He did literally both use rank sexist stereotypes and suggest women should be pushed out of men's labs. There's just no denying that. He did that as part of what he may have intended to be a joke. But when your audience doesn't laugh, it's a bad joke. If one is going to joke about a fraught topic, there's a strong obligation to succeed.

Even taking it as entirely sincere and well meant, something I don't think women in science are obliged to do, his "solution" is apparently for women to just ignore the sexism, something that places the burden for men's sexism on women. That is also sexist. So again, this looks like a failure to me.

I therefore think your theory this is a false positive is incorrect. I think the most that you can claim is that the level of outrage is disproportionate to the particular offense. But that analysis ignores the extent to which sexism is utterly commonplace in a society that has oppressed women for centuries and is still working its way out of it. So you can argue that this wasn't perfectly fair to this one guy, but it's not disproportionate to the problem this guy was part of. And a) that rings of himpathy to me, b) that ignores the much, much greater degree of unfairness caused by sexism, and c) that focus itself helps protect sexism. If fairness is really what's motivating you, your time is better spent on the many early-career women continually being harmed and pushed out of the sciences, not one old white guy who is already back doing what he wants to.

Why is it more leginitate for some people to start at zero and build up debt until they are old enough to start working and paying it off, while other people start with a cool few mil in the bank and never have to work a day in their lives, being able to extract the surplus value from the former's labour and still enjoying a vastly superior standard of living?
> This dam, which was constructed without a fish ladder or bypass, cut off the paddlefish from their only spawning grounds upstream, which had only been discovered in the late 1970s.

How effective are fish ladders? If they’re effective, shouldn’t we focus on building a fish ladder on all existing dams?

You could probably also do something for site owners, like domain verification and then pulling in the site's RSS feed if they have a history of quality content?

Overwolf 1-Click Remote Code Execution – CVE-2021-33501
they are early models indeed, used for the pilot and for storyboarding with stills. J. Michael Straczynski worked closely with NewTek while developing the show, and contributed a lot of improvements and suggestions to the first editions of Lightwave (included with the toaster..)

The exterior 3D shots were 100% Amiga generated, at least for the first few seasons. Though they did farm the bulk rendering off to Alphas using ScreamerNet (also a NewTek platforms controlled by Amigas) almost as soon as they became available.

other fun Hollywood tie is that the chief engineer of the toaster was Brad Carvey, the brother of Dana Carvey

I've wondered if the future posed in the last story in I, Robot gives a taste of an alternative. I've felt like Asimov tried to explore similar ideas. Four "supercomputers" are so advanced and powerful that countries which don't utilize them would become left in the dust. The technology is so advanced it enforces a new paradigm - play by the new rules or die out. Is there some (non-disastrous) technological (or cultural?) development that will upend all traditional power structures in a similar way?

The robots in Asimov's story are basically uncorruptable. The closest modern example I can think of is encryption + bitcoin. But governments while they can't break encryption can go after exchanges and enact harsh legal penalties thereby extending traditional power structures.

Would a neuralink+pocket AI get you out of any situation, even a government coming after you? Would personal faster-than-light ships allow everyone to escape to their own worlds?

The fact that these examples are so fanciful shows how entrenched power is I'd say. But maybe some single advancement will provide a new modality, or a continual buildup of decentralized tech like torrents, crypto, blockchain, encryption, and cheap computing power.

And as far as cultural changes, maybe that was one purpose of ancient gods. To posit a supernatural power that can destroy any man-made power. But religion also seems to entrench worldly power on the flip-side.

> Humanity managed to survive for thousands of years without mineral oil.

No it did not, people were dying by the millions from diseases, hunger, and poor living conditions. That is why global population was stagnant for thousands of years. Global population started taking off with the industrial revolution and really ramped up after chemical manufacturing was up and running (1800) and later oil enabled exponential growth (1900) [1].

> The problem with our current economic system that depends on infinite growth is that, similar to a pyramid scheme, the growth will end at some point in time - when all resources are exhausted. And that will be the equivalent of going cold turkey.

Resources can be recycled, and the sun provides us with infinite energy. It is an engineering problem that future generations will have to deal with. Same way that our generation had to tame the oceans and extract oil from there, instead of just opening a well in our ranch.

What you are proposing, but you are not saying it loud, is forced population decline, that is to kill people now so that a greater cause (to your mind) is achieved. This is scary stuff.

When the dam was built, they didn’t know they were cutting off the fish from it’s only spawn point in the world (it was discovered later).

