The problem is that "let's not apply the correction" is also just another justification for discrimination.

Let's approach the problem theoretically. Let's imagine a distant planet where, by construction of our thought experiment, there are 2 groups, A and B, and when evaluated for a job position, people of group A are scored as "their real score plus a random value sampled from a gaussian centered on 1" and people of group B are scored as "their real score minus a random value sampled from a gaussian centered on 1".

In this world, without correction, just using the evaluated score, there is discrimination: for the same merit (or sometimes even when they merit it more), people of group B will usually not be chosen when competing with a person of group A.

In this world, the corrected evaluation score is not biased anymore, even despite the fact that the correction is based on which group they belong to.

Now, we can come back to our reality. You are saying that these biases don't exist, or are smaller than what I think. Great. I'm saying that these biases exist or are bigger than what you think. Your position is not better than mine.

As for the "overstep your bounds", what you are basically saying is that "if you think there is something unfair, it does not count, I'm the only one allowed to decide what is fair or unfair". I'm pretty sure that it exists things that you find unfair and that you don't accept when you are the victim of the unfair situation. And I'm pretty sure that you can, for each case, find individuals that will argue that they don't find it unfair. In this case, be honest, will you really say "I think you are treating me unfairly, but if you think it's not the case, I cannot demand you to change anything or force anything to get retribution, because it will be overstepping my bounds"?
It's available on their API service, so I'd assume it's not one of the private models others pay them to create, otherwise it would be fully private to the customer. Or, the customer wants it to be released/open, then the customer would release it, not Mistral. But I might misunderstand how they operate, happy to correct what I understand.

Edit: Actually, it is outlined in the bottom of the post:

> we have also begun to train models for strategic customers with the power of their deep and proprietary enterprise context. These models stay exclusive and private to the respective customers. If you would like to explore custom training with Mistral AI, explore our applied AI offerings, or please contact us.

So this is not one of those, as then it would be exclusive and private to the customer. This (Saba) is one of the models that I understood they would have released as at least "open-weights", if following their initial goals according to the early blog posts.
> Through some digging, I found that when a desktop enters S3 sleep, the system cuts power to PCIe GPUs

I am not sure how correct this assumption is. S3 is supposed to cut power to everything but RAM, but for example Gigabyte Aorus motherboards are notorious for an NVMe SSD sleep bug that randomly prevents the system from properly sleeping or waking.

This is fixed by adding the following udev rule:

# Generic PCIe fix for sleep bugs by preventing wakeup from any PCIe port
ACTION=="offline", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", DRIVER=="pcieport", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"

or more targeted:

# Gigabyte sleep fix by preventing wakeup from problematic PCIe port, depends on motherboard model
ACTION=="offline", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x8086", ATTR{device}=="0x43bc", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"

You can find any glitched PCIe wakeup device with:

1. cat /proc/acpi/wakeup (you'll have to trial and error your way through the wakeup devices if it isn't immediately clear)
2. cat /sys/class/pci_bus/*/*/yourWakeupDevicePci/uevent | grep PCI_ID
3. prepend "0x"

You also have the option of:

udevadm info --attribute-walk /dev/whatever

but for that you need to know some basic identifier of your glitchy device.

Or if you want to shellscript it (less reliable than letting udev do it for you and needs to be done via systemd service file or another automation):

# Gigabyte sleep fix, port depends on mobo model
/bin/bash -c 'if grep 'RP05' /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep -q 'enabled'; then echo 'RP05' > /proc/acpi/wakeup; fi'";

Yes I really hate this (and other) Linux sleep issues.

> If you don't have access, it is not a meritocracy.

I think you’re running into resistance because of this stance.

You’re talking about an optimized meritocracy or a meritocracy at one level of abstraction in which raw talent is able to be manifested due to optimal (or at least good enough) access. This sort of definition might fly in certain academic circles, but it doesn’t fly outside of those circles.

For most folks, “meritocracy”, by which people are selected based on ability, refers to actualized talent rather than theoretical talent. In your case of Dominican ice hockey players, I think most people think that their absence from the NHL does not compromise whatever meritocracy the NHL is (it has other issues), rather it’s merely that most/all Dominican ice hockey talent hasn’t been actualized to a point that it can be professionally competitive.

