It sometimes makes sense to scrub race/ethnicity/gender information from certain types of data, typically when a human is going to be making individual decisions.

For example, not having race data on resumes is generally productive, because that categorization can't provide a meaningful input to the decision associated with an individual person. Even if it were to be the case that there was some correlation between race and skill at whatever job you're interviewing for[1], the size of the effect is almost certainly small, and in the meanwhile you've also controlled for any bias in the person doing the reviewing.

If you're having a machine look at a dataset, and the machine determines that race or ethnicity is a material factor in determining some attribute in that dataset, you're not doing anybody any good by denying that fact and destroying the result.

[1]Let's ignore for the purposes of this discussion, fields (like certain sports) where extreme competition combines with a position heavily dependent upon racially-linked physical characteristics. Though even in this case, there is still a (different, weaker) argument for suppressing race data in "resumes" (yes, I know, ballplayers don't submit resumes to their local NBA franchise)

It helps if this machinery can reject data and thus perform validation. Since recursive construction of union types (valid records can look like this, or also like that...) is trivial, a programmer somewhere has to draw the line between "loosen the schema to allow this record" and "reject this record to enforce the schema".
Hi,
I agree with insickness.

Facing an insurmountable problem,
you won't be able (at least mentally) to work without thinking about how difficult it is, at first sight, and it would systematically increase your fear too.

If you cut your big task into smaller and doable ones, sort & prioritize them, and work on it, one by one only,
you would be able to start working on this whole system by little iteration,
and fastly see progress.
You've just converted an impossible task into a super-doable one ;-)

It is totally natural / normal to feel fear when facing very hard problem (because a reasonable human should not try to face problem he can't solve).
Fear of failure is natural too.
Just try to simplify your life facing problems, by cutting off in smaller parts.
Your brain would appreciate a lot, and you won't follow a fear loop anymore.

This is big part of engineer job to face technical challenge like this one, and find efficient solution.
Just make this problem your friend, while monitoring completion time (your real worst enemy)

> I know very well how heat pumps work, and I find it ironic that you assumes others don't know because you don't understand it or haven't heard of it.
>
> A heat pump doesn't have to take heat from the outside.

If you're already spending 1J of energy to get 1J of heat, a heat pump is not going to turn that 1J of heat into 2-3J of heat, nor is it going to recover any of the Joules you've spent to generate that heat. So sure, you can use a heat pump to move that heat around a space. But doing so just spends more energy and decreases the overall efficiency of the system.

The principle of a heat pump getting such efficiency numbers is entirely predicated upon the notion that you're able to move that heat from somewhere it already exists "for free" in sufficient bulk.

> You don't earn money by using a heat pump, you do(or at least did) by mining. By mining and using a heat pump on that energy I increase the usage of that energy. Win win win.

You fundamentally misunderstand the economics of this situation. Mining costs money in the form of hardware and electricity. In exchange you can potentially extract some amount of revenue. If your alternative was to use that energy to generate one Joule of heat for every Joule of energy spent, you might as well mine to get a rebate.

But the sum of mining revenue minus mining costs are almost certainly less than the costs of simply operating a heat pump instead. Again, you'd be better off using a heat pump to heat your home and using the money saved on energy to simply buy $CRYPTO at market prices.
To me it seems like you’re so attached to your success stories that you cannot accept that sometimes there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel. It seems like you deal with reality by thinking that everyone can deal with their problems. Time to wake up to the truth: some people will die with their illnesses, and some illnesses are more treatment resistant than others. I’m sorry that this isn’t a flowery enough story for you, I really am. One day your bubble will burst
The KTV keyboards were steel and didn't flex at all, so were a pleasure to type on. Perhaps I should have said "a bit crappy". I typed a lot on them for years.
You have to interrupt the pattern. There's many ways to do that, but only one will speak to you.

For me it was to work on bettering myself as a person everyday. I basically inverted my life and challenged myself to "act" more than "think".

You can also just accept your quirk as a human and find ways to work around it. Energy/attention management is a real thing, so do keep a note on when you best can knock it out.

Generally speaking just read books on these problems and you'll find things to try every new day in your life and eventually something will change it for the better!
You know that's actually really good advice. That is something I should be more mindful of. Thank you

You sound like you think you are disagreeing. The prerequisite health and body fat requirements for safely fasting for extended periods is surely obvious.

