yeah there are things that I wish we didn't disagree about, but I also am willing to stand by my convictions and say I disagree, instead of hiding behind "this isn't even a discussion, you're not allowed to bring up this complaint because this isn't acceptable politics". If you're fine with the way things are, say that.

SD cards is a good example, each card lists Generation, Capacity, Sequential writing speed (Speed Class / UHS Speed Class / Video Speed Class), Bus Speed.

Chargers lists Voltage, Current and Power.
Even if it's a total mess, I have to say: it blows my mind that I can hook up my Thinkpad to an external GPU over USB-C, and all the necessary data makes a round trip to render an image on the laptop monitor within the frame update time, and it powers the ThinkPad at the same time over the same thin little cable.

And it automatically detects the graphics card when I plug it in and identifies it with no hassle.

Unbelievable.
Any reason this is based on GPT-2 instead of GPT-3? (Given that the world's been going nuts over 3, I'd imagine its probabilistic model is significantly better)

Ok I'll bite also....

Your theory is that HR should take actions to social engineer a culture to accomodate women.

I propose that any attempts to social engineer a culture via HR or any non-organic method is a doomed enterprise from the start.

You also will have to social engineer a culture that fits other groups.

What about older developers? What about different race developers? What about cross-gender developers? What about Ahmish developers who only use pen and paper? What about Indian culture vs Korean culture vs Chinese culture vs American culture?

It rapidly becomes a slippery slope of accommodating each and every cultural difference.

Then you have side effects. Also, after these HR corrections, what if workplace culture becomes so biased towards one group such that other groups are excluded?

The emphasis on 'culture fit' is itself an exclusionary idea by nature as it implies that there is a pre-set culture to fit into instead of the culture emerging organically from the employees.

Basic, minimum work provided culture does not need to be inclusive it needs to be tolerant and fair, and that is all.

The goal is not inclusivity towards any one group, the goal is a to award performance based on hard work, talent, productivity, etc.

Engineering a culture is a ridiculous and to be frank, creepy idea. and is a fruitless doomed endeavor.

Instead of HR focusing on a more inclusive culture they need to be focusing on objective empirical ways to measure employee value and the culture issue will sort itself out.
to be fair the interactions between brace initialization and initializer lists is a completely new mess.

What's wrong with that, though? Of course there's going to be a while where we have to deal with both standards, but that's true of everything. I have a USB A-to-C hub sitting on my desk. It's plugged into my Mac Mini's USB-C port, and all the legacy stuff plugs into it. That's not such a terrible situation.
People change, especially after being punished for the mistake they made for 13 years. Chances are she would be less likely to engage in violence than the people you currently sit next to, because she has a personal understanding of the harsh punishment it would involve.

Edit: The downvotes that this comment is currently receiving actually illustrate the problems outlined in this thread. If you disagree with the idea that people can change, you will never hire someone with a criminal record, and you will perpetuate the problem. The unemployment rate among felons in the US less than 2 years after release is 31.6% [1]. The unemployment rate at the peak of the Great Depression was 24.9% [2]. It is always the Great Depression for the felon population, because of the incorrect belief that people can’t change. Among any population with unemployment this high, there will be a drastically higher crime rate.

I am speaking of the time before that decision, which was only made in response to overcrowded hospitals once COVID was widespread here.

I understand the reasoning at the time was to prevent hospitals from needing to turn more people away, by shifting patients who didn't need intensive care back to other facilities (nursing homes) that could handle them. But I agree 100% it was a bad decision and made the situation much worse in NY.
Are you comfortable being judged on the worst thing you've ever done in your life?

Sure, a violent crime is worse than some bone-headed mistake made at a college party, or whatever your worst moment is. But how much have you grown up since then? Would you do it again? Or are you older and wiser? Well, they are probably older and wiser, too.

Sokoban puzzles are very close to math-complete (in the same sense as in Turing-complete or NP-complete).

Ockham's Razor leads me to believe it's much more probable to find an alien (or animal or ML) entity good at math than an alien entity overfitted for complex Sokoban puzzles.

Now, I may undermeasure (maybe they're very intelligent but suck at spacial reasoning) but it would be hard to overmeasure (if they can do this kind of math, I'd like to hire them, period).

I'd bet that a shallow transformer that was distilled on gpt2, possibly with quantized weights, would easily win. GPT2 isn't optimized for size at all, but there are tons of ways to do so.
Thanks, these are great suggestions, I'll make sure to use them!
I don't fully agree with your second point. The way iCloud on an iPhone works, users have no chance to encrypt data before uploading it. Most people are only tangentially aware of what data is siphoned automatically by the service.

It would be the responsibility of the iCloud service to encrypt data (if Apple had chosen to do so, and a user opts in). Simply choosing not to delete encrypted blobs is not the same thing. The salient point is that Apple was _going_ to offer encryption as a part of the iCloud service, but dropped the feature at the FBI's request.
Often people will learn something and then that thing will become intuitive even though it wasn't before. As an example, we've all had that calculus teacher that thought everything was obvious and students were dumb (or programming). Most of us struggle and THEN it becomes obvious. In fact, on a forum like this you might see people respond that they didn't struggle and it was intuitive and we won't know if that's real or if they struggled and just forgot (which our brain does a lot).

TensorFlow and PyTorch fit the bill, their underlying implementations are C++/CUDA/hand-optimized kernels and the APIs are all reachable without Python. They're kind of monsters to deal with in terms of scale, speed of change, weird build systems in the case of TF, but the code is there.
Sure. But it's often that people "know" something that is false. The expression "like pulling a band-aid" is a great example. It's what doctors and nurses believe to the degree that they willingly torture their patients because they believe honestly they are reducing total suffering. But they are wrong.

Lots of people still do this today. Especially for old computers that are hard to get disk drives for.

There are even programs, like the ones in the PET era, that will speed up the audio so that the "tapes" will load faster.
