The difficulty here is the collision between explicit discrimination by the state (prohibited in this case by the CA constitution) and de facto discrimination by private actors (see the significant under-representation of many different demographic groups in positions of power and wealth).

CA sought to use the power of the state to legislate some private behavior to reduce the negative impact of de facto discrimination by private actors. The judge has said "no, the CA constitution prevents you from doing this, since that would be explicit discrimination by the state".

If you accept for a moment that there is de facto discrimination arising from the actions of private actors, and you believe that this is a net negative for society, how would you go about reducing or elimination it?

Of course, you may not accept that there is de facto discrimination by private actors, but then you need to explain the underrepresenation of different demographics, and likely in order to appear reasonably sane, your argument needs to be something other than "that's just the way it is". What argument is there to explain the underrepresentation that doesn't ultimately confirm that it is actually discrimination?
Ask HN: What are other app stores to develop for?
Other than the main Apple and Android app stores, what are other popular “app stores” to develop for?

For example, Slack has an App Store as does Shopify (they call it integrations)

They're saying that fossils fuels don't price in the cost that everyone will have to pay in response to climate change, and that's the only reason they're still considered affordable and a viable source of energy. If we carbon taxed them proportional to the damage they do, it wouldn't even be close to renewables.

It wasn't clear that you mean only autonomous and not loitering in general.

If you mean autonomous loitering munitions, they are are basically short lived mines in the sky. We had those in the sea for more than a century, they didn't render seas unsurvivable for ships. And if you think loitering munitions are cheap vs their targets, wait till you hear about inflatable heated "tanks" that such a munition won't be able to distinguish from an actual tank.

Indeed, armies are paying smart people to think about those issues. You can notice that those smart people don't plan to get rid of ground armies, instead they build jammers, lasers, and automatic guns. The original claim was about ground war being impossible anymore because of drones, which doesn't really match up with what those smart army people are doing.
Oh by native I mean indigenous, I’d just say Indian but I’m not allowed to call myself that anymore without issues from the PC people telling me how ashamed of myself I should feel. I always forget the acceptable term to refer to myself by.

I kind of get it but I just call that hiring people with experience.

Like I do get hired because I’ve done a whole bunch of different roles and have actual diversity I’m not just a Java programmer with 20 years of experience making login forms.

Also having done a lot of things I usually have an interesting non-work story to tell.

I find that kind of diversity hugely valuable. I find hiring people because they check a diversity box dumb and bigoted.

My comment had nothing to do with requirements. If I drive a car, and it causes pollution where I live, then aren't I, as part of society, paying the "true" cost? I say "where I live" because every car trip I take starts and ends at my front door.

I simply can't understand how car users impose "true costs" on everyone else, but not themselves, which is what the GP was claiming.

>But how do these drugs respond differently to the brains of people with and without ADHD? Weyandt said that she believes the human brain might need to be at a deficit of some kind for drugs like these to work. If not, they could have a detrimental effect.

>She said that neuroimaging research with people who have ADHD has found reduced activity — think blood flow — in parts of the brain associated with the condition’s symptoms when off medication.

>Once given the proper medication, the activity increases in these regions of the brain, and ADHD symptoms go down. So a person with ADHD has an improved ability to pay attention, and shows improved memory, planning, and response inhibition, she said.

Very good content! It's interesting that you use Rust here.
I think what people often overlook when discussing generics in Go and code performance that uses generics, is that... the most important thing here is that the code that uses generic sort implementation is: 1. much shorter and more straightforward 2. actually type safe. Even if performance of such code is the same or a bit lower, it does not matter, because the main benefit is that you finally don't have to rely on interfaces (especially an empty one in case of sort.Slice) and have fewer possibilities of runtime panics thanks to that.
My experience with QNX is with it used for automotive stuff, so everything was cross-compiled from normal Linux systems. The little bit of work I did with it did really not make me think that this was an useable workstation OS (although the speed was extremely appreciable)

You got me thinking... Are there any ways for a simple person to make it's own nuclear power reactor? You know, wind and solar is just "buy from internets and plug in", mostly, but what about nuclear? Would it even be legal? :-D
Why does the concept of "working hard" have to be a categorized by race when it is largely based on individual circumstances such as family income, parental upbringing, and immigration history? Someone who individually works hard that is a member of a group that is not considered to be hard working (or vice versa) would still be treated unfairly by this proposed system, making it no better than the status quo.
I'm not going to defend diversity but the idea is having a Paraguayan and Chinese would be better than two Paraguayans because you get insight from two cultures vs one.

Why are these push backs always associated with Republicans? Only 40% of CA democrats voted for Prop 16, for example, which would have reinstated affirmative action in CA public schools (it's currently prohibited in California, as decided by vote).

Nice idea! I have seen a solution of the problem when slides are on the left half of video and professor is on the right one but this is much more handy.

