>Latinex is by itself just one thing. But there’s also BIPOC.

There's also that ungodly garish universal "pride" flag that they can't stop adding new decorations to, even though a) the original rainbow flag was already definitionally inclusive of everyone; b) issues of racial discrimination and issues of discrimination around sexual or gender-based conduct or identity have nothing to do with each other; c) last I checked, the groups they're trying to pull together under this umbrella - group by group, rather than under a general unifying principle - often don't get along very well with each other.
> So they must believe the feature’s existence is a bigger threat to the company than not having it at all, right?

No, they’re probably simply doing the CCP’s bidding by allowing agents of the CCP, who already are in these countries, to use their drones to collect intelligence, disrupt operations, etc.
Yeah you're not wrong. I mean if you look at the bottom of most Reddit and HN threads, you just see pure spam or garbage. Upvotes let communities scale with fewer mods. But they come at the cost of groupthink.
If it was really a test, then why would it be sending environment variables via HTTP POST? There are many better ways to do this if you're legitimately deploying code remotely.

Multiagent Finetuning: Self Improvement with Diverse Reasoning Chains
Did you ever write something like this in a school essay?

"I think that people should do XYZ"

If so, and your English teacher was at least minimally engaged, they should have pointed out why the "I think" is entirely redundant and best removed.

The reader knows that this is your opinion. They may reasonably presume these are your opinions and that you are not writing the essay at gunpoint or while under the influence of alien mind control. Furthermore, no reasonable reader would mistake your opinion for some sort of imperative they are compelled to obey.

(Now, I hope this isn't misconstrued to mean that all opinions should be expressed authoritatively and imperatively. That is not always the right tone.)
It’s a low effort flex. As in: you’re unimportant, this is unimportant, and I’m very busy, so I can’t or won’t bother to capitalize. Which is ironic because it’s more effort to not capitalize.

Agreed. I became interested in Bitcoin in 2013. In 2017 I realized it was never going mainstream for payments when I saw CNBC talking about it without one reference to actually using it as money. I've become pretty cynical about the movement since then, though I wouldn't mind stumbling upon an old private wallet.
How do you get started on learning all that? I’ve never come close to getting such productivity out of Emacs.

Define "bigger threat".

It could be the feature was so half-baked that it kicked in and dropped a bunch of drones out of the sky and DJI had to cough up refunds. It could be that DJI knows something about upcoming legal issues with the current administration. It could be that Chinese intelligence wants flyovers of restricted airspaces.

DJI isn't "just" a company--it's an arm of the Chinese government. Trying to predict what's happening at the interface between those two is like trying to read tea leaves--only reading tea leaves is likely to be more accurate and consistent.
Nah roads are great and cars are great. They let people get around in ways that are much faster than public transit, with your friends and cargo, protected from the weather, without the safety issues, directly to your destination. If you overbuild and create density of inhuman levels, and don’t build adequate road infrastructure, you will have problems. But otherwise, it’s fine and it works very well in cities of low-mid density.
Check out improve.ai if you want to see this taken to the next level. We combined Thompson Sampling with XGBoost to build a multi-armed bandit that learns to choose the best arm across context. MIT license.
DJI introduced multiple "safety" features then lobbied for regulation making those features mandatory. They were already compliant with the regulations but their competitors weren't. It's a standard regulatory capture play.
That sounds more like mild annoyance than actual criticism. It seems, from your description, that Mr. Bob was a friend of Biden family.

Also We are talking about Biden who introduced Zelensky as __President Putin__ in an event organized for Zelensky. I refuse to believe Mr. Biden was able to commandeer or come with any of the plans Mr. Bob described.
Treating ideas coming from men or white people or other oppressor classes as not as good are a central tenet of woke thought.

yes but there could be many possible reasons, for instance

- it's muuch faster on mobile

- you're aiming to convey litheness to potential target audiences who will know to recognize it as intentional litheness

- you've gotten used to minimizing the amount of keystrokes necessary for communicating things, to the point it's second nature

- you've worked a lot in the past with older nlp systems, where ignoring capitalization was a given for inputs anyhow, and just got used to treating it as syntactic cruft only strictly necessary in more formal settings ;)
The basic issue is that any level of interviewing that a current level AI could achieve, could also be achieved by the person filling out a form or questionaire and then having an AI review their answers.

I guess the advantage (to the company) is that an AI interview could be conducted in real time so it would be harder, although far from impossible, for the interviewee to cheat.