Still, there’s an argument to be made for building a bypass or fish ladder in every single new and existing dam regardless of what the current expected impact is.

GraphQL solves a frontend problem and also makes it possible to address the n+1 problem. REST only makes it possible if you add batch/specialized endpoints which is not very RESTful and is exactly the same optimization than for GraphQL.

Whether the introspection is hard or not depends on the library. A good library provides you with a set of queries sub-paths and then it‘s trivial to pre-fetch those at an outer resolver.
I suppose it depends on your view of what the problem is and what the purpose of the fly over moratorium is.

Practically I view the fly over ban as protecting passengers and property from being unduly seized by Belarus.

Since Belarus and Russia have close ties flying a plane into Russia at all seems about the same risk as flying that plane over and into Belarus.

I recall visiting the Yangtze river by boat tour around 1997. This was before the dam was built and the place was beautiful. Imagine the grand canyon but it was covered with lush vegetation. We visited a center where there were models of the three gorges dam would soon to be built. On the tour they said we would be the last tourists to see the Yangtze as it stands, after the dam, many landmarks/settlements would be flooded, and even back then people critiqued how many species of fish would die because they can no longer swim up river to spawn.
> The only tedious thing is you have to adapt this for every image type you run.

The tedious thing is that this escalates into complexity whenever you have to deal with K developers using M projects developed by N teams each using a different way to handle this:

Do I need to set USERID for project foo, or UID? Does it default to 1000 or the author's UID? Oh, someone has a problem with our project, did they remember to set COMPANY_USERID in their bashrc? Oh, wait, they're using zsh, how do you do that there? Oh, but they followed this other project's readme and that set COMPANY_USERID but not COMPANY_GROUPID...

Docker is supposed to simplify this by unification and a limited API surface, and applying hacks like this on top kind of kills that whole premise.

Fish ladders are minimally effective. They are typically installed to add a rubber stamp to dams and say "look, we tried! It's not our fault the ecosystem is getting destroyed". Same thing with fish breeding and release programs.
Gotcha, thanks. I wonder about the details here; you could imagine that as either a temporary step until things are further along, or possibly a thing only introduced later in the bootstrap process after you’ve built a stage1 compiler, which you could use to build this without an external rustc.

The page lists the sources used for each of the categories, as well as defining in more detail what the category means. The definitions are probably broader than you expect.

E.g. "safety" does not just mean the absence of crime, but "The degree of safety provided by a city in more than a dozen key areas, including environmental, social and infrastructural security. Indicators include statistics on injuries and fatalities, damage caused at an economic level, public opinion data, and data on the vulnerability of a location to particular hazards."

When you're in a hole: stop digging. Really, this has absolutely no bearing on the discussion. Bringing spousal and child abuse into this is ridiculous.

And even in the affluent West it isn't all that rare to find children caring for their elders: it's perfectly ok, even if there is a tendency to stick old people in old folks homes and to try to forget about them even though they are still alive that definitely isn't something everybody subscribes to. Those that came before us deserve some respect and care in their old age, they are still family.

The COVID-19 epidemic has brought out one thing quite clearly: that there are people who wouldn't care one bit whether older people die off en masse. I wonder what the overlap is between those egoists and the ones that want to live forever.

New builds in the last 10-15 years now typically have “unvented” systems - you still have the combi boiler unit but instead of heating on demand, it circulates hot water through a coil in a mains-pressurised insulated tank. The advantage of this is that cold and hot water are both at the same pressure, and you don’t have to wait for the combi to kick in once you open the tap.
Fun fact: Ari Weinstein, the fellow mentioned in the article, is the guy behind the Shortcuts app baked into iOS (formerly known as Workflow - which I believe acquired Y Combinator funding). He's a world class prodigy, so seeing him tinker with Amigas before most of us even started Kindergarden is something to behold.
>modern videogames are way better designed and more compelling than those 20 years ago.

I may be in the minority, but as a 36-year-old I think the opposite is true. As a teenager I was very loyal to just a handful (3-5) video games, with one in particular (Subspace, later known as Continuum) taking up most of my playtime. In those days it was actually the community that made games sticky. I would feel as if I were letting real people down by not logging in.

Today's games just feel like another job. For me, this started with games like WoW but the feeling has matured since. There's just nothing satisfying to me about a grind. I still like the odd casual game and even the occasional complex game, as long as it doesn't feel too much like work.

