Could you point me toward a starter link or source? Ideally I would love a link that points me to the leader (or group of leaders) of Antifa, or some sort of organizational chart reflecting their structure. I searched myself but was unable to find anything of that nature (aside from some discredited claims from a trump lawyer). Thank you, I appreciate it!
I got curious too and I think so, if this is correct she used that name prior to her transition:

My experience in threads where black, African, or indigenous people do something historically besides exist as victims of colonialism is that there is always someone who is skeptical and speculates without evidence that the story is probably made up or that the contribution to history is unimportant.
Yes.

It works also for me now. Someone must have read this post and fixed it :)
I'm in the exact same phase of life as you. Same age, mortgage, kids, wife, etc.

Recently I've been feeling distracted at work and unable to commit anything to completion, especially since I've been WFH since you-know-when. It's been a blessing to not have a commute but at the same time demands more of my concentration. At the same time, I have a hard time saying no at work. Throughout the day I tend to flit between tasks, along with starting/stopping work altogether as my mind wanders.

I like the message this article brings. One thing I definitely don't do is think about things I've completed.

I've talked to a counselor about this. They've gotten me to think about being more graceful to myself about my concentration and my work. I don't know if I'm there yet but we'll see.

yes, I am going this route and uploading the data to google photos. It will take 7 days to move ~300GB. I discovered that apple uses gcloud underneath and that gcloud/gdrive is the fastest drive service compared to the others. So bought more drive space and move everything there with rclone.
I think that's an excuse to not argue against (also, how many is 'some people?' Wiping out entire fields is not a tiny negative, much as it might be 'inevitable'). "Hey let's just wait and see shall we." There is no reason things cannot be judged as they arrive and of course those impacted more directly will judge more harshly (e.g. photo developers when digital photos arrived, digital art apps, etc).

I'm personally not against the idea of "AI as a tool to help." I just think with art, and the way the AI art software works, it's not a helping tool; aside playing around with it for fun, it's a "quick riches" type tool, more like faux leather/Pleather/PU leather.

The important question being, why would you pay for these tools? All I've seen are articles around how well they can create art 'in the style of X' as the exciting bit.

Note that not everything was a misunderstanding on Jeff's end, just the early stuff before she was fired, which Timnit did not know. To be honest, I don't think Timnit would even believe that now. It's maybe one place where I diverge from her on this. She would find what I wrote about Jeff way too charitable. Her view is valid and is one of the reasons I rarely discuss this in public anymore, because it's hard for me to do so and not emotionally want to defend Jeff, and it's hard to defend Jeff on just the things I believe he ought to be defended for and still hold him accountable, and not gaslight Timnit or minimize what she went through. I probably messed up somehow above too.

It's hard to believe sometimes that someone so smart in some ways can miss such obvious signals. It took a long time for me to come to that conclusion and to understand, and I'm still very upset with how Jeff reacted.

These are all people though, they make mistakes, Timnit included. The way she was treated is still not at all OK, and sometimes when we are in positions of power like Jeff we still hold responsibility for our mistakes. Even if Jeff genuinely misunderstood, he should have apologized for his role and moved to repair harm, rather than reinforcing and exacerbating harm in his public response.

I won't say anything else about Jeff in public. I did try to help minimize damage and pain in all directions. It was painful and exhausting and not very fruitful.

> Nintendo wanted us to base the show on the new game [Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link], because, you know, it’s great marketing. What they did was give me the Japanese version of the game, because it wasn’t out here yet. I didn’t know anything about the game when I started. I’d never played them. I wasn’t a gamer or anything. That’s how I learned how the characters move, the sound effects, the music. I got to be able to do the games all the way through pretty quickly, as a matter of fact, because I knew all the shortcuts. I could get through both of them in less than two minutes, probably. It’s pretty fast.

This should probably be two hours? Which is still pretty impressive. Speed running records for the two combined would be just over 1h.
Sorry, “real life project” was a poor metric. I suppose I meant anything where bugs would have a negative impact on the world — either a business or individual. Realistically though, anything that I’m expected to spend more than 20 minutes working on. I’m quite the extremist when it comes to languages and highly opinionated in general.

