> the problem is and always has been that the particular school you attend has too much weight

Could it also be that they want the better education? The names on the buildings aren't the only differences.

The problem is that demand is way too high for magnet / college prep type education. The solution is to designate more schools as such but as with anything the devil is in the details.

Mutate is a library to synthesize text datasets using Large Language Models (LLM). Mutate reads through the examples in the dataset and generates similar examples using auto generated few shot prompts.

Currently supports few Shot text data synsthesize for text classification datasets using Causal LLMs ( GPT like ). The roadmap includes synthesizing other types of text Dataset synthesis - NER , sentence pairs etc and Fine-tuning support for better quality generation
Is that capital X and O? So you need to hold shift as well?
Two points:

1. For all the logical/social contortions, judgment calls, distorted selection standards, tuning, and subjective assessments involved to create the "desired" class of students (thousands and thousands of hours of applications, reading, discussion by admissions officers, students writing essays that emphasize their overcoming disadvantage)... how much better an outcome or result does this create than simply allowing some objective standard to dictate who gets in, or random selection above a certain bar?

Is there any way to say how much better we do for so much effort? Other countries apply strict bars for admissions -- do they do worse? Why do we think that this produces any much better outcome? Is it just to make us feel better?

2. By what principle are administrators of universities limiting their actions or extent of tuning? Do they apply this believed solution to university admissions just because that is their domain and have it under their control? What makes them think that this is the solution to inequality? And if this is the solution, why are they so meek about it and don't instead completely overemphasize every group that needs more representation?

How do they know when they've achieved the goal? How do they know whether a new goal needs to be set? When "equality" on some dimension is achieved, will that be the end of it? Is there an end to this? Will other groups be not so lucky to get such attention when their turn comes?

Unsatisfactory answers to all these questions make me not support how AA is implemented in the US.

I'm a anti war person, I hate war from bottom of my heart. I can understand your emotions, but I can't get the point that you are blocking Russian individuals and not RU government.
Today you decide with emotion what will be next? I don't know. Maybe you start blocking EU citizens too simply because we will not allow Ukraine to join the European Union just like that.
I see it simple - from my point of view Ukraine has big problem with corruption & low transparency in general.

Why should the company get the right if first refusal?

Why do you assume compensation is the only motivation? Countless studies show that bad management is the primary reason for leaving.

By your argument, if I’m being sexually harassed at work in such a way that I can’t likely win in court (never done in front of others), as long as my current company matches any offer I get, I’m not allowed to leave?

Why does the company get the benefit? If I can’t go to a new company, why can you fire me? It’s absolutely impossible to prove every infraction that could be done by the company or employee.

a rival technologist questioned the mathematical theory behind Ethernet, telling Mr. Boggs that it would never work with large numbers of machines.

His response was unequivocal. “Seems Ethernet does not work in theory,” he said, “only in practice.”

>the US, with its uniquely devolved set of educational authorities and standards is alone in the developed world in terms of the inequality of education offered to its children.

In terms of primary and secondary education, absolutely. In higher education, inequality is common across countries, but higher education has a much smaller average effect on actual life outcomes than childhood education. Yet somehow reforming the school system (and the avaricious correlation between property taxes and outcomes) gets a lot less political oxygen.

It's in part this process of learning new encounters I'm talking about.

In the beginning of Dark Souls, you can kill every enemy pretty much the same way. Then gradually you need to use more mechanics to get forward. Very little of it is actually mechanically demanding. What's demanded of you is that you observe and correctly assess the situation, that you recognize that what you are doing isn't working, and the solution isn't to do it harder, but to find another solution.

The biggest problem most new players have is that they try to play too fast and they don't react to what's in front of them. They mash buttons and try to do everything at once. They approach every situation the same way, probably rushing in and probably pressing every button on the controller in a mindless flurry. An seasoned player will almost certainly play slower than a newbie because they're playing a lot more deliberately.

You have people playing these games with voice commands[1] and DDR mats[2] and whatever. If that isn't evidence this isn't a test of dexterity, I don't know what will.

I've also seen this far more often, especially when there is a major change in a C-level position.
The basic idea is that there are lots of positive feedback loops, so initial conditions matter, and people can end up in a spiral up or down. The theory goes that adjusting things along the way can correct for those positive feedback loops.

