It reminds me of yan tan tethera [0], leading to such glorious encodings as 'Yan-a-bub' (eleven, County Durham), 'Tetherabum' (eighteen, Swaledale and Tong in Yorkshire) and 'Fotherydik' (fourteen, West Country Dorset.) Each variant only seems to go up to twenty, but that's enough for hex...
I think you're dropping off the 'new' list without any responses. Try:
* Look for the Who's Hiring threads (every 3 months)
* Two years is not long, so be prepared to accept a junior position. (I don't know what other experience you have.)
* Have you considered other countries like Germany or Estonia (where I live) which have lots of Ukrainian folk and great startups? I can personally recommend Estonia. I know SF is "the" scene, especially if aiming at riches, but there are difficulties immigrating into the US these days.
Not quite sure what you're asking with 'thoughts?' I had not seen a sensor like this before, are you asking if people think it's reliable, and useful for (eg) health monitoring?
There's a bit of a jump here from something appearing good to rapidly becoming very very bad. Here's what I read:
> 1Password has pledged $300,000 over three years in support of David Heinemeier Hansson's Linux distribution known as Omarchy, and is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom. What a nice brand partnership.
Supporting a Linux distribution sounds nice; I hadn't heard of that one.
But the very next paragraph:
> DHH has called for the ethnic cleansing of Europe; he is also an antivaxer, a Covid "truther," a proponent of the "lab leak" conspiracy theory, an 'anti woke' weirdo, and is virulently anti-DEI
> In an internal Slack message leaked to press today 1Password’s Roustem Karimov defended DHH as being attacked for his views...
Perhaps they could support a different Linux distribution.
It's also strongly concerning when someone defends someone with views like that, characterising them as being attacked. In general, toxic, racist, fascist views spread like viruses; when tolerated, through acceptance, they grow. A company needs to root them out. If we trust 1Password with our data, we are trusting a company with those views inside it with our data.
It's mostly extreme hyperbole and twisting of his views if anything.
One of his criticisms was the virulent attacks on anyone that questioned policy during covid. He for example prefered the Danish approach and they still ended up doing better than the UK or US.
I also can't help but see the folks clamoring for mass migration for the past 2 decades in europe against popular will as anything other than blind oikophobes. If you'd look at my capital and other places you'd question who is actually calling for ethnic cleansing.
I think caution re cultural integration, vs talking about shooting wolves and calling for deportations using a word regarded as a slur, are two different things. (Both these are within the same paragraph, adjacent sentences.)
Remember one of the tactics is to sound reasonable, while stretching what is acceptable speech. This lets those who approach with bad faith defend the statements while approving of what they imply or lead to.
>I think caution re cultural integration.... are two different things.
I was called similar for much milder views and past caution. I stood by in discussion further in the past when people got attacked in that way lest id be perceived badly and out of line with my ohter progressive views.
No caution was had. Now it's too late. You can't reasonably wish to undo most of it. (Denaturalising people who are abusing or comiting crime is not that) I honestly see my culture as a dead one down the line.
All so we could supress wages and pretend to hold up a pyramid scheme whilst doing some social signaling.
That doesn't mean i should forget, forgive myself and others and go along. I've developed a strong dislike for the social cooling that got us there in conflict with the opinions of the majority of the public. I no longer want to be overly nuanced and I am more than able to remember and throw back every past claim and defense regarding all this i read countless times a decade or 2 ago.
> vs talking about shooting wolves and calling for deportations using a word regarded as a slur
It's a stupid analogy. That said deportations within the law of foreign nationals that have no permission to be there is a historic normality the world over.
The slur i can see tho i also don't give it much weight because I think it's one squarely on the euphemism threadmil.
I used to argue your very point roughly a decade ago alongside an american against a polish friend who was very much opposed to them. Putting his grandma in the hospital over a bike, killing a mates dog along the whole cultural chasm with forced marriages and attitudes towards education and authority really didn't sit well which i could see. But i thought words have power and will worsen the situation and generalisation.
