> There is a fundamental epistemological limit to our ability to know how to combine the two. It doesn't mean the world itself has such a division. We just can't cognate how to reconcile the two.

I’m not convinced there’s any indication of a fundamental limit to our cognitive abilities. What if we just don’t know how subjective experience works in the same normal way that we’ve not known how other stuff works until we figured it out?

Money prevents you from being unhappy because of little things like no food, no water, no shelter, poor health, exploitation, exhaustion, social isolation, and so on.

Some people would say that's very far.

My (big5 .ca) bank does this too. The absolute worst.

3:42am, me still up for some reason

Notification: A withdrawal was made

Me: What? At this hour? <clicks>

Bank app: Face ID and/or secret question dance

Bank app: Spinner

Bank app: You don't have any notifications

I've had to train myself to wait 15 minutes before clicking on any withdrawal/deposit notifications.
It’s called a writers room. Get a few songwriters you like in a room and jam together for a few hours. Typically everyone in the room splits the credit even if you were just breathing the air and lending a vibe.

Writers rooms and all the writers credits don’t begin to scratch the surface of ghostwriting, though.

Many popular songs are picked up from ghostwriters who are paid a flat fee and don’t even get a songwriter credit. Many songs

It would be funny if this is part of a PR deflection campaign because of the Bing chat fiasco, and they end up pushing it out before it's ready and it also gets roasted. Cascading failure of management.
I hope they fix issues on macos. It blows up my M1 MacBook Pro’s battery life. Their threads seem to lock the UX under heavy processing, with video/app stuttering and frames being dropped.

Zoom on the other hand no issues whatsoever. Similarly, Slack (which is also electron based, or used to be) runs well too.
I'm really looking forward to trying this out, there have been multiple occasions over the last few years when I went looking for something exactly like this and came up empty.
Thanks. Why is it history sources I must add? I just try to speak out against it whenever I see it. Sadly it's usually the older Indians who insist on it, unfortunately.
Trying to build full-on real applications with hypertext and its macros has never been a good idea in the first place. It keeps surprising me that companies that have all resources to build proper, native, efficient first-class desktop apps, opt for what is effectively a very advanced word processor instead. Some also insist that it's the only way of building desktop apps now.

This world desperately needs a modern native multi-protocol desktop IM client. By "desktop", I mean using fully native controls (appkit/win32/gtk, yes, three separate GUI implementations), taking advantage of multiple windows, and ignoring the existence of touchscreens. I may build one in the future.

If people are feeling deeply lonely in their collaborative work, it sounds to me like it's not working for them. Ditto "where someone comes in and clobbers code you've just committed and then there's merge conflicts and wasted effort trying to understand". Unless you're going to ague those things are good, then no, I don't think I'm conflating anything. I'm taking what people are already saying is bad and saying there are solutions for that.
I love Render, have been using it heavily personally as well as professionally. I like it for fulfilling my demands efficiently. But I sometimes find the name is a pain point, it is really hard to search especially combined with some generic words. It seems fixed now but I remember at some point of time even "render status" wouldn't lead me to the right place.
I wonder what the first non-Indian complaints under this law will look like. Is "blue-collar" a caste that office workers can no longer discriminate against?
This thread would be way, way more interesting with a mention of a single date in the future.
for data science/ML folks, I created a small slack group with 17 ppl who are helping mentor and mock interview each other ..

if anyone is interested in joining, pls fill this out: https://forms.gle/CAbVhBYmc34EeBMM9

we have a notion page to help with introductions/interview scheduling and a slack to chat with each other.
You forgot spotted dick!
Most likely, the mass submissions are from the former while the one-off submissions are from the latter. The first group (most likely) caused them to close.
Interviewing double-blind in a discriminatory system is still going to reproduce existing discriminatory dynamics.

That solution works in situations where performance is individual, the standards are largely agreed-upon and the access to training & opportunities are equally-accessible. That's why it was so effective for orchestras.

Unfortunately, computer science education remains one of the most discriminatory part of our industry, and the decades of discrimination mean people's resumes and post-education training vary already.