Bringing this back to DEI, improving access doesn’t really “enable meritocracy”, rather it just makes a meritocracy utilize its available resources more efficiently.

Also, a side note about the failings of DEI discussions outside of academic circles…

Individuals (e.g., NHL team owners) have a great deal of agency in ensuring that the players on their team are more or less chosen by meritocratic standards. These same individuals have much less agency in actualizing ice hockey talent in every place in the world (massive undertaking). As such, they may bristle when their system is accused of being non-meritocratic or non-inclusive because of societal issues that they don’t really have any or much agency to change.

Don’t get me wrong… discussions of underutilized talent are absolutely fascinating. The US in particular is absolutely flooded with underutilized talent, and there have been times in my life when I’ve been able to move the needle in certain organizations about how they tapped into that underutilized talent.

That said, labeling people or orgs as “racist” or “non-meritocratic” just doesn’t fly when the issue is structural rather than something that they actually have direct control of.
Hands, or tentacles, or a really long snout. There appear to be a variety of appendages that can be rather good at manipulating the environment for the users purpose.

We don’t really look at publishing metrics here to define what makes a good university; that is mostly determined here by the difficulty and completeness of the programs.

The University of Buenos Aires and a few other national public universities are considered by all to be the most prestigious, along with the private universities of Instituto Di Tella and the ITBA. Lesser national universities rank second along with specific degrees from some private unis. Then you have several tiers of private universities.

The UB looks good externally because it’s the school for rich kids who don’t have the chops for public uni, as such it invests its money in nice facilities and exchange programs, while its research shines by its absence and it’s really not harder than high school even for STEM degrees, due to its ridiculously low bar.

No it is not necesarily learned. Even among species on earth a lot of behaviors are not learned but inherent. In other words, selection acts on a spectrum of behaviors and those with some fitness advantage you are likely to see more frequently in the next generation of offspring, extending until lineages of that offspring with that behavior are potentially all there is.

A dark forest planet need not learn to be a dark forest planet in the same way an earth colored beetle need not learn to perfectly mask itself against the dirt from a bird; the fitter mutation given the context of the environment won out.
> It would still require congressional approval after 60 days

"After 60 days" is very different from "first".

And, since the President can unilaterally extend the timeline by 30 days, its actually 90 days, even if the War Powers Act is valid (an unresolved Constitutional question.)

And, in practice, it doesn't even require that if you don't have active majorities in Congress opposing the action; see the NATO-Yugoslavia war and the failure of legal challenges by members of Congress against it predicated on the War Powers Act limitations, because of lack of standing.
> If they are going after someone, tautologically, that someone is not an ally.

No one in their right mind would describe Canada or Denmark as anything other than staunch allies of the US. Trump's stunts forced the whole collective West to do a full 180 in their relations with the US.

I think a really important benefit is going to be binary size. That's what initially made me dislike Rust quite a lot.

And for CLI tools, you need those to be tiny. You're going to many of them, and you'll want to build a whole distribution, which you'll want to be small (for small images, small containers, etc).

Another benefit (that Zig won't offer) is good shared library support, which distribution maintainers will always prefer. I don't think there's a good language for that, but if one will appear, it will definitely be favored.
For more theoretical and pure CS stuff, yes they do since some point between ~2012-5 when SO got overrun by web developers and people grinding coding challenges. And of course the mushrooming number of specialist SE network sites [https://stackexchange.com/sites] like PLD, Theoretical CS, CodeReview, Computational Science, DBA, SWE, CrossValidated etc. + SO in several non-English languages [https://stackoverflow.com/help/non-english-questions].

Even the standards of behavior between different tags on SO itself vary greatly (in terms of how well-written a question is, whether it has an MCVE, whether the OP check it wasn't a dupe and searched existing Q&A, etc.).

If you want to chronicle the descent, look at Meta posts about "give me teh codez"-type questions [https://meta.stackoverflow.com/search?q=%22give+me+teh+codez...].

