I guess what we learn from this is that not everyone is as enterprising as you? While on some level I’d say that, of course you can do it if you want to. There’s many people for whom that is just too much of a leap, and it feels unfair to say they don’t deserve happiness just because they can’t make themselves seek it.
Finding evidence to be obnoxious because of political associations is anti-science. You could make a moral argument that humans shouldn't be allowed to know certain things because we can't be trusted with that knowledge, but that's separate from trying to understand reality.

> The genetic variation across one race (say black) is much greater than the variation between races.

Why did you say that? Are you implying that there must be a wider range of IQs among various ethnicities within a race than between races? That's not a logical conclusion. Do you have some other chain of logic in mind?

By the way, I only use the word race loosely. I really mean ethnicity. Although the findings do still broadly apply to the classic 3-ish races.

If we can keep unlimited memory, but use only a selected relevant subset in each chat session. This should help. Of course the key is 'selected', it's another big problem. Like short memory. Probably we can make summaries from different perspectives on idle or 'sleep' time. Training into model is very expensive, can be done only from time to time. Better to add only the most important, or most used fragments. It likely impossible to do on mobile robot, sort of 'thin agent'. If done on supercomputer we can aggregate new knowledge collected by all agents. Then push new model back to them. All this is sort of engineering approach.
They don't have to worry about reputation, they can just grease Congress's pockets as they've been doing for the past 2-3 decades despite blatant problems. As long as they can keep blocking American competitors from emerging, they'll be fine.
Yeah... I don't know what you think I was saying. But I'm making the case that the news should cover issues that people actually face... And that an uptick in representation of different people's viewpoints and experiences is actually a positive and reasonable thing. It would be more informative if your data had that as a percentage of total articles. Because the case I'm making is that we went up from like <1% of articles talking about race to closer to 20-30% of articles talking about it. The other thing to consider is what qualifies as an "article" in there with the advent of the internet.

It's actually making my exact point that "diversity and inclusion" were mentioned in 0 articles in the 1990s. I'm saying that this is a relevant thing to more than 0% of the population, so there should be representation of that accordingly. And now that we have more articles talking about it, it seems reasonable that some percentage of news articles (above 0) would be discuss these topics.
A broken clock is right twice a day. the 787 fleet has been flying since, what, 2011, without a single hull-loss event.

There was a youtube documentary I saw at least 5 years ago (before the max disasters), who had a hit piece on boeing. They duped them into letting them film in the (North|South) Carolina plant (787 I believe), until they started asking pointed questions about safety and were asked to leave. They interviewed (off-site) one of the hourly manufacturing employees who attested to a bunch of careless practices. This was right about the time one of the Middle Eastern airlines said they only wanted 787's from Seattle, not the Carolina plant.

Even though their documentary proved prescient with the Max problem, I still don't think they were able to really connect anything. IIRC most of the documentary focused on mechanical issues, leaving pliers/plastic junk inside the airframe, whereas the root-cause turned out to be a systems engineering: MCAS and allowing cost-saving on one AOA sensor.

I would try to find it, but given all the recent press, I highly doubt I could. It may not have been Youtube, it could have been Al-Jazeera or Vice, etc. But if you pick the most popular flying vehicle and then start a doomer prophecy, of course there will eventually be something that makes it sound like you were right.

Wondering how this compares with other cloud gateway solutions. Does anyone have any experience running Kong Gateway in production?
FWIW, if you go back further on the charts I linked, the income measures outstrip the inflation measures by even more. I think the starting point of January 2021 is pretty much the worst you can make that particular comparison look, if the end date is today. (Which is definitely convenient for the "it's all Biden's fault narrative!)

That first article is focused on making the case that inequality is a big problem. And on that, I certainly agree! But the amazing thing about the pandemic recovery in the US is that inequality has actually improved. The recovery has been better for lower wage workers and worse for higher wage workers. This is not unrelated to the bleak feeling in "tech" at the moment; we are among those higher wage workers for whom the recovery has been relatively less robust.

And again, the starting and ending points matter a lot. That article from 2015 showing how bad the financial crisis and "great recession" were just aren't very relevant to this discussion of "is the economy good right now?". It's true that the great recession was incredibly awful! But since them we've had a period where the economy was good again, and global upheaval due to a pandemic, and a complicated recovery from that upheaval. So that's the period that is more relevant, IMO.

I think the second article is more interesting though. I'd certainly be interested to see a fresh analysis of that same thing.

But I honestly really wonder what people use to anchor their expectations for real wage growth. I think it's pretty clear why it's super bad for it to be negative (that is for nominal wage growth to be less than inflation), but how high "should" it be?

