Opportunity is not a boolean "have" vs "don't have". It's a probability distribution, and much of that probability is inherited.

The son of an investment banking executive has much greater opportunity to also become an investment banker than some rando dude from the street, even if it is remotely possible. That opportunity delta is real, and it's largely, almost entirely, due to family ties.

I would not say that I have the opportunity to become a billionaire, even though it is technically possible, but astronomically unlikely.
Harvard and similar universities are all about “donations” to the school, so yeah. It’s definitely an assumption of generational wealth.
I listened to the Sam Harris interview (the free part). I was disappointed that Marc Andreessen seemed to misunderstand the AI safety concerns of the alignment problem (undesirable subgoals of AI) and does not acknowledge the possibility that AI will use deception. I still think his essay is a good counter to the generally negative coverage of AI in the media and from effective altruism communities. I think catastrophic AI alignment is a much smaller risk than the people who own the AIs being unaligned (arms races with hostile countries, terrorists, other antisocial people using AIs).
That just shifts the problem, because then you only need the encrypted token instead of the cookie within it.

This is a fundamental limitation of client-side authentication: it's only enforceable insofar as the browser wants to enforce it. You can protect your token in browser memory from pages on other origins, by relying on well-known behavior of the same origin policy sandbox. But you can't protect it from a modified script on your own page, or an alternative client (like curl) that fetches from the API directly and has no same origin policy.

This comes up all the time, like when Snapchat wants to prevent unauthorized API usage but needs to ship a key in the client bundle, or when Google Maps wants to rate limit requests from an origin. Anyone with root (or really any external observer of the client sandbox) will always be able to obtain the key, or change what they do with it. So Snapchat can pin its HTTPS requests, but users can disable pinning on the client. And Google can reject requests from an origin that doesn't match the provided site key, but only for requests sent from a browser that enforces the same origin policy.

In most cases these limitations are "good enough," but front end devs can sometimes get careless and store what should be a server side secret on the client side. This is why products often have a "site key" and an API secret - they have distinct purposes because the site key should be assumed public.
Two other reasons:

1. You learn what you don't know about the topic or things you assumed you understood but really don't (a comment by @Swizec identifies the Illusion of explanatory depth; TIL)

2. You learn what things you thought you "knew" that are either contradictory or unfounded.
It's a really strong indictment of the state of journalism that "I read it on reddit" has become sufficient to turn into a news story.

The internet is flooded with content right now to the effect of "Valve might be doing this thing", but not one of those sources has actually reached out to Valve for comment. Instead they all cite a random commenter on Reddit (or they cite each other).
This sounds like Parkinson's Law applied to software engineering organizations. I also wonder if the larger organizations actual goals have anything at all to do with efficiency in software engineering / practices. I've been inside of some very large teams (400+) and the stated goals are never the real goals, they just happen to be aligned to some degree and so it sort of works.
It's great idea to put all your company code though, free breaks.
Or fighting a legal battle (which they will hopefully fight and win), or leaving the jurisdiction and then saying "good luck with that, let's find out how much of your companies' revenue we were driving".

That sounds like it's equating Utah's taxing to total U.S. road funding, to which I say both "duh" about the result and "that can't be all that's going on in the report if it's about Utah, so there must be some disconnect in what we're talking about."

The context we were in is Utah gas taxes and how much it affects road funding that Utah does. Were you referring to something different? I would assume that Utah gas taxes, if they are intended to fund road work, would go towards state roads in Utah (but that's just an assumption, which is why I was interested in the source).
Which is a horrible strategy for personal growth. The strength of your opinions should be modulated by the strength of their justifications. My opinion about the shape of the earth is and should be stronger than my opinion about the hilliness of sao tome and Principe.