And finally, what makes a developer effective varies by team and context, and we don't have any consistent way to judge those things.

Luckily, there are plenty of techniques that can successfully address bias even under those situations. They just tend to be harder to sell to anxious people who want to stay centered in the majority, because they all require admitting that discrimination exists.
Hey this is a minor thing but could you re-render that graph to a higher contrast color scheme than light grey on white? :)

My experience is, an Indian born in India never leaves caste behind. Yes, Jatts pay no importance to caste when hiring, but them & every other caste makes matrimonial connections, social groups, gathering etc only in their caste. Only the third or fourth generation I have seen is kind of out of that shadow.
> The biggest miss is search.

Hey, at least the search finds stuff since a few months. Before that, a search would show exact results, with no way whatsoever to show the context of the result, making it utterly useless. It’s not a great search, but I’m just happy I can find things at all, now.
Most Indians (that I have met) - have not grown up in their thinking. The more they mingle with their own, the more the old ways of thinking get re-inforced.
Art is the privledge of those who make it. Artists come from all walks of life and express their creativity through whatever materials move them. The loss of manual skills to transform materials to create new art to 'teach' your 'learning tool' can only cumulate in stagnation. If 'art from a menu' is your idea of the new culture, then I am sad for you.
This seems like a lot of discussion for a single report from a possibly-disgruntled (but definitely rejected) candidate, about a policy that was denied by multiple Databricks employees in the thread, who clearly said that Databricks has hired a number of people who were laid off recently.

How much does abysmal efficiency matter when there are places in the world with virtually unlimited sunlight? Serious question.
I really wonder how many of Hacker News comments are produced by Chat whatever.

Wouldn't that be an ideal application for ChatGPT etc?
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe I got lucky -- I joined a group ("Let's start a beginners band") and I could see that they had a recent history of meetups. It took only a month or so for the next one, I went, maybe 25 people were there, which is pretty good considering they mostly people don't repeatedly go -- they find some other like-minded people and try to make music happen later.

Don Lincoln is the host of the Fermilab youtube channel. Good communicator.
There's a false choice presented here, about choosing to live in high rise/high density. Even NYC basically peters out to low rises just out of brooklyn!

The overall problem, though, is that these density restrictions cause a nasty spiral. People looking for work are asked to move to one of these cities where their bosses own these wonderful homes. They mostly have to rent. Rent is high. Supply is low, so it's hard to even find a place! Every single service that you might use, also has to pay rent. Not only do you have to put a significant portion of your paycheck to rent, but basically every restaurant has to charge a very heavy amount to this. Every corner store. Parking. Every minor service. Public spaces might barely exist, but forget having community spaces run by individuals, because commercial real estate got super expensive from this same cycle.

It's hard to overstate how real estate pressure makes _everything_ more costly. People have to work to live. If they want a good job, they _have_ to buy into the urban real estate tradeoff. There are ~no good rural jobs. It's pervasive.

If every part of living wasn't so financialised, if it was possible for public spaces to survive, if teachers could actually afford to live close to schools, this is a different story. And some cities manage this better, of course. But at one point decisions around parking minimums, height restrictions, endless ability of localities to object to building development, and other whining from people who would rather have their yard than replace that with a larger public park... it just makes it harder and harder to sustain urban living at all
The story and script are the blueprint. Everyone else can operate in a coordinated fashion off of a solid blueprint. The plumber, electrician, framers, etc. are all important and performed by specialized labor, but it's all within the context of a high level plan.
Ebay Advenced Search - 5 Tips
Look at East Palestine. Those chemicals are chemicals used to make a type of plastic.

PET is made of ethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate. Ethylene glycol in particular is known as a teratogen (a chemical which causes physical deformities).

In addition, there is a big difference in forever chemicals that are now geographically distributed throughout the world, especially the ocean seabeds, vs having it all in one place. And the environmental and health effects of certain microplastics are still being studied but research in mice and rats shows they accumulate in the liver and kidney and induce significant alterations in blood biomarkers for neurotoxins
An opinion article from 2013 is hardly counter evidence.
Yes it is not, plenty of soft cues are signals - today's generation isn't good at identifying them ( a good thing!).

