Maybe you should make multiple lists. There are some overt racist things, like redlining was, and gerrymandering can be, but a lot of those things appear to be natural accidents, or just looking at people without race before finding some physical (sickle-cell anemia) reason to.

For instance:

> * Misdiagnosing people of African decent with genomic variants misclassified as pathogenic due to most of our reference data coming from European/white males.

It's obviously caused by studying the people who present, and then demographics changing. Nobody made a decision here with any ill intent. Both the hospital and the insurance company share the patient's interest in them getting better and are already looking for better data.

> * When AI criminal risk prediction software used by judges in deciding the severity of punishment for those convicted predicts a higher chance of future offence for a young, Black first time offender than for an older white repeat felon.

A higher chance of any offense, or of being a burden to society? Kids are more likely to commit smaller crimes, and those are a gateway to larger crimes that then put you away until you're a hardened repeat felon. If black kids were being enticed into crime we certainly want to know about it. If it's a subpopulation rather than an area the causes are likely different and good decisions only come from good data.

In my opinion, though I don't actually have this option, the killer use case for Thunderbolt (or USB 4) is sufficient bandwidth and a large aftermarket for...

Docks.

Now, I had a thin 'n' light with just 2 USB-C ports, and I could get a dock/adapter that had power delivery, HDMI, Ethernet and a couple USB-A/USB-C ports. But for high-refresh rate monitors, a proper dock will want a lot of bandwidth. Without that bandwidth, you'll have to pick your compromise on the dock.
If your commute is less than 5 miles a day, you should probably be riding a bike or an ebike. Pushing around a big car to travel what is essentially walking distance is a waste (and expensive). Even 10 miles a day is easy ebike range.
WireGuard is an open-source project, and an important one. It seems to me that if you want to push to create the authoritative WireGuard implementation for a major open source OS, the commercial norms need to take a back seat.

In reality, power coming from nuclear power plants is very predictable, this makes it easy to incorporate into the grid energy mix. Nuclear power has many problems but this isn't one.
The closest I came was my XPS 15 9560. The build quality and hardware was excellent. i5 + GTX 1050 + 8GB RAM + 256 GB NVME + Thunderbolt. Linux support was phenomenal, especially on a rolling release. After about 18 months of owning it, I upgraded the memory to 16GB and storage to 1 TB without any problems. Unfortunately, I ran into a few issues trying to use it as a work and home machine.

1) Mixed DPI is insanely bad on Linux, and that issue is amplified if you have Nvidia hardware. At least as of last month, Wayland and XWayland are basically unusable with Nvidia. Since the laptop screen is 4k, but I was using a Thunderbolt dock plugged into 2x1080p monitors, I'd have to turn off display scaling on the laptop, and, because I was stuck on X11 because Nvidia, I'd have to restart the laptop for the scaling change to take effect.

2) There was no Thunderbolt dock support for unlocking full disk encryption, so if you wanted FDE, you either had to unplug the laptop from the dock, open it, type the password and plug it back in every time you turn the laptop on, or just not used a Thunderbolt dock. This wouldn't be a big deal except I was restarting the laptop frequently when changing pretty much any display parameter.

3) There was no clear best practice for managing switchable graphics. There are options like Bumblebee that I never really figured out if they were working properly - especially for games. Then, Nvidia supposedly added a "primus-run" feature to the driver, but again, it seemed to just not work. Eventually I settled on "prime-select" but that involves rebooting every time you switch.

4) Selecting the Nvidia graphics disabled on-board audio. I had to either use USB or Bluetooth. I never figured this out despite countless hours of messing around with alsamixer. My best guess is that it was trying to direct everything over the HDMI out even though that wasn't plugged in. The Intel drivers were loaded, just every time I selected the Nvidia chip, the audio devices would disappear.

In the end, I settled on picking up an Acer Aspire refurbished from eBay. It has an i5 10400, 12GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. I put a 1050 Ti in it without any problems. The total system ran me $500. It's much nicer. So the moral of the story is for me, if you do go Linux laptop, avoid Nvidia like the plague.

