This is not the real motivation for diversity initiatives since otherwise you would see a push to hire more old Republicans.
The more interesting question to me is whether there is still something to the ideas that he originally called "object-oriented" that has possibly been lost. The term itself has been overloaded into oblivion, but message communication, vigilant protection of internal state and late binding all the things might still be a good idea.

IMO "objects := algorithms + data structures" has run its course and hasn't succeeded.
This happens because there are no black people of consequence in the ML pipeline. In my previous company Everytime we built a new model, a bunch of us would test it. Being the only black person in the company, I often found some very odd things and we would correct it before shipping.

I understand that fb is a much bigger scale, but all the reason to have a much more diverse set of eyes to test their models before they go live.

If you want to avoid this, hire more black people, seriously.
I support laws protecting employees against political discrimination. I know California has such a law, and so do some Australian states (Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria).

If people are boycotting a company because one of its employees belongs to a protected class – and laws against political discrimination make political belief a protected class – then it will likely be illegal for the employer to fire that employee on account of the boycott. They may legally have no choice but to endure it. It is no different in principle from people choosing to boycott a company for employing a member of any other kind of protected class.
Does this mean that iMessage evaluates messages as code for some reason? Why on earth would that be the case? It's a foundational security principle to not do that.

And even if they did then why is that so hard to fix?
So disappointing. I was legitimately looking for a monkey pic I took years ago to no avail because of no searchability. One of the richest companies in the world prefers to just remove ability than to solve hard problems. But hey, at least we all get ads.

Whose to say that the work they are already doing isn't creating value? And why is only one subset of a person's efforts consider something value creation if it meets certain check boxes, but other ways of using one's time isn't consider creating value.

People pay for sex around the world. People are exchanging value for it. So it is apparently something worthy of value. I mean that is how money works right? When I give you money, we are in an exchange where value is being transferred because there is obviously something of worth involved.
Jaywalking is a bizarre example. The criminalization of normal human movement through automotive lobbies and a derogatory slur is hardly a thing we should aspire to.

A more worthwhile thing to discuss is the prevalence of people ducking their heads or rushing across streets when cars approach, with a level of embarrassment that would better accompany being caught defecating in the street (well, maybe not in SF.) Our culture has so utterly failed around mobility that people are ashamed to be caught walking.
The operating system: should there be one? (2013) [pdf]
Thanks! I really wish they would have put me through training. If I recall correctly they did do a special mid-year for me. That was because of the VP, who knew I was frustrated about the position and HR. That same VP got tired of the rest of the company’s crap, he threw in the towel, and that started the reorganization/leadership vacuum. I am glad I had a couple other options. The company lost a couple dozen good technologists in the span of the following year just because of their horrible organizational management.
> What would the answer be if you replaced "canceled" with "fired" in my comment then?

The same. I wanted to correct the nonsense language. You'll note I used appropriate language in my response.

> But isn't he still the CEO?

If he had been CEO for 6 weeks and did an unremarkable job, he certainly would've been. Given the fact that he made them a boatload of money, obviously they wouldn't fire him. If John Gibson had done anything of value and driven them to record breaking sales, they'd probably have kept him too.
Social Anxiety, lack of upward mobility, a pandemic, higher education, the inability to stand for 8 hours a day, allergies...
Who got fired as a result of any of that? My whole point was that companies are willing to fire people when their left-leaning customers boycott, but not when their right-leaning customers do.

Chill out bro. America isn't even good.
There’s a lot of streets in my state that it gets wrong too. If it was biased toward English or “White” names shouldn’t it pronounce those sufficiently? It seems like cherry picking to say “hey it pronounced this wrong, it’s a racist system” when it isn’t even getting the supposed counter examples correct
whos bright idea was it for intel to buy smartwatch companies?
I think the negative reaction is reasonable. Clearly, if a human did this it would a problem, so why should it be acceptable for an automated system to do the same thing? The fact that it is unintentional doesn't negate the fact that it's an embarrassing mistake.

On the other hand, imagine a world where these labels were applied by a massive team of humans instead of a deep learning algorithm. At Facebook's scale, would the photos end up with more or less racist labels on average over time? My guess is that the model does a better job, but this is just another example of why we should be wary about trusting ML systems with important work.
All of which existed prior to the Dark Net. What allows unwanted marginals to have a digital presence is also what allows the dissents of today and tomorrow to exist.
> They're allowed to state their opinion if it does not negatively impact the finances of the company

This is not a principle that the people who got this CEO actually live by or genuinely believe in. It's a post-hoc excuse for collecting a scalp from the other side. Let's speak plainly about what's really going on here.
What I keep hoping for is the adoption of C++ const-correctness rules for pointers-to-pointers(and further). They really are safe, and allow for more safely handling multidimensional arrays in a correct and C idiomatic way.

The rest of the paragraph doesn't support your main point. How do your Japanese friends scolding you on the cultural nuances of japan prove or help support your point of government policy reflecting culture?
> Meanwhile in Windows land: You can run 20 years old drivers, no problems. Hardware is a commodity.

