Kids don't generally own houses, and at one time they made up a sizeable portion of the German population.

You can have a "shrinking" population, but still a growing adult population - and you would expect more demand for housing (and smaller household size) from this alone.

German birthrates have been steadily declining for a long time. Declining birth rates and immigration (mostly to make up for that) probably plays as big a role on demand as family formation.

About a week before valentines and mother's day, go behind the flower store and do some dumpster diving. You will find hundreds of roses, arrangements, baskets, etc all thrown out. The dumpers will be nearly full. Grab big handfuls and pick through them for all the good stuff and you'll be able to make some pretty fantastic arrangements, all for free.
That's an interesting way to go about it. With Signal, why can't we simply have an open standard like email for our texts? What if texts were just emails?
I'm not saying I "trust" him (or don't). I'm saying I've seen no evidence he's been lying, trying to mislead the public, or whatever other maligned accusations people have been hurling at him all over the internet. When something looks like an honest mistake, why cut into others' characters instead of just calling it out as an honest mistake? Especially with half-quoted clips like that? Say he was wrong all you want (though I highly doubt you would've been a better NIH director). But don't cut into his character without evidence (or mine, for that matter). Not only does it take a lot of audacity to suggest you would've foreseen things better than someone who's spent his life dealing with epidemics (and not all unsuccessfully so), but hurling unfounded accusations like that at everyone whose judgment you don't like is just infuriating, insulting, and unproductive.

It’s a strongly expressed opinion that isn’t necessarily supported by evidence. Do you know of any statistical or anecdotal evidence? I personally don’t know anyone who changed their opinion of GCHQ for better because of their support of LGBT. I don’t agree that it’s so easy to draw such conclusions and exclaim “sure they spy on us but look at their flamboyant support of social justice”.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that civil rights leaders "shut up" and didn't "whine". Most of their work was public issue advocacy in the form of marches, boycotts, speeches, news communication, media advocacy, op-eds, etc. I tend to think of the Birmingham Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the Selma March (Bloody Sunday) as probably the single most crucial acts of civil rights leaders.

I'm also not sure it's accurate to say people aren't taking this law to court. In fact, they did that before the law became law. Then the Supreme Court declined to enjoin the law. Then they managed to enjoin literally this group from enforcing the law, as part of the legal process that's currently unfolding.
I'm probably different from most people, but I really wish there were more rail options in the US (I'm in Texas). It's a 4 hour drive from where I live to my hometown. I really don't enjoy driving, and would happily take a train even if it took twice as long as driving. I'd visit home a lot more too.

Well, GPT-3 isn’t a classifier and it isn’t using labeled data.

As an outsider it definitely appears that GPT-3 is an engineering advancement, as opposed to a scientific breakthrough. The difference is important because we need a non linear breakthrough.

GPT-3 is a bigger GPT-2. As far as we know, there is no more magic. But I think it’s a near certainty that larger models will not get us to AGI alone.

The flip side of wage theft is time theft, where the employee lies about the hours they worked. In most cases, the offender just gets fired. They aren't even required to give the money back because it's generally more trouble than it's worth to make them do so.

Why not force NBA teams to hire short people, same goes for the NHL with their goalies, modeling companies with short/fat/old/unattractive people? People have attributes that give them advantages $ disadvantages. You can’t make everything fair.
> Your docs belong in the code repository

This is essential. If developers have to hunt down the documentation it will never be updated. It needs to be generated from plain text files in the same repository.

Way to many times have I encountered documentation fragmented and outdated split between Confluence, Google Docs, Google Sites, GitHub wikis, network shares, Dropbox, Google Drive, separate git repositories, and other such abominations (MS SharePoint).

Treat you docs like code, treat it like it's important, it is the least you can do to even have a chance of producing marginally acceptable documentation, let alone good documentation.

They is an incentive to minimize false positives (rejected after interview), but no penalty for false negatives (rejected at resume).

In other words they are over-optimizing their pipelines by rejecting too many people at the head of the funnel. Their logic makes some sense. Interviewing is expensive.

Maybe this is a broader risk in over-optimization. If we overqualify leads then we end up with suboptimal prospects.

>They could do whatever ever other company is doing and just looking at all of your data, but Apple didn't want to do that.

Note that Apple doesn't do end-to-end encryption, there's little evidence they are even thinking about it, and there are other issues that would stand in their way if they had tried to. Under the current system, we get client-side scanning and server-side scanning whenever Apple feels like it. Right now, there's no privacy benefit other than the made-up one some Apple fans invented from thin air.

>So they came up with a system that they felt was a good compromise between privacy and trying to stop the spread of CSAM.

It's a terrible 'compromise'. In return for a bad precedent, they get a system that catches way less cases than the typical server-based ones. Unless Apple expands the system further to catch these cases too, in which point one should ask how much privacy is really kept.
That was my point. If the training data contained mostly white faces and few black faces, the AI would have fewer cases to base it’s weightings when trying to analyze a photo with black faces.

Aside from the obvious problem that this is the company itself pulling it down and so no hacking is going on, Go Daddy is like the most mundane hosting company there is and you can't be anything as transgressive as a hacktivist there. Maybe you could get away with calling the responsible corporate drones in the legal department at Linode "hacktivists", but definitely not those at Go Daddy.

The insistence that "script kiddie" is applicable is obviously some sort of 4d chess type of sarcasm trap and I won't engage in it further.

