There's a lot of technical stuff, but you could look into Ioanides articles [1], and the book Bernoulli's Falacy by Clayton [2] is a good introduction, also for people less involved in statistics.

I don't think it's fair to call anti-Black bias in the legal system a false belief/conspiracy. Given a Black suspect and a white suspect, do you believe investigators/prosecutors:

A. Have a uniform prior between the two suspects; or

B. Have a prior weighted to some degree towards the Black suspect being the perpetrator, up to or equal to the ratio of offending rates between the two races?

Your evidence is consistent with case B, but many would consider that to be (and experience it as) bias. It means that if you're a Black person, you're more likely to be falsely accused of a crime, more likely to be subject to searches, and receive harsher sentences for the same crime[0]; you're seen as more likely to be a criminal for factors outside of your control.

Alternatively, you could consider if a college specifically discriminated against students from low-income backgrounds. You could say it's "logical" for the college to use that metric because low-income students on average do worse academically. Maybe the extent of their discrimination is even slightly closer to uniform than it would be if basing it solely on the relevant background rates. But the result of this discrimination to any extent would be that, if you're a low-income student, you would now have to score higher in tests/etc. than other students in order to overcome the prejudice against your background.

In both cases it's also largely self-reinforcing, with the discrimination contributing to the factors it's based on. There's then the argument that we should not just aim for case A (uniform prior, "race blind") but have "positive discrimination", meaning that, for instance, low-income students could be chosen in admissions even if scoring lower than students from higher-income backgrounds, as an attempt to actively correct those factors.

The paper is 12 years old. If there haven't been other methods to evaluate modern commercial tech, then it's an actual proof of tech evolving slowly due to radiation concerns. Even the process pointed out in the paper requires resources, but it just got a bit faster in the last years.

Apart from that, adding new components is also costly. You just don't order a random megapixel camera from alibaba and slam it on your 1bn space project.

Considering I made clear that i am no expert and my claims were under that context your response was simply arrogant and not helpful.

Conditional normalizing flows are one of the most beautiful solutions to inverse design problems that I’ve come across, if you have the data to train them. Something about the notion of carefully deforming a base distribution by pushing and pulling its probability mass around until it’s in the right location by using bijective functions (which themselves have very clever constructions) is just so elegant…

I’ve had some trickiness trying to get them to work when some of the targets are continuous and some categorical, but regardless just a really cool method… really nailed it on the name imo!

> * See, for example, the vast gulf between public opinion on issues like Israel, public healthcare, free education and housing for all, vs the opinion of the political and media class.

While i agree with you generally (blaming domestic problems on unpopular minorities or foreign enemies is a playbook as old as time), im not sure i agree that those issues are based on class division. Large swathes of America seem to be genuinely opposed to public healthcare. As a non american it boggles my mind, but it seems pretty clear that a significant portion dont want that for whatever reason (i would say that similarly those other issues don't follow class divides all that much either)

I think it would be an open question as to which side ends up owning most of the military. Bases are all over the US along with national guard. The people in the military are also a pretty diverse group. In a civil war situation I don’t think it would be an automatic siding with DC.
> Is it? Take JSON: its spec states that JSON numbers are theoretically infinite precision rationals, but implementations are free to impose their own restrictions.

Well like you say JSON gives you an out: "An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers"; CBOR doesn't. I'm not really making a claim about CBOR vs. JSON (or HTTP). My TL;DR on this is: the nice thing about MP is that it asks very little of implementations, and that gives them a lot of freedom. CBOR asks way more of implementations--which by itself isn't bad--but it reckons with the tradeoffs not at all. A good example is "indefinite-length encodings"; this paragraph is still in the spec:

---

Note that some applications and protocols will not want to use indefinite-length encoding. Using indefinite-length encoding allows an encoder to not need to marshal all the data for counting, but it requires a decoder to allocate increasing amounts of memory while waiting for the end of the item. This might be fine for some applications but not others.

---

You might think, "well that's not so bad, maybe I don't have to implement this, after all it is in the seemingly optional 'Creating CBOR-Based Protocols' section", but unfortunately it's a core part of CBOR [1].

