> Should the company ban, say, oil and gas companies from GCP because a few people get angry on industryinfo

I mean, maybe. They'd ban them if the few people were the owners and the SVPs.

If they company did, they'd be within their rights to. The only problem would be all the money they'd leave on the table. Usually (1), that's been the backstop against corporations operating with their private ethics on their sleeve; corps that make a habit of leaving money on the table tend to get left behind by the market.

If Google started banning GCP use for ethical reasons, some other company would step up to fill the gap; no doubt.

(1) Usually. Chik-fil-A supports conversion therapy for LGBTQ people and Hobby Lobby's owners have used their assets for "art acquisition" that was illegal.

Here's the timeline I get:

- Timnit submits a paper to a conference about environmental costs of large language models like BERT. Note Google invested massively in BERT for their infrastructure this year.

- Right before the external deadline, she submits it for internal review

- Internal review asks for revisions, they want mitigations they worked on mentionned at minimum in the paper.

- She responds to these with an effective "publish or I QUIT" email

- However you put it, she gets terminated.

- Gebru is somehow shocked at this and posts her half on social media

Seeing this develop over the last day, I've grown less empathetic to her side of this affair. She created an unwinnable situation, then responded with an ultimatum.

You may like cars but you're not entitled to public spaces to park it.
And without those, you may find that owning a car is rather cumbersome.
>> highly 'walkable' areas

An area does not become walkable because there are no cars. First you have to ensure that journey distances are within walking range. That means having stores, work locations, and living locations all within a kilometer or two at most (not everyone is capable of riding a bike at race speeds every day). Paris, at least some parts of Paris, might have that in place. So too maybe NYC or SF. But a great many places are not setup that way and don't have mass transit infrastructure to convert quickly.
One mistake pg makes here is assuming that to be an exploitative billionaire you have to be good at exploiting people or have personal manipulative qualities.

You don’t. Owning a large company in a capitalist system is inherently exploitative. Simply owning a large company and taking surplus value from a large number of people is exploitation.

Living in Paris here, I can’t agree more with this decision.
The whole city is very walkable, everything is within a 30min bike ride if you’re sporty enough. And the public transport is definitely world class if you can’t bike.

However this is very polarizing in France because living space is very costly within the city. And it will not decrease as building any residential space may imply destroying an historical building and disfigure the skyline.
Therefore, middle and lower class, needed to run a city like this are pushed to live in the suburbs. Where public transport is not as good as in the city center, so people need cars...
I hope this decision will help find solutions to solve this inextricable problem, which might be the challenge of the decade for the city of love.
The article is more about how AlphaFold works, not about how useful it is in practice, which the article should focus on with this title. You should have selected a title that's more in line with the article.

Or what's more interesting is to have an article about the current top use cases and companies that need protein folding, and how much money they can save on finding better drugs...now that would be really interesting to me... that would be the appropriate content for the title that you gave.
I live there, with a flat in Paris and a house 50km away.

Commuting by car or public transport takes 1h30 to 2h, so up to 4 hours a day on the bad days. Traffic is terrible. Parking is terrible. Train is OK ish and comfortable enough to work or read. Some trains (RER) are awful. Working remotely, 3 days a week around the weekend is the best.

People indeed becomes quite aggressive, even if somehow disciplined. I worked in south India earlier this year, and I found people there completely undisciplined on the road, but very friendly. Like line splitting in front of a bus with a friendly smile and a gentle press on the horn.
I went from paper to a tablet for a year (as a challenge), ended up back on paper. My boss got me into using nicer notebooks, and I've been doing it for years (about 6).
I then switched to MD files, eventually ending up using Stackedit extensively for a while similar to the tablet effort.
Now, between work, hobbies, being a DM; I've given up and spent some time in One Note... and now that's where I've
migrated everything. I'm always interested in how others do this in case they've figured something out.
I still use a paper notebook as a personal journal, important notes, etc. I also still use a notepad for those daily notes / thinking on paper that you can throw away at the end of the day.

Do you believe that you should only own a car if you have a garage or private parking pad?
I'd posit that adding a bunch of parking to a city center is also "meddling" in the lives of people who live in the city center.

That's a huge waste of a doctor to get a note saying someone has the snuffles or diarrhea.

