To be clear I'm not talking benchmarks, I have no idea what the raw numbers are. I'm talking about my personal experience using ARM SoCs. Specifically I've worked with Tegra chip and they're powerhouses for instance, I could definitely see myself do my day-to-day development on such a chip.
That's a hell of a strawman, nobody is arguing DWI should be allowed in any capacity. And to think of the children is $LOCAL_VARIANT_OF_CPS's literal job description.
Yeah, hacky and annoying af when fifty people use it on the same thread, as is usually the case. Makes Twitter’s long-form readability and usability even worse.

Its equally easy to be disappointed and show some virtual outrage via social media. To me if office workers are not putting their money where their mouth then it is not of much consequence whether they are disappointed or world weary.

Using minimum variance optimization with gold and spy produces a portfolio that is often 50% or more of gold. This beats the risk adjusted return of spy by a reasonable margin.

So I guess the point I'm making is that often a lot of gold makes sense too.

Does Goldman Sachs' misreporting of millions of transactions to the FCA align with Stripe's business ethics policy?
Yep, store of value is actually a useful function for many indivudals and companies, and we are betting on that storing of value will become more and more valueable as we progress.

Storing of value is not just "hoarding", useless activity. It is an important ingredient in making many of the business processes and just things work in general. It is a very impotant function. And thus if we have tools that make that function work well, - they will be valueable.

And as it turns out, there aren't that many things that work well as a store of value. It's not like you can take any thing or instrument or contract or whatever else, and make it work as a store of value. In some sense, the ability to act as a store of value is scarce in itself. We already have some instruments, like gold, properties, land, etc. Stocks and ETFs and such are also kinda a store of value, but have a lot problems (but also other functions besides just storing the value). So yes, we welcome another way to store value, this market is by no means saturated as it turns out. Gold has it's own problems.
The parent post didn't have enough detail, but I'd assume the dump would be using COPY for inserts. AFAIK when using COPY, the indexes are only built at the end of the command, not on each insert.
I have the same displays as you- Dell 4k @ 15" and currently using a 32" 4k (I sit 2ft away from it). I also have a Macbook Pro 16 (3072×1920). I honestly don't see a substantial difference between any of them, and I'm generally pretty picky about resolution.
So let's just make assumptions then. Disabled people should have a case prepared, and always be ready to argue it in front of people. Upon challenge, by people "inconvenienced" by your accommodations, you should be able to spend 2 minutes showcasing your disability, how it came to be, and plead for said accommodations. Maybe you could edit that "not to be a jerk" bit to "I'm a jerk, hence:".
She seems very passionate about makeing the world a better place. The only downside to this sort of drive is that it doesn't always align with everyone else's vision of a better world. I don't think she and Google were on the same page and perhaps both parties will be much happier going their separate ways.
My stomach lifted when I was reading this. You can't prescribe group percentages at any workplace, but you can try to externalize your inadequacies.
Yes. The drone was accessing the tower where cable has snapped before, so other cables there were under highest load. The fact that drone was there in the "right" moment likely just a coincidence, probability of which was increased by the hourly inspections.
You should look up what happens to canaries when people accidentally heat up Teflon too much. You can assume that at lower temperatures it's entirely safe, or just not use them and have slightly less convenience. I just chose the latter.

Is that post too fancy though? Sure, "Linnaean classification" could/should be replaced with "taxonomy" or something similar for readability, but none of the rest of the post has and uncommon references or words. The point also seems obvious, and the relevance to the post self explanatory. This rant on obscurantism seems unwarranted with reference to a post written at a pretty standard reading level.

It appears HN is not much interested in following this mission, even though it seems technically quite challenging, especially the automated rendezvous in lunar orbit.

Essentially this is an automated Apollo program.
It looks great, it feels great and from what I've seen the questions are great! Kudos!

As someone who only discovered later that you can drag the cards back and forth I think it'd be nicer for a click on the back of the previous card to navigate backwards. And it'd be cool if there was no disconnect between mouse and card movement. But consider all the things you did right if that's what I'm complaining about.
Agreed. But this is not some gig economy thing... when an institution needs to pay you and you don't have direct deposit, often they will send you a prepaid debit card instead of a check. Even the federal government does this [0]. These cards tend to have predatory fees.