You can sometimes run 20 year old drivers, assuming same ISA and that none of the ABI has changed, which does in fact happen, just more rarely. Windows 10 is certainly not compatible with 100% of drivers from Windows 7, let alone XP (20 years ago is 2001, so Windows 2000 is actually likely).
And yet if you walk across the aisle, you will hear people saying the opposite: CCP propaganda is something like "vaccines are effective" to increase the microchip coverage, or whatever.
What’s with people calling governments they don’t like illegitimate? People do the same with North Korea all the time.

Those governments may be distasteful and do things you don’t like, but they’re very real and have been for nearly a century now.
I clearly remembered if I wanted a shot at going to school for engineering and getting out of my meth ridden rural town, volunteering in the Navy. I really had no other options than either I was going to be a consumer or a maker of meth.

Can we be certain that it didn't label any white people this way? I feel like if it did, they likely wouldn't care. This isn't a comment about whether or not the problem is racist, or what it means, which I care not to discuss.

Remember that nearly every cartoonist compared GWB to a chimp. In fairness, he kinda resembled one. Doing so to Obama would have been immediately flagged as racist.

I don't need a history lesson, or to be explained to why it's so different... I'm simply making an observation and asking a question.

If anyone can answer the initial question with certainty, then it is clear there is much work to do as they didn't train anything right.

Alternatively it just implies white engineers never have their GPS taking them through Harlem.
Our ability for pattern recognition w/ human faces developed over the course of many thousands of years. People in modern fire fighting gear weren't present through that process. A kid thinking a firefighter is a robot is not the same class of problem. Even kids are good at the type of tasks we're talking about.
Fair. Does Google manipulate their results to make Bidens politics look better than they are? Do they permit criticism of the USA?
Furthermore, boycotts never actually happen. Sometimes loud people on Twitter get together and create the impression that a boycott is coming, and then the company targeted blinks and does what the loud Twitter people want. But the boycotts never actually materialize, and companies that find the stones to ignore the loud Twitter people don't suffer any actual harm. Normal people tune this stuff out.

What's always difficult when trying out projects like this one is that none of my friends are willing to join it with me, so I have to either talk to myself or to strangers. And this weakens the feeling of engagement for me.
Strong agreement here. The impulse to attribute any mishap on anything race-adjacent to racism is one of the most destructive memes at the moment.

It forces a worldview where malice is the default assumption and encourages the "enemies all around us" mindset.
Rejected in Korea, and I cant imagine it standing up to an actual lawsuit anywhere else. The claims section is absurdly broad, it might as well have been a patent for putting USB sticks with data on them in boxes for shipping via Amazon warehouse staff. Not to mention the fact that this patent is beset with prior art https://github.com/search?o=asc&q=entity+component+system&s=... entity component systems are not new and should not be patentable.
That raises the question, is it embarrassing or an expected mistake to be learned from. Many things are mislabel many things are labelled properly but we never say AI must feel pride at the good labeling job why would we give emotions to an emotionless system?
Maybe, but in the particular case you mentioned there is a specific word, "jai", that is pronounced as "high". See Jai Alai, which has been absorbed into English.

> This is not a random essayist but an activist for a particular set of broader societal changes who is writing this piece.

What’s your message here? Are you saying a random essay would be more credible or less credible?

I’m not super informed on this topic, but admittedly, I would give more credibility to someone who’s consistent on their message and not willing to sway with the wind for personal gain- regardless of whether I agree or disagree with them.
...and listed, like the Lisa, under "Mac desktops" for some reason. But aside their organization, the comprehensiveness of this list is actually quite satisfying:)
In what universe is "Ten" a more common pronunciation of "X" than "X"? You might have an argument for "II" or "III", but I'll be shocked if any street in USA is named after the tenth generation of really unimaginative namers.
You've got it backwards, it is the lack of retraction and shame for their wilful misreporting that is in focus, deservedly so. The stories are discreetly "updated" as though the challenges to their journalistic integrity finally arrived to give them a chance to restate the general concern more vaguely. This time without the hassle of having to refer to reality. I'd more readily blame the mindset of blind obedience to the medico/politico narrative before any 2nd order motivations of money, an intern's fact-checking time is free.
I can't find a link to the original 1998 paper, but the authors have an updated paper here: https://home.ubalt.edu/tmitch/645/session%204/Schmidt%20&%20...

In the updated paper, work sample tests do not come up as important as they were in the original paper:

It appears that almost all of the validity of work sample
tests is captured by GMA measures, because the incremental
validity is essentially zero.

But work sample tests are a great mechanism when GMA cannot be used for legal or other reasons. The paper concludes with:

The research evidence summarized in this article shows
that different methods and combinations of methods have
very different validities for predicting future job
performance. Some, such as person-job fit, person-
organization fit, and amount of education, have low
validity. Others, such as graphology, have essentially no
validity; they are equivalent to hiring randomly. Still
others, such as GMA tests and integrity tests, have high
validity. Of the combinations of predictors examined, two
stand out as being both practical to use for most hiring
and as having high composite validity: the combination of
a GMA test and an integrity test (composite validity of
.78); and the combination of a GMA test and a structured
interview (composite validity of .76).

