The article goes out of its way to tell us that this guy received extensive training in what he was and was not allowed to say on social media from the PR team, and was doing well enough that he was a founding member of that company’s social media team.

I’m not sure where you’re drawing your conclusion from.
Honestly I was tempted to quote the five remembrances from buddhism: “everything you love will come to change.” We put them up on gravestones for Halloween one year.

Buddhism decidedly doesn’t say “ergo, don’t love things.” It’s more “love things (people) as they are, without attachment and in full knowledge that they are ephemeral.”
Totally their choice of course, and sorry for my luck, but it's LGPL.
In a meaningfulness perspective yes you are right.
But most content is written to get indexed by the engines and to drive traffic. I really feel like I could like totally automate this process with zappier and not even have to click on buttons. Just prompt whenever I want a new article and it is published on my niche website a minute later. Now imagine the amount of consistency power that gives you to try to rank on some keywords. I definitely see value in there. Ofcourse once your website is well ranked and your new posts are ranking high because of this consistency, on can begin writing by himself or hire human help.

Looking at it this way I find it truly game changing. Atleast I feel like there is a possibility.
People are individuals, not averages of everyone. To assume someone is a statistical extrapolation of other people is stereotyping, regardless of how frequently it is correct.

Maybe it doesn't, but a commenter further up mentioned wanting both Wikipedia and Wikimedia. So in turn, I'm not following why Wikimedia alone is the focus here.

That said, it seems like a no-brainer that using a hands-off approach in a subculture known for being biased is an open invitation for articles to become biased. That doesn't mean Wikimedia is at fault, either.
> although probably unpopular, one way around this is to have mandatory rotation of people between worker/leader roles

I think simple elections would go a long way towards worker happiness at least. Making the managers beholden to the people they manage would certainly shift dynamics.

But then, I'd also fear that a democratically ran company would struggle making hard decisions.
I know a lot of Wikipedians who are quite poor, actually, by Western standards at least. Like living in a bedsit.

From a Washington Post article a while back:

Justin Anthony Knapp doesn’t necessarily mind that: With nearly 1.5 million contributions, the 33-year-old Wikipedian is more active on the site than literally anyone else — including members of the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation’s paid staff.

Every day, Knapp drives his 15-year-old car from Indianapolis’ poorest neighborhood, where he lives, over to a restaurant on the city’s West Side; he delivers pizzas to pay his bills, in between piecemeal work at a grocery store and a crisis hotline.

Every night, Knapp logs onto Wikipedia ...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/07...

And the Wikimedia Foundation is undertaking great efforts to get people in developing countries to edit for free, in part so that Google, Amazon and Apple have Wikipedia articles for Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant to read out and make money in those countries ... same with Google's and Bing's knowledge panels, which are largely based on Wikipedia.

Hi Scrap, I moved to Florida after my first year of sobriety. There was a fantastic meeting on Friday nights with lots of "young" people. After a year or so a bunch of "thumpers" and other folks who loved to hear themselves talk started coming and totally changed the vibe. It motivated me to start a beach meeting. Well we just celebrated 30 years of our meeting. If you ever get to the treasure coast look us up. life's a beach - 8:45 am on Sunday.

From my (limited) experience with the advanced ML models, they can "do basic math", but they make amateur mistakes with basic things - which indicates they don't actually know addition, but they are good at looking at patterns in existing language.

I would assume that state-of-the-art ML models could "convert a word problem into an equation", then feed that equation into a 30 year-old graphing calculator to "do the math"

The fact that no one has done this is an indicator that "there are more important things to work on", and it is just a matter of time that someone connects the two together

It's definitely not a third of the price. There are definitely parts of the Bay Area that are more expensive, but certainly not every part. It's pretty close to Menlo Park in affordability or lack thereof. Property taxes are also 2x or more what they are in the Bay Area so you may be overestimating your purchasing power.

Media consumption of everything all at once is expensive.

But it is on demand now, which is a great improvement.

And people can also pick and choose. I can buy individual episodes or seasons, or I can pay for one service per month and then cancel and pay for another next month. Or people can pay for everything all at once if they want. Or they can watch YouTube for free or pay to have fewer ad breaks.

