There is good reason to believe that white people will be the primary targets of this layoff. I work for an employer in the Bay Area and the messaging echos many others in the region. We have been subjected to lectures and presentations for the past two years telling us that white people are a problem in society. That white people are privileged, are biased, and are oppressors. Management openly suggests to us through broadcasts that we should read the books, "How to be an anti-racist" and "White fragility". Leaders in the organization have these quasi-struggle sessions where they publicly confess their white privilege via broadcast. Management also openly states that race will be a factor in bonuses and promotions to help uplift minorities. They proudly state in their marketing that they will increase hiring of colored people and give charitable donations to black organizations.

Given this pattern of messaging, how else can someone conclude that white people are not the primary targets of a layoff of a San Francisco based company? Especially when the statement contains, "layoffs were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens".

What is missing exactly?
I bet the folks at Skydio would want to talk to you.
Yes but the whole point of them is that they are non-deserty bits inside of deserts
What difference does it make if EvilCorp can store the data (phone location data, search data, etc.) on its systems, and then will volunteer to hand over to authorities when requested?

Sorry, I meant to say Google.
Now that’s a relevant username ;)
Not when the discussion in this sub-thread was about the "tech sector". (And it's not obvious if the valuation of
Shopify is "very low".)
I think it's the certain markets that determine how useful CL is--I'm also in LA. I've mainly dealt in furniture & electronics, and CL in other cities, particularly Minneapolis, was a dream, so good in fact that I didn't know FB marketplace existed until I moved to LA and had to look elsewhere after seeing how bad the CL market for used stuff was.
You're not missing something. I just wanna see how far we can take this thing, you know? 4000 ELO seems within reach now. What about 5000, 6000 etc?

Computer chess is essentially a sport unto itself at this point, beating humans is sort of uninteresting, though I'm sure grandmasters will always find uses for ever stronger engines. They're mainly used to study openings, and since analysing from the start of the game is extremely complex, stronger engines are always helpful.
I don’t get that argument, reducing the number of deaths is quite a good argument regardless of previous pandemics.

Also I wouldn’t compare Covid deaths with Spanish flu deaths. The access to health care and the quality of health care is totally different today than in 1918.

I think it’s wrong todo such comparisons as an argument against the restriction.

I could also imagine that the number of flu death went down due to restrictions (would be good to know if this is true).
> That is very much a problem. You are not going to solve it by firing white people. This will just give more ammunition to populists.

Yeah, well that's exactly my point. If firing white people isn't going to solve racism, then this isn't exactly the "last straw" before we end up in an upside society. We're still ice skating uphill. And really the populists don't need a lot of ammunition since they're always willing to invent grievances when they can't find a real one. I mean, you're doing it right now. I don't think we should be setting policy based on what the worst people in our society are going to be offended by.

> So you are in fact saying that this is a good kind of racism, justified by History and the current socio-economical situation.

Yeah, basically. You can debate semantics if you want but it's beside the point. The term "racism" generally implies not just racial bias, but bias born of animus. This isn't animus. There's no hatred directed towards white people. There's an implicit assumption at work that laid off white workers will have a much easier time getting hired somewhere else and data says that's true. Especially a place like Twilio that probably employs loads of college graduates with technical savvy.
I am working on generating synthetic ECGs that can be conditioned on a patient but making it impossible to find the patient given the synthetic ECG and the data.
Craigslist works fine, I'm okay with the older UI. Yes, there are scammers but there are scammers on FB marketplace as well. Now it's lost it's users to FB but it's possible it may see a resurgence after a bad move by FB or some trend change.
Is there any meat to this ? These types of headlines make their way into the press all the time. From the article, "$15 million was set aside for the Treasury Department to study a free federal tax-filing website". This just studies the situation. No concrete steps are mentioned, nor is any actual money set aside. Considering government inefficiency of 10x, the actual money needed for the IRS to implement this would be to the tune of tens to hundreds of millions, optimistically. And that's without considering the pushback from the tax lobby. I am not optimistic that Congress will approve massive funding for the IRS.
My colleagues and I are writing a system for insurance companies to prepare their reinsurance submission pack data, which they would otherwise spend enormous amounts of time and money doing in Excel manually.

We have some pretty big clients using this in anger, and they’re wild about it.

It’s not glamorous work, but it’s important!
Not just that, but weighed by their nominal price which is insane.
I once sat through a “Pending Regulation of Cryptocurrency” CLE and one of the panelists was a real crypto-fanatic. He put up a slide about how quickly bitcoin was being adopted around the world and he kept excitedly saying how Nigeria was the fastest-growing crypto market in Africa! Another of the panelists was an FBI agent who investigates crypto-related crimes and when it was his turn he was quick to point out that rapid adoption of crypto in a country famous for internet scams isn’t exactly a selling point...
I guess what I'm saying is that I agree we're in the Clever Hans stage of AI, where we're just more explicit about stopping Hans when his tapping has reached our goal.

