> some people own more stock than others.

The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of stocks even with market participation at a record high - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wealthiest-10-americans-own-9... - January 10th, 2024

> The richest Americans own the vast majority of the US stock market, according to Fed data. The top 10% of Americans held 93% of all stocks, the highest level ever recorded. Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans held just 1% of all stocks in the third quarter of 2023.

> In any event, stock market booms have traditionally produced the largest rewards for those who are already wealthy. That's because the wealthiest US households have most of their assets tied up in equities, while most middle-class families have their assets tied up in housing, researchers said in a 2020 study.

That take’s outdated. In the US/EU, routine antibiotics in fish farming are banned [1]. Growth hormones aren’t used in edible fish. Farmed salmon’s feed changed (more plant oils), but it still delivers high omega-3s and usually less mercury than wild [2].

Created a self-hosted API for CRUD-ing JSON data using GO. Helps me with quick/flexible data storage tasks that can easily interface with different programs.

The API is based on the JSON structure. So the example below is for CRUD-ing [key1][key2] in file.json. The value (which can be anything) is then added to the body of the request. Moreover, there are helper functions for appending and incrementing values.

DELETE/PUT/GET: localhost:8080/api/file/key1/key2/...

You do know that you can learn to make new sounds with your mouth, tongue and vocal chords right? You are aware that just because a particular language does not use a phoneme that does not eliminate your ability to reproduce it? I have a lot of fun learning how to make sounds and pronounce things properly from different languages, my latest being Danish, which is proving difficult but certainly far from impossible. Perhaps you should try it, sometime?

Despite your otherwise quality contributions to HN, you're coming off as a bit insane here. I hope you understand that, which is why I will continue to badger my point; there is no reason they can't ask that people use their preferred name. None. The only thing you do by continuing to argue against that point is push your own Anglicize-all-the-things notion of the world, which is certainly not shared by all, not even remotely.

Where do you get "jewish people" from? It's an odd but also very interesting conclusion of yours. Do you feel that the jewish people are implicated when someone says "the most unhinged and narcissistic people" and "perpetrated that endless abuse upon the German people"?

What else would you call what has been done to the German people for 80 years now and seemingly for the foreseeable future as they are very psychologically and emotionally broken people from the perpetual "blood libel" abuse that has been perpetrated against them and their children from the earliest memory on throughout all their life? Is that healthy, to forever fixate and obsess and bring up and accuse people of things that happened several generations before they were born, and perpetrated by very specific and limited people who were punished for it? Do you think the German people are uniquely due for the most utterly evil and vile practices of collective guilt?

Since you seem to assume the "jewish people" qualify as being referenced with "the most unhinged and narcissistic people", why would you think that people are collectively guilty, not even to mention across generations?

What we witnessed in Gaza is an evil that is far worse than what was perpetrated 85 years ago, will you also collectively shame and abuse and berate all jewish people of the world with constant references of how they deliberately played games of shooting starving children in different body parts for points?

You really should reexamine your messed up perspective if you want to believe yourself a good person. No people deserve collective guilt, unless they are collectively engaged in something. What humanity should make of the polling in Israel and the USA among Jewish communities about their views of whether a genocide was happening, whether it should happen, and whether there are any innocent people in Gaza, is something that may need to be reexamined. At least the Nazis lied to their populations about what was going on, because it was a totalitarian dictatorship (as you were told all your life too). What is to be made of the fact that Israel is a democracy and a very civilly engaged and politically aware democracy?

Maybe think about some of those things instead of just reading with Automatica response tricks you have been trained to perform.

This could have been an honest mistake. Surely he'll revoke the pardon and let Changpeng Zhao face a regular trial, so there's no misunderstanding, right?

He always knew, it's shameful how politicians behave like spoiled children instead of well-adjusted adults in a position of great responsibility. Why does this kind of people keep rising to the top?

We're a GPU cloud building software to use GPUs more efficiently.

To our customers, we are a direct substitute for Runpod, Lambda, Coreweave, etc. with a simpler UX and lower prices.

