Practically impossible. A sufficiently well-developed bot is indistinguishable from the least technically-savvy legitimate users that clicked on an ad.

> Apple Silicon is so far away from the existing gaming hardware (somewhat with regards to ARM, not discounting mobile devices, and the custom-built integrated GPU's with shared memory) that supporting games would add whole new complicated use-cases to their chip designs

My understanding of, say, a PS5 is that its architecture is the AMD x86 SoC version of apple Silicon: unified cpu/gpu/ram. If anything, the M2 units are closer to gaming consoles than anything else.

It takes a while to build these things.

My physics professor, David Blair, sketched out the design for LIGO and other detectors back ~1980 and the kinds of technology that would first need to be created in order to get there.

The big money and the big builds tend to be in the US (for now, at least, but empires always shift centres over the long time periods) but the ideas come from all over the world.

It's been a couple of hours since the incident. I think calling three years is premature.
How do they and you know this, when even the Federal Reserve doesn't have a clue?

Also, 100 yrs and a decade are ridiculously different time frames. So even if they and you know this, it hardly matters. Duration risk is real though.
I don’t see the “mismatch” reference. I admit that article is not great. I found a much better article at one point but can’t find it again.

I admit I’m dubious about the study [0]. It says:

> I show that ending affirmative action caused underrepresented minority (URM) freshman applicants to cascade into lower-quality colleges.

This seems like a potentially problematic metric. Drawing conclusions from this depends on the assumption that the applicant pool did not change. It appears that much of UCLA’s post-Prop 209 strategy involved programs to improve their applicant pool. I haven’t found good data, but it’s entirely plausible that the outreach works, the applicant pool has a larger (and less under-represented?) fraction of “URM” applicants, that a comparable number but smaller fraction are admitted, that a larger number and a larger fraction go to the lower-tier schools (Cal State and community colleges, for example), and that this is all a good thing.

IMO, society does not benefit when a too-small proportion of qualified minority high school students apply to top-tier schools and a too-large fraction of the applicants get in. (Of course, any admission scheme whatsoever ought to benefit those who are admitted, at least so long as second-order damaging effects from a problematic admission scheme don’t make going to the university in question worse than the alternatives and so long as the university is worth going to in the first place.)

It does appear to be the case, based on terrible but official data that I found, that the fraction of the UCLA student body that is black is similar now to what it was before Prop 209. But I could be misinterpreting what I found. (The recovery was very slow, which is unfortunate.)

A few suggestions:
- You can use a Brewfile to group all of your “brew install” commands into a single command referencing that Brewfile.

- You can avoid manually installing Docker Desktop by installing via the cask (brew install --cask docker)

- You can automate all of the other settings by bringing in your one-off shell commands into a script and using something like dotbot which allows you to bring in dotfiles as well as system setup type scripts.

I’m running a relatively similar setup to you, if you want an example of what I’m talking about, you can check out my dotfiles repo at https://github.com/jonwest/dotfiles
Yes, but hasn't there been also a big increase in certain cancers such as colorectal in young people, and researchers don't have good guesses at what could be causing them? The studies that I read ruled out screenings because it is happening in people decades younger than the first screening recommendations.
Yes. The same is true of any athletic pursuit. You have to build the habit first.

Want to strength train? Go and do a bench press. It doesn't matter the weight. It could be just the bar. Just learn the technique. Don't overdo it, you will be sore. Keep it fun.

<< What kind of reasoning is that?

It is not my intention to sound confrontational, but it is merely logical reasoning. The moment the decision is made based on race, the policy is racist. Just because it may benefit some groups over others based on race makes it racist. In other words, using logic of the parent, you cannot solve racism with more racism.

<< To the extent racism is solvable, that's done on the cultural level.

I am willing to agree. Personally, I did not think racism really existed until I came to US. I was aware of ethnic prejudices though.

<< My own view is that continuing to focus on race instead of moving past racial categories keeps it going.

Zero disagreement.

<< Ethnicities are real, but racial categories are social constructs (of varying ethnicities or ancestries over time) that only have cultural currency because we continue to allow them to.

Eh. Good luck having that conversation on most public fora or even with an average person. Merely suggesting along something the lines puts into question years of programming and to many it is a very uncomfortable conversation. And this does not even touch recent attempts to rewrite language to further confuse the matters ( 'race is a social construct', 'race isn't real, but racism is' ).

And just to confuse the matters further, allow me to throw another wrench into the mix. Ethnicity is real, but ethnicity itself is a spectrum. At best, it is a common range of genetic variables and there well may be uncommon ones.

