I’m replying here just to the person above. I don’t have an opinion about if this single action was a good policy or not. Though, I am generally supportive of capitalism as a system that has moved a huge number of people out of poverty, but I obviously acknowledge that externalities at least need managed by counties (along with lots of things actually). But it is wrong that companies merely act to maximize profit margin. It feels like it’s part of the same recent trend of acting like the reason we have global warming is because of a handful of selfish people. There are trade offs. Turning the world into a organic farming utopia would be forcing billions to starve. Banning pesticides here would likely result in higher fish prices. Turning off oil right now would mean trillions dying as the world’s economy stopped. That doesn’t mean we can do nothing, but we can’t pretend like problems in the world are created exclusively by bad selfish people because then we’ll pretend we never need to change
Agreed, this repo is in desperate need of a few screenshots/video on the ReadMe to showcase what it looks like.

This is interesting, but it's key to remember that audio and video codecs have three primary constraints in there design: compression efficiency and encode, and decode complexity

Simply addressing compression efficiency without considering the other constraints makes for an impractical codec.

If your encode complexity is too high, then you can't handle real-time (live) use cases, and your compute requirements may make practical use for large libraries like social media impractical.

If your decode complexity is too high mobile devices will suffer from severe battery drain or simply won't be able to decode, even in hardware. Dedicated hardware may also have to much complexity to implement in a cost effective way.
Analogy here would be, I’m saying I almost got robbed, robbery is real. You’re coming and saying, “this new law won’t solve your issue, it’s for actual robbery only.”
Yes, I was hired as a contractor. The company is based in Köhlstraße, do you know which municipality website I need to file the complaint from?
I can confirm people are singled out everywhere in the tech industry from not being SE Asian. And when they are the caste then will prevent them from moving forward on any front. SE Asians like to hire SE Asians only its pretty horrific and unchecked.
It absolutely is. Whenever a group feels threatened you can be sure there will be an agenda to undermine the counter party.
Very cool, I look forward to using it! Thank you for the reply :)
In business, to be a successful leader often requires unpopular decisions. Your job is to deliver value for the company and it's shareholders, not to be popular.

In politics, unpopular decisions end careers. To be a successful political leader, you need to be popular because you need to get reelected.

> Yes and no, but mostly no.

By defintion, leaders - any / all leaders - make difficult and yes sometimes unpopular decisions. If that isn't happening, that isn't leadership.

Yes, in theory we have politicians in leadership positions. The reality is, very few meet the defintion of leader. That is, getting elected is simply not enough to qualify for the title of leader. The writer is too generous, to a fault. Such sloppiness needs to stop.

Put another way, if your pet barks do you still call it a cat? Of course...OhHellNo. The same rule applies to leader/leadership. People need to stop doling it out like candy on Halloween. The title should be earned and honored. It shouldn't be one of those trophies everyone gets just for showing up.

Else we'll continue to stuck in this Orwellian infinite loop were complete muppets are considered leaders and no one stops to say that's no true. We don't need more fake leaders.
This is backwards. What you want is to specify resource limits and then have the maximum possible bill calculated for you.

If you want services to turn off if they exceed a threshold then you will need some sort of priority scheme.

Well... our ARM cores use more standard tooling. I sort of detest System Verilog, but I detest it a lot less than Rocket/Chisel. And as annoying as it is to write a big check to ARM, at least you can hire people who know how to use your IP.

It probably wasn't obvious from my earlier comment, but I was comparing SiFive to ARM and then I was comparing SiFive with other RISC-V IP vendors (and open source projects.)
I don't disagree. It's just something the people who benefit from getting to discriminate focused on to try to get to keep discriminating.

But IMO it's fine, because banning discrimination based on ancestry in general is better than banning discrimination on the basis of ancestry only when caste is involved.

Mrs. McCoy shouldn't be able to discriminate against Mrs. Hatfield on the basis of last name either.
Show HN: Send files directly between all the devices in your home network
We made an app that transfers files between your mobile or desktop devices (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Ubuntu 22.04).

Files are first encrypted and then transferred directly on a SSL over μTP connection.

