wow. do you think people of color should somehow separate their skin & culture as to maintain 'professionalism' in the office? you can not 'separate' race just as you can't separate ones gender or sexual orientation. it is simply a fact and truth of that persons existence.

the mere existence of us queer people is not flaunting anything. the expression of our true selfs does not 'flaunt' and thinking it's some kind of attack on 'professionalism' is just backwards.

I don't think you've traveled so much if you think that's the implication, or at least not for long enough to soak in how values differ between cultures.

No. That's not the implication.

I don't know you well enough to tell you what the differences in our value systems are.

Since you do ask, if I were to speculate, I would guess you value your life and comfort more than I value mine. I was never fearful of dying of COVID, or of hospitalization, even pre-vax. Americans place an exceptionally high value on their own life and comfort relative to most cultures. I've also been in several hospitals in developing countries, and that's also not something which has really concerned me.

On the other hand, I suspect I am much more concerned about long COVID than you are.

And no, we don't know much for sure about COVID, but we have to work from best available evidence. If there's e.g. a 50% chance that a booster shot increases protection from 30% breakthroughs to 15%, and a 50% chance it does nothing, that means I've reduced my odds of breakthrough by (30-15)*50% = 7.5%.
We’re bad as a society at talking about the mixed effects of social change. Undoubtedly, social changes, including the Internet, have made things better for some minorities. But progress in the treatment of minorities shouldn’t overshadow discussion of the majority of people. Are the majority of teen girls better or worse off as a result of social media? That’s a really important discussion to be having.

In the worse case, companies like Facebook and Instagram can point to improvements in the treatment of a small number of people to provide cover for activities that hurt the majority. After being excoriated in the 2000s for destroying people’s livelihoods, Wall Street refocused the narrative by publicly backing various social justice issues. Without detracting from the value of those issues themselves—the finesse with which these companies changed the conversation should give everyone pause.
I doubt I would get approval for the resources needed to do a full restore rehearsal and I know we have gaps.

Xi is seeking 3rd term, he's initiating populist moves to appeal to the masses. That's more or less it on top of some medium/long term strategic shifts to improve self sufficiency (from US) which takes time to unfold.

>preparing for war

That's still 15-30 years away over TW, and by that time PLA will be strong enough to deter a big war with US. PLA is modernizing and preparing for war because that's what competent militaries do. PLA has been incompetent for too long. Keep in mind PRC military budget is still ~2%, if it's preparing for war expect this to double/triple. Plus PRC has been selling off oil reserves to control oil prices. It would be hoarding if preparing for imminent war.

The first chunk off his 2011 special is all about his own mortality.

I'm not sure why people assume naivete when others raise the possibility of different economic models or take any issue with current modes of resource distribution.

I actually find it naive that they seem to believe that there are exactly and only two possible economic paradigms, prescribed by natural law and existing at polar extremes.

In this view, our only options are somehow unfettered laissez-faire capitalism or rank communism.

I think the weird thing is that a bunch of people in tech understand this well _with respect to tech_, but often fall into the same p-value trap when reading about science.

If you're working with very large datasets generated from e.g. a huge number of interactions between users and your system, whether as a correlation after the fact, or as an A/B experiment, getting a statistically significant result is easy. Getting a meaningful improvement is rarer, and gets harder after a system has received a fair amount of work.

But then people who work in these big-data contexts can read about a result outside their field (e.g. nutrition, psychology, whatever), where n=200 undergrads or something, and p=0.03 (yay!) and there's some pretty modest effect, and be taken in by whatever claim is being made.
Sorry about that, I assume everyone is familiar with difference in bullying rates and types by gender. There’s quite a bit of difference on how girls bully and are bullied [0] and there’s lots of statistics and it all seems to echo the same thing.

This was referenced in the article for how Facebook knew it’s stuff affected girls differently than boys.

I’ve read a lot [1] on how social media, in particular, disproportionately negatively impacts girls.

