> While helping others out when they demonstrate need is action, it’s usually just called being a decent person and you don't have to limit it to artificial racial boundaries.

100% But back to the context: controlling for racial disparity. If your answer is "just be nice" then you're choosing the "wait it out for 100's of years" option. That's totally your prerogative, and I personally flip flop between the two in terms of which I think is better for society.
Given that LLMs fail to give consistent answers to the same questions, how does that factor into these studies?
The Undercover Economist book mentions these. They're honest but they're publicly embarrassing for governments in auctions with few bidders, because sometimes there would only be two bidders, one bidding $100k and one bidding $4, so people were wondering why the winner who was bidding $100k was only paying $4 for a license. [0]

The book goes on to describe the UK 3G Telecom license auction[1] and explain how it went much better. In summary it was more like a typical auction but instead of bidders proposing bids, the price went up gradually and the the bidders did something like stay as the price went up or leave when the price went too high for them.

Have some respect.
This thread [1] covering the 2020 Prize in Economic Sciences, awarded to Paul Milgrom and Bob Wilson for their improvement of auction theory, is a good read.

Vickery Auctions are one of many in the auction format bestiary, and like all classical formats, they predate both computers and modern auction theory. What's really cool these days (and I'm admittedly biased since it's my space) sits at the intersection of computer science and economics. Economic mechanisms and auction formats that use everything from SAT solving and combinatorial optimization to machine learning and function approximation to drive better real-world economic outcomes.

> viewport was only certified for 1300m

The 1300m rated viewport was on the (retired/rebuilt) 1st gen sub, not the one that failed. If you pay attention to the photos, the Titan has an obviously different viewport.

If you are this mistaken on such a simple matter of fact, please look inward and maybe reconsider being so assertive and judgmental.

As opposed to line buffered, I assume? That sounds annoying, but why is it a security problem?

I'm not up to date, but I think last I looked, I had the impression that randomized hashes didn't seem like they would fundamentally prevent collision attacks, just require more sophistication. Is that not the case?

I'm not sure that really changes anything other than at any one time wishing you were on the other side.

If you can have 1% of stuff down 100% of the time, or 100% of the stuff down 1% of the time, I think there's a preference we _feel_ is better, but I'm not sure one is actually more practical than the other.

Of course, people can always mirror things, but that's not really what this comment is about, since people can do that today if they feel like.

I have a slightly orthogonal take.

I am not a programmer (yet). A long time ago, I wanted to get into photography. I researched equipment, effects, lighting, etc. Then I happened upon a blog run by a photographer.

His advice - Are you creative enough to know the subject, what to photograph, what kind of results you want? If yes, you could always start with an iPhone and once you hit limitations, you could augment it with equipment which you build over time. He did cite some great examples of flickr photography done on iPhones and I was sold to the idea.

IMO from a layman's perspective, we should (try to) perfect our trade, tools we choose later to whatever suits our style.
I don't see how investing will save the industry from decline. If there was more revenue to be had, the legacy players wouldn't be struggling so badly. Investors chasing profits are just going to build a better Buzzfeed, not a better NY Times. Unless someone can crack the nut of profiting off of serious journalism and making the average TikTok scroller or Joe Rogan listener exercise a little more skepticism and understand the value of quality.
We do provide the data for vulnerabilities, at secdb.alpinelinux.org.

The security tracker is a tool for the security team to remediate vulnerabilities.

The data provided by it is not particularly useful nor intended for consumption by people other than the security team and alpine package maintainers: it generates reports for possible CVEs to review and possibly mitigate in the package collection. The presence of data in the tracker that is not present in the secdb (either as an ACK or NAK) is just an indication that there is a vulnerability to investigate, not that anything has been confirmed or denied. Really, the data is not relevant as a product for end users to consume.

The secdb outlines what package versions fix what CVEs, and what CVEs have been formally NAKed. Speculative data from a distribution-wide vulnerability scanning tool is not useful data to be making security-related decisions with.
I am looking forward to this coming out.

