I haven't tried Fable 3 yet, but I can speak to Fable 2 (F#) vs ReScript/ReasonML (OCaml).

F# was heavily inspired by OCaml, it was originally intended as "What would OCaml look like running on .NET?" so the languages themselves share a lot of similarities.

ReasonML pros:

- ReasonML compilation times were much faster than Fable 2, but Fable compile times weren't bad. OCaml is ridiculously fast.
- OCaml has an interesting module system that's missing from F#.
- The toolchain feels a lot more lightweight than the whole .NET toolchain.

Fable pros:

- I found interop with JS and OOP stuff much easier in Fable than in ReasonML
- Fable has a tool for converting TypeScript definitions to Fable definitions - though it hasn't always worked for me for more complex type definitions
- I prefer F#'s whitespace sensitive syntax over OCaml, but that's just personal preference
- F# type providers are pretty cool
- F# has an interactive mode, and you can write standalone scripts (eg. for devops)
- If you want to write a web backend in the same language, F# on .NET is much more mature in the web space than OCaml.
Bezo's wealth comes from his shares, which he had since the beginning. 20 years ago, anyone who worked at Amazon could have used a small fraction of their wages to buy Amazon shares. If they had, they'd be millionaires. However, that's a risk that only already rich people are willing to take.

We were taught about climate change in the first grade in the early 80's with some fairly graphic imagery (think gas masks and deserts). More of the focus was on ozone depletion and acid rain. I don't remember any of it being political or controversial until I was in high school in the 90's.

We're going to need to coin a new version of Godwin's law.

Local realism is ruled out by the Bell inequalities and concomitant experiments. When Donald Trump provides some mathematical proof of any of his claims, then you can compare these two positions. But until then, please choose your analogies with more care.
> No one yet has responded to me why it's such a great idea for billionaires to exist. I wonder if an argument could even be made that didn't even a personal fantasy/wish fulfillment scenario.

K, here's one, whether or not you accept it. I don't think the world would have SpaceX or Tesla were it not for the existence of billionaires.

Elon Musk already had a billion before founding/buying these companies. If he had "maxed out" and couldn't make any more money, I think there is a good chance he wouldn't have taken risks on these companies. I think we are better off with the existence of companies like these.

Even if you don't like Tesla or SpaceX, these are just examples. There are a lot of other companies that would not exist as well, especially if you consider the potential scarcity of funding in this scenario. And without their existence we would all be worse off.

There are downsides to having billionaires too, but it's pretty disingenuous to pretend there aren't upsides as well.
I think a number of people have mentioned it but I don't think Google let her go because of either her email or paper. Her email alludes to there being tensions already present between her and her superiors for at least a year. It sounds like they may have already tried to have let her go. However, legally, they could not.

This latest event gave them an opportunity, since, she essentially gave them an ultimatum. Perhaps after last year's legal success she felt she would have the upper-hand and didn't expect them to actually decline her conditions.

Honestly, the focus on the paper is coming more from her and her supporters trying to spin it (although I'm sure many truly believe it) to make it sound like she was fired for trying to uncover ethical flaws at Google. When in reality, it sounds like she was difficult to work with and burnt a lot of bridges
Sometimes not doing that is the best option
Which, if I understand correctly, is in fact what happened. Or did I get lost in this saga somewhere?

I think that point one is true in many games, but cold war is probably not one of them. There are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of people queuing for a game of black ops cold war at any given point in time. Even if you divide by ten different queues, there should be enough granularity to give decent matchups to people at all skill levels.

And I don't know if I would call combined arms or dirty bomb signature modes. 6v6 is the bread and butter of the annual call of duty.

Wouldn't it have been better to just taste the meat patty without such strong flavors to mask any weirdness? If I was eating the first lab-grown chicken burger, I think I'd want to try it as plain as possible first (i.e. bun and maybe not much else).

Either way I'm happy about the progress. Maybe lab grown meat will stand a better chance of eliminating factory farming than plant based meats.
The issue here varies by game.

