I do wonder to what degree this is true

There are claims that other animals see more colors than us. But what if that's not actually the case? Maybe conscious minds are only capable of seeing the same rainbow that we do

The mapping could be quite different, and even if you can't add more letters to "RGB" you can add more letters to "HSL", making things look neon, stereoscopic, brushed, iridescent, hyperbolic, etc. But perhaps what we see is already all the possible "base" colors?
Nobody knows about future jobs for Prompt Engineers, but I suppose that such a job should require reading the new techniques and papers about LLM and be able to discover what type of context is better, so categorizing, clustering, A/B testing and some math skills could be good to have for such roles. I

If I was to interview someone for Prompt Engineering at least the candidate should be able to look for information in the web with the least effort, that is you should be able to collect important information with the minimum number of queries.

> the classifier is just reflecting that because it was trained on public data

Are you suggesting that the cause here is that there are a lot of racist images on the internet visually depicting black people as gorillas?

I assume that is not the understanding of most people here who are questioning what makes this racist, because if that is indeed the cause then I agree it is obviously racist.

Is it the cause though? I would be interested to see some evidence or rationale, because I don’t think I have ever seen an image like this outside of perhaps a handful of very old hand drawn propaganda images (which presumably would not affect the classifier much due to being overwhelmed by the vast number of images of real people and real gorillas).
should be able to measure that with the same lasers, I would think.
I see what you mean - for a while, the best chess was played by humans aided by chess engines. But that era has passed, and now having a human trying to aid the best chess engines just results in worse chess (or the same, if the human does nothing).

But whether there a few humans in the loop doesn't change the likely outcomes, if their actions are constrained by competition.

Did they actually find the AR-15s with illegal modifications? If I remember correctly, the FBI said they were "destroyed in the fire" and the witness that said they heard automatic gunfire from the compound which kicked the whole thing off either retracted their statement or was found to be unreliable. I don't remember exactly, there were a few of these in the 90s and I don't remember anyone really trusting any of the investigations. One of the last times this country agreed on something.

I suspect the challenge is not in getting that particular feature to work in isolation (which I agree seems trivial). But rather, in getting it to work in a way that integrates with the 10,000 other decision boundary problems that a large-scale AI system needs to be able to navigate.

That is to say: not so challenging that they couldn't have got wrapped by now, if they cared enough to do so. But not necessarily trivial, either.

You’re looking at the reference page for the ‘color’ property, but that’s the wrong thing: all this stuff belongs on the page for the <color> data type; and that’s where it’s found: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value.

Same as calling something a Japanese knockoff 60 years ago, or a Chinese knockoff today.

Or "dollar-store leftover", or "generic supermarket brand"

Humans like to insult by comparing the target to something perceived to be inferior. AI is perceived to be inferior humans for most tasks, so we can be prejudice against AI (and without the discrimination societal pushback.)

Wait till AI catches up, then "a Japanese knockoff" becomes a complement.

Or AI becomes a societal group and you become a social pariah if you use their name in a mean-spirited way.
I think it's easy to poo-poo people spending their income on a bunch of material stuff, especially as someone who hardly consumes and saves my money neurotically.

But in the US we are indoctrinated to believe that conspicuous consumption is the best thing we can do for our country. Saving hurts our economy and spending drives it forward. Every mainstream economist talks about savings rates like they are a bad thing.

The system has been engineered to simultaneously require people to save a majority of each paycheck in order to live well after they are no longer useful as laborers, but also we are constantly told to spend spend spend.

I say this just because I don't think that it is productive to place the blame on individuals within the system instead of the system itself. I think your analysis is correct though.

> it's incredibly irresponsible (and probably racist) as well as dismissive of actual racism to pretend that's racist.

Because of the entanglement of people who harbor individual racial animus and the systemic factors that lead to disparate outcomes for people of different races we are in a bad situation vis-a-vie language, but I think this isn't quite right.

I agree there's no reason to believe the engineers involved had any prejudice (i.e. individualized animus against non-white people). It's the result of under-testing or corner cases or whatever. However, the system is definitely racist.

It's racist in the sense that it has an adverse impact on people of different races (white people will not be mis-detected as gorillas) and its racist in the sense that there must have been racial imbalances in development (one struggles to imagine this being launched if all humans were being detected as gorillas for instance). This doesn't require any prejudice on the part of the people making it - it's just a fact that we can observe that it has disparate racial impacts and that choices in its development have led to a product that is unevenly useful to people of different races. It's also clear because facial recognition systems perform worse across all measures on people with darker skin (not just on this metric) - it's not like the accuracy rate is the same but the mistakes are different.

