Neat tool, but needs context.

I'm getting a lot of suggestions that make no sense. What's worse, the suggest code has invalid types, and won't compile. I'm surprised they didn't prune the solution tree via compiler validation.
My inbox a good place for me to learn about the existence of a new issue of something, but a poor place to actually read said issues, to keep track of what I've read, and manage a 'library'. I want e-reader-like features:

- save my place
- highlighting
- annotations

Should these features be added to Gmail? I trow not. Better to have these newsletter issues converted to some appropriate format and sent to my library, along with my ebooks and saved web pages.

Heh.
I set up a newsletters email folder with automatic filtering. When I feel like reading newsletters, I go there. Otherwise, I don’t see them. Sort of the same behavior loop of opening up my RSS feed (which, incidentally, is how I’m seeing this post).

> which makes it more likely that they're hiding the lab leak, which makes it more likely that the lab leak theory is true.

Geezus Christ, just as I'm talking about scientific thinking and lack of it. No and no! It's possible, but they're not more likely!

Why they don't want Western investigators free reign investigating the lab? Imagine if the WHO asked the US to let in Chinese investigators in their virology labs. Maybe they're hiding bio-weapons research, or cancer research that they want bragging rights for, but it doesn't automatically mean there's the "Covid smoking gun" being hidden there. It's possible, but them being cagey doesn't make it more possible.

I'm learning German at the moment. Everything is gendered. Such a strange way of looking at the world.

And the unfortunate "das Mädchen" [0] - the German word for "young woman" is neutral gender (because it's a compound noun and the "-chen" suffix is neutral). I wonder how that affects German society when all young women are objects. Does this de-emphasise their femininity, or increase their "sexual object"-ness?

I find that with most newsletters I don't really care about what's new or has changed. It's only when I actually need to use X product or do Y thing that I like to know what's new. This makes RSS nice since I can go weeks and then when I need to work on something using a tool I can check the news for that item.

It depends, of course. Some things I appreciate having it sent daily, others I really don't. There isn't a one size fits all solution and that's not a bad thing.
Doesn't seem like you have any idea what "hierarchy" means.
The numbers currently vary widely. Other sources speak about 150.000km (≈ 93.000 mi) which would result in 16% reduction of emissions compared to diesel and 24% compared to petrol. It depends how the life-cycle of the car is calculated too and there are still some unknowns. This also presumes the electricity comes from renewable sources and this is also restricted to carbon emissions.

Whatever the real number might be, large scale adaptation and longevity of cars is necessary to make it a good deal for emissions.

> The Oxford dictionary defines it as "a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory." So, they also include physical proximity.

Dictionaries, Oxford or otherwise, gives definitions of words in colloquial uses as well. According to OED, "literally" now also means "figuratively":

> 3. (informal) used to emphasize a word or phrase, even if it is not actually true in a literal sense

* https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...

The day-to-day use of a word may be looser than that used by experts' use in a particular field. The use of the word "hacker" or "hack" in the general public may have a different meaning/connotation/history than to people on HN.
That's what I thought; you were merely pointing out the existence of paramilitary groups on the loyalist side, in addition to the more familiar (to those in the US) IRA.

Guess the comment strife is to be expected.
a markov chain can have an internal representation related to the intention of the user. I guess this example just got copied a lot and is therefore included multiple times in the training data, forcing the network to memorise it. Neural networks always memorise things that appear too frequent. Memorized Artifacts in an otherwise working neural network is usually seen as a "bug" (since the training allowed the network to cheat), not as a proof that the network didn't generalise.
True. Underrepresentation should be something addressed at a higher level.