Our advantage is software - we have spent 3 years bringing research technology to market which lets us use each GPU more efficiently than competitors. At the same time, our software focus lets us provide a high-quality, industry-leading UX.

In a space where customers shop around and try several providers, having a better product at lower prices has let us quickly expand.

We recently closed ~$4.5M of funding to triple our team size and continue building best-in-class software.

If you're cracked at building C++ systems software (most of our team came from HFT) or kubernetes infrastructure, reach out.

To apply: email met at carl@thundercompute.com and mention HN to guarantee I see your application.

I've never tried Mint, the two distros I've definitely experienced the vast majority of steam games just working out of the box were Fedora (earlier) and OpenSUSE (currently). I'm not lying. Although it's probably also worth mentioning I have a fairly modern AMD GPU (6800xt) - ymmv on NVidia or older cards.

This comment is probably going to come off weird, because you're posting in a forum full of people who have found such an alternative.

> Comment sections - encouraging pile-ons, and vitriolic debate

The early millennium blogosphere had comments sections, and lots of vitriolic debate. They inspired XKCD 635, after all. I think the problem today is not the opportunity to comment and debate, but rather the fact that the phone keyboard is the input device for the majority of internet users. Population-wide, phone keyboards discourage longform text and nuance, even if some individuals will claim they can comfortably type just as much as on a physical keyboard.

Narrative I/O | Senior Backend & Frontend Engineer positions | New York, NY | Full-time | REMOTE (4-hour overlap with EST for backend, US & Canada for frontend) | $120k to $200k USD | https://narrative.io/

Narrative has been building a data collaboration platform designed for simplicity and ease of use since being founded in 2016.

Our primary strength is functioning as a data marketplace where we differentiate ourselves by automatically standardizing data, making platform data accessible through the Narrative Query Language (NQL), giving data providers the ability to define row-level access and pricing policies, and making it easy to deliver data to a variety of destinations using our "Connector Framework".

We operate two flavours of our platform: An AWS-based implementation that runs on our infrastructure, and a Snowflake-based version running inside the user's Snowflake account.

We are a small, remote-first team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. While the company's headquarters are in NYC, the development team currently includes engineers working from the US (California and New York), Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, and Québec), Poland, and Serbia.

In brief, the technologies we use are:

- Backend: Scala, Spark, Apache Iceberg, Apache Calcite, Cats, Cats-Effect, Http4s, FS2, Doobie, Deequ, Axolotl, BentoML, and HuggingFace Transformers.

- Frontend: Typescript, VueJS, Nuxt, Vite, and Cloudflare Pages.

- Operations: AWS (ECR, ECS, EMR, RDS, S3, etc.), Datadog, Docker, Terraform, with some burgeoning use of EKS/Kubernetes.

Job postings and more on information about our team and culture are available at: https://jobs.narrative.io/

FB seems to have figured it out finally and their stock took a huge hit for the investment of infra. Also, despite being behind in sota models and huge human capital investments for research, I believe they are benefiting greatly from oai and the likes.

Every image/video/text post on a meta app is essentially subsidized by oai/gemini/anthropic as they are all losing money on inference. Meta is getting more engagement and ad sales through these subsidized genai image content posts.

Long term they need to catch up and training/inference costs need to drop enough such that each genai post costs less than net profit on the ads but they’re in a great position to bridge the gap.

The end of all of this is ad sales. Google and Meta are still the leaders of this. OpenAI needs a social engagement platform or it is only going to take a slice of Google.

SEEKING WORK - Data scientist, data/software consulting & fractional leadership, Canada/remote worldwide, email in profile.

I'm a data scientist in a world of data technicians and I look for hard problems to solve. Hair on fire "This is causing lemon-law recalls and we can't solve it." type problems - I've done a few of those. I have 15+ years experience helping companies plan, prototype, and productionize sane data science solutions.

I love avant-garde problems, and have a pretty unique skillset. I've worked with names you know in automotive, aviation, tech, and other spaces. Recently I've been working with Oil & Gas - Production estimates, pricing, failure analysis, and other interesting things.

I've worked on projects including LLMs, knowledge extraction, automotive part failure prediction, vehicle route planning in constrained environments, translation, maintenance optimization, automated sports highlights, maritime piracy, and more.

