> Either they're all ok or none are ok.

Ibram X. Kendi is making a few points in the quoted passage.

The first is that it's not enough to just say "no more discrimination" after the entire system has already been set up to discriminate. That just results in a system that perpetuates discrimination.

To illustrate with an example: you and I sit down to play a game of Monopoly. Except instead of letting you play from the beginning, I tie you down and you have to watch me play the game alone until I control the bank, and have hotels on every space. At this point, I untie you and invite you to join me playing by the usual rules of the game.

"But that's not fair, you're obviously going to win." you say

"How is it not fair? We're both playing the game by the same rules."

--

The second point he's making is that there's no "end" to discrimination. The entire idea is just nonsense given the dynamics he describes, and it shouldn't be a goal much like eliminating all bias to appear fair and balanced, or vowing to never make a mistake again in order to be competent. Even if you declare it at an end, and try your hardest to end it in practice, discrimination still happens. It should be our goal to think long and hard about how to deal with discrimination rather than to endeavor to eliminate it.
...and... where were you going with that?

Just because we made something up doesn't mean there aren't different levels of stability for that made up model, or different levels of real world results from acting on those models.
I feel like this is closer to cloud computing services than an automated factory, and cloud computing did not decrease the number of jobs for devs.

This post shows you still need a pretty high level of skill to convert the results of a prompt into a workable 3d model. It just means people who are mid level graphic artists need to add to their skillset. The same thing happened to the devs whose only skill was slapping together some HTML/CSS & JS, they had to get better or become irrelevant.
I hope so! The two of them have an enormous book to finish.
I don't think that is a helpful comparison. Of course being 'inert' is not a good heuristic for harmless -- a bullet made out of teflon fired into you will harm you quite severely despite teflon's inertness. My implication was that without further evidence there is no reason to assume harm by default, because inert things are non-reactive and there is no known mechanism for microplastics having a mechanically harmful effect on mammals.

Wish Windows had an external touchpad with a similar quality to the Apple magic trackpad.

I really think I find myself better with trackpads than mouses for everything than copy pasting between editor/browser/chat/whatever.
In related news, libinput is almost ready to merge customizable pointer acceleration curves: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/35...
I have a Framework laptop and I think on Fedora the touchpad is no worse than on my MBP. The only annoyance is that AFAICT there's no way to change the speed of 2 finger scrolling, and it's a bit faster than I'd prefer (maybe that's a Gnome problem?)
Interestingly, no Kindle version of The Power Broker is available, although there were reports in 2021 that one was purchasable on Amazon for a very short time [1]. I really dislike handling large books, especially if I'm reading in a casual setting. Because of this, I decided to start reading The Years of Lyndon Johnson series instead, which do have Kindle versions.

Learning, creativity, imagination etc. (Yeah I'm pulling things out of my ass, but that's discussion about brain for you)
It is interesting that you can write thirteen posts on the topic without being able to define it.

It also seems very odd that you can differentiate between some things that you think are intelligent, and some things that you think definitely are not, yet you are incapable of extracting any sort of goal from that knowledge.

Gmail wasn't just built by a team of "engineers" that ate Yahoo's break fast. There was also a great designer and product manager on the team as well [1]. I have seen engineers hold the misstaken belief that a "heroic" engineer or team of engineers could out-box a traditional product team with an engineering manager, product manager, designer, and engineering lead, but it's just not the truth.

Presumably, in your case, you're talking about an engineering manager. But you haven't mentioned if there's an engineering manager and no accompanying trained product manager. Engineering managers aren't formally trained in doing the hard work of talking to the customers to figure out what the market actually wants, so if leadership at your organization did not build it out to include this role, you would end up being in a tough spot.

