It's not obvious to me what black people would have done to fix this specific problem. Would they have said "oh we should make sure to test the algorithm on blurry images of people in a forest and make sure it doesn't get confused"?
I have never found a good explanation of when a noSQL database is the right choice. In most cases a relational database makes more sense, and when you do really need to save a JSON-like data structure, you have to answer this question: is the structure predictable? Then destructure it and store it in relational tables, if it can be any shape then it can be put in a JSON column in postgres or MySQL. Hopefully you are just reading it and not querying inside it.
I disagree to an extent. There's a Facebook bot that reposts things from HN to FB and you can see the significant drop in quality. When people can't downvote, they yell at each other. There's a similar effect on HN main page where you can't downvote submissions, only flag. So disagreements with the submission float to the top of the comment list, whereas the people who agree give it a silent upvote. One of mine in the past got about 70 upvotes and 20 disagreeing comments, but few people write comments in agreement because a comment like "Well said!" adds nothing to the conversation.

However, the fact that this comment was downvoted into negative numbers without any criticism is quite disappointing. It's a good demonstration of where the system doesn't work.

The hypocrisy is deafening, from the article:

In a linked article it’s mentioned that the son’s money is from a trust, so I wonder if there’s some kind of loophole like the Florida principal residence exception.

I can think of plenty of things that would "hurt the feelings of the Chinese people" and cost companies a lot of money. I hope you have the same opinion about that. (e.g. the Houston Rockets controversy https://www.businessinsider.com/nba-china-feud-timeline-dary... )
A net negative how? Because it's a non-necessary service? Then it's as much of a negative as nice restaurants or TV shows are.

It's just supply and demand. There's demand for sex work, so there's a supply of sex work. Criminalizing sex work just makes life harder for sex workers. They have to dodge cops constantly, and they have trouble getting healthcare. If they get in trouble, they can't call the police.

It's a free country ­— let them do their jobs in peace. If they'd rather have a different job, they can switch careers on their own, without getting arrested.

"But what about sex trafficking victims?" Sex trafficking victims will have a lot less trouble going to the police if they're not at risk of having charges pressed against them for being prostitutes.
Why would that be true? I don't understand the argument that black people would have avoided this.

From what I can tell the only fix here is a hardcoded workaround outside the net, or a substantially more powerful architecture.
Nobody said this particular misclassification must occur. But there will be misclassifications, which is what your original question asked. Since you know the answer, why ask the question? That's why I asked you if what you asked was a real question.
I mean of the choice is between that and crippling debt and a useless degree, he's making the objectively smart move.

The fact that they were able to buy things while living at home just drives the point home even more- he would not have the disposable income to make those purchases for many years if he decides to go to college.
There was a six-part series on Google's Project Zero blog at the start of this year called the "In-the-Wild Series" which included Chrome and Android exploits. In May, Ars Technica had a post called "4 vulnerabilities under attack give hackers full control of Android devices" which detailed more exploits Project Zero had found -- there were actually 50 in the Android security bulletin that month, four of which were zero-day exploits explicitly described as "exploited in the wild" by a Google researcher.

I'm not going to argue that iOS is some super secure fortress of impenetrableness, or that Android is some kind of digital petri dish that becomes immediately infected with the 500 Viruses of Bartholomew Cubbins the moment it connects to wifi. But there are Android exploits documented routinely, some of them are serious, and some of them have been found in the wild.
Cultural sensitivity, you mean. If it mispronounced a random non-icon's name everyone would chuckle and forget about it.

Pattern matchers don't understand culture, so this is gonna be a hard-coded workaround or intentional distortion of dataset to try and achieve the hard-coded workaround.
If commits are split properly, then it's not an issue. For example, one commit could add a new method, and a subsequent commit could add one or more calls to that method.

If it turns out that we don't want to use the new method without some modifications, then the commit that adds calls to that method could be reverted insured of having to revert the entire implementation.
I remember hearing about it many years ago, and am surprised to find it alive, and well now.

I always felt that the web people were never about performance, since there were many "pure C" webdev attempts before without much success.

