Hello! I am looking for an internship for summer 2022. Last summer as I was a ARM/LLVM compiler engineer - and am looking to stay in the systems/embedded space, but am generally open to any remote position and positions that I can be in Colorado in the future. I will be graduating for December 2022, so just one semester after I intern I will hopefully be able to join on full time!

Please reach out if you want to chat!
I think you’re way off base. For whatever you think of tech, programming and automation are the harbingers of control and consolidation.
I think the number of people who are unwilling to share funny videos or local tips because they want to use a pseudonym are in the minority. Hell, people are discovering internet nowadays by creating an account with their real name.
problem is unless this AI is 100% perfect it will not provide any value to a radiologist. it is their reputation on the line with each interpretation.

to have them read an AI's diagnosis before having to assess a mammogram themselves to confirm the AI's finding is adding an unnecessary step to their workflow.

This may seem pedantic, but this is an aspect of project management. The pen and paper aren't in the coding, they're in the design.

You may be doing some abstractions/pseudo code on paper but you're not coding. You're planning.

There's nothing wrong with this! I think it's a great way to operate. But it's less sexy to say "How I Plan: Pen and Paper" then to conflate it with coding.

Everyone does planning. Some people do it on-the-fly while coding. Some people do it in their head. Some people write it down.
I fantasize all the time about buying stuff like this and using it for nefarious purposes.

Unfortunately the only real legit use for it is boring security work.

The best way to use this while avoiding big legal trouble would be to stalk a single target that would never have any idea they are being stalked and doesn’t have much resources to come after you legally. Maybe an ex-girlfriend or something.
A lot of voices are encouraging building cities up and increasing density. As a father with young kids, high-density urban living, with a young family crammed into an apartment does not seem like the ingredients for a healthy childhood; but I admit, that's not how I grew up. How does more high-density housing create an environment where the next generation can grow up in health and safety?
> Chicken opted to stick with RSR5 for a long time [...] implementing RSR7 [...] Is there something else I'm missing out on?

As an outsider (I admire Scheme, but don't really use it day to day), I got the impression R6RS was very divisive. Some people really wanted to make a "batteries included" revision to the standard so that Scheme could be used the way Python/Java is. However, this meant that the standard was prohibitively complicated for small/research implementations, and it lost some of the R5RS elegance and philosophy. In response, R7RS tried to tie things back together by having two versions (I think they call them Small and Large), where Small is a subset of Large, and both pretty much disregard R6RS.

Anyways, I believe Chicken was firmly in the "disagrees with the design of R6RS" camp. And for what it's worth, I think the decision to create the name "Racket" (and associated design changes) also came about because of this schism. Even though they have an R6RS language/implementation, I don't believe the Racket language conforms to any of the RnRS standards.

I'm certain someone here can do the history more justice if they wanted.
One thing I've realized about the constitution and the bill of rights is that they are a mechanism that allows the good guys to spot the bad guys quickly. Without constitution, the bad guys could gaslight everyone and chew their freedoms in the meantime. They would debate that chewing that or this wooden pillar is ok because it doesn't really support the construction and so on. But if theres a codex that starts with "rule 1. chewing wood in the house is prohibited" then the good guys will instantly agree that those guys chewing wood must be bad, no debates necessary. It's a sort of distributed consensus for large societies. The good guys may be lazy and choose to not enforce the rules, but that's not the Constitution's problem.

i was super clear. what else have we presented users as a consistent cross system abstraction/means to handle data? nothing. you have nothing.

i dont understand your arguments on ios photos or notes. google photos is one big folder full of files, and some photos can be tagged or organized. this would fit into either a filed symlinking paradigm or a use of extended attributes. i have zero clue ehy you think these apps are anything other than files and folders, but obfuscated.
"Life is one big status game" .. by default.

It is important to remember that you choose which game to play (or not) and you choose how your goals. You want to choose wisely, because this is a big part of your life!

The status does not have to be zero-sum -- while a lot of "games" have clear winner/losers, not all do. You can have a "cacti growing club" where one member is proud of their prickliest cactus, while another is proud of their tallest cactus -- and both have high status, especially in their own eyes!

(Or you can have a cactus club full of backstabbing and belittling... in this case you don't want to go there, find some other thing to be a part of).
"General! Our marines are outnumbered! Zerglings are eating them alive!"

"Send in the SCVs!"

"But where will we get our minerals from? How will we train more marines?"

"Send in the SCVs!"

I mean, it made sense as a short-term measure during WW2 to boost arms production. But you can't run a society this way long term. It's insane.

"Help us, we're starving!"

"Just eat more of your seed corn; trust me!"

...