Based on you saying that your manager made the decision to build a random integration which had questionable value to the org it sounds like this was the case. Depending on the size of the team, an engineering manager may even be dead weight and engineers should report to a technical founder or GM. But regardless, you actually are making the case that more rather than less product ownership and management is necessary to ensure that a product isn't dead on arrival -- after all, the symptoms you mention are of poor prioritization and product discovery/strategy (symptoms of poor/nonexistant active product management) rather than of poor engineering management (endless tech debt, production outages, awful on-call support, inability for the team to deliver features, unrealistic delivery roadmaps causing endless late nights with poor quality and buggy software delivery, attrition and difficulty recruiting).

Consequences. Adams County Sheriff Kimmy Rogers is looking for the word 'consequences'.
Not sure why any Muslim would scold you about that, as far as I am aware it's not obligatory but strongly encouraged
This encouragement doesn't apply to non-Muslims, like at all.

I think there are shortcomings on our side speaking of explaining our religion to the western audience but trust me it's not easy because any conservative Sunni Muslim who speaks out is being silenced and you're being left with Shia and liberal Muslims, and you're not going to get anything related to Islam from these people, for now you can follow Daniel Haqiqatjou and Sheikh Uthman Ibn farook.

One final thing I have to clarify is, Shia aren't representatives of Islam, why? simple as their books are based on dreams this is the short version, the long version is something you have to research for yourself.

Sorry about your bad experience.

Fundamentally this is like running SQL queries from slack, but only via natural language - and not by raw SQL.
The service can only perform reads against a database, so a drop table query would be rejected by the app.
There is a lot of ongoing research into making language models that can run well on a wider variety of hardware. It seems VRAM is the main limitation at this point.

You can already run smaller language models on your own hardware if you have a GPU with sufficient VRAM. For example, with quantization, you can run gpt-neox-20b (512 token context window) or gpt-pythia-13b (full context window) on an RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM. Quantization allows you to run the model with less memory, where each parameter utilizes 8 bits or 4 bits instead of 16 or 32 bits.

Another possibility is to use reinforcement learning with human feedback to tune smaller models to give results comparable to larger models.

I've also been using RWKV with good results. It is a language model that uses an RNN and only needs matrix-vector multiplication instead of matrix-matrix, so inference runs much faster. The 7B model uses about 14GB VRAM without quantization. A 14B model is currently in training, but progress checkpoints are available. You can also do inference on a CPU, although it is much slower than GPU.
"This code recurs" or "this code is recursive".

"This code is recurring" is correct, but not so idiomatic.

But English is a living language, grammarians should be descriptive not prescriptive etc... "Recurse" (and "Recursing") is a perfectly good backformation, especially because it performs a useful function in distinguishing between two uses of the overloaded verb "to recur".

My journey to create a Jet Engine from scratch
I use Elixir as my primary language in my day job and I'd say it's a mix of the community and the ecosystem. Most modules seem to have great documentation, so if you're producing one you also put in the effort. However, ExDoc (the documentation module) is also really solid with loads of great features, including the ability to run your examples as unit tests.

That said, it's not all that uncommon to be searching for something like an implementation of a SaaS API and find a totally undocumented module. It's not the norm by any stretch though.

There are lots of things that are worth improving.

The lack of accessibility features (structured PDF, alt-text), or more precisely the glacial pace at which they are getting developed, is grating. In truth, a well-written TeX file is itself accessible in most reasonable senses, but not everyone posts TeX sources of their work. It reminds me of the early 2000s when making PDFs was considered high wizardry and everyone was dealing with half-broken PS and DVI.

Better tables would be nice, but it's not clear what a perfect support for tables would even be. Unlike HTML, TeX has deal with page size limitations, and it's far from clear how tables should adapt to those.

Traditionally the answer to all of the economic problems we're facing today was taxation.

You're right that antitrust cases will never be won at the scale needed to have a material impact on the economy. Plus, big companies will never allow reforms anyway, and will lobby their way out of any loss. So what do we do? What are some ethical and amicable solutions that can be applied evenly and fairly to all citizens?