Still, my original point is that it is all rather unnecessary distraction. Most people want effectively the same things. If you spend more than a 15 minutes reflecting on this, actual racism is a silly proposition.

Problem is: everything is racism these days. It makes things complicated as it is merely a social construct.
If Harvard were to go from a race and legacy aware policy to a race and legacy blind policy, 20 minority students who would have been accepted would not for every legacy student that similarly would not. That is, racially discriminating is 20x times larger of an effect than legacy discrimination.
I like when people complain about metro fares. What would the equivalent cost (and speed!) of driving be? Remember that you will need to pay for parking. The answer: Much more than 10 USD, and much longer than BART.

Also, I checked the fare between Powell Station and 12th / Oakland, it is 3.85 USD one way. So, 7.70 USD round trip. Crossing the bay twice at 100 km/h is pretty cheap at that price.
And I'd be shocked if the airline wouldn't have to compensate you for your lost property anyway (plus a little bit extra for your inconvenience).
I have a feeling that disbarment is much too rare in general and that there would be a lot more justice in our "justice system" if it were more common.
Okay, my situation is that I have a monitor that displays a larger than RGB color gamut. When I set an ICC profile for my monitor in GNOME, and go to a page that should be in an sRGB color gamut in Chrome in X, it displays it as it should look. In Wayland, it displays it in my monitor's native (wider than sRGB) gamut.

Similarly, if I go to this page: https://cameratico.com/tools/web-browser-color-management-te... in X, the ProPhoto and sRGB strips look different. In Wayland, they look exactly the same (in the monitor's native color gamut).

X is definitely more capable than Wayland is, at least with Chrome.
Your CV should provide examples of wins. eg decreased time to enter orders from 15 minutes to 5 minutes; increased widget production rate from 5000 / hr to 8000 / hr; reduced hosting costs by 5% to $1.5M, etc.

Your technical competence needs to be reflected in the business benefits you have contributed to. Even refactoring code can be a win if it speeds up things, reduces costs, increases profits etc.

Increased profits are always considered to be "good".
The legacy argument is a fallacy at this point. What's true is children of professors/admins get preferential treatment, as do 7 figure donors. Legacy has barely mattered for the last couple decades.
You are spewing incoherent nonsense.
OOP is very natural in F#, so it's not that. Interacting with .NET is not an issue. Interacting with a third-party library can sometimes be an issue, if they're doing a bunch of funky C# stuff. For my own use cases, I haven't needed to pull in a bunch of C# developed, third-party libraries. When I did, for example Silk.NET's window bindings, it was easier to just write my own. I couldnimagine that's different for some more industrial use cases though.
It's the most analogous process we have; the courts may not end up treating them the same, but it's unlikely they'll say it has nothing to do with how AI gets regulated.
I'm pretty sure "I was on a plane crash and the cabin crew yelled at me to leave my luggage behind, per safety regulations" works as an excuse in most contexts.

Yes.

University provides a sorting mechanism that allows others to quickly guess your skill level, competence, capabilities, and access to resources and understand where you likely fit into the societal hierarchy. Sure, it is not all that accurate, but it is the mechanism we have. Society is not going to stop using such indicators and providing different opportunities based on where others think you belong.

Granted, it is possible that university stops being that indicator, but I suspect things will shift from having a university degree to being mostly about where you got your degree from (which is already the case at the elite level, but less so at the lower levels).

For example, I attended a university where pretty much any fellow alumnus will take my call and alumni of similarly ranked universities consider me part of the in group from the start. For one of my internships, my boss was quite upfront that because I attended the same university he did, he assumed I was a good candidate from the start and all I had to do was not screw up the interview. I didn't have to impress. I went into the interview as presumably impressive.

That is a major benefit.

It frankly didn't matter what I actually did in university. It didn't matter what I learned. The most important factor for my career was that I went to a well regarded one that produces plenty of other powerful, rich, and influential people.
> It's what to censor, not whether we censor.

Are you not going to try and draw any line at all to protect free speech rights in this scenario? I mean, if we're going to one extreme and talking about David Duke, we should also talk about the other extreme as well. If a school board decided that any book by a black author would not be allowed in the library, would you view that as an unreasonable exercise of government power? If a school board decided that any books that criticized a specific political party (either Republican or Democrat, pick whichever you'd like) should be banned, would that be an abuse of government power? What if they banned any text that referred positively to a religion, are we allowed to call that government overreach?

Is there even such a thing as an unreasonable exercise of government power over school library content? Or should we just throw up our hands and say everything is fine and anybody can censor anything they want for school kids?