Also, of course, yes - people will point out that different skin tones interact differently with photographic technology and algorithm designers are fighting an up hill battle. It's true! We have historically been good at solving the challenges of capturing images of light skinned people better than dark skinned ones. That's racist too! It's hard to not build a racist system when your tools already have racial bias. Again - pointing out the racial bias in this system is not an indictment of the people who built it. It's an indictment of the world it emerged out of and a bookmark to come back to when you see people using the outputs of the system.

I'm reading between the lines a bit to try to answer, so if I missed your question or your intent please just point it out and I will adjust my answer.

32-bit is extremely useful. For intel, 16-bit is also very useful. The problem is that there is a strong divide between the people who find 32-bit and 16-bit useful at Intel, and the people who feel a need to force everyone onto UEFI "Class 3+" [1] and that everything else must be squeezed out, shamed, and moved to an emulator.

It sounds like Arm 32-bit support might be around for a while. I mainly wanted to clarify that Intel is dropping their 32-bit and 16-bit support.

The varjo xr headsets use the eye trackers to auto adjust the IPD mechanically the moment you put the headset on.

Considering that most production in space (with even near future launch costs) would mainly only be worthwhile if the resources were also obtained from space, I don't think radiation shielding will be as much of an issue, since if you're doing ISRU, you can gather enough mass around the facility to handle shielding.

For chip fab in particular, since current processes require a lot of water, and water is very good as radiation shielding, such a facility in space would probably just store water in the walls.
I led a team of 18 designers with several managers in between, supporting large web and mobile products. Chances are you or at least someone you know uses them regularly.

I feel people in the UX profession have a chip on our shoulder and suffer from an inferiority complex. Mind you, to be a really effective UX, you have to be exceedingly intelligent and competent and I'm not questioning the value of what UX people bring to the table.

However, we shot ourselves in the foot by not keeping in check of our ambition and overselling our value to the broader enterprise.

To have better control over the product outcome, we asked to be engaged more upstream sooner and have a seat at the table with executives at the planning stage. And we got it.

For better or worse, UX / Design has been very successful at inserting itself everywhere in the business process, from start to finish. The genericization of our job titles reflect this growing ambition and organizational footprint.

Web Design -> UI Design -> UX Design -> Product Design.

The empire building also continued through the invention of new subdisciplines: DesignOps, then more recently ResearchOps.

It's all well and good, until an overreach happens and you're encroaching into territory that has already existed. For example, UX research asked to do work that traditionally fell on specialized experts, like industry / sector-specific market research or generative research.

Another example is hugely-staffed design systems team with over-engineered systems & control processes that are difficult to use, contribute to and maintain. Mind you, some have their own UX engineers that sit outside the engineering org.

As a result of all these, it has also become exceedingly difficult to hire a perfectly "T-shaped" person, because they just don't exist. (at $130-$150k/year).

Lastly, there's no craftsmanship in the profession anymore, at least not in-house.

Most good designs that you see are still done by outside agencies, who still operate their design shops tightly, hire for very specific skill sets, use project managers (gasp), and waterfall (gasp).

I left my job partly because I realized I had turned into a person espousing very things that I hate in the profession. (I also needed a career break after working nonstop for almost 20 years.)

You get a concurrent request processing spread across all of your cpu/vcpu cores out of the box. The fallback controller pattern for error handling is incredible for boilerplate error handling.

In Pursuit of a Better Book
I won't argue that JS doesn't add something to the web experience. My main reason for having JS switched off by default is because JS adds something to the web experience. Namely, a whole load of annoying things like outrageously illegal cookie banners, adverts over the top of the content you're trying to read, auto-play videos on an unrelated topic when you just want to read the article, paywalls, "invitations" to have notifications or sign up to a newsletter, browser fingerprinting, active tracking, and outright malware.

It's a signal to noise ratio thing. There's a small reason to have JS switched on and a large reason to block it. I'd love it if the reason to have JS switched on was even smaller, and that is in fact the recommendation (that JS should enhance an otherwise functional site). I enable JS on sites where I regard the reward as worth it, but most of the time it just isn't, and I don't trust all the rubbish that gets included in the average site.
One issue that makes it more inconvenient is there's no CI set up for this.

Fortunately my meeting was a meeting I had arranged so I beat feet and changed my URL to the default auto-generated URL before the rest of my participants arrived.
