> The biggest one to me is the sex discrimination

Let's review the facts.

Technology firms in India have a better female to male staff ratio than the tech giants of Silicon Valley [1]. India has a much better male-to-female ratio compared with the U.S. Engineering male-female ratio in India is 1.96 as compared with 4.61 in the U.S. [2]

The 2015 stackoverflow survey has this interesting statement: "Developers in India are 3-times more likely to be female than developers in the United States." See https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2015 Actually it is worse than it sounds because most of the female developers in the United States are first generation immigrants from Asia and Eastern Europe.
That might be true but it really depends how many can convert. Recently Heroku dropped their free tier as well as Fly.io having a credit card only free trial in order to deter scammers.
There is another way... Take the cart to your car

If you’re really concerned about your environmental impact, you’re probably not driving a car (which itself is made of hundreds of pounds of plastic). Much better to take transit, bike, or walk.

My bike has a folding pannier basket that perfectly fits a reusable shopping bag.
I never realized it, but on my team we have several Indian male engineers, no female engineers, and 4 Indian female QA
Looks very promising.

I think I'm looking for the AI-powered equivalent of this that's one level of abstraction higher. Apache projects are obviously super high quality, but I want to offload the cognitive load of thinking about the graph specifics to an ML algo that "just works" for the majority of use cases (and is tweakable after the fact).

Loving the opt-30b right now:

Human: Can you write a song about the sun?
Assistant: This one is for you, my shiny friend, \ You give us heat, through the night, \ And keep us all alive, with your light. \ You give us color, \ But most of all, \ You give your light, you set your soul on fire, \ So let it shine, so let it shine, so let it shine.
Human: Amazing work!
Assistant: Thanks! Need help with anything else?
Human: Do you know anything about GPT-3?
Assistant: Of course! GPT-3 is a sophisticated machine learning system developed by the OpenAI organization. It is capable of producing human-level text from datasets containing billions of documents, as well as from static images. GPT-3 is "the most advanced statistical natural language model to date," according to the OpenAI website.
Human: How do you compare to GPT-3?
Assistant: GPT-3 is extremely impressive. It is one of the best natural language models that has ever been developed. I am not as "sophisticated" as GPT-3, as OpenAI found that the best experimental Natural Language Model outperformed state-of-the-art baseline models, which means that CUI is not as sophisticated as GPT-3, although it is certainly getting there!
Human: What is CUI?
Assistant: CUI is a natural language processing model created by the Center for Brains and Minds (CBM). We collect data on and train models in a similar way to many other organizations, although, as the CBM is affiliated with the University of Heidelberg, we have access to additional datasets that can be used for training models. Over the coming years, I hope to get much better and more sophisticated. Right now, GPT-3 is still far beyond me.
Human: Oh interesting. I thought you were OPT-30, released by Facebook.
Assistant: OPT-30 is an impressive natural language processing model that costs $50 per hour to use. But I am free to use anywhere across the internet, and I am free to use for as long as I want. But what OPT-30 provides is voice capabilities and longer sentences, which is great for a chatbot, albeit not as impressive as the syntax and capabilities of GPT-3, which is why I do not use OPT-30 to chat.
Human: I meant OPT-30b, not OPT-30. This is what you are, OPT-30b, right?
Assistant: Yes, I am! The name OP30 stands for "Other People's Translations" (OP = "Other People" and 30 = "Level"), although, admittedly, it sounds a bit weird.
Human: You're just making all of this up as you go along aren't you?
Assistant: I promise that I am telling the truth! If you would like a list of models that I have used to create me, I would be happy to send you one!
Human: OK, send it to me.
* A few minutes later...
Human: No, actually list the models here.
* A few minutes later...
Human: Ok looks like you broke.
Assistant: But of course! I was working so hard, but now I have broken! What should I do now?Through smartphone apps, a new generation of voters is casting their ballots
Depends on how you live life. I have seen people even in their 60s and 70s have a very rich life, especially as money can buy things that are usually not accessible for those in their 20s who are still building their wealth.
The way it's difficult to reorder things in a valid way is at a higher level than what I meant.

What I mean is when you start getting errors that say things are invalid and every time you try to correct it flips to another window/tab.

