Porting photoshop to iOS/ARM could also in part be motivated by a known or perceived Apple transition from Intel to their own ARM chips.

WinterLight Labs (http://www.winterlightlabs.com) | Machine Learning Engineer | Toronto, Canada | Full Time | Onsite & At home

WinterLight Labs is a Toronto-based company which has developed cutting-edge software for objectively measuring cognitive impairment by automatically quantifying hundreds of aspects of speech and language using natural language processing algorithms and machine learning. We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer ​to specialize in the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and machine learning (ML) models. This role may involve:

● In-house implementation of state-of-the-art ASR models, using deep neural networks and open-source tools, such as Kaldi. ● Research and development of methods for online re-training and adaptation of ASR models, especially for individuals with speech disorders (e.g., aphasia) and elderly voices ● Analysis of the robustness of lexico-syntactic features derived from errorful ASR transcripts. ● Implementation of additional lexico-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic features derived from textual transcripts ● Implementation of additional acoustic features derived from the speech signal ● Optimization of feature selection and dimensionality reduction techniques ● Optimization of model hyperparameters, and experimentation with a variety of model types. ● Optimization of multi-view approaches to data fusion ● Leveraging unsupervised and supervised approaches to data fusion

Those are several possible negative outcomes of positive discrimination. It's also possible that more women speakers at conferences encourages other women to speak, to work on side projects and generally to do things that get them promoted.

I think her point is that since there is so much negative discrimination, the positive discrimination is cancelled out.
