>the country’s 83 percent recidivism rate

Holy shizz, that's a lot. It's as if US laws and prisons aren't there to rehabilitate an individual but to turn him against society for good, making him a returning "customer" so that certain interest groups can keep profiting. But that's just probably my imagination running wild.
>But the platform itself, I tend to see as a force of evil.

Exactly my thoughts the last couple of weeks. I think world would be a much better place if platforms like Twitter or Facebook doesn't exist. All they are doing now is spreading hatred and divisiveness in our societies, be it USA or India. I left Facebook back in 2012. And quit Twitter & Reddit for good this week.
Are you ready to argue that the poor are better off when everyone is poor, and inequality is nonexistent ?

Because thats called north korea/ussr... and people routinely risked their lives to escape that equality...

Here is how i think your point of view becomes stronger:

Say inequality exists - but show how did it get there? Is it corrupt wealth? Does inequality persists because movement between wealth levels is becominy stale?

For example, did bezos sell slaves or sell missiles? Or did he get rich getting to sell you stuff which you really like?

Or, is there a chance your avg 1%er could be wiped out tomorrow? Or is being in the 1% sticky...like it is in the UK, Italy and france, where the same 5 families had the same wealth since the middle ages ?

If you have a fair shot at the 1% , and if the road to get there is morally sound, then you wont hear of anyone to complain of inequality.

Show which of the 1% is morally corrupt, and where progress in wealth dynamism is stalling, and im there to argue with you that we need to fix it.
I think a more apt metaphor would be, If a bunch of radicals meet at a bar, repeatedly and and loudly state their intention to murder someone, loud enough for all the employees to know, and they also get into bar fights with the people they talk about murdering...would the bar owner & employees be responsible for not intervening? For not reporting them to the police and banning them from the establishment?

The answer is yes. Yes, they would be liable.
Yes, and that’s related to the formation of the Church of England too. The religious settlements in the reign of Elizabeth I and others aimed to bring Catholic-leaning and Protestant-leaning believers together in one broad church, but it couldn’t accommodate every sect, so some were excluded from the national church, persecuted, and eventually left. You can still see the division today in high and low Anglican churches.
Nobody's saying you should want to.

This is a conversation about ability level.
Astute observation.

Try not to shoehorn something that has no consensus into every legal issue.

The entire discussion to me is as simple as I stated.
I've been using this for a few years already. Does it's job. I like it.
This depends on whether your RSUs are measured in $ or units.
> This applies to literally every country in existence. How many times have socialist revolutions simply descended into fascist feudalist states?

This is an incredibly disingenuous view, as though Socialist/Communist states were simply allowed to exist and failed, and weren't targeted very explicitly by every Capitalist state on the planet with everything ranging from economic sanctions to intelligence manipulation and assassinations to actual boots-on-the-ground war, and that doesn't even take into account Capitalism's toll on the global south in general, which is bad enough to cause huge problems by itself.

All those states that failed had problems and many did terrible things too, but to say that Capitalism is required because everything else failed as though Capitalism in many cases wasn't there making sure they failed is intellectually dishonest.
Hi Stefano, I'm a Data Scientist-NLP looking for an opportunity, and very curious in learning more about Epistemic. Do you have positions available in NLP/ML/Deep learning?
Begging the question is a specific logical fallacy which does not apply in this case.

threat of harm is protected speech.

It has to be shown that there is both intent and the ability to carry it out before it starts entering the territory of illegal.

Which makes sense if you think about it. A 5 year old child threatening you with violence is not the same as a 25 year old man with a bat in their hand.

The reason threats of violence online are not illegal is because they have no ability to carry it out. This is actually a large reason why doxxing is such a big deal online. Suddenly, these people DO have the ability to carry out the threats.

If you REALLY want to go at it from that perspective, these companies leaking/selling PII should make them legally liable.
Big fans of Courier. We use it at Calixa(https://calixa.io) to power our email and Slack notifications to customers. My eng team found it super easy to integrate.

We are just thinking about adding in-app notifications so will have to check out MagicBell. Looks cool. Congrats on launch.
Not GP, but I decided to try Firefox again last week, and had to give up because I couldn't navigate to intranet URLs without explicitly typing http://

Strangely foo/ works (goes to http://foo/) while foo/bar does not (instead does a web search for foo/bar).
I second that. Reinstalling Ubuntu, I decided not to install Chrome, just to see. And honestly, everything is going fine (except for some DevTools minor issues).
I think I agree with you about proposals to remove MTG and Boebert from Congress altogether. Ultimately, the choice of the voters in a district is a big deal, and I can clearly see the bad places this goes if every district is subject to a majoritarian check from Congress itself --- which I'm betting we lose in 2 years anyways.

