No. This is what critical theory (such as critical race theory) touches on: the obvious fact that social pressure can be applied not only through the letter of law, but also the context of what people can be compelled to tolerate in ordinary daily life.

If people constantly joke around about rape, it's clearly not meant to be that big of a crime, plus it's on people's minds as a possible thing to do.

If it's normal to go around presented with swastikas and nooses but not normal to react angrily to such messaging, then those things and Nazism and lynching are culturally acceptable regardless of the letter of the law, which will be next on the list to bring up to speed with what the cultural messaging is saying.

If it's normal to go around seeing giant expensive statues of slavers put up, not during a conflict but many years later when black civil rights are becoming a thing, then those slavers are the real heroes regardless of what the laws say… and the laws will follow along as soon as it's convenient to do so.

It's always projection. The fear of Critical Theory is real and not unjustified. That sort of societal-context thinking is how Nazis, slavers and racists have historically got what THEY wanted, so it stands to reason they'd recognize it right away when it's used against them.
My understanding is there is considerable activity and communication in the white space of the organization chart at Apple. Strict silo organizations tend to be extremely bureaucratic and slow moving.

And their symbol is that of his means of death, with many churches prominently displaying that death (him dying on the cross).
That the outcome of the mass conversion has positive aspects is orthogonal to the point that mass conversion is happening.

I'll let you ponder whether donning sexual behavior symbolism at all in kindergarten and elementary school is an appropriate adult behavior. Which is pervasive on the West Coast, possibly Dallas is different.

There are some theological interpretations of this state of affairs that point into the direction of wokeism being a Christian heresy: Christian religion without Christ. I won't go any further because this is sadly radioactive ground.
Sure - but if I, a stranger, am really looking forward to seeing the burning of an effigy of some dude's ex-girlfriend, that would make me look pretty weird.
I'd say the 47-50 week work-year is too long to be efficient/time productive.
Luckily I’m looking at it from the outside so I can say without flinching “if this was a functioning democracy and a functioning legal system this wouldn’t have happened”.

There are certainly shades of gray all over but I also don’t think anything can be excused as morally acceptable because it’s decided democratically.

> actually illegal

The thing though is that abortions are now in that category too!

Democratically elected officials creating laws without public support is sometimes necessary (e.g for budgetary reasons, environmental reasons or similar). Doing it in this situation isn’t that.
I don't really understand this take. I've never met anyone that was vociferously pro housing and wasn't also pro bike/public transit. Also if we need to build more housing, which I think we take as a given, building in the denser areas is going to strain infrastructure less than endlessly expanding the suburbs is it not?
Apparently people still do this on Discord.
That's a very interesting distinction that I didn't know about. I feel like reddit has intentionally left that part out because it shows the person was of reasonable mind. It was just something about it in particular they were not willing to cross.
I find it fascinating that through all this, rarely if ever is it mentioned through traditional media channels that the reason in large part for all of this might just be because of our over-reliance on China and other countries when it comes to manufacturing.

How beautiful would it be if chips, and many other things, were built here in the US? In addition to the myriad of obvious benefits, another would be not having to wait over a month or more between a chip “rolling off the line” and finally making the month or more long trip from overseas.

Sure, most news articles regarding this issue will mention offshore production in passing - its impossible not to. But very few if any are actually making that a focal point of the article.
I expect most Americans are much more familiar with Christianity than with ancient Celtic religion.
I feel like people in the US have a warped viewpoint on this because Apple hardware is so common there.

Outside of the US, especially in poorer countries, Apple hardware is vastly less prevalent, both at universities and in general.

You folks are victims of your own financial success :-)
Yeah, but also perhaps the 2-day weekend is too short.

It seems way more of a stretch to have a non-regular work "week" of 8 days.

But I'm more skeptical that 5 days is too long vs 2 days is too short.

There is a gigantic difference between 2 day weekends and 3 day weekends. Literally, it's 50% longer.

