Wow. That’s nuts.
That is a LOT of words dedicated to something that the author thinks is "ridiculous." People like this never pause to ask why they spend so much time thinking about things that they say are ridiculous fictions. I can say this because I used to be a radical materialist evangelist myself. Thankfully I grew out of that and settled into a comfortable agnosticism which I find much less exhausting.

This is not a very charitable assessment of the adaptability of devs and startups, nevermind that of humans in general. We've been adapting to technological change for centuries. What reason do you have to believe this time will be any different?
Exactly. You can see Apple struggle to build anything of quality with their software stack. Good luck making anything from this. So much great HW sadly wasted.
This is good advice. I've interviewed with YC 3 times. I practiced rapid fire questions about my then business from multiple angles with multiple different people.

It's a 10 minute conversation, the first two times it was worth 150k and the last time was worth 500k. (Not counting the intangibles and immense benefit to later stages of the business)

Not practicing would have been a mistake.

Anticipating the types of questions we were going to be asked and prepping in a series of mock interviews with a few different YC founders who have also experienced the interview help to make the answers reflexive and such that we could steer the conversation to our strengths.

We didn't get in, but it wasn't our ability to talk about the business that did us in, based on our feedback.

Practicing for high stakes one offs helps you keep things tight and see weak spots before actually having to do the thing.
No, but I think an AI is going to be Them, by default, not Her. for a while, until we figure out if there is a neurological basis for gender, and if so, how to mimic it.
The obvious complication is that your opposition also feels that they are right. This begs the question of what are the appropriate Rules of Engagement for conflict.

What do you think those rules should be and how do you treat the opposition?

Different societies have come up various thoughts on this question. It is not hyperbolic to say that some societies have decided such questions by Force, assassinating and Exterminating people with opposing views. There is a wide spectrum between that and polite debate, and the Salient question is where the line should be drawn

Isn't there a lot of literature about how kids exposed to sexually explicit material go on to do risky sexual behavior as teens and do them earlier? Also about abusers literally grooming kids for sex by showing them porn? Pretty sure all this was standard discourse at least since the early 2000s.

A great many amazing tools shall, by default, skip searching in hidden files (and gain a great speedup thanks to doing that). You'd have to modify all these tools so that they'd skip Library/ by default.

Also, related to that, what would you do with .git/? Move prjs/fizzbuz/.git to Library/fizzbuzz/git while keeping prjs/fizzbuzz?

> the flavor of Thai food

While we're at that subject: The national administration of Thailand has for the last, well, more than twenty years, been very actively pushing a big gastrodiplomacy and economy program (with certifications/labels, loans/subsidies and lots of other measures) to expand the number of Thai restaurants all over the world… and to standardize the recipes that are considered traditional "Thai cuisine".

On the positive side, that does help to guarantee some quality standards… but on the negative side, it did also have a strong effect of homogenization and reduction of diversity within "Thai cuisine".
I bet they'll use Finland's old Air force logo, since it's so well known in the region.

is what led to Nixon leaving office.

Recordings of yourself haven't gotten any more private since he did that in the Oval Office... to preserve his thoughts and, presumably, to document what he really thought.

If you're not a total alcoholic, you'll find your thoughts in similar situations are coincident with your previous thoughts, to the point of being indistinguishable. You probably shouldn't actually write them all down or record them. In fact, if you have to record them to remember them (that they might never recur) then they probably aren't firm enough to be worth going back to.

And if, like me, you are an alcoholic, you can virtually depend on saying the same things over and over.
In what world is simply dumping config items for your app in the user's home directory sensible? Why stop at config items? Do cache or temp crap too.

I disagree with this author’s description of Meyer.

> But in August 2020, Meyer rode her bike past a football player who she believed engaged in sexual misconduct with one of her younger teammates. Suddenly and impulsively, she spilled the coffee she was holding onto him.

Impulsively throwing coffee on someone in the name of a #MeToo rumor. It's a tragedy she killed herself, but she also shouldn't assault people. An impulsive assault is still an assault. Shame on The Free Press for not seeing this. And shame on Stanford for not letting police and courts handle this. If she gets convicted of assault, expel her. Don’t do the “kangaroo court” thing.

> In 4, 5, and 6 it seems you’ve lost sight of the fact that the analogy is being used as an argument against something that’s occurring in the real world. Whether my counter argument perfectly fits the original analogy is irrelevant because I’ve merely co-opted it as a rhetorical device. Are you suggesting it doesn’t fit with reality?

No analogy can be extended indefinitely, or you wouldn't be working with an analogy, you'd be observing an identity. It doesn't work, rhetorically, to take someone's analogy and point out that it is not `===` with the analogand. That's basically just an assertion that analogy is impossible.

Given the analogical elements introduced by the original toot, it works.

No disagreement here. There should be an independent monitoring body, something like the SEC. The SAIC? (with apologies to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago)
It's not a strawman, it's an analogy.

In order to be a man of straw, it would have to claim that AI "just is" a well-poisoning machine (in the literal sense of a machine that inserts poison into a hole in the ground containing H2O).

Now, that alone does not mean that it goes through; the analogy works as an intuition pump, and those can be flakey (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition_pump)

But nor does it mean that a fallacy has been committed
There's no accountability because there's no account to hold. The police have qualified immunity and the judge has absolute immunity. Unless you can prove that he knew he was doing the wrong thing with the intent to cause harm there is absolutely nothing to be done.

All of those supposed protections are meaningless in the face of the superior protection granted to police, judges, and prosecutors.

I strongly agree with your main point that sometimes valuable learning is painful. I've found a lot of mathematics is painful beyond "this is frustrating and difficult," but in a more profound way.

