Okay, sure. In a perfect world we would have enough resources for everything. In the real world, affirmative action policies disadvantage asian people.

> Affirmative action makes the world a more just place.

The question you have been dancing around: why is it just to disadvantage Asians in favor of other minorities? What is the mainstream Progressive justification for discriminating against Asians?
> Nobody believes this

Citation needed for that one.
> Proportional representation is inherently fixed sum. If X% of one group is too low and you want to increase it, then increasing that representation must also reduce the representation of other groups. There's no way around this.

The overall quality of America's educational system is not fixed-sum. We should be creating a dozen more TJs for every one that currently exists.
I actually have always appreciated it because I have taken it as a level of world building beyond what is obvious.

Most all profanity in our language can in some way be traced back to a religious context. It would the make sense that on other worlds with totally different religious backgrounds they would use different cursing.

In fact his usage of this concept is so subtle that you can detect what characters are from the world and which ones aren't by whether they use damnation as a noun or an adjective.

Your reply doesn't seem to address my point directly. The appeal to "time" doesn't really work given that that Moscow stock exchange has been closed since last Friday and seems unlikely to open this week.

Cuba has changed quite a bit in the last half century, I would look into it if I were you, most resorts in the country are Cuba-FDI joint ventures - it is complicated but sanctions where most of the world actually disagrees with you are a lot more difficult than this situation.

In this particular case it seems that the work-arounds are not generally available. The Russian government was not prepared to have their own reserves frozen.
> A common way to define racism is: negative prejudice + power

This is an idiotic way to define racism that makes it completely subjective to give the wielding accuser of racism to be highly discriminatory while claiming not to be bad.

Wait what?!

PhD in Physics here.

It's extremely frustrating, whenever a link like this, i.e outside of the IT and programming field, is posted, the number of people, who clearly have ZERO understanding of the subject matter, try so hard to sound smart. It's almost turning HN to another reddit!

To suggest that people like Weinberg was just researching imaginary things is so unbelievably ignorant. Not to mention suggesting that there must always be ONE theory that explains everything from the get-go with no disagreements whatsoever.

Physics/Science has always worked like that: many attempts at explaining a phenomena, after which ONE will be tested and shown to be the "closest" to the truth. And by closest, I mean closest.

I don't even want to begin to address that last abhorrently stupid and ignorant last sentence: "if you don't know the structure of glass you're not a scientist." SHUT UP. If you don't know what physics is, STAY HUMBLE when you comment on it.
A colleague i know also argues that people tend to hire/promote people who look like them (subconscious bias that they prefer their own 'kind' / stemming back to tribal era etc)
Interesting-- that promotes engagement with the content, which is good for viewer metrics & ad $$. If the video is actually sponsored by the game publisher then it's a double bonus for video creator.
> As long as you applied and had the minimum required GPA of 3.5,

GPA is not a useful measurement across schools in the US, because the scope of difficulty and curriculum varies widely between states and municipalities. It's also easy to game in schools that offer advanced courses- just don't take them. At my school, the people who had the highest GPA did so by avoiding classes like AP calculus BC.

Any one of these measurements in a vaccum is going to have problems. The GPA without the school and curriculum is like knowing that something is 25% off without knowing the original price.

That being said, the lottery is probably a better method than people give it credit for. It's guaranteed to have the fair distribution over time people want if the lottery is administered fairly.
>Go back a decade or so: how many people thought that ARM could compete against Intel/AMD?

Hello, that would be me? :)

A decade ago was 2011 / 2012. Not a lot ( if not zero ). Even Anand from Anandtech was still cheering on Intel because of Intel's foundry leadership.

Wrote it on Anandtech and AppleInsider ( probably on HN with my old account as well ) the moment Intel decide not to make chips for iPhone or Fab Chips for iPhone in 2011. That was before Intel announced their Customer Foundry. They later went to do a JV with a Chinese company which later become Spreadtrum now known as Unisoc.

