In the interest of explaining (not arguing), I believe the distinction is sort of that the community at large recognizes performance only on certain metrics. Let's set aside the notion of whether something or someone is "racist" because that's a bit charged. We'll instead just talk about whether we're creating generally capable systems.

For instance, if I were to champion metric A which purports to measure performance on human faces but it really only rewards performance on Senegalese then models that do better in general may not be recognized for being better.

In an isolated sense this is not a problem. However if the mainstream is that all metrics that are taken seriously are dataset-biased then we'll have an environment where the models will be trained on biased datasets in order to be successful.

For instance if everyone uses LFW to determine how good facial recognition is, then Senegalese fine-tuned facial recognition tech will not be recognized as being good at facial recognition.

So the argument is that dataset bias is built-in to our approach to the problem. I, personally, think that this isn't malice. We need benchmarks to judge approaches against each other. Benchmarks always have a first mover advantage and a massive path dependence issue. The first benchmarks aiming for things on humans do not reflect humanity accurately. These benchmarks became standard among the community. To be taken seriously you have to do well on benchmarks that are standard in the community. Dataset bias is then natural in newer approaches because the approaches are judged against how good they are against the inaccurate (if you will) benchmarks.

So no one need be racist or anything for the end result of the field to end up being discriminatory.

I don't think a successful approach is to call people racist over this. After all, it isn't malice that guides them. The discrimination comes from the sort of historical accident that has North facing up on a map. And no individual is really racist. It's sort of like the Bechdel test: no movie is crappy simply because it doesn't have two girls talking to each other, but if very few movies have two girls talking to each other about something other than boys, then it makes you think "hmmm, why's that the case".
> I'm sick of this whole schtick

I so agree with this. "Everything I don't like is a dog whistle" is the new "Everyone I don't like is a witch". It's a fallacy panacea that can serve to disregard any statement based on its wording while completely disregarding its meaning.

This looks a lot like quackery. A miracle diet that will cure almost all ailments? Sounds too good to be true.

The author encourages parents to disregard Physician advice in favor of a vaguely formulated diet advice and expensive supplements, which the author sells. Also lots of enemas and no MMR vaccines.

You pay for a Grindr subscription through Apple using IAP. Grindr presumably wouldn’t be allowed to use Stripe given their terms of use.

If one wanted to create something like Grindr but as a website instead of an app, the options for payment are extremely limited.
What I've found being the problem with this approach is that sql does not lend itself very well to composability. Sure, you can make functions, views and stored procedures and compose them. But when you start actually composing queries of these parts the could lead to different execution plans having wildly different performance characteristics.

Also tooling around SQL, i.e. refactoring tools and debuggers, is not great - if even available at all.

I would not recommend this. This will not help a founder with 2-5m in revenue and a team of 20-40 sell. This will be a waste of time.

If you want mentorship and you are a founder, I would directly message early VP's of sales and ask for help. Also, read the great Saastr blog by Jason Lemkin.

History repeats itself. Check out the story of the Molly Maguires, a somewhat vigilante labor group in PA's coal region, who were infiltrated by an undercover Pinkerton in the late 1800s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Maguires#In_the_United_S... I'm from the region of PA where this all happened, and it's a well-known story among locals.
It depends on the industry. A lot of retail companies are moving away from Amazon to avoid having competitive data flow through AWS infrastructure. Some companies may have different business units across different cloud providers but push for strategic consolidation on a major cloud provider for new implementations.

The heavier the use of cloud native solutions and managed services, the greater the effort to migrate away from those solutions. Not all workloads run on containers, and even then those applications will need some code refactoring if they depend on cloud infrastructure services (cloud specific storage, queue services, monitoring, etc)
The workflow requires RDP? That sucks. Should build some command line equivalent.
FYI, Sen. Ron Wyden is pretty much the only US congressperson actually -doing- anything about this. He is relentless in his attacks on the industry and understands the technology. I saw him at DefCon and yes, he sounds like a politician, but he's fighting the good fight.

FTA:

In a statement, Senator Ron Wyden said “Venntel has stonewalled Congress for months and refused to identify the sources of the data it is selling to Customs and Border Protection and other government agencies. The U.S. needs far stronger laws to protect Americans’ privacy, and ensure transparency about where our data is going."
I was reminded of their continued existence earlier this year when, in a strange reversal of fate, a Pinkerton shot and killed a pro-law enforcement protestor:

Isn't Columbia already the de facto global supplier of cocaine? Not of just the American market, but the... global ~~supplier~~ market.
Are you seriously arguing that whatever fraction of Americans are below "middle income category" should should be ok with not being able to house, feed, cloth, heat themselves - and somehow this would work out ok for the country as a whole?

That seems extreme.

I would assume you'd go by the market cap and trading volume of different coins. So BTC and ETH would dominate, but you'd also have to make room for LINK, XRP, DOT, etc.
Yeah, whatever. The future of consoles is not really relevant right now.

The past generation of consoles, the PS4 and Xbox something, is what gave AMD the cashflow to create their current Ryzen and Navi technologies.

