For someone who claims not to be racist he sure seems to have a talent for casting aspersions on people of color, and it's odd that he insists systemic racism doesn't exist while complaining about the "White Leftist Power Infrastructure" that controls the media, academia, and Silicon Valley and keeps opportunities away from people of color, and spending the bulk of the article relating a lifetime of encountering anti-Semitism at every turn.

I mean, he's not entirely wrong, at least not about the hypocrisy of white liberals, but his obvious hatred of leftists and modernity (as his slight against "the Millennials and the Generation Z sorts who think Cardi B is their answer to Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart" illustrates) undermines the clarity of his thinking.

To assume that systemic racism no longer exists because people of color can succeed at if they merely excel "(like) LeBron James and Kobe Bryant at basketball, Jackie Robinson and Henry Aaron at baseball, Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson at singing … or Thomas Sowell in economics, Ben Carson in medicine..." the way he did under a system he admits was bigoted against him is shockingly naive from a man of his background.

He seems to have never once stopped to wonder why the bar is set so high only for Jews and people of color, and the reward so relatively low. It's almost as if there were systemic obstacles set against the success of certain races and classes of people that were not set against other races and classes.

And the parts where he blames Obama for destroying American culture and brainwashing people into believing in systemic racism and takes a swipe at Kamala Harris' family for owning slaves "unlike him" makes the true nature of the author's bigotry apparent.

There is a very big difference between what particular environments offer in theory (yes, you can write object pools in Java and many high-performance projects use them) and the situation in practice (there are people who spend a large chunk of their professional careers doing JVM tuning).

Idiomatic Rust avoids the situations which require JVM tuning experts. You can write a Rust service, put it into production and tail latency is very likely not going to be a problem at all.

Now you may decide that needing the occasional services of a JVM tuning expert is better overall than ownership concerns being pervasive throughout a codebase, depending on the specifics. But do accept that the trade-off exists.

Sorry, you're right. I'm not sure what I was thinking.
I don't know if "evidence from Japan" should at all be used as some example for the rest of the world. This is after all a country that is still today, using FAX machines in certain institutes. (although I've never seen one)

There's two things that makes WFH productivity incomparable to west at least. One is the ridiculously small homes majority of (young) Japanese have to live in; if you suddenly have to WFH in that house your living room, bed room, eating/cooking room + WFH office all becomes one 10-20sqm shared space. Expecting one to be productive here is kind of ludicrous. Second is the low digitization + old, conservative work culture. Low digitization means the old-school work culture can't adapt to remote work, and most people either do commute anyway (Lockdown in Japan is not legally enforceable) or just have to work in a unproductive structure to start with.
Unfortunately, as is most always the case of negligence instead of some particular language features:

“A commission attributed the primary cause to general poor software design and development practices rather than single-out specific coding errors. In particular, the software was designed so that it was realistically impossible to test it in a clean automated way.“

Ergo, concurrency doesn’t kill people, people do.

How does that relate to this specific law? Something can be bad, and the cure as bad or worse. Can we all agree on at least that?
This seems ideal for a FOSS project.
True, and it's even worse in social sciences.

Outside of the "hard" sciences, there is always a study that "proves" X and another that "disproves" it.

Why would you see this emulator in particular getting DMCAed?

There's not really good precedent for this that I'm aware of - Nintendo did DMCA the repo for a GBA emulator a while ago, but it came with Nintendo game ROMs in the browser.
True but I rely on them mostly for special use cases. For example, Google voice has recurring issues with several browsers but less so with Brave. It's also easier to spot the Brave icon on my taskbar than trying to figure out which FFx window has my Gmail/GV pages.

You don't have the private keys. If coinbase loses them, you're out of money. Possibly. They're insured supposedly, but if you have your own private keys then the only entity you have to deal with in this case is yourself (this can be both a positive and a negative, depending on how careful you are)
I think it’s a bit lazy to dismiss trucks as “petro masculinity”. First off, there’s nothing wrong with masculinity and how people choose to express it - imagine making such a pejorative statement about the other sex or a race. Second, the plain reality is that trucks are a versatile do it all vehicle. It can transport your family, hold your dogs, haul lumber from the hardware store, carry your toys for that destination/road trip, and more. They give the driver a commanding view of the road and are easier to operate than ever, despite their size, because of surround cameras and other tech.