Remember that the 1st Amendment does still apply to minors. We typically allow more government intervention into their lives than we do into the lives of adults, but the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that children have constitutional rights.

So the question is not whether or not it's always wrong to censor material from a school library. Like you've said, there are types of content that pretty much everyone agrees should be censored from a school library. But that's not what we're asking; we're asking if it's crossing a line for the government to censor this content. Is it acceptable for a government to censor material based on (what you yourself describe as) explicitly religious criteria? That doesn't ring any 1st Amendment-related alarms for you?

It's very common for people to attempt to sidestep questions about government censorship by (correctly) pointing out that all governments censor. But falling back on the commonly cited Popehat article (https://www.popehat.com/2015/05/19/how-to-spot-and-critique-...):

> The observation "not all speech is protected" adds nothing to a discussion because it offers no mechanism for determining whether the speech at issue falls into a traditional exception or not.
This was part of the Dunning–Kruger effect. Everyone loves to focus on people of lower ability having an inflated view of their competence in a specific area, but the other side of the research was people of above average aptitude collapsing down their expertise to get closer to the mean.

Maybe you’re just being too kind.

I ask them if their parents know that their job is to scam old people all day

Oh, hey! I'm not the only one whose done this. A couple of other good one:

- "How did you get into this line of work? Are your parents frauds too? Is it a genetic thing maybe we can weed out? Who do your parents rip off?"

- "When you see your family on the holidays, do you tell them you're a professional fraud, or do you actually have a sliver of shame? Do you have like sibling who think your cool for ripping people off?"

- "What does your god think of how you make a living?"

Get cussed out some, but most of them are obviously fine with it, usually via some variation of "hey gotta pay bills, just doing my job". The 'smile and dial' crowd self selects for zero-ethics worldviews. The god one did get me a death threat, which is nice. I'm sure they added me to a bunch of call lists as 'revenge'. Worth it.

Tesla doesn't provide this. Also, its beside the point...

Which is: Tesla doesn't even want collect telemetry and then re-share it to 3rd parties. Tesla wants to provide a mechanism for the car to connect directly to a customer-authorised 3rd party telemetry collection service. This relieves Tesla from having to function as a middle-man and facilitate things like claims in tokens and granular permissions.
You might try something similar to this: https://remotevoice.dev/email-screener-thunderbird/

The secret sauce there is sorting emails by multiple address books - different emails in address books go to different folders. So email from the screened in address book, goes into the inbox and emails from the Newsletters address book goes into the newsletter folder. And so on.

The difficulty for this type of setup is sometimes you get email from companies that send all their emails from the same address - promotion, receipts, etc - so if you screen them out because of a promotional email - you might miss out on a receipt. The answer to this is to make a rule for that domain, using subject line filtering.

> "illegally discriminating based on race"

Is there a legal way to discriminate based on race? I thought that was pretty much illegal in most countries, despite efforts in sections of both left and right to keep racism alive...
Patently incorrect. Minority preference is ~20x times larger than legacy preference at Harvard.

A typical class at Harvard has 2,500 student admits. Of those, 700 are black or Hispanic. If Harvard did away with legacy admissions, 25 additional Hispanic or black applicants would be admitted, so 725. However, if they did away with affirmative action, 450 would not be admitted, so you would be down to 275. Most of these 425 spots would go to Asian applicants and a chunk would go to white applicants.

I wholly agree with everything above the dashes/hyphens, but I partially disagree with the bottom part and a related position I suspect you hold. Maybe we will end up dedicating trillions of dollars through solid reform, but that figure shouldn't be based on historical reckonings of damages. The history of oppression and inequality in the US is gross and tragic, but the past isn't the present isn't the future. There are enough actual issues to solve already. Now, onto attacking a stance you may or may not hold. While certain groups (I won't deign to be imprecise with wording) are heavily disadvantaged heavily from historical racism, it still ultimately remains the sole responsibility and capability of each individual to forge their own path. If the culture is flawed, so too may the people not sow healthy crops to reap. To be sure, this may not turn out to be a significant issue, but it's something to be mindful of throughout reforms. Truly though, I hope for the best.

He ran for 3 months - the end of the first month only running a full mile - and lost 26 lbs by the end of the third month? How?

And that would be my biggest concern about AA (certainly at hyper-elite institutions like Harvard) - it does little to address cultural issues among disadvantaged communities that work against social mobility, including the degree to which formal education is seen as worth pursuing. It may even further entrench such attitudes in some cases. At best, one might hope that if enough members of such communities did successfully navigate the ivy league system and prosper from it, it would prove something of an inspiration to others, but I suspect it's a fairly weak effect.
