Not speaking for the person you're responding to but if you call incessant Nazism and anti-semitism bullying then yes.
I'm not convinced this is a case of "soft layoffs". You'll save on severence costs, but those costs are so small compared to the cost of having no control over who decides to leave.
Lima is mentioned in the article.
This is not caste, This is regionalism, This is like saying i can see entire depts with lastnames that sound french or spanish. India is like european union if you think about it.
I like printf-debugging because it's usually the fastest and has the least mental overhead. Even with IDEs and integrated debugging I find there's often a lot more overhead.

And when I do use a debugger I always just use it to inspect variables; quicker to just print those same variables: less steps, and especially works better if the same code will be run 10 times and I want to print those vars 10 times too.

I never found stepping over code useful in a debugger, and I tried to use it many times because surely it's useful for some, but turns out it's not for me.
The risk is remembering the wrong one.
Well of course; to be anything else would be Chaos.
GC-less languages would have to break backward compatibility to implement lifetime/ownership management.

Rust's goals do not fit every single problem out there. As the author said in their articles, Rust is not a general purpose language.

Rust makes you care about many subjects that are solved in an opiniated way by higher-level languages. It wants you to be explicit about those problematics, it wants you to carefully consider the implications and make your own decisions. Rust made me realize that nothing is trivial: even `printf()` can fail.

Certainly, this is not a good fit for the "don't be afraid to break things" philosophy.

But when you are in a field where you care about that, and you need the safety, Rust is actually, to my knowledge, the only tool that can help you.

Rust is complex, because programming is complex. Other languages are simpler, because the decisions have been made for you, and you can only accept it or use another language.

For C and C++, you need extra tools to get to the same level of confidence about your code (just look at the SQLite toolchain/test suite).

You can criticize Rust, just like you can criticize anything. You just have to be constructive about it.

You'll never see the following comment being upvoted:

Rust syntax is rotten garbage, it's unreadable.

Why? Because it's subjective, it is definitely not constructive.

But the following comment might be upvoted:

Rust is a complex language that is difficult to approach for a newbie.

Because it acknowledges the problems Rust is trying to solve.

None of those hypothetical comments are praising Rust.
You're completely off. Not even in the same zipcode regarding the stats. The article you're citing for your stats says 10% of Indians in the US felt racism from regular Americans. Nothing about caste or internal casteism.

It's talking about the kind of racism you see on H1B threads here, like the outright confession of violating federal law that I once saw in a comment "I stopped giving interviews to Indians because I found they lie in the resume".
As I understand it you can give instructions and probably even build tools to do the benchmarking, it's just that when the Splunk customer runs those tools, they are forbidden to share the results with you or anyone else.
Interesting project. But who are ohfp, stanzabird, fxbrit and all these other anonymous maintainers, and more importantly, why should I trust them to build my browser?
It's also state funded by an extremely liberal government who itself tried to push extremely restrictive gun laws.

What people are quick to forget is that the difference between a shooting and a mass shooting is a quick and prompt armed response. Basically a good guy with a gun. Ironically, Canadians themselves proved that 15 years ago [0].

Any corporate leader of any identity should be able to condemn any kind of bigotry that may be occurring at their company. The targets of bigotry have a right to know the leader has their back. It doesn't depend on the identity of the leader, the perpetrator of the bigotry, or the target of the bigotry. And this is not a request to comment on events in distant lands.

What's your basis for these statements?
How did you know upper management caste? I find quite a few Indians have been using their fathers name as their lastname. Did you go by caste or color of skin to make the determination.
Try 9 minutes, one stop, to get from the bay area to LA. It’s not as fast to fill as a smelly ICE car, but it’s not too shabby at all and a lot more fun and safe to drive. The numbers are contrived.
That may be but this app has a limited market regardless how good it is. Its not a VC/hypergrowth product and only possible exit is acquisition.
> But something tells me that if management decided to use some obviously flawed way of measuring performance

Then other people, including perhaps members of the DEI department can step in and point out that this is a bad idea. The DEI department doesn't have a monopoly on management's ear. You're doing the same thing, trying to invent a perfect department to solve all of the problems. Don't do that. Stop trying to invent perfect systems or perfect metrics, they don't exist. Focus on making incremental improvements in people's lives. I don't want a "metrics abuse department" because that's so vague and missionless as to be pointless.

