Finland has figured out a number of thing it seems other than homelessness.

Their education system is pretty interesting, and their policing system has some approaches to interacting with the community as well. If I can find the links I'll share.

Skepticism is fine, but it shouldn't be a reason to discount or dismiss something, nor does it mean to accept it. Take it in as a data point.
> Null separates the value

NULL is not a value.

NULL is a statement that a value is not available or unspecified reasons.

If you want a particular value where a query would return NULL, it's your job to replace the NULLs with the contextually-appropriate value, e.g., using COALESCE(), to provide it.

It's a convenience shortcut to allow more complicated data models to be rpersented in simpler table structures than a fully normalized NULL-free data model would require, and to provide information about missing data (which can be used with things like COALESCE, where appropriate) when a more complex data model is simplified into a resultset via a query with JOINS, etc.
I must be the only idiot to think that education and money aren’t the issue in the black community. Two-parent households and stability would sort a lot of things out in a generation. Dreams, goals, ambitions, and opportunities follow from stability. Money doesn’t fix emotional vacuums.

This is not meant to be inflammatory. I’ve had many conversations with black men about this, they actually put the idea in my head.
A bit of a shameless plug, but maybe it could be of interest. Having been through a similar journey some years ago I spent some time back then to design a variation of Knizia’s Battle Line/Schotten Totten for a standard deck:

It is not the first such variant, but one that I felt a bit more pleased with than the other variants I found.
I should keep this link handy for when people claim C is a simple language. Even without the GNU extensions, the examples here are pretty wretched.
More explicitly, since buckets in Python's Set implementation are the bottom N bits of the hash (where N depends on set size), this ensures linear sequences of ints (which are the most common type of int set) are all in different buckets, so zero collisions. This is the case except when the differences between integers in the set are multiples of powers of 2. But even then, the way Set is implemented, you don't see perf start to regress until like 2**20 or so. If everything in the set is multiples of 2**20, then they start to underperform better-distributed hashes. But it never gets more than like twice as slow.

So, it ends up being a matter of optimizing for the common case, but still being reasonably performant for the worst case.
Are you hiring people in 3rd world countries cause I dont understand how $300K can support 25 people?
We also have an indigenous people, the Sami (who are not always treated that well).
Okay, but this isn't a 4 year university loan. It's a masters program after she went back to school.

Someone pursuing a masters is much more likely to have a plan on how to turn that degree into better career progression or other opportunities. Especially a masters student who spent time in industry.

And honestly 5k loans to pay off 2-4 years later is about as good a loan debt as you're going to get. Paying off thst debt is more about having a career plan by that time than penny pinching for as low as loan value as possible.
This.

What makes it worse:

- Each "bad" term gets replaced by multiple alternative terms, often non-obvious, so good luck figuring out what people mean now. For example, MitM (Man in the Middle) was a well established technical term. Everybody knew what was meant, the term had no acutal gender association in the meaning, but now you instead read "machine-in-the-middle, meddler-in-the-middle, manipulator-in-the-middle, person-in-the-middle (PITM), or adversary-in-the-middle (AITM)".

- The "it's more descriptive" excuse was used as a very thin veil of justification even though the actual reason for the change was clear. So not only do you get to deal with the extra hundreds of hours of overhead, but you also have people lie to your face about why you're being forced to do that.

- It never ends. First it was "master/slave", then "master" in any context, and once that battle was "won", proponents of such policies started finding new "offensive" words.

But this year's TV at CES 2025 is also the the most exciting in terms of hardware!

RGB Mini-LED TV

116" Commercial Consumer TV.

163" MicroLED TV

Samsung Seamless MircoLED TV

4000nits QD-OLED with no MLA and New Blue OLED Compound.

QUAD / RGB Tandem OLED

We learned Image Processing Improvement and controller and how we are limited by processing power.

First over 95% BT 2020 Colour in Consumer TV. Arguably better 99.999% of off display screen tech out there regardless of consumer or pro level.

Laser TV

RGB LED Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector That is so much better than previous iteration.

Panasonic is back in US although that is not exactly news. But there presence and future roadmap in US gives confidence to the market.

Just the MicroLED is coming in price and size, the Mini-LED is moving up in size and lower price per inch, OLED is slowly moving up to 83" while improving performance and cost model in the below 75". All while greatly increasing image quality. And we learned there is SO much more to come in the next few years. Just when I thought the tech has gotten so good in the last 2-3 years we may have to slow down and with the law of diminishing returns. No we are not slowing down, we are even accelerating.

While may be disappointed with the software in TV 2025, the hardware is insanely great! I didn't even mentioned Sony B10, the potential Z series replacement!
Maybe you didn't feel like those programs existed once you were in, but I guarantee you that they're very active in "positive discrimination" at the hiring and promotion time.

Just last year Amazon in the UK was offering special referral bonuses to employees referring black people specifically for example. I saved the emails for posterity.

