>Even if you believe that women sharing notes with each other is "petty and toxic", just think of it as an incentive for men to behave themselves appropriately.

You don't know what it's like to be a man. Some women are crazy, and their word is taken by default. You can double that effect easily by not giving the guy a chance to find out or issue a defense. I'm quite sure a lot of the complaints are based on practically nothing. Stuff like the guys fashion sense, choice of venue, what he talked about or didn't talk about, politics, "He told us different things about X" (nevermind opinions change and people tell white lies to get along), and private matters shared with ONE other person. Guys aren't trying to broadcast their life on a billboard just to get laid, OK?

>There wouldn't be any need for or interest in such groups if there wasn't such a problem overall. Keep in mind that this is the sex responsible for over 95% of violence, sexual assault and rape. Is it any wonder women are being cautious while seeking out a partner?

Being cautious is one thing. Spreading vicious rumors and making fun of people secretly with much of the dating population is another. Any real safety problem can get a user banned from an app, and the police might be interested if there's anything more than a hunch to justify the claim.

I think my really long comment in response to someone else in this thread explains the expectation of privacy very well. Women expect privacy, often to the point of not giving out real names or phone numbers. Guys have many of the same actual issues with that. A psycho woman can set your car on fire, kill your dog, get you robbed by her drug dealer, etc.

It would be interesting to see where people draw the line. Do you think it's cool to record the date and upload it to the group? Because that is technically legal in some places, and it is toxic behavior. Now what if you transcribe it and post that instead? What they do in spreading rumors is not far from either of those things.
Am I weird for almost immediately spotting the missing bean as soon as the image showed up? It certainly would've taken me longer to adjust my eyes for the cross-eyed trick.

Even the impossible one was harder when trying to use the cross-eyed trick than just visually comparing the two by quickly moving my eyes back and forth.
Oversize SUV's and farm vehicles are not the same thing at all.

Farmers with penis extension trucks, ute's, oversized bull bars, vanity spotlights et al are a thing .. but those vehicles are not essential for farm work .. they're there for the circle work.

We have farm vehicles, actual three trailer semi prime movers for road trains, modified nine tonne trucks, two storey high combines, chaser trucks for binning grain, ex military trucks for off road fire protection, etc.

These are not the road trucks the GP comments are rightfully complaining about.

I found two differences in the last picture. Turns out the second was dust on my monitor. XD
I remember watching some event around CHAD time, where white social justice warriors on stage where making lots of social justice outrage statements, on behalf of Native Americans, in front on this native America elder. Only to have him take the microphone after them, and he was having none of it, he went up to the mic and completely denigrated them. Then it dawned on me, that these white people where literally ruining his cause by trying to take it over. And there's long history of white people doing this, where they subvert and neuter a movement and insert themselves as leaders, but only temper the cause. The end result is a kind of moderation, where no effective change happens because of it.
I guess I read a similar sentiment once, where Anarchists where claiming that it was them that changed course of human history, repeatedly, by throwing the wrench in the wheels of society, to cause the change. From that point of view, it would get annoying if there was someone taking the wrench out before the fall.
I think the latency of satellite is very much tolerable as it is for most stuff.

The use cases where it starts to be a problem is usually when humans are interacting with each other or humans/machines with financial markets. Maybe other things I'm not thinking of.

I don't think servers in orbit can solve this problem?
Intended purpose? I suspect it's purpose has been served as intended all along.

The "top talent" was the ruse to justify the program.

If it "accidentally" stopped serving that top talent purpose it was obvious years ago. Then , whoops! I guess we'll just have to keep letting in non-top talent...?!

It was a camels nose attack on IT sector workers salaries and the vitriol of anti-racism was used to defend it, along with other similar efforts to destroy American wages.

Oddly, in the 1970s, the Democrats would have spoken out against it, back when they cared about American jobs. Not any more.