I don’t think we only talk about this, but because it is more significant it comes up more, I think.

Again, I don’t think this is a reason to blame girls or individual girls, since much of the bullying is not caused or targeted to girls. But it affects girls differently.

completely different experience in canada.

all the A&W restaurants are clean and courteous, amazed at the employees commitment at a probably min wage job.

1)you are greeted at the door as you enter, open the door as you come and go for you.

2)if you are eating indoors, they will bring the food to you like a sit down restaurant (just you paying up front).

3)they come by and ask about refills, or ordering any other items

4)come by and offer treats.

5)all the food is made to order.

6)the quality is good, hormone free quality beef.

my understanding canadian AW is operated by a diff company than US AW, so maybe different policies and practices
there are definitely cultures that were more accepting that the US in the previous say 100 years. I know an example is 3rd gender in India as an example.

It does seem like the US took a step backwards. But from like a tiny percent. If queerness was say at 5%, it goes to 1%. and now we're at like 70% type of analogy.
Wait until they find out about the fact that all new BMWs come with heated seats, but you need to pay a monthly subscription to have them enabled.
Poor diet and exercise produce a fairly steady burden on the health care system. We need to provide more health care than we would if people ate better and exercised more, but as diet and exercise deteriorated over the decades there was plenty of time to slowly expand the health care system to meet the increased need.

COVID places a much more dynamic burden on the health care system.

It's similar to the way there are many people could manage to afford a $10/month expense for the next 10 years ($1200 total) but would have a very hard time dealing with am extra one-time $200 expense.
Yeah, reading the title I thought it would be an image generated by a CNN or a GAN or something, or at least a chatbot piped to a (possibly generated) 3d model but it's nothing like that.

Maybe they're trying to say "AI" to mean "aritifical person" like in William Gibson's Idoru... but it's not even close.

It's one of the most egregious uses of "AI" I've seen in the last few years and I fully expect people to come up to me and say "have you seen the latest AI from Korea?". I'll be in the corner, pulling on my pigtails.
Seriously, I've worked at companies where everyone loved whiteboards, and I've been doing this work for almost two decades, but doubt I've seen more than 100 total lines of even pseudocode written on whiteboards, outside lectures or interviews. I doubt I've written more than a dozen such lines myself (again, barring interviews). Maybe some places work very differently from what I'm used to? TV shows and movies, even ones that are relatively down-to-Earth (Silicon Valley) love having programmers write code on whiteboards, so maybe that is how lots of us operate, I've just managed to never be around that kind of culture, somehow.

[EDIT] of course there are other, practical reasons a show or movie might have their characters do that, but I'm just offering the possibility that that more closely reflects common programmer experience than what I've seen first-hand does.
I feel like a broken record but I'm in the same boat. I can't stand a watch that has to be charged daily or is useless. After switching from an early android wear with ~30 hours of battery life to a Garmin watch I just can't imagine being stuck with nightly charging anymore. Countless times I forgot the charger at home on a trip and basically had a fancy bracelet for the week. I don't understand why there seems to be 0 focus on extending battery life, I can't see buying an Apple watch until they get it to at least a week with normal wear and 3+ days if I'm doing hour+ fitness activities every day.
For creating high-quality content that people actually want to pay money for, and keeping it up to date? Of course, you can lay off most of these people and try to survive using the existing material (which Treehouse apparently wants to try), but, particularly when coding is involved, content gets obsolete really fast...
Sort of, indeed. I’d say this is a fuzzy evil (psycho kitten?) trolley car problem where you don’t know anything precise or accurate about either side.

