Airplanes are not crushed though, they actually are overpressurized compared to their environment. In any case, the level of pressure differentials is huge compared to a sub.

In any case, I'm a basic scientists, so it's all I know about carbon fibres. Seems like a weird choice to start a composite with that needs to deal with pressure, love to be educated!
I imagine having automation to turn the panels vertical during a hail would have saved a good portion of them. I assume these already have motors for turning, so it should be relatively cheap.

Preferring one over the other doesn't take away what is and what is not a medical condition.

This is like saying "Having have fallen down some stairs and having climb a mountaing. I would rather fall down some stairs." in relation to someone the chances you got a head injury from just walking up a mountain isn't very likely. Realistically, you could fall down some stairs and not hit your head. You could walk up a mountain and fall down and hit your head - walking up the mountain didn't cause your head injury but was what you were doing when you did the thing that caused your head injury. You can be mugged and not even get Accute Stress Disorder (ASD) never mind PTSD.

> Get more life experience before you declare what’s not possible.

I highly suspect I have a lot more life experience than you. To the point that there is a reason why I know the difference between PTSD and C-PTSD. And that you can't even be diganosed with PTSD for 6-months after the event. Before then it's ASD.

I get your point, and I agree with it too. My comment is (trying to) say that in those cases we don't know that humans are any better!

Your other comment has some problems, but a better example is

fn collatz(mut n: bigint, mut v: Vec<...>) {

loop {

n = { if n%2==0 then n/2 else 3\*n+1 };

v.push(...);

}

}

As far as we know, we can't bound the memory usage of this program: and if any FM can do it as well then there's a million bucks on the table. But so far no human can do it either! And if your program relies on this program using bounded memory, from an engineering perspective you're kind of SOL no matter what.

On the other hand, if you're writing programs which humans are pretty sure they know why the properties they want hold (as we usually try to do, anyways), then translating this into a machine-checked proof can give you a lot more faith that the property actually holds and possibly even find flaws in your reasoning/implementation if there are any!
So I agree those are at least somewhat better from a moral point of view, but people still can’t use those as justification to keep using other models like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion.

Now back to the morality of the Getty and Adobe models: did those artists know their work was going to be used for training AI art models? From what I understand there are many artists who licensed their art to Adobe Stock who are upset that their work is being used for this purpose.

Keep in mind this is a usage of the art that literally didn’t exist when the artists licensed their art to Adobe. I would argue it’s a fundamentally different use case.

My problem with AI is that I just don't think it does the advertised task well. It really annoys me that the tech space in my area is increasingly 'embracing' AI* instead of things like Nix, Rust, Haskell, which are doing really cool things in the broader tech sphere.

A lottery doesn't guarantee randomness at all because the population is not evenly distributed. If you have 99 people apply who are white and 1 person apply who is black, the lottery is going to naturally favor white candidates by virtue of # of applicants.

Asking normal people to use Linux and OSS is a bit too much, but I think that Macbook sales have had at least a bit of help by being endorsed by the technical crowd.
F# is way nicer than C# (and Clojure is still way nicer than Java)

And I dont think F# failed, I just think it needs to find a way to hide C# and OOP better

But the language is doing fairly well, tons of educational resources, tons of videos on youtube , several nice projects on github, solid vs code mode, it is part of .net , but still a lot can be improved, and microsoft is far from abandoning, C# is one of MS flagship products , F# is not a flagship product

And I also think that Don Syme is a lot more active working for F# and promoting it, than Rich Hickey is currently working for Clojure

> Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.

But this is affirmative action. What did they strike down?

Also god damn I hate this supreme court for overruling their own decisions. Even the ones I would personally benefit from. This is going to ruin the court in the long run for partisan bullshit. If going to the court twice for the same issue can get you different decisions then the ruling of the court means absolutely fucking nothing. You might as well just continue your affirmative action program because the next time the court makeup might be different and they'll change their mind again.

As someone of Hispanic descent this is very interesting to me. Affirmative Action probably helped my father, whose father was a construction worker and mother a homemaker both of whom dropped out of high school, get into college and ultimately become a doctor.

But because my father was a doctor, I had a fairly privileged upbringing. I'm a generation removed, but growing up in California always had to indicate my background on standardized tests and always checked "White" for race and then "Hispanic" for ethnicity (which is how all the tests asked it in those days, not sure if it's still the case), without thinking much about it.

