I think this plays a funny parallel to SNL in 15/16 with Trump and Hillary... Trump played President on the show and Hillary played a bartender. (I may be off slightly on details, but the idea is there - perception is reality).

But my attitude is more along the lines of "I'll do what it takes to get the job done" and that attitude comes from my veteran experience - there was no shortage of times where the NCOs (mid level enlisted) would get "dirty" when a job has to get done...

You can see it as "why is that person relegated to nothing duties"... I see it as "that guy is part of the team and will get the job done, no matter what".

I do get your point and can see how "office politics" can spin things that way.
"In this context, the “8th generation” refers to seven generations of the traditional MIPS architecture, followed by an upcoming RISC-V design. It sounds like the company is implying that this is a smooth transition with some level of compatibility between the old and the new. It isn’t. It’s a clean break as the company switches from the old CPU design, that it owned, to a new one that’s in the public domain."

Ah, I see. I guess I meant general in the parameterization sense, not necessarily in the abstraction sense. Sorry, that could've been more clear.

I've not dug into CGP yet, though I've read mentions of it. Would you perhaps have a good resource for learning? I'm a little weak on the math side.
Thanks for the feedback. Naming is hard!

Is the concern that it may be too easily confused with the game? I'd love to understand your feedback a little better.

If you have a developer you want to keep at all costs, I can imagine it making sense to some people to make that developer's life as easy as possible, including lowering expectations so there is no chance of attrition due to low performance.

There was a really useful spreadsheet application for DEC's RSTS/E... named "calc" maybe? The innovative part of it was a cell formula included an output directive.

So the normal excel formula in cell b1 of "=sum(a1..a26)" has it's output written to b1. But with calc you could in cell b1 put "b2=sum(a1..a26)" and the result would be written to b2.

This became super powerful when dealing with ranges. You could have 1 formula that that calculate the row-wise total for each row... and it would be in 1 cell, so for example "$1..$10=sum($1..$9)" (forgive me I can't recall the addressing specifics for relative/fixed/named ranges).

It was pretty amazing at the time.

> Healthcare startups are struggling with this

Healthcare startups are one place that shouldn't really have a practical problem with this - the cost of standards is a drop in the bucket compared to your overall cost of regulatory/quality implementation, filing, etc. Sure, it stings a bit to hand out a few thousand for pdfs but it isn't going to affect your business plan. If you don't have a plan to pay for all of this this you are already dead in the water.

I'm all for streamlining the implementation but a lot of it is just about implementing solid engineering practices. Note, I'm absolutely not saying you should insist on bloated slow processes, this definitely isn't required.

I also think it would be great if we could fund the ISO a different way and make all the standards freely available. It's just not going to make any real difference to your ability to execute as a healthcare startup.
Would you please stop posting flamewar comments to HN? The GP may not have been a great comment but "resurrect the idea of “civilizing” people" is a wild and gratuitously hostile stretch. The site guidelines ask you not to do that.

You've done it before, and even worse—for example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26342816. And generally your account has been making a habit of posting unsubstantively and/or aggressively.

Per your article:

> John Scallan, a ProCom co-founder, said his company pays the Oklahoma minimum wage of $7.25 an hour to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, which then pays the incarcerated people working in the call centers. The Department of Corrections website lists the maximum monthly wage for the incarcerated at $20 dollars a month, but another policy document says there is a maximum pay of $27.09 per month.

> When asked if their total monthly earnings are capped at these levels, Scallan said incarcerated people who work for ProCom make far higher wages. “I can tell you unequivocally that is not us,” Scallan said. “Some of them are making that much every day.”

> The Oklahoma Department of Corrections did not respond to multiple requests for comment to clarify the discrepancy, nor to answer questions about ProCom’s arrangement with the Bloomberg campaign.

Given the refusal to clarify that discrepancy, it ain't unreasonable to assume - barring concrete evidence to the contrary - that these prisoners are being paid a pittance for their labor, and Bloomberg - and ProCom, and the state of Oklahoma - definitely deserve any flak coming to them for that exploitation. The very fact that there is a maximum monthly wage for prisoners at all, let alone one as pathetically low as $27.09 per month, is barbaric.
Mr Online Marketing – Online marketing for companies that want to grow
I interview candidates for developer positions and the bias against women in the (Australian) developer job market seems plain to me.

I work at a smallish company owned by a bigger group of companies, it is a nice place to work and family friendly, but not at the top of many people's list of exciting places to work.

