> I just don't see how any architect can ever be very good without a strong background in development.

I think the disconnect here is that the majority of architects I've worked with haven't been "good" in a technical sense from a "actually building software" perspective. I'm assuming this is true for a lot of folks here, based on people's responses in this thread.

The day to day of some of these roles has been:

* sit in meetings with high-up product managers and biz leaders

* come up with pretty diagrams of how to totally re-build (sorry, re-architect) the system. Often this is jargon-heavy - protobuf this, envoy that, circuit-breakers the other thing.

* talk engineering management into this plan

What's been meaningfully missing is the details of point A -> point B to achieve their plan. None of the jargon is necessarily wrong but it's not grounded in the reality of the current software systems at all.

This comes about when the technical VPs aren't hands-on with the system anymore either. If non-technical leadership is saying something like "improve uptime" and you go get hire an architect into the company and you'll get a lot of presentations about things the devs on the team may already know about but haven't been able to get prioritized, but it's still on the existing devs to actually build it.

"Paying someone fancy to convince non-technical business leaders to let the devs build what's needed" isn't necessarily a bad decision from a CTO or SVP of Engineering, even! But the devs who have been saying the same shit this whole time only to now see the credit go to the higher-ups and the new architect, after getting the blame for the old status quo, don't exactly have a positive view of the architect's actual engineering competency.
I used to find that drinking a lot helped but then my insides started to hurt. I'm thinking about maybe growing psilocybin mushrooms now.
Also, there was no effort to dezombify the Russian population.

I read recently that only in the 60s the German public opinion started moving towards "Nazis are bad", and that was because of an external effort to reeducate them (I had just assumed that after they lost the war, the population would automatically see the Nazis were bad).

No such effort happened with the Russians, so they're still trying to conquer Europe, as they have been since tsarist era.

Sounds like a dream, not as in what I wish for, but what I experience at night.

So, if you think about it like a tool to enable a form of lucid dreaming, it may be something interesting.

Of course you have to find a way to get for your brain what you want to see in "real time", but I think we will get there.
Most of us have our eyes open, looking at things ~16 hours a day, with the first 18 years of our lives heavily focused on learning about what those things are, plus we have the extra brain capacity to remember those things, and to think about them in an abstract manner. My entire photo library alone is over 100,000 photos - and since I took all of them I will have "seen" them.

Interesting how the media continues to bring up the lawsuit but never share the real story and the outcome to the lawsuit. I guess it is more profitable to spread lies.

If you wait until a post-scarcity to implement a UBI you will have violent collapse of society long before you reach post-scarcity. We walk a razor's edge of oppression - too little and society doesn't have enough peasants to grind into the machine to make the gears work, too much and the peasants destroy the machine.
This letter to the editor appeared in the NYT over thirty years ago:

To the Editor:

The term "gender" is increasingly misused as a substitute for "sex." Does "gender" appear to reflect a greater sophistication, or reluctance to use a term with a possible indecent connotation?

"The Gender Gulf" by Louis Harris (Op-Ed, Dec. 7) misuses the term three times (not counting the headline), including this: "the generation gap is less evident and the gender gap more acute." Among the same day's letters, one ("Sexism on Sesame St.") misuses gender five times including "gender imbalance."

"The Careful Writer: A Modern Guide to English Usage" by Theodore M. Bernstein (New York, 1965) states, "gender is a grammatical term, denoting (in English) whether words pertaining to a noun or pronoun are classed as masculine, feminine or neuter. It is not a substitute for 'sex' (but then, what is?). Indeed, in some foreign languages 'gender' often disregards sex. In German, for example, 'Weib,' The word for woman, is neuter; in French 'plume,' the word for pen, a sexless article, is feminine. To use 'gender' as if it were synonymous with 'sex' is an error, and a particularly unpardonable one in scientific writing."

From Fowler's "Modern English Usage" edited by Sir Ernest Gowers (Oxford, second edition, 1965):

"Gender, n., is a grammatical term only. To talk of 'persons' or 'creatures of the masculine or feminine gender,' meaning 'of the male or female sex,' is either a jocularity (permissible or not according to context) or a blunder."

I can only assume you have elected to permit this misuse, despite a valid and useful distinction between the terms.

Such sad news but not unexpected.

Recently, I saw the hour-long documentary of Werner Herzog interviewing Mikhail Gorbachev and it was not only riveting television but also one of the saddest and most upsetting I've seen in a long while.

I'm not going to go into details as I don't think I could convey the tone and atmosphere of the conversation and do it justice. All I can say is that if you haven't seen it then you should make an effort to do so.

YouTube doesn't have the full video but there are a few short excerpts from it of a minute or two in length.

A couple of things:

* We have seen more than 100,000 "photos" in the sense that photos are just images - if photos are just images, we have a constant feed of "photos" every single moment our eyes are open. Of course, that's not the same as these training datasets, but it is still worth keeping in mind.

* All of these things trained on massive datasets with self-supervised learning are in a sense addressing the "slowness" of learning you mention, since self-supervised (aka no annotations are needed beyond the data itself) "pre-training" on the massive datasets can then enable training for downstream tasks with way less data.

* Arguably requiring massive datasets for pre-training is still a bit lame, but then again the 4-5 years of life it takes to reach pretty advanced intelligence in humans represents a whoooole lot of data. And as with self-supervised learning on these massive models, a lot of intelligence seems to come down to learning to predict the future from sensory input.

* Humans also come with a lot of pre-wiring done by evolution, whereas these models are trained from scratch. Evolutionary wiring represents its own sort of "pre-training", of course.

