It's amazing that there aren't clear-cut lawsuits against companies with a "no {demographic group}" policy. There is some bizarre ambiguity happening in the culture right now where "white men" are not considered a demographic group, while at the same time the language definition of what a "demographic group" actually is, seems to be changing.

Under-represented groups should be receiving better opportunities from day 1, in grade school. Not at the meritocratic finish line where we are trying to measure whether any of those efforts have worked, as Coleman Hughes put it nicely on the All-In podcast last week.
I think a good answer to a non-technical crowd might be something like "I make websites". That is about as simple and easy to understand as you can get. And if they followup with any questions, you can give more detail about your industry and work that you do.
Pretty much!

I do think that there should be a certain kind of need to learn how to wake up early when needed, but in my opinion, learning that skill is not something that should be insisted upon on a daily basis throughout an adolescents life. That goes doubly when the primary reasoning comes down to, "Well I did it when I was their age, so they should have to do it too!"

There are other practical reasons that could even be helpful in this regard, too: Imagine for a moment a case where there are fewer school buses on the road (due to at least an option to Learn From Home (LFH)), and when they are on the road, it's not during peak commuter times. It's something that could help with things like emissions, and the overall safety of students and drivers. The idea of both morning commuters and school buses traveling around at the same peak hours reminds me a lot of how Moving Day [1] in NYC used to work, a breathtakingly stupid tradition, which apparently was only finally culled due to a mixture of labor shortage due to WWII, rent control, and a shortage of housing.

I do realize that part of the reason why schools start as early as they do is to try and avoid some amount of that commuter traffic, but if that is the primary reason, it then raises the even stranger question, "Why then, are we putting the ease of commuters above a sane sleep schedule of the youth, when their physical presence in an antiquated building is on shaky grounds in the first place...?"

Heck, we could take it a step further and ask even more pointed questions, "What sense does it make for children to be transferred to the care of complete strangers, who then are legally obligated to care for their safety on a short-term basis, when that same child could instead remain at home in the care of their own parents?" It just seems like there's plenty of reasons why children should be able to avoid this dogs breakfast of an in-person educational system, when there are glaring and obvious alternatives.

I doubt oral examinations come back in general. The undergrad model relys on massive classes, I don’t see how you can do oral exams in those 300 person classes without massive cheating as the first students tell everyone else what to expect.
I don't understand how you go from "this tool only does 90% of the work I need it to" to "I'll do the whole thing by hand" instead of "I'm fine doing 10% by hand".

Thank you for sharing! Yes, macOS has such logic and it works just fine. The main issue from clatd that it's pretty tricky to setup and it emulates presence of IPv4 on machine which is not very desirable as it tends to hide issues with other tools.

My plan was to explicitly disable IPv4 connectivity for machine and hide it from other app but keep it active for subset of well known broken tools and then fix them one by one and switch to IPv6 only setup.

There is no way to ignore the history of a place. It should be remembered, because, when people forget history, they end up repeating it, which would be terrible in this specific case.

I grew up in a racist country, Brazil. We don't talk much about it, we don't have laws singling out races, and we are, on paper, very egalitarian, but make no mistake: existing while dark-skinned (Brazilians have and are aware of all shades of brown - I'm a very white Caucasian, my first wife was Moorish-Italian, our son is a mix) will get you searched by security and kicked out of places. I was caught doing things that would land anyone darker than me, my son included, in jail. I am aware of my privilege, even if I wasn't while growing up.

It's everyone's responsibility not to repeat these errors and to do our best to break the cycles that perpetuate them.

Interesting product, thanks for mentioning it, you can limit how much you charge your phone battery the same way as a Tesla.
Vector search is not exclusively in the domain of text search. There is always image/video search.

