Everyone is assuming OP is meaning ML and that they're in the just-enough-knowledge-to-be-dangerous phase.

The problem that needs solving isn't "catch anything that could, upon deciphering, hurt someone's feelings a bit". It's "catch enough despicable or aggressive comments before they cause problems for others".

The later is easily doable because part of the signal is the interactions and you only need to damp bad interactions down until they aren't self-sustaining wars across the feeds of the uninterested, not sanitize every post so that they're all toddler-safe.

Once you stop trying to prevent bad thoughts and switch to trying to create a good forum it becomes tractable at any scale.
> There is a phrase in Polish "Wyciągnąć kopyta" meaning "to die", which literally means "to straighten out one's hooves".

Hacker News does exactly this, and the people using this site like it.
To be fair, something can be highly radioactive for a short time, moderately radioactive for a long time, AND slightly radioactive for a very long time, assuming there are at least three different radioisotopes involved.

Also, it's a exponential decay curve, so something that's slightly radioactive a very long time from now is probably still fairly dangerous right now.

> I get that birth rates are also low in Europe so a good social safety net can't be all of the solution

It doesn’t seem to be a solution at all since European countries consistently have lower birth rates than the US.

> but I know an awful lot of people in the US who'd like to have kids, or who'd like to have more of them

I think for the most part that’s just a rationalization. Dual income no kids is just easier and fun.
At a certain point, it's just an argument about semantics. They mean the grid.

I'm pretty sure the constant repetition in trad media - especially for-profit noise machines like Fox and Infowars - had a lot more to do with that than any ban.

I read the Financial Times and there was a constant stream of obvious troll accounts trying to force the laptop narrative into threads, whether they fitted or not.

Moderation is a small element of a cultural immune system which exists to protect everyone from organised - actually industrialised - bad actors.

No one really cares if a few individuals believe something weird about UFOs or whatever. But when those beliefs are encouraged as part of a deliberate campaign to undermine scientific authority and replace it with irrational emotively charged authoritarian conformity, that's a very different game.

And that is exactly what's been happening with the anti-vax and anti-masking campaigns around Covid, and even more obviously with all things QAnon.

The latter has been incredibly toxic and destructive to families and individuals, and it only spreads because Q content is easily accessible on popular trad and social media channels.

The harder it is to spread and access this content, the less effective it is.

Simpler? A premise of EA is that people can make choices that maximize the good in the long run. Events like this should make us doubt that premise. The proponents of EA can't do it. Who can? I would say: no one, and serious moral philosophies should take that into account.

As a developer, the ugly truth about Agile is that something (TM) is delivered and fallout is labeled Technical Debt.
I pretty strongly disagree with that prosecutor, no matter his experience. The fact that someone like Holmes “can be a productive member of society” just because she’s white, comes from a middle class family, and there’s no body does not compute. Holmes is very clearly a sociopath. And maybe I have missed something, but I have never seen anything close to remorse or admission of guilt from her. She even still claims her deep voice is her real voice, when there’s evidence and testimony to the contrary. There’s something really wrong there.

White collar crime should be punished to the utmost degree. These are usually people that had everything given to them to live a legitimate, educated, and safe life, and they blew it all due to greed and ego. Most non- “white collar” criminals didn’t have that chance to start with. And white collar crime usually affects a multitude of people over periods of years. It’s not like most other crimes that happen on much smaller timescales with a lot more emotion involved. White collar crime usually means someone is waking up every day for years saying “yep, I’m still gonna keep doing this”.

In "Fall of civilizations" series [0] there is somewhere a mention of caravans thousands of camels long, thousands years ago, going through north africa. Imagining this one has to wonder how populous their goat herds were in that time and how much their grazing helped to degrade the pre-sahara/sahel ecosystems.

Maybe we should try to reforest those areas again.

I've been the lone guy seriously working in a team of do-nothing.

You can definitely get away doing nothing as an engineer if the project manager is too busy or does not care.
Also works if your direct manager is himself a do-nothing, or a developer that for promoted and actually does not have any management knowledge or experience.

Of course the real problem is that the whole organization is dysfunctional, but there is no right or easy way to fix this problem, except try to identify the honest guys and fire everyone else. Because most of the alternatives ends up with the minority of productive guys quitting.
Right on, looking forward to it! Yeah I saw that module and was planning to use it but I just wrote up an Express/Node implementation first and never really looked back. But looking forward to collabing I will await your issues, cheers!

No: if she doesn't e.g. abuse phones or get into dumb fights with inmates, she'll get 54 days off per year in good time. That's it; that's what you get in the federal system. There is no parole. She didn't get a reduced sentence; she got a sentence that was higher than the PSR.
She also doesn't have to surrender until april 27th. Its nice to be wealthy.
> Musk wrote on Twitter late on Thursday that he was not worried about resignations as “the best people are staying”.

"The best" by his definition are obviously the most obedient employees that are afraid of loosing a lousy long hour job with a tyrant boss and zero flexibility. Employees that are in fear about feeding their family.

Showing his real face, looks like this is how Musk wants his slaves - in fear. Once I thought this guy would save mankind's future, but a future saved by him might be a very ugly distopia, non that I wish for my children.