If management does something stupid that upsets everyone, they'll know. If they do something stupid that only upsets the 1% of black employees, they're not going to notice unless someone (the DEI department) is specifically looking.
I think this might have tipped the balance towards dropping out at age 16 for me. My middle school and high school teachers were by and large hopeless assholes who let favorite students bully the less favored into submission. Add guns to Coach Keith Jerome? No fucking thank you.
Kind of ugly looking... And that paint is probably coming off when the tape comes down

I had a new furnace/AC installed last year with a 4" filter. $50 CAD for a carbon filter and leaving just the fan on made a vast reduction in smoke smell during a wildfire or two from BC.

Think it is rapidly moving towards being more of a data carrier/format rather than being dead per se.

Half the time you're jamming it into some cloud service anyway where you have no idea what GCP/fly/aws is using under the hood to actually run it.

Meaning this discussion is more relevant to the self-hosted context. In which case I'd say containerization isn't really security. So in my mind that residual risk of the daemon being root is inconsequential. (Or if not use a VM).
I approve; but the problem in Texas wasn't a lack of guns to use against the perpetrator, was it? The cops stood around in "tacticool" gear.
I have never seen it. I am not suprised if it happens. Usually the same type of character that would do something like sexual discrimination or weird shit that is more common with bad white managers would be the same type to do this to lower caste. Anyways this type of mentality is on its way out anyways. The fact that is happens at google is quite suprising cause you would expect higher standards
Is there a reason OSM uses image tiles? I think Google Maps has been serving vector tiles since 2010.
It's the United States, what did you expect? The American solution after any mass shooting is always to protect the guns.
Are you saying the US embassy in India discriminates based on caste when handing visas or the h1b process is discriminatory?
I suspect you probably are as well. Extended isolation can do that to a person. It's like he needed a mission, but was too deeply frustrated in himself. So, he assigned himself an objective. The refusal to give up was the only thing that defined him.
I am so tired of talking about race and gender in the workplace. I am there to do work.

Bill 21. Bill 96. What language you can speak. What school you can/can't go to. What you have to say in stores. What you can and can't wear. Where you can and can't work. Hell, they admitted the damn laws violate their own charter of rights and freedoms when they passed them.

But they "they want to preserve their culture". I chose apartheid to avoid Godwin'ing the discussion, but it applies there as well. Or the US South in the 50's, and all those other places where a group feels threatened by "them" and are disinterested in expanding the definition of society or even citizenship.
This is crazy if true. sorry you got downvoted for providing your experience. The way I see it is if the behaviour is possible (some people will do it). It is upto the company to ensure those people are thrown out and not allowed back in.
Time of charge is fastest if you have some headroom in your range. In other words it’s a lot faster to charge to 80%, as charging slows as you get higher. Keep that in mind when buying so you don’t make the mistake of buying lower range.
> For example, when meat prices spiked because national meatpackers had problems, HEB's Texas meatpackers didn't have such high costs (less of a spike).

Yes, according to a GM I know this is due to them sourcing most of their products within a 100 miles. HEB has the best produce, meats, and food quality overall. Generally the best prices as well.

We go to Walmart only for the obscure brand name items or special edition things (as well as non groceries things that aren't practical for delivery)

I believe HEB is the or at least one of the largest private companies in the US. They recently bought the Favor delivery app which is the best of them all. You can write in any store and alcohol delivery from HEB is free.

