Did discrimination stop since then? Did the percentage of underrepresented minorities get balanced out since then?

My guess is not, in which case it would be justified under the principles behind it.

Having successful minorities that continue to produce success multi-generationally is a good thing. It brings people out of poverty, creates positive examples for people that look like someone who is struggling, creates more wealth in the targeted communities which can be spread around, etc.
Exactly, that's what I meant. E.g.

if very_rare_condition:
raise MyRareException

Java wouldn't compile (no exception instantiation), but Python would work fine in production until the rare condition happened (but not captured above, as it's a class, not instance). Cases like that justify 100% tests coverage in Python, but not Java.
Maybe I just hadn't noticed before but seems like NVIDIA is making some major plays in venture investing now (one wonders if it is in-kind with H100's or cash). There was this announcement and Runway AI just raised $141M today and NVIDIA is one of the investors. I wonder if they are prioritizing deliver of their chips to the companies they've invested in... I imagine in this environment that could be a serious strategic advantage (at least in the short term).

Sounds like you can print money out of thin air by creating social media accounts who post your "news". It may force the social media companies for proper policing the against fake accounts.
I might well be one of the very few people in the thread who can still benefit from prime shipping.

We have an Amazon prime depot about 10 minute walk from our house. The drivers can schedule their deliveries to us either to the beginning or end of their routes, and that shows: we get prime shipping for almost everything. In fact, trying to batch individual items into fewer deliveries is not necessarily even an option anymore. It's rare that I need the order in for next day, and I'd be happy to have the whole batch delivered in 2-3 days. But no, I get a small batch on next day, one item on day 2 and two more on day 3. There is no - or very rarely - option to select "all of these in one go, on day 3, please".

Then again, I live in UK, in the weird place that's both in London and in Kent at the same time. That said, when we do need next-day delivery, it tends to be available for about 50% of the time.
What type system do you imagine having that type signature? Zero being a value is usually exempt from the type system (unless we have dependent types, but I would definitely not call those ordinary). Of course if it’s a special type with only a single elem with no relation to int, then it is again trivial.
It prevented a lot more than that. They were not able to bundle software where Apple was able to include many things by default.

> they never end up visiting the actual news sites.

I don't understand anyone who just visits a general news site and reads arbitrary articles. I understand with physical newspapers, because they deliver it to your house in the morning and there was no alternative but to subscribe to multiple papers. I have to think that only senior citizens do it now. I only pay for outlets because I want them to be healthy and to continue publishing, and I don't personally care about some major city's establishment paper, and don't care whether it shuts down.
Agreed, I think OP will get there eventually but it's just going to take a lot of work taking into account the change of work domains.

I don’t think I’m defending Amazon so much as noting that Amazon does not have a monopoly on retail or even e-commerce.

I don’t think issues should be picking sides so much as seeking the truth.

Amazon had 38% of online retail market share [0] and only 9% of total retail market share [1]. So I think it’s going to be hard to show antitrust violations without some price collusion.

gofmt solves the right problem; complaints that it makes code boring are misunderstanding code.

If you want a different view on your code: write one. Code is the model. Presentation of code in an editing UI is the view.

Tools like gofmt normalize the model so that it's easier to build a view that re-represents it.
If someone learns to program by memorising and then re-using blocks of code, they're absolutely doing it wrong – but, also, they should be able to attribute their code.

Most of the techniques I used, I've invented myself (or learnt from the standard documentation). When I use a technique that I haven't invented myself, I look up where it came from. Half the time, my version is actually radically different (and my attribution is mistaken); the other half, I've remembered an inferior version, so I steal the better version and then attribute it appropriately.

That's one way it's different. There are others. Really, though, we should be asking the question “in what way is this the same as humans learning?”, expecting answers that would convince an education specialist.
Not sure I get it.

When it comes to exclusives, Nintendo is on a whole other level than Sony. I mean, you have to be a "gamer" to know that Killzone or Uncharted are Sony exclusives but Mario, Zelda, Pokémon and such are known by everyone. (Ask my mother-in-law what Gears of War is and she'll have no idea, ask my son and he'll laugh at you.)

Many of the Japanese games I like (say from Idea Factory) are out for Sony and PC but not for the Xbox. That's a big hole in the Xbox lineup but it's not about exclusives it is something else.