It also leads to situations where people with skills not associated with truth finding can be more persuasive than they should be - eg charismatic or comedic people will be able to more readily persuade you than people without those skills, even though there is nothing about those skills that leads people towards more correct opinions.
Tax loss. It’s not complex - capital expenditure is taken off the tax bill, so there’s people for whom these machines are phenomenally expensive and there’s people for whom they’re just a cost of doing business they’d be paying anyway. Apple know what they’re doing producing them.

Author talked to a handful of people, none of whom are using PCI cards or complex workflow. Even when he talks to the video editor who is using a MacBook for editing, he doesn’t consider that video has to be ingressed in a professional way, he’s just editing it. There are a bunch of use cases for this Mac Pro, and the author has committed a fallacy in saying “there are no use cases for the Mac Pro” just because he didn’t find anyone who needed one.

Yeah people can use Linux and windows workstations, sure. It would be trivial for Apple to abandon that sector of the market and stick to devices. I’m pretty sure that once the Apple Vision headset comes out, and perhaps a generation or two down the line with wholly-Apple chipsets, certain people will be clamouring for Mac Pros again (i.e. - stereo feeds from phenomenally high definition video cameras to provide content real-time…). But by all means stick with your shade throwing and sarcasm, what do I know, I just have 25 years experience in the industry.
Someone might correct me, but I believe that’s what France did.
I'm not sure that I even beleive in "Big Aspartame". The patents have expired, so there are dozens of companies who manufacture it globally. I doubt that they all meet at their global secret cabal hideout to align their plans to extinguish all research.
It is way too soon to really have an opinion on whether or not crypto will live up to the hype.

FWIW, I've been recommended a lot of videos from the recent Bloomberg Invest summit. There are tons of people from traditional finance (e.g. Goldman Sachs), Hedge Funds, Private Equity, people from the Fed, SEC, etc. The main questions they've been asking are related to inflation and interest rates but crypto comes up in almost every single conversation. Mostly crypto comes up because of the FTX fiasco and questions about regulation (also regulation related to recent bank collapses like SVB). But the constant refrain is "crypto is clearly here to stay".

The prevailing narrative seems to be that the adults are going to come in and take it over. Finance works very slow, but like a glacier it also has tremendous mass and therefore power. What is absent in the conversations is the snide derision and outright dismissal I often see on HackerNews.

I think we focus here on NFTs, shit coins and other token IPO scams. But the finance industry seems to accept some kind of digital currency is inevitable. There is going to be insanely big money to be made in that space.
…Why do we want local distributors? Open to changing my mind, but that sounds more like actual efficiency gain from vertical integration.
My understanding was that the complaints was against using larger excerpts. I haven't used neither Googles nor Metas offerings, but the objection that I read in a different article was about users reading the news on Facebook, rather than letting the users click through to the newspapers.

If Google and Meta just generate free traffic for the news site, then I'm not really sure why they're complaining. If their write is straight up reproduced without permission then I understand.
The way you analyze statistics matters too. For instance most don't cross-reference crime statistics with economic background and see how drastically that affects any prior (likely racist) conclusions.
In general Perl fits that niche for me better, but sometimes awk is what you have.

unlike creative industries, there's a fuckton of toil work that just needs to be done automating processes. the playbook style excels there, and unlike artistic work there's not really room for memorable standouts that break the rules.

music will always have the quality where good novelty is impressive and breaks boundaries. business processes less so. prince can (could) deliver a stellar rendition of purple rain that breaks the bonds between heaven and earth even though you've heard the song before, but ain't nobody delivering a stellar automated check deposit workflow execution that stands out from the rest.

Stakeholder theory?

You (we?) are some of the minority of humans that value journalism. Unfortunately.
> And then I think: you can't just stop doing a bad thing and pretend it didn't happen. You've got to try to make things right.

Here's where your thinking goes askew, you can't simply draw a boundary around a subset of people and declare that an agentic thing. Groups of people don't have guilt or automatic responsibility, only individuals do.

