There's an example tweet where Google suggests that 'landlord' is not inclusive and 'property owner' or 'proprietor' could be used instead.

This will encourage people to avoid the word 'landlord'. They will start using 'property owner'. I'm not okay with that. A homeowner is a property owner. A landlord rents out the property they own. The terms shouldn't be conflated like that (as much as many landlords might want them to be).
He might mean features like dropout, or out of sample training, randomness that's introduced during training. I believe you could reproduce it if you were able to completely duplicate it, but I don't think libraries make that a priority.
HR at Activision-Blizzard may have significant D&I initiatives but it categorically does not apply to their CEO Bobby Kotick.
"When comparing the money raised against estimated revenue, you see a big factor difference between SQL companies and Graph/Multi-model companies. SQL companies raised at 20-30x (with AirTable “lagging” at 14x), while all Graph/Multi-model companies raised at 4-7x."

This data is from late stages. So, idea/market makes a difference in all stages.

Great team is a subjective idea, just like great product is. It's hard to objectively differentiate -- so traction/revenue becomes a proxy to both of those.

> For example, in the U.S. the word "master" might be triggering

Before a few years ago, I seriously doubt that innocuous uses of the word "master" were triggering to anyone beyond a very small group of political activists. It's a common word that is used in many contexts completely unrelated to slavery. Nobody with their head soundly on their shoulders was triggered when they heard phrases like "master chef," "master bedroom" or "master's degree."

There's a difference between avoiding language that actually does have strongly negative or prejudicial associations and actively seeking out reasons to be upset about completely innocuous common phrases. There are words that really do become polluted (like "Führer" in German, which used to be a normal word for "leader," but which now is strongly associated with a certain someone), but there are also words that are completely harmless that people work to try to make an issue out of for ideological reasons (e.g., "whitelist").

There's a certain strain of politics in the US which does actively seek out and attempt to remove "problematic" language. You may agree with that politics. But a lot of people (myself included) don't think that "problematizing" innocuous phrases like "master chef" is actually helping anyone, and rather see it as a form of bullying.
You lost this debate, like, five replies up.

By reporting I actually meant showing images

Inaccurate. If they obtained images by some other way, such as leaked from an airman who was there or taken with a long range lens there was nothing barring them from publishing them.

However I'm pretty sure it was during the 2nd gulf war, not the 1st.

Bro you're in front of a computer. If you doubted me it would take you ten seconds to verify that the photographer ban was imposed in 1991.
You don't seem to know what cancel culture refers to. It's not the celebrities you listed. It's women being deplatformed for expressing traditionally feminist positions; it's students calling for biology professors to be fired because the professor teaches that the sexes are fundamentally binary in Homo sapiens.
This is incredibly cool. Love to see anything that encourages repair and reuse of parts that still have some life left in them!

If I hadn’t just recently bought a new laptop I’d likely be going for a Framework today, and provided they’re still around when it’s time for an upgrade it’ll probably be my next laptop. (I suspect it’ll be a while before I need a new one though.)
Netflix had a good recommendation algorithm for their DVD catalog. Now they hide the fact that they mostly have mediocre 2-star content by making their system more opaque.
The Altered Carbon ordeal is interesting. Like you mentioned, everyone I know who watched it loved the first season and hated the second season. I thought second season was ok. Ok, then it's immediately cancelled, I'm guessing for lack of viewership after the first season (and man, if they maintained the first season it could've been such an epic 6 season show. There was a lot of story left to tell).

But what's really interesting, maybe related to "the message" you mention, is that critics were the complete opposite of the audience and liked the second season even more! There was an article on HN recently about how critics seem out-of-touch with the audience. This was quite the glaring example.

Season 1: 70% critics, 90% audience: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/altered_carbon/s01

Season 2: 81% critics, 37% audience: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/altered_carbon/s02
Yes, just like "actor" is gender-neutral (although "actress" is still explicitly female).
For those of you who aren't up on your Nintendo emulation pricing schemes, here's the current model. If you want to play an old NES, SNES, and N64 game, Nintendo makes those available on their current console, the Switch. However, unlike other games, those classic Nintendo titles are not for sale. Instead, you may access them via a monthly subscription, "Nintendo Switch Online."

However, the N64 titles are behind a second paywall. If you want to play Mario 64, you need to sign up for a SECOND monthly subscription called the "Expansion Pack." Also however, if you want your kids to also be able to play N64 games on their profiles, that requires a "Family Membership."

Nintendo ties a few other perks into the plan, like a really tiny Amazon Prime, so the base subscription also unlocks online play in general (like an XBox or Playstation subscription), and expansion packs for certain games require the second subscription, like the latest features for Animal Crossing or new tracks for Mario Kart.

