It is totally not a myth. I have seen it.

I guess technically, the water flushes the same way but it looks backwards to you because you're looking at it upside down.
it doesn't matter. caste discrimination is very similar to racial discrimination - of course, race, as well as caste, has no strict definition under law. in fact, i would go as far as to say race cannot possibly be defined in a way that is useful.

to put it differently, if you don't actually belong to "race x", but fulfill someone's stereotype about "race x", you can still become a victim of racial discrimination.

the exact nature of what race or caste is, doesn't matter at all - it's the intent to exclude people based on one's preconceived notions of caste/race that does.
>moral superiority

I don't feel bad about objective moral superiority. Just beacuse the caste system is ingraind in Indian culture doesn't mean it should be respected or allowed.
Another annoying thing about the USA is the willingness to complicate everyones life based on a caveat only affecting a few.

Most people are only employed by one job, take the standard deduction, and have no other tax complications. But they are forced to file a tax return because they *might* have something to declare the IRS doesn't already know about.

Removing the sales tax from milk I am buying at a supermarket because a person might purchase lumber is insane, ..., right?
Yeah, for EKS you pick an IP range for docker, but it can't be changed after the cluster is created. So remember to pick right.

I fully recognize that media is a business like any other, subject to pressures and the biases of its participants. (It’s a product, said a CNN producer friend.)

With that said, is it any wonder, with certain politicians demonizing media at every opportunity, and certain outlets actively seeking to misinform, that confidence has fallen?

I wish I knew the answer. We’re at a dangerous point in the US and also the world where we need to be able to discern the truth and act to pull back from what feels like a precipice.
I think that this can be trivially solved by openAI. they could store all their responses and then for a fee allow schools/professors to submit the answers they're getting from students like they already do with turnitin if the answer is 90% the same... easy to deduct that it's not original. plus, because OpenAI makes you login, if it is a match they could allow you see the email address associated with the submission... if its the student's name, pretty obvious that it was not their own work.
Any solution that involves shared walls with neighbors is not desirable to the vast majority of Americans.

Anyone who wants to live in apartments can do so. Nobody is forced to live in single-family homes -- on the contrary, we work long and hard to afford the money to get into them because they are better than listening to our neighbors all the time.
RAM 1500 EV Will Offer a Range Extender Gas Engine, CEO Confirms
I feel like more than one issue can be worked on at a time by a given city council. There will always be something that's either more or less important, but it would be a greater failing to only address the most glaring immediate catastrophes than to work on various problems concurrently.
ARM's MTE is often nicknamed "HWASAN" - it implements a lock-and-key metaphor. The memory allocations emitted by the compiler will get a "coloring" for the base pointed which can be matched with the specific region accessed by indexed loads and stores.

BTW this isn't just an experiment or research - some android developers have this enabled today and Android 14 beta has a user-configurable option to enable it.
>As a Han Chinese, what caste I would be in when dealing with those abusers who openly discriminate their peers?

Congrats, you get the good kind of discrimination in tech.
Lol, yes you're right I do. Don't have it yet though. :)
> This is an unacceptable behavior, and it should be banned as a condition of entry to the country.

Or, we could embrace everyone, establish equal rules for participation in our society and show them a better way. I think this “Jesus Christ” you invoke would agree.
For one thing, the city council voted to oppose war with Iran. That’s great and all, but who asked the city of Seattle for their thoughts on an international relations dilemma? I’m sure the vote only took up perhaps 15 minutes or less in government proceedings, but it shows where the council’s head is at. The city has very real problems with safety, policing, taxing, transit, homelessness, and so on. Instead they opt to be performative.
How do you know that someone is gay? Or an alcoholic? Or Dominican?

If someone believes that you’re a gay Dominican, but you’re actually a straight Puerto Rican, it’s not relevant. The action is the tort.
Even if that's true (which it's not), what's the excuse for keeping it after they left?
Latin America also had a caste system.

Today, it evolved into nepotism and corruption.
It is unsurprising to find wisdom in 570GB of human generated text.

It is unsurprising to find useful information being returned when a statistical process is used to extract value from those text. It's a similar process to how search engine work, except more costly and the result more natural.