Nginx can very realistically handle 1-2M requests per minute on commodity hardware, and no customisation, and that's from the disk.

Were somebody really serious about web performance, I think going from millions of requests per minute, to millions of requests per second is 100% possible.

I worked on this problem around 6 years ago, when I had a task of squeezing HTTP, and network perf on some API servers close to hardware limits. The task was mostly about gluing DPDK to popular software: nginx, memcached, postgres.

I am very enthusiastic to see Libwebsockets getting glib support. Glib is a one of a kind piece of software in the C ecosystem with which you can adopt modern programming methods, and in general approach it as you do it in a big "platform" like environment like NODEJS. Glib is really undeserving neglected, and overlooked.
She also refers to high class escorts in her article. They are not forced workers.

It's really hard to believe coal miners love backbreaking dangerous work in mineshafts so much that they won't switch if they had other job options. How many tech workers(or any desk worker working in an air conditioned building for that matter) left their job to become a coal miner?
While you cherry picked examples that work for your arguments, I would say that they arent entirely correct. On x86, you can use a bounded number of drivers and boot successfully on a large number of boards. This is because things like buses, storage and display are standardized. This is not true for ARM. Every manufacturer does its own thing. Yes there are bits which have been standardized and shared, but for the most part that's not the case. As a result you cannot really make a single image that boots on a large number of boards without also including a very large number of drivers. Windows phone only ran on a limited number of SOCs, primarily Qualcomm.

Also for what it's worth, Qualcomm does update their ACPI definitions between SoC generations. They also fork their drivers to match. If there was a stable driver ABI they could probably do the same on Linux but that's not an option.

On server, ARM vendors went the PC route and just adopted standard interfaces used servers (pcie, sata, etc). This is large departure from SoCs targeting phones, tablets, and iot.
Actually, in Emacs, you only need to know one shortcut, C-H t, which runs the Emacs tutorial. Takes ~45 minutes, and gives you enough knowledge to be productive. I say that not because I'm pushing Emacs: I'm pretty sure similar tutorials exist for the Vim family.

On the other hand, I can't imagine doing 19 lessons on VSCode shortcuts. Actually, I can, I just am sure I wouldn't remember much afterwards.
"I uploaded my picture and it says I'm a monkey"

"Oh, maybe we should look into that"
yes, and now imagine if the feature was important. like sorting job applications, or medical diagnosis, or (dramatic pause) driving. Lots of organizations are looking at ways of completely removing humans from their decision making processes. 99% certainty rates would be fantastic unless you are in the 1% false positive/negative group
I was not trying to support the argument about government but hopefully trying to support to the idea that I might understand enough about the country to argue that behavior is about the culture and not about government policy influence. I apologize if that was not clear. To be honest I have not read many published papers on Japanese government policy and its effect on the behavior of the public so I could be completely wrong. I will say the removal of the trash cans change nothing as far as the need to maintain cleanliness.

There a huge number of examples about the influence of commercial advertising on the effect of the behavior of the Japanese consumer. Just spend sometime asking why the Japanese order KFC for Christmas or why beer is poured with a head targeted at 70/30.

I think that in some cases an outsider looking in that learns the culture might see things that the people on the inside miss as they where not born into the group think of the culture. I know my Japanese friends have at times asked my questions about the American cultural where I did a bit of a double take, forcing me to see things I just sort of went with in the past.

For anyone that has interest in seeing how Japan got where it is this book is really good...but 800+ pages and you better like history and details.

they have already brought so much pain to this world and yet we continue to pump up their economy .. make them even more powerful by continuing to make and buy millions of products made in China.

The CCP (not it's people) are scourge to this world and should be dealt with by all countries it has brought pain too!
The only think I’ve seen him do more of in the last few years is to critique the mainstream media. Is that what you are referring to?
It's a racist outcome because racists have a long history of comparing black people to primates, and because this results in a service that's actively worse and less useful for black people than those of other ethnicities.

Also, a 'simple error' performed by company with absurd amounts of money and several extremely public examples from its peer companies as to what not to do is, at that point, more negligence than anything.
>> It encourages future critics to never publish in the first place.

