The contracts between GM and the dealership for carrying the brand don't allow either side to make sudden requirements (like installing $200k worth of chargers) without changing the contract - these contracts usually last a long time, so the time for them to renew and require these chargers could be years in the future.

Since GM doesn't want to stagnate on electric cars, they're offering the buyout since they have new electric Cadillacs coming soon and you don't want a dealership to not carry certain cars just because they declined to install chargers.
If you start looking at data more broken down by cause, there are huge surges in (not-confirmed-Covid) “pneumonia”, “stroke”, etc. deaths which very closely follow the distribution in place/time of confirmed Covid deaths.

The pattern is very clear and obvious, and not at all what you would expect if the primary cause were just something to do with being in lockdown.

It's strange you won't answer the question. I haven't prescribed what would happen to the money, simply that the rich need to take a haircut to make things more even. If you also pursue a more robust, less concentrated economy more generally, you could certainly invest the money in entrepreneurship, small farms, improved IT infrastructure, etc., etc. That would do more good for the economy than letting Jeff launch it into space. Again, we've done this kind of thing before, and the billionaires and their defenders ho-hummed the same tune, and all that happened was the emergence of the middle class and fairly broad economic prosperity. We've also see what happens when we let the concentration of wealth continue.

> That seems more like a personal vendetta than an economic policy.

Won't somebody please think of the poor billionaire! I'm using him as an example, because he's first on the list, but feel free to substitute whatever name or array of names you want if it makes it more palatable for you. FWIW, there is historical precedent for passing a tax law targeting the single richest person in the country (John D. Rockerfeller at the time).
I don't believe so. It's my understanding that the protein structures that make the lens so flexible-- mostly alpha-crystallin --- are created during the development of the eye and slowly lost over time.

Later, transparency is lost in the cornea for similar reasons and we get cataracts.

Then with cataract surgery you can choose your preferred focal length for your new stiff artificial lens.
I have a winter coat from when I was 16 that still works great. Ditto for a leather jacket. These are both 25 years old. I even have some old leather hiking boots from that era too that are still in decent shape.

> and feedback loops that let the wealthy amass more wealth and power. It doesn't have to be this way, it's a product of our laws and can be changed.

Those feedback loops are directly created by wealthy people for wealthy people, because politicians like money like just everyone else its easy to manipulate them into creating feedback loops that help those wealthy folks amaze even more wealth. The more corruptible the politicians are the more the wealth gap increases, from there is easy to conclude why millions are struggling to get by even in the wealthiest nation on paper.
The way these numbers usually work out is by comparing with the absolute worst possible industrial farming process (which is excessive in its pollution and waste).

My simple way is pick your React / Vue etc carefully and then within that ecosystem pick popular libraries if they pretty much do what you need. Only go for offbeat libraries if they are the only ones solving your problem. I’d also avoid non typed libraries (ts) but that’s a personal thing. Searching through Reddit etc. for peoples experiences is also worthwhile.
I can't put my finger on what alternative you're alluding to here. Writing HTML/Markdown/whatever feels mostly the same whether I'm doing it in Nano or Notepad or VSCode, and I probably use all three of those on a daily basis depending on what I'm editing/how long/what privileges I need.

> But one should expect a single function does not vary in the last 5 digits as one example did.

Why not? The whole selling point of floats is that they're a fast approximation to real arithmetic in a bunch of useful cases. I'd personally be much more miffed by an excessively slow implementation of a transcendental than one which was off even by a large number of bits. If there's a fast solution with better precision then that's great, but low precision by itself doesn't strike me as particularly problematic.

> Why should anyone use double precision if that's the kind of slop an implementation can have?

Because by using float64 instead of float32 you can cheaply get a ton more precision even with sloppy algorithms. If there's only 16ish bits of slop you could probably get a full-precision float32 operation just by using an intermediate cast to float64 (proof needed for the algorithm in question of course).
Bill Gates has openly admitted how much his environment helped. Being genetically gifted as he is is only part of the equation. He also grew up in an affluent enough area to have early to computers as well as the time and supportive environment to pursue it. I wonder if people who claim environment doesnt matter have spent any appreciable time in poor neighborhoods.

The absolute best will usually find their way out. I think a society should optimize for beyond those who are just in the vanishing tail of the curve

They can't have their cake and eat it too; if they want hire people to do AI ethics research, and then censor them for doing their job, then they should get called out for ethics-washing, which is exactly what's happening.

I don't know why so many people love to defend power, especially when that power is not benevolent.
The fact that she was able to hear the feedback but specifically not allowed to walk off with a written copy of it is what makes me think there was concern that she would try to discover the identities of the reviewers. That and the fact that she noted specifically in her writeup that she was told the feedback had come via HR.

Second this. I'd think PM at Google work differently than PM in Lockheed.
Nothing about the web platform prevents keyboard shortcuts or high levels of customizability. Moving away from these is just a cultural shift in the industry, for better or worse.
Another interesting perspective...

