I'm very interested in his childhood education.

I want my kid to start early on something he is interested in too but I don't really know how to do that. I know the general rules (expose him to a lot of stuffs, watch him do things, etc.) but don't know how to implement them properly. I myself wasted a lot of time in my childhood so I guess that's why I don't know how to do it properly.
Decisions like these from companies just lead to resentment. Engineers start to feel like minority engineers are just diversity hires. In this case they are right which leads to animosity by the established engineers and a feeling of being disliked because of their minority status by the new hire. In most cases the minority engineer does not even know they had an advantage and will likely take a massive confidence hit when they find out. If the new engineer is also not as good an engineer as could have been hired had the hiring pool been larger the animosity will compound, established engineers will feel like they have to work more to compensate for the weak new hire and even though they complain, management will insist that they remain, further inciting negativity. Eventually the older engineers will leave as they feel they are now being unfairly discriminated against themselves. The insane thing is that all parties in this are correct. All of them are being discriminated against, both new and established engineers but its because of the probably well meaning actions of the HR / Diversity department.

IMO limiting hiring pools based on race or gender is not a good thing and can only lead to animosity and eventually employee churn.
They are, in fact, cheaper.

(Depending on jurisdiction, they also have other advantages like not requiring a license, being able to travel in bike lanes / greenways and avoid traffic congestion, etc.)
Assuming you have one, it might be worth talking to your HR department to clarify these instructions. Maybe there is something you aren't getting, or this is something setup by clueless management and they are unaware and would want to intervene.

Beyond that when in doubt, talk to a lawyer. At first glance to me (I am not a lawyer) this seems like it's probably illegal, but it's entirely possible there are nuances to which I'm not privy both in terms of legality and in terms of what's actually happening. A quick consult with an employment lawyer isn't that expensive and will give you a much better idea on how to proceed than HN ever can.

If you don't mind skipping straight to whistle-blowing, you can also talk to your State's department of labor, or the US Department of Labor. They tend to take such things seriously and will no doubt investigate.
To me that sounds like sexist hiring is indeed perfectly legal (towards men).
I think the best way to know this is going through the React Tutorial, https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html, and then decide for yourself.
I working to improve the animations and interaction with the game, it is just a prototype. Thank you for your feedback
There are lots of reasons other than power to want people on-site. This is a strawman.
That's was what came to mind for me as well. For digital you simply can't beat the cost of a mass-produced FPGA over having custom silicon fabricated (at small scale). Not to mention the additional design costs, EDA tool licensing, etc.

Now for hardened applications, these large nodes have their uses. But that's a very niche case.
The reason e-bikes do not have regenerative braking is because bikes don't have enough momentum to make it practical, especially compared to the efficiency loss which comes not from "cogging" but the reduction gearset.

Also, mid-drive bikes are increasingly popular because wheel motors have a bunch of disadvantages. They're currently more expensive, but that may eventually change with time. Production cost reductions may be offset by the fetish manufactures are showing for proprietary mountings, and Bosch is DRMing the fuck out of their systems.
It seems pretty clear cut to me that if your company hasn't been found guilty of discrimination in the past, then it's illegal for the company to institute "affirmative action."

That being said, it's usually the company that receives penalties in these situations, and not individual employees. If a lawsuit is made, and the lawsuit is successful (a big "if" in itself), it's not a guarantee that you will be held personally liable.

Ultimately, the whole thing stinks. I have worked in companies before where hiring based on discrimination was applauded. This was because individuals were being judged on the most superficial merits, cogs in a startup machine to be slowly ground into a fine dust. Ask yourself if you think this is a moral thing for a company to do, and if it's moral for you to go along with it. It's easy for talented people to get new jobs in our industry.
Yeah, bringing the battery inside is my plan as well, except now there's a nice exposed connector that has to be covered up. I plan on making a little cover out of some tarp and velcro for it...

I don't disagree about the automotive electronics, I guess we'll have to see if any moisture can get into them ultimately.
Boosters are not currently around 6 months. Can you get second booster now? Nope, even when you got yours 6 months ago.

Pfizer CEO also for sure is well aware that his companies vaccine did not make any meaningful difference after 4th shot against omicron and better strategy would be to make a strain specific vaccine.

I am not sure if this could be feasible. Omicron pushed through the world like wildfire. There was no meaningful time to produce or even develop a vaccine before it was already everywhere and circulating deep in community.

Omicron was very different from the cluster of previous variants. When something pops up from another direction like this then there would be probably no meaningful time to react to it.

Perhaps a little too pessimistic view. Maybe set of multiple antigenes from the cluster outer ring does the job or a vaccine against inner machinery of the virus - this should be more stable in time.
Those terms have differing reasons to why they are said, they aren't mirrored, just grouped.