I don't know all the filters between me and the people submitting their resumes, but there are lots of stages and filters and the process is slow.

As an unexciting company we're not getting the first draft picks from the market. By the time we get internal approval to offer a job to someone, more often than not men have another better offer, women generally don't.

I believe we are able to hire women with skills and experience that would not be as available to us if they were men.

Part of the dynamic would be that our company is very family friendly, and on average women are prioritising that higher than men, and thus on average ranking us higher than men, and therefore some of the bias is structural, rather than being entirely driven by personal misogyny of the recruiters and interviewers.

But that would only help explain the higher availability of excellent female candidates who are prioritising raising a family, it doesn't explain my belief that we have disproportionally been able to hire women with standout level of skills and experience no intention of ever having children*, candidates that I believe would be much less likely to be available to us if they were men.

(* no - I didn't ask that in the interview, I learned that afterwards, when we were work colleagues! )

It's Not Just Size That Matters Small Language Models Are Also Few-Shot Learners
We are not talking about generally intelligent driving systems though.

You have to realize that most SOTA self-driving systems are using a lot of NNs. NNs in turn want lots of training data. That training is not fully generic – in other words, if you train a NN using only cameras, giving LIDAR to that trained network (i.e. for inference) will not really do anything.

Having large LIDAR arrays on the top of vehicles is expensive and slow to deploy, which directly translates to being able to generate less training data.

So if your goal is to have the best possible self-driving vehicles 100 years from now, absolutely you should be using as much sophisticated sensing equipment you can get your hands on, and slowly train your nets for the next century. If your goal is to get out something that is better than a human driver as fast as possible, then it is not clear that requiring all vehicles to have LIDAR on them is the best way to go.

Tracking the status of your cargo. At the moment you always have uncertainity during the voyage - you don't know if e.g. temperature was held consistently until you took control of the cargo after arrival, or if it was tampered with during transit in any way.

For fleet owners, no matter if for ships, cars/trucks or planes, management becomes way easier if they have global high bandwidth data uplink: you can detect stuff like engine or other part wear early by running big data analysis on telemetry, and in disaster case you have way better logs to operate on (both post mortem and during troubleshooting).

This by the way also is relevant for car manufacturers - with the exception of Tesla, the only way classic car manufacturers get information on how their cars are used in the real world comes from test drivers, accident reports and shop visits. Consistent data uplinks allow for a lot more telemetry that can be used to improve their products.

Surprisingly, even scientists can benefit from this - have ships transmit real-time data about air pressure, sunlight, wave height etc. and suddenly you have a global network of floating data buoys.
The article is probably right about the bare facts, but it seems much like one of those that insist that Y2K was a big nothing, and that the Population Bomb fizzled.

In each case, there was a warning that was followed by a phenomenal amount of hard work in back rooms to head off disaster. Disaster was headed off successfully, and then the people who had warned about it were criticized for their failed prediction. In the case of population, we were very, very lucky that the Green Revolution turned out to be possible. There was no reason, beforehand, to expect such an idea to work well enough. (The Green Revolution, with its dependence on fossil-fueled fertilization, has ironically contributed to the present crisis.)

Would CO2 emissions have continued on one of the higher curves, without enormous investment in solar and wind power systems, and in more efficient usage? Counterfactuals are hard to prove, but I don't see any reason to think not.

What I notice about the graph is how lines below current and projected emissions, that identify behavior needed to prevent readily predictable disaster, are omitted.

That current climate research must compare improved methods using the same reference numbers that previous papers used, despite those numbers being now obsolete, seems like a small problem compared to others faced in that field, such as the still unpredictable behavior of cloud cover in different scenarios, or of ocean currents.
Yes. My consulting business is taking over failed/stalled projects, usually startups.
Are they flat? I've always been under the impression that London rates are 25-50% more.

Our current ML capabilities involve throwing as much training data at the problem as humanly possible.

No LIDAR means more training data, as has been made clear by the amount of miles driven by Waymo vehicles vs Teslas in Autopilot.
"“we believe the essay does not align with Chicago Review’s editorial and political agenda.”"

It's interesting that some academic literary magazines are now being forced to admit they have political agendas, which is a step in the right direction.

People like Kunin are the conscience of our generation, daring to stand up to the mobs and tell the truth - a political act that conflicts with the Chicago Review's agenda. But it is the truth tellers, not the political enforcers, who will be acknowledged as heroes, as the future belongs to the truth, not to the political lie.
> Sufficient skills can overcome the stigma of a criminal record.

