SFDC and others could make a big difference by hiring some homeless workers with a dedicated program. Half of the battle is for dignity and a decent resume. There are plenty of people with college degrees on the streets. Simple changes like not requiring a permanent address on job applications and payroll allowing cash cards as a deposit option (many payroll services do support this) are powerful enablers for people who need a hand up.
Note that this is the Washington Times, not the Washington Post.

The last time I checked, the Washington Times was slightly to the right of Fox News. It was more of an opinion paper than a journalistic endeavor. It may have changed since then, but that was my assessment about ten years ago.

Right, that's what I was saying. The statement "The kernel has limited stack space and isn't good at growing it." felt like a non sequitur when followed by "QNX got this right. No strings in the kernel. Everything is either fixed-length or in user space. A privileged program in user space deals with filenames and such." Whether or not you use fixed space is orthogonal to whether you use VLA.
Well, if it's like the absolutely tone deaf alerts under videos on YouTube then I would expect some protests. The COVID misinformation warning on a video tracking air traffic for the last two years or the "sovereign citizen" warning on a video about a mishandled police stop (no sovereign citizen mentioned) does more harm than good.
one fun issue is what to do with test cases. I know of at least one project that uses precommit hooks to test with eslint (or something), etc but has tests that are explicitly checking for things that eslint disallows. Tests like that end up requiring disable comments by design.

(Also remember that time the webkit repo got hosed by someone committing the sha collision as a test case?)

I think the key is that you have to spend some time doing the entire thing, but you have to be willing to go back and rework your fundamentals in smaller chunks (examples from the article being anything from composition to eyeing distances to color mixing).
I suspect that those riding without helmets might actually be cheaper to treat. If you survive an accident but get your foot degloved, and you need an amputation and a prosthetic and months of physical therapy, and then a hip replacement years later because of your messed up gait, that's a lot of taxpayer money. If you die on impact, treatment is much cheaper.
As I said, these SJWs and "AI ethics" researchers have not invented the idea of minimizing the number of mistakes ML systems make.

Yes, you can point out that perhaps a data set is missing some black faces, but that should be a minor bug entry in the bug tracker, not a million dollar industry getting people PhDs.

And "those people" are not stopping at providing better data sets, they want to introduce their own political bias into the system, literally creating a distorted view of the world. As I said, this is serious stuff, if you assume most people will perceive the world via Google searches.

Maybe the issue here is "known problems" - this is not about "known problems", it is about a specific ideology that makes them believe they "know" what causes certain problems. As a simplified example, they want to make the AI "not see color" and think that will make the problems go away. Forcing the AI (and in turn the people who use it) to not see color is totalitarian control and wrong.

Decision making is an issue, but that needs to be addressed at the human level, not in the tools that are being used to perceive the world.

If you AI discovers that women historically have been worse hires for your company (or people doing the hiring thought they were worse), the correct response is not to introduce some artificial bias in the ML to ignore gender or inflate the scores for women. It is to try to figure out what has been going on, and to make up your mind what you actually want.
BTW SF was itself a gold rush town, and its tolerance for weirdness* is often attributed to that.

* said tolerance for weirdness has seriously declined over the last couple of decades as people moved in for reasons other than that variety.
iOS is opening up to 3rd party services quite a bit in recent releases. The files app and allowing setting default apps are nice improvements which have come recently. As well as allowing 3rd parties in the find my network.

I think we could see full device backups to other cloud services later. I guess the problem is they would want to provide a specific api for 3rd parties to implement rather than trying to drop a 256GB zip file on google drive with no differential backups.
The current theory isn't particularly lacking, the average teacher (let alone layperson's) understanding of it is lacking. Plus there's dozens of rubbish theories that are sorely lacking so you have to find the researchers that actually do solid research.

IIRC (see the above, it applies to random comments on the internet) drill work is more effective (but feels less effective to both teachers and students) if it's mixed up with different topics or question types, kind of like how doing a kata is better than doing exactly the same punch 10x (obviously katas are not ideal either, at least not as the only tool).