But not seating MTG (or maybe Boebert) on committees seems like less of a problem, and it doesn't seem any less legitimate to me when the majority of the House does it to MTG than when the Republicans themselves did it to Steve King; in both cases, it wasn't the will of the voters that elected these people that created the consequences.

Also: it took a long time to get Steve King out, and an superheroic amount of effort from JD Scholten, who had to know his chances were slim and kept fighting anyways; I don't know that you can expect Scholtens to keep appearing to fend these monsters off.

But just looping back to the subject of the thread: there's a "rule of goats" thing about wishcasting the assassination of a political opponent, and, in collaborating with people who are almost certainly not being ironic in discussing the possibility, MTG has gone way beyond being an ironic goatfucker.
Appreciate the response! I think you should hammer this home on your homepage. There are a bunch of text expansion apps out there but I'm unaware of any that can do _this_.

On a side note, a few images weren't loading when I opened your homepage in Safari just now.
What’s a tier 1 company ? Did they provide any feedback as to why you didn’t get through?

Some in FAANG are starting to hire remotely in Canada such as Facebook. You can try that.
To be pedantic though, it's also possible for the EV of Y to be worse than X, yet for the probability of a good outcome to be higher with Y.
I really wish the people downvoting me would go read a book and not rely on Buzzfeed listicles of top 10 cool things we did on the moon and other crap pulled up via a five second Google search.

If you aren't old enough to remember, go ask someone who was. If you can't find one, then do some actual reading, or check out any of the thousands of documentaries out there. (That doesn't include the History Channel's Nazi Moonbase conspiracy theories.)
I will likely never move off 10.14 due to hardware and 32-bit software requirements. When will homebrew stop supporting this? I would have stayed on 10.12 but homebrew stopped working well on that after it became unsupported.

I replied to the same comment, but to your point about willingly swallow poop pills, I've been there when many patients are tasked with taking this. I'd say patients have no issue with the pills since it typically means they've had debilitating diarrhea for 6 months or longer if they are at the FMT stage. When I was involved, the treatment was around 20-30 pills in one go. The hardest part for most was the amount of water they drank trying to swallow that many pills at once. One guy we treated had IBS and had been taking pills all his life. He downed the 30 pills in like 5 minutes and was done. He came back the next day and said he had never felt better in 20 years. For some, it's like a miracle drug.
Say not browsers, but linux becomes the dominant OS in existence on all platforms, not just embedded and server. Does that move the most targetable platform back to the OS level instead of the browser level if we are going off the metric that human interaction and ease of use is more heavily weighted than all possible machine interactions?
Regarding differentiating python via CPython, theoretically yes, though practically it is likely more wise to use something like Numba which takes Python to LLVM directly to avoid a bunch of abstraction overhead that would otherwise have to be differentiated through. Also fun fact JaX can be told to simply emit LLVM and we've used that as an input for tests :)

You can explicitly define custom gradients by attaching metadata to the function you want to have the custom gradient (and Enzyme will use that even if it could differentiate the original function).

Integral types: mayyybe, depending what exactly you mean. I can imagine using custom gradient definitions to try specifying how an integral type can be used in a differentiable way (say representing a fixed point). We don't support differentiating integral types by approximating them as continuous values if that's what you're asking. There's no reason why we couldn't add this (besides perhaps bit tricks being annoying to differentiate), but haven't come across a use case.
In my experience with HN, many people do not understand even the basics of 1A. Like many people, they have fundamental misconceptions, and they repeat them over and over.

To take just one example on this particular comment page:, I wonder if the person writing this comment understands 1A: "While this looks good on paper, it would severely hinder free speech on these platforms if not already."
This. If you make a website liable for what someone posts, the sites will be much more heavy handed in their moderation approach and start taking down content with even a hint of a problem.

