One of the big things about these projects is training sound that's paired to text.

The base project spoke English because it had been trained on English text paired with English recordings. This speaks Mandarin because it has been trained on paired Mandarin text and recordings.

Amusingly, if you take one trained on English text/recording pairs and feed it French text, it will speak French with an English accent.
This series of articles spends a lot of time and energy differentiating ordinary estranged parents and grandparents from those who spend time campaigning on forums for estranged parents, and expands on a bunch of concerning reasons why parents can become estranged through no fault of their own; for instance, children can fall into drug addictions. It goes on to make the point that these forums seem to be actively alienating to those kinds of parents, who presumably seek support from forums dedicated to parents estranged due to addiction.

The thru-line for the whole series is that participation in these forums is a powerful clue, all on its own, that abusive behavior is involved in the estrangement.

>if you're straight and white and "normal"

Why did you feel it was necessary to put that in your comment? Are you upset that a specific skin color of people decided to migrate to the Midwest?

Did you witness lgbtq or people of certain skin colors being run out of town or receiving some sort of prejudice? Or are you being bigoted and just saying that due to their specific skin color and life choices they want people with different lifestyles to not enjoy prosperity?
From a quick look at what DDG feeds me, Overland Park is a nice Kansas City suburb. With a bunch of higher education institutions. And a botanical garden! This place seems like a midwestern outlier.

The town I grew up in (unnamed Iowa) now offers to pay remote workers to move there. The town has declined since I remember it in the 1980s as a fortune 500 factory town with a population of about 15,000. It has never had a botanical garden. It was always safest to be white, straight, and normie in whatever way possible if you have to be there.

I traded custom scripts on a IRC channel. People would pay me with party hats and Santa hats which were some of the most ridiculously priced assets in the game.

The macro client even had a captcha queue where other miners could earn credits by filling out the captchas other players were getting and then use the credits to have other people fill out their captcha. This way you could leave it running all night as long as you did your part . You would get a captcha if you did the same thing for too long
So I think we could say that 1) C is low level, and 2) the distance between C and what's really going on is much larger than it used to be, partly because the distance between assembly opcodes and what's really going on is much larger than it used to be.

Re VLIW architectures: I don't know enough to have a take about them specifically. But I fear moving the optimizations from hardware to software, because it's going to be really hard to optimize as well as Intel/AMD/Arm do, and it's going to be really easy to mess something up. (I don't write assembly if I can help it - I let the compiler writer do it. I don't manage memory if I don't need to. And so on.)

I can see some people might benefit from this, but I suspect that it's bleeding-edge people only. Most of us won't gain from going this route.

Note well: Just my take. Your mileage may vary.
The first thing is to sleep before sending any email back to the person who rejected you. Take some time to breathe and have someone you trust give any draft you write a read through before sending. It never helps to go negative.

Afterward, I take the time to mourn and process the rejection. It sucks and that's very human. I've been rejected more times than I can count, and at times, I was overly confident that a job was going to be mine during the interviews.

I've learned to keep going and put myself out there over and over regardless of what happens. I'm doing this right now for a job that's really calling me, like one of those 'I don't want to wake up at 60 with regret if I don't at least try.' You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

What more do you need? The value is in the data. All you need to be able to do is to be able to efficiently add to and query the database.
I get a lot of value from personal data that has been stored for decades. I recently went to buy a book on Amazon and Amazon told me I had bought this book 10+ years ago. Sure enough I looked on my shelves and found it.
"Citation" of a hypothetical? Doesn't make any sense.

Thought the spirit of my comment was pretty clear, but the point was that if technology could enable continued use of fossil fuels in a net zero manner, and in a more cost efficient way than replacing energy infrastructure, that it should be welcomed.

But instead you get a lot of commenters hating on the idea because it would allow fossil fuels to live on, even if consumption of those was net zero. Which implies they don't care about solving climate change, but care specifically about destroying the fossil fuel industry.

Yes things get replaced over time and the replacement technology will end up being whatever's most economical (in a free market) or whatever's most economical given legal constraints (in a controlled market).

There's no inherent virtue of generating power from solar versus coal if you could do both in a net zero manner. Though of course, fossil fuels are limited in supply.