They don't really have to be partisan terms either. Some are dangerous and dehumanize the other side, not just insult. Some are just stupid. Some are rude but accurate.

-

NPC = Person who isn't thinking for themselves, follows the group mindlessly.

Russian Bot = Term used to dehumanize and attribute real dissent to a disinformation campaign.

SJW = Social justice warrior. An overly PC person who goes on social media cancel culture brigades in the name of fixing social injustices.

Chud = Foreign or strange in Slavic or slang for "unattractive"? Seems to be an insult at appearance, not intelligence.

Libtard = An insult at liberals/leftists directed at their mental capability.

Nazi = Term used to dehumanize. Usually implies the person is racist.

Snowflake = Someone who gets offended easily

Fragile = Never heard this one used, usage is older than snowflake, maybe just used now because one side doesn't want to use the same term?
I'd be very interested to see what JAX can do on this problem.
In that case we need proper labelling of entities releasing certificates, so that those who want to develop knowledge and critical thinking go in the right place, opposed to those entities in which the opposite - "doctrine" - is imparted.

Edit:

> what the customer wants

On that basis, one does not see how the entity can ever emit a valid title.
I don't think the moderators work on the weekends :D
I’ll give a look, thanks for the info!
> after finishing a hunt

Which doesn't necessarily happen at the same time every hunt. There's no post-hunt retro at 1300 every day.

You're agreeing with the article that until very recently, event times were flexible and determined by processes that aren't the vibration of a piece of quartz.
> Do you somehow think that taxes will encourage innovation ?

I think that taxing large companies more than small ones might. The bedrock of capitalism is competition, and that is significantly stifled if big players with large amounts of capital can simply buy out anything innovative.
It was not clear which you claims you were referencing. Your goal of memorializing references was not clear. The request, in the form you posted, does not seem to be a productive way of achieving your ends. This may be especially true because in recent years I have noticed that "citation requested" types of comments are often used as a passive aggressive way of telling someone they're wrong, or the precursor to attacking the source once it's provided, especially on topics that have fast answers with a quick search. (including ddg in this case, which also returns appropriate results in the top 3 on both questions.)

I would respectfully suggest a different phrasing for such requests. I think I am not the only one who has noticed this unfortunate change in tone for a simple "citation requested", and so as I indicated they have have become much less productive to conversation. I have had to choose my own words more carefully in this respect as well.
I’m curious what the actual estimates of the likelihood of a self-replicating RNA stand coming together randomly are. There’s a lot of volume and time on earth where these random reactions could’ve happened.
It's extremely common to use bitfields though. As mentioned by the article, it is recommended by ARM's CMSIS and thus found in vendor libraries of all cortex MCUs I have seen.

arm-none-eabi-gcc changing its behavior for bitfields would probably break 99% of existing arm MCU codebases.
Not as common on road bikes but backpedaling is used sometimes to set up cornering position/reduce pedal strikes on mountain bikes.

E-bikes are still road bikes, and the last thing you would want is the fundamental behavior of an e-bike to be drastically different from a normal road bike. Unexpected braking is just as dangerous as going fast.

Honestly, from this point alone it makes me think the author isn't very experienced with the mechanics of higher end road bicycles. This behavior is normal and expected for kids and big box store bikes, but on a road bike at speed, this would not be considered normal operation.
What was the Facebook group? "Apparently inappropriate" is too vague to know what the problem was!
I think "Watson" was never a thing (a technology or a product). Rather it was a marketing term. "Watson" meant any solution or research project that was developed by IBM and had remotely to do with AI.

A bit like "Active*" or "NET" back in the day for Microsoft.
In the past I would recommend React because it was exceedingly simple, but easily adaptable to any kind of complexity you might bring to it. Today, it is definitely more complex than it ought to be.

To be honest, I think it’s best to learn React without hooks first. Hooks are very confusing from the start, with far too many rules and too much ceremony for an API that looks simple. Without hooks:

- Most components are pure functions of props, which is why React was appealing in the first place

- You can manage state however you like, again React’s original value proposition

- You’re encouraged to actually isolate those cases! This is woefully uncommon in many React codebases.
Yes, but only for compound types with 3-4 values, maximum.

If you need something to store 7-8 different value types, either make a class or reach for named tuple.