The whole reason why Arm competed against Intel and AMD wasn't because of ARM the ISA. It was the business interest and Foundry model. On a projected annual 1.5B Smartphone shipment by 2020 ( Which turns out to be a little too optimistic ), and 150M PC shipment by 2020 and continue to trend downwards. ( A little too pessimistic ) Even had TSMC not taken over the leading edge crown or stayed one node behind Intel the market today would still have been the same. The smartphone market was far bigger than the PC. This actually ties to why people were dismissing moore's law in the late 00s and early 10s. And it was the economy scales that wins.

What turns out to be wrong though was Tablet didn't take over PC. We are not in a Post-PC world. E-Sport (x86) picks up and PC as a Gaming platform is bigger than anyone could imagine. PS4 would move to x86 ( I dont think rumours of PS4 on AMD x86 even began til early 2012, and only partly confirmed by 2013 ) GPU is no longer a Gaming niche but a fundamental in Data Science. The hype of so called Cloud where everyone laughed at or sceptical of ( that is including me ) turns out to be multiple order of magnitude bigger as well. x86 ( Intel / AMD ) thrives because of that.
On the plus side, because Unix was so ASCII-based, it couldn't easily make the jump to UCS-2/wchar_t. I suspect this was ultimately the motivation that led to UTF-8 (both, IBM's first attempt and Rob Pike's winner). Being late to the game sometimes means you're more prepared.
Ukraine does not have nuclear weapons. They inherited some when the USSR fell apart, but they returned them to Russia to be dismantled in return for guarantees from the west and Russia.

The Chinese did not have nuclear weapons when the US fought them in the Korean War. Neither the Chinese nor the Soviets were (officially) involved in the Vietnam War. The US and Russia have danced around very carefully in Syria; the only direct conflict I know of involved Russian "mercenaries". In none of those cases did the Soviets or the Russians signal that they would use nuclear weapons; likewise, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was given covert military support by the US, but there was no direct conflict.

NATO operations in Ukraine carry a very large risk of accidental escalation, in addition to Putin's threats.
I have not observed any delivery issues yet, but I seldom use the .in address.
Actually the justification to pay you less in some places is because cost of life is lower. Which is true because food and rent is less expensive, but some products are the same or more expensive (like technology). So quality of life is worse.
"If the standards include GPA, that's not very fair to someone who went to a school that doesn't offer AP tests."

Sure but the schools who choose to not rely on academic merit any more are just bringing everyone else down instead of raising up the few who need it. Seems like a terrible solution.

San Francisco just turned Lowell High, one of the best high schools in the country, from merit based to lottery. This is despite the school being full of minority students who excel academically. Now they're screwed and their spot will go to some kid who was advanced a grade because their old school didn't want to hold them back.

Well done?
A simple script to play wordle by itself
Here is a sample video of how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE9khvX4AMM
The algorithm starts with a bunch of precursor suggestions. For this script, I just picked whatever word that came to my mind. One doesn't have to follow them. You can simply put whatever word you see as better fit.
Once you make a suggestion, you then have to give a feedback to the script on how well the suggestions are by specifying something like iicai. c:correct letter, correct spot a:correct letter, wrong spot i:wrong letter
After the feedback, the algorithm check which of the chars were correct and which ones are at the wrong place. Let's say the suggestion was tesla but the actual word is their so the feedback should be caiia which you can infer based on the colors in the game. Once done, the algorithm then calls the api with the following query. t???? which means that find all the 5 letter words that start with t. Among those, it then searches for the words that are allowed by checking which of the chars are among the forbidden chars. Please check the code for more details.
It is designed for the hard mode of wordle but it should work with easy mode too.
Although I tried it with a lot of wordle archive cases and it worked but it might fail at some of the edge cases.
The algorithm that I used might not be the most efficient ones in terms of big O. It has elements of brute force in it.
A fixed instruction size architecture like ARM64 doesn't have to deal with any of that.

