Thanks, I understand now.

For personal documentation, I prefer files of MIME type "text/plain" rather than "text/html". For text encoding, I prefer 7-bit ASCII. I do most reading in textmode. I generally dislike use of UTF-8. I dislike use of ANSI escape sequences to enhance text. These are my preferences, not necessarily anyone else's.

Markdown has extra garbage in the file. No different than tags in HTML. RFC 7763 describes markdown as "lightweight markup".

In the comment I am describing keeping extra garbage in a separate file. Although I have thought about storing the contents of the less history file at the top of the document, sort of like a table of contents, then extract it to a less history file when I want to read the document with less.

That is correct of course, but the US federal housing insurers are understandably shy about talking about their contribution to the problem.

Especially after 2008 almost all house valuations in the US are based on square footage and number of bathrooms. So bigger houses and more plumbing is the only way to make money as a developer.
Hey - if you think you can do it go ahead. No one in the economics profession would oppose a usable definition of market which covered all of these cases (or even a subset of them) and made it easy.

We aren’t failing to offer definitions here bc we’re in the tank for big tech. To immediately suggest we have malign motivations isn’t charitable. It’s genuinely a hard problem.
You say "just more comfortable" but if you have two streams and one of them is on a channel you know to be unreliable (Jitsi) it's pretty guaranteed the unreliable stream is going to be down a significant percentage of the time. If you're a company with 500 people this isn't a comfort question, you're wasting probably hundreds of hours of your employees' time.
Raw performance isn't much interesting to me: I'm not planning on running production Postgres on it, just to prove to myself that computers are orders of magnitude nimbler than what experience in our day-to-day. Windows 95 had less latency on a 486 than most desktop OSes on a Ryzen 7. The sheer amount of layered abstractions we keep piling on and on isn't helping.

In any case, I don't know anything about FPGA, any board to recommend, that's useful for a pure software engineer with only a passing knowledge of electronics?
He's trying to generate a post-hoc justification for an inaccurate statement, there's nothing more to it than that. Still, self-identification matters and I wanted to see if he'd cross the Rubicon and try to force the white identity on groups that don't want it.

Bearing in mind his linchpin example - Arabs - are neither perceived as nor self-identify as white [1], it's bizarre to suggest that it follows that the Japanese, a separate case anyway, must also be white.

Add to that his conflation of ethnicity with race [2], and it might be the single most stupid comment I've ever seen on HN. Just say "OP meant to say black", there's no need to construct an alternate reality in which non-white and black are synonyms.

[1] https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/why-arab-americans-are-p...

"many in the MENA community do not share the same lived experience as White people with European ancestry, do not identify as White, and are not perceived as White by others."

[2] https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/note/US/RHI625222

"People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race."
You train a model on a bunch of photos of white people, and a few photos of black people.

You then deploy that model, and use the model to match black person detained by racist officers against a database of photos that the police have from before. In that database the majority of people are black.

Shitty AI that was not properly taught what black people look like because most of the people in the training data were white, says that it found a probable match for detained black person.

Racist officers do not attempt to second guess the computer, so they throw innocent black person into their car and drive off to the police station.

This has been the largest trend in western countries since early 2000s (growth in executive/PM power).

As reviewers are paid nothing and get no substantial credit for their work, I’m going to say “Every field”. Why would you do a significant chunk of a paper’s work for no reward? Replication studies are typically a bad deal even when you get to pick a notable study to reproduce and you get a paper to your name out of it - replicating what will probably be an obscure paper for no credit is not something most academics (let alone commercial research labs) would entertain.

The software being trusted to pick out similar faces is a GREAT ADVANCE IN SOLVING CRIMES because it scales the process going on in a photo lineup. But it's only being trusted to pick out similar faces. There will ALWAYS be similar faces. It's doing the same part of the task as a photo lineup does.

The point is that there has to be MORE than "This person has a similar face". It's a confirmation step for suspects that already exist, or for whom you can find other strong circumstantial evidence for. You have an unlimited supply of similar faces and you don't get to just choose one of them.