I tried using regular tuples as lightweight objects, it does not work.
Gives me the unpleasant thought of how much value is destroyed and lost in these mindless corporate acquisitions. Incentives are broadly misaligned with what we should want as a society, instead investors want a payday as well as founders, and the acquiring corporation wants a fresh coat of paint and has access to the finance that can make it happen and only hurts 10 years later. In the end promising human efforts are destroyed because the rewards for doing so are too great.
The speed of Python code creates its use cases. If it were to get faster higher volume applications could benefit but for my low-volume applications it works plenty fast.
Where in the world do you get _intentionally_ offensive ? Everyone gets offended now a days, I would bet very little of it is actually intentional, but people like you are putting intent into peoples actions when you simply cannot know what the poster was thinking. That is god damn offensive.
If your tasks are large enough to dominate, then the non-scalability of the goroutine scheduler and the network stack won’t be an issue. For example, if your task is compressing some huge hunk of a video and it takes a second to do it, then it will scale fine. Then again, you can get this scalability from anything, including `xargs`.
Because that tax revenue has to come from somewhere. If it doesn't come from the corporations or the 1%, guess who gets the bill?

The 2-20%. Especially those who are W2 employees and have limited options for offsetting their taxable income.
From the tutorial it is unclear what Kompute adds over raw Vulkan apart from Tensor type.
Softlayer had the idea of API-driven bare-metal server hosting (as opposed to ticket-driven or phone-call-driven) early on, which was a big differentiator for a while. But AWS came along with an even more extreme version of API-driven hosting and they never caught up.

As an example, most network or server changes you made through the API resulted in an automated email saying your sales representative would be in touch about your order, followed a minute later by an automated email saying the change was done at $0 charge.
In the UK, Family Court proceedings are secret. I agree that it's wrong; but the rationale is that this kind of court proceeding often needs participants to have confidence that what they say to the court isn't going to be made public. I agree with that too.

I think it's fine to protect the identity of the participants; but I think that if the way these courts work were more widely known, then reform would come quicker. It's a sort of Catch-22.
> I believe Cummings was disappointed that this 'data system' wasn't available before the pandemic, precisely because that few week delay putting one together meant everything.

It's very easy to say that something should have been there after the fact, and harder to build a system for an unknown-threat before you have any clear requirements.

It's also not clear to me what data a 'data system' would have provided that would have meaningfully changed any policy (and if it didn't affect policy, I'm not sure how it can 'mean everything').

What data did the government not have in March 2020 that they could have collected with some sort of pre-built 'data system'? In reality the bigger issue in understanding the situation at the time was that we couldn't identify all the covid cases anyway because there wasn't enough test resource - it wasn't the lack of a 'data system'.
Sounds like this issue has more to do with poor planning than public vs. private.
Doesn’t sound like mining Bitcoin is the right advice here. It’s pretty easy to buy crypto in the UK using one of the many exchanges available.
Ah, the El*n M*sk model of marketing.

Hyperloop? Cybertruck? Fully self driving cars?
HR only exists to protect the company from liability and lawsuits. Talk to them first at your own risk, and realize that almost no good can come from doing so. At best they will now see you as a 'problem' employee that is asking too many questions, and at worst it could start a chain of actions that lead to your termination or leaving the company (for completely unrelated reasons of course).
Can't read between the lines? That's a shame.
I worked for a large e-commerce company. I wanted to investigate putting all our support data into Watson and see what sort of recommendations it could provide, maybe a sort of auto-suggestion to help our customers. Three really funny points stand out from the experience:

1) To apply for Watson access you needed to show C-level approval, so our CEO put his name and phone number on the application (trying Watson was somewhat his idea). A few months later, an IBM marketing team called HIS CELL and asked for ME. Imagine how it felt to have the CEO walk up to me, deadpan hand me his personal iphone and say "It's for you."..

2) They told me they'd help me with the support data idea, and every meeting we set up they tried to pitch "what if we put Watson on all of your customer's storefronts, we could add a 'powered by watson' banner on every page, and you give us a cut of GMV?". I pivoted them to our plugin framework and told them to build it themselves.

3) To demo the technology, the first step was to buy a $250k server from IBM. To demo it.

Big LOLs all around, never trust big blue.
> undirected browsing as a discovery mechanism

this seems to be a thoroughly underrated way of discovery and it's so disappointing when websites focus solely on search, forcing users to know and articulate what they came for.

browsing through these random sites you list is indeed a very fun -- and liberating -- experience. thank you for putting this together!
Machine learning could beat my doctor right now.
"Using Random Forest Algorithm for Breast Cancer Diagnosis"
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8644835

Most of what the doctor is doing is a type of modern shamanism though. Person doesn't feel good, so the doctor orders a useless test, test comes back negative so the person feels better. Then we complain health care cost too much.

10 full blood panel samples a year with other bio-metric data and a data set of 20 million people to do classification on would crush the doctor over time.

This bullshit health system though makes it impossible to have any real innovation at a mass scale. We will never have personal higher frequency medical data in my lifetime that would actually hugely improve the system and cut most of the cost out.
Virtuality – A New Reality of Promise, Two Decades Too Soon
This is why I think it's somewhat of a misnomer to call it web3. I think what these efforts are trying to do is less about changing the internet and more about changing government. NFTs are trying to change registration of copyright, DAOs for registration of companies, cryptocurrencies for registration of currencies, so on and so forth.

