Someone who is homeless and has no possession is poor. Someone who has nothing and debts is poorer than that.

Don't get into debts as an individual. Just don't.

Debt can be a tool for businesses, countries, can be part of an investment plan, you take insurances against unforeseen circumstances, etc...

But that whole "I'll get a loan to get a degree" is a tool for servitude. US really needs to get out of that.
I wouldn't call myself a denimhead, but I have several pairs of selvedge denim jeans from good tailors, one with Japanese denim, one with Cone denim.

Thickness counts for durability, and you have choices. I'm not sure what durability is like for cotton blends (it's rarely more than 3-4% synthetic). I have doubts that mass-produced denim of similar weight is significantly more or less durable than denim from traditional looms. The only differences I can think of that would impact this would be staple length and chemicals used in processing. Pre-faded, bleached, or distressed denim will obviously be less durable.

20 years sounds high to me. I have jeans less than a year old already showing crotch wear. Granted, this is expected, and it can be repaired before it's an issue.
“Values the participation of everyone” that’s why I’ve been shadowbanned for YEARS because I once said “oriental isn’t an offensive term” even though there’s an entire NYT article BY AN ASIAN PERSON making the same point.

It sees Google credentials and then auto creates an account that you can change the name on. I keep deleting them but reddit keeps making them. I just gave up and kept u/redditisastupidhead as my minor protest.

I've never heard of these Mozart Balls until now. I still remember when I made this unfortunate spelling mistake:

That's a problem for lots of technologies. The native language in my country hardly has any literature published in it because it's so obscure. How should the printing press solve this unfairness? The internet in general also doesn't use it much at all, neither do all the popular movies and TV series. They don't even get subtitled. Apple Maps can't pronounce the street names correctly for navigation either. It's pretty hopeless but does it really matter?

Maybe if you have an unpopular language, that's just unfortunate and please encourage your kids to learn English (which they probably do at school just about everywhere anyway) so you don't perpetuate the same problem to the next generation.
I hope my comment doesn't sound tone-deaf or ignorant but this is something I have thought about for a while.

As I was watching @lisper's movie "grace of god"[1] and heard the phrase "convince myself that it could never happen to me" (becoming homeless), I started thinking, is this a more American-centric problem?

What I mean by that is, can the lack of a social safety net in the US cause a much higher rate of homelessness than in other countries? Or at least, it seems the experience of homelessness in the US is worse than in other countries.

I wonder how much culture also plays a part in that. In Romania for example, the idea of becoming homeless in the same way as in the US seems so remote and unlikely that most people don't ever think about it and I'm sure you would have a hard time finding people who ever think they would get into that situation. Is the government just doing a great job at hiding these people or exporting them? Is the culture of having a close family saving people from ever hitting rock bottom?

I have a lot of questions with few answers and I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on the culture/US-centric view on this type of homeless.

> I don't think you're truly economically "upper class" if you have to worry about student loans.

If you have to worry about student loans, you probably aren't even middle class (petit bourgeois) even if you are middle or substantially higher income; people with student loan concerns are, almost by definition, members of the proletarian intelligentsia—knowledge-workers, often relatively well paid compared to the rest of the working class, whose primary source of support is selling labor for wages. The petit bourgeois have a balance between labor and capital contributions to income (most classically applying primarily their own labor to their own capital, but a common modern variation is having nontrivial capital investments but also a significant contribution from selling labor for wages.) And the upper class, the haut bourgeois, derive gains primarily from capital to which other people’s labor is applied.
That's a good point. May be we need ways to have a common person without a huge media presence have a way to voice their concerns of racism.

Since media cannot cover thousands of individual cases, there should be legal avenues without deep pockets for lawyer fees to sue companies for racist behavior.

The court should look at this situation objectively and factually.
You do realize just how small this co2 output is compared to the human co2 output it replaces.

You realize the shear scale of co2 output the office the engineers who wrote the model, drove to work, education, etc produced.

