“How bad” is a normative question. Absolute amounts of energy expended can’t tell you how to normatively value the result of that energy expenditure.

The paper is from 2019. I think the article title should be updated to reflect that, since this link is nothing but rehashing the original algorithm, despite minor embellished clai…

> “ If your heavyweight runtime is being launched 1000s of times to get a job done every day or multiple times a day, consider optimizing. Which may include changing the language. …

Docker / containers are necessary but not sufficient. For example, in a machine learning CI / CD system, there could be a fundamental difference between executing the same step, wi…

Many CI systems try to strictly enforce hermetic build semantics and disallow non-idempotent steps from being possible. For example, by associating build steps with an exact source…

Isn’t Drone also an example of the author’s ideal solution?

It is plain as day, already mentioned in my earlier comment that you didn’t read. If you envision an entire generalized class of people along the lines of “leftists make the mistak…

I do agree with the consistency thing. One bad culture failure mode is a case where one or two senior executives run amok enforcing their view of culture, while the CEO fails to en…

It’s really sad that you are blind to your own severe discrimination. If you think in sweeping generalizations like, “leftists make the mistake...” you really need to step back and…

That you feel you are identifying solutions, or even a definition, not understood or pursued by people creating things like microinequity training, just reveals your ignorance. I t…

What terrifies me are the people shooting and killing asians, cops shooting and killing black people, white evangelicals choosing to believe in QAnon over vaccine science... Maybe …

Posts that masquerade as “legitimate dissenting opinions just not getting a fair shake from the left by golly” but which really seek to undermine structures by which systemic racis…

Thankfully this getting flagged is still routine. Can you imagine how sickening a place this would be if this kind of post didn’t get flagged? It’s horrific, yet parading around as…

woof, more like white hot garbage

Robust potential functions are a huge part of ML. Many people have researched robust potential functions for use as loss functions. Its use in ML algorithms predates use for SLAM, …

I don’t see any reason your comment would be accurate. It all depends on trade-offs. If the goal is to reduce cost, then you could equally argue to get rid of medicare entirely. Cl…

There would almost surely be a censoring effect no matter what age cutoff you pick, and even allowing for typical government incompetence, surely at some level health econometricia…

Companies don’t pay financial rewards for doing the data plumbing work, yet it’s often much harder, prone to unusual failure domains mixed with high scaling, and carries more strin…

There are so many issues besides just saving for a downpayment. How will you keep a job that supports the mortgage? Companies are exceedingly disloyal and looking to cut labor cost…