The current generation of consoles is the same. AMD has guaranteed earnings that can be invested in new R&D.

Will the consoles in five years use something different? It really doesn't matter. Cashflow is cashflow.

What matters is the impressive advancement that Apple has with their M1 ARM processor. This is current technology, being sold right now.
His point is it doesn't matter what you are "guaranteed" simply because if the real world was so black and white in regards to how laws were interpreted and followed, we wouldn't be having these arguments.
> How do you manage / version assets? Git? Git LFS? ...?

I use Git LFS. It's a bit of a shit show though. Blueprints are a tricky thing to diff. I generally use the in editor tools to do commits.

> Is networking support for multiple players something that works out of the box? Or do you have to hand roll this and the server code?

I think unreal's multiplayer is quite good personally. All actor's have a checkbox as to whether they should be replicated. Blueprint support for handling RPCs is pretty good too. You can simulate client/server setups in the editor with multiple windows. To actually run online you'll likely want to get either steam's online subsystem working or epic's.

> How might I find people with experience to work with, review my code, or potentially hire?

I would try the unreal slacker's discord featured on the epic launcher.

Edit: for good laughs, here's Tim Sweeney himself tweeting a similar question in 2016 about whether git LFS is a good idea for game dev: https://twitter.com/timsweeneyepic/status/747888067248295937...

Am I the only one who still prefers doing dev work on a desktop?

I'm on a laptop right now because of WFH, but even with a full "desktop" setup (dock, 2 external monitors, external keyboard/mouse, etc), it's not as pleasant as using a desktop. Crappy graphics, a low power CPU (and only 2 cores), not as much drive space, etc. Even if I get the highest spec laptop available, for the same money a desktop will blow it out of the water.

Maybe if you're traveling a LOT it'd make sense but I have to imagine for the vast majority of people, they're in one spot most of the time. That could be a desk in an office or a fixed spot somewhere at home.
Alcohol is a very hard, very dangerous drug indeed. And with it being legal, it's a good example of what over-availability of drugs can cause. If cocaine was made legal, sold and marketed over the counter as alcohol and now weed are, I'm convinced that the ripple effects on society would be absolutely disastrous in terms of public health.

Looking at the opioid crisis for example, we can definitely see that a high availability of a substance, backed by a legal capitalist drive of selling stronly said substances, is not something that do good for society in the long run.
We're talking about more than half a million dead over the past 20 years, with many more millions whose lives are ruined.

And we're talking about a medically-sanctioned effort, with prescriptions and regulations. If opioids were marketed and sold as alcohol, legal weed or cigarettes are, can you imagine the disaster?

I think there are a lot more good people to lose to addiction than there are good people to lose to the cartels and the "war on drugs". It's a tough choice to make as a society.
We can all use the extra exercise of going up and down the stairs one more time, friend!

All non-zero prices are elevated compared to zero. All parties are consenting here.
The law was never intended to prosecute people for what they do to themselves. Furthermore this is not a "war", and if it is a war - don't you think that after 40+ years of trying to win it the people doing the fighting (the government) should be praised for wondering whether they will ever win it?

"Hey fuckface"
I'm new to Lisp, having started SICP last month, but I can answer some.

The space probes are probably just a standard serial port (RS-232 style UART), with some radio protocol that has good error correction/stability. In amateur radio, FT-8 is a slow, reliable, long distance serial protocol often used for hobbyist DX (long distance goal) communication. So likely, yes, they have a minimal shell or REPL-style debugger, where they can at least query variables, and change the machine state. Most aerospace devices use single-user Real Time Operating Systems, which have guaranteed timing on programs running, but to a technician end-user, the feeling is similar to an old Unix system, with similar tool names.

You can deploy via compilation, with SBCL, or LLVM, etc. But I've mostly seen Lisp (well, I'm looking at Schemes, specifically) extending a compiled app. It's been pretty trivial connecting Racket to my compiled C functions, and I'll try Guile later, and for me it's mostly been a rapid-development tool to work with my WIP C library.
If I search for a person by given name and family name with quotation marks around the whole string then I would expect the hits that include the text to be at the top of the list. Google manages this for my name but Right Dao does not.

If I search for my name like this: "kevin whitefoot" the first 27 hits on Google are directly relevant and my name appears in the link or in the extracted text. Right Dao on the other hand returns a list where the most of the hits do not include my name as quoted just the two words separately which means that the hits are completely irrelevant as they refer to a completely different person.

So how does one search for a person by name?
HashiCorp Terraform 0.14 General Availability
Yes. It seems to be connected with the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids by gut bacteria. Beta-glucan is also helpful in this regard; sources include porridge oats, mushrooms and supplementation.
I think the right sociological/economic perspective is that this is a proposal to take cocaine income away from drug cartels and move it to the state. This is effectively the state wanting to compete with the cartels economically.

There are potential upsides to this. A functioning government has some level of citizen representation and a justice system with some level of accountability. Drug cartels do not.