It's like a society that never figured out crop rotation. Yeah, you can grow corn for a while, but you also need to rotate in some cover-crops and nitrogen-fixers. You need to let the soil rest and restore fertility. You can't have it pumping out economic output season after season.
Yes, and political scientists are aware of that. Note that much of the criticism is political: China, Russia, Iran.

It definitely favors the west but despite the bogeyman a lot of academics just want good data. It also is not rating the US especially high.
Meanwhile, states and corporations can spy on everything you do without a warrent or even informing you and you can be censored for pretty much anything without recourse.
Price-gouging laws artificially suppress the profitability of being the only supplier in a crisis. So it's not worth building your systems with the capacity to do any of that stuff.
Possibly a dumb question, but...is there any good economic (vs legal, cultural, etc) reason why a Spotify-style "streaming service" for books wouldn't work?

That is, you pay an affordable monthly subscription fee in exchange for completely unfettered access to almost every published book, and authors are compensated per book/page/line read, or something like that.

We write code in paper, all the way upto college. Sometimes you get the privilege of a lab, but everything is mostly handwritten on paper even in a Computer Science major. Assignments cannot be typed, you'd have to handwrite everything, exams are on paper where you write pages of code.
This.

I entertained the idea of working in the public sector a while ago, for a brief time, until I learned that pot is fine in my past, but not in my present. "How the heck do you expect me to get the code written?"

Also, I've been told that getting a clearance is more burden than blessing. You have restrictions that an "ordinary person" doesn't have, along with criminal penalties for violating them. Whereas, without a clearance, if they really need you for something, they'll bring you in anyway.
Yes, this. The beauty of the Unimog setup we run in production is we are resilient to ECMP rehash events — each server acting as a load balancer has access to state (backed by Consul) that tells it which flow belongs to which application server.

Or you can use a for to satisfy the linter that is more in the spirit of the while loop, albeit at a cost of O(n) memory where n is the number of iterations the loop takes:

scale = 5
t = [1]
for i in t:
do_stuff(scale)
scale = scale/2
if scale > 0.1:
t.append(1)
Having lived in an area without a HOA, I've witnessed people fly confederate flags, park RVs, boats, broken down trucks, etc. all over their driveways, yards, and the streets, etc. etc... I became a believer in HOAs. At this point in my life, I'd rather live in a HOAed neighborhood than not. This is my opinion I've formed from my personal experiences so not all may agree.

Indeed some HOAs are ridiculously overbearing and limit things you'd think aren't even possible to limit. There's a nice middle ground somewhere but not all HOAs are there.

Because "while 1:" is valid Python, but "while true:" is not
;) (gotta capitalize "True").

In addition to the GP's self deprecating sibling comment, I started using Python around 2.2, before there were even "True" and "False". So, seeing a 'while 1' loop is perfectly natural to me. But, I'm also perfectly comfortable with Python's "truthiness" in more places than most people are.

As a bonus: consider "while 'false' :" as a perfectly valid start to an unbounded loop.
Lightning cables are only for iPhone/iPad -- do people actually use wired keyboards with those?

You can follow this pattern right down to the individual level, too. We train and work as deep specialists at the expense of general capabilities down to and including our ability to provide the basics of life without sourcing them from those same complex supply chains. The economic incentive for this is very strong, and the same weaknesses creep in the longer the situation continues.

Not so clear how to foster redundancy coming back in at that level.
It’s honestly really hard to tell if you’re engaging in good faith here. If you really are, I’d direct you to the Grundrisse. Marx specifically explains that as industrialization continues more and more parts of the economy become automated which (should) free up labor to pursue other things like art and science.

Yes it is true that he didn’t literally use the phrase “post-scarcity” but there has been 200 years of academic development on these works since then and I don’t regard this simpler way of discussing the concept as controversial, especially since this is a social media thread and not an academic paper.
Thanks for the lesson, you are absolutely right, shame on me. I have so far posted 81 questions on Hacker news, always on the same topic, always with a serious title, related to the subject. Almost never an answer. So I cracked, I thought that attracting the visitor with a catchy title would give me the chance to get some feedback on a research that is close to my heart and that I have been pursuing alone for so long. I missed my chance, I took a slap and I deserved it. Sorry to have wasted your time. Sorry I couldn't get your opinion on my work. I promise not to do it again.

It seems like it would definitely hurt economic competitiveness relative to our economic rivals who have top-down control (to whatever degree that confers an advantage). But it would also allow us to avoid some disadvantages of top-down governance. In the current federal system, it isn’t difficult to imagine the implantation of something like a national rent control bill (which, though productive fodder for populist politicians, would cause a rash of predictable economic problems), whereas it would be impossible to imagine the same change (and the related problems) occurring nationwide if said policy had to be adopted at the state level.