Heck, even some are talking of crypto nations, which seem to want to replace/compete with/ complement nation-states directly.

So I see most of this stuff as trying to change governance without directly admitting it.
Lol. Maybe people who don’t have any medical problems.

There isn’t enough humanity in healthcare to begin with. Replacement of doctors with AI sounds pretty horrific. General practice isn’t where healthcare costs are going bonkers, and it seems weird to want to cost-cut something that actually kind of works in favor of bullshit.

Know what would be a great use of AI? Something real like analyzing all of the telemetry in EMRs to provide better guidance to doctors to proactively guide people. Some CVSHealth chatbot telling me whatever is a waste of time.
This is something I've tried to figure out in detail due to past similar circumstances. What you're being asked to do is almost certainly illegal. There are a couple small carve-outs for very specific situations, but I would bet almost anything your company has not set up the paper trail to make sure they're in those small carve outs. Either way, what they're doing is morally wrong and will lead to worse outcomes for both under-privileged people and everyone else.

You have a couple different possible moves here:

1) Bring it up to your company's HR, compliance people, or legal team. If you want to stay and look good, this is an okay move. Frame it as, "This probably exposes us to A LOT of liability, no? Just thought I'd let you know".

2) Report them to the relevant authorities. This is the EEOC at the Department of Labor (Federal) and your state's EEOC or EEOC-equivalent. If you're planning on leaving I would definitely do this. Gather evidence of the illegal activity first and then submit. Many states will have whistleblower protections such that what the company can do to hurt you is very limited. You may even end up getting paid for no work.

3) Develop a list of candidates who were illegally discriminated against and notify them. They can then sue the company themselves.

1, 2, and 3 aren't exclusive. You can do a combination: for instance, let the company know and report them to EEOC. If you have the means and want to do a little good in the world, I think spending a couple hundred dollars on talking to a lawyer for an hour or two is a good move as well.
I don’t know. Does google do consulting?

IBM is its own category of tech company really… Oracle would fit the bill better.
You probably can't go wrong with giving your child resources that's too expensive for other children to be exposed to for some free future competitive advantage (which translates to adult success), as a general first heuristic.
I read another commenter here mention that Python is 50x slower than Javascript. Now browser Javascript VMs underwent enormous speedup efforts over the last 12-15 years (Google chrome starting the race). Is there anything inherent to Python's design as a language (or any other technical reason) that prevents such a speedy VM being created for it as well?
These are fairly disparate things that each require a separate degree to do well. I don't think any single degree would cover all of them, and any program is going to cover other things you're not interested in.

My recommendation would to pick the one you're most excited about and focus on it. You mention in another comment that you prefer to work with other people and not do books/MOOCs alone. In this case I suggest that you find a graduate student in the relevant area and ask him/her to tutor you (i.e. give you an independent course in the topic). This might cost $50 to $100 USD per hour if you shop around (perhaps more). The goal would be to learn enough of the basics that you can pick up the more advanced things yourself.

Good luck.
Please see this https://www.indeed.com/career/semiconductor-engineer/salarie...

I promise you that there are not millions of kids. Your argument may still hold, but the was majority of children knows no one with this level of technical experience, let alone any programmers.
Is it? Really? No. In fact it's not. Name one Indian company that ever reached 1/10th of what ibm had so that it's a candidate for seeing it on the way down.

A serious insult because it'd be much more true would be to look at it's OD, culture and demise since Gerstner. Gerstner wasn't happy with a lot of IBM slop, paper pushers, and corporate BS either. That'd keep it on track rather than spurious comparisons.

Gerstner layed of somewhere around 20% of work force, sold off tons of ibm art, real estate etc because IBM was lost ... And losing money. That says something. Spurious comparisons don't.

Labeling IBM bad because it out sources to India is a vieled insult to indians and it's culture I guess. If that's the position -- not mine --- have the galiteantry and courage to just say so.

I'm reminded of the Futurama line: do you idiots where you're from? Nobody nowhere can say no to that. American culture, OD, and common sense when it's not losing money, playing golf, splashing around shareholder cash on art or tieing up innovation in BS (all of which IBM did pre Gerstner and was called out for) expects problems fixed, brings out the best in all comers, and expects comers to be value add. Thosr that cant play that game are out.

Regrettably this has one dark corner. Management isnt so good at overseeing itself. So in really bad situations they are good at shifting blame. Well nobody said it'd be easy. Let's start by not gossiping however.
back in 2016 I joined my first company as Fresher and was excited to work in the use case of Ml and was given my first project for making chat bots using IBM Watson Conversation :P
I think that is the worst project i have done in my life till now.