But pre-filtering is important, since you want to reduce the set of items to be matched on and it feels like Elasticsearch/OpenSearch are fairing better in this regard. Mixed scoring derived from both both sparse and dense calculations is also important, which is another strength of ES/OS.
> In short: one in five respondents say they have received explicit instruction for a ‘no white men’ policy. Another one in five say they’ve been implicitly instructed to follow this kind of a policy.
Thanks. I'm not sure how this maps to the original example, though. This is about compiling a standalone program which translates POSIX apis, it seems? How about calling it from Rust with string args etc?
The academic version of them is not used that widely AFAIK outside of newer companies using Yjs.

I believe Figma, Notion, Google Docs, etc all use some form of OTs which aren't necessarily a perfect CRDT
The sky isn’t inherently blue. It’s essentially colorless.

Only due to Rayleigh scattering do we perceive it as blue, but that’s not due to the absorption and reflection of different wavelengths we associate with innate color. Note that the color changes depending on the angle of the sun, even to the point that it’s purple and red at a few times during the day.

I read an economics paper a while back that said you need at least four players to get a competitive market.

I’m not sure how you would translate that to limits on the size of a company though as every sector would be different.

Definitely agree with Branson's top 10 of challenges with PostgreSQL, especially #3: "Inefficient Replication That Spreads Corruption". Postgres WAL entries are always the bottleneck of a replication stream.
I don't disagree with the idea that a relatively complicated base64 API seems painful but...

> Normally I agree with explicit being better than implicit, but I don't see the harm here. If there's no specific interoperability requirements, explicitly choosing a configuration isn't particularly important.

Pretty much the entire point of base64 is interop, so there would always be specific interop requirements.

And since a base64 library tends to be reflexive, a library's default tends to either "way too strict to consume any base64 you can find in the wild" or "so loose you can get a carrier strike group through" e.g. Ruby and Python will strip out any invalid character from the input before attempting a parse, python requires padding to be present but I'm not sure there's any way to make ruby's decode64 fail as long as you give it a string since it does not.
Apple charges, what, $90 for a battery replacement? I don't consider that a significant fraction of the cost of a new phone. Admittedly, once you're in year six of phone ownership it's going to look pretty bad compared to newer devices but I'm not sure what can really be done about that.

I don't think spending the money on these outreach programs is wrong either. I will say it does show conflict in terms of what the Processing foundation should focus on.

It could be that many of Processing's donor's had the assumption it was being developed as a creative coding tool (which I think its excellent as). As far as being a tool to introduce programming, I don't think its bad, but there are better tools/approaches. Personally, I think starting with whatever the browser interprets is very accessible, and is very relevant to modern programming. Start with HTML, CSS and eventually move to turing-complete things, like Javascript. Don't jump right into Java or even Javascript.

Don't be ashamed of telling them what you do. It's their problem, not yours.

Also, be aware that you will invite questions such as "can you fix my computer" and "what computer should i buy" if you do tell the truth.
With respect to grapheneOS on samsung, I don't think it's about security. It's about openness, there is already samsung knox (or whatever it is called, samsung dex?) so clearly they know how to make a secure enclave it's just that samsung wants to keep their stuff proprietary.

In general samsung and others (huawei, etc.) are trying to get a grip on android, and open-source seems to oppose that.

I don't know what motivates google to lean in so hard with open-source ( maybe trying to prevent fragmentation or avoid future antitrust or set a "clean" example standard for stock android with their pixel brand ), but we do currently enjoy its fruits.
If the changes aren’t that minor, then people would certainly gain extra value from buying the 4th edition instead of freely getting the 1st.

If the changes were minor, then maybe it would stop, say, a textbook company from releasing a zillion versions of the same book with minor changes or the question ordering switched in order to extract money out of the next class of students instead of simply allowing them to buy the previous edition used. ;)
If you don't think about it, could create a weird set of local/product/etc. monopoly like things instead. Not thinking about isn't an option because it ignores the incentives if you force limit sizes.

60 ms is already borderline even for conscious discernment of transactional state changes.

For self locomotion feedback that is a huge value. And for proprioceptive signals like mouse input it is absolutely astronomical.

By what meaning of value?