Yes, this is the unfortunate reality. It happens to the best of software as it ages. The article doesn't address the elephant in the room: MediaWiki is really the _only_ solution to a difficult problem that we have today. Which other markup language is so comprehensive? Yes, it's unnecessarily complicated, but let's understand that the constraints are very tight: the data can't be separated out of the markup, and it's impossible to make backward-incompatible changes. Many of the really great pages on Wikipedia render beautifully.

It's untrue that they haven't added features over the years: they have, but they do it at a glacial pace. Consider one of the recent ones: when you hover over a link, a box pops up and shows a preview. They used to render math on the client-side, but now, they just convert to SVG: as a result, it loads instantly, and renders consistently. The WYSIWIG editor rollout was slow, because people felt that it would attract low-quality low-commitment edits. They first released it as an optional feature, and then turned it on by default, when they were confident that it worked as intended. Oh, and my favorite? Allowing an article to start with a lower-cased word (say iOS); I remember that there were a bunch of redirects just to correct for this deficiency.

Yes, it is a giant pain to edit some pages in that arcane syntax, but nothing else even comes close in terms of features.

Yes, there are an enormous number of templates, but in practice, an infrequent contributor just finds a page that uses a similar template, and copies it out.

Yes, there are lots of bots, and they try very hard to guard against spam, without making you sign up or even solve a CAPTCHA to edit. Plenty of bot edits are "good" edits: they revert rage-rewrites, rage-deletions, and all kinds of malicious user behavior.

What you don't understand about redirects is that, the good ones can't be automated. It's not a string-matching problem. Yes, they could automate /some/ of the redirects, and they try. I've personally never run into a typo-redirect in recent years.

Yes, it can get political at times, and it's _very_ difficult to have objective guidelines about which pages are worthy of existing. Politicians' pages often get locked, when there's an upcoming election, and this means that you need an account to edit. Again, MW has lots of great features.

Wikipedia is aging, and nobody can deny that, but who would want to do the thankless work of parsing the markup and porting it to another system, AND correct the breakages? What commercial value does it have, and who's going to fund it?
In an ideal world the HR department would be considerate of every employee's needs and there would be no need for unions. But in practice the incentive structure of the HR department doesn't allow that, so you need a competing incentive structure to balance things out (the union). Neither can achieve the goal perfectly on their own.
I think it would be enlightening but rarely done in school, is focus on the geometry of it and how the relationships are connected, such as https://math.wikia.org/wiki/Unit_circle?file=Unit_circle_ind...

I guess the bigger question is: what can we actually do with this? They keep talking about new drugs for things like cancer, but even if you find a "match" with x-ray crystallography today, that doesn't get you anywhere near a successful drug - there are hundreds more variables.
Off topic, but what's odd about COVID is that China's manufacturing sector is down as well. Even in absolute terms. It makes me realize there are things out there that I'm obviously not even aware of that cause us to pump all this CO2 into the air.

Or maybe the transportation and power generation sectors pollute far more than what I read and believed?

Or maybe clothing manufacture? Or food?

Who knows? But it's made me really curious about what it is out there that hasn't gone down during COVID? (And not just because I want to make a fast buck. It's genuine curiosity.)
Well, I don't live there anymore but did a couple of years ago, and definitely for more than two days. If anything bothered me about the subway, it was the extreme overcrowding during rush hour. If you had that much trouble with strikes and technical problems either you were extremely unlucky, or I was extremely fortunate. Definitely cheaper than owning a car, too. Can't comment on accessibility.

(There's also buses and bike shares, by the way.)
Reducing a culture to a single point of reference should self-evidently be a demeaning stereotype. If you need more evidence, I'll point out that in the specific case of making the defining characteristic being bad-ass warriors, that implies that when the bad-ass warriors get their asses kicked (by modern militaries), you are implying that they no longer have any redeeming qualities worth caring about.
You'd think there should be some technical solution to avoid the privacy issues of this. Eg make it always take one second or something.
I also went to school for CE and although we did have some algorithmic and data structures classes, I don't think they were as in-depth as the CS curriculum.

For example, the only time I ever encountered red-black trees was in the context of prepping for software interviews.
Is it your take that public health officials shouldn't have been recommending masks before studies came out specifically on covid?

Or should they have followed scientists from Asian nations that said to wear them because even though we don't have all the info, it looks a lot like other viruses we've seen where masks were helpful?
I find this rather scary - the internet is not a public utility yet it is required for more and more government services.