From a work-week perspective, 4 days vs 5 days is only 20% shorter. And the difference is not that noticeable.

Another possible solution to achieve similar goals is to give workers ~47 Mondays and Fridays to use as vacation at their disposal.

Some people might want to have 4-day weekends for half the year. Some people might want 3-day weekends the whole year.

This is not really a logistics nightmare to plan around for non-service jobs.
Hey! Appreciate it!

It's used in production in the past 3 companies I've worked for (a movie company, a gaming company, and a computer hardware company). In all cases it's used to templetize resources in a CI pipeline -- although others have told me they use it as a very, very slim Helm replacement.

In my current case, I'm working with a Google product that requires a Rego policy to be embedded into a YAML for Kubernetes, so this allows embedding it (see in the Readme the last example).

Currently, it cannot output multiple files in one run. How would you envision that? Would you say you would prefer passing a folder and any file inside of it is templetized or rather you would see multiple "-f" flags? Let me know, happy to work on it, since it's also a need I've been told from other parties too!
I worked closely with an AI ethicist at $100B+ tech company company and their findings were that all of our AI training data was biased and the ML teams had no plans to de-bias their training data because they had no incentive to do so. I have no reason to believe this finding doesn’t hold for the FAANG companies. AI ethics are mostly an afterthought in tech today.

And to your second point about how would we know if the team was “all white,” of course we don’t know that and it’s probably not true. What we do know is that tech in the us is disproportionately whiter than the general public, and ~10 person teams with no black people on them are the norm, not the exception.

Edit: I should say that 10 person teams without black people on them are the norm in FAANG companies and others headquartered in the Bay Area. Other tech hubs in the US are much more diverse.
The reason that they were removed from Godaddy is because they violated the EULA.

Charcoal is nearly carbon-neutral, with the carbon coming from the air via trees or other biomass. It's bad for deforestation reasons, but it's not carbon-intensive.

I'm not an expert, but aren't pretty much all neural networks that are used for classifying images prone to adversarial attacks and general weird conclusions? In this case it comes up with something offensive, but I'm sure there are plenty of other cases where it's just incorrect etc. I'd imagine the only solution would be to have a human editor before these are posted, or just not use this technology in that kind of context.

There are similar stories in other religions. Krishna stands out, being killed while in human form, forgiving his killer, and then ascending to heaven. Although that was an accident, not intentional sacrifice.
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic, but it also has well-known antiviral properties too [1] [2]. Chose a study that did not relate to C19 since I think we all hate HIV/AIDS, Dengue Fever, and what was once a scourge in Yellow Fever.

As with any other drug, it is important to consider Ivermectin toxicity [3]. That would be my primary concern for the general population taking veterinary sized doses intended for large animals. I would never do that - I would talk to a doctor, preferably an infectious disease doc that has experience treating this malady, and get a prescription for it, and follow dosing instructions.

I attended an interview with them once. (I think it was for one of their clients; American Express). It started in a large conference room, where I was one of about 200 other people. Weirdest interview ever, and also totally inappropriate for my skillset - due to the recruiter not giving a crap, apparently.
The other solutions based on file locking tools all seemed fragile.

> In ideal conditions, where the wind is at its strongest, one wind catcher unit could produce up to 400 gigawatt-hours of energy. By comparison, the largest, most powerful wind turbine on the market right now produces up to 80 gigawatt-hours.

Up to now, I was under the impression that wind turbines produced energy, but apparently they just store it. [eyeroll]

Seriously, looking up the specs on the turbine they're comparing against, the actual advertised units are 80GWh per year. I imagine that these units are chosen to reflect the cumulative result of a variable power source plus any required downtime.

If you wanted to compare these against continuous power sources (nuclear, natural gas, coal), then the 80GWh/y is equivalent to 9.1MW, and the 400GWh/y is equivalent to 45.6MW. So you'd need about 22 of these new units to have an annual output equivalent to a single 1GW nuclear plant.
LinkedIn has some really hostile design to it. I hate that anyone can pay LinkedIn money and then DM me advertisements.

