>The whole point of having a media blitz about Facebook censorship is to force a crackdown on Facebook censorship, to ensure that censorship is done as per the wishes of the complainers, rather than as per the wishes of current Facebook.

It's clear that you think that, but you're ignoring what's been written, by me, yourself, and TFA.

"The police", which you've failed to define, seem to me in this flawed analogy to be a sort of avatar of active censorship, called down by various Mafia families. Except in real life, the only reason the police aren't arresting all members of all Mafia families is that they don't know the evidentiary extent of illegal Mafia activities. It is not, as you suggest, that the Mafia can call down the cops upon other Mafia families for whatever reason -- there's got to be some illegal activity that'll hold up in court. Facebook doesn't cave to pressure from groups, or some abstract list of rules, they do whatever they think will look best to observers and... and to a certain group of people.

You suggest that all Mafia families are equally powerful, and push Facebook around. But is there a group from the list that you provided in the root comment, "the right [...] black people and LGBTQ", that is treated differently? One Mafia family has functionally unlimited power, and verifiably censors the two other groups worldwide. Which group is it? In fact, the worldwide censure of one of the "Mafia families", the LGBTQ+ Family, is plainly stated in the article. Can't be them!
Actually, I think the history of Feynmann and von Neumann is sort of illustrative. This quote in particular:

> "Richard Feynman quote: [John] von Neumann gave me an interesting idea: that you don't have to be responsible for the world that you're in. So I have developed a very powerful sense of social irresponsibility as a result of von Neumann's advice. It's made me a very happy man ever since. But it was von Neumann who put the seed in that grew into my active irresponsibility!"

This is sort of an argument for perpetual childhood... and children with nuclear weapons, playing with matches, well what could go wrong?

P.S. It looks like this:
https://www.henrirousseau.net/images/famous/war.jpg

Feynmann's lecture on physics are invaluable though and Caltech made them all available online recently, including the audio, so I don't see him getting 'cancelled' any time soon, even if the 1964 class was basically all-white-male, and Caltech didn't allow women students until the 1970s.

For everyone spooked by this. Cancer thrives on many things. And there’s little survival advantage for people who can effectively fight cancer after their reproductive age. All novel carcinogens aside(radiation, air pollution, baby powder), humans often are just not equipped to fight cancer. Certain diets probably can make it a bit better or worse, but they might not be the game changer. Our best bet is technology, like CAR T cells and whatever is invented next.

You're conflating two fundamentally different notions of similarity. The similarity among the Indo-European languages are extremely deep linguistic and structural similarities only appreciated by people who study languages and their history for a living, and known by people who are interested in languages and read about them.

The similarity between same-script languages is a superficial geometric symmetry that can be seen by anyone with functioning eyes. Most people are in the second category while not being in the first.
I was wondering if cameras started using anti-reflective glass would this prevent detection? Some of the glass I’ve looked up say they reflect less than 1% of light. How sensitive is your app could it detect 1% reflections? Thanks
> Meanwhile, I grumbled (to myself and on Twitter and probably to anyone who was willing to listen to my grumbling) about the fact that Facebook had, in fact, rolled out this feature at least two years prior, and probably much earlier than that.

Facebook had it first, not google+ circles. I was using it something like 2008-2010 during college, to keep some posts friends-only and hidden from family.
Is this a common pattern, work a big tech job for a year or two, take a big break, rinse and repeat?

I'm about to take a big break to recover from burnout, and while I don't expect to have trouble getting back into the market next year, I'm not sure it's something I could do repeatedly without my resume looking suspicious.
I've been in this situation a few times and looking back at my career, I could argue I made the "wrong" choices, but they were definitely the "right" choices for me at the time. The way I think about it these days:

1. The space and how exciting it is (AI, Blockchain, etc)

2. My personal growth (learning, but also compensation & rate of career progression)

3. The people (especially who is my direct manager)

Ideally, you can get all three in a job! However, when I can't, then every single time, #3 has contributed more towards my job satisfaction than #1 and #2. However, over-indexing on #3 alone is also sub-optimal.

Even "boring" spaces often have hard problems and if you dig into the problems, then the work can become intellectually interesting. It may not be sexy or shiny, but you need to decide how much you want to index on that. If you are getting intellectual fulfillment in your day-to-day, better personal growth (including compensation growth), and work with & for good people, then that's a pretty good deal. Don't undervalue doubling your salary. It can provide optionality down the road to work on other things, like folks have said below.

Early in my career I worked on what is seemingly boring stuff but the internal engineering problems were surprisingly complex and therefore interesting, even though my "resume bullet" for that stint may appear boring to a reader. Also, the people I worked with were just the nicest and I couldn't imagine leaving that team.

I still look back on that period as the happiest time of my professional life, even though I now make many times the compensation and work on some really externally "sexy" stuff. Nostalgia might be playing into that, but I do remember being pretty happy on a day-to-day basis.