Also please create a videoplayer which allows easily to set a speed, to do play/stop and to go back in 1 second without interrupt of a typing in another application. That will be useful while learning code or translating audio/video content but might require some new controls in conventional keyboard.

Reduce the difficulty of proving discrimination, so there's less plausible deniability

The impact of burning gas isn't the only hidden cost. There are big health effects from air pollution caused by brake dust, tires, and other car components. There are all the people who are disabled and killed in crashes. There's all the space that could be used for parks, flood mitigation, etc if it wasn't dedicated to driving and storing cars. There's noise pollution that has a tangible impact on sleep and stress.
IQ tests tend to cluster around a pretty specific kind of thinking. Pattern matching. Logic. Math. Sometimes vocabulary.

Yeah those were terrible examples. But more proper ones would be: truck and van drivers for mail, food and other delivery to stores, bus drivers, taxi drivers, farmers, police, EMT, etc.
it's also kinda weird to write a blog post about a database being used for what is apparently a very specific use case without mentioning what that use case is. the burden of proof is on tailscale to explain why they need to deviate from industry norm here and clearly from the entire comment thread of people wondering the same thing as me they haven't done that. this blog post might actually be valuable if they included more context so that people could learn when something like this might be a good idea, especially since it's not a good idea >99% of the time. as is, no one should be surprised by this response.

That's because people are so accustomed to leveraging mountains of free candy that they've forgotten that a web page can be served with less than 1000ms of cpu time. I got a job once when I told a story about a web app I wrote was going viral getting a million visitors a day while I was strolling in the park. The web servers I write only need a single system call (writev) to serve gzip encoded assets so wrk says they can do a million requests per second on one pc. So it's not like it was any kind of big technical achievement even though it was a technical job. My point is that we're drowning in so much software that sometimes being a master class engineer all it takes is not using it.
I don't understand how GNU finds this acceptable...
I once was told by an HR person at a prior job, who almost certainly shouldn't have said it, regarding my PIP (I had extremely pathological sleep outcomes sometimes, unpredictably, but my boss and boss's boss etc loved my work), "It's really neat to see - usually when we get people on PIPs, it's because their bosses want them gone, but your boss really really wants to keep you. "

It rather stuck in my mind.

(I also did not, ultimately, end up exiting the company as a result of the PIP, just for completeness given the context of the thread.)

I’m being somewhat pedantic, but that clearly depends on the application.

Yes it all happens as chemistry. I mean the cause of the problem isn’t always what we would normally call “chemical”. That’s what I meant by “happening at the chemical level”.

I’m just drawing a distinction between something like depression caused by a B12 deficiency and depression caused by the loss of your spouse. Thinking can’t fix B12, but sometimes it helps with loss.

If I try to word it better, would you agree that sometimes mental health issues are caused by biological problems and sometimes by events in our lives and how we think about them?

I lost my boys 9 years ago, and I never knew how to put it into words. This made me cry.
I bought a OneNote four years ago (8GB RAM, 128GB MicroSD, 1.6GHz proc, 7" screen, tooled aluminium case). There's a lot to like about the form factor and I found the keyboard and screen adequate, running Debian and Mint successfully.

However, it's let down by two things; [a] the combination of processor speed and SD read/write times makes it slow for many things, and [b] the battery life has bettered three hours.

The most unfortunate thing is that after three years the battery started to bloat as it reached the end of its life, and I've found no way to get a replacement battery from China to my home in New Zealand. Local distributors don't stock them, shipping services won't transport them. I bought one and got it to a trans-shipping centre in the UK, but the NZ company responsible for the final leg of its journey declined to carry it. Currently the OneNote is out of commission.

But I remain very interested in devices with these form factors. I've owned two 11" Sony Vaio laptops which were remarkable machines in their day. I plan to purchase a PinePhone Pro with its keyboard case accessory, and I do think a clamshell (or detachable) with one the latest eInk displays (colour, variable refresh rate) would be a fantastic tool.
The initial pre-contract ~2 hour call would filter people out.

You can learn a ton about someone after generally chatting with them for 2 hours while staying decently focused on tech. People who are good at only talking can't bs their way through a type of call that's similar to how 2 folks might talk shop in a private conversation or a podcast. You can also get a good sense of how they think, how they act, how they think of others, etc.. In my opinion this is a much better initial filter than the usual interview questions.
> I think it's time we accept that the person we are talking to is who they say they are on their resume.

Yea because we live in a place where everyone is super honest and no one is going to try and take advantage of that to make 500k a year.

IMO, it doesn't work. Talk is cheap.

