African Americans have retained a pretty distinct identity throughout this time. There are a lot of shared cultural artifacts to be sure, but the existence of a completely distinct dialect of English with its own distinctive grammar is solid evidence that the cultural overlap is not complete.

I resent the implication that any claim of genetic differences amounts to racism. We need to be able to have a reasonable discussion about genetics that doesn't come with all the value judgments that people assign to different genotypes. It's a bald fact that there are genetic differences, and that shouldn't be controversial. The inferences we draw from that fact can be racist, but the fact itself is just a fact.

The only conclusion that I'm arguing for is that people are born and raised differently, and we should expect to see different outcomes as a result. It's pretty obvious that we have not yet reached the point where the differences in outcomes are due exclusively to different choices, but we should expect to eventually reach such a point! People prioritize different things in their lives, and sometimes people prioritize things that the majority doesn't believe are important. That doesn't make them flawed people.

There are ethical issues, and there are ethical issues.

I can't say much about law, as IANAL (except to note that there are a lot of divorce attorneys who will help their clients celebrate the dissolution of their marriage by sleeping with them), but I am a doctor, and the philosophy of "don't sleep with your patients" is in our ethics. But where do the boundaries lie?

In, say, psychiatry, it's never ethically acceptable to sleep with your former patients. They're off-limits. But if the therapeutic relationship is absent (radiologist, pathologist - they never saw your face), or minimal (I'm an anesthesiologist, and if I were single I'd have no compunction about dating someone I'd put to sleep once for an unremarkable surgery, and I don't think ER doctors should be prohibited from dating someone whose shoulder they popped back into joint once), there's really no risk of abuse of power because there's no ongoing professional relationship.

If the personal relationship is a direct consequence of the professional one, and the power is unequal because of that, then it's ethically problematic. If they're purely coincidental, it's probably not. And from what I know of the law, lawyers sleeping with their clients happens - but it's usually not ethically challenging.

A moronic policy if true:

1. Copyright Office made it clear that AI generated output is generally not copyrightable irrespective of training data: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/16/2023-05...

2. In fact, there is credible legal theory that goes as far as to conclude that training dataset license cannot effect the resulting weights under US law (EU's take on copyright make it less clear)

3. DMCA already provides Valve with legal cover in the unlikely event that training dataset license is somehow found to effect the IP rights of generated content.

4. By adopting this policy, they are acting more as a traditional publisher rather than a platform, thus exposing themselves to even more liabilities not less.

This policy makes no sense to me no matter how I look at it.

The harsh reality that Valve and everyone else needs to accept is that AI-generated content from "unclear" datasets is here to stay. People need to accept this fact^1 and move on. I already have.

1: Copyright is an incredibly limited, obsolete, broken invention that was never meant to handle concepts like this. It's very much like a poor analogy that we stubbornly insist on applying to situations were it simply does not fit. We will continue to find ourselves arriving to bizarre and nonsensical conclusions like this as long as we continue holding onto this broken invention. Reward authors in another way. Placing arbitrary limitations on information was never the right way to do it.

I've been watching since the original cast in the 70's. I don't know much about what he did as a writer on the show, but I didn't care for him as a performer. Strangely, I did get a kick out of his Stewart Smalley character. As silly as it was, there was something genuine he brought to it, and that made it work for me.

I'm not from Minnesota, but he impressed me by what it seemed he tried to do as a senator. I think if more of our politicians showed his intelligence and level of care for their constituents, we'd all be better off.

Finally, I think he got screwed over when he was pressured to resign over his hover-hands picture. If we cancel everyone who has done something in poor taste, we'd all be on the outs, and no one would go into comedy, or last long if they did.

Offshore generally means you're trying to slash costs. Say, hiring $10/day devs from India. Now, there are great devs in India, but they don't work for $10/day.

It's the same term that was used for transitioning textile and other factory work to third world sweatshops.

