The dynamics of the StackOverflow/StackExchange reputation system is interesting.

The way I look at it is that, if your question meets these two conditions, you shouldn't have to put a bounty on it:

1. it is phrased/framed in a way that is palpable;

2. it is intrinsically interesting.

With that in mind, I've never put any bounty on my questions on StackOverflow. But then I wonder, can reputation points be "invested"? Would it be possible to give a little push to my question by spending some points on a bounty, and then earn them all back and more via upvotes? Has anybody successfully done that?
There are way more than one rare false positive per month. These cases are so frequent they usually aren’t even considered news anymore. A few months ago some creators tried to organize but I’ve not heard anything from that effort recently. Google isn’t a government, there isn’t much you can demand from them. They aren’t accountable to you.
I'm both an amateur woodworker and a professional CNC programmer, and this is right. Frames like this are made with routers to carve the profile, and miter saws to cut the corners.

Personally I'd love to buy the guts and make my own frame, to personalize the gift with a nicer frame than I'd want to pay someone else to make.

Give me a good dimensioned drawing or a 3D model (or both!) of the display panel and the electronics that drive it, I'll chop some scrap into a mockup of the screen, craft a custom frame around it, and then swap in the real guts when I'm done.
Hmm, at a somewhat longer glance, I would say it’s very Scheme-ish in its semantics but only superficially like Haskell (and really more like ML generically). Specifically, despite algebraic type definitions, Passerine is dynamically-typed with an emphasis on structural/“duck” typing. The author plans to add a Hindley-Milner type checker but the language does not seem to be “type-centric” in the way I think of Haskell - types will be added for verification, but not as a near-first-class programming construct. I get the impression it might be more like mypy and that runtime type errors will still be a thing.

From the perspective of a very young functional programming language, it is very tricky to balance a powerful type system with powerful macros and I suspect that macros are the priority. The developer also cites the Erlang VM as a major inspiration in terms of a dynamic “expect things to fail and handle it” approach.

Still looks very interesting! I love Scheme (despite having become a static typing curmudgeon) and will be checking out this project.
Why not? At least here, free speech means free speech, not "I don't like existing platforms because I cannot silence people I don't like, I'm building a new one" type of "free speech".

I used to work in the real estate space. When these "master-to-main" changes were being discussed for git branch names, a lot of real estate companies announced that they were no longer going to refer to a home's largest bedroom as the "master bedroom", citing that term as "racist", "sexist", and "outdated":

This seems already close enough to what the author is proposing.
Even the language choice is the same.

Your project will still require the users to download a 3rd party software to run it, which I believe to be the main problem with the current approaches.
Therefore I don't see anything new this is bringing to the table.
It's no different than downloading and running the imageboard above or downloading IPFS/ZeroNet and using one of the imageboards there.

> I don't know the details of this particular case, but it's not a hyperbole.

The details of this particular case were in the linked article. And they show that this wasn't unfixable or unappealable or otherwise beyond relief. It was a fuckup and they fixed it.

Characterizing it "un-appealable" is hyperbolic by definition. It's not helpful. And it happens almost every time something like this comes up, and people like you end up redirecting to something else, like that emote spam thing. And per your text it seems like that was resolved via appeal too!

It's just very tiresome to see everyone screaming so loud about something that doesn't seem like a big deal. I mean, if they really wanted to be censoring you, don't you think they'd come after threads like this first?
Yeah, don't use that. It's a sensationalist hit piece.

The reporter really misrepresented himself. It was kinda a James O'keefe style article.
wow, this is one of the most pathetic comments I've read on HN. You've clearly stepped beyond your area of knowledge and are trying to cover it with ego.

Maybe using lowercase "whitelist" and capitalized "Blacklist" would be enough to appease them?

One sensor failed. If one sensor gives readings that don’t jibe with all the others, maybe the software shouldn’t react by pushing the nose down.
Double your beloved nickname, yours already had to do that.
The costs of wind/solar are basically lies. The numbers are based on best case generation and fail to account for storage, and overbuild requirements to supply that storage.

