A) We do not have effectively enforcement of IP law, and to the extent we do it is only because you already helped usher in a dystopia by centralizing power with entities such as Apple.

B) That laws are different in different places and that even in the US there are exemptions to laws should not be casually ignored by assuming one narrow interpretation of a set of laws as you have: Apple controlling the distribution model with cryptographic locks hard-codes in a subset of American IP preferences around the world.

C) Even if we ignore these details and take your argument at the face of it and accept that for "choose how to distribute Fortnite" you merely are deciding between one of two centralized actors, you seem to be carefully trying to perform not one but two sleight of hands on the moral discussion at play.

It isn't like Epic doesn't have legal control over how Fortnite is distributed regardless: if Epic doesn't like Apple's terms for their App Store in the current model, they can choose to just not give you the software at all. You are just hoping to play a super dangerous game by assigning a single negotiator between your community of users and Epic in order to try to convince them to develop their software differently, for which you are apparently willing to pay 36% more for your software (which means you must value it a lot: like, for whatever benefit you think Apple is getting you here you are willing to dig into your own pocketbook and pay multiple extra dollars you otherwise wouldn't have to pay on every purchase or subscription) and--and this is where the tradeoff is unacceptable and the subject of the following #2--give Apple a large amount of control over all software in all jurisdictions... control which they lie about the benefits of, which they have routinely abused, and which can and is take advantage of by external actors.

And really, that is the most important thing in all of this and what I'd hope you would appreciate if you watch my talk: by giving Apple control over all software on the App Store you give them the power to affect what kinds of software is allowed to be built by anyone anywhere while creating a centralized chokepoint for the enforcement of whatever rules that bad actors want (such as the inclusion of end-to-end encryption carbon-copy features in applications or whatever). Giving Epic control over the distribution of Fortnite can't usher in a dystopia.

X) BTW: note that Fortnite is attempting to be some kind of massive metaverse service with a centralized set of servers attempting to provide an ecosystem of content that they would then have centralized control over. If the issues with Apple weren't so dominating and glaringly dangerous today maybe we could be having an argument about whether what Epic is building is moral and whether laws need to exist to stop it (and instead force--either directly or indirectly--such technology to come into existence in a way that is itself decentralized).

It would be plausible, but if you examine the historical enrollment numbers it's clear that CMU expanded their CS program around the exact time that their female representation went to 50%. In essence they created more spots reserved for women, but still admitted the same number of men each year.

You'd also have to ignore that similar caliber schools have the same 20-30% ratio so CMU would have to be doing something special that MIT, Stanford et. al aren't in its applicant recruiting/marketing - that's a tough one to believe.

Continuing to believe that may be what's holding you back. There are less- and un-attractive females that are looking for a partner as well. The "bar being too high" works in both directions.

Also, in regards to longer-term relationships, if this is true:

Then they're probably not the right ones to be starting a conversation with.
The idea that men always want sex is routinely described as "toxic masculinity".

It's possible to train your memory like any other muscle. In fact, personally I think all children should spend the first couple of years in school learning how to develop a photographic memory.

It'd make the rest of their lives so much easier! Instead most people only learn this stuff (if at all) after graduation when it's not as useful as it could be.

Method of Loci is one generally used ( https://artofmemory.com/wiki/How_to_Build_a_Memory_Palace/ ) there's lots of resources out there.

But also don't neglect your physical health, and your diet etc. Get a good relationship with a doctor, shun pills etc. Most times the person is perfectly healthy it's the environment and situation that's killing them, get out to the countryside etc.
So if one corporation, let's say Skynet, built an autonomous killer robot and sold it to any interested government, who would be responsible?

Is Skynet suddenly responsible for the outcome of every situation the robots are placed in? What about the secondhand robot market? Are the governments who own the bots responsible? Are the governments responsible for errors? If your car's brakes get stuck and you hurt someone, isn't the manufacturer responsible? If a gun you own misfires due to a defect, wouldn't the manufacturer be responsible?

To me it seems that autonomous warbots are going to put the world in a tighter MAD bind. If X has killer robots, Y better have killer robots or strongly align themselves with X.