I’m actually suprised just how small of a co2 output it was.
You're saying it's a problem to ask engineers to make sure their tools will only be used for their definition of "good". But you also imply that tools should uphold "Free Speech", which is exactly that — fitting someone's definition of "good". So which is it?

> Yeah, it does seem like the best jobs are the ones that you don't have to jump through arbitrary hoops for. Ideally, your employer or client will respect you as a human being who has something valuable to bring to the table.

> If you ever have a chance to talk candidly with an executive or entrepreneur about a subject that you are passionate about...well, at least take the meeting. Those sorts of discussions aren't interviews per se, but sometimes your vision will click with someone else's, and that's where the magic happens.

This is great advice. Talking to business folks when you aren't working for them is a great way to practice this skill and you never know what you might end up running into. Another good thing to do is to try to connect two people who might benefit from the connection (discussing a technology, an opportunity, etc). Sometimes something will happen, sometimes not, but the goodwill will be remembered.

A few years ago I joked about never wanting to submit a resume again. If you spend time on your network (all the time, not just when you need a job) and do good work, hopefully you'll get to a point where you can contact people you know who are looking for help.

Sure you'll still need to "interview" but the stakes are lower: they know you and you know them.
Well that's a good reason, it just didn't jump at me from the page. On HN topics are supposed to be about "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". What would be some reasons how this laptop does that? I'm asking seriously, not trying to argue that it doesn't.

> You do realize just how small this co2 output is compared to the human co2 output it replaces.

Sure, the issue is that the scale of models is increasing by orders of magnitude in a fairly short span of years, as well as the range of applications rapidly expanding. It doesn't take long for that kind of growth to go from a trivial issue to catastrophic one, and it's the exact kind of risk you have ethicists in a field to call out while it still is trivial so that some of the energy of people doing technical development gets directed to mitigate the risk of it ever reaching the catastrophic stage.

Yes, I can. Try to have a chicken raised only with corn, and don't give it water. See how long it will last.
I thought we settled on lastElement = array[-1] for this problem (a little, but not entirely, tongue-in-cheek).
really controversial opinion: the abilities of programmers to use statistics and math is just right!
And if they do mind, well, one of two things:

* they are a pedantic, roll your own type of place that is full of custom frameworks and libraries that you're better off avoiding

* they are big enough or specialized enough that they really need that level of knowledge

I imagine the former is more common.

And if you are applying to the latter, you should know that from your research. You do research companies before you interview there, right?
The thing is, that's about all an AI ethicist can say. The problem is there isn't that much to modern "AI"/machine learning. It's just brute force approximation/simulation/curve-fitting. There's a lot of tweaking, a lot of data and a lot of processing power. It does a lot but fails unpredictably and has unpredictable (or predictable) biases and leaves you at the mercy of a black box.

There, I've repeated the paper without reading it. But Google did hire her to be an AI ethicist so what else would they expect?
You realize the energy and co2 production to release the paper is greater than the training itself.
The year is 2020 and transferring files between devices is still hard.

I think a decade ago I started paying ~5$ a month for a server at OVH with a lot of storage. SSH/Filezilla, Nginx on an obfuscated URL, has solved a lot of my problems. I also use it as a server to test docker images, a VPN when I want a French IP, a pictures backup server and a professional presentation website.

My free email account I am using since the 90s is now telling me it is almost full so I am considering to switch it.

Really, storage is cheap but is not free. Save yourself a lot of hassle: pay it yourself, take back control.
What are the arguments about racism that were suppressed? The paper that didn't pass internal review was about the external costs of training large models (correction: the paper also discussed language models not adhering to anti-racist language standards).

That's my experience. The subreddits I tend to frequent are pretty well behaved, and I generally have a good time.

I use mechanical keyboards. I also use vim. I'm familiar with the concepts you're on about.

I used the hp50g throughout university. I'm well acquainted with it and with typing faster and navigating menus faster than the screen can update.

