The "not a marketing email" blurb in the footer where they know you are looking for an unsubscribe button is the marketing email equivalent of "I'm not touching you!" (imagine this being said by a 10-year-old you've just asked nicely to stop touching you, holding a finger an inch from your skin). Not exactly the behavior of someone who thinks the recipient wants to be receiving these emails, is it? The presence of the "this is technically not spam" disclaimer alone tells me this behavior should result in big, big fines. Too bad I'm not the one evaluating these very clear cut cases. I wish terrible things on those pieces of shit who run Comcast.

This is certainly true in as much as I've experienced it in companies. The CDO (Chief Diversity Officer) has very little power and influence. Often it seems this is something many companies hire for so they can do the following

1. Say, "Look, we're trying here. We hired a CDO."

2. Have someone to take the blame if/when nothing changes. "We hired a CDO and nothing has changed, it must be their fault."

I've seen some very frustrated people in this role that really want to make a difference, but find nothing but roadblocks.

I think a CDO role would be more effective as an official part of HR and Recruiting groups as the first step is getting diverse applicants and hires.
They could embed ads in their cover photos. Just a banner or something. Not sure how the tracking would work, but there would certainly be value in it since sharing headlines can get many millions of views.
> AMD stays ahead of Intel, and releases something successful in the phone market. Something open, unlike Qualcomm. Now you can get a high end phone that runs the latest stock Android for unlimited years.

This seems unlikely because of the very strong IP position Qualcomm has.

Apple and Intel combined couldn't break that position just on the modem front so good luck to AMD if they tried to build a competitive SoC without licensing Qualcomm IP and with no substantial ARM experience.

I mean I dislike the gitlab pricing increases, and we are kind of regretting sticking with them (especially since everyone on the Gitlab instance has to pay for a seat, even when not using any of the premium features) considering how Github is cheaper and has a higher release velocity at this point... But to be very fair, we never saw what you describe about memory leaks or slow ruby services. Migrations are also usually silent and done in the background. I guess the software itself is pretty heavy, but predictably so (RAM usage rarely spikes, for example).

We have a 400+ seats instance, with a decade worth of code and it just works 99.99% of the time, and upgrades are generally painless. Though our instance is pretty vanilla, and internal to our corporation. The runners are more finnicky and buggier, especially since we have tons of different build targets but that's besides the point if we are just talking about using it as a dumb git repo. And if you only need it for that purpose why even pay instead of using the community edition?

(I'm in the AI team but I sometimes help the devops team that takes care of the instance to customize our AI pipelines, so I'm familiar with gitlab and with my colleagues experience with it)
CISO’s are another example.
My impression is that this has already been the case for many years, only presumably being mostly done my humans!

Guess how many people at Mozilla decide that a CA can become a root? 1
Guess how many people it takes to decide that a root certificate authority (#CA) is accepted into the #Mozilla program, from which all the browsers basically take their root CAs in turn?

It's 1 person. And it's not actually documented anywhere as far as I can tell/find via Google.

I think we need some transparency here, and maybe more than one person making this decision for everyone.

Also If I'm wrong and Mozilla has documented this somewhere, please, please prove me wrong and post the link as a reply.
Given the fact that alot of people didn't think to diversify their cash between banks to stay insured, do you really think it would be a stretch to suggest they don't really know what they're doing?

It's a bit like suggesting zoomers know what a filesystem is because they grew up with computers; seems like it should be the case on the surface but you'll quickly realise they've never dealt with the underlying realities of the system, they just use the interface.

I do think the push for ethics in AI is important. As much as these functions do get sidelined in the prioritization process as outlined in the parent comment, the intent of introducing the rigor is valid.

As banks spend longer paying almost no interest, more depositors will seek higher rates. Bank of America absolutely gets away with paying very little interest, but their average interest rate is surely increasing with increasing market interest rates.
These roles are often more effective as they are often given direct oversight, review and acceptance/rejection powers that allow them to behave as a gatekeeper; often times as a partner with legal departments.
I think Cargo is more of a social success than a technical one. People just agreed to use one standard tool, and that does wonders.

There are concerns about this. [1]

But for the past three years, the Rochester team—and Dias in particular—has been shrouded in allegations of scientific misconduct after other researchers raised questions about their 2020 claim of room-temperature superconductivity. In September, the Nature paper reporting that result was retracted, as documented in Science and For Better Science. Further misconduct allegations against Dias have recently emerged, with researchers alleging that Dias plagiarized substantial portions of someone else’s doctoral thesis when writing his own and that he misrepresented his thesis data in a 2021 paper in Physical Review Letters (PRL). Jessica Thomas, Executive Editor of the Physical Review journals, confirmed that PRL has launched an investigation into that accusation. “This is a pretty serious allegation,” she says. “We are not taking it lightly.”