It was most apparent in Fortnite because Fortnite added a competitive ("arena") mode, which is by definition SBMM. The problem a lot of creators had was what was the point in unranked mode ALSO having SBMM? I'm sympathetic to that argument.

Forcing SBMM in all cases just seems like it's meant to protect n00bs from getting crapped on but isn't this coddling players? There's something aspirational about playing better players, no? Also, "smurfing" (creating a new account to play against n00bs) largely defeats this anyway.

If n00bs wanted to play against only other n00bs couldn't they play in ranked mode where that would happen?

More relaxed modes tend to be better viewing. That's actually good for the game IMHO if streaming it has longevity and audience retention.

There is "legally liable for retaliation" and "morally liable". I think you are right, they aren't legally liable. I personally try not to be morally liable for an injustice, even if my actions are legally defensible, and I expect the same from the people I work with. I think many people at Google feel similarly, which is why the question of legal liability will not settle the matter internally.

But yeah, another lesson from this: never offer to quit.

Practice. You were talking about practice... I'm sure all the esports games have a practice. But that really only satisfies the situation where you have full teams available.

Also, a lot of pros make more money from playing the game without a team and streaming it on twitch or youtube.
> but what you really should be looking at is the relative error

This actually depends on the specific problem you're talking about, and there's also the issue of forward vs. backward error. Unless you're doing something that requires additional care, unit-testing against abs(expected - actual) < 0.001 is relatively safe (and if you are, then God help you).

100% agree on the rest of the comment, requiring numerical methods to converge to a specific IEEE 754 double precision floating point is just dumb.
Common Lisp not only explicitly has the notion of compilation as a part of the language definition and standard library, but the language is/was also traditionally seen as ripe for native compilation. Efficient and serious compilation of Lisp dates back to at least the late 70s.
One thing to keep in mind is people struggling to make ends meet don't have time to learn and will struggle to find motivation to dedicate themselves to something. For me it was quite easy to be ambitious and learn a lot, because my basic needs were taken care of growing up. Others join the workforce at 16 and their income is important for their family.

Better to word it as "I believe the company should X instead of the current W, and to that end I will work with Y and Z to come up with a plan for moving to W' and what that should look like, once that is complete I will have better clarity over how to get to (W+X)/2, or if perhaps some V would actually be better for all parties.
I think there's a place for HR to help somebody give feedback about social or work-style issues. If somebody has a track record of getting defensive with face-to-face feedback it might be useful to have a manager present as a mediator and go through a formal process.

That's just not the same as giving scientific feedback in the review process for research and shouldn't be in the way there.
You left out a key part in this simplified formula - you pay $X and make $Y from the work, and you do this for N people. If you leave X and Y the same and scale N down to like 50 or 100 employees, you have a good old hard working American business that's creating solid working class jobs. When you scale N up to an almost inconceivably large number (Amazon has over a million employees) you get an owner with an inconceivably large fortune.

The problem with just taxing it all away to prevent him from being a billionaire is the money is tied to control of the company, so it's equivalent to saying nobody can build a business bigger than some arbitrary limit. Which is equivalent to saying nobody can build a business with more than a certain arbitrary number of employees. Where would any of us work if that were the case? It's not at all a given that you would get millions of new small and medium businesses that would completely make up for that gap you'd have from lopping off every big company at a couple billion dollar market cap. The world is just not zero-sum like that as much as progressives might (either deceptively, or obliviously) pretend that it is.

> Paul would never fund a founder who wanted to divide all profits among employees

While YC might not recommend a founder take literally 0% equity, they are hugely supportive of founders giving more equity to employees and keeping less for themselves and have done a lot to move the industry in that direction https://blog.samaltman.com/employee-equity

> Yann didn't say anybody about harms nor did the guy he was replying to (who talked of dangers)

This feels like unreasonable semantics. The dangers are precisely the danger of causing harm. The harms therefore are concrete results of theoretical dangers manifesting. They aren't different.