AKA today you say wind is X dollars a MWh, but in order to actually be free of NG or other fossil fuels it needs to be built at some multiple of total demand (say 3X) to compensate for low periods. Then there you need sufficient storage (4 hours is a joke) to smooth it all out. In the end the actual cost is ballpark an order of magnitude more per MWh if one actually tried to run 100% renewables.

You need only dig up the recent TX ERCOT generation numbers to see just how useless wind/solar can be. It was functioning at less than 1/10 of its installed capacity for the entire week. During most of the winter months its a good 1/3 of its summer peaks/etc. And that is one of the leading wind providers in the entire world.

Nukes are really the only technology we could deploy in the next 5-10 year to completely eliminate CO2 production in the electricity grid. Build enough of them to supply peak generation and rather than trying to load follow use the excess energy for syngas production via CO2 recapture and it would be possible to turn a part of the vehicle fleet carbon neutral as well.

I'm always surprised when someone goes through more effort to oppose something than to accept the PR and build a little trust. We did this in a codebase of ours recently, it really wasn't a big deal to make the change and I don't understand why everyone throws up a big stink about it.

If I'm going to spend my energy on something it seems like there's bigger things to tackle than pushing back against branch renames.

yeahnah,

ever since putting panels on my roof a few years ago I've got kinda slack about consumption (I got a second fridge, and I now run aircon whenever I feel like it) while still producing ~2x my needs. My home has a pool pump and a very busy washing machine.

Solar panels on my roof provide so much excess power that when my family next buys a car, we'll be able to power it too.

lots of homes in my neighbourhood have same, and I see big banks of panels on churches, schools and shopping centres.

solar is totally up for it. Yes there are plans in my region to build large plants, but that's more about capitalising on new abundant cheap energy than your false claim of rooftop shortfall.
No, but they are gonna overblow what's going on in those areas, to use as "cold war" pressure and justify all kinds of measures and actions in a diplomatic / trade war that has nothing to do with caring for the plight of Uighurs...

One would expect by the 10th repetition of the same BS playbook in the last 100 years, people would know by now...
This is such a great article, and I'm glad Sarah wrote it. Any organization would be lucky to have her as an engineering leader.
What I really have to wonder about specifically this instance of political correctness was, how many people were honestly and truly offended by the term 'blacklist' or 'whitelist' before some lignustics, sociology, whatever professer sat down and figured out it should be offensive and told people to be offended?

I feel like this about many attempts to make language politically correct, but I really do wonder, was there actually anyone out there sitting there being offended by this usage of those words before someone told them they should be?

Like was there actually someone sitting there, using an app, seen the term blacklist and immediately started thinking it was an insult to them?
I do however, and they weren't that many.
I know I've got an audio plugin (AU/VST) called Bit Shift Gain, because it applies the exact gain changes required to just bit-shift the exponent of the floating point value one bit without touching the mantissa. It's a handy plugin for clean gain changes (completely reversible without loss so long as you're gain boosting, not clipping, and then cutting again).

I can't say its name on youtube on my own channel, 'cos YouTube thinks I'm saying something else. (not sure what would happen if I kept on doing it. Maybe they would start sending me apprentice Nazi traffic :D )
Are those not forms of speech?

Also, again, what about speech that only indirectly affects you?

What if my speech is "I do not think gay people deserve the same human rights as straight people, and I want the government to deny them those rights"? I'm not saying it to you, I'm saying it to my elected representative(s) in the government. Should we tolerate that speech?

Additionally, I believe that history supports my position. Generally, increased tolerance seems to correlate with when society stops accepting and starts shaming people with 'bad opinions' (racism, sexism, etc).
Was this experiment conducted before, or after the purge from playlisting services botting the streams[0].