I don't see why Microsoft is so worried about Sony when the real opportunity is that Nintendo hasn't updated the Switch for 6 years. Retrospectively Sony giving up on the Vita looks like a big mistake and it seems something like the Steam Deck backed by a major company should be what's next but I guess everybody is intimidated by Apple and the iPhone.
I completely empathise with your situation.

Same experience here. I was getting fed up with every new gnome release taking away more features and at the same time was missing the niceties of macOS. Decided to give plasma a try and it quickly turn into my daily driver. No need for gnome tweaks, or even confit files, right-click whatever I want to change and there’s a setting to change it!
Even with permissive license, you'd need to respect attribution.
I'm so torn on GPL...

It prevents bad actors like Apple from ripping off people's philanthropic labor, but it also prevents me from ripping off people's labor. It also focuses effort onto the FOSS project.

I like PyQts solution of having GPL or buy a commercial license.

I suppose I still like MIT/Apache style the best. Even if someone rips them off, we didn't lose progress.
Dutch newspapers are back to subscriptions. They're doing better than ever.
If your product is good people will pay for it. And there will always be a class of people who need journalism. Politicians, government officials, bankers.

In hindsight the whole internet bubble looks strange. Nobody cared about monetisation only users!
Most non-GPL licenses require attribution. So, there are two real choices: either we consider that AÍ generated code doesn’t infringe copyright and we are free to use any code: proprietary, GPL, AGPL, or we have to attribute the generated code to all sources, and thus in practical terms your program has to carry a few thousand copies of MIT, BSD, Apache, etc licenses with different copyright headers.
Watching Lex interview two sides of an issue with VIPs is such a let down. He's like the average Youtube commenter, whatever was the last argument put before them is what he's agreeing with. If you spend 95% of your interview agreeing with Yudkowsky, then offer those rebuttals to Marc Andreesen, don't spend Andreesen's interview 95% agreeing with him too. You're offering nothing, so Yudkowsky and Andreesen should just be debating each other without you there.
The same argument could be used to defend image generation models. (And, personally, I'm favorable to that argument for both.)

Space-time is 4d array: array of framebuffers. You can stretch your mathematical model all day long, but you knowledge must be mapped to reality somehow. In model we have space-time, while in real world we have "physical vaccum" ("something nothing" or "phaccuum", for short). I prefer to name that thing "ether", because I like that word.

I don't see the problem. News outlets can now negotiate individually with Google if they still want the free traffic. Google will be paying $0 to them. Other outlets who don't want the free traffic from Google can choose to not receive it, as they can right now via robots.txt.
This is a new argument in the past few years and it doesn't make sense. You do not need a parent with a paid off house to go to college and be successful. I didn't have that and I don't know many people who did. My friends whose parents have paid off houses now did not have them back when the kids were going to college and how would that have helped anyway? Home equity loan instead of student loan? How often is that choice made? There are some rich families who manage to pass wealth on generation after generation but it's rare in my experience and not needed to succeed

I use an alternative that just directly calls OpenAI using my API key. I have it mapped to the command `ai` and it works really really well. So far I've found no need for any intermediary or fancy features. It just shows the command with a (y/[N]) prompt and I can choose to run it or not.

Why would you look for other signals when race in this example was the signal used for discrimination?

Suppose you use income. There are more poor white people than black people period. You could certainly help them instead of any black person. That may be more optimal depending on what your goal is, but if the goal was to combats racial inequality clearly that’s not useful.

There are plenty of products that have an unsweetened version, at least in my experience.
Even MIT licensed code requires you to preserve the copyright and permission notice.

If a human did what these language models are doing (output derivative works with the copyright and license stripped), it would be a license violation. When humans want to create a new implementation with clean IP, they have one team study the IP-encumbered code and write a spec, then a different team writes a new implementation according to the spec. LM developers could have similar practices, with separately-trained components that create an auditable intermediate representation and independently create new code based on that representation. The tech isn't up to that task and the LM authors think they're going to get away with laundering what would be plagiarism if a human did it.

The substack realm is very iffy to me. I think there's a few really sharp thinkers, but they are almost exclusively doing analysis and opinion. It's extremely hard to get primary sources talking to a blogger. You might think you're getting a fresh perspective, but really they are just reading a load of MSM sources for you and giving you a filtered version.

Sure, I don't expect everyone to be like me. I know not everyone can.

