shared identity is the strongest substrate of trust; we are constantly evaluating each other for aligned incentives. imo the more granular the better -- think about the joy of stumbling upon someone else who shares your hometown or some deep passion of yours, or a potential romantic partner with many shared interests. when we share a common foundation, we can more easily model each other and project likely behavior, which lends itself to cooperation, or at least a diminished risk of defection.

>Amr Gaber, a Google engineer who helped organize the 2018 walkout, told The New York Times that the union has been more concerned with claiming turf than listening to the needs of organizers.

I wonder how many people are using this news to say "See, I told you so"

I further wonder how many people are replying to them with some form of "That's a anti-union sterotype, you just don't understand unions."
You can go no sugar on the drink and there will still be sweetness from the milk and the pearls, I think it actually tastes better that way, the added sugar isn’t needed.
His video where he goes over his tooling for research is fascinating[0]. There's a lot of transferrable tooling & skills that can be applied to software development. Notably, the way he's optimized Google Chrome for research.

I'm interested in watching more videos like this so if anyone has any links to videos where the creator (who's deep into their field) goes over their tooling, please send them my way :)

As a foreigner living in the UK, I concur. All .gov.uk are _extremely_ functional. Applying for the pre-settled status (cos Brexit) was actually an enjoyable experience! I had no idea what was going to happen when I started the process, and it was all done in 30min top. It made me _scan my passport with my smartphone_ while flashing weird colors and it worked flowlessly, that absolutely blew my mind.

I've actually looked into getting a job there even though I'm from a start-up background
Well, I think it depends on what meaning one ascribes to the word dimension. Psychedelics can certainly open up more dimensions of perception, to the degree that I consider it a completely different "dimension" of reality.

I can also easily see why people who have been through a DMT ceremony get "very offended" at people who literally don't know what they're talking about (in more than one way) characterize their experiences as simply messed up neuroreceptors. Psychedelic trips can have several different kinds of reality bending phenomenological effects, some of which can have a fair amount of permanence to them, a very common one being extreme empathy and compassion for your fellow man. As someone says says in a different thread [1]:

> I think I experience a lot of stress. I always wanted to change the world growing up, and in the last ten years (I am 36 now) I really learned a lot about how awful some aspects of the world are. I am a deep empath so I have a hard time feeling okay when I know others are suffering. And with the US economy putting the poor at such a disadvantage, I feel pretty unhappy about that stuff all the time. I am in therapy and have been for 8 years, but I still just think a lot of stuff sucks and I can't really ignore that. Just think of the 2 million people in prison in the US. That system needs to change, and it's very easy to learn about that and struggle to not feel okay on the day to day because of that knowledge.

I have had seemingly permanent alterations to my default empathy levels, in large part due to psychedelic usage (at least, I would say it was a prerequisite), and I too get "very offended" when people say objectively incorrect things like "it's just chemicals in your brain", especially when those same people (or the community such conversations take place in) then gets their panties in a knot about how we all have to (or you're an evil person) "do whatever it takes to beat this pandemic" to "save lives"...but then if one is to ask about the lives of people in prison, or dying from drug overdoses or suicide, or war, or malnutrition (in numbers large than global covid deaths despite being geographically concentrated, and this has been happening for decades, and will continue to happen)....well "that's different". First world senior citizens, most of whom have lived a relative life of luxury: spare no expense (literally); third world children: "that's different". Which of these two parties actually has the "messed up neuroreceptors" seems like a valid question to me, but then contemplating such ideas would require actually acting as seriously as we take ourselves to be.

Anyways, best not engage in ideological battles - curious conversation is fine, but not too curious.

This seems a bit weird to me. You're accumulating statistics in an order dependent way without updating the parameters. You're also doing k updates of the statistics with noisier estimates of the gradient. I'm not really a stats guy, but this doesn't seem like it would provide better estimates of the adam statistics like you suggest. I'm sure this would have some impact, but it doesn't seem like it would be better than tuning the beta hyperparameters to incorporate gradient changes more quickly. But you probably just want to try it if you believe in it, not try to get traction with it in thw HN comments.

It's not that it reads like a Russian government contract, it reads a bit like any government contract.

The problem here isn't even necessarily with the government: Had they gone with anyone else at a sane price tag, Deloitte would have sued that company to oblivion and the Government as well, probably for all sorts of IP issues.
You are correct that Modi won popular vote. But this one chancellor who is rather a poster child of being a bad boy won his election too. Note also the fact that only about 50% of the people exercised their vote so there is a large fraction who aren't that enthused about Modi
Several hundred of them were not peaceful, and it doesn’t matter where you set the goal posts to get a denominator that allows you to say 93%.