Also Spotify should have some way of distinguishing services that have paid playlisting and not - the same way youtubers(or any other influencer) has to disclose if they're doing a sponsored spot. It feels a little scummy that they're doing this.

> I've seen many self proclaimed environmentalists straight up advocate and encourage women to never have children for the sake of the planet

OK, I think you're talking here about VHEMT [1] and the like, which is only very tangentially related to traditional [2] antinatalism. The latter is more a reduction-of-suffering philosophy, in much the same way that vegans/vegetarians/etc believe that it's better for an animal never to live at all than to endure the conditions of modern meat farming.

Obviously neither movement stands much chance of success since neither stands any chance of convincing an entire population. If they have any effect at all, the former will tend to eliminate genes associated with environmentalism, while the latter will tend to eliminate genes associated with unhappiness (which doesn't sound so bad).

Apparently you haven't done the math on this, but I did: https://dercuano.github.io/notes/lithium-supplies.html

Summary of conclusions:

It seems likely that known concentrated lithium deposits will not be sufficient to permit the transition to solar over the next decade or two, but there is plenty of lithium in seawater and other, less-concentrated deposits to permit such a transition. New extraction technologies will be needed if lithium batteries are to bridge the intermittency gap. Alternatively, some of the other utility-scale storage technologies might be developed.

However, independent of the above, your assertion, "Generating another 500 MW of solar energy doesn't actually represent any decarbonization if that energy is produced when demand is already saturated," is also incorrect. Generating another 500 MW of solar energy to satisfy demand currently being satisfied by coal, oil, or gas allows us to turn off coal, oil, and especially gas plants more often, which does actually represent decarbonization. It's only during hours when 100% of demand is being satisfied by solar energy that generating another 500 MW of solar energy doesn't represent decarbonization — and then only until utility-scale storage or demand response can suck up the zero-marginal-cost energy. Or until carbon emissions are net negative, of course.

It's quite plausible for demand response (e.g., charging your Tesla or freezing water in your refrigerator when the sun is shining) to play a bigger part in this than utility-scale energy storage, due to the much lower incremental costs. But my calculations linked above show that there is ample lithium in seawater to do it purely with utility-scale battery storage facilities, even without falling back to pumped storage, demand response, trains full of concrete, compressed-air caverns, etc.

Calculemus.
Do you know how sophisticated SQL Server is about updating indexed views? How granular are the locks when, for example, an indexed aggregate is updated? That will have a big impact on write performance when there are many concurrent updates.

A long time ago, I tried to use SQL Server indexed views to maintain a bank account balances table based on transaction history [0].

I forget what I ended up doing, but I remember that one of the downsides of using indexed views was that they didn't support any constraints. There are many restrictions on what you can and can't put in a SQL Server indexed view [1].

In this regard, I think Oracle has a more mature materialized view offering, though I personally haven't used Oracle much and don't know how well their materialized views work in practice.

No one in the history of ever has gone to war to stop a genocide. Many have been started to perpetrate one though.
Unfortunately, this argument and its result is not a good guide, because it is vague of what is "intolerant" and easily gets interpreted as fighting fascism with fascism. In order to win, we must become the enemy, because we are better. No thanks.
Command E: Your Everything Search
Not really. The limitation is mostly in the training set. If you train an ML algo on a set of videos that you either banned or didn't, sure, when you run that in prod all you'll get out of it is "ban or no". But if the training dataset includes a ban reason, then the inferences will include reasons too.

What is opaque is how the algo decided the thing was violating the policy.

That applies to supervised learning. For unsupervised learning, you can still do this by requiring a valid rationale as part of the "win condition".
Not sure that last bit is correct, negative/positive in a reinforcement/punishment context refers to removing or adding, not a value judgement.

So negative reinforcement is taking something bad away to reinforce a behaviour you want to see more of. e.g. umbrella and rain, eating and hunger, etc.

That doesn't sound right. A "tcpdump -n -s0 -x -X port 53" shows that the server simply returns "outlook-com.olc.protection", not a FQDN, for "dig mx outlook.com".