Anytime an organization treats one group of people differently it creates at least two problems: others in the organization resent the preferential treatment and more importantly the targeted group does not get proper credit for their accomplishments, since they and others feel like their accomplishments were due to the advantages conferred to them by the organization.
Doctors Are Puzzled by Heart Inflammation in the Young and Vaccinated
Note that for engines the EPA has been cracking down on all the mods that bypass software emission controls. The fines (though rare from what I know) have been large to small scale people selling such things. You can probably still make/mod your own engine by yourself, but if you sell and engine mod software you better meet emissions - I suspect that they will crack down on "free" open source mods as well which will kill collaboration (unless those involved are extremely careful to meet emission standards).

The FCC hasn't cracked down - yet. As other have pointed out that is probably because they don't see a widespread problem and so the politics aren't worth it. I'm sure someone reading this is involved with radio, I hope they take the warning (I believe their response will be a form of we already know)
Phew! Are jobs are safe!
This isn't about how everyone feels but about how the group that this is supposed to represent and name feels about it. It's like someone decided that your name is now Alice. You had no say in it and you don't like the name but you're now Alice. You had a name you called yourself but they didn't care and now you're Alice.
It's recycled nazi propaganda:

"Cultural Bolshevism (German: Kulturbolschewismus), sometimes referred to specifically as art Bolshevism, music Bolshevism or sexual Bolshevism, was a term widely used by Nazi German-sponsored critics to denounce modernist and progressive movements in the culture... Cultural Marxism is a contemporary variant of the term which is used to refer to the far-right antisemitic Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory. This variant of the term was used by far-right terrorist Anders Breivik in the introductory chapter of his manifesto."

I don't watch Rachel Maddow but I certainly wouldn't trust her opinion (being a TV news personality) on such important topics as COVID where she (and every other news personality) has zero qualifications.

Can you share the link to her testimony?
Yup, nobody wants those emails. Unfortunately sales people and marketers are excellent liars and they convince higher ups that it's worthwhile.
I don't think its cultural appropriation. It's not like people saying that are adapting features from latin people and adding it to their own culture. In fact, it is sort of the opposite. It is people forcing the latin culture into their own framework. Not sure how to term that, but not at all cultural appropriation.
Worked for a money center bank. They have strict regulations on what brokerages employees can use in an effort to stop insider trading.
So, in terms of intellectual thought, there was a strain of thought referred to as the Frankfurt School that discussed a thing they called 'cultural Marxism'. Some of that discussion was about what we'd now think of as PR/propaganda - promoting socialist/Marxist thought.

In terms of right wing PR/propaganda, it is another example of them following a specific playbook to redefine a term to mean what they want it to mean. 'Critical Race Theory' is the current example of this; 'political correctness' was another. Remember when they were shouting about Saul Alinsky? Well, that was because the playbook is largely derived from his writings - specifically, the tactic described as 'Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.'

So there you are. Depending on your politics, it was a strain of Marxist intellectual thought in the 1930s, or just another cudgel in the culture wars.
Its not really new. They had versions of these since the 1950s. They didn't sell very well though and never made it to mass production. Maybe this one will catch on.

> How would all the companies collude to collectively bring in more marginalized people?

Supporting pipeline programs (middle and high school education, summer programs, internship programs, bootcamps and other career-change programs, etc.) seems to be the obvious paths for companies to exert lasting positive influence on the industry and world.

Sure, there's some fringe backlash when some company supports a program that is targeted at underrepresented groups, but I think that's the way to create lasting change.

Unfortunately, it doesn't move the needle on D&I OKRs this quarter or next. Poaching from someone else is the fastest way to move a key result metric.

It's very common for journals to ask for reviewer suggestions. For example I guess this is the journal in question:

https://www.mdpi.com/journal/vaccines/instructions

"Reviewer Suggestions

During the submission process, please suggest three potential reviewers with the appropriate expertise to review the manuscript. The editors will not necessarily approach these referees. Please provide detailed contact information (address, homepage, phone, e-mail address). The proposed referees should neither be current collaborators of the co-authors nor have published with any of the co-authors of the manuscript within the last five years. Proposed reviewers should be from different institutions to the authors. You may identify appropriate Editorial Board members of the journal as potential reviewers. You may suggest reviewers from among the authors that you frequently cite in your paper."