Just look at YouTube with kids. They’ve taken such a heavy handed approach to content moderation regarding kids content simply because of laws like COPPA. But then videos not involving kids get swept up into the mess because the algorithm decided their video is about kids. Even simple 10 second clips of Spongebob get flagged because of this.
Heh. I was inspired by a movement I saw a while ago to read old CS academic research, since e.g. quicksort is still very relevant nowadays but is also still approachable for someone with a B.Sc. in CS. (Whereas more recent papers all require fairly deep knowledge of the research niche).

My take on it was that lots of this old software was implemented by candlelight with a magnetized needle, a 512KiB HDD platter and a steady hand; so I should be able to reimplement it in a modern language with modern tooling in a lot less time, while learning a lot about the system. Like, dig command output means a lot more to me now than it did at the start, and I now appreciate what articles like the OP mean now.

In my opinion, having to shell out small bits of money every time you hit a paywall on the Internet is just as bad as having your data sold. I wish there was a viable pay-once-for-all alternative to microservices for the Web, possibly even integrated with your Internet service provider bill.
Are you familiar with the case that originally prompted Section 230? It would be a pretty serious problem if hedge funds could sue your ISP for letting you say bad things about them. (In fact, without Section 230, ad companies could sue YCombinator for letting you make this very comment.)

>after bringing down the Indian flag

Indian flag was not even touched. Stop spreading lies.

There's not even a single other instance where flag was disrespected during last 4+ months. So, why it happened only there? It was conspired and scripted by govt to malign the movement. The entry gates were also not secure.

This is something that I've been thinking for quite some time now (i.e. pre-COVID and just generally health related).

I was on lots of anti-biotics as a kid and I turned from skinny to fat at some point.
We know already from experiments/treatments being made that fecal transplants can make a fat person skinny for example (no I didn't do that :))

Personally I transformed my life from being very lethargic and not being able to tolerate anything but small amounts of certain foods and also alcoholic beverages without getting major migraines by getting the right probiotics. To give you an idea, eating leftover lasagna two days in a row was a sure fire way to get a migraine, as was drinking a bottle of alcohol-free beer and anything with alcohol was even worse. Even just small amounts. We're talking migraines where you feel like you're gonna puke and my eyesight was affected as well.

I felt really sick for about 2 weeks after starting the right probiotics. And it wasn't just any probiotics that would do. I tried out different ones, until I found a specific one that mainly differs in one bacterium from all the others I tried. Bacillus subtilis in case you're wondering. During that time my then current microbiome would've been fighting with the newly introduced strains. After that, I was no longer lethargic and slowly but surely I was able to tolerate foods in normal quantities again. Leftover lasagna is just awesome now, like it should be!

So yeah that's just a personal anecdote on how gut health can really eff up your life and health. So I can very well believe that people with a 'broken gut' would die more easily from COVID or get infected more easily with other things as well. But where's the money in simply fixing peoples guts? Isn't it 'better' if we make them sick, so we can then prescribe them stuff?
What would happen when one head can't write out data fast enough (for some reason) and the tape has to slow down and back up. Now, instead of one head, you have multiple heads that have to resync and get going again.

I dunno, if multiple heads were worth it, I think it would be common.
They actually halted a random control trial at one point since the treatment arm was so successful it was unethical to continue and not provide treatment to all.
The animated example lags in Safari. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets. When it restarts, it again starts fast and becomes progressively slow.
When I read your first paragraph I immediately think there's a challenge in your interview, whether that's an interpersonal or language barrier, or difference between the skillset showcased on your resume and the skillset you show in an interview. When was the last time you did a practice interview? Do you have a coach?

It's a metaphor. How would you call it with one word to get the message through?
Do they though?

The conservative rhetoric around "This is what the founders said, and is therefore correct" is pure faith. Personally speaking, I couldn't give less of a crap what they thought. My opinion is the general concept is sound, but the founders were men from the 1700s who didn't have modern values or the benefit of hindsight. So much of the constitution was just a compromise between the people who happened to be there. I don't think we need to scrap the whole thing, but the argument from authority that the founders believed X, Y, and Z is pure nonsense. Who cares? They're dead. We've had nearly 250 years to learn more about what works and what doesn't.

If someone wants to make a faith based argument that democracy itself is a better idea than a monarchy or a dictatorship, that's fine since that's really a pure philosophical position, but the constitution is real document that affects real things and was written by men. It can and should be revised.

> having to retry broken web sites in Chrome is a ritual that many Firefox users have had to get used to.