I went to MIT, and to this day I wonder how much checking "Hispanic" helped me there and if I "deserved" to go. I was valedictorian and had a perfect score on the SATs and I feel like I was a strong candidate, but then everyone who gets into MIT is strong. And since I did successfully graduate then I guess it was fine that I was accepted, but I was constantly blown away and overwhelmed by the accomplishments of my peers there, and always wondered a bit if I belonged.

I've always had an identity crisis about what I am. I know in the current zeitgeist there's a big push for racial justice, of which being Hispanic and "brown" is a part. But it also feels totally irrelevant to me, personally, because of my upper class upbringing and elite education, and I feel like I've never really been discriminated against. Though I possibly have been discriminated "for", and benefited tremendously from it.

So I don't know how I feel about this change. It's certainly a big one, but in the long run, maybe it's good? I know I've always wondered if being Hispanic helped me get into college or into jobs, but the flip side is that other people must wonder the same...

There's only approximately 330 million of us, but yes, your main point is correct. I think that judicial activism has led to a perversion of both the legislative and the judicial branches. Why try to pass legislation that requires broad consent and lots of work when you can just bank on getting your policies through via the judiciary? At the same time, why constrain the judiciary's decisions on something as irrelevant and inflexible as the constitution?

Get hired by a subsidary of a US company. After a year you can apply within the company for an internal transfer (L-1 visa). As soon as you moved to the US you can apply for 'greencard'. That takes years but a L-1 is valid for up to 7.
Universities will come up with other justifications to keep their racial diversity high. If you’re from a certain area, single parent household, went to certain schools, etc.

Eventually some university will get sued for that, and we’ll see how the Supreme Court rules. I imagine it’ll depend on how egregious it is, and if there are any internal emails where admissions are openly talking about it.
It is important to note that Harward’s admission policy that is the subject of this case was designed to favor White students over Jewish ones [1]. Today it is being used to discriminate against Asian Americans.

Colleges are already prepared for this ruling. Many, such as the University of Washington have abandoned standardized tests because such tests compell universities to admit the kinds of students universities are trying to limit (Asian Americans).

Ok, naive question but I would dearly love to have an informed answer as another phone of mine is dying, it is still TINA and I can't for the life of me project how this will play out:

The first iphone was released in 2007. That's like 15 years ago. People were probably toying with "smart" phones already few years before that. Its not that the world doesn't know how to manufacture smartphones and/or write software for them.

How come in 2023 there isn't an open source mobile phone that is reliable as a daily driver phone? With a financially healthy entity behind it. NB: It doesn't matter if its android or linux or firefox os or anything else.

Surely there is a market for such a device. 1% of a billion is a big number.

Is it because (pick all that apply or please add the true reason):

* Are manufacturers a cartel and won't allow breaking the duopoly? (Doesn't seem plausible, Samsung toyed with Tizen)

* Are governments happy to strike deals with the duopoly? (Doesn't seem plausible, at least in the EU)

* Is it the telecoms that somehow don't want this to happen? Why would that be?

* Is it the FOSS community that can't get its act together? (Doesn't seem plausible, both F-Droid and e.g., KDE mobile communities seem more than on top of supporting this)

So where is the bottleneck? A free mobile device is maybe the most important piece of technology one could have at this moment. I can imagine various actors that would not want it to happen but at the same time all sorts of other actors that would very much want it to happen.
It steers you pretty heavily toward functional programming.

This is the problem. We need to start regulating these industrial chemicals with the assumption that they are unsafe to discharge into sewers/wastewater until proven otherwise. The opposite approach (banning or regulating discharge of specific chemicals) just leads to huge toxic messes that need to be cleaned up at great cost later.

> What is it with English Speaking countries and like the UK, US, Australia, now Ireland?

It's a totalitarian reaction to the internet. It used to be enough to wield control over the media in general to control the public, but that can't be done anymore. They have national security, hate speech, copyright and child pornography laws that they can try to replace that with, but they have to be forced through some sort of democratic process in the west that can lead to them being noticed. The last resort is training people to be brownshirts and pinkertons, but there's a reason brownshirts and pinkertons are sent into crowds with clubs - they're not too smart. It doesn't work on the internet.