Surge AI | Full-Stack Engineers | Remote | Full-Time or Contract | https://surgehq.ai

AI is going to change the world, but the advances of the past few years have been slow to translate into real-world impact. Our mission at Surge is to change that.

We’ve been developing two products:
A platform for extremely high-quality data labeling. Think Mechanical Turk 2.0, but with an elite workforce: in order to build models of misinformation and hate speech, for example, we need to leverage skilled workers who understand complex problems.
Tools for easily turning data into AI. A machine learning model is defined by its data, so anybody -- from your PM to your marketer to your engineers -- should be able to create ML models just by labeling data points.

We’re a team of ex-Google and Twitter engineers who’ve quickly bootstrapped into very healthy revenue. Reach out to team@surgehq.ai if you’re interested in chatting! Our tech stack is Ruby on Rails, React, and Python, and we’re looking for backend, frontend, and ML engineers, but love talking to talented folks of any types. (We also love personal projects and writings if you have any to share!)

Whataboutism? DWI is a different crime. There are lots of potential side effects, but those aren't inherent in the drug consumption.
Gebru wrote a research paper and circulated it for feedback. Google managers said "retract the paper because we say so." Gebru responded with "I'd rather resign (and also you suck)."
Google "accepted" the resignation (i.e. fired her).
Since the latch is only used as a component of the flip-flip and edge sensitive logic does not care about glitches except on the clock line or any asynchronous set/resets (which are not used in this design) I find that rather unimportant.

Especially because the d-flipflops found in standard cell libraries are frequently implemented as what amounts to two muxes and some inverters.

For a design that uses latches as stand-alone components the glitch considerations become a lot more important.
Honestly that is just bs.

Gold is a physical thing that is scarce and has real uses other than being treated as 'money'. We have only mined a cube with 28 meter sides of gold from the dawn of time! It's useful- that's why it has value.

If it wasn't useful (pretty for jewelry and an essential industry product) then it would be fairly worthless.

You say crypto is scarce? The scarcity is artificial, and you can create an infinite number of crypto currencies...
Was this place used in Golden eye? It looks familiar.
Some people have redefined racism to mean that it's impossible to be racist to the majority. I.e. white people.

Another argument is that it's necessary to be discriminatory in favour of minorities to level the playing field.

I share your opinion, but not everyone does.
in that case sounds like she deserved what she got
> contained an ultimatum and a threat to resign. The employer then called her bluff and accepted her resignation

A threat to resign isn't the same thing as resigning. And it seems you don't think so, either, since you characterize her threat as a bluff. It can't be both a bluff and a resignation.
Building from scratch isn't really building from scratch is my point. You build off of what you have and revisit designs. They aren't reinventing the aircraft.
Many reviews show the M1 chips offering double the compilation speed of intel based macs.
That depends on how good you are at finding needles :)

The thing not many people seem to talk about is that the 20th century had unprecedented growth in terms of population around the world (which has slowed significantly in the last few decades, although the effects usually lag by quite a bit - when the children enter the workforce and such). We're making up for some of it with technological progress, but ultimately what impact that makes is up to everyone to think about individually (look at Japan as a potential leading indicator of what demographic change can do).
In all practical senses it is scarce. It is the protocol and consensus of the people using it that makes it scarce. If you disagree, go ahead just make your own BTC and see how "easy" it is to convince other people to use it instead of BTC or some other mainstream coin. (Some people even tried exactly that...)
The emotional support loophole abuse has been going around on Facebook and Reddit as a trick to get your animal anywhere for a while now. Everyone knows the trick now and very few people care that they're abusing the system.

> You are not worth having any conversations about this, since you are not someone whose humanity (let alone expertise recognized by journalists, governments, scientists, civic organizations such as the electronic frontiers foundation etc) is acknowledged or valued in this company...I understand that the only things that mean anything at Google are levels, I’ve seen how my expertise has been completely dismissed. But now there’s an additional layer saying any privileged person can decide that they don’t want your paper out with zero conversation.