Confusingly, CBOR seems to care about this kind of thing: "The design does not allow nesting indefinite-length strings as chunks into indefinite-length strings. If it were allowed, it would require decoder implementations to keep a stack, or at least a count, of nesting levels." [2]. But what's the difference between having to keep a stack of nesting levels and having to allocate as much as your network peer tells you to?

The fact is you can't reasonably implement streaming in a data representation format. It's protocol-level functionality, which is why HTTP/1.1's description of it is way more useful. Including it is pretty indicative of the whole "let's just throw some features into the spec and see what happens" attitude.

It's a dangerous option: Rust already has long compile times, expanding the space it has to analyze would only increase that. Not to mention you'd be much more dependent on the implementation details of a given function, and it'd become very messy. The fact that lifetimes have a specifiable interface is probably one of the main things that makes Rust's approach work at all.

Rust has similar rules about type inference (of which lifetimes are a subset) at the function level as well. I think this was a lesson learned the hard way by Haskell, which does allow whole-program type inference, and how programmers working in it quickly learned you really want to specify the types at the function level anyway

I realise that it's not what you want to hear, but it already exists in multiple ways:

- Use your own domain

- Tell GMail to forward all your emails somewhere else

- You can even allow e.g. Yahoo to send emails on behalf of e.g. your GMail address

It seems to me that your frustration comes from one single problem you have, that you mentioned in a comment:

> I still haven't managed to move everything away from my old gmail because sometimes it's impossible without recreating some accounts from scratch.

The emails sent by those accounts to your GMail address can be automatically forwarded to your personal domain, so this is not a problem. Therefore I am guessing that your frustration is that you still have to use your @gmail.com as a username on those websites.

And this is not an email problem at all: it's just those websites preventing you from changing your id (/username).

At the end of the day, the perfect solution to this problem is to have your own domain. Those of us who "screwed up" by not doing it 20 years ago have to deal with it (which is honestly not a very big deal), and we should teach the new generations that they should really have their own domain :-).
Awesome! How does it compare to RUM, another PostgreSQL extension solving a similar problem (make ranking fast by putting enough info in the index)?

Curiously, what people commonly refer to as 'Waterfront OBJ' is merely a tiny subset of that format. I.e. the part dealing with polygons.

The format supports e.g. higher order curves and surfaces and apps like Maya or Rhino3D can read and write OBj files containing such data. [1]

Writing a parser for the polygon subset also comes with some caveats.

If your target is a GPU you probably need to care for robust triangulation of n-gons and making per-face-per-vertex data per-vertex on disconnected triangles.

Vice versa, if you are feeding data to an offline renderer you want to absolutely preserves such information.

I believe the tobj Rust crate is one of the few OBJ importers that handles all edge cases. [2] If you think it doesn't, let me know and I will fix that.

This is surprising for people familiar with one but not the other of the requirements of offline- or GPU rendering.

I.e. if you write an OBJ reader this can become a challenge; see e.g. an issue I opened here [3].

FWIW, Fred Brooks has a quote that is similar in spirit to the one you mentioned. It's in Chapter 1, The Tar Pit (under the title The Joys of the Craft):

> Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by the exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures…
Accelerationism is learned helplessness.
Saying "non-uniform distribution" doesn't actually purvey any insight or mathematical "truth" and reveals almost nothing about the actual distribution - other than stating that it's non-uniform (well, duh!).

What you are doing - in essence - is making it sound like gigantic economic inequalities and wealth concentrations in hands of few families are some underlying, unavoidable fact of universe.

While in reality they are - largely - a result of unlimited, largely untaxed generational wealth transfer. And outcomes of other similar policies.

>My point was that pointing out "Top x% own Top x+y% of good z" doesn't say anything meaningful

No, it does. It shows just how grossly wealth is increasingly captured by a small amount of people.
Depending on what those x, y and z, you can gauge the actual shape of the "non-uniform distribution" and how it changes over time. Which is exactly the point.