And, well, “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” is a good starting point until you can make actual judgement calls about the individuals. If one of the infants was the Antichrist, good call. If one of them was the only one smart enough to conceive the equations that unlock virtually free energy or the social engineering required to avert a national disaster, oops.
This all applies to other smart watches: getting the vibration on my wrist for notifications is the killer feature. When I travel without it, I miss so many notifications because I didn’t feel my phone vibrate. Similarly, having the vibration on my wrist makes a big difference in not sleeping through my wake up alarms. I can’t recall the last time I slept through one.
I think we should look at one step further - RISC-V. Open source is the best way to ensure consumers don't get shafted by someone doing the Intel model again or Apple keeping M1 limited to their devices.
You're correct. US documents generally have race and ethnicity separate, with Hispanic/Latino origin being an ethnicity.
Truthfully, aren’t the only developers who are really affected by this decision mega-corporations anyways? Epic had $5B in revenues in 2020. Should I feel indignant which greedy mega corp gets more money? Apple already lowered the commission to 15% for small developers (under $1M annually) where the additional income really matters.
If you're going to use multiple quantities to summarize a distribution, wouldn't using percentiles for all of them give you the most information? The mean and standard deviation could then be estimated from that data.

Why will people die, it isn't an automatic insulin pump, surely the same issues exist in pricks and existing cgm tech at existing reliability levels. I'm mobile at the moment but they was an article about only one company would provide the cgm tech and apple had invested, there some reason too the analyst suspect cgm - I've made it sound quite flimsy but it wasn't (or at least didn't sound so) will find and report back.

Perhaps same with pricking, if it doesn't correlate with how you're feeling test again, cgm can provide a guide and if in doubt prick. I still think at 99% confidence it would be game changing

I find this complaint surprising. You can turn notifications off. I have everything disabled apart from health metrics on my watch.
An investigator needs to rule out all conceivable ways their modeling can go wrong, among them the possibility of a statistical fluke, which statistical significance is supposed to take care of. So statistical significance may best be thought of as a necessary condition, but is typically is taken to be a sufficient condition for publication. If I see a strange result (p-value < 0.05), could it be because my functional form is incorrect? or because I added/removed some data? Or I failed to include an important variable? These are hard questions and not amenable to algorithmic application and mass production.
Typically these questions are ignored, and only the possibility of a statistical fluke is ruled out (which itself depends on the other assumptions being valid).

Dave Freedman's Statistical Models and Shoe Leather is a good read on why such formulaic application of statistical modeling is bound to fail.[0]

Yes, race is not a biological concept. But it is a social construction. People are treated differently based on the color of their skin. That different treatment is a problem for society, and does not vanish just because we tell people that race is not biological reality.

Dealing with that problem isn't easy, for a long of reasons. There's a long history of racism that has left a lot of people distrustful. And there's a shorter history under which "racism got fixed in the 1960s and therefore any remaining problems must be your own fault". Together, that makes it almost impossible to talk cogently about racism.

Race-the-concept doesn't get discussed because racism is the issue. There is talk about what criteria racists use to decide who belongs to what race, and that's useful, but mostly in an academic way because it doesn't seem clear how to make use of it.
> If the vaccine is safe.

Something you don't know. If you want a sincere discussion you might want to at least admit the obvious.

> If the vaccine is cheaper (directly and logically).

First of all you don't know if it's cheaper. Second, people are free to pay for anything they want regardless of how cheap it is. I'm sure the vast majority of vaccine-sceptical people would readily pay for their own tests.

> If tracking the vaccine is easier.

Why do you keep with the 'if, if , if'? I did not make any assertions or assumptions that intersect with your ifs whatsoever. All of your 'ifs' are completely irrelevant, and I'm guessing by the fact that you start explaining every supposed hole with an 'if', that you understand that you can't even verify the validity of these supposed holes you found.

> Why add the natural immunity workflow? It doesn't make sense.

Because natural immunity is more effective and some people do not want to get the vaccine?

> You've just added a bunch of complexity for no stated payoff. Again, this entire argument hinges on the first question being answered "no" or "maybe not."

I've stated multiple payoffs multiple times already:

- We do not know the long-term side effects of mrna vaccines.