The speculative gains such a person hopes to receive aren't a good measure of value.

If something increases pleasure via entertainment, this is objectively quantifiable. Every pair of ears that hears it increases its value. Preventing it from being heard drives that value down near zero (to 1, presumably). Even if we posit that each person who would listen would be willing to pay a different amount for that privilege, then the person who is hoarding it is driving that price down below whatever paltry price the million listeners might each pay individually.

I see no reason why copyright policy should be driven by the needs of lame publicity stunts.
I'd be more impressed if they committed to releasing the Pixel through at least version 15.
Has anyone field-tested strategies to fighting allegations like this and would like to share them?

Something I remember from a previous discussion around this topic was writing everything in e.g., Google Docs, where there are captured versions every few seconds. The idea being that the version log shows that one did not copy-and-paste larger chunks of the text.
Yeah the iPhone has a massive install base, and those users are generally wealthier than the avg(generally).

They could probably have sufficient ad inventory at launch to become a big player in the ad space.
Snoozer like the iPhone 15 release. No real innovation, just a new chip, improved cameras, and a bunch of waxing and waning about premium materials that I will never see again after I slap a case on it.
Even if it was half the price of the brand new phone it would still be worth replacing the battery several times.
They should have a window for companies to liquidate their inventory and then release a patch to remove any modding restriction. Nintendo has done the opposite.

Kahneman is overconfident, as we all were before the replication crisis.

While most of the psychology field is crumbling and filled with bullshit (even though most people didn't catch on yet). There's still _some_ truth lying in there.

It might look bad in isolation, but Kahneman's work is one of the few that actually holds up to scrutiny.

This post by Scott Alexander is pretty good in summarising the few good bits left.

But regarding the initial point. The goal is not to fully emulate human thinking.
It might sound wishy-washy, but there's _obviously_ _some_ truth to the system 1/2 model. It's not perfect! But I think it's useful.

We as humans do most decisions without thinking (hard), but we have a way to _switch_ into a more reliable but expensive mode.
We see some evidence that artificially inducing LLMs to 'think' more improves their output.

So it stands to reason that adding this capability to a model would make it better. And what better way to do it than swallowing the bitter pill and have that decision be made by the model itself, on a case-by-case basis by learning it from data.
What's your workflow in MS Project? I've talked a lot about PM software with non-IT people who have needs that don't fit into the issue-tracking systems I know, so I'm interested to know what you use in MS Project. From my outside view it looks like just one big Gantt chart.
I have come to believe that static typing zealots haven't worked seriously on a large variety of (shipped) software projects. I certainly was one when I was in school.

Static typing is a good choice when the system you are implementing is already defined. It's great for implementing a well-defined algorithm or protocol, or a well-studied domain like game engines or financial exchanges or rocket ships. Basically, wherever correctness is necessary and possible.

Static typing is a bad choice when the system you are implementing is largely undefined, or actively evolving. That is, "the rest" of the software, where "software correctness" is undefined. Which includes things like a business, a new video game, a website, and scientific research. Because you will waste time building an ontology of types that can't possibly be known at the time, or worse, constrain the natural evolution of the project.

CS students often get a warped perspective of software, where everything is well-defined by their professor or some textbook or RFC or some other smart bloke, and they just have to implement it. In reality, the average software project is not this way.

The end result is Enterprise Java (formerly C macro hell). You get a bunch of CS grads who think static typing is the only answer working on some fuzzy business logic with Java. The conclusion is an unspeakable monstrosity of bad abstractions (and job security).
Agile (acknowledging the broadness of the category) doesn't account for poor estimation in any way. Agile methodologies simply refuse to answer "when will it be done"-related questions. Even with perfect estimators, it's an intractable problem when you can add new features of unknown complexity to the backlog at any time.

Waterfall is suited for projects where the outcome is known (e.g., guidance software for fancy new jet, embedded software, etc.) where establishing a deadline is necessary and possible because the desired feature set is fixed (at least in theory) and changes are locked behind a (likely multi-year) requirements and design process with contacts and lawyers.