I would say though, about abstractions, I'm not sure hot stove is an abstraction. I think hot is an abstraction that allows you to apply the lesson you learned on the stove to the toaster and the coffee maker and all the other hot appliances you encounter.
> There is no such thing that allows you to avoid the race condition. There are a few issues:

> - You can't control every call to open, and thus enforce O_CLOEXEC on all files (by default)

Eh, you can if you open-code everything that might not call `pipe2(2)`, or `accept4(2)`, etc. It's not great, but it is possible. You can also LD_PRELOAD a shim to make everything do that -- also not great, but possible.

You can also do the spawn server thing, which solves the problem, though you need to spawn the spawn server early, and if not, well, yeah.

You can also close (on the child side of vfork()) all the FDs you don't know. That mostly works, unless you are running in a context where you need to keep some FDs you don't know about.

We don't have a time machine. We only have these workarounds. It's not all bad.
Good points, but I'd push back just a little.

> Sure, the actual implementations can be tricky, but a single engineer (trained in it) can get that done for a specific hardware in a couple months.

I want to agree with you on this, but in practice, it's...

1. Hard to hire that engineer with deep expertise in handwritten kernels. CUDA engineers are still hard to come by and doesn't scale with productionized AI engineering demand.

2. "A few months" is a tough pill to swallow from an engineering roadmap POV, especially when models are deployed on a monthly basis. Most of the hand tuning efforts aren't scalable and will have to be done again on most iterations. This is especially true in reinforcement learning and robotics.

> But, in retrospect, the actual value add from a system that does all this for you is quite low. It's a realization I've been struggling to accept.

Yeah I remain neutral on this. On one hand, I can see that especially having to invest significant engineering effort (see point 2 above). On the other hand, you won't really know until you start benchmarking these models (and as you should).

If everything honored this spec, including the part where it reads environment variables to see where the different directories are, you could do that by sticking the right variables in your environment.

I think the one legitimate exception to the rule is profile, because you need that in order to set the variables in the first place. So that one would somehow have to be hard coded to at least have a wider search path
> Yes god forbid employers are allowed to - checks notes - set wages. The Ministry of Truth knows better than they do what they can afford to pay for a given role!

> I applaud efforts to make companies publish salary ranges. It corrects an information disparity that leads to inefficiency. But what you propose (basically government-set salaries) is economically illiterate and would do nothing but harm employers and employees alike (not to mention the broader economy).

As noted in the provided definitions, the company can set their own ranges if they have existing staff that are currently performing the defined role. As noted here:

> (low_bound := min(current_salaries_for_role || government_average) * 0.85), and

> (high_bound := max(current_salaries_for_role || government_average) * 1.15)

if len(current_salaries_for_role) > 0, then the company can use it's own salaries for its own ranges.
Why wouldn't it?

They're not public figures, and the law lets them sue over use of their likeness. And any misconduct is almost certainly covered by their immunity.

They can almost certainly get the video taken down, and a good chance of monetary damages. And no consequences for anything else.

Just because that's an obvious travesty doesn't mean it isn't the most likely outcome.
And sure enough, they do. When I fork() a process, I get a return code which may be a child pid. I can hold it as a variable, put it in a hashmap, save it to a file, output it to a logging stream, kill it, or send a signal to it. The API ain't perfect but the world has not come crashing down upon us due to this in the past half-century as far as I have seen.

Unless there is an equivalent LAPD initiative that uploads the pictures of law-abiding citizens with names and other identifying info to the public web, there will be suspicions that this is an anti-police (rather than anti-police-surveillance-abuse) measure intended to intimidate and obstruct police work.

Neither is it clear how representative the organizers are of those law-abiding citizens generally rather than a minority mix of genuine victims of police abuse and political agitators using them.

Note this is not a criticism of representative community efforts to hold police forces to account for bad behaviour, but this particular approach seems to play an antagonistic role informed as much by political ideology as genuine concern about police overreach.
I had something similar happen to me once. The police claimed to have seen a "girl in distress" when they knocked on the door of a house party and spoke to the host. They came back 15 minutes later with an EMT and forced entry. They arrested only me (paraphernalia and possession charges -- though none of it was actually mine). I was released that night on my own recognizance, they kept my clothing "as evidence," and I had to walk to a friends (3/4 of a mile) wearing only my boxers in December. The charges were later dropped.

I was targeted that night because the sergeant on duty had a real thing against my older brother (who was, admittedly, a hell raiser), but my brother had left town a couple of years earlier after joining the Army and so he directed his bullshit at me. This was back in the '90s in a small rural area in Ohio. A place very similar to where Afroman lives today, in fact only 2 counties away.
If you assault me first and then I take a photo of you and use it for commercial purposes it doesn't mean you can't sue. It just means I'd sue you back first for that other thing. But good luck suing cops in US...
To be frank, my main issue is that the First Amendment regulates the governmental control of free speech, and should not be confused with the cultural value of tolerating disagreeable ideas.

I very much agree with the ideal of Defending the right of someone to speak a disagreeable idea, but that is not enshrined in the First Amendment.

Obnoxious students shouting down I guess speaker is not a First Amendment violation. A First Amendment violation would be if the state or FBI walked into the room and silenced them.

The link I provided talks about three different categories of free speech, and how they relate to law and cultural values.
I’m not sure I understand the point of Copwatching and documenting police abuses. Everyone knows about police abuses—the police even document their own abuses themselves with bodycams. It doesn’t matter to them because there are never consequences. It’s pointless to do all this documenting without a way to turn it into accountability.