The term "using leverage" is often used in a creditor / debtor relationship. But it's funny how the term works because in that setting "using leverage" is usually associated with the debtor being the exploited one in the relationship.

More generally, in a given exploitive relationship it's not always obvious who is exploiting who.
Hi.

GitJournal author over here. If you can provide me with a video of what you mean, and what you would like that would really make implementing this much easier.
How do you decide which features to prioritize and which to pass on? You'll probably get a wide range of responses to that question, but you'll also probably get a good feeling for who is a competent PM and who is probably not. Hint: good PMs won't just base it on gut feelings or anecdotal evidence.

How do you balance priorities that you're hearing from customers with priorities that you're hearing from sales? PMs often find themselves in between sales, customers and engineering, and balancing those conflicting priorities is tough.

How do you convince engineers to take on hard tasks? A lot of times PMs come up with great ideas but engineers will balk at actually implementing them because "it's too hard."
Abstract from a reviewer (source reddit /r/ml)

Abstract

The past three years of work in natural language processing have been characterized by the development and deployment of ever larger language models, especially for English. GPT-2, GPT-3, BERT and its variants have pushed the boundaries of the possible both through architectural innovations and through sheer size. Using these pre- trained models and the methodology of fine-tuning them for specific tasks, researchers have extended the state of the art on a wide array of tasks as measured by leaderboards on specific benchmarks for English. In this paper, we take a step back and ask: How big is too big? What are the possible risks associated with this technology and what paths are available for mitigating those risks? We end with recommendations including weighing the environmental and financial costs first, investing resources into curating and carefully documenting datasets rather than ingesting everything on the web, carrying out pre-development exercises evaluating how the planned approach fits into research and development goals and supports stakeholder values, and encouraging research directions beyond ever larger language models.

Anyone have the actual paper?

You get paid as long as you keep working, which is what the contract is. If you had to keep working whether or not the company can pay you, that would obviously be a lot riskier. But that isn’t how things work. If the company goes under you go get a new job, and sign another contract.
I don't see how this is "think of the children"? The point is that we need to be cognizant of how the things we build can be (ab)used.

I think it was less "who said this?" and more "who was the reviewer, how were they chosen, what guidelines did they follow?"

Peer review in Academia is anonymous but has relative guarantees that the reviewer will have sufficient knowledge to judge your paper, won't be an academic rival out to skewer your work, and is generally capable of being a disinterested judge. As many others have pointed out here, Google doesn't do peer review in the academic sense, they do pre-publication review, almost always on short notice, for the purposes of protecting IP, mainly.

So imagine you're called in and told to retract your paper on substantive grounds provided by an anonymous reviewer whose feedback is sufficiently bad for you that you don't get a chance to amend your paper, it's just retracted, full stop. You can't have their written feedback, but after you kick up a fuss, you'll be granted a recitation of the feedback that won't change anything about the fate of your paper.

All this in the context of review that's normally a rubber stamp when trade secrets aren't involved.

Demanding to know who torpedoed your paper in an extraordinary way doesn't seem so unreasonable.
This has nothing to do with being a publicly traded company.

The statement that "Academic debate is, in fact, done through conferences and journals" is not strictly true. Specially given that a lot of reviews in more popular conference are very hit and miss. You can submit the same paper to the same conference multiple times and get wildly different opinions on the same paper.

The variation in reviewers' response is often due their lack of knowledge and unfamiliarity with the problem. Take a look at the recent reviews on some of the more popular conferences on OpenReview.net. Most of the reviews don't have any substance and are often vague/generic.

I'd take the reviews from peers that I trust and are aware of my work more seriously than reviewers of conferences.

> the only way to become a billionaire is by exploiting people

I don't if it is the only way to become a billionaire. But the bigger problem is every billionaire is exploiting people.

Imagine you are one of the wealthiest guys in the world. You can either:

- Hire the best financial guys to take care of your equities (although they are the best they look cheap to you).

- Hold a share of the equity of every business you can find in the world.

Either way, if the world is growing, you earn money by lying on the bed all day long. And then you can use the money exchange a large amount of people's labor for your own pleasure, instead of building costly infrastructures for your country for very small returns.

Even if the world is going through a recession, other people would more desperate than you - you would lose part of your money, but people's life would crash, small companies would go broke, most of the entities have to do sub-optimal choices, and you don't have to. Then you can do the purchase and hold even more equities of the world.

In a word, holding extreme large number of equities is exploiting people because they can barely do nothing and enjoy people's labor without any risks.
Yeah, but then they should get called out for wanting the good PR of having an AI ethics team, but without the headaches of having their poor ethical standards exposed.

You can't have it both ways.