What it does have to deal with is needing several times higher fetch bandwidth. It's all a bunch of tradeoffs.

There is none, because there is no mainstream progressive position associated with discriminating against Asians. You can refer back to my original comment for why that is.

Edit: To be clear: what I'm claiming is that the "progressive" position is better associated with improving education overall. It's only through a particularly warped partisan lens does it become this ridiculous squabble over artificially scarce resources.

People that can pass of as white are more often of mixed heritage. Even then its really rare for them to be passable into the majority racial population. It all depends on their racial/ethnic composition. If one is half-latino/half-North African/levant and half-white, chances are they're going to be passable and most likely identify as white. Even the U.S census considers people from MENA as white. There are also white-Hispanics. But same can't be said of people that are a mix of African-American + Caucasian. See Barack Obama, Jordan Peele or Keegan-Michael Keys as examples. What you consider "high" for passable are still a small fraction of the minority population.

Also passable isn't a think most people do these days. At least not since the 1960s where racial barriers were much higher. These days people of mixed heritage will most likely identify with the minority side of their heritage. (For many reasons).

As a Brazilian friend of mine once told me - Racial classification and categorization in the United States is just weird.
They don't prevent infection, so signing up for ongoing jabs two or more times per year is not the pre-2020 understanding of an effective vaccine.

In fact, CDC says natural infection and recovery is good protection.

I heard about these gamed and watched a few hours of gameplay each. I was unconvinced and closed the YouTube tabs after it became too boring.

I guess I have to play it to feel it? But most of the games I enjoy playing are fun to watch. Duke3d and Baldurs Gate are two examples. Can someone elaborate why Dark Soul is actually fun to play, and more importantly why sold for so many copies? I read other comments and the thing they mentioned (world building and music and game design) isn't really particularly recognizable from the few hours (actually about 10 hours) I watched, and even if they are excellent surely there are other games that match?

> I think it's pretty clear that you're not a good match for startups.

It's pretty clear you have little knowledge of startups outside of those seeking unicorn trajectory. That's to your detriment.

> You're just not a good match for a startup co-founder position.

This is just an absolutely incredulous and naive take, and it shows some of the worst bubble mentality and arrogance that this industry has to offer. I've spent my career within startups, I've cofounded several you've probably never heard of that are still going and are still successful. But because they're not unicorns, never aspired to be one, and don't fit the mold of your specific view of what a startup is - well, clearly this person isn't fit.

I'm not sure how anyone can take your opinions on the topic seriously after you've revealed yourself in this way. In a way, I pity that your view is so narrow.

Again, to anyone reading this thread - it doesn't have to be the way they're describing it. Life and business are not confined to the stereotypes and tropes of Silicon Valley startup culture, and you don't have to subscribe to their tenets to be successful.
How does right of first refusal work with respect to price? Could you fulfill this obligation by offering them the option at a very high price? I'm guessing price isn't a negotiable parameter.

I too read the headlines, select articles, comments for these articles and try to stop after page 2/3 to avoid procrastinating. The discourse is refreshingly reasonable even for politicized topics (e.g. understandably anything re: Russia these days given the war they are waging and previously re: China). On reddit and online news comments it's just anger feeding off angry group think that leads me to wonder if there are real people involved.

I would just say if you are learning something completely outside your field -- which is awesome! -- try to feel out the biases starting with the general audience here and then the topic. High quality comments from folks with good technical English skills project a lot of confidence which may or may not be appropriately placed. I'm medical so I find occasional discussions about medicine/AI/disruption/collecting-data-solves-everything really interesting, but more to learn about other viewpoints and what drives them rather than the first order of what is actually being posted. As a contrary example, I know nothing about Rust, Kubernetes, and node.js except what is posted here... so hot damn!
Windows did the opposite and that still resulted in problems.
Deeper history aside, obviously no one has any negative intention in saying it in their comments. Everyone knows what they mean. It’s flatly unhelpful to go around constantly correcting people.
The original comment that spawned this discussion definitely was.

