Pinterest spends a large percentage of their budget on gaming the search page.

Though I’m sure you’ve noticed in recent years that Google has begun to replace many search results with answers directly from them instead of redirecting you to places like Pinterest. For the better I say. Companies like Pinterest are parasitic and degrade the overall ecosystem of search.
There’s a great Chrome extension that will remove those from search results.
But that's pretty normal, your vision and your opinion of the situation differs from the powers that be. Instead of getting upset over it, just go through a quick checklist:

* The management and most everyone else around me are in fact stupid and incompetent - just leave the place, problem solved

* The management in fact "gets" my concerns but doesn't think it's the right time to address them - they may have a point? they may see something that you don't see?

* The management doesn't think my concerns are serious enough to invest resources into - they may have a point?

* The place sucks but I get paid a lot and don't want to leave - just distance from it and focus on your part

Either way seems pretty fixable, not much to get upset about.
>> Not like the most recent ML conferences aren't doing that already ("Your dataset has only two genders? Bye")

Hi. Are you saying that most recent machine learning conferences required datasets with more than two genders (where gender was applicable) otherwise they rejectd submissions?

Can you please name some of the recent machine learning conferences that did this?

Also, at which point did the rejection happen? e.g. was it during a preliminary review stage, during review? etc.
Another example about how google is broken. It has great difficulty distinguishing noise from signal.

The key for wide spread adoption would be enabling more than point to point communication, and figuring out how to make the hardware really easy to make or obtain.

Are there any known algorithms that can scale mesh nets to high throughput? And, how are we encouraged to run intermediary nodes?

I'd set myself up with this in a heartbeat, if it let me communicate with people 300-600 miles away and was easy to set up.

Also, is encryption allowed?
?? It does not imply intent. Pretty much by definition an evolutionary disadvantage is something that nature will select against. You appear to have forgotten that not only does individual compete with individual, but also population with population.
I worked at Apple for 5 years in two different groups and this really isn’t that normal. The person in the article worked on experimental hardware which is not most people’s experience. Most people have no problem talking about what they work on, the technology they use, and what they like about Apple. Unfortunately rarely people find those blog posts interesting enough to share leaving a disproportionate number of posts like in the article.
I remember always being scared when that menu popped up, because the only times I ever saw it were when something was broken.

I'm sure there were good reasons to want to get to it, but I was too young to know any.
The Sachs image is from 1t least 1993, as it's done in Brilliance, which was released then. It's also in 256 colors, versus Treister's images from 1995 done when the maximum number of colors was 32. Unless you had a paint program capable of Hold And Modify mode, which DPaint was not at the time. (And Extra Half-Brite did not exist until the A2000 and A500 came out in 1987.)

So let's have a more equal comparison: here's an image from Defender of the Crown (1986). http://amiga.lychesis.net/artist/JimSachs/DefenderOfTheCrown...

And here's an image from Avril Harrison in 1985, which might have been one of the demo images that shipped with DPaint - I know several of her works were on the disc: http://amiga.lychesis.net/year/1985/AH_Waif.html

And of course how about Harrison's 1985 image of Tutankhamun's death mask, which was both on the disc and on the cover of the box? http://amiga.lychesis.net/year/1985/AH_KingTut.html
I think the main reason is the tradition. It was in the beginning a small get together of some nerds that had vacations due to Christmas but were bored.

Then it got bigger and bigger.
And now there are many reasons to keep it that way. No competing events, free choice of the venue, free hotels, school holidays and so on.

I'd also say that there are more atheists in the hacker community then in the general population.
I remember watching some youtube neurologist said "Eyes are only part of the brain visible outside" and then again old saying "The eyes are the mirror of the soul"
To clarify your position, in the hypothetical, you believe two people with the same color skin will have identical experiences because of their race?

I don't think that's the case at all. Again, skin color is a poor signifier for experience, and while it's good to acknowledge that person's life is impacted by their race, thinking that race is the only differentiator is silly.

Individuals are determined by more than their level of melatonin.

Why is automation expensive? Robots are usually cheaper than full time workers.

And sure, that can be done, but again we're talking about automation currently, not a 4 hour work day.
I've actually had to do this just last week.