Hiring internationally is just that. You might get someone for a bit cheaper (somewhere in the neighborhood of 20ish percent), but that's usually in exchange for the extra hassle of managing a remote team and dealing with timezone issues. You don't usually crank through these people every quarter, they're hired for the longterm (or, as longterm as anyone in a software job is hired for).

Of course not. The white supremacists say that these problems are genetic in origin, not due to oppression.

I’ve tried MdBook, Jekyll, and MkDocs. MdBook is slick for basic projects, but I felt it was too minimalistic for me. When I dug into the source for the MdBook sites that I liked, I saw that they had extended MdBook with some custom Rust code.

My recommendations are:

- MkDocs: Good default choice, reasonably flexible.

- Jekyll: For people who want a little more flexibility—things like landing pages, blogs, etc.

- Antora: For people who want the best docs, and are willing to put in the most effort. It will manage, for you, the process of generating documentation sites that collect documentation from multiple projects and possibly multiple versions of each project. Asciidoc is full of features you’ll find useful.

Hugo looks like it has a lot of flexibility like Jekyll, but it seems to take more effort to get everything working the way you want, and it also seems like there’s just too much variation in how the different themes work. To be honest, I never really managed to make anything with it—I found out that the theme I was using didn’t have some features I wanted, so I switched to a different theme, but it’s not easy to switch themes. I was too frustrated and gave up.

It looks like MdBook is reasonably active, so I’m sure it will catch up.

you are correct that different people have different goals, and the ones who are in favor of affirmative action have the goals I described in the post you responded to.

I have no doubt that people who oppose affirmative action may have different goals, ones which lead them to oppose it, but luckily, I do not require evidence to be convinced that wrongs should be righted before calling everything even.

We already know how to do "short term memory". We can mathematically condense/average embedding representations of text and use these as input (i.e. combine a page of text into the representation space of one or several tokens, textual inversion style). Once embeddings get good enough, this kind of memory will be ubiquitous. Not sure why we are collectively having amnesia about sentence transformers and related ideas

It's worth noting that "soft-prompts" were a thing that the coomer crowd was already using with openassistant. Not sure why the mainstream NLP crowd is being so damn slow in implementing stuff like this

No I don’t think people getting their land stolen in the past 100 years is okay to let go. Same sort of people usually think Taiwan stealing the island from indigenous or America stealing Puerto Rico or Hawai’i is okay too.

Stolen land is stolen land.
Would really like it if ML projects would declare upfront if you're using cloud models or local ones. A lot of work policies bar us from using externally generated code or inputting business data into external systems.

You'll notice that I've never argued that we reached the point where racist factors in outcomes have been eliminated—I've only ever argued that when we do reach that point, I expect to still see disproportionate outcomes in the way that we currently measure them, because we will still value different things across different cultures. And that's okay! I think a lot of our definitions of success are fundamentally flawed, and cultures prioritizing other things have a lot of value!

Thanks! Yeah, it's been a lot of fun hacking around with these models. I just checked out your open-source project; looks super interesting! It has a lot of things I've been wanting to implement. I particularly love the command completion and concept of a repository map.

The approach you've taken is the one I use the most in my workflow nowadays. I manually provide context to GPT4 and ask it to translate/fix issues in my code (at least provide high-level ideas about resolving issues). Pretty cool to see a CLI version of that.

Having the human in the loop has been crucial in practice. Your approach of having the LLM interact with your code base and collaboratively make edits is interesting.

mdBook is a command line tool to create books with Markdown. It is ideal for creating product or API documentation, tutorials, course materials or anything that requires a clean, easily navigable and customizable presentation.

- Lightweight Markdown syntax helps you focus more on your content
- Integrated search support
- Color syntax highlighting for code blocks for many different languages
- Theme files allow customizing the formatting of the output
- Preprocessors can provide extensions for custom syntax and modifying content
- Backends can render the output to multiple formats
- Written in Rust for speed, safety, and simplicity
- Automated testing of Rust code samples

It mentions Rust because it's written in Rust and used by the Rust project.

