This probably makes sense.

Whatever he says is instantly Word of God, and will influence both the D language and the public opinion of it. Better do that in a well thought out message, e.g on the D lang site.

Meanwhile, he can listen to the HN 'jungle drums' and get a feel about what the public thinks. Even if the silent majority and the noisy opinions don't always agree, you can learn a lot about how to shape both the language and the public opinion of it.
>this whole Affirmative Actions seems to just be reversed racism

It is, but it is an attempt to right a wrong, which isn't an easy thing to do or measure. It's a moralistic endeavor and moralistic endeavors can become monsters in their own right.

>To me as an outsider, the US focuses wayyyyy to much on race.

It's become a political football, because of this, I think it's perpetuating it more than it would be naturally. Morgan Freeman articulated this well many years ago.

>Even asking for ones race or ethnicity in my country would be considered descriminatory as there can be no purpose for collecting that information that isn't descriminatory.

It's funny, this is done to ensure that historically oppressed races are measured for success / failure. It seems to support to your reverse racism comment.

>Discriminating based on race (among other things) is forbidden in the constitution, and that is absolute.

I agree, that's why AA was struck down. It's a clear violation of the 14th amendment. This was known at the time and known in the early 2000's (2003?) when this came up before. It's always been considered an emergency measure that would need to end because it was a clear violation of equal protection under the law clause of the 14th.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

It helps to be be entering areas where demand is exploding and the supply of experienced people is thin. I have a long track record of being fast to pick up the methods of new domains and I’ve frequently had people riding my tail to help them out with a project in a new domain, even if I wasn’t really that interested in the switch.

It’s a part of my origin story because the whole reason I left physics and went into software development was that I watched one of the best physicists of our time crying every night because he had no idea where his next job was coming from despite having written half of a very good textbook and numerous great papers. He made it big in the end but I had neither the tolerance for that nor the talent or motivation. I’ve had the occasional job search that took most of a year but I’ve had some that lasted 72 hours.

Thus I skip all the fancy programming languages and work in the big commercial ones in demand unless I get cash on the barrelhead. For years I avoided Python but I worked for a few people who needed “data science” so they paid for my education.
Is that what it really costs to forge a new, worthwhile publication?
I doubt very many people want any substance to cause cancer. People want the things they eat to be healthy and wholesome but they've learned that they can't trust the people making our food or our regulatory agencies to protect them. That's caused people to be cautious and distrustful even when there is little cause for it.

Apply ”lower level” approaches to your current job and get experiences you can talk about in application processes. For example, if you code backend C#:

- Apply “lower level algorithms” to tasks where it fits (if you find good use cases you will be seen as a genius by the other “high-level” programmers)

- Implement “lower level programming approaches” to solve problems. For example, there may be good use cases for emitting MSIL-code in parts of projects (for example where interfaces are injected, you could inject emitted classes on the fly for example in some instances). Again, you will be seen as a genius if you find the right use cases.

- Implement “lower level” communication protocols where suited, for example a home made UDP protocol where you benefit from not having a stream and some packets are not needed.
There’s a clear separation between the training process which looks at code and outputs nothing but weights, and the generation process which takes in weights and prompts and produces code.

The weights are an intermediate representation that contains nothing resembling the original code.
As a hiring manager, I'm not averse to hiring someone with non-domain experience for a domain-specific role with but I usually have a few apprehensions. You can make yourself a better candidate by pre-empting these questions:

* Were you actually good at your previous domain? (Be Good)

* Does this person know they actually like working in this new domain? Or do they just think it might be "interesting"? (Show some proof that you are already investing yourself in this new domain)

* Do they have a track record of successfully learning new things in the past? (Any other non-domain skills you've picked up that show me you can be successful doing that?)

* Are they at a natural career inflection point and a good time for a transition? (You just got a Masters, so this is covered)

Trying for a totally cold start is tough though. I would try to get a foot in the door via career fair or university contacts. Use whatever coursework you have completed in the area to show aptitude/interest. Good luck.
One interesting thing to note: whether you think software should be more like a “talent/creatives” industry, or more like a trade, one thing both of those models have in common is unions.
Sure, I got that aspect. For me the argument going the other way is:

1. Generally you don't need the excess range, and this thing seems like a relatively permanent modification, so you're dealing with the excess weight/bulk all the time, and getting the added benefit only when you actually need to do the long haul.

2. This Ducati thing is only 8 liters, and adds 40% to your range.

So a jerrycan would (more) easily be added/removed as needed, and holds 20 liters, doubling your range. You could even add two, to triple your range.