I had a web design client that decided to move to a platform with integrated Git deployment, for a WordPress site that was already developed on a different platform with it's own Git deployment and all of the development history on there. The new platform had a different way of getting configuration, and a different set of platform integration plugins. So I couldn't just force-push the old platform's Git history; I actually did need to do a divergent-history merge in this case and resolve the result in the new platform's favor.

I assumed the warning meant that you couldn't do it, or that it would be super error-prone, or something; but it turns out that it worked perfectly fine with no problems (aside from standard Git merge conflict resolution).

$1000 a month creates an environment where the poor finance each other: if you lend $100 to your buddy, you have some confidence he can repay the amount, because he is getting something, so emergency debts can be spread out. At $0 a month there is no trust to build, no credible source of income. Nobody has anything, so nobody gets anything, so nothing happens, no opportunity to build a richer economic web is created or pursued. The poor are then in a position where staying idle seems best.

What's actually in place today in the US is effectively somewhere in between $0 and $1000, in that you get something if you fill out the right forms regularly and aren't denied one day, and many parts of it are a targeted package with limited liquidity(like EBT). These packages in their current form accomplish exactly the thing you describe of UBI: They create a homeless-industrial complex that allows bleeding hearts to proclaim virtue. Barely keeping people alive doesn't get them to the next rung of the economic ladder, it enmeshes them in a one-way dependency not shared throughout the society. "Universal" is a really important component in effective socialized policies.
We might be doing very different queries :) If you search for makeup related content, Pinterest comes up a lot because people tend to pin and curate makeup related stuff there
That was the point of what I was saying.

One big reason why Pinterest ranks so highly, and why you are seeing different tld's in the results, is because they have a variety of tld's that they use and those tld's all have separate crawl budgets from each other. So Google crawls Pinterest about an order of magnitude more than most other sites. You can read more about this here: https://medium.com/pinterest-engineering/how-switching-our-d...

Source: I run a think tank focused on Google’s web crawling advantage and have been studying stuff like this for a couple years now.
Google should be asking from a product perspective if they are providing the search results the user is most likely seeking.

I seriously doubt that most pinterest results are what users are seeking. As such, Google probably should consider changes to their algorithm to compensate (cat and mouse) for pinterest's gaming. That is assuming how pinterest does it is not against any google rules... because if it were against any rules, they should be slapped down hard.

When my searches result in mostly pinterest results, I give up more quickly. That means I spend less time using google, and that in theory means less money for google. Unfortunately, I do see other more regular user types operate their computers, and they are less or un-descriminating about the domain name listed under the image. So they'll head directly into the pinterest waste pond anyway.
You probably have a solution that works for you, but you could configure vscode to develop against a linux instance in the cloud over ssh.

Then you could test the gui apps with xwindow forwarding over ssh. I use putty/xming for this.
Is there some practice around making sure the octopus-merged branches concern separate files (have no conflicts)? Imagine resolving a 12-way merge conflict. Yeesh.
I think the goal of all technology is not only to reduce cost (replace humans) but to improve the job they do — make them faster, stronger, smarter. IMO the enhancement part of the tech evolution equation has been much underconsidered.

Any time a tool evolves, it changes not only how a task is done but also why. In the case of implementing a business process, the revision process is best served by reconsidering why what is done now and taking the opportunity to evolve the old role into making a richer contribution that introduces a new and improved path through the problem space.

That's IA, and IMO, it's the Great White Hope that AI might yet lead to a future world that engages humans more rather than the default dystopia where we're all redundant and irrelevant.
If you don't install the "GeForce Experience", which given your use case, you obviously would not, the graphics driver does not auto update and has no way to do so.

You can't compare eInk with backlit LCD, but front-lit LCD panels totally exist; see any pocket calculator. For a dot-matrix display, the original Gameboy Color is the best example I personally own, but I'm sure countless others exist.

The main trouble I think is that very few (any?) manufacturers are making front-lit LCD panels at typical monitor sizes and resolutions. I guess there's not really a market for it? But if such a thing exists I'd compare the heck out of it and eInk.
Okay, but ... what is being gained here?
The ability to package programs so they run on a computer without you worrying about it?
That is an ability we had since the 1960s, that people gave up for "reasons" that are questionable at best.

