That sounds like a straw man. There's a big difference between practical "practical job training" and "breaking rocks."

If the labor is entirely volunteer and something that actually requires some training, it's job training. If it's forced (which is legal in many states) and it's entirely grunt work like janitorial duty or highway cleanup, then it's prison labor.

> When minorities are made "ambassadors" as though they suddenly speak for EVERYONE in their minority, it is awful, and wrong.

I've seen this described as "privilege of individuality", a privilege accorded to the majority and denied to the minority: https://twitter.com/michaelharriot/status/135278572082239488...
Understandable, we'll post it when it's actually finished.

There's a lot to like about MIPS. It's a perfectly usable RISC architecture that:

- is easy to implement

- is supported by Debian, gcc, etc..

- is virtualizable

- scales from embedded systems (e.g. compressed MIPS16 ISA) up to huge shared-memory multiprocessor systems with hundreds of CPUs

Like RISC-V, MIPS traces its lineage to the dawn of the RISC revolution in the 1980s, though on the Hennessy/Stanford side rather than the Patterson/Berkeley side.

And it was supposed to go open source: https://www.mips.com/mipsopen/

but that effort sadly seems to be dead: http://mipsopen.com

That's really too bad. MIPS doesn't deserve to die.

Fortunately as mentioned above it will live on as long as there are PS2 consoles or emulators around.
How fast do humans drive in heavy snow? I think most people drive extremely slowly to allow themselves to filter out the snow noise by taking in more frames, this will be possible with AI too.

It's worth noting there are many accidents caused by people driving in snow and that AI could be hugely safer at some point.

And also having to drive manually when it is snowing is probably fine for v1.

I would worry more about bicycles, they can be extremely tricky if the rider doesn't understand how to explain their presence on the road to drivers.
Can confirm. I'm a senior engineer with a great track record at early stage startups as well as publicly traded companies. I'm staying put with my current employer because I refuse to put up with hiring process horseshit.
They took over someone else's land because of a cultural/religious belief that they need an ethnostate. I'm sure that they protect their citizens and their borders, and almost every country would say the same. That doesn't mean they didn't bring localized conflict upon themselves by disrespecting the rights of others.
The thing about the clipboard has been around since the beginning of Excel.

"lack of diversity actually works to the detriment of tech companies. "

Tech companies are diverse, more so than most companies.

You mean to say 'not the right kind of diverse'.

The ridiculous, Monty Python conversation that nobody wants to have, is that since White Americans are slightly underrepresented, but Asian Americans are about 600% over-represented ... which means getting the 'right' kind of diversity literally means hiring less people of colour, specifically Asians, which seems really unfair to them for very obvious reasons.

It's funny and Orwellian at the same time that the problem exists out in the open, but nobody dare speak a word of it. These are the kinds of problems that Cults and the Bad Kinds of religions have.

The problem with the 'rule' as you describe it is it may decrease diversity in any sense.

There is no data to support the fact that African Americans and Latino Americans are showing up in the pipelines in sufficient the right qualifications to 'balance out' diversity.

The data actually works the other way - the ethnic and gender composition of people hired basically is a good reflection of the pipeline.

I understand we can do better than just looking at the pipeline, but from any specific, direct hiring perspective, the pipeline is it.

Within the pragmatic but admittedly narrow confines of 'the pipeline' - any company is going to be hard pressed to hire considerably more of the 'right race' of people. It's not going to matter that much how you do interviews.

'The Solution' is going to have to be 1) getting more kids from different backgrounds interested in tech at an early age and into the pipeline and 2) accepting that 'diversity' is an ideology on some level, and that just because you have people of some group, doesn't necessarily imply negative or racist behaviours. Nobody will ever state the later in public, but it's possible we come to terms with it.
I don't understand the comparison? Outlook and Thunderbird were pretty similar iirc. K9 does give me notifications when new email arrives. It's possible that it's every 15 minutes rather than instant: it hasn't been an issue for me so far. I know that Linphone is able to receive phone calls which is presumably by listening on a socket or getting activated by some inetd-type thing in Android. Maybe K9 could do similar.
> It's funny that two people has claimed that I spread Russian propaganda, but none of you have even tried to deny the facts presented in my comment.

I see the following reasons: political discussions can be extremely long, and in any case are frowned upon here, and the chance of finding irrational stubbornness for this subject even here is high. So... we're agreeing to disagree then.
These are incremental releases of gradually improving functionality. Their plan is to get to level 3+.

People who buy it know what they are getting, and if they don't, it's entirely willful ignorance. I don't even own a Tesla yet I've read plenty about the actual capabilities and the fact that these cars can't truly drive themselves.

This is a terrible argument. You’re basically saying that computers can do anything humans can, which so far has not been the case.