Thanks to “derefr” and others for these insights. I used this thread as a prompt to Claude 3.5 Sonnet:

My prompt:

Fluid self-control of attention should be enough to bootstrap to metacognitive exploration. Is one the horse; the other the cart? Seems true of the evolution of human cognition from language and theory of minds-of-others that then makes us more attentive to our one minds as objects of internal meta-dissection. What do you think?

Claude comments:

An evolutionary perspective on the relation between attention control and metacognition is worth “attention”.

The idea that fluid attention control might be the "horse" that pulls the "cart" of metacognition aligns well with what we know about human cognitive development.

Consider:

1. The evolution of theory of mind: Humans (primates snd perhaps other taxa) first developed the ability to model and attend to others' mental states (likely driven by social survival pressures). This gave humans a "template" for mental state modeling that could then be turned inward.

2. Language evolution may have followed a similar pattern - external communication tools becoming internalized for self-reflection. Vygotsky's work on inner speech and cognitive development supports this outside-in pattern.

3. This uggests that the ability to fluidly direct attention (including to others' minds) may have been the crucial evolutionary stepping stone that enabled the later development of systematic metacognition.

This has implications for AI development. Current systems like myself have rigid attention mechanisms and no true ability to recursively examine our own cognitive processes. Following your logic, perhaps the key to developing true AI metacognition isn't to directly implement it, but to first develop more fluid, self-directed attention mechanisms that could bootstrap the development of deeper metacognitive capabilities.

Do you think this suggests that current AI development might be approaching things backwards by trying to implement sophisticated reasoning capabilities before we've developed truly fluid attention control? It seems like we might need to master the "horse" (flexible attention) before we can effectively develop the "cart" (sophisticated metacognition).
The groceries and convenience stores and so on will naturally appear once density increases if they are allowed to. It's a non issue.

I'm sympathetic to your plight seeing the character of your neighborhood change if public housing is built, but society has to balance it against the plight of people who are forced to change their neighborhood due to poverty, and on the balance their plight is simply worse than yours.

Unlike them, in such a scenario, you get to sell your land whose value now increased and go somewhere else with similar attribute.

Any society that cannot make this obvious decision to inconvenience some to save others is doomed to failure.
You can't really measure any of them in an indisputable and quantitative way, can you? That's kind of the point!

But we all know that there are innumerable stories of families and cultures that have suffered, struggled, been exploited, been abused, and been excluded for generations or centuries in ways that they still are deeply disadvantaged for today.

Who might see more impact from more opportunity though:

* the poverty-raised first-generation-collegiate grandchild of a Russian refugee whose family history is just hundreds of years of serfdom followed immediately by Soviet oppression

* the Stanford alum son of a middle class Chinese immigrant who came here to run a thriving import/export business

They both face structured disadvantages compared to some other people, but skin color doesn't do a good job of telling you where a helping hand might contribute to the more equitable future or which will add more diversity of perspective/culture to a workplace.

Programs like DEI often assume all PoC as similarly disadvantaged, and then contrast them against an archetype of an uncommonly successful and priveleged imaginary WASP. But the reality of history and equity involves far more dimensions and many more fine distinctions.
I think a better expression would be "to regulate fermentation." Kimchi lasts quite a bit longer when stored in kimchi fridge, because (I assume) fermentation almost stops, due to consistently low temperature. But obviously you don't want it to freeze (frozen kimchi tastes absolutely terrible), so the fridge must stay just above the freezing temperature, for it to work well.

And in my experience, every kimchi eventually goes sour in regular fridge (or even in a special kimchi fridge, if you keep it long enough), so I don't think fermentation completely stops at those temperatures.
How do you do this focusing beyond the screen!?

I'm trying so hard to make this happen. Stare really far in the distance and then move the image in front of my face on my phone. No matter the distance between my face and my phone i can't overlap the images.

Focus in front of the screen is the easy one. How do you get beyond....
Are you wondering whether some humans are better than others?! Eh, I don't have the research to know that's not the case, but this seems like an extraordinary hypothesis
Pretty sure water was just a teleporter? You may be thinking about the mirror effect?