Perhaps I don't understand their use case fully, but it seems to me that every schema can be defined as a child protobuf message, and each child can then be added to a oneof field of a parent protobuf message. This way, you get the strict/optional type checks that are required, and the efficiency and ecosystem around protobufs.
The iPhone 13 Mini has amazing battery life. It outlasts the standard size iPhone 12.
well, one project I work on compiles ~100 times faster on my desktop (Ryzen 5 3600) than the BBB if building from scratch, and that's not accounting for multiple cores, so 1000x might be reasonable for a project with sufficient compile-time parallelization. But it's still fast enough (< 10 seconds ) on the BBB that setting up a cross-compilation environment isn't worth it (and obviously incremental compiles are faster).
I'm with you! The litephone 2 is the closest we've gotten but at our market-size the software stability will likely be lacking.

Markdown is great and I build another app, FoldingText, around it.

But for my own use I over time realized that was a mistake. All the parsing and formatting adds complexity. I think rich text (which to be clear Bike does not yet have, though I will add soon) is a simpler way to work from user perspective. Just issue commands instead of remember and see formatting rules. It's cleaner and simpler for my uses.
I'm not sure what you mean. Deadweight loss is tautological. Maybe you're asking for evidence that taxes distort markets? If you accept that as true it's easy to see that deadweight loss is just the difference in surplus before and after the tax. Every econ paper on tax policy will try to measure the deadweight loss of the intervention.
Hold on; the math is not that easy.

For one - most of the iPhone Mini sale is because of 'Halo effect', die hard fans who anyway would have bought an iPhone, bought the mini version. An Android phone maker will not have that brand pull or halo effect to establish a new category, so it would be no where near that 10M number.

Second, iPhone or Mac devices are known for hardware and software integration. That translates among other things to good battery life (similar to RAM. Apple never talks about RAM).

iPhone Mini has been weak in battery department [1], one of the factor in its low sale as compared to bigger device. A Mini Android device will have mini batteries, that means it will have no chance in h* to last through the day - the minimum requirement in this day and age.

The Nexus 5X was the perfect size phone in my opinion. I'm content with the Pixel 4a at the moment, but it is clearly too tall to use with one hand for me. I have to shimmy it up and down to reach the top and bottom. Which I suspect is the problem with almost every phone these days.

In the end you can change the tech but you'll never change human nature. Those who managed to accumulate their own loot are propelled to places of political power and as soon as something remotely bad happens they want to appear charitable and empathic. There would be nothing wrong if they used their own money instead of using their political clout to dilute people who were not so stupid to invest in subprime/Terra.

I have an iPhone 12 mini. I switched to iPhone with the XR and felt it was too big. My old Pixel 2 feels larger than the 12 mini with it's 5" screen versus the 12 mini's 5.4", and that's because it physically is overall larger.

When the iPhone 12 lineup was announced, the main talking point about the mini among reviewers and whatnot was how poor battery life will be. To be honest, once I disabled the 5G (I'm not anti-5G, I just don't need it most of the time), battery life is fine. In fact, it's pretty phenomenal for the specs if you've had any lengthy history with smartphones (my first LTE phone either needed multiple charges per day, or I carried spare batteries).

It's pretty easy to build an echo chamber that agrees smaller phones are preferred and make it appear as though there's a decent amount of us, but the simple fact is, people like us are in the minority, and it shows in the iPhone sales. That's why there's not going to be an iPhone 14 mini, and why the mini design is probably going to be the next SE. And if you even look at the SE sales numbers, they're still not great against other iPhone models.

On top of that, this audience, specifically, are probably not going to be upgrading every generation, so there's going to be gaps where we don't feed the machine/sales numbers to make it look better. I will not buy an iPhone 13 mini. I will not buy an iPhone 14. I probably will not even buy the next SE even if it's an iPhone 13 mini with a newer SoC. So long as my 12 mini keeps going, it'll continue to serve me. So I fail to contribute to the sales numbers to make it look better.

Not a parent but if I was, I would absolutely get them a Switch over an Xbox/PS5. While games can be hit and miss on XB/PS, Nintendo seems to really have their shit together when it comes to releasing consistent high quality games with no shenanigans.

The downside is the games never go on sale so you aren't getting any deals but the upside is that you can give your kid just about any Nintendo game and not worry about shenanigans around loot boxes, ads and other crap they stick inside games now.
> Roe vs Wade's right to privacy only applies to abortion.

That's true in the narrow sense that Roe on its face only applies directly to abortion, but Roe explicitly is an application of the reproductive privacy applied in Griswold and Eisenstadt regarding contraception, and is in turn foundational in the development of the case law of sexual privacy that federal courts, or state courts applying federal Constitutional law, have held invalidated, among other things, sodomy bans (Lawrence v. Texas), bans on same sex marriage and it's federal recognition (US v. Windsor, Obergefell v. Hodges), differential age of consent laws for same-sex vs. opposite-sex sexual conduct, bans on sex between unmarried people, and bans on sex toys (though there was, and I think remains, a circuit split in the federal appeals courts on this issue).