Meat/no-meat is the most common signal, certainly not the only one, surname would be another, language (ethnolect or dialect) is sometimes another.

There are no perfect methods short of asking, some older people and more overtly racists (even they aren't aware) straight up do ask.

Also most racists only really care whether you are their caste or not, it doesn't matter what you actually are, so classification into their group or not is easier than do it precisely.

It's so funny... I've had a list of potential new employers ever since I re-opened my linkedin profile to "semi-open for opportunities" a year ago or so, and over time, every single one of them has basically disqualified itself with horror stories. I'm probably not looking hard enough, as I guess I'm only hearing about the opportunities that are needing to advertise heavily due to being lousy places to work.
From what little I understand of Indian systems the sub-castes are basically just extended family networks and allied families. The entire population of Scotland is less than 6 million, yet according to Wikipedia there are 16 named Scottish clans that begin with the letter A.
Do you mean cathartic? I don't think you really mean to say that you find it tiring to read this
> Sure maybe saying casteism is the root cause is too much, but denying it is also wrong.

I agree with everything you said, but just a note that OP was talking about sex and caste discrimination as separate things, not conflating them as your parent implies.

From OP:

I think that loads of people are fine with apartments because of the price/convenience/location. If you ask a young couple "would you rather pay $1500/month to be in an apartment or $3000/month to be in a SFH", you think everyone is choosing the latter?
These problems don't go away if you ignore them. And your solution of not "importing different cultures" sure sounds like you want an ethnostate...

It's funny how communication is often interpreted exclusively from the speaker's perspective... for communication to occur, someone must be listening. It is half of communication. Even though TFA stresses this, "listen" occurs only once in the comments.

Even when speaking, your listening is crucial to know if you're being understood (like an error message); and to notice the other's perspective (e.g. how they interpret terminology) so as to adjust to it. To persuade you need to hear and understand objections to counter them. To bargain you need to hear what is important to the other, to know what you have to offer in their opinion.

The smartest people I've met listen like a hawk.

This argument sounds appealing because of the sleight of hand in how it uses the term "public". Public sector unions negotiate against varying levels of the state and while that generally translates to negotiating against representatives of the public that isn't actually the same as negotiating against the will of the public directly (unless you think your government representatives are perfectly representing their constituency) nor is it the same as negotiating against the best interests of the public (since public sector employees are tasked with objectives ultimately meant to persue the good of the public so by extension negotiating towards their well-being is also negotiating in favor of their ability to continue serving the public).
Leave Beef Wellingtons out of this!

In almost every instance I see a function in a statically typed language that should return a sum type the developers inevitably collapse that into a single type eg. we're going to return the number of results and -1 is a sentinel value that means something special. This is a fundamental type error. In a dynamic language you tend to not need to embed a concept or value in a domain it doesn't exist. If later I'm adding results together I'm going to get an error when I try to add the Clojure keyword :something-special to a number, while in the static language you may have just folded the special -1 into a sum because you forgot it was unique.

I’m being bitten by this right now. Registered a domain in personal account, want to move to a different cloudflare account and I can’t since that’s completely unsupported. The recommendation is to transfer out to external registrar, wait 60 days, transfer back in.

Can’t even change the name servers, since that’s not configurable with cloudflare.

And I can’t move the domain out of cloudflare so I can change nameservers for 60 days because I just registered the domain…

Support very unhelpful, situation sucks.
People are born in caste. One caste in one geographic area might have better prosperity than sane caste in other. People can leave religion, but in practice, never the caste. There are broad groups of castes, then sub groups, & more sub groups, & then numbers of layers of surnames. Father's cast goes to kids usually, but intercaste marriage usually gets the worse of both castes. Each side thinks the newly wed couple is not their member any more. Having money, power & reputation sometimes covers all the bad things of a caste. A high caste but poor person will face more difficulty than a super rich powerful politician of a lower caste.
I would assume that anywhere you work, the opportunity for discrimination exists independent of who is a manager.