To break this down further in a sort of visual way:

- Agents involved in a bot-involved death

-- Operator

-- Owner

-- Manufacturer

-- Programmer/Engineer

-- Government representatives

-- Victim

-- Represented populace

What would make sense to me is that the represented pressure their representatives to regulate manufacturers in terms of sales and safety controls. If a sale is found to be by regulation then the manufacturer should be less liable, presuming their programmers and engineers followed safety regulations. If the sale is valid, then the operator should be responsible, otherwise the manufacturer is responsible as well. In the case of malfunction, the manufacturer should be held responsible along with individual engineers and programmers. If the malfunction was due to a gap in regulatory strictures, then the government responsible for the regulation, along with the manufacturer, should be held responsible.

See? Easy.

Yes, when you write to a file it doesn't actually hit the disk, it stays in some kernel buffer until the buffers get too big or fsync (or variants) is explicitly called. For example, in RocksDB you'd issue a few writes, and then call SyncWAL() to actually perform the IO and durably commit to disk (or issue a final sync=true write).

This is not something specific LSMs implement, it's just how kernels do file IO.

RocksDB does also additional IO coalescing for concurrent writes, though that's more about reducing syscalls cost (one write() per write group, instead of one per write) than IO cost.
For one thing, I wasn't really addressing career preferences.

Matriculating to higher education isn't really preferring one career over another, other than white collar blue collar. But with absolute surety women are going to college.

I feel like you've got multiple different hypotheses in your comment, so I'll address the big one at the start.

> Is it really so difficult to consider that career preferences are gendered? That millions of years of sexually dimorphic specialization could lead to statistically significant differences in interests, abilities, and desired life outcomes?

Consider that 60% of college students are female now, and 0% were a hundred years ago.

I strongly feel like there's very little innate attraction to "traditional" gender roles amongst women.

If you look at the trajectory of change, it's very clear that every single decade, the change in women's choices marches in a particular direction. Decade on decade, the numbers all point one way.

Which makes me think that women themselves feel traditional gender roles are very unattractive. If there was some sort statistically significant difference, clearly it's not changing the direction of the trend, much if at all.

And change is basically percolating its way through society, slowly but surely.

------------------------------------------------

Given the above:

If women's preferences were genetically or otherwise innately determined, why have they gone for such an enormous, dramatic change in their lifestyles and social situation in the last 50 years? Because women have chosen that for themselves.

My deeply held assumption, is that all our "assumptions" about "what women want" are just that, assumptions.

If you think from a perspective of geological time, the 50 years since the 1960s are nothing. That's 1 generation or less. And yet the lot of women in society has changed dramatically, and they seem to be happy about it.

Given how much change we've had, I think it's fair to say that the attitudes of 100 years ago were not genetically or innately constructed.

I assume pretty much everything in society is just a giant social construct.

Very, very little sexual dimorphism between girls and boys is down to nature.

It's 100% to nurture, not nature.
We use slack extensively. Unfortunately, slack is designed for the use case where you can easily plug in third party or first party slack apps to provide a massive array of functionality that is not natively built into slack.

Guess what happens when you are functionally prevented from using virtually all third party or even first party slack apps, just because there is so many months and years of friction to get them through the approval process? And that’s assuming you can ever get them through the approval process?

No, workflows are not sufficient. Not even within the same galaxy of sufficient.
If you think you're being routinely physically intimidated to the point of feeling stressed out or even threatened, you should absolutely speak up - those things are horrible and nothing can justify them. But as a professional, your very first reflex when facing such things should be to immediately stand back to regain your physical space, then make it clear to whomever you're confronting that you'll want clear and respectful communication from them and they shouldn't be expecting you to flinch. If this is not enough to make them immediately change their tune, you're in a toxic work environment and should plan on polishing up your resume.

I suspect it’s a coupled system—tradition and religion both shape and reflect preferences. I think it’s bad for society when women have gender roles forced on them. But I think it’s also possible—especially for the self-selecting group of highly educated people who tend to think and write about these issues—to overlook how many women would simply rather take care of their kids, at least while they’re young, compared to the work they’re qualified to do.

