This leaves out the crucial fact that the police were not threatening to lynch anybody, they had the guy in jail and told the protestors who were threatening him to piss off. Then a group of armed black men escalated the situation further by entering the police station with guns which was not allowed. Predictably, someone tried to wrestle the gun out of a hand of one of the people in the armed mob that just tried to illegally take over the police station. That man was shot and killed by one of the black men, and then the riot started.

It's important to tell this part since it unsurprisingly always seems to get left out. That doesn't absolve any of the white people who then went on to participate in the riot or who originally wanted the guy lynched, but during that riot a significant number of men on both sides of the riot were killed (I believe it was 26 black people, 10 white people or roughly in line with those estimates).

Now, one could look at it and say well if someone didn't try to disarm one of the black men who had stormed the police station armed, then the riot never would have happened. And that's true. One could also say that if the group of white men outside of the police station weren't yelling about lynching the guy, then nobody would have stormed the police station and thus no riot. That is also true. So in reality there really is blame to go around. My point is, on every telling of this story it gets further and further from the truth.

Another interesting point that gets lost is there were more than TWICE as many white people lynched in Oklahoma than black people.[1] The point is with stories like this we need to let the data and first hand accounts tell the story, not emotion. If you go off emotion you'll be believing 800 people were killed and the whole town was firebombed by the US army.

Getting package up to distro standard and have it included in distro can be complex

Making a package ? Nope. Make a dir tree

./DEBIAN/control
./usr/bin/yourapp

make a control file

Package: my-tools
Version: 0.0.1
Section: base
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Maintainer: Someone <some@email>
Depends: etckeeper (>= 0.40), git-core, iotop, iftop, links, mc, multitail, mtr-tiny, nmap, psmisc, screen, tcpdump, curl, socat
Recommends: swaks, atop, ntpdate
Suggests: hping3
Conflicts: vim
Description: Some random tools
tools i use for everyday work

run one command

fakeroot dpkg-deb -b my-tools

and you sir are fucking DONE.

want postinst script ? shove it in ./DEBIAN/postinst

want to tell package manager "those are configs, don't replace them on upgrade" ? Put a list of them in ./DEBIAN/conffiles

in case of RPM all of that info is even in single file (altho bit more fuckery IIRC) but if you are lazy you can just make deb package and convert it to RPM

Making simple package is EXTREMELY simple. Checks ran by distro are not but they need to make sure your package doesn't leave crap or break anything else so IMO that's understandable, you can just host somewhere else if you don't agree with distro policies.

> Does anyone else have a similar struggle and is there anything you think I could do about it?

Yeah sounds like we're in a similar boat. My forgetfulness has been like a tragic running joke with friends and family. It's been less of a problem at work due to notes and project planning.

I just treat everything like work now and keep a pen and notebook/bookmark in my pocket at all times. Have so for about 15 years now. It mitigates most of the issue.
>The problem is that standardized tests are more a measurement of access to resources and parental support than raw knowledge or future success. It does feel nice to say that everyone is equal, but not everyone has an equal chance.

Feel free to figure out better system.

Tests while not perfect, are in my opinion at least fair and relatively transparent.

>High school GPA and class rank are a more accurate indicator of success in postsecondary

jesus christ - GPA. I honestly don't know any more biased metric than GPA.

Even if GPA is better predictor of how hardworking you are, then I still don't care, there's too much bias in this metric.

Standarized tests are "pure", they aren't your average not 100% emotionally stable teacher
Here a strange one...

My address in Lafayette, IN is currently being served by a fiber provider, MetroNet (https://www.metronet.com/) but they are not listed as a provider (neither Residential nor Business)

The stats on the CIRR site across schools did always seem a little... odd to me, with differences in outcomes too big to believe at times. Sounds like I would have found the same thing if I looked at any individual school over time, as the rules and practices changed.

Why would x86 L1 be limited by the page size? The cache works at 128 byte granularity. If it's too big it might increase tlb pressure I suppose, but it makes sense that increases in L1 would be best accompanied by increases in tlb size.
Last I checked essential goods are pretty expensive if you buy locally.
That did seem like a severe sentence, but he was trying to have someone murdered! I don't know what the right sentence was - threats to life are serious and need serious punishments. Look at the jan 6 people, people were part of a mob that attacked the capital and said they wanted to kill legislative leaders, and very few got more than 12 months or even any more jail time.
In my direct experience, Harvard's faculty (professors) are a lot more involved in the leadership of the university than at most universities. There's a reason Harvard's arts & sciences school, including the undergraduate College, is called the Faculty of Arts & Sciences (FAS) -- the Faculty really do have a lot of power there.