But what's the benefit to the interviewee? Purely negative as far as I can see. Added time wasted in an extra interview compared to filling out a form at pleasure, and also the dehumanizing effect of being interviewed by a computer.
3 separate incidents and he put himself in harms way each time to save others. What a wonderful man.
This has been my experience. Foundation models have completely changed the game of ML. Previously, companies might have needed to hire ML engineers familiar with ML training, architectures etc to get mediocre results. Now companies can just hire a regular software engineer familiar with foundation model API’s to get excellent results. In some ways it is sad, but in other ways the result you get is so much better than we achieved before.

My example was an image segmentation model. I managed to create an dataset of 100,000+ images and was training UNets and other advanced models on it, always reached a good validation loss but my data was simply not diverse enough and I faced a lot of issues in actual deployment, where the data distribution kept changing on a day to day basis. Then, I tried DINO v2 from Meta, finetuned on 4 images and it solved the problem, handled all the variations in lighting etc with far higher accuracy than I ever achieved. It makes sense, DINO was train on 100M + images, I would never be able to compete with that.

In this case, the company still needed my expertise, because Meta just released the weights and so someone had to setup the fine-tuning pipeline. But I can imagine a fine tuning API like OpenAI’s requiring no expertise outside of simple coding. If AI results depend on scale, it naturally follows that only a few well funded companies, will build AI that actually works, and everyone else will just use their models. The only way this trend reverses, is if compute becomes so cheap and ubiquitous, that everyone can achieve the necessary scale.
Can I send an AI interviewee to answer the questions instead of me?

If the answer is yes, I have no problem with an AI interview.
I started doing development under a separate non-admin user on my MacBook. I switch to another user for personal stuff, or the admin user to install stuff with Homebrew. Doesn't protect from zero days but it's better than nothing.
I suspect that mold is not as narrow as you think. I bought most of my Sonos setup over a decade ago and it's still going strong because I never upgraded from the S1 app. It's the newer S2 app that has been horrendous.

I would not buy or recommend new Sonos products now. Occasionally I do think about adding to my setup but since the update debacle that's no longer an option. Over the years my Sonos has been pretty reliable, and very importantly, the wife and kids can use it easily. We just want "Play X in Room Y." It works very well for that. Even my nerdy self is OK with that... I have plenty of other things to nerd/worry about and I just want my music to play.

I did have a period of instability after I moved some Sonos speakers around, and I must say their tech support was pretty good (this was maybe four years ago). They looked at my logs and told me it was a weak signal issue, which I thought was ridiculous and initially dismissed... but after digging some more and troubleshooting my home signals, it turns out they were right.

Old Sonos with old S1 app is still great for me! It really pains me to see how far they have fallen.

It’s also only feasible if actions like this congestion charge are taken to tilt the scales. Most people would not use public transit if they could avoid it. When there is enough road infrastructure to match the density, private transit is preferred because you can drive directly to your destination, not have public safety issues like on the subway, haul cargo, and do it all quickly. The only way to make public transit attractive is to artificially and maliciously mismanage things to make driving cars slow and expensive. Which frankly is hostile towards people.

Jack Dorsey was a billionaire while running Twitter and censoring our feeds. This new donation-hungry initiative starts their appeal with: "Save Social Media From Billionaire Capture." They should be honest and say: "Save our social media from conservatives doing what the liberals were doing." Jack Dorsey is still a billionaire and still behind (some of) our feeds as even if people use customer domains, 99.99% of them will still rely on his service.

Agreed. Even as a relatively junior engineer at my first job, I realized that a certain amount of the job was not worth exposing interns to (like excessive amounts of Jira ticket wrangling) because it would take parts of their already limited time away from doing things that would benefit them far more. Unless there's quite literally no one "below" you, there's probably _something_ you can do to stop shit from flowing down past you.

If you look up historical photos and maps from a hundred years ago, one of the thing that you notice is that even pretty small towns in the US had local streetcars. In modern days, these same towns would be equally well served with small bus routes (you don't need all the infrastructure costs of a streetcar system, after all). But also note that there's a strong directionality to trips--a lot of these are going to be "going from Podunk, Ohio to Chicago" not "Chicago to Podunk, Ohio", so the unsuitability of Podunk, Ohio to effective transit isn't that detrimental.

There is a separate problem that bus transit in the US is almost invariably horribly laid out, but that has more to do with the US being culturally incapable of planning transit well, and especially the US being incurious about how transit works in places where it does work. Essentially, there's a blind spot (even among transit enthusiasts, annoyingly) that assumes that transit on anything less in scale than Manhattan is infeasible, so transit planning is equated with Manhattanization where it doesn't need to be.

> Those little mini speaker voice assistant things aren’t even in the same ball park. If they stick to their target audience they’ll be fine.