I guess, to me, all else equal - that is, for the same work at the same company, without getting promoted or taking on new responsibilities or switching into a new role at a new company (or a different organization within the same big company) - I don't expect my income to grow much if at all above the rate of inflation. And I don't think the aggregate wage data captures this kind of income growth through career progression (nor is it intended to).

So I dunno, I'm unsure about it, but when I see "real wages haven't grown much", I kind of think, ok, but should they even be expected to grow much?

Again, I'm specifically talking about real (that is, inflation adjusted) wages here. Of course everyone expects nominal wages to increase over time, but I think that's mostly because we also expect inflation to be nonzero.
I think it’s more that we routinely see very poor and mentally ill people in the US get zero support?

It’s not a great stretch to go from there to assume they don’t have any social security at all.

If it’s available but many people cannot or do not know to make use of it, is it really social security? If they do make use of it and it’s still not enough, does that change things?
100%. Ask any one of these people to quantify how their view on reality changed and it'll be vague transcendentalist talking points and hand waving around things like something something spiritualism, something something deeper connection with nature, something something cosmic holographic kaleidoscopic reality.

no love for rx580s, alas.
Oof. That sounds in dire need of some dev resources.

I disagree with that last bit though. First, I think bandit's more than a "mediocre linter". More importantly, it's a free, open source, CI-friendly app that could be plugged into any reasonably normal build pipeline. It would have caught that. If bandit would have, I'm sure any number of other more advanced tools would too. The equally free ruff checker reports: "S604 Function call with `shell=True` parameter identified, security issue". What I take from that is that there's no reasonable amount of code analysis at all. If they don't even run linters, I'm sure something like mypy is out of the question. Are there unit tests? I don't have confidence of it based on this code alone.
Oh, I see. I was having a hard time with that one. Thanks!
They aren't even allowed to make things worse, only better. This seems like pointless fear-mongering. Even if they don't care what people think, I can't imagine a practical way for this to affect anything.
I went to primary school in the 80s and 90s and even back then it was pretty hard to be held back a grade level. Typically it only happened when a kid missed a lot of school, like they were hit by a car and spent 2 months in the hospital. Failing grades alone didn't usually cause it, at least the kids who seemed completely uninterested in school still somehow managed to graduate.

DuckDB being able to query parquet files directly is a big win IMO.

I wish we could bulk insert parquet files into stock PG.

Very true. Self-confidence and grit are immensely important in overcoming or even just rationalizing the obstacles of life, doing so in an almost logical way without letting a person's self-defeating emotions or perceived shortcomings get in the way. It's such a huge divider and it singularly is based on what kind of adult(s) that person had in their life when they were young.
As another college non-graduate that has friends that are graduates and non-graduates the graduates tend to live more fulfilled lives, regardless of income level.

If you look at the graph again, not all of them are worse, which means it's obviously possible to make it on par or close to it. But regardless, the complaint was "too much latency for many games", which is not the same as "worse". And I don't think this amount of latency is too much for the vast majority of games.

>It’s really disheartening to hear so many objections to “race” or “class” stories on NPR as these are the pieces that speak of experiences like my own

They could reasonably apply to me, too (I'm Jewish, raised in a Christian town, was wildly bullied through middle school for being Jewish). Yet somehow I've always felt that aspect of my identity was the least interesting about me. I don't care about Judaism, or Jewishness. After the Nth Holocaust movie it was like "Enough already, I get it." I wanted to talk about science fiction and physics and music and girls and sailing and yoga and computers and all kinds of other things. It's a strange impulse to want to "center" aspects of yourself that other people feel are important but you don't. (Of course, Jewishness is odd, because later in life people wanted to talk about it because of their positive prejudices - this was, if anything, even more annoying, because it was something I didn't care about and it was uncomfortable flattery and it was well-meaning so it was hard to put the kabosh on it.)

It's funny but I notice how many of the liberals pushing against left-wing extremism are Jewish. Jonathan Haidt comes to mind, but there are many others (who currently escape me). My hypothesis is that we are, as a group, relatively recently assimilated, and we know how much worse it could be, and how damn good Enlightenment Culture is compared to all the rest, and how far America has come with Jewish acceptance. Assimilation is great because it works both ways - I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see people use words like "schmuck" or "kosher"! I don't think it would have helped me then, or helped now, to have "race" stories about Jews in American Christian suburban middle schools. If anything, I can imagine making it much worse, giving me a victim complex and a habit of blaming the system, instead of taking my social L's, and out-performing the shit out of my dumb-ass classmates, and laughing all the way along the rosy path of nerd-dom. Maybe one thing Jews really do have is a sense of humor about racism and bigotry, since we've dealt with so much of it over time. But I recall no stories of Jewish minorities guilting the majority into "centering" their experience and hating themselves and their own culture. And if I did I don't think I'd see this as a win, but as a dastardly act of passive-aggression and dominance that is unhealthy for both groups. Oppression is not the way, of either the minority OR the majority. We grow and merge and love each other and take on the best qualities of each and that's awesome.
Christian Science Monitor has been my favorite news source for a long time despite not really being religious. It's so objective and fair even on the most contentious of topics, and really tries to understand the human experience.

