Thanks for this writeup! Software engineers should definitely learn about Transformers. They are a significant step-change in the advancement of deep learning. They've proven useful in multiple domains outside of natural language, including computer vision and audio.

This opens up the world of multi-modal models which represent concepts by considering multiple types of input. The most popular one has been OpenAI's CLIP [0]

If anyone's interested, I run a podcast and did an episode on Transformer models and their implications [1]. Check it out!

Existing ROMs don't change (hey, they're *read-only*) unless it's a better dump or perhaps some subcomponent was previously emulated through high-level emulation. There's generally no need to do anything with ROMs but it is beneficial to update MAME.

I started in 2007 as a keyboardist in a rock band when I was in the college. After graduation in 2009, I never play in a band again. But, I still continue playing music and tinkering with synthesizers as a hobby.

Now, I fall in love with ambient and generative music. For the DAW, I use Logic Pro to produce my music and my podcast.
Or maybe the more attractive people are just more attractive to T. Gondii.
This can be a good entry into the "why" for many people that use xargs now -

It has a lot of features that can feel excessive at first glance but if you have felt some pain in building jobs, most of it is pretty sensible and much better than rollyourown.
Let me tell you that growing up off the rez I have a pretty good idea of why indigenous kids growing up on the rez aren’t building wealth and it has largely to do with two things:

1) intergenerational trauma needs to be called what it is which is neglect and child abuse.

2) PC victimhood culture and the politicians who take advantage of it to convince people they just need more handouts instead of to stop abusing their children and take responsibility for their lives.

There is real discrimination in society things like Japanese internment but you don’t see any issue with Japanese people lifting themselves out of poverty.

These laws based on what goes on in the bedroom are not enforceable anyway. Everyone is going to self-identify as "bi" or "queer" if that becomes a requirement of entry in high profile jobs and it will be a impossible to verify.

I am working on Glicol, the next generation computer music language that runs in browsers and many other platforms. The goal is to help people with zero coding and music production background to get started with music programming. Yet it is also quite innovative and revolutionary as few languages can have these features together:

- run in browsers with a near native speed

- rethink music interaction in live coding from the audio library design perspective

- come with a new collaboration mechanism with decentralized demo

- run on different DAWs as a VST plugin

- run on development boards such as Bela

- support both high-level music sequencing and low-level sample-level audio synthesis

You can try it here:

It would be great that if you can give me some feedback here or on GitHub:

I’d be interested in hearing about any experiences HN users have had with IFS. It was something I initially dismissed as sounding pretty woo, but I’ve been hearing enough about it lately that I’ve been thinking it’s worth a second look, and considering trying it. It seems like it may have some potential to fill in some of the gaps that CBT + mindfulness + casual stoicism have fallen short on.

One concern I have is whether these “parts” are actually considered to be present in the mind prior to therapy, or if the therapy itself is what actually instantiates them. I definitely agree that the mind is a very complex mix of various mental structures, rather than one single cohesive “self”, but I don’t know if I yet buy this idea of discrete “subpersonalities”. I could see it potentially being a useful tool, though, for grouping and understanding your own behaviors and impulses with compassion. When I read some people’s experiences with IFS it almost sounds like they’re talking about tulpas, which makes me slightly nervous about the possibility for woo. But despite that, I can see the potential for it being a helpful model for approaching and trying to understand the complexities and contradictions of your own mind, from a place of compassion.

Any HN users had good or bad experiences with IFS?
They do have wonderful look. Reminds me of the mid 1990s web. Edit: Btw, I love solar-powered projects. Thanks so much for sharing!
Any ideas for teachers of how to teach? Forbid smartphones? Restrict lessons to 15 seconds long and homework length to 140 symbols? Add meme lessons? Monetization of right answers? I am kidding but not joking, the problem is really here.
That's interesting thanks
To save everyone’s time, I would have just two interviews progressively. First one explain in detail something that you have been part of building. Second pick and solve a problem from a list of problems that we face, use all the tools you need from the internet book etc but solve along with interviewers as if they need to do this but you need to convince them why it should be done this way.

Put as many engineers as I need to be on these two calls.

That’s it. Anything else is an overkill.

I am looking for someone who given time can play exactly shades of these two kind of roles in my team.

Let rest of the engineers witness as you perform.

Will have prep interview to help you understand the format and not to be intimidated by the number of interviewers or the format.

I have hired in big tech, people who will not pass these two tests get hired.