I think part of why I like shlinkedin (i'm the other co-founder btw), is that it gives folks a place to vent about all that shit in a fun way. And I think it's probably healthy for people to take LinkedIn less seriously—maybe this'll nudge 'em towards that.
That's true, but not even half the story. The couple in question had gone around like a dozen other cake makers who were all fine with making the cake they said they wanted. So why sue that guy?

It's pretty clear, this was never a ordinary couple looking to have a nice wedding. The point of the whole operation was to find somebody who was not sufficiently supportive of them and use the power of the state to crush them.
To put this in context, it's helpful to flip the politics around.

Imagine if GoDaddy was owned by a Trump buddy, like the 'Pillow Guy', and they were shutting down a website that helped sexually assaulted women find abortion clinics.

How would one's concern about the original situation apply in that situation?

I would say Section 230 is a decent bandaid solution but is the opposite of 'neutrality' and we likely need close scrutiny with respect to these things.

We don't want Verizon inspecting our packets willy nilly and blocking traffic depending on who we might vote for, clearly at the 'network' level the motion for 'neutrality' is most obvious. Section 230 defines the domain "interactive computer service" , so it's not at all clear which tranches of technology fall under this.

But 'hosting' and 'social networks', 'blogging + comments' are different, they are not arbitrary distinctions, and it'd be better if there were more clarity and better boundaries around what kinds of things they can 'moderate' etc..

Section 230 probably applies very well to those platforms that host and manage or publish content, like Social Networks, but maybe not so much the GoDaddy's, Amazon's and VISA's of the world.
If scanning is done in the cloud, I can disable cloud uploads and reasonably trust no filter list will get me reported. If it’s done on-device, I have to rely on Apple to uphold their policy of only scanning material uploaded to iCloud. That’s a big difference.

Is the novelty of GPT-3 more about smart algorithms and experienced researchers or is it about beefy hardware/ASICs that do the number crunchings?

This is from SQLite docs:

> SQLite uses POSIX advisory locks to implement locking on Unix. On Windows it uses the LockFile(), LockFileEx(), and UnlockFile() system calls. SQLite assumes that these system calls all work as advertised. If that is not the case, then database corruption can result. One should note that POSIX advisory locking is known to be buggy or even unimplemented on many NFS implementations (including recent versions of Mac OS X) and that there are reports of locking problems for network filesystems under Windows. Your best defense is to not use SQLite for files on a network filesystem.

I guess cross-platform for naive me is POSIX + Windows.
Switzerland just rejected laws bringing food production closer to organic with an organic farm lobbyist arguing they wanted low standards to have a more differentiated product.

In general, I won't support a-la-carte organic and I look forward to paying a premium for tea from any country that achieves full organic production. Given how regional food reputation works, I think countries that lead can seriously drop production and still make a profit, then they have the opportunity to fix their production challenges to be far more profitable than if they raised their production of commodity grade products.
A mortgage to a black person. The point is you can’t reject something that’s a proxy for a protected class. For example only staffing your call center with blonds.
Why does there tend to be a reflexive set of predictable comments on any article about racism within the tech industry that boils down to "Here is some half baked unresearched explanation that justifies why this instance of racism isn't that big of a deal?"

It surprises me honestly. North Carolina does emissions and a safety inspection, there are quite a few cars on California roads that would definitely not be considered road legal here. Although to be fair our 25 (20 maybe?) year emissions exemption is rolling, so cars that turn 25 that new year are now exempt as well. It’s kind of nice.
It's exactly the same as McCarthyism. And yeah, we should have risen above it by now, but it has only gotten stronger. But where are liberals going to go? The right is even worse...and they have 3/4 of a century of experience doing it.

Turns out you were right about this: http://www.tesio.it/2021/09/01/a_decompiler_for_artificial_n...

Obviously I was not aware of this, so the whole decompilation process was a waste of computation time, but it doesn't prove nor disprove anything about the "model"'s relation with the source dataset.

