Because these deans of "diversity" get paid a lot of money to bikeshed about useless issues while not actually having any impact on the school. It's run exclusively as a PR stunt to satisfy the whiners in the school. It's one example of the many cases of unneeded, useless headcount in universities that's contributing to bloat. I can't name a single time where anyone with the word diversity in their title at my former college did anything concrete.

> US universities do not run as democracies. The appointed deans and the president run the show.

That's not really the case especially in public universities. If you want to make a change that might step on a lot of toes you need to get buy in from people. They aren't explicit democracies where everyone votes, but nonetheless you need to secure acceptance from people to get things done.

To give you an example of the useless bureaucracy, I once had to submit a reimbursement for some research expenses and was bounced around for several months between different forms and different people. Any 1 part of the reimbursement that didn't match the forms exactly meant the entire thing would be rejected. This was to access grant money that wasn't even the university's, it was the lab's. In corporate settings people don't give a shit and approve it as long as it looks legitimate.
> This is great to hear about India.

It is and I hope india is able to develop.

> The more developed and economically successful the world’s largest democracy is, the better for the world in general.

Who cares whether india is a democracy or not? It's so odd people parrot the propaganda so religiously. Every post about india inevitably mentions something about india being the largest democracy. Who cares? If india wasn't a democracy, should we hope 1.4 billion indians revel in poverty?

> The US, Europe, and allies should be doing whatever we can to support this.

We will support as long as india is poor and unsuccessful. As soon as they get rich and strong, we'll attack them just like we did to japan in the 80s and china today. The largest geographical democracy is russia and boy we surely don't support them. And we sanctioned india when they developed nukes in 90s, even though they were a democracy.

How about we support india lifting hundreds of millions of humans being out of poverty and worry less about democracy which has kept them in poverty for nearly years after independence?
The ones I mentioned most certainly were not small scale. The taiping rebellion alone eventually had hundreds of thousands of troops by time time it essentially turned into a civil war.

As for hunger, the last mass famine in China was during the Great Leap Forward. Let's also not forget the effects of the Cultural Revolution.

I think you vastly overestimate the extent to which governments and populace form an "us versus them" mentality- it is rarely so simple as government on one side, populace on the other. At the end of the day, no matter who wins, someone still has to be in charge, and no large group of people will readily agree on exactly who or how.

Fair, social is not the correct choice of word here. Really just "not-technological."

If I were to fish for a better word, I'd probably shoot for literacy/education. I have seen far more successful and smarter (and trained) people fall for phishing attempts than makes sense. Such that, as long as we keep putting more and more capability into our devices, expect people to allow use of that to malicious software. That is, as long as the device is capable of doing something, expect that it will be exploited.

To your point, though, I could also have claimed that poor driving was an education problem. We certainly used to spend more time in educational classes to learn to drive. And yet, I have no doubt that my children will be better/safer drivers than I am with virtually no classes. Mostly thanks to technological improvements.

So, please show some charity in how you read my criticisms of the idea here. I'm not trying to defend some paper with iron clad logic. Just expressing my doubts. And hoping the other side actually proves me wrong. :D
if u go up it looks like there is a `debug_trampoline` function. so they are saying the `debug_trampoline_end` is a precompiled version of the `debug_trampoline` one. not sure if this is true or not
> Technology has made it possible to be a more effective manager and leader.

How so?

I've built a few different organizations now and each time I've found that I need to introduce a middle management layer somewhere around 18 and 24 engineers.

The limit is always things that are really hard to automate or replace with technology like 1 on 1s, keeping a pulse on how the team is feeling, coaching people on career growth, etc.

Because it's a mostly unregulated market. A new competitor has minimal government regulations to satisfy in order to start and everyone and their dog can start doing this job (and believe me, I've met some interesting agents when looking for the best deals both looking for rent and renting out my property). The big centralised agencies don't really have a way to stop smaller agents offering cheaper services and serving different markets (even if they're just different neighbourhoods) is hard.

This is how capitalism works when there is no government helping monopolies to form in the name of security / justice / anti-money laundering / insert-politician-buzzword-of-the-day.
Another option might be product management. I just had discussions with a few friends and mentors about this.

As a product manager, you could study culture, arts, technology, politics, etc. All seems relevant to designing and improving products.
That has always shocked me as well.

Even houses can be difficult in many cases.
I'm still not sure renters really have a reasonable expectation of privacy when the place they are living in is listed for rent or sale by someone else.

In most places renters are only granted 24 hours notice to have complete strangers come walk through their living spaces while the space is shown off. They have no real right to refuse to allow that.

If people start knocking on their door asking to come look at the place they are free to refuse, or ignore the doorbell or anything else. Of course they have a freedom against being harassed, so if people persist they can get police involved. That seems like a separate issue to me from having their address posted online in a rental listing.
I dunno, it sounded very clearly connected with the topic, and an illustration of the topic with a concrete example.