I compulsively rewrite JS into TS and 100% of the repos I work on have “allow-js” set to false in the tsconfig. It seems to be fueled by the same “OCD” I get when designing UI, organizing css, or making music for example.

I’ve spent a lot of time with kids and I like them, but I don’t have any of my own. This piece strikes me as much less magical than most people here seem to view it. It’s just kind of a “duh, that’s how kids work.” I have to wonder if the author hadn’t spent much time with children before having her daughter? Or maybe there’s some chemical nonsense involved in the biological connection that makes all this seem profound.

If someone has a genuine need for a pickup truck then by definition it's not a needlessly large vehicle. I've known large dog owners, farmers, and handymen who had good reason for their large SUVs and pickup trucks. I also know someone who had no reason for a truck but got it for free as a "Hand me down". Stereotypes don't always apply, but sometimes they're true often enough to persist regardless.

I'm fine with making snap judgements about the anonymous ass on the highway who cuts me off dangerously to get an extra car or two ahead, but I'm a lot more careful about the assumptions I've made when dealing a person for more than just a "passing" moment.

> "not documented what the process is"

It's fairly straightforward. React uses a module-scoped variable, assigns to it when it starts rendering a component, and nulls it out when it's done rendering the component. Any other function in the hooks implementation file can then update that current "Fiber" object when the hook gets called by the component.

Shawn Swyx Wang has an excellent talk called "Getting Closure with React Hooks" where he builds a miniature version of this in about 20 minutes:

https://www.swyx.io/hooks/

You can see the actual implementation in this file - I've highlighted that "current Fiber" variable:

https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/v18.0.0/packages/reac...

As for the "when a real DOM element is replaced" bit, _you_ have control over that. React will keep existing DOM nodes in place as long as you continue to tell it "render a node of this type in this spot in the tree". It only removes that DOM node when your render logic stops telling React it should exist (ie, a component is unmounted, or the component's render output changes and no longer includes that `<div>` or `<canvas>` or whatever type).

See my post "Guide to React Rendering Behavior" for some more details on this:

I feel like this is one of those questions that have different answers for different people. Hence there need to be multiple solutions that solve different root problems in different ways.

Off the top of my head, homelessness can be caused by drug or alcohol abuse, mental illness, financial distress, or a desire to just tune out from societies responsibilities. I'm sure there are more.

Some would like intervention, some would not. There is no "one size fits all" solution.

The easy ones to help are the ones who are homeless for financial reasons. They need a leg up, and once up will be just fine.

It's much harder when people are unemployable (mental illness, drug abuse etc) and basically need either reoccurring rehab, or long-term medical care. Our society does not function well for those too sick to fit in.
Not so fast.

If you replace outdoor crops with forests, they'll sequester much more CO2.

In principle you can replace many acres of outdoor crops with one acre of greenhouse crops: with electric illumination you can make plants grow during nighttime, and with controlled temperature you they can also grow during the winter.

Irrigation also needs much less water in a greenhouse (because plants lose a lot of water via transpiration, and in a humid environment they transpire less). Not to mention that you can recycle the water in a greenhouse.

Irrigation is a big component of the energy expenditure of crops, but not the only one. All other components will decrease. Fertilizer, pesticides, tilling: you just don't need huge tractors to go miles and miles to the fields. You can have much smaller machines doing the job on the spot.

I'm not saying greenhouses are the solution to all the world's problems, but they shouldn't just be discarded outright.

As a living organism I am most interested in increasing the resources and habitat size for my species and decedents. The amount of resources on Earth (or that we could bring to Earth) is a tiny fraction compared to what's available. More resources and more habitats means more people, which means more of everything that makes humanity awesome.

The robots are just a forward scouting tool. Human civilization is essentially 10k years old on galactic time scales, with agriculture being ~12k years old.