However, if you choose to believe that the above process is signifying the development artificial intelligence that will start to have its own consciousness, then good for you.

Again, I'm not saying ChatGPT is useless or won't replace many jobs, it is amazing in its own right. It's like a refined and more useful google, which is huge. I'm only arguing that it is not AGI, will not develop into AGI, attempting to argue for its usefulness in other area is not arguing against me - no strawman please. As for myself, I'm not too worried for my job from this angle (there are plenty of other angles to worry about, that is), for with all tooling that develops, it benefits the people who could best put the said tool to work.
This would be a deeply important change you'd provoke.

Much greater incentive to absolutely silent rejection. You know nothing you can't sue.
> "I will only know if you’ll like this article once I publish it."

I don't like it. For starters, the length is only slightly longer than a handful of tweets. Barely qualifying as an "article", it ends abruptly, without really saying anything. Almost like someone called out "dinner is ready", and because the article wasn't going anywhere, he just ended it with "we don't care".

> "As painful as it is..."

Painful? How is it painful? A more interesting article would elaborate on this pain.

The irony here is that nothing has really been "created" with this piece. It's like a comment. This comment I'm writing here in painful silence, has more substance than the article in question!
While I agree with the point of your message, I don't think your personal experience and relationships with Indian is a good argument.

There are many stories of employees or managers that could not believe that their sweet quiet coworker bullied other coworkers of a different cast for months or years. People are complex and sometimes end up doing stuff we never thought they would be capable of. That's also probably why this is such a hard problem to fix.
Uh, there are a lot of supposedly upper caste people who eat meat. Maybe in the old days but I thought the caste stuff was no longer a thing. It’s really the wokeism / sjw finding their next supposed cause.
There’s no such thing as objective moral superiority. Morality is subjective.

I think what they mean is that there’s been an ongoing effort for Microsoft to migrate Teams from 1) Electron to Webview2, and 2) Angular to React, though as far as I can tell this has been going on for at least a year. Journalist probably just isn’t actually technical, but either way Microsoft wants to hint that this is a significant release and performance can be expected to improve.

As for whether or not Teams will still suck… I guess we’ll find out.
Usually R tidyverse with GGplot2 does it for me. You could create shiny app and explore with "No code".
That's like you saying you want to be above everyone else and be the "highest of the high", and while trying to upset people with this (or obliviously thinking you "won't" because it must be your "natural place above everyone" and they'll just accept and worship you for it, haha...how ridiculous!), you try to chastise other's for wanting to upset people. This is the same pathology where someone who needs to dominate, but doesn't know how to achieve, has to invent and fabricate "wrongs" everywhere so they can "legitimize" going after people and trying abusing them. Hahah, the very punching above the belt that you advise, is something you would never do, because you'd lose. So you have to "skew the field" and do the very same "hypothetical exaggerated caricature" (really...not just a caricature? an exaggerated caricatured? are you sure?) that you try to blame someone else doing, is what you do!!! Hahaha. Ridiculous.

Anyway your point is invalid. The situation I described is exactly the HN vibe you see. Hypocritical, lacking in self awareness, desperate to be seen as smart...well, hey...whaddayouknow...exactly like what you've displayed here. Hmmm, not a caricature at all (tho I admit it was satirical) and also not intended at everyone! Totes makes sense now that the person most wounded by that satire and thus prompted to reply would be the person most likely to demonstrate the very same! Thank you for revealing yourself! :) ;P xx ;p

All your other points are valid but uninteresting, they don't disprove anything. But yeah...this whole thing seems like a distraction for the current tumult. There's 1000s of other cases if you're interested in something real...but you're probably not, but second I'm guessing maybe you are into this (maybe you're just too scared to admit it in public?)...anyway whatevs...this thing's probably a distraction. Well except for your comments, they just revealed you. But, yeah, the balloon thing: probably a distraction.
That's a big claim with nothing backing it up.
> Discrimination is fractal

What does it mean for something to be fractal in this sense?
Easiest way to is to provide an illustration of the cost of doing said action. Those costs need to be put in terms that they understand. That way they can evaluate how much they really want things.

