> It may seem strange to think of a nurse or driver being more useful when contributing 30 hours a week instead of 40, but that’s because we don’t appreciate the potential range of their decision making quality, error rate, and so on.

Improved decision making quality or not, wards with a nurse on call still need 20% more nurses. And there's absolutely no way a driver is delivering 20% more stuff in four 8 hour days to make up for being absent for the fifth. And most of the "place needs a person to be on call for this shift" type jobs are the hardest to automate
> "lambda f:" gives away very little information about what is about to happen. "if f:" gives away some information about what is about to happen.

I think that's an unfair comparison:

If 'the thing that happens' for "if f:" is 'branch on the truthyness of f', then I agree that's pretty clear. However, if we're going to ignore the content of the branches then we should also ignore the body of the function, so "lambda f:" is also pretty clear: 'parameterise with f'.

If we're worried that "lambda f:" could do pretty much anything in the body, then we should also worry that "if f:" can do pretty much anything in the branches.
Great idea for business promotion.

Yes, it sounds like she is misunderstanding it in this case. "One-woman show" doesn't imply that it's just a facade, fake project (which she seems to take from "show"), it's just an idiom to say it's something that one person does (not a team).

Urs wasn't behind Google+. He may have supported it strongly, I don't remember, but G+ was a Larry&Sergey thing. They became obsessed with the idea that Facebook would beat them at everything because social was magic unicorn dust.

Urs missed Cloud

He didn't merely miss it but actively rejected it. I remember pushing for Borg to be turned into a product when I was there. The stock line (which I think came from Urs) was that Google's opportunity cost from renting out its hardware was so huge that it'd never make sense to do so, because ads was a superior business model to anything else and machine demand was infinite.
It took us 6 months to vaccinate 400-500 mil. people in industrial nations with the best logistics systems on the planet.

We won't even be able to vaccinate the rest with basic doses for 7 years at a minimum at this rate.

Alternatively, we produce cheap prophylactic drugs in industrial quantities and flood the battlefield.

I suggest taking Wednesday off. It is a bit strange, but I liked it.

Very little prep was needed, everyone (including clients) could accommodate rescheduling meetings and deadlines earlier or later by 1 day.

I think 3 day weekends do cause a problem, it can be too long to wait for something, especially if it comes up the morning of the first day. However, we are accustomed to 2 days over a weekend, and 1 day is no big deal. While it is nice getting away for 3 days, the first day back is never very productive. Part of the day is just getting up my mind back into what I was working on and catching up on what I missed.

Working 2 days feels like a super short week so it forced me to focus to make them productive, but it also tempered my habit of taking on too much. Wednesday completely feels like a Saturday, but businesses are open (well some of them with COVID). Thursday morning was a disappointment, in my mind it was Sunday. The disappointment is short though, I only had 2 more days until the weekend!

I never would have tried this, but my employer gives us a day off for our birthday that I normally use on a Monday or Friday to make into a long weekend. Due to COVID, I took it on the Wednesday it actually landed on. I would have never thought to try this otherwise. Give it a shot sometime.

Benefits: Videos where a person pisses on the Quran or desecrates the statue of a Hindu god, can be removed. Left alone it might cause a riot where dozens would die, and a lot of private (and public) property would be destroyed. The details of the uploader would be shared with law enforcement.

This course of action is primitive in western countries, but understandable in a country where the police to population ratio is around 100 times lower than in the west and only 2% of the working age population pays any taxes.

Self regulation as a course of action is a failure. Companies who want to “grow fast and break stuff” don’t care about riots in a country like India.

Dangers: Indians’ free speech will get trampled. Parties in power will enforce the law in a biased manner as they always have done.

This trade off is acceptable since western companies operating outside their home country only care about profit and don’t operate with any social conscience. It would be utterly foolish to outsource the fight for our rights to them. It is more preferable to have these companies operate within the boundaries of Indian law, no matter what they are.
Do you really think startups could pioneer anything that promotes working less ? Startups are the worse companies on the topic of reducing working time, they even tried all the hacks to squeeze the more hours they can from their employees : free lunch at the office, free childcare, concierge services ...
Yeah, that's it.

Having worked as a researcher all my life in academia and the industry, I can only support Sci-Hub. Publishing as it works currently is an incredibly time consuming and expensive process funneling tremendous amounts of tax money into the pocḱets of publishers.

To some extent the whole situation reminds me of the video and music content piracy era in the early 2000s. I hope there will be an equivalent of Apple Music/Spotify/Netflix for scientific papers in the near future.
Yes but dynamic linking causes unexpected changes at runtime of the program. Undefined behavior often happens at runtime, so an update of a library can cause undefined behavior in your application. The only way a sufficiently skilled developer can avoid undefined behavior is by checking for undefined behavior at runtime. We are now back to the reason why undefined behavior exists: because we wanted to avoid runtime checking.