That's what they just said? They didn't mention the mirror effect? The mirror effect was done with duplicate geometry? It occupied the overlapping space of what was behind it? The build engine also didn't have vertical levels.
That sounds great, especially as I love that little fried kimchi rice chaser at the end of a table-fried bbq/meal. It's that little extra course of comfort.
>sounds unreasonable. If Europe can forget about Germany messing with everyone some 80 years ago, then so can the US forget about slavery.

Germany probably shouldn’t forget the genocide of millions of people from a variety of groups, just as the united states should not forget the systematic enslavement and repression of millions of people, who are also americans and their descendants are alive and numerous today. It doesn’t really make sense to me why people should forget that, and it cannot be forgotten by the people still living with the consequences of it today - but I’m not really willing to be baited into this type of discussion on a platform like this, so I’ll just say your fundamental premises in your post sound flawed if not extremely troubling in what you seem to be implying. It sounds completely unreasonable to say for instance, indigenous groups should forget they were pretty much wiped out by largely white colonizers. This isn’t a political statement, it’s just a matter of fact.
I thought the same thing! I had the incredible privilege to chat with Richard and even play some Cuttle with him on the site and the way he explained it was that there must have been shared influences between himself and whoever created Cuttle

I saw the world premiere in Edinburgh, Scotland when I was 18. Audience really had no idea what we were getting into. I had met a girl at a summer art program in France and she invited me to the festival so I got a eurorail pass and headed up there.

The premiere was so cool. They served Red Bull and vodka with these little commemorative battle royal cans. Some people got plastic umbrellas like the one in the movie.

At the time I feel like it was the most mind-blowing movie experience I'd ever had. Nobody was expecting what was coming, and there's something extra special about experiencing that together with a theatre full of people.

I agree with your level of anger but I offer a simple and probably politically achievable alternative: the drone pilots are liable for arson for any damage from the point of firefighting onwards. CA seems to do an OK job putting away arsonists for lengthly periods of time.
I added a warning for it in my C compiler back in the mid 1980s.

Fun story. A friend of mine (Eric Engstrom!) bought himself a backhoe. I'd never driven one before and he offered to let me drive it. Sure!

The clutch pedal works backwards from that in a car. Press on the clutch to engage it, release the pedal to disengage it. After some struggling with my reflexes being all wrong, I came within a couple feet of taking out the side of his barn - by switching off the key.

There was nothing wrong with that user interface, other than being insane.
I've worked directly (that is, either on the same team or with an immediately neighboring team) with two black engineers.

My company historically has had leveling issues and, sadly, they were definitely not meeting expectations for their level, or maybe even for the one below their level.

One was nudged out to another team. One currently on my direct team is being nudged out. One or two people want him to be fired (very curmudgeonly engineers who had worked with him), but me and the manager would rather find him new work within the company suited to his background in data science rather than software engineering. He's been dragging his feet; it's getting more and more difficult.

The company has a strong and vocal DEIB/social justice culture within certain parts of the company (though I suspect much less so among executives). It sometimes comes into play pretty directly in hiring. I've been in panels where someone calls out that the candidate is part of a disadvantaged population who've historically been under-leveled, though I haven't been in a panel where that made a difference in hiring or leveling.

The standard line is that the company doesn't compromise its hiring standards for diversity. I clearly have my doubts about whether that ends up happening in practice.
In Japan no one tips, customer service is fantastic, and prices are low if you want low priced goods.

In San Francisco tipping is expected for any or even no service, customer service is horrific, prices are high everywhere.

I say stop tipping.
Indeed, you need to tip for the privilege of self service.
Duckduckgo has a selector for country on the search results page, is this different somehow?
My odd claim to fame which is hard to garner praise for is that when I was a kid I always followed a certain pattern when I did something on a left or right foot. I always tried to even it out. So if I pinched my left toes, then I would do my right. But then I would undo that by going right then left. And then I would undo that by undoing the entire thing: right left left right. And the pattern went on:

LRRLRLLRRLLRLRRL…

and so on. It seemed easy enough to remember because you would just undo what you did last.