It's... complicated, but in a nutshell, yes, it's unpopular . The closest thing we have to data would be polls [1], which shows that the view is now positive only for a minority (although the ratio is 47 / 53, so you might say it's "slighly" unpopular.)

It's clearly became a purely political and partisan topic though ; the right-wing, older and upper class will be more favorable than the left-wing and youngster.

The French Green party, the most "visible" NGOs, left-wing press and public media are (rather) openly against nuclear.

Right-wing press and the industry is only slighly more favorable. Quite surprisingly, even the far-right movement is going "full nuclear" those days.

A large part of the population is concerned by security and the handling of nuclear waste ; and too many believe that our nuclear plants are contributing to global warming [2].

The debate is not going to get better any time soon, as we're about to reach both the end-of-life of the 40-year-old plants, and... an electoral year.

By that logic did Bush inherit the dot-com crash from Clinton? I think you'd like to make the world fit neatly into ideological views. The boom-bust cycle of the US economy is pretty nuts when you step back and take it all in. Often the federal policies and bank regulations, to the extent they drive 'irrational exuberance', seldom reach their zenith and nadir all within one administration. The subprime mortgage crisis being a good example.
While I'm your everyday white guy, I've never understood why people among minority groups would accept this completely over-the-top pandering. It's a form of shaming and it's dehumanizing. Who wants this?
No you're not. It doesn't seem that far off for Minneapolis, the metro I'm most familiar with, but the fact that the premiums for Silicon Valley and Seattle are only ~20% and ~4% respectively seems suspect. Maybe high-paying companies in tech hubs just don't use Dice, which apparently provided the data for this?
Maybe the government can raise rates and offer some kind of refund to people who bought their first house in the last year?

Otherwise, the number of people in that "put their life savings as a downpayment on an overpriced house" category is only going to grow, making the problem worse when the collapse eventually happens.
When ISO is defacto law in some industries, I would argue that laws should not be paywalled.

Excel is great no doubt but everyone forgets that it is solving only some types of problems - mostly data input, fomula-based calculations, etc. It is completely unfit for purpose for others.
So you're moving the goalpost from "no users" to "no users I approve of"?

A few other use cases: DeFi (mainly crypto backed loans), NFTs (so far not too interesting to me), distributed ETH2 staking pools, distributed betting markets (the coolest one in my opinion).
The parent's point is that ISO doesn't care about you, the hobbyist programmer.

The parent wasn't saying that millions of hobbyist programmers don't care about standards. The point is that millions of hobbyist programmers DO care about standards. But ISO doesn't care about the milions of hobbyist programmers and therefore paywalls standards.

You want to launch east to get a boost from earth's rotation, and as close to the equator as possible. Even ignoring that, the great lakes are not big enough for sufficient safety area (if that sounds preposterous, consider that Cuba, that is a thousand miles away from their launch site, actually limits available inclinations from Boca Chica), and there are no deserts in the Americas that don't have cities between them and the east coast.

I get that people want to work the political angle here, but Boca Chica was definitely the best remaining place to launch rockets from continental US, no arguments from regulatory environment needed.
I've thinking how to make this idea work, but the more I think about it the less I think it's viable.

First, you would be centralizing the ability to "cancel" papers. One bad member of the board could wreak havok. Simultaneously, people in charge of the database would be constantly bombarded by pleas (not all of them honest) to revoke this and that researcher's paper. So it would be bad for both sides.

You could get away with something like Retraction Watch, but you'll always be behind - you could keep track of which papers were retracted (which is already a lot of work), but not every paper that needs to be revised is retracted.

I guess figuring out a perfect system for deciding which ideas are right is hard.
> but the Python ecosystem progressed a lot in the past 2 years, now you have Numba JIT, Jax JIT, PyTorch JIT, XLA JIT and many other proprietary JITs that are not open-sourced.

Python has a bunch of specific use-case, non-interoperable limited JIT’s that you have to learn separately.

Not the case with Julia: you write some arbitrary code, it gets optimised, so much simpler. The Julia community did some cool things with Flux where complex and field-specific equations were dropped wholesale into neural-network definitions without having to rewrite anything. That sort of power is invaluable.
It’s not science if it’s not reproducible.

This is an absurd analogy that doesn’t map to the situation at all. What you’re actually saying is that if a white person cheated at football before you were even alive, all white people playing today should get a yardage penalty.

What is selfish is you punishing someone else with the same skin color, and then upholding literal racism as a virtue.

They absolutely should lose their shit over that.
Could you briefly write a description of what this is?
Its a hard problem, but LIDAR has similar issues. Snow can cause noise for other sensors as well. In each case it seems like these issues are not insurmountable.