Not quite the same, since McDonalds actually enjoyed the benefit of the labor without paying. So it's as if the customers sat down and ate the meal, then declined to pay. If the cops get called the consequence is probably worse than merely having to pay what was already agreed.

I've come to the conclusion that throwing money at the problem is counterproductive. Instead, throw time. File bug reports, loudly complain when user interface or user experience sucks. Promote projects that get things right, decry projects that get it wrong or are unresponsive to your demands.

Also, be selfish. When you're complaining about something, and the devs say "My grandmother can use it", don't just accept that their grandmother's user experience is more important than your own!

"Podman relies on the unprivileged user namespace usage (CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED) which has some serious security implications..."

A lot of hype around Podman on HN this week (two FP conversations regarding, but nothing "new" with Podman). Seems to be an intentional push to get people talking about it for not much of an apparent reason.

In related news, OpenAI Gym is one of the best collections of reinforcement learning environments available, and after years of neglect OpenAI has finally given a non-paid contributor permission to merge fixes and prepare new releases.

For a pittance OpenAI could maintain OpenAI Gym, Spinning Up, and their other early projects that have been so helpful to students and amateurs like myself. They choose not to.

> But I'm not taking the train if travelling by car was faster, that makes no sense.

If you are going purely for minimizing time, all forms of shared transport will be slower than going it alone. A plane trip on a commercial route is slower than getting a private jet, for example.

The difference is in how much additional time the shared option takes, and how the experience varies, especially relative to cost. For an Amtrak cross-country trip measured in days, I agree with you; I won't ride that (outside of the trip being the reason for the trip) either.

But Amtrak Cascades between Seattle and BC or Portland? I'll definitely take the train for that. I go from downtown to downtown in a bit longer than the time to drive, I don't have to deal with the TSA, I don't have to concentrate on driving myself, I can get food and use the restroom without stopping my trip, and I get a much better seat than on a plane.

If the time comparison is within about 50% extra train versus plane or car, I'm taking the train every time.

Bet it looks like that if your "protest action" is confined to Twitter and TikTok. From where I sit, your "protest action" over the past year achieved NEGATIVE results. Murders and crime are UP. Segregation is UP. Racial strife is UP. I fail to see the "impact" other than several billions in damage, rising crime, and a senile octogenarian in the White House, who is the direct cause of incarceration of hundreds of thousands of African Americans due to his own misguided "legislation" from the 80s. Wonderful, wonderful "impact".
Maybe we should all be mature enough to differentiate the field of study from the sexual relations we see taking place, but in the sphere of 18-28 year-olds, I think the real loss is the distraction for other students. And how it might turn them off from the field entirely.
No. Objective or broad rules or prerequisites for service/employment/etc that apply to everyone, but have a disparate impact on protected classes, are also illegal.

If you kick everyone out of your store that wears dreadlocks, no matter what their race or protected class, and that has a disparate impact on people who belong to protected classes, that's also illegal.

Similarly, if you refuse service to, say, immigrants because of the color of their shirts, but you serve everyone else no matter what color their shirts are, that's also illegal.

If cutting the flowers from the plant is killing the plant, then there are going to be a lot of upset vegetarian and vegans.

Yes, the flowers that are cut are going to wither and die, but they would do this anyways if left attached to the plant. The mere cutting of the flower is not going to kill the plant.
the flowers literally die off seasonally, the only difference here is that they die looking beautiful in the home of someone you love

Off the top of my head, Ballotpedia is among the more accessible. I'm not aware of a specific dataset, though I suspect that exists.

Presidential margin was 631,221 votes.

Texas House balance is 83/67. Majority is 150/2 + 1 = 76 seats. Minority needs a gain of 9.

Texas Senate is 13/18, majority is |31/2| + 1 = 16 seats. Minority needs a gain of 3.

Frankly, AI is going to have a hard time being open for several reasons:

- The computing resources required to train models are not distributed

- Training data will often contain licensed material

- Our digital concept of 'open' revolves around transparency, which is not readily available with conventional AI

That's not to say that we should give up on open efforts in the field, but we're still deep in the experimentation/research phase of artificial intelligence. Copilot has been an excellent demonstration of how poorly suited ML is for prime-time use, even by developers.
> It's a term of art.

This is the right answer. We aren't in danger of eroding the semantic foundations of law by using "theft" instead of "fraud", because "wage theft" is a term with a specific definition.
Neither is a perfect analogy, but note that in your example the customer is actually depriving the restaurant of their possession of some goods without payment, i.e. it's theft. The example here is about services being rendered.

> 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.

Copilot's FAQ says this (under heading Who owns the code GitHub Copilot helps me write?): "GitHub Copilot is a tool, like a compiler or a pen. The suggestions GitHub Copilot generates, and the code you write with its help, belong to you, and you are responsible for it."

They are essentially affirming that the output is not covered by someone else's copyright, but that is far from clear.

And I think it is precisely the copyright issue that turned this into a PR issue. Verbatim copies are just a very obvious demonstration of the copyright issue. The issue isn't gone when they filter out this specific snippet; the people who are concerned about copyright issues are going to remain concerned.

> GitHub has the rights to use your code for training.

Sure, but that's not at all the same as saying that the output produced by the AI free of copyright issues. That's kind of orthogonal.
