> initial claim, which was that non-white students need to expend significantly more effort than white students to be accepted into the Ivy League

You've added a whole bunch of words here that weren't in any claim of this thread. The person I was replying to is the one who brought students and school acceptance into it. I've double checked the whole thread to make sure, so if I missed it please point it out. The conversation above car_analogy's post was about business leadership.

At any rate, while of course I'm being a little obtuse, I really do not know what car_analogy is driving at. I can speculate, but I suspect I'd be accused of being uncharitable if I said my speculation out loud. It's not up to me to make their argument for them, and they didn't even bother to make one.

Anyways,

> If you think other factors are the cause of that

Fortunately, as I'm not the person who threw a snark bomb into the thread tied to a table of tenuously related data, it's not my job to interpret the data I don't think is significant to the argument at hand. If car_analogy wants to convince me of its relevance, they can say more than two words about it and then get defensive.
Those kind of psychiatrists probably wouldn't be willing to sit for someone going through psychedelic therapy, and them being licensed is an issue entirely orthogonal to how psychedelics amplify emotions

Just because some medical professionals suck, that doesn't make it safe to use psychedelics when depressed without someone who knows what they're doing with you. "Knows what they're doing" includes knowing how to handle suicidal individuals.
But it looks at all students (not only those that make it into the Ivies), so Jewish whites, that are only ~4% of all whites, have a minuscule effect on white SAT scores. Yet, for non-Jewish whites, comparatively higher SAT scores have not translated into higher Ivy enrollment.
This is how the Russian "liberation" always looked like. Gang rapes, murder and wanton destruction and plunder.

It should not be a surprise this did not change, when the whole nation is lead by a guy who still unquestioningly glorifies the sacrifice of the Red Army in WWII.

It's probably a policy by now, just to keep the morale at least somewhat above 0.
Seems that way.

If you want to defend Ukraine, okay. But confiscating Russia's sovereign wealth fund was a stupid, stupid move. That wasn't done by western countries even in WW2, fighting (literally) the Nazis. You've put the Russians in a position to have a commodity backed currency in which they no longer need to trade oil in dollars, and in which all of Europe now needs to acquire Rubles in order to not freeze to death. The profound miscalculation of western powers with regards to their sanctions and mishandling of sovereign wealth funds has all but guaranteed the oft-prophecied Thucydides trap and with it WW3 and the sunsetting of the American Empire.

Damn fools.

Russia has been preparing for this for a decade! They are more hardened than you think. The more sanctions, the more desperate and extreme measures taken, and more innocent loss of life. I do not see a way out of this conflict other than WW3.

NGL I actually laughed at the last one. It wasn't intentional, just as they made a specific comment about part of the drivetrain, I couldn't take them seriously anymore.

They didn't really know what to do about that, which helped things out.

> Everything else aside, buying a Tesla was refreshing because I was able to buy a new car on the internet like I'd buy a new blender on Amazon.

Saturn did this. I think Scion did too, but could be wrong on that. My first 2 car purchase experience were at Saturn dealerships and TBF it left me ill-prepared for the 'typical' dealership experience.

I will say that Truecar was pretty helpful in purchasing one of my cars; at the time I wound up getting invoice on a custom order without a bit of haggling about price. They did do the F&I bit but honestly it was fairly low pressure, (helped it was late in the day and the end of the month so they wanted it on the books.)

My last purchase, I was referred by a friend, the salesfolks were up front and didn't upcharge. Yeah they did the F&I thing but were otherwise as close to the Saturn experience as I ever could have wanted.

> with a healthy dollop of scare tactics to get you to buy "protection plans" you don't need.

Some of them are kinda useful, but case dependent.

- My WRX, I opted for the special windshield coat due to my work route at the time being -terrible- for windshields (I went through 2 in one year on my previous car...) And sure enough that crap worked. Between coating applications you could see the dimples. I also opted for Rim protection on that car. In my case it paid for itself, because #PureMichigan

- I've -never- opted for an enhanced warranty. I typically take the cost of replacing the most expensive component that could fail within 5 years (and/or the mileage I'd expect to drive in that time) and not be covered within the provided warranties, and compare to what they want for an extended plan. It's almost never worth doing.

> "the price is this if you finance and that if you don't,"

Finance/incentives are weird on the surface, but If you think about 'X$ cash back OR Y% APR through <financing arm>' (where Y is better-ish than common rate,) It's really just buying off the extra interest, like points on a mortgage. Depending on where your credit is at, that financing-arm option may be a better one than others anyway (always shop around though.)
C++ doesn't have a concept of immutable data, or data not shared by another thread, which is part of the challenge.

This "region borrow checker" aids the former; we can call a pure function that can regard previously shared-mutable data as temporarily immutable.

You really need an AP in every large room if you want Wi-Fi to not suck. That’s been the case for every Wi-Fi standard even on 2.4ghz. Increasing range just leads to more interference and latency spikes from hardware retransmit. Things have gotten better now that we have more spectrum, but https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_node_problem is still a problem since the vast majority of devices on the frequency belong to your neighbors.
Why I got a PhD at age 61
There are many good reasons. The first thing that comes to mind is that books smell better than tablets. The second is that they don't need the publisher's permission to lend physical books; they do for digital ones.