You’re also wrong on that 100%.
> because we've elected not to invest resources further into a specific feature (low demand, market is turning away from this feature, the investment is simply too great at this point to justify the cost)

Yes, but I have structured my message so it can never be criticized :-)

Their intention is good, but I fail to see how it ensures that Signal, the project or the management of the app, would never fall into bad hands. Promising such a thing is somewhere between naive and misleading.
It tells you what kind of life experience they have to inform their decisions, including to unionize with a job like that to begin with. I think it speaks for itself.

This is only tangentially related to the article.

I keep hearing a lot of “put effort into what you are passionate about”. One thing I found is passion is also generated. It happened to be many times, I force myself to work and n something for some time and I automatically see the beauty/challenge in it and develop the motivation without the need to push. I want to hear other’s opinions on it.
There are services that accept small samples by mail (from anywhere) which they then test for a small fee and email you results. You can also buy reagent test kits online, though they are a bit less accurate than what the testing services use.

There are also very simple methods for "washing" what you buy to increase purity and thus dose more accurately + reduce side effects.

I've recently starting using Snowflake - it definitely has some nice features (cloning, storage integrations, etc). I'm interested what tooling you used to generate your visualizations. Were the charts generated directly from query output or did you need to load your query results into something like seaborn?
Right, spending all your effort on the one true design gets you in architect astronaut territory. Similarly for existing systems, conjuring up the grand rewrite in the sky (as Robert Martin calls it, I think?) is equally poor. Instead, recognize that design is important but will constantly evolve. Tests give the ability to incrementally redesign quickly and confidently.
This is a completely reasonable question and the contract timing has nothing to do with it.

European production of the AZ vaccine has fallen short, and the rest of their sourcing options fell through as well.

Even if you accept that AZ has country based supply chains with different priorities, it still makes sense that the EU would want to know if the EU production is being shipped to other locations.

It's a cultural thing. Each culture has their own marriage-related customs. When you want to get married in the USA, you basically need to go through it, because everyone has been perfectly conditioned to expect a certain ritual and setting. If you are male, you have to offer a diamond ring. (As a feminist you could ask: why not the opposite? Or: why don't both offer diamonds?) If you are female, you have to put on a certain dress, and in general you are expected to dream about the wedding and everything related.

What is especially ridiculous is that people get away with calling it "the happiest day of your life". Think about it: if it really is, then there is not much to expect after marriage. It's time people start changing their attitude to this ritual and focus more on understanding the ways they could make each one happier in the long term.
Fortunately you can often swap the complete heatsink and fan combo on the chipset with a different one. If the mounting method is strange one can use thermal epoxy or thermal adhesive tape.
I guess one benefit is that the ledger is publicly viewable, so that would increase transparency. Maybe I'm wrong about that?
I used to think the same way and still kind of do. But you're neglecting another performance benefit. You have ~100 ms to respond to a request before the user perceives slowness. With Go you can do 10-100x more stuff in that timeframe.
> And only having this level of power for a decade? Again, why is that important, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

Frankly it’s been much less than a decade. Apple (for one) was far less dominant a decade ago, indeed many people were still declaring them to be doomed.

What this means is that we may well be looking at a transient phenomenon. You simply do not know how stable this ‘power’ is. If they had been entrenched for a few decades, the case might be stronger.

Consider how long it took for Apple to develop their iPhone business. Years of theorizing, followed by 5 years of serious R&D work before it was even released, then more than a decade of growth before reaching a market penetration of less than 20% globally.

Why would you expect a competitor to take any less time than that to unseat them?

If we use Apple themselves as the model, we’d expect a competitor to be a product that is two years away release today, and 12 years away from being taken seriously as a threat.

Consider that in 2005 during the rise of the iPod, most consumer electronics manufacturers considered Microsoft to be the dominant force in their space, and ‘does it work with windows’, was what they thought mattered. The cloud was barely relevant, and Apple, was still considered a boutique vendor.

Apple is now a ship whose direction is slow to change, and they are ripe for disruption.

This all applies to the others equally. FB in particular already shows obviously signs of losing dominance.

> Apple, I dunno, I don't know much about how they got to the position they're in.

If you don’t know how they got into the position they are in, how do you know how stable it is, or how vulnerable they are to competition? I.e. how can you analyze their business?

TF-Numpy is not a competitor to NumPy. It just introduces a small subset of NP API to TF codebase. In TF you still have immutable tensors, so e.g. sth like: tensor[mask] = new_value doesn't work.
> Are you labeling a religion as terrorist because of some of its people

You are just trying to avoid answering the question by adding extraneous and irrelevant diversions. Sorry wont bite your bait. BTW I was not aware that RSS is a religion.

