I thought it was less about skillset than that implies.

If you structure society so that the kids of aristocrats are the only ones that have degrees in basketweaving, then you can say "to get this prestigious job you need a degree in basketweaving" and it all kind of works (for the aristocrats).

Non-aristocrats then do what they've been told will lead them into the elite, and at first a few might make it in. So it all seems to be working for everyone except those too ”stupid" (i.e. poor) to pay their way through 20 years of education in basketweaving. Meritocracy in action.

But as it progresses, and more and more people follow the path things go wrong. Not because there's a limit to the number of basketweaving professionals needed, but a limit to the number of people who can be elite in the society, and that piece of paper used to be the limiting factor (previously acting as a proxy for "are you already connected to the elite")

Unfortunately for Discovery, they fucked up 3 seasons in a row. They almost made Season 3 work, then threw away everything in the last episode. I, for one, am done giving that show chances.
The place where the sand/gold analogy breaks down is that the goalposts are constantly shifting due to competition.

If I've hired the best person in the world, and they're the best out of 100,000 candidates, then if someone else also wants to find the best person in the world, they'll need to be better than the current best person in the world. It may take 200,000 candidates to find that person. To keep finding someone better than the current best person in the world, you constantly need to increase the amount of sand.

To find the new best person in the world, you'll produce geniuses who are as good as the old best person in the world, but they're no longer good enough to be the NEW best person in the world.

So yes, we're overproducing on gold, but now we're looking for something even better than gold.

women = adult females

bored 1970s housewives = bored adult females in the 1970s who have forgone a professional occupation to be a homemaker

They used the latter because it's far more descriptive, and these facts are relevant to the article.

Hi,
I don't see it as a challenge. Current machine have 0.025mm resolution at the outer edge of the table(260mm diameter).
I think it is possible to build a 400mm diameter table with stepper motor. Any bigger table would require a slow operation or a high speed servo motor to get enough precision and speed. It is still not impossible.
With a good servo motor you can have 2000mm diameter and good enough rpm.
"It's not a contradiction, if each successive generation is more terrible than the one that came beforehand."

If ancient Mesopotamians were the pinnacle of civilisation, and we were degrading for a hundred generations, we ought to be living in caves by now. It would be measurable in wealth, IQ, rates of murder, crime, literacy, etc.

Every statistics avaliable indicates that we used to be more ignorant, more violent and less literate. So this complain belong in the same box as:

"back when I was young we used to talk to school 12 miles, through a blizzard, uphill, both ways!"
If the water goes below freezing temperatures, it will tend to freeze and turn white. If the hot tropics are currently pulling warm water up towards the Arctic via the AMOC, the average water temperature of the Arctic is increased. If that pattern were to decrease, you would get colder Arctic water that tends to freeze more easily.

A lot of ocean water is already covered by something else with albedo: clouds. Particularly in the poles, clouds tend to form very easily.

Reduced AMOC circulation is associated with dramatic effects in the past for Earth's climate.

"The Little Ice Age was one of the coldest periods of the last ~10,000 years in the Northern-Hemisphere. Although there is increasing evidence that this cooling was associated with a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the sequence of events that led to a significant reduction in deep convection has yet to be explained."

By the same logic, XBOX and the OS that runs it should be separate, and the PlayStation and the OS that runs on that should also be split into separate legal entities.

But that really makes no sense either.
That's a problem with how we think about demand, isn't it?

If society needs some serious phlogiston research because of existential threats, but refuses to fund phlogiston research, can you say phlogiston research is in high demand?
I would call the thing we're actually talking about, a machine set up and administered by humans and applied by humans, something that involves human agency.

"Racist" is a perfectly applicable word for its effects when applied by the humans applying it.

Some unrelated hypothetical about things not involving human agency is irrelevant to the question, and is functionally just another attempted deflection.
What a nice project. How I missed that :)
In the UK we are fairly obese and we don't grow corn, we don't have HFCS subsidies, and we don't have have HFCS in everything either - eg coca cola is just plain old sugar here. So I doubt that the US getting rid of corn subsidies will make any difference to obesity - some other sugar would be used instead, sugar cane or sugar beet.
Similar story in the UK, "Freelance Programmers" was created with the primary workforce of mothers with a technical background.

The creator of the company, (now Dame) Stephanie Shirley, wrote about it in her memoirs "Let it Go", which I can recommend.

They eventually had to hire men, due to equality legislation. The attraction for women, however, was that they could work from home. Seems we have come full circle.
Thanks. It was on my scope.
A very important implementation detail if you are digging into the kernel due to performance problems like in the OP.

But yes, in the naive user perspective case the contract hasn't been violated.
The presumption of ML is that compressions of X are representations of Y. This is just false.

The compression of X, ie., f, isnt a representation of Y. Its an estimator of the value of Y within some domain of X,Y.

