That's what I am saying, and that's why it has to be syntactically distinct.

Also it needs to be clear what was input by computer and what was input by human, that's the second distinction. Because of how the conversation works. You don't want computer to erase human input, but the result also has to be logically sound. So you need to know both inputs for the comparison and synthesis, which happens at each conversation turn, both human's and computer's.

And that's what "type holes" and similar systems lack - they only record the result of the synthesis, not the two different opinions. Which is IMHO wrong.
The 2nd "best" country in that under-5 mortality list is Iceland who recently made headlines for having basically eradicated Down Syndrome via abortion. I'm not here to take a stance for or against abortion, but surely the kind of cultural differences that lead to aborting 100% of Down Syndrome babies also affects things like infant and mother mortality.

As far as I can tell, the footprint is around 1MB for the combined skulpt-min.js and sculpt-stdlib.js (not sure why the latter apparently isn't minified). That's pretty huge and makes for a large barrier against using Anvil for a public-facing app. Moving the compilation to the back-end would eliminate the footprint problem -- or would you still have the stdlib running in the client? Any further comments on footprint issues? As it is, we're talking about about two orders of magnitude bigger footprint than some javascript options.
Politics often get flagged to death, and personally I can understand why. For myself the last thing I want to see on hacker news is politics, or at least current domestic US politics which has become such a miserable shit show. At its core HN should be for interesting things, and while politics is incredibly consequential, it’s also incredibly dull.
Brilliant story. Pleased both the author and "hacker" we're happy with the deal struck.
A Tale of Performance Testing
Oh yeah, Ive known people who could do model checking giving up on Idris since it was too difficult. What's interesting about Noether is it builds up from simplest models of computation to single threaded to distributed. The lower levels are like state machines. One could do that in languages for contracts working up from brute-forceable automata toward more expressive stuff that takes more work.

Plus, I thought you'd enjoy the language presentation as extra benefit.

It seems to me you were given three jobs: database admin, data engineer, and data scientist.

When I am talking about automated data cleaning, I am talking more about preprocessing text, dealing with missing variables, discarding duplicates, noisy/uninformative variable and outlier removal, spelling correction, feature interactions and transformations. All of these can be (and are being) largely automated. [1] [2]

A data lake with 150+ undocumented tables is garbage in-garbage out, both for machines and humans. I'd almost label that as the barrier: "Data not available", not: "Dirty data". While a reality for some companies, such a company really needs a DB admin or data engineer, not try to shoehorn an (expensive) data scientist in these roles.

That's how I do VPN. I have my ISP connected router, then a DMZ network with my test servers & three routers: 1) guest, 2) main, 3) VPN. I then use a virtual LAN from (2) to (3) over a virtual interface on (2) to connect to (3) which is NAT'd. Honestly though, the whole advice of "get a VPN to be secure" is ridiculous because it can end up exposing you far more than what you were previously, especially if you are running a VPN client on a host that is running a media client / server like Plex, Kodi, WinAmp, iTunes (Bonjour), etc. If you are a developer and using The Fiddler, Charles Proxy, or the Burp Suite, then there's an easy route to the rest of your internal network. I know the first time I was on a VPN and saw someone on the VPN come through my interception proxy it freaked me out enough to instantly understand the dangers of VPN services.
Ratios eh?

If over 90% of people killed by cops were armed, and the majority of those killed were during the commission of a crime one might come to the conclusion that armed commission of crimes is the leading cause of death by cop.

Blacks commit murder at a ratio of 8 times that as white people. If anything black people are statistically under represented in police homicides

You're ignoring observed magnitudes. If hundreds are dying because cars are going too fast, but two are potentially being saved because the ambulances can go faster, that doesn't make the issues equal.

Disrupt Standardized Testing

We spend ~2 billion on standardized testing in the U.S.; however, perceived drawbacks in how these tests are structured and administered prevent more widespread adoption (though expansion would provide valuable data that is currently unavailable to front line educational staff). The need for standardized testing is largely predicated on a lack of trust in the assessments that classroom instructors are creating and administering, but these untrustworthy assessments are being created in the millions every year. It is a classic 'business that still uses filing cabinets' as the collective value of these materials is largely silo'ed within the binders/file cabinets/'05 Dell Inspiron of the teachers who made them.