> When things do reach manual review

I’ve yet to see a case of the hoi poloi get a manual review - you either are a well enough known YouTuber where they have humans dedicated to you, you know someone who works at YouTube and can intercede on your behalf, or you have to whip up a Twitter mob big enough that it hurts YouTube's image or stirs up people with contacts at YouTube.

Even then, sometimes that doesn’t work - look at the Terraria dev.

YouTube effectively has no manual review for 99.9% of people which is why its automated systems accuracy is so important.
Current Kia models even at the base level have both keyfob and phone app remote start, the former obviously doesn't depend on their services.
I agree that wholesale electricity is not a product that should be easily available (or, at least, should not be marketable) to individual consumers. However, I do not see the systemic risk. Griddy could go bankrupt because of this. However, Griddy's debtors in this are the generators that were able to continue operation. These generators did not face a significant increase in cost to supply electricity (or, at least, any such increase was not the driving force behind the increase in electrical cost; which was driven by other generators going offline). While I am sure that these generators would prefer to have their windfall they are not reliant on it. In fact, they should know that this windfall comes with a significant counterparty risk, and will likely avoid depending on it until they see how that risk plays out.
People forget that they get these free services for free, and a big portion of that is because ML tools are able to cheaply do a really hard job of moderating. You hear about things like this because they're so unusual, which is a testament to the amount of time they work correctly without being noticed.

Granted, there have been some issues with people getting banned from Google services for what appear to be wrong reasons and then not being able to get any kind of a human response. Those aren't great, but if you ask people whether they want to pay $10/month for YouTube so human moderators can stop this from happening or get it for free and have the .0001% chance that they get banned purely by accident, they'll take the latter. And that's putting aside the fact that there will still be errors with humans doing it, and there will still need to be the same appeal process to resolve those.
The powers that be do not care, because they're Muslims.
I am curious as to how this works for filetypes other than text files- what are the contents of each node in the tree for, say, a PNG file?
Because the inner bias that humans have that might lead to similar exclusion is implicitly hidden and somehow excused and the machines are held to a higher standard, for some reason.
Fair point. I just tested using tcpdump and the IP address in the response doesn't in fact end with a dot.
The distance must be fairly generous. I flew directly over the top of the north pole in a 777, and I have to imagine that at that point the nearest 777-capable landing strip is quite a ways off.
Proof trees just become unmanageable for anything but trivial example and not only that, their biggest benefit - knowing which rule is applied, doesn't get you much for a dependent type system.
Not to mention that any format that isn't just strictly text is probably doomed to fail from the start.

If you want essentially a text version of proof trees, just write fully annotated terms for your proofs. I think you'll quickly see that this just tends to make the proof _less_ readable because they become incredibly bloated.
In the last couple years especially I feel like I am walking on eggshells when talking to people. Especially when talking to people I don't know as well. It feels so easy to offend someone these days and I'm getting sick of it.

I've been having to unfollow a ton of podcasts recently because no matter how far from being related to politics some podcasts are, they just love to make sure a chunk of the episode is devoted to calling white people privileged and talking about different groups burdens. I was listening to a podcast episode talking about Skyways in a city and somehow half the podcast ended up being about how the skyways affected certain racial groups. It's a podcast that is supposed to be focused on the cool architectural features and infrastructure of cities. Somehow it ends up being a political podcast about racial inequality.

Sometimes I just want to be able to relax, but I feel like wherever I go whether it be TV, Movies, Podcasts, or even the news, I feel like I am being attacked wherever I go and that I have to be afraid of offending someone with what I say.

Even just making this comment I'm afraid it's going to be downvoted because of mentioning races in a somewhat negative sounding way.
Well, some government can decide to outlaw cryptography, jam radio (this includes Starlink, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc.), but you can still use something like Sneakernet. So I'd argue it's possible, but one need to choose their friends very carefully.