For managers of technical roles, they're also a strong push to promote women as fast as possible. My manager has told me about every woman in my team that he wanted to fast track their promotion. I've never heard the same about any of man, regardless of their skill. Of course I recognize that's more anecdotical than the referral thing, but it definitely exists.
If anything it reinforces it. Imagine grinding away at a tiresome game, selecting each move perfectly, yet mostly losing. The few Ws you do eke out are often the result of external forces you had no control over. And doing that all your life.

Doing the right thing even when your actions don't matter, when you'll probably fail, and when most people won't thank you for it, is possibly the purest form of heroism.
I know of a famous tech company where majority of workers were white, not even Asian and Indian people, who usually tend to over represent in tech. Around the BLM times they put in policy that they had to interview people of color. What most managers did was just interview people of color only to reject them, often judge the candidates too harshly to ensure no laws were broken. They often interviewed the same candidate for multiple positions, it was pretty obvious what they were doing. Obviously if they were investigated, nothing provable would ever come out. But stuff like that is pretty prevalent in tech.
>and bringing too many people into the country via immigration.

In a functioning economy, more immigration will just result in more housing being built, as long as the immigrants are working. Especially since the cost of housing construction is largely the cost of labor. Immigration is a distraction from the core inability to build more housing.
I did one of the more extreme sleep schedules for a little over a year. Generally I was happy I did it, and there are tons of times that I wish I could again, but external pressure prevent me from doing it again.

I always try to dissuade people from it. It's difficult to get into, and difficult to maintain. It plays hell with a social schedule where people expect you to be awake at certain times.
> Summary: It's not genetics.

No one said its genetics. They're saying its not only funding.
Companies also want to be in the middle of the pack when it comes to sociocultural norms. There is safety in numbers. When everyone was adopting DEI initiatives, it was the safest for you to do it too. Now that everyone is abandoning DEI initiatives, it's also the safest to abandon it. There is no upside in being the fastest when it comes to bucking society's norms.
affirmative action for hispanic people has always been uniquely absurd and exploited by effectively white europeans for as long as it has existed. my college counselor told me to mark "hispanic" on my college applications because I'm of Iberian descent, which I refused to do - but I know of multiple others who did and went to Harvard/MIT.
It can be many things, but it usually involves communication, which does not happen if people take turns talking about themselves.

People may debate something, exchange information, talk about common interests or events affecting them, joke around or do many other things.
I'd suggest you try a color blindness test. The green is very obvious, especially about 40% of the way down the whole image.
Article claims this fridge is colder than a regular one "to facilitate fermentation", but this doesn't make any sense. Fermentation is completely stopped in a regular fridge, you need higher temperature for fermentation.

Also this is not corroborated by any of the references in the article, which make no such claims about temperature. I am sure there are interesting reasons why one might want such a dedicated fridge, but the wikipedia article doesn't elucidate this mystery. The wikipedia article is basically garbage.
For whatever reason, it was far easier to do this on my phone than on my laptop, even after trying to fiddle with various combinations of zooming in/out and adjusting my distance to the screen. In some cases, it can also be easier to do without glasses (if you customarily wear them) as it makes the defocusing easier.

The effect itself is basically similar to the Magic Eye stereograms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Eye) which by themselves are pretty neat; your brain can rapidly detect subtle offsets in random patterns to reconstruct depth cues. In the case of “spot the differences”, the shimmering is due to the irreconcilable disparity between left and right images, which manifests visually as a glaringly obvious “unphysical” apparition - e.g. flickering between the left/right images, or appearing to be out-of-plane with the rest of the picture.
It’s fine for text messages. It takes 5-10 seconds to send a kb of data (1000 characters roughly) at its longest range setting. At shorter ranges it can do upwards of 20k per second.
Based on my experience with them, this isn't a technical or product issue, but a cultural one. (DD is very sales-driven, in a bad way)

> I spend a lot of time in cities and know others who do too. None feel menaced by people who are unhoused - why would that be menacing? - or high. High people generally don't know you are there, and are easily avoided. I've had zero problems; I don't know of anyone else who has

This is completely detached from reality. I find it hard to believe you are being truthful unless you're doing some sort of gotcha where you carry a gun or are some sort of jiu-jitsu master. Here's an example of people being afraid of the homeless and another of drug addicts, just from last year in NYC but there's thousands of examples.

- Why throngs of NYC’s homeless are choosing Penn Station over shelters — and leaving commuters in a constant state of fear https://nypost.com/2024/08/28/us-news/nycs-homeless-cheer-pe...

- Business owners and residents along Midtown Manhattan’s “Strip of Despair” are so frequently robbed and harassed by drug-addled “psychopaths” that they’ve stopped trying to resist — or even bother calling the cops for help. https://nypost.com/2024/06/17/us-news/horror-stories-from-ny...

I don't mean to say with this that ALL of them are dangerous, but you trying to portray that you never even heard of someone being afraid of homeless or drug addicts and the trouble they sometimes create is like saying you don't know which color the sky is. Like you honestly never seen an aggressive person who is high?

