I think this makes sense when you consider what hiring a CDO signals. Organizations that don't care about diversity aren't going to hire a CDO and it is likely not going to be anyone's first step into valuing diversity. It instead is a signal of a commitment that already exists within the organizations and therefore isn't going to generate much change. The places that could actually benefit from hiring a CDO don't do it because they likely already have an institutional apathy for the work that a CDO would do.
> There is nothing “right there in the math”. QM makes predictions about probabilistic outcomes, accurate predictions, but there is no requirement for those accurate predictions to be right that there must be multiple parallel worlds.

While I mostly agree with you, the discussion is much more complex than this.

First of all, most of QM is completely deterministic, just like classical and relativistic mechanics. The Schrodinger equation is a linear partial differential equation, it gives you an exact prediction of the state of any system of particles.

However, that prediction turns out to be so wrong on the face of it, it's almost meaningless: the Schrodinger equation predicts that "particles" (wave-packets) have some complex amplitudes of many different mutually-exclusive states, such as being here with amplitude 1+i and being there with amplitude 1-i.

BUT, it turns out that if we interpret these amplitudes of the wave function (well, the squares of their absolute values) as being probabilities of the particle being in those states when measured, then you get extremely accurate predictions.

The final problem then is that the amplitudes -> probabilities step is only correct when predicting the result of a measurement. At the particle level (before the measurement) the particles actually exist in all those states at the same time, and interact with each other in all those states (e.g. particle A may interact with particles B and C at the same time in two different places, modifying both their trajectories).

So, the laws of motion for QM that you need to use are:

1. Particles move and interact according to the Schrodinger equation (e.g. causing interference patterns, interacting in multiple places at the same time), fully deterministically and linearly

2. When you want to predict the outcome of a measurement on a system that has evolved according to 1, you will get a single value with some probability computed as the square of the absolute values of the amplitudes of the possible states. After the measurement, the amplitude of any other state than the one measured will be 0, and this can be plugged in to make further predictions about how it will interact with other particles.

It is this 2nd postulate that feels very artificial, the main subject of the measurement problem. MWI seeks to explain QM without the 2nd postulate - that is why people say that it "derives from the math" (the 2nd postulate can obviously not be derived from the first, as it is a nonlinear change to the system).

I don't see what "ideology" or "views" that would be. It's not like anyone is saying that diversity is bad, we all agree that the ideal company would match the diversity of the society it operates in.

It's just that hiring someone specifically for this seems a bit silly. To take a coding parallel, it's as if you had a "chief code review officer" to ensure people are doing enough code reviews. We all agree that code reviews are a good thing, and that most companies could do with more of them, but we also think it's a bit silly to have n executive position for it

I really don't understand why spatial audio has to depend on the device having gyro (mems).

I often stick my ipad under my monitor, plug it in, and then pop the headphones on. The ipad doesn't move. It doesn't need to move - for the next two hours, it's a dongle, a very flat appletv.

Spatial audio still works like this. If I pause, look away, and unpause - where I was looking when I unpaused is the new centre. It's not depending on the ipad's position at all, just origin plus delta.

I get that the iphone/ipad need more than this, in-case the device is moving too. But it's not a hard requirement. If the device doesn't move (eg, my appletv hasn't moved for 3 years), then it doesn't need a gyro/mems to tell you it hasn't moved. I think you can safely assume my TV hasn't moved, and if it has - pause and unpause still fixes it.

And agreed on your main point, if I'm home, and awake, I'm probably wearing my Max. I can only speak for my own head, as it's the only one I've tried, but I'm digging them. The foam pads seem to solve the "burning ears" problem I have with extended usage of leather headphones.

Literally every single statistics out there on game ownership. In fact among high spenders there's a troubling statistics showing a lot of people buy games yet never even launch them :

https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2014/04/17/nearly-37-o...

