https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre

The Ludlow Massacre was a mass killing perpetrated by anti-striker militia during the Colorado Coalfield War. Soldiers from the Colorado National Guard and private guards employed by Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF&I) attacked a tent colony of roughly 1,200 striking coal miners and their families in Ludlow, Colorado, on April 20, 1914. Approximately 21 people, including miners' wives and children, were killed. John D. Rockefeller Jr., a part-owner of CF&I who had recently appeared before a United States congressional hearing on the strikes, was widely blamed for having orchestrated the massacre.[6][7]

The massacre was the seminal event of the 1913–1914 Colorado Coalfield War, which began with a general United Mine Workers of America strike against poor labor conditions in CF&I's southern Colorado coal mines.[8] The strike was organized by miners working for the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company and Victor-American Fuel Company. Ludlow was the deadliest single incident during the Colorado Coalfield War and spurred a ten-day period of heightened violence throughout Colorado. In retaliation for the massacre at Ludlow, bands of armed miners attacked dozens of anti-union establishments, destroying property and engaging in several skirmishes with the Colorado National Guard along a 225-mile (362 km) front from Trinidad to Louisville.[6] From the strike's beginning in September 1913 to intervention by federal soldiers under President Woodrow Wilson's orders on April 29, 1914, an estimated 69 to 199 people were killed during the strike. Historian Thomas G. Andrews has called it the "deadliest strike in the history of the United States."[2]: 1

The Ludlow Massacre was a watershed moment in American labor relations. Socialist historian Howard Zinn described it as "the culminating act of perhaps the most violent struggle between corporate power and laboring men in American history".[9] Congress responded to public outrage by directing the House Committee on Mines and Mining to investigate the events.[10] Its report, published in 1915, was influential in promoting child labor laws and an eight-hour work day. The Ludlow townsite and the adjacent location of the tent colony, 18 miles (29 km) northwest of Trinidad, Colorado, is now a ghost town. The massacre site is owned by the United Mine Workers of America, which erected a granite monument in memory of those who died that day.[11] The Ludlow tent colony site was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 16, 2009, and dedicated on June 28, 2009.[11] Subsequent investigations immediately following the massacre and modern archeological efforts largely support some of the strikers' accounts of the event.[12]
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the point of the example, but it really seems more like the else clause ought to be the if clause if it would have the more drastic effect at runtime. Checking if the denominator is zero and jumping out or returning some alternate value would be the if.
It's not that difficult at the high level.

You give it input and have efficient way of amending weight to produce desired output.

You repeat this step for tons of examples.

At the end you end up with surprising behaviour where those amendments lead to emergent properties that generalize well.

No car manufacturer is going to allow an infotainment system with apps that aren’t heavily vetted. There is too much of a liability and some things are completely illegal to have in view of the driver like video.

Even older cars are careful, like my last car that would not even allow you to pair your phone to radio over Bluetooth while the car was not in park.

Speculating motives based on surname is, I agree, bigoted. On the rest, I disagree.

You are essentially making a theological argument, that "academic, mainstream" Islam is the "real" Islam.

As a nonbeliever, this is meaningless to me. There is no "real" Islam, Christianity or such. Only what beilieving people believe.

The reality in many places is that honour killings exist, and even if rare, are a substantial cultural force keeping women in line. It's not exclusively Islamic, and they definitely have many origins historically. However, it is blind to ignore the relationship with the religion. It doesn't happen in secular circles.

Imagine a history book teaching the crusades that refuses to label them "Christian," because "real" modern Christianity has disavowed them.

Yes, I suppose it is cause and effect. Inexperienced managers read about FAANG, or perhaps more likely Basecamp, and decide to copy it. Also having a ton of VC money means you can afford to hire non-productive people too early.
The regulator could be a text classifier. Think about the sentiment analysis or moderator ML models, but this one would classify text on "hackyness" labels.

Now, this is a classic CS problem of sanitizing user input data.

And it's a hard problem to tackle!

Anyone who's written code that has user data going into things such as executeQuery(), eval() or dangerouslySetInnerHTML have (hopefully!) fought against this demon. Things like SQL and HTML have a limited encoding space, so it's doable. Eval (code input) is harder, and it's only good if you are in sandbox and even sandboxes can be escaped. Now when the input programming language is, in the case of LLM, natural language, the problem is orders of magnitude harder! There's a point it may feel you are safe and good to go, but no, never underestimate the power of an army of hackers, a clever journalist or... adversarial AI! Think about smartphones and how much work goes into landlocking extraneous apps and code inside them and how vulnerable they still are to attacks.

People are thinking and working on the problem as of right now [1] [2]. But OP is right, ChatGPT at this point is an `eval(chatinput)` kind of implementation and any business/practical implementation that takes user input somehow into that "eval" is bound to be jailbroken.

Just rented a car with wireless Android Auto, and while it was convenient when it worked, it occasionally dropped the connection and I had to manually restart it (and sometimes it would refuse to connect). On one day where I was on a road trip, this happened several times.