Federal prison doesn't have parole, it is a fixed 'good conduct' credit of up to 54 days per year. So she's serving a little more than 9 years minimum.
"Acceptance of responsibility" is like -3 points on the guidelines. That won't change the fact that he's still at like +40 points for the enormous loss amount, the huge number of victims, and the number of victims who suffered hardship. Even if they depart downward (they probably will because he will likely have the one of the best legal teams ever assembled and the most persuasive sentencing memorandum ever drafted) they are unlikely to depart by as much as you're talking about. SBF will probably get at least the sentence of Holmes unless he gets the most naive judge in the world.
Fun question to reflect on answering! It's all about teamwork! I'm defining "impact" as user count:

About 8 years ago I built (as tech lead) a very simple commenting system that is seen by about a million people a day with several thousand DAUs.

I also made a triple-A cricket video game that was huge in India (batsman and umpire AI, some physics).

Made (as enterprise architect) a mobile banking app for a bank with several million customers.
And many states still have people in prison for weed.
I think there's been talk to do speaker diarization with whisper-asr-webservice[0] which is also written in python and should be able to make use of goodies such as pyannote-audio, py-webrtcvad, etc.

Whisper is great but at the point we get to kludging various things together it might start to make more sense to use something like Nvidia NeMo[1] which was built with all of this in mind and more.

Everyone takes the same premed courses though, and you need to be able to teach yourself any MCAT content that wasn't covered by coursework. Sure people will game it, but it's your science GPA that counts, and having people from a diversity of backgrounds is a good thing.
Teslas are nice cars. Owning one is a status symbol, but I don’t think Elon Musk is the deciding factor when it comes time to buy one or go elsewhere. Until other car makers get their acts together and produce luxury EVs with charger infrastructure, consumers will overlook Elon Musk’s antics.

I agree with you though that Musk’s brands are becoming too associated with his personality, which is mercurial and irksome. Caveat emptor.
The right move for any remaining engineering talent is ask for zero extra compensation - that is, an extra zero added to the TC number.

An additional zero will be required if overtime is needed.
Shouldn't the language and model inputs be dropdowns instead of text input?

I'm going to hope/assume you're doing some sort of sanitisation on those inputs.

Additionally, wouldn't you lose the language detection that's done for no language input? (IIRC, it uses the first 30 seconds to detect language if you don't specify one)
The Medibank (Australia) hack and response
This is what Disney did to streaming media - bought out Marvel, locked all their content behind their own streaming service and locked in the choice of the service and content together into a single consolidated entity.

People now scream at Netflix for not having this content anymore and happily pay Disney for it.

> This is the culture of the moralist left, of the blue cities, of the Coast, of Progressivism as the only moral ideology

> In the US, at least, if you engage with conservative culture, with Christians, with rural people, with the people who are tired of "cancel culture," you will still find plenty of grace.

As is often the case with generalization born of prejudice, this effort to split good and evil along ideological lines fails to match up with reality. Plenty of Progressives give grace to people around them. Plenty of Christians ostracize and abuse even the people closest to them. The vocal hypocrites on either side loom large for their ideological opponents and the quietly good on either side are easily ignored, except by their ideological peers. This pattern holds in rural towns and huge cities.

The problems of selfishness and hate for others are difficult to solve, and unfortunately even a framework as simple as Christ's demonstrates that. Try not to get too comfortable with the belief that people who see the world differently aren't still trying to navigate it kindly.
Yes thank you. As someone who built these for a living I can definitely say that this is a really good solution.
My experience with Poker is that there are three strategies which beginners can easily perform: always fold, always go all-in, play randomly. These are all sub-optimal strategies but they tend to be relatively successful compared to all but the greatest players.

To relate this to the article, it seems like unless you're really good at "consciously" playing poker, then playing thoughtlessly (like the centipede) is probably your best bet and how you often see beginners stitching up all but the real masters.
> a lot of our natural experience of the universe is within 3 orders of magnitude of the base units we use.

That may be in large part because of the unit prefixes we use. That is we think of these things in 3 orders of magnitudes because our unit prefixes come in three orders of magnitude but not the other way around. I think a much likelier explanation is the fact that many European languages (most importantly French and English) stop naming each decimal order after a thousand. If there was a word for ten-thousand—say fiorthom—but not a hundred-thousand (ten-fiorthom), surely these prefixes would map be multiples of 10⁴ as well.
not the kids fault though
Same. It wasn't racist at all.
Early in my career at a FAANG, I set out to fix a minor bug in how some labels were displayed in non-Latin scripts and ended up rewriting a small part of the font handling system. Nothing fancy, basically just a hash table lookup.

Ten years later my code lives on in a product used by billions of people, meaning it has been executed trillions of times since, far more than the total sum of all the other code I have written in my career.
Yes, and I even clicked through to the energy.gov article. The article does not define what "100% clean energy" is. It doesn't even use the term 100% clean energy except in the subtitles of a couple of graphs. It uses the term "100% clean power", which again, is very sloppy. Do you understand the US uses a lot of energy besides electric? Is that going to be clean or not? If not, what does the term "100% clean energy" mean?
I mean, she's attractive, smart, pretty good genetics, clearly well connected. I don't find it that surprising.
That's still going to need to have bearings supporting the shafts that are able to support thrust loading (when power is applied in either direction in one of the helical cut gearsets).