To understand those allegations, Physics Magazine independently examined Dias’ thesis and spoke with more than a dozen experts in high-temperature superconductivity, including Dias. Although opinions differ, an overwhelming majority agree that some form of misconduct has likely occurred. Dias denies the accusations. “I really do see all this as a scientific debate,” he says. “So even though these are meaningless, baseless claims, I really do think that these are adding to advancing the science.” He insists that the data for both of his room-temperature-superconductivity claims are robust and valid.

and

On a hunch, he pulled up Dias’ 2013 thesis and fed both his thesis and Dias’ into a plagiarism checker. His computer screen lit up; the two documents contained numerous identical passages. Physics Magazine independently compared the two theses and found dozens of paragraphs that match word for word and two figures that have striking similarities.

I remember it being a brilliant product I loved back then.

Killing it was a foolhardy move on GOOG's part. In part, due to the loyal fanbase it had, but just to keep something running that doesn't cost as much, and gets you a lot of goodwill was a false move.

It could be a nice option for small projects! The companies where I saw Django in production had terrible issues. Last.fm is one of them, I can't speak directly about the other one (aerospace). Django is good for a proof of concept but once you hit real-world requirements or your developers (inevitably unaware of the nuances of Django) start adding code and exceptions, it completely breaks down. Django was a good idea back when PHP was the only way to make "interactive" pages. Nowadays -for big/real projects- is just asking for trouble.

Long time ago -for a personal project- I used CherryPy, which is simpler and easy to learn. I don't know where it stands today, but it's another option.
Yet look up the comments list and see people saying it still requires tweaking…
Yes, my point is that this is a special case separate from normal 3D graphics.

>If I don't have exotic performance goals + I have the parts supported by a given OTS map + I drive in the supported climate, why should I trust some rando in his garage to make a map for me, over Cobb who sees way more vehicles and configurations than any single shop ever could? A lot of the time reading these forum post endorsements sound like "the tune is so good this guy is totally a scientist yo".

I assume because Cobb, because of the reasons you stated, has to be more conservative than the guy in the garage can be.

Whether or not that's a good thing is according to your risk tolerance/wallet size.
I didn’t realize venv was part of the standard library. If that’s the case, how is it that conda even exists? Anybody got a good history of this?
No. But until we acknowledge that we can pay for it directly, pay for it indirectly with packed ERs and dubious means testing and bureaucracy, or let the poor die are the only options we are never going to solve it

What are some examples of fine-tuning or trial-and-error you might need at scale?
The baffaling part is it even sounds like someone making up an over the top scam.

It's not a union, though, it stores references to three memory locations, not just one (as a union represents a single memory location which can have multiple possible interpretations). And the lowered code has nothing protecting it from an invariant where more than one reference is non-null!
In practice these roles are about enforcing their own ideology, which informs their ethics and what they believe are the correct ethics for the entire world.

That's how we get AI that is not neutral. Microsoft made a necessary move if their goal is to be more neutral.

Just that investors, board members, executives, etc are individuals who are subject to fashion trends in organization design and feel strongly that their organizations should look a certain way at whatever time.

For some, it’s earnest belief that the design is effective and for others it’s just signaling that they’re willing to play game and not upset apple carts unnecessarily.

Regardless, these fashion trends are real and can’t be rejected lightly. As mentioned, they’re just part of operating at a certain scale.

Edit: I was too prolix in my initial enthusiasm to point out the obvious analog.

>> Can scholarly work, viewed from the perspective of its author's life story, be therefore perceived as a performative act, rather than as primarily objective analysis?

And how do we regard Thucydides today? Had some nephew of his written in his stead would we really wring our hands in some different way about the the account of the Peloponnesian war? Do we really discount people that feel that recent events are of relevance to subsequent generations? Is that not historical, at least in terms of a specific complaint?
can you imagine being dumb enough to write this comment.
Placebo effect is known to cure some people though.
Yep - this reeks. When the conclusion of their "necessary IP constraints" is "no one else will be able to verify the material exists or try and make it by the same process" then this turns into junk science.

It's some guy just saying "trust me bro" except he's already been caught out committing academic misconduct.

The history of scientific fraud is full of mysteriously uniquely special researchers who were only able to get their results in their own labs, with their own equipment, when they alone were using it. No end of "free energy" charlatans do the same thing.
If your organization is designed to have a C-level official to manage things like internal audit, and that job is vacant for an extended period, it’s unlikely that the VP of Audit has the political capital to be heard.

There it is. You didn't need to blow the dog whistle, we all got it. Keep on keepin' on ignoring the ever present boys' club and widespread reports that diversified teams produce better results. Surely that's relevant to a discussion about... an internal AI ethics team. Yup.
this is just ... beautiful ! thank you !
This sounds like plain “false advertising“ to me. Besides — wouldn’t an inventory tracking platform that has actual real AI/ML capabilities end up eventually replacing its “unintelligent” equivalents since it’ll most likely be a better hence more valuable product?
This can't be a coincidence! I bet it's even a fun strategy for some HN submitters.
A) SCOTUS would tell them to file the damn paperwork. Patriot Act has been challenged several times; it's well-crafted to be in compliance with the Constitution.