Getting net zero or renewables to be more cost effective than fossil fuels is the fastest way to solve the problem. That transition would happen naturally over time as fossil fuels became more scarce, thus more expensive.

Some of what you say is true. But lately, it feels like one of the skills of management hires is simply being able to talk like you know how to do the job.

And when they then get in the company, turns out they have no better idea / skills to change what we do than anyone internally. But they just got paid 3x to join and find that out.

But hey, maybe that's the game. And maybe the dumber companies are getting hoodwinked. Join the game I guess and make out like a bandit while the getting is good then.

The raised by narcissists sub has 750k subscribers. Reddit has ~500m monthly active users. That's 0.15% of reddit. If 0.1% of people actually are raised by narcissists, that is an accurate number.... 750k people in a single place is a LOT, but it might still be representative. so yeas, it seems like there is an "epidemic" but it's more about "if all the people raised by narcissists were to be grouped in a single place it would be a lot of people". That's just a testament to how the internet brings groups of people together.

If you had a great childhood with great parents. Good for you. Not everyone has. and I don't think that 0.1% of reddit is some sort of epidemic.
The gender ratio thing is weird and a surprising reason for why people my age seem to want to work in New York City. I really don’t get it - as a non-white guy people like me are out of luck no matter the ratio.
The threat here is that "an attacker with permission to modify the logging configuration file can construct a malicious configuration". If the attacker can modify server config files, this particular log4j fixup is likely to still leave you with nasty problems.
Scale increasingly becomes constrained by organizational interfaces. At a certain point, trying to add people to an organization actually makes it less productive unless their contributions can be abstracted globally.

At a certain extent, the system must become inhuman: metrics and interface contracts are needed to prevent overhead growth.
You're right that photons interact with many materials. However, few exhibit semiconducting properties that's useful for building logic gates.

Silicon has a kind of perfect energy band gap for its valence band electrons jumping to conducting band free elections to allow electricity flow. The gap is not too small to introduce ambiguity or too big to require too much energy to move from non-conductive to conductive state. Photonics needs to find a semiconducting material/alloy that beats silicon to be a viable option.

Most research in building logic gate with light is a combination of light and electricity. The most promising recently is using Josephson junction in a superconducting electric current loop. A photon hitting the loop adds energy to the superconducting current. With enough energy the current becomes critical current, which moves the Josephson junction from 0 voltage to a voltage. The raised voltage gives off the energy and the current falls back to non-critical. Continuous photons hitting the loop causes the Josephson junction to have an extremely high frequency AC voltage. That's a photon controlled gate.

But the research is still really early and it requires low temperature superconductivity. It's still a long way to be competitive in reality.
I generally agree. I’d prefer everybody made a living wage (or better) and priced goods & services appropriately.

But, does Uber (or whatever other gig employer) actually pay that? I hate that in the US, as a consumer, I don’t know. Much easier in much of Europe, where wait staff is paid a reasonable wage and tipping isn’t expected.
While corruption may have been the source of this particular business, the fact that insurance is required by law is a good thing. The counterfactual involves a bunch of uninsured judgement proof drivers clogging the road and ruining everyone else's day/life. The problem is already bad enough now when it is illegal to do.
Yeah, and it is supposedly a software related to cryptography. Has it been audited at least? They are promoting it so much, but GnuPG has been around for a while now and loads of people have used it. What about Age? I feel more comfortable with GnuPG.
The comment you're responding to starts by saying these aren't the actual details; they're trying to illustrate a pattern of abusive arguments that provide misleading narratives, and, when contradicted by evidence, proceed to lawyer out from under the deception. That's obviously a real phenomenon; the example is just meant as an illustration of it. I'm not sure what the point of litigating it is.
I’m currently involved in hiring at a rather large tech company and I assure you that the hiring manager would be highly displeased if someone left after just a year. In fact, that is true of every hiring manager I’ve ever worked with, because hiring managers hire direct to thier teams and turnover is a PITA. Recruiters may not care, but managers and teammates do. That’s not to say we’d resent someone taking a better offer, but managers and ICs alike prefer lower turnover.