They were founded by the same woman, Mary Baker Eddy, like a century ago, but today they just have one specifically-cited Christian Science article in each print.

It seems they may have the same owner still, but seems like they very much have editorial independence, judging by the things I read.

Is not the same as "people who are poor are that way because they disproportionately are genetically predisposed to have low IQs", which is the gist of the original comment I replied to.

WTF? You are the product of your genetics AND your life experience. If anything, I've always felt that the latter, not the former, is the dominant factor. Granted, there are other biological factors apart from genetics that may disadvantage you at birth (e.g. exposure to alcohol / drugs / tobacco before birth). But to suggest that genetics is "most of the story" in determining your lifelong socioeconomic success, I find to be absurd.

But the goto state machine is no easier to understand than the one with gotos.

There was an argument like this on the comp.lang.c newsgroup a few years ago. Someone proposed a coding problem: I think it was writing a program that removes comments from C source, but preserves preprocessing directives and all else.

So various solutions were posted.

I wrote one that used a state machine based on goto; no control structures at all beyond assigning to variables and if/goto.

That original poster then revealed his solution. It consisted of mutually tail calling functions.

He specifically criticized the goto graph solution.

I claimed they are basically the same, and to bolster my argument, I wrote a trivial simple text filter which converted that tail calling solution to a goto graph.

Tail calling is not a higher level feature compared to goto. It is only syntactic sugar which leaves the program with the same organization.

In some ways, the goto program is easier to understand. Why? Because:

1. The variables of the graph are all declared together in one place. Say you have a local variable x. All goto graph blocks that refer to x are referring to the same thing. In the tail program, every function that does something with x has to declare it for itself as its own parameter. It's not obvious that those x's are supposed to be the same entity.

2. Typically, functional languages, like C, do not have named parameters. The state is passed among the tail-calling function via strictly positional arguments. Not all functions have all the state variables, so a given state variable could be argument 3 in one function or argument 1 in another function.

In the goto program it's very clear. If you have

bar:
x = s + 1;
goto foo;

we know: oh okay, this block updates the x state from s, and goes to foo. In the functional version:

bar(s) -> foo(s + 1)

we don't know what s + 1 is doing. We have to read foo:

foo(x) -> ...

ok, we know that s + 1 will be called x in foo. But is that consistent? Is it the same as every other x we see everywhere in the tail call graph?

We easily see that consistency in the goto graph: there is a single x variable in the scope of the entire graph; anything that assigns to x is preparing a new value for that x.
Sounds like a hardware decoding issue to me
> Model the conflict explicitly.

If you reject relying on major versioning as the mechanism of detecting that conflict (as you declare it “nonsense”), how do you go about “modeling” the conflict. Like you say, a major new version is a new package. What is the model for that, apart from the thing designating it as that? The API? The behavior of your calls to that API? The infinite unknown scope of internal changes not exposed directly in the API?

I’m not trying to dismiss your comment, I sincerely don’t understand what you’re suggesting people do.

I mean, I listen to a lot of NPR for entertainment/humor/etc... WWDTM, PCHH, This American Life, Planet Money.

If the complaint is about #2, then I don't see it in these NPR shows. So I'm assuming they must be talking about #1. OR, they're complaining cause not all of the newscasters are white (they sampled Garrison Keillor, and the Car Talk guys as their examples)? Either way, feels like more of a problem the listener is grappling with than a problem with the actual content, to me.
Why do you think religion isn’t important enough to be discussed in a major newspaper?

Check out the Matter of Opinion podcast. Douthat is very comfortable engaging in give and take with liberals who have very different views. He presents orthodox Catholic opinions yes, but he’s intelligent enough to understand what’s a good or a bad argument.
A more optimistic takeaway is that if you set out to solve a hard problem then you might be surprised about your tech's applications elsewhere. Between 1983 and 1989 they built a company that they went on to sell for ~25 million, or ~64 million in 2024 dollars. I don't know how much went into it but it doesn't sound like an obvious failure.