Each device must be setup with a group name and group password: this pair is used to create an unique encryption key used for signaling (not for the file encryption) so devices in the same network but belonging to different users cannot talk to each other.

You can send files from within the app or, on mobile, share them from other apps.

The app requires a subscription on mobile, but the money is taken only after a week of trial unless the subscription is canceled first.

Subscriptions are managed by Google & Apple.
Big Corp is absolutely not fine with having their work preserved. See for example the Disney Vault and the recent move to create modern adaptations rather than doing reruns of classics. They are terrified of their works entering public domain and want you to forget they ever existed at all and just pay your monthly streaming fee.
Personally, I did the collect call thing to my parents, especially after the system was automated.

Robot Voice: Hello, you have a local collect call from "mig39 is ready to be picked up" -- do you accept the charges? Then my parents would just hang up and come get me.
Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Can you describe a specific incident in your employment history where you were fired from a job or denied a promotion due to your caste or ancestry? You should be able to sue for this right now (even before SB403) with this law:

op's comment included work. Unless it's common to measure social acquaintances by seniority.

Also, the existence of such a law should have a chilling effect on this behaviour. Even if it doesn't get rid of it. E.g. presumably HR policies & training will have to be updated to highlight it on pain of exposing employers to legal action.
What about having to log in with a Google/Facebook/MS account as opposed to a Jitsi account?
The important point here IMHO is that the vast majority of fraud is not an inevitable cost of doing business, it's the result of deliberate policy decisions, and the fact that the cost of fraud can be fobbed off by financial institutions onto merchants and thence onto consumers without the latter even being aware that they are bearing this cost. It is quite literally a conspiracy.
It virtually reaches zero the lower amount of carbohydrates you consume. Vitamin C shares the same intake pathway as glucose, so the least glucose in your bloodstream, the less need for supplementation, and the trace amounts found in meat are enough.

Inuits consuming their diet of purely meat and fat for 6+ months a year do not get scurvy, and it is not a generic mutation either, as testified by Europeans that lived among them and adopted their diet without issue. See Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the ethnologist who spent years living and eating like an Inuit, and anyone following a strict carnivore diet.

The entire meme about sailors getting scurvy because they didn't eat their vegs is because their diet was pretty much poor quality carb-heavy food like rice, potatoes and bread, so even just supplementing with lemons was enough to keep scurvy at bay.

how can you tell that HumanEval is not leaked to your training data in some form?
Even in Europe we have Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian as reasonably large non-indoeuropean languages; Maltese as an example of a Semitic EU language, and of course Turkic languages are also right there.

Why? The way you say it implies this is self-evident, but I'm completely clueless about either of these and why this logically follows.
That's the thing, they're aren't any studies that have true statistical significance that show the claims you state here.

That's the rub, what I'm highlighting. We all just automatically assume the robot is better because it's a robot. The proof is in the pudding.
Yes, that would be useful. Basically, what you have in https://github.com/infogulch/caddy-xtemplate/blob/master/tem... - but without Caddy dependencies and with a way to use any router library (I use gorilla/mux).

I would make the templates library take a callback function for every public template: func(method, path string, template).

Then the user could add any custom logic to register the route handler and execute the template with any application specific inputs.
Perhaps this was tested in court with a caste discrimination case and it wasn't clear enough that it applied. I don't know CA case law enough. Based on the article I have the impression that this law originated from insiders in the legal system so I assume it's necessary to call out caste by name.
Someone who likes this book might like Box 88 by Charles Cumming as well. I can recommend it.
Yeah, and Bewitched seems like a terrible example. You can currently buy the complete season on DVD, or watch it streaming. It's continuing to make money and in no danger of being lost.

Of course it's going to be taken off YouTube, the same as if Squid Game were uploaded.

Now if we're talking TV shows that were last place in viewership in the 1960's so nobody's bothered to sell/stream and haven't been syndicated in decades, then it's a totally different story...
Good luck gathering any evidence to even fight such a case. You’re only protected insofar as you can prove in the courts that you were discriminated against.
You seem to have a bone to pick with him, but he's certainly not the originator of this drama, and there's plenty of other drama which the Rust Project and Rust Foundation has managed to generate with absolutely no involvement from ThePHD at all.