Someday people will realize they don't have to make their computers orders of magnitude slower just in order to get back capabilities that used to come automatically.

But that day is not today, I guess.
If you code this right, there's no need for the two special checks at the start of the function - they just naturally get resolved.
Energy density can't be ignored here.

Fossil fuels are definitely finite, and few things match their energy density and general utility.

Our environment is warming, and we need to bootstrap ourselves onto other energy now, while we have fuels and quick or we may find ourselves energy constrained and fighting the battle in a far less livable place.
I do not know whether Google gives Pinterest preferential treatment. That said, I'd like to know: What are you searching? Results will be different depending on if you're searching "cute bedroom ideas" or "epistemology in pre-Socratic Greece."
Yeah - I've just been reading some of the Pinterest engineering blogs linked above about their sophisticated SEO experimentation framework and ugh, I think it's time to load up my browser with extensions or move away from google completely.

Image search has been borked due to Pinterest results for a few years now, but now my text queries have also started being dominated more and more often by their search results. I'm bummed that Google doesn't count the different Pinterest country domains as duplicates and remove them. instead there is like pages upon pages of the same Pinterest result.
I'm curious if posting that link on twitter with the text would get the tweet labeled, deleted, or an account sanctioned: "Proof that fraud changed the outcome of the Presidential election!"

Design in a classical sense is dead. There is no real incentive for real deep design to happen. In a race with the clock, multiple points of view, collaboration design, standardization of ui by style libraries and UX design overhead, the soul of design as a process is lost. I am classically trained designer with more than 20 year practice, I have been in many roles, from PD trough Project Management, business owner, etc. Design field today is flooded with self entitlement and low level knowledge, empty words and pretentious jargon, in the end the products are similar visually and rarely innovative.
Boring.
Recently I closed all business and started clear frontend development work. In implementation things are more meaningful and can be data driven, I don’t have to “romanticize”, be a “designer who writes”, “communicates with clients” and “brings added brand value by using social media”. In general I love design and selling it as a service is to consciously devaluate years of work and experience. At least in front end implementation craftsmanship is monetary rewarded more than design and I don’t have to be a “culture fit” or likable person. Front-end development is measurable skill, clients and employers are rarely competent to comprehend good design. Figma is a tool, it has a value in collaboration. As a graphic design platform it lacks depth and lots of detail oriented features, Sketch was a good start but platform lock and lack of collaboration layer killed it. Actually when speaking about UI tools I miss Macromedia Fireworks really badly. Imagine modern version with those principles..:)
Many communities have adopted the downvote reason functionality, as well as upvote reason.
Familiarization with brands is strong for global audiences, and can also be used for quick recognition for fantasy projects. Imagine if it was "Samsung" branding, then how much more effort would it take to associate this brand with heart-warming video games?
You're right about that, but I recently ran into a situation where I had to process about a TB of data repeatedly in that configuration. As a serialized file format, Eytzinger rocked. The IO cost probably dominated, but there was no reason not to use it.
LoRa can handle between 27 and 50 kbps depending on the mode. Definitely not enough for video calls, but still plenty useful
If the unsigned right shift is defined (java): "int mid = (min + max) >>> 1;"

edit: this is a bit longer version, if signed conversion/shift is not available: int mid = (min >> 1) + (max >> 1) + (min & max & 1)
If you have an idea where do OOMs come from, you can (and should!) use "oom_score_adj"/"oom_adj" so that OOM kills processes are not random. There are many interesting strategies here:

- Set your watchdog and logging to "never kill". Set watchdog to reboot on OOM, after uploading error report. This way, if the system OOMs, you can log the problems to your logging server, and then watchdog will reboot the system to recover.

- If you have a "UI" process which can also eat all the memory, set it to "kill me first". Yes, the UI will crash, but the rest of system will restart it, and your updater would still work.

- If you have separate resource-intensive process, you can set it to "kill me first" -- then the rest of the system can stay up and maybe even show a descriptive error message.