Lately I'd been thinking about maybe using Rust in places where I might use Go but want better types or performance. The reference types, borrow checker are partially new to me but was easy enough to pick up to use in small programs. The other thing that Go was good for was composing processing as a one way flow of pipelines, I'm sure you could do this with any libraries but Pony seems to be the more direct replacement for Go. Of course there's no ecosystem the size of either Go or Rust but if that's the only reason, using and building an ecosystem seems like the right thing to do for side projects or experiments.

Electric cars are still extremely polluting. Tire and break dust is the majority of pm 2.5 particulate pollution in US cities and there is a growing body of research that shows reducing these emissions is a huge impact on our general cognitive ability and happiness (particulate air pollution makes us statistically significantly dumber). As with anything, I’m pretty happy with allowing what the market will support. Accurately pricing parking and making people pay the market rate for parking will drastically reduce car use. This is the plan is Paris (reducing free parking) We don’t need to ban cars, we just need to stop subsidizing them.
Well basic web analytics can come from the http logs. Should we tell people we're logging their HTTP request before we allow them to use our system?

Web Analytics and privacy seem to be the buzzword theme for people to blog about. I get it, there is lots of interest in this area since some companies have been clearly taking the mick on this front. However, it seems to me, lots of people are just going on their high horse for nothing. This blog post has a postscript about paying users for the info, on this subject someone tried to sue Google for using captcha for machine learning training. The judge said it was ridicous idea to expect to get paid for 2 seconds worth of work and we wouldn't expect it in person.

At this point in the internet, with the amount of public scandals about data and data collection there has to be some level of awareness of what happens when you go onto a website. The whole informed consent is craziness which we wouldn't apply to any other industry. We don't have informed consent for tracking that happens by supermarkets. We don't have informed consent for the public CCTV systems. Why? Because the reality is, no one cares expect those few that inform themselves.

This informed consent nonsense created the cookie banner hassle, seriously I hate that law as a user but not as the person implementing. Implementing it is super easy and done once. As a user, I need to click yes on so many sites it's unreal. And the cookie banner law is basically unenforcable. So people like this author are literally just making the internet worse and not better.

Informed consent is the talk of someone who wants to sound right but not make a difference. The real difference is in the processing of data and that is where GDPR really comes into play, it makes dealing with data something you're now careful about. GDPR as a consumer I love it (except the extra banners), as someone who has to implement it, I hate it. And that is how a data law should be. Easy for the consumer hard for the companies.
> I agree with your point that tacking all of this onto the existing (flawed) Thread API is a risky move.

This is not what Loom does, though. Virtual threads are not using the thread API. They are (Java) threads; no more and no less than today's threads. Just as people don't normally use the java.lang.Thread API directly to use today's threads, there's no reason why they should use it with virtual threads.

> One advantage that colored functions do have is that you see it and "know" that the thing involves expensive and/or blocking work.

It gives you the illusion of knowing something that you don't really. The OS, or the Java runtime, can and do pause your thread at any point for durations that are between orders of magnitude shorter and orders of magnitude longer than some blocking operations. There is no useful semantic knowledge you can extract from knowing something is "blocking" to the point that it's a meaningless designation. It does mean something in "single-threaded" languages like JavaScript, or when programming hard realtime software, but not in ordinary Java. You're wasting a syntactic "colour" on zero bits of information.
Your math doesn't make sense. 25% because Apple chooses better solutions, and then you finish with only 10% better design? Is it only a better design if it's not more expensive? So you get to decide that? Does BMW not get credit for better design than a Ford Focus because it's more expensive?

I guess it doesn't really matter. Apple makes a better product. That's kind of the story here at the end of the day.
Also consider the climate / weather. Paris might be OK during the winter, but some place like Michigan might have very terrible winters - walking around outside is possible but not terribly fun, cycling on icy sidewalks is also generally not a good experience. In almost all cases in the winter it's easier to be in a climate controlled method of transportation, which for most people is a private vehicle.

During the summer months it's great though.
> That statement is contained in a paper I linked that dates from 1980. I'm pretty sure it's factually correct, because I'm trying to make nothing but a demonstration that an idée reçue, that ML systems are only based due to their data, is incorrect.

I am referring to parking garages, apologies. My experiences are mostly NYC (Manhattan, midtown and lower) and Boston's back bay, though in fairness, many places are $25-$35 for multiple hours, which is much cheaper per hour, but pretty annoying if you only need the spot for 20 minutes.
I dont disagree with you that there are many widespread, systemic problems that people are essentially turning their back on, but this is a pretty disgusting attitude.