It is not justifiable to intentionally kill people. It is to be expected that some forms of self defence will often - even usually - kill the other party, but that's not intentional killing. Likewise, armed police are trained to shoot to incapacitate opponents. Yes, shooting a person in the centre of mass will sometimes kill them, but, that's not the intent of doing it.

This is maybe less obvious if your government intentionally kills its own citizens for some reason and you've found it important to draw a moral distinction between "We pay government officials to deliberately kill people" and "Murder" but I have no problem saying that's the same thing, stop doing that.

Who is "we"? Fracking was funded with private money. It was "conventional" technology, no edge-of-science stuff, so private entrepreneurs could afford it, and the rewards were quick to materialize.

Nuclear fusion? There's this urban myth that fusion could have been achieved if only we'd have poured more money into it, but where's the evidence? Plasma modeling requires a lot of computational power. What you have now in your iPhone in your pocket you could not have had for 10 billion dollars back in 1970. How much money were we supposed to put into fusion research? Do you think with lots of money and just a slide rule, you can solve the fusion problem?

I wanted to chime in that the same is often true of mental health fields. Most upper level jobs in the mental health field necessitate earning a graduate degree.
This is what I always found difficult to reconcile with the idea of it being a lab leak. We know what viruses the lab was working with, and SARS-CoV-2 wasn't one of them. If the outbreak came from their lab, why was the virus completely unknown to them? It's a science institute that was openly publishing its findings like any other.

It couldn't have been pre-emptively covered up either, unless they knew ahead of time this virus was going to leak (that is to say, they leaked it intentionally) and then we're no longer in reality.

Maybe there's something I'm missing, and please explain it to me if you can, but with that in mind I never quite got how the lab leak idea can add up.
That’s the spirit
Not to give too much credit to Yang, but I think he's hitting on a point that is more subtle than you're making, perhaps by accident.

I agree with you, masculinity is good, fantastic, worth cherishing. I'm a man, I enjoy my masculinity (whatever that is, yeah), and I enjoy expressing it in mostly positive ways. This sometimes means doing stereotypically feminine things, or acting in "softer" ways, which is fine. Emotional maturity is masculine.

This leads to me sometimes being referred to as a man who is "written by a woman" or an "egg" (a trans person who isn't yet out/hasn't realized it yet). These are obviously jokes, but they're still harmful jokes, because they perpetuate the idea that my good attribute can't be masculine. This shifts from toxic masculinity being a bad subset of masculinity, to masculinity being toxic by exclusion (as nontoxic traits are inherently non-masculine).

That's a really harmful pattern, and one that people shouldn't perpetuate.
When they first started a few years ago I used to visit them quite a bit, and often found interesting things, but most (all?) that I actually used ended up being discontinued a year or so later.

Is this the reflection of some sort of gender bias in Wikipedia contributors and editors?

Wikipedia's own article on it states:

> In a 2018 survey covering 12 language versions of Wikipedia and some other Wikimedia Foundation projects, 90% of contributors reported their gender as male, 8.8% as female, and 1% as other.[1]

1) Mines have had this problem for more than a hundred years, and mines from previous wars are still misidentifying targets to this day

2) Mines have also had this problem

3) Not sure this is even grounded in reality - WW2, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars showed no significant "concern for civilians abroad". WW1&2 showed the concern about life of a countries own soldiers was only important in as much as running out of them meant losing.

4) Seriously? If I make a machine that targets tanks, but I do it badly and it confuses them with school buses, the laws of wars would make me responsible. But that's also not a good argument in general, because the "laws of war" have only ever applied to the defeated.

My experience suggests that people are rarely more flexible than they need to be to meet their goals. And: why should they be?

I would say that in a case like that we would still be well within the bounds of the existing legal frameworks to assign blame according to contributing factors, strength of causality, etc. There's no legal principle that only one person can be criminally liable for murder. Therefore, if the AI is a legal person, it could be criminally liable. If its designers designed it with murderous intention, or reckless disregard for life, so could they. It would just depend on the circumstances, as would the punishment. I'm sure the law would need to be updated to take into accounts the rights of created persons, if we ever get to that point, but it doesn't seem remotely insurmountable.