Indeed the article does not mention anything about the donors being chosen with HIV resistance in mind. So there is a good chance of this being a welcome side effect to the cancer treatment but not intentional.
Probably not, in that those are either too small to be worth the cost of metering or not representative of actual direct costs.
Ford patenting mounting a generator in the bed is a perfect example of how incredibly facetiously bullshit patents are. Generators are well over 100 years old. The idea that we can just go patent where we put this classic tech each time we have some place to put it is insane, beyond redemption. Each niche for an invention does not make the invention anew. Yet thats what this fallen demonic horseshit trap would have us believe, would constrain us all by. It's cursed. Fuck this in extreme. Beyond worthless: insulting & actively damaging. This mis-governance should be purged with prejudice.

This is exactly the same sort of nonsense 99% of software patent go by. Re-patenting the same idea but in a new context, again and again. It's unbelievably soulless & fallen, completely beyond comprehension that we'd give these uncountable falsities even a passing nod.

I really look forward to smaller, more efficient electricity generating power-plants. Comboing good electric systems with range extenders is a wonderful first order project & the higher order outcomes of good small power plants is an interesting & useful complement. But as usual we seem intent on making the good incredibly fraught & difficult, as much as the law can.
Thanks for the thoughtful explanation.

I've just been assuming that this kind of product/customer-driven engineering in a business environment can be learned, if it's not already known. And the only questions are whether the org can teach it (with culture, onboarding, consistent messaging) and whether the candidate would be happy with that.

If a candidate came to me with no product/commercial experience (e.g., recent grad, or from a research environment), I'd try to characterize the nature of the work, and see whether I could get an honest discussion with them about how they'd feel about that (and whether they really understood what that means). I'm not wise enough to have figured out tests that will tell me.

And I'd have to hit some team-oriented discussion, too, since that's my biggest concern lately, even more than product-oriented. And it's something a lot of companies seem to do badly (e.g., people focused on their own appearance in sprint tasks or metrics or promotions, rather than the whole of the team's work coming together).
THIS issue in America.
For disclosure, I am not a high caste Indian, and both sides of my family eat meat.

The main issue is that a good chuck of tech folks upvoting and making this a big don't want to understand. They want to use this as an issue to not let Indians get promoted to managerial positions instead of them. It becomes easier now to say "hey, Indians are casteist, don't make them a managers'.

It's similar to how there is always mass confusion around here for the requirements for scouting for local applicants for work visas vs green card applications.

They don't seem to be looking for facts, that's why the discussions are so strange with real experiences downvoted, and some vague notions of high rates of caste discrimination in the US are upvoted.
>still had no part in making the improvement.

Please explain how this "improvement" happened without the "laborers"
A lot of decisions in the modern IT industry seem to be based on so-called "developer experience". It doesn't matter that your binary is hundreds of megabytes, it doesn't matter that an IM client takes up a gigabyte of RAM and 10% of CPU just running in the background — what matters is that developers have a "nice" experience. All these problems stem from that.

Software developers who actually know what they're doing and ignore fashion aren't as exciting to hire, I guess.
This is actually a very interesting point. I wonder what kind of answers we would get if we asked the same questions to humans of different age groups. Which age group begins to realize there is something awkward in the scenario? What would a common adult react in a less common social faux pas?

I mean, even in very high CoL places, one might be spending $2500/month for a 1bd apartment. Even returns on $1m should comfortably cover that cost, without even any drawdown (a poor assumption since you can't take it with you).

Or are we to assume the cost of renting some 5bd McMansion, which nobody needs in retirement?

Maybe it's also including cost of health care? Even most Americans aren't paying for that in retirement.

> The answer is somewhere between $3 million and $5 million, according to the 553 investors worldwide who shared their views in the latest MLIV Pulse survey. About a third of investors pegged it at $3 million, and roughly another third at $5 million.