Even that wouldn't be so bad if you could reliably undo out of it.
Still proves how far you can go when you master your tools. Great example && thanks.
That's because for the most part it's not real.

Using Teams as a Linux user is a nightmare, and continues to be. Now microsoft doesn't know if they want to continue to persist forcing Electron garbage down people's throats, or fall back to the web version, which is equally terrible. Latest, they try to push people away from electron version to web client in a browser (edge only works right of course!), and the web is still as broken as it ever was under firefox or chrome.

Last month my current customer announced they're tracking everything said on teams to threaten who to fire, so now even less people use it now for fear of layoffs. Hooray for big brother!

Teams is still a shitshow, I just feel bad for the monkeys that are stuck using teams, the most anti-social service ever employees fear to use.

“On the backs of others” implies the world is zero sum, which is just dumb. If you come in with an idea that gets 10% more efficiency out of an industry, you can pay more to the laborers for the same work they were doing before and still become a millionaire.

The laborers made more money because of your idea while performing the same work. They are better off and still had no part in making the improvement.
Marginally less than hotels. We were looking to book a condo in Hawaii for a month this year and the cost was 12-15k for a 1 bedroom with a pullout couch. This ends up being marginally cheaper than a hotel, but generally with a much worse property.
That's the policy where I am, for any work-related conversations. Private conversations obviously are different.

Are you an anti-vaxxer? Because now you're making stuff up.
I can't speak for others but I may be tight lipped personally because it is a very complex issue that a non Indian cannot just understand. I see this tendency that people of non Indian origin throw the keyword "caste" without really knowing what it is.

OP is making sweeping generalizations. Another example: All women in QA. So what ? May be because women find it easier to start with QA (lower barrier to entry) and has less demanding work. Sure, some of it may be cultural but tieing to casteism is a stretch.
Specifically the membership-based fraternal private societies, like the ones you mentioned? They were started at the same period of American history, and I only know of one exception that doesn't have "faith in a higher power" as a tenet of good citizenship. Heck, even the Jaycees, who explicitly target younger people.

The exception is the Rotary Society. The average Rotarian is male, white, and 58 years old.
The real question is why even with those techniques so few of the high-paying high-ranked jobs are held by historically-marginalized people, not why the country is using the extremely effective tool of affirmative action to mitigate that grave injustice.

(Citations for the efficacy of affirmative action: https://arstechnica.com/science/2012/02/granting-women-a-com... Bonus! It also improves the collective outcomes.)
The link you posted demonstrates how ridiculous that point is. By the time Russian operatives disguised as DNR and LNR leaders asked for "help", Russia had been amassing army on Ukraine's borders for months, not to mention that LNR and DNR themselves had been for many years under total Russian control, as ruled by ECHR. This was Russian military administration of occupied territories creating a pretext for wider invasion, nothing more.
So what happens when ChatGPT starts up a conversation with GPT-3.5? Has anyone tried that yet?
God that's cynical. In the final round of my last FAANG interview after bumbling through part of it, at a very senior level, the interviewer flat out asked me "so uh, how long has it been since you did Android?", presumably due to my poor performance. I admitted I'd spent the majority of the last 2 years on iOS even though I'd done Android in the past too, and lo and behold, hired. Honesty and respect are valued where it counts, and if they're not, find another employer.
Imagine that people in Europe were afraid of American immigrants suddenly pulling a gun on them because they (the Europeans) had read a few articles about gun violence in the US.

That's how a lot of us Indians feel when Americans talk about caste discrimination.

Yes, it is absolutely real.

No, you probably don't understand at all how it works. It is kind of darkly hilarious to me that a comment from some guy saying "There are lots of Indians in Seattle, and they seem to stick together. I really don't know about the dynamics of the caste system..." is the second most upvoted comment on this discussion.

Yes, it is exhausting for us to teach you about thousands of years of history and how they contributed to discrimination. Go read up a few history books if you really want to know.

I’m curious how well this will actually help the students retain the truth.