This conclusion seems so non sequitur to the argument. There is literally nothing in the previous argument to suggest that any of this was motivated by anything other than a disagreement with the report. The argument presented by the researcher is conjecture. Coupled with the fact that she threatened to sue her employer and they kept her for a year? Any reasonable employer would see that her employment is a liability and dismiss her prior to a year.

In the world of business, there is no jewel too precious to discard.
I wish there were better options for people to travel with their pets over long distances. There are plenty of horror stories of pets who have died in cargo. I would be willing to pay for a seat, or even a row, to take my dog on a cross country flight.

Setting aside the absurd cases, like emotional support peacocks, I think a lot of the emotional support animal shenanigans are simply people not wanting to cargo their pet and not having the time to drive them across the country.
Oh, do you honestly think such an "secretive, radical union cell" funded by "dark money" would be allowed to exist and interface with corporates? (words in scare-quotes would be how this would be framed by employers and the media - they may or may not throw in foreign funding, Venezuela or China could get name-dropped with zero evidence).
It's a bit higher than I was expecting for sure, but I'm not exactly mind blown by it. AMD is famously unable to sell their high end cards to the Steam audience (at least in recent years) so the ability for a new and hyped Nvidia card to sell well in a month's time (especially these months' time), is very much not surprising.

The only surprise for me here is that the stock of Geforce cards they got out is slightly higher than complainers on internet forums makes it seem. If they truly already had enough stock to cover 1/5th the demand of the RTX 2080 then their stock situation is not great but not all that bad (these numbers are not that, but an indication).
She claims to be a leading researcher in the field, but has she written any significant papers or research of note?

Her biggest accomplishment seems to be driving Yann LeCunn off Twitter with angry accusations. She tried to continue her power trip at a workplace but her boss called her bluff.

I recently re-read Noah Smith's essay "Leaders Who Act Like Outsiders Invite Trouble" https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-03-03/leader.... It's not directly on point, but one concept is: "This extraordinary trend of rank-and-file members challenging the leaders of their organizations goes beyond simple populism. There may be no word for this trend in the English language. But there is one in Japanese: gekokujo." And later, "The real danger of gekokujo, however, comes from the establishment’s response to the threat. Eventually, party bosses, executives and other powerful figures may get tired of being pushed around."

Institutions are being pushed by the Twitter mob, and by the Twitter mob mentality, even when the person is formally within the institution. And I think we're learning, or going to have to re-learn, things like "Why did companies traditionally encourage people to leave politics and religion at the door?" and "What's the acceptable level of discourse within the institution, before you're not a part of it any more?"

Colleges are inculcating an environment and culture that may not be good for working in large groups. One recent example of these challenges: https://quillette.com/2020/12/01/race-and-social-panic-at-ha....

That's all I need to know about why she was fired. I'm glad Google despite all the stuff they've done before knows when someone has gone off the SJW deep end.

The next two tweets contain more:

> However, we believe the end of your employment should happen faster than your email reflects because certain aspects of the email you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behavior that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager.

> As a result, we are accepting your resignation immediately, effective today. We will send your final paycheck to your address in Workday. When you return from your vacation, PeopleOps will reach out to you to coordinate the return of Google devices and assets.

This third part they make "the resignation" the same as firing the person in practice. No way to plan a coordinated rampdown, transition and handover of projects and responsibilities. Just an unconditional goodbye, don't come to work again.
I don’t think that for a person who lives in a world where AI shops routinely sell software that discriminate against minorities, not just in ways that are explained by poorly thought out datasets, saying you’re “so tired” is at all wrong. This is the exact research that Timnit is an expert on, and these are systems that have real world consequences for minorities. It’s easy for people who are not minorities to say you should always a be polite but frankly I think she’s being extremely polite here given all of the circumstances.
I find it strange to take issue with the "I'm so tired" line. It would seem to be entirely appropriate for circumstances where you see an argument that you have replied to many times but that completely ignores your reply. It also just doesn't strike me as particularly hostile or profane. Quitting twitter and making a show of it strikes me as a far more emotional reaction, but nobody here seems to take any issue with that?