Agile is better suited for exploration of a product space or implementation of projects where agility (surprise, surprise) to changing/unknown client needs is paramount. Clients don't know what they want till they see what they don't want, so agile is great for that type of build. The web-facing world loves agile, because the "end" goal is usually, "make money so we can hire more developers to build more website [whatever that means] to make more money to hire more developers...".

There are means of mitigating bad estimation (e.g., Spolsky's "Painless Software Schedules" and particularly "Evidence-Based Scheduling".), but you can't account for a 50 hour feature added 19 weeks into a project. Agile (acknowledging the broadness of that category) alone doesn't do anything to mitigate either bad estimation or surprise features, it simply trades "known deadline, fixed features" for "unknown deadline, flexible features".
That is most operating systems and devices these days.
Interesting, that's the one I don't really agree with. Bottleneck, yes, because it is a monolithic stream for the whole database. But corruption?

you are free to talk to any sales person, so after recognizing this particular sales person wasn't being helpful, you can talk to someone else including managers. if a sales manager realizes that answering one question is what's standing between you making a purchase or not, they will find you the answer. these people are all about "crushing it, bro" on their sales numbers. you can even go to a different dealership. there's also the internet.

Is there an Apple’s Elop at Google now? I am asking this in all seriousness. How does this cost for this phone make any sense!

Or maybe Google finally learned it from Apple that all you have do is declared a phone flagship and bump its cost dearly - then enjoy sights of people in long queues.

I wouldn't think it's "odd" - some things grow out of traditions that are specific to a specific ethnic or cultural group. It's fair to point out their roots and it'd be interesting, perhaps, if the group worked to be more inclusive and teach this past as a way to educate kids not to make the same mistakes their grandparents made.

Even if those mistakes had the positive side-effect of creating a nice family event.
This is cool! I think multiplayer first and web native is a great combo. Once WebGPU implementations are more widely available this will be a much easier way of getting into casual games, especially party games with friends. Streaming assets by default makes a lot of sense for web, I've always hated having to download 100GB before even opening a AAA game.

Input latency is too much for first-person or third person games. Do you plan to add client-side prediction? Can developers handle that themselves?

My language evolution went C > C++ > Java > Scala

Java was a huge boost, by eliminating the cognitive load of manual memory management.

Scala can be used as a "better Java" with less verbosity, but also adds a number of extremely useful features; Java has slowly added some of them into the language over the last 8 years.

I got a work trim truck about 5 years ago. No camera, no OnStar, no Bluetooth, no key fob, regular turn key, manual parking brake, etc. It's actually very basic and I love that. It was cheaper than any midsized or large SUV.

I would love it if I could keep it and turn it electric one day. Once the battery densities are 1kwh/kg it would probably swap nicely by replacing the engine/accessories/gas tank with batteries and replacing the transmission with an electric motor. The electronics in most electric cars are a turn off for me. I want it to be simple.
Name and shame the ISP! And update your DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation request for a larger prefix (try /60, that seems to be a common supported PD size for most at home ISPs).
I did not read the entire linked article but

For instance, I tested whether asking a model to produce "a b c d e" before solving a math problem improves performance.

is of course not what you would expect to work. It is not about dumping meaningless stuff into the input but intermediate results. If you have to add two long numbers but are only capable to add single digits, you want to dump the carry into the output and get this fed back as input so that you can take it into account when adding up the next two digits. Dumping unrelated stuff into the output will of course not help. Chain of thought does exactly this, it solves part of the overall problem and feeds that back for consideration when tackling the next piece of the problem.
I would sue the teacher and school if this happened to me… total BS.

Also plagarism and having other people do your work, or even take exams for you is as old as time. How is AI any different? Some trust is in order here. The students are the ones paying to be educated, if they cheat they are only cheating themselves anyways.

The point is that Apple makes no public commitment about how long any particular iPhone model will be supported for.