There’s a lot to like about pickup trucks - and I say that as someone who has never owned one. This article just seems very biased and written from the perspective of a city dweller who looks down on all of suburban or rural America. It’s a tired form of self indulgent opinion journalism that we see regularly from urban activist blogs.
So you just die if you cant afford insurance instead.

There is a maximum size at which a vehicle must get a perimit to drive (8'6" width; other dimensions vary by state). Vehicles over a certain size are also often banned from parking on the street at the local/municipal level.

As a note, 8'6" is also about the point at which spots are labled "compact cars only" but the requirements for that are extremely varied from state to state, and may include grandfathering clauses (as minimum parking spot ordinances are common, changing what counts as a "spot" could retroactively make a building no longer legally zoned)

> This article fills a gap in my vocabulary for someone who shares some traits associated with ASD but doesn't suffer from any negative effects, i.e. is not in the scope of the medical autistic spectrum

Another phrase you could add to your vocabulary to describe that is "broad autism phenotype" (BAP). People with BAP have significantly more autistic traits than the average person does, but not to the extent that a diagnosis of ASD is warranted.

BAP is very common in two groups of people (i) close blood relatives of people with ASD (parents, unaffected siblings, etc); (ii) people in STEM professions. (Of course, those two groups are overlapping–ASD is more common in children of STEM professionals than in the general population)

The term "systematising" is specifically associated with Simon Baron-Cohen's theories of the nature and causes of ASD, which are controversial. By contrast, the term "BAP" is much more neutral, it doesn't presume any particular theory about what ASD is or where it comes from.

I created this as a complement to another tool I made almost a year ago called Link Lock.[1] Link Lock securely password-protects URLs by performing AES encryption client-side, inside the browser. But for bookmarking purposes, there were many cases where just having a password on a bookmark wasn't enough to make the tool practical. This aims to solve that.

As far as I have found, this is a brand-new technique. But I would love to hear about others exploring similar stuff in case I am not the first!

I cannot imagine such a swindle being attempted in the US today, much less successfully.

I feel a little sadness for that.

There is something attractive about a place where so many crazy things are possible. Not that I would trade my existence for that one, but I feel something akin to nostalgia for the wide-open possibilities of such a place.
Im surprised noone commented that when someone is able to get to your runtime its already too late to do anything.

If your docker is running in a private network and someone got in, it already means your whole system is compromised.

If you exposed application within a docker that has code0 vulnerability, it really does not matter, your system is already compromised..

I would strongly recommend against generalizing a study about WFH in Japan to the rest of the world. Japan's working culture is unique (and uniquely fucked up). WFH is severely stigmatized, and even working from the office is entirely unlike what western workers are likely to be used to for most Japanese employees. 80+ hour work weeks are the norm, and the productivity does not reflect the time spent. It's common to sleep at your desk or on the train just to have the appearance of being more committed to the company. Working for many Japanese companies is more like a lifestyle than a job. It can occupy your entire waking life.
That seems to be a weird perspective when we know that artworks that are collaboratively made by humans exist among humans. Think of films, for example, where at the extreme ends you might look at hundreds or thousands of people collaborating on them.

Sure, many people may think that the director is the central figure, (often foolishly) even going so far as to almost completely discounting the impact others have, however I don’t think many people would be willing to completely discount the DoP, editor, screenwriter, etc. as artists in their own right, with their own contributions to the finished artwork.

As such your argument seems suspicious and weird. Sure, actual people were also involved in the creation of this hypothetical computer generated final artwork in different roles but can you be so quick to dismiss the contribution of the software?

I don’t think this is as easy to discount as you make it sound.

The crux of the issue here is that it's not possible to know what someone else truly believes. You hear various forms of this argument all the time. Was Trump unable to string together a coherent sentence, or was his speech style a conscious choice to appeal to certain people? Are people who identify as LGBT doing so because that's what they truly feel about themselves, or because they want to be popular and fit in?

The statements being made aren't about the earth, but about people's perception of the earth. And ultimately you can't objectively determine someone else's qualia.

What GP is suggesting is that if the claimed flat-earth belief is simply a justification for a different goal (prevent space exploration), then providing contrary evidence doesn't matter, because the belief isn't core of the issue. But you can't really know that independently. And this is especially true where you get a sort of metacircularity in beliefs and belief systems. Identifying what the "real" axiom someone subscribes to is difficult.