The great problems with AI tools mostly arise from the fact that the supposed expert users were never taught what the tools do, or how causal inference works - how to discern reality from the evidence available, how to test hypotheses, how to change your reasoning to be valid in the face of wildly disparate scales. If you don't have at least the beginning of Bayesian probability, and you're feeding large datasets into policing, you have no fucking clue what you're doing and your ignorance is immediately dangerous.

And by running his wide mouth he has proven the to the world that all of that is in spite of him, not because of him.

It's the equivalent of pop-stars trying to write their own songs or improvising on stage. They are nothing without the structure that propelled them forward, similarly Musk is nothing without luck, had he kept his mouth shut he'd have at least managed to fool those who are not familiar with the concept of survivorship bias, and apparently you seem to be one of them.

Hmm, interesting.

It's all trade-offs, I'd argue. The nonsense with cotton gloves is clear rubbish*, but, there's no question that human skin is FULL of ... well, everything. Bacteria, "chemicals" (incl. oils), etc. And, skin varies dramatically between people along even "basic" axes like acidity**. Usually, when I work in a lab, I wear gloves not to protect myself, but to protect samples (more accurately, to minimize transfer from myself to said samples, and sometimes even potential transfer between samples etc.).

Even the concept of "clean dry skin" can vary markedly between people.

This isn't my field at all, so, I'm absolutely not disputing this guidance. I'd follow their recommendations were it relevant. Rather, just raising some points that perhaps others might even correct my thinking on ... I may take a look in the literature at some point to see if there is specific empirical research providing some real strength to this conclusion / guidance.

(I see that the NY Times article touches on extraction of DNA, for example, from past handlers / owners / etc. Is this "yet another attempt to _catalog us??_ ... In Soviet Russia, book catalogs you!)

* Though, easy to imagine the case for using such gloves - barring experience and better understanding / dissemination of relevant science

My favorite stack based language is dc. It's also the oldest language still found on Unix systems, predating even C (the original version was written in B on a PDP-11 - even before it had an assembler).

https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/reader.pdf

> Almost everybody in the group has done languages. Thompson and Ritchie built assemblers from scratch. On the tiny PDP-7 the assembler was supplemented by tmg, Doug McIlroy’s version of Bob McClure’s compiler-compiler. Using it Thompson wrote B, the evolutionary link between Martin Richards’s (Cambridge University) BCPL and C. The PDP-11 assembler, a desk calculator dc, and B itself were written in B to bootstrap the system to the PDP-11. Because it could run before the disk had arrived, dc—not the assembler—became the first language to run on our PDP-11. Soon revised to handle arbitrary- precision numbers (v1), dc was taken over by Bob Morris and Lorinda Cherry. It now ranks as the senior language on UNIX systems.

Someone pointed out to me the other day that the Bay Area was part of Mexico from 1821 until 1848 (it was under Spanish control prior to that) - so one way to think about Bay Area Mexican food (and Californian Mexican food in general) is that it is it's own regional variety, and has been for a couple of hundred years at least.
I don't recall that to be the case. Bullet cluster was a post hoc explanation, not a prediction. Can you find me a citation where they say "we should see matter detached from dark matter" before the bullet observation? I'll happily change my memory on this. I do recall finding something that LCDM predicted though (can't remember off the top of my head it was)

In fact LCDM shouldn't predict the bullet cluster, a collision that fast between galaxies is extremely rare in LCDM models.

> In northern Cape York (Australia) I have several friends who cannot be successfully photographed because their skin is so dark that cameras are unable to resolve their facial features

If recent flagship cellphones can take amazing pictures at night time, then perhaps there's no one who has "skin so dark cameras are unable to resolve their facial features". It's a limitation of the Cape York equipment; they ought to have procured cameras with higher dynamic range and/or adjust exposure. If it's an ongoing problem, then the people in charge haven't bothered to research and/or replace the shitty cameras that literally have one job. They ought to spend a little more money on better camera sensors that are critical to basic service delivery.