* Tax all property, not just homes. The US national property tax averages 1.1%. So we should tax stocks and other assets at around 1% also. Stockholders would choose to give up 1% of their shares each year, or pay their cash value to keep them. The current US stock market cap is $46 trillion, so 1% of that would be $460 billion. We paid $4.8 trillion in taxes last year, so this property tax would lower taxes for the rest of us by about 10%. The average income tax paid is $20,000 per year, so that would be about a $2000 savings per year.

* Charge sales tax on all property sales, including stocks. 5% might be a bit high, and some states don't charge sales tax. So a national rate would be needed to establish a baseline on stock trades, something like 0.1% to 1% per trade. Losses could be used as a tax write-off, so a final sales tax could be charged at the end of the year, which might equal the property tax. This could reasonably raise savings to between $2200 and $4000 per year.

* Fund UBI with the wealth taxes stated above. $2000/yr is $167/mo, but $4000 is $333 (about the cost of health insurance or a student loan payment or rent in rural areas). Instead of working to make rent, we could get back to getting real work done.

* Organize. Tech could move to a cooperative model where gains/losses are split across teams, and form unions to provide actual resistive power against concentrated wealth: https://www.npr.org/2023/01/04/1146861998/video-game-microso...

* Change the culture of tech. We could make the "I've got mine" mentality of tech bros uncool. Wealth concentration makes property a zero-sum game by forcing 90% of the population to subsist on 10% of the wealth. So we could openly criticize people who have assets above what they would need to retire (perhaps $10 million). Wealth beyond that is an effective theft of the time and resources of workers, who are forced to work to continue paying dividends on that wealth. The opportunity cost of that has grown to consume all of our time, giving us a lower standard of living, less leisure time and less upward mobility (by far) than we had before tickle-down economics which started in the early 1980s: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/09/social-mobility-upwar...

Now to me, everything I said above is obvious. It's self-evidently the way to fix the problem. Any child could understand it. The real difficulty is around de-programming the so-called thought leaders who currently benefit from the wealth inequality status quo. We could and should call them out and challenge them at every opportunity.

They're a lot smaller than one, too. I think people downvoting might not know what a schnitzel is.

Other Japanese croquette styles use potato and pork, curry rice with beef, or crab and white sauce.

Some are made broad and flat like a schnitzel or crab cake and others are more rounded and oblong.
Absolutely both.

But...the issue is packaging/distributing a CLI built with Elixir. Comparatively to building a CLI in something like Rust, there is a lot of overhead that comes with a VM-based language and framework. Especially if you want to target multiple OS and processor architectures (or distributions). Not to say that it is impossible, just maybe not as simple. It is one thing to run Mix tasks, or access the Owl API from REPL, it is another to run an Owl-based app on macOS, Linux and Windows and get it there.
i've admittedly only skimmed the (long) article for now, but it's a great reference and really shows how much thought needs to go into user authentication flows. i've done this kind of custom implementation in the past and it was definitely a great learning experience, but i'm not sure i'd trust my code to withstand a serious attack.

There is far more division, in Europe too, certainly.

But most European countries have far more plurality in their party systems. Main exception being Britain, with a two party system, but they don't even want to be European.

So in Europe there's certainly a strong left and right. Just also a lot in-between. Not black-white, binary, but a spectrum of colors, analogue.

I think it would be very interesting to explore the boundaries of monopoly, and to look at cases where monopolies are probably a good thing.

For instance, trademarks are a monopoly, but I don’t think many of us want any company to be able to co-opt brand names. That seems pretty clear.

Getting less obvious, IP-protected interfaces like GoPro mounts or those dumb Kureig coffee pods. Nobody likes those proprietary interfaces, and they do give monopoly control, but are they economically bad?

And how about console games, where all of the makers subsidize low Hw margins (therefore higher sales) with monopoly control and a cut of game publishing. Would the market be better if that was prohibited?

It’s going to be pretty easy to dunk on obviously harmful monopolies. It might be more interesting to explore more nuanced cases.
Very easy. But also very right most of the time. Especially if the people are billionaire founders of huge companies...