The playbook works and the more boring the better. If you are doing something on the edges of computing or industry than hooray - you are off the beaten path and it's your time to shine! You can be the one writing the playbook in a retrospective, but please don't try to make a boring application in a boring industry exciting by being unorthodox. I don't want to be excited and interested in how you solved a basic CRUD implementation - I want to intuitively know what it's doing before I even git clone your repository.
SF City Economist Egan took a more careful look and estimated that SF's housing prices could be changed significantly by adding 100k housing units [https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/leveling-sf-housing-field-co...]. Maybe in some markets, like Venice Italy, you could make housing a lot cheaper by enacting a total ban on tourism. But I remain unconvinced that tourism in general or AirBnB in particular is a major factor in general. We can see from Egan's study that it isn't in San Francisco where tourism is our #2 industry, it's impossible to believe that across the country and around the world travelers are meaningfully preventing locals from finding a place to live. People just don't travel that much!

Also, this trick only works once. After we've eliminated global tourism to add fewer than 5% more houses globally, we cannot do it again next year and forever after to keep prices down while we continue to allocate increasingly more of society's wealth to the fixed supply of housing.
I’m currently working on that :)
You just described that AI will help... But not do the job. I think that's the definition for job. Anything that the person is left doing is the job part. Anything machines or AI etc does is not the job anymore. As machines help more, jobs become different.
One issue is it isn't applied fairly. I know a Chinese-American who inquired into AA and was turned away because he wasn't a "traditionally disenfranchised" minority.
I think it's really cool what they implemented. At least in v1 it was a sort of inverted ORM; it gets pushed object updates and does relation fixup(an Entity Framework term at least) as they arrive. It even looked like they created a decorator based lib with a syntax very close to ORMs so they could define relationships on the FE objects. Also, a huge fan of MobX.

But, man it looks like it has gotten really complicated and.. Well I guess this is the sort of thing you get to do as a technical co-founder of a company with traction. That is to say, Linear was just OK to me and none of these sync features seemed to raise it above any other issue tracker I've used. With the added downside that loading the workspace from the pub via the webapp could be excruciatingly slow.
> In other words, the student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual — not on the basis of race.

You... can't. Even if you want to only consider the individual experience, race is deeply tied up with the individual experience. If you only considered race, that would be even more crazy. But you cannot just ignore race, as much as you want to.
> Well, if we follow the meritocratic ideology that everyone has the same opportunities available to them, it would be a natural conclusion. There is nothing that inherently causes a specific skin color or gender to have the ability to capitalize on an opportunity.

But why divide things along skin color? There are so many ways to group people, income of parents, whether they are from single parent homes, history of severe illness in family line, … etc. No one seems to care about equal outcomes when it comes to such groupings though.

Racial discrimination has been explicitly illegal, and affirmative action - as currently practiced - is racial discrimination. You're right that it's not legislation, it's straight up illegal. The courts have been tying themselves in knots around this but somebody finally just read the law. If Congress wants to make some kinds of racial discrimination legal, they need to actually pass a law saying so.

The original usage of the phrase is reasonable enough[0], but that's not what this lawsuit was about.

I have inherited nothing from my parents except financial help with my college education. My dad is utterly in debt from funding his 7 children's college educations because he believes (correct or not) that that is how you set your kids up for success. He will likely die barely out of debt. I am white. I have worked for everything I have. I bought an auction property in the low income neighborhood in my city and have invested blood swear and tears and financially to the point where I am in debt for years to come to turn it into a nice property for the neighborhood. I do not take my privileges for granted. Do I deserve your scorn?
"When WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook, they had 35 engineers. They were able to do this in part because they didn't "follow playbook," and while you probably can't go that extreme..."

Not to beat a dead horse, but is 10x about 9x or 11x? Or is it about "a magnitude more output than others" (10x)?