I don’t care if you remember an algorithm. I need to know that you would be able to research and get to know such algorithm and know why to use that.
IMO, one factor is that women are still the ones to bear children, and legislation, diversity guidelines, and complete elimination of prejudice aren't going to change that. Several women I know have said that after having children, their priorities changed instantly. Some tried to go back to work for a while, but in the end could not handle being separated from their baby. My sister is an example: she's a CPA, tried to go back to work, but ended up starting her own practice and working from home. She did this through both of her kids' childhoods, so a good 24 years.

I'm not saying there is no prejudice against women or other minorities. Only that it's not easy to look at statistics and conjure up always-correct reasons behind the statistics.

"Our results suggest that some sexually transmitted parasites, such as T. gondii, may be correlated with appearance and behavior of the human host."

I appreciate your viewpoint. I would counter it by saying that there are two sources of uncertainty here: choice of model & sampling variance. It's my opinion that in scientific writing, one should be precise with which source of uncertainty they are guarding. If I'm allowed to group these together, why can't I make a similar statement of causation of any old spurious correlation - when obviously my model is bad?

Considering this example again - isn't it arbitrary that the authors get to choose which hypothesis (among many, like attractive people being predisposed to own cats) they get to claim "may" be demonstrated?

That Y chromosome was added by applying same analysis workflow to a different biological source (CORIELL:NA24385, a NIST standard material used in the Genome in a Bottle project). The other chromosomes are all from the CHM13htert line (if you click on the individual chromosomes at your link above, you can scroll down to the "/isolate" feature to see what material the sequence was derived from). There's a long tradition of having a reference assembly be a combination of different individuals. Even the "standard" GRCh38/hg38 reference doesn't represent any single individual.
I mean, it's popsci.com...what did you expect? /s

Yeah, the article confuses a lot of physics and doesn't make sense from a wavelength standpoint. Of course, light has similar properties than electromagnetic waves, but sound definitely doesn't have anything to do other than it can be described with wavelengths.

If you approach the terahertz spectrum, however, resonance is getting a little complicated because it can hit the natural vibrations of molecules. I guess that's what the author was trying to write about in terms of potential medical/scanning applications.

As moving molecules physically in order to create terahertz frequencies seems unfeasible (as of now, u know, because lack of vacuum to make it possible), the only possibility is to generate electromagnetic frequencies and/or light based emissions.

Electromagnetic frequencies for transmission on that scale get complicated real fast though, due to interference and basically everything making it worse, from humidity to infrared waves until basically all longer molecules.

Finding a molecule to use this as a transmission medium in something like a chip as a circuit is a whole other question.

Overall I think the article tries to make "this is ohmagerd" point without understanding the basic physical interactions, laws and properties.
Btw you don't need to do these. I and a few of my friends have got into FAANG and other companies in the past by having a good network and having really solid work in the past.
You're right - this was my impression too! You read a few dramatic posts about being hugged and you get this idea that HN is a behemoth that DDoSes everything it loves. Thanks for the context!
Alternative hypothesis: they did hire the correct people, but working there is so unpleasant that very few people decide to stick around.
Well said, lol
As a sibling reply said, I'm not making an argument. I'm asking for the relevance of your reply to the statement you replied to. I think there are a lot of confounding factors to the data you presented, so personally consider it to hold very little value on its own. You're the one who seems to draw meaning from it.

So, what meaning do you draw from it? What explanation do you have for these discrepancies? How do they relate to what you replied to?

In other words, show your work.

What is your opinion as an expert and a biologist?

ETA: I am not interested in an never ending ‘what about’ or gotcha games. However, if you are willing, I will walk you through critical thinking process using logic and multi modal approach to answering questions that confound us.

I will present you with a set of questions you can answer as a biologist/expert or you can google. At the end of it, you will arrive at the answer you want. It will be fun.
Assuming discrimination exists in order to justify discriminatory policies in response is a doozy of a begging the question fallacy.

> What argument is there to explain the underrepresentation that doesn't ultimately confirm that it is actually discrimination?

There are myriad reasons applicable to different groups. Age and immigration status are big ones. Almost all of the so-called “bamboo ceiling” (the theory that Asians are underrepresented in management and board positions) can be explained by the fact that the older cohorts from which board members are drawn typically have a lot fewer Asians than the 6-7% average for the overall population, and the fact that most Asians are first generation immigrants and many don’t speak English fluently or lack US citizenship.

Similarly for Hispanics, a lot of disparities are simply due to recency of immigration. Lots of Hispanics are recent immigrants from very poor countries who come here for economic reasons. Within a couple of generations, however, Hispanics more or catch up to native born whites: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353.