- The latter approach works pretty nicely for general systems. Is your OOM killer activating because your build system started too many gcc instances? run it with "kill me first" setting -- it inherits to children processes, so you only build processes would be killed, the rest of the system (UI, browser, etc..) would all stay alive.
Does your think tank come up with any ideas on how to keep companies like Pinterest from peeing in the pool so to speak? They made it impossible to find DIY craft stuff that I used to search for, and I can’t imagine it’s the only site doing it.
macOS/CoreAudio alone probably justifies Mac mini before performance comes into play at all. To say Mac mini is cheaper than alternatives matching in CPU performance is however still incorrect, though dangerously close. That’s all.
Just do -pinterest in your search to filter
Unfortunately this did not work for me. I added these two, and then I did a search on images.google.com for "custom carved door frame".

5 of 7 images on the first row of results was some pinterest site.
Not an iOS user, but I somehow expected rotation to work if I rotate two fingers against each other (I.e. draw a circle with two fingers at the same time). But I just need to swipe sideways with two fingers.
No java doesn't use 64bits at all. It uses unsigned right shift. I mentioned it in another post: "int mid = (low + high) >>> 1;"... And for the older timers (14y ago), there used to be a bug[0] about exactly that.

It didn't even require that. You fixed something from the immediately-buildable tarball that you'd rebuilt and tested, or even something that didn't need a rebuild (config, doc, interpreted source), and sent the change, perhaps using M-x diff-backup. You didn't have pull 100Mb of git stuff, figure out how to rebuild the build framework, find you hadn't got the submodules, prat about with a pull request, and then whatever demands it makes of you, etc.

I was fine with that as a maintainer too, on three very active major projects at one time (using a 48Mb Pentium 1). A maintainer's job is partly to make it easy for contributors, not for the maintainer, but tending the contributors will help in the end.
Not all LCD screens require a backlight. Reflective and Transparent LCD's can operate without backlights (1, 2), and the hybrid transflective LCD's can use ambient light and/or backlight to illuminate the image. Transflective LCDs improve sunlight readability without the need for an intense backlight.

All LCD's essentially use a similar liquid crystal pixel that serves as a variable light shutter for polarized light. It's the back- and front-planes (e.g. addition or omission of RGB color filters, different types of backlights, fully or partially reflective layers, etc.) that differentiate different types of LCDs. If you have an old LCD laying around, with many of them you can actually take the different layers apart to access the active or passive matrix LCD panel (you'll end up with a transparent LCD). I did it once with a tiny LCD, it's pretty cool. Then you can play around with adding your own layers/lighting effects.

I certainly meant backlit.

Viewing angle would be another pain point with them, but that also came a long way and you could chose one with good angles if needed.

I tried PioSolver free version with identical settings on all machines and targeted a certain exploitation level and compared the time it took to finish the task. Performance on M1 is close to a desktop 3600X (admittedly weak cooler was installed on that machine)
It may be true in some cases, but it's just a mental model--and all models are wrong. Some are useful.

Worrying about things out of your control--once you've decided to move forward--is not useful.

If you can't stop yourself from doing that, you're probably not cut out for life at an early stage start up. That's not a dig--it's just means you should seek opportunities that better fit you.

Some women once told me they think eyes with more pronounced lashes make men crazy attractive. So I suppose there's nothing really "gay" about it. Some male actors wear mascara (e.g. Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean), making them more attractive to women, I suppose. I'd love to see some science behind this though.
It’s not clear why travel would be ‘expensive’. I can imagine a scenario where we create several robots, one for mining, one for chemistry, one for manufacturing, and you could simply send them out start self replicating and creating technology ‘for free’.
Still odd that Google tolerates this. Isn't this exactly the kind of black-hat SEO that they are usually downranking or banning sites for?

Pinterest landing pages are intentionally unusable for anyone without an account. It's hard to make a good-faith argument that those pages are the "most relevant result" for someone making a simple image search.

I would like to see the same comparison with a reflective LCD display, which is much closer in practice to an e-paper display. My guess is the main drawback would be viewing angles, but I’d also imagine the same screen size would be about a fifth of the price.
