Could you point out your or some of the other places that have a good model for DEI? My department has been struggling with this and will be redoing their mentorship program in the near future.
I guess if the rest of the CV was a really strong match, I'd give them a chance but they'd have to do a "technical interview" same as any other junior. I can only speak for myself that I haven't seen many CV's in my environment where 98% of the stack is built on FOSS and 100% of the tooling uses FOSS that an expert in that field has never contributed anything to a FOSS project, has never asked a question on an issue or created an issue (and also lacks any other public facing work like personal projects, talks, blogs, etc). I'd also interview them if they were recommended by a colleague.
Same here (M&A/VC lawyer for nearly a decade). Agree 100% on all of the above.

I became skeptical right off the bat when she compared Boies' civil representation of Weinstein (at ostensibly $2,000+ per hour) to the defense attorneys who volunteered to represent Guantanamo detainees.
I have a Dell Wyse, I'm familiar with them. Intel has generally gimped Atoms. The 5070 is tolerable, but it would be nice to have better RAM capacity.

Gracemont is such a huge departure from previous atom offerings I don't really consider them as having the same design goals. These new e-cores would be really nice for my use cases, better density and power efficiency than Ryzen.

Maybe with AMD dragging their feet on the V2000 and V3000 lines of low power offerings, I can get these sooner...

1- Each model looks for different deepfake signatures. By design, the models do not always agree, which is the goal. We are much more concerned with false negatives, and we target a min of 95% accuracy for our model of detection models.
2 - The challenge is educating users about results without requiring a PhD. Our platform is targeted for use by junior analysts in cyber security or trust and safety.
3 - This is a good suggestion. We are exploring how we can offer an unlimited plan that can cover our high compute costs (we run our multiple models in realtime).
Software Engineering Ethics Manifesto by Uncle Bob Martin
Ah yeah, connecting the dots in ggplot2 docs is hard. It's hard for us to document because, under the hood, the pieces quite decoupled and different pieces are responsible for different arguments. But since we last took a deep dive on the ggplot2 docs, we've gotten much better at generating docs with code, so maybe it's time to have another look. I've filed an issue (https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/issues/4770) so we don't forget about it, but no guarantees about when it might get done.
In the long run, yes. But people are often promoted mostly based on short term impacts. Especially visible ones.

e.g. nobody got a promotion because the change they pushed for 5 years ago prevented an attack today.

That's not to say people are just greedy and only chase what gets them a promotion, but replace "promotion" with "received positive feedback".
Are you concerned that your product will inadvertently improve deepfakes? Suddenly you've given them a baseline that they need to be better than, and hackers love challenges. I predict this will turn into a constant arms race like AV or copyright protection, and I don't think this will work in the long run.

IMO, KYC needs to go back to in person verification. Everything you can do digitally can be faked or impersonated.
Ours is different.

Tests (end-to-end and integration) are at the bottom. If there are no tests that prove that the code works, we won't really look further because we don't even know if the code implements the right thing. Then comes interfaces, then implementation, then style.
Those are usually handled by the email service provider. Email deliverability is a speciality in itself, something even a company as tech-savvy as Cloudflare probably doesn't have the skills in-house.

Properly handling opt-outs is part of it. MailChimp does the right thing by soliciting feedback, including the option "I never signed up for these emails", hopefully that goes into whatever scoring mechanism they use to kick out abusive customers. Sadly the current state of what passes for front-end development is abysmal, with pages often not working if a user has cookies or javascript disabled, or an ad-blocker.

As for JGC, he deserves credit for doing the right thing, but that does not change the fact his company violated the law, and their marketing department richly deserves any fire and brimstone is raining down their necks right now. I would say most companies should probably have their email service provider contracts controlled by legal rather than marketing, most marketing departments have an inherent conflict of interest in this regard.
I just graduated from Columbia Law and am currently a biglaw first year. I agree with you pretty much entirely.

Her article is idiotic and so is most of this thread.
I have, but I barely do it at all because I have too many of my own projects to work on, and deciphering someone else's codebase isn't a good use of my time for the kinds of minor problems I'd be solving that someone else could solve better.
But how is the article's wagon o' phones different from a bus? How does Google know if my 1 week old Google account has a car?