A lot of these “lack of proportionality proves discrimination” arguments are just lazy and don’t compare like with like.
I can only really comment on a few of those. The Paris Review and New Criterion are very US-centric and very much stick to literature and arts, much narrower in scope. Granta I remember from being a teenager and I don’t know if much has changed but it was very much focused on authors and stories whereas the LRB seems to exist closer to reality, in that it illuminates both contemporary issues and historical ones with great expertise and is doesn’t shy from being exceedingly political, encouraging debate. It’s like a deeper, more positive version of Private Eye in some of its work, and doesn’t assume that its readers are immersed in the specialised language of literature, art or drama, and is very refreshing in a world where the US dominates English-language writing. They also give a free print subscription to a friend of a subscriber - sadly I’ve just given mine rise you could have had it and potentially enjoyed it for a year.

It’s also more frequent which allows it to move quickly, somewhere between a weekend newspaper supplement and a monthly periodical.
An average FAANG SWE (l4-l5 equivalent across all including msft) is pulling in 250-400K salaried. Convert that to hourly corp-to-corp rates and yeah you're looking at a billable rate of 200/hr or more for a lot of potential hires.
The referenced study is weird[0]. It uses smoking and drinking as a proxy for recklessness in men, but doesn't seem to take into account at all whether the women who were evaluating the men smoked or drank themselves. It's like it forgot it was specifically about smoking and drinking, not recklessness.

Smoking and drinking women young women (<30) would intuitively find smoking and drinking men more attractive for a short term thing, and find that behavior less acceptable for the long term as they probably find it less acceptable for themselves in the long term. Somebody else did this analysis with smokers, but didn't treat the women as fungible[1]. They found the heightened attraction to smokers was limited to smokers.

IMO, we don't really need explanation for why reckless (i.e. brave, risky decisionmaking) people have more short-term relationships. They're more willing to proposition people (brave), and more willing to sleep with people who they will ultimately decide they actually don't like (risky decisionmaking.) This is by definition, as valid if not more than the use smoking and drinking as a definitive sign or recklessness.

I'm not saying that people who smoke and drink are more likely to make brave and risky decisions when it comes to interactions with potential sexual partners, but both sets of behaviors can be called "reckless."

> in what world [are] women are more likely to causally sleep with the cautious inconspicuous male vs the reckless bad-boy.

The world in which the cautious inconspicuous male approached her, and the reckless bad boy didn't. Reckless behavior in women is also attractive, but it isn't due to conforming to some chad stereotype; it's due to the fact that if a woman makes bad decisions, sleeping with you might be one of them.

It is unfortunate we are still misdirecting funds to fruitless endeavors like genetics. As we know, genetics has little influence on your individual biology or behavior, as race is a social construct and each human shares 99.9% of their DNA with each other. Further, hegemonic tools of assigning assumed traits to people, like gender and IQ, are also social constructs, so any connection they have to genetics is moot. If we are truly interested in having a diverse, equitable understanding of people, we should instead invest in efforts that actually seek to understand them as people: therapy, rehabilitation, and decolonization work.

We should probably ask someone who took a heat transfer or other undergrad physics class, but from my basic understanding of the physics, "concentrating heat" isn't really a thing - at the very least, you'd need to extract the energy from a heat differential into some other form to do this.

There is zero evidence that invasion is poorly planned.

Russian forces are around 250-270k (including Donjeck forces of around 70k), while Ukrainian forces are around 600k strong.

Russians are effectively in complete control of the battlefield, while outnumbered 2 to 1.

You should survey people who got legacy admits to business schools about the pain of having success made easier, and then survey some members of underrepresented groups about discrimination they have experienced in the current day and the current society.

The issue here is that people from over represented groups have historically and presently received an unearned lift to their prospects of success, and everyone else has the complementary push against them. Trace this back to the families of one taking wealth in the past from the families of the other one or not, your question is very discordant from the reality of our society.
It doesn't affect your right to do anything with the software. It doesn't even affect your right to remove this citation notice (and some distributions do so). Free software is not about software not being annoying; merely about your right to remove the annoyances.

I also have an outdoor solar light that I’m not using and a raspberry pi zero. I dunno how solar controllers work or what a small one might require. I also wonder if I could run this off of 4 or 8 AA rechargeable batteries and then just feed the solar panel into those. If it worked, they may not work long due to charge/discharge without a proper controller, but maybe that’s okay with replaceable batteries. I have no idea if it could start this simple.