I see lots of improvement compared to the previous situation.
> then either you admit sexism is defined subjectively

That is indeed right in the definition, which you should read:

Hostile sexism reflects overtly negative evaluations and stereotypes about a gender (e.g., the ideas that women are incompetent and inferior to men). Benevolent sexism represents evaluations of gender that may appear subjectively positive (subjective to the person who is evaluating) but are actually damaging to people and gender equality more broadly

Can the answer not just be to charge more for the ad-free tier? The gap between what I'm willing to pay for a streaming service with and without ads is a lot more than what the current going rate is.
Yes, the association of men with intelligence more often than women would be benevolent sexism. I don't understand the issue you have with the terminology. Benevolent doesn't mean morally good here, it just means the person exhibiting the bias is assigning a positive attribute rather than negative. On the other hand, "women are dumber than men" would be hostile sexism. Yes, they are just different ways of saying the same thing, but they are framed differently.

Exactly, like I said, if you're overweight like the cops in the study, or new to training, or you take steroids, you can build muscle and lose fat. But it's not forever, at some point you'll plateau and need to pick a lane: lose fat and maintain LMB, gain some fat and gain muscle.

We're not talking insane caloric surpluses for the latter either.
I remember as a kid at the dentist office they had these headsets you could watch a movie on while you received treatment. In my opinion it made the experience worse because wearing a headset for that long always ends up being either annoying or slightly painful. I’ve used an oculus and I will say, it’s not that bad to wear, but I can’t imagine wearing one of these things for any meeting going longer than 30 minutes, whatever the perceived benefits might be.
If I can continue to pay to avoid ads I will be ok with it.
A Man Who May Have Milked $100M from Mango Markets
exclusive article that's definitely worth a read.
It's worth noting that JetBrains has a long history of successfully competing against free IDEs, which were normally always more popular than IntelliJ. First there was NetBeans (bought and open sourced by Sun very early), then there was Eclipse (developed and open sourced by IBM), now there is VSCode. Heck there are probably others I don't know about. So, this is nothing new for them.

Usually what happens is that after enough years have passed, the company funding the free IDE starts to wonder why exactly they're spending so much money to give away the results. The original passion-project founders have moved on, leaving behind maintenance devs who aren't motivated to defend it. Eventually it gets stripped to a handful of devs and donated to Apache. In the meantime IntelliJ continues to develop new features.

The question VSCode users might wonder about is what's Microsoft's strategy here? They have plenty of money, but then again so did Sun/Oracle and IBM. Is there a long term commercial plan to let the VSCode team justify themselves.
More like 0 to 25. I hope they do go to 100 so we can move past the Apple mysticism which is rampant in the US.
> I quite like the idea that prejudice becomes race/sex/whateverism when used to cause harm.

That's bit icky, because "causes harm" is extremely relative. Any negative attitude (or the shadow of a positive one) causes harm to some degree. Wasn't "microagression" a buzzword not long ago?

Everyone has some degree of power, and ignoring that feels like just another kind of marginalization.

What's so wrong with leaving those words with their current meaning, and if you mean X + power, just say the extra word. Otherwise we wind up with heated arguments over nothing more than the sounds our throats make.
> 9. Transposing a matrix

... if you only use the transpose once. If instead it is going to be used multiple times, explicitly computing the transpose can be a huge performance boost.

For dense matrices, it is typically used to exploit memory locality (i.e. to be prefetch- and cache-friendly).

For sparse matrices (your point 8), the advantage can be even more pronounced, sometimes the difference between being able to exploit sparsity, or not.
It's certainly an issue with a lot of teenagers. Speaking broadly, social status and brands say a lot at that age, and you could miss out on friends or social occasions based on it.

As an adult of course the green/blue bubbles simply don't matter, we grow up and realise that, but it certainly is a significant issue if it's affecting young peoples lives.

So I'd say it's somewhere inbetween what you descibe, perhaps a bit contrived, but also could have a significant impact on some people.

Side note - I have heard of people saying they won't date green or blue bubble people, but of course if someone takes that point of view as an adult then it's a good indicator to show how they think.
What is giving you that vibe?
Loving things is painful. Avoiding loving things is also painful. I'm not sure which is worse. Life is full of pain no matter what you do, so I guess a big part is acceptance, and being able to sit with and accept the pain.
I think in the near future we'll have deep neural nets that create and puppet an VR avatar for us, while we're sitting normally in front of our PCs. Kind of like a recursive version of a v-tuber: you pretend you're wearing a VR headset and listen to the pointless rambling during meetings, while your boss pretends that everyone is being so much more productive.
That's not a bad approach, necessarily.