Disclaimer: no affiliation with HEB, just one happy patron.
MaxMind is pretty aggressive about getting people to update, or booting you as a customer.
Love this. Congrats Stefan & team on the announcement!
Yeah that does sound like TRAMP. I'm sure it's pretty nice.
In light of what we're finding out about recent events in Texas, this almost comes across as satire.
> On the other hand, if DALL-E were to generate 10 billion images, and choose the best 2-3 itself and give those as output, and if at least one of those 2-3 would be consistently great, then DALL-E could be indeed considered to be creating (good) art.

It's worth noting that the OpenAI samples for DALL-E 1 used CLIP to rank generated samples, and got a big boost from that. For many model architectures, you can run them in reverse to do 'image -> caption', and 'score the caption' quality: if 'the caption is bad', that indicates your image was screwed up and low-quality (introduced by Cogview). DALL-E 2 doesn't use either approach, or finetuning on user choices like InstructGPT, and I dunno if OA is going to implement any of these, but there is a wide universe of techniques applicable here to improve quality and we should keep that in mind (https://www.gwern.net/Forking-Paths) if we are going to make any assertions more sweeping than "this specific model, at this very instant, with this particular interface, is only at this level of quality".
No doubt. Thank you orobinson.

There is 0 percent chance a white person could ever tell the caste of an indian. You need to be indian indian. That being said any human can detect wrongful behaviour and is responsible for calling it out.

maybe it leads to a situation where we can just relax and go back to monke while the ai rules over us. But also who knows maybe it opens up new streams of consciousness and we can morph our minds with machines and go somewhere new.
> don't have a good sense of where/how they are used

This is arguably a main problem with geocodes, however they are well designed or not (I believe plus codes are actually pretty well designed). It is obvious that they can't replace street addresses---unless they don't already exist, in which (uncommon) cases geocodes can actually be a solution---so they have to solve some different problems than street addresses, but those problems are too niche. If they look like solutions looking for problems, that's because they mostly are.
The postal service uses the return address in a similar way. If you don’t have a stamp, swap the return and destination addresses.
I don't care for the idea that any private network should be legally required to accept connections (let alone accepting data) from any other network if they see fit not to. No sender should have the power the force another server on another network to accept whatever they spew out to them.

If google is too aggressive about dropping mail and gmail users can't reliably get the email messages they want, those users should move to a platform that doesn't block those messages. Problem solved.

I've seen several articles in recent months about Google (and other providers) blocking too much, but they are nearly always about the senders and the burdens blocking and sender reputation places on them.

As much as I'd agree that senders have to do a lot to get mail accepted maybe this is working as intended more often than not and the fact that people aren't dropping their gmail accounts in droves seems to suggest that the people whose inboxes are directly impacted by Google's filtering are largely happy with how things are.

Most email is spam, and for the few senders who aren't just bitter that they can't force spam on the most popular email providers with impunity, I freely admit that this is an extremely frustrating experience for them and that it does help degrade the utility of email and contributes to the consolidation of useful email providers. The current situation isn't perfect.

The idea that we could send mail from any routable IP address, or send bulk email easily to anywhere, or even set up our own personal SMTP servers on a whim and still send email to any other network in the world with no deliverability issues is beautiful, but not practical.

Given the decades of scammers and advertisers abusing email, I'd much rather leave it up to the recipients to decide when a service has gone too far in blocking what ends up in their inboxes.
Used it for a few months at $30/month.

Great concept. No competitive moat as email clients can copy the features.

Looking forward to the gmail “Focus Mode”.
The tools make it very hard to do both at the same time.
To pick a topic, is there something I could write shell-style scripts in that leans towards correctness?
Yes, I suppose it doesn't really surprise me that the regional variation would be different. Bath didn't have a Tesco until recently, but it did have a Safeway/Morrisons which had a slightly worse selection than the "posher" two. It also had a farmers market though which was by far the best place to buy anything.
It's mentioned as an alternative, but not as something that works tandem to Podman.
> I’ve had 4-5 instances when these Bigots found me because I was eating chicken and they had to lecture about my sin.