Obviously people are supposed to do so ethically, but cabals of friends can potentially hack the process by suggesting each other and working together.
The emails in your inbox are primarily coming from Google/MS servers.
Way better. It's susceptible to copyright trolling.

Put up repos with snippets for things people might commonly write. Preferably use javascript so you can easily "prove" it. Write a crawler that crawls and parses JS files to search for matching stuff in the AST. Now go full patent troll, eh, i mean copyright troll.

My personal email is on a .xyz domain and I used to use Gandi webmail as it was free with the domain name.

When I was finding a new job last year, every time sent recruiters an email with my resume (attached as a pdf), I had to ring them afterwards to check if they had actually received it.

I ended up switching to Google Workspace, just so that my emails actually had a chance of not landing in the recipients spam folder.
OK. (on a side note this is "Inbox bundles" solved elegantly in Google Inbox RIP)

Anyway - I too have an overflowing inbox. I used to aim for Inbox zero but slipped and am living with it.

One discipline I do maintain though is that the Inbox should always be actionable. It's my todo list.

So - how do I handle non-actionable, non-urgent stuff?

1. If it will be urgent and actionable I snooze it.
2. If it's of interest but not urgent and has a web representation then I open a browser tab for later.

Newsletters nearly always fall into category 2. Unless I can just skim them for interesting links and archive them.

And a lot of the time I unsubscribe - as soon as I realise I don't really want to read it. I get most of my news from HN or various subreddits.

I think there's about 3 or 4 regular newsletters I tolerate. And I'm more tolerant of infrequent emails (new features for products I'm interested in etc)
Do you mean that from your perspective the language there is skewed toward painting the left as a violent group, or that the language there is skewed in support of the left?

This is a bit of a false dichotomy. A choice can be made to remove something, seen to be, having a negative impact on people without having to remove everything that is seen to have such an impact. One step in the right direction is still a step in the right direction.

Wellp, guess who's not distributing their game through the Play Store. It's open source but I thought I might put it on Play for a nominal price and invite those who want it free to compile it themselves. But now? It'll be F-Droid only for me.
Offensive code is the least of my worries. What about vulnerable/exploitable code?
I think it's a conflict with the sandbox, like it https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1698778.
Isn't it entirely possible that they did exclude GPL licensed code, but somebody somewhere has violated copyright and copy-pasted that snippet into non-GPL-licensed code that they trained on?

They could try to trace every single code snippet they train on to its "true source" and use the license for that, but that's not very well-defined, and is a lot harder, and it's never going to be 100%.
Interesting project, maybe you need a captcha to display and weed out bots before you actually send an email.
Where'd you come up with that definition? MTJ's Twitter?
I don't mind, although I don't get a lot of email. Maybe like 10 a day, and most of that is just receipts/invoices/confirmations which can be immediately archived.

So in fact my inbox is usually about 90% newsletters that I haven't read yet.
> now it’s one of the leading theories

I think the consensus is yet to move on this one. In a recent text I saw by someone who was trying to channel the majority opinion of the scientific community, they were calling it the less likely possibility, or something to that effect. I believe it's only in the public opinion that it became one of the leading theories, because the media suddenly decided that it was going to allow people to talk about it, and Jon Stewart went on Stephen Colbert...

Unpopular opinion…

Could it be that women (in general) want something more in life than working in a big company for a nice wage?

Study after study after study show that women want families and other things other than the standard mega corporation employment that society has trained us to expect.

I’d bet if one looked at the numbers one would see that women as a whole are leaving google and other companies just as much as black women.

And it’s not about google. It’s just about people wanting something different that working in a mega corporation.
What is White+? Maybe Google’s editors add pluses to all ethnic categories?
I went and stared at the pictures for a bit after reading this.

Not much experience of art really, but I think you're probably right. They're all interesting pictures - but "let's assemble some related elements in a new combination".

I did really like “a face like an M.C. Escher drawing” though.

