The issue with that is that for most organizations their key business data (and all its recorded history) fits in RAM of a sufficiently beefy workstation. They want to call it Big Data to stroke their egos, and properly acquiring, cleaning and integrating that data can take a LOT of effort so that data can be quite expensive and worthy of any glorious label they can think of; but my experience is that processing more than 1TB of meaningful data actually is a narrow use case, which matters in two specific categories: the (relatively few) very large multinational companies, and processing of raw video/audio/image data; and the majority of people working on data analysis end up with business needs that can be satisfied by relatively simple methods on relatively small datasets.
The only way to make your brain as fresh as when you wake up is to wake up. Which means you have to sleep first.

There are some shortcuts you can take in the short term. One is caffeine (which requires large doses if you have a tolerance, will prevent focus if you overdose, will make you crash hard eventually, and will interfere with the sleep you need to be properly refreshed and focused.)

Another is amphetamines (all the downsides of caffeine, plus longer term negative effects, plus legal issues. TL;DR: really bad idea).

Sugar is... well, on HN it's almost political. But let's stick with the non-controversial claims like the fact that it'll make you crash pretty quickly; will cause weight gain if you're not cutting back proportionally on calories elsewhere; and that too much of it can cause diabetes.

There is one substance that I recommend ingesting that can perk you up a bit: water. Even mild dehydration can cause brain fog and low energy. And ok, it's technically possible to consume enough of the stuff to cause negative side effects other than the need to pee. But most of us find it difficult to consume that amount if we tried.
>We're literally contemplating how soon before Roe v. Wade will be nullified over here.

There's currently 1 vote for that (Clarence Thomas). If Trump's pick joins that bandwagon there will be a whopping 2. None of this hysteria is good for America.
I think he is referring to Troy Hunts pwned password list.(which is about 9gb, afaik) Presumably it will be updated with these new plaintext passwords.

Once it’s updated, you can check all your passwords against the list. It’s a list of sha256-hashed passwords.(so he isn’t sharing tons of plaintext passwords, as sha256 can’t be reversed) You would sha256 your own passwords and check them all against the list.

Edit: to clarify, I think there are tools to help check against the offline list pretty easily. Or you could also query Troy hunts pwned password page (or its api)once it’s updated; instead of downloading 9gb. The k-anonymity model is pretty clever, and querying the site should be secure.
This is cool. Had you not considered using a pixellated Sean Connery as the logo?
I live in a relatively small town in northern Sweden and found hundreds of contributors. Sadly the tool clears the result list after yaskswitching on my phone and have to download the data again. Not sure how happy the server is about the usage...

On dappradar DAUs are measured by transactions to the smart contracts, which probably means a user is acquiring or trading a token. While writing to the blockchain is costly, it's free to read and verify between users the ownership of assets. Users of DApp games know this, as putting two cryptocollectibles to fight against each other requires only a read operation that will not be reflected in ranking sites.
An article was just posted on HN titled “Why does your company deserve more money?” What could their answer possibly be?

Most people only care about the widely released movies. AMC has the $19.99 Stubs A Plus plan where you can see up to three movies a week, any format, you don’t have to jump through hoops, and you can buy in advance. I’m sure the other chains are going to follow suite.

From what I have read, AMC is accounting for each movie that you see as a ticket being sold at $8.99 and they give the movie studio 45-65% of the “ticket price”. They also have 65% profit margins on concessions. AMC can do it profitable. Movie Pass, can’t.

Article is perfect example of why AI is unachivable. People make it a moving target like achilies chasing tortoise. Good points about limitations, and needing new approaches, but we should not take approach of looking at rearview mirror and say oh that was easy.
> PhD is probably more fun, though.

Being a PhD student in something like Stanford, MIT, Berkeley can be fun in some way, but in some other ways it's mind blowingly stressful. Working in $BigTech can be boring, but it's usually almost 0 stress.
It's been tried and it's really not that easy.

- Cars will make turns that cross your protected bike path and with parking in the way, a bike's already minimal visible cross section is reduced even more.

- Bikes need to make left turns which is difficult when there are parked cars in the way.

- Pedestrians will happily walk everywhere in your bike lane (oblivious to your bell ringing due to headphones), regardless of whatever paint you delineate the two areas.

In areas with these kinds of bike lanes, I generally ride in the street with the cars. It's safer and faster.
I much prefer divergent stacked bar charts for likert/1-5 ratings, rather than these side-by-side bar charts. It's really hard to compare the distributions. Even a box plot would be better, I think.

For most Venezuelans, getting access to cash is not a practical reality, even if it's a theoretical one. I went to Venezuela in 2011 and you couldn't even bring $1K USD worth of goods into the country without being taxed to death on it (or paying off some government official). How about cash? Also, I'd rather carry a USB stick with a private key on it than a wad of cash in one of the world's most violent countries (in the middle of an economic depression).
Very good point about the epsilons. But at least in the story even they got their soma.