Sonos' product is convenience, experience, and decent audio, in that order. Mini speaker voice assistant things equal/beat them in 2 of those categories, and high-end audio brands beat them in the third, leaving them holding the bad in the middle.
I appreciate your story and feel for "A" and the women who adopted her. But I think we need to get beyond this idea that there are only two sides and you have to pick one or the other. I don't see why I can't agree with you and also agree with PG. I didn't feel any hate in his article and I imagine he would support the people who have been helping "A", i.e. you and your wife and her adoptive mothers.

I don't think anyone literally likes driving. Some people like racing, some people like drifting. But who the heck likes getting in their car, waiting at stop signs and lights, staring down a road for hours, and wondering whether the oncoming vehicle veering left is going to turn on their turn signal or straighten their path.
Musk firing people at random was not an exaggeration. My friend was head of all software at Tesla for the original car and much of the Model S development. Musk would routinely fire random folks in his department and he’d have to go to musk to get it undone. Often he had to put his job on the line threading to quit if he did not change his mind. Eventually musk took him up on it and my friend quit.

Immaterial. Virtue signaling about "virtue countersignaling" is equally unsubstantial tedium.
>When you couch the problem as being one of unearned advantages, the obvious implication is that you believe the solution is to take away something from the "privileged" group, which immediately puts many people on the defensive, especially if they feel like they're already having a tough time of things.

It's also radically different from what "privileged" originally means.

In an apolitical context, to have a privilege is to be consciously treated specially, in highly specific and well understood ways; this is because you have done something specific to earn it; and it's mutually understood that this is not an entitlement and it can be revoked at any time if you violate what's expected of you.

Whereas, in the modern sense, to "be privileged" is to be unconsciously treated specially, in vague and nebulous ways, because of nothing you did but rather because of facts of who you are and what you look like; this is just because life isn't fair; and the only way to fix the problem (if you see it as one) is (supposedly) to enact sweeping social change that will indirectly take it away from you.
My favorite recent discovery in the HiFi world (after losing interest about 15 years ago) are the WiiM network streamers. Connect them up to any old system via RCA, toslink or coax and you can:

- stream from a wide number of subscription services

- stream from your own DLNA server or samba share

- cast from Chromecast or AirPlay

- with multiple devices, you can do multi-room synchronized streaming

- apply parametric EQ, including (in the higher end models) auto room correction

- hook up a digital source (eg, TV) so you can apply EQ

- hook up an analog device (like a turntable) and stream it to the rest of the devices in the house

The app's surprisingly good, the firmware updated regularly.

The cheapest version is under $100. They're like Chromecast Audio's on steroids. When (eventually) they die or get superseded, it's easy to replace without needing to touch the rest of the system.

I have 3 at the moment, the main one hooked up my amp and speakers from the 80s, which I picked up used in the 2000s.

There are real dangers in code that appears to run but contains sneaky problems. I once asked ChatGPT to take a data set and run a separate t-test on each group. The code it generated first took the average of each group and then ran the test on that one value. The results were wrong, but the code ran and handed off results to my downstream analysis.
indeed. while i was reading up on this i kept wondering if there is no way to call a doctor without calling an ambulance. i know there are private doctors that you can call (i recently saw a report about a doctor who said that he gets called specifically because his patients do not want to be taken to a hospital (and don't need to)), but when you call emergency services then an ambulance seems to be the only option.

That's what I meant by backwards though. Especially in UI OnClick code etc., I'd rather know the context that this happens on click of whichever object it is, but instead I have to write the clicked code before the code that registers it with the object, whose name has more relevant info, and then I end up having to name an extra thing too and keep the name in sync
Sounds about right, 1 million neurons and potentially 1 billion synapses. Back in school I used to think computers and machines were so advanced and complex compared to boring old biology. It was such a silly misconception to be so many orders of magnitude off in complexity.

When I grew up online in the 90s, on IRC, AOL/AIM, ICQ and web forums, it was extremely common. Most of the people I know from then still do it, and I still do it with them and in many other places, although for whatever reason I don't do it here. Although it's 50/50 when on their phones now that phones auto-capitalize by default now.
A customer of mine still uses vagrant on a project, for local development. That project started in 2016. We are developing on a mix of Linux, Mac, Windows and it's not as straightforward as it could be. Linux is easier, Windows is messier.

A newer project fires up VMs from a Python script that calls an adapter for EC2 (with the boto library) when run on AWs and for VirtualBox (by calling VBoxManage) when running locally. That allows us to simulate EC2 locally: it's a project that has to deal with many long jobs so we start VMs for them and terminate the VMs when the jobs are done. That also runs better on our mix of development systems. WSL2 helped to ease the pains of developing on Windows. We call the native Windows VirtualBox, not the one we could have installed inside WSL2, but we keep most of the code that runs on Linux.
manage is quite charitable way of saying having a "next/more" button, but not having a "previous" button, lol.