For it to be f to be a representation of Y, it needs to be able to stand-in for Y (at least). And compressions of X cannot. They lack, eg., the right counterfactual behaviour.

ie., A representation of a cat enables computing things about a cat in imaginative scenarios, eg., in a video game simulation. Compressions of pixels of cats do not.
Never going back to the office? Facebook has an app for that
The rhetorical trick here is the assumed definitions of "society" and "demand".

Is there enormous "demand" for eg useless plastic garbage or non-nutritive fast food, or is that the choice-of-least-resistance offered to and taken by millions who lack the resources to consistently "choose" more "wisely", and lack the voice or knowledge to demand better choices? Or, why is food optimized for looks and uniformity rather than nutritive value?

Does "society" choose how to allocate resources, or are there a handful of insanely powerful people whose hands rest lightly on an incredible variety of policy levers that they'll never move for personal financial reasons? Or, why is Australia so intent on coal production?
The title is literal, according to TFA the reason they started the company because they were bored with being housewives.

>”I cannot stand being at home,” said Lore in a 1983 New York Times article. ”It drives me insane. Everybody thought I was strange because I would not go to the bridge club or have my fingernails done.”

>Lore Harp met a kindred spirit in the form of a neighbor, Carole Ely, whose kids shared classes with the Harp children. Like Lore, she found the life of a homemaker wanting. “We were bored doing the housewife thing,” recalls Ely today. “I was ready to be something.” Just a few years prior, Ely had worked for large investment firms such as Merrill Lynch on the east coast, and she was itching to get back to business.
Kurtzman is a hack fraud but even if he wasn't attached to it there's basically no way TNG-era Trek was going to get made today. It was a product of its time. That said, Roddenberry gets too much credit compared to people like Dorothy Fontana and Rick Berman who had a huge hand in what we think about when we get nostalgic about Star Trek.
Toyota cuts Sept. production by 40% due chip crunch
Hah, I hadn't realized there was a dedicated browser extension for this. I've been using the Redirect plugin for Firefox to regex-rewrite the URLs - because obviously, the machine translated documentation is useless at best (and harmful at worst).

Indeed ridiculously annoying though. For some reason, Google also started to show the titles of English-language YouTube videos in machine translated German for me, usually completely garbling the meaning - and the video is in English anyway! It's not like I could watch it if I didn't already understand the original title!

Who would have thought that managers in primarily monolingual cultures (i.e. the US) don't understand the actual needs of an international, polyglot audience? The techbro-ism behind these decisions is palatable. "That's a technological solution to what I, without actually asking any of the people affected, imagine to be a problem, so it must be good, right? I mean, it has ML?"
I'd agree with that. Once you get past the Seth MacFarlane "humor"[0] it is obvious that they have a better understanding of what people liked about Star Trek than the Abrams movies, Discovery, or even Picard.

Not relevant in this case, but for low margin physical goods the math can be much worse. You're out the cost of the good, the taxes and fees associated, the margin, and the chargeback fee. For food delivery middlemen, for example, it's a really rough game

The non-white foreigner and attendant social status thing is hopelessly confounded with the "developing countries have extremely corrupt academia" thing. Outside of certain edge cases, it doesn't matter in the West that you have a Ph.D. and some papers if you got them in e.g. China or India. Read a little about those systems: exam results are routinely bought and sold, papers fabricated, whole journals completely made-up.

Same here! I love sci fi, but I don't like most fantasy. They are very different genres. Never been sure why they get lumped together.
Websites are generally designed such that GET requests are side-effect free, and POST requests do have side effects. So for example searching on google is a GET request. It doesn't do anything other than serve the requested page. Logging in on the other hand has the side effect of setting cookies and probably writing some stuff to the database, so that's a POST request.

These assumptions are so baked into web software that while assuming a GET request won't do anything zany or overly stateful is probably fine, assuming the same for a POST request should probably be considered negligent.
Forgotten? We used to huff that stuff all the time as teenagers.
The expression in "For scientists" should be 1-0.92^3, not 1-(1-0.92)^3
The set of possible models may be regarded as infinite. However, selection of model may fail to account for biases and prejudice that may not even be present in the data at all. Indirectly, the bias might be from the researchers themselves, ignorance or some silly thing like chance. When talking about hypothetical models, flaws probably lingers in any part of the chain. If not accounted for, you'd indeed expect biases, a need to clear the most obvious ones and adhering to laws and rules.

First thing is to eradicate the poorly-defined word "racism", and find a more fitting term regarding the flaw in question: unfairness, discrimination, prejudice, bias, etc., and then make it concrete.

Ie. instead of "structural racism", we could instead use the term "structural discrimination", to be more clear about what we're talking about.

It is also more neutral to view these flaws as bugs. That only becomes more important as algorithms gain more power over people's lives.

The sinister part of such algorithmic rules is the tolerance of a silent majority, benefitting unfairly from the outcomes.
Lot of countries are created by ruling minorities, and then their rulers are overthrown. Just look at the history of almost every country in western world.

Yes you can configure Traefik with other issuers, but it does not support having multiple configured at the same time and failing over between them in case something goes wrong. That's the point being made in the article. Caddy does this.
awesome!

any recommendations on papers / tutorials here, + any libs, esp. scalable?

