That sounds like a very personal definition of "true neutral". And also an unworkable one.

Take the use of reclaimed slurs, for example. When used against the discriminated group by a dominant group, their intention is often to cause harm. When used within the group, the intention is to reappropriate the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reappropriation

Similarly, harassers will use terms in ways that are plausibly read different ways depending on who they're talking to. So something that might sound innocuous or just odd when directed at me will be correctly read as a racist attack when directed at somebody else.

And that's not even counting when they'll just come up with new terms so they can be awful in ways that are novel enough that automated filters or out-of-date moderators won't catch. E.g.: https://www.vice.com/en/article/bv88a5/white-supremacists-ha...

In short, because there's a great deal of identity-based hate in the world, identity-blind moderation ends up being an aid to the identity haters out there.
And as the saying goes: all models are wrong (but some are useful). You're going to have to sit down and do the thinking eventually anyway. May as well start by incorporating it into your process from the beginning.
I agree. And I believe that the value will keep declining.
This is amazing. How much does it cost per image?
In that case you would want to use another tool that is more manual than automatic.
This is a very fun read. Here’s a taste:

> He liked to fit a whole onion into the hollowed-out heel of a loaf of French bread and eat it as if it were an apple. He had an extraordinary appetite for onions, the stronger the better, and said that “Good ale, raw onions, and no ladies” was the motto of his saloon.

As a lover of both crusty baguette ends and onions, I can’t wait to try this.
Don't underestimate how important that is. I can tell an Oracle web app a mile away and I immediately now it is going to be an absolute pain to use: UI components too small/big; standard form controls missing; horrible lag etc
Usually it is because the rights have reverted to the author and the publisher no longer has rights to publish the book.

Meanwhile, the author doesn't own the rights to the cover art/design so they can't just put it up either.

I'm not sure how else you'd want to handle it.
1. You're not going to "master" programming in university. You'll barely learn the fundamentals of it in university. Aside from the "total f---ing joke" nature of school, you simply won't be there long enough to get very far past beginner level while you're there.

2. If you find it hard to be motivated by programming, it might not be for you. A lot of "master" programmers often don't even go to university for it because they don't need to. Programming isn't for everyone. The masters of it are normally the people who can't be stopped from programming. They started one day because they were interested, not because it was the first day of class on the subject.

I'm just now going to university at 27 (for InfoSec, but I have some programming courses), started learning programming in my teens on my own at home. Personally I think that unless you get into a top-name school with a really good programming department (e.g. Harvard or MIT), it's a total joke and a waste of time. You'd be better off doing a free MOOC (I suggest MIT's CS50x).

In university you're going to be getting treated like a toddler, and you're going to be getting a... let's say filtered... view of the programming world. I can't count the number of times they've tried to teach me something that was demonstrably incorrect. There is no recourse either, and no way to share anything with your fellow students, because (to the ruling class's delight) you're all isolated from each other in online "simulators".

They'll also teach you to think in detrimental ways. You'll learn that OOP is "higher" or "more evolved" form of programming. Won't even hear the phrase "functional programming". Won't learn about good operating systems, Windows is "the current OS" as opposed to "the old ones", Linux doesn't exist or is so niche you needn't acknowledge it. It's "unethical" to pirate software. Privacy invasions and telemetry are good.

I don't have much respect for university, especially for programming.
I feel old and/or out of it

"Why not make Rye the cargo for Python? Will Rye retired for uv?"

I didn't know the Python ecosystem was this vast, I've gotten by with `pip install` and `git clone` for literally every ML project I've worked on for 3 years.

EDIT: In an attempt to contribute something more valuable:

- Astral is a company that is trying to make better Python tooling, as in more performant and easier to use. The major examples given are in Rust

- Rye is a personal project to build an automated Python dep and venv management that was released a year ago

- uv is a recently released tool by Astral that is similar

- The Rye project owner talked with someone at Astral and they figure long-term, Astral's in a better position to invest than a personal project, so Astral "will being taking stewardship" of Rye / Rye is old yeller'd
Am a privacy advocate, yet think this might be an (understandable) overreaction.

I remember older generation tech used in digital signage applications that wanted to identify ages and genders to show them appropriate content, say apparel for example. It ran locally and was well meaning (enough).

Unfortunately in a world with Meta, ubiquitous telemetry, Ring doorbells, NSA, and data breaches and brokers, … we can’t trust anyone to do the right thing any longer.

So this type of benign-ish functionality, which would have been all local just two decades ago, unfortunately now can’t be trusted either.