Perhaps you wanted an abstract presentation of the point instead?
My point isn’t about style but the content and the artistic statement of the content. Both have deep possible interpretations, and if they were drawn by a human artist could motivate a ton of analysis.
It’s easy to have outrage in retrospect, but during the early days of the pandemic it seemed that every business would be decimated. You also have to remember that lawyers and accountants and these types of businesses you deem unworthy have lots of support staff, many of which would have been fired but for PPP funds.

I seriously question $80b being labeled as waste or even fraud. We look back now and can say lots of businesses didn’t need the funds, but only because programs like PPP stabilized the entire economy and created enough confidence to handle the transition.

So we as a society spent $80b but avoid Trillions of harm from what would have been the worst recession in two generations. Seems like a good trade.

Let’s give them the benefit and say they get all their expected tasks done in that 32 hours.

What’s disappointing is wasting that time on social media, when those extra 8 hours could be to improve a process, do some self-learning, mentoring, research… at least, that’s what I do if what I need to get done doesn’t fill the week.
A trampoline in code is something you jump off of - essentially, a redirection snippet. You jump into it and it bounces you somewhere else.

In this case, the use is documented where it's implemented: https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-bootrom/blob/master/boot... . It's a custom wrapper to call ROM functions. When the ROM function returns, the trampoline executes a debugger breakpoint. This is done so that the debugger can call into ROM easily without needing to set a hardware breakpoint.

Who builds the houses? Who handles the power generation? Who maintains the roads?

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of work goes into a functioning society.
Software collaborations tend to end poorly in Academia from my experience. This is due to most of the day to day boring software work being viewed as "less than" the sexy publishable research.

What this means is that academic software projects become spaghetti code messes that no one wants to touch at warp speed.
We need a slew of things to change but not much will with the current power imbalances. Courts still won't/aren't going to hold companies accountable when million dollar lawyers and well priced bribes can save their assess.

Arguing about which band aid is best feels a bit like a distraction.
Perhaps this came from the age of consent rather than the age of marriage. I just did a quick search and found that for women the age of consent in the USA in the 1800s was typically down to 10 years old, except for Delaware where it was 7 (yes! 7!) years old.
It is not. debug_trampoline_end is just a label in this context.
That seems like a terrible joke. Even as a joke rather than a real policy, that's a great way to create a culture where people are afraid to ask questions and instead pretend to understand things they don't.
>40 years later, the idea of living in any of theses houses fills me with a certain kind of dread, because I now understand how much work it would be to keep them clean and to maintain them

Lightning mitigates high transaction fees by pooling.

I agree with long term concerns as block rewards decrease, though, which is why I prefer Monero’s tail emission to Bitcoin’s model.

Part of the brilliance of block rewards is it actually does pay for itself. Miners are rewarded for their efforts, and the reward amount varies based on the needs of the network.

At least that’s been true for the past decade, prior to getting towards the supply cap. It’ll be extremely interesting to see how miners behave as the rewards decrease in reality vs in theory. My personal belief is that the lack of tail emission and resultant price increase will keep bitcoin alive indefinitely, but make it more and more static overtime, even with stuff like lightning, and turn it into a kind of reserve note. This is not a novel theory and is what many are seeing happening.

I’m most bullish on Monero long term/think it’s extremely under-appreciated as a viable means for the mind of decentralized uncensorable micro-transactions people in the space all fantasize about.
Real enforcement with teeth would help a lot with several issues. One of the biggest is that construction projects in California drag on and on because an inspector will show up at a non-union job site to stop work and survey the labor to make sure they are getting paid and have fair working conditions. By "frequently" I mean weekly or more. This has massive productivity impacts, but they have to keep doing it because wage theft is endemic. If wage theft convictions came with decades-long prison sentences, this would stop. Unfortunately the public does not have an appetite for punishing white-collar crime, they only want long prison sentences for homeless guys who steal shampoo.
I feel like we’re adding graph meta-modeling on top of Tony Hoare CSP. If these graphs were not dags we would be heading into cybernetics. I want to feel like this is novel but can’t escape the idea that the boundaries of a multi-way model are arbitrary.

It also seems like a natural next step for automata modeling.

Maybe I am missing the breakthrough.

Fair point - I ought to have stated my intention along with the "Media Bias Fact Check" (MBFC) link.

I'm unconcerned with the political position of the site, but I am concerned out the "mixed" quality rating. There's as awful lot of content out there, and MBFC provides a quick-and-dirty evaluation of whether you might want to engage more deeply with any given (new to you) source.