You're literally victim blaming here.
We are? The US is still dealing with the legacy of the Spanish formalized caste system, because of territory it took over from Spain and/or Mexico a century and half ago? I call baloney.

The US is still dealing with the consequences of its own sins. I don't think it inherited Spain's sins when it took the land.
Oops, there goes the first 10 years of my career, where I used DSLs almost exclusively.
Large portions of the US and the courts believe we live in a post-racial society where similar protections are affronts to society and them personally. Even teaching about historical slavery and discrimination is opposed.

Not sure why south Asians in general would be any more enlightened.
Nice saying on marriage.

Me: 10 years of writing many of my own articles on the site

You: It's spammy and useless.

Well, its useless to you, but some other people might be able to use the information or maybe relate to the content.

You and I must be looking at two completely different websites. I see some short articles. I see some long ones. I see some very summarized articles which are called "lead-ins" meaning to bring people back to their own website. I see some in-depth interesting content and I see some bland content that isn't very interesting, as some of the fields some of us work in are not. Considering the 1,800+ authors that have contributed to the website, not everyone is the same.

I appreciate that you took a look, but just because you skimmed a few articles on the front page doesn't mean that the content isn't real. I do filter out the spam from the genuine articles and have tried to keep a very consistent over the years. But you saw what you saw.

As for the topic of this page, "what has your personal website or blog deprived you from?" I think I was able to answer it in the fact that at least 5 hours of my time every weekend are dedicated to answering emails and uploading/processing/scheduling articles to my website. I guess you're going to tell me those people are fake too though they seem pretty legit, even having their company names in their signatures.
I have no idea what point you're making
> just staying in unoccupied summer homes of rich white friends.

Class divide is not caste divide.

Imagine if you went to the market, and you touched someone, and immediately, their parents/people around them flicked drops of water at them to purify them because they got touched by an untouchable. Do you experience THAT in the US? Do you know how humiliating that is?

You're being absurd at equating the two.
I don't have an opinion on caste discrimination itself. I have a good friend who is Brahmin and doesn't really care about caste I think so I know some things about it. But that person is not religious. Religious Hindus may have stronger preferences where caste seems like it is a part of the religion. For example, my understanding is Hindu priests are generally Brahmin. Although some sects disagree that priests need to be Brahmin, I believe that is the exception not the norm. I guess caste discrimination could be part of a religious view but generally in America this isn't considered acceptable in work environments.

OTOH I dislike the idea of adding caste to protected status because that affects people who have nothing to do with this. The US has no history of caste discrimination and most people have no idea what that is. So I am opposed to equating American concepts of discrimination that were based in things like Jim Crow laws and slavery with caste discrimination. I am opposed to things like corporate DEI hiring practices and school admissions policies incorporating caste because this places an undue burden on the majority of Americans who are not involved with this.
Yes, it's coming up in a couple of weeks.
It's worth reading one of the many[0] UN reports that cover the Myanmar Military Junta's varied crimes, from indiscriminate airstrikes on civilians to mass rape to literal genocide. Opposition to this sort of thing does not entail extremism.

The UN security council has unanimously condemned the Junta multiple times over the past few years[1], and let me tell you, those guys doing anything unanimously since February of 2022 doesn't happen very often. Sometimes bad things are bad.

As frugivorous apes we got enough vitamin C from our diet that that mutation was a survival advantage. Synthesizing nutrients you can get from your diet is a waste of energy.

Similarly, other species of animals cannot synthesize certain nutrients they get from their diet. Cats, for example, cannot synthesize taurine and must get their required taurine from consuming meat.
And they can still do enough via the server

This is a bit of a loaded recommendation - I own it and it's a fantastic compendium of literally all western cooking knowledge you might want to ever know.

It's also like 20lb and over a thousand pages and usually sells for textbook prices, so only invest in it if you really want to level up and have the time to read/work through it.
It does for sure

To my knowledge, the only caste discrimination case in CA history is the "Cisco" case. It was dismissed with prejudice.