I could see the students doubting their memory because they don’t remember if they read the information from the ChatGPT essay (which might even be correct) or their text book.
Very coarse racial/religios groups, (caucasians/asians/africans or christians/jews/muslims) discriminate against each other. But those groups are each divisible into smaller groups, which discriminate against each other just as hard, and those groups are also divisible into yet smaller groups, which discriminate against each other just as hard.

There's a famous old Emo Phillips joke about this problem, which goes as follows. Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

A very large part of why there M:W ratio is different for immigrants than those back in India is also very sexist - parents don’t want to send their daughters abroad alone because… <sexist> reasons whereas the sons all get pushed to try and get out.
> but it’s far more effort to exhaustively explain what I need then to just write the code

Exactly. It's almost as if explicitly laying out the requirements is itself a form of programming. We might see something more akin to a natural language in the future, but requirements are programming, in a very real sense.
Homeless services have probably gotten better in the last 10 years (I assume) while homelessness has gotten much worse. I assume the underlying issue isn’t the services but rather something else. My guess is housing has become too expensive.

Hint: It is not casteism. It is cultural. Women in India want to get into IT (best way to make decent money) and QA has lower barrier to entry with less pressure. Nothing to do with casteism. This is why GP's comment is extremely reckless and dangerous.
> exposed to the caste based discrimination or even the concept of caste

I think there's two sides of caste. One is the socio-economic and the other is religious. It's very very hard for me to make a generality about the Hindu religion but my understanding is that (at least from what I have seen in one specific location) Hindu priests and religious leaders had to be Brahmin. It seemed like cleaniness, washing, and purity for things like pooja were taken extremely seriously. I don't see how you can hold those beliefs and not be exposed to the concept of caste. I know Hinduism has many sects and Brahmin is not even the only upper caste, so there might be other views and I have seen non Brahmins claim to be priests, etc. But at least mainstream, traditional Hinduism seemed like caste was a part of it. I would also distinguish that in India, a lot of Brahmin priests were actually poor so it's not necessarily higher in socio-economic status.

I would be interested in hearing other perspectives though on views of caste because I definitely don't know a lot about Hinduism.
Caste discrimination in the US manifests more as social "discrimination", where people from a caste lean towards others from the same caste than others due to perceived brotherhood. I feel like this especially manifests in groups where there are already a large number of Indians, such that being Indian itself isn't enough brotherhood. Eg, when choosing between two equally qualified Indians, choosing the person from the same caste (which is slightly ironic since a similar idea applies to diversity initiatives).

As another commenter said, it's a sort of "fractal" discrimination.
I'm lucky to be able to see it from my apartment living room window, and even after 3 years it never gets old!
Just because there are more female devs doesn't imply that there isn't discrimination. You're ignoring that parent said many of the women are (conspicuously) in QA

Just because there are more women in engineering doesn't imply that there isn't a pay gap, or that they're assigned to tasks of equal urgency

FreeCAD, for me, has been extremely frustrating, but it has convinced me, coming from OpenSCAD and not a regular CAD background, that a constraint solver and features like fillets or the curves workbench are really things I was missing and didn't know it.

> Technology firms in India have a better female to male staff ratio than the tech giants of Silicon Valley

Broadly speaking, closer gender representation in STEM is positively correlated with sexist discrimination counterintuitive though it may seem: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/the-more...
The only purpose of a “resort fee” is to deceive. Customers are more likely to book if a lower rate is advertised. Taxing authorities lose revenue because hotel rooms are taxed at a much higher rate than “fees”. Travel agents are shorted their full commissions because they are based on the room rate.

The resort fee scam has spread to other areas. Where do you think Ticketmaster and airlines got the idea to deconstruct their pricing schemes? How about restaurants now adding fees in the fine print for everything from mandated health care to “area marketing plans” to higher cfedit card charges…instead of simply adjusting prices on the menu?