But everyone lived without air conditioning for all of human history until about a hundred years ago. The number of people who will die without it is much less than you'd think, and there are ways to keep cool without it that people used when they build houses, public buildings etc before air conditioning.

I'm not sure what technical debt you are referring to. Awk is designed to do one very simple job, and it does so using a language that I can usually teach to new SREs in < 2 Hours with 9-10 follow up tasks that drill in their understanding.

Can't speak for this tool yet, but ChatGPT has been great for this use case. Sometimes a tool doesn't have a man page, has hard to navigate docs, or whatever, "What does $flag mean in $tool" tends to work (when it doesn't hallucinate something totally wrong).

One recent example: "what does -w do on curl" .. not a single top 10 result on Google mentions it in the context, but GPT3.5 nails it in two seconds complete with a working example. I know "-w" is interpreted by Google in a special way, but frankly given the obvious context I shouldn't need to know how Google works. (Through experience I also know https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=curl+-w will do a good job, but ChatGPT actually provides a working example which is even better.)

That said, I do think you need a good critical eye to use LLMs in this context. It's like relying on a calculator. You still need mental math skills to know that 91 * 10 can't equal 2511. Similarly, when GPT starts hallucinating, it helps if you have a high sensitivity to smelling it out.
This is why although vaccines are an incredible tool, vaccination is not always sufficient in the long term, depending on the rate of recombination of the bug and other factors.

Although you gain a highly specific response to whatever was in the vaccine, you may weaken the general response which could later have saved you from a weird microbe that has features that are way different from what was in the vaccine.

Don't tell the antivaxxers though.

That is not even remotely how people in the real world think; most people who are even consciously trying to think about long-term consequences struggle to prioritize safety measures while they're being actively discouraged against prioritizing them.

Consider that if people were capable of internalizing that hitting a pedestrian was more costly than being 5 minutes late to work -- and were capable of consistently applying that cost-benefit analysis in their everyday life, we wouldn't need laws like speed limits in the first place.

The human brain is not wired to think about risk in that way. It is wired to respond to regular consistent punishments for braking by braking less often. It is wired to respond to irregular novel punishments for rare events like hitting a pedestrian by ignoring that risk.
> What I'd assume Valve is worried about is that it only takes one major decision against Stable Diffusion in court to suddenly leave us in a state where "this game used Stable Diffusion" is the proof that's needed.

Hard to see how any plausible outcome that would have that result for users of SD (if model training isn’t fair use, that’s definitely a blanket-liability issue for Stability.AI — and Midjourney, and OpenAI, and lots of people training their own models, either from scratch or fine-tuning, using others' copyright-protected works.

But “using a tool that violates copyright in the workflow” is not itself infringement; whether and in what situations prompting SD to produce output makes the output a violation of copyright (and whose) would be a completely different decision, and while Ibcan certainly see cases (such as deliberately seeking to reproduce a particulaflr copyright-protected element, like a character, from the source data) where it might be (irrespective of the copyright status of the model itself), I haven't seen anyone propose a rule that could be applied (much less an argument that would justify it as likely) based on copyright law that gets you to “used SD, in violation”.

Lots of blanket ethical arguments about using it, but that’s a different domain than law.
Good question. There is no consensus on who is considered white. Nazis considered Jews to be a separate and inferior race. At one point in the US, Italians were not considered white. Irish, Greeks and Poles were not considered white at some point, and were discriminated against in the US. “No Irish need apply” (NINA) signs were common at one point in history.

I was curious how link taxes panned out in other places they were tried and found this: https://www.techdirt.com/2021/06/21/as-predicted-smaller-med...

I honestly figured it would not even help the big sites - users would have to start deliberately going to those sites directly without first arriving there through an aggregator/search. Apparently that’s incorrect for major news organizations though still true for smaller ones (which I guess have not enough brand awareness for users to directly go to the site). I guess as it long as link taxes appear beneficial for major news organizations that can afford to lobby for them, we can sadly expect this to happen in more and more countries.

IANAL but I understand that most Anglosphere countries outside the US have very different interpretations/not as strong guarantees of freedom of expression as in the US and some other Western countries. In countries with stronger protections I can’t imagine a link tax having legs. Given that a link itself is not IP/content (I think), what would be the legal basis for displaying it on a website requiring compensation to the linked site? Though I suppose there is some precedent for requiring link removal from eg Google through DMCA, it seems different because in that case it’s driving traffic to “stolen” content.