Also, there's the fact that a jerrycan costs about $40, while the Ducati tank costs... $1900!? Yikes -- yeah, I'm sticking with the jerrycan :-)
Same. It’s funny reading comments on here. Even gpt4 I think is just ok. Maybe the people who see these huge increases are more junior?
> Just as a child can swing their legs at the resonant frequency of a swing to pump up their sinusoidal amplitude, a very weak gravitational wave can pump up a ring oscillator if it's oscillating at the ring's resonant frequency.

So is it possible that a passing gravitational wave could initiate some natural process that otherwise might have not happened?
Definitely an unfortunate policy but isn’t it possible (at least in some cases) that doing so would taint the evidence of a problem that put hundreds of people at risk?
Yes, but all you need is arrows; see Category theory ;)
> If opposing "dictators and warmongers" is so important, why were European NATO members so unprepared for the 2022 war?

I refer you to my grandparent comment: "European thinking has recently realised", that unpreparedness being the main example of the realisation. IDK what you think you're arguing against, that Europe could have realised earlier that neoliberal oil-imports from Russia were not actually going to help peace? yeah, sure, but not what anyone was saying anyway.

> Germany (and thus Europe) would not have faced an existential threat to its economy and industry from 1000-2500% rises in gas bills.

Citation needed, both for "existential economic threat" and "2500% rise in gas bill". Both are ridiculous.

> 100% self-inflicted.

I think that it's nonsense in general that country A's invasion of country B is a "100% self-inflicted error" of country C.

> Had the sensible Europeans listened to Trump, Europe would now be secure against Russian threats.

That's certainly an opinion. Of all the points of view that I have seen today, that definitely is one.

> don't be surprised if America isn't so quick the next time to oppose dictators and warmongers on Europe's doorstep.

No, I won't be surprised at all if the USA elects a sycophant towards dictators and warmongers on Europe's doorstep. No-one will. You've done it once already. That's the point.

There are a number of alternatives to Google Glass in the market for smart glasses. Here are a few:

1. *Vuzix Blade*: This is one of the leading competitors to Google Glass. The Vuzix Blade provides a wide range of features such as augmented reality, connectivity to your phone and voice control.

2. *Snap Spectacles*: Originally designed as a fun wearable for capturing Snapchat moments, they have evolved over the years to incorporate more augmented reality features.

3. *Epson Moverio BT-300*: These glasses are more focused on augmented reality and are often used in professional settings for tasks such as drone piloting.

4. *North Focals*: These are smart glasses that look just like a regular pair of glasses. They provide notifications, navigation, and other features, all while looking stylish.

5. *Magic Leap One*: This is an augmented reality headset rather than a pair of glasses, but it serves a similar purpose in providing digital information in the user's field of view.

6. *Microsoft HoloLens*: This is another augmented reality headset that is more focused on business and professional applications than consumer use.

Did you change the way you worked to help facilitate it at all?

I get great results from Copilot, but that's because I do a bunch of things to help it work for me.

One example: I'll often paste in a big chunk of text - the class definition for an ORM model for example - then use Copilot to write code that uses that class, then delete the code I pasted in again later.

Or I'll add a few lines of comments describing what I'm about to do, and let Copilot write that code for me.

Did you try the trick where you paste in a bunch of code and then start writing tests for it and Copilot spits out the test code for you?

A few more notes about how I've used Copilot here:

- https://til.simonwillison.net/gpt3/writing-test-with-copilot

- https://til.simonwillison.net/gpt3/reformatting-text-with-co...

I've also used Copilot to take educated guesses at things - like an inline mini-ChatGPT - with good results:

- https://til.simonwillison.net/gpt3/guessing-amazon-urls

As with so many other AI tools, Copilot is desperately lacking detailed documentation. It's not at all obvious how to get the most out of it.
You may be right - I suppose that apart from my first point about ambivalence being the default, it doesn't necessarily apply to you personally. But it does apply to the general ideology this thread is addressing. I'm sorry if I grouped you in with views that you don't share.

You don’t have to make your code LGPL even if you statically link, though that is a common misunderstanding (sometimes a promoted misunderstanding).

If you statically link against an LGPLed library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application.

That sounds like a subtle mischaracterization of the leak to me. The leak sounded more like, "the teams responsible for tagging data uploaded by Teslas had access to data uploaded by Teslas". The fact that they could share them amongst themselves is also not particularly surprising.

While I understand the alarm, it was also completely unsurprising even based purely on the company's public statements about how they use data from the cameras.
> Why should the affected groups, or society at large, accept this? Why shouldn't we band together to try to make things fair in light of this fact?

That's exactly what the court just did. It prevented universities from being racist.
It does work. If you absolutely need to know if an image is AI generated, you can just have a central authority in the system watch the person draw the picture on a piece of paper. Or drive to your house and hand you the paper and pencil and watch you draw it in person.