There are two big problems though:

One is that it tries to correct by using race as a proxy. Middle class black americans and African immigrants get the advantages, poor asians get left out no matter how hard they work, and poor black americans get forgotten.

The second mistake is assuming that the tweaks are effective and don't have unintended consequences.

How else would you recommend they approach the situation? Should the other woman not have been bothered to interview you?

Maybe a more generous interpretation is that people are flawed, and they're making an effort as imperfect as it is. I I feel the alternative is a catch-22, and everybody be damned regardless of the motive, effort, our outcome - nothing will be good enough.
> Ukraine's (and any country's) agency is beside the point.

No, it's not.

> Russia made clear that it considers further Nato expansion an existential threat.

Well, yes, of course; if you are trying to justify something as flagrantly out of line with international law as what Russia is doing, that's what you are going to use as your propaganda line to the international community. Of course, a very large portion of Putin’s argument in, e.g., his war announcement speech wasn't about this existential threat, but about the historic territorial extent of the Russian Empire and the USSR and the stab in the back to the Russian people delivered by the officials of the latter alienating Russian territory to create Ukraine and then allowing the Soviet Union to fall. So even while sometimes claiming an existential threat, Putin reveals that that isn't his real motivation, but instead his own “idealistic fantasies of what is right and wrong”.

I have only ever read the Wheel of Time by Sanderson, but the dialogue was enough to convince me I never needed to bother with him again. Meanwhile, I find King to be probably the best American English writer that I've encountered. By that I'm really only talking about his use of the language, and what a pleasure it is to read. And of course, dialogue is a part of that. This is all subjective of course - that's just how I feel about it.
> professional staff to executive and management personnel

I don't see how that's just secretaries. As a programmer I am:

a. A Professional

b. Staff

c. I work for Executives and Management Personnel.

So this basically means programmers are also in this bucket?
To note, there are many other mechanisms to adjust the playing experience than a difficulty slider or an explicit "easy" mode.

I think a lot of us prefer a more natural and "legit" integration of different paths into the gameplay. It requires more effort and creativity on the developer side, but it also allows players to move from laid back/easier playing to more demanding play in a seamless way.

To put it in your terms, I prefer games where the player chooses _in game_ what they are and what they aren't capable of, instead of dealing with settings and weird modes where you don't even know what they effectively mean and how well they would fit you.
> “I do feel apologetic toward anyone who feels there’s just too much to overcome in my games,” Miyazaki told me. He held his head in his hands, then smiled. “I just want as many players as possible to experience the joy that comes from overcoming hardship.”

It's been great to see how their games have inspired so many people. If you go search any of the subreddits for their games, it's not rare to see testimonials of how the game "saved their life". It helped them learn to believe in themselves. To believe that they can change and overcome the challenges that are facing them, things they previously despaired were insurmountable. To use terminology from the Dark Souls series, they were hollow and through mastery of the game they were able to reverse it.

Although they didn't have quite such an effect for me, these experiences nevertheless have built confidence that I otherwise wouldn't have. Just because something is difficult, just because I don't understand it now, doesn't mean it will always be that way. If I keep at it, if I think and experiment enough, the thing at hand becomes legible and one day soon, doing that thing that used to be so hard will become second nature. It's an empowering experience.
No other games give me this feeling of melancholy, longing and revisiting once glorious places that are now dead and faded. Elden Ring is his magnum opus and I don't know how he tops this. What a tremendous achievement.

If you haven't played Elden Ring, give it a try - you may be surprised how absorbed you are.
Indeed! But it can be difficult to talk about any kind of new idea on a site full of people who are driven into uncontrollable rages when they see someone deviating from a social convention, however minor.
> Affirmative action makes the world a more just place.

No it doesn't -- race-blind admission standards make the world more just, affirmative action make people like you feel as though they make the world more just. Big difference.

There's obviously no evidence to suggest standardized evaluation of academic excellence favor any particular racial genetics. The fact that today in the US, race-blind admission causes over/under representation of certain racial demographics is thus entirely due to social-economical and cultural factors. We can therefore expect that once those factors are equalized, then the results of a standardized race-blind admission process should naturally reflect the racial demographics of the general populace.