I think the ability of these image models to synthesize new images is really amazing. It makes the computer feel like it is doing something organic, and not just applying filters and things to the images. Then, when we see the new image paired with a text that generated it, we think the system might actually know what we're talking about. But it obviously doesn't, it's just the luck of a model with billions of parameters. Whenever the model fails to produce an acceptable output, it stops being intelligent and the user is considered to be bad at their job, or to be asking for something that is unreasonable.

I think it's still spot-on to say that comprehension is far away, even though you can pair outputs to inputs and have a simulacrum of comprehension.
that sounds like hyperfocus, which is absolutely part of ADHD.
I would sign onto this Kickstarter.

Untrue, forcing more usage on a card while mining will immensely increase power usage whilst hardly improving hashrate. Mining GPUs are undervolted and arguably will be in better condition than a hardcore gamer's card.
I mean, yeah, that was a huge mistake. They should have left it alone entirely, they would have had so much more money to build the Meta-verse with!
To be fair; lack of anonymity CAN increase confidence and safety in the transaction/meetup.

(I'm not saying it always does, or that it cannot be exploited, or that it won't eventually be scammed beyond usefulness, etc; but it's not always a clear negative today).
CL lost Canada to Kijiji a few years ago. Now FB is taking over. I'll probably eventually stop looking for classified ads because of that.
Your blog post makes lots of sense if all you care about is one threshold: contrast must be above X for readability. Then the equivalence-under-monotonic-function makes total sense: you literally don't care what the function does above or below your threshold. This extends to if you pick N threshold points (text must be above Contrast1, contextual borders between Contrast2 and Contrast3, etc.) by first looking at the function and then "eyeballing" those thresholds. But is that the best we can do? The difference between (Ymin / Ymax) and log(Ymin / Ymax) starts to matter a lot as soon as you start talking about "twice the contrast" or "20% more contrast", doesn't it?
How are they not widely available? Home Depot and Lowe's both sell them.
I've always thought that plans where custom-domain-or-not is a differentiator between free and paid are unethical. In this case, antithetical, too. (If a sufficient number of people abandon Twitter as part of the your-own-personal-homepage bandwagon, but they make the unfortunate mistake of letting their dart land on Postcard and signing up for a free plan, then you really haven't achieved the stated goal. You've recreated the way she was tethered by name to twitter.com/alice, except the difference is that you're the beneficiary, not Twitter—because she is now held captive at alice.postcard.page.)

Good reading, I've been curious!

Some observations as a team active here.

We're adjacent / complementary because we make graph db's (and regular SQL/databricks/etc.) more actionable via rich & scaled graph viz workflows (analyst-facing) + graph automl (automation-facing), so sometimes end up working alongside graph db co's at enterprise/gov/tech customers so not just a silo'd db. I think we only saw ~1 production user of dgraph though, so entirely based on their competitors:

* Graph DB TAM: Neo4j revenue is probably around $200M/yr now, and probably another $100-200M across the other graph db vendors. (Market analysts say the graph db market today is $1B+ but seems rosy.) Importantly, because of analyst + AI use case growth in areas like recommendations, anti-fraud, cyber, etc., and streamlining of infra via cloud/docker/etc, everyone good is growing quite well, and I expect good YoY growth for everyone for at least 3 more years. The AI market likely a much bigger leap for graph, tho less clear for these graph db and especially cpu ones.

* GraphQL TAM: Agreed. But may be a bigger culture shock for a pivot. Not ready for Series B levels of expections. leading to...

* Revenue: Super risky, lacking big & growing revenue, to assume a Series A, and then a Series B (!), unless you have a special trick like having ties to the chinese government or being a successful serial founder people just trust.

* ... Tip for people looking at jobs: ask revenue / spending ratio + how many years in the bank when not profitable. If a b2b team can't make revenue work after $xM raised, they're on the path for stressful grinding, dilutive bridges & shutdown. VC treadmill grows expectations, so coming in from behind is asking for PE to take over or an acquihire where only the founders win.
To me, being able to trace the province of content is much more dangerous than deep fakes, since such systems have the potential to become wide spread, unavoidable, and constrain free exchange of information.
yes.

(Also, don't forget, a void :-)
We need a law that says, "List price must include all fees".
How to get over my mid-life crisis.
This is great! I have ADHD and find this helps a lot. A YouTuber I follow has a two hour video called "Work with me" of just him working at his desk with music playing. When I first saw it, I laughed. But then one day I was having trouble staying focused, remembered the video and put it on my TV and I found it to be surprisingly effective! Unreasonably so! So good luck with your project! You're on to something.