Project treble should actually be really close to this, come to think of it. And I kind of think that that's theoretically supposed to be part of Google's certification process for Android, though I suspect there are caveats (ex. without unlocking the bootloader it doesn't help).
As others noted, just because someone is black doesn't mean that they would have caught this. The whole point of ML is to adapt to what is effectively an unbounded set of inputs, pretty much by definition there will be cases where even a team of 100% black people will train a model that, given the correct input, will fail in ways that particularly affect black people.

OP said evil, not violence. The boundary between good and evil is so thin, that people cross it without even realizing that, e.g. when they wish or do something for personal gain. It's just most people have zero power over others. Evil is indeed barely contained in a typical human today.
This doesn't work in the described way. Commenting takes you to zero, only one person could agree to take you back to 1.

So going to a subgroup of your likeminded people would do nothing. You can comment 'like me pls', which would take you from one credit to 0. The responder liking it would take credit back to 1, which is where it was initially. So, nothing gained.

However, one would have to solve the multiple account problem, which every site has to deal with.
Is there a demo in this link? I’m not seeing it.
You don’t know what an ad hominem is. You are incorrectly applying the definition. It is not an argumentative fallacy to ask the basis by which a person’s assertions have been formed. You’ve made lots of claims about teaching but clearly you have no experience to back it up and (this is important) you have not provided any citations to back up your assertions.

People have to make judgments with imperfect knowledge. It’s reasonable to discount the unsubstantiated opinions of someone with no experience with the topic at hand.

It should at least be interesting to you that it was obvious from your comments that you don’t have experience teaching mathematics in the classroom. Why was that so obvious to those of us with that experience? The previous question is rhetorical.

i mean, if you're looking at it, it's obviously important enough to simulate.

Intel's been deep into their own shortage for years, because 10nm was almost unusable for most of its life. 2020 just brought everyone to their level, it didn't give them an advantage.

Do you think Google is having someone go through the tens of thousands of street names?

Or do you think they had a team (on a completely different project or perhaps company) write a text to speech function that wasn't well suited for directions.

Streets have lots of numbers after all. People frequently have numbers in their name.
$3k per ton seems quite high and if so would make even current direct air capture tech at $500-$600 per ton a bargain.
"(name) (Roman numeral)" is a much more commong occurence than "(name) (Single letter spelled out)".

So to answer your question, this one. This universe.

And no, nobody "programmed this". I don't know how anyone of decent technical competence can think that. The workaround has likely been hardcoded in some way, if anything. How can you possibly think that someone at google decided it would be funny to program, on purpose, a wrong pronunciation of Malcolm X, and even more so SOMEHOW NOT GET CAUGHT.

By the way, there are an incredibly large amount of streets in the US alone, so no it would not be surprising. Here in Europe we have kings going up into the twenties of their name, and those ML models have to pronounce those too.

I just... I just fucking can't, with comments like yours, anymore.

Not necessarily a large part, simply enough to identify as its own pattern.

In my experience there are a lot of bigoted things on Facebook. If these are serving as source data, and are sufficiently distinguished from other training material, it may well be user behavior the ML system would replicate.

Microsoft is a very bad comparison given in the article.

Microsoft haven't found a radically better way to sell MS Office, or Windows. It's just leveraged what Mr. Balmer built, an extensive sales network, and monster salesmen who make car salesmen look nice, to upsell big, fat clients into buying grossly overpriced web hosting (Azura.)

The best direct comparison would be if Intel starts force selling their corporate buyers an extremely overpriced Windows clone.

We had a visit by one MS salesman trying to forcefeed us 365, and cloud AD, instead of out self-hosted AD. We almost had him escorted out.
Well said. This is the classic, “You can’t negotiate with terrorists” situation. It might seem like a local maxima in one instance to give in to fear and consequence, but it only feeds repeated instances.

It's better to describe them as goals instead of features.

Somewhat related: Are you planning to support monkey patching? In some cases it's a nice feature. In some cases it's a nightmare. Anyway, IIRC it's very difficult to write a compiler that produces fast code and also support monkey patching.

Revolutionary Access to Intangible Asset Data of Fortune 500 Companies
Hey everyone! As the title says, I made a [financial data web app](www.trackerelite.io) that empowers the next generation of investors.

For example, We democratize intangible asset data via our web interface. You can access our data on B2B Rights, Brand, Relationships etc that can be protected by Intellectual Property and that drives stake holder Value.

I started working on this a few years ago, with the idea that Intangible Assets are the next generation of stock market data. Our platform which is in beta, solves many issues for us and for other people investing in today’s culture. It’s personally has helped drive my portfolio up 700% in the past 3.5 years.

I am curious to hear any feedback on the idea but also what we can implement to make the app more useful.