Not when there's an HR department in between the applicant and the hiring manager. People with "sufficient skills" get rejected all the time for reasons far more benign than e.g. having killed someone 30 years ago.

Like, this ain't about "stigma". This is about Kafkaesque corporate bureaucracy actively driving crime rates.
>Seems like Apple already got the majority of them to support Metal.

That is good to know. I guess part of it is AutoDesk and Adobe are already invested and have huge demand for their Apps within iPad Pro user base. So moving other apps across to Apple Silicon should be relatively easier.

And once the two industry leader moved others will have to follow to compete.

The next stage will properly be courting Fortune 500 companies to move their Windows Desktop to future Mac mini. The road to 200M Active Mac users.
I love this idea! One of the main use cases I would like to see would be sharing a direct link to a collection. It would be nice to be able to build a collection and link directly to just that collection. Additionally, having the ability to add a public description for each book in a collection would be really nice since you could use that to provide additional context.

Estimates are for projects where you know what you're doing. You can estimate home construction because you've built a home before.

I can estimate the happy path. I can't estimate edge and corner cases until I get closer to the edge or corner. It's not even there until I get close to it.

I strongly agree with these statements from the article:

>"Tasks with the most uncertainty (rather the biggest size) can often dominate the mean time it takes to complete all tasks.

The mean time to complete a task we know nothing about is actually infinite."
>I'm starting to doubt your general point, because the specific isn't holding.

A Very unwise and illogical notion to hold. We're addressing a very informal corner of CS that could be ripe with exceptions. Additionally the English language itself is full of grammatical inconsistencies so a single thing not holding does not disprove a generality.

>Take a look at the Wikipedia page for iterators, under the heading "contrasting with indexing". It's not explained super-well, but it covers a few topics

There's a contrast but nothing says this encapsulated state can't be an index itself. Meaning you can use indexes to implement iterators.

As for the other point. The distinction between iterator and iteration. I still don't see it other than the fact that an iterator is used for iteration. From this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iteration

"In Object-oriented programming, an iterator is an object that ensures iteration is executed in the same way for a range of different data structures, saving time and effort in later coding attempts. In particular, an iterator allows one to repeat the same kind of operation at each node of such a data structure, often in some pre-defined order. "

Either way this is really an argument on semantics for a very narrow topic. The context is greater in scope and is about design patterns in general which I'm sure you'll agree doesn't encounter controversial collisions in meaning like iterator vs. iteration.

No, it really isn't if they are serious, or even if they plan on being serious in the future.

If you are shipping anything classified as a device, regulatory & QA work will typically involve multiple full time hires and/or equivalent consulting help by the time you file. Things are a bit leaner in SAAS only world, but still significant.

>This is just the way things are, especially in tech. It's not sexist, it's just unfair and dumb and political. And it's applied to all individuals. I've had it applied to me. I've been in management conversations on how to approach others to apply it to. This just isn't sexist.

I think what you're missing is that the reason a statement like this was visited upon you, or whomever poor soul you visted upon in turn, may not be sexist in your case but perhaps so in the author's.

Precisely as you point out: it's dumb and political. The reasoning isn't going to be good and it's going to be opaque. Well, sexism, racism, etc are dumb, political, and opaque.
Smaller gas turbine gensets are far more effective at filling the black start capacity role than batteries are. You don't have to worry that they are charged. They don't really go bad as long as they are stored properly. You can run them on a huge range of fuels. They can be jump started & towed around by light/medium duty trucks if necessary. They produce reliable power for a reasonable duration (days-weeks). With batteries, you don't have much time to screw around before the big turbine needs to be spinning again.

This probably has been said before and relates to spreadsheets in general, instead of only to Excel: Well written spreadsheets, if they have need for formulas, can be seen as examples for functional programming, where a cell takes input from specified other cells and the result is in the cell itself, not modifying its arguments, so that it stays the true result at any point in time. This has some advantages and can give a spreadsheet a set of advantages over imperatively written programs processing the same data. Additionally spreadsheets allow for a very short feedback cycle. Of course there are downsides to it as well.

Hopefully the next time Swiss people will have a chance to vote for an electronic ID (legislative process takes time, so thinking in timeframe of 3-5y), the solution will contain some parts of a self-sovereign identity / DID [1] with the state as original issuer and trusted multiparty keyholder in case the self-sovereign is to hard for folks. It would fit quite well with their other decentralized systems.