So basically, it is not so slow to learn as it seems. Arguably it could get faster once we train multimodal models and concepts from text can reinforce learning to understand images and so on, and people are working on it (eg GATO). There may also need to be a separation between low level 'instinct' intelligence and high-level 'reasoning' intelligence; AI still sucks at the second one.
In my previous roles in larger orgs, the architect vs principal eng distinction was a breadth-vs-depth thing. Are you planning or aligning broadly across 10 teams, or are you helping both roadmap and do longterm planning but also diving deep into the hardest technical problems for just 1 or 2 teams, say.
Note that a similar effect has been observed previously with regards to stress response and inhibition of pain, in Olfactory exposure to males, including men, causes stress and related analgesia in rodents by Sorge et al (which the linked paper cites).

I'm so sick of reading this.

uBO covers most of uMatrix (and more).

Some of that uMatrix coverage is a hell of a lot harder/more awkward in uBO.

Basically every uMatrix user always also ran uBO too, for the more DOM/'content blocking' aspects (primarly 'cosmetic filtering' as it calls it iirc).

uMatrix lets me block all third-party, allow only first-party scripts/XHR/iframes by default, and then in two clicks (including opening the extension's popover menu) allow some specific host's scripts or whatever, while still blocking its cookies/frames/XHR/media/et al.

uMatrix is more advanced than uBO 'advanced mode', and just as easy to use; i.e. easier to use than 'dynamic filtering' or whatever people suggest that's buried in the full-page settings and not something I'm going to be doing 'on the fly' while visiting a site.

I still use uMatrix (and uBO!) and remain thankful for it - I just hope it lasts, not obsoleted by browser API changes or whatever. (nuTensor was forked to take on that burden, but itself now archived. Apparently - I read in another HN topic on this recently - because uMatrix actually did receive some maintenance update.)
You may be right about the lack of ability of the U.S. to have much impact. Though I don't think the outcome of the was so forgone.

There was lots of corruption in the Soviet Union. But we're talking about orders of magnitude difference here. Soviet corruption revolved around small bribes for services, lies on official documentation, etc. For 30 years now, Russia's resources have been looted to enrich several dozen people. We're talking about one of the largest shifts in wealth inequality in the history of the world.

The current crop of Russian oligarchs are generally not former communist party officials. They did gain their resources from former party members and largely by bribing these people.

Much of this could've been prevented however with an orderly transition away from the single party system. By outlawing the party, Russia broke the central disciplining and organizing structure of government, the economy and law. This left in place the people but without discipline or oversight which allowed the looting to take place.

In this case the so called "Troika" made the decisions. A cooperation between the european central bank, the european comission and the international monetary fund. I guess anyone would expect that these organisations have the best people at hand. And that may be true when it comes to the neoliberal theory.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that there are two contradicting theories with one of them being mainstream while the other is not? You know what the IMF did when they realized their theory failed? They essentially wrote that in future, it might be necessary to force companies to employ people when wages are cut at the same time. This proposal is in stark contrast to the neoliberal theory, because this theory is wrong and did not work.

Well I guess this leads to nowhere. I give you the last word if you want =)

American consultants were instrumental in organizing the massive selloff of state assets, and quite a few of them turned around and used their knowledge of the system they created to become quite rich. Andrei Shleifer said as much in an interview on the topic, though I can't find it now.

Completely missing the point, which is that transitioning from totalitarianism/communism to democracy/capitalism is an extremely difficult task for any country, and they could use the help. Just like other countries could use the help recovering from WW2. It's indisputable that many Russian people suffered economically during the transition.

What are you are describing is pretty much reinforcement learning (or learning with access to a query-able knowledge engine, or active learning, or all of these combined). There is work on a bunch of variations of this, but it's true that it's early days for combining it with generative systems.
This is an area where you don't need perfection to get most of the benefits. The number of people who are going to have military-level opsec religiously covering the pool except when no satellites are overhead is rather small — imagine having friends over and shouting “everyone out of the pool, we can go back in 47 minutes!”.

They report €10M from over 20,000 pools so you're talking an average of €500 — if you can afford to have a pool at all, are you really going to declare to your neighbors, friends, and family that you're willing to give up so much benefit from having it just to save that small a sum? Even if the tax officials don't have an anonymous tip line, that seems like a good way to cement your reputation as a bitter cheapskate.

I guess virtual functions are common in some places.

This thing seems to generate code to check if the type matches what was inlined, and do the ordinary virtual call if it doesn't match. Virtual-call branches are well predicted nowadays, but the opportunity to integrate the code before and after the call might be worth something, probably by deleting code that computes something thrown away in that case.

Not just biologists and sociologists, but pretty much all of academia. As a college student in the 1990s it was my understanding this distinction came about from 2nd wave feminism in the '60s and '70s, but since then I've come to learn that they goes back even further, into the 19th century at least.

Moreover, in the past decade a large segment of the left has been actively pushing back against these distinctions and attempting to essentialize (i.e. root in biology) normative gender behaviors. In the eyes of some trans activists essentializing gender norms would reduce anti-trans prejudice. I personally think it's misguided and goes too far, but it does reveal some flaws in the logic of the dichotomy. Some normative gender behaviors undoubtedly are rooted in biology, notwithstanding individual variation. But all such dichotomies are flawed--either intrinsically, or because of how they frame the relevant questions; it's the nature of the simplifications we humans make, and must make, to impose order on the natural world. I haven't seen any good alternatives to the sex/gender dichotomy, and I fail to see how anything constructive can come about from tearing it down.

I remember being shocked in the 90s when I heard people applying a grammatical term, gender, to people's social/sexual expression. What's next, I thought, call infectious people "dative?"

Anyway, I got used to it because it's a useful distinction when applied to people.

I'm pretty sure in a 20th century dictionary you'll find gender was a purely grammatical term. And it was an uncommon word in English because all of our nouns are not gendered like so many other languages.