Provide a platform that is structured around the creation and administration of assessments BUT the test contents are made available for use by other instructors. The value to the instructor centers on four attributes: immediacy, authenticity, accessibility, and personalization. Immediacy in that an assessment can be created simply by building an appropriate request (e.g. 'comprehension' 'to kill a mockingbird' 'grade 9' 'ten questions'). Authenticity in that this generative model pushes the instructor to rapidly curate their provided assessment elements as appropriate to their lessons (accepted questions remain, rejected questions are replaced: much faster than creating from scratch). Accessibility in that as instructors modify assessment elements (e.g. for an ELL student) those modifications become available to all instructors in the future. Personalization in that the platform could provide any number of assessments that the teacher distributes according to the needs of their individual students, this distribution could likewise be automated to react to past assessment results and further extend the teacher's capabilities.

At the metal, it's one sliver of a Content Management System paired with a Cognitive Tutor. You would need a process for vetting the validity of individual assessment elements, but the teacher curation may offer an initial path (as judging the validity of assessment items would be an implicit element of the workflow). On the back end, you would be in a place to sell assessment data to school districts that is poorly provided by current testing services. You could also sell certified results for higher education, talent identification, and so on. Further on, this platform would be well positioned to create a marketplace for educational content, games, and domain specific tools.

because that's exactly the point.

Make it as hard as you can to get IDs, make those IDs required to vote. There, you just effectively disenfranchised a group.

Then you gerrymander the districts a bunch to split up blocs of voters and prevent them having a majority.

Then you reduce the voting hours, eliminate early voting, and reduce number of places you can vote. This causes massive lines, making it harder to vote.1

Those official attendance figures count tickets issued, not how many fans actually go through the turnstiles. (Teams refuse to release those counts to the public).

You can see massive amounts of empty seats in 4 or 5 NFL stadiums right now. Some cities have extremely loyal fan bases regardless of record (e.g. Green Bay, Pittsburgh), but you can see many seats going completely unsold in Levi's Stadium (49ers).

In fact, Pittsburgh was the reference standard that the 49ers (for one) used as a comparison in selling licenses for their building ("see how WELL those licenses are selling! Don't miss out!").

Another GitLabber here.

We just kicked off a major effort to address the availability issue Sid mentions above. The highlights are that we're moving to GCP which should provide better underlying reliability. But interestingly we found that only about ~20% of our downtime minutes where from underlying infrastructure. Whereas ~70% came from features that didn't scale.

So the more exciting part of the project is to tighten the feedback loop between development and deployment with a continuous delivery pipeline. This may be obvious to some people, but it's harder to pull off when you've got an open source project, an on-prem product, and a large-scale SaaS sharing the same code base. I'm calling it "Open-core SaaS" and there are only a handful of companies that run a large, multi-tenant service based on an open source project.

That seems contrary to the criterion... Expected value dismisses risk and the fact that once someone loses their money, it is much harder to gain it back.

If you have 100 dollars..and you lose 50% of it on a fair coin bet, you now have $50.

Say you play again..You win. Youll only have $75 ($50 times 150%.)

Thats the basis of risk analysis. That losing and winning arent equal for finite bankrolls just because their probabilities are equal.

First accept the fact that your team - despite their vaunted achievements in many areas - is not competent in ideation. Ideation is more than just pulling a rabbit (you've probably pulled one or two already, despite your collective lack of skill). It's akin to pulling a rabbit egg out of a hat, fertilizing it in a petri dish, and shepherding its development into a furry, scampering critter). It's a process of vision.

Your options are 1) develop this skill; 2) find someone who has. Weigh the effort and palatability of personal transformation vs setting aside the signal-detection machinery that has thus far excluded competent ideators from your circle.