App Store notifications are opt-in on macOS. When you first open the App Store.app it’s one of the things they ask you.
Highly unpopular opinion: by 2030, React will probably go the way of jQuery (i.e. a highly popular library that was once considered almost an "industry standard", but later ended up in a graveyard of projects, tutorials and articles).

Difficult to say what the replacement will be, but I suspect it will be some form of plain JS + MVVM architecture, with a VM (view model) with two-way bindings, possibly natively part of the DOM, or even the DOM itself being optimised and async-ed to a point where virtual DOM diffing and similar approaches are obsolete, and an M (model) basically providing a client-side interface for the server API with some level of local caching, and providing an event listener interface for the VM to update itself. You may recognise some of these features from much older libraries, but I think a lot of them will be available natively in browsers (hopefully standardised, or in a darker timeline, fragmented between major browser vendors).

Another possibility is HTMX-like partial updates getting more native browser support, essentially blurring the line between multi-page applications and SPAs.
Ah also chcesz I've no idea how to pronounce that maybe an X at the beginning and a fshhhh at the end no idea.
Maybe, in addition to that, different things work for different people. Some people rely on power, some people rely on reach and mobility, some people rely on technique and smart shot-making. It seems entirely possible that a one-hander suited Sampras specifically even if the two-hander is better for most people. I know there are some insecure people here who want to believe there's only One True Racket Sport and One True Way to play it, but personally I believe in (literal) different strokes for different folks.
With a TV show, I would expect the curation to involve exhibits about it. Summaries, context, interviews, etc. The actual episodes should be easy to access and not in cold storage.
This is a truly weird take. Imagine defending one of the most oppressive practices that happen even in our home country. Do better.

I like DSLs for many things but not for building out cloud infrastructure. It seems like the whole point of those things to build layer of complexity on top of layer of complexity. If any if those things meant you didn’t need to know all the thorny details of bash scripting, charsets, quoting and all, they might be a met positive but as they don’t you might as well write some bash scripts.
I guess I also don't think that speaking directly about a belief makes it stronger, particularly for discrimination. Many people have commented on HN about experiencing caste discrimination but being unable to do anything about it, because Americans have no understanding of what caste discrimination is. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Certainly writing things down can make it easier for concepts to stick around, but I don't think the dynamics are the same for something written down to call out that it's bad. And holy texts are a totally different ballgame.

Indeed, you might even notice in the pictures that one room has a wall painted blue and the other one reddish. When people asked which team to join the answer was: "What color is the wall?" :)

That said, in practice we don't do a lot of competitive stuff. Instead we tend to prefer to focus on cooperative games, like Deep Rock Galactic, Ark, Factorio, etc. This works a lot better when everyone is somewhere between a casual vs. hardcore gamer with very different skill levels.

The one thing we regularly do play versus is Left 4 Dead 2. I've gotten pretty good at assigning my friends to teams for that one such that the games end up reasonably balanced...

Just clarifying that discrimination doesn't have to result in being fired or passed over for a promotion to count as discrimination.
Again, they're using it as an example of something that might be possible, not saying that this is what you should be doing.

...and even if they were, wouldn't it be nice to focus on solving the other problems you mention instead of writing the code?

A useful illustration: polarized light can be considered to be in a superposition if you use a basis rotated 45 degrees to the polarization axis. So whether or not polarized light is in a superposition depends entirely on how you choose to look at it. It's not a reflection of the underlying physical reality.

You may be interested in what we’re working on at Symbolica AI.

We’re using formal logic in the form of abstract rewrite systems over a causal graph to perform geometric deep learning. In theory it should be able to learn the same topological structure of data that neural networks do, but using entirely discrete operations and without the random walk inherent to stochastic gradient descent.

Current experiments are really promising, and assuming the growth curve continues as we scale up you should be able to train a GPT-4 scale LLM in a few weeks on commodity hardware (we are using a desktop with 4 4090’s currently), and be able to do both inference and continual fine tuning/online learning on device.
This is a poorly written article with a handful of anecdotes. It also doesn’t report everything truthfully. For example, the lawsuit against the Cisco engineers has been dismissed. The lawsuits against Cisco remains. Caste discrimination is a low hanging fruit for litigants similar to racial discrimination. It automatically labels a person with a higher caste a castist.