The idea that you can just stop writing code with undefined behavior is absurd.
Well, our teacher taught us that we live in the world "Beyond the Reach of God" so we'd better be aware of what the stakes are. ;)

With that said, my optimism about alignment was slightly increased lately given the research about prosaic stuff. Also, all key members of EAI are very alignment-pilled and will probably focus on that part much more in the future especially if scaling continues unabated.
I had no idea what it was, but reading the first few paragraphs makes it quite obvious.
Pfizer actually manufactures only half of the third step in the process it acquired when it bought BioNTech. Everything before is actually made by only three subcontractors of BioNTech in 3 factories in Switzerland, Germany and Belgium (which does the other half of the step). They are already working at well over originally planned maximum capacity for these plants.

And that's for the original 2 doses only. Pfizer is supposed to have manufacturing capacity open sometimes later this year...

Where they are gonna manufacture the booster ? Good question. So yeah, you can say it's not gonna be that fast.

Yea, no. It's kind of funny that the image of the world is centered at North America. That's how I feel about Google (and a lot of other big tech) hiring practices.

I'm not saying you can't work for Google from the UK, Germany, India, or other places, but it gets a lot harder.

If that's the case, my suspicion is this may continue happening until a 'Netflix of scientific papers' appears. Even with Sci-Hub down it's likely someone else will replicate it.
> everything Apple has been marketing spin for decades.

After using Android since around 2010 getting a midrange iPhone around 18 or so months ago was almost a revelation for me, so no, it is clearly not all marketing spin.

(Why? Even on a Note II or S7 Edge something as trivial as opening the camera would have me waiting. On my iPhone XR pressing the camera button brings up the camera more or less instantaneously. And there are also a number of small conveniences that are hard to really pinpoint like actually understanding when it is in my pocket and then not turn on and burn out my battery.)

One of the harder things for beginners to grasp when learning a second or third programming language is that language is not just syntax. You see it all the time in Python in particular: people writing code like it's C or Java. It's no different to grabbing a French dictionary and transliterating your English sentence to French word by word. It just doesn't work and, in some cases, is completely wrong. Grokking a language means so much more than knowing the key words for doing all the stuff you used to do in your old language.

This is why I mostly recommend a Russian VPN or one in a foreign country. Sure, your data might end up in the hands of Putins mobsters. Do you think they will share the data with your government? Unlikely...

And even if a VPN company isn't compromised, there are so many legal loopholes that would allow government to access your data. Kitten on a tree can quickly become a matter of national security.
It's not so much "lines" that are a problem; it's that lambdas cannot contain any statements.

For example, here's a multi-line lambda, containing only expressions:

>>> lambda f, pred, xs: [
... f(x) for ys in xs
... for x in ys
... if pred(x)
... ]
<function <lambda> at 0x1113e80d0>

Here's a one-line lambda, attempting to use a statement:

>>> lambda x: (x += 1)
File "<stdin>", line 1
lambda x: (x += 1)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Note that the parentheses are to avoid parsing a '+=' expression with 'lambda x: x' on the left and '1' on the right:

>>> lambda x: x += 1
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: cannot assign to lambda

This restriction is problematic because of the following combination:

- Python statements don't compose as well as expressions; we can write one statement followed by another, and we can nest statements (or blocks) inside control statements (if, else, with, etc.), but that's about it. We can't assign statements to variables, we can't call a function on a statement, or return a statement from a function, etc. i.e. we can't abstract over statements (unless we try wrapping them in a named function and using that as an expression, but that can break the underlying functionality of the statement, e.g. 'def ifThenElse(cond, true, false):' will evaluate both branches when called).

- Python uses statements for a whole bunch of stuff. In particular it has a 'with foo as bar: baz' statement, rather than e.g. a 'with(foo, lambda bar: baz)' expression; the recent pattern matching functionality is a statement rather than an expresssion; defining a named function is a statement; etc.