Anyway if not, I can tell you I've had a drunk homeless guy throw a bottle at me for no reason other than walking home. The next day I talked to him and now I know Cyril, my local homeless drunk and high Russian guy, and sometimes give him socks, but even he admits that when he drinks and huffs nitrous he gets a bit crazy.

Just because they say that doesn't mean they'll do that. People lie, they systematically sexually harass for years, and only if its made public will they actually do anything about it.

In my experience girls want to do CS but they lack confidence and are given too many opportunities to opt for something easier where they think they’ll be more successful. (I don’t know about any other of the diversity axes as much.)
As someone who got LASIK surgery in my mid-20's, I want to double-underline this comment. As a fun fact for anyone not in the know, at least for the procedure I had, it is normal to have stronger halo effects in your vision basically for life. Don't get me wrong, the tradeoff is amazing and I don't regret it in the slightest, but for those who may not know, stronger halo effects means you see sources of light notably brighter than they'd otherwise be. If you've ever had your pupils dilated at the doctors, it's basically that at about 60% strength if you aren't in daylight.

And this has made driving at night for me an exercise in being blinded continuously by cars in the opposing lanes. At several points in my life I have now had to start wearing fucking sunglasses when I drive at night because otherwise, while I can see the headlights, I can't see anything the hell else including, but not limited to, retroreflectors, parked cars, and PEOPLE. All because every asshole with a newer car has lights bright enough that they can spot planes when ascending a hill.

Most people have little to no money, hence being without the ability to afford housing. You’re obviously not familiar with the social security system we have in place now. The only thing lacking is the inspiration to escape that system as Medicaid and social security insurance don’t allow for any savings so participants are frightened to lose the only thing keeping them and their family alive. Provide them with housing at no expense, higher education at no expense, and a food stipend and you’ll see a lot more success and a lot less homeless.
Can you provide the stats? I'm looking at the BLS data and I don't really see anything relevant.
We've been advertising to get someone to take over the lease on a commercial building. Surprisingly, we've had several of what seem like very obvious scam attempts - people stringing us along, not trying to bargain (we are in a haggling country, people always try to bargain), asking us to wait unreasonable amounts of time, and finally when pressed breaking down into logical inconsistencies. So, not even good scam attempts.

I was wondering, what's the point? I mean, it's a building. You pay money, you sign the lease (in person), you get the use of the building. No money, no building. Where's the scam opportunity?

The only thing I can think of is that they're trying to get enough data and personal info to clone our voices and use that to try and gain access to bank accounts or to scam our relatives. Even if I'm wrong in this case, this seems like a major new vulnerability in society. I mean, if someone who sounded (and with video AI, perhaps even looked) exactly like me called up my mother and pretended I'd been violently robbed or had an accident, she'd transfer money in a heartbeat.

I'm considering that I should set up some kind of code system with my family for this. As in, if I ever end up in a situation where I need help, I'll use a particular code phrase. If I don't know it, assume it's an AI clone.

It's true that having a two-parent household helps children's outcomes, but it's somewhat inflammatory to ignore the impact that targeted violence has had on black communities, or that simply pretending that didn't happen and that "they should just get their shit together" is a remotely compassionate stance.

> Let's say I, a man, went to work in a traditionally female-dominated field like nursing, and found that the other nurses there had named their cafeteria dishwasher "Hubby" as a joke because it took forever to work.

Actually, this issue is in nursing. If you talk to male nurse organizations they do actually have issues of e.g. constantly being saddled with the heaviest patients or most physical labor because they're assumed to be strong, not having sexual harassment taken seriously from patients, and to be expected to take one for the team in handling the patients that were sexually inappropriate with female nurses. It does grate over time!
function ops(n) { return Math.exp (((64/9) * (1/3) + 1) * (Math.log(n) * (1/3)) * (Math.log(Math.log(n)) * (2/3))) }

> ops(2*16)

121106.42245436447

> ops(2*32)

38178499.24944067

> ops(2*32) / ops(2*16)

315.24751929508244

So if ops(2*16) costs $8, then ops(2*32) costs $8 * ops(2*32) / ops(2*16) = $2521.98. Far more than $8^2.

The cost reaches the millions for 64 bits, and ~$165 trillion for 128 bits:

> 8 * ops(2*64) / ops(2*16)

5601332.962726709 (far more than $8^2^2)

> 8 * ops(2*128) / ops(2*16)

165647073370.16437 (far more than $8^2^2^2)

Note that this is increasing faster than the number of bits squared:

> ops(2*32) / 32 * 2

37283.690673281904

> ops(2*64) / 64 * 2

20701824.831895076

> ops(2*128) / 128 * 2

153052707259.34015

As the wiki page says, it's super-polynomial in the number of bits.

If you still disagree with all of this, can you explain what's wrong with this method of calculating the worst-case cost of factoring the number n?

Cost(n) = ops(n) * Cost(2^16) / ops(2^16)

Or what you don't understand about this way of calculating it?