Still, I’m very happy to hear a young person or two being concerned. Last trip to a college campus there was mandatory app and no cash accepted in many places.
Having until recently worked for AT&T I suspected this was the case based on the nature of the problems and the timing of when it started - however I am a bit surprised that the repair took as long as it did. I'm wondering if this broke something in their Openstack environment that hosts most of their LTE SDN?

I’m actually giving a presentation tomorrow to my team about a tool I was building to leverage our runbooks (came out of a hackathon) and this just blows my app out of the water. I’m really stoked to give this a try and possibly contribute back by creating a connector for our messaging app. Thank you so much for making this available and for explaining so much about the architecture.
I pulled the vendor's brochure; if you were curious what a vending machine would use this information for...

They collect demographics on WHO is purchasing what items including gender, age, etc. They use this information for targeting advertising (inc. with "partner media brokers").

They're also proud that when users install their app, it uses "gamification" to increase sales (whatever that means).

See here, they're super proud of it too:

It's very interesting. I wish I could observe it.

Don't you wonder though how evolution allowed this trait to come so far though, especially with it being so prevalent.

Potentially it meant that for centuries there have been children with poor school grades who simply went off into lower-income careers that they were suited to.

Yep. One thing about manufacturing is that there are economies of scale everywhere. If we had to build a Saturn V from plans, we'd run into tons of problems. For one, the plans don't actually have everything you need to know. Tons of information is in people's heads. For a lot of the manual work, it's not even necessarily something they can explain. Building something with obsolete methods of fabrication is very difficult, but also the Saturn V was so optimized that switching materials or fabrication techniques would be very difficult. On the F-1 for example, they just barely got combustion to be stable. If you started substituting things, it's very possible it would become unstable again and they'd have to go do all the debugging they did out at the Edwards test stands again.

For almost everything, doing something a lot of times over a short period of time is way cheaper than doing something a small number of times, especially if there's a long time between them, and the employees have quit/retired and the tooling/machinery/suppliers have been disposed of, gone out of business, or moved onto other things.
Bought a PineTime for $27 plus shipping. Wear it while running to measure my BPM. I send the BPM to the Gadgetbridge Android app via Bluetooth. Upgraded Infinitime via Bluetooth. Have not messed around with the OS code yet.

Have been happy so far.
Yeah, same. As a matter of policy, I don't take incentives, commissions, kickbacks, etc, for anything. My dad was super into points-related financial games, so I get it, but I don't need to give the professional manipulators of the world any more headspace than they already have.

This "The team found that noise-induced hearing loss, which affects millions of Americans, stems from cellular damage in the inner ear that is associated with an excess of free-floating zinc — a mineral that is essential for proper cellular function and hearing." seems to say that it is too much, not too little zinc and it is the zinc that is free floating in the hearing system, not bound to other molecules. The potential treatment is some molecule that can get into the inner ear without causing damage and which will bind with the free zinc. They wonder whether this might reduce or eliminate the symptoms. My question is what are some of the candidate molecules that seem of low risk and which might do this? The full paper is here: https://www.pitt.edu/pittwire/features-articles/hearing-loss....

For “cloud-native” apps, JuiceFS is not needed.

S3 is not designed for intensive metadata operations, like listing, renaming etc. For these operations, you will need a somewhat POSIX-complaint system. For example, if you want to train on ImageNet dataset, the “canonical” way [1] is to extract the images and organize them into folders, class by class. The whole dataset is discovered by directory listing. This where JuiceFS shines.

Of course, if the dataset is really massive, you will mostly end-up with in-house solutions.

In all honesty, these are the kind of clients I politely point at someone else. They seldom have the resources to fund the requirement, and one absurd requirement leads to another.

I'm sure they had good reason, and good on you for pulling it off, but trying to keep Windows 3.1 up for multiple years sounds like a risky task to take on. Who knew there wasn't another time-sensitive bug in there that kicked in at say 365 days?

To be fair the insane requirements I've come across are just delusional so they're easy to walk away from.

Google had a very successful payments app called Tez in India. They merged that into Google pay during a flutter rewrite so that they can say things like “Google pay has 200 million users in 120 countries” even though all 200 million of those were in India.

In India, Google pay is a client for the UPI platform. You could send money from Google pay to Whatsapp pay for example.

Interesting! What do those scripts do?
I'm at 329 kB of JS. I've been building on the same app for 10 years. That's a lot of cruft build up. And I'm still nowhere close to any of these numbers. I've got React, jQuery, lodash, and I don't know what else in there.
It's not worse, that can only be a bad faith interpretation of what I described.

It's like arguing that if the government decides it needs more pens and decides to purchase them, causing a pen manufacturer to be able to expand their operation, the public has lost because instead the government should've put the far higher effort required into becoming a pen manufacturer themselves.