There are workflows or system designs that absolutely can and will solve for human-verified creation, they just might be incredibly costly or unscalable compared to existing solutions. It's all just tradeoffs. Might make existing business models no longer work. Might open new ones.
There's many of us :)

I think what I’ve seen is that with the near hiring freeze at Amazon and a substantial slowdown at Google means that the next tier down of employers are having their pick of candidates that they might have had a harder time landing when Amazon and Google were hiring 5-figures of SWEs every year. So, even if everyone ends up being employed, the selectivity could still be higher than normal. I know we amped up our thresholds for hiring quality.
How? By having the kid get a smaller inheritance? Or by having the kid not having the privilege of having college educated parents?

If those are the metrics we're using, then use them directly: prioritize first gen college applicants, applicants whose parents rent, applicants whose parents don't have professional jobs. Otherwise, why should a poor Asian immigrant going to a crappy public school be considered "more privileged" than a rich Black kid who goes to Andover?

> if I have stolen money from you for years, stopping me from stealing further money doesn't repair the damage I've done. You would rightly expect your money back, or something of comparable value.

I guess, this may become quite natural with practice: eliminating contradictory variants. So it may be well a matter of first glance… (since it's really a matter of tautology and observations like "M = 1" aren't really a matter of thought, as soon as you've encountered this once.) Then you're left with just a few variants to actual think about and maybe try them to see, if they work. Which should become also more effortless with practice. Some of this "second layer" may reveal itself as soon as we've "cracked" the outer shell. So, I guess, you may be able to look at this and say, "well, E must be either 5 or 6 … and, well, it's actually 5", eventually, especially, as well known subproblems become some kind of idiom and we've learned to look for such possible vectors of attack.
It would be nice to see the MacOS-specific commands in a separate table (or somehow marked as such).

Why Apple doesn't want you to play games on Mac
It's no secret that when it comes to gaming, Windows is the major player in town. But in the last few years, Linux has caught up thanks to Steam. I find it ironic that nowadays you can run more games on Linux than Mac!

What's the purpose of Metal and all the big announcements Apple made, then? It seems as though they don't __want__ users to play games on Mac. I mean, how hard is it to do what Linux did in terms of gaming compatibility on Steam?

iOS games are great and all, but no one wants to play silly iOS games on a big Mac screen.
It is suggesting switching careers, yes.
You cannot have a world that has generational wealth and privilege while not having generational disadvantages. Your definition of victimhood is incredibly narrow here, and wrong.

Using the Federal policies is simply a stark example of how recently racism was aggressively state-sanctioned. The purpose of affirmative action is to help directly break the racist biases in a complex process to being able to attend college.

It is not a singular solution, nor is it a perfect one. I feel like you are attempting to topple AA since it's not a magic bullet to the complex problem of racism in the US. It is an imperfect effort in part with many others to try and tackle the various inequalities in the US.

Even if the US was able to have a truly holistic effort to solve racism and the wrongs minorities have experienced, what good does funding k-12 schools, scholarships, etc. do to help disadvantaged college applicants right now? Nothing. The common dissent is that if they are poor or otherwise disadvantaged then they should receive benefit from programs targeting those disadvantages. But those still are unable to directly address the various unique ways in which a black person with some set of disadvantages is different than a white person with the same checklist. The problem is simply too complex and the breadth of experiences of minorities in the US far too broad to be tackled any way but directly imo, which is what AA attempts to do.
Like the way a starving person's body consumes their own muscles, the local newspapers in Canada have laid off all their journalists. As a kid, I used to deliver the local newspaper to make a bit of money. I remember those Saturdays when the paper was like an inch thick and weighed a ton.

Nowadays, it looks more like a newsletter than a newspaper. My late roommate subscribed to the local paper up until the end of his life. At that point, he was really only interested in the crosswords and sudokus.

At a certain point, if you want a subscription service, why wouldn't you just do something like suscribe to Bloomberg News, then get all your news by going directly to their site rather than going through a search engine or aggregator. If you're looking at an aggregator, inherently you want to see many possible sources, including ones you may only read once a year. Nobody is going to subscribe to hundreds of separate sources individually just to read them once in a blue moon.

Ironically, the predatory and terrible academic journal industry is probably the only thing out there right now that comes close to getting this right. Rather than expecting anyone to subscribe to each journal individually, they give a bulk subscription to an entire publishing service that then grants access to many journals.

If someone out there offered a $20 a month service that granted access to Bloomberg, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, WaPost, Financial Times, all in one, I'd gladly buy that. But there is no way in hell I'm subscribing to all of those separately. Even if the aggregate price was cheaper, I wouldn't want to do that.