Thinking of very diverse groups of people as single entities is how you get sentiments like "Muslims did 9/11 and they must pay" without considering that the tendency-towards-9/11-ness might not carry over to the entire set of "Muslims". Less than half of Americans were even alive in 1971 and no one is alive from the days of US slavery.

Thinking "those who have inherited benefits due to negative treatment of African Americans should transfer wealth to the descendents of those African Americans" is a separate idea to race based affirmative action. Race based AA would see the children of a pair of Ukrainian immigrants put below the children of a pair of Ethiopian immigrants, even though neither group has anything to do with slavery.
how many hours do you invest in this per book and per month?

I did this for a few months in 2017 but it was taking like 90 minutes per chapter, and at full saturday morning 8am attention! It's like doing math homework. And math homework is not the most important thing I can spend the best 90 minutes of my day on.

> You've got to try to make things right.

Well, ok, you should.

Now, favoring person A due to their skin color, at the expense at person X, because person B was once harmed to favor person Y due to their skin color does not strike me as a productive way to do that.

You can start to make things right by banning that shit about children of alumni, all the bullshit police behavior there, doing some real wealth redistribution, etc. You can go looking at individuals that were harmed too, but modern legal systems have a really hard time dealing with that kind of situation, so be prepared to cover new ground, and be wary of not creating larger injustices than the ones you are trying to fix.

Anyway, I'm far from the US too. The entire thing isn't completely academic to me, but it's close to that.
This is basically how eBay works for auctions.

A pair of headphones is currently bid up to $55, you place a max bid of $100, and at the end, if the final max bid among every else is $80, then you win them for $81.

Which is why I never understand complaints against eBay "snipers", who bid in the last couple seconds of an auction. If you put in your actual honest max bid, the timing simply doesn't matter.
All the code examples on this page are doubling any brackets ([], {}, ()). How have they managed that? Not a fantastic first impression of its capabilities...
Are you sure there are spambots here?
thx. me too!
I personally believe some sort of bonding period is great for remote people. I've worked in a kind of "worst of both worlds" setup where I went to an office 8-5 but I worked with a completely remote team (the office was basically a place for me to put on a headset and ignore everyone else).

But we met on a planned company trip (with the excuse of a Vegas trade show, we went and met one week early) and that helped immensely with bonding and team building.

If I manage a remote team, I'll push for a similar team bonding exercise whenever possible.
Sure, laws are human constructs.

But what is the situation in Canada now? Did they really put a law into place which says "When you link to a page with a short excerpt to show what the link is about, this is now a copyright violation"?

Wouldn't that also make search engines illegal?

The use of race in elite college admissions was never about increasing the diversity of lived experiences, it was about being able to maintain a university filled with people from high-status backgrounds while outwardly appearing to be representative of the society they exist in.

It's trivial for them to get the diversity they want by prioritizing applicants from underrepresented school districts and giving a boost to applicants of lesser means, but this would result in them needing to make significant compromises in the prevalence of students from upper class backgrounds.

at that time yes, communists spilled much more blood than nazis.
2023 CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
They are vulnerable to collusion in the sense that if all partys collude to decide who is going to win, then the winner bids X and the losers never put in a bid, so the pre-determined winner pays $0. In that sense, literally every auction is vulnerable to collusion. The only net downside to the Vickrey auction is that the winner still wins even if there is a defector, they would just pay more. This is in contrast to say a normal first-price auction where the winner values at $100 and the losers value at $99, so they collude to have the winner bid $1 and the colluders bid $0, but then there is a incentive for the colluders to defect and pay $2 to get the thing they value at $99. So, vulnerable to collusion in this sense is more that it is vulnerable to collusion with little to no risk of defection. However, if there are non-colluders, then the best you get is the highest bid of the non-colluders.
JavaScript has never been and probably never will achieve any sort of purity due to the design decisions made in its debut. Frameworks can only paper over that so much.
Self modifying code in the sense of changing one instruction to another at runtime (as was commonly done in assembler in the 1960s) is not generally possible with modern Common Lisps mostly because modern operating systems don't allow it. And that's a good thing because such code would be hopelessly insecure and impossible to reason about.