You'll probably saturate the market before you run out of parking. One car space converted to bike racks would hold 20 bikes and if bike share is truly that popular, it's an entirely viable option.
The Chinese firms told the EIA they will continue to use CFC-11 because it’s "superior chemical for foams in house construction." The EIA estimates China’s CFC emissions exceed 2,645 million cubic pounds since 2004. I guess the 1989 CFC treaty they signed was a joke.

China also produces radioactive sludge from rare earth mines and grows world trade food crops not even 1/2 mile away.

When you constantly pollute at the cost of everyone's health your culture is literally toxic. As a Chinese-American I'm sad to say I'm disgusted by the "worlds oldest civilization."
In the image comparing logistic regression and decision trees, it seems to suggest they only used linear features for logistic regression (?). Otherwise, shouldn’t there be a non linear classification boundary?
I was grad council president at that Harvard physics department a couple of years ago, and I helped organize a similar survey.

My first impression here is that things aren't too bad. Some people are commenting, for example, about projectors not having enough cables --- obviously a nuisance, but if those are the issues the department is having, great. (Obvious, easy solution and a relatively small problem to begin with)

Second, I don't really think this is a particularly comprehensive survey. I'm surprised there weren't more pointed questions about job intentions (academia vs industry vs not sure), feeling respected by those around you, the prevalence and (separately) severity of the racism, sexism, and general harassment, etc. Not a single question about teaching, nor a question about actions they'd like to see taken. Relatively few culture questions outside of "do you feel like a community" (something like that).

At Harvard physics, there were more pressing concerns regarding sexism, racism, the quality of the required courses, and professional development. The department did reciprocate and make great changes to the required courses, but deeper biases make the other categories much more difficult to tackle.

I have been helping a lot of students deal with considering industry, as in a physics department it's looked down upon to just be considering industry, let alone pursue it. Or, even if not explicitly looked down upon, it's definitely the culture and general feel, and many students and postdocs prefer to discuss it in private. (I did an internship at Waymo last summer, so people are especially keen on asking me about transitioning to industry)

The survey results are unfortunately not public, so I can't share them. Kudos to the group of students or administrators that put together this data! I'd love to hear what they learned from it and changed as a result of it.
What else can you do in Seattle with absolutely zero skill or qualifications and no willingness to commit that pays that well?

Perhaps this is separate, but Azure has a bit of a latency problem on their App Service Plans and the storage. I know that it has something to do with how they are able to offer instant scaling up, down and out. And the ability to move an app slot to another service plan instantly. However it does have some major performance issues, it's also very slow to unzip items. Unzipping from the terminal will end up just timing out (though the process will complete, eventually.) This causes auto-update failures way too often. Wordpress, Magento, etc objects load really slow for example. I hope someone at Microsoft reads this and figures out a way to bring this latency down. It's a really great service otherwise, in that you don't have to worry about patching your server.

I've never had an issue with their blobs or CDN speeds, but the app service disk latency is an issue. Specifically, in my case, with PHP apps.
>And we never go looking for companies to invest in.

That’s pretty arrogant. I can tell you from first hand experience that the best VCs are vigilant and don’t just expect people to get referred to them. a16z rates themeselves by the % of their competitor’s deals they had seen. You don’t optimize that number just from waiting for the phone to ring.
It makes sense if you are handling millions of requests from all over the world per second and need failovers if machines go down.

But...if you just want to run your own personal search engine say...

Then for Wikipedia/Stackoverflow/Quora size datasets (50GB with with 10GB worth of every kind of index(regex/geo/full text etc) ) you can run real time indexing on live updates with all the advanced search options you see under their "advanced search" page one any random Dell or HP Desktop with about 6-8GB of RAM.

Lots of people do this on Wall Street. People don't get what is possible on desktop cause so much of it has moved to the cloud. It will come back to desktop imho.
>Understanding ancient peoples through their interactions with domesticated animals is really humanizing.

YES. I'm not really a "dog person" (in the sense that I don't immediately take to them, for various reasons), but I've always thought of dogs like a sort of collective guardian species for humanity. They teach us cooperation, connect us with childlike play, and show us what love is supposed to look like. They serve their families with humility and respect-- but only if they are given the proper structural support to do so. It is really the most intimate, symbiotic relationship between species that I can think of. Humans don't just like dogs because they are a source of unconditional love-- humans like dogs because they are love-able unconditionally. It is almost selfless to love a dog.