I wouldn't have a job if I had to talk my way into any company, I'm an introvert, I suck at communicating orally. But I can solve problems and write really good code. You throw problems at me during an interview and I'll solve them. Ultimately your company's code is not going to write itself.
That's not the way reality works. Lowering the evidentiary standard also lowers the credibility of the claims therefore increasing plausible deniability.
or the viral DNA might have an effect if demethylated.
Why “should” it be a one time payment…?
[EDIT] ... the battery life has never bettered three hours.
>Undoubtedly much of it could be pruned out with no undesirable result

Such hubris as this is what led us to:

- define DNA we didn't and still don't understand as useless "junk"

- call the appendix a useless vestigial organ

- declared "silenced" b-cells useless

The list goes on and on and on... When will somebody compile a list of how often science is wrong just to slap the arrogance out of people before they cost more time and lives with such reckless and impatient reasoning?
It's exactly this. As I said, I don't even know my brother's grief and we lost the same sister.

Nobody else knows the things about her that made me laugh, the little memories I have, the things about her that only I ever experienced in the way I experienced them. We shared things no one else can ever know.

I know for a fact that other people have experienced gigantic, devastating loss. Other people do know grief. Some of them know grief even more severe than mine. I encourage them to say so to grieving people, because it is important that people know they aren't alone.

But not one person who has ever lived or can ever live has lost my relationship with my sister but me. Saying otherwise reduces her to just "a person who died," not this person who had this life and this relationship, who has now died.

And that's what's so radically insulting about it. Don't do that to a grieving person. If people matter individually at all, then the grief of the people who loved them is fundamentally unknowable by anybody else.

I think anyone who has entered into the depths of their own grief knows this.

I don't expect to be able to convince the whole internet.
You should have a QuickStart. Use the ReadMe to explain what the QuickStart does. Then, use the QuickStart as a skeleton on which to elaborate things not covered.
> I simply can't understand how car users impose "true costs" on everyone else, but not themselves, which is what the GP was claiming.

The point is that everybody pays the costs whether they drive or not. If the costs were more directly tied to how much each person drives, there would be a lot less driving overall.
> But the truly nasty part about AI and RL in particular is that the AI will act as if anything that it didn't see often enough during training simply doesn't exist. If it never sees a pink truck from the side, no "virtual neurons" will grow to detect this. AIs in general don't generalize. So if your driving dataset lacks enough examples of 0.1% black swan events, you can be sure that your AI is going to go totally haywire when they happen. Like "I've never seen a truck sideways before => it doesn't exist => boom."

Let's not overstate the problem here. There are plenty of AI things which would work well to recognize a sideways truck. Look at CLIP, which can also be plugged into DRL agents (per the cake); find an image of your pink truck and text prompt CLIP with "a photograph of a pink truck" and a bunch of random prompts, and I bet you it'll pick the correct one. Small-scale DRL trained solely on a single task is extremely brittle, yes, but trained over a diversity of tasks and you start seeing transfer to new tasks and composition of behaviors and flexibility (look at, say, Hide-and-Seek or XLAND).

These are all in line with the bitter hypothesis that much of what is wrong with them is not some fundamental problem that will require special hand-designed "generalization modules" bolted onto them by generations of grad students laboring in the math mines, but simply that they are still trained on too undiverse problems for too short a time with too little data using too little models, and that just as we already see strikingly better results in terms of generalization & composition & rare datapoints from past scaling, we'll see more in the future.

What goes wrong with Tesla cars specifically, I don't know, but I will point out that Waymo manages to kill many fewer people and so we shouldn't consider Tesla performance to even be SOTA on the self-driving task, much less tell us anything about fundamental limits to self-driving cars and/or NNs.

I noticed that last week and was quite surprised by it.

I was writing a script to get the permissions of all files. I wrote something like ls -l | grep -oE '^[^ ]+' and ran it in my home directory for testing. And then I was surprised that the output was wrong. Turned out I had files with \n in their name there and ls was printing them on two lines which confused the grep. (I still used that script, since I did not have any \n files on the real system)

I was actually building an exam for a course involving shell scripting. A common question was, do something with all the files in the current directory, like grep them or delete them. The lecture notes said to use * for all those files, but then I realized rm * would not work in all possible cases. I spend like an hour to find a hopefully correct solution. However, the professor said, the students would never figure it out in an exam, and I should just put * as model solution. The shells is extremely brittle

You can follow these steps and learn about network interfaces and IP addresses or you can use my app (https://expose.sh) and get a public URL for your service in a single command.

What they mean is that the vehicle-specific costs they incur aren't sufficient to cover the true costs to society, from pollution cleanup to road maintenance. Instead, those funds must be drawn from general sources like income taxes. Once you account for social ills like pollution, the costs end up falling disproportionately on the people who can least afford them and contribute the least to the problem.
Maybe introduce new grounds for suing - if the stock underperforms, and leadership is showing a bias in its demographics, then the share holders can sue for presumptive discrimination reducing the quality of decision making.

Laws can’t make people love each other. We have to make that choice on our own. We learn to accept and include others through our life experiences and the examples set by leaders in our society. If you want people to change their behavior, set a good example for others to follow and encourage others to follow suit.