B) Google already has a PAC but PACs aren't votes, though the cynics would claim otherwise. If people want to repeal any part of the Patriot Act, they need to make it an issue. The kind of issue that shows up on the news.

C) It's hard to get purchase on changing this because know-your-customer is... Kind of a good requirement actually? Anonymity in business enables all manner of lawbreaking; sunlight is the best disinfectant, etc.
Buying a house/car or getting a job is something that happens everyday without anyone consulting Experian. If you don't like Experian then don't do business with people that use Experian.
This is the case with literally all kinds of professional ethicists. Thanks to them, we do not routinely do scientific challenge trials and plenty of other valuable experiments, and in many cases are reduced to collecting significantly worse data and doing it very slowly and expensively.

One wonders whether those Kenyans who now labour for two dollars an hour to label data for OpenAI, so as to diminish its toxicity, will be the next casualties. Nadella’s previous actions suggest that he will endeavour to automate all such jobs.

Rust will only be a real competitor once it’s generics can hold a candle to C++ templates.
Totally agree on both the incredible utility of this -- but also the name change. It feels like there's way too much overlap between these two. Before long we're going to be building a UI for "Pinecone" using... "Pynecone". That is just too confusing!
The two-state system was the first example I learned in undergrad stat mech, and really helped me understand the first-principles definitions of entropy, temperature, etc. My parent comment was more for the casual HN reader, but if you really dig into the two state system, negative temperatures aren't all that weird.

The first thing to understand is microstates, which is just the number of ways a system can have a certain energy. Eg in a two-state system with ten particles and energies +/-(E/2), there's one microstate where the energy is -5E (all negative), ten states with -4E (one elevated), etc. Then entropy is just the log of the # of microstates, which is much easier to deal with, since microstates tend to behave exponentially. Eg entropy(E=-10) is log(1)=0, entropy(E=-9) is log(10), etc.

Then temperature like you said is d(entropy) / d(energy). Two systems with different temps brought into contact will exchange energy until the temps are equal, since this configuration maximizes entropy.

The two-state system can have negative temperatures since entropy starts decreasing with energy once more than half of them are in the higher-energy state. This can't happen in more familiar scenarios (eg ideal gas, blackbody, etc) since usually entropy always goes up with energy.
> even though C++ has a significantly more complex type system (it's type system is TC)

For what it's worth, Python's type hints are also Turing complete (https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.14755, discussed on HN at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32779296)
Because the risk is supposed to lie in the hands of the investors, the founders, and the people who make the decisions. When the risks taken by the people at the top succeed, they profit, when they fail, they tend to push that onto their employees through layoffs and withholding raises. Then they will turn back around saying that they deserve their lavish lifestyles because they are the ones taking the risks. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Anyone funded a Treasury as a Service (TaaS) startup yet?
Sorry, yes I meant tagged union, a C style union (as in the language's concept) is so useless by itself that I thought being tagged was an obvious given.

In that case, the pattern matching and exhaustiveness means that the value the sumtypes in rust offer is in combination with those other language features, not the mere usage of the sumtypes themselves then, I think that makes more sense.
Line of sight, so you'll probably pick up the planes fine but not the controllers.

As someone who still knows a number of professional Illustrators I highly suggest talking to artists about this topic then for once, both hobby and professional. Actually talk to a few artists and you will quickly find a number of them who were already hurt by NFTs via art theft or spam and scam.

NFTs and the guys pushing them were only out to hurt artists and exploit them, and nothing else. If they weren't out to scam them, they were out there just stealing the art.

It was not "a nice idea" and the fact that people still try to tie them to "but what about the artists" narrative is a disgrace. I'm sorry, but there is no "but" here.

Yes something for artists would be nice, everyone agrees. NFTs were never that, not even a little bit. It was not "an attempt to provide artists with revenue", it was an attempt to use artists for revenue.

You make a difference between what you say, and the people cheering for NFTs, but the whole "yeah but what if it works" or "yeah but wouldn't it be nice if..." angle is exactly the type of crowbar all the cryptocurrency/NFT scammers used and still use to stay relevant.
Yeah, I assumed OP was looking through the disambiguation page or somesuch for "Peppercorn". :)
This was the second largest bank failure in US history, yet, it doesn't make sense in one way or another.

"By raising the threshold from $50 billion in assets to $250 billion, medium-size banks were exempted from those regulations."

Is this just a medium sized bank failing? Everyone seems to think the sky is on fire.
Well that, or if you’re trying to sync to your own hands or any other things in the real world, like other people’s instruments.