>Nearly 37% Of All Registered Steam Games Have Never Been Played

Steam's most played games list tend to change very slowly over time, with a few slots occasionally taken by mediocre "throw away" titles that people consume once and then forget after a few months :
https://store.steampowered.com/stats/
In the current month's list, almost all the games most launched on steam are games that are old and have high replay value. Counter Strike, Dota, PUBG, GTA5, PoE, Rocket League.

Outside of steam, one of the most played game of the world is League of Legends. It currently has a 115 million monthly player count, and a 50 millions peak daily logins. Yes, that little competitive PC game has seen more people playing it than the playstation 4 has seen buyers in its lifetime.

The best selling game console by the way only ever saw a few of its titles ever reaching a large player base :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_video....
This is known as the Wii's tragedy. The best selling console in the world, but games barely ever sold on it, with people mostly sticking to a few Nintendo's first party games. You could say it's a tiny subgroup that kept financing literally every other games on the platform.

People tend to stick to a few game they consider worth their value and replay them. The people who keep buying new things over and over at $60+ and forget about them after they're ""done"" are a minority among gamers. They're a very attractive archetype for game developers as they tend to be a failsafe for when their games just can't appeal beyond very superficial characteristics but they're not the majority of gamers by far. Most games sold on the market don't sell that many millions and it's always the same group who keeps buying the new shiny thing.
The average AAA game tries hard to become an experience akin to movies with their many cutscenes, dialogue and visuals because devs are trying to get the attention of that guy who just keeps buying new shit over and over and throws it away once done.

And that's without counting "casual" type of gamers who also tend to focus on their one or two game and forget about the rest. Of the casuals, the wealthier types who are willing to spend irrationally are what every single mobile game developers wish they had, because the ''whale'' archetype will spend countless grands on just the one game they always play. All the ""free"" video games that have paid for options rely on these people who show extreme loyalty toward the one game. The modern incarnation of Counter Strike subsists from people willing to keep spending insane money just to get a skin that says that they spent hundreds or grands on something that doesn't even give them a competitive advantage.
What a fantastic idea!

Should utilize something similar in teaching FreeBSD and illumos too.
Many Christians I know are aware of and even study these myths and other religions, and there is evidence of early Christians doing so as well. In general, I understand their view on them is that God works through those myths and in some cases real events. In the case of Zoroastrianism, an ancient Christian hymn goes "For by Your birth those who adored stars were taught by a star to worship You, the Sun of Justice, and to know You, Orient from on High." So, this is an early example of Christians acknowledging other religious experiences, but still believing they point to a "true myth" about Jesus.

You may well disagree with their conclusions, but I wouldn't assume Christians haven't thought about these things.
> It also disallows introducing bias in articles on purpose

Wikipedia already requires a Neutral Point-of-View as one of its' five pillars [1].

So this policy doesn't affect the content of articles, but it does ban editors who say something that disagrees with an admin's bias, before the editor get a chance to respond e.g. by citing reliable sources that argue their case.

Wikipedia editors and admins are already biased towards the far-left [2]. I'm a liberal, and I've seen them routinely wipe away conservative viewpoints, slander conservatives, and ban people who seem to support conservative views. But today, a ban only happens when editors can see a conservative breaking some other rule, such as "edit warring", which they will raise to admins, who will examine the complaint and block the conservative's account. This takes a lot of work. But now the wiki-activists can ban conservatives just for saying something conservative, which is what they've really wanted to do all along.

The thing is, Wayland actually is an improvement here, because now you only have to reconcile the configuration between those implementations, compared to before where you had to do that in addition to munging configuration and state stored in the X server and in xorg.conf. It would be nice if all desktops agreed on a configuration format and a default set of options, but I don't know that we will ever get there.
I also recommend Pimsleur. I've used it for several languages. (Admittedly, all had at least some overlap with English; the furthest was Greek. I've always wondered how I'd fare with a completely unfamiliar language.)

Pimsleur's method is all about carefully timed reinforcement and repetition. I suspect it's less scientific than it sounds, but it seems to work for me.

The focus on speech also seems to help. It gives a kinaesthetic connection to the words that reading doesn't. The words come out by physical reflex.