I am hijacking this slightly to talk about something only partially related. I am very sleep deprived right now and probably won't do the idea justice, but it's bounced around my head for a while now.

It's that I find programming a fundamentally visual medium, even as text. It's an urge whenever I write a function, not simply to be "neat" and visually consistent but for the program text to embody a rhythm that provides a subtext.

Functions with lots of short branches have a bubbly fine grained texture. I see them performing lots of detailed operations and I know it's IO bound code. It's one reason Golang programs feel good to me when applied to this domain.

I see rigidity aligned segments and I sense this is programming as configuration. I know I'm supposed to... elide over the operational details as a reader and it's maybe even functional. I like authoring those sorts of functions in Haskell, I can line up my let / wheres and case matches to visually communicate "I am doing rules based programming here".

I wonder if other programmers interact with programs visually. It's one reason I kind of... dislike other contributions to my programs because they don't usually follow my visual subtext. I tolerate it, obviously but it makes me wonder how much of code readability really is common sense and what aspects are highly unique
> I think we have a pretty good idea that we are not stochastic parrots - sophisticated or not. Anyone suggesting that we’re running billion parameter models

On the contrary, we have 86B neurons in the brain, the weighting of the connections is the important thing, but we are definitely 'running' a model with many billions of parameters to produce our output.

The theory by which the brain mainly works by predicting the next state is called predictive coding theory, and I would say that I find it pretty plausible. At the very least, we are a long way from knowing for certain that we don't work in this way.
In a non-clown world they would do it because otherwise the anti-trust agencies would break them up. Of course in the corporate utopia we live in they don't get to experience these (dis)incentives.

For a network protocol or C FFI you probably want a primitive integer type not any of Rust's fancier types such as enum, because while you might believe this byte should have one of six values, 0x01 through 0x06 maybe somebody decided the top bit is a flag now, so 0x83 is "the same" as 0x03 but with a flag set.

Trying to unsafely transmute things from arbitrary blobs of data to a Rust type is likely to end in tears, this attribute does not fix that.
Yep, if the work itself is what drives you rather than the organisation and people, and you’re able to achieve that solo, then the question is just whether you prefer a commute and office experience. Personally, while I miss colleague interactions, I find offices and commutes truly depressing, so I would never choose that over remote all else equal.
The fixes are really really minor. Larger functional bugs that aren’t catastrophic are hanging out.

Might be controversial, but I don't. Because solarpunk is insistent on the notion of negative rights, the notion of how one lives their life remains the same as today, and no better than the hunter-gatherers of the past.

There will always be those who seek more, who admire those towers reaching into the sky, even as others admonish it as tyranny. And they are right, ambition will result in tyranny, in oppression and conflict, but even so, I would still believe in a future over an eternal present.

I don‘t get which implications you derive from the changing needs over one’s life.

In all of those phases, safety and health of yourself and beloved ones are likely at the top of your needs. Is there a contradiction to your ideals when you were young (unless you went all in on YOLO)?

edit: Maybe it’s about the inclination towards uprise/revolution which might result in oppression and danger for those you want to protect. In that case: I don’t see why some kind of apocalyptic revolution must be part of the cycle mentioned in the top post. Maybe I’m still naive, but I still have hopes that we will get to sustainable terms on this planet.

> The strong reason for this attack was Russia's security concerns got ignored and stepped on by a military alliance (NATO).

If it were a simple individual somehow escalating to nation state level, I could understand them being initially forced to use deception, but not so for an entity that is already a nation state. Especially not so for a nuclear nation state!

Right before the outbreak of the full scale war (ignoring ~2014), Western intelligence services observed troops, tanks, military materiel amassing on the Russian / Ukranian border. In an attempt to dissuade Russia from invading the UK intelligence services decided to predict Russia's invasion publicly.

Russia repeatedly claimed "Nyet, nyet, no invasion, just some push-ups next to border!"

If a nuclear power were acting on existential security concerns, the last thing it would do is hide the connection to security concerns and pretend just doing sonme push-ups on border.

To me this invalidates this whole theory of yours and imcritic