In also know that there is a point (basically staff/principal) where we are very reluctant to make outside hires who haven’t been at that level at another big tech company for a while. We’ll almost never up level someone at hire time. You have to have demonstrated impact over time and that is hard to do without 2.5+ years at the company (although I’m getting the sense that once you break that threshold, moving around more frequently can help again.)
I suspect that we are at an inflection point in history, and the United States has the factors for perfect storm. Traditional gender values meeting the pill, and Baby Boomers (the "me" generation) grappling for a last bit of control, while more progressive generations come of age. I also think that Boomers' drinking culture is relevant, as alcoholism and narcissism are correlated.

Being trans and the family scapegoat, I personally got out town as soon as I could, but that was not the end of the story. My narcissistic, abusive family conjured up a special blend of threats, saccharine and passive-aggressive letters, stalking involving the media, and misgendering/deadnaming/outing me in the will when they did croak.

Driving through Illinois during the election last year was interesting. Having grown up and currently living in Chicago, you won't see much "Trumpling" (as you put it) culture in the city proper and much of the surrounding suburbs, but that changes drastically even an hour or 2 drive out from the city. It's like an entirely different world.
Flagging because:

(1) The title is very different from that of the article

(2) The assertion it makes is most likely inaccurate (in present, actual reality)
The objection here has always been that having this amount of data about people, all aggregated in a central location, is what's harmful.
> Are there insurance products that people are really satisfied with and trust will pay out in case of event X?

I've always been happy with renter's insurance and have paid it since my first apartment in college. I pay $100/yr for a 50k limit policy. Unlike car insurance I am not required to have this, but I've always considered it to be worth it.

I also pay for pet insurance. Again, not required to have it but when I considered cancelling and self-insuring I filed a claim and was immediately paid out hassle free. That convinced me to keep it.
It would be illegal in most of the world.
Obviously, it strongly implies that Joe drove drunk. That's the point of the hypothetical.

> most smart people hiring understand that you switch jobs seeking a higher TC, in the same way businesses change course/pivot seeking higher profits

> The "stay forever and maybe one day you will get promoted", is a thing of the past. You make more money switching jobs than waiting for a promotion

These statements are FAR from universally true. My TC has more than doubled in the last 5 years without a job hop. In the same time period, many of my peers have hopped to facebook et al and increased their TC comparably. There is no one true way.
This. Axie Infinity only had traction, because the earned coin had speculative value. The traction was from people "playing-to-earn" as a job. I doubt that there are that many people playing for the fun of it. When the token loses value, there isn't a reason to continue playing.

I wish the article delved into why she believes this a bit more.
> HMs in small companies, maybe, in big companies , they dont care, they are paid to bring talent in, they don't get penalized if an employee quits after a year.

Hiring managers care because it's a big hit to your deliverables every time someone leaves and you have hire someone else, bring them up to speed, and try to get them back up to the same level of knowledge as the person who left.

If you have a team of 6 and everyone leaves every 12 months, that means you're hiring and re-training a new person every other month. And every other month, 17% of your team's accumulated knowledge/experience walks out the door. And every year, you're basically starting over with a new team.

It sucks, and that's why hiring managers give preference to people who aren't serial job hoppers.

It's actually becoming fairly common for companies to give back-weighted compensation or hiring bonuses that must be paid back if the employee leaves before two years, especially for job hoppers.
Agreed; but I don't see it as necessarily nefarious (only probably nefarious:)

In a lot of places, most people only wear seatbelt, wear a helmet, don't drink and drive, etc due to laws/regulations (and in others, they'll strongly actively fight these initiatives). We are really really REALLY bad, on average, assessing personal risks. Regulation, in part at least, is us as a society taking look at overall percentages and saying "well let's not do that".

There's a likely apocryphal story about sysadmin who was fired after event he estimated had less than 10% chance of happening, happened. Most of us assume that <50% means it won't happen, >50% means it will happen. With most events that insurance covers, most of us are aaaaawful at understanding it can ever happen to us... and we most definitely over-estimate the gracefulness, self-awareness and ownership we'll exhibit if it does help us.
> major multi-year project

I'm not sure what company you're at but there is certainly not a multi-year project in any I've worked at. There are long term _product_ roadmaps but in order to stay agile you never commit to something as big as a multi-year project. There are only individual features that get committed to. Even in core infra (heavily technical) where needs and solutions are known committed work goes out a year tops.