This is an indirect no. We can do that, it will cost X and take Y time and have Z impact on the code base and our long term velocity. Is this what you would like to do?

Quite often, they will say no themselves. If you have no trust with management and they ignore your warning, the org is already at high levels of toxicity and there isn't much you can do anyway. Realize that and navigate the position accordingly.
A role for all your EC2 instances
Yes, even considering this the benefits out way the costs. I use cloudflare competitor at my work. Ideally all APIs would never have security issues and always have amazing rate limiting. In practice, this is never the case. What I use stops low skilled attack on the scale of millions of malicious requests per day against thousands of false positives. (still way too high) In addition, when the high skilled attacker find a massive hole it also slows down them down so that they get thousands of requests in vs millions. In addition, it let you block them much faster than needing a new deployment and let have another way to detect them. Is there other ways to do this? Yes. By the time you implement everything will hackers stolen millions of dollar from your customers? Probably
It's kind of like Bitcoin: huge amount of money and reputation sitting out there to be claimed once your algo is good enough to publish a story in a major market. Similar to beating humans at chess. As a fiction author this does scare me. I don't see why the ai won't get as good or better than us.

These people who trust the Slack app... I dont get it. The native experience is not really better. When I run things on the web, I know there is a lot more trustability, and in the case of many app, the overhead will be lower (which I wish they could fixed with shared lib WebViews, but oh, it's os dependent... maybe you should run the web directly instead of trying to native? (but woe that no one has done good cross-platform webbrowser dynamic lib yet)).
The Dutch constitution explicitly mentions faith based discrimination.

"Allen die zich in Nederland bevinden, worden in gelijke gevallen gelijk behandeld. Discriminatie wegens godsdienst, levensovertuiging, politieke gezindheid, ras, geslacht of op welke grond dan ook, is niet toegestaan"

I assume the US Constitution does not?
Slack does this too. These are multi, multi billion dollar enterprises; there’s no excuse to this. Especially when something like Telegram does this an order of magnitude better.
Kind of a good point but also you are mixing some things up. Conscious, intelligent, sentient all have different meanings. Conscious and sentient are very vague but I don't see any reason to believe LLMs have such a thing, or certainly not similar to our own.

But I think you are quite wrong to suggest that this technology does not exhibit some type of intelligence.
Maybe trust is a big deal for you, but it isn't for most Amazon customers. That's why they make so much money. Amazon isn't in danger of going out of business because you personally don't trust them. Most people are happy to keep using them, despite their search experience not being in the customer's best interest and instead being designed to extract more profit.

I have significantly reduced the use of plastic in the kitchen over the past few years.

* Only metal or glass containers (sometimes with plastic lids)

* But fresh vegetables/fruits (95% of these are not covered in plastic) and grains/spices from bulk barn (take your own glass containers and fill them up).

* Meat and dairy comes in plastic wrap or bottles. But I am hoping to find a butcher who will let me take away the meat in my own glass container. Also searching for a good exchangable container milk+yogurt store.

* Have reusable bags for groceries that last many years.

There is still quite some plastic used, but I am probably close to the 10th percentile when it comes to plastic usage.

My experience has been that even beyond caste, huge tech companies get these weird race/ethnicity based fiefdoms embedded within them. The company might be “improving diversity” but there are whole teams from director down that are 90% Indian immigrants and the Indian team members are promoted from within, same for East Asian, haven’t seen Slavic type yet but probably out there. Had some strange experiences where 7/8 coworkers were Chinese and routinely spent the entire day talking together in Chinese and excluding me from like regular work convos high impact projects and general progress early in my career.
Possibly, in which case someone on the inside would have to be incentivized to be a whistleblower, either due to moral or financial considerations if silent rejections were covering up the illegal activity. With that said, people are lazy, they slip up or they become demoralized, disgruntled, and comfortable with spilling the beans. More so in a volatile macro with layoffs compressing more work amongst less staff.

TLDR Have your paper trail in order if you suspect illegal behavior, everything else is then logistics with counsel and/or regulators.

> it can't be original, it will forever recycle/regurgitate past SF

I can’t see why. It could very well, on its own, use other genre’s narrative structures, stories or styles that are uncommon or inexistant in SF.