> In particular Yann did not suggest in any way a) there are no harms

I agree, and I've said as much.

> b) that harms are only related to biased training sets

He did, insofar as he suggested that the dangers were due solely to bias in the training set, which is implied when he says that if you train the same model on different data, everyone looks African. Like yes, that is true, but it doesn't reduce the harms (or dangers, if you want to be precise). It just creates a different set of biases with a different set of potential harms (which again, are "dangers").

I'm not seeing a strawperson.
It is common to submit for approvals hours before the deadline. However, if pubapprove process finds something that needs to be redacted, you have to withdraw the paper. That's basically the risk in it.

> Unlike Apple customers, the rest of the population is sensitive to performance and cost. If Google can't compete people move on.

Maybe they meant both independently. As an example:

- A friend of mine just upgraded out of his iPhone 6. Until recently performance and storage seemingly just weren't that important to them.

- Another friend of mine will just buy iPhones, no matter the cost.

Both of these friends stick with Apple because they like and care about other things about the ecosystem more so than performance or cost (independently), whereas OP was perhaps implying that Android users tend to care more about "performance to cost ratio" since they could as well just buy a different phone from another maker and get the same Android experience. This of course, in the context sticking with one phone maker or another.

That isn't how SBMM works. If you play a team with higher ELO, the amount of ELO you win/lose changes based on the skill differential. The eventual averaging is not how the algo finds your skill level. If you play a worse team than you are expected to win with X probability, that is what you are judged against.

Also, just to be clear, no implementation is this simplistic. Most models are Bayesian and so incorporate uncertainty around the estimate of skill. And most also include your individual stats (this is game-dependent but I believe Overwatch has a class/map-based ELO that you are rated against...as an example).

I agree with your general point though. Most SBMM systems do not feel close games every time. Usually, someone is smurfing, someone is throwing, someone won't come on comms, etc. (yes, I play Overwatch and I am still angry about it).
Estimating revenue past web performance efforts
Assuming it's something like an Elo rating you can always opt out of skill-based matchmaking and request a specific opponent skill; if you win you will not win any rating, if you lose you will lose a lot.

Content creators for chess also do "speed runs" from 1000 to 2500 Elo for example where they explain the mistakes and produce educational content while playing "easy" opponents. They don't do it just for the fun of owning people. CoD creators perhaps could do the same?

Also if we look at the so-called "self-made" billionaires, Bill Gates went to a fancy prep school where grammar school students had access to a computer in the late 1960s. His great grandfather was a bank president, and he was born with a million dollar trust fund. His mother was on an executive committee with the CEO of IBM.

Zuckerberg went to a high school, current tuition cost of which is over $57000 a year.

Warren Buffett's father was a congressman, his grandparents owned a retail business. Buffet was sent to an Ivy League school.

Beyond this, Kleiner Perkins did
not give Jeff Bezos millions in VC back in 1996 because they liked him. He was around then, but they were too. As well as the employees shipping out books then. As well as the employees shipping books out now. Kleiner Perkins gave money then, anticipating the exploitation of Amazon factory (and non-factory) workers now. The company was not built with Bezos as some Atlas figure. It was built by millions from Kleiner Perkins in 1996, and by the exploited people doing the work there every day.

Bezos was given billions for successfully doing this. It does not waive away the expropriation of surplus labor time of those who work there.
Neckties used to be a thing. I haven't worn any of mine for about ten years. Since retiring I haven't worn most of my collared shirts or smart trousers.

Thanks. I've been finding more and more "things everyone knows is true" that turn out to be false lately, and they're always things you'd never suspect.

I'd always assumed the idea of youngest siblings being the most extroverted, personable, bubbly etc. was supported by studies, it's such an "obvious" fact. Very valuable to find out it's yet another unfounded assumption!