Regardless, there's literal centimeters of distance between keyboard and CPU. There's no excuse for the calculator UI to lag noticeably relative to the keypresses.

I got the ti-89 out of sheer curiosity, mostly because it's 68k based. After using it just a little, it was obvious to me I wouldn't be suffering the 50g much anymore.

> However he does pay less taxes than his secretary.

No, he absolutely does not. He pays a lower effective tax rate but vastly more in actual money than his secretary. His effective rate is 17 something percent because the capital gains tax rate is 15%, not because he’s rich. https://www.fool.com/taxes/2020/09/25/why-does-billionaire-w...

We could certainly increase cap gains rate to regular income, but that would fuck a huge portion of the middle class depending on gains in 401ks for retirement.
That's a good pitch!
Yet another reason to reduce the use of cars.

Are there studies into how much of a difference EV vs ICE makes when it comes to tire wear? More torque might mean more wear for example.
Nothing deep and nefarious needed. The rules were ambiguous (not enforced) and they didn't want this paper published, so they just had to say "no". No extreme motivation is necessary. It's hard to imagine that they expected an ultimatum from Timnit, and the resulting PR disaster. Now that it's in the news, I imagine they actually do have a "deep" need to protect their image by controlling the narrative.

Full Disclosure: I work at Google.
It may not even prove that depending on your mock/fake strategy though.
My mistake - I thought Haskell was like OCaml in not having a main function:

You broadly dismissed my entire comment, which was completely correct about Ocaml, but I accept that you are correct about Haskell.
But in this case AlphaFold is only marginally better than other algorithms. Since we are comparing computer algorithms (and not a human to an algorithm), it'd be like saying Usain Bolt "solved" the 100m dash when he set a new world record. Is it solved though, without knowing how fast those other algorithms are advancing?
I think that electric vehicles have more wear in general because they tend to be heavier.
What has changed is that most everyone now has the ability to contribute to civil discussion on social media. That means even very ignorant people. This must have some kind of effect on the public discourse I would think
>can the lack of a social safety net in the US cause a much higher rate of homelessness than in other countries?

I thought that was widely understood as a contributing factor, yes.

other contributing factors: poor minimum wage laws, at will employment, lack of regulation around housing.
health system problems I put in the social safety net category.

These things mean that there is more of a chance that something goes wrong, and you need the social safety net, which isn't there.

That's exactly right. The existence of homelessness is a policy decision, not a law of nature. We have enough space to house everyone, and we have enough money to run social programs to help people with addictions or mental illnesses.

But our cult of individualism says that your successes belong to your boss, and your failures are your own damn fault. So you can die in the gutter and you'll deserve it.
Modern x86 PCs still can boot DOS, no? (If not, sounds like a bug.)

Why did they study a combination of substances and not a single one? Wouldn't a study of a single substance be more valuable then a study of a mix?

Sometimes I have the impression that these type of studies are more common among studies initiated by a company. Here it was some supplements company.

I think it is important to remember that by testing random mixes, any company can produce an arbitrary amount of studies and then publish the one with the best looking results and use it for marketing.

This would be cool as an RSS feed, with each article a new entry, but in it's current form it's not something I'd subscribe to:

* I don't want 4 emails per week, that's a huge volume that will just get routinely ignored after about 3 days.
* the RSS feed that I did find (for the archive) has one entry per edition, meaning that I'd have to read each one. I want to just scan it for articles that I might care about.

Not GC, but I'll try to answer constructively. I don't know Doreen personally, but the thing that always strikes me about her writing is how much of it is spent calling other people names (exactly as the GC did to her) or talking about how other people mistreat her.

In this article: "classist", "toxic", "asshole", "mommy issues", "bullying me", "warped", "unhealthy", "harassing me", "insulting me" are all used.

And yet not once did Doreen apparently do anything wrong. She comes across as entirely blameless, which to me is a sign of a suspect narrative. It's like my friend that hasn't had much luck romantically who always blames such issues on the women he dates – failing to realize that the common denominator is not them, it's him.