There is a fairly simple program in

that solves word problems using the methods of the old AI. The point is that is is efficient and effective to use real math operators and not expect to fit numbers through the mysterious bottleneck of neural encoding.
Yep, at this point I'm burnt out on ad exposure for the rest of my life. Exposure to AM/FM radio or cable TV for more than a few minutes is a grating experience. Any service that forces ads is dead to me.
Doesn't that achieve the same thing as a seedbox but with less control and higher cost?

Seedboxes are great when used with private trackers, but the trackers usually have very strict rules about which clients you can use, how long you must seed, etc.
Got to be honest, I heard something about how Mark Cuban was going to make prescription drugs cheaply available to YOU, but I thought it was a scam meme targeting boomers on facebook. It had all the hallmarks of that sort of thing, a product that older people are in the market for (prescriptions), the backing of the authority of a TV celebrity, a stock photo of Cuban with all the information written as text in MS paint and no sources etc.

I can't believe it wasn't a scam!

That is a fairly shallow history of TV. It did not go from 3 channels to cable bundles to streaming. There are about 4 decades in there that just got glossed over. And those 4 decades included serious market constraints, from the early days of cable where you got only one choice of provider because cable TV companies contracted with the city for exclusive franchises. That opened up later, but cable was and still is dependent on what physical wires come to your house and who owns them.

Then we got satellite options, so you can choose from your physically connected cable providers, or a satellite, or the old broadcast channels. More choice, but still limited.

Why does it matter when looking at streaming? Because we've removed a layer. Before streaming, your cable/satellite company contracted with content providers then packaged it up into deals they thought you would like and sold them to you. Today, we contract directly with the content providers. Maybe bundles of providers are a bad idea, maybe not - but we are now directly in control of which services get our money, so we can "vote with our dollars" in a way that we never could under cable TV or satellite.
> And I found that the Rust/Python is at least as good as in CLion/PyCharm

I think Rust support is comparable (probably because they both use rust-analyzer). I've found the opposite for Python. PyCharm is WAY smarter than VS Code.
Language models can generate a Python function that does the math perfectly.

I bet you would get better results if you tweaked the prompt to say "Generate a Python program that solves X math problem" and then just ran the resulting Python script.

I felt the same way, which is why I started a recurring donation to WikiMedia. After about a year, they e-mailed me trying to convince me to write WikiMedia into my will. Check out this transparent attempt at manipulation:

While annoying, all intellij EAPs (early access previews) are very cpu intensive, as they run in debug mode by default to create diagnostics and crash reports. Kinda similar like if you would keep the debugger open in your browser. Not sure if you can disable it, but thats the main reason why I stopped using EAPs for work.

But the ram is typical intellij, they take what they can get from the OS :)
> You published free recipes to begin with, why? This is an implication that you are offering free work and free time to other people, and give them a way to contact you directly, so why get surprised when they ask you for more favours?

This is a truly mind-boggling response to me. If someone publishes a recipe on the Internet, you're saying that they owe you even more than what they already did?

This is like saying that if a coworker gives you helpful advice, it's fine to start sleeping on their couch. Just because someone is sharing their knowledge does not mean you're entitled to something more, and in many social contexts this would be seen as (at the very least) extremely rude.
I'm sorry but I simply don't buy those "scales of racism" of yours. Racism is bad, period.

I cannot get my head around any of these arguments other than pure and simple indoctrination. As soon as you apply basic common sensical logical reasoning to it, you see how outrageous and ridiculous is.

I don't like when people muddy the water here. *ism is judging people based on their inherent features they cannot change, be that ableism, sexism, or racism. I hold everyone, no matter their sex, color, or ability to the same standard of decency, and if I failed to do otherwise, I'd consider that, itself a form of *ism.
So capitalism functioned how it should, and a company wasn't a greedy douchebag. Still seems commendable to me. They had a choice. Their choice was to do what most companies do, and ignore barely-enforceable licensing; or to give back. They chose the better route.

Is Valve still just a company with profit as its main motive? Yeah, that's the point. But it can do helpful things as a side-effect.

From a company perspective, how do you handle someone who's gained a social media following and is posting about the company and acting as a company spokesman without being approved to do so.

You would collect all the information you can, then tell the guy to knock it off or be fired. That appears to be what happened.

Some neat info on the performance side of things, Fleet is using Skija[1] and Compose[2] as a rendering engine and UI framework. Skija is a java wrapper for Skia and still does not support the full API. Compose is still relatively new and has not had nearly the amount of man hours devoted to it as Swing. This is just a technical preview, I'm sure there will be plenty of optimizations to come. I think it's pretty exciting to see Skija being used for a mainstream project!