It could also be used by a human writer to flesh out the story and concepts the writer has created. There are a few authors I find brilliant but whose writing and characters were sorely lacking.

It’s really more about what you do with it than wether or not you use it. I mean, computers have enabled people to simply copy-paste stuff and not produce anything meaningful. Some do just that. Others have thrived.
> - How is this implemented?

Don't know the actual proposal here, but almost certainly adds "caste" to the list of protected classes. Although it appears that "ancestry" is already an explicit protected class here: https://www.seattle.gov/civilrights/civil-rights-enforcement...

> - How is caste defined under American law? - Is there an enumerated list of all castes?

The US is a common law system, so the answer is "it doesn't matter, it's up to court interpretation."

> - How does one demonstrate under American law that person A is of caste X and person B is of caste Y?

This starts to get to the heart of the matter, what does a plaintiff have to show to be able to demonstrate discrimination on the basis of caste. My guess is that caste discrimination is already effectively covered by existing protected classes, but trying to convince a judge that the fact pattern is working towards establishing caste to thence be used for discrimination is likely to be exceedingly difficult at present. Add in "caste" as an explicit protected class, and, well, the plaintiff's job is much easier.

> - How is caste "assigned"? - Can one switch castes? Is ones caste immutable? - Does one register a caste like a political party?

These are all more or less irrelevant for the purposes of discrimination. It's the defendant (alleged discriminator)'s belief of the plaintiff's caste that matters. If that belief is incorrect, but was still used for the purposes of discrimination, it's illegal.
Wow. Nice investigation.

We should see more of this but how prevalent is this, it is only going to get worse over time
In order to benefit directly from your value creation you have to get out from under the protective shell of an org owned by someone else. This means both the risk, and rewards, are yours. If you are unwilling to do this then you will always be at the mercy of those whom you look at to shield you from the risks.

NYC density: 26,403 people per square mile (source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_York_Cit...)

Yes, greater LA area also has a lot of what people like to call “sprawl”, but it’s a big place and has many different neighborhoods. You also don’t need high rises for density - Paris is not all that tall, but at 53k people per square mile, it’s denser on average than NYC…
+1 for Datasette, love it!
It is not in any sense whatsoever AGI. AGI is an unsolved problem. You are defining it to be something it’s not. I don’t know where this idea comes from.
Why wouldn't the caste system be in play? If you imagine a company in a foreign country that hired a lot of Americans, would you not expect the same problems with racial discrimination that happen in the US to arise among these American employees?
ST-Moe: Designing Stable and Transferable Sparse Expert Models
Whereas in India caste based discrimination is written in the law. Yes the so called "upper caste" are discriminated against at every step of their life. Be it college admissions or government jobs or getting elected, almost 50% seats are reserved for the "lower caste".

This was written in the law at the time of the formation of republic, as a temporary measure to uplift the lower castes. But no party in power has even talked about removing these even 75 years later, because you know.... Votes!!! It would be a political suicide for a party to undo these reservations.

Now I'm not against giving reservations to weaker sections of the society. But these must be based on economic status, not caste. There are many cases where even the third generation is taking benefits. I personally know a few where the be grand father retired from a plush govt. job that he got under reservation, the father is currently in a top bureaucratic job and the kids are getting reservation seats in medical college admissions. This makes 0 sense. This is only giving rise to more division among caste lines as the upper caste feel like being discriminated against.
How would you expect to implement a double blind interview? Have the interview over text or something?
They are also moving huge portions of the code to react rather than old AngularJS. I'm not sure if they have replaced it entirely or not, but the classic AngularJS was the cause of innumerable performance problems.
I read this as:

Maybe, "self-perpetuating".

No but discriminating against people with disabilities would violate other laws.
I'm not particularly familiar with Electron and WebView2, but even the Electron blog suggest that WebView2 uses some different IPC formats that can be faster[1]. Considering a big selling point of Teams is as a hub for other Microsoft products, and other plugins, it doesn't seem unreasonable that improvements to the IPC would translate to better performance for Teams, in at least many of the expected usecases.