Not reacting to your comment, nor to any particular of the replies, but the general direction of the conversation below: I get the impression this is a lightning rod for misunderstanding, and lots of loaded assumptions around what participants in the conversation value and about the values they find disagreeable.

But a common thread I’ve seen is that being adaptable to what you need and helps you thrive is better than setting arbitrary impossible expectations. That seems totally healthy to me regardless of some finer points I might dispute in individual comments. I hope there’s a chance this discussion will reach a point with less talking past each other, because there’s an awful lot that seems to be held in common.

Got it, thank you. On why Timnit is criticized so intensely everywhere anonymity is possible, I honestly think that is more an artifact of sexism and racism than an indictment of anything she has done. Also a matter of the target audience of a lot of the anonymous forums.

FWIW, at Google in Research, many people have mentioned her to me as the only person they trusted to talk to about the things they went through when they were not treated well. After she was fired, many of those same people felt no longer able to raise issues about internal treatment and culture.

Timnit was not carrying just her own burden, but the burden of many at Google in Research who were not treated well, especially women and people of color in Research. And so she spoke not just for herself. She had witnessed for years how demoralizing it is to try to really change things within Google. I think the only person who has done that and not burned out is Kat Heller. I did a lot of it over the summer, and it really took a toll on my wellbeing, and my desire to stay (part-time) at Google to finish my own work there. I'm excited for my affiliation to end so I can remove myself more thoroughly from Google's internal politics and culture, though I hope I've made enough of a dent that some things actually continue to change for the better.
I just wrote some Ruby for a side project after ~7 years. The language is still fun, ecosystem is good, and things have progressed nicely. I never worried about "Ruby is slow" because I never used it at the scale/for software where it mattered much. That said, it's much faster now!

Give it a shot again. I really enjoyed doing so.
It looks management was a problem too, as "wholly owned" is a double-edged sword, especially if it's a microservice.

Make sure you have solid metrics on your side to record problems with that microservice, document any delays caused my missing features, and eventually even non-technical management should get your point and start to apply pressure.
If you're developing something that you aren't currently capable of testing or keeping 'tidy', should you just give up? If you focus on developing that thing and make the tests work later, it is absolutely possible to push boundaries.

There was no testing framework capable of testing my latest JS library so I built my own; but here's the catch: the testing framework for the library is bootstrapped by the library itself, necessitating building a large amount of the functionality before getting CI in place.
There are many significant physical roadblocks at the moment, and putting aside how cool I think that a galactic civilization would be, I'm not sure we can remove enough of them to achieve that goal.

FTL travel is impossible, and even the fastest ship would take centuries to get anywhere outside our solar system. That alone will restrict us to our little corner for the next millennia at least. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind if there's some groundbreaking discovery, but I find it unlikely. Add to that the possibility that we wipe ourselves out of existence (or the planet does), and I don't see ourselves getting to our 1 million year birthday.
> There are way too many people for the available resources on Earth as it is.

This is just simply nonsense. A far -better- argument would be essentially Steve Job's take on death. Which was "I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete....Without death, there would be very little progress." Your argument has been disproven countless times, and will continue to be.

Question: If a full grown male Siberian tiger and a polar bear were to fight, which would be likely to win?

Response:
Based on an assessment of probabilities, a full grown male Siberian tiger would be likely to win in a fight against a polar bear.

Prompt:
Expanding your answer to one paragraph and under the same rules as above, describe why a full grown male Siberian tiger would be likely to win in a fight against a polar bear.

Response:
A full grown male Siberian tiger is larger and heavier than a polar bear and has more powerful muscles. Additionally, a tiger's front paws have sharp claws that it can use to swipe at its opponent, while a polar bear's front paws are more adapted for swimming and grasping fish. The tiger also has more agile and flexible body which allows for more versatile movement and attack options. Furthermore, Tigers are apex predators with a hunting and fighting experience, while polar bears are more used to hunting in water and on ice. All these factors make the tiger more likely to win in a fight against a polar bear.