I just had another thought. The Boston area has been rolling out bus lanes and they're pretty fantastic. However, a crowded rush hour bus may have a perverse effect on their traffic jam calculations. Where normal cars will be at a stand still, Google will also see ~50 users absolutely flying down the road in comparison. What happens then?
When you install the app they steal your contact list and populate their database that way. Most people are unaware of this, or don't care since we are a third world country and privacy is seen as a first world problem. The vast majority of thinking here is not very sophisticated about these types of topics. Only a very tiny fraction of the total population is averse to sharing personal information like phone numbers. It's common to see folks post their tax ID numbers etc on public forums, tweets, etc. too.

For a number of years it was quite common for folks in the lowest income brackets to change their phone numbers quite often because of rampant competition between mobile network providers. The "Mobile Number Portability" system was eventually introduced that minimized this to a large degree. Eventually the competition subsided and this reduced significantly to a point where it's not very common anymore per my understanding.

When I need to use Trucaller I use it via their web interface exclusively with a google account that has 0 contacts for them to steal. I remember finding my number listed many years ago as my name with (web developer) in parenthesis, likely stolen from some old customer of mine.

It should be easy to talk a pointy-haired boss (PHB, see Dilbert) into "readme-based development" (RBD). In fact, you can probably get funding for training, aka pizzas.

That's because RBD is basically Amazon's "write the press-release first" methodology and no PHB will say "we won't use something that Amazon says makes them successful."

The pizzas come from another Amazon saying.

This is funny, because basically every insurance here in Sweden states that if you are covered by another insurance, then this one is invalid. In practice though what Iv'e heard is that the companies will always just be kind and sort of split the responsibility between them instead when something happens.

> Switch from FPTP to RCV or any other and the system will fix itself.

No, it won't. Any system with single member districts as the sole basis for representation in the legislature has minimal impact on the problem. If you want to fix it, you need a system that structurally promotes proportionality. That doesn't have to be a party list system; I personally prefer small (5-ish) multimember districts with STV.

(Incidentally, I find the way Instant Runoff Voting proponents have shifted to preferring the name Ranked Choice Voting for the very worst of ranked choice methods annoying.)

Guardian did an amusing take on it here : https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/19/if-you-find-...
Example, please?

This seems highly unlikely, based on my 20+ years with R. Yes, using wrong data structures/algorithms can lead to slow code, but switching languages won't fix this.

rprof and microbenchmark are your friends if you really need to optimize your code.

and (as in python, and as several others have pointed out), if you have something especially challenging, write it in C/C++/fortran instead, and link it to R.
'A better answer to the, "‘How can you represent someone who’s guilty?’ question is...'

Is that the person is innocent until proven guilty.
This doesn't seem correct to me. Each of these categories should bear equal weight, I won't spend less time on code style or tests to spend more time on API design. My code review checklist is a checklist. I spend as much time as necessary on each item in the checklist, no more no less.

I also think that code style, fuzzing, and benchmark tests are the most important items on my checklist. It keeps the code base from becoming a jenga tower that is brittle to change. It also keeps us honest as to whether a feature is a perf hit or not. Tests are far more important than this graphic portrays them as.

You’re looking at the problem wrong.

There are 1.35 million deaths per year attributed to car crashes. I don’t know about you, but I would rather companies play loose and fast rather than take forever to figure out the perfect solution. If it takes five years longer, that’s more than 7 million deaths.

Even if self driving cars are responsible for 1000 deaths per year, which they won’t be, it would still be well worth playing fast and loose.

Articles like this push a narrative of woke social justice warriors ruining society by ignoring customs and norms. Certainly there are exploitationists who gravitate to any movement to attain power. However, everyone who tries to affect change in bureaucratic organizations knows that the worst things are not the word ‘no’ but complete silence. Customs and norms allow institutions an excuse continue the status quo without thinking too hard about it.

The real story here is that institutions have gained so much power in society such that they have eclipsed every function in daily human life. The people who lead them have arbitrary and capricious control over prices, investment, transportation, and justice. The way people have responded to this is just part of the story. I want journalists to report on the whole story.
I have long opposed the EU data privacy regulations, but have to admit that this issue is an excellent result of those. It seems to actually have the potential of making the US security apparatus a bit more accountable. Hopefully it will also lead other US citizens to have a similar reaction to the their government that I do: shame.
Switched from Bitwarden to KeepassXC+Syncthing last year, and I'm very pleased. But I personally enjoy collecting and organizing passwords, and I treat the KeePassXC database report as a kind of game that I'm trying to get a high score on (as many unique PWs as possible with high entropy).

I like to contribute to open source! Mostly in the form of documentation and guides. I find writing proper how-to tutorials very rewarding and a good way that I can contribute to any given project.