New Scaling Laws for Large Language Models
The two passages are not, in my opinion, similar enough to insinuate copyright infringement. The only similarities are the general melodic contour and some (not all) of the chords. Even though the overall shape of the melodies is similar, they do have many differences, to the point where I would not say it is 'copied'. The chord progression under them is different, but most clearly the groove and delivery are not at all alike between the two pieces. Even though both Shape of You and No Scrubs are hit songs, I had never noticed the similarity until this. If this standard was enough to find copyright infringement, you could nail every third song on the charts somehow.
"Sheeran's lifting was so blatant I assumed he was intentionally quoting it."

This BBC article features a side-by-side comparison of the songs. People can made their own mind whether they think it amounts to plagiarism. (Scroll down the middle of the page to the video in the article)

Ed Sheeran: Copyright case was about honesty, not money: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61026308

I don't think the claim of plagiarism holds at all. Also, it was Sheeran who brought the case to court to clear his name of the accusation (not the other party).

Musicians and composers have always been influenced by other music artists. This is particularly true for orchestral music (classical works or soundtracks).

Seemlessly integrating spreadsheets into jupyter sounds like the holy grail to me. I haven't tried it yet, though.

I think their users are people like me - who work a lot in Jupyter and swear by it - in a Python data analysis/visualisation environment. To bring in the best of spreadsheets into that could be magical. To just work in libreoffice calc or Excel would be a nonstarter, it just doesn't match all the other python tools in the workflow.
This reads a bit like a spurious decompilation. It's sorta valid but doing very weird things. Random bytes will often decompile to valid Thumb that looks sort of right like this all the time.

04 pop {pc} -> this is an odd way to return from a function on ARM, and likely means that these first bytes would be a very odd function.

06 push {lr} -> OK, maybe a valid prologue, but this function ignores the result of the cmp and calls 0x14.

As an example, many customers are asking to connect our SaaS solutions to their internal network via some site2site tunnel, so they can just keep their legacy databases like they are. However, our implementation consultants have tried doing things like this and it's ... not pretty. Like, it's possible, but hard to manage and hard to maintain.

However again, it's hard for a solution consultant or development team directly involved in the project implementation to say no and it always results in discussions that are hard to do, because your only real argument is "I don't want to implement that". And that's when it becomes helpful to refer to us in operations/security as some external authority. Suddenly "I don't want to implement this nonsense" becomes "Sorry, but our plattform operations team is blocking this implementation due to several internal security policies. There is very little I can do, except for trying to setup a call with them, but you know how busy security folks can be".

It's in a different key or something, and has different instrumentation, so it sounds different, despite the basic melody.
+1 to https://funda.nl. In fact as a new immigrant I bought house completely through funda. They have nice tie-ups with all the regulatory/certificate providers such as construction report etc., Fantastic experience overall.

Selling though is a completely different story it's almost impossible without an agent. And they do provide a valuable service; like photo session, publishing on funda and others, taking care of house-viewing etc.,
This seems like the ultimate manifestation of old adage "there are no girls on the internet." I suspect that females (especially those not in the tech industry) tend to overwhelmingly hold accounts in their real name, whereas the vast majority of pseudonymous posters are men. It makes a lot of sense from a social conditioning perspective of communication: that females tend to be more relationship-focused whereas males tend to be more object-focused.

As a result, for girls, getting misgendered under a pseudonymous account is seen as danger that comes with the territory. And of course they take it in stride, because that's just what women do all the time.

INA 214(h) may be interpreted as follows:

"In addition, INA 214(h) provides that an H-1B nonimmigrant may have "dual intent," i.e., the fact that an H-1B nonimmigrant has sought permanent residence in the United States or will be seeking such status in the future does not preclude him or her from obtaining or maintaining H-1B nonimmigrant status. The applicant may legitimately come to the United States as a nonimmigrant under the H-1B classification and depart voluntarily at the end of his or her authorized period of stay, and, at the same time, lawfully seek to become a permanent resident of the United States without jeopardizing H-1B nonimmigrant status. Consequently, your evaluation of an applicant’s eligibility for an H-1B visa must not focus on the issue of immigrant intent." [1]

If multiple candidates compete over the same apt, no searching method in the world will resolve the issue. Either you have high supply of apts, or a super intelligent city software that matches people to available apartments based on their socioeconomic and professional profiles.
A lot of NYC agents also do this to supplement income. Real estate is feast-or-famine, and especially during the slower sales markets you can find that agents are highly incentivized to do a good job. But yeah, you're going to take a back-seat to the purchase transaction in a hot market, unless you make it worth their while on a dollar-per-hour basis. That's the downside of using a "regular" real estate agent.

In NYC specifically, there are agencies that make most of their business from renter-side representation. You can find the good ones easily on the usual review sites.

There were also problems with e.g. young children with well-to-do parents being given only canned food and getting scurvy. The theme was again about a supposed better-planned diet than what poorer people from less advanced times had to use.