Of course, that was also 20 years ago, so I've also changed a lot in that time.
> I don't know where the talk about evil individuals came from - Uber's billing is not the result of a single "potentially evil" individual.

It's what would be true for the situation outlined in the root comment of this subthread to pertain: that it was "an intentional product decision."

For that to be true, there would need to be an individual that made that decision, with the thought-process I outlined in my first comment. Such a thought-process wouldn't just be sociopathic (zero-sum), it'd be negative-sum/"evil". It would be a choice to hurt both drivers, and the corporation itself (when people inevitably find out), and oneself (when blame is inevitably pointed at them.) For what? Who knows. Evil. (Industrial sabotage, maybe.)

Obviously, like another commenter said, this wasn't an intentional product decision. (It was maybe an intentional project management decision, but one made in by no one individual.)

But that same commenter rhetorically asked why it mattered whether it was an intentional product decision or not. That's why I explained the difference. Acts of evil individuals that have parasitized good companies shouldn't reflect on those companies (once the evil individual is removed.) Acts of structural evil — acts that are generated from an algorithm the corporation is following as a whole, and would still follow if you replaced every employee ship-of-Theseus style — should reflect on the company itself.

This, of course, is an example of the latter kind of act, one that should reflect on the company itself.

But it's important to distinguish these acts from acts that are, in fact, committed by bad actors that have "infiltrated" the company. For the same reason that we distinguish "terrorism" from "domestic terrorism." The latter — domestic terrorism — can, in some ways, be "a reflection of the culture of the country." When there's a school shooting, we can ask what the country is doing wrong that leads to people like this cropping up. But the former — plain old terrorism — is not, and cannot, reflect on the country. The person who committed the act wasn't even an enculturated citizen of the country, so what would it tell us about the country?
On the one hand, there always seemed something kind of flawed about the work OpenAI is doing versus DeepMind.

On the other hand, people talking about OpenAI all the time helps it thrive - all publicity is good publicity. So the best thing you can do personally is, if you don't like what they do, just don't talk about it anymore.

>Such a weird move. [...] Russia trying to punch our national carrier down

It doesn't seem weird if Russia has a history of using its valuable airspace as a geopolitical weapon. (A 10 min video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdNDYBt9e_U)

France's Macron was vocal about EU issuing sanctions against Belarus. Putin supports Belarus and in a tit-for-tat show, they denied Russia clearance to Air France flights. The motivations for economic punishments from both sides seem obvious.
I feel like you didn't really engage with most of what I said. It sounds like you're repeating what you were taught as an undergraduate (I hope that doesn't come across as crass).

I understand the standard justifications for abstraction - I'm saying: I have found that those justifications do not take into account or accurately describe the problems that result, and they definitely underestimate the severity. Repeatedly changing the shape of a problem until it is unrecognisable results in a monster, and it's not as easy to tame as our CS professors make out.

To reiterate: Twitter, with a development budget of billions was crashing people's entire browsers for multiple years. That's not even server-side, where the real complexity is - that's the client. That kind of issue simply should not exist, and it wouldn't if it were running on a (much) shallower stack.

This is a side note, but you keep referencing the necessity of the tower. Bear in mind what happens when you increase the branching factor on a tree. You don't need a tower to segment the problem effectively. 100-item units allow segmenting one million items with three layers, and 10 billion items with five. Larger units mean much, much fewer layers.
I had a second job at a computer store in Houston, TX that sold Amigas. The store owner was very aware of the studio TV market and had plenty of software including font packs on hand at all times. But she took it further because we had hands on demo gear including genlockers, a green screen, a flatbed with overhead camera and a Sony screenshot printer.

I just worked weekends but even then I would regularly see visitors from Mexico who were buying for TV stations. People were amazed by the Amiga's video signal quality considering the price but that store sold quite a few to stations on a budget.

What worked for me was not eliminating videogames but using them as a sort of carrot-on-a-stick. A reward for doing what I should be doing, if you will. Playing videogames can be a hobby like many others, you don't need to completely eliminate that from your life.

You first need to find what you would like to do outside of gaming, things like reading, exercising, learning an instrument or a language, and so on. Then force yourself to do those things regularly, just half an hour or a hour each day. Even better if you find somebody to hold you accountable and nag you when necessary. As a reward for being "good", allow yourself to be "bad" and play videogames.

I work my ass off during the week, exercise, read literature, study Chinese and meet friends. I achieve enough during the week not to feel bad if I spend most of the weekend playing. The weekend session can be a good motivator during the week, but you have to be disciplined.