I don't expect that any self-driving systems will start out with handling all weather conditions. Even in the long term they may handle fewer conditions than humans.
Have you done any experiments to see if you have to weed out more people when you post a low range versus a high?

Or do people think to themselves, "Well, I'm not qualified to do a job that's paying 40% above market. They want someone serious."
You continue to, willfully, argue a point nobody cares about.
Nobody cares about Venmo, it’s a crappy YouTube. The issue is creating content on big techs platform and the danger it entails.

I don't think everyone, let alone most people, makes the leap from "smell" to "repulsive". "My fridge smells funny" is not the same as "My fridge smells so bad it makes me want to puke". The first is a cause for investigation, the second is a cause for real concern.

Most code "smells" are in the former category, they are not describing the code as "repulsive" but "off". If you're making that leap then you're going to need to supply (or find) another term for what is described, for now over 20 years, as a code smell. Since most people don't have the same visceral reaction you do, they won't care.

We had a great music director once, now world renowned (we never deserved him), who believed in blind as in blindfolded auditions.

Whoever the candidates were, whatever their backgrounds and accolades and educations, he didn't care. No one was to know who they were rating, and after a while there were complaints of bias... for talent.

During that period, yes, there were more women and people of color chosen than historically comprised their body, but they were from everywhere. It turns out musicians didn't want to be reduced to bigoted demographics, so it attracted many more "non-traditional" candidates when word spread you could make it on merit.

Blind auditions were scrapped when he left, and so did actual diversity. You can include everyone today in a single introduction by mentioning Yale, Juilliard, Paris Conservatory, Royal Academy, etc.

Merit destroys class privilege, which is a big faux pas when your patrons tend to be family of people who want to advance their careers in your institution. Just recently, I couldn't help but notice the timing of the creation of another superfluous position being filled by a fledgling choral director and a $MM donation by his parents to expand the performance hall he'll be using.

Mere dutiful patronage, surely, in these times of austerity.
Yes, and if you still have 5 1/4" floppy disks lying around (assuming you're old, like me) then you may have some tyvek sleeves. It feels a bit more slippery than paper, and it is much harder to tear.

Those numbers are pretty close to what I've seen from colleagues who share their salaries with me (those who are not from FAANG, or top tier companies).

That's the feeling I get too, most software salaries aren't that high.
Simple. Don't let them. My province has a math education program that would rank amongst #2-3 in the world, and you aren't allowed to run a private school with a different curriculum - at all, beyond a certain amount of enriched tracks that are available to anyone.

This also applies to the first few years of college.

Result? Everyone gets an amazing education, and you can't pay your way around it.

You might say that there is a risk that universities will simply select around it. In order to prevent that, universities may not use any criteria to select students from within the province, except a score, calculated from pre-university college education, that is a Z-score augmented by metrics from the performance of your classmates at standardized high school exams, deviation thereof, and a few more. The exception are programs like medicine and dentistry, where this score is used as the primary criteria but the interview and scores at ethical tests are also taken into account.

That way, there is simply no way to pay your way around it. Private high-schools are not competitive with the best public schools (which you can enter by exam or recommendation), purely private colleges and universities are even worse, and everyone ends up on a common track.

Result? In my Computer Science program, almost every minority is over-represented (the others are more commonly in Math or EEng), altough there is still a large majority of men.

It works pretty well. I would recommend it to you, but you'd probably need to sort out your incompetent-on-purpose government (from both parties). It would also require basically nationalizing every accredited university, but on the upside you'd have tuition costs of ~3000$ per year for every university.
I guess this is worth remembering. There are a lot of lower paying dev jobs in the US, but they don't get much publicity :).

Part of the problem is lack of awareness, and prior to more recently, lack of remote options. There are countless job boards and recruiting firms, and millions of "candidates" (many of whom fail FizzBuzz, but that is not visible in a simple resume).

If the qualified supply and the demand had awareness of each other, and if remote were an option, it would be better for most people. The companies would be able to acquire the talent they needed, and the talent would have better options.

On the other hand, the current system works enough... there may be some low quality developers working at some companies, but they just may be getting enough done that the companies can function. And the more skilled, more motivated people will obviously seek and possibly move for the better jobs and pay.
I always assumed by "full" they meant that it doesn't just do autopilot on highways, but is capable of handling local roads, traffic lights, stop signs, as well. Basically it can drive from local address A to local address B assuming good conditions.

I'm a robotics person though so it was always pretty clear to me that I couldn't possibly think of being able to deploy an L4 system with their set of sensors.

Saying that computer vision can view the world with snow present is hardly the same as claiming that computers can do literally anything a human can.

On the contrary, having computer vision capable of handling snow is a necessary precondition for self-driving, regardless of what other sensors are present.