Charging me $20 to play Ocarina of Time is a lot, but it's a reasonable price that I would probably pay well before I started looking into emulation. But renting Ocarina of Time to me for $80/year is just awful.
I’ve used FastMail happily for 4 years now. I truly appreciate the web interface and I use Thunderbird when I need to send encrypted emails.

Price comparison:

Fastmail: $5x12 = $60/year

ProtonMail: €48 = $51/year

FastMail is 30GB, custom domain, infinite aliases

ProtonMail is 5GB, custom domain, 5 aliases.

For someone who uses IMAP and creates aliases when signing up / for filtering rules, as alternative to Google’s +addresses, FastMail looks like a better choice on the surface.

Can you convince me that ProtonMail is so much a better choice? Privacy matters to me, too.
Monopoly, no. But Google certainly dominates education in the US:

"Today, more than half the nation’s primary- and secondary-school students — more than 30 million children — use Google education apps like Gmail and Docs, the company said. And Chromebooks, Google-powered laptops that initially struggled to find a purpose, are now a powerhouse in America’s schools. Today they account for more than half the mobile devices shipped to schools."

> For example we could use "African-American" in non ironic way, correct word now is probably capitalised "Black", that was offensive just a few decades ago.

I could consider that a substantial improvement, to be honest. I actually knew a real African American, but almost everyone I've met who is called African American seems to in fact just be American. I wouldn't want to be called European American, myself, so I have always thought 'black' and 'white' where sufficient when a racial descriptor needs to be used for whatever reason.
TIL. I should have known this... Maybe I'll start packing my structs too.
Love Bridgerton. But most of what I watch is on Prime. Severance on Apple was just too dark. Stuff like Paramount I get through Prime too. HBO made half of a really interesting series and then just walked away.
Try it out, it’s so much faster and more actively developed compared to spacemacs. Chances are you’ll love it. The community is very active on discord and discourse. There are roughly 2000 users on each platform. Doom and emacs in general has seen an uptick in the last few years (anecdotally). Doom is such a wonderful project, with an excellent maintainer (hlissner).
Pretty much every new Netflix show will have some combination of the following:

- female characters are always independent, strong-willed, etc. Even if the story calls for someone that's the opposite.

- male characters are either generic muscle or have some stereotypically negative quality like aggression

- at least one main character is always black (and only black - don't even think about Asian or Middle Eastern or anyone that might look white), even if the story doesn't make sense

- at least one main character is gay, queer, or trans, even if the story doesn't make sense. I live in an ultra blue city and the population here is not as LGBT as Netflix plots are. I don't really care that there are LGBT characters but when you shove it into every story plot it gets old.

- every story line is about some part of the liberal political agenda, either gun control, universal healthcare, or immigration. Coincidentally every story features some Republican "coming to their senses" and "compromising" in order for whatever agenda item they're pushing to pass Congress.

Especially the last one is super prominent. I'll give you an example: the show Madam Secretary started off as a show about the life of a former CIA analyst turned into Secretary of State, but by the last season it morphed into a political soapbox about women's rights, immigration, and healthcare spending. A second example: Designated Survivor started off as a show about what might happen if the US Congress was all killed in a terror bombing, but then morphed into a political soapbox about gun control.
A lot of people are complaining about the content, but what's so bad about the new content, relative to the other services?

My biggest gripe is that've cancelled a lot of things without seeing them through to completion. Prime and SyFy have done this a lot too.
"slowing at a rapid pace" makes no sense as a statement. Is their growth stalled?

I noticed under the limits section of the documentation that a query result can have no more then 1000 rows. Anything more is truncated. I am surprised to see such a low limit. Maybe I misread something?
I feel there are plenty of good shows on Netflix.

But the way their UI/UX is built, it is not conducive for exploring. They've taken so much control away from me. I have to rely on what IT thinks I should be watching.

I know one of the reasons why they do this is because they don't want people to easily see and track of how small their content library is, and how frequently content disappears.
I don't know what's the basis for denying it, but the parent is correct about the intention when it was developed. I don't understand why it should be thought to imply Lisp knowledge. It is useful to lay out the customization possibilities, but that's a bonus.

It's word policing that doesn't take into account context, ie the person that it's being written for or how it's being used.

It itself is not adding context, and it should be disabled by default if added at all.

If PC nazis want this they can install an extension or enable it.

I don't need Google to give me moral lessons or be the arbiter of truth and feelings.

Dear Google docs team, just stick to spelling and grammar checking in your word processor, thank you.

Maybe next they can add a Clippy with a neckbeard that pops up and says "ackhtually... this is bad, would you like to censor yourself?"

It's not about feelings, it's about conditioning self censorship.