Also, when I wanted to turn it off temporarily, there's no easy way to do so on either the phone or car. Gotta turn the car off or dive deep into infotainment settings. It looks like neither the auto manufacturers nor Google have thought this through.

thanks is the right article i need to read now for my current phase towards burn out. Sorry for the rant , From my early days had developed a code in myself "do not care about employer, but care about your work". Recent days the second part of my code "care about your work" am questioning this greatly.Although i strive to provide the highest quality of work output the ranks above me replaces the work with something comfortable which they prefer, after i move on to another parts. This really frustrate me ,also questions my code "care about your work". The part in blog "care about the results of our actions but with no control over outcomes" helped me , if i do not have control over the outcome is not a point to stress about it.I should focus on work rather than the outcome from my work.

You’re really just saying that when humans get together in organized groups it tends to amplify the worst aspects of human nature. “Corporations” is pointlessly specific and smacks of simplistic rhetoric.

> It is organic interaction, which you get at the Fediverse. Much more so than on Twitter

Do you though? If you're unlucky with your instance of choice, there will be as much "organic interaction" as in an abandoned mining town.

Coupled with aversion to search this makes Mastodon "organic" only on large instances and/or only if you specifically know which people on which instances to follow.
It’s so under-supported it might as well be write-only. Last I checked, there wasn’t even a way to search your bookmarks within the UI.

> deep learning is to achieve artificial intelligence, we had almost achieved

DL has already """achieved""" AI, which was there before the perceptron. In fact, "Artificial Intelligence" is there to solve problems without direct human work, and it has worked pretty well in the past decades in many different domains.

This is to say, that our goal has been to have automated problem solvers - that of producing general intelligence (and, before that, general problem solvers) is kind of a different goal.
No, but the impact of that on Android and iOS (which this sub thread is about) is quite limited.

Yeah, in particular since you cannot have Some(null) which is just very bad design because it makes interaction with code that uses null impossible (or unreliable).

And syntactically, it's not a pleasure to use, but that's more a fault of Java being so verbose and limited in terms of the typesystem, not a fault of the Optional type.
> Why would I spend time on a social network where few of the people I know or interested in are present?

Heard this argument more often. I find this a strange perspective. Say that you are living in a country with the same amount of population as the Fediverse has. Would you say generally speaking it is hard to get to know people you are interested in? Of course for niche interest areas mass networks help find a larger group. But among millions there's quite a few people to have nice engagements with already.

Really depends on the industry you're talking about. Some have never been on Twitter to begin with.

> > The number of accounts that have posted to HN this year, divided by the number of IP addresses that have accessed HN, is 0.008. How close that is to the '1% rule' ratio depends on which is the bigger factor: users with more than one IP or IPs with more than one user. We don't know. If the former is bigger, then 0.008 is a lower bound.

> > Here's another way. The number of accounts that have posted this year, divided by the number of accounts that have viewed HN while logged in, is 0.36. That doesn't tell us much, but we can estimate the ratio of logged-in users to total users this way: logged-in page views divided by total page views. That ratio is 0.23. We can multiply those two to estimate the ratio of posters to total:

> > So the two ways of estimating produce 0.8% and 8% respectively. Both ways are bogus in that they assume things we don't know and mix units that aren't the same, but they're the two I came up with and I don't remember how I did it before. It's interesting that they're almost exactly an order of magnitude apart. That makes it tempting to say the number is probably in between, but that's another cognitive bias talking.

Yes, my basis for wondering was reflectance to surface area providing more PV energy than capture by the same PV surface from a higher energy point source. About all I've got is less directional, so at lower intensity more available for less tracking effort.

If you assume that all three numbers are small integers, doing the division last minimizes precision loss (and doesn't have any loss if the accurate result is representable as a float).

Otherwise you get loss from the division and then multiply that loss (by >1).

I think this comment is spot on. Another thing I’ll add: building something successful enough to be sustainable is incredibly difficult, especially when market value for SWEs is established by a few winner-take-all disruptions that panned out in the internet and smart phone transitions of the past two decades.

The saccharine platitudes and subtle gaslighting of the corporate world is really just a thin veneer designed to allow employees to get some work done without having to think too deeply about the brutality of globalized capitalism.
No, you have to build your own network first. That's the main difference to Twitter, where the algorithm throws people at you (including the toxic ones to maximize engagement). It is more representative to real life that way. If you move to a new city you will have to give some effort to build a relationship network. By doing so it is likely also to be a more intimate and qualitative one, providing more value from the time you spend there.

“Mastodon” as a product name, to me, doesn’t sound inviting at all. Evokes associations with masturbate, Mammoth and the general sense of something big, dark and clunky.

If you have used the product and like it, I’m sure you won’t care about the name, or even come to like and cherish it. But for an outsider who just hears about this thing I would argue that it’s not very approachable.
To be fair, it may be the "biggest change ever", but it doesn't change too much. It buff some units that were bad, nerf some units and techs that were too good. But the general meta remains the same. The devs are really good at introducing changes.