Since it apparently wasn't clear, in this model, NASA pays as a customer, everyone tolerates higher risk of failure, company gets to own and sell its product and NASA ideally gets to buy future rides on the product too. This "private" model allows NASA to cause a bunch of companies to develop and attempt to sell competing products, encouraging cost reductions and independent technology development, as is happening in rocketry with SpaceX, RocketLab, Firefly, Relativity etc.

In the public-private partnership model, NASA pays much much more money, tolerates zero risk of failure, the company never puts in its own investment and has a guaranteed profit on top of whatever the project costs. On top of that, while the public technically owns the technology, it's ownership without meaning, because it isn't practical to switch to having a different company do manufacturing. Every time NASA wants another unit, they still have to pay the company a large sum of money to build and deliver it. This discourages innovation and encourages cost inflation. It leads to rockets that cost $4B+ per launch, unable to be built at faster than 1 per year, using outdated technology.

It's evidence of a systematic suppression of white people, with roots in racism and cultural Marxism. Of course you're right that it hasn't escalated out of control yet. Except that whole BLM thing where people burnt down businesses and terrorized cities for months. That's just a taste of what's coming if we don't promote actual tolerance instead of Division Exclusion and Indoctrination.

There are many labels I could apply to Vice, but I'm reasonable sure "propaganda darling" of the "real owners of this country" would not be near the top. Were you thinking of Fox or New York Times or something?
I think the key difference here is that the digital signage technology you speak of, the recognition was a necessary requirement to show the appropriate content, clothing for example.

In this case, the recognition doesn't do anything for the end user of the vending machine. It is purely data for other brokers to use. The vending machine didn't say to the user that people of their demographic were buying Diet Coke over normal Coke.

Slapping facial recognition on something that didn't have it before, without any obvious functionality or benefit for the persons face being scanned is very much cause for concern, in my opinion.
Isn't that generally how customers work?

The obvious reality is ADHD is a means to sell meds and psych appointments. You cannot escape homeostasis and you just end up with people dependent on a drug for the entire life where the effectiveness has completely waned and they are worse than when they started.

It's unbelievable that ADHD diagnoses are increasing at the same time almost everyone is completely addicted to social media. If you start prescribing stimulants for ADHD when all they needed was to get off social media...you are going to fuck up an entire generation.

The neurodevelopment dopamine theory is the reason why ADHD people get these smart drugs and no one else does. It makes them safe from addiction. But its entirely unproven.

I’m sure this is real but just for fun I’m entertaining the idea that someone is trolling — either with a fun dialog title or the app name.

I worked at a company in the late 2000s that moved to an office with automatic urinals. These were fairly novel at the time and had a matte black plastic unit with a flush handle that also had a shiny window made of dark, IR transparent plastic. It was clearly some kind of proximity sensor for the autoflush but some joker made an official “do not touch the cameras” sign that wound a few people up.
These study’s depend on reported side effects - and those reports require doctors to know about and go through the reporting process. However, few care to assign negative outcomes as a direct result of a vaccine. The argument goes that it is impossible to “prove” the vaccine caused the problem so it is just an unfounded correlation.
There are really no incentives for doctors to track and make such reports.

During COVID I personally knew lots of people who had absolutely no issues with the vaccine and no bad outcomes. I did know a few who had a blood clot, developed long term fatigue, and in one case developed acute pancreatitis and was hospitalised for a couple of weeks.
In the few cases where friends had negative outcomes after the vaccine none of their doctors reported those adverse outcomes due to the vaccine.

So those few friends came away feeling like they were negatively impacted by the vaccine and no one was willing to recognise it. Then they become part of the popular mummer about the risk of vaccines while official results like this show how safe the same vaccines are.

I don’t really see how to resolve this. There are no real incentives to report adverse reactions outside of a clinical study. And there are indeed totally unrelated incidents that happen around many medical treatments and procedures. How is the average person supposed to sort that out.

It seems like it provides a large space for distrust to develop .
> how is that different to Grumman building the Apollo moon lander?

NASA wholly owned and operated the lunar lander after it was built. Intuitive Machines owns and is operating the machines it built for NASA and can use the technology for other customers.
NASA of 2024 does not need human space flight capability, because that has been successfully commercialized.
Something about the language gives me a queasy feeling, not fully defined but feels like it has to do with how splainy [sic] the tone is, with the undertone being overpresumptuousness, or maybe it's just the frequentist in me reacting to their priors.

Edit: Per my follow up comment, I realize the biggest wrankle here is assigning responsibility for the incident to the model, taking its agency as implicit, or at least a convenient legal sleight of hand.
