> actual masters and slaves predate

Obviously, where did you read me saying otherwise?

> [bunch of hyperbole about downfall of civilization]

The idiocy of attempting to change language like this and the rationale given is certainly making society dumber, to say nothing of the insulting nature of people pretending this buffoonery is perfectly natural.

> no one is trying to make you acquiesce

The comments on this thread contain many examples and testimonies to the contrary - corporate training programs, censorship.

> seems odd to me

Perhaps it’s odd to you because you see it as a small and limited change; it’s ridiculous to me because there’s no limiting principle to what’s offensive. This word pair is actually one of the less ridiculous attempts at linguistic overhaul (somewhat less ridiculous than trying to ban whitelist/blacklist, e.g.).

All driving situations are unpredictable. From the kid running into the street after their ball to the drunk guy in a truck careening into the same crossroad.

We can never reach this dream of "watching a movie while the car drives" without railroading our roads in some form or agreeing on a new distribution of risk.
Do you have reason to believe that Lyme is not a real disease, despite a known bacteria and very distinct symptoms including red “target” marks? Or are you just referring to “long Lyme” (which is not well characterized, but has extremely high correlation with a prior real Lyme diagnosis?)

The website link doesn't work and the term "Himalayan Reconfiguration" doesn't provide any contextual search results. Kolkata is a pretty populous city. Along with "Himalayan Reconfiguration" the people there can come up with "Andes Reconfiguration" and "Rocky Reconfiguration" as well.

As a half-Croat, this reminds me also of a more recent example: the Balkans. Let's just hope and pray to whatever gods we adhere to that, should the situation come to the worst, it won't end in Balkan-level bloodshed.
Probably true but I’d think Google, GM and every other company working on this tech that is probably going to be a 100B+ industry would have at least some influence here.

The idea of the agile manifesto is great.
The implementation sucks.
As-is-done the value proposition of the management style is in the negative.
This negative value, aka cost, is then used to support extra roles nobody needs - scrum masters, agile consultants, etc.
From a, e.g., YC POV, agile is great, because you can sell useless cloud-worded services surrounding it.
From a dev POV, out of the trenches, it's an annoying fad - at best.
Sure. Its been decades that people have been hoping India would disintegrate. Unity in diversity. One India. Jai Hind!
Daily standup could be a good idea if it was strictly bounded in time (15 min) and planned about noon when productivity usually drops and it is less likely to disrupt everyone's work.

As for sprints: for a few months I have been in a team where there are strictly applied. There is so much time lost: basically the sprint is either too short or too long. After a few "failed" sprints time estimations will become very conservative giving a lot of slack. Personally I am not comfortable with so much slack, it undermines my motivation.

In my experience anyway, as pressure increases sprints are less strictly enforced, for the sake of efficiency. Also approaching delivery the software has become quite complex and bugs tend to be complex has well, hard to estimate precisely. The fact that sprints do not hold under pressure is an indication they are not suitable for SW development.

There is also much time lost in the 2-3 days preparing for the next sprint, because we just cannot spend full days on meetings, for both human and material reasons. Those days are only "half worked".

> Have Indian muslims been denied citizenship rights? ...CAA makes special provisions for some religious minorities.

Yes except Muslims. Thats the problematic part. Religion is used as a defining position for 'repatriation'.

> the ruling Republican party were not only responsible for spreading voter misinformation, opposing a free and fair election, causing an insurrection and failed to hold anybody accountable for it.

This is bad but its not bad as whats happening in India. The govt is throwing activists in jail for protests and raising questions. They have effectively captured all media houses and they telecast blatant anti Muslim propaganda 24/7. This is a massive problem for all except the privileged whom the govt is made of.

This entire defence of the govt and its blatantly bigoted actions looks silly. But I'm not surprised given the demography of Indian tech industry.
On code review and/or by a linting tool. Microsoft seems to be using lots of static analysis, and recognizing a memcpy loop is pretty simple.

TD = Technical Director

Yeah, our replacement producer was great! She was great enough to go straight to just leading a different project. I did not sense any resentment or disruption in our original producer coming back though, and she was also great. Of course there was a proper handover etc as well. I think when you assume competence all around and hire competent people this becomes largely a non-issue to be honest.

> Pascal, which had sized strings, was in wide use before C. Many people, including Bill Atkinson, who wrote many of the original Macintosh applications, thought C was a step backwards.

Sure, but parent wasn't saying "it was not possible", they said "It was too expensive".

And sure enough, the market drifted to the cheaper solution: you could run slightly more applications if your OS and applications were all written in C than if they were written in Pascal, Modula, etc.

Easy man. I just proposed a hypothesis just like you did. Why are you fuming?

If you have any arguments against that statement itself, please make them instead of attacking my character.

It’s pretty anti-intellectual to shut down some hypothesis just because you don’t want it to be true.
I don't have a real proposal in mind and like you I do not think Amazon or Ebay are critical to the stability of the internet.

I do think, however, that the current situation is no longer acceptable. I don't know whether as a society we should consider some sort of limit on influence a given company has, but that is actually what is needed. If Ebay was a corner store, I would not give half a shit that it stopped carrying Seuss. When a publicly traded company does it, it quickly becomes problematic.
Is that the case? Most people get into an accident at least once in their lifetime and most people don’t drive for 100 years.

