I don't think your example is indicative of what he opposed.

If you can't effectively train something from existing data then cherry picking results according to different values isnt going to fix it. Your example has quietly shifted from facial recognition of different races to speech about different races. I cant even be sure of what you're talking about other than the fact that you will oppose criticism of imparting political bias into models.

Nope, that is a non sequitur. I'm saying that any intervention applied by this administration would be met with criticism by these aforementioned people.

>If Biden could wave a magic wand and make everyone rich with no ill effects, you think people would say no?

That isn't how this works at all. They wouldn't say no, they would instead reject your premise that Biden could achieve it. If Biden intervened today and they got rich tomorrow or next year, they could still deny that it was his administration's doing and exclaim that (for example) it was the former administration's policies finally taking effect.
I would suggest before freaking out publicly to go read about the tool and what it does.

Having known someone who worked as a 'green' coordinator for a biomedical research facility: they were trying to do something about fume hoods (which evacuate massive amounts of heated/cooled/humidified/dehumidified indoor air) and dozens of old -80 freezers that consume several kilowatts each, run almost continuously, and should be replaced with more modern/efficient units, audited for what actually needs to be kept in that freezer (scientists are like packrats with samples), and so on...

...while getting continuously pestered by administrative staff because someone doesn't have a recycling bin and as far as the staffer is concerned, they might as well be clubbing baby seals every day they have to put a couple of pieces of copier paper in the regular trash bin.

You read that right: 10.5 GWhr per year used by sample storage freezers at one university. About 1.2MW continuous...
> he didn’t know anything about books and was more interested in disposing of the books than making money from the sale.

This reminds me of one of the strangest things I ever read in the books:

My Arabic Library

About eighteen months before I arrived in Iraq, one of my predecessors had ordered My Arabic Library, $88,000 worth of books, an entire shipping container. My Arabic Library was a Bush-era, US government–wide project to translate classic American books, so we now have Tom Sawyer, The House of the Seven Gables, and Of Mice and Men in Arabic. The Embassy had big plans for the books, claiming, “It is so important that the children of Baghdad, the next generation of leaders of Iraq, obtain basic literacy skills. A love of learning and literacy will mean better job opportunities for them when they grow up. They will be able to better support their families and help build a more prosperous Iraq.”

Everyone forgot about the books until we learned that a truck was bringing them in from Jordan. After our prayers that the driver would abandon the truck en route failed, my team was stuck with the problem of what to do with a container of books that no one wanted. Apparently, there was little interest among Iraqi schools in reading The Crucible or Moby-Dick, as the books didn’t fit into their centralized curriculum. I was charged with getting rid of them, to anywhere; the lucky winner needed only a truck. We cajoled a nearby school to take the whole mess from us as a personal favor. Their only condition was that they would not have to do the loading themselves, so that is how a couple of us ended up humping books into a flatbed truck while a high school principal and a local truck driver sat in the shade smoking, watching us. We heard later from a third party that, failing to sell the books on the black market, the principal just dumped them behind the school.

Peter Van Buren, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People

This was very strange to me cause I used to think of American government as very efficient, and with experience of solving exactly the same problem many times already - Germany, Japan, Korea. And the thought that somebody could just waste my yearly taxes on nothing - was very strange and disturbing.
I would pay for this as a service.
> Imagine on top of that putting a link that pushes you to either your phone dialing popup (which will take you out of the app and you'll be on the phone while trying to get back to your previous screen to explain what happened), or a link that throw you into a page, and you'll be trying to understand why, and what you're supposed to do with it.

Putting links in error dialogs seems like a set up for a situation where clicking that link produces another error with another link that also won't work followed by another and another etc.
Since public schools are considered part of the government, the First Amendment means they can't force students to pray. So why doesn't the Fourth Amendment already ban this sort of thing too?
This reminds me of a short noir film, The Grand Inquisitor, by Eddie Muller (the film noir expert) that I just watched a couple days ago:

So how and why do you jump to this extreme?
At least at the org I worked at, there were dedicated glass washers paid around minimum wage. It's dangerous between the stuff you're dealing with in the containers, and things like the washing chemicals, the autoclave units, and so on.
Isn’t the electoral college worse. Someone living in some sparsely populated midwestern state has more than 100x the voting impact as someone from an urban area even though they may contribute very little to the economy and probably receive a lot of welfare and subsidies. I’ve been fuming.
You have 7 years of experience now running a company with limited resources. The alternative is you worked 7 years in middle management somewhere. You picked up a very rare skillset here and have more opportunities than if you hadn't.