There's a need to shore up speech laws, anti-encryption laws, and regulation on private speech platforms so they can simply jail or fine people into silence.

>Producing what National Geographic magazine does is not cheap

Nobody said it is. But what it used to cost to run it in the times of media excess and a much larger subscriber base, is not really reflective of what it can run on and still get good stories today.

Today though photo reporting and writing is much more competitive and cheaper than it has been, even at the top. Glassdoor puts NatGeo salaries at a $65K median.

And freelancers sent on a story are paid like 20K or so for 3 weeks salary plus expenses (for Americans. Regional freelancers can usually be paid even less). That makes 5 such stories per issue at 1.2M (internal editing, processing etc is already covered by regular staff, as is more generic articles that are not in the field assignments).

>even when presented with basic numbers.

Where are those "basic numbers"?
There are a lot of problems where people struggle to simply put the problem into meaningful terms, so they can think about it.

If you deal with the same problem space a lot, having a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) can let you execute that vocabulary and work at the level of the terms that fit the problem space best.

This is a lot smaller in scope than designing a whole programming language, think of it like a unique vocabulary for solving specific problems and automating specific kinds of work you do!
Remember how Dlang split the community into two when there were two different standards?

That story sounds very familiar to me ... I was working in Java but used Haskell for toy projects ... the amount of "if only Java had" thoughts were insane and I tried to do things with Generics that just weren't possible.

In the end I actually were able to use Haskell "in anger" for a work project ... that quickly cured me and actually getting things done in Haskell became the same slog.
My advice, you have three options:

1) Go above your manager's head and force a resolution. This is risky even in the best situation (let's say you have a relationship with the owner of the company, even then it is risky - they have to support your manager, in many cases, because they rely on them).

2) Just chill, try to do your best, and if your manager is doing something that is obviously making your life hard (like ignoring inquiries - I've been there, it sucks) confront them about it. Say "Hey, recently I've been asking some questions and haven't been getting answers. ..." formulate some non-aggressive, non-confrontational response. Warning: even your best response non-aggressive response will probably be seen as aggressive, because certainly your manager is either stressed out, or applying some biases to this situation.

3) Just ignore it, and continue on, and try to relax and not stress about a job that is probably a shit job. This is the hardest action, but it is the only option where the outcome is completely in your control.

Less "blindness" and more "active hostility" in my opinion. Unpopular updates? Bad licensing? Privacy problems? Just double and triple down. There's no realistic alternative, so why listen to those pesky users?

I absolutely loathe today's smartphone landscape. You can have a semi-locked-down phone from a company that wants you to put all your data in the clown, or you can have a fully-locked-down phone from a company that wants you to put all your data in the clown. Worse, the only alternative that had a chance just had to be Microsoft. Watching the horror show of post-7 Windows, I think we dodged a bullet with Windows Phone going nowhere.

The masses aren't going to flock to any potential alternative unless it offers something they find truly compelling.
How to write a STEM paper [video]
As a pretty experienced programmer,
who make a living by writing code for almost 10 year(with a CS master degree), I would like to say something to new learners of CS who need making money by CS skill in the future:

+ almost everything related with LISP is fun

+ but they have VERY limited use in industry, for very good reason;

+ you should try spend at least same amount time (as on LISP topic) to learn something like leetcode(or even higher level of competitive programming, which improve your skill of converting your idea to code fast and basic math thinking; useful in interview), job-oriented CS book. You'll be a better problem-solver and more ready in job market.

+ If you're very sure you will be financially OK, just learn anything you like and ignore this message.
Do "white" hispanics face the same issues as those of say Indian heritage?
It doesn't require humans to work for free — while that's been a common default MO since everyone looked at Google making a search index and thinking to themselves "if they're doing it surely do can we", there are data sets made by paying people.
What I noticed is that the privacy setting which should prevent OpenAI to use my data for training purposes, was already deleted twice and I had to set it again. No idea what that means and if the data that I entered before I noticed that setting was gone is now being owned by OpenAI. Anyway, it is obvious that privacy is no priority to them. Also, it's known that YC companies are informally being told they should not worry about privacy while scaling up. Open AI is not a YC company, but its culture is definitely derived from it.