I can only think of one, and it was an anti-poaching agreement from 2005 that the involved companies paid compensation for later. I haven’t seen any reason to believe that is still happening.
Why strange if we very much do the same at external borders? Especially asylum seekers who get their phones confiscated but all in all the system is very similar when you entry outside Schengen, only imo Americans are more paranoid in a good way, about their privacy unlike euros.
By that logic you can include gaming in there as well. Thousands of people re-playing the same scenes over and over again, instead of just watching a let's play of the first person that bought the game. I guess the only reasonable uses for GPUs are cancer research etc.
I wonder if I'd get arrested for bringing a wiped phone with me with just a phone number on it.
I believe that some companies making layer two network encryption gear also got a big boost around the same time.
This is craigslist, not facebook: don't over-engineer what you don't need to over-engineer. You just look at already-made datasets that give the real world distance between two places, and remove search results based on that.

Never, ever, use google maps for this, and definitely don't use it "per query, as needed". The overwhelming majority of infrastructure doesn't change on even a yearly basis: use someone else's precompiled dataset, and update whenever they push an update.
I mean, it's 5,000 volts at 100mA for the "high current" hi-pot or 20,000 volts at 10mA for the "high voltage" one or 40A AC @ 8V AC for the ground bonder. They do about what you'd expect: components pop, things arc, things arc a lot at 20kV, things smoke and then melt if you shove 40A through them.

It's more interesting when you break the tester itself. But then you have to fix the tester. These are not complicated machines (they're basically just transformers)... there's some complexity in regulating the outputs and more in making the measurements but most of the hard stuff is in having the tester itself survive the horrid abuse it's visiting on everything else around it.
Wow, that's a frustrating bug, but good spot working it out.

As you say, sounds like interrupts are disabled while the open/close signal is being handled. Makes you wonder how it's handled in other models? Something physical like the lock you mention. Or maybe something in logic - like a series of flip flops? - to store and forward sensor actuations.

Hardware is fascinating but not when it goes wrong :-(
Interesting take on GIS application. I used to work only with ArcGIS some 25 years ago. It was pretty new concept for me at that time. The whole spatial concept of linking databases with geo coordinates.
Im building an readonly API for bank transaction without reverseiing their internal ui but relying on alert transaction email and parse it to build transaction.
Presumably the answer is "do exactly what is done now", which is to say offer the tech as a service (i.e. don't sell the hardware) and screen the uploaded sequence requests for dangerous sequences.
Interesting, that fit's one of the lines of research on disc health because the disc are nourished indirectly mostly through the porous vertebrae, it takes motion to create the pressure variations to facilitate blood flow. This may be why most active chairs don't move the needle enough, the motion is both limited and usually only triggered when a person is prompted to move by discomfort.

I'm having a blast working on https://printnanny.ai/ - the embedded computer vision system is cool, plus there are many meaty unsolved problems in the 3D printing universe. To name a few...

- Rolled a Linux distribution (PrintNanny OS) designed for mixing/matching controller software across a manufacturing "fleet".

- Created an atomic upgrade/rollback system.

- Built a WebRTC stack for live camera streaming.

- Lots of fun applying queue theory to distribute work across a fleet.

I'm learning a lot about how the government contract/bid process works, which I've always been insulated from as an engineer (even when working at companies known for gov support, like Red Hat).

My biggest customers tend to serve an ultra-specific niche, which is always fun to learn about. I love getting to talk to people who have spent thousands of hours cracking the laser tag gun market in Canada, or top RV parts supplier in Pacific Northwest, etc. There are entire worlds-within-worlds out there. =)
Nice, afaik focusmate is used for every day tasks, but not much. What do you want to do different?
I Used focusmate for a week or so but It stopped helping me at all once novelty wore off ( same as every adhd/ procrastination tool yet)
>There’s a reason new DTC brands avoid Amazon and that’s cause you’re not building a customer base or your brand, just helping Amazon build there’s.

THIS X10000! Happened to a colleague of mine not too long ago. She developed a product, and sold on Amazon as well as her own storefront. As soon as she started seeing solid volume on Amazon, her product became an "Amazon preferred product" or something like that. However, within 2 weeks of getting that distinction, her sales dropped to 0 on Amazon. Why? Amazon started selling a nearly identical product - Amazon used the sales data to understand her product was popular, and went right to her supplier and cut her out of the equation.

Amazon does this constantly.
"... all university rankings are essentially worthless. They’re based on data that have very little to do with the academic merit of an institution . . . "

So much this. The biggest value of a prestigious university is the name, not the education. Prestigious universities crank out top-notch graduates (and the occasional complete incompetent) because they accept only top-tier students (and the occasional complete incompetent).