The counterpoint is that I did eventually leave that team and that company because my career was not moving fast enough and I would not have hit the financial goals I had for my family's wellbeing.

There's a lot to unpack in the rest of your comment I'm not going to get into as it's ironically pretty tribalistic.
I am unaware of many Hackernews who had even heard of Basic Four, let alone worked there! Did you know Chuck Milden?
The problem is that it's hard to define what's meant by interesting. It could be that companies who pay well have to because most people don't find their problems interesting so they need to pay more just to get people in the door, but there can be interesting aspects to almost any job and if you're the kind of person that focuses on finding the interesting in the otherwise boring then you'll tend to find the job interesting and feel like you lucked out in some way.
BSD-licensed code yes. But LibreSSL and OpenSSL (pre-3.0) are not under a BSD license; they're under a custom license that's GPL-incompatible.
There is no reason for both approaches to not coexist: a centralized catalog managed by a small team, setting the “gold standard” for the many decentralized data producers and curators, who are incentivized to maximize their impacts (i.e., usage) by having higher quality data following the standard.

Another thing to point out: besides relying on the future promises of ML, there are already many signals that can be used by a centralized catalog for data discovery. For example: data sketches (MinHash, Hyperloglog) for joinable datasets, social signals (likes, comments, stars, etc. see Alation and Select Star SQL), lineages through data movements (e.g., Azure Data Factory and Azure Purview). If the centralized catalog uses those signals, then the data producers are incentivized to provide them for better visibility.

The stated goals of AMP made sense. But the technical specifics made things feel much slower. Specifically the requirements around a single draw meant waiting on a white screen for everything to load before showing anything. In contrast, normal pages that render as they go lets you start using the page before everything finishes. It's not great when the page changes drastically as it loads, but you can acheive a page that doesn't jump around (or doesn't jump around much) as it loads without forcing a single render.
In my notes, I put the properties as YAML in a code (‘’’yaml) block starting each heading. Easy to parse and well supported by all editors.
Game Theory eventually settled on Mutually Assured Destruction. MAD can be seen as the tit-for-tat strategy in an iterated PD with multiple level thinking (If we have crazy von Neumann, do they have similar consultants? Do they know that we think Neumann is a lunatic? etc.) and super rationality (we are all players on the same board, damaging other players reduces our own chances to grow, we should be competing against those urging for war, on either side).

Von Neumann was consultant on game theory, not on geopolitical diplomatic strategy. War generals wanted to talk about future conflicts. Von Neumann reminded them that all talk of winning future conflicts could be made moot by a single move. And he reasoned that intelligent analysts on the other side would inform their generals similarly. Both did a good job, and the generals are commended for taking things outside pure maths into consideration.

What is our solution for when Russia joins the game and gets access to its own nukes?

The Spockian rational answer is: make this question irrelevant and increase our power on the board, by making sure Russia cannot even join the game we are currently winning.

To make good decisions you need diverse expert input like this. All in all, I think von Neumann's work helped keep the nuclear war on paper, instead of reality. His input of a first strike evolved into MAD and allowed us to reach an equilibrium.

I don’t think so.

It’s hard to believe someone becomes racists merely from hearing that racism is banned.

Well then your problem would be "What fixed those values to what they are?", which I don't think is the lesser of a problem.

> because personal preferences & habits make it almost impossible to "force" using linux on staff..?

I’m willing to speculate office workers won’t care. More and more people will have smartphone as the only personal computer. So it won’t be about them not wanting to use Linux at work because they run Windows at home.
That's correct. The more jargon-y way to say it would be that for massive particles, helicity isn't Lorentz invariant.

It's an approximation that helicity equals chirality (which is what matters for weak force interactions), but this approximation is pretty good for particles moving close to the speed of light (which neutrinos tend to do, due to their low mass)

" Singapore's society seems to work phenomenally better than most other countries for most of its citizens, "

Singapore is a safe banking haven in a sea of legal risk and chaos.

Singapore was effectively an (almost) empty plot of land when it was established, and it was designed to be an 'banking/commercial haven'.

What makes Singpore 'rich' is the foundation established by the UK as having 'rule of law' and 'peace and order'.

As long as Singpore remains peaceful and orderly, where the commercial law is respected and foreign entities trust that their money is safe and they will get a fair deal, and that ability is not available in surrounding nations (which it isn't, even today), they they will do well.

If you're a Western company looking for a 'gateway to Asia', then Singapore is a good choice. It was literally built to be that.

It's a little bit how Swiss standard of living is supplemented by the fact that 1/3 of the world's offshore money is parked there, and that surplus benefits the locals.

Like a more complicated version of having 'Oil Wealth'.

