It seems like she has a background in EE and physics, but almost all of her work is policy oriented and not actually hands-on building things, at which point, "when all you have is a hammer" seems relevant. From the article:
> [Interviewer:] It’s almost predestined that you’d be in this job. As soon as you got your physics degree at Caltech, you went to DC and got enmeshed in policy.
I'd be inclined to trust an engineer-turned-policymaker more to decide if and what to do about an emerging technology more than the researchers/engineers developing it or the "entrepreneurs" pushing for its development.
Sure, but you could probably still find someone with a deep understanding of the tech who is not directly working in the field.
Or. Maybe you can't - the article also mentions how the US still lacks a CTO and they've tried to find one for the entire Biden administration.
My main issue is that policy makers love to...make policies. Which is exactly what EO14110 is all about. My major concern is that the US is going to box itself in with these regulations, and lose the race to China(or others), and our lives will ultimately be much worse because of it.
My piping hot take is that you want an expert policy builder in a job building policy. So you want someone with a lot of hands-on experience building policy. A senior SWE would have a steep ramp to get qualified for her job, because they do not have hands-on experience building policy.
For example: do they have contacts in the relevant organizations? Do they even know what the relevant organizations are? Do relevant Congresspeople know them and listen when they have something to say? None of the relevant skillset involves being hands-on with e.g. Python or vector databases.
One my favorite things about the anti-SJW movement is how they fundamentally don't understand what they're opposing. They see people using words like "harassment" and achieving results, so they go full cargo cult and start spewing those same words in the belief that they'll be able to achieve something as well. It reminds me of the sovereign citizen movement, a belief that there's some set of magic words that gets results, rather than actually interacting with society.
I don't know, in an Internet context "harassment" can be very ambiguous. In real life situations it's usually pretty clear, but some people may consider certain Internet activities harassment while others may strongly disagree.
One of my favourite things about the anti-SJW movement is how they confuse privately-run forums for government-imposed law.
Nothing is stopping them from running to one of the great many zero-moderation forums that exist online, but of course those forums aren't very attractive to a critical mass of users, so they have less content and fewer third-party tools to integrate with.
The irony is, of course, that by demanding that Reddit cater to their demands, they're impinging on Reddit's freedom of expression. It's their toy; they get to set the rules on how it is used.
No one expects these words to have magical effects - the anti-SJW "movement" is quite well aware that SJW is little more than window dressing on top of bullying. The point of posts like the one you are responding to to illustrate to thinking people that there isn't a consistent philosophy behind the words and they are merely a power grab.
FYI, ttrashh's third sentence should have been the tipoff.
It's not a slippery slope at all. What you said is more like going off a cliff. What you wrote parses as English and highlights an apparent logical contradiction, but it's no more valid than someone complaining about other people being "intolerant of intolerance", and presenting that exercise in reductivism as some sort of deep wisdom.
Harassment is usually defined as some repetitive unwanted targetted behavior, particularly where it has been made clear that the behavior is unwanted. I don't think a single comment is going to be considered harassment.
I had the opposite experience. DotPeek created much better code. using statements were decompiled as usings, JustDecompile produced try/finally blocks.
One of JetBrains primary products is Resharper. It's a must have add on for Visual Studio. If we're going to be subjective I'd say no other IDE gets close to the combination of Visual Studio and Resharper.
He is saying that real time text translation has been there. Microsoft has the translator app that will display the translated text as an "augmented" overlay when you hold the camera up.
Rob is a brilliant guy. We've used his WPF/Silverlight mvvm framework for years. Our consulting company uses durandal.js for current projects. It looks like Durandal v2 is now called Aurelia. I have high hopes for it, he knows how to write a framework.