It would also allow the states to serve their original role as “the marketplace of ideas”. One could imagine Oregon implementing state-run healthcare or a UBI, or Kansas implementing the “Fair Tax”, whereas now the states look to the federal government to implement these sorts of large policy changes.
What's wrong with just red team or blue team? As long as they're both competing for your vote and not colluding, it sounds like a pretty good way of establishing what popular opinion is. They're not static. When public opinion changes, they have to adapt to maintain their competitiveness.

Even people who unthinkingly vote for the same party no matter what are just cancelled out by their counterparts and are effectively abstaining. That's helpful because they didn't vote intelligently anyway.
The British system were called Rainbow Codes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Code

See this from the article:

"During WWII, British intelligence was able to glean details of new German technologies simply by considering their code names. For instance, when they began hearing of a new system known as Wotan, Reginald Victor Jones asked around and found that Wotan was a one-eyed god. Based on this, he guessed it was a radio navigation system using a single radio beam. This proved correct, and the Royal Air Force was able to quickly render it useless through jamming."

Read R.V. Jones book "Most secret* war" if this kind of war-engineering interests you.

* Pay attention to "most secret" rather than the ghastly Americanism "top secret"!

The stuff we use to build the stuff you're talking about is some of the stuff that is scarce.
Agree with this. You can want housing to be affordable or a good investment. It basically can't be both.
- something like netflix

- (more) copyright exceptions for libraries

- bring public universities into the mix, don't allow them to pay for private journals

- Go rogue, find the datahoarder people and give them money

- Individually go rogue. Just pirate all day and tell your friends

But also, don't let my responses detract from your absolutely correct charge. I am angry and I am judging :)
> I can't tell if they are developers or not, but I have seen what I'll refer to as "evangelists" of GrapheneOS spread a lot of misinformation about LineageOS and Mainline Linux phones, then when ignore technical arguments and block people who raise those technical arguments.

This is completely untrue and is you trying to spin your regular persistent attacks on us into us doing something wrong. We aren't spreading any misinformation about LineageOS. AOSP can use mainline Linux kernels and traditional Linux distributions often use Android kernels so there's another an example of muddying the waters.

> After seeing it a few times, it really makes me uneasy to use GrapheneOS. Heck, I switched back to LineageOS because of this behavior.

It's you engaging in this behavior.

> In the Linux phone community, we all have our preferences (I use Mobian and am a Mobian Dev), but we are very cooperative and friendly to one another. For example, I go out of my way to make sure all of my projects work on other OSes/DEs, and I am just as welcome in the PostmarketOS developer community as I am in the Mobian community as I am in the Mobile Fedora community. I personally consider quite a few of the pmOS devs to be my friend, as well as the Fedora devs I work with.

You're acknowledging right here that you're a developer in those projects and here you are acting maliciously towards GrapheneOS with falsified claims about it. That's pretty unfortunate. It's pretty sad that you folks show up whenever it's mentioned to attack it. We'll be contacting those projects about your behavior here and elsewhere. We do not consider it to be those projects doing something wrong and expect that the others involved in them don't want you spreading FUD about GrapheneOS and starting a conflict with it.

I hate the inconsistency that stash brings, but gitless is useless since it destroys the primary use case for stashing: I start making changes and then realise I'm working on the wrong branch. Git's solution to the problem is awful, but it's better than nothing.
There's a tectonic shift going on. In my opinion, the biggest reason for the lack of real democracy in the whole western world is the controlled and biased media. Until the internet arrived, the sole source of information was the media. Controlling the media meant absolute control of public perception.

Elections were rigged, but they were barely needed to be rigged because just simply controlling the media meant controlling which politicians people even knew about, and the entire perception came from the media.

The internet threw a whole apparatus of political control into chaos. The first signs of this disruption were trump and the Brexit, and the elite have been flailing to take back control at all costs since then.

The loss of freedoms that happened since is because the introduction of the internet for communication meant it's no longer enough to control the media to control a country, and the elite which silently controlled the so called western free world was forced to borrow from the authoritarian playbook to stay there.

We're getting either towards a completely dystopian future where these elite successfully swapped the old media control with new control mechanisms that are robust against internet dissent, or a new french revolution where people are finally awakened and pissed off by these elite enough to create the modern day guillotines.

Unfortunately, sometimes, freedom is a zero-sum game. I'd rather be free to sleep comfortably at night, than being "freee tooo parrtyyyy, broooo". And those who complain about this are usually the kind of people I wouldn't want near my house.

I love to have the freedom to live in a regulated neighborhood with like-minded people and those who don't like it are free as well to go buy a house literally anywhere else in the world.