In other words, the project wouldn't exist without Rust but
Please get all medical advice from a medical professional.

What I've heard is that 2 pounds a week is the "safe recommended limit" for weight loss. 3 months is 12 weeks or 24 pounds, which is about 26. 2 pounds a week works out to, give or take, a 1000 calorie deficit. That's very, very easy to achieve if you're working out regularly. At the height of my exercising period a couple of years ago, I was burning > 3000 calories a day. There were some days I had to actually eat extra just so that I wasn't hilarious under my required calorie amount. On a 3500 calorie day, eating a healthy 2500 calories is proper work.
> the news content, or any portion of it, is reproduced

Do they define "portion" in more detail anywhere else? Otherwise, it's sounds like it's saying that using a single word that's contained by any news article means that "news content is made available", which is obviously absurd.
If you find everything is hard to trust, that likely just means you're not good at trusting things.

As promised, I did the experiment. Converting all floats in numpy to float32 achieves a speedup of about 20%. Writing the same code in jax (with the few small changes needed for example for random number generation), the speedup is of a factor of 2. But once we switch back to float64, jax becomes a tiny bit slower than numpy, maybe about 2% slower. Adding compilation to jax does not help if the code is already fully vectorized.
Nothing is a non starter unless you want to love the status quo and pretend things are good enough. Also…a lot of the nationalities you’re talking about aren’t that big of a deal in the USA.

> In an ideal world you will dig into the details, and figure out why that was happening, and resolve the underlying issues. But as with a lot of these problems with a human element there's no quick and easy solution.

If they managed to identify that “the data over many years was showing that for people with the same clinical need, those from the minority ethnicities were not getting the same prioritisation”, it means they have done 95% of the required work already. So either the report is bogus, or the solution isn’t as complex as you make it to be.
Lots of people also say that from the not-advantaged side. Most Indians aren’t sitting around insisting on reparations for the $41 trillion Britain took from them. They understand that it’s futile to do so, and making that the goal will only leave them in poverty long term.
The tl;dr is: because there exists systemic disadvantage-ous-ness clearly caused by, and maintained along lines of race. It's not just The Past™ that was racist to damaging degrees, Now™ is too.

All people in bad circumstances beyond their control deserve ways out. There are tons and tons and tons of subsidies and whatnot targeting individual reasons, like poverty (people think you're poor? you're less likely to get a good-paying job, and more likely to get one that abuses you). Race is just one more, and it's particularly effective at leveling the field because it has extremely strong correlations with (and very clearly a cause in) tons of them.

I think there’s a fair amount of truth to this. Really the only reasonably quiet bars in America that I’ve been to (which is a decent amount, I happen to like both traveling and drinking) are almost always either a hotel bar like the OP references or one of the dimly lit hipster speakeasy style places.

Hotels have the downside of often being boring and expensive, and coincidentally the hipster speakeasy bars also often have the same downside. At least you’ll often get a bit more effort into your $25 cocktail when some bearded mixologist is shaking it up at the hipster joint.

Open source projects with sponsors and partners are pretty commonplace. Naturally, projects depend on having some support from others. You can frame that as a "commercial interest" but I maintain that is an inaccurate description of our sponsor and partner relationships.

Rocky is absolutely a separate entity, both legally and in practice. In fact, the project and foundation board bylaws limit undue influence in a number of ways including maximum number of board seats per employer. We try to show our values both in our words and actions.

There's nothing zany about its structure, it's not particularly lipophilic, no receptor bindings of note, no spicy reactive groups, no alkylators, no intercalators, no redox sites. If it doesn't look like a duck, doesn't quack, doesn't waddle, doesn't fly, doesn't hang out in ponds, and hasn't shown ducklike activity over 50 years, what are the odds it's secretly a duck?