This much I am willing to claim -- RSS is a silent approver of right wing acts of violence starting all the way from Gandhi's assassination to more contemporaneous cow slaughter related lynchings.

Unlike the farmer protests that have distanced itself from acts of violence and vandalism I am unaware that RSS has done that for the violence that has engulfed India in this govt, but am willing to be convinced otherwise.

The spokesmen of the government have frequently branded the entire protest and Khalistani and Pakistani. I am very tickled that you seem to be outraged not by the act of the government which has real implications but on the comment someone made on the internet. That might be quite indicative of where your sympathies lie.

Multi-tenant deployments with Docker make sense _only_ if you trust all of the tenants, since it is trivial to take control of the host if you have write access to Docker socket.

You may say that it can be mitigated with some wrapper scripts with limited commands, but then you have to maintain them and we can all agree that homebrew security is very hard to do correctly.
I've used it because my uni still forces us to use Java (https://github.com/alphahorizonio/jnebulark) but the experience hasn't been that great for the actual framework (bindings are way to hard to do; I haven't found a way to do Promises yet, see https://github.com/alphahorizonio/jnebulark/blob/main/src/ma...). In general, docs are lacking quite a bit as well (you have to use the development version for most things now, which isn't in sync with the docs). We just took the sane route, wrote the backend in TypeScript (and ported to Java for Uni), and used React for the frontend. The WebAssembly support of TeaVM is fun to use for small modules though, we integrated it into a WIP project: https://docs.webnetes.dev/getting-started/develop/java.html

I don't get the argument that browsers are an example of how hard this is when browsers are today already completely capable of doing the right thing as clients. And so does Windows by the way.

Experience would help, especially when dealing with old, politically-connected organizations.

Going on their own would probably also be hard, since union laws in the US are complicated.

None of this stuff is taught in engineering courses in college. I think lack of real world experience is a pretty good explanation. Hopefully they can course correct before it snowballs. Finding a trustworthy old-hat union organizer or ten, and having them act as an advisor might help.
Perhaps a professional national guild of communications workers should be held to a higher standard than “your standard communications mixups”.
That tea is - for the most part - known as "chai" in India suggests a different origin (the world's languages are largely divided on the first sound in the word for tea: either Te or Ch).

It is true that the British brought large scale tea production to India, but the plant is endemic to India and its local consumption long predates the British (though the exact origins are somewhat obscure).

This is a great question and something that I probably should have at least mentioned in the blog post. I'm currently using the free trial since I signed up for it around Jan 15th. I am using the standard plan on AWS (US East Ohio).

Snowflake charges $2 per credit in compute costs on their standard plan and $40/TB/month in storage. See https://www.snowflake.com/pricing/ for more details. Since the beginning of my trial, I have used 9 credits and 40GB of storage. So I have used about (9 * 2) + ((40 / 1000) * 40) = $19.60 worth of resources so far. This isn't terrible but I must caution you that Snowflake costs could balloon pretty fast. That's why I also set up a resource monitor on my account to stop all warehouses when the number of credits reaches 20. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/resource-monitors.h...

I would recommend if you were going to go my route, to setup resource monitors, and only use XSMALL warehouses which consume 1 credit / hour. Snowflake sizes warehouses in t-shirt sizes, and the credits consumed doubles each size up. So XSMALL = 1 credit per hour, SMALL = 2, MEDIUM = 4, LARGE = 8, XLARGE = 16, 2XLARGE = 32, 3XLARGE = 64 and 4XLARGE = 128.
This makes it sound as though you just skipped over all the stuff about queer people or political dissidents in favor of the thing you found easier to dismiss.

Overall this is an argument for treating human identity humanely, that is, as though the human is the most important part of human identity. That is persuasive to me, particularly in contrast to inhumane models of identity that exist primarily to serve exploitive business models.
What makes you think we don't? :)

We try to be very transparent about whether or not something's on the roadmap, or why it's not when it's not.

The point I was trying to make is that often, the power users don't take it very well at all. Most of the time it's just disappointment, but we will often get a variety of flawed arguments in response to our reasoning, which I get is just frustration that they aren't getting their request.

Edit for further comments:

If you're honestly curious on the array of responses, usually it's just continual expressions of disappointment that we aren't.

Some of the more adamant users will do one or more of the following:

- insist our data is wrong

- insist our prediction is wrong

- insist the market is wrong

- demand the feature anyways

- insist it's not that much of a development time sink

- ignore all the reasons and just post complaints

and of course much more.

It's normal, of course, and it does tend to be a smaller subset of users, but there are enough that they keep me busy week in and out.