Unfortunately, just as those social-economical and cultural factors are the cumulation of damages done by racial oppression over many generations, so too its undoing will take generations to fully accomplish. And yes, that does mean you may likely not live to see that day. But the seemingly easy path of using affirmative action to force an outcome so that you can pretend to live in a just world is entirely the wrong way to tackle this problem, and will only serve to make the world worse for everyone involved.

That's because of the salary listing. Colorado seems to be aggressive in saying this law applies to telework even if it says "no Colorado applicants accepted". I hope they manage to make it go nationwide.
That is definitely a phat core but I wouldn't expect it to be exactly trading blows with Zen3 or alder lake given (that depends on one's definition of "around the same" I suppose) since the backend seems quite narrow. That might be all they need for AI however, going to watch the video tomorrow. It has big caches by the looks of things but the throughput is more like Zen2 depending on what they can clock it at.

Either way I don't think anyone is seriously arguing you can't make a high-performance RISC-V process, but the thing is that scaling from (say) fast at memory and basic integer operations all the way up to all the sometimes wacky shit people want from their desktop machines will probably not be easy. It took Apple decades to do it with an ISA they helped design themselves.

This is pure, 100% anecdote, but, I remember at my first tech job, there were basically 3 teams working on different aspects of the product. I, a white male, was on a team with 3 other white males. There was another team of around 5 or 6 who were all Chinese. The last team was probably 10-15, all Indian.

All these people were damn good at their jobs, but it was rather interesting how the demographics fell.
Its tricky. If we look at games as art, and I think we can agree that From's one are complex enough to warrant it, on one hand I agree that cutting off someone from experiencing your art seems silly and injust, but then you think of other media: a dyslexic person will not be able to experience a complex book like a non dyslexic would. Is it right to simplify the book to only use simple english or would that compromise the book? Hard to tell. I can see the argument for which games can be made more inclusive more easily than other media and thus they should, but everything is built for a target audience and only works best when aimed at them. Im really on the fence here. I would like more people to experience From's work, but I feel the work itself wouldnt be as memorable if Blighttown was less hopeless (yes even if it was optin, as youd give into temptation)

I was in US before but not any more. I would say there are subconscious traits in people which are influenced by Caste more than anything else which I started picking up when I started working. I grew up in a very caste agnostic and liberal city in India. There are actually numerous divisions in society which may exist more in the rural areas than urban but it is just the way people cluster. I want to put forward a few points without any specific order

- Have found regional identities to be stronger than others. Some regional identities based on languages and ability to form together as a group are much stronger than others (Punjabis, Gujaratis and last decade or 2, Telugu people)

- Some communities in India like business communities of Jains and Marwaris are quite closed like Jewish folks in some instances. They do not allow other folks inside their sanctum

- Fights are mostly a symptom of other issues - limited resources, significant population and a lot of it are kept alive by the democratic nature of the country where politicians exploit the divisions

- Affirmative action has made it much easier for people for downtrodden communities (SC, ST) to get Govt jobs, promotions etc. However a lot of these benefits are only accruing to second and third generation of privileged people from their caste and festers resentment in middle class whether urban or otherwise including myself who is classified as OBC (Other backward classes) which is one of the most illogical way of grouping people as any. A lot of OBCs have a lot of land and wield a lot of power

I just want to say that the issue is very complicated and also has a lot of colonial influence still hanging around it to this day. Having said that, things are so much better than what they were 3-4 decades ago based upon my conversation with family elders.

PS. - Anecdata. I was rejected by many SC/ST i.e. women from backward castes in arranged marriage website because they did not want to lose the "privilege" affirmative action will bring to their children. Ultimately I had to find someone from my own caste. My attempt to be open minded and different fell flat on its face.
If you're fundamentally driven by anger and hatred, looking for a target, sure. But if you're driven by curiosity and goodwill, it's just an unwanted distraction from the discussion of the history of operating systems.
Would it be more fair to weight applicants by household income rather than race?

For example, given two equally strong applicants, but one is from upper class and the other lower class, it seems clear that the lower class applicant is stronger, because they were able to achieve similarly with fewer resources.
Don’t forget that this is the highest net worth individuals we are talking about. Due to how the country works, it is unbelievable they could create such wealth without involving the government in some way or another, and they may hold influence in relevant circles (no idea). Meanwhile, the seizures would do nothing drastic to their quality of life.

If I was an American, though, I imagine I would feel queasy about the precedent. From outside, the culture strongly respects self-made fortunes.