I worked in the FAS IT department for several years in the mid-to-late 00's. A huge chunk of my team's projects were custom software solutions, necessitated by top professors being extremely picky about random things, which prevented use of off-the-shelf software.

Pretty much nothing in this Crimson article lines up with my experience. Maybe things have changed a lot since I worked there, but I'm skeptical.
> You could probably eliminate the entire 32 bit support, real mode no such and just run it in emulation.

That would literally obsolete every single motherboard on the market, and force those motherboard makers to make a new bootup cycle.

And there's still a lot of programs that run in 32-bit Windows by the way. Like, the near entirety of Good ol Games. I still like playing SimCity 2000, Heroes of Might and Magic, and Panzer General.

8080 ? Of course not. There was a clean break to 8086.

And then we never dropped compatibility with 8086.

Absolutely! I'm 40 years old exact and I've never had a particularly good short term memory. In meetings, I have to write every new piece of information down in notes, otherwise it's gone completely.

In grade school and college, I had excellent reasoning skills but my short term memory was pretty average or less than average.

Launch School is an incredible option: https://launchschool.com/

It's a self-paced online curriculum that generally takes 1.5 - 2 years to get through, with an optional 4-month "Capstone" intensive after graduating the core curriculum. Progressing out of each course in the curriculum involves having to pass rigorous, easily failable, assessments; you just can't progress until you've cleared a pretty high bar of knowledge in each domain. There is a good mix of live interview assessments, written assessments, and coding projects.

The job placement statistics are staggering in comparison to the 'quicker' options -- as they should be given the time investment involved. I'm unaware of any institution that has had more success in placing students in high-quality software development positions.

Disclosure: I've been studying for about 14 months now using the Launch School curriculum.
ChatGPT Solving AdventOfCode
Hey peeps!

I was getting started on this year's Advent Of Code and seeing all the ruckus around ChatGPT decided to try and solve the problems using it.

It has been so fun that I decided to publish an article on it with some explanations, examples, ...

Hope you find it interesting =]
"I don't understand why people are upset when they get banned from the 40% of all roads, parks, and sidewalks that are owned by GloboCorp. In the old days of private homes, sure it sucked when you got thrown out of a houseparty, but that's just the game. It's both private property, there is no difference."
It'll be interesting to see how it's gamed, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try - you will get things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP1Oq3JLNbc but they can be corrected for later.

One solution would be to switch the tax to a tariff on goods that can be avoided if you prove reduced carbon travel. So if your goods are from China, you get the 100% whatever it is, but if you can show that they travelled from China on whatever is considered acceptable, it drops to 20% or 0% or similar.
There's something about read indicators that always gets under my skin, and I'm not entirely why. Partly it's because it works against the idea that chat messages should be treated asynchronously, but It also feels kind of invasive? Like my device is tell on me for being indecisive or anxious about responding. Maybe I'm just weird but I've alway been curious how others feel about that. The snapchat style "currently viewing" indicator makes that even worse.

That said, the timeline and quick switching ideas are very cool. So many chat apps implement a text search and stop there, this is a clever way to find a specific point in time, or find specific non-text content.
Interesting! Well you are right - those are great things to break!
One thing I'm noticing lately is that these DL libraries and their supporting libraries are getting unwieldy large, and difficult to version-manage.

In my mind, DL is doing little more than performing some inner-products between tensors, so I'm curious why we should have libraries such as libcudnn, libcudart, libcublas, torch, etc. containing gigabytes of executable code. I just checked and I have 2.4GB (!!) of cuda-related libraries on my system, and this doesn't even include torch.

Also, going to a newer minor version of e.g. libcudnn might cause your torch installation to break. Why isn't this backward compatible?
It seems your position that change can never happen - that no one should be an idealist as long as anybody else is not an idealist?
> It might have helped that she had a math degree

May be that’s my own biases speaking (and my degree), but I’ve spent all my professional life in a firm belief that a math degree is way more preferential than a CS degree for an SWE job. Like you should hire a CS graduate only when there is no math graduates willing to take the job (but we never had a shortage of those feeding on the Moscow State).

If forced to rationalize this belief, I would say that CS is just a subset of math, and not that intellectually challenging actually, so a person that has chosen a CS course over a math one has voluntarily agreed to narrow his intellectual perspective in order to possibly get a better pay in the future.

(Hides quickly).

What's going on? What are we doing here? Let me out of this comment field!
Assuming you're speaking of corruption, there is no system of custody that inherently prevents fraud unless it's self-custody. Any middleman, anywhere, as a matter of principle cannot be 100% trusted, ever. We use laws and regulations to give us the veneer of trust, but in reality, those laws and regulations are only ever one morally corrupt individual away from being circumvented. Hence why Bitcoin and self-custody are such important ideas and how this problem ultimately gets solved. The solution being: to financially disincentivize corruption to such an extent that your only option is violence which necessitates financial corruption to exist on a meaningful scale.