>Do you seriously think we can win the inevitable war with China?

I believe showing Russia, China, and the world, that USA stands behinds it commitments and allies, defends the rule based world order and is true leader of the democratic society would deter leaders such as Putin and Xi from trying anything.

NATO is (imo) close to collapsing. All it would take is a minor just-under-war incursion, e.g. in northern Finland by Russia. Would USA (Trump) defend Finland in this scenario? If not, NATO is dead and the next 100 years belong to China and Russia.
if you think prison privatization is the problem... you should see state run prisons. while studies show that private prisons are "statistically" worse (lots of problems with the statistics, e.g. commingling criminal incarceration contracts with migrant incarceration contracts), the difference is marginal, at best.
It's not limited to shiny new frameworks. Following naming conventions, design choices, etc, can take work, especially if you see something that isn't "best practice". Heck, sometimes you need to refactor something and the best thing you can do is reimplement any bugs you found (obviously with documentation and discussion to try to surface the why)
The problem is that Word2Vec and Glove never really worked from an engineering perspective but there was widespread belief that they did.

From a scientific perspective there are biases in the way that people do science that let an "emperor has no clothes" situation go on too long.

For instance, I never saw the negative result that "you can't build a classifier for words" based on word vectors published, because people don't publish negative results. They assume they were doing something wrong, there were just too many blog posts (not papers) were people were repeating the lucky result that king - women + man = queen [1]. Anyone who looked at it systematically found it was a morass, got bogged down, and didn't publish anything. It's pretty common for fields to get stuck in a place like this and make no progress or phony progress [2]. Nobody published "a classifier for words" for Word2Vec because it doesn't work, even though it tantalizingly seems to work when N is very small because of the way high dimensional spaces work.

Blog posts like this one will perpetuate more people getting stuck in a morass and leave them confused, writing more blog posts that repeat the little bit that seems to make sense. Thus being able to use language and be part of a group is a curse and not a blessing because it makes you repeat other people's mistakes not learn from them.

[1] yes, they did learn to do things like this better than chance, but chance is pretty bad

I'm not the OP, but I'll say that I don't believe you, because you're telling me you have The Perfect Solution, without providing even a hint of what that solution is. If I was skeptical at first, I'm now certain you're selling smoke & mirrors until you provide any evidence at all you actually have an idea here.
Because tooling would route around it immediately. Among other reasons, you can't have interactive prompts for support gumming up your CI (and if they're not interactive, then they're trivial to ignore). NPM does something close to this, but it's much more opt-in for the user.

Which explains why the tech bros are currently trying to install what's effectively a monarchy in the US federal government. Companies are inherently non democratic, so it's kind of bad that they're trying to install the same thing federally.

> A lot of younger developers like to come into a new project and slap on the latest frameworks or coding practices that they've picked up recently, without acknowledging that breaking the standards of the project lead to higher mental load to maintain that code over the long term.

Using the latest framework improves their future job prospects. Whatever company they work for will lay them off in a split second and won't provide anywhere near the comp increases that a new job would. So why should they care about the long term of a project?

Companies have no loyalty to employees which means employees have no loyalty to companies.

Thanks for the response! I am not anti-solar, and the technology absolutely has it's niche. It's just not suitable for base-load power generation.

> However the emissions are negligible compared to the running emissions of fossil fuels

This is untrue but for the record, I'm referencing climate impact, not just emissions.

Solar has great emissions compared to FF in VERY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. Its obvious that solar only works intermittently, and only provides efficient power in places where we have lots of sun next to large demand (think population centers).

Most of the worlds solar panels are produced in China, where they burn coal for the bulk of their industrial energy. Burning coal to produce panels, and placing them in non-sunny regions creates extra emissions, not less...frequently not even breaking even on the carbon cost of the initial production/distribution during the lifespan of the panel.

> fossil fuels which you don't seem to actively dislike

Of course I don't actively dislike inanimate substance. This is what freaks me out about the cult-like support for solar. Without fossil fuels, we would lose access to food, shelter, medicine, infrastructure, etc. The way some people talk, I'm starting to think the renewable crowd believes it's "worth it."