No. It is meant to encourage others to never write such things in any context. This then leads to the masses not thinking such things, after which the censorship will be unnecessary as such thought patterns will not exist. This is Orwell manifest.
Rupay is from the same corp as UPI
The comment i was replying to straight up claimed this was done with intent.

I agree with you, the algorithm needs to have more context sensitivity as you say. But nobody at google is getting their rocks off making the AI mispronounce things on purpose.

Especially since, as anyone who used Google Maps in multilingual areas will attest, the algorithm is awful at dealing with context in general. It mispronounces tons of things. In Belgium it will switch between dutch and french names for streets randomly.

Google Maps canonicalizes my address in Dutch, so whenever i input it on a website i have to deal with it "helpfully" "correcting" it to dutch. Which makes things difficult when I have to deal with French speakers...

Google Maps has a lot of problems that are causing real harm to non-us cultures, which would likely get fixed with diversity. But i would never claim these things are done on purpose.
What a clever book marketing campaign. I'm sure loads of people will be preordering off the back of this interview.
Such a cynical position. I predict there will be domestic calls in the near future to significantly curtail the US's extraordinary benevolence -- nobody seems to appreciate it anyway. And that will benefit nobody other than maybe China, which has its own history with killing innocents.
In my mind the best social network would limit people to 1 post per week (or month?). Then no one is creating more noise than anyone else, you get to what's really important, and you can actually catch up with everyone.

But TikTok isn't a joke. I'm more than a little concerned by it
For a long time I've been watching with dismay the rapid growth of Bitcoin's energy consumption. At some point it dawned on me that a global currency must be backed by a non-trivial share of world's energy consumption, simply as a signal of strength. For example, the US dollar is backed by the US military, which burns as much fuel as Peru or Portugal.

In practice Bitcoin's relative energy use may be too high, and perhaps we should discuss ways of bounding it to a reasonable amount. But we should not expect Bitcoin's energy use to be negligible.

I wonder how much space the entire contents of SciHub would occupy, if they extracted just the plaintext from all articles and packed it. It would be great being able to grep every scientific paper ever published.
It's "jargon" related to memory management development that describes a different condition.

You can run just fine with very low memory if there is no memory pressure. No allocation demand means no requirement to perform costly reclaiming operations.
Sounds like the desert arcologies from the book Water Knife: self-sustaining biospheres where the rich and privileged bubble themselves off, breathing clean air and enjoying long, hot showers.
> like plumbing or climbing telephone poles. People just won't accept that women can also do that.

You sure about that? Or is it that the majority of women don't see themselves unclogging toilets for a living? I have never seen it, but I would suspect list of female applications to plumbing or electrician school is very very short.
.. from the kernel.org maintainers, some distros / vendors offer longer support.

But android vendors can update the kernel version too, eg once along with android major version upgrade and then stay on LTS updates only, adds up to more than 7 years.
Ultimately tiktok is enjoyable and I feel happy after closing it. Western apps by comparison are filled with the culture wars and I open them less and less often. Hn included.
I don't believe any bigger cloud providers want to adopt closed unmodifiable products as a core. Windows/Hyper-V is similar from outside but it's in house for Azure(MS).
It's exactly where the issue is. It's no mistake, product management at Google isn't dumb.. here is how it works.

YouTube, for years even post acquisition made no money, kept bleeding to aquire users. At one point a revenue stream is implemented, which must keep growing to recoup the large investments. Not to mention, pure greed.

The algorithm isn't designed to promote quality content to enhance the user experience and love for the product. It's designed to keep users engaged, while allowing for as much ads time possible. So, the 10 or or 16 mins length was identified as sweet spots to allow for at least one ad placement without loosing engagement. Click bait videos aren't demoted, they work. They keep users engaged as they get promoted to watch yet another video, until brain saturation. They maximised profit, they didn't strike the right balance, perhaps too naive to imagine competition could steal from their market share.