It is what it is, and we have to be careful about criticism from afar, but that doesn't mean we can't be critical.
Chess Grandmaster Kasparov on Mob Mentality and Groupthink
For what its worth, a final advise for those fresh graduates and college students. Don't take too seriously what your learned from books in school. They are not the gold standard the society measures things by. You got the wrong impression if you think your professors taught you that. They knew better. Don't take too much pride in your degree or in your specializations. They are nothing.

If you do not learn this now, your managers who maybe only has an associate degree from a community college, or from a school you look down on, will make you learn that soon enough.

These are not important things. An important thing is to keep an open mind and keep learning, so you are continuously employable. You can congratulate yourself when you are as old as me and can still do new things.

As a former Staff Engineer, if you work at a company like this, I would leave.

The language in this article is common to a particular type of staff engineer that graces the halls of growth tech companies. It's the analog of mid-level bureaucrats at government organizations or academia.

What "in the room" signifies is that you're working at a passive aggressive company that either lacks (1) proper direction so it can have relative autonomy between teams, or (2) requires technical babysitting because the average quality of engineer is low. Both are symptoms of growing too fast or not needing technical competence because the business is doing the heavy hitting.

Eh, a better model I've found in the general case is negotiating strength. In that model the people who were perceived to not be able to get a better salary also get shit work to do.
Okay that's perhaps an unfair comparison. But would you want Cantor in a depressed state running something important?

The concept of the 'universal genius' or the 'universal manager' and so on seems nonsensical, and yet we see those themes pumped out constantly. Expertise in one area does not magically create expertise in one area, and the mental skills involved in complex higher math don't make one an expert is human behavior or international relations. That's what I was trying to get at, perhaps poorly.

For one, the hubris of obviously-uninformed statements such as this one.

But more like: the inputs, processing, and outputs have much more complicated relationships than this causal chain that you have described. Modern neuroscience and research into NCC have shown that the brain, obviously, is not so simple.
> but I don't think anyone would say it's a no-brainer that a law prohibiting the sale of that health drink exists on the right, strictly-exists-to-curtail-individual-freedom side of of your spectrum.

If I understand your double negative correctly, then I am nobody. A law like that does strictly restrict freedom - it makes it illegal to do something which does does not itself restrict other's freedoms. It trades freedom for safety, instead of balancing the freedoms of different individuals.

Whether such a law is good or bad is besides the point - such a law would strictly reduce freedom.
Personally I hate all of them. Companies like these are just harmful to the market in my experience.
Curious how much would you be prepared to pay per month for your ideal search engine?
Yeah, I've always been impressed with how well GPT3 can give cogent responses, but I've never seen anyone show how to get it to give truthful, informative responses while behaving as a chatbot. Could you feed structured data into the prompt text? like average response rates in the customers area, whether there's capacity to support, the state of engineering teams?

Having never seen anyone try it, my gut says it will work reasonably well outside of already known failure modes. (The tendency to loop, make up stories, or joke/cuss people out)

Voting systems is one of the few political things I'm very passionate about (those of you that know me will know I won't shut up about this). I really do think this is one of the most important things we can do to fix our democracy. I've always been saddened that Ordinal systems have captured the public eye but Cardinal systems haven't. Everything I have read suggests that Cardinal is leagues better: scalability, ease, verifiability, resistance to strategies, and vse. I'm really happy to see more and more Approval initiatives (I'm a bigger fan of STAR, but Approval is good enough that I'd shut up about voting).

I also suggest other users look for Clay[0] in these threads. He's the co-inventor of STAR and writes a lot about voting. Also a HN user.

Only tangential but the only time I really fly into a rage at tech anymore is when a (mobile) website uses the dark pattern of placing a link somewhere where 0.25 sec after load it will be moved down by an ad. When it happens I attempt to click the link, click the ad instead, hit back, and hit the ad a second time. Usually, I'll back out of whatever site this happens on and never go back.
Looking forward to see Octavian development then, it looks exciting! Dealing with triangular matrices and data dependencies in other linear algebra routines such as triangular solves and factorization will surely be an interesting benchmark for the approach, since such difficulties do not arise in matrix-matrix multiplication. Anyway, that's surely a good starting point for Octavian.

Just one clarification: MKL_DIRECT_CALL or MKL_DIRECT_CALL_SEQ is not about figuring out how many threads to use, it's about turning off checks on input arguments sizes, e.g. if m>lda, or negative lda or m or stuff like that. All these pedantic checks (which comply with the reference BLAS implementation in Netlib) are often times not done anyway in experimental linear algebra packages that do not aim at providing a compliant implementation of the standard Fortran BLAS.

Richard Dawkins once used the word "humane-ist" (and humane-ism) to be considerate of other species. Though I like the idea, the word feels a bit "stretched"; I don't know why. (Maybe it's the humanist in me that's speaking :-))