You don't necessarily need to quantify that exactly. If you've worked on a team with people like that, then you know it. Their managers know it too.

To your main point, the size of the markets is drastically different. There is only so much room for headline rockstars and entertainers, but there's way more room for talented technologists. Having "rockstars" in the engineering world doesn't really reduce the size of the pie for others.

This _was_ very much enshrined in German society for the longest time, many people growing up in the 1980s or 1990s had parents that had witnessed WWII.

Germany is very densely populated but mostly smaller towns and cities and people tend to stay put more, so there's a lot of local history/memory. Imagine small towns where a generation ago everybody knows several people that died in the war and those who stayed home experienced other hardships. The US has been spared this mostly, but even the US smaller scale foreign wars had a toll on military members.

I grew up in Germany, and up until the FIFA World Cup in 2006 I can't remember seeing any person fly a German flag outside their house! Nationalism was a very frowned-upon thing, mostly for "Neo-Nazis", understood to be a slippery slope that lead to wars. The same goes for politics, there was great debate every single time German troops were deployed abroad before ~2010, see eg [1].

But things may be changing, AfD is gaining more and more popular support indicating an uptick in nationalism to me and a stronger feeling of international "importance".

I guess you mean that he has been proven wrong before but if it was 2022 I'm sure he still stands by that statement.
Sure— the method of making the image, such as being AI generated, is entirely irrelevant in terms of IP enforcement. You could cut a cross-section from a log that had coincidentally formed the Nike symbol with it's rings, and if you slapped a picture of it on your line of sportsware, you better believe you're going to get owned.

But if they see an increased risk of IP violations from AI generated assets— and given the Getty red carpet debacle that's entirely reasonable— banning it will probably save them a whole lot of money on manual game reviews.

What do you think should be done to help underprivileged races?

The focus on race breeds inaction because we insist something must be done before we have any idea how to solve it.

Focusing on minorities isn’t helpful either because minorities includes demographics that are doing quite well.
Test scores and income are enough, as they are objective measurements.
Grades, as mentioned in another comment, are not consistent across different high schools, and they favor people with more resources.
Sports, as in play in the university team, which demands high performance, is also fair, and probably doesn't demand a lot of places, as you can't have a sports team with hundreds of people.

Horseshit and worse words. Computers aren't people. They create derivative works from pushing inputs through mathematical models. The inputs are unerasable and the claims to the otherwise by the AI hustler class exist only to be able to profit off human effort without paying for it.

I talked with NIH program managers and leadership about this quite some time ago and tried to convince them to explicitly fund long-term data hosting for science publications. The budgeting got complicated quickly: paying for a bucket with 25TB isn't a huge expense. Does NIH cut a deal with AWS, or GCP, or Azure, or (shudder) Oracle so they get discounts (these can halve or even more reduce storage settings). Does it go in long-term storage or live storage? And that doesn't even include egress- which in my experience, when you have lots of downloaders, gets expensive fast. Does NIH cover the distribution costs, or do requesters pay? Do people running high throughput jobs in clusters near the S3 storage get to work directly against the data or do they make a duplicate?

Their response in this instance was to fund SRA-in-the-cloud and other ventures, such as having PIs in well-connected locations like U.Chicago rent datacenter space in an exchange, negotiate very cheap hosting and bandwidth, and then give people access to compute and data either there, or in AWS (https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/news/university-o...)

So if they’re claiming they have the right to process data on the legal basis of consent, and they claim the absence of that cookie constitutes that consent, then they have no legal basis, and are thus in violation of the law.
In sealed auctions, you want to win by bidding the most. But if you win by more than $1, you could have paid less.

In this version, you just bid to win and the seller lets you adjust down to that perfect "just barely winning" bid afterwards.

It turns out the seller makes more by everyone bidding to win than they lose by letting the winner adjust their bid after winning.

That's because the 2nd place bid ends up being higher than the winner's used to be.