Luxury watches. Buy a Rolex and then wear it home. You can probably move up to $100,000 in a single watch with something like a steel Daytona.
"Ethical butchers" is an oxymoron.
But you're using a far too narrow definition of "intrinsic value" that is not at all the definition used in economics in finance. It doesn't just mean something like "the value it would have to me if I were the only person alive on Earth." Computer networks, protocols, and other technological systems can still have intrinsic value even when they require many people to use them.
Sometimes I'm in wondrous awe at the unfathomable scale of it all, and other times I can understand why the Krikkiters were so upset.

I've moderated a number of internet forums. And at the end of the day, you have a choice:

1. You can keep the deliberate assholes, the abusers, the white supremacists, the people with actual swastikas in their profile photos, etc. (Some of these people are much worse than others, obviously.)

2. Or you can keep the nice, pleasant people you want to hang out with.

If you choose to keep (1), you'll eventually lose a significant fraction of (2).

I have zero desire to participate in unmoderated internet communities. Social spaces require some basic norms of behavior, and there has to be some mechanism for kicking people out.

If you want to encourage successful communities, people need to have the freedom of association.
btw, I'm listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFFxLwvGLhU right now, so I don't know if he covers this later. He's right that she will soon give an interview where she admits guilt, no matter what she says now. It's a ploy to get a commutation.

But:

There is such a thing as a prison consultant. You pay for them before you go in. These are people with some background in the bureau of prisons, or some pull, or something. They can steer you to a "good" prison, if the one you're designated for is not what you want. My friend was supposed to go to one near his house, and he preferred a different one. He got it. It was not a country club, contrary to the stereotype. (Should be unnecessary to say this, but I'm not going to provide any more details.)

The guy in that video said that they could be pissed off at her, and ship her across the country to West Virginia, instead of Dublin, CA. The thing about that you wouldn't think of is, those trips are hell. It's a special flight, It might stop eight times on the way, and every step of the way you're cuffed or chained, waiting a long time for the next flight.
That is something which could be addressed by stemming or lemmatizing the input before piping it into whatever you use for translation.
Hey Simon, thanks for creating Django with Adrian. I was deeply interested in programming from a young age but learning Django in my teens sparked a passion for web development that has yet to feign so many years later! Appreciate all your contributions to this space.
Nice theory.

But what will actually happen in practice is that the "productive 10%" will dangerously flirt with mental health issues, which will cause productivity to drop close to 0% and then when a outage happens the platform will simply collapse, because nobody will be available to deal with it anymore.
There are 3 possibilities to explain this.

1) Their crime was more violent in nature

2) They had a prior record and could be considered a danger to the community

3) Their lawyers weren't as good as Holmes' were
> And assume we increase battery supply by 40x (even though lithium price is going up dramatically now).

It sounds like you're assuming at large scale, Lithium is required for storage (it's not - consider pumped water), and at small scale Lithium is required for storage (it's not - consider flow batteries).

Point being, increasing storage by 40x is not infeasible because of any constraints around Lithium cost / availability.
Yeah someone submitted a PR for those to be fixed, I'm just wary about restarting the server because I haven't setup a way to be able to reboot without losing the websockets

I think it may have been a good idea to get a job as an Uber driver anyway as it gives an idea, though probably intentionally false, of what her life will be like after jail and a reflection of acceptance of new reduced standing in life. The ability to endue and handle in good spirits the regular humiliation from the occasional passengers recognizing her.

For the jury it could factor in as part of the punishment. It would make concrete the fall from grace and signal a complete loss of hope of trying again. Ending up an Uber driver would also be a deterrent to white collar criminals who may not know what jail is like but do have an idea to what being an Uber driver is like. I think for some people they’d rather go to jail than risk that kind of humiliation. So punishment, prevention, and deterrence… might help.
In your example you describe "something else". If there's "something else", then that "something else" is an allowable expense.
That sounds more like a review of the literature than a joke.
As someone who spent way too much time there in the mid 00's, 4chan is incredibly toxic and the existence of strong intra-group cohesion doesn't make it "wholesome". Otherwise we can say a KKK chapter is wholesome because they also do potlucks.
Well, either way, the fact that he's getting what he wants for a lot less than Waymo has to pay doesn't mean he can't or won't pay more if he has to. And if there are engineers who idolize him so much, why do you think he'll have trouble recruiting for Twitter? I think it's Tesla they idolize, not Musk, so he'll need to pay a lot more to get people for Twitter.
Ah, I didn’t realize that about federal prison sentences. Thanks for the correction. I still think she deserves every bit of the sentence though.

To my knowledge, she has never even shown remorse or admitted to her crimes. Even her pre-sentencing statement showed no accountability or responsibility for her actions. She continues to paint Theranos as just a failed startup.