- MRNA vaccine efficacy is lower than natural immunity, and all data points to MRNA vaccines wearing off significantly after 6 months.

- Some people may not want to get the vaccine for other reasons, the actual reasons are completely irrelevant - in a free society people get to choose what biologically active substances they inject into their own bodies.

> You yourself admit that that is your actual reason:

So looks like you did notice one of the reasons I gave you? Interesting that you quoted it, yet completely ignored the substance and failed to challenge or respond to the actual point.

> If the vaccine does literally nothing for natural immune people,

Stop with the 'ifs'. If you don't know the validity of your own point, don't make the point.

> for the other stated benefits (logical, tracking, and cost).

These other stated benefits coming directly from your imagination right? Or are these the 'if' kind of benefits?

'IF the vaccines are a perfect solution, we should forcibly vaccinate everyone.' - cool story bud
All good points.

>The hard capture business is the national security business.

This one is what makes it particularly messy. Everything in space is somehow related to defense and natsec, even if it doesn't seem so to an outsider. Even with hypothetical agreements in place, touching defunct space assets is just a huge can of worms, even with a laser beam. And anything that can capture a satellite is an outright military tech.

Same goes for on-orbit refueling and servicing, although these are a bit easier since they typically deal with functioning satellites.
The more expensive chips subsidize the cheaper ones. If they put ECC in low-end models, they would have to charge more for them, because fewer people would buy the high-end models.

Also, there's some cross contamination between price point and market segment here. Nobody just buys a CPU, they buy a CPU wrapped in a laptop. So Intel's real customers are laptop manufacturers, not you. So the low-end chips have to appeal to a model that the laptop vendors want to introduce. That takes the form of thin & light laptops (or low-energy-usage "green" desktops for office workers).

Adding ECC support adds heat and cost and die size. All things the thin & light market do not want under any circumstances.
Wow, that's a bummer.

It's a pity he didn't have Dick Shawn's timing.
And phones are for making calls with. So why do we need these fancy displays and fast processors?

A smart watch is a different category of device, even if it adopts the form factor, than a watch. Just as a smart phone is a different category of device than a rotary phone or old flip phone cellphone or feature phone. If you don't want or need the capabilities they offer, just don't get one. But it's rather inane to try and compare a smart watch and a watch and say, "Well, all I need is for it to tell time so this thing is worthless." For you, yes, for people who want the other features, no.
People use Rust as an example when talking about Go because Rust could live in the same space as Go, and more people know about Rust than Haskell/OCaml/SML. I think OCaml should be what Go could be compared to, as when Go was created it was already solid[+]. Rust came after and took inspiration from OCaml and others. People criticize Go because Rust learned some important lessons from other languages, and Go didn't. Some people will argue that it's a matter of taste, but some Go users would love something closer to ML (https://go.dev/blog/survey2020/missing_features.svg, https://go.dev/blog/survey2020-results).

[+]: Of course there's the multicore story. OCaml is soon getting it (in a backwards-compatible way even!) but at the time Go was created it wasn't ready. Still, from what I remember there were some multicore ML that existed, and considering most of the work that went into Go was around the standard library and tooling, they could easily have made popular a different language. Some people will argue about "simplicity" and "Go being close to C", but I think that by "simplicity" most people mean "actually good tooling, GC'd, compile to a single binary fast".
Yes, mine too, I don't believe the commenters have actually used an Apple Watch.

Watching the stream this morning juxtaposed uncomfortably against the discussion earlier this morning about how Facebook knows that Instragram is damaging to teen psyches. So much of this update is focused on the cameras and the ability for the phone to almost automatically make people look good. I can't help but see this as a way of capitalizing on the insecurity that's being generated by the social media platforms. I get that Apple has to try to keep up with the camera arms race or other phones will win over the market of people who post to social media. But it's also saddening to see how much effort and dev work goes into feeding this cycle of insecurity. The more Apple can make people look "better than any filter", the more people are going to feel crushed when they look in the mirror.