Always useful to spread these things.
That isn't the impression I had from reading the principal's statements, to wit:

> Unfortunately, this particular paper was only shared with a day’s notice before its deadline — we require two weeks for this sort of review — and then instead of awaiting reviewer feedback, it was approved for submission and submitted.

It seems like someone short-circuited the review process and submitted without review to meet a deadline, with a post-submission review. When this occurred, it was not all green lights. The expectation is that you then pull the submission and, post review, submit elsewhere. After all, conferences are all virtual now, it is not a hardship to submit elsewhere.

If you have other information as to the facts or the internal process do tell.
> Politics is fine

it really isn't. it's bottom-quality content, everyone can have an opinion about politics, it's too easy. Every subreddit > 100000 has a politics problem because people have now been conditioned to see politics everywhere. It takes effort to keep things topical. And then, even the politics subreddits themselves are completely confused, e.g. r/libertarian is a mostly socialist sub now.
Yeah, and some brands just charge a premium for the name and the "Fashion". There is definitely more than just "Pay more".
> why are they legal

Worker strikes arent something you can legislate away unless you're going to start forcing people to work, which is, uh, let's say widely frowned upon.

If you want to end strikes, you'll need to convince workers that showing up is in their interest.
Thank to you, Ron (Erann, as your site explains) for your answer.

I have read a number of texts and books, and viewed a number of videos. Too many totally ignore the point. Even among the better ones, I’m unsatisfied. There is something different in the way you tell it.

I have looked at the beginning of your video and switched to your text. It looks like you explain things differently from other people, which feels like you aren't afraid of going straight to what is important. Even the arxiv link from a different author feels promising. Thanks again!

Riot used all kinds of clever tricks to fix this. Your skill would get smeared to other accounts playing from your network and they would rapidly adjust skill estimates when you outperformed for several games in a row. A fascinating challenge to be sure.
And indeed those workers who get paid, can save and invest that money to enhance the productivity of other workers and get a return. Generally the higher risk of losing the money, the more return you can potentially get. Some of those workers will hit the jackpot and get a great return.

Is it morally wrong?
it sounds like a CoD socialist utopia simulator where every player has an equal outcome regardless of skill: 1.0 k/d. k/d creeping above 1.0? Let's distribute those gains to other players by curbstomping you for a bit. K/d falling below 1.0? Here's a couple of easy and free "k/d UBI" matches to boost you up. Who could have guessed this results in a mediocre gameplay experience?
This amazes me every time I think about it. I have a few t-shirts with prints that are 15 years old and are still okay-ish, at least for home use, and the prints are still almost undamaged. Or winter boots that just don't break in 10 years or so, I only replace shoelaces every few years. Or a winter jacket which is also good looking at 7 or 8 years old. All that is after daily use during season.
Every time I'm like "wow, it's possible to endure for so long".
I think the legal situation is more complicated than you’re suggesting. It’s one thing if you’re scraping without logging in, which is possible on Reddit but of course limits you to read-only access. If you want to participate in discussions, on the other hand, you need an account, which means you’re agreeing to a EULA, which means unauthorized clients can potentially be sued over either breach of contract or contractual interference. Maybe. I believe those legal aspects are still largely untested in this context.
Dean's statement is clear that it was approved before being submitted:

> Unfortunately, this particular paper was only shared with a day’s notice before its deadline — we require two weeks for this sort of review — and then instead of awaiting reviewer feedback, it was approved for submission and submitted. A cross functional team then reviewed the paper as part of our regular process and the authors were informed that it didn’t meet our bar for publication and were given feedback about why. [...] We acknowledge that the authors were extremely disappointed with the decision that Megan and I ultimately made, especially as they’d already submitted the paper.

There is no statement at all of how to reconcile "approved for submission" with "didn’t meet our bar for publication", which probably means that there is no reconciliation, and the cancellation was done outside normal process.
This sounds promising as there doesn't appear to be many natural or artificial substitutes to imitate the feel or taste of the meat like there are in current no-kill red meat products.
Me too, I find Tiddlywiki perfect for this kind of use!