Two things I would love to work on, feel free to ping me on these:

- Offensive & defensive security. I've been working through some ideas for a while now to apply AI (Not LLMs) to security. I think they could harden a network environment even in the presence of usable exploits against an active adversary. - Executive memory and longer range functioning using LLM's. Steve Yegge has been working a little bit on this recently (and blogging about it), I’ve been working on formalizing this.

I don't see it mentioned enough in the comments here, but not considering Celery as an alternative to Django + async really is the missing puzzle piece here. Aside from application-level options that weren't explored, I'm wondering whether handling some of the file IO stuff with, for instance, nginx, might be a better fit for their use case.

Once you're in the situation of supporting a production system with some of the limitations mentioned, you also owe it to yourself to truly evaluate all available options. A rewrite is rarely the right solution. From an engineering standpoint, assuming you knew the requirements pretty early on, painting yourself into a bad enough corner to scrap the whole thing and pick a new language gives me significant pause for thought.

In all honesty I consider a lot of this blog post to be a real cause for concern -- the tone, the conflating arguments (if your tests were bad before, just revisit them), the premature concern around scaling. It really feels like they may have jumped to an expensive conclusion without adequate research.

In an interview, I would not advance a candidate like this. If I had a report who exhibited this kind of reasoning, I'd be drilling them on fundamentals and double-checking their work through the entire engineering process.

i would expect the more dense part to be the smaller gamut that can be made with paint since we've been naming those colors for a lot longer than the larger gamut that can be made with a screen. The paint/print gamut looks kinda like the more dense parts of these scatter plots within the larger sRGB cube (though the paint gamut isn't entirely contained within sRGB).

I disagree. While smaller networks are a good thing for the social media landscape, ultimately people should go seek other activities where socializing is a secondary benefit. Rather than spending time on a social network. If we take a month to refocus on non-social-first activity we will be healthier 1000000x as communities.

Lemmy is great btw. I started putting “lemmy” instead of “reddit” in my searches and it often works.

"bracing" ?

we already have it.

In order of approximately most significant to least significant acts of political violence just in the last 6 months:

* The assassination of Melissa Hortman (D - MN House) and attempted assassinations of John Hoffman (D - MN Senate) and each of their spouses.

* The assassination attempt (arson) on Josh Shapiro (D - PA Governor)

* The assassination of Charlie Kirk (R - not a public official)

and there were several other acts of political violence in 2024 (including the attempted assassinations of Trump and of Nancy Pelosi and her husband)

I mean if your have a 750kw motor for each wheel, then they're probably always spinning when you floor it, so you also have enough torque to fully use your tires for stopping purposes

EDIT: Quick maths show that decelerating at 1g (basically what the best sport tires can do) in a 2000kg car at 300kph requires absorbing ~1500kw, so conveniently two of these motors.

It would be nice to know what are the earliest Lenovo laptops that fully support the latest Windows 11.

Plus, also the earliest models where bios updates are not being neglected by the manufacturer. Even if Windows 10 is the limit these are ideal Linux machines.

In addition, there have got to be some where no more bios updates will be forthcoming, but the final version is not that dangerously out-of-date.

That's about the size of it. Oddly enough, whether police can collect DNA from arrestees was the main legal issue in a moot court competition that I participated in some years back. The Supreme Court eventually took up that issue (in case originating in Maryland) and found that a DNA swab at the time of arrest was constitutional (see here for a summary: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2012/12-207).

It's not clear to me from the original article here whether France's system requires an actual arrest before they can demand that a person give DNA.

ORMs not only help with the result of the query but but also when writing queries. When I wrote SQL I was constantly checking table names, columns, and enums. With a good ORM like EF Core not only you get autocomplete, type checking, etc but dealing with relationships is much less tedious than with SQL. You can read or insert deeply nested entities very easily.

Obviously ORMs and query builders won't solve 100% of your queries but they will solve probably +90% with much better DX.

For years I used to be in the SQL-only camp but my productivity has increased substantially since I tried EF for C# and Drizzle for TS.