To look at the conspiracy theory about flat earthers that GP proposed, imagine that tomorrow, suddenly, the Earth was flat. All of the historical record was the same. We have evidence and recordings that it was round, and that the Greeks agreed, but tomorrow we couldn't reproduce those experiments. The horizon suddenly looked different. A reasonable conclusion here might be that we're all suffering from a collective delusion (and that in fact the earth is still round[0]), because our prior that the earth could rearrange itself overnight is low. But, this person might believe that the collective delusion is the result of machinations of the flat earthers, trying to trick us all into stopping further space exploration by convincing us that the earth is flat. This despite there being no evidence that flat earthers were at fault, or even capable, of causing such a worldwide event.

[0]: This actually objectively doesn't make a whole lot of sense, if we're capable of being subject to a massive collective delusion at worldwide scale, it could be that we were doing so before, and that the change is the delusion wearing off, but I digress.

> I once read a theory that it was caused by

One thing that is almost certainly true: ASD doesn't have a single cause. Any theory to explain ASD is, at the very best, only going to explain a minority of cases, and even in those cases quite possibly only partially.

ASD is caused by a complex interaction of dozens of poorly understood factors, and the mix of causes differs widely from individual to individual

It is a very complex phenomenon, and all simplistic explanations in terms of a single cause are doomed to fail
Agreed. But still, folks make it sound bad. For instance “danger” in the many context could also be reframed as “powerful”, could it not?

Although the username is just an alias to a public key, it is almost unavoidable to have to use one's username (for example to join a Zone).

While certain tech companies say they haven't seen a reduction in performance via WFH, all my game dev friends say performance/velocity is 1/2 to 1/4th speed with WFH. Their thinking is that game devs (artists, game designers, programmers) need to collaborate, to adjust something and then call to their colleagues "how's this feel?" etc...
I am now quite curious about this book. One thing which seemes puzzling and distinctive about autism is that it appears to manifest much more in males than females (I think somewhat over 4x) - I'd be interested to see how Baron-Cohen addresses that.

On the other hand Go is doing very well with only minimal OOP features. I think for general purpose languages, a robust and big standard library is more important than any specific feature.

A few days ago, a post about Intel hardware accelerated homomorphic encryption might show a better way: if an OS is running but the server cannot know what’s running, then you no longer need to trust that hardware.

It’s trusted computing on untrusted hardware.

It’s similar to how you send encrypted TLD traffic over untrusted networks.
Actually, I don't think something like busybox included in systemd is necessarily bad. You could have a system recoverable even if everything else breaks. Of course, it would really enable systemd/linux.

Why wouldn't one create and emulator for this using QEMU? Couldn't that be possible? Doesn't a bunch of hardware faking have to be rebuilt in C# that QEMU already does (well¿)? Or is it too hard to introduce custom hardware/firmware (like this audio stuff) into QEMU?
I have a reasonable amount of experience with distributed machine learning (and transformers in particular, too) and I have to 100% agree that this blog post (and even the ZeRO paper) is largely technobabble. I don't doubt that this might really work, but how it works is not elucidated very well, and I'm still not 100% sure I understand what they actually did.

For anyone who still thinks the blog post has substance: Saying that they partitioned the optimizer state, params, etc to have no redundancies is kind of "duh," sort of like saying "we solved the problem using coding and algorithms." It's obvious that we want to eliminate redundancies to maximize the effective VRAM; it's not like nobody thought of not having redundancies before. The problem is that in general, training models distributed is a weird balancing act between redundancy, network usage, compute, etc. The existing methods, model/pipeline/data parallel, gradient checkpoint/accum, etc all have their pros and cons. Unless ZeRO3 is doing something crazy, it has to be giving something up to get to zero redundancy, and knowing what that is would be very important.

If someone could ELI5 how ZeRO actually works, that would be nice.

I love this! This thread got me thinking that nurturing/feeding/raising a child could be seen as something a parent does not just for their family but for society, and if it were for society, is it now a paid job that requires minimum wage? And all of the other things that are "volunteer labor" but for corporations, which technically in the US one can't very legally volunteer for a for-profit company without compensation.

I like the spin on seeing this from a new marketing angle, new framing.
They make money off the spread on exchanges. Exact same principle as Forex “no fees” - it’s the difference between buy/sell rates.

On the OTC side (which I guess you’re referring to?, CB sets their own spread , which makes it more akin to a fee. Even if CB is technically correct saying “0 fee”, they can still charge any price they want for buying vs selling.