Everyone appreciates guides about integrating various tooling with other tools, and there's a lot of decent work to be done in this area.

I also like to use the opportunity to hone my writing skills. I haven't written too many guides, but the most popular one is a POC on using playwright to create simple tests. It still gets a modest amount of views per day, 20-30. I also get a kick out of seeing my work linked within a Microsoft project. Always brings a smile out of me.
The central subject is people refusing the statu quo of the current justicial system. The article does not assume that indeed, but reference to people that do (lawyers over 50 etc).

I stand behind my comment and loto-lawyer to illustrate how broken the system is until we find a better alternative.

I don't think so. Most people who come to R after years of Excel find it just as alien as you do.
Why would you be more concerned about false negatives? Wouldn't false positives erode trust and value in your product, and considering the applications you're targeting, possibly open you up to lawsuits if you start accusing innocent people of being deepfakes (which, IMO, currently seems unlikely)?
Is everyone supposed to give up their Master's degrees?
When I took my AI class, my professor would assign one paper a week and we had to turn in a "critique" of that paper. These papers were, of course, the seminal classics in the field, because what else would you want your intro class to be reading? I complained a bit to the professor that it was a bit silly to critique the seminal papers in the field and if you want to be sure we read it, we could just turn in a summary (which our critiques typically started with anyhow), but we were supposed to learn how to critique papers.

In hindsight, I suppose I should have appealed to the fact that critiquing the seminal papers in the field is a serious data set bias and that trying to "learn to critique" on the best papers ever written in a field was less likely to produce a useful "critiquing" skill and more likely to produce some overfitted garbage skill, but, hey, I hadn't taken AI yet! I didn't know how to express that.

(It did produce a garbage skill, too. I tried writing "real" critiques using my brain, but after getting Cs and Ds for the first couple, I learned my lesson, and mechanically spit out "Needs more data", "should have studied more", and as appropriate, "sample sizes were too small". Except for that last one, regardless of the study. Bam. A series of easy As. Sigh. I liked college over all, but there were some places I could certainly quibble.)

Anyhow, this is the paper that needs to be assigned towards the end of the semester, and students asked to "critique" it. It's a much better member of the training data set for this sort of skill.

Okay, how about a central banker or think tank economist mentioning global warming at all? THOSE are the economists that matter, the ones that make policy.

But they don't want to ruffle the feathers of the masters, they want the gravy train of getting paid to rubberstamp right wing laissez faire U of Chicago cult dogma.

Google travel mode detection is pretty good about distinguishing between a car and a bus or train. I don't know if it comes from sensor data or radio data but Google reliably distinguishes between transit and car trips on my location history, whether I was carrying my iPhone or my Android. It also sometimes prompts me for "how crowded is/was the bus" when and only when I was riding a bus. This is an improvement over past behavior where Android would remind me where I parked ... the bus I rode earlier. I don't think current Google Maps will confuse a crowded bus and a traffic jam.
Soyuz isn't really in the same class as F9; its GTO payload is something like 2.5t, where F9 is like 5.5t. (The equivalent launcher on the Russian side was Proton at 6+t. And indeed, it sold lots of commercial launches until eclipsed by F9/FH... and its own poor reliability.) So Soyuz wasn't really competitive for most commercial launch, which until recently was largely GEO comsats. It was well-suited for MEO and LEO, which (until recently) was mostly scientific and surveillance, which is mostly government customers. But it was also well placed for the new commercial LEO com constellations, until they decided to throw that away.
Building datacenters and is hard. So this is an opportunity for cloud providers.

I had a heart attack a few years ago and while I kind of know the fear is not very rational, I still wanted to be able to continue driving and not feel like I could hurt or even kill someone if I get another one that kills me while at the wheel.

This works until they run into a use case that doesn't involve running various forms of regression analysis on panel data.

In the parent comment's case, I could imagine that there's an expectation that someone doing neuroscience research will eventually have to expand beyond what's possible in SPSS. In this case, it may make sense to go through the effort of teaching them how to program in Python or Julia.

Eh, the lawyer quality is only one small part.

A much larger part is the unequal application of the law through prosecutorial and law enforcement discretion. Also, the best lawyer won't mean much if you get an incompetent or biased judge.

Then you have the issue of just being charge will cost a ton of money. Even if you're innocent, you're financially punished. Most summary offenses cost more to hire a lawyer to defend your innocence than to plead guilty and pay the fine. This is by far the biggest farce of justice - being punished as much as a guilty person just to defend your innocence.
Is there a statute of limitations on that, or are they tainted forever?