In this case, the issue is that "it's the dataset" is attacking a straw man: nobody is accusing ML practitioners to be explicit racists actively conspiring for their models to be racially biased. Everyone understands that it is (often) a result of the underlying dataset.

But, the argument goes, understanding the genesis of such bias isn't enough to excuse it. At least not when those models are put to actual use in, say, law-enforcement contexts. Or credit agencies, or hiring decisions, or really anything.

If your dog happened to bite any red-haired kid it came across, it doesn't matter that you think red-haired kids are just as good as others, or that the dog was once mistreated by a red-haired kid. You're not going to allow the dog to get near any red-haired kids. And if you do, you'll face charges of at least negligence when some red-haired kid gets mauled.

To tie this back to AI, it would mean that as long as your models produce racially biased results, they simply aren't ready for deployment or publication. Go find better data until your work is no longer liable to inflict harm on anybody.

That's the standard for all other industries: if your car is shown to reliably kill pedestrians below a certain height in crash tests, you go back to the drawing board. Adding a sticker "don't operate car in the vicinity of children" isn't enough.

You can disagree with that reasoning (although you'd be wrong). What you can't do, as a leader in AI, is to pretend to have never heard of it, or that it is so obviously wrong that it warrants no reply whatsoever.

> have to call out the "I'm so tired" bit every time I see it.

so... I guess you're tired of it?
There's a list of Common Lisp resources on Xach's blog [1] that includes communities, which remains relevant despite being an old post.

Also, contacting one of the people associated with a blog listed on Planet Lisp [2] would ensure that it appears there and might be seen by a wide yet relevant audience.

Curious how customer support works? There’s a dispute for an ACH pull, who is handling the dispute, I’d assume the bank that has the charter? Same goes with remote check deposit, someone has to verify the check.
Are you suggesting full-equality, like zero-crime, is something that doesn't exist? Or that our notion of what equality is evolves? These are different things, e.g. like the difference between the policing of laws, and changes in the law itself.

For the former, then accept a threshold, "reasonable level of equality" such that differences are within the norms of individual diversity. Then equality is achieved.

Or focus on "equality of opportunity" which is much simpler to gauge, as it only requires that opportunity be similar e.g. a person covered by fire insurance, whose house burnt down; had the same insurance "opportunity" as someone covered by the same policy whose house didn't burn down - same opportunity, if different outcomes.

It's clear that some I&D initiatives exist because of pre-existing issues. At the very least, some of it depends on the notion of "race", and that isn't guaranteed to exist forever.
That's interesting, what is the driving factor behind the inversions? Is it the typical two groups with opposing political views or something else?

They already have created an infinite number of them. Nobody is buying them. BTC and a couple of others have the property of being valueable (which is decided in consensus by the users in the real world), while also being scarce. Nobody cares if some shitcoin on the bottom of coinmarketcap is not scarce. It is irrelevant.

So yes, useful cryptocurrencies are scarce.

we're buying game studios, and, if their projects are using Amazon-specific technologies( gamelift, f.e) we know it's an uphill battle to profitability ; games are low margin enough to take hosting and bandwidth costs into account
I'm in the same camp as this. I'd been using LastPass for about a decade and their security quiz told me I was in their top 1% of rated users.

1Password was a drop in replacement for me and my family and it even let's me save TOTP keys so that's very convenient.

It also has a printable backup key so it's beginner friendly and looks aesthetically pleasing so my partner is happier using it.

Meanwhile LastPass was still struggling with U2F/WebAuthn support when I last used them.

I don't think you really pay that much extra for an Apple machine, especially for the M1 ones. I'm afraid that when/if fast ARM alternatives arrive, they will probably cost 80-100 % of what the MacBooks cost.
So basically, if you can't afford a MacBook today, you won't be able to afford a comparable high-end ARM offering from, say, Dell.