I feel similarly about cats. I think cats teach us what harmonious independence looks like. They teach us sensitivity-- because you can't just walk up to a cat and expect it to respond to your caress with instant gratitude. If you touch a cat in the wrong spot, it will let you know. If you don't learn the first two times, they may just burn that bridge with you. You have to watch each individual cat closely in order to figure out how you're supposed to interact with it. You have to test your ground with it, as it tests its ground with you. They will remind you to get a grip on your ego, or check yourself, as they are often tricksters and will use your weaknesses against you in order to have a bit of harmless fun-- so you learn how to navigate a strong personality, and how to laugh at life's chaos. Also with that last bit is that they teach you how to have respect, how to be submissive in a constructive way. You also learn to let live. They teach us that it's okay to assert ourselves, that we are allowed to roam by ourselves, and that resting is about being at peace without caveat. Lie down and go to sleep-- who cares if it's not the right time for someone else? Give yourself a break and rest.
Why I took a job (after being a business owner for 14 years)
Some more details to support your point:

The test in question was not even an "F-16 vs F-35" exercise, it was a regression test of a new vehicle control law software with an F-16 being used as a visual reference for maneuvering against. Additionally, the F-35 being used for the test, AF-02, is a "Flight Sciences" aircraft that lacks all of the F-35's mission systems (Radar, Electro Optical Targeting System, communications suite, and electronic warfare suite).
No your questions aren't bad they're actually quite good for what you're testing. Good reasoning to back them up too.

Your funnel also looks pretty normal. I wouldn't be surprised if all 8 fail the test for front-end, welcome to hiring in the real world.

As someone technically literate but doesn't use a password manager: I sign up for a lot of services on one device (home laptop) and then need to use them on another device (work laptop, phone). How does a password manager work for this?

I currently have about ~15 different passwords I use. I know which to use based on how long I've been using the service. Why is this strategy ineffective?? At most a hacker could get 3-4 of the services I use, and even then they'd need to find each of those services out of the hundreds I use. I also have 4 different emails I use for logins.
We’ve had similar issues and timeouts in Node and PHP apps.
$300k for a Stanford CS PhD sounds about right in all seriousness... supply and demand.

If I recall correctly, the only confirmed injury from the recent influx of scooter sharing was from someone tripping over a parked scooter. But the meeting I'm referring to happened about a year ago, and the fear was mostly geared towards private electric longboards and "hoverboards", I think.
This kind of stuff helps restore my faith in humanity. It makes me feel like a hacker again. Life starts and ends with the command line.

Completely moot point though as he demonstrates that even when kdb+ is advantaged by having data be indexed, LocustDB is still faster in 4 of the 5 queries he runs...

So yeah, maybe the guy has no idea what to do with kdb - but ultimately having a fast, free and open-source database & query language beats a fast and expensive piece of commercial software.

That's a lot more effort than lots of people bother with. At least, from the pool of people we interview. But I have no say in that.
I wonder what percentage of people with reservations are waiting to reserve the base battery version (which still won't be available for "6-9 months") My guess is a lot, so Tesla is opening the premium version to non-reservation holders to try to get as many of these sold as possible before they even start on the 35k version.
Yet Vitalik also noted that Ethereum is not yet production ready. The roadmap is clear from the start. Proof of Stake and Sharding is in the plans. PoS has release version 0.1. Imo, the most significant work so far is proving that Smart Contracts do work, people are abusing it, but nevertheless, it works as designed.

> He also said Ethereum's "code is law", until he changed his mind and forked the network due to a hack.

It is ultimately a decision of the miners. They have the power to choose to upgrade or not. As for the decision to fork, it was done via voting. The decision was for the interest of the Ethereum project's success. Being a maximalist and losing sight of the goals is not desirable. But as a miner, you have the choice to not upgrade the Ethereum client you are using. And those who did not now became 'Etherem Classic'. Sure everyone should be a skeptic and hold accountable, but not to the degree of being unreasonable. One should understand why they desired to fork before making conclusions.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon... shows at least six volumes of datasheets, and I still haven't found a instruction set refence. I have found https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/xeon/xeon... (helpfully labeled "Datasheet, volume 2", rather than anything related to it's contents) which describes a subset of the aformentioned ten thousand random control registers. So no, Intel does not make [simple cores], it makes heaping piles of shit complete with malware ("Intel® Management Engine") buried at D22:F0 on a interal PCI bus.

It isn't simple, it's designed to be incorrect (and even the parts that are supposed to be correct aren't), and I'm not surprised it fails on fast as well.
> but how many of us know what the -35 can actually do?

Zero people.

What we know from the years of F-35 testing to date is that the aircraft meets the original contract specifications. What we do not know is how the aircraft will perform in operationally representative scenarios. That will be done beginning later this year (supposedly) when Initial Operational Test & Evaluation begins.

I agree in general. But I think you underestimate how large the set of use cases are where people are processing > 1TB of data. This includes quite a bit of the adtech industry, for instance, even many startups. It also includes data warehouses for other industries, such as in health tech. Of course, these people generally are experts, since it is their core business, so they know well what tools they need. I agree that for some analytics department in a random company whose core business isn't processing data, Hadoop is more likely to be a resume item than something that's really needed.