This post nicely sums up why I just cannot get excited about anyone's announcement of some new and (on paper) awesome SBC with specs much better than those of a contemporary Raspberry Pi.

Software ecosystem support is THE killer feature for this class of device. And the RPI has, despite its fundamental shortcomings (needing the proprietary GPU to manage bootup, etc.), the best story in that particular department by so much that it's not even a contest.
Can we transcend the ecosystem ad infinitum?

> The ecosystem could support only a few of us, only so many food-plants could grow in such and such an area.
> Then, we learned to grow crops.

And burned out large swaths of land for grazing land, maybe created the deserts of today with fire, deforestation & overgrazing.

What happens when we cut down the last tree standing and plant the last piece of land with corn? We already have more land for meat/dairy production, than we have forests? [0]

> Then, we learned to control and even eradicate pests to our crops.

What happens when we kill the last 20% remaining bugs remaining in the world? How many more percent can we exterminate with our "control" of its population before some critical processes start failing? [1]

> we will continue to transcend "the ecosystem" when it suits us. We will bend it not just to our needs, but to our desires. We will have dominion over it, and we will have delicious sweet corn on the cob instead of bitter grass seed, and we won't share it with the locusts and crop viruses

What happens when we fish out beyond the critical mass of fish out of oceans, that only thing living there will be jellyfish (90% of sharks already gone because of by-kill and overfishing) [2]

How many wild animals can we replace with farm animals until we throw the nature out of balance too much (98% of biomass to 4% in biomass in last 100 years)? [3]

How many forests can we cut down until it rains only in coastal areas, thus turning the continents into deserts? [4]

Welcome to the anthropocene [5], current geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems, including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change.

I just can't see the reason why this is about social media, and not about personal relations in general. Someone makes me sad IRL - I don't listen to them. Someone makes me sad on social media - well I don't listen to them. Where's the difference?

I can understand the scale argument, but I can't see why it's a problem after I've unfollowed the problematic accounts.

At one point in my life, I unfollowed literally every FB friend I had - because I wanted to follow my groups but my friends' posts were too political and this kind of talk had a bad effect on me. I can't see why people just don't do that when social media makes them sad.
There's an easy solution if you want the clear conscience of paying creators but the freedom of actually controlling the content you paid for. Buy, then pirate. Don't even bother with ever accessing your crippled purchase.
Can't stand the idea of my personal notes being in the form of a proprietary format though. That's the key advantage for me.
You asked "where did you all read that he agreed to the deal without any due dillegence", and I showed you where.

Given that the deal has been agreed upon and the requisite SEC filings are in place, it's reasonable to assume that either the due diligence was fully completed by rockstar 10x financiers in this ridiculously short period of time, or some extreme shortcuts were taken. I tend to lean towards the latter reasoning from some experience in this space, so it's not much of a leap for me to believe the news sources that I linked above, Saddam's non-existent WMDs notwithstanding.

> I don't care if every news outlet is saying it, where is the source of this?

Some quotes from the FT paywalled link:

>> As one person involved in the debt financing explained, the due diligence “was easy. There was none. Not in the classic sense.”

>> [Musk's] wealth eased concerns for many lenders, which accelerated due diligence processes at the behest of Morgan Stanley, Musk’s financial adviser and one of the biggest lenders on the deal.

> And if he did, why would he be doing any DD now?

My speculation is a combination of sticker shock and buyers' remorse.
When I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s, I used to do programming contests in school. I even got the equivalent of a couple of "Letters" for a letter jacket, but never got the jacket cause it wasn't my thing.

In HS, we worked on a bunch of different languages, including Pascal, Fortran77, and C.

But we always went back to QuickBasic for the competitions. There was so much less overhead with working with that system that it made it way faster for coding the exercises.

Eventually in my second year of college I dropped my CS degree because the prospect of never being able to stop learning new marginalia was less appealing than studying philosophy, which seemed less trivial at the time.

However all that programming practice stuck around, and now I've made my living doing the same stuff I was doing in HS: messing around trying to get some dumb game to stop crashing on a computer and cobbling together tiny snippets of code to win cheap prizes.

So here's to you QB: the reason why I was able to get a job after eventually deciding not to become a professor of literature.

The correlation being "undesirable" to the individuals doing the research does not mean that the correlation is inaccurate.

I mean, sure, there are tons of ways for garbage data to sneak into ML models -- though these guys tried pretty hard to control for that -- but if the model actually determined that "race" is a meaningful feature, then that might be because it is, and science should be concerned with what is, not with what we wish were.