> Assuming that the world's power usage does not dramatically shrink in the future, especially solar farms will have to be built on a massive scale

1. We could use other forms of power generation...solar is not the only game in town.

2. The materials required for solar production are finite. It's unsustainable to extract/process all the materials required for such a feat, barring some sort of physics breakthrough in hyperconductivity. We literally do not have the materials OR the technology.

> That seems exaggerated. I live a vegetarian diet and do not own a car, my home electricity is 100% local renewables and I am very mindful of the carbon impact of any products I buy.

That's all well and good, but once you start taking flights, using infrastructure , electronics, ML workloads, developing software, etc, you've already beaten most others today and historically.

How many african peasants worth of emissions do you think your lifestyle produces? How do you think the food you consume is produced and distributed? Why aren't you considering the emissions required to pour concrete and produce steel?
Though I agree that the damage will be limited I don't think it would be very concentrated on people paying attention.

I think all of this depends on the UI presentation, but when “shuffle” is used, I think a good starting point is “what would a person expect from a deck of cards”, since that’s where the metaphor started.

I don’t think that provides a totally clear answer to “what happens at the end”, but for me it’d lean me towards “a new shuffle”, because for me most of the time a shuffled deck of cards draws its last card, the deck will be shuffled again before drawing new cards.

That is if you assume the aliens will board a ship with conventional forces and enact a human style invasion.

Now what if the alien was not even sentient. A giant configuration of some structure of chemistry just floating through interstellar space, catalyzing reactions when inputs are met, lying in wait otherwise. It might not “die” in the sense that any other mass of atoms doesn’t “die.” When faced with some input it might swell up in size, divide and diffuse elsewhere. Akin more to a random chemical interaction among a few molecules in pure solvent than life as we know it.

Chemical structures like this could potentially be the wildfire patrolling the universe for fuel vs some spacefaring roman empire.

I made this for my own use (mostly solving and setting cryptic crosswords, and amusing my kids), and thought I'd share. I had some fun with JavaScript generators on the way.

Similar sites tend to lack the ability to sort result words from common to obscure, which means you have to sift through a lot of nonsense. But feel free to post links to good alternatives -- I'd be curious to hear about them.
In a simple benchmark, creating a thread & waiting on it in a loop (pthread_create+pthread_join) takes 0.03ms = 30000ns, so running a bunch of constructors of a bunch of libraries could actually be a non-insignificant amount of time.

Do agree that threadlocal read speed should be a lot more important, but it'd quite suck if the "acceptable performance" thread usage approaches would vary dramatically depending on what libraries you've (or something else) has unrelatedly loaded. (though maybe other overheads might appear from other sources similarly, keeping this not the most important slowdown, idk)
same here. I crap out really fast despite a healthy 22 BMI. Feet get sore, everything hurts, out of breath, pain everywhere. So much for running ability being universally evolutionary innate as some claimed by scientists. It's highly variable, not something everyone can do well.

Tons of evidence released already, even if you've only been casually following DOGE. And for some, no amount of evidence will ever be enough. Why is it so hard to believe an agency as big and inefficient as the US Govt. would have plenty of waste?
That sure sounds like (2), just restated.

It would still be incredibly dishonest for Musk to say based on these numbers that this is the largest fraud in history.

> In 2010, the Japanese government announced that 82 percent of its citizens reported to be over 100 had already died.

> In 2012, Greece announced that it had discovered that 72 percent of its centenarians claiming pensions – some 9,000 people – were already dead.

Those numbers are three to four orders of magitude smaller than the ones we're discussing. Even factoring in the US being 30 times larger than Greece, we would have less than half a million pensioners if the proportion is similar.

The fact is, Elon found a number and waved it around like a red flag. And both of us are smart enough[0] to know that it doesn't mean what he says it means. But for some reason, you're insisting on defending the original deceptive tweets.

[0] I mean that genuinely! I've read your posts on garbage collection. And in this discussion I take it you're recognizing that those millions of records are likely overwhelming not fraudulent.