Absolutely you want people who delivered things from start to finish but I've never heard of those things taking multiple years. If it takes 2-3 years for your product to go to market it's a failure, regardless of whether it's an external or internal product.
I wouldn't think of a game like Runescape as one thing, but more of a collection of many things.

What you pay for is the ability to skip the parts of the game you don't like, so you can focus on the parts of the game you do like. Ideally everyone would like everything you make, but that feels more like a naive way of thinking than to worry about people wanting to skip parts of your game.

As long as "pay to skip" doesn't become "pay to win", I'd say a game is probably fine, overall, if people are enjoying substantial portions of that game, even if they're not enjoying all of it.
Playing on people's inferences (which is different from implying) is a common tactic of the abusive.
> They [content providers] want control over when and how their IP is played.

Yes, that is indeed the case. Who is in a position to enforce those controls over playback? The device manufacturers! So we are in a scenario where device manufacturers want to commoditize the content ("play anything on as many of our devices as you want"), while content providers want to restrict the content so they can monetize access to it.

Nanostudio 2 as the DAW, Pure Acid and Troublemaker for 303s. Outside of that, I think I probably own about 60% of AUv3 soft synths on iOS, 100% of the AUv3 drum machines, lots and lots of FX AUs. I own all the DAWs, but stick to Nanostudio 2 as it's a work of art - never crashes, incredibly ergonomic, and it absolutely nails touch input. All the other DAWs fail dismally on one or more of those three points, Cubasis used to be really good (version 2) but they killed any and all good will with version 3 which, two years in, is still unstable and has much worse ergonomics.
No I believe the 12 was thicker as well. It’s been something like 5 years since their thinnest phone. The 12 had bad battery life probably due to 5G.
This sounds like something a biased physics professor who values his own field more than others could also say about teaching quantum computing to financial math students. You don't need more than an overview and it's hard. What percentage of MBAs will need to analytically solve PDEs?
This one is more "distorted reality" rather than a contradiction.

They present information in a way to get you to assume things that aren't true to either paint their desired victim in a bad light or them in a good light. And when presented with clarifying data, will try to act like its your fault that you misinterpreted what they said. Even though it's what they wanted.

One tell is someone who seems to collect bad relationships. Who has a never-ending stream of stories of people just being awful to them. And their only admission of having done anything wrong is just some sort of vague platitude. It's always of the variety "I'm not perfect either" never "I shouldn't have cheated".
There are lots of other threads tackling the question of whether the device is responsible, so I don’t need to spend any time on that question, and I’m not. I acknowledge that that question is interesting to others and I bear no enmity to it, but it’s simply not relevant to my particular interests at this time.

I am making an assertion, as supported by the tweet, that a parent believes that their child’s life was put at risk by a device. The CPSC asks all parents who feel that to report their concern to the CPSC. One person’s belief is sufficient cause to trigger a report, same as it is with NTSB reporting. That’s the start and the end of my interest in this matter for this post.

The CPSC is responsible for evaluating the judgment calls you’re making, once that report is received: whether the device is responsible, whether the child can be reasonably expected to protect itself in this scenario, whether the device actually creates a material risk to children beyond just one parent’s feeling that it did.

This is the distinction between reporting (parents must always) and response (CPSC may not always) that I’m trying to make clear. Everyone automatically debates about whether a CPSC response would be appropriate, but I’m highlighting that reporting to the CPSC is always appropriate when you feel that a device put a child at risk, regardless of what anyone else feels about whether the device is actually responsible or not.

We are in the vast majority not equipped with the training, processes, and domain-specific knowledge about children’s minds, to decide that a report should not be submitted. We cannot be trained in this in any reasonable amount of time — and a parent’s free time for optional training is less than zero, in any case.

Yes, it may be found that the device ultimately isn’t actually responsible at all; but, all the same, that report should be made.