Really you need a bit of diversity, and IMO two of the big traps to fall into are overly homogenous drill work (which doesn't retain as well as mixed drills, but looks effective because anyone who doesn't eat their crayons can do it without thinking too hard) and one-off problems (do an assignment where you solve a heavily obfuscated problem once, then pretend that it's now something that students actually understand, when they've literally just answered one single question assuming they even did it themselves).
GitHub almost works as-is without javascript. Pretty much the only stuff that doesn't work is stuff that gets loaded after the initial page load, and that could be changed to load with the page.

Looks like HN ate the exclamation mark, using the slug url title would've been better.

Personally, I was first taught about the basics of data warehousing and the needs of common OLAP workflows before ever touching a cube. Cubes were just another way of accessing and slicing the same data, but far from the only way. This has only become more apparent as more and more analytics isn't relying on the traditional RDBMS-based data warehouse structure in favour of more exotic sources.
As usual, elections have consequences, and while people generally agree the new DA has a lot to do with the decline (not prosecuting crimes etc), few are questioning the ideology that led to his election, and the principles underpinning this way of "governance".

The sad part is plenty of people are happy to move, the privilege of mobility, to get away from the madness of SF, but will happily vote in similar ways in the next place they set up shop in. And thus the cycle will continue. It can only stop if there is a proper reflection on how and why this state of affairs was allowed to happen, and with changed actions in the future.
To me this still sounds if the original person had known Kimball designs the bad parts might have been avoided since apparently the good stuff was a re-discovery of Kimball methods anyway?
Seems like a pretty poor way to really understand math anyway. If you memorize some formula you may learn how to do a specific problem faster but if you teach kids to understand how the formula was built from first principals, not only can they solve the problem, but they understand how to build the solution from scratch rather than pulling a premade solution from the memory bank.

Memorizing solutions isn't useful anymore. We have google to list out formulas. A deep understanding of problem solving is far more important and something you cant trivially search.

Not sure why this is getting voted down. It's a far-right paper quoting far-right sources only (or at least as far as I could read before uncloseable ads took over my tab).

Along with:

1) I already agreed with this post's ideas to detect echo Chambers, and maybe trigger more content with opposing viewpoints.

2) I disagree with this post to have a strong active signal if that besides just passively not hitting the "like" button.

Or maybe these are awful ideas. But as much as intrusive data collection is part of the problem, as long as people are being fed content based on simplistic algorithms that optimize for anger and fear, we won't get anywhere.

In systems will many millions of pieces of content, random selection won't work. Showing similar content to that already viewed has been less than productive. There has to be some way to have social media and content outlets optimize for something other than $minutes_of_attention.
> I paint realism in oils, mostly still life.

I showed my grandma (98) a photo on an iPad. Her immediate reaction: “there’s no reason to paint realism anymore”. The method described in this article might work for realism in oils, but please don’t accept it as the exclusive way to create art.

Art is about understanding the tools you’re using to create (for example how paint mixes, moves, dries, interacts with a surface), then choosing which tools to use and how to use those tools to convey an experience to an audience. Art is about experimentation, exploration, communication. Art is about studying & talking with other artists to learn how they work, the processes they use, how they solve problems; sometimes copying them and then extending beyond.

My point of view on this developed as I studied art in high school, through AP art, and then minored in fine art in college alongside my engineering degree. Plus many hours painting with my grandma and my mom.
I'm not sure about the numbers but I would guess that the sf evacuation is worse than the rest of the valley. It's just from what I've heard and not sure about how well it holds true for everyone that has left but have heard that people mainly lived there for convenience to be close to work or because they liked having fun at bars and stuff. Bars are tame now and this probably sounds bad but it's become more sketchy with the large homeless population in some areas and some areas are an open restroom and not sure of anyone that wants to live in an area like that. I'm not sure how to properly help the homeless population but the current status quo doesn't seem tenable.
Bad ml systems + automated systems labeling people as extremists and warning their friends about them or deplatforming them… imagine getting flagged and trying to convince people on hn to upvote your blog post that asks for help so a real human at <big Corp> looks into it to fix a false flag.

As an outsider who visits yearly it seems like an opportunity to me. Of course the last time I visited was 2019.

You can compare women doing competitive sports with men doing the same. They will both have an optimized diet and so on.