I think what hurts is that it's a form of death. It feels like actually losing someone, because you have lost a part of yourself. Companies grow faster than babies, and losing a company of 7 years could feel like losing a child.

Even if you go on to start another company, it isn't the same. It's like having another child or another spouse. It doesn't replace the first.

Whatever it is, you have to make peace with that. Go through the stages of grief. Do all the rituals necessary, which may be crying on the sofa watching TV. Just avoid hazardous coping mechanisms like alcohol and drugs. Death of an identity is necessary for the metamorphosis of a new identity. Don't try to figure out that new identity yet, but allow your startup founder identity to die sufficiently that it doesn't hold you back.

Your next identity might well be another startup CEO. But remove the old identity and commit to the new one. You want to be "Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar" and not "Steve Jobs, former cofounder of Apple Inc"

Yeah, I don't have any problem with "cute" error messages as long as they also contain all the info someone would need to identify the problem and if possible solve it. it's not the "cute" that's the problem really, it's the frustration and the lack of direction that usually comes with them.

> I am firing them for not fulfilling a promise

I believe what OP meant was that they fulfilled the promise by finding tax deductions, just not enough to justify the cost of their bill. Likewise firing employees has nothing to do with promises: it's just unprofitable to keep them on. If there is no short to medium-term need for the employees, they have to go. The decision may be unpopular, but necessary.

FTL, fusion, stop aging, holograms, GAI, BCID, cellular regen, brain transfer, space colonies, etc...

I wonder, I know it's not great to look at a movie but in the movie Jobs 2013, there's a moment, where they turn the board on and you see the characters flash across the CRT. I also am aware there were other similar devices at the time eg. alto.

Still that's like a new thing... even from that perspective was impossible to foresee what we have now all the computer-related things that were made.

The closest I can think of are people who think parking minimum regulations should be removed, so that stores and house owners can decide for themselves how much parking they want to put in; certainly a far step different from not wanting an adequate number of parking spaces.

If anyone is interested in learning how graphics rendering works under the hood without too much scaffolding, there's a great course at https://pikuma.com/courses/learn-3d-computer-graphics-progra... (I'm no way associated with that website, just loved the course). That course starts from absolute basics: creating a colour buffer as in memory array and gradually covers lot of ground on 3D rendering: drawing pixels, lines, triangle fill rasterisation, texturing. The course uses minimal help: SDL is used for rendering on window and dynamic arrays are provided as a small C library. But everything else is coded from scratch in C by the instructor in the lecture, word by word.
Hi @bennJ, Thank you.
Really interesting article. I wonder if there’s any possibility of creating ultrapure water from ultrapure streams of hydrogen and oxygen - but maybe it’s harder to filter the component gases than just filtering the water itself.
Matt Mueller: Building Modern Web Applications Faster with Bud
From a business perspective it's because we do something called continuous delivery (the CD in CI/CD) where we choose to prioritize shipping regular updates. On most websites this is happening constantly behind the scenes, for apps we actually have to ship artifacts somewhere and get them to update. Some people choose to tell you when an update happens or give an option to decline it, others do it silently in the background.

There are a lot of reasons why, from operational (it's easier to develop quickly and get more revenue when you can ship updates daily/weekly to acquire new customers or reduce churn rather than postpone releases over long cycles and ask people to wait) to functional (if there's a security flaw that exposes you, my user, i want the software patched as soon as possible).

The big reason (to me) is an organizational one - it shortens the cycle time of code churn to QA to bug report to fix. When you stretch out release cycles that typically means you're doing feature/code investment up front, then bulk QA, then bulk bug fixes, then bulk QA (usually mixed with scope creep). With CD you just have tickets, they get moved to review/QA, the feature gets shipped, you pick up the next ticket. In a good workplace it's legitimately hard to have crunch time close to major deadlines because it's a lot less risky to delay a feature until a future release when that date is next week and guaranteed.

