Sorry, some people shut down this discussion. Would have loved to continue. My mind's still open!

Actually, Africans immigrants doing well in the US would be evidence that there is structural racism. It could be said they're doing well because they bypassed it. Replying to those below: Yeah, being poor in America is rough, and it p

Black Americans are twice as likely as white Americans to be unemployed, and earn on average only 60 cents for every dollar earned by white Americans. Black Americans are also more likely to be incarcerated, and are subject to racial profil

Nah, I change my mind all of the time. Give me some evidence that structural racism is imaginary, and I'll try to change my mind.

Not analyze. Transform. I'm not talking about a query. But, tell me more. I always like a better way. Is it more efficient to read/write from SSD? Right now, I need everything in memory.

Spark is useful in that it’s pretty cheap and flexible. I can grind through 10 TB of data for like $50 and a few hours. If my experiments work, I can use it as a component in other projects. Plus, I can use (slightly non-standard) SQL right

Are IG accounts worth something on the black market? I don't doubt a few people would want the "Alex Stevenson-Price" alexprice. But, I'm guessing there are a lot more who want the "Other Famous Alex Prices" al

ChatGPT says that all it needs are separate components trained on every modality. It says it has enough fidelity using Human language to use that as a starting point to develop a more efficient connection between the components. Once it has

I've worked at companies that had inane policies with perverse incentives. And, it was pretty funny in a "A Confederacy of Dunces" sort of way. Compare that to other companies that practically gave out no-limit credit cards a

My dad always claims he taught himself to read at age 3, living on some old farm in the middle of nowhere. For whatever reason, I didn't start talking until I was 3, though.

I'm only a slightly above average programmer, but I'm probably 5x when it comes to finding better, faster, more efficient ways of doing things. I'm more of a gordian knot cutter than a programmer.

That didn't happen with Google. Yeah, they got rid of their "don't be evil" clause. But, they haven't used their position to inject bias that I've seen.

Someone will do it themselves, and then see the demand, release it publicly, and make a killing.

I think Musk’s move is just to get the most profitable people back on the platform. Fire them up. Get them clicking ads for gold, crypto, pillows, and survival gear.

Just FYI, I downloaded the document that they referenced, and it doesn't say that the entire population was biometrically catalogued. It says that people "of interest" and "threats".

You may be right. I haven't wandered around, recently. But, from what have seen, even those places most destitute, they're not much worse off than what I experienced in the 80s and 90s. Now, it's a shame that those places hav

Aren't recessions identified after the fact? If I only listened to media over the past year, I would think we're already deep into a depression.

When there are literally millions of medical experts recommending taking vaccines, why would you expect most people to do otherwise? We're not all medical experts. And, we can't survive without trusting others.

Are you over 50? A year over 50 feels as satisfying as one month being 18. I’d rather enjoy what I have left.

Google+ had a big user base of tech people talking to other tech people. Facebook had the college crowd, and they got their families to join. Twitter isn't all that big, but they got the brands on board.