It certainly wouldn’t be statistically significant but over the course of a year or two you’d except a couple accidents for 100 cars.

As shown in a figure in the section of VQGAN, VQGAN offers superior quality over VQVAE2 for a given amount of compute budget, and given that the generator of VQGAN is based on an architecture similar to VQVAE-1/2 (like DALL-E), it does not suffer from mode collapse or instability you mentioned.
Tensorflow does officially support ROCm. The project was started by AMD and later upstreamed.

It is true that it is not Google who are distributing binaries compiled with ROCm support through PyPI (tensorflow and tensorflow-gpu is uploaded by Google, but tensorflow-rocm is uploaded by AMD). Is this what you meant by "not officially supporting"?

This is profoundly ignorant, or to quote you, just stupid.

Turns out, most people who use heroin don't get addicted to it. Most people who smoke tobacco, don't get addicted to it.

Easily 90% of people prescribed a course of opiates, don't get addicted to it. I've been handed a scrip for vicodin three times, never finished a bottle in less than a year's time.

Coffee dependence is the most common chemical dependence in the Western world, and stopping will outright ruin your entire week. Is withdrawal from a hefty heroin habit even less fun? It is, but so what? I eat eggs every day, what happens if I stop? Nothing, that is not at all true of coffee.

Oh, and bread? Compulsive overeating has a similar etiology to other addictions, it leads to morbid obesity and the various dire consequences that come with it, it ruins lives. Do you think someone rounding 150 kilos on their way to 200 feels like they're in control of what's happening to them? They would stop if they could.

Addiction to gambling is also both real and tragic. And now we're getting into the home stretch: so is addiction to social media.

Remember how most heroin users don't get addicted? That's real by the way, look it up. Most users of social media don't develop an addiction, just like most players of pay-to-play games don't blow their whole paycheck on them or sneak off to play at work until they get fired, but: some do.

Ever quit smoking? It's not that bad, really. Maybe a headache, some brain fog, only problem is that you're constantly thinking about getting some nicotine for, like, weeks.

Which is why it's just about the hardest drug to quit, heroin addicts have a higher success rate than cigarette smokers (again: look it up). Addiction along the dopamine pathway is insidious. Opiates hook users through a simple mechanism, if they stop, their pain receptors go into overdrive.

Dopaminergic stimulus, which includes chemicals but also endogenous pathways, produce repetitive compulsions: they hijack the part of the brain which wants you to do that thing again.

Social media isn't nicotine. Even cocaine isn't nicotine, it's uniquely pernicious. But it absolutely creeps up into some people's lives, to the point where their social lives and work lives suffer for it, where they feel out of control, break promises to themselves to use it less, and quit with the intention of walking away which they then break.

tl;dr you don't know what you're talking about.

The concern is not that people want to continue using I ran the Zoo as a educational tool.

The concern is ebay is weighing in to say they know better than parents how to educate their children. OR that eBay is weighing in that they know better than collectors what books are suitable for purchase.

Some people find it presumptuous, patronizing, and concerning that eBay wants to make these decisions for individuals.

Scrums and such meetings are for the benefit of the organizer (boss, ...). Only exception is if someone is blocked but he is bad at expressing it directly to the person responsible.

I've been part of many meetings/scrums where the point was that the manager gets the info of how things are progressing but the meeting itself was net negative for the developers as they lost their flow and some of their time.
I think it’s more about control. Artists are exploited because they have no alternative and no power to do anything about it.

Just as an aside, it's not necessarily the case that all your family would get infected if one of you does... in studies the proportion of family members who get infected is between 10-50%: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

My wife got infected around 10 days ago (PCR confirmed last Wednesday, now seemingly recovered and testing negative) and while I exhibited some very mild cold symptoms (fatigue, joint pain, a single high temperature reading) it never went beyond that (so far, knock on wood) and I tested negative when tested at the same time...

Good point about the flu. I also had some flu symptoms around that time and always tested negative on antibody tests.

Is it OK for them to delist other things like spam and porn if enough people don't want to see them? If not, we're looking at a very different internet

If so, we can probably reason about the merits of delisting based on whether we feel algebra might be good and early twentieth century casual racism the rightsholders have disavowed might be bad (or at least, not so good eBay ought to feel compelled to incur reputational damage to continue to distribute it).

unlike adult content or spam, casual racism is an idea so important platforms ought not to impede its spread is an argument of course, just not a freedom of speech one.

And it's not like people at JPL are clenching their fists and screaming, "Damn you, Shotwell! Begone, Mueller! SEC eat you, Musk!". NASA is fully on-board with what SpaceX is doing - cutting straight into and reversing the dreaded Space Mission Costs Spiral. They may be cautious now, but eventually, they'll just start putting scientific probes on SpaceX rockets too (and those of competitors). SLS notwithstanding, NASA is happy to outsource launches and focus on bleeding edge missions.

And if SpaceX blazes the trail? Expect more scientific missions to follow, as cheaper and more frequent launches - the Spiral put into reverse - cuts mission costs across the board. NASA will be able to do more cool stuff with their budget. And so will everyone else.
I specified mm wave because regular 5g is about as good as 4g making the distinction worthless in practice.