Really, they have physical books today for all the reasons they had physical books yesterday or a hundred years ago.
First, setup a pair of tunnels. There are multiple tutorials doing this. You could check Arch Linux Wiki of how to. On my setup, I assigned a pair of /31 addresses to each side just for the internal communication.

Then, if you want to use IPv4 NAT, set up SNAT and DNAT. I'm taking Linux's iptables for an example:
on the VPS:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <VPS Public IP>/32 -p tcp --dport port -j DNAT --to-destination <IP of another side of the WireGuard tunnel>
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o <VPS Internet facing NIC> -j MASQUERADE

The first statement sets SNAT on IPv4 TCP (UDP is also possible) on a specified port. All packets going into this machine (dst = VPS public IP) will go into the other side of your WireGuard tunnel. -d <VPS Public IP>/32 makes sure that the packets forwarding to the VPN side won't get NATed.
If you need multiple ports or protocols, just duplicate this line.

The second statement sets DNAT on the VPS. It makes the packets from your VPN side goes to the outside (sorry I'm not an expert in networking principals so that's my understanding).

On your local side, you just set up the tunnel and set your machine's default gateway to your VPS's tunnel IP address. Make sure you add a static route to your VPS's public address (WireGuard Endpoint) if you are connecting WireGuard using an IPv4 endpoint or it will get routed to your tunnel and you will disconnect.

I also sometimes setup IPv6 tunnels without NAT. On the VPS I just setup a WireGuard interface with /64 and assign each peer a /128. No NAT is needed for this case.
As humankind progresses, we'll abstract more and more.

Already, most are not able to put together these systems from semiconductor design. Or writing the OS. Or programming languages. And that is fine.

I envision that in a decade, we (the humankind) will have way more devs, creating way more apps, and not knowing a thing about NodeJS or PostgreSQL or such things that you and I take as "minimum requirements".
> and I don't see it as a conspiracy to keep poor people down, but an overabundance of caution from bureaucrats covering their ass and regulatory capture.

These are one in the same. Regulation is a euphemism for corruption, market manipulation, favoritism, cronie "capitalism", and so on. The intention might not be to keep the status quo (e.g., poor remain as such) but that - time and again - is the result.

Given these are the facts. This is the tradition. It's not all that difficult to argue the libertarian pov because if nothing else it's obvious what is not working.

We may need a standard directory and behavior for naggy utilities of this type. Maybe something like:

for util in /usr/annoying/bin/*; do
touch ~/.$(basename $util)/stfu
done

Of course I don't like the idea of having to create a prefs file for every obnoxious utility, but that's the way parallel is currently operating. Maybe all such utilities could be required to use standard nag library with a global setting.

It seems to be encouraging inappropriate citation. It is certainly not standard practice and would probably be considered something of a violation of academic ethics.

If you're not describing an experiment or system that uses GNU parallel as one of its key components then it makes no sense to cite it any more than it does to cite any other utility.

They don't control the government but they love it, and, frankly, russians also love that they don't have the control cause then they don't have to bear any responsibility for anything.
There's plenty of easy and cheap options that can be taken to shift cities away from car dependence without tearing them down and rebuilding them.

step one would be to abolish mandatory parking minimums. if a developer wants to use their entire lot size for housing and not provide any parking, they should be able to. if the market demands parking, the market can build market-rate parking. it's ridiculous that we have legal requirements for how much housing there is for cars, but not how much housing there is for people.

Never say never. Some perpetrators of these crimes are likely dead already.

And who knows what the future holds, maybe those frozen foreign reserves may not be comming back to Russia's central bankers, but will instead go to reparations and compensation to victims.
> I haven’t seriously put thought into that use-case. … Do you explicitly require a map or list comprehensions or do you “broadcast” automatically, and if you do, what are the pitfalls?

It’s all automatic. Basically, any function a→b can be used as [a]→[b], [[a]]→[[b]], and so on; functions with multiple arguments work similarly. In the intermediate language, each argument is then annotated with the amount by which it needs to be lifted. (So e.g. if `xs : [Int]`, then `10/xs` gets translated to something like `(/)({10,1}, {xs,0})`.

As for pitfalls… well, I haven’t encountered all that many yet. The implementation is a little unprincipled at this point, but there’s probably some way to make it more rigorous. It’s basically as close as I can get to J or MATLAB in a typed language, and people don’t often have problems with broadcasting in those languages.

> I have put some thought into something related which is aggregations. On a given table I want to be able to add a column which implements any mapAccum over the table, such as balance over time. The code generated would be table.accum(state: row: state + row.x) for example. The UI would make it easy to pick common accumulators and folds, but also trivial to write an expression. Your voltage current example would work like that.

This does sound quite similar to what I’m doing, though perhaps more limited.

> Incidentally [applying substitutions at the same time as unification] is needed if you want to combine two row types and assign a type to the expression.

Hmm, interesting. You don’t happen to have a link, do you? (Though I seem to recall hearing TAPL has something about this… I really do need to read it one of these days.)