I, for one, have been using Firefox both on desktop and mobile for years without ever having to install Chromium, or even any Webkit-based browser.

Where does the idea that the web does not work well with Firefox come form exactly ?
Not counting them out either, but outside TS, they're still quite marginal, at best.
Quite possibly they are educating people out of the 17% that would not be re-offenders.

However, is is bloody obvious that if a person cant survive/earn money legally, they will do so illegally - so the system of 'justice' is just an offence to the senses cause it causes more crime.
First, your presumption is completely bull----. HN isn't ad supported. And every other class of business has normal liability, tech companies are the only business that claims to need magical immunity to lawsuits, and for some reason, people believe them.

Second, if websites shutting down is the tradeoff for harmful websites being able to be sued, yes, absolutely that's acceptable. Websites that propagate mass harm and disinformation need not exist, and their replacements will be better.
I commented on news article. Not on your post. No offence intended
I find comments like this needlessly pedantic, unsubstantive, and, in this case, probably wrong.
In 2011-2014 I taught English and mathematics as a volunteer in a prison, and unless you’ve been there, nothing can prepare you for how truly awful America’s prison system is. The federal system is a little better, but when you get down to state prisons it gets exponentially worse.

In my humble opinion, we have a vengeance and retribution mentality towards prisons in this country, when we should have a rehabilitation and re-integration focus.
This is a really nice piece of software :)

It got so easy to build a dynamic, privacy-friendly, kiss website nowadays.
I used gentoo for a few years and found it to be very pleasant, with a great wiki. The only reason I ever stopped using it is because I realized how senseless it was to build everything from source on a laptop with questionable thermal characteristics. Running laptop fans full tilt for hours on end a few times a week evidently exceeds their expected duty cycle, who'd have thunk, but I had to replace the fan in my T60p twice before I learned this lesson. Building everything with Macports would have the same problem, except worse because mac laptops were never as easy to repair as thinkpads, particularly not in recent years.

>Under the SAFE TECH Act, the word "information" would be swapped out for the word "speech," narrowing the law and potentially erasing liability protections for a range of other illicit information-sharing that happens on online platforms.

I worry about. Who gets to decide what's classed as speech or not? What's the definition of 'speech'?

Will it end up being left to a judge to determine on a case by case basis?

There was a mod once that after you launched your rocket in Factorio you could fly it in Kerbal Space Program, then you'd get science packs in Factorio when you landed it.
It is, especially for the people who are harmed.

DuPont CEOs surely see it as a net benefit that everyone can cook in teflon pans even if the price was heavy pollution. Same for big oil companies. Because they will always sell the narrative that "the bad had to come with the good". In reality the bad can almost exclusively be traced back to the desire for more profit, not to the ability to survive to deliver the good.

A warehouse worker or truck driver don't need to be squeezed for every drop of productivity or underpayed just so you can get your Amazon package on time. They're squeezed so Amazon can make an even bigger profit while you still get the package on time.

Turns out that while you can't necessarily come up with a perfectly accurate estimate of benefit/harm, you can come up with obvious candidates for improvement that are consistently disregarded by those successful founders and CEOs who saw the money rolling in and everything else stopped mattering. The bad stopped mattering or even existing in their view.

It's not a matter of calculating benefit/harm, it's a matter of them not acknowledging the harm even exists.
I had this realization later than you.

What finally clicked for me is that power dynamics form a positive feedback loop that naturally compounds inequality. If you have a little more power, the natural thing do with that power is to coerce/force/encourage/persuade others to give you a little more. The longer you let that system iterate, the greater the power imbalance. This is why the majority of human history has had massive inequality.

Every now and then, an event happens that goes against that. For example, WWII destroyed massive amounts of physical infrastructure, so it was a force towards equality. Those with more to lose did lose more. (Heart-breakingly, the pandemic is the exact opposite, since COVID-19 doesn't harm material goods, just people.)

One kind of event is a rapid technological change. These work sort of like a rainstorm for power. All of a sudden, bits of empowerment from the new technology rain down semi-randomly onto humanity. Anyone with a cup to catch it gets some. The early Internet was like this.

But, eventually, the system iterates like it always does and eventually those with a bit more power use it to build the rain catchment systems and gutters to route that new power over to themselves. Sometimes, this gets routed to new powerful people who were the ones who caught a lot of the early rain. But the technology itself ceases to be a force for equality. This is where we are today with the Internet.