So, if you assume for the moment that coca farmers and others in the cocaine supply chain will be doing that work regardless, the question is mostly: do you want them to live within the bounds of the law and have the government be the power structure that dictates their lives, or do you want drug cartels? The former has plenty of problems and corruption. But the latter is an outright authoritarian power-by-violence regime.

Allowing people in the cocaine industry to be law-abiding citizens is probably a good thing.

Then there is the longer-term question of what incentives this change would place on society and how it would affect the scale of cocaine production. Anyone can see there's ample risk of a cobra effect here. Whether that outweighs the benefits of removing money from violent cartels is a hard question to answer.
When you describe it in a clinical way, what's the appeal of any drug? Alcohol is literally poisonous to your body. Cigarette packaging in some countries has to be plasters with images of tumorous lungs and other smoking related injuries. Caffeine is a result of evolution selecting for plants with the ability to produce a natural pesticide, but I doubt coffee and tea drinkers think of caffeine as a pesticide.
The more interesting question is: Once legal, we assume the cartels will lose profit margins as competitors move in. But, will the cartels move their violence to shutting down the competition? Or is this a bluff to calm the cartels down, because they both know it will eat into their profits.

Covid hits, Fed and US govt. unleash trillions of dollars of easy money for corporations and the stock market bubbles up to record all time highs in record time. This is unprecedented. The largest transfer of wealth program continues on and we continue to have a 9/11 worth of deaths at an alarmingly increasing frequency. Unemployment is high, food lines are staggeringly long, small businesses are cracking, and we don't support people to stay home: more stimulus money going directly to the lower socioeconomic classes is absolutely needed to help them stay home and stay safe.

So the markets are totally decoupled from the economy. Reality is gonna hit that someday and then, only then, will we see the panic go through Congress once again as they pass all kinds of amazing bills that while they do in the name of helping the little guy, it mostly provides protection to all these zombie corporations that need another dose of easy money to stay alive. So we throw away all this capital and keep the transfer wealth program alive that sucks the future out of the younger generations to keep the shareholders happy.

Socialize the losses, privatize the profits. It feels like we're about to reach a tipping point. The number of scammers, grifters, conmen is too damn high, even the president is one. What's happening?

For the same reason gold is an "investment." It's a store of value and a hedge against government controlled currencies such as the US Dollar.
Yes, all of that, 100%.

There are other surprising ways the illegality can wreck more people's lives by changing consumption in ways other than "discouraging".

Prohibition in the US is when people started drinking a lot more liquor and less beer or wine. If the thing is contraband and you have to sneak it around, better to have lower volume to sneak. But liquor is of course more dangerous in a variety of ways. (On the plus side, we owe the modern cocktail to liquor drinking in prohibition -- because people were drinking more liquor, and it was BAD liquor, you had to cover up the taste. And I do like a cocktail myself).

Similarly, someone getting fentanyl when they wanted to get cocaine is consequence of it being criminalized, and their life is really going to get wrecked, and it was criminalization that did it. Or for that matter the "crack" formulation of cocaine in the first place is a consequence of the criminalized market, it was invented to fit the "business" needs of black market vendors.

Typically they're numeric diversity hiring goals, something like "40% of our new hires should be women" or "10% of our new hires should be black". You sometimes see more recruiting-targeted ones (like Gitlab's pledge that 95% of its reachouts would be to underrepresented groups), or less numeric things like efforts to build employee affinity groups.

I guess both are a slightly different phrasing of the same thing - they're aligning their moderation effort in some way, but I'm not sure why you choose it.

If it's okay to ask: has anti-white racism been a significant problem for you in your life? For example, are you a white person who experiences anti-white bias from people you interact with?
There are people who are turned away because they are afraid of the law, of being caught, but there are also lots of people for whom the law is more informative than threatening. If I see the speed limit drop from 80 to 25, maybe I slow down because I am afraid of a ticket but I probably slow down because I trust that there is some good reason for the lower limit. If a substance is made illegal I will be hesitant to use or purchase it because I have a degree in trust in my government. I trust that someone spent time looking at a substance and made a decision. Laws, even if never enforced, can still dissuade people.

On the other hand, if one never trusts government then every law is a problem, every ban an infringement upon liberty.
> there are definitely people who only-kinda want cocaine

Perhaps, but it's pretty odd that one would accept a significant risk of catastrophic damage, but be deterred by the relatively minor risk of legal consequences. I don't think the segment you're talking about is that significant.

Come on, really? Drug consumption is a victimless crime.

The list is presumably a place to discuss issues that are specific to women’s experience working on Google Brain. “And allies” indicates it’s not exclusive, and other folks are welcome to contribute to the discussion. The reason there’s no “Google Brain Men and Allies” is because “men’s experience” is the default around which every other mailing list likely focuses.
I think the problem with the prohibition was that alcohol was widely used already and regarded as ok by most of the general public. Governments always meet a lot of resistance when they try to take away some given right.

As a counter example there are plenty of countries where alcohol has been prohibited for a much longer time and they certainly have a lot less people with alcohol problems than the US.