From a business perspective the advantage is that you can resource plan more effectively (you can forecast customer acquisition/churn much easier when there's constant feedback, therefore you can predict revenue cycles better, and you can also move people around a lot easier to hotspots with the highest priority). That's basically impossible with staggered releases because you're not getting input from the market on what you need to do to make more money and spend less.

There are obvious downsides, nagging aside. If it's easier to ship it's easier to ship broken things and half done things. And you can do things to make it more valuable to users like option updates to main and nightly/beta/security release channels. But those cost time and money to build and maintain and are kind of a nightmare for non tech-savvy users where using "nightly" to get the latest and greatest is a non-starter, and optional updates equal no updates and getting the same bug report in the queue for years. So some businesses don't do that.

It's such a big deal to me that when I interview I ask something like "when was your last release and when is your next one" to see if they actually have CD. As a dev you don't want to work in an environment where there's some long away deadline for release, that sucks.
> If you can't effectively train something from existing data then cherry picking results according to different values isnt going to fix it.

Given the variance in the utility of copilot's suggestions, this doesn't seem true on it's face. Define "effectively" here and I think cherry picking would definitely fall within its range.
A more inclusive verbiage, which is clearly a terrible and slippery-slope thing.
> How many more bottle-washers did they have to hire? Or are they using expensive people to wash bottles?

"They", who? Marine Institute? Probably zero, due to the nature of their samples (biological material) and scale (~8 samples/day). I wouldn't be surprised if they just leave the flasks overnight in a sodium hypochlorite solution.

The same however might not apply to a laboratory handling another type of sample, where cleaning the glassware might involve multiple solutions, or might require that the glassware "soaks" in the cleaning solution for a large amount of time, or handling a larger amount of daily samples. And it isn't just a matter of the required workforce to clean those flasks, but also additional space being used, or actually increasing waste and electricity usage through the cleaning process. That's my point anyway - those results from the Marine Institute don't generalise so well.
How is it different from exa?
It sounds like a good opportunity to just mentor them. I've messed up some interviews, and what I did was ask the interviewer to walk me through the solution. The best was an interview for a game developer (which I have no formal education for) and learning about applying the Monte Carlo effect to figure out where civilizations were.

You guys have already committed the time to the interview, so there's no added cost. I think it's fine for the candidate to give up when they just can't do it. Doesn't mean they can't learn from the process.
Likely a combination of both things. If airline management can improve these metrics for less than the cost of the fines then they’ll do it.

Ultimately if ticket prices go up because that’s the cost of having a somewhat reliable service that actually delivers on its promise I would not say it’s a bad thing. It makes the playing field even such that airlines can’t get away with undercutting service quality to compete on price.
Computer fundamentals+writing+willing to take risks was worth in the two digit millions for me. Was willing to risk starting new businesses, but knew enough about programming to hire well.
It will not end there. It began with Python when they removed "offensive" words such as "kill". Then it was GitHub then Git itself who removed the word "master".

Sorry, but this is not comparable to anything seen before. I can't remember 6 year olds taking hormones and 16 year olds having their breasts removed. There was no 4000% increase in teenagers claiming to be gay. There were no attempts to change core language concepts and there were no gays attacking and discriminating against other gays. I also can't remember scientists and medical professionals being gaslighted and having their careers destroyed for having valid concerns, companies having to conform to fluidly changing and unregulated redefinitions of language or facing massive targeted and politically motivated attacks, whatever, you name it..

I realize this is at most 5-10% of some age groups, but they are louder than anyone else and acting in a radical fashion. On the other hand I'm not sure where you see moral panic here, I'm really just expressing knowledge and my opinion. Not very emotionally so. Even if I could be slightly more emotional about it, I have literally been attacked for stating that I am bisexual and don't have neopronouns. That hasn't happened in a long time. Not to mention the damage that is being done right now to decades of fighting for acceptance and the past "gay panics". Kind of ironic to mention that in the context of new active discrimination by their own and then calling it moral panic.

Past gay panics furthered the cause. This behavior will set it back by 20 years. Even completely indifferent or transgender-friendly people are starting to turn on them now.
At least in terms of money. You still have opportunity costs, though.