Gradient descent has ushered out many challengers who were sure they could do things gradient descent could never do even on bigger compute. I'm not worried. (My own belief is that gradient descent is so useful that any better optimization approach will simply evolve gradient descent as an intermediate phase for bootstrapping problem-specific learning. It's a tower of optimizers all the way down/up.)

You can't call that a 'CLIP bug' because using CLIP for gradient ascent on a diffusion model is not remotely what it was trained or intended to do, and is not much like your use-case of detecting real world objects. It's basically adversarial pixel-wise hacking, which is not what real world pink trucks are like. Also, that post was 7 months ago, and the AI art community advances really fast. (However bad you think those samples are, I assure you the first BigSleep samples, back in February 2021 when CLIP had just come out, would have been far worse.) 'Unicorn cake' may not have worked 7 months ago, but maybe it does now... Check out the Midjourney samples all over AI art Twitter the past month.
It wasn’t advertising-friendly, so it was only a matter of time before it became racist too.
Or not. It's coming in to spring. People won't die of hypothermia, substitutes for some LNG supply will be found, the terms of market trade forced on the Russian arc will be unsatisfying to the money men inside the tent.

I remember reading about 20 years ago that low cholesterol was correlated with increased mortality due to increased incidence of suicide.
This seems obviously falsifiable to me. There are many cities worldwide where private vehicle ownership (and use) is a fraction of what it is in common US cities (though of course, NYC would be an example that is actually within the US). Are you suggesting that London, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul or NYC are in some way suffering because less people there own and/or use private vehicles for transportation?

As so many have pointed out in this sub-thread, and so many other places, the pattern of US urban and suburban development for the last 80 years has essentially assumed the predominance of private vehicle ownership and use. It's not a surprise, therefore, that within these patterns of developments, car ownership and use brings significant benefits (even if it also causes significant negative externalities). However, what is also true is that these patterns of development severely penalize lack of car ownership in a way that not even old world cities do. My sister who lives in London leaves her car parked for roughly 95% of the time and moves around by mass transit. If she had no vehicle (like her daughter, also in London), her life would change very little. By contrast, the resident of most US cities and essentially all suburbs who attempts to live without a car will be hamstrung in most areas of their life.
Extremely lucky about this ‘100% success rate’.

After dealing with several valuable SEGA Saturn games that succumbed to bit rot, and are therefore worth practically nothing - (nor are they playable, obviously) - I backed up whatever optical disks I had left and have never used optical media since. I certainly never will again.

I just can’t trust it anymore as an investment.

I’ve got vinyl from the 50’s/60’s that still play great but after losing those SEGA games I just see those little plastic disks as ticking time bombs.

there’s absolutely no reason, for example, as to why unitive consciousness as described in some Hindu philosophies would be in contradiction with our experience of cognition originating entirely within a chemical framework of understanding reality.
Visualizing Design: 196 Flags of Countries Around the World
Most visualization tools (not just for codebases) seem to rely on graphviz. Is there anything better? Or is this still the best option?
It sucks a bit, but I find the tradeoff quite good. The Go folks have managed to make a language which is quite low level and with a small fairly transparent feature set which still manages to produce code which is not too verbose.

Java and C# for instance despite being much higher level languages tend to require far more verbose code.

I have played with some crypto code and concurrency in all languages to compare and was pleasantly surprised by how much more compact Go code ended up being while also being easy to read and using fairly simple constructs.

You can often get smaller Java and C# code but at the expense of using far more complex and abstract concepts.

There is a sense of good balanced taste in how Go featured and libraries are made which often lacks in many other languages.

It's not easy to find liars. It's easy to find who are underperforming. There's a difference between the two.

Resume, references, and team meeting filters out almost everyone who needs to be fired. Folks who lie on their resume, who arrange dishonest references and who defraud their way through a meet and greet are _exceedingly rare_. It's such a vanishingly small segment of possibility that it's not worth troubling oneself over.

The reality is that companies use complex and obtuse hiring practices to cover for poor internal practices. They recognize an inability to deliver and perform on their teams, and consider it a hiring failure; but the reality, most of the time, is that it's a structural or management failure. Most hires, most of the time, are sufficiently able to deliver on their desired roles; but often, management is unwilling and unable to identify that they are responsible for poor performance. And so they blame the candidates, the new hires, to their teams. Not themselves.
Interestingly unsafecell only allows half the shared mutability story. It allows immutable references to be mutated. But it does not allow mutable references to alias. So rust can’t (yet) express all the patterns in C++.

Try buying or selling a house with unlicensed "modifications". It's an interesting exercise.
For underplayment of labor, you determine what a living wage would be in the area where the underpayment takes place, subtract the actual amount paid, and the difference is the "cost" of underpayment (which shows up only as a net positive in any actual balance sheets, but imposes net cost on society as a result of having more people who struggle to survive).

You could go further and quantify the effective costs of that struggle, but I don't think you need to. If something you buy contains 2 hours of labor that should have been paid $8/hr but was paid $4/hr, then there's a component to the "true cost" of at least $8.