A few decades later and I learn that’s the Thue Morse word (1) which has many interesting properties like being overlap free. Unfortunately it didn’t give me any kind of advantage when studying combinatorics on words. Just a weird “wait… where have I seen this before?” moment.

For me, as much as it pains me to admit this, the sales and account relationship process is just as important of a factor now. I'm at a level where I'm not the end user of most of the infrastructure I purchase for the business, but I'm the one that has to deal with most of the vendor interaction.

Datadog is a pain in the ass. I've got two emails and a voicemail from them just this week. We are not an active customer.

Heroku/Salesforce is also a pain in the ass. It causes enough friction with legal that I'll spend whatever effort it takes to replatform our workload just to not have to have those unending inbound calls.

NS1 was easy-peasy, but post-IBM I now receive a PDF invoice for $50 once per month with no credit card-based billing options and have to remind finance to cut a paper check. I'll be rehoming our DNS as soon as we decide on where to move it to.

tl;dr: the business experience is part of the product

As a mid-level manager in a prominent tech company, my VP (not current) explicitly asked me if there were any women or minorities for whom we could accelerate promotion. Not that were ready, but may be ready soon and we'll take the benefit of the doubt. I know that lots of women, minorities, and LGBTQ employees benefitted from that, but white male employees learned there wasn't budget for them.

Bad Apple but it's 6,500 regexes that I search for in Vim
I had a chance to see Amazon Hr's organizational dashboard which listed, among other things, the racial breakdown for each VP in the company. BLACK_NA (which I figured means american-born black employees?) in engineering organizations were generally at about 1%. I knew of one black American engineer in my org of about ~150.

There was one notable exception: an org based in Virginia with something like 10% or 15%. I figured it was due to black former military and defense workers who had to be on-site in Virginia to work on a specific GovCloud project, part of the JEDI contract effort. I knew of one black engineer who worked on that compared to about ~5 others I knew who worked on that.

You're right, in the case of FAT16/FAT32 it AFAIK has to use the current system locale, since unlike EXFAT or NTFS there isn't a place in the filesystem to store that locale table.
I'm in Germany and I'm also puzzled by how Americans view race. To me, black, white, etc. are just phenotypes, no more important than e.g. being blonde (of course, I realise that some people discriminate based on skin colour). The idea that these skin-colour labels constitute separate "identities" is a bit weird to me.

And yes, of course many African-Americans have certain cultural traits, some heritage etc. that sets them apart, but I would describe that as "African-American" and not "black" because I don't think that a Nigerian or a Sri Lankan would share those traits.

When Donald Trump insisted that Kamala Harris wasn't really black that just made no sense to me.
Great questions. The kids mostly speak English as first language, and the schools are in English. With the exception of one huge twist, the schools have many educational difficulties you'll find in rural America generally—it's hard to get money for materials and curriculum, hard to recruit good teachers, hard to get students connected to people with practical advice/guidance, hard to get connected to opportunities, hard to reach escape velocity, and so on.

So, what's the twist? Tribal schools tend to be administrated by the federal government which makes problems extremely slow and hard to address. With some asterisks, the local elementary school was basically provisioned as a consequence of a federal treaty with the US Senate, and is/was mostly administered by a the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), which rolls up into a federal department that until 2020ish, had never been run by a native person. All of these things make it very tricky to work with.

In spite of that, believe it or not, this is a massive improvement: until relatively recently, the school was a mandatory boarding trade school meant to teach kids to be (basically) English-only maids. This lead to a substantial percentage of the population being either illiterate or semi-literate, with no meaningful work experience, and with very very few opportunities that were not menial work. That inertia is extremely challenging to overcome, and the most natural place to try is the education system, which generally is simply not up to it.

I am stating these as a neutral facts on purpose. Regardless of how we got here, the hand is ours to play. Some of us got out and whether we succeed in the next generation depends on whether we can mobilize the community to productively take advantage of the resources we do have. This is why it's painful to me to hear about, e.g., land acknowledgements. If you have seen this pain firsthand I just do not see how that can be the #1 policy objective.
