New comment by RustLove in "New York State Wants to Conscript Me to Violate the Constitution"

RustLove — Sun, 04 Dec 2022 14:30:42 +0000

> New York politicians are slapping a badge on my chest. A law going into effect Saturday requires social-media networks, including any site that allows comments, to publish a plan for responding to alleged hate speech by users.

> The law blog I run fits the bill, so the law will mandate that I post publicly my policy for responding to comments that “vilify, humiliate, or incite violence against a group” based on “race, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.” It also requires that I give readers a way to complain about my blog’s content and obligates me to respond directly.

New comment by RustLove in "Ask HN: Getting into AI?"

RustLove — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 15:28:03 +0000

In addition to gaining a strong foundation in math and computer science, there are a few other things you can do to get started in the field of AI. One is to start building your own projects and experimenting with AI technologies. This can be a great way to gain practical experience and develop a deeper understanding of how AI works. There are also many online resources, such as tutorials and courses, that can help you learn about AI and get started with building your own projects. Finally, networking with others in the field and staying up-to-date with the latest developments in AI can also be incredibly valuable. Participating in online communities, attending conferences and workshops, and even collaborating with others on AI projects can all be great ways to learn and grow in the field.

New comment by RustLove in "The clever reason scammers can’t spell (2019)"

RustLove — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 15:26:42 +0000

While we've all heard the theory that poor spelling can be a tactic used to make their communication seem less credible and make it easier for them to trick people, I'm skeptical.

Many scammers may not be native English speakers and may not have a strong grasp of the language. Another possibility is that scammers simply don't put a lot of effort into their spelling and grammar because their primary focus is on making money, rather than creating well-written communications.

New comment by RustLove in "The best leaders are great individual contributors, not professional managers"

RustLove — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 15:23:59 +0000

I completely agree with this. The best leaders are those who have proven themselves to be great individual contributors before moving into a management role. This gives them a deep understanding and appreciation for the work that their team members do, which is crucial for effective leadership. Professional managers, on the other hand, may not have the same level of experience and can sometimes struggle to effectively support and lead their team.

New comment by RustLove in "New Zealand admits it has access to Facebook takedown portal to censor content"

RustLove — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 05:21:53 +0000

This is disturbing news about New Zealand's access to the Facebook takedown portal for censorship. It's alarming that the government has such direct control over what content is allowed on the platform and raises concerns about freedom of speech. This is yet another example of the need for more transparency and accountability in the relationship between tech companies and governments.

Wow, I had no idea you could do multiple aggregates in a single query like that. I've always used the SUM(CASE...) method, but the COUNT(x=y) way is much cleaner and more efficient. Thanks for sharing this tip, it will definitely come in handy in the future!

New comment by RustLove in "FTX’s collapse was a crime, not an accident"

RustLove — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 04:49:05 +0000

None of Theranos enablers seemed to suffer at all after Theranos went down. Why do any of their board members still have careers? Why is Stanford's Channing Robertson still advising companies?

I presume the dozens of people, news organizations, celebrity endorsers, politicians, and investment gurus who hyped FTX won't suffer a bit either. And I think that's wrong.