As a parent, know that if you get your child into a 'good' school you've probably done all you can. The outcome has more to do with your child than the stultifying, enervating, curriculum to which they'll be subjected.

Education from -1 to 24 is horribly broken (at least in the U.S.).
Given that crypto miners weren't willing to think ahead to the consequences of countries needing to fire coal power plants back up to meet their demand, or the problems with continuing to crypto mine during multiple worldwide energy crises, I am not surprised if they didn't think ahead to what would happen if the Ethereum merge happened exactly as planned.
Mine are minimal; I pay no annual fee and no interest if I pay off in time. So they're effectively just the transaction overhead, which debit demands as well.
I'm quite sure NSA had at least one backup plan, provably more. It is also impossible to know how much of Apple's stance is just for show.
> One thing I don’t get is why someone else would copy your listing? Do they somehow get a slice of the pie if a respondent rents?

Usually this is a scam. You advertise someone else's vacant property, break in to conduct tenant tours, collect fees/deposits/first month's rent, then bail.
gQUIC != QUIC, though it definitely inspired it (the same way SPDY inspired HTTP/2).

QUIC went through the IETF and HTTP/3 is supported in all modern browsers now.

It also has a lot of technical advantages over previous versions. Google doesn't always do the right thing but I haven't heard a solid argument over why their contributions to QUIC and HTTP/3 are bad.
I think this is fantastic. Availability of GPUs for gaming and small scale machine learning just exploded dramatically. Would be interesting to see how NVDA behaves in the next couple of quarters
Apologies on the MSPR <> MAP mixup, but the rest of I said is true in terms of MAP.

Even "going to cart" to get price can be seen as improper avoidance of MAP by some brands. The only way to get around MAP, in that case, is via more hidden things, like a coupon code from an email.

I've even seen brands require a specific shipping charge - and that it couldn't be combined with the item's MAP to show "free shipping", even through the cart.

And yes, while "MAP" is not technically legally enforceable, a brand can also tell that store they won't let them sale any more...so it's still perfectly enforceable if the brand wants to continue with the 49 other stores and drop that 1 store.
Craigslist is basically dead in my area.
Arcadia really is extraordinary. My favorite modern play and one of my favorite pieces of writing of any kind. +1 to the recommendation above.
Nigerian here. At some point it gets old and you just get used to it.
yes and it will happen again!

the 2020 cycle was a triple whammy though

1) semiconductor and supply chain shock

2) cryptocurrencies zooming in price and profitability again

3) cryptocurrencies actually being used. in all prior cycles, blockchains were empty (although people got a glimpse of what congestion would be like, during the 2017 cycle). miners earned the subsidy made for people to show up at all. miners are also privy to a cut of transactions that occur, but this was close to 1% of the subsidy. in the 2020 cycle it was 250% on top of the subsidy, frequently, and way more than that as blocks were full. All mining calculators were wrong because they only show the predictable subsidy and not a forecast based on an average, but miners learned how profitable it was.

Automated Market Makers (Uniswap code and classes) and Automated Lending (Compound) were 2020 cycles killer apps built on top of 2017’s killer app of ERC20 tokens.

Followed by NFT’s and their marketplaces.

Other chains secured by GPUs will get this activity, periodically.
I’m also curious whether the copying device works with all models. If I went back to my old iPhone 3, for example, would they still be able to snag a copy? Might their surveillance be foiled by want of a dongle?

Edit— From the photos posted further down thread it seems like they’re armed with every imaginable dongle...
Reminds me of the Stainless Steel Rat, where he is intentionally caught and sent to prison, hoping to further his criminal education. Only to find out he is now incarcerated with all the criminals that weren't smart enough to evade capture...
Pharmacies and prescribers are required to play an active role if they want to be licensed to dispense controlled substances.
The problem with your argument is that you’re only looking at the negatives. If you believe that weapons can only be used to kill children, then, yes, your view makes sense. If you’ve been adversely affected by weaponry, you likely hate weapons with every fiber of your being. However, there are others who have used weapons to defend themselves against unjust aggression and those people may view weapons favorably. And finally, there are most people who have never been directly impacted by the machines of war. Those people probably fall around a neutral opinion of weapons. Some may skew towards a positive opinion, some, like yourself, skew negative, but overall largely neutral. Given this sentiment distribution, I don’t think you can make a judgment on whether or not it is immoral to like reading about weaponry.
For the most part, they're barely even Gen X ages. Still a boomer world in the upper ranks once you get outside tech.
Yep, Cockatrice is one of those old-fashioned options I'm trying to improve on :)