It's even better if you have at least some access to an actual teacher who can help you over speed bumps. I had a hell of a time with the French R, for instance, and in general French is full of hard-to-distinguish sounds. And it's pricey -- but I got most of mine from the library for $0.

> Loosing a bet doesn't make you a not-smart investor.

People who never traded in their life and bought GME at $350 because reddit promised them big returns (I know a few in my friend circle) aren't smart investors taking part in a risky venture, they just suffer from fomo and have no idea of the risks

People who bought a few weeks ago may have made a risky calculated move though, I'm not denying that.

People who bought a long time ago and fomented the whole thing for a massive profit are definitely the only one I'd call smart, low risk, perfect execution, comfortable exit.

No one will make me believe that the people who bought at $350 are just as smart and taking the same risks as the people who bought at $5. They're not playing the same "game" you're talking about. Head or tails isn't the same as "guess the number I chose between 1 and 5000"
Exactly.

If you're arguing with your boss's boss's boss, who has worked at the company for five years and the industry for two decades, and you think you've unraveled their entire argument by reading a few blog posts, you're wrong approaching 100% of the time. Best case scenario is that you've missed something specific to your company, or industry, or the current technical implementation, or some obscure contract the previous CTO signed that they're still trying to get out of.
What other explanation is there for more than 100% of GME stock being sold short (genuine question)?
Yes the local storage is not throttled on bare-metal. Maybe these new AWS instance with ephemeral storage are not throttled as well, I can't find the information.

One issue I often have with `git bisect run` is that it’s prone to bark up the wrong tree when it trips over an unrelated error.

In other words: one single unrelated error, even if fixed right away in the next commit, is enough to lead `git bisect run` down the wrong path.

To get better results, I recommend using a shell script that has the following properties:

- if the test fails and prints the same unique failure message as the bad commit prints, return an exit status of 1;

- if the test fails without printing that unique message, return an exit status of 125 (instructing `git bisect run` to skip the commit);

- otherwise, return an exit status of 0.

The irony is that the modern university's view of diversity is so narrow-minded that it doesn't actually yield a diversity of perspectives. Yes, you can bolster a student body by welcoming students of different backgrounds, but ask any conservative student, any Christian student, or any student with no obvious ideological home in the secular Left if they feel welcomed and free to contribute the conversation and you will get an entirely different picture of the university system.

Diversity is not merely a set of physical traits—it has to run through the psychological core of a person.

Hiring a Chief Diversity Officer is a fine demand, in that it requires the institution to pay attention to activists.

The use cases for many people have changed dramatically as well. I think if I was an audiophile, and used headphones primarily to lie on the bed smoking hash and listening to Steely Dan, I would share your concerns.

But I use headphones for two things: talking on the phone/listening to music when I walk my dogs or to pick up my kid, and for meetings at work (I'm long-term remote). Having cordless technology is nice for the former, where it replaced cheap wired earbuds that are always tangled in my pocket and never last for more than a year or so. It's critical for the second, so that I am not chained to my desk for the 1-2.5 hour meetings that I have multiple times a week. And I have to talk with my use cases, not just listen.

The heirloom-quality audiophile headphones are simply not workable for my use case, and I am sure that I am not alone here. And my father, who I am pretty sure did spend lots of time lying on the bed smoking hash and listening to Steely Dan, did not ever pass his headphones down to me.

Ironically, in their attempt to protest hedge funds, they have probably handed over large amounts of money to hedge funds.

Not sure about emacs but Chrome and Firefox can run under Wayland native these days though still a bit off from them using it on a default launch I think. As for the general workaround you landed on that kind of approach is probably still the best approach at the moment. You can also set the scaling algorithm to something else (I prefer nearest neighbor) if that helps any. There was a PR to support setting X hidpi for XWayland but it got held up somewhere in XWayland stuff apparently.

Definitely a painful use case combination still but one that should solve itself once things actually start using Wayland rather than XWayland.