EDIT: @madeofpalk, spelling is not subjective, grammar is but it's a style guide based on structure. PC rules change on a dime based on feelings and politics. But yes you can be a grammar nazi and a PC nazi. Generally the two overlap because it's a certain type of zealot personality.
Incredible work.
I have a friend who has a NAS server with plex running 8TB of movies/series/etc... and shares it with multiple other friends (he doesn't tell me how many, but my bet is that it must be at least 50). He has his own OTT, he doesn't charge anything, in case you are wondering...
Touch, taste, smell sensors that completely mimic or surpass human senses all over the body… ALL over. How much do they cost?

> If you have a lot of money in places like China and Russia or if you have money from graft, it could all be taken away quickly.

I don't think people from Russia or China can do this anymore. At least the Russians can no longer do it in the West. As for the mainland Chinese, the CCP has blocked capital flight and they have even blocked cryptocurrency. This happened two years ago ie. unless they already got their money out of China two years earlier, they can't buy anything in Canada

EDIT it happened three years ago and not two years

Given the difficulties with these types of nutrition studies I don’t think its clear at all that fried or smoked foods cause most of the excess cancers in East Asia. It could just as well be the sodium or something about the pickling process or something else.

Thanks! Did you find the sandbox intuitive? Or did you feel like it needs more persona types? Recently some people expressed they would prefer a parameterized system that tries to dial things in a little closer to their situation... but since then I've tweaked the presentation/phrasing a bit to try to make it clearer the sandbox is just for showing how things work.
When I rented a room from a woman in Atlanta, the other tenants and I always referred to her as "landlord" and nobody batted an eye. The only time I hear "landlady" is when One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer plays on the radio. So that's my datum.
I think that this doesn't really help artists as much as just do it for them. Art, the way I see it, requires a human to do because it is something that requires emotion, something a robot could replicate but not feel. For example, a gut wrenching image of innocents being beat by police is gut wrenching because it's something that exists in the real world, and the artist and the subjects are real and their emotion is real. But a computer generated image only has a likeness; it doesn't have actual emotion.

I aldo don't think that it makes it "cheaper, more accessible, and allows more people to create". Digital art supplies being something readily available and relatively cheap to their classic counterparts is what makes things more accessible, and to make it more so would be to drive the cost down or something. Having the computer draw for you isn't exactly creating art.

And art isn't a commodity and I argue it shouldn't be a commodity. It's something, again, personal and special.

And this doesn't end at the visual arts, I think it applies too to writing. AI could write what's written in my journal word for word but my journal would have more value just by virtue of it being written by me.
I'm actually happy they did it only because it will get people (at least the subset of people who follow casually and do care) to acknowledge that foreign buyers are not the root cause once a couple years pass and the data will be apparent.

Is the word "actor" a problem then? It has had historical male implications, and has a female counterpart, actress? Yet actress is slowly falling out of favour, which is why you have awards now called e.g. Best Female Actor.

Gals comes across as even more old fashioned than actress in my region - it's a term that feels like it walked out of a movie old enough that it had to advertise that it had colour.

Sometimes, as the world evolves, gendered terms get replaced by new gender neutral terms. Sometimes the meaning evolves in different ways (e.g. doctor and nurse are no longer gendered equivalents of each other, as the division in roles has continued to be useful even after the gender stereotypes as to who does those roles slowly fades). And sometimes one term just subsumes the other.

And sometimes, these changes happened many decades ago in other countries that are not yours. It's not very inclusive to expect those people to defer to American expectations of those terms.

Oh, that's cool - so you could use the mainboard as a SBC? Put a few of them in a case with a (big) PSU and some I/O (storage, probably) and have a cluster-in-a-box?

It's definitely received wisdom that may once have been right and no longer is.

Most people are not used to facts having a half-life, but many facts do, or, rather, much knowledge, does.

We feel very secure in knowing what we know, and the reality is that we need to be willing to question a lot of things, like authority, including our very own. Now, we can't be questioning everything all the time because that way madness lies, but we can't never question anything we think we know either!

i would guess that it might be possible to poison a model by perturbing training examples in a way that is imperceptible to humans. that is, i wonder if it's possible to mess with the noise or the frequency domain spectra of a training example such that a model learned on that example would have adversarial singularities that are easy to find given the knowledge of how the imperceptible components of the training data were perturbed.

has anyone done this or anything like it?
Here in Australia, “guys” is generally used in a gender neutral way. Even when hanging out with groups of only women, I’ll use it and so will others without batting an eye. Eg, “What are you guys doing after this?”

Years ago I had an American friend tell me “guys” was sexist. I’ve been thinking about it for years since her comment. I think in an Australian context she’s wrong. And I think we move in the direction of gender equality by making words less gendered. Not by inserting gender bias where there was none.

You make “landlord” a gendered term by policing it as such. What a waste of a good word.
I also find it baffling that inclusivity folks find a term that used to be male exclusive becoming applicable to both male and female as problematic. Wouldn't they want something like this to happen?