Try getting a non-technical person to understand this issue beyond the level of "okay, so it output some copyrighted code, then they blocked that code from being output. Sounds like they fixed it". That's the obvious PR angle, and once the big, widely-publicized issue is fixed, it's hard to get another article with that much traction. Besides, if another snippet becomes popular, it can be blocked the same way. The issue is fundamentally a PR one, not a copyright one, since the responsibility for using or not using the code relies on the end-user. GitHub has the rights to use your code for training.
I think we can all sympathise with that sentiment, regardless of our sex :P
Why would it make you a hypocrite if you think "bad things shouldn't happen" and "(unrelated) good things should happen" at the same time?

Maybe you meant the case where the company uses the exact same legal argument to later ban something you support? But this does not mean you must be a hypocrite, because the company might well employ it in error. Or you might have objected to already the first time it was stated because it was overly broad. Clearly hypocrisy does not follow automatically in the general case.

And this is no more a slippery slope than that which you stand on whenever you do any moral judgment. The real problem that godaddy's action calls attention to is rather the arbitrary selectivness by which companies enforce their terms of service.

> *Important News*: 4th September 2021: Sponsored Posts Issue: It seems Facebook have just changed their code for Sponsored Posts, so some people have started seeing Sponsored Posts in their Newsfeed again, I am working on fixing this, please be patient, thanks! *UPDATE* It seems for some people the sponsored posts are only getting through if your Newsfeed is set to "Top Posts", if you switch to "Most Recent", the Sponsored Posts should in theory disappear. The good news is that FBP has an option to keep you permanently on the "Most Recent" feed when you visit the Newsfeed, so that could possibly solve the issue for now, give it a try and let me know if that solves it for you. In the meantime, I will continue working on a more robust fix.
I am 100% for this tactic being applied against gun owners. Not because I am against all gun ownership, or want gun owners to suffer, but because it's consistent with the law in Texas and there's not a snowball's chance in hell that the 5 justices who voted to allow the law to stay in place for now would have been fine with the gun law.

No it was the wedding cake specifically that was rejected without discussing details, they could order other baked goods as long as they where not used as a wedding cake.

“Masterpiece's owner Jack Phillips, who is a Christian, declined their cake request, informing the couple that he did not create wedding cakes for marriages of gay couples owing to his Christian religious beliefs, although the couple could purchase other baked goods in the store. Craig and Mullins promptly left Masterpiece without discussing with Phillips any of the details of their wedding cake.“

You cherry picked a video from April after he changed his mind. Here's what he said in March.

"There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face."

I agree in spirit but disagree in practice, I think. Like we said previously, the domain is humongous so even establishing meaningful relationships between labels and sublabels is extremely difficult. Many cases are likely ambiguous too, our human understanding isn’t actually hierarchical - it’s much more elusive. It’s a square peg round hole type problem really, humans don’t really think in terms of labels in the first place, we mostly use them for the purposes of language.

Yeah, I was intentionally invoking the Rolling Stones, since the article mentions the Altamont incident where Meredith Hunter was killed by the Hell's Angels right in front of the stage as one of its examples. Might not be entirely clear to readers who aren't familiar with the Stones' back catalog.
Who protects that freedom ? Suppose i own the police, because they are of course privatized and owned by unelected entities (me). I can tell them to arrest you or whatever just because I feel like it. Because there is no state providing justice, if you are not yourself powerful or well liked, I don't see where you'd get any recourse. Someone else can easily give you the only choice of indentured servitude for protection and this is not at all a novel pattern in human societies, it goes on all the time.
Cloud scanning would be better, because there’s a clear way to opt out - don’t back up to the cloud. Scanning in device takes a hard technical restriction where they can’t scan files they don’t have access to and turns it into a policy restriction where they say they won’t scan files that are not being uploaded to iCloud.

How long do you expect that policy to realistically hold when some three-letter-agency comes knocking?