Oh haha that has happened to me as well, I’m an “upper” caste fellow and eat meat on occasion and have been lectured by one of these guys on how I am doomed to be reborn as a worm or something! Shitty people exist everywhere I guess..
Wait, so you interview at Amazon and then you have to wait a full year before you can continue the process? This happens for everyone? Wat? Why? How? What?

I am so confused; how can this work well for the candidates or Amazon? I'm looking for a job now; in a year I'll have a different job and if things are going well I probably don't want to leave.
Or lately https://lowendspirit.com/ - split off from the above. I find the providers there slightly less shady. Though again fly by night is entirely possible so backup accordingly
>I'm rebutting that with "consumers don't have the information to choose between climate and cost, they can only compare costs".

Fair point, I apologize for the accusation.

>Yes, because "strongly worded environmental claims" is meaningless. There's no accountability that products making these claims outperform their competition at all, and even if they do outperform the competition, a consumer can't know by how much (am I paying 50% more for a product that emits half as much carbon, or only 1% less?). There's virtually no regulation here.

But voluntary labeling seem to work fine with "organic"/"non-GMO" products? I agree that being able to compare two conventional products and choose the least bad option has value, but the lack of a pesticide content label didn't prevent the proliferation of organic products on supermarket shelves.
Why? AI is a tool, not even a servant, for that would imply will. We can use and direct it to whatever ends please us. The realization of AI as a general tool for the individual is approaching rapidly, and it will have radically transformative potential. Don't be afraid, push from behind so that progress won't stall in the period where it's only accessible to institutions.
It definitely makes an audible click when it enters (and leaves) calibration mode.
Haven't there been delivery startups that do that?
There are different immigrant clusters around geography and industry.
E.g. South indians are a majority in the Tech industry in the Bay Area, Punjabi migrants from North India work in more working class jobs - as taxi/Uber drivers and 7/11 or convenience stores clerks. And the Patel caste from the western state of Gujarat are known for their presence in the motel industry.

Based on my non-scientific observation of looking at the 300+ Indian origin folks in my LinkedIn profile, the upper castes are likely 60%, though they make up 10-15% of the population in India. The "middle" castes a. k. a Other Backward Castes or the so called merchant castes make up the remaining 35% and likely are 30% of the Indian population.
The default Canadian approach is to never try and fix things in Canada, just keep reminding voters how much “worse” things are in the US.
100% this right here. Ahrefs and Yep is not some altruistic endeavor.

Yeah this is a solid chrome app store kind of solo dev project. 100 employees is absurd.

I think they had a lot of early adopter VC users who really liked it and let their personal bias overwhelm better TAM analysis.
Isn't Go pretty close to optimal here, though? C/Rust may use somewhat fewer resources, but when you look at Go's efficiency over, say, scripted languages like Python, Ruby, or JavaScript, further optimization seems like it's gilding the lily.

Front page isn't transparent about the pricing after the trial period, or what happens if you let your subscription lapse, could you clarify?

Particularly, what is the data egress policy?

Let's see... Under their proposed profit share, if they achieved DDG levels of traffic (100M queries/day, assuming $0.01 per query in net ads profit, that is $900k/day distributed among conservatively speaking 10M creators/sites) distribution would be $0.09 /day to an average content creator owning an average site.

It does not sound much. If it was to magically fully replace Google tomorrow (10B queries/day) it would generate $300/month for 10M creators.

Assuming content creator needs $5k/month to make a living, Yep would need to achieve ~160B queries/day which is ~16x scale of Google (problem: not enough humans).

The idea sounds noble on paper but it seems that math does not check. Missing something?
You absolutely can measure, to some degree, the internal state of somebody’s brain (what you call “Soul”). Is the person happy or trying to commit suicide? Now there is one very rough measure of somebody’s internal brain state. Is the person constantly punishing him/herself? Now there is another. Is the person a sociopath? Another one. The last one can even be measure using a brain scanner. No need for human interpretation there. I assume you are religious (using words like “Soul”) so perhaps remember Jesus saying “You will know them by their fruit”. In other words, you can measure their “Soul” by what they do.