Maybe this is the final form of postmodernism? "There's no meaning here, but will you ever figure that out?"
Well, in France for instance, this ICU specialist says that 3 patients out of 8 he saw going through the ICU are classified as covid patients because they tested positive but are not in ICU for Covid [1, around 18min into the video]. Now this is one ICU, and not all deaths occur in ICUs, so I wouldn't extrapolate it to national numbers. But it certainly makes me think that covid deaths are over-estimated.

Note that WebRender obsoletes Layers, so you shouldn't need to set that.
The argument about size savings is pretty weak too. Any developer who has an app with large native libraries has already been splitting it by CPU architecture since forever. The screen resolution isn't much relevant at all because who even uses bitmap graphics any more when there's VectorDrawable? The strings do take up space, and I was told that the resources.arsc file where they reside isn't compressed in an apk because that would result in Android having trouble reading it, but its size is still usually negligible compared to the rest of the apk.
This is very interesting, I would love to play around with this.

However, it looks like the quality of the result really depends on the prompt, or in other words, on the quality of the training dataset captions.

Would there be a way to "fine-tune" the network on a smaller, better-captioned dataset to have better control over the output?

Can I make my own dataset and use it with few-shots learning to expand the capabilities of existing networks? Making it better at generating say, spaceships or fantasy animals?

Both creators and influencers create content, and both creators and influencers have influence. But they are completely different things.

If you make a sculpture then you're a creator, if you share a picture of yourself in front of that sculpture then you're an influencer.

Influencer content is defined by being both persona-based and touristy, and is about establishing connections between a person and things or experiences made by other people.

My understanding of historical linguistics is that gendering in Indo-European languages has its roots in animate vs inanimate objects, with a feminine category splitting later on from the animate category (possibly as a way to distinguish singular from collective initially, before being retrofitted to « female » things later on).

Add on nouns shifting meaning over time and you've got a relationship between grammar and sex that is extremely loose. I'd take any notion that it « influences attitude » with extreme carefulness.
You have cheated by adding that comment noise.

I think you've really pointed out the paradox which I was trying to get at in a nice way. The paradox is resolved when you understand that those who don't like welfare, at least how it is now, don't think "greed is good" but rather think that certain economic systems are good because they turn greed into something that, allegedly, helps the public good (simultaneously wanting to lower taxation across the board to achieve the same goal).

In support of the left, definitely. I saw a section on immigration, which I would think aligns closely with what Democrats are preaching.
You've quickly become judgemental — which suggests that your question was not really honest, but rather argumentative, looking for support of your position — just saying how it appears! ;-)

People do a lot of things I consider "romantic": fighting for freedom, fairness, human rights... They only benefit them in the long run, and many not even benefit from them directly. I've done my share as well.

It's the same with kids. You asked about reasons to decide to have them, not about what I am getting out of it (you were very explicit in responses to others about how you didn't care about how they decided on "when", for example).

I fully expected that I will develop relationship with my kids that will overcome everything, and so far I have! Which is why I was willing to dive into the huge time, money and effort investment after the initial reasons! But it was not the reason to have them.

You are perfectly allowed to spend the same effort on building relationship with others, and it might or might not (I have no idea) get you the same satisfaction I get from interacting with my kids.
And the first, relatively mild warnings on cigarette packages probably didn't convince many to quit, nor did posting calorie counts on fast food menus make everyone switch to salads. But hopefully it's the start of a drumbeat where this type of content becomes less and less acceptable in society.

It's not the perfect analogy of course, but I think the solution to divisive, negative, nasty online content is largely a social one not a technological one.

Summarizing what you said (without agreeing) to see if I understood your point correctly.

Marxism is the idea of needing class struggle for progress. Cultural Marxism is transposing that from class to culture / ethnicity. Essentially moving the dialectic from worker / captialist to privileged race / non-priviliged race?

And the idea is that this is done, not to engender gradual change, but to engender revolutionary change?