Here we have tiktok, knowing very well they would need to be order of magnitude better to gain traction, at least where the market was already taken up by YouTube. They created an app making it easier and faster to push well cut content, with better tech, better suited UI and overall UX proven to be attracting younger audiences who tend to make trends with their creativity.

Take a good look at the YouTube app, despite the few visual improvements it feels like a decade old library system with auto play, ported to mobile phones. Look at tiktok, it's mobile first, it's fluid and design for touch interaction, the social features are right there, not outside the video in the form of two thumbs button and a thread of text blobs.

Google clearly don't understand or refuses to understand trends. They build minimalist systems , boring to look at but that perform very well, and it is now capitalist greed that set the direction of the company, the bottom line is to squeeze more and more money before the competitions finishes them. They got a few years to go on like that.
Do you have any spare invites for this service?
I don't think China wants you to see it as open to criticism. It wants you to see it as effective - particularly in areas where freedom and democracy most hamper Western societies. Infrastructure, the pandemic, the influence of tech giants, the effects of mass culture on youth, etc.
They’re neither forgotten, unused, nor is it a nomenclature used exclusively by Royals; nor are all the Royals that use this fashion dead or out of power.
Perhaps I didn’t express it in the clearest way; what I meant was more irredeemably fractured with no intent or expectation of reconciliation. When it’s split between base64 0.11, 0.12 and 0.13, it’s reasonable to expect people to update to the latest version of base64 over time—and hopefully that will eventually just be "1", but if it takes time to get there that’s fine.

The incompatible interfaces thing can be a problem in Rust and does require a bit of care, but in this particular case isn’t a serious problem; the base64 crate is almost always going to be implementation detail, not exposed publicly. With serde, yes, reaching a stable 1.0 was definitely more important for ecosystem compatibility.
Yeah, the downvote I got for this comment kind of proves my point. Which is why I rarely post or comment.

This is not stopping me from using HN as such but there are plenty of posts I'd otherwise comment on. But what is the point if they just vanish? If the goal is to only be seeing the approved groupthink, what is the point?

A possible solution is to force people to comment if they want to downvote.

I think I'll resurrect my old reader tool and ditch the HN web site as such. This little experience has reawakened an old gripe.
For CloudFlare, their workload is bandwidth intensive. So it's bad battle field for Intel because AMD offers 128 lanes PCIe on single socket. It seems that even Sapphire Rapids isn't looks good. But the weakness isn't applied to all use cases.
Yes, but this doesn't require 51%, at least as users typically use Tor.

Believing in something doesn't make it true. Also, given the poor track record of economics in the reproducibility department, I'd take that with a grain of salt.

I don't know the current restrictions, but at least in the recent past, there were limitations on the number of foreign-born sumo wrestlers a stable could have. Despite that, the few Mongolians who are able to join a stable are dominating the sport. And I think a lot of sumo fans agree that their presence has been great for sumo. I have seen Hakuho wrestle on several occasions and feel lucky to have witnessed the greatest wrestler of all time. I can't imagine what the current sumo landscape would look like without the Mongolians who have given it so much fresh life. The article is a fascinating read.

On paper, saphire rapids is a large step forward.
Compute tiles to offer larger core counts (while maintaining a monolithic topology), 512 reorder buffer entries (up from 354), 6 decode (up from 4), 2 more execution units, chips with HBM memory...

AMX might be interesting, too, although I currently stick to `Float32`+ precision, so I don't have use at the moment for <=16-bit FLOPS.

Overall, saphire rapids looks very interesting to me.
Of course, being built on an upgrade of the same node as Ice Lake means heat/energy use aren't getting better, so perf/watt gains will probably mostly have to happen on the perf side of things.

Tiger Lake clocks much higher than Ice Lake, but I'm not sure how their energy use compares at the same clock speeds. Saphire Rapids is another node upgrade on top of Tiger Lake.
That reminds me of book the way you put that with automated high speed rail.

As someone who lives very comfortably on a software engineer’s salary at a big software company, I generally avoid trying to “work around” their business models. If I’m going to use the software/service, I’m happy to pay those engineer’s salaries too. (And if it makes the product unusable, then I don’t use it).