There's resistance to that idea because people hate to take responsibility for their actions and would rather defer/delegate it to someone else. It's the same exact problem as obesity, credit card debit, etc. "Well it couldn't possibly be my fault that I'm fat and poor, it's the evil greedy corporations!" Ironically, and at best, it's often the oroborous of government enabling the potential for malfeasance that's coming back to bite people (see: French regulation around nuclear reactor temperatures near wildlife forcing an energy crisis [1]).

If the system (whatever it is) enables people to be lazy or careless, they will be. And of course, they have to deal with the consequences of that behavior, whether they are willing to mentally/emotionally accept it or not.

> You completely changed the comment I responded to, so how can we have a discussion about whether or not your comment was misleading?

I can understand your frustration. I was looking at other comments and felt I wanted to add further reasons why I feel the lack of usability (as they see it) is by design (which makes the UI good, not bad), and not because of laziness on behalf of camera manufacturers. I can see why you'd think I'm being misleading saying that camera UI's are good, also I still fully believe that a Canon/Pana/Fuji UI is substantially easier to navigate than a Sony one. This is only my personal experience though.

> And after you're edit, I'm going to add "condescending" to my description as well.

> As if the only reason anyone would disagree with you is because they are casuals

I don't mean to say the only reason is because they are casual. I meant to point out that because they want computational photography and also hate editing raws, that using a dedicated camera is unlikely going to be fun for them. If you hate two of the most important parts of a photographers workflow to ensure the creative ability to edit a photo exactly the way you want, then yeah, that likely means you're a "casual".

I can see how "bad UI" and "computational photography + editing RAW" was mixed up a bit though. I could have been clearer as to what specifically I was addressing, my apologies.

To clarify on "casuals" though, I don't think being casual is bad. I'm a casual gamer, a casual driver, a casual cook. That isn't a negative either. It's just the truth, I admit I'm not a pro who dedicates the time necessary in those fields.

When a casual person tells a pro "I hate the parts of your work that are necessary to do your job/hobby properly" and then further target their frustration at a UI that might be confusing to them by design (as its meant for a different type of user) seems like something other folks might find interesting. I see it as a very neat case of user targeting and persona analysis, similar to software.

Canon/Nikon/Fuji/Sony are targeting photographers who want a dedicated OS with cutting edge hardware. If the hardware is good, they'll tolerate a stripped down, minimal camera OS for the sake of speed. It's similar to why you don't often see people driving a Formula 1 car on their daily commute.
Looks really good… looking forward to trying it out.
Given their proposed solution, I suspect you're right

With that said, this is definitely a problem even to people on the left.

Universities are now run by administrators for the purposes of securing more funds and less for teaching and research.
The price going up for such forms of shipping is the point.

So if a competitor figures out how to do the shipping cheaper due to it outputting less co2 (like trains running on electricity or just less polluting ships) those should over time win on the marketplace and shift the shipping industry to less pollution options.

edit: And the government can redistribute the carbon taxes to the part of the population this will hit the hardest easily by lowering VAT, income taxes at the lower end of progression or just direct subsidies.

A co-op is quite a different thing to a loose knit group of volunteers. I’d love to see co-ops picking up this sort of contract, but I do think it’s important people get paid for that work, and the contract is assigned to a specific organisation, otherwise you will eventually end up with a bunch of burnt out people keeping national infrastructure running for free.
It subsidizes everyone else's tuition, and is a critical piece of the value proposition for privates schools: access. By subsidizing the the poor-but-outstanding with money from the still-accepted rich-but-dumb, they maintain the opportunity for those two groups to intermingle, granting access to networks that that poorer students would be able to break into otherwise, which the rich also benefit from in the form of having known-competent individuals in their network.

That's the primary reason to go to private school. That's what justifies the 2-4x price gap with public universities. All the niceties (not having to enter into a bi-yearly battle royal for seats in limited space classes, not having to put up with overly impacted class sizes, other little luxuries) are just there to maintain the appearance of prestige. The actual value comes from the admissions department.

Try learning a new language with Anki or something that you have to actually memorize.

I thought my memory was going to shit too but I am pretty sure I basically took 15 years off from even attempting to memorize anything.

4 months of Anki and I feel as sharp as ever. I wouldn't doubt memory is not that much different than sitting on the couch all day and then wondering why you can't run a mile like you use to.

There was the recent article posted on hacker news that had a tablet from Egypt recording people's excuses why they didn't come to work.