For context, we have been looking at rgcn and transfer gns for handling identity graphs and event hypergraphs (= big & dynamic heterogeneous property graphs), esp for node classification and edge prediction, and with libs that handle multi-gpu w bigger-than-memory processing. Something like pattern mining / motif mining would also be interesting, which I'm guessing your approach may open up as well :)
1. That’s not what you wrote in the comment I first replied to

This feedback loop certainly does happen to some extent, but my intuition is that it's a small extent. At least in elite academia in the U.S. you get tons and tons of bonus points in every possible situation for being from an "under-represented" group (for some broken definition of "under-represented").

And yes, I benefit from this sometimes.
Nope, not that one ...

> otherwise you have the DNS option which means giving the server access to modify the DNS records which is also unsafe should the box get compromised

This is true, but the machine doing DNS modifications doesn't need to be accessible to any outside initiated connections at all. So if someone has the capacity to compromise such a computer, what would stop them from compromising your desktop computer or your laptop instead?

But either way it would indeed be nice to have further limits on what the box could do. But I think LetsEncrypt does not need to change anything to make this possible.

https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/

The DNS verification works by creating a DNS TXT record named "_acme-challenge" with a TXT value on the domain you are verifying.

So really what you want is for your DNS provider to implement into their API access keys that can be restricted so that the absolutely only thing the key is allowed to do is to create, change and delete the DNS TXT record named "_acme-challenge". Perhaps some DNS providers already make this possible? But the one I am using is only able to limit it to a ZONE, but not to a specific record type and not to a specific label.

In fact I wish CloudFlare would allow such specific fine-grained permissions. But even if they did they'd probably make it part of the Enterprise plan and I am still not an Enterprise customer so.

Edit: Meanwhile that I was writing this someone else posted a sibling comment about ACME DNS alias mode, which I had not heard of. https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/DNS-alias-mo... That's very close to good enough. Though it would still be nice if DNS providers made it possible to issue API access tokens that are limited to specific record type and specific label.
We use Caddy for serving our free dashboards and status pages on your own domain at https://checklyhq.com

It was not super easy to set up. I think the whole config is 20 lines or so, but the docs, naming and functionality of how Caddy actually interfaces with LE was tricky to find out. Basically had to scrape together answers from various GitHub issues etc.

I should write a blog post…

Edit: now it runs fine btw

I like your analogy, but just to clarify, which is the human being in your comparison: the sparrow or the F16?

A sparrow can take off and land on a branch, and it regularly weaves through thick foliage no wider than its wingspan. So, I assume the human is the sparrow?
I'm aware of that. My dad's a university professor.

In this case, though, the gentleman was from Japan, which is hardly a "developing" country.
This presumes (a) a highly reliable ability to identify the "best person", which we simply don't have, (b) the idea that "best" is unidimensional and unrelated to the context one finds oneself in and (c) the idea that such a "best" person will also be the one who will do most to advance science. Just take a look at a century of Nobel prize winners and you'll see that none of those assumptions hold.
I used to use const everywhere and then one day I realised it clutters code and it's never caught a bug for me. I don't personally find it worth the extra time.

Faster Compression with Snappy's S2 Extension
While it's pedantic, in sociology and related fields, status is almost always conceptualized in terms of peer-group connections anyway.

So it would be incorrect to say that General John Smith had high status simply because he was a General. Instead, John Smith's 'status' depended on whether or not he was a peer of other high-status individuals.

In other words, it was always a matter of 'who you know'. It's just that, as you pointed out, in the early stages of a new ruling regime or dynasty, being a General or holding a similar military position pretty much guaranteed that you had the 'right social connections'. This is true even if you gained those connections as a byproduct of your military rank.

This is likely true even in many or most modern states.
If only Apple had chosen to go for BeOS X over NeXT.
They tried to do something quite crazy with manufacturing and it didn't work. Musk has often ignored industry standard and often it works. In this case it didn't and people will now use this forever to show how stupid he is.

However what happened then is that they effectively corrected their mistake, fixed their production, reached their production targets with excellent unit margins.

They learned from the episode and realized they need to reduce part count and made a whole series of innovation and if you look at how their new Model Y are going to be developed in the new factories you see a huge improvements. They developed a new alloy for casting, worked to put largest casting process into production, totally redesigned the battery for manufacturing and massively simplified the battery pack.

To the point where Tesla are quite competitive in terms of weight and ease of manufacturing. They already have industry leading unit margins and some of these innovations will only hit next year.

That part of the story somehow is never mentioned when people say 'hahahahha build cars in a tent'.

They are not doing so bad it seems:

While composer does have this limitation in that packages are published by making new tags within the repo, frameworks like symfony and cakephp have workarounds where they have one monorepo where all packages are worked on, and then automation to push changes to read only repos of each component. So there's https://github.com/symfony/symfony pushing to https://github.com/symfony/event-dispatcher which gets published to packagist.