Indeed.
I 100% agree with the blog post, that everyone should collect a journal of bugs. However, looking at the author's example, I can't help but think that the "fix" for the bug is really just a good intention. More specifically, they were bitten by a bug where an environment variable wasn't set in production. Checking that the environment variable, in the future, is set is a nice next step however, I would say, another take away would be to encode that intention in the code directly: throw an error, emit a metric, log an error (that hopefully gets monitored).

If you want true reproducibility you can save everything in an image/container. Lots of data science companies offer this for end-to-end reproducibility.
Can you point out some subreddits they've shut down that are "money and engagement walking out the door"? The only subreddits I've heard of being shut down are as objectively racist and derogatory as you can get (or NSFL gore). Advertisers and mainstream users generally don't want to be associated with sites promoting those types of content.
That seems like a straw man of my position. Suggesting that we tax the wealth of the richest person in the country is not a radical idea, nor is it equivalent to "taxation is an unalloyed good". Likewise, nothing I said conflicts with the idea that private ownership of property is good, generally. Just that inequality is bad, and taxation is a primary way to address it. If you don't think taxation is theft, then it's just negotiating the number, and I don't understand what point you are trying to make other than "government bad".

> Do you have any actual plan for how to spend all this money you propose to collect in taxes, or do you just want to throw more money at the people who are currently doing a bad job with the money they already have?

Sure, but I'm not running for office, because "small government conservatives" and their presumptions make it absolutely miserable for anyone who would do a good job of it. You can burn the money in a furnace for all I care, as long as the ratio between the richest and poorest goes down substantially.

Dude... don’t worry about the past as it’s the past. Use the past to learn what you did right and what you did wrong.

I’m glad that you know you have limitless resources (libgen is your friend).

If i may make a suggestion, change the way you talk. Instead of saying, “i hope” say “I am” be more definitive about your statements and after awhile, you’ll notice a change in your thoughts.

Here’s my favorite saying, “you’re not going to change until the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same.”

I did a 6 year stent at community college and then failed out at uni. I had a menial until 27 or 28 years old. I was a failure at life at this point. I decided to read the entire Learning Python book (>1200 pages) because I’m not a smart man, but I thought that by reading that stupid thing, I’d learn something at least (should have picked a few other books looking back). While reading that book and having the menial job, I started having these ideas... hmm... I could automate this for this department or I could do this... i could do that... blah blah... that led me to another role at that company. I kept learning that programming thing and then somehow got a job at a better company, making decent money. Kept studying and two years later, I finally a software engineer that’s leading initiatives at the company I’m at.

My full advice:

- Don’t be scared to ask questions

- Ask more questions

- Learn whatever interests you. You’ll wonder, but at some point down the road, something will click. Could be a few months from now or a few years, but just keep learning whatever tickles your fancy.

- Don’t be scared to admit you don’t know something, but just make sure that you know it the next time you see the person.

- Be curious

- Workout. This is one of the most important things. How can one feel good about oneself if they don’t take care of their body. I’m not saying gotta have the best body or diet, but just get some workout in—sports, gym, classes, yoga, hiking, something.

I got my best break of my life, which lead to everything good I have accomplished today at the gym. I overheard a conversation someone was having with a person I knew at the gym and I found it interesting. I asked for an introduction and that was that.

Don’t be scared to reach out. Go to events and meet new people. Talk to random people who you think would be interesting; talk to people who are working on interesting stuff at coffee shops, etc...

You’ll be fine if you have passion.

There is substantial genetic variation in responsiveness to opiates. For some (an estimated 1% in Norway, at least [0]) the standard dosing comes with all the side effects and none of the benefits.

When I was recovering from sinus surgery, my wife handed me oxy on the prescribed schedule, and it was worse than nothing — pain still there, plus brain fog and massive constipation. Tylenol worked an absolute wonder, though.

Pain is a bitch. I hope we come up with something better than these blunt instruments soon.

Hi. As someone new to frontend, could anyone tell me how frontend for lightweight-but-very-functional sites like these (also hackernews) built? Do they use something like Next.js for server-side-rendering? Which frameworks would you recommend to build a social network, if one wanted to avoid Single Page frameworks like React and Vue?
This was a great deal better read and for my mind than I anticipated going in. It’s also worth noting since I’m commenting that I have the inverse class experience (I grew up literally eating garbage at times because we couldn’t afford food, I still present as trash even after years in the upper middle), but that inverse has always carried with it an understanding that what comfort I have might be gone in an instant.

The author is partly right that reconciling what ought to be and what is... is a powerful part of navigating the way out. But part of that reconciliation for me is also recognizing that what is doesn’t reflect what should be. And that the people most at the whims of what is are not often equipped to do more than escape, “rescue” or not.
If they could find a way to mirror v.reddit.com videos (using an alternate host, like streamable or whatnot) that would really be a welcome addition.

Also, for now it seems you can't log in to your reddit account (maybe that's by design), which means you have to bookmark your subs using e.g. teddit.net/r/videos+haskell+woodworking which honestly is not that bad.