But if you mean "compile a new function called X and replace the old X at runtime", that's easy in Common Lisp. It's not commonly done unless you're explicitly writing some kind of compiler.

What is commonly done is to create a lexical closure at compile time and change its bound values at runtime. IOW changing the private data of a function at runtime is more generally useful than changing its instructions.

What's most common is to write lisp programs that emit lisp source code and compile it at compile time (but usually not run time). Such programs are called macros.
But poor white people are poor for a reason other than the color of the skin of themselves and their ancestors. And black folks who are doing fine, but not great, might be doing great right now if not for the color of their skin. Sure, affirmative action based on income will accidentally sweep up some of the right people, but we know how to exactly target these programs, even if we're no longer allowed to.
Do y'all have plans to release the model for those who have 16gb graphics cards? (I'm assuming the model is fp16?)
It's telling that not a single reply to your comment actually engages with the question about poor smart white kids. The answer is simple: poor white kids are the outgroup, and "mainstream" American society would like them to kindly go away. They aren't wanted. Society has no use for them.

I know a dude who got a nice package from a pizza company to be CTO + lead programmer. I think he has a few people under him, but the bigger deal was that he could get a percentage of the $ saved.

He worked all day and night to get LLMs to take orders, in a month 40% of their orders are taken through the LLM. For a company with 100s of stores, this is a huge cost saving.

I don't see how it would be unconstitutional, but it would probably be illegal per the civil rights act.

Though now that you mention it, I looked at the article a bit more closely. It says that conservatives "...argued that the Constitution and the civil rights law prohibited discrimination based on race...". The civil rights law part makes more sense than the constitution part. But, the article says that the SCOTUS based this on the 14th amendment.

It's probably more complicated than this article makes it out to be.
You can definitely measure it. I've seen many times where people were struggling with problems for months with tons of operational incidents, before someone experienced came in and solved it for good in a couple of days.
The actual slow part is the source code analysis (that is quite robust). Apart from that, I've never noticed any real slowness. I have an M1 MBA and WebStorm is quite responsive. I've not touched Eclipse since 2015, but I remember it was fast even then.
Technology will advance such that basic "truths" will be verifiable, leaving journalists as nothing more than storytellers. We should be investing in companies that empower people with the verifiable information they need to arrive at their own conclusions.
The Hawaii Superferry went bankrupt mostly due to political and environmental protests. Distance between the main populated islands isn't very far.
You’re correct that soft drink providers have no horse in this race as they are mere consumers of sweetening agents, and the their product output depends on customer demand. It would hardly make much difference to them if 90% of consumers started to prefer Diet Coke over Coca-Cola, they would just make more Diet Coke.

That makes intuitive sense. So I guess the more pulsars we measure, the more accurately we can disambiguate between different possible waveforms.

It reminds me of EEG (brain wave) measurement: a hairnet with 256 electrodes will have higher resolution than one with 128 electrodes (ignoring all the issues with interference of the skull).
First of all, contrary to popular belief you don’t need physical ID at airports, you can go through another process to have your identity verified, it takes longer but it’s trivial.

Second, any place that doesnt take Apple Pay is not a place you should do business at. Even lowly kiosks and vending machines accept Apple Pay now. The places that are NOT accepting Apple Pay are a red flag, they are doing something nefarious by holding onto the old system of credit card processing (there are benefits and incentives to use contact less payments and places that refuse are actively missing out for a reason, there is literally no good reason to not take Apple Pay).

I don't think it's so much about defending AMZN as it is recognizing what a weak case the FTC chose. It's going to amount to a mere slap on the wrist for Amazon, in reality. This suit does nothing to limit the velocity Amazon has in entertainment, retail, payments, cloud and so on.