Perhaps you could get some women to a similar level as men by giving them hormones from an early age (I don't know), but even then I think it would be a stretch to say "see, it is all cultural, we are denying those girls their hormones".
There are a lot of different drills, several of which are listed below but will touch on.

1. Copy something you like. Take a sentence/paragraph/page/scene and just retype it in. This sounds crazy, but pushing the words not only into your brain but back out through your fingers gives your brain a different avenue into them.

2. Object writing. Learned this one from Pat Pattison's writing better lyrics, but most of the techniques are generally applicable. You take an object/idea, and for 5-10 minutes write about it using all 6 senses (the standard five plus motion). The more you do this the more your writing will shift (at least in my experience).

3. Journaling. Morning pages (3 pages at the very start of your day) is a common one for writers, learning to take the filter off and just write. A lot of crap might come out, and you'll just write about the day before or your concerns about the day ahead a lot, but the act of putting the words down will help you shift your writing.

4. This one isn't a drill but I wanted to include it: explore other types of writing. If you are interested in academic writing, try making short stories or poems. Exploring entirely different uses of words will help you build new, because intent shapes the way the brain uses the words, and learning to unlock different pathways can have surprising results.
From Wikipedia:

"The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is an anti-immigration think tank. It favors far lower immigration numbers, and produces analyses to further those views. The CIS was founded by historian Otis L. Graham and eugenicist and white nationalist John Tanton."

Do you have another source? I am not so convinced by this source.
I looked, and found no evidence at all that those two accounts are related.

Be careful not to read too much into specific data points. Randomness plus cognitive bias equals narrative—and making a big rhetorical narrative about it is almost certainly a bad idea.
Overall, I agree with your first two paragraphs (I was letting "and specifically trans people who had hormone therapy through their pubescence" do a lot of work).

> Finally, just because "measurable biological differences" may be mediated/caused by differences in hormone levels, rather than differences in genes, doesn't make them any "less true".

Sure, but my point is that if exogenous hormonal puberty becomes common enough (like, 50% of the population opts in to them), you can end up in a situation where in aggregate there are no measurable differences. You have equal numbers of XX women and XX men, and XY women and XY men. And all the men and all the women have equivalent heights, irrespective of their genes. In such a situation genetics cease to be predictive of height, while gender remains predictive.

I acknowledge that such a situation is unlikely, but it should still cause one to second guess the "biological" nature of the differences.

I think there's another interpretation of what you're saying which is that given two XX-chromosomal people, one who had a male-like puberty and one who had a female-like puberty, they present biological differences. I'm not sure if that stance would be widely accepted, but let's assume for a second its true.

Then I can construct sort of the opposite of the prior situation: a society where a huge number of people transitioned post-puberty, and so now identify as the opposite of the gender they went through puberty as.

If we look at biology, there's a clear mapping from chromosomes to height. If we look at gender, there's no correlation (there are tall men and short men, and tall women and short women, in approximately equal numbers and so you end up with two bimodal distributions). In this situation, we don't really have measurable aggregate biological differences between the men and women.

This is really the point I'm getting at, talking about biological differences between men and women get's very complex very quickly assuming you want to consider trans people. And really complex may be the wrong word, "completely not useful" is perhaps better, because (at least usually) biological categorization comes from genes.

We end up with 3 possible predictors for height: genes, hormonal-gender-at-puberty, and gender-today. Its not clear to me, when talking about biological differences, which of these three predictors we want to use, or even if we want to use biological differences, and we were seemingly assuming we'd use only one of them.
It doesn't matter. As long as they implement the core RV64GC instruction set correctly, standard software will run, and if they implement privileged architecture 1.10 or later correctly then the standard Linux kernel will run.

Vendors are free to use custom extensions to implement the bootloader and SBI. Normal code and even the OS won't see that. They can also use custom extensions in hardware drivers. Even in libc, if they want, though that gives more maintenance work.
Maybe use GraphQL instead of inventing a new query language?
I'm not really clear what your point is.

Sideloading apps on MacOS, Android and ChromeOS all require taking a few additional steps. It's unlikely that most average consumer will ever take these steps, but it is easily doable for those consumers if you follow online instructions (and so some do.)

iOS really is unique in the level of difficulty involved in sideloading apps.