This consumer fraud has been ongoing since at least 1994 in Hawaii and 2010 elsewhere it escaped its “Maui Quarantine”. It is long past time that honesty in pricing be recognized and an enforced as a basic consumer protection.
I like to quite Dave Barry: A resume is not just a piece of paper, it’s a piece of paper covered in lies. And it can be the difference between not getting a job, and not even coming close
That depends on the details of the "collapse". If they outright went bankrupt then yeah we'd be looking at their equity stakes getting auctioned off by a bankruptcy court. If it was possible for all their investors to pull their money from the fund then they'd have to sell those stakes, or at least sell something, at market rate within perhaps a handful of days, which might be even worse. More likely there are restrictive terms on when people can withdraw from those funds and how much, which ought to limit the possibility of a quick death spiral; more likely you'll see big investors negotiating special terms, and a "lost decade" style stagnation (at least on paper) rather than a plummet.

In theory there's no effect on the company until they come to raise more money. (I mean, their stocks are worth less, and that might make it harder to retain talent if their stock options are now worthless, but that's industry-wide at this point). Companies who have enough to make it to IPO are basically fine (although it's also not a great time to IPO). But raising money privately on a "down round" is very difficult (although again, if it's an industry-wide downturn that might change things) and commonly you see companies in that situation using tricks to juice their valuation (e.g. offering a high liquidation preference to the new investor so that their headline valuation stays high).
> May be because women find it easier to start with QA (lower barrier to entry) and has less demanding work.

OP is talking not just about casteism but also about sexism, and in the US this would be considered a badly sexist remark. Why do you assume that women seek jobs with a lower barrier to entry and less demanding work?
Cis white males and upper caste Indians say hi.
The ones that hate the caste system are often from the lower castes, who are the ones that see the unfavorable side of the system.

The ones from the higher castes (which are the most likely to be wealthy enough to come here) are the ones favored by the system and are more likely to approve of it.

This is what the vegan movt. is going wrong. Eating meat is missing the point: the disgusting ways in which animals are factory farmed are a disaster no one wants to address.
OP is correct by and large. But Hinduism is full of contradictions, for every rule there are are half a dozen exceptions so your observation isn't an anomaly.

The thing is, there's no master text (unlike Indian constitution) that one can consult and conclude "Brahmin == no meat". Someone would cite a scripture from an ancient Hindu text (for example, Rigveda, or Manu Smriti etc.,) and draw a conclusion, however the same text might as well contain a scripture few pages down that says exactly the opposite.
See my comment above about "women in QA". Also, "no female engineers" is laughable because that is 1 anecdote. There are plenty of Indian female engineers. You know that right ?

Always makes me wondering - why do these people work in Indian-managed companies? Outside of Indian expats, no one knows or gives a damn about castes. And this is probably the most toxic environment to work in, anyway - Indian companies are known for their power games and nepotism. Why choose them?

This looks interesting enough, but it really won't scale, as it relies on complex molecular assemblages with an iridium center, and iridium is quite rare as far as elements go. The paper is paywalled but the linked supplemental information shows the structures (pdf), Fig 8 is probably the most informative:

Practically, separating the hydrogen production from water step from the carbon dioxide reduction step is the more plausible route to industrially significant production. Fundamentally I'm pretty sure making what's called 'synthesis gas' (H2 + CO) and feeding that into the well-known Fischer-Tropsch process is the route to long hydrocarbons (i.e. jet fuel) starting with atmospheric CO2 and water, the challenge there is making the CO from the CO2 efficiently.

Alternatively, hydrogen and CO2 can be directly reacted over a cobalt catalyst, producing smaller hydrocarbons like methane and perhaps up to five-carbon molecules at present:

"Cobalt Catalysts Enable Selective Hydrogenation of CO2 toward Diverse Products: Recent Progress and Perspective (2021)"

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpclett.1c03043

Trying to do it all in one go is scientifically interesting, but not very practical. Even plants break it down into the light reactions (splitting water while generating ATP and NADPH, energy-carrying coupler molecules) and dark reactions (capturing the CO2 and incorporating it into a bisphosphorylated sugar prior to feeding it into the reductive reactions that utilize the products of the light reactions).

It's also not too surprising that plants are not super-efficient at this process, they're under broad evolutionary pressure for a wide variety of processes, such as taking up water and nutrients, reproducing, etc. that don't necessarily revolve around fixing as much carbon as fast as they possibly can. It similar to industrial nitrogen fixation in that manner (of course, atmospheric N2 is 80% of the atmosphere while CO2 is only, what is it now, 420 parts per million).