Taken together, we can often find ourselves needing to introduce a statement somewhere in our code; that requires us to turn a 'lambda' into a 'def'; but 'def' is a statement, so we have to turn any enclosing expression into a statement too; and this propagates up to disintegrate whatever expression we had; leaving us with a big pile of statements, full of boilerplate for managing scopes and names.
Unlikely. Remember that birds are dinosaurs... they spent a significant portion of their evolution at a time when there was a lot more CO2 in the atmosphere. Bird's lungs are much more efficient than mammalian lungs, which is why some birds can fly up to altitudes at which humans would lose consciousness if they weren't in a pressurized airplane cabin! With that and their mobility, birds (at least a few species) are good candidates for surviving the 6th great extinction... given that some are also very intelligent, maybe dinos will get another shot at inheriting the earth after all! ;-)

Algo for teachers affected by cheating:

1) make questions brutal and unique (compared to previous year or current groups) if possible

2) make everything open-book

3) set a tough time limit

4) curve the results to a desired grade distribution (that is often imposed from above anyway)

5) use software that can the catch most obvious frauds (i.e. 360 degree room scanning, ban use of phones/second computers etc.)

6) if the exam requires algos, use software analyzing AST of the code produced to catch possible "cooperation", then decide on those cases individually (i.e. if an algo is common, then there is a high chance of very similar AST for non-cooperating people, but if it's unique, the chance is low)

Exactly. How do these caches behave when python is used as a webservice in a multi-process multi-thread setting.

What if we have multiple containers running the same service and load balanced using an ingress controller?

Local Caches are a headache in such a scenario.

Best pattern I have read is use a cache as a sidecar in a pod. I feel that scales very well.

This Bot Crime Did Not Occur
I hope StyleGAN isn't too tiresome here by now. This is a Twitter bot I put together in the last couple days. The model still needs to train longer, as it hasn't converged, but I might not finish it so I figured I'd put up what I have so far.

The GAN is trained on a database of mugshots. The captions are a mix of curated completions from GPT-J, variations written by myself, and jokes written entirely by myself; all arranged in a phrasal template. The bot is meant to make you chuckle slightly while drawing attention to 1) the ethical and privacy issues inherent in such datasets; and 2) the obscene number of human beings packed into cages by the racist US "justice" system.

While it certainly has room for improvement, I hope this is an acceptable first post here and that someone finds something of value in the project. I fully expect this to sink into obscurity, but in case it doesn't, feel free to criticize me, ask questions, etc.

> I feel similarly strongly about my dominion over my own computing devices

Same here. If I ever need to take remote exams like described I'll get a cheap laptop, or something like a Pi attached to a TV/monitor, and take the exam on that. They can have me install anything they like, it will be on a guest wireless network that can't cross to the rest of the local network, will be freshly installed with an account that is not one of my primaries, and will be wiped down when the exams are done. In fact I have an old slow laptop that would do, assuming it still works.

Of course, not everyone has the luxury of being financially and technically able to do that.

I'm the same with work. If work wants specific control on the devices I use, then they need to provide devices instead of taking control of my personal ones. I did install the comms software on an old phone in 2020 but if the ability to remote-wipe this granted is ever used (accidentally or purposefully) I'll lose nothing but my "get up for work" alarm as that is the only other thing on the device. If I work from home it is via RDC over VPN to my machine at the office - if there becomes a requirement for more control of the machine I'm VPN+RDCing from then either they provide a machine they control or I stop being able to work out of hours (not a problem for me!) or work from home should that be convenient/required (which isn't often, other than during lockdowns over the last 18 months).

I don't have an adversarial relationship with work (which might be implied by the above paragraph), at least not as far as I can tell, but I find it better for my mental health (and my work, I think, though that is the secondary concern from my PoV) to silo my work and personal life somewhat. I can see a day when extra requirements will turn up, as we work with clients in strongly regulated industries and many of them are actively tightening their internal controls and making increasing demands on their suppliers (including us) to do the same.

> and the boundaries placed on their intrusion into my environment.

That you can do less about in many cases, though again I'd have options. I only have a two-bedroom flat, but the little bedroom is used as a training room, so I could setup a chair and something as a desk in there. All they'll see in the tour of the room is the treadmill, weights, mats, and related bits & bobs.

Again, many do not have the luxury of this option.

It looks like it's more of an air "cooler" than an air conditioner. It probably works somewhat depending on the climate, but air conditioning actively cools the air (it produces colder air than the exterior air temperature) and reduces humidity.
And usually has positive connotations.

Most of the time you use the "one-woman show" idiom is when you are impressed that one person does this by themselves.

I don't believe “e-proctoring” companies are capable of it, either. I got disqualified from an exam for five `onblur` events (while my screen was being recorded), and it kept counting while the “DO NOT CHEAT” lockout message was displayed; if that's “works reasonably” then I don't know what isn't.
Most popular languages offer similar operations on collections these days. I've been using Java, Scala, JS/TS, purescript, Ruby, C++, Rust in the past, and these days all have a similar offering to iterate over collections using idiomatic functions such as map/filter/sort/etc.

I'm working on some python these days and I find quite unpleasant the 1-line lambdas, and general messy options to implement common collections operations.