Companies that have shitty working conditions (so, almost all of them) prefer young people, because they are enthusiastic about working and learning and being treated as an adult professional. They don't know any better yet. Whereas people that have work and life experience will immediately see through the company's bullshit and adjust accordingly - either leave for a better place or find a way to slack off as much as possible etc.
It sounds to me like the real problem is what appears to be a screening tool being used as evidence of guilt.

For other examples: field drug test kits--they really only say "this might be drugs", but the prosecutors use jail to try to get people to plead guilty rather than promptly doing a proper test.

Also, the ubiquitous breathalyzer--it's actually coded into law as proof in many places but it's not. There is an inherent biological flaw that makes the readings inaccurate.

There is an actual, dedicated Nazi movement in the US. I don't know how many people there actually are involved in it, but it's dozens. Some of them are True Believers and crazy as saints, and some are just hucksters looking for a quick buck.

IMO, they're neither effective, nor dangerous; the honest advocates of white supremacy and Nazi national socialism just show how flawed those ideas were and still are.

The business of "monitoring nazis online" and fundraising on that effort, I strongly suspect, outweighs the actual Nazis by a factor of 10:1 or so.

Hey HN!

I've been working on Pawcket as a side project for a while. It mainly came up because I'm not a huge fan of the many extensions obsessively pushing productivity tooling like to-do lists everywhere you look. I built this more as an anti-thesis to that. A way to slow yourself down for a moment, a way to give yourself an inspiring message every once in a while.

It's still very early stages, so feedback/criticism/suggestions will be much appreciated! The code for this is on Github, if you are interested in checking it out (and maybe giving me suggestions from a technical perspective!) https://github.com/AlexMathew/pupcket

It's just a matter of time before more sanctions arrive. Because dictatorships are short-sighted and incapable of change.

When there's a mini-war started by China in Asia, you will see a full worldwide sanction on China.

Morton Salt from it's beginning led a charmed life. The company was so well managed that it was a Wall Street favorite. Then they got a young CEO in his thirties. He thought the company could be even more profitable if they got rid of everyone in the company over 55 years of age. Their replacements could be hired for much less money than they were making. This was before laws prohibiting it so he went ahead and did it.

My father who had spent a thirty year career at Morton Salt was suddenly out of a job after having the best year in his career. What the young CEO didn't realize is that in one swoop he got rid of some of the top performers while at the same time wiping out the people most responsible for maintaining the company's winning culture.

Within six months the stock collapsed, the young CEO had no answers and was fired. Morton Salt never recovered. They were merged with Thiokol and after the space shuttle disaster that merger was unwound. The once proud Morton Salt was passed around between different chemical companies until becoming part of Milliken's empire. All because of a single action by a young CEO.

This assumes that there's no original thought, or production, or anything else in this day and age. I fundamentally disagree with this. To use a popular example, the archetypes presented in "A Game of Thrones" may have existed for decades or centuries, but they're presented in a wholly original story. A story which would not have existed in the past, present, or future if it wasn't for GRRM, and by extension, his ability to work full time writing his books.

Yeah, that's what I mean by the mid-catalog. People you didn't quite go intending to play, and not the headliners. To the degree that it's a fairness discussion though it always comes down to sorting into buckets (even if absolutely identical buckets) and arguing for some distribution.

Good point. That's the sort of thing that warms the cockles of my artist-supporting heart.
Think about a strategic decision like this: Spotify decides to pay-out a $0.005/stream rate to Taylor Swift. That's more than most artists make, but its what Taylor demands, and Taylor holds some cards here because she's popular.

Let's say that Spotify says No. Spotify's argument is, in effect, all artists are sharing a piece of the same pie; if they give Taylor Swift a higher than average rate, it lowers the average payout for every other artist. By saying No, in this hypothetical universe, Spotify is standing up for indie artists.

Taylor (more accurately, her rights holders) does not put her music on Spotify. Customers who come to Spotify for Taylor Swift's music no longer feel that their subscription is worthwhile; they stop paying.

Now, the pie is smaller. Indie artists receive a bigger chunk of a smaller pie. Customers are left without the music they want. Spotify's revenue is lower. Everyone loses.