But in the end the word gypsies will be forced out of the vocab, zigeuner/cigany will go as well and then roma will be used with those conotations all whilst useful change is sidestepped.
I think Slavoj Žižek had a good bit on this.
>Remember one of the tactics is to sound reasonable, while stretching what is acceptable speech. This lets those who approach with bad faith defend the statements while approving of what they imply or lead to.
And the opposite has happened as well and has had far far more impact.
Curtailing what is acceptable speech to defend in bad faith and hide what it's all leading to.
> If we trust 1Password with our data, we are trusting a company with those views inside it with our data.
Is this really true? Your data is presumably encrypted at rest on their servers; you're not "trusting" them with it any more than you're trusting S3 when you send encrypted blobs to it. The political alignment of Jeff Bezos doesn't really come into it.
You're certainly supporting them with your money - that seems like the real objection here.
it doesn't mean it's true (we may never know), but framing as "conspiracy" was a product of conflict of interest where certain scientists were protecting grant money. Since then even some of the scientists who participated in it walked it back and openly said that both natural and lab leak theories were credible: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj0016
> DHH has called for the ethnic cleansing of Europe; he is also an antivaxer, a Covid "truther," a proponent of the "lab leak" conspiracy theory, an 'anti woke' weirdo, and is virulently anti-DEI
Leaving aside all the rest of this, I thought "lab leak" was considered a reasonable hypothesis, although not especially likely, these days, rather than some kind of fringe theory.
It's a result of political division in US. If you are on the left then you have to see lab leak as a racist rightie conspiracy theory or you will have issues fitting in. Also lab leak is rejected as a side effect from being confused with intentional leak/bioweapon theory, which is entirely radioactive.
Political right is the other way around.
It is not conclusively proven one way or the other, but most people just made their conclusion: left that it's the market, right that it's the lab (or bioweapon for especially out there).
It is both a racist rightie conspiracy theory and a plausible possibility worthy of serious consideration. Any reasonable person needs to recognize it as both simultaneously and will have no trouble fitting in among anyone outside the fringe at either end of the political spectrum.
I believe it was disproved, but regardless, there is a lot between accepting an hypothesis and possibly valid and building a conspiracy around it. I don't about this case, but this conspiracy typically degenerate in anti-science behaviours, perosonal attacks (on researchers or just chiense people) and similar nice things.
> “I thank each of the 27 members of SAGO for dedicating their time and expertise to this very important scientific undertaking over more than three years,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “As things stand, all hypotheses must remain on the table, including zoonotic spillover and lab leak.” [but] “the weight of available evidence…suggests zoonotic spillover”
Props to your parent commenter for including context size. Because 131k context window is prohibitively small for my coding workloads so I know a 512GB Mac won't cut it.
I do the same. I don’t plan to take it apart but wood glue is part of any woodworking shop and I don’t see why assembling Ikea should be qualitatively different. I want my assemblies to stay together, not vibrate, to feel sound. Gluing joints is fundamental.
> the same way as that one other scientist who argued…
As prescient? Because I don’t remember him arguing ‘alive’, but conscious. And that is something even AI engineers don’t claim to know either way. Skepticism is fine. [0] But we don’t know. It’s an area where opinion is frequently shared as fact.
We conflate harnesses with underlying capabilities. We all know it’s the harness not the model that guides behavior. What does that imply?
I love 'anomalies' in space because they trigger my scifi, space opera instincts. This one is more about planets being geologically messy, but it's still fascinating.
Also,
> On the surface, Mars is a geologically asymmetrical planet: Its southern hemisphere contains towering mountains and deep craters, whereas the northern hemisphere is composed of low flat lands.
Earth is quite asymmetrical too: there is more land above sea level in the northern than southern hemisphere, and viewing from space shows the Pacific Ocean covers an enormous, and disproportionate, area. Choosing sea level is arbitrary, since there are mountains and crevasses underwater... but it shows that planets are very much non-smooth, weird shapes.