This is like saying "There are people with names so complicated that the Cape York software can't handle them", just because the names have an apostrophe/diacritic/multiple last names. The problem is with the system, not the people.

> Consequently AI is more likely to mark Black faces as criminal, leading to the targeting and arresting of innocent Black people.

I don’t see how this relates to simple facial recognition. It doesn’t appear that they’re scanning for “criminal physiognomies” but for specific facial matches.

Furthermore, it seems that this whole line of argumentation implies that facial recognition software may be mistaking innocent Black people for non-Black perpetrators, which I don’t see any evidence for. How does this increase arrest rates for Black people if AI just can’t tell them apart? In all likelihood, the person who got away is also Black.
They're unhappy whenever their political opponents make small, sensible steps towards treating people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. In such cases, they will declare the system is unjust and must be abolished.

When their own political allies make their own gains, whether its by corruption, violence, intimidation, lies, defamation, or destruction, they will hide those actions, declare you should be outcast (or worse) if you believe they took place, or declare those actions were just and necessary.

Why not just develop a standard "replication instructions" format that papers would need to adhere to? All methods, source code, ingredients, processes, etc are documented in a standard way. This could help tease out a lot of bullshit just by reading this section.
And as long as it toes the line
The claim is that the model is worse at telling black faces apart from each other.

The system is trained to match images of faces, not identify criminals; it's not comparing things to its training set to give a "criminality" score. The training data is just what has taught the system how to extract features to compare. You run an image of an unknown person against your database of known images, and look for a match so you can identify the unknown person.

If the model is just "worse at" black people, it's going to make more mistakes matching to them.

There's a lot more to it than just Larian. It's mostly about a niche community developing into a mainstream one, and the public growing tired of the same stuff.

After the golden age of late 90s, CRPGs went into shadows of a very narrow niche until maybe 2012-2013. Larian were unlucky enough to work during that winter, and their games weren't particularly successful, although well known in the niche community. Pure RPGs were always niche, and it was hard for them to survive because the market has been split into AAA and indie, leaving no space for anything in between.

Then the non-mainstream communities like RPG Codex produced several indie RPGs like Age of Decadence which also piqued curiosity of the people outside of the niche who grew tired of the constant stream of shallow same-face sandbox action soups with RPG elements like Skyrim.

Larian in particular decided to have their presence on RPG Codex and 100% cater to their desires. They crowdsourced Divinity Original Sin development and implemented almost every reasonable advice RPG nerds gave them under their own vision. The result was a solid and fun game that was a breath of fresh air in the context of 2014. Since about that time, pure RPGs formed a much larger following that steadily grew over the years.

The current sales are mostly because the genre itself got popular again - without it they couldn't have possibly reached those numbers regardless of the quality of their game, as they never did in the previous 2 decades.

2011-2014 were transformative years after the massive boredom of the "next-gen" treadmill of the mid-late 2000s. CRPG is not the only genre that benefited from that. Military-like sandbox games skyrocketed in popularity, giving birth to various offshoots like Battle Royale; soulslike games multiplied; there was even a short revival of arena shooters, although not really successful.

I thought maybe you'd go in the direction of laws or licenses being used to prohibit advertising in certain contexts, like downstream use of content, but what I'm hearing is that profiting off other's free content is fine, but in your opinion doing so with ads just isn't cool with you. That's reasonable, I just thought maybe your desired solution was more systemic.

Mexican food seems pretty subjective to me at this point. You probably just associate LA style with “good”.

Ravenchord – A Radical Redesign of the Piano
The general impression I get from the article (and similar reports) is that patrons of sex workers in general do not seek the mechanical aspects of sex. They also do not seek power. What the largest majority seek is validation.

The big breakthrough would be robots that provided the emotional need of human connection and validation. If the mind could be tricked into a similar state as being in the center of a strong social network, then not only would that serve human needs optimally it would also be the single biggest health boost given.