Its easy to place the blame at Spotify, and I'm sure they deserve some, but we've known for about half a century that the record industry is a hive of shit, and this is just another symptom of this. The disparity in income between the popular artists and average artists is huge, and its mostly because of gatekeeping that the popular artists actively engage in to protect their nine-figure fortunes. Spotify could have stood up for smaller artists, but I'm not convinced they'd even exist today if they had; it was really their willingness to work with the record industry that turned them into the force they are.

I do have some hope that Square's purchase of Tidal could be a catalyst for change in the industry. In other words, if they maintain Tidal's high(est) revenue share with artists, improve the user experience (a lot), leverage their existing industry relationships to keep enough popular artists on the platform, and work with indie artists... it could be very good. I'm optimistic. I think Tidal's core investors being artists themselves and a traditionally low-margin payment processor is actually very healthy, versus Spotify who effectively is just a middle-man that needs to extract enough to survive.
How do you keep a screen printing shop from just selling your merch for cheaper than you? In your hypothetical they'll always be able to undercut you since they don't have to support anything but screen printing business with the profits while you have to fund art production?

The main point is that every avenue of monetizing art is create something that isn't your art that is scarce and then sell that. Why not just have a system where you can make the art itself scarce?

Yes. The code you're running is described as having "random sleeps added to “fix” race conditions, validation functions that just returned true, catastrophic cryptographic vulnerabilities, whole parts of the protocol unimplemented, kernel panics, security bypasses, overflows, random printf statements deep in crypto code, the most spectacular buffer overflows"

This is a kernel RCE just waiting to happen.

I think where it might help is that time when the notch of power consumption matches the peak of power production: the middle of the day.

That is the time when a car parked in the hot sun causes the internal A/C to run to keep the car cooler.

Telsa cars will run the A/C when the internal temperatures reach 105°F (configurable)

This might be a good time to counterbalance the battery loss with the solar power peak.

Thanks.

It seems kind of obvious compared to the Euler method, though. Once you realize it's 4 bits across a cycle of 15, it's just just a matter of finding the right seed. It should be on the order of 1 in a billion, which is no big deal. In hindsight, if I had combined my number theory knowledge I might have been able to accomplish the Euler solution, but I didn't, so hats off to them.

The presentation of the tensorflow provides more a much higher contempt for the question than I've achieved as well. The fact it isn't 100% accurate, but can be trained to be accurate to a certain level, just makes it better.

This is pretty neat but can you help me understand the core difference between this and Braintrust? How are you making this easy/trustworthy for the demand side of the platform to use? My learnings from a few years in the space (for context, I was early at Gigster, then went to Germany to help build a freelance dev platform for the EU market and now am at Tribe.AI where we specialize in AI focused freelance work with a managed marketplace) is that at the high end especially clients and freelancers are willing to have huge premiums for middlemen that alleviate headaches, take risk off their own plates, and can better manage client relationships.
> will now start charging users a monthly subscription for unlimited printing, which prior to now had been free.

This is line is just infuriating to me; phrasing this change as a "we were giving you something for free before, but you should be paying for it".

Of course it was "free"; the thing had already been paid for. This is about as ridiculous as Samsung charging me a subscription fee for unlimited watch-time on my TV, which previously was free, or Apple requiring a subscription for the unlimited use of my Macbook.

Wrapping perfectly-functional-locally devices with a "cloud service" in order to maintain control needs to be reigned in. The cricut argument here of "[the cloud is needed to] optimize the design and the cutting instructions" is a problem of their own making.

I'm really sad that Swarm didn't take off.

I used it extensively at a job for deploying production replicas for developers and full-integration testing (the plan was to eventually deploy prod the same way). It was SO nice to use. If you could use docker-compose, then docker-swarm was a natural next step.

I can't remember the details (it's been a few years), but the biggest hangup I had was the default network "mesh" wasn't stable. But I was able to work around that by using a different implementation (i think it was the network mesh that came out of k8s at the time. Used etcd).
By the way, is there another reference with a full description of how the benchmarks are setup? I'd be curious how Xarray (end user API) + Dask (distributed compute) + Zarr (distributed storage) compares.

Xarray definitely takes a different philosophical approach based on its roots in the Python data science ecosystem, compared to "all in one" solutions like a full array databases.