> One thing I recommend to my hiring managers is to not allow people from frictioned backgrounds to manage and interview people from the other side.
Not sure that’s borne out, though his gist is along those lines.

> It’s hard to say whether he’s going to go after the rest of Ukraine because—I don’t mean to nitpick here but—that implies that he wants to conquer all of Ukraine, and then he will turn to the Baltic states, and his aim is to create a greater Russia or the reincarnation of the Soviet Union. I don’t see evidence at this point that that is true.

Putin may be simply testing what can be done in a deliberate fashion. Armies need wars to fight in order to stay in shape. He got Crimea pretty easily, so like a cat that got a first piece off the table he might be seeing how big a piece he can manage. We don’t know how much of Putin’s imagery is literal and how much is to just set a tone and narrative for what he does do.

In 2014 it did seem a bit over-the-top to suggest that Ukraine should join NATO to me. The analogy of Mexico joining the Warsaw Pact seems apt. Ukraine has been free all along to say “we like elections, but no thank you to NATO” knowing how Russia sees things. We’ll see how this plays out. This may just be the opening gambit in a multi-round game for the next several years.

There is a long history of people like this being right despite the oppression on occasion.

A dominant school of thought producing no observable results over decades, instead apparently relying on career pressure to conform and perpetuate the path would normally be considered dogmatic rather than oppressed, and doesn't immediately spring to mind as a model for "a long history of people like this being right".

Somehow back around 2000, all the design changes felt things improved well.

Sometime around since 2010, most of the design changes seem to be going backwards and I'm starting to hate people change anything as nothing is improved practically.

It's like all changes are done via personal taste instead of through design philosophy for the many.

For the visuals, FromSoft has always been a step behind from a graphical fidelity level. But they make up for it in art design, which is some of the best in the industry. Some of the areas in Elden Ring are legitimately jaw dropping. But the graphical fidelity is certainly nowhere near the level of something like Horizon (or even the Demon's Souls Remake, which was done by another team).

For the controls, the game is all about animation timing. You may be used to games where you can cancel animations. FromSoft's games instead require you to commit to your actions, giving everything a lot of weight. It takes getting used to. In some ways it's more like a fighting game than a lot of other action games. It's also possible that you were playing a character with heavier equipment load: try taking things off, so you have a faster roll.

There's no excuse for the performance / port issues. It released in a pretty poor state, but they are at least working on patches. I'd imagine it'll be a lot better after a few more patches.

The dialogue is a bit of an acquired taste. I find the writing to be brilliant, but at first it just feels odd. It helps to realize you're meant to feel out of place, without enough initial context to understand fully what's happening. You have to put the pieces together as you play, and then things finally begin to make sense.

The multiplayer is quirky and different, and probably not for everyone. You can always turn it off if it's not your thing.
I find nothing wrong with someone expressing their lack of understanding of something. They didn't phrase it in a way like "people that don't use adblocking are so dumb". They just stated they don't get why people continue to not use tools.

Very simply, no other game series does the "mastery" thing so well. The game is both wide and deep, and even though there's superficially a leveling system, it won't save you if you can't actually play.

This raises some accessability issues, definitely. I'd love to see Fromsoft games take that challenge on next. (Or another studio, there are plenty of great Souls-like games out there.) Especially as I'm getting older, I definitely feel like I have a lot more "knocking the rust off" to do when I start up each new Soulslike game before I'm competent enough to play well.

But once I'm in the zone, once I've achieved that mastery, enemies that I had previously been decrying as "absolute bullshit, what the hell am I even supposed to DO about them?", I'm just carving through casually, while theorizing in my head what stats I'm going to raise at the next level up or where I should head next.

At least for me, there's no other game series that does that quite so well.
This is not true since it's the faculty and students that make a school "elite". Unless all 100 million students are brilliant and you have enough brilliant faculty to head those schools, you're going to end up with good and bad schools.
